The border between the Land of Waves and the Land of Fire is probably the area with the highest concentration of ninja firefights in the ninja world today.

Sand Yin was seriously injured by the fourth generation of Wind Shadow, and Hakura, who was the main fighter in the direction of his fog concealment, also disappeared mysteriously in a surprise attack not long ago.

For this reason, Sha Yin had to shrink the eastern front, and even many of the occupied sea islands were retreating and retreating, holding on to them, and temporarily losing the ability to counterattack.

Yunyin Village has entered the throes of generational change because of the heroic sacrifice of the three generations of Thunder Shadow in the war, and there is no confidence to launch a large-scale attack for a while.

Even the country of rain, which has been plagued by great power confrontations for many years, has finally gained a respite from the recent strong rise of a new force...

Therefore, this place where fire and water meet has become the most tragic meat grinding ground in the ninja world today.

The luxurious rescue team that went to rescue the Uchiha Shisui was finally able to reach the edge of this hell on earth after nearly three days of running at full strength.

It's just that the Konoha Shadow Mountain Owl, who led the way to the place where the incident occurred, was the first to realize that something was wrong after returning to this area.

He stopped and raised his hand, motioning for the two behind him to stay for a moment.

"Stop, something is wrong."

Seeing this, Fu Yue also reacted quickly, and opened his blood-red eyes to look around.

No matter what prejudice this mountain owl has against the Uchiha clan, or what opinions he has against the patriarch.

But now that they are deep in the battlefield, they naturally can't afford to do anything unwise to put the entire team in danger because of the suspicions in their hearts.

After a moment, Fu Yue frowned slightly.

"I didn't see any enemies, did you react a little too sensitively? Or is there any discrepancy between the situation and your intelligence? ”

After waiting until Fu Yue was sure that there was no enemy around, the mountain owl first breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded again: "There is indeed a discrepancy. ”

The owl beckoned to the remaining two, leaning over the bushes and whispering.

"In the intelligence of our secret department, although the route we are taking now is still a 'safe passage', there are also three small strongholds near this road in the original intelligence."

"But on our trip, apart from an ambush in the Fire Nation, we didn't encounter any enemies at all, nor did we see any friendly troops..."

"That's the weirdest part."

Smoothly... A bit overdone.

If it weren't for the fact that there was such a master of Uchiha Fugaku in the team, he could guarantee a certain degree of clear vision...

So according to the past experience of the mountain owl in the dark.

At this moment, I am afraid that their party has fallen into the enemy's encirclement network.

Although Fugaku, who has experienced a lot of battles, does not have much experience in carrying out missions behind enemy lines, it is not difficult to hear the hidden meaning of the mountain owl's words.

The old dark man in front of him, who is also a hundred battles, should not joke with him in such a place.

Therefore, Fu Yue frowned slightly and said:

"You mean that it's very likely that the distribution of the battle situation in the direction of the fog has changed dramatically, and the previous information is no longer reliable?"

In such a situation, the mountain owl did not continue to dwell on Fu Yue's identity and nodded straight.

"Yes, the battle line in the direction of the fog may have undergone unpredictable changes in the short term, and every step we take since then is almost equivalent to moving forward in the dark, which is extremely dangerous."

The expression on Fuyue's face was also slightly calm when he heard this, and Kakashi, whose breath was slightly chaotic, was also silent.

The mountain owl witness continued, "What worries me the most is..."

"The fog hidden front has undergone such a huge change, but the main battle front of the Konoha side has no corresponding intelligence to return..."

With such words, Tokugaku suddenly retorted as if his fingers had suddenly touched the edge of a knife, as if he had reacted instinctively, "Do you still doubt that our Uchiha clan will betray us?" ”

And the mountain owl was the same as a meal, and said slightly:

"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if I think that you Uchiha clan will have uncontrollable madmen from time to time, it doesn't mean that I think the Uchiha will betray Konoha together. ”

"What's more, it's true that the main combat force in the direction of the fog is the Uchiha clan, but it's not your clan that has full authority to take over, can they also defect together?"

Fugaku was a little dumb.

He thought that this pair of mountain owls who were quite prejudiced against the Uchiha clan were going to use the topic to play again, but he didn't want to say that although he still didn't like what he said, he could say... Justified?

The mountain owl sighed slightly, in normal times, even as long as the team was still in the safe zone in the Fire Country at the moment, he didn't mind arguing with this Uchiha who lacked roots in his head for another round.

But now he just said in a deep voice: "I'm worried that something will happen to Konoha's main station." ”

"I can't even get the information back to Konoha smoothly... Very bad situation. ”

As soon as these words came out, Fu Yue also felt as if he had a thorn in his heart, and he frowned and was silent for a while.

But then he slowly shook his head and said, "No..."

"Our Uchiha clan has a unique communication channel, and even if the situation is in crisis, we shouldn't have no feedback at all."

】

Fugaku's gaze turned to the dark part with the bird's beak mask.

"What's more, don't you guys also have no corresponding feedback?"

Hearing this, the mountain owl also said a little hurriedly:

"So I'm worried it's a mutation! The battlefield is changing rapidly, do you need me to emphasize this kind of thing for you as the head of the clan? ”

"Konoha's comrades and your people are probably fighting hard right now! Do you not understand or are you pretending to be a lake with me? ”

...

I have to say that although this mountain owl has a lot of objections to the Uchiha clan, in the end, he is a qualified and excellent leader of the dark department.

The ninja's combat strength and footsteps make the battle advance and collapse of this world often extremely fast.

The appearance of a ninja who is too powerful is very likely to turn the otherwise stable situation in a one-sided direction.

Just like the existence of the golden flash and the three generations of thunder shadows, one slaying the Ichiwa Shinobi is like slaughtering a chicken and a dog, and the other is a true 'enemy of ten thousand people'.

If such combat power suddenly appeared on the battlefield of Fog Hide, it would indeed cause the battle line to collapse.

After all, in the original battle of Kikyo Mountain... The Uchiha had suffered heavy casualties and was no longer as strong as he was before the battle.

At this moment, what the mountain owl said was not alarmist.

In his field of vision, this rescue mission was not too rational and decisive.

He would even think that it was the Uchiha clan who put pressure on the water gate to lead to such a result.

Otherwise, with a ninja as good as Watergate, how could he not be able to distinguish the priority?

As the team froze, Kakashi, whose aura had been a little chaotic before, finally asked.

"Where's Black Flash?"

When they parted from the rice fire before, they made an appointment.

If there is an uncontrollable change in the battle situation in the main station of Konoha Station, the psychic ninja cat of the Uchiha clan will be called for help.

Then... Fu Yue will also give up this rescue mission for the sake of the overall situation, and then switch to the main battlefield.

Kakashi's question is also a point of Fugaku's hesitation.

Fu Yue shook his head: "... There's no information coming from there. ”

If it is really as the mountain owl said, the foggy battlefield is changing abruptly at this moment, then why hasn't there been any information back from the rice fire who was ordered to check the situation on the battlefield?

Even if the main battlefield is in full swing, the chance of the rice fire being exposed to support alone is too small, and there shouldn't be no news like this.

After a moment's hesitation, Fugaku looked up at the mountain owl.

"How perceptive are you?"

Hearing this, the mountain owl shook his head slightly, and sighed in his heart: "I'm not a perceptual ninja, I'm afraid I'm not as good as the eyes of the Fuyue Patriarch." ”

"All I'm saying is worry, and if you both decide to continue with the mission, I won't say anything more."

The most important thing in the world of ninjas is the rules.

It's like Kakashi's father, just like the dispute between Obito and Kakashi during the battle between Kamino Bridge.

Companion or task.

This will probably be a long-standing question in this ninja world.

Only this time... Their mission is to rescue their companions.

Captain Ao's speech at this moment is on the side of wanting to break the 'rules'.

He is the 'Obitu' at the moment.

Kakashi was a little silent.

But...

According to Obito's words, the companion is higher than the rules, higher than the task...

What if both sides are companions?

Even... Companions on the other side, maybe more?

And what to do...
