?"The two advisors have given me the award..."
Hearing the compliments from Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, Yu was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no emotion on his calm face.
At the same time, Yu also secretly observed Danzo sitting silently in the corner.
Since becoming Third Hokage's disciple, Danzo and Gen's people have never caused trouble to him again. Yu couldn't help but wonder if this old fox had given up on recruiting him.
"Ahem..."
At this time, Third Hokage coughed slightly, attracting the attention of everyone present.
"Yu, we called you here today because we have a very special task for you."
Special mission? Sure enough...
Hearing this, Yu's eyes flashed, knowing that the key point of this summons was coming.
"Some time ago, after Konoha Ninja's bloody battle on the front line..."
"The Ninja World war finally produced a favorable result for our village..."
After organizing the language a little, Third Hokage said straight to the point, "Sand Ninja was defeated, and their Fourth Kazekage has agreed to the peace terms we proposed."
Sunagakure was defeated...
After hearing the news from Third Hokage, Yu was unmoved.
As a time traveler, he actually knows the direction of this war better than Third Hokage.
This war greatly damaged Konoha's vitality, and it had a huge impact on Sand Ninja. During the Third Shinobi World War period, Land of Wind became famous because of Sunagakure Ninja Village failed to negotiate a peace, significantly reduced the village's investment, and handed over the task to Konoha instead, forcing Sunagakure to embark on the path of elite cultivation, and deepened the conflict between the two ninja villages that already had a gap.
The birth of One-Tail Jinchuriki Gaara in the original work was a product that appeared under this special background.
"But our two villages have been at war with each other for many years and have long-standing grievances..."
"This time Sand Ninja agreed to negotiate peace conditions, and it is very likely that this is a strategy to make us paralyzed."
Danzo, who had been sitting next to him silently, suddenly spoke up and took over the topic of Third Hokage. He stared at Yu in front of him with his deep left eye and whispered, "And you, Yakushi Hane, are not only the disciple of Sarutobi, but also the adopted son of Yakushi Nonō."
"Yakushi Nonō was once the most outstanding espionage ninja under my command. You are her child, so you should have inherited her espionage talent to some extent."
"Reliable information is sometimes more lethal than powerful ninjutsu and weapons."
"So for this mission, we hope that you can infiltrate Sunagakure as a spy to find out whether the information on Sand Ninja's peace negotiation is true."
Me?
When a spy infiltrates Sunagakure?
After listening to what Danzo said, Yu's pupils suddenly shrank.
What is Sunagakure? Land of Wind Sunagakure Ninja Village! That is one of Five Great Shinobi Villages!
Sneaking into such a den of dragons and tigers alone is believed to be a narrow escape mission for any ninja.
However, if it is Sunagakure...
Maybe I can find what I want...
Thinking of this, Yu's originally shrinking mind suddenly became firm.
"Yes! I will definitely not let Lord Hokage and the three senior executives down!"
With almost no hesitation, Yu directly accepted this extremely dangerous mission.
"Very good, get ready and you can set off tomorrow!"
Seeing that Yu accepted the task without hesitation, the three Konoha High Command present nodded with satisfaction.
Ninjas who can immediately accept such dangerous tasks are rare even in the entire Konoha.
"Yu, the difficulty of this mission is S level."
"At your age, this may be too harsh for you."
Only Third Hokage looked at Yu with some worry at this time, with a struggling look on his face, "But considering that you are a medical ninja and you have excellent combat capabilities."
"And age can be a good disguise, so..."
If it weren't for the fact that other ninjas cannot replace Yu's condition, Third Hokage would never take the risk to let a promising young ninja like Yu perform such a dangerous task as infiltrating an enemy ninja village.
"Don't worry, Teacher Sarutobi."
"After all, I am the disciple you like. You must believe in my ability."
However, how could Third Hokage know what Yu was thinking in his heart? He only saw Yu blinking at him easily, and then disappeared in an instant.
"So fast Body Flicker Technique!"
Seeing how quickly Yu left, the two Konoha High Command consultants couldn't help but sigh again.
Although Yu only used the ordinary Body Flicker Technique, the ordinary Anbu Ninja could not disappear without a trace like him.
"Hmph... has this kid grown up again?"
Seeing Yu's inadvertently revealed strength, Danzo snorted coldly, his eyes becoming colder again.
"But Sunagakure is not a wandering Paradise. If your genius disciple unfortunately dies this time..."
"Don't resent us then, Sarutobi..."
The next day, Land of Wind.
Sunagakure Ninja Village, the huge conference hall was falling into oppressive silence.
"Lord Kazekage!!"
"Are we really going to surrender to Konoha?!"
Finally, a Sunagakure jounin couldn't bear it any longer and broke the silence with an excited expression.
"Please watch your words!"
"Lord Kazekage naturally has his own decisions and considerations!"
Seeing this ninja's roar, Baki standing next to Fourth Kazekage immediately opened his mouth to scold him.
Although he is only seventeen years old, Baki, who is extremely talented, is already the jounin of Sunagakure.
"As of now..."
"Do we have any other better ways?"
Facing this ninja's question, Fourth Kazekage Rasa frowned deeply.
Facing the defeat, facing the village and the country, while feeling tremendous pressure, Rasa also felt deeply unwilling.
"Konoha is stronger than us. After our defeat, the daimyo continued to cut funds, causing the village's combat power to continue to decline..."
"For the present plan, negotiating peace and forming an alliance with Konoha is the only way out."
If...Sasori of the Red Sands hadn't run away...
If...Third Kazekage hadn't disappeared...
Could the outcome of this war... be different?
Glancing at Chiyo who was sitting next to him with an expressionless face as if he had fallen asleep, Fourth Kazekage Rasa couldn't help but ask Chunin silently.
"Okay, the matter is over, there is no way out except negotiating peace and forming an alliance with Konoha!"
However, at this time, Chiyo, who seemed to have fallen asleep next to him, suddenly spoke and made a decision directly, "But the ninjas of Sunagakure will not be defeated because of this. Since the daimyo has reduced funds..."
"Then we will devote ourselves to cultivating a small number of elite ninjas in the village! Continue to maintain Sunagakure's status as one of the top five ninja villages!"
Damn...
The ninjas of Sunagakure were unwilling to give in, but they had no room to reject the decision jointly made by Fourth Kazekage and Chiyo.
But no one knows...
Taking advantage of the fatigue of Sunagakure's defeat, a young man with a special purpose has stepped into the territory of Land of Wind.
