Ninjas had strong execution and obedience.
Even so, it took a week for the major ninja clans to submit their lists to the Hokage Building.
Although the ninja clans controlling various departments had great power, their files and information were completely exposed and could not be falsified.
Except for clansmen who had not yet graduated or had not been arranged to enter departments, the names, ninja registration numbers, ranks, resumes, and even specialties of all active clansmen were placed before Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen had said, none of the patriarchs of the major ninja clans chose to personally lead teams into battle.
However, there were several Jonin-level members on the list who were representatives of the major ninja clans.
To command these clan members, one had to conquer these representatives.
Entrusted with heavy responsibilities, the Sannin, Hatake Sakumo, and Shimura Danzo began to select members and form combat units.
There were many types of combat units: reconnaissance teams responsible for infiltration and intelligence gathering, surprise attack units to probe the enemy, mid-range squads skilled in weapons and hidden weapons, close-combat squads responsible for charging at the front line to kill enemies, combat squads responsible for protracted battles, long-range squads responsible for supporting the front line and protecting logistics, and special combat squads skilled in special Ninjutsu and Hiden techniques.
In addition to the combat units formed by Orochimaru and the others, various departments were also forming support units.
Support units were responsible for providing logistics, medical, sensing, and intelligence support.
These were tasks for designated ninja clans and Genin, requiring longer preparation time.
Furthermore, there was the Anbu Black Ops, representing the will of the Five Kage, assisting combat and support units in the dark and doing things unknown to others.
As the combat units took shape, squads began to leave Konoha one by one, heading for the border.
Unless the war didn't break out, who knew how many people were being seen for the last time.
Support units, with the financial support of the Land of Fire, began to organize supplies, ready to transport them to the border at any time.
"War actually broke out!"
Looking at the village with people leaving one after another, Uzumaki Kushina hadn't expected her words to become a prophecy.
She looked at Gojo Yoru leaning on the balcony railing beside her and couldn't help but ask, "Yoru, did Orochimaru-sensei leave too?"
"Mhm, he came to tell me a week ago. He's going to guard the border." Gojo Yoru nodded.
"Did Orochimaru-sensei not take you?"
"No, the war hasn't broken out yet." Gojo Yoru smiled. "I heard the Land of Rain is fighting the Land of Wind. The village is just preparing for a rainy day. If the flames of war don't reach the Land of Fire, they will return soon after the war between Amegakure and Sunagakure ends."
"Besides, our Land of Fire and Konoha are the strongest country and village in the Ninja World. Genin are not needed on the front lines yet."
"Even if we participate, it will only be for logistical support."
Of course, that's for ordinary Genin.
Gojo Yoru didn't say the last sentence.
After the end of the First Great Ninja War, Konoha had recuperated for so many years, and its national strength had long recovered to its peak, even stronger than during the First Great Ninja War.
Even though Uzumaki Mito was dead and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki hadn't grown up yet, Konoha feared no country.
It certainly wouldn't send Genin to the front lines.
If a butterfly effect occurred, leading to insufficient firepower for Konoha, Genin might participate in the war.
There was even a possibility of requiring trainee ninjas from the Ninja Academy to graduate early and be sent to the battlefield.
Once that critical situation arrived, Uzumaki Kushina, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, would have to be on standby.
But for now, Konoha didn't need the Jinchuriki on the field.
Gojo Yoru was different!
Although Orochimaru didn't say it explicitly, Gojo Yoru sensed that the village would use his Flying Thunder God Technique.
His positioning was very special.
"So that's how it is."
Naturally, Uzumaki Kushina didn't know Gojo Yoru's thoughts.
Hearing that Gojo Yoru didn't need to go to the battlefield and would only be responsible for logistics even if he participated, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Gojo Yoru had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and had extremely strong survival abilities, Uzumaki Kushina still couldn't help but worry about him.
After all, Uzumaki Kushina, having witnessed the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools, knew all too well the brutality of war.
"Yoru, let's go train." Uzumaki Kushina suddenly spoke, her eyes determined. "I want to train in sensing and Sealing Jutsu simultaneously, as well as the Big Ball Rasengan you mentioned."
The impending outbreak of war filled Uzumaki Kushina with motivation to become stronger.
Mito-sama's Chakra could only last for a few years.
During these few years, if she didn't awaken the Adamantine Sealing Chains and possess the power to restrain the Nine-Tails, she could be affected by the Nine-Tails' Chakra at any time.
Gojo Yoru had the Flying Thunder God Technique, so Uzumaki Kushina wasn't worried about hurting him.
The reason she wanted to become stronger was recalling Uzumaki Mito's words before she died.
The Nine-Tails was a creature of materialized Chakra. If one could gain the Tailed Beast's approval, a special bond would be formed, granting the Jinchuriki incredible power. This special bond was called a "Perfect Jinchuriki."
Even if one couldn't influence the Tailed Beast, one could forcibly suppress and snatch the Tailed Beast's Chakra with powerful strength and seals.
And this Chakra could be bestowed upon others.
Just like Negative Emotion Sensing, this was a characteristic of the Nine-Tails' Chakra.
If someone consumed the flesh and blood of the Nine-Tails, they could also possess Nine-Tails Chakra.
Gojo Yoru's current weakness was Chakra; he couldn't even use two Fire Release: Rasengans.
If he went to the battlefield, he definitely wouldn't be able to use trump cards like the Rasengan freely.
It was said that even Elite Jonin like Orochimaru-sensei couldn't use the Rasengan many times. In the future, even if Gojo Yoru became an adult, he might not be able to use the Big Ball Rasengan and Rasenshuriken he described.
Therefore, Uzumaki Kushina longed to help Gojo Yoru.
If she could share the Nine-Tails' Chakra with Gojo Yoru, he could not only use the Flying Thunder God Technique freely but also fully realize that Ninjutsu talent.
Gojo Yoru also didn't know Uzumaki Kushina's thoughts.
Seeing Uzumaki Kushina suddenly full of motivation to become stronger, he thought she remembered the positioning of Jinchuriki as strategic weapons and worried she would be sent to the battlefield, feeling pressured.
Raising his hand to rub Uzumaki Kushina's head, Gojo Yoru smiled: "Don't worry, Tomato-na. I won't give them a chance to force you onto the battlefield."
Uzumaki Kushina was slightly stunned. Realizing Gojo Yoru misunderstood, a warm current surged in her heart.
At the same time, her motivation to become stronger grew even greater.
However, on the surface, she teased: "Then you have to work hard to become stronger too, Foul-mouthed Yoru. Otherwise, if you need my power to protect you, don't blame me for mocking you."
"Save the sleep-talking for when you're dreaming, Tomato-na." Gojo Yoru smiled confidently. "You won't have that chance!"
"Hehe... we'll see."
Competing with each other, the two trained even harder without Orochimaru's supervision.
