Chapter 362 Death Squad
Chapter 362 Death Squad
Yunyin Village
Raikage's office.
After reading the letter in his hand, the Raikage handed it to Tsuchida.
This letter was delivered by someone who claimed to be from the Land of Fire.
The letter contained a lot of words, but the content was very simple.
Hiruzen Sarutobi took away the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so Konoha is now completely without a Tailed Beast.
In addition, Hiruzen Sarutobi took away a large number of Anbu members, and the entire Hyuga clan, including the head of the clan, Hiashi, was wiped out, while dozens of members of the branch family were also killed or injured.
The Hyuga clan has lost at least one-third of its strength.
Next, we learned which members of the Anbu followed Hiruzen Sarutobi's group.
The list is very detailed and could only have been leaked by an insider.
After reading it, Tu Tai's face turned solemn. After all, with this information, he could even send back the people he had sent to investigate.
"Is this true?" Raikage asked uncertainly.
"Bring those three people up."
After giving instructions to the Anbu, Tsuchikage said to the Raikage, "It's very likely true."
"But it's unclear which side they're from."
The Raikage's eyes gleamed with excitement; he had only known that Hiruzen Sarutobi had been forced to leave.
But they didn't know that the Dark Division had also gone this far.
In particular, the fact that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is not in Konoha presents a golden opportunity for Kumogakure.
Just then, a knock sounded on the door.
The three ninjas who claimed to be from the Land of Fire have already been brought in.
Tutai stared at the three men and asked, "How did you obtain this intelligence?"
The leader looked at the Raikage and said in a calm voice, "Has Lord Raikage read this intelligence report?"
The Raikage nodded.
The three men breathed a sigh of relief, and the leader took out another scroll from his person.
Just as the people on the Cloud Village side received the scroll, a sudden change occurred.
The three exchanged a glance, their mouths moved, marks appeared on their faces, and a burnt smell wafted out.
They all collapsed, bleeding from all seven orifices.
Lei Yingren was completely dumbfounded. What was going on?!
The members of the Anbu quickly protected the Raikage.
Tu Tai was only slightly surprised: "Go and call hope over."
After a brief inspection of the three, the same intelligence scrolls as before were found on each of them.
It seems they were worried that one scroll might not be delivered, so they took three precautions.
When the last scroll was opened, it was empty except for a distinctive mark.
But Tu Tai's expression suddenly changed when he saw the mark.
He hurried to Raikage's desk and took out some intelligence from a few years ago to compare.
The same.
At this moment, hope walked in and, at Raikage's signal, began to check the three people.
The test results came back quickly, and hope reported:
"Boss, these three are all assassins, and they have protective spells and poisons on them."
"They committed suicide to prevent the information from being leaked."
Tsuchikage showed the Raikage the mark on his hand and the previous intelligence.
"Raikage, these people are the ones who used to send us intelligence from Konoha."
The Raikage took the two marks and compared them; they were exactly the same.
"Could it be Danzo!?"
"But Danzo is dead!?"
In the previous battles, the Hidden Cloud Village had received intelligence from a mysterious force from the Hidden Leaf Village.
This allowed Yunyin to gain a considerable advantage.
Even the incident seven years ago, on Hinata's birthday, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main family.
It was this same force that sent the Hyuga clan's defense map to Kumogakure.
Previously, the Raikage and Tsuchikage had considered that this person was very likely a high-ranking official in Konoha, and could even be Shimura Danzo.
But now that Shimura Danzo is dead, it's a bit strange that they're still sending over the same information.
Moreover, these kinds of assassins are not something ordinary people can afford to support.
However, the credibility of the intelligence has improved.
Tu Tai pondered for a moment: "It's alright, we don't need to worry about who the source of this intelligence is."
"We just need to wait for our people to return to find out whether the intelligence is true or false."
……
Konoha Village.
Chiyo was eating on the street with Karin.
Even if 30,000 people leave Konoha, it will not have much impact on Konoha's ordinary commercial districts.
After all, Konoha has a permanent population of several hundred thousand, and thousands of people come and go every day.
As long as it wasn't wartime, the five major powers all had caravans operating.
The largest commercial hub in the Land of Fire is located in Konoha Village.
After all, there are many people here, and many caravans choose to come here to trade.
Karin's vortex-like constitution allows her to store energy remarkably well, even from extremely high-calorie foods, which she can absorb quickly.
For example, Karin is currently eating fried rice cakes.
This stuff is made from glutinous rice, and a small bowl of it can fill you up. But when it's deep-fried and then sweetened, it becomes a calorie bomb.
Qianyao had already seen that Xianglinxuan had taken ten portions.
Seeing this made him very hungry, and he ate two servings.
However, after Karin's body shape changed previously, it has now stopped changing.
It seems that Karin's body shape is fixed at a certain age.
However, Chiyo's trip wasn't simply about taking Karin out to play; he had another mission.
At that moment, an Uchiha man came to Chiyo's side and reported.
"Chief, Sarutobi Ishizumo has been taken away by a spirit."
Qian Yao nodded slightly. He knew that Sarutobi Stone Boat was going to run away as soon as he brought the stone boat back.
Even if they weren't led away by spirits, they probably had other ways to escape.
However, letting the monkey fly away was just a scheme of his.
"Go tell Xiao Nan and the others to issue a statement."
"Yes!" The Uchiha members quickly left.
Information regarding Hiruzen Sarutobi's side hasn't come back yet, and Chiyo is unaware that Hiruko has gone to cause trouble for them.
However, none of this affected him; he could simply follow his own plan.
"Master, the last piece, ah..." Xianglin stuck a lump of rice cake into Qianyao's mouth.
Qianyao stuffed a piece into his mouth; the fried rice cake was topped with sweet brown sugar and crushed peanuts and sesame seeds.
It has a chewy texture and a soft, sweet flavor.
"Now that you've eaten, it's time to get back to work."
Qianyao waved, signaling his clansmen to pay the money and then left the food stall with Xianglin.
"Hiccup..."
Karin let out a burp without any regard for her image, then patted her full stomach.
"Master, Kimimaro and Haku have gone on a mission, so leave the village affairs to me!"
Four major clans left Konoha at once, including the loss and relocation of the Hyuga clan.
The Uchiha clan's top members are currently maintaining stability within the village, and there is a shortage of personnel for missions.
Orochimaru has already recalled Guren and the people from Otogakure.
All the students from the elite class were also dispatched, including Neji.
Hinata, however, did not go out in order to take care of Hanabi's feelings.
In fact, Hinata and Neji haven't seen each other since the incident at their home.
Qianyao also planned to let the two meet again after they had calmed down a bit.
As for Naruto and Sasuke, their identities are currently sensitive, and they could easily be arrested if they went out, so Chiyo didn't let them go out either.
Karin, on the other hand, supplemented her knowledge of perception with Nagato and is now able to use Kagura's Mind's Eye skillfully.
Qianyao deliberately kept her around so that she could catch spies.
