Naruto's strongest wooden escape

In order to figure out why these 2000 sand ninjas appear here, we need to answer a question first:

Has Sunagakure Village discovered the whereabouts of Konoha's advance troops?

In previous inferences, Uchiha Matsuri had always believed that Sunagakure Village had not discovered the whereabouts of Konoha's advance troops.

The reason is simple. There are no ninjas with superb sensory abilities in Sunagakure Village.

This flaw directly resulted in Konoha being able to learn the whereabouts of the Suna Ninja army, but the Suna Ninja army was unable to find out Konoha's whereabouts.

If Sunagakure Village did not discover the whereabouts of Konoha's advance troops, then it is very likely that these 2000 Suna ninja chose to march in the middle of the night in order to hurry.

However, when coming to this conclusion, Uchiha Matsuri seemed to have forgotten that his inference was completely based on the premise that "the Suna Ninja did not discover the whereabouts of Konoha's advance troops."

In other words, if the Sand Ninja army knew the whereabouts of Konoha's advance troops, Uchiha Matsuri's inference would be completely invalidated.

But, did the Sand Ninja army really not learn the whereabouts of Konoha's advance troops?If the answer is no, how did the Sand Ninja do it?

"It seems that there is only one explanation..."

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Uchiha Matsuri suddenly slapped his head, showing an expression of sudden realization.

Previously, Uchiha Matsuri had always fallen into a misunderstanding, which was to naturally believe that "the Suna Ninja army did not learn the whereabouts of Konoha's advance troops."

However, even if the Suna ninja was really in a hurry, why did Suna Tatarusa only send 2000 ninjas to rush on the road in the middle of the night.

It is better to join forces than to divide them.

You know, Konoha's advance force happens to have 2000 people. (This information has long been known to Sand Hidden Village and Sunabata Rasa)

Unless Sunata Rasa's brain is filled with water, as the commander-in-chief of the Suna ninja army, it is impossible for Sarasa Sarasa to abandon the numerical advantage and separate 5000 people from the 2000 Suna ninjas.

From this point of view, the reason for "hurrying on" seems to be untenable.

Since they were not "in a hurry", then why did Sunabarasa separate 5000 people from the 2000 Suna ninjas to march in a hurry in the early morning?

"What's the explanation?" Namikaze Minato asked, turning his head.

"Someone among Konoha's advance troops must have informed the Suna Ninja in advance." Uchiha Matsuri said in a low voice.

Since the hypothesis (that the Sand Ninja did not learn the whereabouts of Konoha's advance troops) does not make sense, then there is only one possibility.

That is, the Suna Ninja may have learned the whereabouts of Konoha's advance troops.

Based on this assumption, the purpose of these 2000 sand ninjas is very clear.

There is no doubt that the mission of the 2000 Sand Ninjas on this trip is roughly the same as the mission tonight at the Uchiha Festival.

The only difference is that the targets of the two attacks are exactly opposite. The target of the Uchiha Festival is the Suna Ninja station, and the target of the 2000 Suna Ninja attack is the station of Konoha's advance troops.

The purpose was clear, and the only thing Uchiha Matsuri couldn't figure out was how the Suna Ninja army learned the whereabouts of Konoha's advance troops.

After thinking about it, the word "undercover" appeared in Uchiha Matsuri's mind.

Yes, it is very likely that there are undercover agents from Sunagakure Village lurking among Konoha's advance troops.

With the undercover information, it was possible for Rasa Sunata to grasp the real-time whereabouts of Konoha's advance troops and formulate a plan for a "night attack on Konoha's headquarters"

plan.

"Breaking news?"

After hearing Uchiha Matsuri's analysis, Namikaze Minato was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

You know, in the history of the ninja world, undercover tactics have not appeared publicly for a long time.

Even though it has become an open secret that countries send undercover agents to each other, at least the performance of undercover agents in previous wars was not that outstanding.

This time is different.

Because the undercover agent leaked information to the Suna Ninja army, 2000 Suna Ninja prepared to attack the location of Konoha's advance troops at night.

If Uchiha Matsuri had not discovered this matter, perhaps tonight, the station of Konoha's advance troops would have suffered a devastating blow.

"If there is really an undercover informant, the undercover should also know that with the strength of these 2000 people, it is impossible to break into the advance troop station..." Namikaze Minato analyzed eloquently.

The Konoha advance force station is guarded 24 hours a day by the Hyuga clan ninjas. Even if the 2000 Suna ninja successfully arrive at the advance force station, they will be greeted by the advance force that is ready.

Isn't the purpose of going to great lengths to attack at night just to catch someone by surprise and catch them off guard?

Since Konoha's advance troops were able to detect the arrival of the Suna Ninja first, then the Suna Ninja's night attack had lost its original meaning.

What Namikaze Minato could think of, Sunabata Rasa and Yashamaru should also be able to think of.

Since the night attack has lost its meaning, why did Sunabu Luosha still send these 2000 Suna ninjas to attack the advance troop station at night?

After listening to Minato Namikaze's analysis, Uchiha Matsuri's brows were furrowed. Just when Minato Namikaze was about to speak again, suddenly, Uchiha Matsuri clenched his fists and made a "tapping" sound with his fingers. sound.

"No, there is danger over there with the advance troops." Uchiha Matsuri warned in a low voice.

Since Sunabata Rasa dared to send these 2000 Suna ninjas to sneak attack the advance force at night, then at this time, the undercovers in the advance force's station would most likely cooperate inside and outside to assist the Suna ninja army in getting rid of the threatening Hyuga ninjas.

"That undercover ninja who will attack the Hyuga clan?" Namikaze Minato reacted and looked in the direction of Konoha worriedly.

"It's very possible. No, it will definitely happen." Uchiha Matsuri curled his lips and continued, "If there really is an undercover, that undercover will definitely take the risk to attack the Hyuga ninja."

"If my guess is correct, Sunagakure Village has been ready to abandon this undercover agent from the moment he joined the advance team."

"Will the undercover be the one who holds the core secret?" Namikaze Minato asked.

Among the advance troops, apart from the army commander-in-chief Hatake Sakumo, the only ones who could master the core secrets were the four squad leaders directly under Hatake Sakumo.

These four squad leaders each oversee 500 ninjas and have great powers and responsibilities.

"The possibility is very small." Uchiha Matsuri shrugged and continued to explain, "You and I are both squad leaders, and Shikaku is probably also a squad leader. From this point of view, the only one suspected of being an undercover agent is the mysterious one. The fourth squad leader."

Even though they were all squad captains, before meeting Minato Namikaze, Uchiha Matsuri had no idea of ​​the identities of the other three at the same level.

Namikaze Minato and Nara Shikaku couldn't be undercover agents, let alone Hatake Sakumo.

The only ninja who has access to core secrets and may be an undercover agent in Sunagakure Village is the fourth squad leader who has never shown up.
