Chapter 159: Moon Country Mission

On the other side, after using a bamboo stem to absorb most of the chakra from the prisoner, Ryūha successfully cast an illusion on the enemy while he was weak.

"Tell me! Where are you ninjas from?"

Looking at the confused dark-skinned assassin in front of him, Liu Yu asked coldly. After all, this was an assassination attempt against the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. If he were not careful, it would trigger a new ninja war.

"Cloud Hidden Village"

The assassin in the illusion answered Liuyu's interrogation intermittently.

"It's actually Yunyin Village. It's been such a troubled time!"

After hearing the assassin's answer, Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh. Cloud Hidden Village, as the only ninja village currently at war with Konoha, launched an assassination operation against the Fire Nation's daimyo at this time, and it was almost foreseeable that a new war was about to break out.

After knowing the identity of the enemy, Liu Yu stopped asking questions and handed it over to the samurai who was cleaning the battlefield. All that's left is to wait, just wait for the order from above, which is what Zhan Shihe and Quan are from the upper-level bosses.

That night, a figure took advantage of the darkness to leave the City of Fire and headed towards the confrontation zone in the Moon Country.

In the forest, a black shadow was advancing rapidly. The black shadow was running at such a high speed that it startled the birds in the forest. Soon after, the shadow stopped. Looking at the camp ahead, Liu Yu said softly: "We're finally here!"

After the assassination incident, the daimyo quickly got the information that the assassin was sent by Yunyin Village. Regarding this assassination, the daimyo seemed very angry and asked Minato Namikaze, who was the Hokage, to launch revenge. It would be best to send elite ninjas to the capital of the Land of Thunder to assassinate the daimyo of the Land of Thunder as well.

As for whether they can successfully kill the famous names of the Kingdom of Thunder, this is not important at all. What is important is to let the guys in the Kingdom of Thunder know the anger of the Kingdom of Fire.

Namikaze Minato strongly opposed the decision made by the daimyo in anger. On the surface, Konoha won the Third Ninja War and was the biggest winner in the Third Ninja War. But as the head of Konoha, Namikaze Minato naturally knows that Konoha is currently in its weakest state.

After successive fierce battles between Konoha and Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Kusagakure, and Kirigakure, the number of ninjas in the village has dropped to a critical point. Even in the later stages of the war, in order to make up for the lack of frontline combat power, Konoha's top brass turned a blind eye and sent a large number of children who were supposed to study in ninja schools to the battlefield.

The days of peace have not passed long now, and the new generation of ninja in the village has not yet been trained, and Konoha is simply unable to fight a new war.

Cloud Hidden Village is a martial arts ninja village that respects swordsmanship and ninja physical skills. Among the five major ninja villages, the ninja military strength is second only to Konoha. Konoha was a formidable opponent in all the great ninja wars. Even the second Hokage Senju Tobirama died at the hands of Kumogakure's Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

Kumogakure Village is generally aggressive. Even in peacetime, it will launch predatory attacks on various small ninja villages and families for unique forbidden techniques. The war consciousness in the village is very strong. On the other hand, Yunyin Village as a whole appears to be very united. Among the five major ninja villages, the rebel ninjas in Yunyin Village are the rarest.

Except for Yunyin Village, which suffered greater losses in the battle with Yanyin Village, its strength was relatively intact. In a sense, now that a war breaks out, Kumoyin Village has an advantage over Konoha. This is also an important reason why Kumoyin Village insists on not signing a peace agreement with Konoha.

It was precisely because he knew this that Namikaze Minato denied the daimyo's request to launch a new round of attacks on Kumogakure in the Moon Country, as well as the assassination operation that was very likely to intensify the conflict between the two sides.

Konoha now looks extremely weak and cannot withstand the torment of a new war. But this matter cannot be let go. After all, the Fire Country is the winner of the Ninja World War, so it is naturally impossible for Yunyin Village to bully it like this.

Therefore, after a short discussion, Namikaze Minato sent Ryūha to the front line first to deal with the possible actions of Kumogakure ninjas in the Moon Country area. At the same time, Ryūha also brought a secret letter from Minato Namikaze to Ken Shimura.

When he heard the news that Liu Yu had arrived, Shimura Ken seemed very excited. Before Liu Yu could settle down, Shimura Ken ran over in a hurry. Looking at Shimura Ken with red eyes, Liu Yu couldn't help but be stunned. Why did this man become so haggard?

"Come on, come on! Come this way, let's talk slowly."

Shimura Ken couldn't help but pull Liu Yu to the tent for discussion, and Liu Yu didn't resist. She knew that Shimura Ken must have encountered something extremely troublesome now.

As soon as he entered the meeting tent, Liu Yu saw a dozen ninjas discussing something intensely. These people should be the Konoha jounin on the front line of Moon Country. Seeing Liu Yu walking in, the Konoha jounin who seemed extremely noisy before suddenly became quiet.

"After Lord Hokage defeated the Abby combination of Kumo Hidden Village and the death of the third generation of Raikage, Kumo Hidden Village withdrew its main force to the Kingdom of Thunder. In order to deal with opponents on other fronts, Konoha also changed its main force They were sent to other fronts. After that, the number of ninjas facing each other in the Moon Country remained at around a thousand."

As they walked, Shimura Ken explained the current situation to Liu Yu. And Liu Yu nodded slightly, indicating that she knew all this.

"During this confrontation period, the two sides maintained a tacit peace. Although the two sides did not sign a peace agreement, they would not actively launch attacks on each other. Both sides only conducted routine patrols within their respective control areas, even occasionally. They will avoid each other when they encounter each other.”

"But just a few days ago, our routine patrol team was suddenly attacked by the Cloud Village Ninja. There were a total of 32 people in the eight patrol teams, but only two people escaped with injuries."

At this point, a trace of anger flashed in Shimura Ken's eyes.

"After that, in order to investigate the situation, we sent out several reconnaissance teams, but the Cloud Village's protection measures were very good. We paid a heavy price in casualties, and we only got the information that the reinforcements sent by the Cloud Village had arrived at the front line of the Moon Country. But it is not clear how many ninjas the Cloud Village reinforcements are, and where the Cloud Village reinforcements are stationed."

While speaking, Shimura Ken cleaned up the debris on the table, then spread out a map, pointing and continuing:

"This! This! And this! These places are where our patrols were attacked by the Cloud Village Ninja. Because of the combat power advantage of the Cloud Village, our patrol warning belt has now moved back a lot!"

At this point, all the Konoha senior ninjas in the camp, including Shimura Ken, turned their eyes to Liu Yu. Just when they were worried about not being able to get information about the Hidden Cloud Village, a reconnaissance jonin was sent from behind.

"I understand!"

Looking at the expectant eyes of the crowd, Liu Yu nodded carefully and said that Namikaze Minato had arranged to scout the enemy's intelligence when he sent himself to the front line of the Moon Country.

Although it is not clear how many reinforcements the Hidden Cloud Village has sent, it is certain that at the front line of the Moon Country, Konoha is already at an absolute disadvantage in terms of combat power.

If they are not prepared in advance, the Hidden Cloud Village may break through the defense line of the Moon Country and attack the mainland of the Fire Country.
