Chapter 9: Konoha, Cloud Hide, and Hinata
The inside of Konoha was gloomy at the moment.
The war, which ended with great difficulty, had twists and turns again because of the occurrence of something.
That is the leader of the mission of Yunyin Village to Konoha, and for some reason, he accidentally died on Konoha's territory.
And the person who started it was still the Konoha Blood Inheritance Limit Clan, the patriarch of the Hyuga Clan, Hinata Hinata.
The important people involved in Konoha were also involved in the mission of Yunyin to envoy Konoha, and the two were involved, and things naturally became troublesome.
Now Yunyin Village uses this incident as an excuse to ask Konoha to hand over the corpse of Hinata, the leader of the Hyuga clan, otherwise he will attack the Land of Fire at all costs until he sees Hinata's body.
Now the diplomatic problems between Konoha and Yunyin have created a huge estrangement.
And this estrangement is likely to invite war again.
Although the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind have died down, the Fog Hidden Village of the Land of Water seems to be resuming production due to the coup d'Γ©tat a few years ago, and it is in a serious state of 'seclusion' due to the coup d'Γ©tat a few years ago. And Yun Yin of the Land of Thunder is fierce at this time, threatening to start a decisive battle with Konoha again.
In order to deal with Yun Yin, since the sacrifice of the fourth generation of Hokage wave Feng Shui Gate, Konoha has finally exchanged the lives of countless ninjas for today's peace. Now that he heard that the war was going to come again, the atmosphere in the village immediately became solemn.
For this reason, Konoha has held a meeting of the upper ninja more than once, and the upper ninja with a name and surname have all conducted this meeting.
The matter was hotly discussed.
The conservative Shinobi advocates peace-oriented, and Konoha can't withstand the twists and turns now, since the sacrifice of the fourth generation of Hokage, plus the war of attrition with Yunyin for more than two years, the military strength has declined a lot. Now we should focus on development, and we can't fight with Yunyin anymore.
However, the people of the martial arts faction thought that they should fight back immediately.
After more than two years of war, he and Yun Yin are basically evenly matched, and this is because Konoha's strength has been consumed by Iwakuin and Sand Hide, and from this point of view, Konoha still has an advantage in terms of comprehensive strength.
Among Konoha, there is no shortage of high-end combat power, and if you turn defense into offense, you may not be able to hit the border of the Thunder Country directly, giving Yun Yin a profound and unforgettable lesson.
After that, look for development.
The opinions of the two sides were deadlocked, and the high-level did not express their position at the meeting, and Yun Yin's side, who was anxious to see the corpse of Hinata Hinata Hizo, had once again placed his troops on the border of the land of Yu, ready to launch an attack on the country of fire at any time.
After the Shinobi meeting, the Konoha executives gathered in a separate small conference room to discuss the matter of Yunyin and Hinata.
"According to the previous Shinobi Council, most of them believed that such matters should be resolved peacefully, and even fewer chose to continue the war...... But to hand over Hinata's body, Yun Yin is too deceitful. β
Zhuan Xiaochun frowned, and told the statistical results of the previous Shangnin meeting, and at the same time expressed dissatisfaction with Yun Yin's attitude.
"Yes, a peaceful solution is best, and if it really doesn't work, it is not a matter of starting a war again. The white eyes of the Hyuga clan cannot fall into the hands of others. β
Mito's attitude is also very resolute.
The leader of the Yunyin Mission died in Konoha, and Konoha is willing to make compensation, but it must not be exchanged for Hinata's corpse.
This has exceeded the bottom line that Konoha can undertake.
As high-level people, they naturally understand the power of the Hyuga clan's white eyes.
The strategic significance is huge, and if this blood inheritance limit falls into the hands of other villages, it will be more terrible for Konoha than losing a war.
"What did the Hyuga clan say?"
Hinata as the Hokage also understands that Hinata's white eyes cannot fall into the hands of Yun Yin, but compared to this, the attitude of the Hyuga clan is also very crucial.
"Of course they won't agree, and they are very adamant. Moreover, speaking of which, this matter was originally wrong. Go to the Hyuga clan land and steal Hinata's daughter, I guess they put the armistice agreement in Konoha for the purpose of signing the agreement at all, but for Hinata's blood inheritance limit. β
Because the whole thing is so weird.
Only a fool would infiltrate the Hyuga clan's clan territory to steal the Hyuga clan's clan heir.
Even if you can rush in at the first time, it is impossible to get out.
The leader of the Cloud Hidden Mission had no intention of leaving the Hyuga clan alive.
All Yun Yin wanted was an excuse.
Use the war again to threaten Konoha and obtain the Hyuga clan's Blood Inheritance Limit White Eye.
"I didn't hesitate to ...... it for the sake of white eyes"
Mito Menyan shook his head, the methods of Yunyin Village were still unscrupulous and radical and risky as always.
Immediately, he looked at Tuan Zang, who had been silent since he came in.
Through the previous war, the roots have been unprecedentedly strong in the past two years.
Danzou himself has become more and more influential in the village, and for the Hokage, it has become a situation where the tail is not lost.
"The four generations of Thunder Shadow himself have the experience of being defeated head-on by the white-eyed ninjas, plus the Yunyin troops on the battlefield, they have also suffered a lot of losses from the white-eyed, and for the white-eyed covetousness, the Yunyin Village is naturally unprecedentedly high."
Turning to bed, Koharu was not surprised at all.
After learning the true thoughts of Yunyin Village, it would be strange if nothing was done against the Hyuga clan.
It's just that I didn't expect to force Konoha and Hinata in such an extreme way.
"Hinata's Ayane...... Speaking of which, in the past few years, I haven't heard from those few people, as if they have disappeared from the ninja world. β
Mito Menyan smiled bitterly.
Originally, they planned to secretly solve those dangerous rebel ninjas as soon as possible, and wipe out the Uchiha and Hinata bloodlines that were scattered outside, but they didn't expect that since the beginning of the Third Ninja World War, the situation around Konoha has not been stable.
With the death of the fourth Hokage, Konoha's military power was weakened a few points again.
Want to deal with three powerful S-class defector ninjas...... It is estimated that if the entire dark department is lost, it may be wiped out.
A few years have passed, and no one knows how far those three people have grown. Especially since there are many Uchiha and Hyuga ninjas around them, their power is really not small.
Even if he successfully signed a truce agreement with Yun Yin this time, it would be impossible to focus on those defector ninjas in the next few years.
After all, there was also a big snake pill that also escaped.
With Orochimaru's departure, Konoha lost not only high-end combat power, but also a lot of important information and information.
Thinking of this, Mito Menyan glanced at Hizaki, who was thinking silently there.
If after the death of the fourth Hokage, Orochimaru is immediately allowed to take over as the fifth Hokage, instead of Hizashi returning to power and taking charge of Konoha again, will the situation be a little better?
But then I thought about it, if Orochimaru was allowed to come to power, with his and Danzang's tough attitude, it was estimated that the two advisers would be completely marginalized and lose their rightful status.
"Let's not talk about this matter for now, I plan to go to the Hyuga clan in person to discuss this matter with the Zong family, how to deal with it, I need their opinion. I'll take care of it for you. β
Hinata understands that there is no room for mistakes, but he must first know what the attitude of the Hyuga clan is before he can decide the next direction.
His original intention was also to hope for a peaceful settlement, but it was by no means a peaceful settlement in the form of compensation.
Because Konoha can't afford to lose his eyes, especially in the hands of a ninja village with strong ambitions like Yunyin, it is absolutely impossible.
Maybe handing over the white eyes can be exchanged for a moment of peace, but the scourge is the future of Konoha, and this kind of thing must definitely be stopped.
"Yes...... However, before that, additional troops must be sent to the border of the Fire Nation to prevent the Cloud Hidden Ninja from raiding. β
There is no opinion on Koharu and Mito Menyan.
Hizai nodded, then glanced at Danzo, who had been silent there, and didn't know what he was thinking, so he got up and walked out of the conference room.
β
"Sabui, will Konoha agree to hand over Hinata Hinata's body?"
The fourth-generation Thunder Shadow Ai, who was far away in Yunyin Village, the Land of Thunder, sat in his office and asked the secretary Ma Buyi beside him.
It's no wonder he's so eager, after all, the White Eye strategy is of great significance, and if Yun Yin also has such a blood inheritance limit, he will face Konoha again in the future, and the pressure will be much less.
Facing the question of the fourth generation of Lei Ying, Sabuyi shook his head very rationally and said: "Generally speaking, this situation will not happen, unless Konoha wants to force the Hyuga clan to rebel. β
After all, it was the leader of the Hyuga clan involved, and no matter how bad Konoha was in his decision, it was impossible for him to hand over the body of such an important person to Yun Yin to dispose of.
When it comes to the strategic-level blood inheritance limit of the white eye, Konoha will definitely think carefully and carefully.
Although he already knew the answer, the four generations of Thunder Shadow couldn't help but be disappointed.
The white eye's blood inheritance limit has added a lot of trouble to Yun Yin on the battlefield.
He himself had the experience of being defeated by the Hyuga ninjas.
Because of this, he would know the horror of the White Eye's Blood Inheritance Limit.
Compared to the Uchiha clan's writing wheels, he was even more jealous.
"And we didn't mean to get a white eye...... It's best to get it, but to be honest, it's impossible to take hostages from the Hyuga clan's land. β
Even if they let the Cloud Hidden Ninja succeed because they are not bad for a while, they will definitely be chased after them.
The current situation is very similar to walking according to their plan.
Their goal this time is to use this incident to cause conflicts between conservatives and radicals within Konoha, so that their policies are opposed, and Konoha is constantly consumed internally, so that even in peacetime, Konoha will not be able to recover its strength as soon as possible, but will further reduce its strength because of this internal friction.
And Yun Yin can take this opportunity to continue to vigorously develop the military, and under the advantages of one another, Yun Yin's military strength will inevitably surpass Konoha in the next few years.
As a ninja village, you can't just see the small profits in front of you, but also pay attention to the future development of the village, as well as add blockages to the rest of the ninja villages.
Since the death of the fourth generation of Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate, Konoha has been full of internal contradictions.
The three generations of the conservative Hokage Sarutobi returned to power, and the Shimura Danzou of the martial arts faction and the three generations of Hokage fought openly and secretly, and they had serious political disagreements with each other.
The three shinobi's Orochimaru defected, and Tsunade and Jiraiya are also said to have temporarily left Konoha for some reason and disappeared.
It can be said that Konoha's military strength at this moment has weakened to an all-time low.
But even so, the current Konoha should still be stronger than Yunyin's comprehensive strength.
Those ninjas are the real key.
Especially the Uchiha and Hyuga clans who took the lead.
The inheritance of these two bloodline limit families is extremely complete, and the bloodline limit inheritance has never been broken, which can continuously produce elite combat power for Konoha .
Once the number of these ninjas increases, the power generated by the gathering is even more powerful than the three ninjas alone.
The Blood Inheritance Limit and the Secret Ninja are the true essence of Konoha and the civilian ninjas are just cannon fodder on the battlefield.
If you want to weaken Konoha, you must first target Konoha's ninja village and use the contradictions between them to carry out internal friction of power.
This is the Yunyin high-level meeting, and the strategic plan for the future proposed for Konoha is proposed.
For now, Konoha has fallen into the trap they have designed.
By the time the three Hokage wanted to settle the matter peacefully, it was already irreparable.
According to the long-standing proposition of the three generations of Hokage, they must not want to restart the war.
This matter, as the personal secretary of the fourth generation of Lei Ying, Mai Buyi naturally saw it very clearly.
It is her duty to study the current situation and development of the major ninja villages for her boss, the fourth generation of Lei Ying, and to make accurate judgments and analysis.
"Next, Lord Thunder Shadow, you just need to sit still and wait for the results on Konoha's side. The Daimyo's side will also put pressure on the Fire Country. β
Sackcloth looked confident.
The combined power of the five major powers, although it is the most powerful in the Fire Country, but that is a thing of the past.
Now is the era of ninja war, in which ninjas replace ordinary soldiers, and ninja villages are the military power of a country.
The stronger the country's ninja village, the louder it will be at the international level.
Konoha has fallen behind in terms of momentum, and the Fire Country naturally can't be tough.
"I always feel like a mother-in-law, can't I think of a solution once and for all?"
On the dark face of the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow, the brows were furrowed.
"If the persecution is too tight, the rest of the ninja villages will have opinions. As far as I know, because we, Yunyin, have been expanding the ninja's armament over the years, and the rest of the ninja villages have begun to wary of us. β
Mai sighed, hoping that the four generations of Thunder Shadow could be a little more restless.
"Ohnoki, that old man? Let's just come like this, just during this time, I also have to concentrate on cultivation and further improve the power of the Lei Dun Armor. β
The four generations of Thunder Shadow snorted, naturally knowing the situation of Yunyin Village now.
As the five great ninja villages, they are all on guard against each other's growth, and Yun Yin has always advocated a strong military policy, which will cause the rest of the ninja villages to be jealous, which is also reasonable.
"I understand, during the absence of Lord Thunder Shadow, I will take care of government affairs."
Mai Buyi nodded slightly, and did not stop the behavior of the four generations of Thunder Shadow.
In fact, the four generations of Thunder Shadow don't look like the kind of acute sub-ninjas who work in the office.
Becoming the secretary of the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow is only a matter of the past few years, and occasionally in small talk, I heard the rest of my colleagues say that their fourth-generation Thunder Shadow has a white eye and soft fist against the Hyuga clan.
Over the years, he has been sharpening his Lei Dun armor, just to one day, a snow of shame at that time.
As one of the five shadows in the world, he was suppressed head-on by a defector ninja in Konoha and has always been a thorn in the heart of the four generations of Thunder Shadows.
Even a renegade ninja who escaped from Konoha had such strength, and Mai was fortunate more than once.
Fortunately, such a ninja defected to Konoha before the start of the war.
Otherwise, the third ninja world war will be an absolute victory for Konoha to crush the rest of the ninja villages.
After the four generations of Lei Ying left, Mai began to continue to work on the documents on the desk.
Picking up a document and sweeping it, Sabuyi's brow furrowed slightly.
This document records some intelligence information from Wuyin Village.
Now the person who is on the fourth generation of Mizukage is Goji Yakura.
This fourth-generation Mizukage is a very dangerous figure.
The first five shadows in the ninja world to succeed in a coup d'Γ©tat.
At the time of the coup, he slaughtered thousands of Fog Hidden Blood Mist ninjas in one fell swoop, and with his ruthless iron and blood, he completely became the biggest dictator of Fog Hidden Village.
The blood mist that is even bloodier than the blood mist refers to this fourth-generation Mizukage.
Now, under the advocacy of this fourth-generation Mizukage, the Fog Hidden Village is closed to the country, and the information is rarely revealed, and it is completely isolated, as if it has become a transparent existence among the five major ninja villages.
But Sackcloth didn't dare to underestimate this baby-faced Mizukage, and her attention to him has never diminished.
Judging from the way this Mizukage ascended to the throne, he is likely to be the most dangerous of the five shadows today.
His iron-blooded wrist, as the secretary of the Cloud Hidden Thunder Shadow, also felt frightened.
"After dealing with Konoha, you have to pay a little attention to the movements of the Fog Hidden Village. After the coup d'Γ©tat, he immediately closed the country, although it was because of his heavy self-inflicted losses, but he always felt that Wuyin Village was deliberately hiding something......"
There is still a long way to go for the rise of Yunyin Village.
β
When Ayane came to Konoha, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, in the dead of night, and at this time, most people had already fallen asleep.
For her, who used to be a member of the Konoha ninja, it was as simple as sneaking in without attracting anyone's attention.
At that time, even if Konoha was evacuated through a secret passage, but a long time ago, another passage was also reserved, hidden with secret arts, connecting the inside and outside of Konoha as a way back for the spies lurking inside Konoha to survive.
But only a few managers really know about this retreat route.
The Hyuga clan's clan land has changed a lot, and on the day of the defection, it was destroyed on a large scale by the detonating charm and fire oil, and it makes sense to reorganize it.
But this is still familiar to Ayane.
The new defense map of the Hyuga clan's land, she has already studied it thoroughly through the shadows left in the Hyuga clan.
However, Ayane did not sneak into the Hyuga clan's land, she could avoid Konoha's perception barrier, but it was impossible to avoid the detection of the white eyes of the Hyuga clan.
Especially not long ago, there was an incident where the Cloud Hidden Ninja stole the bloodline of the Hyuga clan, and the Hyuga clan is now in danger, using white eyes to contact all directions in all directions.
If you get too close to it, you'll be spotted by the white eye.
Blood Inheritance Limits like White Eyes are more difficult to defend against than perceptual ninjutsu.
Ayane set off towards a park in Konoha that she had agreed on in advance.
On the way here, she learned the general idea of what was going on.
Yun Yin coveted the power of the white eye and stole the daughter of Hinata Hinata Foot, the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, but was noticed by Hinata Hinata halfway through, and chased him up and killed him with one palm.
Later, Yunyin hit a rake, flatly denied stealing the bloodline of the Hyuga clan, saying that Konoha did not have the slightest sincerity to make a peaceful truce with Yunyin, so as to threaten Konoha to hand over the body of Hinata Hinata who killed the leader of the Yunyin Mission, otherwise he would start a war against Konoha again.
Overall, Ayane doesn't want to dwell on the question of who's right and who's wrong.
Yunyin Village's position and Konoha's position have nothing to do with her, an outsider.
She just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to further lay out the Hyuga clan.
In the secluded forest not far from the park, only a gentle evening breeze blows.
A ninja of the Hyuga clan with pure white eyes, it seems that he has just arrived.
Although it has been eight years since she returned to Konoha, Ayane's current appearance has not changed much compared to the past, and she is very young, so this split ninja recognized it at first sight.
"Ayane-sama."
The ninja of the family, who is obviously older than Ayane, is called with respect and adoration.
It doesn't matter how old you are.
The first Ayane who dared to break the constraints of the caged bird in the clan and led many clans to gain freedom was naturally the idol worshiped by many clans.
Even if this worship and respect cannot be expressed in ordinary times for some reasons, my heart has long been filled with such thoughts.
Suffering from the arrogance of the Zong family, they have never extinguished the ideal of freely letting themselves go.
The more they are restricted, the more they want to break through that barrier and become real people, rather than a tool used by the sect.
They are restricted in their freedom and personality by the 'caged birds', and they are no different from thoughtless tools.
"You seem to be getting older."
"Ayane-sama, I'm in my forties...... But Ayane-sama hasn't changed anything from the past. It's as if Ayane-sama you left Konoha and it was just what happened yesterday. β
The family ninja smiled helplessly and sighed.
When she left Konoha, Ayane was only nineteen years old, less than twenty years old, and now she looks almost twenty years old.
In this regard, the ninja of the split family was not too surprised.
There are many ninjutsu in this world to prevent aging, such as Tsunade, one of the three ninjas, who is already forty years old, and she still looks like a woman in her twenties.
In terms of attitude towards appearance, all women probably have the same mind and don't want to grow old early.
"If you don't mention this in advance, what is the current situation of negotiations with Yunyin? What is the attitude of the Konoha higher-ups towards this matter? β
After a short time of catching up, Ayane began to ask about business.
The Split Ninja also knew that there was no time to delay, and the time for him to come out was only ten minutes, and if he exceeded this time, it would arouse the vigilance of the Zong family and some lackeys Split Ninja.
"Yunyin's side is still holding on, and the attitude of the high-level officials is unknown for the time being, but I hope that our Hyuga clan will make our own decisions."
Said the ninja of the split family.
The meeting of the Hyuga clan, naturally, also had the participation of the elders of the division, among which there were two elders with real power, who took refuge in Ayane's side.
He got this news from the elders of the branch.
This time, he came out to contact Ayane, and it was also the two elders who were helping to cover up.
"You want the Hyuga clan to make up their own minds?"
"Yes."
"This statement is still as ambiguous and ambiguous as ever, it really deserves to be a third-generation eye, and the kung fu of the mud has not fallen at all."
Ayane said this sentence that I don't know whether it was praise or ridicule.
"So, what are we going to do on our side, Ayane-sama? Are you going to leave Konoha immediately? β
The Split Ninja was so hopeful.
In the Hyuga family, there are not a few people who have this idea.
"With so many people not having the right time and opportunity, how can they all be safely transferred? What's more, your family members are now strictly monitored by the Zong family, and the difficulty is not at the same level as last time. β
No matter how confident Ayane was, she couldn't guarantee that she could transfer a few hundred people to the country of ghosts safe and sound.
Konoha and the clan elders of the clan will not give them a second chance like this, so they must be strictly guarded against.
"It's me who is too whimsical."
The Split Ninja sighed.
"Don't worry, I've survived so many years, and it's not too late. I still need you to 'lead the way' for Konoha yourself." β
"Lead the way?"
The Split Ninja was a little puzzled.
"You'll know when the time comes, it's a big deal, and you can't say it now."
"I see."
The ninja knew that Ayane's side must have some very ambitious plan in mind.
"That's pretty much it, it's about what I expected. I've figured out how to deal with this, and I've given this scroll to the elder, who knows what to do. β
Ayane took out a scroll and placed it in the hands of the ninja.
The Split Ninja solemnly took the scroll.
Although I would like to know what is in the scroll, I also know that I should not talk too much at this time.
Watching the split ninja leave, Ayane glanced up at the full moon in the sky.
The sound of salsa sounded in the woods, and the ground was empty, except for a few fallen leaves that fluttered gently in the middle of the night.
