However, due to an accident during an operation, both of Mizuma's parents perished in a foreign land.

Since then, he has never seen his childhood companions smile again, and most of the time they no longer play with him, but instead quietly curl up in their empty homes.

No matter who tries to comfort them, or how they try to comfort them, it's all in vain.

Until one day later,

Without warning, Mizumabe left the silent, lifeless little house, saying to his still-young self:

[Sorry, Urakami-kun, I'm going to stay with a distant relative in a very far place.]

Perhaps we'll never meet again.

But you will always be my best friend.

【goodbye. 】

All he remembered was that his friends that day seemed unusually mature and unfamiliar, which made him overlook the sadness of parting.

Although this happened a long time ago, and although he has many new friends and partners around him today.

However, Urakami Susumu was never able to forget this past.

Even occasionally, it might have this inexplicable illusion:

That means the other person hasn't completely left him; he's still in Konoha, still looking at the same sky as him, and that he's seen that guy's figure at some unexpected time, at some unexpected corner!

Referring to the present, referring to this scene right now,

It turns out that all of these feelings were real.

Mizumabe, you've never truly left me, never!!

"let me go!"

"open!"

Urakami Susumu roared and howled, desperately trying to cross the drawn boundary to collect the remains of his former playmate and eliminate all his enemies.

However, he was being fiercely suppressed by his teammates, because the crimson dragon head that was coiled down was a stark reminder of something.

Crossing the boundary is tantamount to starting a war.

Moreover, this is not an isolated case. There are two other heads whose owners have been identified, and they are from two small families in Konoha.

Among the troops stationed in this area were their own people.

"It seems I did not frame you."

Chino's voice remained cold, showing no empathy despite the pain the other ninja was experiencing.

after all,

They also had comrades who died in this invasion. Who can empathize with their sorrow and pain?

Shima Mitsuhiro was speechless.

Not only him, but also the Konoha ninjas dressed in dark green ninja armor gathered around him remained silent.

Clearly, this incident was a case of the Root ninjas running into a brick wall while gathering intelligence.

Do not,

Perhaps this can no longer be described as simply gathering intelligence.

Sending out several elite units of covert operations already qualifies as a small-scale military operation!

"Take this and take a good look at the disgusting mask your respected high-ranking officials wear."

"They secretly allied with Kumogakure, which had persecuted the Hyuga clan, sowed discord in the Land of Iron, which upheld the will of peace, and hired the infamous Akatsuki organization."

"That's really interesting."

Chapter 402 The Choice to Sever Diplomatic Ties, the Last Dignity of the Iron Nation.

The thin letter crossed the blood-soaked land and landed steadily in Shima Mitsuhiro's hands.

This time, no one tried to stop them.

Perhaps it was because they feared the terrible consequences of rashly crossing the border;

Perhaps it was because the other party mentioned that there were many such letters, and destroying one or two would not change anything;

Or perhaps, when the corpses of ninjas belonging to their own faction were carelessly thrown out, some of the convictions they had previously held onto began to crumble.

This confrontation, which has already resulted in bloodshed, was largely instigated by those above them.

[This includes a secret alliance with their sworn enemy, the Hidden Cloud Village.]

The atmosphere within the Konoha camp became very strange for a time.

Anger, confusion, intimidation, sadness and other emotions were all mixed together.

Most people's eyes were also subconsciously drawn to the blood-stained letter.

What exactly is written in this book?

"how?"

"Aren't you going to take a look?"

"Look at those hypocritical old men in your village, what kind of faces do they really have behind the scenes?"

Chino spoke with icy sarcasm.

Peace can never be maintained by one side alone. Once the other side takes excessive actions, the consequences will be unpredictable!

Upon hearing such a voice, Shima Mitsuhiro suddenly looked up.

His pupils trembled slightly, and his fingers, holding the letter, also trembled.

In fact, such a thin piece of paper could be opened simply by rubbing his fingers together, but he couldn't do something so simple.

If it is determined to be fake, then there is naturally no problem.

And it can be directly determined that it was a psychological tactic launched by the Thunder Light Group.

If this is true, then the will held by most of the Konoha ninja will suffer an unprecedented blow!

You must understand, they are Konoha, the number one ninja village, a village that upholds the ideal of "peace". How could such a dark thing be started by our side?

Moreover, the current Third Hokage is so kind and approachable, and so respectable!

Shima Mitsuhiro suddenly began to understand why those Sarutobi clan ninjas had acted so drastically. This was no mere piece of paper; it was a scorching hot iron!

Ignoring the stares from all sides, ignoring the sarcasm from other countries,

Ultimately, he did not unfold the letter.

He couldn't make such a decision on his own; all he could do was neatly tuck it back into his clothes and seal it away for the time being.

"May we be allowed to retrieve our companion's body?"

"Perhaps they did some unforgivable things under orders during their lives, but the dead are gone, and they have paid for their crimes with their lives."

Mitsuhiro Shima talked about other things, no longer fixated on the incident.

Moreover, they have neither the ability nor the right to make any decisions.

The essence of being a ninja is to follow orders.

Qian Nai is indifferent,

She is not good at dealing with such compromises.

What they really wanted to see was for the Konoha faction to become enraged and cross the line, so that they could use the other side's blood to pay tribute to their fallen comrades and vent their pent-up resentment.

"Come alone."

After a brief silence, and without any further instructions from the boy behind her, she overturned the previous prohibition.

"Thank you."

Upon hearing this, a strange look appeared in Shima Mitsuhiro's eyes.

It was clear that they could feel the anger from the opposing forces, and it was no surprise that the elites of Root had also caused great losses to the Land of Hot Springs in this operation.

Despite this opposition, the other party still agreed to their terms.

After bowing, he stepped across the designated boundary alone and carefully and meticulously collected the bodies of his companions.

Regardless of what these so-called companions did in front of them, at this moment, these souls left in a foreign land have only one identity:

He was a ninja from Konoha, from his own village.

At the same time, along with this feeling settled a firm conviction:

Reject war! Reject this pointless sacrifice!

Peace is hard-won.

The war in the East three years ago had already caused too many of his comrades pain, and he really didn't want to see that happen again.

Of course, if the enemy attempts to invade,

Then he would not be afraid of the consequences or death and would not be afraid to fight!

This time, however, all the evidence presented points to their own side as the instigator who first provoked the conflict.

"I think there must be some misunderstandings involved."

"The Third Hokage would never do such a thing, and although these ninjas belong to Konoha, they are not the Hokage's direct subordinates."

Mitsuhiro Shima still didn't believe it.

I can't believe my family member would do such a thing.

To this end, he even went so far as to reveal some information about his own organization's structure to explain, which was also to appease his colleagues and prevent them from having any wild thoughts while performing their duties.

"I believe that we will give you a reasonable explanation soon."

"During this period, I hope to work with you to exercise restraint."

It remained steadfast, while simultaneously restraining its companions from retreating.

This reflects an unwillingness to start a war.
