Chapter 158: Brother Tumu's Charming Moment
A few days later, a new batch of recruited Akatsuki ninjas arrived at the front line.
Although this group of ninjas are newcomers, their average strength is surprisingly good, and their composition is quite complex!
Some of them were Rain Ninjas who served under Hanzo in the past, some were Wandering Ninjas who had once sought refuge in the Land of Rain, and some were even rebel ninjas from the surrounding small ninja villages who fled to the Land of Rain because they could not bear the suffering of war.
So much so that when Shiba Kiyokawa saw it, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
"This Kakuzu... everyone sent here is truly talented."
However, Shiba Qinghe changed his mind and thought: their Rain Country's own ninja school has only been built for less than a year, and it will indeed take time to provide a new generation of ninjas.
So it’s not surprising to have such a result.
However, in doing so, the problem was thrown from Kakuzu back to Shiba Kiyokawa.
Shiba Kiyokawa originally thought that the new reinforcements coming from the rear would be "blank sheets of paper" that he could quickly alter and shape.
But now the result is not the case.
Most of these people are ninjas with certain combat experience.
The advantage is that he is better at fighting than you expected.
But the downside is that it will undoubtedly be much more difficult to get these people to change their past habits and teach them to follow new military regulations and training.
As a result, on the first day the reinforcements arrived, some troublemakers appeared and disobeyed management.
"Who are you trying to frame? I've been a ninja for more than ten years. I started killing people with a kunai when I was seven years old! I've never heard that ninja battles need to follow so many rules!
Don't think you can bully others just because you have seniority! You are just a Chunin, why are you so arrogant in front of me?"
The one who spoke was a one-eyed ninja who was nearly thirty years old. There was a scar on his face extending from his brow to his chin. One could tell from his appearance that he was a ruthless man.
When I asked about his resume, I found out that he was a Jonin in the past!
"Do jonin also wander around these days?" Shiba Kiyokawa asked the ninja who was in charge of registering new recruits.
The man also looked troubled, "I don't know, I heard that this man was a refugee from the Land of Earth."
"Is it related to Iwagakure?" Shiba Kiyokawa narrowed his eyes and asked another question.
The person in charge of registration answered, "Probably not. I heard that he was a ninja recruited by the Daimyo of the Land of Earth, and later somehow escaped to live in our Land of Rain."
"Then what did he do in the Rain Country before he joined this war?" Shiba Kiyokawa asked again.
The person registering the registration had an expression that was hard to describe. "He is good at earth escape. He had been working as a mortar worker on a construction site in the capital for several months."
"..."
Killing someone at the age of seven, and ending up ashes at the age of twenty-seven, this is the charm of the old man, right? Shiba Qinghe couldn't help but complain in his heart.
But think about it from another angle: this can be regarded as a kind of praise for his efforts in promoting the transformation of the Rain Country for more than half a year -
Some people would rather stay in the Rain Country and collect dust than go back to the Earth Country and live on the edge of a knife.
This shows that the new life he has brought to the Rain Kingdom is indeed attractive enough!
But no matter how much we think about it, the current problem still needs to be solved.
The next moment, Shiba Kiyokawa walked into the venue and said in a loud voice, "You think that Chunin is not qualified to command you, right?"
Originally, Shiba Kiyokawa was standing outside the venue and not many people noticed him.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone looked over and many people recognized his identity immediately.
In just one second, all the followers who were originally following Brother Tumu and making a fuss became obedient.
They retreated in an orderly manner, leaving the civil engineer exposed in the front. He sold out his teammates decisively, and took a step back quickly and seriously.
A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Today, Shiba Kiyokawa is no longer the unknown young man pretending to be a member of the Shimura clan!
As the news of Akatsuki's victory over Konoha and forcing back Minato Namikaze spread, his name was praised throughout the ninja world!
Not to mention that the group of people in front of them are still making a living in the Rain Country. How dare they act rudely in front of Shiba Kiyokawa at this moment?
So for a moment, Brother Tumu was the only one left standing alone in the awkward row, facing Shiba Kiyokawa's gaze alone, and the sweat on his forehead instantly flowed down.
But now the arrow has been shot and there is no turning back, so he can only answer with gritted teeth.
"It is true that there was no such thing as a Chunin commanding a Jonin in the past. I am just speaking based on the facts. How did you say that sentence..."
The civil engineer scratched his head for a while, but he was uneducated and couldn't remember the words for a long time.
Shiba Kiyokawa guessed that what he meant was "not the person, but the matter."
In response, Shiba Kiyokawa just smiled.
I thought to myself that I still like the rebellious look you had just now.
"You should have heard before you came here that the Akatsuki organization's combat forces have a brand new command system and rules and regulations. Now that you are here, you must abide by them!
However, in order to dispel your doubts and make you obey clearly, let's organize a showdown.
How many new jonin do you have?"
Brother Tumu looked back and the answer he gave in the end surprised Shiba Kiyokawa.
"We have a total of twelve jonin here."
There are actually twelve?
Is it true that the construction site in the Rain Country is full of hidden talents?
However, he only gave a brief confirmation and the plan did not change.
"Well, then I will only send one jonin, and the others will be chuunins, so we will have a total of 120 people, and let's have a duel.
My subordinates will let you understand why the Chunin can command the Jonin under the new system."
The Akatsuki organization now has six battalions, and the one hundred and twenty people is exactly twenty people from each battalion.
Even with an all-Chunnin lineup, Shiba Kiyokawa has absolute confidence in the troops under his command!
The smaller the number of people in a battle, the greater the impact of the quality of the individual ninjas;
But on the other hand, the more people participate in the war, the greater the value of multi-line coordination and advanced command system!
Unless the individual strength of a ninja can reach the level of Kage, Shiba Kiyokawa believes that this law will not be wrong!
Several previous battles with Konoha had already proven this.
Moreover, the brutal war also helped him to temper the troops under his command!
This is an elite team that even Minato Namikaze can't defeat!
It's time to open the eyes of these newcomers who have never seen the world.
Brother Tumu had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem and was still secretly delighted, thinking that he had twelve jonins to one and that the advantage was on his side!
Soon, the new recruits also gathered the same number of ninjas.
In order not to break up the original team relationships, Shiba Kiyokawa even kindly allowed them to bring two more people to the field, making up a total of 122 people.
The old army had exactly 120 people.
If it weren't for the need for an experienced commander-in-chief, Shiba Kiyokawa would have even thought of sending all the Chunins to fight and make the opponent lose speechlessly.
However, when he saw the confident smile on the other side's face before the start, Shiba Qinghe was not worried.
Even like this now, he felt that the effect would not be much different.
The next battle is destined to reshape many people's outlook on life, world view and ninja!
