Naruto: The world has misled me a lot!

The Twelve Guardians are a guard force formed by the Fire Country Daimyo to protect his own safety.

Most of its members have the strength of a jonin, and the daimyo can destroy a small country by sending out only this force without notifying Konoha.

Of course, the scumbag behavior of coaxing Konoha while keeping private armed forces is very disgusting.

Given Kato Makoto's temper, this organization, which was established under the pretext of war, should have been forcibly banned after the war, so that all the ninjas of the Land of Fire would obey the orders of the Hokage.

However, he knew that even without the Twelve Guardians, the daimyo would still keep ninjas in secret. It would be better to let the daimyo's ninja troops be displayed in the open for easy surveillance.

Isn’t this ninja named Kazuma in front of me a good nail?

"One country with two rulers is not a long-term solution, don't you think, He Ma?"

Kato Makoto withdrew his hand that was emitting azure light and turned to look at the battlefield that was almost cleared.

"Your Excellency is right. In shogi, there is only one jade for one side, and the jade of the Land of Fire must be the Hokage-sama."

With a thud, the staunch daimyo's supporters were ultimately unable to overcome the power of the top ninja world, and knelt before the Hokage with a fanatical look on their faces.

As much as he admired the Daimyo leading the Fire Country in the past, he now longs for the Hokage to become the ruler of the Fire Country.

"Well, the Daimyo has worked very hard for the Fire Nation and cannot afford any mistakes, so I need to know his every move. Do you understand?"

Seeing that Kakashi and others were coming over here, Kato Makoto gave them some instructions and then waved his hand to let Kazuma go back.

"My subordinate understands!"

He Ma bowed his head respectfully in response, then used the teleportation technique to disappear from the spot.

"Teacher, the origins of this group of people have been investigated. They are the Prajna group from the Forest Country. According to the intelligence in the leader's mind, they want to gain fame by assassinating the Hokage."

A phantom flashed, and Shisui and the other two landed in front of Kato Makoto. Root members with blood on their swords appeared behind them.

The ninja world is a chaotic place. Except for the five major countries and a few well-known ninja villages, most ninjas live on the edge of a knife.

Taking on missions is their main livelihood.

Higher reputation means receiving higher-paying missions, so it is not surprising to gain fame by killing shadows.

"However, the leader of the Prajna clan who issued the order did not show up. I think..."

"Do you think there's something fishy going on?"

Kato Makoto's eyes swept over Shisui and the other two. Not only Shisui, but Kakashi and Yugao also had the same expression on their faces although they didn't say it explicitly.

Only a very few people knew the route that the Hokage would take to the Daimyo Prefecture. The Prajnaparamita were just a group of ninjas from a small country, but they were able to ambush in advance.

This would be impossible without an insider.

The only ones who could get the information were the high-ranking officials of Konoha and the Daimyo Prefecture.

"Let's end this matter here and return to Konoha."

Shisui and the other two looked up and saw that the Hokage was being secretive. It was obvious that he knew who was behind the incident, but he told the three not to delve into it further.

This shows that the opponent's level is very high, so Konoha cannot act easily.

Is it a big name?

The biggest suspect popped into the minds of the three people at the same time.

With motive, intelligence and ability, it is impossible not to make the connection.

However, the teacher had made countless contributions to the Fire Nation and defended against powerful enemies several times, but he was assassinated because of an unpleasant meeting.

How could a daimyo do this?

If this trend continues, if the Hokage and the Daimyo go to war one day, what will they choose?

Kakashi and Shisui looked heavy-hearted, while Yugao looked at her teacher firmly.

Not to mention the Daimyo of the Fire Country, even if they were enemies with the Ninja World, she would stand on the side of Kato Makoto unwaveringly.

While the several people had different thoughts, the country of Tang far in the north was also not at peace.

The Land of Hot Springs, Owakudani.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke, dressed in the combat uniform of a Konoha Jonin, stood on a cliff at the entrance of the valley.

Behind him, a female ninja with thick brown hair and a red inverted triangle mark on her face was scanning the valley terrain with sharp eyes.

There is a huge ninja dog next to Inuzuka Tsuma. Its right eye is covered by a black eye patch, and with only one animal eye left, it exudes a fierce aura like a tiger or leopard.

In addition to the two men and one beast, dozens of elite members of the Sarutobi clan and the Konoha ninja clan who followed Shinnosuke into the Land of Hot Spring were hiding in the dark and lying in ambush.

"Without the scent of the Cloud Ninja's Lightning Chakra, are you sure they will pass through here?"

Inuzuka Tsumugi supported his waist with one hand and looked at Sarutobi Shinnosuke with his wild-like lacquered eyes.

"There is no mistake. This is the information compiled by the Root and the Anbu."

Speaking of Anbu, Shinnosuke's face twitched a little, and then he said,

"The Kumogakure is rude and straightforward, and has not concealed its ambitions for the Kingdom of Hot Springs. Several northern lords could not withstand the pressure and have joined the Kumogakure. The next step they need to take is to enter the heart of the Kingdom of Hot Springs, and Owakudani is the only way to do it."

"Really? Yunyin should also know this. If they come with a large army, we have so few people..."

Inuzuka Tsumugi is not afraid of war, but unnecessary sacrifice is meaningless.

She brought her family members to the Land of Hot Springs to increase the strength of the ninja clan, not to die.

"Heh, in order to force out the elite troops of Kumogakure, I ordered a large force to advance in a big way in the south of the Kingdom of Hot Springs. Tutai, who is in charge of the affairs of the Kingdom of Hot Springs, should have received news of the fall of the south in the past few days. He has no choice but to be anxious."

The Sarutobi clan and the Uchiha clan split into two groups, one from the east and one from the west, and entered the Land of Hot Springs.

Since the eastern front was close to the Land of Rice, Sarutobi Shinnosuke had a large number of backup forces and was very confident, and he captured ten cities in one day.

The Kingdom of Soup is adjacent to the Kingdom of Frost in the north. It has a cold climate, limited resources, and its economic development is far inferior to that of the south, which is closer to the Kingdom of Fire.

Seeing that the fertile land is about to be taken by the Fire Nation, if the Yunyin has any enterprising spirit, they will not sit still.

Shinnosuke wanted to take advantage of Dodai's urgency to eliminate this think tank of Kumogakure and turn the Raikage into a brainless reckless man.

"I hope Uchiha can move faster and reunite with us sooner, so he can help us share the pressure of Kumogakure."

The country of soup is located on the west side of the sea. The territory is a mixed bag with countless local tyrants. Only Uchiha, the former tyrant of the north, could quickly subdue them.

Today's earthen platform is just the starter, the main event is the large Cloud Hidden Army that we will face later.

It would be too much of a stretch to rely solely on the Sarutobi clan and their small families, and only with the addition of the Uchiha would there be some hope.

"coming."

Just as Inuzuka Tsume was thinking, the sound of thunder was heard from the ground outside the valley, and faint blue lightning flashed.

"The disgusting smell of lightning."

Inuzuka's claw chakra flows into his nose, his sense of smell is ten thousand times greater than that of ordinary people, and he can smell a hint of ionized air.

Beside her, Heimaru lay low on the ground, claws dug into the rock, ready to attack.

"They are coming, start attacking."

When the Cloud Ninjas were approaching the valley entrance, Sarutobi Shinnosuke raised his arm, gave a signal, then crossed his hands to form an afterimage, and launched a combination ninjutsu from above.

Earth escape, earth dragon bullet technique!

Fire escape, fire dragon fire bomb!
