Chapter 406 Intelligence and Strike
The border of the Land of Fire.
Cloud Hidden Base.
"I never expected the Akatsuki leader to be this strong. This guy is an idiot."
"How about we take some people into the Land of Fire and try it out first?"
Kirabi paced restlessly inside the tent.
He had been here for some time, but the Akatsuki organization's intimidation prevented the Cloud Village from entering the Land of Fire.
Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki who was nearby, opened his eyes: "Killer Bee, why don't you sit down?"
“Uchiha Chiyo isn’t a fool. The fact that he dared to withdraw his people means they are absolutely certain of victory.”
"The Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan is too effective against us. If we make a move, we must all go together."
Killer Bee looked grim. Years ago, Thousand Yao beat him so badly that he lost an arm to the Raikage, and he had been wanting revenge ever since.
He had been training diligently in order to have the opportunity to attack Konoha.
But now that the opportunity has come, Killer Bee is not allowed to act, which is very frustrating.
What's even more frustrating is that the reason he's being prevented from acting isn't because of Konoha, but simply because of a mercenary organization.
"Only when the intelligence is confirmed can we know how to minimize the losses."
Yugito was also captured last time, so she wants revenge.
However, she was much calmer than Kiraby and knew that war was a protracted one, so she was not in a hurry.
This time, the Hidden Cloud Village sent out a large number of people.
After ascertaining the situation in Konoha Village, they plan to launch a swift and decisive attack.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi and others were killed, and all the border guards of Konoha Village were withdrawn.
The people of Yunyin dared not go up, and only dared to secretly send out spies to collect intelligence.
However, the spies of Kumogakure were no match for the Hyuga clan.
The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan has a visual range of over ten kilometers.
They didn't even know how many of their people had been completely exposed.
"Blind eyes!"
As one of the few skilled members of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Tsukihiko and others were specially sent to monitor the Cloud Village's forces.
There were three people in their team, all of whom were members of the Hyuga clan. As the captain, he was the strongest and had the longest field of vision.
Yueyan was the main force, while the other two teammates were there to protect and observe whether the Cloud Village had sent anyone over.
Although the Cloud Village's defenses are quite tight, they are completely ineffective against the Byakugan.
They simply couldn't traverse a distance of ten kilometers to know the location of the Hyuga clan members.
It's unclear whether Hyuga's team has managed to sneak up nearby.
When Tsukihiko observes someone, he doesn't stare at them for long. Jinchuriki are very perceptive, and staring at Killer Bee or Yugito for too long can easily be noticed.
After a period of careful observation, Yueyan had also clearly seen through the basic personnel configuration of Yunyin.
He wrote all this information into the messenger bird and released it back.
……
Uchiha clan.
Before long, Chiyo received intelligence from the Hyuga clan at the front lines.
This includes not only those from Kumogakure, but also those from Iwagakure and Sunagakure.
The Sand Village retreated shortly after garrisoning its troops, presumably because they didn't know when the fighting would start, or they wanted the Iwagakure and Kumogakure to make the first move.
The Hidden Stone Village has already amassed over two thousand troops at the border.
Clearly, they have big plans, but the Jinchūriki is not here. It's unclear whether he didn't come or is hiding.
The Cloud Village has two thousand people, and two Jinchūriki are in the group.
Both Iwagakure and Kumogakure are waiting for an opportunity, and once that opportunity arises, it will be a thunderous strike.
It's even possible that Iwagakure and Kumogakure might tacitly put aside their grudges and set foot in the Land of Fire first.
Qianyao didn't care too much about the other information.
However, after seeing that the two Jinchūriki of Kumogakure were together.
He also came up with a two-pronged approach.
It's time for the hidden clones to get to work.
……
Hidden Mist Village.
The Hidden Mist Village is completely different from the Hidden Cloud Village, Hidden Rock Village, and Hidden Sand Village, which are actively preparing for battle.
They made no move and went about their business as usual.
Many people even think that it would be best if these ninja villages fought each other.
Anyway, they're isolated overseas, so they can just sit back and relax.
However, today Yagura held a high-level meeting.
"I will be away from the village for the time being, and Terumi Mei will be in charge of managing everything in the village."
"The caravan trip to the Land of Thunder will be postponed. We'll discuss everything when I return."
The high-level meetings in Kirigakure are different from those in Konoha. In Kirigakure, the one with the most power becomes the Mizukage.
The Mizukage is like a monarch, making all the decisions. The other elders can only offer suggestions, and whether or not they listen depends on the Mizukage's opinion.
Although not explicitly stated, the meaning behind Yagura's words was clear: he intended to intervene in this war.
After he said that, the elders became somewhat anxious.
"Lord Mizukage, our Kirigakure has only just recovered some of its strength, and now is not the time for large-scale military operations."
"Yes, Lord Mizukage, they haven't even started the war yet. If we intervene now, the losses will be enormous."
"Yeah yeah……"
These elders disagreed with the fact that Wuyin had just caught its breath after three years.
Yagura pressed down with his hand, signaling everyone to listen to him.
The elders below quickly shut their mouths; Yagura Karatachi still held considerable prestige.
"We certainly won't use troops on a large scale."
"Because I was the only one who went."
The elders below exchanged glances, and finally one of them spoke up: "Lord Mizukage, this is too dangerous."
"What will happen to us, the Hidden Mist Village, if anything happens to you?"
Yagura waved his hand: "Fortune favors the bold. We in Kirigakure need to recover quickly, so we can take this risk."
His mirror clone, which is also the three-tailed clone of Chiyo, has already told him what kind of cooperation this time.
"We can report to Terumi Mei what products we are currently lacking."
"Mei Terumi, you can contact them."
As he spoke, Yagura took out a form and gave it to Mei Terumi.
Mei Terumi took the document and saw that it contained information about famous merchant guilds in the Land of Fire, as well as how to contact them.
She looked somewhat taken aback; this kind of chamber of commerce wouldn't specifically cater to you.
Instead, they would travel to various ninja villages to share the risks and increase their profits.
But now it's clear that these chambers of commerce will specifically bring some needed goods to Wuyin.
She roughly guessed why Yagura Karatachi went to the Land of Lightning.
The caravans were all related by marriage, and the merchants from the Land of Water also had some connections with merchants from the Land of Fire.
After all, we had business dealings, and we were all familiar with each other.
Mei Terumi had heard about how the Fire Country caravan had been ripped off.
Now, Hiruzen Sarutobi is dead.
It's clear that Qianyao has once again partnered with its own Shuiying.
I just don't know if Yagura is safe this time.
