The battle on the Eastern Front fell into a strange tranquility. After the Kingdom of Thunder officially declared its participation in the war, the actions of the Army of the Country of Water began to become quiet. Everyone knows that the kingdom of water will inevitably make big moves in the future, so they are always paying attention to its every move.

However, the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Water spreads all over the large and small islands in the rear. Except for the strongholds located in the Kingdom of Fire, the domains belonging to the ocean cannot be easily detected by Konoha Ninja. His whereabouts are so elusive.

Although the fighting ninjas can breathe a sigh of relief because of the temporary cessation of the fighting, the tasks of the intelligence ninjas have become more and more onerous, and a large number of reports are sent to Hiruzaru Sarutobi's table every day. Sarutobi Hiruzen was not in charge of intelligence tasks, but as the commander of the position, he had to review it every day.

"Tell me, how will Kirigakure Ninja Village fight this battle?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi held a scroll in his hand and said to Shimura Danzo who was silent at the side.

"I don't know, that's why we need to find some clues from the information." Danzo Shimura said quietly.

"But the information is too vague. I don't know what they plan to do. At most, I can only judge that they will have a large-scale operation next, but this kind of thing can be judged only by common sense, and there is no more Clear information?" Hiruzen Sarutobi threw the scroll on the table and shook his head.

Everyone knows that the country of water cannot choose to give up the war, and in order to solve the situation that the country of thunder and the country of fire are approaching together, they must have large-scale actions, but the specific actions are not so easy to judge When it comes out, everyone has different ideas and practices. Even if they are all experienced ninjas at the same level, it is impossible to think exactly the same.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has read countless reports, but all of them are vague. They are nothing more than saying that there is a movement in a certain place in the country of water, and there is an action in a certain place, but what is it, the people below will I can't tell.

"You think I don't want to get more detailed information, but the main actions of the country of water are all carried out on the island." Shimura Danzo also threw the scroll he was reading on the table when he heard the words, with an expression on the surface He is calm, but his heart is obviously not calm, "But we just can't touch those islands. It would be better if the country of the vortex is still there. But it is because of the short-sightedness of those guys that we can't act rashly , In the end, they brought their people back, but the island was lost, I really don’t know whether it’s a profit or a loss!”

"It's all in the past, and it's useless to talk about it. For Mito-sama's sake, please forgive them." Hiruzaru Sarutobi waved his hand and said.

Danzo Shimura snorted heavily, and picked up the scroll. Seeing his friend's behavior like this, Hiruzaru Sarutobi shrugged helplessly, and asked, "Is there no alternative?"

"Yes." Shimura Danzo said while looking at the scroll.

"Sure enough it's not that easy..." At this point, Hiruzaru Sarutobi suddenly realized, and said in surprise: "There really is, what is it?"

"Don't you also know? It's the people of the Fuma family who said they could help us with intelligence, but they haven't officially agreed because they can't be trusted." Shimura Danzo said.

"They." Hiruzaru Sarutobi seemed to be discouraged, and sat back on the chair again. He did know about this, and it was he and Danzo Shimura who decided not to use them for the time being, so he forgot about these people for a while. .

The Fumo family is a special ninja family. After the end of the Warring States period, ninja families of all sizes joined the ninja villages in the country where they lived. Only a few ninja families did not choose this path, such as the Uzumaki family. There are activities of the reclusive Taketori family.

The Fengmo family was also a powerful family during the Warring States period. They did not have a fixed place of residence.

Instead, he made a living by smuggling. At the beginning, he was active in the country of Tianzhi, where he lived all year round. Later, he gradually expanded his business to the country of Tang and the vicinity of the sea. During the period when the country of water was locked, by secretly selling goods to the country of water, Let the Fengmo family earn a lot of money and become the most powerful sea smugglers.

Back then, the merchant trade supported by Konoha Ninja Village sometimes had friction with it. At that time, Konoha Shinobi, who came to study in the merchant, would participate in the task of dealing with the Fuma family, because the Fumo family did not dare to offend Konoha Ninja Village. Although there are some contradictions between the two sides, they are generally in peace.

With the support of Konoha Ninja Village, the smuggling trade on land has gradually lost its market. Therefore, the smuggling trade in the country of water has become a relatively important source of finance for the Fuma family. However, the moment the country of water launched a war, it affected the smuggling trade of the Feng Mo family and seriously damaged its interests.

Although the Fuma family can choose to continue to conduct war trade with the country of water, their main place of activity is still on land. They have had friction with Konoha Ninja Village before. Ninja Village will not care about anything, and directly choose to destroy them.

When the time comes, what will the Fengmo family do? Are they going to leave the Fire Nation and go to those sea islands to live with the Water Nation? If the Kingdom of Water is strong enough, they may still choose this path. However, the Fengmo family, which has been operating on the mainland for many years, really has no confidence in the Kingdom of Water. Sentenced to death for the land of water.

If in the war, the Kingdom of Water can obtain temporary benefits, occupy the land, and expand its own strength—although they feel that this is unlikely—but it is impossible for the Fengma family to get much benefit from it, so they smuggled The land of water that has made a living by trade will no longer need to rely on smuggling in the future, and can conduct commercial trade legitimately. You must know that the country of water actually hates smugglers like the Fumo family very much. No matter which one it is, the Fumo family cannot live well.

Therefore, for them, a country of water that is internally locked and needs to rely on trade and smuggling is their best choice. Then, they should help the Nation of Fire to win and force the Nation of Water to shrink back to the island. They think they have that value, relying on the experience of smuggling at sea, they are able to get some information, presumably Konoha Ninja Village will be interested, so that they can make friends with them, which is also beneficial to the future of the Fuma family.

However, Konoha Ninja Village is not so easy to believe in the surrender of the Fuma family, because they may also secretly unite with the country of water, planning to ambush Konoha Ninja Village. Regarding this point, the Fuma family also had expectations, but they just repeatedly expressed their sincerity and hoped that Konoha Ninja Village would agree.

"Can I agree to them? Although it is a bit risky, the next move of the country of water is likely to affect the direction of the entire war. I think this risk can still be taken. After many investigations, we have actually been able to confirm that the wind demon Is the family really sincere to collect information for us?" Sarutobi Hiruza said.

"I also think they are unlikely to betray. Although there is a little risk, if the process is strictly supervised and verified, the risk can be minimized." Shimura Danzo nodded slightly, "But I am still a little worried , what should I do if I was fooled by the other party?"

"Danzo, you should also give some trust to others. After all, risks have always existed, and they are nothing more than big and small problems. You used to pursue complete loyalty too much. You must have no risks before you agree. Willing." Hiruzaru Sarutobi said.

Shimura Danzo has some "perfectionist" tendencies, or he is too suspicious. He must repeatedly verify something to ensure that it is true. He must also confirm the loyalty of his subordinates who are going to perform tasks, so that he can express his trust. . In the original book, Shimura Danzo uses the curse seal to control the members of his roots, and cultivates them into his loyal subordinates by extinction of feelings, which can reflect his psychology.

Although after leaving Anbu, Shimura Danzo's tendency has been somewhat corrected. After all, he can't control his subordinates as strictly as he did in Anbu, at most it is restraint. Because of this, Shimura Danzo has become more tolerant of trust in others. At least the people in his own village are fine, but the Fuma family, who have left Konoha Ninja Village, dare not give trust so easily.

Shimura Danzo seemed a little hesitant, and he kept telling himself what kind of means could reduce the risk of betrayal, and repeatedly weighed the background of the Fuma family and their position. Then, he nodded and said, "Maybe you can give it a try." .”

"That's it, and, I think this is an opportunity to recruit them." Hiruzaru Sarutobi said with a smile.

"Recruitment?" Shimura Danzo was a little surprised.

"Well, although they have agreed to collect information for us now, it is because of their interests, and the current actions of the Kingdom of Water affect them. If the situation is changed, it may really happen that they secretly united with the Kingdom of Water country, ambushing our situation." Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "We can't feel relieved just because of this luck, this war will change the situation in this ninja world, since this is the case, we should also make further changes, and put Fuma It must be beneficial for the family to win over."

"What you said also makes sense." Shimura Danzo nodded, "However, the people of the Fumo family are not so easy to agree, they have already lived a life of smuggling, and if you want to get them out, you have to promise more treatment than smuggling , Will the village agree to such a thing?"

"The method is always thought of by people. Anyway, the war is not so easy to end, and something may happen in the future." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

Therefore, after the two supreme commanders on the Eastern Front reached an agreement, the ninjas of the Fuma family officially became the informants of Konoha Ninja Village. However, they did not let Konoha Ninja personally know their secret channel, which was also for their survival and interests.

After the reconnaissance of the Fuma family, a clearer report than the Konoha Ninja was sent immediately. The country of water not only mobilized troops and ships, but also mobilized a large number of troops from the mainland. Judging from the scale, it is absolutely impossible It is only invested in one place, and it can be expected that they will invest in more than two places.

"It is understandable to invest troops in more than two places. At present, it should be to open up a second front, so as to contain our troops and stabilize the front." Sarutobi Hiruza said, "However, I just don't know that they will come from here. Where to invest, and how many people will invest?"

"In more detail, even the people of the Fumo family can't find out. However, let's know what their combat strategy looks like. In common sense, we can use our own experience to speculate." Shimura Danzo said .

After that, they looked at the battlefield simulation map in the house and made speculations again and again. After judgment, they decided that they were either opening up a second front in the country of fire, or opening a second front in the country of thunder. But which one to choose, I don't know.

"It doesn't matter which one it is, there are difficulties, but the country of thunder is more difficult. Judging from common sense, it should choose the country of fire." Sarutobi Hiruza said.

"But the other party may subvert common sense. Even if they pay a little more, they may gain even more." Danzo Shimura did not agree easily, and retorted.

"Indeed." Hiruzaru Sarutobi thought for a while and agreed with his friend's judgment, "But no matter what, if they plan to open up a second front in the Land of Thunder, then we only need to unite with the people of Yunyin Ninja Village, even if we need to keep an eye on it , and there is no need to mobilize a lot of troops to go there, and we can also maintain our troops to defend."

Just when Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura guessed where Kirigakure Ninja Village might land in the Fire Country, Kirigakure Ninja Village had already begun to mobilize troops and placed a large number of troops on board. It was late at night, Mizukage Mizukage was standing on the bow of a ship, staring at the Land of Fire in the distance, and then he would officially join the battle as a shadow.

——In this battle, only victory is allowed, no defeat is allowed!

Three generations of Mizukage repeated in his heart more than once. Before the battle started, he also repeatedly declared the importance of this battle to his followers, encouraged their fighting spirit, and made them realize that they had no way out. In the final battle of Kirigakure Ninja Village, everything depends on what happens.

Mizukage Mizukage's eyes scanned every ship, even at night, he seemed to be able to see the face of Kirigakure ninja on the ship, and said slowly: "Start."

Except for the sound of the waves and the sound of the boat sailing silently, everything was very quiet. However, what followed was the beginning of a brutal war.
