The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the stars are twinkling.

In Konoha, in an extremely inconspicuous forest.

The two ninjas were wearing masks and their eyes were full of vigilance as they scanned every corner of the forest.

In the woods, under the thickest tree, there is a hidden scene with a different world.

Two middle-aged men and women in their forties or fifties had their eyes covered with cloth and their limbs were firmly fixed to the cold iron frame.

Their bodies were plugged with tubes flowing with green liquid. These tubes led to the other side and were connected to a huge, strange-looking, unknown container.

Next to the container, two people in white coats were staring at the delicate container intently. Perhaps because they were sure that there was no danger at the moment, they were also chatting casually on the side.

The middle-aged men and women on the iron frame had their hands trembling slightly from time to time.

However, this could just be an unconscious twitch. Most of the time, they didn't move, even a little bit.

......

Above the calm sea, the Mist Ninjas were not at all calm in their hearts.

As Karutagi Yagura listened to several Anbu half-kneeling on the ground describing the situation in detail, his eyes almost spewed out raging anger.

They never expected that at this critical juncture of the stalemate between the two sides, Youjie would dare to go around to their rear and launch a surprise attack on their village.

Moreover, Yusuke also became the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, which was undoubtedly the heaviest blow to Karatachi Yagura.

"What's the current situation in the village?" asked Goju Yagura with a gloomy face.

"The elder Yuanshi has activated the first-level alert state and urgently recalled the ninjas who were on missions outside. However, the casualties are extremely heavy at present, and I am afraid it will be difficult to withstand the next attack from Watanabe Yusuke." One of the Anbu responded hurriedly.

"Can't the rhino dog be stopped?" Goji Yagura rubbed his aching temple, feeling very annoyed.

"After all, Vulpix cannot be completely controlled. If its full power is released, we may have to resist Vulpix's loss of control."

The Anbu smiled helplessly and said that the master had carefully considered all the available combat forces. The only safer way was to let Yagura Karatachi lead the troops back and leave some people to continue confronting the Konoha army.

"Lord Mizukage, let's retreat first." The elite jonin standing next to Karatachi Yagura couldn't help but speak up and persuade him.

"If we fight against Konoha's large army at this moment, how long will it take us to eliminate them?" After pondering for a moment, Karuta Yagura turned to look at the staff member next to him.

"Mr. Mizukage, since Yusuke Watanabe of Konoha is not here, we can definitely launch an attack. However, if we want to set foot in the Land of Fire, I'm afraid our village will be destroyed first."

They have already discovered the island where Konoha camped, and now they understand why Konoha has not launched an attack yet. Or maybe Konoha has no intention of setting foot in the Land of Water, and is just resisting their invasion.

"Hey...select 1000 ninjas and follow me back to the village." Faced with a dilemma, Karuta Yagura finally chose the safety of the Hidden Mist Village and gave the order decisively.

This is a compromise, and it also feels powerless against the strength shown by Yusuke...

"What happened?"

Yusuke sat quietly on the chair, leisurely drinking the tea that Mizunotsuki Yuki had brewed for him, and looked at the Konoha ninja in front of him with a puzzled look on his face.

"Shiho-sama did not elaborate, but simply told me that no matter what happened, Yusuke-sama must return as soon as possible."

Yusuke couldn't help but have a bad feeling in his heart. Aburame Shiho, as his capable assistant,

She knew very well that this was the most critical moment for Yusuke to improve his strength. Unless something extremely important happened, she would never make such a decision easily.

She didn't know that Yusuke's trip was going so smoothly, and it had been three days since he attacked the Hidden Mist Village.

He also received news that Karatachi Yagura had already led many ninjas back to the village.

He really had no reason to stay here any longer, so he nodded slowly, explained everything carefully, and at the cost of chakra, used Flying Thunder God and returned to the camp following the technique he left behind.

......

"When was the news?"

Yusuke had an expressionless face and stared coldly at those people who knew the truth. A few days ago, Aburame Shiho had already sent a team of 100 people back to the village with the consent of Akimichi Norifuze.

"Maybe... maybe it's been seven or eight days." Uchiha Yuno said with a trembling voice.

He remained silent and did not speak. He just walked slowly and aimlessly until he reached a dark place. Then he looked at Qiu Dao Qu Feng with an extremely cold look, "Senior Qu Feng, I'll leave the front line to you."

"I understand. I'll try my best."

Akimichi Norifu couldn't bear the powerful aura emanating from Yusuke. He felt a little regretful at this moment. Was it right or wrong for him to secretly send a message to Sarutobi Hiruzen?

Because from the information he obtained, the first person he suspected was Danzo Shimura.

"At present, I have destroyed most of the Hidden Mist Village. I believe that during this period of time, they will adopt a defensive tactic and will come back immediately after I finish dealing with things."

Yusuke seemed to be talking about something insignificant.

He ignored the shocked people around him, took Aburame Shiho, selected dozens of people, quickly boarded a medium-sized ship, and embarked on the return journey.

After receiving the news, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt very uneasy, but his tightly clenched fists revealed his inner anger.

He still remembered that when he first accepted Yusuke as his apprentice, Yusuke had expressed his concern that his bloodline limit would put his family in danger, but now, this worrying thing has finally happened.

"Shimura Danzo..." He gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words.

"The most urgent task is to find Yusuke's parents immediately. Shikama, send a message back to the village and make Shimura Danzo the number one suspect. You can first deprive him of his identity and put him under house arrest until I return..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said, but before he could finish his words, Nara Shikama smiled bitterly and said, "Hokage-sama, I'm afraid it's too late. Yusuke is probably on his way back to the village."

“……” Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly closed his eyes and remained silent.

The two of them did not mention anything about Yusuke leaving the battlefield without permission and returning to the village.
