Chapter 49: Chapter 49: The Prologue of Ninja World War III
Half a day later.
After Might Duy partially recovered and was able to move normally, the group set off again for the final destination of the mission, the city of Shimotsuki in the Grass Country.
There were no further accidents and they arrived at their destination safe and sound.
"Thank you for the support and protection, this is a payment ... Sorry for withholding information, sorry!"
Arriving at Shimotsuke City, Daisuke took the 500 000 Ryo and, bowing respectfully, handed it to Yeruashi.
Yeruashi reached out, took a wad of money, held it in his hand, assessing the amount and nodded, "Then the escort ends here."
Only when he was about to share the reward with Duy, his expression suddenly changed and his head abruptly turned in a certain direction.
Instead of sharing the reward, he quickly put Ryo's wad in his pocket.
"Major, let's go!"
Whoosh! WHOOSH!!!!
Having said that, Yeruashi ran in the direction they had come.
Might Duy shuddered and with a slight delay followed Yeruashi, "What happened, what did you notice?"
"Ninjas..."
Yeruashi answered, without stopping the movement, and looked back at Shimotsuki City, his gaze was deep: " Many ninjas, at least a hundred. "
Hearing Yeruashi's answer, Might Duy said in astonishment, "That many? Are they Kusagakure ninja?"
"No."
Yeruashi shook his head and said seriously, "They don't feel like Kusagakure ninja, and there may be many more of them ... Major Duy, the war is coming!"
Having said this, he activated the double acceleration and accelerated noticeably, noticing this, Might Duy opened the first gate and also accelerated.
They quickly left the city, ran into the forest and climbed to the top of the trees, immediately looking back, from here they could see a large number of human figures running towards the small town from the opposite direction.
Although the distance is quite large, but you can still see the uniform on the other side, they were not ninja from kusagakure ... But from Iwagakure!
"War..."
Duy sighed worriedly.
On the outskirts of the Grass Country, so many Iwagakure ninja appeared, this is definitely not an ordinary mission. Maybe Iwagakure will take over the Grass Country and use it as a front to attack the Fire Country from here!
Although Duy is not well versed in such things, he clearly understands what it means to start a war, because he experienced the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Second Ninja World War!
Might Duy said in a deep voice, "Let's return to the village as quickly as possible and report this!"
"Yes!"
Yeruashi nodded.
The Third Ninja World War is about to begin!
...
The country of Grass.
Shimotsuki City.
A large amount of ninja from Iwagakure in a very short time took control of the city, there were several ninja from Kusagakure, but they had no strength to oppose the ninja from one of the Great Ninja Villages.
"What are you going to do!"
Daisuke was already captured by the Iwagakure ninjas, his voice trembling.
In front of him was the Iwagakure ninja, he put his index finger to his lips and whispered, "Don't get so nervous and shout, we'll just borrow your territory to set up a temporary camp for the war."
War!
Hearing these words, Daisuke suddenly turned pale.
Anyone who survived World War II in the ninja world is well aware of how terrifying war is, especially the residents of small countries located between large countries, because their home often becomes a battlefield between the Great Villages.
"Honku-sama, the city is under control."
A ninja appeared and knelt down on one knee, informing the Jounin who spoke.
Honku put my hands on his chest and slowly said, "Don't cause too much harm to the locals. They are also needed as free labor to prepare a resting place for the troops."
"Yes."
The ninja nodded and immediately went to pass the order.
Honku looked at the pale Daisuke and other high-ranking officers of Shimotsuki City who had been captured, thought about it and waved his hand, ordering them to stop.
At that moment, the ninja reappeared in front of him and knelt down, "Honku-sama, I have not been able to receive any news about the Jounin sent on the mission and his group."
"How can this be?"
Honku frowned slightly, "They have taken over the Grass Country mission and should have completed it a few days ago. Keep looking for information. When you find them, tell their captain that you don't need to return to the village, let them go straight to the front camp and join the advance party."
"Yes!"
The ninja took the order and disappeared.
Hearing these words, Daisuke slightly changed his expression and looked carefully at Honku, he hesitated a little, but still said nothing.
However, his actions naturally did not escape the view of an Elite Jounin. Honku immediately noticed Daisuke's strange behavior.
"Stop!"
Honku called out to the ninja who was about to take the prisoners away and looked at Daisuke, "What do you seem to know."
"No, I don't know anything..."
Daisuke replied unconsciously.
Splash!!!
Blood splash.
"Aaaaaaaah ....."
The kunai pierced Daisuke's shoulder. Blood splattered and dripped down his clothes. The intense pain made him scream and pale momentarily.
"Don't you know anything?"
Honku said quietly, spinning a bloody kunai on the tip of your finger.
Daisuke covered the wound, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his body was shaking, sitting on the ground, with a trace of fear in his eyes, "Yes.... if it's a team of ten ninjas, they ... they are .... Were killed by the ninjas of Konoha.... "
"Yes?"
The expression on Honku's face changed abruptly.
He leaned over, ran the tip of his kunai across Daisuke's cheek and asked earnestly, "Konoha ninjas? What exactly happened?"
A group of ten ninja, led by Jounin, destroyed by Konoha ninja, this is extremely important information, which means that Konoha may also be acting in the Grass Country.
Perhaps they are already preparing their advance troops!
If the advance troops are ambushed by Konoha, Iwagakure will be at a disadvantage from the start of the war! The consequences could be enormous!
"Cough... Cough... this... this is what happened..."
The blood ran down Daisuke's cheek, he trembled and recounted everything that had happened before.
As the story progressed, Honku's expression gradually turned to bewilderment.
The Iwagakure ninja nearby looked askance at Daisuke, a Jounin and his group were not ambushed by Konoha ninja, but were destroyed by an escort team consisting of only two Konoha ninja!
How is this possible!
The captain of the team was a Jounin and was close to reaching the rank of Elite Jounin! Their team consisted of ten ninja, which included a sensor and Iryō-nin( Medical Ninja), so they should be able to hold their own even when facing an elite team of Anbu from Konoha.
But that a team of two ninja could easily destroy the Elite squad.... Should consist of two Elite Jounins, perhaps even one of the Sannins was present!
They had no impression of the ninja Daisuke described!
They might not remember all the Jounin of Konoha, but the number of Elite Jounin is small and each of them has some fame, but the two people described by Daisuke are completely unknown!
