"Why did you stop me just now? Fuka, you should know what this operation means for our three families..."
After the meeting concluded.
Two figures stepped out from inside.
Kaguya Mashin looked at Minazuki Fuuka with a hint of barely suppressed anger and said.
Their strength is clearly no less than that of the Sand Ninja.
Although Rasa is very strong.
But they managed to hold on before, didn't they!?
Now, with the addition of Minazuki Fuuka Kamijuya Nishizora, both considered strong among Jonin, their combined strength should at least guarantee a draw, if not a victory!
Especially with the Swift Release of Kamijuya Nishizora, when it was unleashed at full power, reaching its extreme speed, Mashin did not believe that Rasa could react so easily.
So what if it can fly!?
They have gathered incredibly powerful Kekkei Genkai here, including Shikotsumyaku Pulse, Ice Release, and Swift Release. A draw is an understatement by Mashin himself; at least that's what he believes!
However, before Mashin could finish speaking, Fuka interrupted him by shaking her head once again.
" Mashin, this operation is indeed very important for our three clans, but don't forget, we are also Mist Ninja, and we still need the village's support. Besides, didn't you see that Nishizora- kun fully agreed with and supported Suikazan- san's proposal? The Land of Rivers has been taken, and the lion's share of the benefits will ultimately belong to our three clans. Let's not force things over some minor details!"
What Fuka said actually makes a lot of sense.
But that only represents half of her thoughts.
The remaining half naturally didn't want to see their three clans clash with the Suikazan Fuguki.
Kaguya Mashin heard Fuka's words.
He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and nodded reluctantly, saying, "Yes, I understand what you mean. Let's leave it at that for now. But I won't budge an inch later. I hope you can stick to that, Fuka!"
Kaguya Mashin's eyes widened to their maximum at that moment, staring intently at Minazuki Fuuka in the opposite seat.
Fuka certainly understood what Mashin meant by those words.
At that moment, I let out a soft sigh in my heart.
But outwardly, he nodded emphatically and said, "Of course I understand that, and I know my place, Mashin- san, please rest assured!"
If we had to find a comparison, Minazuki Fuuka's position and status within the clan, as well as her mindset, are somewhat similar to that of Shisui Uchiha. Of course, she hasn't reached Shisui's level yet, acting as a high-level spy for Yagura, transmitting information about her own clan!
She simply hoped that the Yuki Clan, along with Kaguya and Hozuki Clan, could share the village's fate and develop harmoniously.
However, it seems that things haven't reached the point where we really need to worry.
Fuka still believed that her Mizukage was a reasonable person, and that her three clans were definitely not the kind of ninja clans that would act recklessly. Moreover, with Genji in charge of the village, the worst-case scenario would definitely not occur!
This is Fuka's opinion, or more accurately, her earnest hope!
"Yes, that would be wonderful!"
Kaguya Mashin glanced deeply at Minazuki Fuuka before turning and striding away. He still had to assign tasks to his little ones.
Fuka watched Mashin's departing figure, sighed deeply once again, and then turned and strode off in another direction.
A small outpost.
The previous Sunagakure was built to accommodate a hundred people. After all, the number of Sand Ninja stationed there was usually only forty or fifty, and normally it was twenty or thirty. Even considering other factors, it was impossible to build it too extravagantly.
But with the arrival of the Mist Ninja.
The situation is different then.
Although two or three hundred people will be dispatched in succession to simultaneously build reconnaissance and defense bases to engage in a tug-of-war with the Sand Ninja.
However, there will still be a good five or six hundred Mist Ninja left at this base.
And this would have to be a long-term deployment.
It's impossible that they would just set up some simple tents. Even though ninjas are used to sleeping in the open, there's no need for them to make do with what they have when conditions allow.
The capital of the Land of Rivers is right next door.
Getting some basic supplies is easy, right?
Therefore, over the past few days, with the continuous supply of resources from the Land of Rivers and the cooperation of some Earth Release ninjas in the team,
The entire stronghold has been expanded four or five times!
It was large enough to accommodate all the Mist Ninja who had arrived, and a simple sensory-type reconnaissance barrier was set up on the outer perimeter at a considerable distance.
It serves no other purpose than as a preventative measure.
Fuka followed the road on the left.
Upon arriving at the area assigned to them by the Yuki Clan members, they were greeted by a slightly short figure standing in front of them, waiting for them.
This figure.
It was none other than Qi!
When Fuka saw Qi Shi, she was subconsciously taken aback. It wasn't for any other reason, but because she had originally planned to call this young man, who was now quite famous in her clan, over for a chat after the meeting.
Unexpectedly, Qi came to find them on his own initiative.
He was clearly waiting for her here on purpose! It couldn't possibly be a chance encounter, could it?
In fact, Fuka's guess was quite accurate; Qi really was waiting for her here.
For some reason, Suikazan Fuguki didn't invite him to today's strategic meeting, unlike the one a few days ago.
However, Qi could still guess the general content of the meeting.
Qi had some understanding of the attitudes of the others, but he didn't know what kind of personality his own Jonin senior was.
Based on this, Qi felt it was necessary to have a talk with Fuka.
Previously, we might have felt that the time wasn't right.
But things are different now.
A full year as a ninja has allowed Qi to learn and understand many things, and his current strength is barely enough to participate in a larger stage!
The smoke of battle has already risen on the eve of the Third Shinobi World War!
Qi definitely needs to take action.
Within one's own clan.
Qi felt that this Jonin was the best target to approach!
" Fuka Sang!"
Upon seeing Fuka, Qi took the initiative to step forward and bow slightly in greeting.
"Hehe, it seems Qi Jun has been waiting for me? That's perfect, I was just planning to have a good chat with you anyway!"
Fuka looked at Qi, who was standing nearby, and a faint glimmer of light appeared in her beautiful eyes.
At less than nine years old, he had developed his clan's Ice Release Kekkei Genkai to such a high level, and his personal strength surpassed that of Jonin. It also seems that he has some connection with the village's Genji.
To say that Fuka doesn't care or isn't interested would be absolutely false!
