Naruto: Start by Unlocking the Power of Death

Ninja missions are all risky. Her father died during a mission...

Therefore, worry is inevitable, even though she knows that Yoruichi is very strong!

However, this is the responsibility of the ninja, no ninja can escape, she can only pray that Yoruichi can return safely...

……

Here, Yoruichi left Hinata Yue's house and returned to her own home. After changing her clothes and putting on her Anbu mask, she went to the Hokage Building.

After knocking on the door and hearing a response from inside, Ye Yi pushed the door open and entered.

At this time, there were already several people waiting inside the Hokage Building, and Yoruichi was the last one to arrive.

"Hokage-sama." Yoruichi saluted respectfully to the Fourth Hokage, then looked at the few people standing in front of the Fourth Hokage, ready to go.

Although they were wearing ANBU masks, Yoruichi still recognized the identities of several people.

Uchiha Shisui, Asuma, and Kakashi, plus him, form a standard team of four.

When the others saw Ye Yi, they also nodded at him.

After seeing the four people greet each other, the fourth generation coughed lightly, attracting the attention of several people present.

He didn't waste any words and said directly: "We have received news from the border that unidentified ninjas have appeared and attacked us. Several teams have lost contact one after another, and even the border outposts have been destroyed..."

"Now all the major ninja villages are in a negotiation period. We must be vigilant against any disturbance. If something goes wrong, war may happen again... This is something we in Konoha do not want to see!"

"These people are probably some ninjas who want to cause unrest again. Hatred has blinded their eyes. They don't want to stop the war and start destroying things everywhere."

"The war has stopped. All ninja villages do not want the war to continue. They cannot afford it. Therefore, this mission is extremely important. This is also your first mission as an Anbu... It is an S-level mission!"

"During the mission, if you encounter ninjas from other ninja villages, try not to conflict with them. Of course, if necessary, you must not tarnish the reputation of our Konoha!"

The Fourth Hokage briefly explained the mission, then looked at the four people and said solemnly: "You are all excellent ninjas of Konoha. I believe you can make your own judgments. This mission is of vital importance and cannot be missed. I hope you can see this clearly!"

"S-level mission..." The four people present all looked stern. They all knew what an S-level mission meant and realized the seriousness of the situation!

No one wants to see war break out again!

The Fourth Hokage said slowly: "Kakashi will lead the team this time. You guys should get some time to get used to each other, then... let's act! I look forward to your return after completing the mission!"

"Yes!" The four of them bowed to the Fourth Generation and left in a flash.

They all came to the Hokage Building after preparing everything, and after receiving the mission, they did not delay and went straight out of the village and headed in one direction.

Several people were moving back and forth in the woods.

Asuma frowned as he walked and said, "The border between Kirigakure and Konoha... Kirigakure is the bloody mist village, where rebellious ninjas often appear. Could it be that the rebellious ninjas from Kirigakure are the ones causing trouble this time? Do they want to start a war again and take revenge on Kirigakure?"

If we were to talk about the village with the most rebel ninjas in the ninja world, it would undoubtedly be Kirigakure.

They started to implement some cruel policies when the Third Mizukage was in power. Their methods of selecting ninjas were very radical, and the selection of Genin was done through fighting.

Their methods are extremely radical and cruel, so the methods used by ninjas from the Hidden Mist are extremely bloody and brutal. When encountering the Hidden Mist Ninjas on the battlefield, many ninjas from other villages will subconsciously feel frightened.

Moreover, the punishment of the Hidden Mist Village for ninjas who failed their mission was extremely severe!

They may even take such extreme measures as depriving their ninja status and imposing the death penalty!

Because of this policy, many Kirigakure ninjas who failed their missions did not dare to go back.

Because if you go back, you will lose your status if you go back, or your life if you go back. Faced with this kind of result, those ninjas who failed in their missions eventually chose to defect out of the village and become rebels!

Apart from anything else, in the original work, even the most famous Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure became rebels...

Chapter 18 Clues

"Kirigakure? It is indeed possible." Uchiha Shisui also said. He had also heard about Kirigakure's policy.

"We still have to wait until we investigate to find out the specific situation..." Kakashi also agreed.

If it was a traitor from Kirigakure, it might not be impossible for him to do such a thing in order to take revenge on Kirigakure.

After all, Kirigakure's cruel policies were indeed a bit fucked up...

Ye Yi also remembered the scene when he was attacked on his way back from the border outpost, and said lightly: "I hope it's not those extreme ninjas whose minds are blinded by hatred. After all, those people are regular ninjas from other villages. If one is not handled well, it will indeed make the situation more serious..."

There are such extreme people in the major ninja villages, and Ye Yi met such people once before.

They have been blinded by hatred and don't want peace in the ninja world at all.

It is quite troublesome to deal with this kind of people. If one is careless and misses any traces, it is very likely that a small-scale battle will evolve into a war between the major ninja villages!

That's why the major ninja villages recalled most of the ninjas back to their respective villages in order to avoid this situation as much as possible.

"The information right now is not enough. Let's rush to the border to investigate as soon as possible." As the leading ninja, Kakashi has absolute say. The information right now is not enough. It would be a waste of time to guess here. It would be better to rush to the border to investigate as soon as possible.

"Yeah." The other three also nodded and sped up a bit.

Indeed, there is not much information right now, so there is no need to make unreasonable guesses here. We still have to wait for them to investigate the specific situation before making a decision!

As Yoruichi walked, he began to think about other things: "At this stage, the Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura should not have been controlled by Obito... nor have we heard that he has become the new Three-Tails Jinchūriki... Is the news well blocked, or has the Three-Tails not been resurrected yet?"

The three-tailed beast also died after Nohara Rin's death.

However, as tailed beasts, they are immortal and will be "resurrected" somewhere in the ninja world as long as they are given time.

Moreover, there is no news that the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, is the Three-Tails Jinchuriki.

There are only two explanations.

One possibility is that the Fourth Mizukage blocked the news very well and no news was passed out.

The second possibility is... the three-tailed beast has not yet been resurrected...

Yoruichi has ideas about the tailed beasts.

After knowing that the "hollow" energy in his [Hollow Mask] has a similar nature to the tailed beast chakra, he wondered if there was a possibility - that is, could the tailed beast chakra charge the [Hollow Mask] and make the [Hollow Mask] usable again?

If possible, this would definitely be a great tool!

Yoruichi has a deep understanding of the power of [Hollow Mask]. It is a powerful move that can directly defeat the Third Raikage!

If it can still be used, Ye Yi will have more means to save his life in the face of dangerous situations in the future!

……

The group moved quite fast and within a few days, the four-member team quickly arrived at the border between the two countries.

The Konoha outpost located here has been destroyed and turned into a ruin.

"How tragic! Were all the people inside wiped out?" Kakashi saw the bodies of Konoha lying on the ground, and a hint of anger flashed across his face.

"Who on earth did this? It's so inhumane!" Asuma's face was heavy. As a fellow Konoha ninja, he couldn't help but feel angry when he saw his companions die.

"Damn it!" Uchiha Shisui also hit his thigh with a gloomy face.

Although he had already learned from the Fourth Generation that the border outpost here had been destroyed, he was still extremely angry when he saw it with his own eyes!

Unlike other members of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Shisui has a relatively gentle personality and does not have the rebellious and cold feeling of the Uchiha clan.

He regards the village as more important than his own family, which is very unusual among the Uchiha clan.

Kakashi looked at Yoruichi and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Since Yoruichi is the Byakugan bloodline, he is likely to find some clues.

Ye Yi opened his Byakugan, scanned the area nearby, and shook his head, "Their methods were very clean and efficient, almost one-shot kills, and there weren't many traces left. They must have cleaned up before leaving!"

Here at the outpost, there should have been a battle, and all the Konoha ninjas inside were killed, leaving only the traces of the battle and the corpses of Konoha ninjas.

The enemy's methods were very neat and efficient, and they were experienced. They handled the situation cleanly, and Ye Yi didn't find anything useful.

After hearing this, the other three people's faces turned gloomy.

After thinking about it, Kakashi formed a mudra with both hands, slapped the ground, and shouted: "Psychic art!"

With a 'bang' sound, white smoke rose, and then several ninja dogs appeared on the scene.

"Parker, please take a look at the special smell here." Kakashi said to one of the small ninja dogs.

"Okay." The ninja dog named Parker nodded, and under its command, several ninja dogs scattered.

It wasn't long before several ninja dogs came back.

The leader, Parker, shook his head and said, "After a few days, the smell has almost dissipated. And among the ninjas who have experienced the battle, there are probably water-style ninjas who have washed away the smell. Even if there is some left, it is basically the smell of blood..."

"Well, you guys go back first." Kakashi released the summoning technique and shook his head at his three teammates: "The smells here are too mixed, and my ninja dog can't tell what's useful."

Looking at the sky which was already somewhat dark, Kakashi said, "Start exploring the surroundings with the outpost as the center tomorrow. If someone left from other directions, we may be able to find some clues. I'll have to ask you for help tomorrow, Yoruichi."

"Okay." Ye nodded.

"Let's bury the bodies of these colleagues first and don't let them be exposed in the wilderness..." Kakashi glanced around and said in a low voice.

Several people nodded and put the bodies of all the lost Konoha ninjas together. Finally, Kakashi used earth escape to bury them on the spot.

Kakashi looked at the three people and said, "Leave here first, rest for a while, and then start exploring the surrounding area."

The three nodded.

They were resting in a place not far from here. After all the running around, they were a little tired. This would have some impact on the battle that might break out next, so they planned to rest for a night first.

In the morning, the four people who had rested enough started to move and began to search with the border outpost as the center.

At this time, Yoruichi's Byakugan came in handy. Within the field of vision of the Byakugan, many things that ordinary people cannot see can be found by Yoruichi.

Somewhere not far from the outpost, Ye Yi found a hidden tree hole, which contained a lot of blood-stained bandages and some things that had not been cleaned up...

Chapter 19 Tracking!

Ye Yi rolled his eyes and looked towards the location of the tree hole. After carefully checking and finding that there was no danger, he moved closer.

"Unfinished food and blood-stained bandages? There were probably several people, and they left in such a hurry. Could something unexpected have happened?" Ye Yi looked at the traces in the tree hole and guessed.

From the traces inside the tree hole, he judged that there were at least five or six people who had rested here before, and they might be a ninja team like them.

And they left in such a hurry, probably because of some emergency that made them leave without having time to clean up all the traces here.

Ninjas are usually very careful in their actions and will not leave too many traces that would reveal their location.

Leaving without cleaning up like this must have an urgent reason...

If their previous inference is true, if the person who committed this kind of thing is a traitorous ninja from Kirigakure, then from this point it can be inferred that they are most likely being hunted down as well!

But anyway, we finally found some clues!

Taking out a sealing scroll from the ninja tool bag, Yoruichi spread it out on the ground and made a seal. Then, with a light "bang" sound, white smoke rose, and a pitch-black ninja crow appeared, looking at Yoruichi with scarlet pupils.

This is Uchiha Shisui's summoning ninja crow, which their team uses to communicate with each other.

"Go tell the others about the situation here." Yoruichi said to the ninja crow.

The Ninja Crow cried out, flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

In a moment, Kakashi and others who received the news came here.

Kakashi looked at Yoruichi and asked, "What did you find?"

Yoruichi said directly: "I found a tree hole. Inside the tree hole, there are things left by ninjas. They must have left in a hurry and didn't clean it up."

Ye Yi expressed his inference and everyone nodded.

Asuma said softly, "The Rolling Eyes are really convenient. If it were me, I would definitely ignore this."

This tree hole has been specially treated, and it is impossible to tell from the outside that it is hollow. If it weren't for the Byakugan's ability to see through things, even a perception-type ninja would find it difficult to sense these dead objects.

Kakashi was searching in the other direction. If his summoning ninja dog was here instead, it might have been possible that it found this place.

"Summoning Technique." Kakashi summoned his ninja dog again.

Puck moved closer, sniffed, and said to Kakashi: "These auras appeared in the previous outpost. They should have arrived there as well."

After hearing this, everyone present was shocked. They finally found some clues!

"Can you still smell these people?" Kakashi looked at Parker.

"Let me try." Parker scratched his body with his hind legs, moved his nose, as if he had discovered something, and rushed out in one direction.

The other ninja dogs did the same thing and dispersed.

Soon Puck came back and said to Kakashi: "They should have used some ability like Shadow Clone. The smell came from three directions in total."

"This..." Several people were speechless. They were really cautious...
