Konoha's Scarlet Flower Moon

frontier forest

At noon, Shikaku Nara looked up at the sky. Is it going to rain? He turned to ask the Nara chuunin who came with them,

"Lu Xin, how far are we from the outpost?"

Nara Shikamaru, who is often responsible for the transportation of materials on this route, gave the answer,

"Shikaku-sama, there are still 2 hours to go."

The closer he got to the outpost, the ominous premonition in Nara Shikaku's heart became stronger. He always felt that something was going to happen.

At this moment, Nara Shikaku received feedback from a shadow clone. This piece of information gave him some peace of mind;

The three students defeated the shadow clones faster this time,

Uchiha Kagetsu successfully broke free from the shadow binding technique, and her eyes

"Everyone! Gather quickly, let's start on our way!"

Nara Shikaku gave the order!

Hanazuki, Kurenai and Asuma immediately appeared from not far away,

In the cooperative battle just now, they defeated Teacher Shikaku's shadow clone within 10 minutes.

Teacher Shikaku's new order also stated that their training would no longer continue in the following journey.

Arrive at the outpost! is the only goal!

Hanazuki's chakra loss was a bit large in the battle just now, but the remaining vigilance prompted Hanazuki to open Kagura's Heart Eyes to sense the surroundings.

Now her perception can be expanded to a radius of 5 kilometers. After practicing, she can detect the breath even in the Yin Escape category.

OK, nothing unusual!

But Huayue frowned. She always felt like she was being followed, especially since this morning.

What exactly was following them? It was clear that apart from a few of them, there were only animals around.

Be careful!

Huayue touched her eyes lightly with her hand. With this power, she would definitely be able to defeat the enemy with a greater chance!

Now she has grown up again!

Five kilometers away, a man with a forehead protector and strange green eyes stood on the cliff.

After 3 days of tracking, I finally caught up with this group of people.

Kakuzu discovered that the red-haired girl who was the target of the mission was actually a member of the Uzumaki clan. Just in case, Kakuzu followed him at a distance, leaving the Earthly Resentment Yu lurking in the animal's body closer to monitor.

Today, Kakuzu made a new discovery. The little girl seemed to have a special pupil technique. His Earth Resentment Yu clone only dared to look at her from a distance and ran away quickly.

That look looks very much like the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

The price of a pair of Sharingan on the black market is 5000 million ryo!

Compared to gathering intelligence and not being able to spend the 200 million taels of mission money, Kakuzu feels that accepting a pair of Sharingan is more like what he, a bounty hunter, should do!

When it's time to act, act!

Fire Country, Konoha Border Post

After traveling quickly, the Nara Shikaku material transport team completed the two-hour journey in one hour.

Upon arriving at the Konoha post, Nara Shikaku noticed that the guards looked very nervous.

Something really happened! Shikaku made a preliminary judgment.

Next, the outpost ninjas just performed the routine operation of confirming the identities of a few people, which took twice as long as usual.

After half an hour, Shikaku and the others finally gained trust and were able to enter the camp.

Kagetsu, Kurenai and Asuma looked at Shikaku-sensei, who was rarely anxious, and were a little surprised. Is the security at the border post so tight?

not really,

Normal camp access only requires a coded security check, but today you actually need to demonstrate a secret technique. Something must have happened here!

Shikaku immediately asked about the situation at the outpost.

Sure enough, after learning that the post leader Sakumo Hatake who was supposed to return at this time did not come back, Shikaku felt that his ominous premonition had come true!

Something big has happened!

A fire in a border village. Could it be that a war has broken out?

Shikaku made a decision. No matter what the situation was, he, who was currently the strongest in the camp, must find Hatake Sakumo or provide support.

We must know what happened, and at the same time, send the news of the border anomaly back to Konoha as quickly as possible!

Can do this! only

Shikaku immediately found the sensory barrier team at the outpost.

"You have Minato's Flying Thunder God Kunai here, right!?"

The barrier class nodded solemnly, and one of them took out a special three-pronged kunai with the words "Sword of Ninja Love" engraved on it.

"Is the coordinate barrier scroll left by Minato still there? Find a way to inform Minato and ask him to come here!"

The barrier class is surprised by the information Shikaku knows.

In the past few years, the Sandaime Hokage and Minato, who has mastered the flying thunder god technique, have been perfecting an emergency communication network dedicated to war.

Namikaze Minato left the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God in countless Konoha border posts, and a magic scroll that could send a signal of the new coordinates to warn him.

As long as three ninjas who have mastered the barrier technique work together to activate the special barrier scroll for half an hour, a new coordinate point can be established, which will be sensed by Minato Namikaze.

This is an emergency plan that can notify Konoha as soon as war breaks out and enter a state of war readiness.

Namikaze Minato himself, who has gradually become known as the "Golden Flash", can immediately teleport troops to the position under attack or save survivors.

As one of the first people involved in formulating this plan, Shikaku understands this very well. Minato's arrival and the fastest delivery of news are exactly what they need at this time!

Making a prompt decision, Shikaku chose a chuunin who knew the direction of Hatake Sakumo and the others, and Nara Shikakushin to participate in the search and rescue.

The rest of the people staying at the outpost will continue to be on guard!

"Kagetsu, Kurenai, Asuma, you three wait here, we will try to come back in an hour!"

Just in case, Shikaku left a shadow clone. According to the layout, Minato will come in half an hour, but if by chance, his shadow clone is broken, Shikaku will also know what happened in the camp. , return to defense in time.

After making arrangements,

Considering the possible battle, Shikaku immediately took a soldier food pill to restore his physical strength and chakra.

One jounin and two chuunin among them quickly looked in the direction of Hatake Sakumo and the others.

After twenty minutes of non-stop teleportation,

Shikaku and the others saw the two chuunin Shinsuke and Tobi who were investigating with Hatake Sakumo. They fell to the ground in a coma.

The two of them looked a little purple, they were poisoned!

During the past period of time, the two of them struggled to move back while holding on for breath. In the end, the toxin completely attacked, their bodies became weak, and they fell to the ground.

Shikaku wakes them both up and asks about the situation.

"The Red Sand Scorpion killed the Sandaime Kazekage, made him a human puppet, and raped the border villages?!"

There is so much to decipher in this message!

The Sandaime Kazekage is dead!

Shikaku immediately thought of why the Kingdom of Wind closed its borders, banned people from entering Suna Ninja Village, and even went so crazy as to send elite ninjas to invade the Daming Mansion of the Kingdom of Fire!

It turns out that this is the case. The shadow of one village, which symbolizes the highest strength of the Ninja Village, has disappeared. This is simply comparable to defeat in the Ninja World War.

The fragile balance of the ninja world! Definitely going to break for this!

But there is something fishy about it!

Lu Jiu knew about the grudge between Bai Ya and Scorpion's parents.

Listen to Shinsuke's description,

There were no living witnesses of the Red Sand Scorpion's attack on the border village.

Specially showing the battle scenes left by the third generation of Kazekage puppets with the characteristics of the magnetic escape blood successor,

If the traces of the battle were discovered, they would definitely think that Konoha started the war and killed the Third Kazekage.

If he was the person behind it, regardless of whether the forged battle scene as "evidence" was successful or not, the rumor that "the Third Kazekage died at the hands of Konoha" would have spread early.

At this time, Suna Ninja will definitely take revenge on Konoha!

Several other major countries will also launch wars due to the weakness of the Sand Ninja.

This plan to trigger the war was very successful.

Shikaku believed that what he speculated had already happened.
