the next day,
Two familiar figures appeared outside Konoha, it was Naraku and Yamato. After a night's rest, they set out to perform their mission again.
Fortunately, this time they were performing a simple investigation mission, and they were only assisting.
Naraku felt that this mission should be relatively simple, but when he arrived at the Land of Fire border, he didn't think so.
Land of Fire Border
Guard towers stand tall, and there are two ninjas in each guard tower who are always on guard.
Nara Lukudao frowned slightly and looked at the information in his hand.
"Sir, there have been many casualties at the border where Land of Hot Water and Land of Waves meet our country. They are already putting pressure on us, asking us to give them an explanation," a ninja kneeled on one knee and said to Lu Dao.
"It's really troublesome!" Lu Dao rubbed his swollen head. He didn't know if it was because of his age, but his headache was getting more and more serious.
Nara Lukudao, a ninja of the same period as Third Hokage, should be the grandfather of Shikamaru in terms of seniority. He is solely responsible for guarding the border.
Ever since Fourth Hokage died in battle, there has been almost no peace here on the border. Either people died here for no reason today, or a ninja from a certain ninja village will come to test it tomorrow.
Especially recently, this situation has become even worse. Even some small nearby countries dare to test Konoha.
Lu Dao knows this is because there is a strong man in the village Kage Level who became a rebel ninja.
"Have the reinforcements from the village not arrived yet?" Lu Dao said.
"Not yet. The last summons said it would arrive tomorrow at the latest."
"Tomorrow, there's still time. As for Land of Waves and Land of Hot Water, haha, let me give them an explanation in person!"
A sneer appeared on Lu Dao's old face. In fact, he knew very well that as for Land of Hot Water and Land of Waves, they would not dare to do this to Konoha even if he lent them ten courages. All this was just Kumogakure behind the scenes.
If we had encountered such a situation before, Lu Dao would definitely suggest Hokage to start a war with Kumogakure directly, but now, forget it, Konoha today does not have that strength.
He took two people to Land of Waves first, where they met Daimyo of Land of Waves, and had a heated exchange of words. Finally, after Lu Dao promised to solve the problem and find the murderer within three days, Land of Waves temporarily compromised.
The subsequent Land of Hot Water also performs the same operation.
"Haha, I didn't expect that Konoha would have such a day," Daimyo of Land of Hot Water is a fat man who looks to be in his forties.
At this time, he was sneering.
The next moment, a sturdy figure stood in front of him.
"Ninja-sama," Daimyo's attitude immediately became respectful after seeing the visitor.
With short white hair and dark skin forming a sharp contrast, Kului looked at Daimyo in front of him with a smile, enjoying the feeling of being respected.
"Land of Fire, Konoha, sooner or later it will be my Kumogakure's territory!"
Lu Dao on the other side returned to the camp with a bad expression.
After talking with Daimyo, Land of Waves and Land of Hot Water, Lu Dao confirmed one thing, that is, Kumogakure could no longer hold back.
This is not good news for today's Konoha.
"Forget it, let's leave this kind of thing to that guy Hiruzen!"
Lu Dao shook his head and then asked someone to pass the news to the village.
The next day, Naraku and Yamato rushed here. As soon as they arrived, they
He was brought to Nara Lukudao.
"Uzumaki Naraku, Tenzo,"
"He's Kushina's younger brother!"
"But, at this age?"
Lu Dao estimated that the two of them together may be less than 20 years old. He had some doubts about the strength of Naraku.
After all, Nara Lukudao has not returned to the village for a long time, and Naraku is also relatively low-key. It is normal for Lu Dao to not know his strength.
"Let's try it first and then talk!"
Although he is a little worried, he currently has too few manpower and cannot spare anyone to deal with this matter. He has no choice but to leave it to Naraku and the others.
"After all, he is a member of Anbu. No matter how powerful he is, he is not much different!" He thought in his heart, and then told about the unexplained death of someone on the border between Land of Waves and Land of Hot Water.
As for compromising to the two Daimyos, he didn't say anything about such shameless things. He just said that he would let Narakus investigate the cause and then report it to him.
"Third Hokage is a scammer. He agreed to assist, but now he is acting alone," Naraku cursed in his mind after walking out of the camp.
Although he was extremely reluctant, he had already arrived here and he didn't want to turn around and leave, so he could only continue to perform the mission.
"He died for no reason at the border between Land of Waves, Land of Hot Water and Land of Fire," Naraku carefully recalled the content of the mission and vaguely noticed something was wrong.
Then he and Yamato first came to the border of Land of Waves, where the unexplained death was.
The traces here seemed to have been cleaned up by special personnel. The two of them carefully explored here and found nothing unusual.
"Mind's Eye of the Kagura, open!"
After a slight hesitation, Naraku turned on Mind's Eye of the Kagura, and he began to carefully examine the energy changes nearby to see if he could find any clues.
But maybe because it took too long, he didn't find anything, he just felt that the Lightning Release Chakra nearby was relatively strong.
Naraku shook his head slightly, and without thinking much about it, he called Yamato and left together.
In a tavern in Land of Waves!
The two people dressed up in disguise came to this tavern to see if they could get some useful information here.
But it was obvious that they were overthinking it. Even after a whole morning, they didn't get any useful information here.
Naraku frowned slightly, thinking carefully about the unexplained death of people at the border.
Although this ninja world is very cruel and deaths often occur, the death of people mainly on the border is a bit strange.
"Land of Waves, Land of Hot Water,"
"Could it be?"
Suddenly, Naraku seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up. In order to verify his conjecture, he ran to the street and bought a simple world map.
On the map, Land of Fire is almost in the center of the world, while Land of Waves and Land of Hot Water are to the northeast of Land of Fire.
Going forward, they are Land of Lightning and Land of Water.
"Land of Lightning, Cloud Ninja!"
"It seems like they are doing something behind the scenes," Naraku thought to himself.
The country with the strongest military power among Land of Lightning and Hokage, but Naraku feels that Land of Lightning and Cloud Ninja are a group of unreasonable and bandit-like characters.
