Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

This also explains why Danzo's previous attempts to target him all ended in failure.

I just don't know what happened to him that caused him to break this seemingly inescapable situation.

The four walked forward for a while, and then Hayato Eme suddenly gave a strange order.

"This area is beyond the sights of the camp patrols and sentries. The enemy is appearing quite frequently, and since we are on a covert mission, we absolutely cannot reveal our whereabouts."

"Uchiha Mikoto, stealthily search two kilometers along the due east direction, then return and report back."

Mikoto hesitated for a moment, but still carried out the order as required.

Meanwhile, Hayato Eme closed his eyes and waited in place.

Half a minute later, his entire body suddenly turned into smoke with a bang.

This is actually a shadow clone.

At the very moment the shadow clone turned into smoke, a bright yet cold arc suddenly flashed behind him.

The other two genin in the group clutched their necks and collapsed to the ground in terror.

Hayato Eme's true form has appeared.

No one knows when he replaced his original body with a shadow clone, nor does anyone know what he did during that time; even the video did not show any related content.

All that is known is that at this moment, he has suffered multiple injuries, is covered in blood, and looks extremely weak.

After killing two spies in the group, Eme Hayato created two more shadow clones.

One of them transformed into a Sand Ninja and chased after Mikoto.

The other one, still retaining its original appearance, took three blank scrolls from the original and began writing on them rapidly.

He then summoned three white falcons, handed them to his shadow clone, and then vanished from the spot using Body Flicker.

The shadow clones that remained in place wrote three separate intelligence reports and then sent them away one by one using summoning beasts.

He used a Wind Release technique to destroy the heads of two spies, while also disguising the scene. Then, he ran out of chakra and turned into smoke.

Meanwhile, the shadow clones that became Sand Ninjas arrived first and lurked along Mikoto's path.

Because it was a classified mission, and her orders were to conduct a stealthy search, Mikoto moved with extreme caution.

Instead of using the teleportation technique to run, he would stop every now and then to carefully observe his surroundings.

But it's clear that she's still quite a distance from being a Jonin, especially someone like Hayato Eme, who is considered a pretty good Jonin.

Not long after, he was sent flying by Eme Hayato's shadow clone, which had transformed into a Sand Ninja, and crashed into a tree with a Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, sustaining serious injuries.

The shadow clone, pressing its advantage, launched another barrage of thousands of arrows after its successful sneak attack.

Despite Mikoto's best efforts to dodge, she was still hit.

Furthermore, these senbon needles were coated with a poison unique to the Sand Ninja, giving their tips an eerie purple hue.

Mikoto's face turned ashen at a visible speed.

The Sand Village may not be as strong as the Leaf Village, or even as strong as other ninja villages, in terms of upper-level combat power.

However, ordinary ninjas are surprisingly difficult to deal with, and the reason lies in one word: poison.

The Hidden Sand Village has a top-tier poison master who is no less skilled than Tsunade. He possesses various highly lethal poisons, as well as extremely difficult-to-treat and analyze complex poisons.

On the front lines, where medical ninjas are in short supply, the situation is almost unsolvable.

It is especially effective against genin and chunin of the same rank, and can be considered a fatal blow.

Mikoto is no stranger to war and naturally knows the terror of Sand Village poisons.

She forced herself to take an antidote pill, but her heart was still filled with pessimism.

Even if the antidote pills were effective, in a dangerous battlefield where life and death can be decided in an instant, they wouldn't have enough time to take effect.

The other party couldn't possibly wait for him to successfully detoxify before making a move.

"I'm sorry, Mom, Dad, and Grandpa, I really can't go back."

However, just as Mikoto's eyes were filled with tears and her heart was filled with despair, Eme Hayato's true form arrived.

His face was filled with anxiety, and his body was covered in wounds.

To conceal the previously dried bloodstains, much of the fresh blood seeped from the new wounds.

"Mikoto, the Sand Village has launched a surprise attack. You immediately take the intelligence back to base and report to them, reminding them to take precautions. I will handle the Sand Village ninja."

Upon seeing Mikoto hesitate and unwilling to leave,

Hayato Eme even frowned and sternly rebuked:

"There are many wounded ninjas in the camp, and they are almost powerless in combat. If they are ambushed, the consequences will be unimaginable."

If this camp is breached, the entire course of the war will be affected. Do you realize how heavy the responsibility you bear on your shoulders right now?

After a series of maneuvers, Mikoto Uchiha was finally forced to turn back.

Shortly after she left, the real Sand Ninja finally appeared at the top of the screen.

The battle is about to break out.

Chapter 66 Hayato's Fame and the Feeling Deceived Original Uchiha Itachi

As Mikoto's figure disappeared from sight, Hayato Eme finally felt relieved.

Even though he had put his mind at ease, he still carefully reviewed his plans in his mind to see if there were any flaws.

"On the way here, I carefully sensed and explored, extending outwards for more than ten kilometers along both sides of the road, and found no enemies."

The two Root squads that were used for surveillance and even to carry out direct attacks at crucial moments were also completely eliminated.

Unless Mikoto Uchiha's luck is extremely bad, successfully returning to the camp should not be a problem.

Next, all that's needed is to eliminate the vanguard of the Sand Village raiding force, and all doubts can be completely erased.

Even if Danzo had spies within the Sand Village, it would be impossible for him to find out what exactly happened here.

"Danzo is willing to completely break off relations in the open to attack a rising star jonin like me, who has a well-known reputation."

His actions must have provoked discontent in the village or drawn protests from the Uchiha clan. He might lose his position as commander because of this, which is why he dared to act so recklessly.

Furthermore, the handover should take place within the next few days; otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry.

"The entire squad was wiped out except for Mikoto. Even the Jonin leading the squad was killed in battle, and Mikoto herself was seriously injured."

As is customary, he will not be sent out on missions again in the near future.

Recovery from injuries, the deployment of a new team, and the adjustment process with teammates would be impossible to complete in less than half a month.

By now, the new commander should have taken office, so there's no need to worry about being targeted anymore.

"Furthermore, bringing back information about the Sand Village raiding force is a major achievement. Combined with her previous accumulated battle merits, it's more than enough for Mikoto to be promoted to Jonin."

However, the higher-ups would not allow such a young genius, especially one who is loyal to the Uchiha clan, to emerge from within the Uchiha. They would most likely find a reason to transfer him back to the Uchiha for rest and recuperation.

In this way, Mikoto could even escape this quagmire and no longer have to participate in the war.

Once she returns to the village, joining the police department will be a piece of cake given her status; even within the village, it will be very difficult to transfer her.

"And all the information about the classified mission, including the specific identity of the spy who infiltrated Amegakure, as well as the rendezvous location and time between the two sides, etc."

I was the only one who knew all of this, and after reading it, I immediately destroyed the quest scroll in front of Danzo.

Even if the news leaks after my death and the spy is discovered, there will be no reason to investigate or blame Mikoto.

"The Uchiha will receive my message soon, and they will take action. I've also arranged for others to keep watch over the camp in secret. There shouldn't be any other loopholes, right?"

When Eme Hayato's series of heartfelt words reached everyone's ears...

Almost everyone's eyes were filled with glistening tears.

This ordinary Jonin, who was unremarkable and didn't even appear in the main storyline, touched countless people.

He used his own death,

This disqualified Mikoto from carrying out the mission, thus helping her escape this seemingly unsolvable predicament and successfully survive.

Mikoto even awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan as a result, instantly becoming an elite Jonin.

"I'm so touched. This is probably what teachers and parents mean."

"Whether as a ninja or a teacher, this Jonin named Eme Hayato can be considered excellent."

"Konoha has been ravaged so many times, yet it still hasn't been destroyed. It must have a lot of resources."

"Meticulous planning and scheming, all for the sake of a justifiable death—such spirit and courage are worthy of the title of ninja."

"This once again proves the greatness of our Fourth Hokage. Without him, I can't imagine what Konoha or we would be like now."

……

Original Uchiha Mikoto (Dead):

"Thank you, teacher. Thank you so much. Besides my parents, you are probably the only person I am grateful to."

Original Minato Namikaze (Undead):

"It's such a pity that such a promising Jonin has been reduced to this level of infighting. It's really unacceptable."

Original Uzumaki Kushina (Undead):

"Wow, I want such a good teacher too! That perverted old man Jiraiya always disappears without a trace, and I can't find him."

Original Uchiha Itachi:

"So the Uchiha clan has suffered so much injustice? I've been deceived all along, thinking that the clan members were just too narrow-minded to hate the higher-ups."

Hayato Senju of the Ninja World:

"Is the me from another world actually Uchiha Mikoto's teacher? It's a pity that the me here doesn't seem to have such an excellent disciple."

……

Countless bullet comments,

The situation reached a climax when Hayato Senju, the current leader of the ninja world, spoke up.

This retired, ordinary Jonin, who wasn't well-known in either world, suddenly became famous, and his fame spread throughout the entire ninja world.
