The long-dormant country of the vortex is in turmoil again.

According to the intelligence of the Eastern Border Defense Force, the Fog Hidden Ninja appeared in the territory of the Vortex Country for many days in a row, and peeked into the eastern region of the Fire Country.

It is a well-known fact that the Eastern Frontier Defense Force, as Konoha's famous Fish Belly Ninja Army, is not strong enough, so it is normal for them to immediately report the enemy situation to the village and ask for tactical guidance without further investigation.

And the proposal for the confirmation of the rights of the Konoha ministries initiated by Qimu Shuomao was also formed by the heads of the Konoha ministries and the upper ninja class to form a joint meeting to start preliminary communication, but the progress of communication was hindered a lot.

The upper ninja class wants to further limit the power of the ministries, and each ministry wants to take advantage of the opportunity to seize more power beyond the original boundaries of responsibility, and the progress of the talks is extremely difficult.

Even the Police Department is no exception, and the Chief Uchiha Quartet is also unyielding, aggressively in the joint meeting, intending to seize the power of the Dark Department in the village.

As the initiator of the departmental proposal to confirm rights and the organizer of the joint meeting, Sakushige Qiki understands that reform will not be achieved overnight, and it is normal that it will inevitably suffer from all kinds of nonsense and gossip.

And the beginning of the entire proposal to confirm rights, that is, the turmoil caused by the conflict between the police department and the dark department, was gradually overshadowed by the joint meeting.

At the same time, the information coming back from the Eastern Border Defense Force is becoming more and more urgent day by day.

The day before yesterday, it was just said that the fog was peeping on the coast, and yesterday it turned into a small group of elites who had landed in the country of the vortex, and today it was reported that the fog hidden ninja army was building a large camp and sent a reconnaissance ninja team to the eastern region of the country of fire, so wouldn't it be tomorrow that the fog hidden will defeat the eastern border defense force and invade the eastern region of the country of fire?

The Hokage sent a number of dark teams to enter the country of the vortex to investigate the movements of the fog, but unexpectedly, all the dark teams were gone.

At this time, the country of the vortex where the fog is entrenched is like a giant whale that devours everything, engulfing all the Konoha ninjas who intend to enter the country of the vortex.

But Uchiha Tokumitsu felt something wrong.

Because according to the report of the ninja cat clan who he commissioned to go to the country of vortex to investigate the news, not long after the ninja cat arrived in the country of the vortex, he was injured by a group of ninjas whose identities could not be identified, but fortunately he was able to escape by dissolving the psychic spell in time.

And the group of unknown ninjas who attacked the ninja cat clan seem to be extremely familiar with the characteristics and habits of ninja cats!

This is the most abnormal thing.

If the other party is indeed a fog ninja, then they will definitely not be guilty of changing their faces to hide their identity, and the arrogant fog ninja is eager to stick his name on his head and spread it around, and he can't do this kind of stealing chicken and touching dogs.

As an ally of the Uchiha clan since the Warring States period, the ninja cat clan has always helped the Uchiha clan reconnoiter intelligence and sell arms, and rarely directly participates in battles, so the relationship between the ninja cat and the Uchiha clan is not widely known in the ninja world, and the characteristics and habits of the ninja cat are even less known except for the Uchiha clan.

"Foggy...... Ninja ......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu paced back and forth in the police department's office, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.

In the memory of his previous life, there were no details related to the Second Ninja World War, so he couldn't judge based on the original 'Prophetic Advantage', and if the Misty Hidden Yuan Master was killed in the First Battle of the Vortex Country, and the original historical trajectory changed accordingly, it was theoretically normal......

But too many normal stacks are abnormal, and coupled with the targeted attacks that the ninja cats have encountered, everything becomes suspicious.

He also asked Elder Instant about this matter, but the Great Elder couldn't give any special strategy in the case of limited information, and it was impossible to find out whether the information of the Ninja Cat Clan had ever been leaked, so Elder Instant just asked him to pay attention to the dynamics of the village in the near future, after all, as far as Tuan Zang's careful eyes were concerned, he was absolutely unwilling to let the bloody conflict between the Police Department and the Dark Department subside.

"There's too little intelligence...... What a hassle......

Uchiha Tokumitsu became more and more irritable.

This irritability comes inexplicably and has no roots.

It's as if something bad is coming.

Uchiha Tokumitsu took a deep breath and decided to skip class first and go back to the clan to calm down.

On the other side, Hachiki Sakumo was in the meeting room of the ninja class and the heads of the various departments of Konoha continued to pull ramblingly.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door to the meeting room of the upper ninja class.

"Come in!"

Qimu Shuomao, who was also tortured by the official clichés of the heads of various departments, said out loud.

A dark agent pushes the door in.

After saluting the heads of the various departments, the ninja of the Shadow Division said to Sakumo Hachiki, "Your Excellency Sakumo, Lord Hokage has something to summon, please take the time to go." ”

Hearing this, Mito Menyan immediately got up, "Since Hokage-sama has summoned, let's postpone our meeting a little longer, we can't delay Shuo Maojun's big event!" ”

So the heads of the various departments immediately got up and scattered, only the unsociable police chief Uchiha Quartet was still sitting in place,

"The chief of the Quartet...... I'm sorry, I'll talk about it next time I have time. Hachiki Sakumo also said to the Uchiha Quartet a little embarrassed.

"It's okay...... Uchiha Quartet didn't care, "It's a major task to confirm the power of the ministries, and it's not in a hurry, just discuss it next time." ”

With that, he packed up his things and got up to leave.

The shadow ninja was still standing at the doorway, and after politely turning sideways to let the Uchiha Quartet leave, he continued to look at Hachiki Shuo Shigeru.

“…… Is there anything wrong with Hokage-sama? Hachiki Shuo Shigeru looked at the instantly empty conference room and sighed.

"I didn't know about it, I just told it on orders." The Shadow Ninja also said very respectfully: "But there was an urgent report from the root before, or it was related to the country of vortex." ”

"Vortex Country ......"

Qimu Shuomao pondered for a moment, "The fog is hidden......"

The Shadow Ninja stopped talking, and Sakumo Hachiki didn't think too much about it, so he went to the Hokage Building.

……

"Knock Knock ......"

Coming to the door of the Hokage's office, Hachiki Sakushige knocked twice.

"Hokage-sama, I'm here on order."

"Shuo Maojun, come in."

The voices of the three generations came from the office.

Qimu Shuomao pushed the door in.

In the Hokage's office, in addition to the three generations himself, there is also a ninja with blood stains and a simple bandage.

Its outfit resembles a dark part, but the mask has an eerie patterned texture.

Is it the root......

Qimu Shuomao also had a plan in his heart.

"Shuo Mao-kun, there is a task that may be tricky for you to deal with personally." Miyome handed over an intelligence document that was still stained with blood.

Hagi Shuomao listened to the three generations introduce the mission while flipping through it.

"The fog has made a lot of noise in the country of vortex recently, the day before yesterday, the eastern border defense force sent a detachment to land and investigate, but it has not returned, and the dark team sent later, after arriving in the country of vortex, there is no news......"

"Fog Hidden is moving so much?" Hachiki Shuomao also frowned, "If you estimate it like this, it is estimated that a large number of the Fog Hidden Ninja Army may have secretly landed......"

The intelligence documents in his hand do not have many contents, and many of them are "speculations......

"That's exactly what I'm worried about." Miyome nodded in agreement with Hachiki Sakumo's opinion, "If you allow the fog to establish a ninja army camp in the country of the vortex, it will be very detrimental to the village's subsequent response, so I need Sakumo-kun to carry out this intelligence reconnaissance mission......"

"Only you can reassure me."

The words of the three generations are unusually sincere.

"Leave it to me!" Qimu Shuomao's face was full of determination, "I will complete the task assigned by the village!" ”

"This task is not trivial...... "The third generation is also full of appreciation, "You know, the dark part and the root side have lost a lot of manpower in the country of vortex, I think about it again, it is true that only Shuo Mao-kun can do it......"

"Hokage-sama has won the award, and this is all in the job of being a Konoha ninja!"

"Shuomao-kun deserves to be recognized as the heir of the Will of Fire...... "The third generation sighed, "In addition to you, I have also summoned Tokumitsu-kun, and he should come over later." ”

"Will Deguang-kun go with you too?"

There was something strange about Sakushige.

"There are also mobile troops that you can also bring with you, you can arrange it yourself, if you feel that there is a shortage of manpower, I can also transfer a few more teams of dark troops for you."

The third generation explained: "We can't grasp the current situation of Wuyin, we need Shuo Maojun to find out, it's always good to bring more people, it's better than fighting alone......"

"Knock knock!"

There was another knock on the door.

"Is it Deguang-kun? Come on in. ”

Tokumitsu Uchiha pushed the door open and entered the Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama, come down and report down."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said lightly.

As soon as he entered the office, he quickly swept the room.

There are three people in the Hokage's office, namely Hachiki Shuomao, Miyome, and a wounded ninja in a dark costume.

"Deguang-kun, I need you and Shuo Mao-jun to carry out a mission."

The three generations said bluntly: "It's about the country of vortex, you should have heard about it recently, right?" ”

Sakumo Hagi handed the intelligence document to Tokumitsu Uchiha.

Uchiha Tokumitsu flipped through it casually and threw the paperwork back on the Hokage's desk.

"This piece of information is too simple...... Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little displeased, and the irritability in his heart became more and more intense, "I can't analyze the intention of the fog from it at all......"

"Yes, so I need you and Shuo Maojun to lead the troops to reconnoitre." The third generation said: "In addition to the mobile troops under your command, if you need other cooperation, you can do so. ”

Another meaning of 'if there is a need to cooperate, although mentioned', is that the conditions are opened casually, but the task cannot be refused.

Uchiha Tokumitsu's brow furrowed even tighter.

"What are the criteria for completing this mission?" Uchiha Tokumitsu asked, "Is it to confirm the existence and intent of the fog or to dispel the fog?" ”

"Just understand the movement and purpose of the fog and ......" The third generation was very patient this time: "Before the situation of the Vortex Country is clarified, it is not easy for the village to mobilize on a large scale to form a ninja army......"

"So...... This mission is just intelligence? Uchiha Tokuba's face was sarcastic, "Can't the Ministry of Intelligence even handle this kind of thing?" ”

He has always been irritable lately, so he doesn't want to leave the village.

"Shadows and roots...... Eight squads have been dispatched, but none of them have obtained effective information...... "The third generation said helplessly: "The only one who can return is the root, and the other teams have no news, and the information obtained is also ......."

"Tsk......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu snorted meaninglessly, took two steps forward, and looked at the wounded Root Ninja.

"Tell me a little about the battle you encountered, as well as the information of the other party." Uchiha Tokumitsu asked the root ninja.

"The morning before yesterday, I was ambushed by Fog Hidden in the eastern waters of the Vortex Country, and the nine enemies were all Shangnin, and one of them used the Ice Escape Ninjutsu."

The introduction of the root ninja is very reasonable, it is indeed easy for the nine mist hidden ninjas to destroy a team of roots, he is lucky to be able to escape back injured, and there is also the iconic ice escape ninjutsu of the Shui Wuyue clan, and it is clear that the other party is the fog ninja.

But Uchiha Tokumitsu has already determined that the root ninja is lying!

Because the ninja cat he assigned to explore the country of vortex arrived in the country of vortex from the eastern sea the day before yesterday, and the ninja cat still took a homemade canoe and sailed across the sea with wind escape ninjutsu!

There is no reason to cross the sea in the root of the ambush, but the unabashed ninja cat can land!

"Roots...... Fog Hidden ......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's heart became more and more irritable.

He inexplicably thought of the heroic figure Hakura of the sand hide.

It is almost certain that the Vortex Nation reconnaissance mission must be a big hole.

And it's very likely to be a trap set by Tuan Zang!

"I see, how about setting off tomorrow night while it's night?" Although Uchiha Tokumitsu has turbulent inside, he still has a calm face on the surface.

"No problem!" Qimu Shuomao readily agreed.

The three generations also nodded with satisfaction.

After returning to the Uchiha clan's land, Uchiha Tokumitsu immediately summoned the Uchiha Nagakei, the deputy official of the Secret Guard.

"You lead the dark guard to lurk to the eastern border tonight, and cross the sea into the country of vortex tomorrow afternoon!"

Uchiha Nagajing hurried over, and Uchiha Tokumitsu was not polite, and ordered directly.

"Yes!"

The Uchiha Nagakei immediately knelt down on one knee and was ordered.

"Remember! The Dark Guard's trip is not to be mentioned to anyone! Not even a clansman! ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu's tone was unusually stern.

"Yes!"

"Also, summon to the country of grass, send two teams back from the garrisoned red reserve team, and also go to the eastern border to lurk, and all the people you see along the way back will be killed, and you must not reveal any of your whereabouts!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's tone had an even stronger murderous aura.

"Yes!"

"There you go......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded, letting Uchiha Nagakei step back.

"Count me...... It's a pity that I'm neither Shuo Mao nor Hakura......"

He plans to use the power under his command to destroy the peeps in the dark in one fell swoop!

The crimson chakra eyes were unusually obvious in the darkness, and the Uchiha Tokumitsu's body exuded a cold and murderous aura, and he wanted to choose someone to devour.

Sorry for the late update......
