After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

In the Land of Water, on the majestic Mount Rishiri.

Shimura Maki and Yue Guangye were sitting there, listening quietly to their subordinates' reports.

"Master Maki, Master Ya, we have discovered the whereabouts of the Three-Tails!" The ninja who had been carefully trained during this period half-knelt on the ground respectfully, and said with a hint of urgency in his voice.

Shimura Maki was sitting leisurely on a wooden stool with his feet on the table. Hearing this, he quickly retracted his feet. His expression became extremely serious. He stared at the ninja closely and asked in a deep voice, "Is the news true?"

"It's true. I saw it with my own eyes." The ninja seemed to recall some terrible scene and said with lingering fear, "That huge body and turtle-like appearance, there is no doubt about it."

"Deliver this scroll to Kojiro immediately, and I will give you credit for this achievement."

Shimura Maki nodded slightly, then quickly picked up a scroll, wrote dozens of words on it in a flamboyant manner, quickly made two seals with his hands, and then handed the scroll to the subordinate.

"Yes!" A look of joy appeared on the subordinate's face. You know, his current strength has reached a bottleneck. If he can obtain more powerful ninjutsu, perhaps he will have the opportunity to become a core member here.

At this time in the Hidden Mist Village, many ninjas were withdrawn due to the war.

As the Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura has many confidants who occupy good departments in the village. They are working hard to rid the village of blood mist and are shedding their blood on this road.

"Watanabe Yusuke of Konoha..."

Yagura Karuta muttered silently in his heart. He knew very well how powerful the Third Raikage was. The reason why the Third Mizukage passed away was not only because of his advanced age, but more because of the battle with the Third Raikage a few years ago because of the incident in the Daimyo Mansion.

In that battle, the Third Mizukage almost drained all of his body's functions, but even when the Third Mizukage tried his best, the Third Raikage was still able to handle it with ease.

As a result, the Third Mizukage was defeated by the Third Raikage. After the war, he was subjected to two years of uninterrupted treatment. Eventually, he left this world. Therefore, the strength of the Third Raikage was obvious to the entire Mist Village.

However, such a powerful existence was actually defeated by a senior ninja in a one-on-one situation.

Although it is almost certain that Watanabe Yusuke will become the next Hokage, it will always seem unbelievable as long as he has not officially taken on the title of Hokage.

Moreover, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa of the Sand Village was also defeated by him, and the Sand Village also lost a lot of ninjas.

Karuju Yagura couldn't help but fall into deep conflict. Was it right or wrong to send troops at this time?

Just as he was lost in endless contemplation, an Anbu suddenly opened the door of his office in a hurry, half-knelt down in front of him, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Mizukage!"

Karuju Yagura stared at him expressionlessly and said coldly, "Speak."

"The frontline troops encountered Konoha's ninja army at sea. Now our invasion has failed, and we have retreated to several islands."

The ninja didn't even dare to raise his head, and continued tremblingly, "And Konoha's Watanabe Yusuke also showed up."

For a moment, the whole office was silent, and the Anbu didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear of angering Karatachi Yagura.

Karatachi Yagura's expression kept changing. He pondered for a moment, then knocked on the table lightly. Then several Anbu members came in one after another.

"Notify Elder Yuanshi and all the elders to come to my side for an emergency meeting."

"Yes."

Several Anbu left quickly as if they were facing a great enemy. Ever since Yagura Karatachi became the Mizukage, his aura had changed drastically.

As a result, the subordinates who had always followed him did not dare to show the slightest hesitation or disrespect in their words.

"Fourth Hokage, it's useless to say more now. Konoha was able to get the news so quickly, and even transferred Watanabe Yusuke from the battlefield in the Land of Lightning. This can only mean that our top leaders may have been infiltrated by spies."

Master Yuan's tiger-like sharp eyes kept scanning every person present.

You know, anyone who can sneak around here is a smart person, and it is almost impossible to catch the spy without substantial evidence.

"No, there may be another possibility. That is, we haven't made such a big move for decades. Konoha's spies have noticed the clues, so they are on high alert."

The second elder, who was sitting next to the Yuan Master, gently stroked his white beard and spoke slowly.

"First, send reinforcements to the front line and send the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to attack Konoha's rear. Elder Yuanshi, I'm leaving the village in your hands."

After some thought, Goju Yagura made a series of arrangements and then solemnly asked Master Yuan for help.

"Fourth generation, are you planning to go to the battlefield in person?" Master Yuan looked at him with a little surprise.

Although they have never witnessed Watanabe Yusuke's strength with their own eyes, they have a reference point, that is, the Third Raikage, who makes them afraid to confront him, is not his opponent. At this time, in terms of high-end combat power, perhaps only the Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karuta can compete with him.

"Yes, we must not let the first battle of the Mist Ninja reappearing in front of the world end in failure. As for spies, they must be investigated intensively. During this period, any ninja who has received a mission to leave the village must not be let go."

Kuju Yakura hardened his heart and said, "It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go by mistake."

"I understand, Fourth Hokage. It is best to be cautious. The village cannot afford to lose another Mizukage right now."

He really didn't have much confidence in the Fourth Mizukage and was just giving him a reminder.

On the vast sea, there were several islands that looked fairly large, and dozens of ships collected by Konoha were floating there.

Yusuke had arrived at the border town a few days ago and successfully met up with 2000 ninjas who had come from Konoha. Together with the 1000 ninjas he brought from the battlefield in the Land of Lightning, a total of 3000 ninjas advanced towards the Land of Water together. Among them, many ninjas were proficient in water and lightning jutsu.

Soon, they encountered the Mist Ninja who were preparing to invade the Land of Fire. Setting up the battlefield on the sea was obviously not a wise move.

Both sides used ninjutsu to attack the ship from a long distance. It didn't take long before the distance between the two sides became farther and farther. This first encounter ended with almost no casualties.

At this time, the people on the Konoha side found several islands. They all boarded the islands. Some leaned under the trees, closed their eyes and rested, taking the time to recover their strength. Some ninjas sat together in groups of two or three to rest.

The breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and the waves beat against the edge of the island, making waves, as if playing music for this temporary tranquility.
