There have been three wars in the ninja world so far. The reasons for each war are different, but in the end, all countries are fighting for their own interests.
It could also be because of the ninja system, where ninjas kill each other, creating many ruthless ninjas.
War caused by hatred, new hatred caused by war, cycle over and over again, non-stop fighting, endless war...
Of course, during the war, there were some ninja villages who did not want to participate in the war, but ended up getting involved. Just like Takigakure now, they had no intention of getting involved in the fight between Hidden Village and Kirigakure, but they were threatened by Kirigakure.
For this reason, the village chief She Yue of Takigakure specially summoned the only two people in the village, Jonin, Suien and Qingtu, to discuss countermeasures.
"Ahem..."
"Kirigakure wants to use Waterfall Gorge as a stronghold to store supplies. If we don't agree, Kirigakure will launch a war against us. What should we do now?"
Takigakure In a bright and clean room, She Yue coughed a few times and then asked.
"Alas! We certainly can't resist Kirigakure with our strength. We'd better obey Kirigakure's arrangements!"
Shaking his head, Qingtu sighed.
"Qingtu is right. If we oppose Kirigakure, we are simply asking for death."
Hearing this, Suien agreed.
"Okay!"
Nodding helplessly, She Yue could only listen to their suggestions and agree to the request made by Kirigakure.
"Suien, Shibuki How is this child doing recently?"
After settling the matter in the village, She Yue stared at Suien and suddenly asked.
"Shibuki is very sensible and practices very hard. He will definitely become an excellent leader of our Takigakure in the future."
Suien smiled slightly and responded quickly.
"Ahem... My health is not very good. From now on, the important task of protecting the village and guarding Water of the Hero will be handed over to Shibuki. I hope you can assist him well."
After coughing a few more times, She Yue turned pale, and then said softly.
"Don't worry, village chief, we will do our best!"
Hearing this, Suien and Qingtu spoke in unison.
"Okay, if there's nothing else to do, you can go back!"
Feeling a little tired, he waved his hand and said She Yue tiredly.
After hearing She Yue's words, Qingtu and Suien did not stay and slowly left the room.
After leaving the room, Suien did not go home directly like Qingtu. Instead, he found a deserted place and took out a blank scroll, and then wrote something on the scroll.
After he finished writing, he found a ninja named Xinshui and handed the scroll to him.
"Give this scroll to Ying. The information this time can definitely be sold for a good price. The old rule is that after you get the money, you get 20%."
Seeing Xinshui put away the scroll skillfully, Suien smiled.
"Don't worry! Master Suien! I promise to complete the mission!"
Knowing that he could share another sum of money, Xinshui nodded excitedly, and then quickly left in the direction of Hidden Village.
"Haha, all the talk about protecting the village is a lie. Only with money can we live a better life!"
Staring at the disappearing figure, Suien smiled unscrupulously.
Unlike before, there are now ninja teams patrolling Hidden Village's streets, village entrances, and surrounding areas all the time.
Because Kirigakure has to deal with attacks at any time, Hidden Village's defense is tighter than before. A series of bright and dark whistles will catch every movement of Hidden Village.
There are three people in the shadow office. The one sitting on the chair is naturally Uchiha Fugaku, and next to him stands his most loyal clansman Uchiha Yashiro. Opposite them is Zabuza Momochi, who has become the captain of Anbu!
"I never thought you would recruit Sasuke into Anbu!"
Putting down the Anbu member list provided by Zabuza Momochi, Uchiha Fugaku chuckled.
"There is no problem with Sasuke's strength entering Anbu. If Master Ying is not worried about Sasuke's safety, he can remove Sasuke."
Considering the relationship between Sasuke and Uchiha Fugaku, Zabuza Momochi responded.
"Forget it, let Sasuke follow you to practice at Anbu." Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku quickly waved his hand, and then said with a smile, "I will notify the people on the list and ask them to report to Anbu as soon as possible so that you can start your work!"
"In that case, thank you for your troubles, Master Ying. There are many things going on today, so I won't stay any longer."
Zabuza Momochi thanked him. After seeing Uchiha Fugaku nod, he stood up and slowly left the office.
Watching Zabuza Momochi leave, Uchiha Fugaku smiled and prepared for the next work.
"Master Kage, the ninja from Takigakure wants to see you!"
However, before Uchiha Fugaku started, a reporting ninja came in and said respectfully.
"Takigakure's ninja?"
Thinking that Hidden Village had never had any dealings with Takigakure, Uchiha Fugaku was a little surprised.
"Let him in!"
After pondering for a moment, Uchiha Fugaku then said calmly.
"Yes!"
Shortly after the notification ninja retreated, a ninja with a thin face and wearing Takigakure Forehead Protector on his head walked into the shadow office.
"Your Excellency Ying, my name is Xinshui. This is the information scroll that our Lord Takigakure Suien asked me to forward to you."
Staring at Uchiha Fugaku sitting on the chair, Xinshui took out the scroll and said respectfully.
"Information scroll?"
Taking the scroll in confusion, Uchiha Fugaku glanced at Xinshui, then opened the scroll and looked at it carefully.
Seeing what was written on the scroll, Uchiha Fugaku's expression changed drastically, and he immediately asked Xinshui: "Can the content of this information be guaranteed?"
"Suien's information is 100% accurate!"
Xinshui responded confidently without hesitation.
"I can give you the reward. If it is true, I can add another eight million taels in the future!"
He took out a wad of banknotes from the drawer and threw Uchiha Fugaku to Xinshui.
"Then thank you Lord Ying!"
After putting the money away, Xinshui said with great excitement.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can leave!"
Still feeling uneasy because of the content on the scroll, Uchiha Fugaku waved his hand.
"Clan leader, what information did he provide?"
After Xinshui left with a smile, Uchiha Yashiro asked in confusion.
"On the intelligence scroll, Kirigakure is preparing to place the materials prepared for the war in Land of Waterfalls's Waterfall Gorge."
After hearing Uchiha Yashiro's question, Uchiha Fugaku said slowly.
"What? Such important information?"
After Uchiha Fugaku finished speaking, Uchiha Yashiro was very shocked.
You must know that this information can completely determine the victory of the next war between Hidden Village and Kirigakure. As long as Kirigakure really puts the supplies on Waterfall Gorge, and then Hidden Village sends people to destroy it, then Hidden Village can win without a fight!
