Country of Grass, South.

Due to its border with the Country of Fire and the beautiful environment, the southern part of the Country of Grass is considered a relatively developed place in the entire Country of Grass.

Of course, only before the war begins.

After the war, the southern part of the Kingdom of Grass was the area most affected by the war in the entire Kingdom of Grass.

Residents fled, caravans did not dare to come and go, and the destruction of ninja battles, various factors caused the south to lose its peacetime prosperity.

"It's really unacceptable. These big countries are starting a war on our soil, causing our economy to decline, and we still have to help."

The patrolling grass ninja looked at the deserted village and couldn't help but express the resentment in his heart.

Their Grass Ninja Village is not as well-known as the five great Ninja Villages. There are not many foreigners who would specially come to the Grass Ninja Village to announce their commissions. They mainly rely on the support of their own people.

However, the war between Iwagakure and Konoha in the Country of Grass had a very bad impact on the Country of Grass. The economy of the Country of Grass declined, and the money available to the Kusanagi Village also decreased.

The leading grass ninja quickly looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he found no Konoha ninja.

They are a team from the Grass Ninja Village supporting the Konoha Ninja Force. Before returning to the Grass Ninja Village, they must obey the command of the Konoha Ninja.

"Who made our top leaders incompetent? Damn Tsutomu Yokokawa collaborated with Iwagakure for his own selfish interests and caused the hostility between the village and Konoha." The leader of the grass ninjas spat unceremoniously at the incoming grass ninja leader who was already dead.

If Tsutomu Yokokawa hadn't caused the trouble and they had just kept quiet, they might have been able to live a better life.

In order to make up for Yokokawa Tsutomu's mistake, Kusanoin Village was forced to become an ally with Konoha to help Konoha fight against Iwagakure.

"There is nothing we can do about it now, and it is better to follow Konoha than Iwagakure. Konoha is more powerful, and Lieyang Muyue has also helped the village solve problems." A grass ninja said helplessly.

If we look at it from a worse perspective, Iwagakure is still worse.

"Just rest here, it will be dangerous if you encounter the Iwagakure ninja." The leader of the grass ninja jumped to a high place and observed the surroundings before saying.

In name, they were here to help Konoha, but he didn't want to really help Konoha, just show up.

After all, if they died at the hands of Iwagakure, Konoha would definitely not pay pensions to their families.

The other Kusanagi immediately sat down after hearing this without any hesitation.

It's okay to fight for your own village. If you are still active in fighting for Konoha, then there is something wrong.

Poof!

Just as the leader Kusanagi wanted to say something, the next moment, a heartbreaking pain hit him, and a black kunai penetrated his chest and pierced into his body.

The head grass ninja's eyes widened with disbelief on his face, "How could it be possible? Obviously..."

Before the leader Kusanagi could finish his last words, he fell down, and the body lying on the ground still stared with confusion on his face.

"Captain! Damn Iwagakure, when did you come here?"

The Kusanagi were trained ninjas after all, and they quickly noticed the murderous activities of the "Iwagakure ninja".

Their expressions were as puzzled as the leading Kusanagi. It was obvious that they had already investigated how these Iwagakure ninjas got here.

The unsuspecting Grass Ninja team was quickly wiped out.

Whoosh!

A blond figure kept flashing forward in the forest, moving very fast.

Sensing the dissipating aura, Namikaze Minato frowned slightly and used the teleportation technique with all his strength to speed up again.

But when he arrived, there were only grass ninja corpses lying on the ground, and there was no trace of other ninjas.

"It's like this again. What kind of ninjutsu is it? Even I can't sense it." Namikaze Minato's expression was not very good.

Obviously just half a minute ago, he could still feel the chakra of those murderers, but when he was about to arrive, the chakra aura disappeared.

Although Namikaze Minato is not a full-time sensory ninja, his excellent perception ability is enough to defeat many sensory ninjas in the perception class.

In other words, most of Konoha's sentient ninjas are unable to detect the Iwagakure assassination team hidden by ninjutsu.

"I wonder if the Hyuga clan's Byakugan can be cracked." Namikaze Minato fell into thinking.

The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is different from ordinary perception ninjutsu. The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan uses their eyes to see. Theoretically speaking, the ninjutsu that eliminates aura is useless against the Byakugan.

Namikaze Minato tried to search carefully within ten kilometers of the nearby area, but still could not find the Iwagakure ninja who had just killed the Kusanagi.

After searching to no avail, Minato Namikaze finally returned to the camp using the Flying Thunder God, and reported the information he discovered to Jiraiya.

"I can actually escape in your hands, Minato. It seems that Iwagakure is serious about it." Jiraiya touched his chin and said.

If Jiraiya had only speculated that Iwagakure might fight Konoha in the Land of Grass in the near future, now Jiraiya was almost certain that Iwagakure would launch an attack on Konoha.

"It's not a big problem. Among the ninjas who came to support this time, there are three ninjas from the Hyuga clan, and two of them are jounin." Jiraiya told Minato Namikaze about the reinforcement information he applied for.

Considering the current situation on the battlefield, Jiraiya not only called in the perception team, but also some ANBU for intelligence work.

In the battle of the ninja army, intelligence is a very crucial point.

For a ninja like Minato Namikaze, even if the opponent is a team of hundreds of people, as long as he knows the exact location, Minato Namikaze can kill them all by himself.

At night, Namikaze Minato thought for a while, picked up a pen and paper and prepared to write a letter to Kushina and Mozuki.

In the letter sent to Kushina, most of the content of Minato Namikaze was about peace and family affairs, and there was no mention of war.

Kushina is working hard to become a qualified Jinchuuriki, and Namikaze Minato doesn't want Kushina to worry too much.

Namikaze Minato didn't have so many worries about the letter he wrote to Mu Yue.

It wasn't that it didn't matter that Mu Yue was worried, but Namikaze Minato thought that if something happened to him during the war, Mu Yue could help take care of Kushina.

Even Namikaze Minato, a famous young master in the ninja world today, dare not say that he will definitely survive after the war.

Many Kages died at the hands of ninja troops, and Minato Namikaze didn't feel that he had surpassed the Second Hokage now.

On the other side, the country of grass, the west.

Looking at the ninja troops approaching with serious expressions, a smile appeared on Lishi's face.

"Lord Split Rock, the support force has arrived. There are a total of 800 ninjas, including seven jounin and twelve special jounin..." Huo Guang walked to Split Rock and reported seriously.

Split Rock smiled and nodded.

"Eight hundred support troops, plus my troops also have 1,200 ninjas, that's 2,000 ninja troops. What are you going to do with me, Jiraiya!" Rishi was very excited.

If Jiraiya's ninja force doesn't change much, it should be about a thousand.

Two thousand versus one thousand, the advantage was in his favor, and Li Shi had no idea how to lose.

Coupled with the orders from the top, Split Stone was already thinking about what would happen after he invaded the Fire Country itself.

Rishi quickly held a meeting to discuss the defeat of Konoha's ninja forces.

Even if there are many of them, they can't just rush in and fight without any plan, they have to do it in a planned way.

It may be that the Iwagakure ninjas have been suppressed for too long and released a strong force all at once, or it may be that Rishi's leadership is good, or it may be other reasons.

In short, the situation on the battlefield in the Country of Grass suddenly reversed in two ways.

The Konoha assassination team was quickly eliminated, and Iwagakure's intelligence force repeatedly won and obtained important information about the Konoha forces.

…………

Early morning, the Land of Fire.

Konoha, Southern Forest.

"Everyone except Kakashi and Akai, gather together." Mu Yue summoned the disciples.

"Instead of practicing separately this morning, I want to teach you a new secret technique." Mu Yue explained.

As for why they weren't called Metkai and Kakashi, it's because Metkai is still figuring out the changes in the nature of Yin-type chakra and learning Armament Haki.

Compared to seeing and hearing Haki, Armed Haki is definitely more useful to Metkai.

Kakashi has a transparent world, which partially overlaps with his ability to see and hear Haki. In addition, the chakra is too nervous, so it is not suitable for learning now.

After hearing Mu Yue's words, Zhisui, Obito and other disciples quickly gathered in front of Mu Yue.

"It is a change in the nature of Yin attribute chakra. In terms of type, it can be regarded as a sensory ninjutsu. However, compared with ordinary sensory ninjutsu, it has a good effect in combat and has a similar effect to the transparent world." Mu Yue introduced.

road.

"There are so many new ninjutsus recently." Obito was impressed.

Mu Yue taught a super fire escape blue flame, and the Ninja Sect sent another flame vortex, and now Mu Yue has to teach a new secret technique.

"You can almost feel the action of anticipating the attack, Shisui, please activate your Sharingan and attack me with all your strength." Mu Yue prepared to give a combat demonstration.

Shisui, who was called, nodded and concentrated chakra on his eyes. Scarlet blood soon spread across his eyes, and the three Magatama Sharingan appeared.

"Teacher Muyue, I'm about to go." He reminded him loudly, and Zhisui burst out chakra and rushed to Muyue.

Facing the attack of Zhisui, Mu Yue made an action that was beyond everyone's expectation. He closed his eyes.

"Secret Technique: Seeing, Hearing and Coloring!"

The chakra in the body was stimulated, and Mu Yue's perception became extremely sharp.

"Konoha Tornado!"

Although he was a little surprised by Mu Yue's eyes closing, Shisui did not stop and kicked out the whirlwind kick at high speed.
