Shadow Stream of Leaf

The third Hokage actually agreed to his seemingly unreliable "battle plan"? Under normal circumstances, shouldn't he blame himself for not being whimsical, doing his job well with peace of mind, and taking more medicine for nothing?

...Oh, Hanyu is also somewhat self-aware about his feelings.

When Hanyu submitted his next battle plan to Konoha, he quickly got feedback from the Third Hokage, and the content of the feedback was a bit unexpected—the Third Hokage agreed to his proposal happily. plan.

What about the intermediate process?

Shouldn't it be Hokage's opposition on the spot and painstaking persuasion, and Hanyu's serious wrangling and careful sophistry, and after such repeated back-and-forth, the plan can be approved?

Has the Third Hokage become more aggressive, or has he become more trusting of Hanyu?

Both seem unlikely.

However, the approval of the Third Hokage is by no means perfunctory, because Hanyu has already been notified that the daimyo's declaring war team will soon pass through the eastern front that he has mastered... Everything is true, to the extent that Hanyu is not used to it .

The fundamental reason is actually about the issue of successors. The third Hokage is quite "lonely".

The two advisors are completely neutral, and Shimura Danzo, the next Hokage candidate, must not be able to pee in the same pot with the third generation...even they have reached the point where they have to pee farther than anyone else.

Only Hanyu can give enough support to the third Hokage.

However, Hanyu himself did not think too deeply about the reasons for the transformation of the third generation of Hokage. In any case, it is a good thing that the plan can be recognized. He just focused on the current situation and considered for a while whether to send a team of ninjas as guards for the messengers.

However, this idea just passed his mind, and he vetoed it.

Originally, as an ordinary emissary team, it was very safe in theory. Even the Kirigakure ninja who hated Konoha deeply could not simply vent their anger on such simple and polite ordinary people.

That would be too low, and it would lose the bearing of a big country.

But if a ninja guard team is sent to act together with them, it will be a different matter. At that time, Kirigakure may forget the new and old grudges together.

So each of them does their own work without interfering with each other. This is the greatest protection for the emissary team... At best, the front line will prepare a ship for the emissaries to cross the sea and meet their identities.

Then let them row hard on their own.

The purpose of sending this kind of envoy is nothing more than one sentence, which is more popular, that is...

"Brother Ye is very angry, and the consequences will be serious."

If under such a serious statement, Kirigakure is still not afraid of Konoha's intimidation, and still prepares for the next war at his own pace...

That would be great.

Kirigakure probably didn't expect the boldness of Hanyu's plan. People have inertial thinking, who would have thought that after being attacked once, there would be a second raid immediately?

There are only two things Hanyu has to do now, first, stabilize the situation on the front line; second, wait for news from Uchiha Ozan.

Soon, the envoys from the Land of Fire passed through the Eastern Front, went to the Land of Water, and conveyed Konoha's determination to the war.

Unsurprisingly, Kirigakure did not give in. Although the large-scale offensive was not ready yet, the sporadic battles between the reconnaissance forces became more frequent after the declaration of war... The difference is that before This kind of battle took place on the land of the Fire Nation, but now the battlefield of the small-scale battle has been transferred to the sea.

The new impact brought by the change of the venue to the battle is... whoever has more water can live longer and longer.

…………

In any case, the situation on the Eastern Front has now become the very "stable" state that the three Hokages are most looking forward to seeing. As the sporadic battles between Konoha and Kirigakure that do not hinder the overall situation continue, time gradually A month has passed.

Uchiha, who was in Kirigakure, did not send any important news back during this period, but he must have not been exposed, otherwise Hanyu would have received the news—he put a slug on the other party.

It is not incomprehensible that Uchiha Ozan can lurk in Kirigakure... Theoretically speaking, Kirigakure is a place related to Uchiha, let alone hiding for a few months, it is possible to hide for a few years .

And in this seemingly peaceful situation, one day Hanyu suddenly received a piece of information gathered by his subordinates - they discovered a ninja with strange movements in the camp, and deeply suspected that the other party was a spy of Kirigakure.

And it should be the kind of spy who has just been transformed, because that ninja's technology is very inadequate.

Once the work is over, he immediately withdraws from the work site, or hides in his tent without knowing what he is doing, or peeps at the headquarters from time to time, and that "spy" is particularly concerned about the activities of the commander, Hanyu.

Although there is nothing suspicious about the origin of the spy, and theoretically there is no chance of contacting Kirigakure, this kind of movement is too suspicious.

After the camp's intelligence department discovered this situation, they did not act rashly. They directly reported the information to Hanyu and left the matter to him to decide.

Hanyu thinks this is nothing strange - since he can send spies to Kirigakure, then Kirigakure can also send spies to Konoha, isn't that what wars between ninjas are all about?

Fortunately, the spy on his side was discovered in time, which means that the other party has no chance to cause major leaks and damage.

After thinking about it, Hanyu decided not to startle the enemy for the time being, and then he personally went to see the spy's situation—maybe it could be used as a countermeasure, and it is very common to use the enemy's spy to send wrong information to the enemy. practice.

Without alarming anyone, he sneaked into the spy's tent while the other party was on a mission.

The tent is very life-like, and has the unique sense of chaos of the pre-war camp. After entering the tent, Hanyu immediately got two judgments: either the opponent is not capable of anti-reconnaissance at all. A rookie, or the other party is a particularly skilled master.

However, if the other party was a very skilled spy, how could he be easily spotted?

Hanyu first wrote down the location of all the items, and then searched carefully in the tent.

Most of them are very normal personal items. Is this person really a spy? Could it be a mistake? When Hanyu was thinking this way, he found a notebook in the gap between a simple wooden bed and the wall.

hidden here? Or fell into the gap?

Hanyu tried his best not to touch any extra items, he stood where he was, and then opened the notebook.

"The adult told me that some things can only be observed through human eyes, and other intelligent species, no matter how intelligent, are sometimes unreliable, so I was 'activated'..."

It's a little irritating that the other party blew himself up in the first sentence on the first page.

"Master Hanyu is a serious and gentle person. After a little observation, I came to such a conclusion that I don't think there is any need for him to keep an eye on him..."

"..."

"I take back my previous judgment. Master Hanyu is not serious, even a little...that word is not easy to say. In short, he pretends to be serious about his work most of the time, but in fact he is just in a daze, or supervising the work of other ninjas.

He is very casual in life, even a little unkempt, sometimes he speaks very concisely, and sometimes he doesn't know what he is expressing at all. Maybe people who are close enough can understand his words.

...

I feel that Master Hanyu is a person who needs to be taken care of very much, otherwise he would not be able to maintain the...'prestige' as the commander-in-chief.

...

Undoubtedly, Lord Uzumaki Ziko, who is in charge of more specific affairs, is supporting him, busy with work and taking care of the commander's private affairs... To be honest, the commander is actually a role that does not need to exist, he just adds Substantial second-in-command workload.

They were very familiar with each other, their manners were tacit understanding, and their conversation was easy, but otherwise there was nothing special.

...

I feel that my classified mission is meaningless, but it may also be because my observation is not detailed and secret enough, maybe I should increase the time for night activities.

But... is it better to be able to find something, or not to be able to find anything? I'm a little lost. "

Seeing this, Hanyu closed his notebook, tilted his whole body backwards, and lay down on the simple wooden bed of "Spy".

There is no need to continue reading, and...

"Just pretend you didn't see it."

It was a complete waste of effort.

The other party was indeed a spy, and a female spy at that, but Hanyu stuffed the "secret information" collected by the spy back to its original location, and then decided to pretend that he didn't know anything.

All of them are completely unreliable, whether it is spies, the anti-espionage system at the Konoha Front, or the commander Hanyu himself.

after all……

In the frontline camps, only a small number of people can enjoy this relatively private and relaxed single living space.

Or someone with a relatively high status like Hanyu.

Either... a special unit like a medical ninja.
