Naruto: Hidden in the Mist Konoha

"We'll be arriving at the village soon," Wasedoki suddenly sighed while leaping forward, "I can finally eat the tuna bibimbap made by Uncle Jiuyin again."

Qing Pingmaru, who was traveling with him, looked up and saw that the outline of Mount Ryuin, which is the gate to the west of Kirigakure Village, was very clear: "Huh, the mission was agreed to be three months, and three months later, and three months later, our mission has been completed for a whole month. Seven months. I can barely use water escape to eat Konoha's ramen."

The two of them kept talking and kept on their feet, followed closely by the captain Loquat Juzo in front, and the three of them formed a classic Kirigakure team leaping formation, leaping quickly towards Kirigakure Village.

Wasedoki and Aipimaru are registered ninjas of the Kirigakure Ninja Village. A year ago, they were ordered by the Third Mizukage to follow Jounin Loquat Juzo on his mission to Konoha. As war observers of the Kirigakure Ninja Village, they observed the wood up close. Leaf's war against the sand ninja. Their mission is to collect all intelligence on the Ninja War, with the focus on the formation of ninja teams and the innovation of ninja tactics. In the middle of the war, Konoha adopted the suggestion put forward by Tsunade, one of the three ninjas, and incorporated medical ninjas into combat teams, which greatly increased the survival probability of combat ninjas and made Konoha stronger as they fought in the later stages of the war. It can be said that Tsunade's advice is the most critical existence in being able to defeat Sand Ninja and Cloud Ninja without interruption.

"Silence." Captain Loquat Juuzang, who was a few steps forward and was acting as the vanguard, suddenly stopped, and then made a gesture of invisibility. As the gesture ended, Loquat Juuzang took away his breath and transformed into a horizontal branch, hiding in the There is an old tree ahead. After hearing the sound, Zaodaozhimu and Qingpingwan dispersed. Zaodaozhimu disappeared into a pool of water, but Qingpingwan escaped into the earth.

The surrounding fog is full of mountains. Among them, Longyin Mountain is like a giant dragon roaring high into the sky, with its tail swinging in the southwest and its head raised in the northwest. It forms a horseshoe shape surrounding Wuyin Village and connects end to end with Fengming Ridge in the east. At that time, the countries were in chaos and the people were in dire straits. In troubled times, there must be heroes and heroes. Thousand-armed Hashirama appeared and changed the times. Under his leadership, the Senju clan reconciled with the Uchiha clan. The two clans signed a guardianship contract with the Country of Fire and founded the Konoha Ninja Village. Immediately afterwards, the three famous ninja families, Oniden, Ise, and Tsukahara, jointly founded the Kirigakure Ninja Village. Counting it all, 43 years have passed since the founding of Konoha and Kirigakure. But what is regrettable is that the establishment of ninja villages did not bring peace to the ninja world. The scattered conflicts in the past evolved into wars between ninja villages. The battles were larger and more brutal. During these 43 years, countless famous ninja families have fallen or been exterminated. Even the Senju, the first family that once stood at the pinnacle of ninjas, now only Tsunade remains.

Loquat Juuzang and the other three were still half a day away from Wuyin Village, and they were still not within the warning range of Wuyin Village. The place where the three men were hiding was lush with trees, the river was gurgling, and a winding path stretched into the distance along the river. The three of them hid their figures and waited quietly for a cup of tea. Two figures in the distance gradually walked out of the thick fog. One was taller and the other was lower. They were both wearing bamboo hats. The drooping curtains of the bamboo hats covered their heads. Very strict.

"As expected, he is indeed Loquat Juzo. He can detect ninjas from such a long distance. I have to work harder." Wasedoki secretly admired him in his heart.

In the distance, the two people came closer and closer, and they saw that they were both wearing a strange kind of robe. The robe was black with rising clouds embroidered with red silk thread. It should be the regular uniform of an organization. But even though the three of them were well-informed and had just returned from the Ninja War, they still couldn't figure out the origin of this robe.

The two people were just walking and did not speak to each other. After a while, the two people passed by Loquat Juuzang and the others. It seemed that they did not notice the existence of the three people. However, as they passed by, the taller man's chakra They gathered suddenly and dispersed in an instant. When the two passed by, Loquat Juuzang saw that the tall man was carrying a bamboo basket behind him. There were vague spells written on the bamboo basket, and he didn't know what it was used for.

The two of them seemed to be moving slowly but quickly, walking further and further away until they could no longer see their silhouettes, and then the three of them, Loquat Juzo, emerged from their hiding place.

"Such a strong fire chakra," Loquat Juuzang frowned, "What is a fire chakra ninja doing in the Kingdom of Water?"

"They came from the direction of the village, maybe to visit the village." Qingpingwan guessed. Recently, due to the Ninja War, many families who were originally unwilling to join the Ninja Village were wiped out by the war. Forced to survive, many Ninja families began to contact the Five Ninja Village and wanted to join the Five Ninja Village. Kiri who did not participate in this Ninja World War Hidden Village has become their first choice.

"They have the smell of blood on them, and the murderous aura on the short man has not completely dissipated." Wasedoki is the sensing ninja among the three. "The tall man is even more powerful. He has five kinds of chakra smells, at least for two days." Within an hour, he has used all five types of chakra. He is a shadow-level master who knows all five types of chakra."

"I hope we are friends rather than enemies," Loquat Juuzang frowned. Returning from the war has always made him have a special sensitivity to crises. It was relying on this sensitivity just now that he could give an early warning before the other party discovered it. Breathe and they will be found. Moreover, the fire chakra of that short man made him feel a little familiar. It seemed to be the chakra of the famous Uchiha clan of Konoha. However, Konoha had just defeated Kumo Ninja, and the aftermath work was still in progress. As the last defensive force of Konoha, It is impossible for the masters of the Uchiha clan to come to Kirigakure at this time.

"We can't get into trouble, let's go back first. The information on this mission is very important, and it must be handed over to the Sandaime Mizukage-sama as soon as possible."

Loquat Juzo made a decision and ran away in the direction of Kirigakure. Waseda Noki and Aohionmaru looked at each other and followed closely.

Many years later, Loquat Juzo wanted to go back to this afternoon countless times and make the opposite decision. However, time passed and it was hard to get back. The big mistake had been made. His fate, and the fate of the Kirigakure ninja village, could not be changed.

An hour later, nine kilometers away from the Kirigakure barrier, the three of them ran into the recovery team sent by Kirigakure:

The great incident in Kirigakure: Tora Chiyo, the 9-year-old second son of Tsukahara Hako, the leader of the Tsukahara clan, was kidnapped from the village. Two jounin who defended Tora Chiyo were killed, and one of them died before his death. Use the last chakra to issue the visual water mirror technique, and transmit the process of being kidnapped back to the water shadow duty department. The Water Mirror Technique showed that the attackers were two ninjas wearing black robes with red clouds. The two men laid an ambush in advance. When Tora Chiyo and the other three were passing by, they suddenly took action and knocked down the two guarding ninjas with one blow, and then abducted Tora. Thousands of generations passed away.

This is the first time someone has broken into the village in the 43 years since Kirigakure was founded. Kirigakure’s fourth generation Mizukage has regarded this incident as the biggest provocation to Kirigakure. He announced that the village has entered level one alert and immediately dispatched recovery and investigation teams. The reconnaissance force conducted a comprehensive investigation around Kirigakure Village, with an investigation radius of ten kilometers around the boundary. The mission of the recovery force is to recapture Tora Chiyo, and the mission level is SSS. The SSS-level mission means a fight to the death. All the executing ninjas are elite jounin. They are allowed to use any means to complete the mission, even if it triggers a full-scale war in the ninja world, the ninja village does not care. This is Kirigakure's first SSS-level mission in 43 years since its creation. The Tsukahara family is led by the eldest son of Tsukahara Hako, Tsukahara Hajime, the second master of Kirigakure's younger generation, and leads dozens of masters from the clan out of the village.

The team of Loquat Juzo ran into the team of Tsukahara Tsurugi.

"Why didn't you meet those two people on the road? Why didn't you stop them?" The fiery Tsukahara Mabe almost yelled, "Loquat Juzo, don't forget where you came from."

The Tsukahara clan is one of the three major clans that founded Kirigakure and has a respected position in Kirigakure. After decades of development, many ninja clans in Kirigakure can be said to be from the Tsukahara clan. Among them, Loquat Juzo's grandfather was a retainer of the Tsukahara clan.

Loquat Juzo and Tsukahara Mabe grew up together and joined the ANBU intelligence unit at the age of 18. Faced with Tsukahara Mabe's accusation, Loquat Juzo felt very ashamed.

However, Tsukahara Tsui didn't care. After asking clearly where the Loquat Juuzang team met the black-robed man, he waved his hand and asked the others to chase after them first.

"Juzo, my father is very concerned about this ninja war, especially the yellow flash in Konoha. Every time you send a report, my father has read it carefully, but there are some things that the report cannot explain clearly. My father has been waiting. Your return. This ninja war is different from the past, and my father is very confused. After you return to the village, you must report to your father immediately."

Loquat Juuzang nodded, "Young Master, please rest assured. After I meet the Sandaime-sama, I will go to see Tsukahara-sama immediately."

"After you return to the village, you must go see your father immediately." Tsukahara Tsuya stared at Loquat Juuzang and repeated it again. Then he said to Aonimaru: "Ise-sama is also waiting for your return. Go see Ise-sama as soon as possible after returning to the village."

After saying that, Tsukahara Tsui jumped forward and chased after him.

"What does Young Master Tsukahara mean?" Qingpingmaru looked confused.

"Tsukahara Mabe just said that it was a recovery mission issued by the Yondaime Mizukage." Wasedoki, who had been acting as an aura next to him just now, made his presence felt, "Sandaime-sama is no longer here."

It was only now that Lord Sandaime was gone that the three of them truly understood the weight of this news. No wonder Tsukahara Tsui asked them to go see the head of the family first. When the Mizukage was replaced, every ninja who went on a mission had to report back to his family first to show his loyalty. When the third generation took over, some Jonin from the Oniden clan who had completed their mission and returned to the village did not know the situation. After returning to the village, they first went to the Mizukage for duty. Ministry payment order. On the way home, he was killed by people sent by the Gui Deng family. The change of Kirigakure's power is often accompanied by wars between the ninja clan in the village. Each generation of Mizukage has climbed to the top of the ninja through the flesh and bones of the ninja in the village.

The three of them looked at each other, speechless for a moment. Wasanoki is a retainer of the Oniden clan. A team of three has been on a mission in a foreign land for more than seven months, and they are already like brothers. Who would have expected that the three of them were all Kirigakure ninjas to the outside world. Once they returned to the village, they would immediately represent their respective ninja clans, and they might even confront each other with Kunai. Although we don't know what happened in Kirigakure Village, it is said that Kirigakure's power changes are very dangerous, and each time it triggers a ninja war within Kirigakure. Recalling the bloody storm when the Sandaime took over when they were young, all three of them were shocked. At this moment, Longyin Mountain is as green as before, the river is gurgling, and Wuyin Village is in front of them. The joy of returning home has disappeared. The three of them stood quietly for a moment, and each of them walked towards the village without saying a word.
