Reborn in Naruto As Madara's Grandson

The war is entirely different from what I expected. There is no direct confrontation between two sides unless one side has an absolute advantage over others.

Both sides are using guerilla warfare tactics to test each other's strength. The forest near the mountains has become the battle zone for the war. The captain further divided the battalion in squads with each squad having thirty members.

Shisui and I are in squad number Nine. We are deployed with a scouting unit together with some Hyugas and Inuzukas. The Captain assigned us to this squad as he doubts our combat capabilities. I had no problem with the squad as I want to slowly experience the intricacies of the war. The war will help me cultivate my skills in tracking and intel gathering.

This war is an opportunity for me. There will be tons of Kekkai Genkai users during this war and I can use this as a chance to increase Jutsus in my arsenal and learn more Kekkai Genkais. I am capable of combining elements but watching a user performing the Kekkai Genkai or figuring it out yourself, the choice is obvious.

The ability to track down enemies and differentiate between decoys and the real clue is quite hard than I thought it out to be. I activated my Sharingan and asked Shisui to do the same as we learned from the Tracker-nins.

I am amazed by their deductions and perception as I start to absorb knowledge like a sponge. Our team is doing pretty well on the scouting missions. The Hyuga's Byakugan helped a lot in avoiding the enemies who lied in ambush ahead. My Sharingan helped me see even further than Hyuga as I can even see infrared and other EM waves.

When the Hyugas ran out of Chakra, we decide to return to camp. On our way, a confrontation finally happened. I have already warned my team about their presence. We met with a combat-oriented team of Kumo. There are around twenty-five ninjas in the enemy team.

'Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique'

I made a few hand signs and spewed out a large fireball. I have to gain the advantage of a pre-emptive strike. The 'Sin seal' on my hand starts to absorb my Chakra rapidly.

After the previous use of 'Sin seal', its rate of Chakra absorption increased by two-fold. But I have found a way to counter that.

'Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu'

I form four shadow clones as I continue to fight them. Yes, Shadow clone distributes my Chakra through clones and the Clone's Chakra is still a part of my body.

'Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu'

One of the enemy ninjas uses water style to counter my fireball.

'Swish…swish'

I appear behind an enemy ninja as I slit his throat.

'Poof'

The user of the Fireball technique turns out to be my Shadow clone. We were surrounded by multiple enemy teams ahead and I could only choose this team to fight as they had the least number of ninjas.

Blood dripped from Kumo ninjas neck as he laid dead on the ground. I have targeted one of their tracking-nin. The confrontation finally began. A confrontation usually starts with multiple jutsus from both sides followed by hand to hand combat or taijutsu when they ran out of Chakra.

'Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm'

One of the Hyuga uses his gentle fist art in conjugation with Byakugan to attack the enemies.

'Genjutsu: Sharingan'

Both Shisui and I activate our Sharingan as we cast a genjutsu on them. This presents a huge opportunity for our team as we are able to slay five more enemies before the Genjutsu is dispelled. This genjutsu was used against the entire enemy squad rather than a person, so it was less effective.

'My Genjutsu Techniques are falling behind. I have to train them during the war with enemies as my prey.'

Shisui draws out his Tanto as he starts to dash around the enemies,

'Body Flicker Technique: Afterimage Clone'

Multiple copies of Shisui appears as they surround enemies. With his fast speed, Shisui can move between his afterimages and deliver attacks from each of them, thus each of them having mass behind them. He moves to another afterimage if any enemy attacks him allowing his opponent to phase through his afterimage.

'Kenjutsu Style: Moonlight Slash'

Shisui starts to attack them one after another. There is no hesitation in his moves as he fluidly executes one move after another.

Now, it is my turn to attack them. All of my shadow clones start to make hand seals,

'Fire Style: Water Style: Lightning Style: Wind Style: Massive Combo Jutsu'

All of my clones spew out respective elements as they clash together to create a large explosion engulfing most of the enemies.

The surviving enemies are executed by my team as we finished them.

"Let's retreat to camp. This fight has caused quite the commotion, we can't risk being surrounded by the enemies." The Hyuga advices as we follow him.

-----------------

A day passed since that incident.

After that fight, Izuna gets promoted to combat squad One. Shisui is transferred to Squad three. The next day,

Scouts gathered the latest intel as they presented a scroll to Captain. The Captain quickly skimmed through the intel as he frowned. He quickly ordered one of Jounins,

"Quickly send this information to Hokage-sama and ask for aid from him. We can't delay this news."

The Jounin immediately went to the logistics and information squad as he relayed the message. A Yamanaka member with a strange device on his head sat near one of the Sensing Technique Sphere'.

The Jounin approaches the Yamanaka clan member as he speaks,

"Inobu-san, please pass this important message to Hokage-sama immediately. We need assistance to deal with the new enemy. Sakumo-san is occupied in a battle against Third Raikage and is unable to help us deal with the intruders."

Inobu Yamanaka nods his head as he transfers the intel to headquarters in Konoha. The Yamanakas uses a 'Hijutsu' of their clan to perform a secret jutsu,

'Mind Body Transmission Technique'

This technique allows them to telepathically connect with another person to send their memories to another person located far away. This technique allows Konoha to have the latest intel on the battlefield every moment. Yamanaka Clan is respected throughout the Village just because of this technique.

In Konoha, inside a building near Hokage's office, a bunch of people monitors the situation of the battlefield through intel sent by various logistics units present near the battlefield. Shikaku roams around the room as he contemplates and relays orders to various units through the help of Inoichi Yamanaka.

Suddenly, Inoichi receives an important message as calls Shikaku.

"Shikaku, this is a very important message from Battalion one of Shinobi Unit Four deployed on Kumo Front."

Shikaku immediately approaches Inoichi as Inoichi places his hand on Shikaku's head to relay the information. Shikaku has a grave expression after he heard the intel.

"Try to hold them back for a few hours, I will immediately relay this information to Hokage-sama. Help will soon be on its way."

Shikaku hurriedly left the room as he had a pensive expression on his face. He knocks on Hokage's office and Hiruzen allows him in.

"Hokage-sama, this is an emergency. We need quick aid at Kumo battlefront."

Shikaku relayed the entire intel to Hiruzen. Hiruzen frowned as he starts to contemplate,

"Shikaku, inform him about this matter. I am sure he will be able to turn the situation around. But before that report the current situation at Iwa borders to me."

Shikaku reports the intel as he returns to headquarters with Hokage's message.

-----------------------

In the meantime, at Kumo battlefront,

The Captain hears the plan relayed by Shikaku as he sighs in relief. Seems like we just have to hold them for a while.

"Gather Squad One and Two, I have important orders for them."

'The situation is not looking good. Help will arrive in a few hours, we have to just hold them back for a while. Some sacrifices have to be made if we want to prevent a disaster to befall on Land of Fire.'

Soon Squad One and Squad Two gathers near Captain's camp as he starts to address them.

"A team of Kumo ninjas successfully infiltrated the Land of Fire borders and are approaching the camp. The number of Shinobis is still unknown but the enemy is quite strong as they have annihilated one of our squad in a matter of minutes."

The Captain read the intel aloud in front of the Squads as he orders,

"We can't allow the enemy team to infiltrate in Land of Fire and possibly assassinate the Daimyo. To cope with them, two of our strongest squads will join hands and confront them. You just have to hold them back for a while as help is on its way."

Both squads quickly dash in direction of enemies. While running Izuna wonders about the identity of enemies who infiltrated the borders.
