Chapter 566 The value of intelligence Mu Yue
"The troops have begun to gather at the training ground No. 11." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
Because the incident happened suddenly, a team was assembled urgently this time. In order to speed up, many prescribed procedures were even skipped.
Just a few minutes before Mu Yue entered the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen was actually still having a high-level meeting.
The defeat of the Konoha troops in the Land of Grass was too sudden. Not long ago, they drove the Iwagakure troops to the border of the Land of Earth, but the result was a sudden two-level reversal.
The top leaders of Konoha had no time to find out the reasons for the defeat, and quickly decided at the meeting to form a support force to go to the Country of Grass, which was very efficient.
There is no way, the efficiency is not high, if the troops of the Country of Grass completely stop, then the northwest of the Country of Fire will be in danger.
The Iwagakure ninja troops can enter the Fire Country directly from the border between the Grass Country and the Fire Country.
At that time, not only will it be difficult for the Fire Nation daimyo to explain, but Konoha's reputation in the Fire Nation will also be affected, and it may even pose a threat to Konoha.
You must know that the Iwagakure ninja force in the Land of Grass has two jinchūriki who can fully transform into tailed beasts.
This time, even Shimura Danzo, who liked to oppose Sarutobi Hiruzen, did not cause any trouble. He only had a little dispute with Sarutobi Hiruzen over the selection of commander.
At first, Shimura Danzo wanted Orochimaru, who was stationed in the Country of Yu, to take some ninja troops directly to the Country of Grass, and then Konoha would send some more people.
Sarutobi Hiruzen believed that this was tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall.
Kumogakure hasn't done much trouble recently, but Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't believe that Kumogakure is really honest.
If the news of Konoha's defeat spreads, Kumogakure will definitely not be able to bear the loneliness and want to test it. If Orochimaru is not around then, wouldn't the defense line of Yuno Country be in danger again.
Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen neatly rejected Shimura Danzo and told him his arrangement, which was for Mu Yue to serve as the commander of the support force.
With the idea that Mu Yue was one of his own, and the situation was indeed critical, Danzo Shimura did not continue to fight for opportunities for Orochimaru.
"Are my disciples on the list of supporting troops?" Mu Yue thought for a while and asked.
Now that the situation in the ninja world is becoming increasingly chaotic, Mu Yue feels that his disciples will be safer if they stay by his side.
Although Konoha is safe, it is now a time of war. With Obito and the others' strength, Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot keep them idle. It would be a waste of combat power.
Now Obito and the others are considered elites among the jounin, and even the five major ninja villages don't have many with this level of combat power.
Rather than leaving Obito and the others in Konoha and then going on a mission to be tricked by Madara Uchiha, it would be better to take them directly to the battlefield.
Although it was dangerous on the battlefield, at least Muyue had the backbone.
Even if they can't win, Mu Yue can take them away.
"They are all here," Sarutobi Hiruzen replied.
Considering the severe situation on the battlefield in the Kingdom of Grass, the strength of the supporting troops cannot be weak, otherwise they will be sent away.
Kakashi and the others are not only excellent in terms of strength, but also have a special relationship with Muyue, making them the best candidates to support the Jonin level of the army.
Of course, if Muyue wanted Kakashi and the others to stay in Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen would agree.
Compared with Kakashi and the others, Mu Yue is definitely more important. A little privilege for the commander is nothing.
Moreover, Kakashi and the others can serve as an elite team if they stay in Konoha, and they can also shine for Konoha.
"When the troops are assembled, I will immediately lead the troops to the Country of Grass." Mu Yue nodded and prepared to leave the Hokage's office.
Apart from being a disciple, he has no other special requirements.
"These are the information on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Grass. You must read it when you have time on the road." Sarutobi Hiruzen handed Mu Yue a scroll.
There was not much time left for them. It would take too much time to explain the information about the battlefield of Grass Country in detail, so Sarutobi Hiruzen just gave a brief summary.
Mu Yue took the scroll and bowed slightly before turning and leaving.
"Please, Mu Yue." Sarutobi Hiruzen watched Mu Yue leave.
If they lose again, the situation in Konoha will not be good.
…
After leaving the Hokage's office, Mu Yue rushed to the training ground No. 11.
When Mu Yue arrived at the training ground, she saw a small ninja troop.
In fact, assembling the troops and informing Mu Yue took place at about the same time, but it took some time for Sarutobi Hiruzen and Mu Yue to tell the information.
"Commander Mu Yue, I am Misura Hamaki, who serves as the deputy commander of the army. At present, the army has assembled more than a hundred ninjas. Fifteen jounin and fifteen special jounin have all arrived." Mimura Hamaki Report to Mu Yuehui.
Mu Yue nodded slightly. The jounin must have been informed first, and the jounin moved faster.
"Teacher Muyue, I was just wondering if you could be the commander. I guess your ability is pretty good." Obito greeted Muyue with a smile.
As soon as Mu Yue stepped forward, the communication of the Jonin gathering reached them. Except for Yamato, everyone arrived at the No. 11 training ground to gather as instructed.
Kakashi glanced at Obito lightly, and he felt that there was no need to guess.
How could such a coincidence happen? As soon as Mu Yue went to the Hokage Building, an emergency call was called. Apparently Mu Yue was given a more important task.
Mu Yue smiled in response and looked at the jounin present.
Among the fifteen jonins, five were his disciples, and Mu Yue basically knew the remaining ten jonins. After all, the jounin circle in Konoha was not large.
There are Nara Suzaku and Aburame Shiki who went to the Country of Grass with Mozuki to attack the Grass Ninja Village. There is also Hyuga Hizashi who once fought side by side on the Kirigakure battlefield. There is also Akimichi who met at the Jonin Conference through Namikaze Minato. Tangdong.
Most of the official jounin are ninjas from various ninja clans, and the majority of jounin in particular are ordinary ninjas.
While Mu Yue looked at them, the ninjas also looked at Mu Yue.
Except for the jounin who had an important position in the ninja army, the other ninjas did not know what was going on, and they did not expect that the commander would be the young and junior Mu Yue.
"Currently, apart from the senior officials and Lady Tsunade, the only one left in the village who is most qualified to lead the ninja force is Commanding Mu Yue." Nara Suzaku thought in his mind.
If Nara Shikaku was in Konoha, he could still barely compete. Although Nara Shikaku was not strong, he had outstanding intelligence and would have the support of the Akimichi and Yamanaka clans.
Now that Ino Shikacho is not in Konoha, not even Namikaze Minato, who is as famous as Mu Yue, is not there. Mu Yue is the most suitable candidate.
"I really didn't expect that just after becoming a jounin, I would become the commander of the army." Akimichi Tōtō was surprised at Mu Yue's growth rate.
If he remembered correctly, it seemed that more than two years had passed since Mu Yue became a Jonin.
"It's really reassuring to have Mu Yue as the commander." Hinata Hizashi smiled at Mu Yue.
He is the sensing captain of the support force this time, and Mu Yue knew that Mu Yue was the commander before he came. Hinata Hizashi didn't think this was inappropriate. Although Mu Yue had only been a jounin for a short time, in terms of merit, he was ahead of many jounin who were more than ten years old.
Mu Yue quietly watched the ninja troops gathering quickly without speaking.
Obito and other disciples also knew that this was a serious occasion, so except when Mu Yue first arrived, they did not speak again and stood quietly in the front row of the ninja troops.
After waiting for the ninja troops to arrive, Mu Yue spoke.
"Konoha's ninja troops in the Land of Grass were defeated not long ago."
Mu Yue's words were like throwing a bomb into the calm water, instantly making most of the ninjas in the ninja army uneasy.
Some people looked shocked, surprised that there was no sign of the defeat of the Kingdom of Grass. Some people showed worried expressions, worried about their relatives or friends who had gone to the battlefield.
"Something happened over there in the Land of Grass! Uncle Toad and Minato-sensei seem to be in the ninja troops there." Obito immediately thought of Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato, and couldn't help but feel worried.
Although Jiraiya liked to brag and was always misbehaving, he was pretty good to him, not to mention Namikaze Minato, who was Obito's second most respected and favorite teacher.
"They should be fine," Kakashi said, shaking his head softly.
According to future information, Namikaze Minato died after becoming Hokage, and Jiraiya died from the evil Akatsuki organization when Uzumaki Naruto was a teenager.
Although the future will definitely change due to their actions, such as Yamato becoming Muyue's disciple.
However, they haven't taken much action yet, so it stands to reason that they can't have much impact on the ninja world.
Kakashi was more worried about Muyue than Namikaze Minato and the others.
This defeat came so suddenly that even people like Kakashi, who paid close attention to the situation in the ninja world, did not notice any signs.
In his impression, Konoha's troops should have a great advantage in the Country of Grass.
Since the Iwagakure troops could suddenly turn a big disadvantage into an advantage, they must have some powerful means. Maybe it was the war that killed Mu Yue.
"It's still too weak now." Kakashi sighed in his heart. With their current strength, only Metkai could barely help Muyue.
Although they have practiced very hard, they still have too little time to practice. After all, most of them are only eleven years old. In peacetime, they have not graduated from Ninja School.
"I hope I can learn Yang Seal before that day comes."
If he can master the Yang Seal, even if there is no progress in other abilities, Kakashi's actual combat power will still rise sharply.
Shisui's expression was solemn, he and Kakashi had similar conjectures.
"The time is still too short."
Compared to Kakashi and the others, Shisui is a little younger, even under ten years old now.
Mu Yue did not give the ninjas much time to react, and quickly said:
"Next, our mission is to support the ninja troops of the Country of Grass and prevent the ninja troops of the Iwagakure from entering the Country of Fire."
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not ask Muyue to defeat the Iwagakure ninja troops. His request was to defend well and prevent Iwagakure from invading the Fire Country.
As long as Iwagakure is not allowed to break through the defense line and enter the Fire Country, Mu Yue will have completed her mission.
If Mu Yue repelled the Iwagakure troops and severely damaged the Iwagakure troops, that would be an additional achievement.
"Let's go!" About a minute later, Mu Yue glanced at all the ninjas in the army with a serious look and shouted.
No one raised any questions or complaints, and they all silently followed Muyue as she quickly left Konoha and rushed to the Country of Grass.
For a ninja, this is actually not too outrageous.
When there is an urgent task that needs to be performed, it is always given a task goal and then started.
This time, it can be regarded as a collective emergency mission for a large number of people.
Moreover, Konoha's village-loving education is going very well, and the ninjas have a high sense of responsibility for protecting the village.
When they heard that Iwagakure might invade, many ninjas thought that they must keep Iwagakure out of the Land of Fire and not allow Iwagakure to have the opportunity to destroy Konoha.
On the way, Mu Yue read the information given to him by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
If Mu Yue were to move forward at full speed, he would definitely not be able to read information while running at that speed.
But if they were moving forward with the ninja troops, then Mu Yue would have room to watch while running.
After all, the advancement speed of the ninja troops was not fast for him.
"Sarutobi Hiroyuki rebelled and assassinated Jiraiya, showing similar abilities to the Iwagakure assassination team." Looking at such information, Mu Yue showed a thoughtful expression.
In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen's speech was relatively brief. He only briefly talked about the Iwagakure assassination team and did not mention Sarutobi Hiromi's mutiny attack.
At first, when I heard Hiruzen Sarutobi talk about Mu Yue, I thought it was Bai Zetsu. Then looking at the detailed war information, Mu Yue was not 100%, but 98% likely to be Bai Zetsu.
The ninjutsu that quickly eliminates the breath is the Mayfly Technique, and the reason why Sarutobi Hiromichi rebelled is that he is not Sarutobi Hiromichi himself at all, but Bai Zetsu who used the disguise technique.
Ordinary White Zetsu are actually not very strong. If they have information, a more powerful chuunin can kill White Zetsu.
The most powerful thing about Bai Jue is his skill configuration. Bai Jue's skills can only be described as high-end.
The art of disguise is the most powerful transformation art in the entire Hokage, which can imitate the essence of ninja - chakra.
The Mayfly Jutsu is the most advanced stealth movement ninjutsu, which can blend with the earth, eliminate all auras, and move at high speeds.
The two skills combined make Bai Zetsu the strongest intelligence ninja in the ninja world and an assassin who is difficult to guard against on the battlefield.
Bai Jue takes action, Mu Yue feels that Jiraiya's defeat is normal, Bai Jue's troubles at the end of the third battle are somewhat of a dimensionality reduction blow.
You must know that the 80,000 ninja coalition with a large number of strong men in the fourth battle was overwhelmed by Bai Zetsu, let alone Jiraiya's ninja troops.
"But for me, this is not too much trouble." Mu Yue thought in her mind.
Mu Yue has an inconspicuous but powerful skill, which is identification.
No matter how resembling Bai Jue is in his disguise, everything will be revealed once he looks at his appraisal skills.
The disadvantage of the identification technique is that Mu Yue must see it before it can be used. So far, Mu Yue has not seen Bai Jue who dared to appear in front of him.
As long as Bai Jue dares to play undercover games with his ninja troops, Mu Yue will let them know what intelligence Mu Yue is.
Information Jiraiya only exists in theory, but Mu Yue really has the appraisal technique that can see through chakra and skills.
