Ninja World: I Have a Life Simulator

Chapter 119: A Solo Raid on the Iwa-nin Camp – A Reflection of Obito?



Although the concept of guerrilla warfare had been proposed, Akira Uchiha understood that the wars of his previous life were different from those in the shinobi world. Therefore, he acknowledged the necessity of the two conditions that Nara Shikaku had outlined.

First, you have to avoid getting caught to engage in guerrilla warfare. If you're caught by the Iwa-nin after just a few skirmishes, then how can you continue with guerrilla tactics?

Second, you need to cause enough of a commotion to effectively harass the enemy. If you can't create enough chaos, then how can you even start?

These are the essential conditions for guerrilla warfare in the shinobi world, which make it more challenging than in reality, where individual combat strength is crucial. However, it's also easier in some ways; if you're strong enough, one person might be enough.

In reality, if one person tried to harass an entire army with just a gun, they wouldn't cause much of a stir. But in the shinobi world, it's different. Because individual strength matters so much, even one person can create a massive disturbance.

After some thought, Akira Uchiha concluded that he was the best person for the job.

"You want to go? Alone?" Everyone turned to look at him when Akira volunteered.

No matter how you looked at it, facing thousands of ninjas alone was too dangerous. Take the Third Raikage, for example. He was a renowned shinobi, one of the best among the Kage, but in the end, he was overwhelmed and killed after being surrounded by tens of thousands of ninjas.

"Don't worry. First, I'm not going to directly fight over two thousand Iwa-nin; I'm just going to harass them," Akira explained. "Second, as for the first point Shikaku mentioned, about not getting caught-pardon my arrogance, but while my overall strength might rank somewhere in the top ten or even top twenty in the shinobi world, in terms of Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique), I'm at least in the top few."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"As for the second point, about creating a commotion, is there anything better suited for that than Lightning Release and Fire Release? The Uchiha are naturally skilled in controlling fire, and I also have dual affinities for lightning and fire."

"Finally, since I'm the one who proposed this strategy, I naturally know best how to implement it," Akira concluded, giving his reasons for taking on the mission himself. His reasons made sense, and everyone present silently nodded in agreement.

Indeed, Lightning and Fire Release are perfect for creating a commotion.

Given that Akira trained under Shisui, his Shunshin no Jutsu is indeed unparalleled in the shinobi world. He's even better suited for this mission than Jiraiya.

"Alright, kid, just be careful. It's a shame that no one can use Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique; otherwise..." Jiraiya was the first to nod in agreement, but then he sighed with regret.

The Ino-Shika-Chō trio nodded in agreement as well.

Indeed, if they had the Flying Thunder God Technique, it would be the perfect tool for guerrilla warfare. It would allow them to attack and retreat at will, making it impossible for the enemy to catch them.

Akira smiled slightly but didn't say anything more. He looked up at the sky; it was around nine o'clock in the evening-still early, no need to rush.

Akira began conserving his energy, waiting for the right moment. Meanwhile, Jiraiya and the others also made their preparations. Even if they couldn't directly help, they could follow Shikaku's plan to ambush and eliminate small groups of Iwa-nin if Akira managed to lure them out.

Around the middle of the night, at approximately one o'clock, Akira made his move.

With the power of a Kage-level shinobi and being alone, infiltrating Iwa's defenses was relatively simple.

Thanks to countless simulations, equating to hundreds of years of experience, Akira had developed a keen understanding of various situations. He could easily detect the barriers covering the defense structures.

"This is the benefit of being born in Konoha. As the leading nation among the Five Great Shinobi Countries, Konoha isn't just powerful and full of talent; it also excels in jutsu research, far surpassing the other villages."

"For example, Sunagakure focuses on Wind Release and puppetry."

"Kirigakure emphasizes Water Release and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen."

"Iwagakure specializes in Earth Release."

"And Kumogakure is known for its Lightning Release."

"But the Land of Fire? We excel in Wind, Fire, Water, Lightning, Earth, sealing techniques, top-tier summoning contracts, plus the kekkei genkai and secret techniques of various clans..."

"We're proficient in everything, even mastering them all. This is why Konoha can utterly dominate the other villages."

"You know it, I know it, and I can even find the best way to counter you. That's Konoha's strength." Akira thought to himself as he quietly infiltrated the Iwa camp without triggering the barriers.

"Enemy attack!" However, just as Akira infiltrated, someone shouted.

Immediately, seven or eight Iwa-nin, all jōnin, moved toward Akira's location.

"Discovered so quickly?" Akira mused. No wonder the simulator indicated that the battle dragged on for over ten days. This truly is an elite Iwa unit.

"It seems there's someone with exceptional sensory abilities among them."

Truth be told, Akira was slightly surprised that he had been discovered before he even had a chance to create any chaos. But since guerrilla warfare was about harassment, he didn't mind

being noticed.

Only seven or eight jōnin coming at me? Akira thought, slightly disappointed. I could use a bit more attention; the bigger the commotion, the better.

With that in mind, Akira didn't waste any more time. The moment he was spotted, he activated his Shunshin no Jutsu, the signature technique of his mentor, Shisui.

The three tomoe in Akira's Sharingan spun, and suddenly, a dozen shadowy clones appeared. Instead of facing the approaching Iwa-nin, the clones exploded in all directions, scattering

rapidly.

One Iwa-nin slashed at one of the clones with his sword, but it passed right through Akira's

body.

"He's a mirage!" the jonin shouted.

On the other side, another kunai flew toward one of Akira's clones, only to pass through as

well.

"This one's also an illusion!"

"Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!" Another Iwa-nin attempted to trap Akira with an Earth Release technique, but Akira simply ran over the swamp without leaving a single

footprint.

"This one's also an illusion. That's Shisui's Shunshin no Jutsu... no, wait, it's Uchiha Akira!" The jōnin who had used the Swamp of the Underworld recognized Shisui's technique, then noticed Akira's Sharingan and shouted in realization.

However, just as he finished speaking, one of Akira's clones turned its head, the three tomoe spinning in its Sharingan. The jōnin felt a chill down his spine as if he were being hunted by a

predator.

Akira vanished in a flash and reappeared in front of the jōnin.

"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!" Panicked, the Iwa-nin quickly formed hand seals and slammed his hands on the ground, raising a thick stone wall in front of him.

But with a burst of lightning, the stone wall was shattered by Akira's Chidori. The lightning- charged hand pierced right through the Iwa-nin's body.

Not only did Akira's Kage-level chakra utterly overwhelm the jōnin, but the Chidori, an S- rank Lightning Release technique, was also naturally superior to Earth Release. The stone

wall crumbled like paper before Akira.

"You knew too much," Akira said coldly as he finished off the jōnin.

"Kill him!" Seeing one of their own taken down in an instant, the remaining Iwa-nin rushed

toward Akira, shouting.

But just as two or three of them reached him and launched their attacks, their strikes passed through Akira's body once again.

"So this is the famed Shunshin no Jutsu?" The Iwa-nin finally experienced firsthand the

power of the technique.

With a dozen shadowy clones, it was impossible to tell which were real and which were

illusions. When they attacked, their target was an illusion; when they were attacked, they

became solid. How could anyone fight against that?

"Everyone, his attacks are solid when he strikes! That's your chance to hit him!" one of the Iwa-nin shouted, trying to guide his comrades.

Why does this suddenly make me feel like Obito? Akira thought, amused by the situation. Whenever Obito attacked with his Kamui, others would also try to use this method to counter

him.

Shaking off the odd feeling, Akira reminded himself that, unlike Obito, he wasn't here to kill anyone just to cause chaos.

After taking down the first jōnin, Akira had no intention of engaging the Iwa-nin any further.

Every attack passed through Akira as he let his shadow clones scatter. Once in position, Akira swapped places with one of his clones and quickly formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

When it came to causing a commotion, Fire Release was perfect. It was as if Akira only knew this one jutsu, as he unleashed one Great Fireball after another from various locations.

In the dead of night, the explosive display of Fire Release jolted the entire Iwa defense force

into action.
