Land of Rivers.
In a mountain forest to the west of Kikyo Mountain, there is a hiding place for the Konoha Ninjas hidden under layers of camouflaged dense forest.
"Kazekage was solved like this? To be honest, I don't have any real feelings. It seems... things are not difficult at all?" Tenzo said. After doing something big, Tenzo felt not excitement, excitement or fear, but confusion.
Because the hiding spot has been hidden, and warning traps have been set up in the outer areas, and the news of Sunagakure will not spread to the front line so quickly, the mentality of the three of them is relatively relaxed at this time... they can no longer be nervous, they need to relax their emotions no matter what.
"Relax, it's nothing unbelievable. You must know that you are Wood Style Ninja, and you have the power of 'God of Shinobi', so you have to take a longer view... In front of Wood Release, Fourth Kazekage is just an ordinary ninja." Yuhara said with a smile.
He was not entirely joking. It was precisely because the original "Tree Sea Birth" divided the field and created a combat environment conducive to a small number of people that their battle went so smoothly.
Hearing the words Wood Style Ninja, Kakashi looked at Tenzo with curiosity. Wood Release Ninjutsu reappeared in the world. It should be said that no Konoha Ninja could be indifferent to this.
In fact, after the battle of Sunagakure began, Yuhara was already very confident in successfully assassinating Kazekage, because he found that his "Art of the Holding Magnet" completely restrained Fourth Kazekage's Magnet Release, in front of him, the powerful offensive and defensive capabilities of Fourth Kazekage no longer exist. Therefore, Kazekage is just an ordinary jounin. Since the enemy is an ordinary jounin, Yuhara naturally has a great chance to defeat the opponent.
However, Yuhara did not expect that this victory would be much smoother than he imagined.
He didn't even expect that the person who gave the decisive blow in this operation was actually Kakashi Hatake, and because Kakashi made such a move, Fourth Kazekage was so miserable...
Have you ever seen braised prawns in oil? It is better to fry them slowly over low heat until they are fried.
So when did Kakashi learn the damaging move "Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tag"?
Yuhara was full of doubts, and he turned his attention to Kakashi, "So, senior Kakashi, why did you use such a suicide move?"
"Just call me Kakashi. Don't call me senior, because I always feel that you are mocking me..."
"Okay, senior Kakashi."
No wonder Kakashi feels this way. Although Yuhara is not mocking Kakashi, he is at least teasing. On the one hand, he is treating Kakashi as a child, and on the other hand, he calls Kakashi "senior". In fact, this is a mild form of trouble-seeking behavior.
"...
When I asked Mr. Third Hokage to join this mission, I felt that my strength was insufficient, so I asked Mr. Sandai to teach me a powerful ninjutsu. Then Mr. Sandai gave me a list of ninjutsu, and then I chose this jutsu because it was powerful enough and seemed to be able to be done quickly. "
Kakashi briefly explained the origin of his Explosive Tag ninjutsu.
"As for that technique, as you can see, it is just Explosive Tag summoning Explosive Tag and then detonating in a cycle. The power of the technique actually depends on the number of Explosive Tag."
It can be seen that people are so annoying when compared to each other. Yuhara has been studying for many years and no one has taken the initiative to teach him any ninjutsu, but Kakashi can choose at will, and even Forbidden Technique is allowed to learn it.
"Wait a minute," Yuhara then discovered another bright point, "Do you mean to say that in just these three or two days, you have mastered this Forbidden Technique?"
Then Kakashi nodded.
Although the limited-explosion Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tag is not particularly difficult as Forbidden Technique, it is essentially developed from Second Hokage. Kakashi can actually master this ninjutsu in such a short period of time... It can only be said that a genius is indeed a genius. Yuhara definitely cannot do this.
However, it is precisely because Kakashi has such a talent that people find him very irritating... Shouldn't a person with such a high talent grow up to kill every enemy and chop up melons and vegetables 100% of the time? However, why did Kakashi evolve into a fifty-fifty one?
Kakashi's starting point in life and overall quality are definitely higher than those of his father Hatake Sakumo. However, he has never shown any pressure similar to "Konoha White Fang"... So, Kakashi's disease still needs to be treated, and he should be given a course of treatment first.
"Yuhara, I always feel that assassinating Kazekage is not a legitimate act. I feel that it will cause quite bad consequences." Then, Kakashi said this again.
What's more important is that Yuhara did some very nasty things in the end. I think some people hated Fourth Kazekage's dirty behavior.
At this time, Yuhara never mentioned that assassinating Kazekage was his backup plan. He said, "We acted out of necessity. Before Kakashi Senior, you can also see that the Sunagakure side has no sincerity in peace talks, and they are even emboldened to try to solve us... Only when our lives are threatened, we have to rise up and resist."
Kakashi nodded, Yuhara was right, the process was like this, the logic was like this, and the situation at that time did develop like this. Faced with Sunagakure's oppression, the three of them had to resist and then escape... However, Kakashi always felt that something was wrong.
Being forced to resist, and then easily solving Kazekage? Yuhara Is this considered "forced"?
The awkward thing about Kakashi is that Yuhara already had a plan to "commit murder" in advance, but because the other party made the first move, Yuhara later claimed that it was completely self-defense and that he had no responsibility at all.
"Under normal circumstances, assassinating a country's military leader is certainly not a good thing, but we are ninjas...Kakashi Senior, you will definitely become famous next."
"Me? Wait, me? Shouldn't it be us?"
At this moment, Kakashi seemed to have turned into Danzo.
"Originally Kazekage was solved by you.
And since there is no grand welcome ceremony, it is not appropriate for people like me and Tenzo to show up, not to mention... After Fourth Hokage died unexpectedly, his disciple's name immediately became known to Shinobi World. Isn't this a good topic? The so-called famous disciples, this is also to restore Fourth Hokage's reputation." Yuhara said.
After Fourth Hokage's death, there must have been some doubts about his strength and even more dishonorable opinions circulating in the outside world... If he was really so strong, why did he die? There must be countless ridicules like this of standing and talking without pain, so at this time Kakashi needs to come out and slap him in the face.
This kind of unilateral publicity is definitely not what Kakashi wants to see, because it is suspected of being greedy for credit and has the possibility of taking the blame. However, Yuhara just mentioned it and then ignored the topic, without giving Kakashi a chance to refute.
"Fourth Kazekage, Ebizo, it's a pity that Chiyo escaped my Rasenshuriken, otherwise Sunagakure would have fallen into Complete chaos." Yuhara felt that they did not do enough, but in fact since they destroyed the Kazekage building, the chaos that followed Sunagakure must have been enough.
Sunagakure's command center was destroyed, Kazekage and an advisor died, and there was a large amount of confidential information that needed to be rescued. What else did he want?
"Next, we will alternately be on guard and take turns to rest, and then return to Konoha's frontline camp after Chakra recovers... We need to bring the intelligence back quickly and safely." Yuhara finally said.
So one of them started to guard and two of them rested. By the time they all had a rest, it was already late at night.
I don't know when it started, but it began to rain lightly in the sky.
The environmental sound on a rainy night is more complex, which is conducive to Yuhara's retreat.
Since Sunagakure has no intention of attacking anymore, Sunagakure's defense line on Land of Rivers is very long. It almost runs through Land of Rivers, but it is not very thick. It is mainly used to monitor Konoha's large-scale military operations, so it is not difficult for a small force like Yuhara to penetrate.
There are many ways to penetrate Sunagakure's defense line. Yuhara and the others can touch it or "fly" directly. However, before Yuhara raised the possibility of flying, Kakashi and Tenzo had already started to touch the sentry post out of inertial thinking.
A Sunagakure ninja squatted on a big tree. He stared listlessly due east, yawning from time to time... No wonder he was so lax, the Konoha envoy arrived at Sunagakure, and the news that Konoha was going to sign a peace agreement with Sunagakure had already spread.
Regardless of whether the news of Kazekage's assassination has reached the front line at this time, this kind of confidential information is not accessible to ordinary ninjas for the time being.
Then when the ninja yawned, the branches on the tree trunk suddenly turned into vines. These vines tied him tightly in an instant. His mouth was gagged and his neck was strangled. After a while, the ninja died silently.
Just using Tenzo's ability, the Yuhara team quietly passed through the Sunagakure defense line. After crossing the Kikyo Mountain line, they began to run towards the Konoha frontline camp.
At dawn, they arrived at the frontline camp. After reporting and verifying their identities, the three of them quickly met the commander here, Orochimaru.
"The fact that you appeared in this place at this time indicates that the negotiation between Konoha and Sunagakure broke down... I didn't expect you to escape." In the commander's tent, Orochimaru looked at the three Yuhara with a slightly strange expression and said.
Of course, with Orochimaru's IQ, he can tell that the mission failed. Otherwise, Yuhara and the three of them would have been sent out of the country with Sunagakure's graceful gifts, and then they would have returned directly to Konoha and would not have settled in the frontline camp. Therefore, this was not the reason for his strange expression.
Orochimaru just feels that we have never met again in life. Yuhara and Tenzo were his Test Subject a year ago, but now they have become Konoha messengers.
"Lord Orochimaru, as you said, the mission has indeed failed...Sunagakure has no sincerity in negotiating." Yuhara said.
"Well, I had expected this in advance. This is how Sunagakure does things." Orochimaru said and suddenly noticed that Yuhara was hesitant to speak, so he asked, "Are there any other problems? The failure of the negotiation is not your responsibility. Don't worry about punishment from the village."
"It's a small problem, Lord Orochimaru. While we were escaping from Sunagakure, we also assassinated Fourth Kazekage... This is not our responsibility, right?" Yuhara said.
After returning to Konoha's territory, he was a little worried about whether he would have to take responsibility for assassinating Kazekage. After all, this was indeed not the mission assigned by Third Hokage.
Then Yuhara discovered that Orochimaru's vertical pupils were staring at him.
"You three assassinated Fourth Kazekage Rasa? Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, Rasa is completely dead... Oh, there is also Sunagakure's consultant Ebizo, and his death is quite broken." Yuhara said.
As for those miscellaneous fish buried in the "sea of trees", Yuhara won't count them, because they can't be counted.
Orochimaru was definitely not blaming Yuhara for assassinating Kazekage, but at this time Yuhara couldn't guess what the other party was thinking about., he didn't know that his crow's mouth could always speak true to his words, even if it was a crow's mouth to Sunagakure, nor did he know that compared to the three young men, Orochimaru was the real ruthless person.
Orochimaru stood there quietly for a full minute, then he clapped his hands and called his adjutant, and then heard him say to the adjutant, "Organize ten elite teams immediately, and we will set off at dawn."
"Let's go? Lord Orochimaru, is there any combat mission?" The adjutant was a little confused.
Orochimaru's expression was relaxed and his eyes were level, which made his eyes look more narrow and elongated.
"It didn't exist before, but now it exists. The name of the task is...
Surprise attack Sunagakure."
