Because the war between Kumogakure and Konoha happened so quickly, so quickly that the various countries didn't know what Konoha and Kumogakure had done, and the war ended.
In order to find out the truth, spies from various countries flocked to Konoha, with the aim of finding out the reason why Kumogakure was defeated at such a rapid speed.
Konoha would naturally not sit idly by. A large number of ninjas were sent out to guard the border, and at the same time, Anbu were sent out to capture spies in the country.
Due to the separation of the training team and the Anbu, the Fourth Generation Anbu was short of many people and lacked manpower, so Nagase sent the fourth group led by Shisui to assist the Anbu.
Shisui led the fourth team and joined the Anbu's operation to eliminate the Fire Country's spies, serving as deputy commander.
"Team Leader Shisui, three ANBU members disappeared in Starfall Valley and there has been no contact for more than two days." The intelligence officer reported the latest intelligence to Shisui.
"Has it been more than two days..." Shisui frowned slightly. There are three ANBU members here. There are only four people in an ANBU team including the squad leader.
"You go down first, I'll go find Captain Nakamura." Shisui said after thinking for a while.
Nakamura Hiko is the captain of the newly formed second team of the Fourth Generation Anbu, as well as the commander-in-chief of this operation and a senior Anbu member.
Taking the paper information, Shisui went to Nakamura Hiko.
Shisui quickly told Nakamura Hiko the information, and then said, "This is a bit unusual. I want to personally lead someone to investigate."
"It's really strange that three Anbu could disappear at the same time without even being able to pass on a message." Nakamura Hiko nodded solemnly.
The members of the Anbu are not stubborn. If they cannot win, they will find a way to escape. If they cannot escape, they will find a way to pass on information.
"Shisui-kun, please go there."
Although the boy in front of him still had a very young face, like a ninja school student who had not graduated for two years, Nakamura Hiko did not dare to underestimate him.
The training team and the fourth generation of Anbu are in the same boat and have a deep understanding of each other.
For example, the strength of the leaders of the four groups of the training team. Needless to say, Kakashi, the leader of the first group, suppressed the Two-Tails Jinchuriki alone on the battlefield.
Although the team leaders of Group 2 and Group 3 are not as good as Kakashi, they are all elites among the jonin and cannot be compared with ordinary jonin.
As for the leader of Group 4, Uchiha Shisui, Nakamura Hiko had heard before that Shisui and Kakashi were almost as powerful.
He didn't know if Shisui could defeat the Jinchuriki, but he was definitely stronger than him.
"It's my duty. No matter how much trouble it is, it's not a big deal." Shisui said with a smile.
After discussing with Nakamura Hiko, Shisui quickly gathered two members of the fourth team.
One of them was Uchiha Ye, a member of his clan, and the other was a member of his team whom he admired more, named Yoshino Hisa, who had a good level of Six Styles and a calm personality.
Shisui briefly explained the situation to the two men, then quickly took them to the Starfall Valley in the southern part of the Fire Nation.
"According to the records, Starfall Valley existed a long time ago. A star fell from the sky and created a big hole. It should be a meteorite. As for how long ago, the records don't say.
Apart from this record, there is very little other information. There are only records from the last few hundred years, all of which say that this place has a large number of poisonous insects and fierce beasts, and there is also a strange magnetic field. Electronic equipment cannot be used there. It is a forbidden area for humans..."
On the way, Shisui talked to his two team members about the information he had found about Starfall Valley.
“Poisonous insects and fierce beasts are certainly dangerous to ordinary people, but they should be nothing to ninjas, not to mention that the missing ones are the elites of the Anbu.
I think this disappearance is more likely to be related to several other major countries, especially the Water Country, which is a big suspect." Uchiha Ye analyzed.
The Fire Nation is more developed in the north and central parts, and that's where people gather. As for the south, it's a remote rural area with not many people.
The reason why the Water Country is highly suspected is that during the Third Ninja World War, the Water Country directly used ferries to launch a large-scale attack on the east coast of the Fire Country.
Whether turning south from the east coast or sneaking directly across from the south coast, people from the Water Kingdom can enter the south.
When problems arise in the South, the first place that must be considered is the Water Kingdom.
"That's what I think. Among the four major countries, the Water Country is the most suspicious." Yoshino Hisa followed.
"That's why I brought you here personally. If there are any arrangements left by the Water Kingdom in Starfall Valley, they must be destroyed." Shisui nodded.
Shisui felt relieved that his team members were not the kind of reckless men who only had strength. The Uchiha clan lacked people who could think rationally.
If the predecessors of the Uchiha clan had been more rational in thinking before taking action, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village would not be so strained.
If it was just an unexpected situation and the three Anbu were safe, then that would be good. If it was a problem left over from the Third Ninja World War, then it should be resolved.
The speed of ninjas was very fast. The three of them traveled quickly by bursting chakra and arrived near Starfall Valley in two days.
Zhishui looked towards Xingluo Valley. The topography of Xingluo Valley was almost the same as described, with two slopes on the left and right, and a sunken middle. The area became lower as it got closer to the middle. There was also a small slope with a peculiar shape in the middle, connecting the three slopes together and surrounding most of Xingluo Valley.
"We're about to enter Starfall Valley, so be careful," Shisui reminded.
For some reason, he had a vague bad feeling and felt that something was not quite right here.
But Shisui didn't think too much about it and just thought that he was not in good condition today.
"Don't worry, Team Leader Shisui, we will definitely be 100% serious." Uchiha Ye said, then took out a gas mask and put it on his head.
Yoshino nodded and took out a gas mask and put it on his face.
Because it was a deserted place with a large number of poisonous insects and fierce beasts, Shisui was afraid that there might be miasma harmful to the human body, so he asked them all to wear gas masks.
Shisui also put on a gas mask. Shisui took the lead, and Uchiha Ye and Yoshino Hisa followed Shisui and ran towards Starfall Valley.
… … …
Starfall Valley, a place that was originally dark and silent, suddenly flashed with a blue light.
"Zizizi... Two people with dangerous aura detected... Requesting evacuation..."
“Flight system not responding… Requesting repair… Automatic repair system not responding…”
"Zizizi... Evacuation failed... Requesting long-range strike... Weapon system unresponsive..."
A large amount of red light filled the originally dark control room.
Finally, with a roar, a stone covered with green moss on the small slope in the middle opened like a door.
