People are in Konoha, scientific achievements are followed by blood

Since it was a infiltration investigation rather than an assassination mission, Shisui naturally did not wear his very conspicuous, ugly and cute ANBU animal mask.

The two of them rushed straight from Konoha to the Kingdom of Wind.

Generally speaking, there are no more than three ways to obtain information about other ninja villages:

The first method is to send professional spy ninjas from the village to lurk in the target ninja village as ninjas or civilians.

Orthodox spy ninjas generally take too long to train and require high investment costs, so their numbers are small and suitable for long-term lurking. For example, this was the case when Yakushi Noonoyu was lurking in Iwagakure.

More often, the transformation technique is used temporarily to replace a key figure. This method is risky and requires high ninja strength. It is suitable for temporary lurking, such as when Orochimaru is lurking in Kumogakure.

The second method is to use coercion and inducement to instigate rebellion, or simply use ninjutsu, illusions or drugs to control ninjas from other villages and let him serve as a spy.

The third method is simply to capture the key person and use torture to pry open his mouth, or simply use secret techniques to obtain the information you want from his head.

Yayoi and Shisui came to the Kingdom of Wind this time because Konoha learned about the unusual movements in Sunagakure Village from spies lurking in the Kingdom of Wind.

The spy who brought the news was a civilian in the Kingdom of Wind. To be more precise, the news came from several places in the Kingdom of Wind at the same time.

The people who brought the news were not even professional spies. They could only be said to be civilian informants who were bribed with money.

Generally speaking, the value of the information transmitted by such an informant is naturally limited, and they mainly focus on catching rumors.

However, after all, Sunagakure had a hostile relationship with Konoha a few years ago, so he still had to be wary of them.

Moreover, the contents of the reports coming from different places this time were surprisingly unified, which suddenly increased their credibility.

Therefore, although the Third Hokage believed in his heart that Sunagakure did not pose a threat to Konoha, he still sent Yayoi and Shisui to the Kingdom of Wind to investigate.

The purpose of their trip, in addition to spying on the basic public sentiment in the Land of Wind, was more importantly to contact an espionage ninja lurking inside Sunagakure in Konoha and bring back the real information about Sunagakure.

……

On the way to Sunagakure, Shisui and Yayoi were also communicating with each other, revealing some information about their abilities to each other, so that they could cooperate in missions in the future.

During the period, the two also talked about some of their respective views on the trip.

As a member of ANBU, Shisui knew a lot of information from all aspects.

From this information, he also had a general understanding of Sunagakure's current internal situation.

As the loser in the Second Ninja War, although they were not forced to sign any harsh treaties, Sunagakure's recovery after the war has not been successful, and there are many undercurrents within it.

For example, the opposition ninjas represented by Granny Chiyo were very dissatisfied with the armistice.

If it weren't for the strong suppression of the Sandaime Kazekage, who is known as the 'strongest Kazekage in history', there might have been turmoil within Sunagakure itself.

After knowing this information, Shisui, like the Third Hokage, was very optimistic about the situation and believed that Sunagakure did not pose a threat to Konoha for the time being.

The sudden movement of the Sand Ninja this time was probably related to other things.

Yayoi is not as optimistic as Shisui. As someone who knows the direction of the plot, he knows that the Third Ninja War, which has brought heavy losses to Konoha, will happen in the not-too-distant future!

This unusual movement of the Sand Ninja is likely to be a precursor to this war - the disappearance of the third Kazekage, the 'Strongest Kazekage'.

During the conversation, Yayoi also noticed something:

In the words of Uchiha Shisui, there is always a mysterious sense of identification with Konoha, or a kind of 'ownership'.

Of course, there is also a hint of pride that is generally associated with the Uchiha name.

The impression given to people is probably that "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of Konoha", "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", or even "the life and death of Konoha depends on *****", "who will go to hell if I don't"? Go to Hell' This kind of (poisonous) chicken soup has washed your brain.

It seems that the importance of the village is far higher than his own life and even his family.

Completely different from ordinary Uchiha people.

Yayoi was a little curious, how did Shisui develop a personality like a loyal dog of Konoha?

Is it the special eye-opening mechanism of the Sharingan and the spiritual characteristics of the Uchiha people that create this?

Yayoi once asked Shisui insinuatingly.

Shisui also didn't shy away from talking about his past.

The elder of Uchiha Shisui was "Uchiha Mirror" who once served as the bodyguard of the second generation Hokage.

As a descendant of Uchiha Mirror, Uchiha Shisui joined Konoha Anbu early, and under the influence of his family, inherited Uchiha Mirror's 'Will of Fire'.He takes it as his life creed to reconcile the conflicts between his family and the village and dedicate his life to the village.

As someone who knew Uchiha Shisui's fate, Yayoi was not optimistic about his character.

……

After two days and one night of hard work, the two of them had crossed the border of the Kingdom of Wind and entered the interior of the Kingdom of Wind.

The Kingdom of Wind is mostly a vast desert area with a lack of food and water.

Therefore, although the border of the Kingdom of Wind is long, it only needs to set up border posts and station ninjas at key water sources and oases to prevent most foreign forces from crossing the border.

Of course, for those advanced ninjas who are well prepared, the sentinel can play a very small role.

As soon as they entered the Kingdom of Wind, Yayoi and Shisui noticed something was wrong.

"No, why are there so few border guard ninjas arranged by Sunagakure at these border posts?"

Due to long-term ANBU missions, Uchiha Shisui, who had crossed the border of the Land of Wind many times, soon discovered something was wrong.

Even a layman like Yayoi found some clues.

There are too few ninjas stationed at these border outposts!

Take Konoha as a comparison. Even though the Country of Fire needs to garrison more border posts, Konoha also has at least three squads stationed at each post, that is, nine ninjas, for duty rotation and to deal with some Emergencies.

Among the border outposts of the Sand Ninjas, most of them only have one squad, that is, three ninjas!

Without being able to take turns, one can imagine the mental state and intensity of these ninjas' duty.

With this level of security force alone, not to mention high-level ninjas like Yayoi and Shisui, they might not even be able to catch civilians crossing the border.

This kind of redeployment of most border guards will generally only happen in one situation, and that is:

Large-scale military operations occurring within the country or on other borders!
