Revolution in the Ninja World

Habara advanced cautiously, gradually approaching the dangerous area of the battlefield. Actually, once he crossed the Kumo control line and reached the relatively rear areas, the danger level wouldn't be as high.

As for whether Habara could successfully cross this control line, frankly, it involved an element of luck. If he was lucky, he could stroll across casually. If he was unlucky, he would run into Kumo ninjas… Ninjas controlled the front lines in a rather loose manner, relying on powerful sensory ninjas rather than large numbers of ordinary personnel. Therefore, loopholes would always appear.

However, in the face of such a situation, normal people wouldn't leave their life and death to so-called luck.

If Habara knew Shadow Clone Technique or a similar physical clone technique, his infiltration would be much easier. However, he didn't.

When he was about fifty kilometers away from the target location, Habara once again took out the mission map Orochimaru had given him. After staring at the map for a long time, he finally determined the position from which he would cross.

Plus, he had just figured something out: relying solely on himself to avoid detection was highly unlikely. Thus, he finally decided to implement that bold and unethical infiltration plan.

Konoha's "Yellow Flash" had very distinct characteristics. The enemy could recognize him at a glance, and basically, no one would think that the "Yellow Flash" they saw was a counterfeit. As explained earlier, a ninja like the "Yellow Flash" had the ability to pierce through Kumo's battle lines. Once he appeared on the battlefield and showed an offensive posture, it was bound to trigger a series of uncontrollable chain reactions.

The "Yellow Flash" would make the enemy's actions unpredictable, which would also make it impossible for Konoha to respond to those uncertainties… If Namikaze Minato was actually on the battlefield, then of course Konoha would have no problems, and might even experience a surge in morale. However, what if the "Yellow Flash" was fake?

In short, this kind of self-defeating behavior, which would only cause chaos for both sides, would normally never be done by anyone.

But Habara didn't care about that. Just because he had a Konoha forehead protector, did that mean he truly considered himself a Konoha ninja?

The appearance of the "Yellow Flash" on the battlefield would indeed make the enemy's behavior unpredictable, but the enemy's first reaction was predictable… a contraction of forces.

Ordinary ninjas were useless against Namikaze Minato; they would just be fodder. Killing 50 enemies in seconds certainly wasn't Minato's limit. And what Habara was doing was essentially making the Kumo ninjas huddle together and make way.

Normally, people would describe this kind of intelligent move with a certain… colorful phrase. [Implied: It's a very morally questionable tactic.]

Since the plan was clear, Habara checked his equipment, and then the infiltration began.

...

Sensory and reconnaissance ninjas were a scarce resource. Not every ninja village was like Konoha, with a large quantity and high quality of reconnaissance ninjas. In this regard, Konoha's approach had always been lavish. Was one Hyuga enough? No? Then how about a pair, three of a kind, a straight, a flush, a full house, four of a kind, and a royal flush of Hyugas? That should be enough, right?

And Konoha was already in decline at this point. In the past, Konoha had the Hyuga on the left hand and the Uzumaki on the right. The enemy's underwear color would be clearly visible.

However, although other ninja villages didn't have the Byakugan, everyone knew the importance of intelligence. Therefore, each village also had its own excellent sensory and reconnaissance ninjas, and Kumo was no exception.

So, when something approached their control zone at high speed, Kumo immediately detected it.

Had someone misunderstood the meaning of infiltration? No, it was because he had his own strategy.

"Bearing 60/45, direction NE… I understand, I'm very close to that area. I'll go check it out immediately."

A Kumo ninja received the message transmitted from headquarters in the most covert and rapid manner, and then headed straight for the target.

As this ninja said, he was very close to that area, so he quickly saw the "target":

Young, wearing the standard Konoha Jonin attire, but…

He had golden hair.

When the Kumo ninja saw the target, the target seemed to have also noticed him. So, when the rapidly moving "target" slowly turned his head, the Kumo ninja instantly stopped breathing.

His gaze met a pair of lake-blue eyes, clear and bottomless, without a trace of impurity.

Yellow Flash!

It was Konoha's Yellow Flash!

After making eye contact, the Kumo ninja's ability to think even stopped for a few seconds, because he instinctively believed that he was already dead. Only after that figure disappeared did he reach out and touch his neck, discovering that his head was actually still on duty.

Recovering his senses, he gasped for breath.

This information had to be immediately transmitted back to headquarters. First, the "Yellow Flash" didn't even bother to silence him, indicating that he was on an urgent mission where he couldn't waste even half a second. Second, the "Yellow Flash's" direction of advance was towards Kumo's headquarters.

First, there was "Konoha's White Fang," and then there was the "Yellow Flash," each generation surpassing the previous. This kind of ability to decide the outcome of a battle with a single blow, this terrifying deterrent that struck directly at the heart, couldn't be summarized by simply saying "very strong in combat." In this sense, ten thousand Kakashis couldn't compare to one Namikaze Minato… Uh, ten thousand seemed a bit exaggerated.

Kakashi was a genius, not beyond saving.

After all, he could also master the Transformation Technique.

After the Kumo ninja transmitted the message that the "Yellow Flash" had appeared and might be attacking headquarters, Kumo's movements aside, he finally had time to recall the details of what had just happened. Then he realized… the "Yellow Flash" didn't seem as fast as imagined.

Although the other party was very fast, he was far from being elusive. Perhaps that was his economical cruising speed? Okay, this small detail wasn't actually important.

The "Yellow Flash" who appeared on the front lines was naturally only Habara. As for how he moved at high speed, it was because the Transformation Technique only changed his appearance. In reality, he was still carrying two lumps of iron. Using these two lumps of iron, he could "take off."

And theoretically, regardless of whether he had lumps of iron on him or not, for someone who could manipulate magnetic forces, he should be able to fly easily. It was just that, at his current stage, it was easier to stick to playing with iron.

He levitated his body close to the ground and constantly burst chakra from his feet to propel himself. In this way, he achieved "ground-level flight" with a muscle-powered engine… A true magnetic levitation human-powered train.

The speed was so-so; don't compare it to true godspeed.

As for things like superconducting magnetic fluid propulsion, sorry, for the current Habara, human-powered propulsion was already quite high-end.

After letting two or three more enemies witness the "Yellow Flash," Habara directly dispelled the Transformation Technique, then changed his direction of advance. He no longer recklessly ran towards Kumo's core area, but instead began to move towards the marked location on the map.

About half an hour later.

The Konoha front-line camp received the latest movements from Kumo.

Orochimaru was a little stunned:

"Kumo is preparing for a final decisive battle?"
