Regarding Kirigakure Village, Hyuga Kyou's attitude is similar to that of Madara and Obito.
Although the country of water is isolated overseas, its area is not small, and its size is not inferior to other big countries. In addition, the country of water is surrounded by the sea on all sides, with abundant water vapor and dense fog all year round, making the country of water a natural home for the ninjas who are good at water escape and mastering the assassination technique of kirigakure.
In the original time and space, the fight between Kakashi and Zabuzhan in the land of waves near the sea is a good example.
At that time, Kakashi, who was Konoha's "first technician", was already a veritable elite jounin in Konoha village. Even if you look at the entire ninja world, there are not many jounin who can beat him. The real strength is definitely above Zabuza.
But when fighting Zabuzan in an environment suitable for Kirigakure's assassination technique, Kakashi obviously fell into a passive position and almost lost his life.
It can be seen that the Kirigakure ninja, who is good at water escape and mastering Kirigakure's assassination technique, in an environment with abundant water vapor, the increase in combat power is very significant, even exaggerated.
Hyuga Kyou, who owns the Water Dungeon clone, also has a deep understanding of this point. When controlling the Water Dungeon clone, fighting near a water source and fighting in a place without a water source are completely two concepts.
Therefore, even with twice as many troops, it would be very difficult to invade the Land of Water, which is isolated overseas.
However, the number of Xueji wealthy families and secret arts families in Wuyin Village is not less than that of Konoha, and its background is so deep that it can be said that it is only under Konoha Village among the five great ninja villages, and its strength is very strong.
At the beginning, the country of Uzumaki where the Uzumaki clan lived was because it was adjacent to the country of water, and it might become a springboard for Konoha to invade the country of water. Kirigakure took the lead and gathered several ninja villages who coveted the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan and jointly destroyed them in just a few days.
You must know that the Uzumaki Clan, who has a body that is not inferior to the Senju Clan's fairy body, and who has a sealing technique that can seal even a tailed beast, is by no means a soft persimmon in the ninja world. And the coalition forces with Kirigakure as the main force were able to quickly break through the Uzumaki country, so fast that Konoha didn't even have a chance to help, which shows how powerful the Kirigakure ninjas are in the coastal area.
So even if Konoha tried his best, one-on-one might not be able to win Kirigakure.
However, the forces on the Ninja Continent are intricate, and the four major ninja villages check and balance each other. None of the villages dares to put all their troops in the water country that is isolated overseas.
Uchiha Madara did not choose Yunyin, Iwagakure, and Sandgakure, but only picked Kirigakure for infiltration. It is precisely because of Kirigakure’s unique terrain that he can spy on the Ninja Continent when he enters, and he can hold on to the country of water when he retreats.
The facts are exactly the same, even though the two generations of Ari Madara and Obito continued to infiltrate and destroy secretly for more than 20 years, the bloody families in Kirigakure were almost extinct, the secret art family suffered heavy casualties, and the seven elite ninja swordsmen died or rebelled.
In particular, Terumi Mei, who has mastered the limits of the two blood successors of 'Solution Dun' and 'Boiling Dun', has a real kage-level strength, and performed well in the fourth Ninja World War in the original time and space.
If there is no further interference from others, it may have to wait until the sixth Mizukage Chojuro comes to power decades later before Kirigakure's background is completely exhausted.
In Hyuga Kyou's view, it is very correct for Madara and Obito to create chaos in Kirigakure through infiltration, and use civil strife to consume Kirigakure's foundation and war potential. Therefore, this time, even if he cleared the fourth Mizukage controlled by Obito, he will use other methods to further weaken Kirigakure's power, just like he abducted Gaara and weakened Kirigakure.
Hyuga Kyou returned home while pondering.
This time the mission to Kirigakure will inevitably be accompanied by a lot of battles, and may even fight against Jinzhuriki, so using the Fire Dungeon avatar is the best choice.
Firstly, through fierce battles, the Huodun avatar can be tempered, so that one's spirit body can reach a perfect fit with the Huodun avatar faster.
Secondly, the Eternal Kaleidoscope Sharingan on the Fire Dungeon has a certain restraint effect on Jinchuriki, and it is more comfortable when facing Jinchuriki. Otherwise, if the deity makes a move, he will definitely use the "Tenseigan Chakra Mode", and the "Tenseigan Chakra Mode" is too eye-catching, and there is a risk of revealing his identity if he uses it easily.
After packing up his luggage, Hyuga Kyou came to the land of the Uchiha clan again.
Shisui, who became the captain of the eleventh squad of Anbe, is not in the village at the moment because of the mission, so Hinata Kage came to the Uchiha clan to find Itachi.
In the practice field on the edge of the Uchiha clan, Hyuga mirror saw Itachi who was practicing shuriken with his younger brother Sasuke.
swish swish swish...
Itachi turned over and landed firmly on the ground.
And in the center of the eight targets around him, there was a shuriken that was still trembling evenly!
Sasuke looked around at the eight targets in a daze, and stared at Itachi with his eyes full of stars: "Brother, brother, I want to learn this trick too, please teach me!"
Itachi rubbed Sasuke's head gently, and said with a smile: "The throwing technique just now needs to cooperate with Sharingan, so I will teach you after you open Sharingan."
Sasuke immediately pursed his lips: "Sharingan is needed again, isn't there an advanced throwing technique that doesn't require Sharingan?"
Itachi's talent, among his peers, only Shisui can compare with him. The Uchiha people who usually opened Sharingan are mediocre compared to him, so Sasuke, who has not even awakened Sharingan, is full of admiration and frustration when facing Itachi.
Hyuga mirror also had this feeling when facing Kakashi at the ninja school.
That kind of feeling that you can't master the skills that you can't even try your best, but others can master it after learning it casually. It's really uncomfortable.
Looking at Sasuke with pity, Hyuga Kyou on the sidelines secretly said with emotion: "This kid is also unlucky..."
Anyone who puts it together with Itachi will look extremely mediocre, and Sasuke's talent is not bad, but because of Itachi's older brother, he will appear mediocre, and he doesn't get much attention from his father Fuyue.
At this time, Itachi led Sasuke to Hyuga Kyou and asked, "Senior, why are you here?"
Hyuga mirror smiled: "Didn't disturb your practice!"
Itachi shook his head, while Sasuke was a little depressed, lowered his head, and kicked the stones at his feet.
Hyuga Kyou gave Itachi a look, and then walked towards the nearby grove alone.
After explaining to Sasuke, Itachi followed quickly.
In the woods, after confirming that no one was prying around, Hyuga Kyou told Itachi in detail about the mission given to him by the third generation.
For Hyuga Kage, since this mission may involve the assassination of the Fourth Mizukage, it would be perfect to go with Itachi, who had defeated the Fourth Mizukage in the original time and space.
And considering the problem of illusion, Hyuga Kyou thought that his illusion skills might not be able to control ninjas of the upper ninja level, so he had to let one of Itachi or Shisui go with him.
After listening to Hyuga Kyou's narration, Itachi said thoughtfully: "In private, Shisui-san and I have also analyzed that there is a high possibility of Kirigakure being infiltrated by the Akatsuki organization. If Kirigakure really becomes an accomplice of the Akatsuki organization, then we Konoha will be attacked by the enemy, so Hokage-sama's arrangement is very correct."
Hyuga mirror said: "I need your assistance in this operation."
"no problem."
Itachi replied without thinking, but for him and Shisui, the priority is above all else when it comes to the safety of the village.
Hyuga Kyou leaned into Itachi's ear, whispered a few words, and then said, "Can you do this?"
After pondering for a while, Itachi nodded lightly: "Well, if I leave now, the time should be fine!"
Patting Itachi on the shoulder, Hyuga Kyou said: "Pay attention to safety, Xiao organization's movements are unknown now, and the possibility that they are in Wuyin Village cannot be ruled out, so everything is about your own safety!"
After giving Itachi a mission, Hyuga Kyou notified the members of Class 7 about the mission, and then returned home.
In the early morning of the next day, Hyuga Kyou's seventh shift left the village through the small gate.
The group of four were all rookies, and the weakest one was also at the level of the special Junin, so they moved very fast, and it took less than three days to reach the sea to the east of the Kingdom of Fire.
Pointing to the map spread out on the ground, Hyuga Kyou said to the members of the seventh class: "We are now at the former site of the Uzumaki Country, and we need to use a boat for the next trip."
Xiyan asked: "Captain, how do we board the ship?"
Hyuga mirror said: "All passenger ships and merchant ships going to the country of water will be checked by the Kirigakure ninja. It is difficult for us to get away with it, so my plan is to sneak into a fishing boat that is close to the waters of the country of water. After the fishing boat is close to the waters of the country of water, we will abandon the ship and secretly sneak into the territory of the country of water from the sea."
Hongxiu frowned: "Even if the fishing boat approaches the Water Country, there is still a long distance from the coast. Would it be too dangerous for us to cross the sea like this?"
Hyuga mirror nodded and said: "The danger must exist, but only in this way can we sneak into the kingdom of water secretly."
After hearing Hyuga Kyou's explanation, both Hayate and Xiyan nodded.
As long as it is not extremely bad weather, in the sea area close to the country of water, diving into the country of water by crossing the sea is actually not too dangerous.
While putting away the map, Hyuga Kyou said: "We have entered Kirigakure's sphere of influence now, everyone be careful, we will camp here tonight, and we will find a fishing boat to cross the sea tomorrow."
Following Hyuga Kyou's order, Hong, Haifeng, and Xiyan immediately got busy.
Several people are trained members of the Anbu, setting up warning traps, observation posts and other common sense, there is no need for Captain Hyuga Kyou to talk too much, and they are in order.
Not long after, the night darkened and the moon climbed overhead.
"Quack..."
Suddenly, in the quiet night, there was a cry of crows.
Hyuga Kyou, who was leaning on a broken wall with her arms crossed, did not move when she heard the crow's cry, but the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, revealing a vague smile.
Hong, who happened to be in charge of the night watch, immediately became alert after hearing the crow call.
Although it was just an ordinary crow call, for the ninja, any sound could be a warning before an accident, so she carefully observed the surroundings from the observation post.
"Hey, why is it suddenly foggy?"
Hong, who was observing the movement around him, suddenly found that the fog around him was getting heavier and heavier.
"wrong!"
Realizing that something was wrong, she quickly returned to the camp, and while waking up the sleeping Gaifeng and Xiyan, she reported to Hyuga Jinghui: "Jing, something seems wrong!"
Hyuga Kyou didn't talk nonsense, and immediately opened his eyes to look around, and said, "Get ready to fight, we are being targeted by the Kirigakure ninja!"
"What!?"
Hong and the other three were surprised when they heard this.
Before the infiltration mission even started, their whereabouts were exposed. This was a big blow to the three of them who were performing this kind of S-level mission for the first time.
While the few people were talking, the fog outside was getting heavier and heavier, and it soon reached the point where you couldn't see your fingers.
At this time, Haifeng activated the 'Through Dun' and entered the stealth state, and Hong and Xiyan also sneaked up separately. The members of the seventh class were carefully selected by three generations, and their stealth assassination was not inferior to Kirigakure's Kirigakure assassination technique, so no one was too panicked when faced with such a situation.
Clang...
Not long after, there was a crisp metal crashing sound in the camp!
In the quiet night, this piercing metal impact sounded like a signal for the outbreak of war. In an instant, the sound of shuriken throwing through the wind, the sound of ninjutsu being activated, and the roar of detonating talismans sounded one after another in the thick fog.
At this time, Hyuga Kyou had jumped onto a big tree in the distance, and together with a black shadow beside him, silently watched the battle in the thick fog.
The entire battle lasted for about forty minutes, and finally ended with the victory of the seventh class. However, the members of the seventh class were not unscathed. Among them, the red wound was the heaviest. Not only was the rib injured by the Kirigakure ninja, but also poisoned by the Kirigakure ninja, and basically lost his fighting power.
Xiyan was also badly injured, with multiple stab wounds on her legs and body.
The least injured was Gale who had mastered the 'Through Dun', but because the battle just now was too intense, and Gale's body was already weak, so although he didn't suffer any injuries, he coughed continuously when he was exhausted, and he didn't seem to have much fighting power.
When the dense fog gradually cleared, Hyuga Kyou returned to the battlefield.
By the way, he beheaded a few Kirigakures who had escaped, so he held the blood-stained Kusanagi Maru in his hand, and there was a lot of blood stains on his body, as if he had also experienced a life-and-death battle.
Glancing at the battlefield, Hyuga Kyou said: "There are three teams, twelve Kirigakure ninjas, it seems that Kirigakure is already prepared, you all temporarily return to the country of fire, this mission will be carried out by myself!"
