The Chaos in the Hidden Mist
On the East Coast of the Land of Fire, a dozen or so ships bearing the Hidden Mist insignia were moored at the shore, and dozens of Hidden Mist Anbu Ninja disembarked.
"Lord Fuguki, the Mizukage has already made peace with Konoha, and the two sides are allies. Isn't it inappropriate for us to do this?"
Even after arriving in the Land of Fire, a member of the Hidden Mist Anbu couldn't help but try to dissuade Suikazan Fuguki from his stubbornness.
Suikazan Fuguki suffered a crushing defeat in the great battle against Konoha, barely escaping with his life. He was extremely dissatisfied with the Mizukage negotiations, and was further enraged by Uchiha Nara's two pursuits.
Amidst the chaotic situation in Hidden Mist, Suikazan Fuguki, as one of the major powers in Hidden Mist, arbitrarily stamped the Mizukage's seal on a mission scroll, forging orders and sending his Anbu to the Land of Fire to cause trouble.
The Hidden Mist's Anbu knew a bit about the Mizukage and believed that the Mizukage shouldn't be doing these things, which is why they couldn't help but question Suikazan Fuguki.
"Fool, this is the order given by Lord Mizukage. We just need to carry it out."
There are several Mizukage Seals of the Water Suikazan Fuguki. Just make fake ones and post fake tasks. At worst, you can just pay some of your own money as task rewards.
Suikazan Fuguki has reluctantly invested a considerable amount of money to prepare for another water-fire war in the Land of Fire.
To give the Fourth Mizukage some amusement, so he won't be Tenten thinking about consolidating power and suppressing others.
Suikazan Fuguki knew perfectly well that one or two could be treated as missing-nin. But there were dozens of elite Hidden Mist Anbu; even if the Fourth Mizukage denied it, Konoha wouldn't believe him.
"Isobu, the Three-Tails, has already located the location. We'll capture a Konoha Ninja to use as Jinchuriki."
When the Jinchuriki cause chaos in Konoha and greatly weaken the Konoha, that will be our chance for revenge.
Tetsuma, Sanma, Fuma, the three of you go and carry out this mission: capture a Konoha Ninja.
When the Suikazan Fuguki spoke, his mouth was full of sharp teeth like a shark's, and he gave orders and made arrangements.
"Hi" X3
The three members of the Hidden Mist Anbu obeyed the order and proceeded directly forward.
Military Police Force Headquarters
"Hayata, send someone to keep an eye on Nohara Rin, especially on any missions she undertakes outside the village."
Naraku instructed Uchiha Hayata, the head of the Intelligence Division, who was standing before him.
"Yes, Lord Naraku, Nohara Rin is Hatake Kakashi's teammate. Are you planning to secretly retrieve the Sharingan? Actually, there's no need for such trouble. We have a way to do it silently."
Naraku interrupted Hayata could finish speaking:
"No, you just need to focus on Nohara Rin, especially her mission outside the Nohara Rin. Hatake Kakashi is Sakumo's son and a gift from Obito."
"Let him have it for now. I'll take it back if I need it later, but not now. Keep an eye on all of Nohara Rin's missions outside the village, understand?"
Uchiha Hayata was somewhat confused by the instructions given by clan leader Naraku, but he still obediently agreed:
"Hi!"
"Hatake Kakashi transplanted our Uchiha Sharingan, and his Chakra has been depleted over time. His potential is almost exhausted. What a waste of a talent."
Upon hearing Naraku's words, Uchiha Hayata couldn't help but feel indignant and retorted:
"Why praise Kakashi, clan leader? Shisui and Tekka are both younger Kakashi, but their combat strength is no less than his. Why pay attention to him?"
"Hehe, you're right. Go ahead and keep an eye on Nohara Rin for me."
Naraku smiled slightly, offering no further explanation.
"Hi!"
Hayata turned and left the head of the Security Department's office.
Watching Hayata's departing figure, Naraku stroked his chin, lost in thought.
Obito's teammates Hatake Kakashi and Nohara Rin are both fine at the moment. Obito's Sharingan, which has great potential, should not have evolved yet.
As long as we keep an eye on Nohara Rin, we can rescue her when the time comes. If Obito is nearby, we can Obito back to Konoha.
As part of a mutual aid agreement between Naraku and Karatachi Yagura, two Uchiha squads were dispatched to serve as ANBU (Anbu) in Kirigakure (Anbu Kirigakure) under Yagura's employment.
Yagura openly relayed information to Uchiha Nara, but Yagura didn't pay much attention to it; the situation in Kirigakure was even more chaotic than Naraku had imagined.
There are many strongholds in the Hidden Mist Mountain, and many ninjas have died in the Ninja War, but the leaders of those major forces are still alive, and assassination attempts frequently occur.
"Blue, are you the only one in your team who has mastered Ice Release?"
"The office is empty," Naraku said softly.
A ninja dressed in the uniform of the Konoha Military Police Force's Special Police Division, completely covered up, appeared Body Flicker Technique.
"Yes, Lord Naraku, awakening Ice Release is not easy. Those who have awakened Ice Release are the elite members of our Yuki Clan."
"Alright, I'll leave the guard to you."
"It is my duty, Naraku, please don't be so polite."
Lan was very humble, and Naraku greatly admired this Yuki Clan ninja. In fact, one could say that Naraku admired all humble and cautious ninjas.
"Okay, let's keep hiding."
"Hi!"
Karatachi Yagura hired Uchiha ninjas, and Naraku also hired Kirigakure Ninja —a small team from the Yuki Clan, a Hidden Mist team skilled in assassination.
Karatachi Yagura didn't understand Naraku's recruitment of the Yuki Clan at all. He thought that the Hidden Mist ninjas were powerful and that he had originally planned to send more to Naraku, but they came here to collect their salaries.
Naraku was also unconcerned about the leaks of some information. In the Konoha Military Police Force, most of the information concerned the Uchiha. They knew too much about the Uchiha could only appreciate their strength.
A hidden ice-style ninja named Lan deeply admires the strength of the Uchiha clan of Konoha.
"If only our Yuki Clan could also control the Military Police Force in Kirigakure."
Naraku silent and began examining the scrolls on his desk. The information Hayata had passed on was mostly related to the Uchiha, or the situation in various countries of the Shinobi World, or some information about important figures.
For Naraku, its greatest function was to observe people Naraku on, or to exchange information with the Yuho City.
"Chakra Armor sales are good, mostly purchased by the Daimyo of the Five Great Nations?"
A smile crept onto Naraku's lips as he looked at the first scroll.
The Chakra Armor they developed was sold by a samurai from the Land of Fire named Chubei.
This samurai went out wearing Chakra Armor, completely unafraid of wandering ninjas and the like, and cherished the Chakra Armor like a precious treasure.
Originally, Fugaku was in charge of the Chakra Armor, but due to the Ninja War, this task was later handed over to Uchiha Rettou. It is unknown where Reto found a representative.
They acted with great reliability. One hundred sets of the Chakra Armor were sold in the Capital City of the Land of Fire, and the other four great Daimyo purchased a total of one hundred and fifty sets.
The scroll states that the Guardian Ninja and samurai of the Land of Fire's Capital City highly valued Chakra Armor, and after the Daimyo purchased one hundred sets, he ordered another one hundred.
"If we sell too much, and the Land of Fire Daimyo becomes too powerful, won't he have some inappropriate ideas?"
Naraku looked at the intelligence report, he couldn't help but think of the Daimyo of the Land of Snow in his memory.
The First Hokage of Chakra Armor had mediocre performance, Naraku didn't think much of it, so he didn't equip his guards with it on a large scale.
Naraku flipped through the page and read the message, which stated that the Chakra Armor had undergone several years of research and development, resulting in a significant leap in performance.
"A leap in performance? We need to get two sets to check. The Chakra Armor from Yuho City is very lucrative; we should send a strong ninja to guard it."
"Inabi has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and is incredibly powerful. He's been with me for so many years, it's time to delegate some authority and let him gain some experience..."
