Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 94 The War Begins

Three days later.

Just before reaching the border, a messenger eagle landed in front of Kakashi.

Kakashi took out the intelligence report, glanced at it, and said, "Three days ago, a reconnaissance team from the border forces discovered that Kumogakure has already used the lands of Frost and Hot Springs as a route."

Three days ago?

Yun twitched the corner of his mouth. Three days ago, Yunyin had just learned the news and had already traveled through the Land of Frost and the Land of Hot Water to reach the border of the Land of Fire.

In this situation, it's clear that Yunyin would need to set off three days in advance to achieve this.

If it wasn't premeditated, could it be that they had the ability to predict the future?

Kakashi released the communication hawk. Although it was already late at night, the two Cloud Village ninjas who were eager to get going were clearly not going to rest.

"Should we follow them? They probably want us to meet exhausted."

Yun nodded slightly, "No matter what, these two need to see them return to the Cloud Hidden team with their own eyes. As for their purpose, it wouldn't be bad to discuss it tonight."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two quickened their pace and followed the Cloud Village ninja ahead.

……

"Whoosh..."

At the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Hot Water, a large bridge connects the two countries.

Meanwhile, Yun and Kakashi landed on the bridgehead on the Fire Country side.

In the woods behind them, border troops and the already arrived secret agents were already lying in ambush.

Meanwhile, the two Cloud Village ninjas who had been following them quickly crossed the bridge and arrived in front of the Cloud Village ninjas led by Killer Bee.

"Master, mission accomplished."

He recounted the entire mission in a low voice, then took out the sealing scroll. After a puff of smoke, the dead Cloud Village envoy appeared in front of Killer Bee.

Killer Bee looked at the already cold corpse, and instead of rapping, murmured in a low voice, "Was it worth it at the cost of sacrifice?"

Mabui stepped forward and whispered, "This is the fate of a ninja. In order for the village to have a bloodline limit like the Byakugan in future wars, his death will be remembered by the village."

Samui, standing behind him, reminded him, "They're here. From now on, Lord Bi doesn't need to show up. Mabuyi and I will handle the negotiations with them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kakashi and Yun had already reached the center of the bridge.

Mabui looked at the two and asked, "It seems that Konoha has failed to fulfill the Raikage's request. Therefore, may I consider this a provocation against Kumogakure?"

Kakashi shook his head slightly: "The Hokage has already recounted the whole story in the message. If Hiashi hadn't tried to kidnap the Hyuga clan's heir first, he wouldn't have made a move."

"And although his injuries appeared to be caused by Gentle Fist, the Hyuga clan head killed him instantly with just one empty palm strike."

"In this situation, we have to consider whether Yunyin had planned this all along."

Mabui shook her head as well: "I don't understand what you're saying. The Hidden Cloud Village has always maintained peace, and it is on this basis that it has taken the initiative to send a signal to Konoha to form an alliance."

"However, the ninja who represented the Hidden Clouds on their mission to Konoha was killed by the head of the Hyuga clan in Konoha after just two words of argument."

"Now that you refuse to hand over the murderer, I have reason to believe that Konoha is provoking Kumogakure, and may even be willing to start a war!"

Kakashi awkwardly prepared to continue his rebuttal, but Yun stopped him by reaching out.

Then, Yun stepped forward and looked at Mabuyi, saying, "Let Kirabi come out. There's no need to continue discussing the issues that we all know the answers to."

As soon as he finished speaking, Killer Bee, who had been blocked by Samui in the Hidden Cloud Village, stepped out.

Yun looked at him and smiled, "You all know very well what exactly happened."

"By the way, tell me your plans. If Kumogakure is truly so despicable and shameless, then we will accept the challenge. Konoha has never feared war!"

After he finished speaking, Killer Bee remained silent for a long time.

A gentle breeze blew across the bridge, and then Killer Bee slightly raised his head and made his famous hand gesture:

"Despicable and shameless, not Yunyin!"

Just for the sake of the village, they still have to make sacrifices!

Uchiha brats are not afraid of war!

There's no room for compromise, only victory or defeat! Yeah!

After listening to the series of raps, Yun understood that Konoha had not compromised to let Killer Bee escape his inner dissatisfaction, but he was also not afraid of war.

At that moment, Samui, standing behind him, stepped forward, looked at Yun and Kakashi, and then, sensing their presence, glanced into the forest: "Lord Raikage has ordered that if Konoha does not hand over Hyuga Hiashi, the murderer of the Cloud Village envoy, within a week, then war will break out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the group from Yunyin disappeared in an instant.

Kirabi glanced at the cloud one last time and gave it a thumbs up.

……

"A week? Send the intelligence back to Konoha. Once it's confirmed that Konoha won't compromise, there won't be a week. The war has begun!"

Yun turned and left, leaving Kakashi behind with a solemn expression.

From this day forward, the blood of the two ninja villages will begin to flow along the border until the war ends.

A ninja hawk took off from behind, and the number of border guards had more than tripled in the past few days.

Inside the camp, Yun and Kakashi were discussing their next mission.

"I don't understand the issue of deployment because I haven't experienced war, but with my speed, I can serve as a support team and an assault team."

Yun, with great self-awareness, refrained from offering unsolicited advice. In a world where extraordinary abilities are absent but airplanes and cannons are lacking, the nature of warfare would be fundamentally different.

In fact, even Kakashi did not make any changes to the original Level 1 alert level of the border troops.

Kakashi glanced at the map on the table: "The troops will set off immediately after the intelligence is sent back to the village. This is a preparation that has been made long ago."

"Before that, the Hyuga and Uchiha ninjas who arrived yesterday will be assigned to each reconnaissance team by you and me."

"There are twenty-three guard posts along the border, all equipped with perimeter barriers and communication equipment. From now on, you and I will be on standby as a support team."

Kakashi then looked at the Cloud Village and said, "You're the fastest, so you'll be in charge of the first support team, and I'll be in the second team. Once the Cloud Village makes a move, both sides must resolve the battle as quickly as possible and then head to the other location to provide support."

Yun nodded to indicate that he understood, then asked with a puzzled look, "Before leaving, Shisui mentioned that a group of Uchiha people would arrive here ahead of time, but I still don't know who will be leading them. What about the Hyuga? Who will be leading them?"

Kakashi smiled and said, "The first group will be led by Hyuga Hizashi. Three days later, Hyuga Hiashi will bring the second group of Hyuga clan members."

Yun nodded. Having Byakugan's reconnaissance abilities would indeed make things much easier.
