Under the Bamboo Forest of Naruto

On the other side, after using a bamboo stem to absorb most of the chakra from the prisoner, Ryūyu successfully cast an illusion on the enemy while he was weak.

"Tell me! Where are you ninjas from?"

Looking at the confused dark-skinned assassin in front of him, Liu Yu asked coldly. After all, this was an assassination attempt on a Daimyo of the Land of Fire. If he were not careful, it would trigger a new ninja war.

"Cloud...Yunyin Village."

The assassin in the illusion answered Liuyu's interrogation intermittently.

"It's actually Yunyin Village. It's been such a troubled time!"

Hearing the assassin's answer, Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh. As the only ninja village currently at war with Konoha, Cloud Hidden Village launched an assassination operation against the Fire Country's daimyo at this time. It is almost foreseeable that a new war is about to begin.

break out.

After knowing the identity of the enemy, Liu Yu stopped asking questions and handed it over to the samurai who was cleaning the battlefield. All that was left was to wait and wait for the order from above. Fight, fight, and all.

It's a word from a top boss.

.......

That night, a figure took advantage of the darkness to leave the City of Fire and headed towards the confrontation zone in the Moon Country.

...

In the forest, a black shadow was advancing rapidly. The black shadow was running at such a speed that it startled the birds in the forest. Soon after, the black shadow stopped. Looking at the camp in front of him, Liu Yu said softly: "We are finally here!"

After the assassination incident, the Daimyo quickly received the information that the assassin was sent by Kumogakure Village. Regarding the assassination, the Daimyo seemed very angry and asked Namikaze Minato, who was the Hokage, to launch a revenge operation, preferably by sending elite troops.

Ninjas went to the capital of the Kingdom of Thunder to assassinate the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder.

As for whether they can successfully kill the famous names of the Kingdom of Thunder, that is not important at all. What is important is to let the guys from the Kingdom of Thunder know the anger of the Kingdom of Fire.

Namikaze Minato strongly opposed the decision made by the daimyo in anger. On the surface, Konoha won the Third Ninja War and was the biggest winner in the Third Ninja War. But as the head of Konoha,

Namikaze Minato naturally knew that Konoha was in its weakest state right now.

After successive fierce battles between Konoha and Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Kusagakure, and Kirigakure, the number of ninjas in the village has dropped to a critical point. Even in the later stages of the war, in order to make up for the lack of frontline combat power, Konoha senior officials turned a blind eye.

With a blind eye, a large number of children who should be studying in ninja schools were sent to the battlefield.

The days of peace have not passed long now, and the new generation of ninja in the village has not yet been trained, and Konoha is simply unable to fight a new war.

Cloud Hidden Village is a martial arts ninja village that respects swordsmanship and ninja physical skills. Among the five major ninja villages, the ninja military strength is second only to Konoha. In all the ninja world wars, it has been Konoha's formidable opponent.

The second Hokage Senju Tobirama also died at the hands of Kumogakure's Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

Kumogakure Village as a whole is aggressive. Even in peacetime, it will launch predatory attacks on various small ninja villages and families for unique forbidden techniques. The war consciousness in the village is very strong. On the other hand, Kumogakure Village as a whole seems to be

They are very united. Among the five major ninja villages, the rebel ninja in Yunyin Village is the rarest.

In addition to the greater losses in the battle with Iwagakure, Kumogakure Village has relatively intact power. In a sense, now that the war breaks out, Kumogakure Village has an advantage over Konoha. This is why Kumogakure Village has an advantage over Konoha.

An important reason why the village insists on not signing a peace agreement with Konoha.

It was precisely because of this knowledge that Namikaze Minato denied the daimyo's request to launch a new round of attacks on Kumogakure in the Moon Country, as well as the assassination operation that was very likely to intensify the conflict between the two parties.

Konoha seems extremely weak now, and it really cannot withstand the torment of a new war. But this matter cannot be let go. After all, the Fire Country is the winner of the Ninja World War, and it is naturally impossible for Kumogakure Village to let go.

Such bullying.

Therefore, after a short discussion, Minato Namikaze sent Rikuha to the front line first to deal with the possible actions of Kumogakure ninjas in the Moon Country area. At the same time, Rikuha also brought Minato Namikaze's secret letter to Ken Shimura.

...

When he heard the news that Liu Yu had arrived, Shimura Ken seemed very excited. Before Liu Yu could settle down, Shimura Ken ran over in a hurry. Looking at Shimura Ken with red eyes, Liu Yu couldn't help but be stunned, what's wrong with this man?

Have you become so haggard?

"Come on, come on! Come this way, let's talk slowly."

Shimura Ken couldn't help but pull Liu Yu to the tent for discussion, and Liu Yu didn't resist. She knew that Shimura Ken must have encountered something extremely troublesome now.

As soon as he entered the meeting tent, Liu Yu saw a dozen ninjas discussing something fiercely. These people should be the Konoha jounin on the front line of Moon Country. Seeing Liu Yu walk in, it seemed extremely noisy before.

The Konoha jounin instantly fell silent.

"After Lord Hokage defeated the Abby team of Kumo Hidden Village and the death of the third Raikage, Kumo Hidden Village withdrew its main force to the Kingdom of Thunder. In order to deal with opponents on other fronts, Konoha also changed its main force.

They were sent to other fronts. After that, the number of ninjas that both Konoha and Kumogakure faced off in the Moon Country remained at around a thousand."

While walking, Shimura Ken explained the current situation to Liu Yu. Liu Yu also nodded slightly, indicating that she knew all this.

"During this period of confrontation, the two sides maintained a tacit peace. Although the two sides did not sign a peace agreement, they would not actively launch attacks on each other. Both sides only conducted routine patrols within their respective control areas, even occasionally.

If they meet, they will avoid each other."

"But just a few days ago, the routine patrol team we sent was suddenly attacked by Kumogakure ninjas. There were a total of thirty-two people in the eight patrol teams, but only two of them escaped with injuries."

Speaking of this, a trace of anger flashed in Shimura Ken's eyes.

"Later, in order to investigate the situation clearly, we sent out several reconnaissance teams, but Yunyin Village's protection measures were very good. We suffered a lot of casualties, and we only received reinforcements sent by Yunyin Village and arrived at the Moon.

This kind of information is from the front line of the country. However, it is not clear how many ninjas there are in the reinforcements of Kumogakure Village, and where the reinforcements of Kumogakure are distributed and stationed."

As he spoke, Shimura Ken cleared away the debris on the table, then spread out a map, pointing while continuing:

"This! This! And this! These are the places where our patrol team was attacked by Kumogakure ninjas. Because of Kumogakure's combat power advantage, our patrol warning belt has now been moved back a lot!"

Having said this, all the Jounin of Konoha in the camp, including Ken Shimura, turned their attention to Ryūha. They were worried about not being able to obtain information about Kumo Hidden Village, so they sent a reclusive Jounin who was good at investigation.

.

"I see!"

Looking at the expectant looks of everyone, Ryūha nodded cautiously and said, Namikaze Minato sent him to the front line of Moon Country to make arrangements to detect enemy intelligence.

Although it is still unclear how many reinforcements Kumogakure Village has sent, it is certain that at this moment on the front line of Moon Country, Konoha's side is already at an absolute disadvantage in terms of combat power.

If preparations are not made in advance, Yunyin Village may break through the Moon Country's defense line and invade the Fire Country itself.
