Kumogakure, Raikage building.
The long table in the conference room was slapped with a palm by Third Raikage A, causing a crack.
"What do you mean you can't even understand the principles?!"
He stood up, his two-meter-tall body casting a shadow in the dim room, and the lightning flashed faintly on his muscular arms, "What did my Kumogakure Intelligence Division do for food? Is Iwagakure such a waste? Five camps were overturned, and not even the shadow of the enemy was touched?"
Next to the long table, the future Fourth Raikage Classmate Little A said, "Father, the problem this time is not with our Intelligence Division."
"Where is that?"
"It lies in the power shown by Konoha." Dodai pushed a report to the center of the table, "This does not seem to be within the scope of Ninjutsu."
Third Raikage A's movement stopped.
"It can suddenly light up the enemy camp as bright as day at night. The light range covers several camps without any Chakra fluctuations." Classmate Little A continued, "Air blast, no flames, no fragments, pure pressure shock. Iwagakure's medical team has inspected it. All those who were attacked only had temporary tinnitus and slight internal shock, and basically recovered after a few days."
"Father, this shows that Konoha's control over this power has reached a level of precision where he can 'die if he wants you to die, and live if he wants you to live'. Moreover, the way this power is used does not require ninjas to get close to him, Hand Seals does not even need to appear on the battlefield."
The office was quiet for three seconds.
Ai slowly sat back in the chair, and the lightning dispersed.
"You go on."
"Iwagakure's technical team dismantled some remnants at the site and found some metal fragments." Classmate Little A turned to the second page of the report, "The material is unknown, the processing technology is unknown, and the purpose is unknown. The only thing that can be determined is that these things are not ninja tools, nor are they any known Chakra transmission media."
"What is that?"
"I don't know, I'm still checking."
"Father, it is speculated that Konoha may have mastered a set of power that is completely independent of the Ninjutsu system."
Ai tapped his fingers on the armrest three times.
"Independent of the Ninjutsu system." He repeated, "You mean, they achieved this effect without using Ninjutsu?"
"Maybe it's used, maybe it's not. But according to analysis, the underlying logic of this system is completely different from the Ninjutsu we know."
The thunderclouds outside the window were very low, and lightning was rolling in the clouds.
Ai stood up and walked to the window with his back to Classmate Little A.
"Send extra manpower to Land of Fire." His voice was low, "I want to know what Konoha is doing."
"But father... based on our current relationship with Konoha, will doing this..."
"The cooperation in the past was all for the benefit of the village. Could it be that because of the cooperation, there will be no war in the future? Okay, let's go." Ai waved his hand.
"Yes, father."
Sunagakure, Kazekage's Office.
Rasa was sitting at the table, with seven or eight pieces of information sent from different channels in front of him. Each piece was marked with the same word in red pen - "unknown power".
Granny Chiyo and Ebizo were sitting at the bottom, and everyone had serious expressions on their faces.
"Sister, Iwagakure is in complete chaos over there." Ebizo said, "Ōnoki directly recalled all the troops on the Land of Fire border."
"Normal." Chiyo did not raise his head and stopped his finger on a certain piece of information. "If it were me, I wouldn't know how to deal with it."
"What Konoha showed this time is beyond common sense." Rasa sighed, "Without ninjas and without Chakra fluctuations, Ōnoki's troops can be played around. If this kind of power is used on future battlefields..."
"It will be a massacre." Chiyo took over, "A one-sided massacre."
There was silence in the office for a moment.
"Do you think this is some secret technique left by the Senju Clan?" Ebizo suddenly asked.
"Impossible." Chiyo shook her head, "No matter how powerful the secret technique is, it is still Ninjutsu in the final analysis. And this..." She put down the information in her hand, "This is not Ninjutsu, it is more like... the power of another system."
Ebizo's brows furrowed even deeper.
"Another system?"
"Yes." Chiyo stood up and walked to the window, "Do you still remember the legend of Sage of Six Paths?"
"Sister, you mean..."
"I didn't mean that Konoha found Sage of Six Paths's inheritance." Chiyo interrupted him, "First Limb Regeneration, then Ninja Academy system reform, and now there is this unknown force. I mean, there may be a power system in this world that we don't understand. And Konoha may have touched the edge of that system."
"Send more spies to Konoha." Rasa said, "No matter the cost, we also need to know what Konoha is doing."
"Yes, I agree." Chiyo and Ebizo both nodded.
Konoha, Public Security Department.
Shisui placed the three portfolios in front of Senju Chen.
"Minister, this is the spy caught in the past three days."
Senju Chen raised his eyelids and glanced, but did not reach out to take it.
"The first batch, Iwagakure." Shisui opened the first file, "Three people, disguised as caravan guards, were found at the entrance of the village. They were carrying miniature communication scrolls. The mission goal was to get close to the outside of the Public Security Department and record the entry and exit of the people."
"Second batch?"
"Kumogakure." Shisui's tone paused, "Two people, disguised as wandering ninjas, wanted to sneak into the ninja shop to get information. They were caught by our people outside the Anbu training ground."
Senju Chen tapped his fingers twice on the table.
"The third batch."
"Kirigakure." Shisui pushed the third file over, "This batch is a little different."
Senju Chen finally reached for the file and opened the first page.
The photo shows a man in his thirties, smoothed Forehead Protector, and with a very light scar on his right arm.
Senju Chen The corners of his mouth twitched when he heard "Kirigakure"...
I sent a spy to spy on myself? But Senju Chen discovered that this time it was really not someone else who was pretending to be someone else. The spy seemed to be really his "Kirigakure", but the one he sent before.
Shisui was stunned for a moment. "Minister?"
"Nothing." Senju Chen closed the file, "These three groups of people, Iwagakure and Kumogakure, will be processed according to normal procedures. The one of Kirigakure..."
He paused.
"Put him in solitary confinement and don't let him have contact with other people."
"Yes."
Shisui turned to leave, but was stopped by Senju Chen.
"Shisui."
"Minister."
"Where's that Yamanaka Yū?" Senju Chen's voice was very calm.
"It has been handed over to the Yamanaka clan leader. The Yamanaka clan leader said that he will come to apologize some other day and said that he will dig out all the information in Yamanaka Yū's mind."
"Hmm."
After Shisui left, Senju Chen sat in a chair and looked at the sky outside the window, his eyes a little wandering.
Kirigakure sent spies to spy on Konoha.
This was normal.
But the problem is, the current Kirigakure Mizukage is himself.
Although there is nothing wrong with Kirigakure sending spies to Konoha, Senju Chen feels like he is fucked for some reason!!!
Land of Water, Kirigakure.
Mizukage's Office.
"Let Captain Anyue come to see me." Senju Chen ordered below.
"Yes."
Ten minutes later, Hozuki Anyue opened the door and came in.
"Mizukage-sama."
"Sit." Senju Chen pointed to the chair opposite.
Hozuki Anyue sat down, his expression a little unnatural.
"Captain Anyue." Senju Chen's voice was very calm, "I remember saying when I took office that all external actions of Kirigakure must be approved by me."
"Yes."
"Then who approved the spy you sent to Konoha?"
Hozuki Anyue had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
"Sir Mizukage, Konoha recently defeated the Iwagakure coalition forces at the Land of Fire border with unknown system power. I follow the usual practice..."
"Routine?" Senju Chen interrupted Hozuki Anyue's report
The office was quiet for three seconds.
"Hey, forget it, no more people are allowed to be sent to Konoha without my order." Senju Chen also knew that Hozuki Anyue could not be blamed for this.
"I have eyeliner at Konoha, I don't need you to do anything extra."
Hozuki Anyue was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head. "Yes, Master Mizukage."
"Go down."
After Hozuki Anyue left, Senju Chen leaned back in his chair, looked at the ceiling, and couldn't help cursing in his heart.
"You send spies to your own home. I really can't afford to disgrace this person!!!"
