Chapter 598 In the name of Mizukage

The Eastern Frontier Fortress of the Ghost Country, in the meeting room.

Now it is not Huang Tu, the Jonin commander, who presides over the front-line Iwakage Jnin meeting, but is replaced by the third Tsuchikage Onogi himself.

Because Huangtu was attacked by shells before the previous action, he was injured physically. Although it did not hinder the action, his strength was still damaged. He was currently undergoing treatment in the infirmary of the fortress. Therefore, at this time, Onogi, who was Tsuchikage, had to take action, and went to the front line earlier than expected to stabilize the situation on the front line of Iwagakure.

More than that, during this rush to the front line, he once again invested a new force of two thousand Yanyin ninjas to join the thousands of Yanyin ninjas on the front line.

Although short in stature and with a funny red nose on his face, all the Iwagakushi Kami Shinobi who were present had great respect for Onogi, Tsuchikage.

He turned the tide and revitalized Iwagakushi's third Tsuchikage when Iwagakure lost the second generation of Tsuchikage.

The time in power is longer than that of Konoha's third Hokage, Sarutobi Hokage. It can be said that he has a lot of power and is trusted and admired by the rock ninjas.

At this time, he was the commander-in-chief of the front line, and the restless and uneasy feelings of all the officers finally settled down.

"Master Tsuchikage, there was an important message before. According to the information received by the Alliance Army, Arisa Shinobi witnessed Chiba Shiraishi appearing in the northwest border of the Land of Winds."

At this time, a Yanyin jonin reported the news.

The rest of Iwagakushi Jnin who participated in the meeting did not show surprise. They all knew the news more or less, so they didn't think it was strange.

After all, Shayin has invested thousands of elite ninjas in the northwestern border of the Kingdom of Wind. In order to prevent problems before they happen, the Kingdom of Ghosts will inevitably dispatch a heavyweight ninja to sit there to ensure nothing goes wrong.

But before that, they speculated that Uchiha Ruri would have a higher probability of sitting in the northwest region of the Land of Winds.

However, whether it is Chiba Shiraishi or Uchiha Ruri sitting in the northwest of the Land of Winds, it doesn't really matter. The purpose of the Allied Forces of the Four Nations is to continuously disperse the main force of the Kingdom of Demons, and finally defeat and annihilate them one by one.

Now this purpose has completed the first step.

"So, the main force used to resist Kirigakure is led by Uchiha Ruri."

Onoki analyzed the command message of the main force of the Demon Country. Although it was only a few words, it was precisely because of this that such brief and refined information was so precious.

As long as you know the distribution of the main forces in the Kingdom of Ghosts, the next thing to do will become easier, and the fog that shrouded the Alliance Army has finally been cleared away.

"Exactly, but there seems to be something wrong with Sand Hidden."

One Iwagakushi shinobi hesitated.

"Are you referring to Iptail Jinchuriki of Sand Yin, who was robbed at the front line?"

Onogi glanced over.

"Yes. According to the information provided by Sand Hidden, it is the same organization that stole One Tail Jinchuriki and our village's Four Tails and Five Tails. Wearing a black red cloud coat, the members of the organization are composed of dangerous S-rank rebels from various countries. There are five known members, namely Orochimaru from Konoha, Itachi Uchiha, Scorpion of Red Sand from Sand Hidden, Kisame Kisame from Kirigakure, and... Didara."

The Jnin said again.

When talking about Didara, he deliberately emphasized his tone, and secretly glanced at Onoki's expression.

Sure enough, when he heard the name Didara, although Onogi's expression didn't change much, there was a gloomy look in his cloudy eyes.

The rebellious Nin who walked out of their Yanyin Village is now making waves in the ninja world, and even colluded with the criminals who stole Yanyin's two tailed beasts. This kind of thing is very disgraceful, and it is like slapping Yanyin Village in the face.

"That **** boy, I didn't expect to take such a wrong path. If I knew it, I should have monitored him in the first place, so as not to cause trouble for me outside!"

Especially the fact that the other party is also cooperating with the defected ninja who stole the village of Four and Five Tails, which is even more unforgivable in Onoki's view.

"Master Tsuchikage, please calm down, the matter has already happened, and it will be useless to regret it. Now that there is such an accident at Sayin's side, I'm afraid..."

Iwagakushi Jnin didn't go on, but everyone had guessed.

The theft of Renzhuli is not a trivial matter. Ever since the Four-tails and Five-tails in their village were stolen in the past, they have been trying their best to find them.

At this time, people from this organization approached Sand Yin again, and robbed them of their human strength. Sand Yin will inevitably deal with it negatively in the battle against the kingdom of ghosts.

This is not conducive to the strategic layout of the Alliance Army.

However, this was an unexpected situation. Before that, although they considered that there might be a third-party force involved, this third-party force was by no means the mysterious organization that targeted the tailed beasts, but Yun Yin, who was not interested in the alliance army and planned to stay out of it.

Not only Sha Yin, but also the other three parties of the alliance army were somewhat caught off guard when this happened.

Especially in villages with tailed beasts, be careful that this organization will come and make trouble for them.

"No, in fact, things are not too bad. As long as Sha Yin's main force does not withdraw from the front line, it will be a great achievement to firmly restrain the main force of the ghost country. The deadlock has already been born, and now we need stronger forces to break this deadlock."

Onogi said so.

Sha Yin's strength is already at the bottom of the Ninja Village in the Great Country, but as long as the contract can be abided by and a main force of the Kingdom of Ghosts is contained in the northwest region of the Kingdom of Wind, it will also have a positive guiding role for the Alliance Army.

Although it is impossible to pin the hope of victory on Sand Yin now, the benefits of the four-nation alliance lie here.

Even if one force is lost, the remaining three ninja villages still have a fierce offensive momentum, so that the offensive of the alliance army will not fall into a passive state.

After all, the main forces of all parties in the Kingdom of Ghosts are already in place, and the Alliance Army has not yet released its true strength. Onoki has sufficient confidence in the next battle.

"Get in touch with Kirigakure and Konoha, and tell them that the action is ready! The next action must not be missed!"

A stern look flashed in Onogi's eyes.

The rest of Iwagakushi Jnin's expressions were awe-inspiring when they heard this sentence.

"yes!"

Compared to Yan Yin, who has a very obvious offensive intention, the meeting room of Kirigakure is gloomy.

Previously, the fourth meeting group, which had drawn up the list of the second wave of reconnaissance teams and the group's action route, was in Anbu's investigation operation. His team leader Aoki Kami Shinobu took advantage of Anbu's carelessness and severely injured two guards of the fourth meeting group.

Because the leader of the fourth meeting group, Aoki Kaminin, defected and colluded with foreign enemies, all members of the fourth meeting group became suspicious. From the original surveillance, they were directly arrested and imprisoned by the Anbu, and investigated from beginning to end.

The matter of the fourth meeting group is over, but what is left for Kirigakure is undoubtedly a bad start.

At the beginning of the war, two waves of reconnaissance teams were lost, nearly a hundred ninjas, before seeing the ninjas from the kingdom of ghosts.

The third vanguard was also undergoing the same trial and disappeared.

This adds up to more than 600 ninjas missing, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead.

The worst part is that the Aoki Kamishin who participated in the Jnin meeting is still a spy placed in Kirigakure village by the kingdom of ghosts.

Judging from the ninja resume of Aoki Jomin, it is undoubtedly a very innocent native ninja of Kirigakure, but it is such a clean-cut, good-natured Aoki Jomin who is actually a spy of the kingdom of ghosts.

"Iwagakure and Konoha have reached an agreement, and they are going to start the next step in two days. Sand hidden because of some things temporarily unable to join, and now we are the only one who has not given an accurate response from Kirigakure. Tell me, what do you think should be done next."

Yakura throws this question to the ninja present here, hoping that they can put forward some opinions that are beneficial to the current situation.

After Yagura finished speaking, the jounin of each meeting group looked at each other, and began to present their own group's proposals one by one.

In general, the proposals to cooperate with the coalition forces accounted for the majority. Those who believed that the current situation was unclear and needed to continue to wait and see accounted for a very small minority. The rest stood in the middle and decided to rely on Mizukage's decision.

After listening to the narrations of each conference group, Yagura nodded slightly, and had a very detailed plan for the views of each group. Just when he was about to speak and prepare to say something, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

A jonin patrolling the sea hurried in.

"Mizukage-sama."

"What's up?"

Not only Yakura, but also the rest of the Jonin were surprised by the sudden intrusion of the patrolling Jonin. I don't know what urgent matter made him so rude.

"The third wave of reconnaissance team lost contact again in less than half an hour after entering the sea to the west of Oni Nation. Please make a decision, Mizukage-sama."

The patrolling officer endured the uneasy mood, and told the terrible news.

After he told the news, the meeting room immediately fell into a deathly silence, and the atmosphere became strange.

Junin turned to a position one after another, and there were three Junin sitting there, they belonged to the counselor Jnin of the Sixth Conference Group.

For the third wave of reconnaissance team, the list of personnel, action routes, and contact methods were formulated by their team, and finally handed over to Mizukage for personal review.

That is to say, except for the three jounin of the sixth meeting group, and Mizukage Yagura, the rest of the jonin do not know the inside story of the third wave of reconnaissance team.

Even members of the reconnaissance team who are directly involved in the mission cannot know the specific information of the rest of the team, let alone the course of action.

Therefore, there is a problem with the third wave of reconnaissance team at this time. Putting aside the fact that it is absolutely impossible for Mizukage to betray his own village, there is only one possibility leftthere is a ghost inside the sixth meeting group!

It may be one ghost, two ghosts, and the worst case is that all members of the Sixth Conference Group have loyalty problems.

So, the jonin from the other conference groups looked at the three junin from the sixth conference group with strange expressions.

The Jonin sitting next to them also subconsciously moved a little distance to the side, as if the Jonin of the sixth meeting group had a terrible plague on his body, which made people want to stay away.

As for the parties involved, the three jounin of the sixth meeting group, including the leader jounin, all turned pale and their minds went blank.

The bad news also caught them off guard.

How can it be?

How could the reconnaissance team of the third wave be wiped out again?

The summary of the list of personnel, action routes, and other arrangements were only shown to Mizukage, and they were not lost. How could the reconnaissance team lose contact again?

Where is the problem?

Jonin, the leader of the sixth meeting group, has always trusted his two team members, but now that something is wrong, he has to think in his heart, are his two colleagues really okay?

If this is the case, then the camouflage ability of his two team members is too terrible.

But the more this happened, the more Jonin, the team leader, understood that internal strife is absolutely impossible at this time.

He was about to explain something, but when he turned his head and saw Yakura's expressionless, extremely calm baby face, his heart sank.

The leader of the group, Jnin's mouth was slightly bitter. He knew that no matter how he tried to defend himself and prove his innocence at this time, it would be difficult to convince Yakura.

And there was a problem with the third wave of reconnaissance team, and the biggest problem was within the sixth meeting group.

It is impossible for Mizukage to transmit the information to the enemy.

"Sorry, Mizukage-sama, this is negligence by me and my team members, we are willing to accept the investigation."

Leader Jonin sighed, stood up from his seat, guilt flashed in his eyes.

I was able to get to where I am now, because Yakura worked so hard to cultivate him, and he single-handedly promoted me to my current status.

However, I have failed Yagura's trust, accepting the investigation is the best result.

Not only that, he is also secretly investigating his two team members, whether there is something wrong with the two of them, and give Yagura an explanation.

The other two junin members of the sixth meeting group also stood up, with a very clear meaning. Like the group leader, they accepted the investigation by Anbu.

This major mistake must be borne by them.

Hearing these words, Yagura's face softened a little, and Anbu led the three members of the Sixth Conference Group to endure and accept the investigation.

After the Jnin of the sixth meeting group went down, the Jnin who stayed behind clearly noticed that the atmosphere in the meeting room became more dignified than before.

Especially Yakura, who was Mizukage, sat there without saying a word, causing the area around him to fall into indescribable depression.

Junin who were closest to Yakura did not dare to breathe. They just listened to the ticking of the second hand of the clock and waited for the time to pass by, feeling the indescribable torment.

"The reconnaissance team has a problem again. How should we cooperate with Iwagakure and Konoha's actions?"

After an unknown amount of time, Yakura's extremely calm words resounded in the meeting room.

All the senior ninjas breathed a sigh of relief. They had expected this problem a long time ago, and they were not surprised.

"Mizukage-sama, with all due respect, it is not suitable for our Kirigakure to take the initiative to attack at the moment. The reconnaissance team has frequent accidents. This problem is difficult to solve in a short time."

"I agree, if we can't figure out the deployment of the Ghost Kingdom's troops in the western waters, if we attack rashly, the outcome may be..."

"How should Yanyin and Konoha respond? Do you want to explain truthfully?"

"No, if we tell the truth, our Kirigakure will lose face and be looked down upon by the rest of the village. We must not let them know that there is a problem within us."

"But what about the attack? Iwahide and Konoha have already made an arrangement, if we don't tell the truth..."

All the jounin began to discuss fiercely.

Although some Kirigakure jounin advocated confessing the situation to Iwagakure and Konoha, they said that an unknown number of spies appeared inside Kirigakure, and they were temporarily unable to attack the kingdom of ghosts, so they needed to suspend their actions.

But more kirigakure shinin think that this is an internal problem of kirigakure, and there is no need to explain the embarrassing things in their own village to the other villages one by one, so that others can look down on them.

"I think Kirigakure can put on a massive offensive and tell Iwagakure and Konoha at the same time that we have successfully defeated the vanguard of the Oni Country. The situation is very good, and we can launch an attack on the Oni Country at any time!"

A young Kirigakure Jnin suddenly proposed this plan, which overwhelmed the voices of the others, and resounded loudly in the conference room, attracting the attention of many Jnin.

Even Yagura couldn't help but look at this young Jonin.

"What do you mean to say, pretending to be an offensive stance, in order to deceive the kingdom of ghosts, so as to restrain their main force here, unable to move?"

The opinion of this young Jonin is not difficult to understand.

For the rest of the ninja, you only need to think a little bit to understand the principle.

To put it simply, it is a bluff, and without a single soldier, the troops of the Kingdom of Ghosts are contained here, so that they cannot turn to other battlefields for support.

In this way, Kirigakure's face is preserved, and the next step can be guaranteed to be carried out smoothly, so that the offensive will not be suspended because of Kirigakure's problems.

After all, the situation on the battlefield is changing, time and timing are very important.

The assault troops on Konoha's side are being besieged by the troops of the ghost country in the territory of the bear country, and there is an urgent need to open a gap to get them out of the sea of suffering.

In other words, Kirigakure only needs to 'hold up' the Oni Nation's sea fleet to ensure that there will be no surprises in the attack plan of Iwagakure and Konoha.

However, this containment tactic is fake after all.

Once the Oni Nation discovers that Kirigakure does not intend to attack the islands in the western sea area, this means that the Oni Nation can transfer the main force deployed in the western sea area to the Iwagakure or Konoha Battlefield to provide support there, and may even deal an extremely heavy blow to Iwagakure and Konoha.

Kirigakure shinin were lost in thought.

This tactic has advantages and disadvantages, and it is a double-edged sword.

There is nothing to say if the plan goes well. If it fails, the main force in the west of the kingdom of ghosts will be transferred to Yanyin to fight against the Konoha battlefield, which will severely damage the morale of the alliance army. Worse, it might shatter the alliance's 'covenant' in an instant.

Junin kept frowning, considering the gains and losses.

At this moment, Yagura spoke: "Starting tomorrow, the number of patrolling troops will be doubled, and the rest of the squadron will be ready for battle. The port will also be opened, and military exercises will be conducted on board. Tell the kingdom of ghosts that we are about to attack their western waters."

Yakura's words shocked the minds of Kirigakure senior ninjas.

Obviously, Yagura agreed to this proposal.

Using a military drill as an offensive posture, the main force of the Oni Country is contained here to facilitate the implementation of Iwagakushi and Konoha's plan.

If this plan succeeds, everything is easy to say, but if it fails...

Not only will it cause the alliance army to break up, but it will also attract accusations from the rest of the village.

Yakura sighed and said: "As Mizukage, I can't risk the lives of thousands of Kirigakure ninjas. If the plan fails, I will bear all the culpability, and then I will take the blame and resign and give an explanation to the kages of the villages."

"Mizukage-sama!"

"Needless to say. Starting today, all of you will be monitored by the Anbu within the next three days to prevent the news of the pretended attack on the Kingdom of Ghosts from leaking out. The meeting is adjourned now."

Yakura decided this matter with an absolutely tough attitude, and all the jounin could only keep silent.

Konoha, the warehouse of Konoha Hospital.

"Is this the list of all medical items?"

In front of the warehouse where medical supplies are stored, Asami Masumi, the vice president of the hospital, brought two medical ninjas, a man and a woman, here.

After receiving the list of medical supplies, she casually asked the staff who escorted the supplies.

"Yes, Vice President Asami, this is the last batch."

The staff responded respectfully.

"No problem. Let's go down, I need to take someone to check it myself to see if there is any mistake. After all, this will be sent to the frontline battlefield in the near future, and there must be no accidents."

Asami Masumi stuffed the list into the pocket of her white coat, and glanced at the staff from the corner of her eyes.

"Yes, then I will resign."

Staff get out of here.

Asami Masumi led a man and a woman medical ninja behind him into the warehouse.

After entering, the female medical ninja took the initiative to turn on the lights, and then closed the warehouse door.

In the huge warehouse for storing medical supplies, there were only three of them left.

Asami Masumi and the others glanced at the medical supplies in the warehouse, and suddenly, a mass of mud began to bulge from the ground next to them.

After emerging from the ground, the lump of mud slowly condensed into a human shape, and opened a pair of bright yellow pupils under the slightly dim light.

It is Baishi's soil cloneGeneral Tu.

It didn't speak, just opened its mouth, and with a plop, something fell out of its mouth and landed on the ground.

is a box with the same appearance as the storage of medical supplies in the warehouse.

Spit out the first one, then spit out the second, third, and keep spitting out things from the body.

"Let's start replacing supplies, we don't have much time left, only one hour."

Asami Masumi picked up the glasses hanging on her chest, and put them on in a leisurely manner. The lenses reflected a white light that could cover her eyes.

"yes!"

A male and a female medical ninja responded, dispersed to both sides of the warehouse, and began to act.
