Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

After reading it, Tsunade put down the letter in her hand.

He looked up at Shizune and said, "Shizune, sound the alarm and gather all the ninjas in the village."

Shizune was stunned, but immediately replied, "Yes, Lady Tsunade."

After saying that, he ran out.

Tsunade's expression was very serious.

"Yu Ming, it seems the ninja world is in big trouble."

"The priestess of the Land of Demons used powerful ninjutsu to seal it away. Why would such a demon reappear in the ninja world now? It must be because ninjas have invaded the place in the Land of Demons where the demon's soul was sealed."

Tsunade knew very well how terrifying the demons were back then; many countries were destroyed because of his ghost army.

Even the ninjas of Konoha couldn't do anything about it back then, because the demon was impossible to kill. In the end, it was the priestess who had to sacrifice her life to seal the demon away.

This calamity was no less severe than any of the Fourth Shinobi World Wars, and even the Fourth Shinobi World Wars did not result in as many deaths as this calamity.

Those lifeless stone statues destroyed many countries in a very short time; they were simply impossible to kill.

Ordinary ninja techniques have no effect on them.

However, this is also why the Land of Demons, as a small country, was able to exist in the ninja world for so long.

It's because this country has a priestess; whenever a demon is born, the priestess is the only one who can seal it away.

Therefore, none of the five great nations have ever attacked the Land of Demons over the years.

This country also has no ninjas; its army consists of samurai.

Because Yu Ming enjoys studying strange and unusual events in the ninja world, he is well aware of the harm caused by the demons.

That was a monster that truly terrified the five great nations.

When Yu Ming first saw this record, he almost thought it was a completely different species from the monster he had imagined.

According to the records of the ninja world, that demon could not possibly be sealed away by Naruto.

The priestess at that time was definitely at the peak of the Kage level. With the special power of the priestess, her strength may have even surpassed the Kage level.

However, it seems that the priestesses have always been there to prevent the emergence of demons, so they have always been able to guard the land of demons.

Furthermore, the Land of Demons is a small country, and its army is composed entirely of samurai, so it is not as aggressive as the Land of Rain.

During the Second Shinobi World War, the Land of Rain, a small country, fought against three opponents: Konoha, Sunagakure, and then the Land of Iron.

It's because Amegakure is a medium-sized ninja village, and it produced a Hanzo, a peak Kage-level ninja.

The title of Hanzo, the demigod, wasn't something he boasted about; it was given to him by others.

At his peak, he certainly possessed the strength of a Kage-level expert. However, in his later years, he lost his ambition and actually hid in the Land of Iron to enjoy his old age.

He was eventually killed by Payne.

He's already at the age of the Third Hokage.

The shrine maiden's strength is about the same.

However, apart from priestesses, the Land of Demons has no ninjas at all; they are all samurai.

Therefore, the priestesses of the Land of Demons never had the kind of reckless, wandering thoughts that Hanzo had.

Moreover, she also needs to guard the altar that seals the demons.

To prevent the demons from being unable to be sealed after they are born.

However, not every generation of priestesses has the opportunity to seal it.

Because not just anyone can release a demon.

Yu Ming looked at Tsunade and asked, "What do you mean by the Land of Demons?"

Tsunade sighed. "The Land of Demons wants us to send people to protect the priestess, and they have also asked several other ninja villages for help."

Yu Ming was taken aback; it seemed different from what he remembered.

Didn't we only ask Konoha for help?

Why did they even ask the Five Great Ninja Villages for help?

Tsunade smiled wryly, "But now each ninja village has its own agenda, and only Kumogakure has sent people to the Land of Demons to provide support."

Yu Ming thought about it for a while, and then finally understood why the other major powers had not made any moves.

Because the Land of Demons is right next to Konoha, and it has nothing to do with the other major powers.

Yu Ming was speechless. Even at this point, these major powers were still doing these things.

"I didn't expect that Kumogakure would send reinforcements."

Logically speaking, the Hidden Cloud Village is the furthest from the Land of Demons.

Tsunade thought of the Fourth Raikage, that brute who used a trick to win against her in an arm wrestling match.

"That guy's decision really surprised me."

Thinking of this, Yu Ming smiled wryly, "No wonder there are so few rogue ninjas in Kumogakure; this village seems quite harmonious."

Although the Fourth Raikage may seem like a brute, he is actually quite shrewd and capable of uniting the ninjas of Kumogakure. This kind of ability is something that a brute could never possess.

He even lost to Minato Namikaze, but he didn't feel ashamed at all, and even wrote the details of this battle in the history of the Hidden Cloud Village.

It's no coincidence that Kumogakure has become the strongest of the five great ninja villages.

Yu Ming laughed and said, "Then we in Konoha should definitely send people too, since they're right next to us."

Tsunade raised her head and looked at Yu Ming. "I plan to send you to protect the priestess. I will lead the Konoha ninja to the border of the Land of Fire to stop the ghost army."

Because the Ghost Army has already destroyed several countries, Tsunade has to make two preparations.

Yu Ming nodded. "Yes, I can manage on my own."

Tsunade shook her head. "No, it's not convenient for you. The priestess is a girl, how could you, a man, be suitable? I'll arrange a squad for you, and you can be the Jonin leading the squad."

Kakashi is currently in the hospital and has not yet recovered, while Yamato has been sent by Tsunade to follow Naruto.

Therefore, Tsunade now has no choice but to lead her troops to the border of the Land of Fire to defend against the Ghost Legion.

Yu Ming smiled wryly and said, "My abilities are enough for one person."

"Besides, what difference is there between men and women among ninjas?"

Tsunade completely ignored Yu Ming's words and called out, "Fox, come in."

As soon as Tsunade finished speaking, Uzuki Yugao appeared in front of her.

He was only wearing the fox mask of the Anbu (Anbu).

Yu Ming smiled wryly, "Sister Xi Yan, this time it won't be you and me going, will it?"

Uzuki Yugao didn't speak, nor did she remove the mask from her face.

Tsunade then said, "This time, Yugao, Neji, and Lee will be going with you."

What Tsunade didn't say was that, currently, the only ninja in Konoha without missions are these few people.

Yu Ming thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Since Yu Ming became a Hokage's bodyguard, Uzuki Yugao has rarely seen him.

The main problem is that we won't be able to see them anymore.

Previously, Uzuki Yugao could go and chat with Yuming, but now Yuming is even living in the Senju clan.

They're either in the Hokage's office, making it difficult to even meet.

Tsunade wrote some words on a scroll, put it away, and handed it to Yu Ming, saying, "Take this scroll and go find Neji and Lee. Your mission this time is to escort the Priestess to seal away the demon. This mission is very important. The Priestess's safety is related to the safety of the world."

Hearing this, Yu Ming became much more serious.

Tsunade continued, "This mission is an S-rank mission, Yu Ming. I believe in you, but you must come back safely."

Yu Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Hokage, I will definitely come back safely."

Holding the scroll, Yu Ming and Uzuki Yugao went outside.

Tsunade rested her chin on her hands, frowned, and said in a low voice, "Yu Ming, the safety of the world depends entirely on you."

Although she was very confident in Yu Ming's strength, Tsunade was also well aware of just how terrifying the demon was.

Back then, even the combined forces of the five great ninja villages couldn't kill them. If it weren't for the priestess's intervention, the world might have truly been destroyed.

Yu Ming didn't really take the demons seriously.

However, it seems that the ninjutsu of the ninja world has little effect on it; only the ninjutsu of the shrine maiden is effective against it.

Moreover, this wraith belongs to a demon from another world, and is not a creature from the ninja world at all.

However, Yu Ming felt that since the shrine maiden's ninjutsu was effective against it, his own ninjutsu should also be effective against it.

After finding Lee and Neji with Uzuki Yugao, the four of them quickly set off.

On the way, Yu Ming looked at Mao Yue Xi Yan and smiled, "Xi Yan, it's been a long time. You've become even more beautiful."

Uzuki Yugao is now very silent because Gekko Hayate is dead.

She was a little sad.

After Yu Ming became a special Jonin and Tsunade's bodyguard, he stopped talking to Uzuki Yugao.

She has become much more silent over the years.

They were all traveling at a fast pace, but for ninjas, communicating at high speed was a normal thing.

Uzuki Yugao looked at Yu Ming for a long time before saying, "It has indeed been a long time since we last met; it's been three years."

Hearing this, Yu Ming knew that it was a complaint against him.

Yu Ming smiled wryly, "It's not that I haven't had time. I've been cultivating diligently all these years."

"Don't worry, Sister Xiyan, I will definitely protect your safety this time."

For Yu Ming, Uzuki Yugao was definitely a very important woman in his life.

She's not a lover, but someone like an older sister.
