Chapter Seventy-Eight: Yun Yin Makes a Decision
Konoha 47 years, April, early spring.
The war between Konoha and Yunyin has been going on for a year, and the two sides are in a stalemate between victory and defeat in the territory of Yuno Kuni.
Konoha's tenacity is beyond everyone's imagination, but to be able to force Konoha into such a situation, Yunyin's power should not be underestimated.
However, Yun Yin's initial large-scale attack did bring great trouble to the Fire Country and Konoha, but as the strong period passed, Konoha sent Yellow Flash to the battlefield to support, and the battle between Yun Yin and Konoha seemed to be quite declining.
Although in terms of materials, Yun Yin used the transmission method of space-time ninjutsu, and he was not too worried about the sneak attack of the yellow flash, but the yellow flash was able to make a name for himself on the Iwain battlefield, and the two battles ended the oppression of Konoha by Iwain with absolute strength, and the pressure brought to Yun Yin was not only reflected in the sneak attack materials.
Previously, in order to harass the border of the Fire Country and let Konoha disperse his forces, Yun Yin adopted a combat strategy in the form of a squad to put pressure on the Fire Country from various sides.
This strategy is theoretically intact, and if used correctly, it can put pressure on Konoha and allow Yunyin to regain the upper hand.
However, this strategy was simply broken by the yellow flash.
The many elite ninja teams they sent over mysteriously disappeared from the realm of the Fire Nation in less than half a month.
And that time, it was also the moment when the yellow flash disappeared from the frontal battlefield, and it was clear who did it.
The ninjas of the Hyuga clan determined the direction and hiding location of the Yunyin ninja team, and then solved it by the yellow flash, not only did Yunyin not get any benefits, but instead lost a lot of elite ninjas for no reason, and there was a feeling of lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.
It is said that the four generations of Thunder Shadow were furious in the camp because of this incident, and naturally resented the yellow flash, and the hatred for the white eyes of the Hyuga clan rose to a higher level.
Maybe because of the mention of Hinata, it reminds him of the tricky white-eyed woman he met on the battlefield of Iwain two years ago.
Every time Yun Yin's good deeds are destroyed, it seems to be related to white eyes.
In the Iwakuin battlefield, Yunyin was undoubtedly the dominant side, but because Hinata Ayane blocked the way, he ruined Yunyin's attack plan many times.
The same is true now, the Hyuga ninja provided Yellow Flash with an unmistakable route, and in just half a month, the Cloud Hidden Elite Team that infiltrated the Fire Nation was completely wiped out.
Of course, this is due to the strength of the yellow flash, but if it weren't for the white eyes of the Hyuga clan, it would definitely not be so simple for Konoha to uproot these Yunyin elite squads.
After all, in order to put pressure on Konoha from the side, the elite team that infiltrated the Fire Country were all elites selected from their own shadow guards and the shadows, and they lost so much at once, and the four generations of Thunder Shadow were of course depressed about this matter.
◎
Yunyin Camp in Yunokuni, an office made of simple tents.
Yun Yin went to the ninja soil platform and was reporting to the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow Ai.
"Lord Thunder Shadow, according to statistics, we lost a total of one hundred and twenty-three ninjas last month, including seven upper ninjas, seventy-one middle ninjas, and forty-five lower ninjas."
"Why did you lose so much?"
After hearing this, the four generations of Thunder Shadow were stunned for a moment.
It seems that the losses are small, but this is only a month's number of Yunyin ninja deaths, and it does not count the number of injured people or the number of ninjas who died in an entire year.
Coupled with a large-scale battle with Konoha the previous year, if all of them are counted, the number of casualties is at least 2,000, and the number of wounded and disabled people is more than 4,000 people.
Tutai did not speak.
The four generations of Thunder Shadow snorted lightly, and they knew who did it.
Except for the yellow flash, there is no second person in Konoha who can do such a thing.
"Is the battle damage on Konoha counted?"
The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow asked.
Tutai turned over a few pages of the document he was holding in his hand, and reported according to the content above:
"Based on the whole year, the casualty rate of Konoha should be less than 60% of our Yunyin casualty rate."
Hearing Tutai's words, the faces of the four generations of Lei Ying turned gloomy.
Doesn't this mean that for every six casualties in Konoha, Yunyin will suffer ten casualties?
Yun Yin has been dormant for many years, and even the second ninja world war is recuperating, waiting for the opportunity to defeat Konoha and establish his status as the overlord of the five major countries in the ninja village......
This is not in line with the estimates of the four generations of Thunder Shadow.
"Before the yellow flash came, Konoha's casualty rate was much higher than ours. His ability to harvest the battlefield was terrifying, no wonder Iwakuin would be defeated so quickly. ”
Tutai replied, showing a helpless look.
Before fighting Konoha, no one expected that the well-known Konoha Shinobi would become a turning point on the battlefield.
By the time I got my attention, it was too late.
The strength of the other party has grown to a very terrifying level.
Yun Yin is known for his fast and fierce ninjutsu in the ninja world, and the thunder shadow of all generations is the leader of the instantaneous body technique, after the death of the second generation of Konoha Hokage in the battle between the thousand hands, the fastest ninja in the ninja world has been inherited by the cloud hidden thunder shadow.
The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow, who inherited the excellent genes of the three generations of Thunder Shadow, is faster than his father's three generations of Thunder Shadow, and can be said to be the fastest ninja of contemporary ninjas.
However, once you meet Yellow Flash, you will find that the fastest name in the ninja world is prepared for Yellow Flash.
Even if he was proud of his Thunder Escape Instant Technique, the four generations of Thunder Shadow would not say that his speed was better than that of the other party at this moment.
"He's a monster. His nervous reflexes, I can only get tired after turning on the Thunder Chakra mode. That's not a reflex that humans can achieve at all. ”
The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow said in a solemn tone.
"Is Lord Thunder Shadow admitting defeat?"
Tutai smiled.
"Hmph, for now, if you don't limit or solve the yellow flash, the rest of the intrigues and tricks will be completely useless to Konoha."
The tone of the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow was strong, but he already felt admiration and respect for the ability of the yellow flash.
"However, there is nothing we can do to limit the yellow flash, and even if we try to contain him, we can't do it. The warm spring of his own people, the cold winter of his enemies, there is no more apt adjective to praise him. ”
Even though he is an enemy, Tsuchitai also respects a young and promising ninja like Yellow Flash.
"Not only that, but the white eyes are also a problem."
The hands of the four generations of Thunder Shadow on the table were clenched into fists, and an unpleasant memory came to mind.
Tutai understands the reason why the four generations of Thunder Shadow are depressed.
Supercilious...... Alas, another unsolvable conundrum. Tutai smiled bitterly in his heart.
With the presence of white eyes, Konoha is not afraid of any sneak attack, and Yunyin's sneak attack strategy will be seen through by the ninjas of the Hyuga clan.
In front of those eyes, no matter how precise Yun Yin's plan was, it seemed to unfold under the other party's nose, completely exposing his tracks.
"What's next?"
The four generations of Lei Ying seemed to be talking to themselves, with a cautious expression.
"How about the strength of the Eight-Tails?"
Tutai suggestion.
"Are you making fun of me? Tutai? Last time Bi and I teamed up to fight Yellow Glitter. ”
The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow's face was ugly, and he didn't say the result, but his face said it all, and the battle was not satisfactory.
His younger brother, Kirabi, is Yunyin's eight-tailed human pillar force.
Moreover, it is a special human pillar force that has completed the cultivation of the perfect human pillar force, and can control the eight tails in the body at will, but with the power of his fourth-generation thunder shadow, he still can't defeat the yellow flash.
Even if you go over and fight Yellow Flash one more time, it is impossible to change the outcome.
Thinking of the young man with blonde hair, the four generations of Lei Ying were also a little desperate in their hearts.
In the next few decades, Yun Yin has no hope of defeating Konoha?
The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow was extremely unwilling, and the results of the joint efforts of his father, the third generation of Thunder Shadow and Yun Yin for decades, were easily stopped by a Konoha ninja younger than himself.
It is conceivable that the five major countries in the future will still be respected by the Land of Fire, the Ninja Village will still be headed by Konoha, and Yun Yin will always be the second in ten thousand years.
Seeing the uncertain faces of the four generations of Thunder Shadows, Tutai knew that the invincible belief of the four generations of Thunder Shadows had been shattered.
During the battle with Hinata Ayane, the proud Thunder Armor was unable to resist the attacks of the soft fist and suffered internal injuries several times.
Fighting against the yellow flash wave feng shui gate, his speed is completely defeated by the opponent.
When he met these two ninjas, Totai didn't know how to describe the bad mood of the four generations of Thunder Shadow.
Maybe this is the frustration that the four generations of Thunder Shadow must experience, and it is also the frustration that Yun Yin has to experience.
But experiencing setbacks isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Being able to see these setbacks as growth is a good thing for the four generations of Lei Ying who are not very mature.
Knowing how to advance and retreat, being able to clearly recognize the gap between the enemy and me, and broaden their horizons, rather than blindly relying on brute force to achieve victory, wisdom and courage are the talents that the five shadows must have.
Even if it is a yellow flash, it is impossible for life to be smooth sailing.
However, the Thunder Shadow-sama should not be hit too hard, and the setbacks should be moderate. Now is the time, almost the time. Tutai nodded secretly, and made a certain decision.

In the Konoha camp of Yuno Kuni.
A flash of lightning flashed, and the light of a sword as beautiful as a fang's fang slashed through the air.
A large and a small figure staggered by.
At the moment of landing, the two turned around and rushed towards each other with the earth as the fulcrum.
The fanged short knife and the peculiar three-pronged kunai collided together, and the wind and thunder collided, and fierce sparks appeared.
"Alright, Kakashi, that's all for today, I have a mission ahead."
With a look of relief in his eyes, Mizuto stopped his sparring with Kakashi.
Kakashi nodded, and put down the white fang dagger in his hand, and the lightning on it spread out and placed it in the scabbard behind his back.
"Your teleportation technique is already very fast, and the next step is to enhance the ability of Lei Dun."
This means that Lei Dun's strength is still weak.
But this is also with Kakashi's harsh requirements, and it has been a while since he became a shinobi, and now Kakashi is fourteen years old, the youngest shinobi in the history of Konoha , and his strength also belongs to the upper middle rank among the shinobi.
Watergate believes that Kakashi may have the possibility of surpassing himself in the future.
"I see, Mr. Watergate."
Kakashi replied lightly.
Today's Watergate Squad actually exists only in name.
Because Watergate's killing speed is too fast, no one in Konoha can keep up with Watergate's skills, so Watergate's teaming style is extremely random, and it is not a fixed teaming mode.
Changing the team according to different tasks is also a decision made by the top management of Konoha.
But among these ever-changing ranks, Kakashi is the ninja who is often carried by the water gate.
One is because Kakashi has served under Watergate for several years and has a high degree of run-in.
The second is that Kakashi inherited his father's sword skills from Konoha White Fang, and he is also a shinobi who can participate in difficult tasks.
It's just that this mission seems to be a bit special, and Kakashi didn't receive the order to carry out the mission with Watergate, so the training can only end here.
Mizuto said a brief goodbye to Kakashi and left to carry out the mission given to him from above.
Probably another solo raid on the Cloud Hidden Ninja's solo mission.
Kakashi guessed in his heart.
Because that's what Watergate does every day.
At the same time, he also lamented the strength of Watergate.
In the past, he could still vaguely feel the boundaries of Watergate's strength, but now he can't feel it.
If it continues at this rate, it will be a matter of time before he becomes the strongest ninja in the ninja world.
Without thinking about these things, Kakashi didn't continue to cultivate after the water gate left.
Although he knew that what he was going to exercise next was to further strengthen Lei Dun, there was no need to rush.
That's not something you can do in a day or two, and once in a while, you have to relax your body and combine work and rest.
So, Kakashi was going to go back and take a break, read a book, and absorb knowledge outside of ninja.
Ninjas are only a part of life, but not the whole of life.
Walking towards the camp, there were two men approaching them, giving Kakashido a look.
The reason is simple.
One of them was too young.
About four or five years old, with a small body and arms, and an extremely immature face...... It's all a little boy.
The clothes worn by the boy are embroidered with the logo of a fan.
Represents the Uchiha clan.
The adult next to the boy, Kakashi knew.
Uchiha Fugaku.
The current patriarch of the Uchiha clan is strong, and although his reputation is not as good as the yellow flash, he is also a well-known big man in the ninja world.
has a writing wheel eye that is as famous as the white eye.,In terms of strength,I'm afraid it's an existence that can be on a par with the three ninjas.。
Kakashi looked at the boy beside Fugaku again and sighed inwardly.
It's really important to bring such a young ignorant child here to shape the three views...... Is it really suitable?
It's going to leave a shadow for the rest of your life.
Does this kid have a grudge against Fuyue Shangshinobi? Kakashi couldn't help but think like this.
Kakashi and Fugaku don't know each other, but he has something to do with the Uchiha clan.
One of his father's three former subordinates, Sakushige, was a ninja of the Uchiha clan.
Before he defected, he was still a genius who was able to compete with Uchiha Fugaku for the position of Uchiha patriarch.
But Kakashi had no desire to talk to Tomiyaki or anything, and walked past Tomiyaku silently without saying anything.
Fugaku stopped, and like Kakashi, he didn't speak.
The boy next to him saw his father stop and followed suit.
The boy turned to look at Kakashi's back, a curious look in his eyes.
"Father, that man is ......"
When Fugaku heard the boy's question, he spoke, "Kakashi Hachiki." A genius who entered school at the age of four and graduated from a ninja school at the age of five. After that, he became a middle ninja at the age of six, and an upper ninja at the age of twelve...... It can be said that it is one of the most legendary Konoha shinobi in Konoha today. ”
The boy didn't speak, just looked at Kakashi's back with curiosity in his eyes.
"Itachi, you have to grow up as soon as possible...... Become such a genius and be sure to surpass him. ”
Father Fugaku's voice rang in his ears.
The boy, named Itachi, did not understand why his father was asking for this.
Just nodded ignorantly.
But there is also an idea in my heart, if I become a person called Kakashi, will I be able to make my father happy?
Itachi's little head is full of such thoughts.

In the conference room of the Cloud Hidden Camp.
The four generations of Thunder Shadow and the Yunyin Shangnin, who participated in the meeting, gathered together.
The Yunyin Shangnin who can enter this conference room is a well-known Shangnin in the ninja world, and he holds an important position in the Yunyin, which can be said to be a strong team that the four generations of Thunder Shadow rely on.
Among them, the earth platform is also listed.
The Blood Inheritance Limit Melting Ninja who used to follow the three generations of Thunder Shadow, after the sacrifice of the third generation of Thunder Shadow, has been doing his best to assist the son of the third generation of Thunder Shadow, which is now the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow.
As for how to fight Konoha, Yun Yin has had more than one meeting this month, but each meeting ended up without a problem because he couldn't find a suitable way.
In the face of the yellow flash, even if he exhausted his wits on the battlefield, he couldn't shake the current Konoha in the slightest.
Although Yun Yin didn't use all his strength, Konoha also had spare strength, and both sides were testing where the limits of each other's strength were.
However, compared to Konoha, the current situation is indeed unfavorable to Yunyin.
The four generations of Thunder Shadow saw that all the people present Yun Yin Shangnin couldn't come up with any good solutions, although they were disappointed, they also knew that they had done everything they could in the face of the yellow flash, but the providence was like this, which made Yun Yin's long-cherished wish to dominate the ninja world for many years come to an end.
At this moment, the cloud hidden upper ninja earth platform sitting on the left hand side spoke.
"There are two paths before us right now."
"Two roads? Which two paths? ”
The crowd was attracted by Tutai's words.
"The first is to retreat, a truce with Konoha."
Tutai said.
Yun Yin Shangnin, as well as the four generations of Thunder Shadow, all frowned.
They knew it was the best option, but they didn't want to do it.
"At the moment, we don't have a way to deal with the yellow flash, and a truce is the best option."
"......" The fourth generation of Lei Ying couldn't bear it, and asked Tutai: "Tutai, you just say the second way, what is the second road?" ”
Knowing that the four generations of Thunder Shadow would say this, Tutai coughed and continued: "The second way is still a truce with Konoha. ”
“?”
The crowd looked at him in confusion.
Tutai calmly looked at everyone and said calmly: "It's not really a truce, but waiting for an opportunity to prepare." ”
"But if you lose this opportunity, it will be even more difficult to find it in the future."
A cloud hidden shinobi said.
Tutai didn't think so, and replied to the name Shinobi: "No, now is the real no chance." I've already figured it out. ”
"Are you sure?"
"There are many hidden dangers inside Konoha. Now because of the external pressure exerted by Yun Yin, this contradiction has not erupted. This time to deal with us Yunyin, Konoha sent out not one of the three ninjas, Orochimaru, which actually speaks for itself. ”
"It's a bit weird indeed. Orochimaru ended the battlefield of the Land of Rain, and when we Yunyin attacked the Land of Fire, Konoha left Orochimaru idle and sent Akido to fetch the wind. According to common sense, Orochimaru should be allowed to come. ”
Konoha made such an unexpected move, and at that time, Yun Yin thought it was some kind of conspiracy.
"Not only that, but when Autumn Road took the wind and fought with us Yunyin, we basically didn't win, and Konoha has always been suppressed by us. And when the yellow flash ended the threat of Iwain, he was immediately dispatched to this side by the Konoha higher-ups, and it was only then that Konoha reversed the decline. It can be seen that the third generation of Hokage is already paving the way for the yellow flash. ”
Tutai said solemnly.
The ninjas whispered.
"If that's the case, then the troops shouldn't be withdrawn."
"Yes, once the yellow flash becomes the Hokage, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with Konoha."
"Sure enough, we should continue to fight."
……
The four generations of Thunder Shadow ignored this, but turned his head to look at the earth platform, signaling that he was speaking more clearly.
Tutai also knew that these people were killed by the yellow flash, and he didn't say anything about it, after all, he was also surprised by the power of the yellow flash.
I can't do it, I can only outwit it.
Tutai handed out the materials that had been prepared in front of him one by one.
The crowd stopped talking and watched the compilation of information made by the earth.
The content made above is all about Konoha.
And the initial inference was that the analysis began with Orochimaru's end of the battlefield in the Land of Rain.
Among them, there is also the credit of the spy who infiltrated Konoha.
Although I can't get to the core of Konoha, through long-term observation and folk investigation, I have also obtained a lot of information that seems to be useless, but can analyze a lot of real benefits.
At the end of the War in the Land of Rain, Yunyin attacked Konoha, Orochimaru was idle, and Konoha faced Yunyin's decline, and it was not until the Iwakuin battlefield was ended by a yellow flash that the situation was reversed.
This series of events were carefully recorded and analyzed by Tutai.
"According to my research, many of the tasks of Yellow Flash are completed by a single person. Although he was very famous and powerful enough, he never held the position of battlefield commander. Do you think it's reasonable for such a person to be on the Hokage? ”
“……”
Everyone thought about it.
The answer is unreasonable.
In other words, they are Konoha ninjas, and they are more willing to promote Orochimaru to the Hokage.
The Five Shadows are not something that can be held with enough strength.
Ninja is a symbol of a country's military might.
Shadow, that is, the core figure of this army, must have a strong command ability.
And the yellow flashes ...... Although he was powerful, he did not command any battles.
To put it simply, the yellow flash becomes the Hokage, which is seriously flawed.
No decent command skills have been demonstrated.
The Yunyin Shangninja are not fools, and the high-level of Konoha deliberately left the Great Snake Pill idle when Yunyin attacked, and the yellow flash ended the Iwain battlefield, but they were immediately dispatched......
They could only think of one possibility - that third-generation Hokage of Konoha needed a puppet.
The yellow flash was his object of choice.
"That's why you want to make a truce in this fashion and let the Konoha higher-ups fall into infighting?"
One of the clouds has guessed Tutai's plan.
"That's right. Now we can't deal with the yellow flash, and if we continue to lose it like this, it will be extremely detrimental to the development of Yunyin. Personally, I'd like to go back to the truce and let Yellow Flash go back to inherit the throne of the four Hokage. Once he ascends to the Hokage, he will clash with the three generations of Hokage. That's our chance. ”
"But it's all just speculation. I can't say for sure what this is the case inside Konoha. ”
One of the clouds was in opposition.
"Speculation is also analyzed from accurate intelligence." Tutai said confidently: "For the sake of insurance, it is true that you must be prepared for both. If the inside of Konoha is not what we think, it will not be too late to fight Konoha again. ”
"What about deadlines? You can't wait forever. ”
"Let's take the December deadline of this year." Tsuchidai thought for a moment and continued to answer: "We have a truce now, and before December this year, Konoha should be able to decide on the candidates for the fourth generation Hokage." If the time comes to promote the fourth generation Hokage from Yellow Flash, regardless of whether the third generation Hokage intends to use Yellow Flash as a puppet to support and become the Yellow Flash of the Hokage, it means that he will not easily go to the battlefield again. ”
As long as it wasn't a yellow flash, the rest of the Konoha ninjas, even if the third-generation Hokage came in person, they would not be afraid.
"Will there be a battle again at that time?"
Some of them were opposed, but most of the people who attended the meeting were moved.
It's just a few months of delay, and it's no big deal for Yun Yin.
The total loss of Konoha that has fought with Sand Yin and Iwayin is far greater than that of Yunyin.
In addition, Yunyin's armament is sufficient, and logistics supplies can also be supplied, and the only obstacle in front of the road is the yellow flash.
If Yellow Flash is promoted to the fourth generation of Hokage, and the power is hollowed out, there will definitely be a conflict with the third generation Hokage, and there will be chaos within Konoha.
If the three generations of Hokage really plan to take Yellow Flash as their heir, it doesn't matter if all the power is handed over to him. Busy with the heavy affairs inside Konoha, no matter how powerful the yellow flash is, it is impossible to be distracted and used for two purposes, while maintaining the stability of Konoha inside, he personally fights Yun Yin.
After all, Konoha has a complicated relationship with the ninja clan, and Yun Yin has long heard of it.
"That's right. The next thing we have to do is to prepare one thing, and that is to build momentum for the yellow flash, so that he can smoothly become the fourth generation Hokage. It's best to tout him as the number one ninja in the ninja world. ”
A gleam flashed in Tutai's eyes.
Rather than dismantling Konoha's prestige from the outside, it is also a way to do it from the inside.
After listening to Tutai's plan, the four generations of Lei Ying also nodded slightly.
Although this method is not very much in line with his heart, as a shadow, there is no need to be petty, and only use brute force to solve the problem.
"Tutai, can you ensure success?"
The four generations of Thunder Shadow only asked this sentence.
Tutai smiled helplessly.
"No, it's just a reasonable inference made by gathering enough information. Anyway, we can't stop the yellow flash, can we? ”
The four generations of Thunder Shadow were dumbfounded.
Indeed, there is no way to stifle the yellow flash right now, and that's the biggest problem.
"Hmph, let's go with this plan."
