Naruto: The world has misled me a lot!

Konoha, dumpling shop.

It was a rare occasion for several young ninjas to get together and talk about their troubles.

"I heard that Konoha's garrisons in the Land of Rain and the Land of Grass, along with the ninja armies of the two countries, have stationed themselves at the border of the Land of Earth and have blocked the trade routes of the Land of Earth?"

The one who spoke was Ebisu from the Choza team. He was a little worried that Konoha would go to war with the Land of Earth again.

As his teacher is one of the current patriarchs of the Pig, Deer and Butterfly tribes, if there is a war, he will definitely go to the front line.

As a disciple, he couldn't run away either.

"Tsk, if they wanted to fight, Iwagakure would have done it long ago. How could they wait until now?"

Asuma Sarutobi, with a slight beard on his face and droopy eyelids, leaned back in his chair, blew out a smoke ring, and occasionally stole a glance at Kurenai Yuhi across from him.

"It's all thanks to the Third Hokage. He blocked the attack of the Iwagakure in the Third Battle, which prevented them from acting rashly."

Yuhi Kurenai, with slightly curly hair and crystal red eyes, looked back at Asuma generously, which made the latter feel embarrassed and turned his head away.

"It has nothing to do with the old man. When Iwagakure invaded Amegakure, Lord Makoto went to the Rain Country and suppressed Iwagakure so that he dared not act rashly."

After Asuma realized what was happening, he raised his hand holding the cigarette and took a puff of it to hide his embarrassment.

"We're all eating, can you please stop smoking, Asuma?"

Hongdou, who was chewing meatballs frantically, was choked by the sudden secondhand smoke and almost vomited. He quickly covered his nose and mouth, swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty, and complained while gasping.

"Sorry, sorry, Hongdou, please order another one, it's my treat."

Seeing that Yuhi Kurenai also frowned, Asuma quickly apologized.

When the other friends heard that Asma was going to treat them, they also ordered a few portions.

Young Master Sarutobi didn't care at all. This expense was just a drop in the bucket for him.

"Asuma, you have a wide range of sources of information. Lord Cheng is really the same as what is said outside, um..."

Yuhi Kurenai was not sure what to ask the following question, so Asuma rolled his eyes, thought about it, and understood what she meant.

"Those are all rumors. With Lord Cheng's current status and power, he can have any woman he wants. If it is true as the rumors outside are, how could the Kato family have only one wife?"

After hearing his words, Xi Ri Hong breathed a sigh of relief, the sadness in her eyes disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth again.

"Why do you suddenly ask this?"

After finally striking up a conversation with the goddess, Asuma took advantage of the situation and continued the conversation.

"Lord Cheng's office is looking for a secretary, and my father recommended me. Lord Cheng issued a letter of recruitment some time ago."

With the stone in her heart put down, Xiurihong told her friends about her job change.

"Ah, then Hong, aren't you going to be transferred to logistics in the future?"

Hongdou felt a little reluctant. She couldn't team up with Hong anymore when she went on a mission.

"My personality is indeed not suitable for direct combat. It would be nice if I could shine in other positions. However, you can still eat meatballs with me."

Hong held Anko's hand and leaned her head towards her bestie, comforting her.

Asuma, who was sitting opposite her, just stood there in a daze, and only reacted when the cigarette in his hand burned his fingers.

Hokage Building.

In the high-level conference room, most of the reserved seats were empty. Kato Makoto, the three ninjas, Ino-Shika-cho and other Hokage ninjas were not present. Only a few elders who had begun to live a retirement life were invited.

"Yondaime, if you have anything to discuss, just discuss it with Makoto. I have a lot of things to do as well."

Among the four elders, Danzo Shimura was the last to arrive, and his tone of voice was filled with dissatisfaction.

He is a retired cadre, and he is called to meetings every day. So why do you young people need to take over?

"Danzo, something big has happened this time."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the apologetic look on Namikaze Minato's face, he hurried out to rescue him and handed the information he had just read to Danzo.

"This is the information sent back by the Anbu. The Fourth Mizukage Yagura led 3,000 ninja troops to leave the Land of Water, and the direction of their march is the Land of Fire."

Danzo listened and read, and after he finished reading, he turned his gaze to the Anbu who was wearing white clothes and a monkey face mask behind the Third Hokage.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke, head of the Anbu.

Just as Kato Makoto did not remove Yuhi Shinku and replace him with his own people, the eldest son of the Third Hokage still firmly sits in the position of Anbu Minister.

In Danzo's eyes, this person is neither better than others nor worse than others, just like the information in his hand.

The description seemed very clear, with the time, place and movements all included, but as an intelligence department, the enemy's combat plan, which should have been the most important thing to detect, was not described at all.

Any Konoha ninja could have written this story by watching from afar.

"Are there any spies in the Anbu who have received inside information?"

Everyone else knew who Danzo was asking, and could faintly hear the dissatisfaction in his tone.

"After Yagura took over, the internal struggles of Kirigakure became more intense, the Blood Mist policy was implemented more strictly, and the spies of the Anbu suffered heavy losses. This intelligence was obtained at the cost of the sacrifice of several Anbu."

Without waiting for Danzo to continue asking, Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Danzo, you are an expert at gathering intelligence. Right now we can't tell what Yagura's intentions are. We don't know if Gen has received any information."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen was still in office, he had already gotten used to the relatively rough intelligence of the Anbu.

At critical moments, we still rely on accurate information from the root.

Kato Makoto is out for something, and according to his orders before leaving, the information will be transferred to Danzo for handling.

This is also the reason why Shinobu An said that he was busy. He hasn't done so much work in a long time. Although he is only taking over for a few days, it is a test for the old man's energy.

“There is indeed an important piece of information, but it does not involve the deployment of the Kirigakure Ninja Army.

Yagura has completely controlled the power of the Three-Tails and has become a perfect Jinchūriki, suppressing all opposition from Kirigakure."

Danzo's words made the atmosphere in the conference room more solemn.

The perfect Jinchūriki can use the power of the tailed beasts for his own benefit and is immune to illusion attacks.

Coupled with the almost unlimited chakra and the extremely large-scale destructive power of the Tailed Beast Ball, the large-scale siege tactics of the ninja army can be declared ineffective.

To deal with a perfect Jinchūriki, you can only send out ninjas of the same standard.

"Did Yagura come with Kirigakure to seek revenge?"

Mizuto Menen said softly that he and Utatane Koharu were very interested in making money and came into contact with all kinds of people.

Among them was a person from the Land of Water. During a casual chat, he mentioned that Yagura held a grudge against Konoha and had said more than once in public that Kato Makoto would pay the price.

"Prepare for the worst and assume that Yagura's target is Konoha. Danzo-senpai, please send someone to ask Makoto to come back. If it's too late, I will fight in person.

Sir, please arrange for the personnel and supplies of a thousand-man brigade."

Minato Namikaze was never afraid of provocation from others, let alone his defeated opponent Kirigakure.

If Kushina wasn't about to give birth, he wouldn't mind using Flying Thunder God to penetrate deep into the enemy camp and clear Yagura's mind.

After the decision was made, several elders left one after another, with Sarutobi Hiruzen leaving last.

"Minato, let me know when you've found a safe place, and I'll have Biwako prepare in advance."

"I'm sorry to bother you. I'm still preparing the sealing barrier. I'll escort Biwako-senpai myself when the time comes."

"Barrier? To protect against that Uchiha?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment and then understood.

"Yes, the space-time pupil technique must be guarded against."

Every time Minato Namikaze saw the portrait drawn by Gen, he always had a familiar feeling, which prompted him to make more preparations.

"Well, if that doesn't work, take Kuyuki Na to Myoboku Mountain. It will definitely be safe there."

After Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, he turned and left the meeting room.
