Konoha's Destiny Twins

The obvious fact now is that Iwagakure used the heavy fog produced by this "Kirigakure Jutsu" to obscure his figure, evading Konoha's detection and successfully dispatched his team to infiltrate the Land of Fire.

A small team of Iwagakure ninjas have been discovered here...

What about other places?

And...what about last time?

Qingshui felt the crisis coming in an instant!

"Senior Fugaku, you said a few days ago last time...when was it specifically?"

"About four days ago, but the scale of the fog was far less huge than this time..." Fugaku pondered for a while, and then continued, "I asked your adjutant before coming here, and he said that he had not noticed anything unusual recently. "

"So I think that last time, Iwagakure was just testing our detection capabilities... trying to determine whether Kirigakure's technique could hide from the detection of our sensing ninjas."

"After confirming that we can indeed deceive the eyes of our sentry, this time is the actual infiltration operation."

After Fugaku said this, the situation became clearer, so Qingshui nodded and said: "I see..."

Unexpectedly, I had misunderstood the other party before, thinking that they were here to do some sneaky things...

He is quite self-deprecating about his villainy.

But soon, Qing Shui got rid of these distracting thoughts...

As for the clueless question of why there is someone in Iwagakure who can perform the "Kirigakure Jutsu", we will leave it to the future. There is another more important thing that needs to be found out right now.

Iwagakure will definitely not have only one team sneaking into the Land of Fire.

In this vast and quiet lake, if you want to search everything as quickly as possible, you must mobilize considerable strength.

It sounds like the team of more than 300 people seems to be quite large, but once they are dispersed along this long border, they appear to be very thin.

What's more, the enemy at this time may have penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Country of Fire...

"By the way, Fugaku-senpai, what you just said...what happened to the members of Iwagakure's demolition team?"

Qingshui has had relatively few interactions with Iwagakure, and is not very clear about Iwagakure's team formation habits and combat modes.

Fugaku explained patiently: "Before Iwagakure launches a general attack, he often sends some members of the demolition team to penetrate into the hostile forces. In order to cooperate with the attack of the large forces, they often destroy some fortifications and provide continuous harassment."

So the Iwagakure ninjas who have infiltrated into the Fire Country are probably already lurking, waiting for Iwagakure's order to continue setting off "fireworks" in the Fire Country?

This way of fighting is really a headache.

However, the advantages of war are accumulated bit by bit, so once Iwagakure's plan is successfully implemented, it will definitely establish some advantages for their general attack.

Moreover, it may only take a few hours for the enemy to complete their preparations, and after that, they will face a surprise attack from Iwagakure.

This is extremely bad news for Konoha.

"So we must find them out as quickly as possible!" Fugaku said solemnly.

Qingshui immediately opened the map, pointed to two places on the map and said: "I have set up a camp here in this valley, and here on the south bank of the Lake of Tranquility... Each of these two places has a camp."

In his conjecture, Iwagakure could only use these two places as targets for launching attacks. Among them, the camp at Lake of Tranquility is more likely to be attacked.

The purpose of establishing a temporary camp is to allow ninjas who take a break during shifts to have a safe place to rest and replenish their physical strength and supplies.

"Is the size of the camp bigger on this side of the lake?" Fugaku suddenly asked such a question.

According to common sense, the focus of defense should be on the valley side.

Because the ninja's march must be by land, not by water.

Once his whereabouts are discovered in the water, he will be a real target... Can I still expect the Iwagakure ninja to be good at water escape ninjutsu?

"The Lake of Tranquility is very large. I was originally worried that Iwagakure might use this place as a breakthrough point to enter the Land of Fire.

So we sent more manpower..."

But in this case, what if the enemy forces a surprise attack directly from the direction of the valley?

After all, the Lake of Tranquility is still some distance away from the valley. Once it encounters a strong attack and the support fails to follow, there is a high probability that the valley will be lost.

This question also appeared on one of the Uchiha ninjas, so he directly wondered: "But senior April, wouldn't it be too risky for you to do this...?"

"No... I'm usually in the valley."

What is revealed in the plain words is strong self-confidence.

Even if only one-third of the force is deployed in the valley, Qingshui is confident that the task can be done as well as another team with more people.

Fugaku couldn't help but look at Shimizu twice more, and secretly sighed: "Shunshin Shimizu" has really grown up...

Fortunately, Shisui was already the other party's student.

Then he put forward his own suggestion: "Then focus the search near the camp on this side of the lake, and at the same time send someone to notify our companions on the other side of the valley."

Qingshui was about to agree with Fugaku's idea, but Satomi suddenly said: "Senior, instead of spending more manpower searching for the enemy hiding in the dark... we might as well set up an ambush..."

"What do you mean? Tell me specifically."

"Now Iwagakure has crossed the Lake of Tranquility and arrived to the south, but we don't know their size or their specific location."

"If we put considerable energy into finding the enemy, if Iwagakure's large army launches a general attack during this period, even if we have certain preparations, our strength will be dispersed..."

This is easy to understand. If you follow Fugaku's previous intention, you must find the Iwagakure ninja who has sneaked into the Land of Fire. If you can find it quickly, the hidden danger will indeed be eliminated...

But what if it’s not found?

In the unlikely event that they are not found, the enemy completes preparations and launches a general attack...

Konoha is still struggling to find traces of the enemy...

Konoha, whose strength has been dispersed, will be at a certain disadvantage.

"So it's better to concentrate all our efforts and set up ambushes in two camps. And since we know that there are members of the demolition team in Iwagakure's team, which will pose a great threat to the camp... then we will simply abandon the camp."

"Use a camp that will inevitably be destroyed as bait to lure all the enemies to show up, and then seek opportunities to annihilate them."

At first glance, it seems to make sense.

This method seems to be quite feasible.

"I can't tell... you have a good brain." Qing Shui praised him sincerely.

It's just that this kind of praise is not pleasant.

Especially a girl.

"Senior, do you mean that I looked stupid before?"

"Ahem...how could that happen?"

Even if you really think so, you absolutely cannot admit it at this time!

"Haha... This is a good idea." Fugaku also agreed, "I thought this little girl from the Hyuga family was..."

What is it?

Qingshui looked at Fugaku's expression that was hesitant to speak...

Seems difficult?

Hey, hey, hey, this is wrong!

In fact, it wasn't just Fugaku who bumped into the two who thought of more. The frequent private contacts between Shimizu and Satomi had already aroused the vigilance of some "careful people".

There have long been rumors about the 17th Legion led by Shimizu: Their Legion Commander, "Shunshin Shimizu" is having a heated conversation with a girl from the Hinata family!

Combined with the incident in Konoha Hospital...

If the person concerned continues to deny "no", "no", "nonsense"...

Who believes it?
