In the end, Sha Yin gave up the sniper operation.

No one really pinned their hopes on how much victory a meeting would make Konoha spit out, and it would be quite a huge price for Shagakure to really bring back those teenage ninjas.

A desperate attack on the opposing legation is a crazy plan worth trying.

However, they were disappointed.

There is only one valuable character, Yellow Flash, and it is the most difficult existence to capture.

Similarly, on the other side, Iwakuin finally chose to abandon the attack plan after careful consideration.

When the benefits to be obtained by force are not sufficient to match those obtained by peaceful means, it is natural to continue to grind.

After the two sides confirmed their agreement after an exchange, they led their respective teams to slowly withdraw.

……

The shadows of Konoha from all directions are returning one after another, reporting all the movements of the enemy.

"They withdrew." A dark captain concluded.

"Got it." Shuimen's eyes were sharp, and he still looked directly at the Yuyin Village where it was drizzling, "It's hard work." ”

Then Shuimen also immediately ordered a retreat, since Sha Yin Yan Yin no longer planned to make the next move, then there was no need for the receiving troops that were originally on the periphery of Yuyin Village to continue to stay.

After the large army disappeared from the field of vision of the four people, he suddenly asked again, "How did Yuyin know about your existence?" ”

Not only did Sha Yin have doubts, but Mizumon also felt incomprehensible about Yu Yin's intelligence ability.

The Libra of Ice, this title, is a saying that begins in the dark part of Konoha.

And how long has it been since the final battle of Kikyo Mountain, and Yuyin has already found out this kind of information.

Then contact the fact that the previous Danzang's subordinates joined Xiao......

A terrible thought had been formed in Watergate's mind.

"Konoha's intelligence system has been infiltrated by Rain Hide." Qing Shui opened his mouth and said the first words after coming to Yuyin Village.

And there may not be no possibility of group participation!

"This is the only explanation......," Watergate's expression was solemn, "but when did it happen?" ”

"Maybe the last time you went to Rain Hidden Village, you mixed in some Rain Hidden Ninjas." Qing Shui paused and continued, "It may also be that the other party has been planted with spies in the shadows all along. ”

"Of course, it's very unlikely."

Because if this is really the case, the other party will have countless opportunities to stab Konoha in the back in the past few years, and there is no need to wait until today to start making a move.

Mizumon carefully recalled the situation when he and Orochimaru were on a support mission with Orochimaru last time: "Orochimaru and I left the Shadow Brigade at that time, and we really can't confirm whether there are any spy ...... of Rain Hidden there."

Come to think of it, there is only that one gap, and the other party may succeed.

After all, the other party has the two great pupil techniques of reincarnation eye and kaleidoscope writing wheel eye, if it is just an opportunity to capture some lone shadow reconnaissance ninjas and then replace or even directly, it is not impossible.

But there were hundreds of shadows on that mission, and how many of them were infiltrated with such a large number of ninjas?

At this thought, both Shimizu and Mizuto wisely stopped talking about it, and at this time, it was even more important to bring this information back to Konoha.

Psychics!

Watergate immediately channeled a red toad.

"Yo, it's a small water gate, what's the need for me to run errands?" It was Kosuke who spoke, a liaison frog who was in charge of communication between Mt. Myoki and Konoha Village.

"Please send these two pieces of information back to Konoha immediately and hand them over to Hokage-sama."

"No problem." Kosuke wiped the goggles off his neck, "Anything else?" ”

"That...... Is Mr. Jiraiya still in Myoki Mountain? ”

"Yes, Xiao Zilai has been practicing very hard."

"That's right......" Watergate was slightly disappointed.

In this case, Jiraiya-sensei will not be able to come and participate in the next task.

"Do you want me to contact Jiraiya?"

"No need, teacher, he should be at the most critical moment now." Watergate shook his head, "Forget it." ”

"It's really important, Xiao Zilai also said that if this practice is successful, he will be a real man in the future."

"......" Watergate was speechless for a while.

Young Kakashi and Shisui looked confused.

Cultivating to become a true man?

Wasn't it before that Jiraiya seniors?

Looking at the puzzled crowd, Toad Kosuke explained: "Because Xiao Jilai also said that his time is too short, as a man, this is a dereliction of duty." ”

"Ahem......" Qing Shui saw that this topic had a tendency to constantly fall into the abyss, so he said bluntly, "It refers to the duration of the immortal mode, and the previous Jiraiya seniors thought that his strength was limited by the short time of the immortal mode. ”

I see~

The two teenagers nodded in understanding.

And the teacher's hands can't be separated after entering the immortal mode...... It's not exactly fairy mode. ”

Although Jiraiya's immortal mode is aided by the two major toad immortals, Fukasaku and Shima, he himself cannot use his hands, and the duration of the immortal mode is very limited, so his strength will naturally be greatly affected.

Maybe it's stimulated by the younger generation of ninjas, maybe it's the crisis of serious injury, and the appearance of Madara...... In short, Jiraiya's heart that longs for strength is burning again.

He was determined to do penance in Myoki Mountain, and then completely perfect his immortal mode!

"Then I'll go first." Kosuke Toad finally said hello, and then disappeared in front of everyone's eyes with a "bang".

Konoha intelligence has been infiltrated, and all those shameful terms have been brought back to Konoha along with them.

Kakashi was unwilling: "Konoha obviously won the war, but he has to pay a certain price to continue to maintain the peace......"

"It's ridiculous."

"That's politics." Mizumon explained, "Konoha can only represent Konoha, but it can't represent the Land of Fire. ”

"And the daimyo is the symbol of the land of fire."

"Can politics reverse the outcome of a war?" Zhishui was also puzzled, "This is a victory won by our bloodshed and sacrifice, but as long as they use the slogan of peace, they can snatch the fruits of our victory at will?" ”

Indeed, if this matter is known to the ninjas of Konoha, it will definitely cause quite a stir.

No one willingly surrenders a victory that has only come at a heavy cost.

However, this is a shameful fact that is bound to continue to happen.

"Yes, that's the unacceptable reality." Even Watergate sighed softly.

No one can accept such an outcome willingly.

"Isn't the Daimyo afraid of us......" Kakashi didn't continue, but everyone understood what he meant.

It is ironic that a ninja who has the supreme force in this world has to pay attention to the daimyo of an ordinary person.

"Ninjas are only responsible for fighting, and their only income is for missions, while the daimyo is in charge of the entire economy." Mizumon patiently explained, "The fundamental reason why Konoha can't continue to sustain the war is that he can't make ends meet, and the daimyo's spending on military spending has reached the limit. ”

"A blitzkrieg, relying on suddenness and the explosive power of a ninja village."

"And a protracted war is fought on the economy and the overall strength of a country."

"Whoever is dragged down first loses the final war."

"Unfortunately, after years of war, although Sand Hide and Iwakuin are not comfortable, the situation in Konoha is even worse."

In the entire third ninja war, only Konoha launched one large-scale battle after another, one protracted battle after another.

Although Konoha is the victor, behind this superficial scenery lies a deadly crisis, as the continuous war has severely deteriorated Konoha's economy, and its collapse has come one step earlier than the rest of the ninja villages.

The top management of Konoha knows this.

That's why there is a dangerous plan for Orochimaru to use himself and the strength of the two major pillars as bait.

Although the Battle of Kikyo Mountain was ultimately victorious, it was not Orochimaru's expected result.

Originally, if Orochimaru first withstood the attack of the elite troops of the Sand Hidden Rock Hide, and then the fire rate team returned after the water gate broke through the enemy's base camp, thus annihilating the enemy's elite forces in one fell swoop.

In this case, Sand Hide and Iwakuin will not only be defeated in the ordinary sense, but will lose the ability to continue waging war for the next five or even ten years, which means that there is no threat to Konoha at all.

At the same time, relying on the victory fruit of Mt. Kikyo, Konoha can continue to exploit the sand hidden rock economically.

However, the final battle of Kikyo Mountain, which was supposed to make the Konoha Phoenix Nirvana, was completely ruined because of the three-tailed beast jade's horizontal insertion.

The elite troops of the Sand Hidden Rock Hidden Sect of Kikyo Mountain survived because of the three-tailed beast jade, while the three major combat powers of Konoha at that time, the Great Snake Pill Chakra, were exhausted, and Mizuto and Shimizu were caught in a battle with the Eye of Samsara and the Kaleidoscope Sharingan.

Although the battle of Kikyo Mountain was won by Konoha in terms of results, Sand Hide and Iwakure didn't really break their bones, and they still had the strength to fight.

And at this time, another eyeing Yuyin joined the other party's camp......

"So the situation is ...... It really sucks for Konoha. Even Watergate could only sigh helplessly.

"Yuyin, is this planning to tear his face with Konoha?" Kakashi was still incredulous at Amagakure's audacity, "Aren't they really afraid of Konoha retaliation?" ”

"Yugakure has always been a potential enemy of Konoha." Mizumon's brows tightened, "Hanzo's ambition is to make Yuyin Village a powerful ninja village that wants to make Yuyin Village real and comparable to the five great ninja villages. ”

"However, because of Konoha's existence, his ambition will always be just a dream."

Yes, Konoha will not sit idly by to the southwest of it, and the emergence of a new powerful enemy is bound to strangle it in its cradle.

However, now Konoha's weakness and economic difficulties have given Yuyin's top management a hope.

Seize the opportunity of Konoha to start a major war, fight for as many benefits as possible for yourself, and then let yourself grow as soon as possible.

All the terms they listed, whether it was economic or demographic, were all for the sake of the possibility of the future.

As long as they are given time, they will definitely grow into a behemoth, and then finally gain the strength that makes Konoha fearful.

This is the dream of Yuyin Village for decades!

"Then we ......" Zhishui clenched his fists, unwillingly, "Is there no way to stop the rise of Yuyin?" ”

"The predecessors of the Great Snake Pill still need to guard the border to prevent the sand and hidden and Iwain from fighting back, and the teacher is still cultivating in Miaomu Mountain."

"As for the clear water...... Ahem, and I've been unconscious. ”

"So it's just the four of us."

"That's why we're still here."

It is true that Konoha cannot continue to deploy troops on a large scale and then launch a large-scale war, but the burden of combat resources of the special squad can still be consumed.

"Hokage-sama has privately given me another task, which is to cooperate with Captain Libra to investigate the situation in Rain Hidden Village." Speaking of this, Watergate paused, he looked at Qing Shui and said, "And give us immunity without having to carry political pressure." ”

Speaking of this, even Qing Shui raised his head in surprise.

This means that the three generations of Hokage put all their chips on Mizuto and him, and chose to trust the two completely.

As long as the two of them think that there is something wrong with the rain and hide, they can do it directly, and with all the consequences caused, the three generations of Hokage will protect the executor of this mission in the name of Hokage.

No matter where the pressure comes from!

It's a lot of trust.

"So the next task is led by Captain Libra." Watergate stretched out his right fist and said sincerely.

Qing Shui also clenched his fist and touched the water gate lightly.

"No problem." He glanced at the peaceful ninja village in the rain curtain in the distance, "Then let's get started." ”

……

"Nonsense!" Mito Menyan immediately retorted, "Hito, you will make Konoha guilty of being a war criminal!" ”

Zhuan Xiaochun also looked worried: "Yes, day slash, once the mission fails, this will have a huge impact on Konoha." ”

"And you didn't mention this task to us at all."

The three generations of Hokage smoked his pipe leisurely, and slowly replied: "The four of them are all directly under the dark department of my first brigade, when the Hokage even mobilizes his direct dark department to carry out secret missions, it needs to go through the administrative permission of the high-level." ”

"Uh......" This time Mito Menyan and Zhuan Koharu choked.

This is actually a huge power of the Hokage, who can directly mobilize the shadows directly under him to carry out secret missions, or even start a small-scale war, without the unanimous permission of the Konoha higher-ups.

The consequences of such a mission are all borne by the Hokage alone.

"Richo, can we know the approximate identity information of the four of them?" Tuan Zang asked suddenly.

"It's all here." The three generations of Hokage pointed to a few documents on the table, "You can read them as you like." ”

Then Mito Menyan and Koharu were completely dumbfounded after picking up the information of the four people: one was Libra not long ago, and the other three were "newcomers" who had only joined for a few days.

This is an insult to the intelligence of the people.

"This ......" Koharu and Mito Menyan glanced at each other, with unspeakable embarrassment.

"The information is genuine, and the procedures are legal, which is enough." The third generation Hokage said, "The next thing is to wait patiently for their news." ”
