Konoha: From meeting Kaguya Otsutsuki

Danzo Shimura felt extremely embarrassed when he recalled how he vowed to Sarutobi Hiruzen that he would win before leaving the village.

In the command room, seeing Shimura Danzo's expression constantly changing, none of the jonin took the initiative to speak.

Glancing at the people in front of him, Shimura Danzo asked, "Do you have any ideas on how to deal with the ninja who is proficient in the five attributes?"

"Kakashi is also an all-attribute ninja, he might have some way." The ninjas were silent for a moment, and someone broke the silence.

"..."

Hearing this, Kakashi twitched the corners of his mouth under his mask and smiled bitterly.

I have all attributes, but that doesn’t mean every attribute of mine is great!

If I were really that awesome, I would have dealt with him right away on the battlefield. Why would I wait until now?

Danzo Shimura raised an eyebrow and looked at Kakashi.

After thinking about it, Kakashi said: "Danzo-sama, given that man's attainments in ninjutsu, ninjutsu should have no effect on him. You can try illusion."

As he said this, he glanced in the direction of Uchiha Shisui.

Shimura Danzo glanced at Uchiha Shisui inconspicuously and ignored him.

Finally, he said to Kakashi, "That makes sense. Next time you run into Kakuzu, you can lead the ninjas who are good at illusions to cast illusions on him. With your Sharingan, it should be possible."

"I understand." Kakashi lowered his head and responded.

Uchiha Shisui seemed to want to say something, opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

Then, someone reported to Danzo Shimura that the eight-man team that was sent to destroy the Kumogakure grain transportation route had not returned yet.

Danzo Shimura did not take it seriously, thinking that they were being entangled by the Cloud Ninjas, and dispatched a team of ninjas to provide support.

Inside the Hidden Cloud Camp.

Dodai met the four captives brought by Akasaga no Scorpion and others.

"Only four people? And they are civilian ninjas? Their status should be very ordinary."

"Because they are just Chunins." said one of the subordinates.

Dodai shook his head without explaining anything, and said, "These four people alone cannot shake Konoha. It's not enough. Capture more people, and it would be best if there were a few bloodline ninjas or ninjas from a family."

"Yes." The subordinates took it to heart.

"What exactly are you going to do?" Orochimaru asked, curious about what Dodai said about shaking Konoha.

"You will know it soon." Tutai said with a smile.

"Lord Dodai, since the route for transporting grain has been discovered by the people of Konoha, do we need to change the route?" the subordinate continued.

"With Mr. Scorpion here, is there any need to do this kind of thing?"

There was a hint of flattery in Dodai's words, but Scorpion of the Red Sand didn't care at all and just continued to follow the Cloud Ninjas to the place where they had ambushed before.

After walking out of the prisoner-of-war camp, another person came over and reported to Tutai: "Master Tutai, a group of ninjas from the Frost Village came outside and said they want to join us in fighting Konoha."

"How many of them came?"

"Twelve ninjas in total."

"Twelve?" Tu Tai was a little speechless. He waved his hand and said, "If they have no problem, send them to do logistics."

……

After a few days of procrastination, Hyuga Yangxi's team finally arrived at the Konoha camp.

The ninja in charge of the response opened the roster in his hand and said without even looking up, "You three will be assigned to Team 17. If you have any objections, go talk to Master Danzo directly."

"As for Ueno-jounin, please proceed to the command room. Lord Danzo has other plans for you."

Hinata Yangxi: "What is Team 17 responsible for?"

"Move the bodies, carry the wounded, and cook." The ninja said succinctly.

"what?"

Although they had strange expressions, Hinata Yangxi and the other two did not refuse.

After placing the luggage in the arranged room, Uchiha Itachi immediately found his fellow clan member Uchiha Shisui.

"Brother Shisui, didn't you go to the battlefield?"

Uchiha Shisui smiled bitterly, "My duty is to guard the camp. How about you, Itachi, how are you getting along with your new teammates?"

"We are all very independent people." Uchiha Itachi said calmly.

"Independence?" He repeated it, and Uchiha Shisui understood what he meant. "You mean, each of you keep your distance?"

"Yeah." Uchiha Itachi nodded.

"Why?" Uchiha Shisui sighed.

"I already understood and lost, and I don't want to experience it again." Uchiha Itachi said, "Let's not talk about this, how is the battle going now?"

"An S-level rebel ninja has appeared in the Cloud Ninja. He is very strong. Lord Danzo is trying to find a solution..."

After dinner, Inuzuka Hana sat between Hinata Haruki and Uchiha Itachi.

"Since Mr. Ueno has been pulled by Lord Danzo to do another mission, our team needs another person to lead it..."

"..."

"..."

"Since both of you are silent, I will be the captain." Inuzuka Hanamichi.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Hinata Yangxi nodded.

"I have no objection." Uchiha Itachi said indifferently.

Inuzuka Hana didn't care about their attitude and continued, "I've inquired about it. This 16th team has a total of people. It's one of the logistics teams, and most of them are Chunin and Genin."

"Some people are responsible for cooking, some are responsible for carrying the wounded, and some are responsible for collecting the bodies."

"Well, although it's a little hard to accept, the three of us just happen to be the ones responsible for moving the bodies."

"The bodies of other ninjas who were not able to be brought back from the battlefield must be brought back by us. We should try our best to have them returned to Konoha for burial later."

"Usually when they are eating or resting, that is when we are busiest, because at that time the people from the two villages will tacitly stop fighting."

"starting from tomorrow……"

Hinata Yangxi: "I understand."

At night, the Konoha ninja discovered two sneaky people outside the camp, intending to approach.

"Who is it?" A kunai was fired over.

After dodging the kunai attack, the two strangers immediately raised their hands, not defending, and said, "Don't get me wrong, we are also ninjas, and we have no ill intentions."

The Konoha ninja walked forward, squinted his eyes, and saw clearly the pattern on their forehead protectors - frost.

"People from the Frost Ninja Village?"

"We are here to serve Konoha..."

The Konoha ninja did not answer, but waved to the back, signaling his two companions to come over.

Then, all three of them took out their kunai and put their cold sharp blades against the necks of the two Frost Ninjas.

Chapter 25 025 Greedy Snake

"The goals of the Frost Ninja Village and Konoha are the same. We also hope that you can defeat the Cloud Ninja and force them back to the Hidden Cloud Village..."

The two Frost Ninjas stiffened their necks, gave up their defense, and spoke earnestly.

The three people from Konoha looked at each other, and of course they would not believe what they said so easily.

They captured the two Frost Ninjas, brought them into the camp, and handed them over to interrogators.

During the entire process, the Frost Ninja did not resist at all.

After giving the two Frost Ninjas several doses of truth serum and interrogating them several times, the interrogators confirmed that they were telling the truth and that they indeed hoped that Konoha would defeat the Hidden Cloud Ninjas and drive the Cloud Ninjas out of the Frost Kingdom.

However, the attitude of the Konoha ninja was still very frivolous, "How can you two help?"

"It's not just the two of us. The Frost Ninja Village has sent another twelve people to lurk in the Hidden Cloud Camp. They will provide us with intelligence." The two Frost Ninjas quickly shook their heads.

"The Cloud Ninja's methods should be no worse than ours, right? Will they believe you?"

"Because the order those 12 people received was to help Kumogakure win wholeheartedly."

"What?" The Konoha ninja glared at them and almost turned hostile on the spot.

"Don't get me wrong." The Frost Ninja quickly explained, "This is to be able to fully integrate into the Cloud Village."

“You can only deceive others if you deceive yourself.”

"Those companions don't know the complete plan. Only the two of us know the village's specific plans."

"We will take the initiative to contact them every once in a while and analyze the intelligence inside Kumogakure through what they know."

The Konoha ninjas looked at each other and one of them left.

After a few minutes, he returned to the interrogation room and nodded to the people who stayed there.

"Well, you guys stay here for now."

……

After a day of rest, the organization sent a Chunin named Yuta to help Hinata Haruki, Uchiha Itachi, and Inuzuka Hana get familiar with their work.

A group of four people, each pushing a small cart, came to the place where the Konoha ninjas and the Cloud ninjas had fought.

"This place smells so strong." Inuzuka Hana, who has a keen sense of smell, said while covering her nose.

"That's how it is in places with a lot of dead bodies," Yuta said.

After saying that, he signaled for everyone to stop and asked Hinata Yangxi to open her eyes to see if there were any living people among the corpses piled on the ground.

Hinata Yangxi shook her head.

After getting the answer, Yuta pushed the cart and walked in front. He turned the bodies over with skillful movements and searched for signs on them that could confirm their identity.

For example, forehead protectors, ninja numbers on clothes, and weapon patterns.

After confirming that they were from Konoha, he placed the bodies one by one on his cart.

Following his demonstration, Hinata Yangxi and others slowly began to do the same work.

"If you can't put it down, don't do it. In addition to the afternoon, you have to come again in the evening."

Seeing that they piled up the bodies on the cart into a pyramid like they were piling up food and fodder, Inuzuka Hana even wanted the three dogs she brought to carry one body each. Yuta was a little amused and stopped them immediately.

"At night?" Hinata Yangxi asked, "It's actually still dangerous."

"How can there be an absolutely safe place on the battlefield?"

"I understand. You are worried that someone will ambush us on purpose, right?" Yuta asked with a laugh.

Hinata Yangxi did not deny it.

Yuta explained, "If they could ambush a few of us, it would stop the war. I think many people would do that."

"However, the work we are responsible for is only the last link in the battlefield and will not have any impact on the battle situation."

"It's not dangerous, but there may be some unexpected situations."

"For example, sometimes we'll run into people like us on the other side, and we might have to fight..."

"Sometimes, there will be strange ninjas who want to make a fortune on the dead. They want to see if they can get some ninjutsu scrolls or something else."

"There may be unused ninja tools and detonating tags, but there will definitely not be any ninjutsu scrolls, because the bodies of the ninjas who knew ninjutsu were taken away by their companions during the retreat..."

Hinata Yangxi interrupted: "So, the people lying here now are all unimportant people?"

In other words, they are all dispensable cannon fodder...

Hearing this, Yuta said seriously: "You are all very important people."

"Let's go, we can go back now."

Yuta takes a few people away.

Following at the end of the team, Uchiha Itachi looked back at the scattered bodies of the dead left on the ground.
