Chapter 623 The worsening situation

Whoosh!
Just as the patrolling Konoha ninja took out the flare, a blue electric light struck.

boom!
The intense pain made the patrolling ninja's pupils dilate, and then he flew backwards like a cannonball.

"Quick battle, quick decision!" The Fourth Generation Ai ordered the Hidden Cloud Ninjas who were rushing over from behind him.

Although Konoha did not deploy ninja troops nearby due to the limit on the number of ninjas, there were still some ninjas guarding the border.

The first thing the Fourth Generation Ai and his men had to do was to eliminate Konoha's border defense forces in the northern part of the Fire Country, so that Konoha would lose its vision of the northern part of the Fire Country to a certain extent.

The Hidden Cloud Village never thought of relying on a ninja army of 1,200 people to defeat Konoha. They were just the vanguard, responsible for opening the situation.

Whizzing! !
The Hidden Cloud Ninjas led the way, sweeping the surroundings at high speed and eliminating all the Konoha ninjas within their sight.

There were fewer ninjas patrolling at night than during the day, and with the Kumogakure army clearing the area, there was no time to pass the news back to Konoha. The most they could do was to give reminders to nearby teams, but that was of no avail.

However, in this sensitive period of war, no news is actually also a kind of news, it's just that it is discovered a little later.

Several border patrol teams suddenly lost contact, which attracted Konoha's high attention. They immediately asked the elite team of the nearby ninja force to investigate.

"How can Orochimaru be a commander! Even when the Iwagakure troops were about to attack the northwest defense line, he didn't draw ninjas from his ninja unit, and as a result, they were attacked by the Kumogakure without a sound!"

Seeing the bad news coming from the front line, the relatively steady Mizutomon En couldn't help but speak a little more harshly.

Danzo Shimura had just died, and Konoha was invaded by the Hidden Cloud Clan. This would undoubtedly make other large ninja villages covet Konoha.

"The demise of the Root has caused us to lose a considerable amount of intelligence. If Danzo had not died with the Root in the Rain Country, perhaps Orochimaru would have been able to detect the actions of the Hidden Cloud Village." Utane Koharu is still upset about Danzo Shimura's private actions.

Just go ahead and die, and bring so much trouble to Konoha.

"The most important thing now is not to hold anyone responsible, but to solve the problem." Sarutobi Hiruzen emphasized, knocking on the table.

"There is an unknown number of enemy ninja troops in the country. This is not only a threat to the Land of Fire, but also a huge threat to Konoha."

There is no rule in ninja wars that the local area will not be affected. If there is a chance, Kumogakure would definitely be happy to engulf the entire Konoha in war.

"Why don't we let Jiraiya take the troops back to the north, and then have Orochimaru mobilize the troops to cooperate with Jiraiya. This way we should be able to wipe out the Kumogakure in the north." Utatane Koharu said.

Jiraiya's ninja troops are in the Land of Grass, northwest of the Land of Fire, while Orochimaru's ninja troops are in the Land of Hot Spring, northeast of the Land of Fire.

The two major ninja armies set out from their respective directions. Even if the Hidden Cloud Ninja Army has a ninja army of two thousand people, it may not be able to withstand it.

"We can't move Jiraiya." Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately objected.

"In recent years, Iwagakure and we have had many grievances. If Jiraiya's troops withdraw, Iwagakure is very likely to gather ninja troops again to launch a surprise attack." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.

Although Iwagakure has been losing in the war between them, it is not enough to cause serious damage to the five major ninja villages, and Iwagakure still poses a huge threat to Konoha.

"Let Minato or Muyue go, and then draw some ninjas from various troops and Konoha to assist." Mitomon En said after thinking for a while.

There are many ninjas in Konoha who are qualified to lead the ninja troops, and many senior and experienced jonin are qualified. But if you add a prerequisite that they must be able to destroy or repel the enemy ninja troops, then the range of options becomes smaller.

Basically, only the strongest people of a certain era are qualified.

"This problem must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the daimyo."

Although the Daimyo only led Konoha in name, as the official military force of the Fire Country, Konoha had the responsibility to defend the Fire Country. If the Fire Country was invaded by foreign enemies, it was Konoha's fault.

"Then it's Minato." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

When it comes to killing enemies on the battlefield, both Minato and Muyue can do it, but when it comes to developing a training team, Minato will definitely not be able to beat Muyue.

So while Minato could spare the time, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to send Mu Yue out.

……

Due to the death of Danzo Shimura, all major ninja villages are sending more spies to the Fire Country and are paying close attention to the situation in the Fire Country.

As a result, the information that the Hidden Cloud Ninja Force had broken through the Fire Country's defense line soon reached the office desks of the leaders of the major ninja villages.

Kirigakure Village, Mizukage Office.

The Third Mizukage put down the information, his lips slightly raised, revealing a smile from the heart.

"Sure enough, someone who couldn't stand the loneliness took action first."

The Third Mizukage wanted to defeat Konoha and regain the face he had lost before, and at the same time ask Konoha to return the ninja swords from the Mist Village.

But he didn't want to be the first to take the lead and was always waiting for a leader.

"Let Yagura come over." The Third Mizukage called out to the Anbu and ordered.

Although Yagura Karuta was defeated quite badly last time, the Third Mizukage believed that the main reason was not Yagura Karuta himself, but that the opponent's strength was beyond his expectations.

Before Mu Yue went to the Kirigakure battlefield, not only Kirigakure, but even Konoha, no one thought that Mu Yue had such strength.

"Mr. Sandaime!" After arriving at the Mizukage's office, Karutagi Yagura greeted the Third Mizukage with respect.

The Third Mizukage had always trained him as the Fourth Mizukage, and Karatachi Yagura had always kept it in mind, and they had a very good relationship.

"You will be in charge of the troops this time. Work hard and recover double what we have lost in Kirigakure." The Third Mizukage said with a smile.

Karatachi Yagura looked at the Third Mizukage with gratitude.

Thanks to the protection of the Third Mizukage, he did not suffer too much criticism for the last defeat, but Karuta Yagura still felt tormented by it in his heart.

Because he was a ninja with his own pride, and after suffering such a tragic defeat, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

"We will not let you and the village down. This time we will definitely defeat the Konoha ninja army!" said Karuta Yagura with a serious face.

Since that great defeat, Goju Yagura learned from his mistakes and not only learned more about military strategies and tactics, but also strengthened his own training.

This change is not enough to be considered a transformation, but it is definitely an improvement compared to before.

Faced with the same situation, he is confident that he can do better than before.

"It's good that you have this confidence." The Third Mizukage said with a smile.

Confidence is a very important thing. If you don’t even believe that you can do it, how can you make others believe that you can do it?

"Don't be anxious when you get to Wave Country. Wait for my order."

At present, the Kumogakure troops have only entered the Land of Fire, and there has not been a fierce clash with the Konoha ninja troops, so the Third Mizukage is not in a hurry to let Yagura launch an attack.

The situation in the ninja world is chaotic now. If given the chance, they may even choose not to attack the Land of Fire and instead attack another major country.

Revenge is important, but we must not forget the original intention of participating in the war. The Hidden Mist Village participated in the Ninja World War to share some of the interests on the continent, not for anything else.

...Sagakure Village, Kazekage's office.

"There hasn't been a major war with Konoha's ninja troops yet." Rasa put down the information in his hand with a look of regret.

He just wanted to see Konoha and Kumogakure fighting until blood flowed like a river, no matter whose blood it was.

The Cloud Village took advantage of the internal strife in the Sand Village and attacked the Sand Village with several heavy punches.

Even Sunagakure, one of the five major ninja villages with great power, became weak after experiencing the continuous blows of internal strife and Kumogakure invasion.

Therefore, Luo Sha was eager to see Yunyin in trouble.

As for Konoha, the reason is even simpler. The Wind Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom are separated by the River Kingdom, and the distance is too close.

Luo Sha doesn't want a neighbor who is stronger than Sunagakure. If he has a choice, he wants a neighbor who needs Sunagakure's help and is half dead.

A neighbor who can bring help to Sunagakure is a good neighbor.

……

Compared to the restless Kirigakure and the indifferent Sand Village, the approach of Iwagakure to the current situation in the ninja world is a different choice.

The Land of Rain, Six Paths City.

"In today's ninja world, I'm afraid there is no ninja who doesn't know Sosuke." Huang Tu looked at this increasingly prosperous town and couldn't help but feel emotional.

When he first came to Liudao City, it was not even as good as some remote villages, but now it has become a relatively prosperous town.

And Sosuke's growth is even more exaggerated than that of Rokudo Castle. When he first knew Sosuke, Sosuke was just a little-known ninja in Rain Country.

Now, Sosuke is well-known in the ninja world and has become a legendary ninja who surpasses the demigod Hanzo.

"As expected of him." When Huang Tu thought of Sosuke's personality and abilities, he felt that everything was normal.

Then Huang Tu withdrew his gaze and headed straight for the Ninja Clan's stronghold.

Huang Tu often communicated with the Shinobi Clan as the representative of Iwagakure. Most of the Shinobi Clan ninjas were familiar with Huang Tu and soon met Sosuke in the Shinobi Clan's reception room.

"We, Iwagakure, are deeply sorry for what happened to your clan. We didn't expect that Konoha is still so evil and still covets the Rain Country." Huang Tu said the words he had memorized in advance.

It was a bit difficult for him to come up with these words himself.

Seeing Huangtu saying he was sorry with a resolute expression, Mu Yue felt that Huangtu must have not done very well in the camouflage class when he was in the Ninja School.

"It's not necessarily that Konoha covets the Land of Rain. Maybe it's just that Danzo Shimura himself is prejudiced against me." Mu Yue replied with a smile.

He could guess the purpose of the Iwagakure Village just by thinking about it.

Who else could Sosuke be looking for to kill Danzo Shimura at this time? He simply wanted to make the Ninja Clan a pawn for Iwagakure to use against Konoha.

"Is there any inside story?" The Iwagakure Jonin who arrived at the scene with Huang Tu was startled and asked hurriedly.

Regarding the cause of Shimura Danzo's death, the most widely circulated rumor in the ninja world is that Konoha wanted to seize Sosuke's ninja clan inheritance, so it sent Shimura Danzo to assassinate Sosuke.

However, the ninjas from the big ninja villages don't really believe it. The five big ninja villages have a deep foundation and possess countless secret ninjutsu. It would be too cheap to make a move for a ninja clan inheritance whose content is unknown.

It is slightly more credible to say that Konoha is suppressing the Rain Country. After all, the Rain Country is indeed getting better and better.

"It's just my personal guess. After all, the incident happened suddenly. In fact, I haven't investigated it clearly yet." Mu Yue shook his head and replied.

He did know the inside story, but there was no way he could tell anyone.

The Iwagakure jonin thought that Sosuke was hiding something, but he didn't dare to ask more questions and just kept his mouth shut.

They may be able to control the Ninja Clan through various means, but they have no good way to deal with Sosuke.

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

If Sosuke were forced to disband the Ninja Clan and then go to the Land of Earth alone to cause trouble, Iwagakure would really have a headache for a while.

"The cooperation with the Ninja Clan has brought Iwagakure a lot of benefits, so we want to have a deeper cooperation with the Ninja Clan."

Although Huang Tu is not good at dealing with human relationships, he can see that Sosuke doesn't want to talk more about Shimura Danzo, so he uses another set of rhetoric.

"What kind of in-depth cooperation?" Mu Yue said with interest.

Even if you already know the content of the next conversation, you still have to pretend.

After all, Iwagakure also made a lot of efforts in the construction of Six Paths Castle and contributed a lot of commission money to the Ninja Clan, so we should give them some face.

"Expand the scale of ninja training, cooperate to establish a ninja school, and Iwagakure can also entrust part of the commission to the Ninja Clan to complete." Huang Tu said the conditions that Iwagakure could offer.

There are only so many ninjas in the Ninja Sect, so it is easy to detect if they want to make any big moves. Recently, the Rain Country Iwagakure discovered the Ninja Sect's plan to establish a ninja school.

"There should be more than that." Mu Yue said with a smile.

Establishing a ninja school was indeed a great pressure for the previous ninja clan, but this was only before Mu Yue took over the Rain Village.

After taking over the Rain Village, Mu Yue could have some Rain Ninjas come to receive training and then serve as teachers.

Huang Tu nodded and continued, "In order to protect the requirements of our partners, Iwagakure will send ninjas to protect the Ninja Clan and ensure the safety of the cooperation."

"Sosuke, what do you think of this kind of in-depth cooperation?" Huang Tu asked Sosuke.

Huang Tu felt that the conditions provided by his old father were already quite good, and he almost treated the Ninja Clan as a small Iwagakure Village.

"The conditions in Yanyin are very good." Mu Yue said with a smile.

"Then..." A smile appeared on Huang Tu's face, and he felt that Sosuke would agree.

Before Huang Tu could finish, Mu Yue interrupted him and said, "But I refuse."

If they really want to carry out this so-called deep cooperation with Iwagakure, then Iwagakure Village will be able to legally and reasonably deploy ninja troops in the Ninja Clan.

Not to mention that Mu Yue would not agree, even if Hanzang came, Hanzang would definitely not agree to this so-called cooperation.

The smile on Huang Tu's face froze. He didn't expect Sosuke to suddenly change his expression.

PS: My mental state has been average recently, probably because of lack of sleep.

Today I wanted to take advantage of the holiday to write more, but I have only written about 4,000 words so far.

I hope I can fall asleep before one o'clock today and adjust my schedule.
