In the blink of an eye, three years have passed since the end of the Third Shinobi War.

Although the war between the ninja villages is over, the world has not been calm in the past three years!

On this day, on the sea of torrential rain and stormy seas, a fierce battle is continuing!

A large group of ninjas are concentrating on strangulating a fleet of fugitive ships!

The flowing water will suddenly turn into a human form and launch a hunt, and the bone needles and spears will shoot densely at the big ship in front of you!

On the ship, the crystal ice barrier was embarrassed and tenacious to resist the encirclement and suppression of many forces, and the situation was precarious in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the defeat was doomed, a young woman in a cherry blossom kimono sobbed and hugged her child tightly, and then suddenly struck out and pushed the child into the lifeboat at the stern of the boat.

The delicate and male and female children wanted to return to the boat in a hurry, but the mother had ruthlessly cut off the rope of the boat with bitterness.

"White, live!"

In the midst of the rainstorm, the woman gave her last wishes and blessings, and then turned back and joined her husband's people again in the desperate struggle with no hope.

"Nope! Mom, don't! Let me go back!! ”

Bai who threw himself on the boat roared hard, but he could only drift away quickly with the waves.

He watched as the ice walls on the big ship continued to shatter, and the masts and ship towers collapsed one after another, drowning in the wind and rain.

Until the end, the whole ship was buried in the stormy seas!

On that day, the Ice Escape Blood Inheritance Limit Family, which had been joined since the establishment of the village in the fog Yin: the clan under the snow was completely wiped out!

The last fleeing tribesmen were caught up and wiped out on the sea!

The pursuers did not notice the boat that had drifted away in the torrential rain, so naturally they were not aware of the existence of the survivors.

The information that came out was that the Ice Escape Clan was completely wiped out!

This news spread across the continent in just one day, shocking the entire ninja world!

……

Later that day, on the border of the sunny Fire Country, Hinata Inaba could leisurely drink tea, watch information, and be contented and leisurely.

A painting style that is quiet and good.

It's a stark contrast to the miserable wind and rain shown on the intelligence!

After all, in the past few years, the major countries have had their own troubles, but Konoha Village has developed very well, and the good ones are enough to make the other four major ninja villages extremely panic.

"I didn't expect that the first thunderstorm was not the country of thunder, but the country of water."

After reading the information, Hinata Inaba looked up and looked at the large map hanging in the room, and was a little surprised for a while.

Although the ninja war has ended in the past three years, in fact, this ninja world is not calm at all.

This can be seen from the map in front of Hinata Inaba at the moment-

The map is filled with red markers representing the strife area and blue markers representing the Shadows' outfit outside the village!

Looking at such a map full of flags, combined with his daily life of leisurely tea drinking, there are really a few behind-the-scenes big bosses for a while.

However, this time, the prediction of his behind-the-scenes boss was slightly off.

Most of the people in the dark department are now scattered in the north, just waiting for the country of thunder to reorganize another big wave.

In fact, in the past three years, the territory of the Land of Thunder has been full of wolf smoke!

The heavy war reparations weighed down Yunyin Village, and at the same time, the influence of other gods also pushed Thunder Shadow to run wild on the deviant road!

Two years ago, Yun Yin secretly planned an operation to kidnap the second son of the Great Name of the Land of Thunder to blackmail the Daimyo for money!

Since then, the contradictions between the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Thunder and the Yunyin Village have almost been openly put on the table!

Iwakure and Konoha have taken the opportunity to go down and infiltrate the Land of Thunder!

Today, more than two-thirds of the Hakka in the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Thunder are ninjas from Konoha and Iwakure!

Because the daimyo has become more and more distrustful of the ninja village in his country.

And Yunyin Village is also riding on the road of rebellion because of this, and it is becoming less and less serious about the orders of the daimyo!

If the daimyo didn't give money, they went around robbing the nobles of the Thunder Country to subsidize the village, and the village's finances even improved a lot in the short term.

The two sides have actually come to the precipice of a rupture, but they are still decent on the face!

Under this cover, many of the reforms and expansions that Hyuga Inaba made in Konoha during these three years did not attract more attention.

Nowadays, the daimyo of various countries are supporting the daimyo of the land of thunder, so much so that every time the daimyo meets, the complaints and grievances of the daimyo of the land of fire are regarded as a kind of innocent moaning.

Hinata Inaba took advantage of this to get a great chance to make a fortune with a wave of muffled voices!

It's just that he didn't expect that now that the thunder in the Land of Thunder has not exploded, the Wuyin Village on the sea has taken the lead in making big news.

Soon his apprentice, Hinata Boeing, who was also the top liaison officer in charge of the external affairs of the Dark Ministry, walked into the room and reported.

"Master Inaba, I just got the news: the destruction of the Clan under the Fog and Snow seems to be related to the separatist forces in their village, and the main forces that will do it are most likely the Kaguya Clan and the Ghost Lantern Clan.

More specific information has not yet been clarified, and we are very sorry that we are slightly understaffed at sea. ”

Hinata Inaba nodded and comforted, "There is no need to apologize, it is my personal decision to focus on the north, and it has nothing to do with you."

Don't worry, I'm not the kind of leader who likes to dump his subordinates. ”

Hinata Inaba got up and walked to the map.

The past three years have been the golden time for Konoha to develop, and the dark department has not only fully inherited the legacy of the past roots, but has also developed rapidly, and the scale of the intelligence network outside the village has expanded more than ten times compared to before!

But even so, they still can't monitor the entire ninja world in every detail.

Especially in a ninja village like Kigakure, which hangs overseas, there are still not many flags they can plant on the map.

After a moment of silence, Hinata Inaba made a decision.

"In that case, I'll go there myself this time, help me contact the Tachibana Chamber of Commerce, and then inform Yakushi Nonoyu to be on standby, and I will go to Wuyin Village as an advisor to the Coastal Chamber of Commerce this time to see what is going on there."

After saying that, he suddenly remembered something again, and asked, "By the way, are there any survivors of the destroyed Snowfall Clan?" ”

Although he thought it was relatively unlikely, he still asked in passing.

After all, this is not without precedent in the ninja world.

In the original work, if the clan is wiped out, there will always be one or two lucky people who survive, and I don't know if it is some kind of metaphysics in this world.

Hyuga Boeing originally replied, "There is no discovery at the moment." ”

As a result, as soon as the words fell, her sister Hinata Ginsuzu's lively voice came from outside.

"Sister! Master Inaba! Big news! BIG NEWS!! The Tachibana Chamber of Commerce has just sent a message that they have picked up a little girl frozen in a large block of ice near the shoreline, suspected to be a survivor of the Clan under the snow! ”
