"Lord Red Earth, the town has been controlled."
A chuunin appeared, knelt down on one knee, and reported to the Iwa nin who spoke.
Hongtu stood with his hands behind his hands and said slowly: "Don't hurt too many civilians. They are also needed as a requisitioned labor force to prepare a resting place for the troops behind."
"yes."
The chuunin responded and immediately went to convey the order.
Hongtu glanced at the pale Urabe Daisuke and some senior officials of Shuoyue Town who had been captured, and waved his hand, indicating that they were all imprisoned.
At this moment, another ninja dodged to the ground and said: "Report to Lord Red Earth, there is no news about the Huoguang Jonin and the others."
"How come there isn't?"
Hongtu raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "The commission they received from the Country of Grass should have been completed a few days ago. Keep looking. If you find it, inform them. There is no need to go back to the village to hand over the task. Come directly to the frontline camp. , join the advance team."
"yes!"
The ninja responded and quickly disappeared.
Urabe Daisuke's eyes froze slightly when he heard Hongtu's words. He vaguely thought of something, glanced at Hongtu cautiously, and did not say anything after hesitation.
However, his actions as an ordinary person would naturally not be concealed by Hongtu, who was an elite Jonin. Just a strange look in his eyes was immediately noticed by Hongtu.
"etc."
Hongtu stopped the ninja who was about to escort Urabe Daisuke and others, looked at Urabe Daisuke and said, "You seem to know something?"
"No, I don't know anything..."
Daisuke Urabe responded subconsciously.
laugh! !
Blood splattered everywhere.
A kunai penetrated Urabe Daisuke's shoulder, leaving a bloody hole. Blood spattered and dripped down his clothes. The severe pain made Urabe Daisuke turn pale for a moment.
"Ahh..."
"do not know anything?"
Red Earth put the kunai on his fingertips and rotated it before speaking in a calm voice.
Urabe Daisuke covered the wound on his shoulder, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his body was trembling and he fell to the ground, with a trace of fear in his eyes, and said: "If... if it is a team of ten ninjas, they... they will be killed by Konoha The ninja was killed..."
"Um?"
Hongtu's expression suddenly changed.
The kunai in his hand directly touched Urabe Daisuke's eyebrows, and shouted: "Konoha's ninjas? What exactly is going on?!"
A ten-man team led by a Jonin was killed by Konoha's ninjas. This was extremely serious information, and it meant that Konoha might also be taking action in the Land of Grass!
Maybe it was aimed at their advance troops!
If one is not careful, one may be ambushed and surrounded by Konoha ninjas, and the consequences will be that they will be at a huge disadvantage in the early stages of the war.
"Cough... cough... specifically... specifically..."
Urabe Daisuke's forehead was punctured, and blood dripped down the bridge of his nose. He spoke with a trembling voice, describing the mission and what happened before.
Along with his narration, Hongtu showed a hint of astonishment.
The other Iwa ninja next to them also showed a bit of surprise and uncertainty. Huo Guang and the others were not ambushed by Konoha, but were killed by two Konoha ninjas who had accepted the escort commission!
It’s simply a fantasy!
Huo Guang's achievements in the village are close to those of elite Jonin. The team he leads also has ten people, including sensory ninjas and medical ninjas. Even if they encounter Konoha's ANBU elite, they can at least resist it. .
With just two people, they easily destroyed the elite ten-man team led by Huo Guang. They were probably at least two of Konoha's elite jounin, and possibly even one of Konoha's Sannins!
But.
The image described by Urabe Daisuke's words about the two Konoha ninjas has nothing to do with such existence!
They may not be able to remember all the ordinary jounin in Konoha, but the number of elite jounin is still very small, and they can almost identify each one, but the two people described by Urabe Daisuke are completely strangers!
Chapter 50: Iwa Ninja’s Vigilance
Hongtu frowned and said in a deep voice to Urabe Daisuke: "You said those two escorting ninjas from Konoha, one has thick eyebrows and is wearing tights, and the other is only about twelve years old?"
"Yes, it is… "
Urabe Daisuke's face turned pale due to excessive blood loss.
Hongtu turned to look at the ninja next to him and said solemnly: "Who has the specific information on the commission that Huoguang executed?!"
The ninjas next to him looked at each other and shook their heads.
They are not the ninjas responsible for task handover, nor are they members of Huoguang. It is normal for Huoguang to remember that Huoguang accepted a commission from the Kingdom of Grass. Who can remember the specific information and intelligence.
“…”
Hongtu frowned slightly, and after pondering for a few seconds, he said: "It should be the elite jonin hidden in Konoha who recorded the images of those two Konoha ninjas and distributed them to all ninjas, so be careful!"
There is no need for ordinary jounin to care, because the number is very large, but the number of elite jounin is very small. Orochimaru and Jiraiya, the Konoha Sannin who are famous in the ninja world, are also among the "elite jounin" Yes, so every elite jounin in the enemy village deserves to be vigilant!
"yes!"
The ninjas nearby responded.
After Hongtu gave the order, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the Fire Country with deep eyes.
The boy with silver hair…
The description sounds very similar to that person, but that person is already dead. Is he that person's son? But it seems that the man’s son in the information is not yet a teenager—
But no matter what, with such terrifying strength at such a young age, that kid is also a threat that needs to be eliminated as soon as possible.
We can't let a second White Fang appear in Konoha!
…
Konoha.
After leaving the Country of Grass, Fengye and Matt Dai traveled day and night, returning to Konoha without stopping. At this time, Konoha was obviously not ignorant of the intelligence on the front line, but had already entered A state of alert in times of war.
The entire village was shrouded in a huge sensory barrier, and at the entrance to the front of the village, the garrison strength reached two teams, and at least one team of ANBU was watching in the dark.
Feng Ye and Matt Dai also underwent a rigorous interrogation at the entrance of the village, and were released only after confirming that they were not ninjas from an enemy village disguised as ninjas.
Enter the village.
The two of them headed straight to the Hokage Building.
The mission commission office on the first floor of the Hokage Building is completely different from the previous atmosphere. You can see that all C-level missions have disappeared, leaving only some scattered B-level and A-level missions posted on the On the notice board, they are all commissions within the Kingdom of Fire, such as serving as personal guards for the Daimyos of the Kingdom of Fire.
"Is it you?"
Shiranui Hanma was still in charge of handing over tasks on the first floor. When he saw Feng Ye and Matt Dai walking in, he looked slightly startled and then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It seems that you didn't meet Iwa Ninja in the Land of Grass. Good luck. That’s great.”
Iwa Ninja had a large-scale operation in the Country of Grass, and the information had been detected by Konoha's scouts and passed back to the village. He remembered that Feng Ye and Matt Dai's mission was to escort the caravan to the Country of Grass. In this case It is undoubtedly very dangerous. Once you encounter the large force of Iwa Ninja head-on, it will be over. Being able to come back alive is undoubtedly a lucky thing.
"No, we met an Iwa nin."
Fengye looked at Shiranui for a while and said slowly: "There was an accident with the commission, and we encountered a ten-man team from Iwagakure at the border of Grass Country..."
"Team of ten?"
Shiranui was suddenly startled.
The four-person ninja team is led by chuunin and jounin, but for a ten-person team, there is a high probability that the team will be led by a jounin. Fengye and Matt Dai encountered a ten-person rock team. The fact that the Shinobi team came back alive cannot be explained by luck alone.
"It's good to be able to come back alive. An unexpected situation beyond the scope of the commission causes the mission to fail. According to regulations, it will not be recorded as a 'commission failure'."
Shiranui lowered his head for a while to look for the orders that Feng Ye and Matt Dai had received before.
Feng Ye walked over and watched as Shiranui found the order form. When he picked up the pen to mark the 'accident' column, he interrupted:
"Don't record it randomly, the mission did not fail."
"Um?"
Shiranui stopped for a moment, slightly stunned.
Feng Ye threw out a scroll and threw it on the table. He walked past and walked upstairs, saying: "I'm going to see Mr. Hokage. Senior Dai, please tell him the specific situation."
As the words fell, Feng Ye quickly walked inside, walked up the stairs to the second floor of the Hokage Building, and disappeared into the stairwell.
"Well."
Matt hesitated and walked forward to the table. He hesitated for a moment, scratched his hair, and said: "How should I put it? I met a ten-man Iwa Ninja team, and then the client changed the commission temporarily. , rose to level A, and then we killed Iwa Ninja’s team.”
Shiranui was listening carefully for a while. When he heard the word 'killed', he was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously thought that he had heard wrong and interrupted in shock:
"Wait... you said you killed it? Killed the ten-man team of Iwa Ninja?!"
"That's right."
Matt Day nodded.
Shiranui frowned for a moment, stared at Matt Dai and said: "What are you doing again? What about the ten-man team that killed Iwa Ninja? It is a heavy responsibility to lie about the mission!!"
Mattei shook his head and said: "How could I lie about the mission situation? What I reported are all facts. By the way, the proofs are all in that scroll."
"Scroll..."
Shiranui frowned for a moment and looked at the scroll Feng Ye had just thrown on the table. He opened the scroll and spread it on the table. He made a seal with his hands and said, "Open!"
Poof!
White smoke flashed.
A large number of things appeared in an instant and piled on top of the scroll. Inside were a large number of Iwa Ninja forehead protectors and a head placed above the forehead protector.
This scene made Shiranui's pupils shrink, and then he showed a hint of disbelief as he looked at the forehead protectors of the Iwa ninja and the somewhat shriveled heads.
Ten forehead protectors!
The forehead protector of a ninja is a symbol of status. Only ninjas recognized by the village can get the forehead protector issued by the village. The forehead protector of ten rock ninjas means that it comes from ten rock ninjas!
Feng Ye and Matt Dai actually killed a ten-man Iwa Ninja team!
this…
Shiranui froze on the spot for a moment, with shock in his eyes. He opened his mouth slightly, and was speechless for a moment. After a few seconds, his throat moved twice.
"You, wait a moment."
Involving a temporary change of the commission, it became an A-level commission, and there was also the death of a ninja from an enemy village. This was no longer something he could handle.
Shiranui took a deep breath and quickly left the counter to report.
Chapter 51 Report
Inside the Hokage's office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was standing there, staring at the two maps placed on the table, looking thoughtful.
One of the two maps is a large map of the entire ninja world, and the other is a map of the Kingdom of Grass and includes part of the border of the Kingdom of Fire.
"Hokage-sama."
Feng Ye walked into the Hokage's office.
Seeing Feng Ye walking in, Sarutobi Hiruzen woke up from his deep thoughts, his brows relaxed slightly, and he said, "It seems that you have returned safely. Do you want to report on the affairs of the Land of Grass?"
Feng Ye said in a deep voice: "I met a large number of rock ninjas in Shuangyue Town of Grass Country, probably more than a hundred people. Because there were too many, I didn't investigate them carefully. The purpose is unknown for the time being."
"That's the advance force of Iwa Ninja Village."
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not have any surprises. Information about this force had been passed back by Konoha's scouts in the Land of Grass a long time ago.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Feng Ye and said with some relief: "You did a good job and did not rush to spy on the Iwa Ninja's information. Many young ninjas will suffer losses or even lose their lives because they are not cautious enough..."
For geniuses like Feng Ye and Kakashi, what is worrying is not their growth in strength, but their judgment of the situation and their own abilities.
There are a huge ninja force of more than a hundred people, including a large number of sentient ninjas. It is extremely difficult to secretly spy on information. Rushing to pry for information will only put yourself in danger.
Once surrounded by such a number of ninja troops, not to mention Fengye, even his disciples Orochimaru and Jiraiya would be in huge crisis.
