Therefore, with Minato Namikaze's reminder, Kushina Uzumaki, Hatake Kakashi, and the others could easily discover the dried blood hidden in the soil at the border of the Land of Water!

However, when Kushina Uzumaki, Hatake Kakashi Hatake Kakashi, and the others discovered the dried blood in the soil at the border of the Land of Water, their feelings became complicated.

On one hand, Kushina Uzumaki, Hatake Kakashi, and the others were somewhat relieved, since they did not find Uchiha Yue's body at the border of the Land of Water.

On the other hand, Kushina Uzumaki, Hatake Kakashi, and the others couldn't help but worry about Uchiha Yue, because the trouble Uchiha Yue had caused was beyond their ability to cover up!

Thus, with extremely complex emotions, Minato Namikaze, the captain of the Special Team, as well as Kushina Uzumaki, Hatake Kakashi, and the others, remained silent for a long time, none of them speaking first. Finally, Minato Namikaze took a deep breath, shifted his gaze to Kushina Uzumaki, Hatake Kakashi, and the others in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Kushina, Kakashi, Choza, Inoichi, don't be silent, tell me your thoughts!"

"An idea?"

Hearing Minato Namikaze's words, a bitter smile appeared on Kushina Uzumaki's lips Minato Kushina Uzumaki, I really don't know what to say now. I never imagined that Light would grow so much during his training trip! If I'm not mistaken, this blood isn't Light's, but rather the blood of the Kirigakure guarding the border of the Land of Water. To be able to fight against the Kirigakure ninja guarding the border of the Land of Water single-handedly, Light's strength is truly beyond our imagination."

"I suddenly realize that bringing Yue back might not be so simple!"

"Kushina, there's probably more to worry about than just this!"

Just after Kushina Uzumaki finished her exclamation, Inoichi Yamanaka, whose mind was always calm, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Minato, Kushina, we are all friends of Light, and our first concern is probably Light's safety and the mission we are about to carry out. But have you considered that Light has caused a lot of trouble! Would Kirigakure only send a few ninja teams to guard the border of the Land of Water? Therefore, it's highly likely that Light wiped out the Kirigakure ninja force on the border before infiltrating into the Land of Water!"

"Moon's actions are enough to provoke a war between our Konoha and the Kirigakure!"

"I feel it's necessary for us to report this matter."

"This concerns the safety of our Konoha; we absolutely cannot be careless!"

Then, Inoichi Yamanaka's gaze fell on Hatake Kakashi, and he said, "Kakashi, the mission to deliver the intelligence will likely fall to you. I think you should know that you are the weakest among us. The fact that Yue was able to annihilate the entire Kirigakure ninja force means that Yue's strength is beyond your current capabilities. Therefore, I feel that you should return to the village now to deliver the intelligence. As for the mission we are to carry out, let me, Minato, Kushina, and Choza handle it for now!"

"Minato, Inoichi's point is very valid; we should do it this way."

When Inoichi Yamanaka arrived, Choza Akimichi, also a member of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, nodded directly to Minato Namikaze and said, "Minato, I know your, Kushina's, and Kakashi's feelings for the moon. However, this concerns the war between Konoha and Kirigakure, so don't hesitate any longer. Listen to Inoichi and have Kakashi deliver the information back!"

"Okay, I understand."

Even Choza Akimichi was like this, Minato Namikaze could only nod helplessly. He then said to Hatake Kakashi, "Kakashi, do as Inoichi says. But there's one thing you must remember, Kakashi. When you return to the village, immediately pass the information to Lady Tsunade, and then to the head of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fugaku. After Lady Tsunade and Uchiha Fugaku know about this, then inform the Third Hokage. Kakashi, you must remember my words, understand?"

"Yes, I understand."

As a member of the Hatake Clan, Hatake Kakashi was no fool, so he understood why Minato Namikaze had given him such instructions.

Clearly, Minato Namikaze's reminder to Hatake Kakashi stemmed from his concern for Uchiha Yue's safety. Just like Inoichi Yamanaka's earlier warning, the trouble Uchiha Yue had caused in the Land of Water was immense. Unless Tsunade or the Uchiha Clan could provide him with strong support Uchiha Yue, even if Minato Namikaze and the others managed to bring Uchiha Yue back to Konoha, Uchiha Yue would likely face certain death.

Immediately afterwards...

Minato Namikaze's special team was reduced from five to four members.

Of these, the weakest Hatake Kakashi, returned to Konoha to deliver intelligence, leaving only Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, Inoichi Yamanaka, and Choza Akimichi to continue their journey.

Of course, it was also thanks to Uchiha Yue annihilating the Kirigakure ninjas on the border of the Land of Water that Minato Namikaze and the others were able to enter the Land of Water so easily. However, after Minato Namikaze and the others actually entered the Land of Land of Water saw what Uchiha Yue was doing Minato Namikaze, they realized just how insane Uchiha Yue truly was.

"The moon's anger, it's truly something else!"

Looking at the corpses of the Kirigakure they had just discovered, Kushina Uzumaki frowned deeply and said to Minato Namikaze and the others before her, "We've only been in the Land of Water for a short time, and we've already found over a dozen Kirigakure corpses. If I'm not mistaken, these Kirigakure ninjas seem to have been out on a mission. Is Light going to exterminate even Kirigakure on missions?"

Or perhaps...

"Or perhaps, the moon is staging a protest!"

Before Kushina Uzumaki could finish speaking, Minato Namikaze sighed deeply and said, "Alas, Yue is far too reckless. His actions are tantamount to declaring war on the entire Kirigakure. Moreover, I don't know if you've noticed, but every dead Kirigakure ninja has strange symbols tattooed on their bodies by Yue. When those symbols are strung together, they happen to mean 'Asura'!"

"Now, Kirigakure fact that Yue is so openly killing Kirigakure and even tattooing his own Anbu code name on their bodies shows that Yue has no intention of hiding his whereabouts."

"I think Kirigakure will take action soon!"

"After all, the mighty Kirigakure (Hidden Kirigakure) cannot stand by and watch a mere ninja demonstrate in its territory!"

"Moon."

"This is really dangerous!"
