Gou in the ninja world

Chapter 141 Cause and Effect
"Okay, let's talk about the specific situation after we get new news."

After discussing for a while, Hiruzaru Sarutobi raised his hand, suppressed people's arguments, and spoke again.

Although Nara Shikahisa's analysis is reasonable, it doesn't mean that it must be true. No one can be sure what Luo Sha thinks. Perhaps, this may really be a misunderstanding.

It's best not to act rashly before getting the exact information.

"Well, Jiraiya has now left for Sand Hikari."

Tsunade said that the conflict between the two big countries is not a trivial matter. For others, it is difficult to obtain accurate information in a short period of time, so he can only let the one with the strongest investigative ability come and go. With his ability and experience , the most accurate information can definitely be obtained.

"If everything goes well, we will be able to get accurate information about noon tomorrow."

"That's good."

Turning to sleep, Xiaochun nodded slowly. She was very relieved about Jiraiya's intelligence gathering ability. If even Jiraiya couldn't find out anything, then no one in Konoha Village would be able to find out.

After all, now that the timeline has been greatly shifted, even Yukimura, who is said to be able to see the future, has already become half blind.

"Then, after further information is delivered, we will make specific arrangements for the next stage."

Sarutobi Hiru nodded and said, then looked down at the ninjas below: "However, no matter what the truth is, everyone should be more vigilant during this time. We still don't know whether it was an accident or an enemy's conspiracy, and we can't be sure. Will there be Konoha's position in this conspiracy, but no matter what, we must make any preparations to guard against all possible changes."

"Yes."

All the ninjas replied in unison, they all know that at this moment when the war is about to break out, Muye Village must be stable, no matter what happens in the future, there will be no turmoil.

"and also……"

Tsunade paused, and his eyes fell on a person in the crowd: "In order to prevent the situation from expanding and unexpected changes, I plan to send a team of elites to the border, and the Hyuga clan needs to send some people."

"I understand."

Sitting at the bottom, Hyuga Hyuzu at the front responded slowly, even if Tsunade didn't say anything, he would prepare for this kind of thing. The white eyes of the Hyuga clan have strong investigative capabilities, which are especially suitable for strategic investigations. Naturally, they should do their part at this time .

"I will pick a few ninjas with outstanding pupil power and let them go to the border to garrison together."

"it is good."

Tsunade said with satisfaction, and then turned his gaze to the other side.

"As for the defense and patrol work in the village, the Uchiha clan and the Inuzuka clan will be left to you."

"understood."

Uchiha Fugaku and Inuzuka Claw replied at the same time.

"Yukimura..."

Immediately afterwards, Tsunade's eyes turned to Yukimura again.

"The ninja school is also an important point. You are the highest-level ninja among all the teachers. Although it is unlikely, if there is any accident, you must protect the students and reach the shelter safely."

"Yes."

Yukimura nodded lightly, even though he didn't know what happened to Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja, and whether any accidents would really happen, and, to be honest, he still had some doubts about this series of unexpected accidents. Kind of panicked.

However, even though he was a little scared, he still accepted Tsunade's order without hesitation. It had nothing to do with character or attitude towards life, but as a teacher, the most basic obligation and responsibility to students.

Next, Tsunade issued a series of orders based on different possibilities, because each department needs to convene manpower for further arrangements and arrangements. This meeting did not last for a long time and ended soon. Ninjas They all arranged specific matters according to the arrangement at the meeting. In the afternoon of that day, an elite team led by Hinata left Konoha and headed for the western border.

As Tsunade estimated, at noon the next day, Jiraiya's information was sent back to Konoha through Anbu's secret network, bringing the latest information.

"Although the details are not yet accurate, at least we have learned the general process of the matter."

within the ghost.

After the information was obtained, the bigwigs of Muye Village got together again.

Due to time constraints, even Zilai could not fully investigate the ins and outs of the matter in such a short period of time, so what was sent this time was only a rough version.

But even a rough version is enough for Konoha Village to understand a rough process.

Tsunade looked at the information in his hand and told the people present.

"According to the information Jiraiya received from Sain, this attack does not seem to be a planned military operation by Sain."

"Information shows that three days ago, the Daimyo of the Bird Kingdom, who had taken the joint Chunin exam, left Konoha Village under the protection of the guards we arranged. A day and a half later, they arrived at the border of the Nation of Fire, and the Daimyo stayed at the border. The guard group took over the escort task, prepared to pass through the country of grass, and then led the team directly to the country of birds."

"Crossing the country of grass and advancing in a straight line?"

Turning to bed Xiaochun nodded lightly. If they are traveling, this is indeed the fastest way. According to the normal speed, they only need half a day to reach the destination of the bird country.

"But, that's where the problem lies."

Tsunade raised his head and said, pointing out the key point. If you go to the country of birds, the country of grass is indeed the fastest way, but it is precisely because of this that they will face Sand Ninja.

"That afternoon, at the border between the Country of Grass and the Country of Wind, Daimyo and his party from the Country of Birds met a group of Sand Shinobi who were on patrol. There appears to have been some unpleasant altercation."

"Then, that night, when the sand ninjas checked, they found that the leader of the sand ninja team who led the patrol mission that day had been killed in his room at some point."

"It seems that this is the fuse."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said, in this way, at least the reason for the conflict is clear.

The murder of Sand Ninja's team leader is indeed a reason for trouble.

"Yeah." Tsunade looked at the information in his hand: "Information said that the sand ninja at that time was quite restrained. Although there was a murder, he didn't do it directly right away, but took some people to the bird. Guo Daming’s residence, and intends to conduct some searches and tests to see if the other party is the person who did the trick.”

"As a result, the search turned into a scuffle for some reason, because many people had already died, and we couldn't know the details. We only know that in that battle, Daimyo Tonokuni and Nagisa Iwanin Oda were killed. people kill."

"That's the basic story of this attack."

After finishing speaking, Tsunade raised his head and looked at the crowd, wanting to hear their views on this matter.

"So, the key factor in this attack is the slain sand ninja."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was silent for a few seconds before analyzing.

The information from Jiraiya is quite clear, at least the cause and process are roughly there. The initial cause of the incident was a quarrel between the two sides, and the fuse was the murder of Sand Shinobi. Both things are key. If it didn’t happen Without such a conflict, the subsequent series of events would not have occurred.

"What was the reason for the quarrel between Sand Ninja and the messenger group at the beginning? Are there any further and more specific clues?"

Turning to bed Xiaochun asked immediately, although the process is clear, how the conflict happened is still a mystery. Generally speaking, those who can become the captain of the border patrol are experienced, mature and stable characters, and it is impossible to get along with them so easily. Others have conflicts, and, as the daimyo of the country of birds, there is no reason to fight with the ninjas of the country of wind, whose national power is far stronger than his.

This made her a little puzzled. Perhaps something unknown happened during that quarrel, which led to the subsequent murder.

"I don't know." Tsunade shook his head: "Most members of the envoy group have been killed, and Sand Shinobi didn't seem to mention the quarrel that happened before, so the information about this part is very vague, I just know that there is such a thing It just happened."

"But..." She said, picked up the information on the table, flipped it backwards, and continued: "As for the identity of the killed sand ninja, Jiraiya has already found out."

"Lord Hokage."

Before she could finish speaking, someone suddenly interrupted Tsunade's conversation.

Beside Hiruzaru Sarutobi, Shikakumo Nara, who had been sitting silently thinking from the beginning until now, opened his eyes and turned to look at Tsunade with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

"I want to ask, about the murdered sand ninja, his name, should it be called..."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, a sharp light flashed in his deep pupils, and after pondering for a while, he opened his mouth slowly and uttered a few words.

"Yura?"

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze for a moment. Amidst Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others looking thoughtful, Tsunade slowly turned his head and looked at Nara Shikahisa with the same gaze.

"you guessed right."

She replied like this.

"His name is Yuliang."

"Yura?"

Turning to bed, Xiaochun frowned slightly. The name sounded familiar to her, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

"Wait, are you talking about that Yura?"

After thinking about it for a while, she instantly realized that of course she had heard the name before. In the future that Yukimura saw, Sand Ninja Village had a Jonin controlled by the Red Sand Scorpion, and his name was Yura .

"It looks like it's Yura."

Tsunade looked down at the information in his hands. They all had some impressions of this person: "Jirai should have the same suspicion, so he collected a lot of information about him."

"This Yura..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned, the appearance of this name represented another very serious possibility: "I thought that after the Scarlet Sand Scorpion was captured, there would be no problems, but it seems Scorpion's ninjutsu is not unique to Scorpion. By the way, does Luo Sha know nothing about his situation? Could it be that Scorpion didn't really change his mind?"

"About that, it doesn't seem to be the case."

Tsunade said while looking down at the information on Yura collected by Jiraiya.

"From personal information, this Yura used to be the captain of the Sand Ninja Village Guard. With his position, he was also one of the high-level officials in the village at that time. However, after the red sand scorpion was arrested, He was quickly changed positions. Not only did he lose his high-level status, but he was also sent to the border area by Luo Sha under other pretexts to serve as the squad leader of the patrol team. From this point of view, Luo Sha did not have nothing. Looks like you know."

"So, Luo Sha deliberately transferred him out of the village, in order to prevent possible accidents."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded, this approach is no problem, no matter what Yura said, he was also Saken's Jonin, and he had served as a high-level executive. There is no real evidence, but because of Scorpio's confession, such a person with a high reputation Imprisonment or execution of ninjas of prestige and merit is difficult and unconvincing.

Jonin are rare, and it is not easy to train a Junin, especially for Sand Yin, who is already short of manpower, Junin is even rarer, and the indispensable high-level combat power, when the opponent does not have a clear rebellion Before there are any signs, or before planning to do something unfavorable to the village, acting hastily is not only an act of cutting off one's own hands and feet, but it is more likely to cause panic among other people in the village.

Therefore, what the fourth Kazekage did was to transfer him away from important positions, away from the village and the core area with many residents, and send him to the country of grass and the The Kingdom of Birds guards the borders and is responsible for the defense of that part of the area, so it can be regarded as an afterthought.

This is basically the same as Konoha's strategy for the Uchiha clan after the Nine-Tails incident.

However, he probably didn't expect that even though he had already taken precautions, something went wrong. Even if he was transferred far away, those who wanted to make trouble could still make trouble. , There will be an elite ninja from Iwanin Village.

"But in this way, the situation will become clear."

Tsunade raised his head and made eye contact with other people. Regardless of the specifics of this incident, as long as he knows the name Yura, the secret behind it is almost obvious.

"Since the problem was caused by Yura in the first place, there is no doubt that the mastermind behind this attack is..."

Having said that, several people looked at each other, their eyes sank, and they uttered a word in unison.

"dawn!"
