Chat group from Naruto

The border between the Kingdom of Tang and the Kingdom of Fire.

The two countries are separated by a narrow mountain range, and the mountains form a natural dividing line.

For ordinary people, this mountain range can be called an insurmountable chasm, but for ninjas, it is the most suitable battlefield.

Since the Kingdom of Clouds began its massive invasion, at least two-digit battles have occurred every day in this mountain range.

Most of the battles were small in scale, with only a few to a dozen people on both sides.

On the one hand, the ninja profession is good at killing with one strike, but at the same time, most ninjas pay more attention to saving lives.

This is especially true for the elite who have experienced the war and survived.

This resulted in that, except for a few fledgling rookies, the Kumo ninja and Konoha fought lively, but in fact the casualty ratio between the two sides was very low.

Often when one party sees something is wrong, they will immediately choose to escape.

Unless it is a decisive battle involving hundreds or even thousands of people, the number of casualties will remain at a level that both sides can bear.

However, since a few days ago, the casualties on both sides, whether it was Kumo ninja or Konoha, suddenly became higher.

According to the information from the survivors, a third-party force of unknown origin appeared on the battlefield of Yuno Country.

But most of the casualties were not actually caused by this "mysterious third party."

It's because after fighting with him, when his physical strength and chakra were exhausted, he happened to encounter the enemy and couldn't even escape.

Although this kind of thing is not frequent, it always happens several times every day.

Accumulated over and over again, the number of casualties became much higher than expected.

"Have you found out the other party's identity and purpose?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had just taken over the defense, looked solemnly and looked at Kakashi Hatake, who was providing information.

As Sarutobi Hiruzen, he went to the front line in person, so naturally he couldn't just be a "general".

In the absence of the Fourth Hokage coming to the front line in person, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Third Hokage, must obtain command of the frontline battlefield.

Correspondingly, in terms of intelligence, the ANBU led by Hatake Kakashi was in charge.

To some extent, this is also a continuation of Konoha's power struggle.

The third generation had no complaints about this, at least on the surface, and simply accepted Namikaze Minato's arrangement.

"The enemy's identity and purpose are unknown, but he does not seem to have any murderous intention towards us. In the past five days, a total of 41 ninja teams and three ANBU teams have met and fought with this force. Without exception, they were all defeated. However, The enemy did not kill anyone, but after defeating our people, they let them go. The reason why some people died was because they were unlucky enough to encounter the Kumo ninja after being overly exhausted in terms of physical strength and chakra."

Kakashi briefly explained the information while taking out a scroll and spreading it on the table.

On the scroll is a hand-painted portrait. The person in the portrait is covered in black robes. Even his head is covered with a hood, and his face cannot be seen.

The weapon in the hand of the figure is a huge scythe, and there is a capital "F" printed on the forehead of the hood.

It is the attire of the famous "FFF Group".

Just listen to Kakashi continue to introduce: "The other party calls itself the 'FFF Group', and its purpose is to fight with ninjas to sharpen themselves. As long as they find their whereabouts, whether it is our Konoha ninjas, Kumo ninjas, or even accidentally entering Tang ninjas on the battlefield will be forced to fight until they are exhausted."

"FFF group? When did such an organization appear in the ninja world?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a headache and looked at Kakashi suspiciously: "Isn't your name just made up randomly?"

"Sandaime-sama, please don't confuse our Anbu and Danzo's roots!"

When Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, Kakashi seemed a little angry. He paused and said in a stiff tone: "Akimichi Tingza also encountered the enemies of the 'FFF Group' yesterday. If the Third Generation doesn't believe me, you can ask Ding Zuo goes to seek confirmation."

Kakashi is the fourth generation's direct descendant, and he and the third generation are not of the same mind, but Akimichi Dingza is someone whom the third generation can absolutely trust.

Kakashi's meaning is also very clear. Since you can't trust me, then ask your people.

"Sorry, Kakashi."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was a little embarrassed to be contradicted like this by a junior, but he also knew the reason in his heart.

Because of Danzo's defection, his "old friends" are now labeled as "unreliable".

This was a huge blow to the third generation old man.

In order to prove his feelings and belonging to Konoha, the third generation took the initiative to fight and went to the front line.

He even got a lot of favors for this, and invited many family ninjas from the ninja clan, including Ino Shiga Die, to come forward to help.

To put it bluntly, he is different from Danzo who only wants to be Hokage.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen also has a strong desire for power, he values ​​"fame" more than "profit".

In order to prevent his reputation from being tainted by Danzo's defection, Sarutobi Hiruzen changed his normal behavior and put down his old capital to support the fourth generation.

However, due to the huge changes, the people of the fourth generation did not believe him at all and always felt that the old man must have some conspiracy.

That's the mentality of Kakashi.

He brought the Anbu to the front line, and while investigating the intelligence of the Kumo ninja, almost half of his energy was spent on tracking Sarutobi Hiruzen to prevent him from stabbing him in the back.

Originally, no one in Konoha would doubt that the Third Hokage would do anything that would harm the overall interests of Konoha.

But since Danzo can defect, what else can't happen?

You, the third generation, are very close to that guy Danzo.

This kind of statement is especially popular among the Uchiha clan.

Kakashi, who recently took the initiative to remove his Sharingan and became closer to the Uchiha clan, was also deeply affected.

"cough……"

The third generation looked at Kakashi who looked distrustful, couldn't help coughing slightly, and asked: "Is there any more information about this FFF group?"

"Although the members of the FFF group have hidden their appearance, from their body shape, special abilities and other characteristics, it can be determined that the organization has no less than five people. The most common one is a man of unknown age and about 1.8 meters tall. Between 1.8 and [-] meters tall, he is good at illusions and can even hit the Uchiha clan jounin who has activated the three magatama sharingan eyes with just one look."

Kakashi's face suddenly turned weird when he was talking: "There is also a man about 1.6 meters tall who is good at using the Five Elements Escape Technique. He once used a move against the contemporary pig, deer, and butterfly trio. A ninjutsu called 'Five Release-Dalian Dan no Jutsu'."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was drinking tea when he heard Kakashi's last words. Suddenly, all the tea sprayed onto Kakashi's face.

"Pfft...what technique did you just say?!"
