Chapter 99: War and Retreat (1W2)(1/5)
Amidst the yellow sand flying all over the sky, a large number of ninjas from Sunagakure Village gathered in a shady place behind a large sand dune in the back of the sun. They were probably transformed by someone using ninjutsu.
Although they have become accustomed to the feeling of the wind blowing sand across their cheeks, staying in the desert outside the village for a long time still makes many people feel uncomfortable, not only physically, but also psychologically.
The main reason was that the order was unclear - the Fourth Kazekage just asked them to gather here, but did not specify whether or when to fight. This gave rise to many different thoughts among the Sand Ninjas.
The warlike ones were eager to give it a try, while the war-weary ones were exhausted of their patience, but in the end they could only obey the orders and stagnate here.
Hyuga Yuzuru was quietly staring at Sunagakure in the distance in the distant desert.
There were many sentries in Sunagakure, but none of them could hide from his eyes. He easily discovered the loopholes he had overlooked, bypassed traps and warning barriers, and arrived at the large group of Sunagakure troops.
To be precise, it's a bait.
The blue electric arc in his eyes flickered, and the distant scene was constantly being pulled in, and then pulled in again.
No matter where the enemy is hiding, as long as it is a living creature, there will be a certain chakra reaction, and this is clearly outlined in Hinata Yuzuru's eyes.
There are no shadow-level opponents.
Obviously, the enemy's real main force is not among them.
After judging the strength of Sunagakure's troops, Hyuga Yuzuru quietly left again. I have to say that eyes like mine, matched with the strength in my eyes, really have bug-level reconnaissance capabilities.
Sunagakure also obviously thought that he could not see the details clearly from such a distance as the Hyuga clan, and he could avoid so many overt and hidden whistles.
Before the intelligence collection began, Hikakashi stayed away from the detection point, channeled a white bird, stuffed the complex narration of information into the mailbox on the bird's feet, and let it fly.
It was a psychic object that Hinata Kaoru used for experiments earlier. Although its strength was low, it could still play a certain role in some general tasks.
Then, Hikakashima stopped and went to the location written in the letter given by the pharmacist Nonoyu.
Didn't he approach rashly? Instead, he cautiously used his Byakugan to observe a circle for seven weeks. Then he got close to the distance that Byakugan Houname could observe. He used his Byakugan to look at it carefully.
It was a very hidden large stronghold. It was hidden on a sand dune. It was in a temporary space transformed by earth escape. The bottom was covered with yellow sand. If it weren't for the white eyes, it would be completely impossible to detect the stronghold buried in the yellow sand.
.
in.
Chakra's reaction is very simple, but have you ever seen shadow-level chakra?
The chakra levels of seventy jounin, eighteen chunin, and two genin.
What the Byakugan can see is that what is stored in this stronghold is only a small amount of detonating charms, Kuyou, food, drinking water and other supplies.
It's not an ordinary supply base.
Ri Yangya pondered for a moment, wondering if he would make any bold move.
While using his Byakugan, he looked directly at the faces of the ninjas among them, and checked to see if there were any faces with surnames.
While waiting quietly, it was not until another night fell that the chakra reactions of Shisui, Uchiha and others appeared within Byakugan's field of vision. Only then did I raise my head from the yellow sand and meet a few people.
Zhisui and others came to me in a dusty manner.
"Isn't it normal?"
Riyang Yaxin shook his head, and before describing the information in a complicated manner, he looked at the pharmacist Nonoyu.
Pharmacist No Naiyu frowned slightly and said, "Is it because you came too late?"
"Can he contact this root ninja named Hoshi?" Hikakashi asked.
Judging from the letter, the root ninja named Hoshi made an appointment to "rescue Kabuto" with Yakushi Nonou, but I didn't find any acquaintances there.
Could it be that they realized that the plan had not changed and canceled it temporarily?
Hikakashi admitted that possibility. It was impossible for Akimichi and Obito to exchange information with Orochimaru using Fei, who was also a member of the Akatsuki organization. Orochimaru would then feed it back to Danzo, which would have led to the cancellation of the operation.
Pharmacist No Naiyu shook his head, his eyes slightly anxious: "Yes, have you found any marks or signals in the distance?"
Rikakashi was silent for a moment, then made a decisive decision: "Let's go now - there is a small chance that it won't be worthless."
It seemed that Shisui and Uchiha's trip was in vain. The ANBU who were in charge of us also turned to look at Hikakashi, with no intention of blaming them - the number of ANBU in Konoha is worthless.
There is no limit, the eight large groups gathered here are no longer the backbone of Konoha's Anbu.
Being called over by Rikakashi obviously interrupted the rhythm of our mission. In addition, in a tolerant sense, Riyaya does not have the right to command, but only exchanges favors for support.
"If you don't have any information, share it with them first. Please be careful when acting before."
Riyangya raised her voice and spoke and gestured to share some of the information she knew with Uchiha and Shisui.
Including speculations about the connection between Yang Yaxin Obito, Koshemaru, and the Eight Roots, although there are few unconfirmed facts, the evidence chain of Yang Yaxin's suspicion is also complete. People who trust me will still take my guesses seriously.
stand up.
Zhisui and Uchiha were secretly shocked, especially Zhisui. I completely expected that this matter would have nothing to do with the Yang Yaxin clan.
Although Hikakashi defined Obito's identity as 'the well-known Akimichi Odin rebel', is the Sharingan, especially the Mangekyo-level Sharingan, really something that a traitor can possess?
?
Zhisui embraced the kaleidoscope and knew the power contained in those eyes. He was secretly worried that Rikakashi would be alienated from the Yang Yaxin family because of this.
That pot can be carried!
"Uchiha, the pupil power under this eye is similar to his Sharingan."
Hikakashi's words made Uchiha's pupils shrink slightly. I subconsciously stretched out my hand to touch my Sharingan, which was covered by the mask, and my eyes gradually became cold and hot.
No one stole Obito’s eyes!?
My first reaction was that no one had taken away the other Sharingan from Obito Akimichi.
Rikakashi also seemed to hint to me: "The power hidden in his eyes is definitely worse than the other party's. Perhaps, he does not understand his own eye in depth."
Shisui thought of something, turned his head and stared at Uchiha, then looked at Hikakashi, his heart became simpler.
Doesn’t it mean that Uchiha can’t have the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan!?
Uchiha was shocked by the news and was not at peace.
"In short, that mission was full of doubts.
The original mission may not be suitable for the current situation.
The focus of the next task, you think, should be placed on those doubtful points.
For example, the reason why there was suspicion about the incident in Sunagakure Village, and who was the person behind the deal."
Hikakashi's voice made Uchiha and Shisui think of Danzo at the same time.
"There is no chance that the other party will give up that plan. If that is the case, there is a small chance that Sunagakure will choose to advance.
But I'm sure Sunagakure has never left, so be careful - the target of the enemy's plan is very unlikely to have moved from under you to another place."
Hikakashi's words made Uchiha and Shisui lower their vigilance again, especially Uchiha. Having been assassinated by Danzo once, I am deeply aware of the limitlessness of my roots.
But even so, when he realized that the matter might involve the root again, Uchiha's eyes became colder and hotter.
Collusion with other Ninja Villages.
A ninja who secretly betrays the village by making deals with ordinary organizations in the village.
That is something that any ninja who loves Konoha coldly and is loyal to Konoha cannot endure.
The eight people exchanged intelligence again in a complex manner, formulated an action plan and area, and formulated several plans to prevent each other from supporting each other before they separated again.
Hikakashi left slowly that time. I led Xiaohe, Yakushi Nonou, and Uzuki Yugao to obtain information about Sunagakure Village bit by bit according to the information on the map.
Without my Byakugan, the front of Sunagakure was almost infiltrated into a sieve, as if I was wandering around in my front garden.
Even Yakushi Nonou, who is also an intelligence ninja, was shocked by my extremely low efficiency and ability.
It’s like... it’s cheating!
No ninja has ever been able to collect information so efficiently.
From a distance of ten kilometers, you can see the enemy's number, chakra level, and even appearance and items carried in detail.
Is that still a white eye?
A small number of cordons are set so far away that they completely ignore the opponent's sentries, traps, and barriers.
I alone can find out the truth and falsehood of the other party.
Time passed quietly, and under the map in Konoha's war room, bright red circles were drawn one after another as white birds flew over.
At this time, Nara Shikaku, who was the commander-in-chief of that battle, stood in the command room, looking at the map, and sighed.
"Hikakashi, what a great guy!"
Next to me, the classic pig and butterfly families will naturally be absent.
Yamanaka Kaiichi of the Yamanaka Clan and Mian Yuzuruza of the Akimichi Clan were listening to my words in the command room.
"Indeed, if you didn't have such outstanding ninjas during the Eighth War, you might have been beaten to Mount Kikyo."
Yamanaka Haiichi was also amazed.
Under the map, there are dense notes with various information.
[This location is a material storage point. The number of guarding ninjas is 15, the configuration is 2-4-9, and the materials are mainly...]
