On the night of the Nine-Tails, I shattered the Tailed Beast Ball with a single punch.

A genius like him can learn ninjutsu, fight in physical combat, and even has some knowledge of illusion techniques, but he is absolutely incapable of analyzing women.

After confirming Hana's wishes, Kakashi took Hana and headed towards the edge of Kusagakure.

Yongze also has contingency plans for unexpected events during the operation. If they are exposed in advance, they will notify Yongze directly, and Yongze will speed up the operation and proceed directly to the final step.

The final step was to impersonate an Iwa ninja and storm the Anbu, destroying the fake data room and throwing the Kusanagi ninja into chaos.

That's why he sent his shadow clone to inform Yongze and Yanshui.

They could find salt water at the hotel, but as for Nagasawa, he directly destroyed the spell he left at the hotel, so Nagasawa naturally knew that something had gone wrong.

……

Kakashi, using his shadow clone, quickly informed Salt Water and Midori Inuzuka. Salt Water asked, "Have you tried to notify Nagasawa-san?"

Kakashi, the shadow clone, nodded: "The other shadow clone went to destroy the spell when I came here. Squad Leader Nagasawa should know that something went wrong."

Salt water instantly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Yongze knew the situation, there would be no problem. The data was with Yongze. No matter how bad the situation got, Yongze could rush out with the data without much trouble.

Just as Kakashi finished speaking and was about to dispel his shadow clone, a whooshing sound rang out, and instantly another person appeared in the room.

It was Nagasawa's shadow clone that was dispatched after realizing that the spell he left behind had been destroyed.

"What happened?" asked the shadow clone of Nagasawa.

Kakashi repeated what he had just said, and Nagasawa immediately said, "Don't deactivate yet, let's go and attack the Grass Ninja Anbu together."

"Don't worry about the mission data. I've already switched it. You just need to be careful and make sure you're safe while you're causing damage," Yongze said with a smile.

Although Kakashi was exposed, he still disguised himself as an Iwa ninja. Even if the Kusanagi ninja didn't believe him, at least he put on the act.

So there's still a chance his plan will be completed, as long as he acts quickly enough.

Nagasawa's shadow clone and the three others, including Salt Water, performed a simple transformation jutsu and then headed straight for the Grass Ninja Anbu.

This time, they're going to cause a big stir.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Nagasawa is a good friend of the Kusanagi ninja.

It was another beautiful, sunny afternoon. The leader of the Grass Ninja was quietly watching everything in the Grass Ninja from the large French windows.

Suddenly, the office door was pounded on violently.

boom!boom!

The leader of the Grass Ninja frowned. How inconsiderate of them! Don't they know to knock on the door more quietly?

"Enter."

Although he was somewhat displeased, the leader of the Grass Ninja quickly composed himself and spoke swiftly.

Such a rush suggests that something serious has likely happened.

After receiving the approval of the Grass Ninja leader, a Grass Ninja rushed in.

The leader of the Grass Ninja looked at the Grass Ninja in front of him. His forehead was covered with tiny beads of sweat, and his legs were trembling slightly, probably because he had just run at high speed.

Whoosh!

The grass ninja took a couple of breaths, quickly catching his breath before saying, "Boss, something bad has happened! There's an Iwa ninja spy infiltrating the village."

The leader of the Grass Ninja showed a strange expression. A spy from the Rock Ninja?

Why would the Iwa ninja send spies to the Kusagakure village? The Kusagakure village has nothing that would interest the Iwa ninja.

Moreover, given the current situation, if Iwagakure were to send spies, they would send them to Konoha. Sending them to Kusagakure would be a pure waste of resources and manpower. Everyone in the ninja world knows that Kusagakure has always been a fence-sitter; whoever is stronger becomes their ally.

"Don't rush, explain carefully," the Grass Ninja leader said.

The grass ninja thought for a moment, organized his thoughts, and then said, "Lord Aonuma was injured during a mission and returned to the village. While he was receiving treatment at the hospital, an Iwa ninja suddenly appeared in his ward."

Fortunately, Aonuma-sama has keen senses and spotted him before the Iwa ninja attacked, otherwise he would have been in danger.

After being discovered by Lord Aonuma, the Iwa ninja fled. Lord Aonuma, fearing they might have accomplices who could endanger the Kusagakure ninja, sent me to inform you, Boss.

The leader of the Grass Ninja fell into deep thought. He felt that something was amiss, so he asked, "Did you notice what kind of ninjutsu that Iwa Ninja used, and the style of his kunai and shuriken?"

Although the lethality of kunai and shuriken is roughly the same in each country, their styles are still different and have subtle differences.

The grass ninja thought for a moment, then said, "He didn't use kunai, he only used ninjutsu once, it was a lightning release ninjutsu."

The leader of the Grass Ninja remained silent.

Lightning Release ninjutsu; the proportion of Iwa ninjas who can use Lightning Release ninjutsu is estimated to be about the same as that of the Hokage who can use Fire Release ninjutsu.

The leader of the Grass Ninja was now basically certain that the Iwa Ninja who attacked Aonuma was definitely not a real Iwa Ninja, but a ninja from another village in disguise.

Lightning Release ninjutsu is one aspect, but the most important issue is the motivation.

There's no need for the Iwa ninja to send spies to the Kusanagi ninja.

'So, which ninja village is it?' The leader of the Grass Ninja Village narrowed his eyes, a vague guess forming in his mind.

Having just ended a major war, only a handful of major powers have the resources to do something like this.

Among those major powers, the only one with a motive is Gen, whom he offended not long ago.

Of course, this is just speculation at the moment, and we'll have to wait for the investigation results to be sure.

The leader of the Grass Ninja quickly mobilized all the ninjas in the vicinity, and then sent people to mobilize the Anbu as well.

Nagasawa, who was in the Anbu, received orders from the Grass Ninja. Although he hadn't returned because his Shadow Clone Jutsu hadn't yet recovered his memories, he guessed that the Iwa Ninja was Kakashi.

To support the Shadow Clone's plan to attack the Anbu, Nagasawa was incredibly proactive, deploying a large number of Anbu members to patrol the village, vowing to capture the spies.

One of the squad leaders cautiously said, "Isn't it a bad idea to send so many people out? What if someone attacks the Dark Division?"

Yongze laughed and said, "The truly important places in the Dark Guard are protected by experts. Anyone who goes there will just be walking into a trap. Besides, what enemy would dare to go to the Dark Guard? The Dark Guard has always been the most dangerous place."

Nagasawa wore a grief-stricken expression: "Aonuma Jonin is an indispensable ninja for our Kusagakure. I am heartbroken that he was attacked. I, Kizuki, will definitely capture that Iwa ninja spy and make him suffer a terrible death!"

Hearing Nagasawa's heartfelt words, the ANBU members next to him couldn't help but applaud and exclaim, "If there were more ninjas like Lord Kizuki in the Grass Ninja Village, how could the Grass Ninja Village not catch up with the Five Great Nations?"

“Yes, no one cares about the Grass Ninja more than Lord Kizuki,” an Anbu member chimed in.

A few more ninjas like him? Nagasawa smiled. If there were a few more like him, the Land of Grass might be destroyed.

……

……

Led by Nagasawa's shadow clone, Kakashi, Salt Water, and the others quickly arrived near the Grass Ninja's ANBU base.

At this time, there were not many secret agents left in the secret service base; most of them were stationed in some confidential locations.

The four made no attempt to hide, appearing openly and brazenly before the eyes of the secret police guards.

Upon seeing the four Iwa ninja dressed as they had appeared out of nowhere, the two ANBU guards at the gate immediately pressed a button.

Beep beep beep!!

I don't know what kind of alarm device it was, but it went off immediately.

Just as the two Grass Ninja Anbu were about to unleash their ninjutsu, Nagasawa's shadow clone moved.

Whoosh!!

With two powerful stomps on the ground, the shadow clone Nagasawa vanished instantly before the eyes of the two Kusanagi ANBU.

Boom! !

In an instant, the two Kusanagi ANBU felt a tremendous force strike their bodies from behind.

Rumble!!

Two Kusanagi ANBU were sent flying and crashed into the courtyard wall, breaking it open. In an instant, rubble flew everywhere and dust filled the air.

This powerful force made Salt Water and Kakashi secretly startled. If it was the power of Nagasawa's true form, then it would be normal.

But this is Yongze's shadow clone. If the shadow clone is so strong, how strong is the real body?

Saltwater realized that he might have underestimated Yongze's power; perhaps Yongze was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

"Let's go. Be careful to protect the card; it's just a shadow clone," Yongze reminded them.

He didn't care; with his speed, no one could hit him.

Inuzuka Midori patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, with me here, I'll definitely block any attacks he faces."

Seeing Inuzuka Midori like this, Nagasawa became even more worried and said, "There's no need to do that. If the attack is too strong, let him take it himself. Anyway, it's a shadow clone, so if he dies, he dies."

Shadow Clone Kakashi: ...Then should he leave?

The sudden alarm prompted the few remaining ANBU ninjas to quickly assemble, and almost all of them, except those in the deeper ANBU, moved towards the sentry post.

The only remaining squad leader quickly issued orders.

"You're fast, go to the special passage to report intelligence and request reinforcements from the leader. The rest of you come with me to guard the entrance to the secret service and prevent the enemy from getting in."

The Grass Ninja's ANBU was built with a lot of effort, and even if no data was lost, the loss of the buildings alone is enough to make one feel bad.

"Damn it, of all times," the squad leader cursed under his breath.

Neither the chief commander nor the deputy chief commander came to the Dark Division today.

The captain was called away by the leader, and Kizuki took three squads out. This was the weakest point for the Kusanagi Anbu.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Yongze's Difficult Journey

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

Kakashi quickly formed hand seals as his shadow clone, while Midori Inuzuka and Salt Water stood guard beside him.

When a Grass Ninja ANBU rushed over, Salt Water used Shadow Imitation Technique to control them, and then Inuzuka Midori used Taijutsu to attack.

Kakashi, on the other hand, consistently used wide-range attack ninjutsu to destroy the Kusanagi Anbu.

The squad leader could only watch helplessly as Anbu buildings were destroyed by Kakashi's wide-range ninjutsu, and he was completely powerless to do anything about it.

Because he was being targeted by Nagasawa, he was barely able to protect himself, let alone deal with Kakashi and the others.

Having spent some time in the Kusanagi Anbu, Nagasawa naturally knew their strength, and the strongest squad leader was rightfully his target.

call out!
