"Everyone, let's summarize the information." Qi Muyue said when he saw the team members arrived.
"Our team investigated the guard strength of the building where the Kusagakure leader's office is located. I don't know if it's because the Kusagakure leader is very confident in his own strength or for some other reason, but there are not many ninja guards there." Nara Suzaku was the first to step forward and speak.
In fact, their group mainly relies on the secret techniques of Aburame Shiki to collect intelligence, but because Aburame Shiki is not a talkative person, Nara Suzaku acts as his mouthpiece to help him complete the report.
Then Nara Suzaku handed Mu Yue the detailed structural sketch of the Kusanagi office building.
Mu Yue took it and took a look. It not only revealed the structure of the Kusagakure office building, but also marked the functions of many rooms.
Sarutobi Hiruzen obviously wanted to take real action against the Kusanagi ninja, and the teammates he chose for him basically all had unique skills and could not be considered ordinary jonin.
It's only the first day, and the Kusanagi office building has almost been figured out.
"Although there are not many ninjas in the office building, their strength is unclear. My idea is to find the Anbu base, which may contain confidential information we need." Nara Suzaku said.
If they were to attack the Kusagakure Village directly, there would be no need to be so fancy. They could just find out where the office building was and sneak in and start the attack directly. But they had to first find out whether the Kusagakure Village was cooperating with the Iwagakure.
"Well, well done." Mu Yue nodded in affirmation.
Nara Suzaku's thinking was similar to his. As the most confidential department of the ninja village, the Anbu would almost certainly be involved in such secretive events.
Obito scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
The other groups sounded too professional and the rewards were great.
Obito suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing not to be the team leader. This way he would not have to report and it would be less embarrassing.
"Our team first investigated the main city area of Kusagakure Village and found that the Kusagakure ninjas seemed to be very busy recently, with high intensity of tasks.
And when our group went to the suburbs later, we found that the Grass Ninja seemed to be short of manpower. Facing thousands of refugees, they only sent a few Grass Ninja to manage them. "Kakashi reported seriously.
"From this point of view, the Kusagakure ninja is highly suspected. It is very likely that some of the more elite Kusagakure ninja were sent to the battlefield to support Iwagakure. This led to a shortage of manpower in the Kusagakure village and heavy task pressure." Nara Suzaku analyzed.
The security force of the office building alone is not enough to tell anything. After all, there are not many people, but they are probably all elite.
But considering what Kakashi said, the Kusagakure Village is very suspicious. It can't be that everything is just a coincidence.
"In addition, our team also found a refugee who is very likely a survivor of the Uzumaki clan. She was almost driven out by the Kusanagi ninja, but the Kusanagi leader forced her to stay for some unknown purpose. In order to prevent exposure, we did not contact the other party." Kakashi continued.
"Refugees from the Uzumaki clan." Maruboshi Kosuke looked surprised.
He was the oldest ninja on this mission, and he was very clear about the relationship between Uzumaki and Konoha.
The most orthodox Konoha sealing technique is actually the Uzumaki sealing technique, because Konoha's sealing technique was developed on the basis of the Uzumaki sealing technique. At that time, the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan personally came to Konoha to teach the sealed ninjas the Uzumaki sealing technique.
To commemorate this friendship, the Uzumaki clan's emblem is printed on the Konoha ninja uniforms.
"Maybe he wants to obtain the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique?" Nara Suzaku believed that the Kusanagi leader definitely had no good intentions.
As for the Uzumaki clan's powerful sealing technique, not only ordinary ninja villages like Kusanagi Village, but even the big ninja villages at the level of the five major ninja villages are salivating over it. Only Konoha, which has formed an ally with the Uzumaki clan, can remain calm. The Uzumaki clan suffered a devastating disaster largely because of the sealing technique.
"You are right to be cautious. Since the Grass Ninja leader personally ordered to keep the Uzumaki refugee, he must have some plan." Mu Yue said after thinking for a while.
He guessed that the Uzumaki refugee was most likely Karin's mother in the original novel.
At this point in time, in the Land of Grass, the only person he could think of was Karin's mother.
Based on the existing information, Mu Yue can basically confirm the purpose of the Kusanagi leader, which is to feed Karin's mother to the Box of Paradise.
For the box that can absorb chakra, the Uzumaki clan with powerful chakra is the best food.
The Kusagakure leader, who is eager to open the box, will not let go of the chakra that is delivered to his door, so there should be Kusagakure leaders monitoring Karin's mother now, so it is not easy to contact her casually.
Obito looked at Kakashi who was talking, then looked at Mu Yue who had a look of approval on his face, and was stunned.
It turns out that their team had collected so much intelligence, how come he didn't know it?
Or is it that the Kakashi who has been following them is a shadow clone, and the real Kakashi has already gone out to gather intelligence alone.
Although Obito was confused, he knew that this was not the time to ask questions.
Because asking at this time would make him seem like he is not very smart and is very lazy, and he has no idea what his group is doing.
"The Uzumaki clan is Konoha's ally. Although the Uzumaki clan has disappeared today, we cannot ignore the friendship between the Uzumaki and Konoha in the past. As for the survivors of the Uzumaki clan, we will try our best to help her without affecting the mission." Mu Yue finally said.
Maruxing Gujie nodded in his heart and felt more favorable towards Mu Yue.
Mu Yue's approach was neither unkind nor against Konoha's rules.
No matter how deep the friendship between the Uzumaki clan and Konoha was, if Mu Yue would give up his mission for someone he had never met, it would prove that Mu Yue was a very unqualified ninja, or to be more precise, even an unqualified companion. This behavior was too irresponsible to his teammates.
The others also agreed with Mu Yue's decision, thinking that if the mission could be completed successfully, they could give some help to the Uzumaki people.
"I have found the base of the Anbu and obtained some internal intelligence of the Kusanagi." After talking about his attitude towards the Uzumaki clan, Mu Yue announced some of his gains.
Strictly speaking, Mu Yue has completed the investigation mission today, and can now start the next step of beating up the Grass Ninja.
He obtained too much information about the Kusanagi in Wuchang's mind, and Wuchang was even present when Iwagakure and the Kusanagi reached a cooperation agreement.
But Mu Yue didn't want to say it directly, because he couldn't explain the secret technique he had that could check his memory.
He couldn't say that he was a ninjutsu genius and that he had mastered the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan just by looking at Yamanaka Inoichi.
Of course, this is not the main reason why Mu Yue did not disclose the information. Even if he did not reveal the information in his mind, Mu Yue, who had obtained Wuchang's memory, could easily find evidence of the cooperation between Kusagakure and Iwagakure.
The most important reason why Mu Yue did not disclose all the information was that Mu Yue had a better solution.
If Mu Yue releases the information, then the development will be that Mu Yue and his team will go out together to kidnap the high-ranking Grass Ninjas and kill them to establish their authority. In the process, they may be forced to kill some more Grass Ninjas due to conflicts.
The final result will definitely be that the Kusanagi will sign a treaty with Konoha, compensate for the losses and send troops to help Konoha.
On the contrary, Mu Yue did not disclose any information. On the one hand, he guided Kakashi and others to gradually investigate the truth, and on the other hand, he contacted Kusa no Hana, the political enemy of Kusa no Mi.
When Mu Yue put the evidence in front of Kusa No Hana, he believed that as a conservative, Kusa No Hana would do her best to reduce the losses of Kusa Village.
But the Grass Ninja leader who has already come this far will definitely not give up easily. He will try his best to turn the tables and bet that the Box of Paradise can make him stronger.
The wish of the Kusanagi leader will come true, and he will indeed become stronger when the box is opened, but the price is that he will turn into a monster that kills people indiscriminately.
Finally, when the Grass Ninja leader who has transformed into a monster is killing people, Mu Yue and others who are the messengers of justice can appear on the scene.
They killed the Kusagakure leader who turned into a monster and "saved" the Kusagakure Village.
And the Flower of Grass can also take advantage of the weakness of the Grass Ninja to become the leader of the Grass Ninja Village and change the existing radical policies of the Grass Ninja Village.
Although the culprit, the leader of the Kusanagi ninja, died, compensation must still be paid for the dire consequences of the Kusanagi ninja's actions on Konoha.
At that time, no Kusanagi would feel that such compensation was inappropriate. They did do bad things to Konoha, and then the Konoha ninjas saved them. The money was reasonable, and helping to fight against Iwagakure was also a way of atonement.
Compared to directly releasing information, the second option is obviously smoother and in line with Konoha's interests.
Of course, what is more meaningful to Mu Yue is that he can train his disciples through Wu, and by the way, he can also study the Box of Bliss and the Wu in it.
The Kusagakure Village is much safer than the battlefield. In the Kusagakure Village, Mu Yue is absolutely sure that he will not fail.
Even for the Uzumaki clan member whom she had never met before, Mu Yue could guarantee his safety.
Because now the ninja guarding the Box of Paradise has become Mu Yue's shadow clone, and the real Wu Chang has been hidden by him.
"In this way, we can start trying to invade the ANBU at night."
Nara Suzaku's face lit up when he heard Mu Yue's words, and he thought to himself that he was worthy of being a ninja as famous as Yellow Flash, as he could obtain such important information on the first day by acting alone.
All members of Kakashi's team looked normal. Unless Mu Yue completed the task on the first day, it would be difficult for them to be surprised. After all, Mu Yue had surprised them too many times before.
After exchanging information, Mu Yue and others had dinner first. The group that wanted to continue the action started the new action after getting Mu Yue's approval.
After waiting for Kakashi and the others to leave, Mu Yue continued with his plans.
…
In the evening, after dinner, Long Fei took a walk in the main city area of Kusagakure.
"It would be great if it could continue to develop like this." Long Fei sighed as he looked at the bustling commercial street in the main urban area.
He still remembered the simplicity and poverty of the Kusagakure Village when it was first built when he was a child. At that time, there were few nice houses in the main urban area, let alone the suburbs, and all of them were mainly practical.
With the development, the number of residents and village ninjas increased, and the Kusagakure Village became more and more prosperous.
"As long as the Kusanagi don't get involved in the fights among the big ninja villages, they can continue to develop and become strong one day. Why are there more people who agree with Kusanagi?"
When Long Fei thought about the current situation in Kusagakure Village, his good mood turned sour again.
He wasn't bothered by the faction's decline, but rather worried about the future of the Kusagakure ninja.
Because Long Fei is first and foremost a ninja from the Kusagakure Village, and then the leader of the Flower of Grass.
He sincerely felt that in this chaotic situation, they should be more conservative, use diplomatic means to negotiate with neighboring major powers to preserve their strength, and then continue to accumulate and wait for opportunities.
Long Fei was in a bad mood and had no mood to take a walk anymore. He sighed and walked back home.
After entering the house, Long Fei quickly reached into his ninja tool bag and looked cautiously at the blond stranger sitting on the sofa in his living room.
"Who are you? What is your purpose?" Long Fei asked in a deep voice while holding up a kunai.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is, do you know what you Grass Ninjas have done?" Mu Yue turned her head and looked at Long Fei who walked in and asked with a faint smile.
"Lieyang Muyue?!" After seeing Muyue's face clearly, Long Fei's pupils suddenly contracted and his heart was shocked.
For the Kusagakure Village, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are not easy to deal with, and Mu Yue's first famous achievement on the East Coast battlefield was killing four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and a famous ice escape master in one battle.
Long Fei's hand holding the kunai trembled slightly, sweat quickly secreted from his forehead, and he was frantically thinking about the information contained in Mu Yue's words just now.
"It seems that I am not completely unknown in the Land of Grass. At least you are not yelling at me as Yellow Flash." Mu Yue joked kindly.
Perhaps because Namikaze Minato became famous early, Mu Yue has been mistaken many times in the past. He was once mistaken for Minato by Ye Cang.
"Your Excellency is too modest. It's not just the Kusa Village and the Land of the Grass. How many ninjas in the entire ninja world don't know the name of Lieyang Muyue?" Long Fei took a deep breath and complimented.
Although he is much older than Mu Yue, he is somewhat impatient to see a strong ninja who has nothing to do with him relying on his seniority to bully others.
"Could it be that some blind Grass Ninja offended you, Lord Mu Yue? What's his name? I will immediately send someone to capture him and investigate." Long Fei continued.
He had a vague guess in his heart that maybe Yokogawa Tsutomu had done something that infringed on Konoha's interests.
He could sense the recent abnormalities in Kusagakure Village, but Yokogawa Tsutomu hid it very well and he was unable to find out the cause.
"Yongchuan, I should have tried my best to compete with you to the end." Long Fei regretted in his heart.
To be able to get the famous Lieyang Muyue to personally take action, what Yokogawa Tsutomu did was definitely not a small matter.
"You Kusanagi have dared to join the Iwagakure to attack the Konoha ninja troops. Do you still care whether any Kusanagi will offend me?" Mu Yue's smile was still warm, but the words she said made Long Fei's body shiver uncontrollably.
Long Fei slowly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and greeted Yokogawa Nu countless times in his heart.
This is simply the worst case scenario. If Konoha's ninja troops were not temporarily unable to take action, Mu Yue might not even have to come. Konoha's ninja troops in the Land of Grass would have directly razed the Grass Village to the ground.
"Lord Mu Yue, these are the results of Yokogawa Tsutomu and his Kusa No Mi's willful actions. There are many innocent ninjas in the Kusa Village. We Kusa No Mi have no idea that he actually did such hateful and evil things in secret." Long Fei said quickly.
Although he wanted to cut Hengchuan into pieces, Long Fei's mind did not completely freeze. Since Mu Yue was sitting in the living room with a friendly face, there was still room for discussion.
If Mu Yue really wanted to take action, the time they spent talking would be enough for Mu Yue to kill him several times.
Long Fei never dared to underestimate a strong man from a big ninja village like Mu Yue, as it was almost impossible for their small ninja village to cultivate such a person.
"As long as Lord Mu Yue gives the order, I will immediately gather my companions of Grass Flower to find Yokogawa Tsutomu to get to the bottom of things. I will never allow such a vicious person to continue to serve as the leader of the Grass Ninja." In his words, Long Fei seemed to have become Mu Yue's subordinate, standing on the same front with Mu Yue.
Long Fei's subtext is very simple. They can get rid of Yokogawa Nu and hope that Master Konoha will not bear grudge. In exchange, the Kusanagi will become Konoha's younger brother and work for Konoha.
"There's no need for you to go that far. Konoha doesn't lack ninjas who can carry out missions." Mu Yue refused.
Through his Byakugan observation, the chakra inside the Box of Paradise has accumulated to a certain level. Next, Yokogawa Tsutomu will be able to open the box with a little more effort.
How could Mu Yue kill him when he had such a good worker to use?
If you have to cut it, do it after you have used it up.
Mu Yue had to admit that Yokogawa Tsutomu's efforts extended his life a little longer.
If Mu Yue hadn't seen that the Box of Bliss was about to be opened, he would definitely not have bothered to wait and would have gone through the normal process to complete the task.
After all, there will be opportunities to train his disciples in the future, and he may not be able to find anything useful in the research after opening the Box of Bliss.
But if this is something that can be done easily, then the cost-effectiveness will be high, after all, you are here anyway.
"What you have to do is to find solid evidence of the cooperation between Iwagakure and Kusagakure, and then be ready to become the leader of Kusagakure at any time." Mu Yue arranged.
In fact, it doesn't matter if Long Fei doesn't do the former, because Mu Yue can get this kind of thing anytime she wants. Mu Yue wants to test Long Fei's character.
If Long Fei chooses to help them find solid evidence and bring down Yokogawa Tsutomu even though he thinks they don't have any, it means that Long Fei still has a clear mind and may be useful in the future.
If Long Fei chose to communicate privately with Yokogawa Tsutomu and tell him about Mu Yue's coming to Kusagakure Village, then Mu Yue would be replaced by a smart person to become the leader of Kusagakure Village.
Regardless of whether Mu Yue has the ability to find evidence, during the war, Konoha does not really need such real evidence. A reason is enough.
"I will finish it as soon as possible, Lord Mu Yue." Long Fei promised.
After listening to Mu Yue's words, Long Fei breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Konoha chose to support him, the Flower of Grass, as the leader, the Grass Village will not suffer a devastating disaster.
However, weakening is definitely inevitable, and most of the top leaders of Kusa no Mitsuru will have to die.
In Long Fei's opinion, this was already a good ending. At least it was not like Lieyang Muyue broke into the Kusagakure office building and killed all the Kusagakure high-ranking officials and then launched an indiscriminate attack on the entire Kusagakure Village.
