[Comprehensive] Mirror of Death and Life

After I came back from the beach, I immediately asked a member of my tribe to investigate something, and after giving orders like this, I turned around and went to Asako Hagoromo's tent.She was biting her lower lip and staring at the map, looking at her concentrated expression, like a flower blooming on an ordinary scroll paper.

"What are you looking at?" Most of the current maps are very simple, even this kind of war map: there are only a few national borders, and at most the locations of important ninja families are marked. I haven't seen it here. It's just that after over and over again, it's clearer where the Zhaowu clan is, and there's nothing else to see.

"It's nothing." Asako Hagoromo raised her head, loosened her lips and smiled at me, "I was thinking about how to catch Asagiri by surprise."

I frowned: "I haven't found out the channel for the news to leak, and now is not the time for a sneak attack."

"We can't wait like this forever, it's too passive."

"...Why don't you join forces with the ninjas from Uzumaki?"

"They?" Asako Hagoromo showed undisguised contempt, "The Uzumaki clan is not worth mentioning except for the powerful sealing technique. But in a frontal war, the sealing technique is useless at all. Could it be that even the combination of Yuyi and Uchiha can't compete against a A family hiding in hiding?" She was obviously worried about the defeat at the hands of the Asagiri Clan, and she didn't want to admit that their family hiding their heads and tails on the island could be compared to the Yuyi Clan.

In fact, I still don't know exactly what the limit of the blood inheritance of the Yuyi clan is. I think of Yoko Yuko used some means to burst towering ancient trees many years ago. I still can't forget that kind of massive attack method.

Speaking of mystery, the Yuyi Clan is not too shy, or is it just a unique attack method of Yuko Yoko, and has nothing to do with the rest of the Yuyi Clan?

"Look, the Chaowu Clan's island is surrounded by the sea, and two of them have sharp and steep rock walls, making it difficult to go ashore. On the other two sides, one side is a swamp, and the other side is the main entrance and exit, which is heavily guarded. "Hagoromo Asako's slender and white fingers moved on the map, pointing to me.

"Have you already found someone to investigate? How many troops are there?" I looked at the area marked in red, which is located in the northeast of the island, facing the country of water, and the side facing us is the swamp that Hagoromomoko said. .

"There are about three people on guard, and another four people will patrol every quarter of an hour. In addition to these, they have built a watchtower on the inner side, and there are always people guarding it."

"Your people are quite clear about the detection." That feeling of something wrong came again, it disturbed my thoughts and attracted all my attention, so I casually praised Asako Hagoromo's words.

She didn't seem to notice that I was absent-minded, she lowered her head and stared intently at the map and tapped on the dark swamp area: "The only chance is from here. The raid is best done on a rainy day, as the Zhaowu clan is proud of it." It will be difficult to use the atomization technique, even if you are weak, you can escape with more certainty."

Her last words split the fog in my heart like lightning, revealing a trace of clues. I quickly grabbed the tail, organized the words in my mind and said tentatively: "There was such a heavy rain a few days ago, It’s been sunny these few days, so why don’t you say it’s going to happen?”

"Don't worry, I have a clan member who is good at predicting the weather. He told me that there will be a heavy rain the day after tomorrow. We can't delay any longer. We must take the lead before Asagiri attacks. This time, with the help of the Uchiha clan, it will surely It went much smoother." Asako Hagoromo raised her head and looked at me, "What do you think?"

I smiled at her: "Aren't you going to use that rocky island as a transit point this time?"

Her clear emerald eyes flickered, and she smiled at me: "With you here, what transfer station do I need?"

When I got back to the tent, it was already past dinner time. I didn’t expect that it would take so much time just to discuss a rough action plan. Fortunately, some members of the clan saved dinner for me.Dinner is a few rice balls and a grilled fish, which is very simple but much better than Bing Liang Wan. The rice balls and fish were already cold when I started eating, especially the sea fish that was simply grilled without any seasoning, and now it’s cold The fishy smell is heavier.I have always hated the smell of fish, and today I couldn’t eat it even if I was pretending to be something. I put my hands down after a few bites, staring at the rice balls and grilled fish that were more than half bitten in a daze.

When Uchiha Kotaro lifted the curtain and came in, he saw me sitting there silently, staring at the food bitterly, he was shocked: "Captain, why don't you light the lamp?"

Only then did I notice that it was completely dark outside, and the day passed so quickly.

After lighting the candle, I asked him, "Is there any result?"

Kotaro nodded: "I got it clear, the Yuyi clan had never had any conflicts with Asagiri before this mission."

"you sure?"

"Of course, I also specifically asked the clan with Ninja Hawk. The existing information shows that the Chaogiri clan seldom gets involved in missions on the mainland, only those two times..."

"In the end, I hit me twice." I shook my head and couldn't help laughing, "What a coincidence." No wonder I couldn't find an enemy when I wanted to avenge Uncle Shi and Captain Zhizhi.But the problem now is-

"Sure enough, Asako Hagoromo is lying." I propped my chin and muttered to myself.

Unexpectedly, Heng Taro was taken aback: "What does this mean?"

I beckoned him to sit next to me, listened to make sure there was no one else around the tent, then whispered in his ear: "Hagoromo Asako lied, they were definitely not a sneak attack plan before we came Slashed in half, and was surrounded by Chaowu."

Heng Taro frowned, puzzled: "There is nothing to lie about, we are allies now, the Yuyi clan will not seek their own death like this."

I think he still can’t believe it, so he simply stated the problems he found: “First, Yuyi claimed that they were planning to go to the island of the Zhaowu clan through that small island to sneak attack on the island before we arrived, but the news leaked and basically the entire army Annihilation, but is a normal sneak attack really a waste of time to build a transfer station? A sneak attack is to seize the opportunity to kill with one blow, and anyone with experience knows that the longer the sneak attack, the greater the possibility of failure."

"Secondly, it was raining heavily on the day of their sneak attack, and I found out that it started falling the night before. Under such a heavy rain, Chaogiri couldn't use the atomization technique, and Yuyi had obviously never been in contact with Chaogiri before. Clan, how do they know about the mysterious atomization technique.” The information passed on by Uncle Zhizhi in that mission is still a top-level secret in the clan, and this kind of news about the blood succession limit is more known to ninjas besides the rest of the clan. The less the better.

"Thirdly, just now I discussed the sneak attack plan with Asako Yuki. She is very clear about the situation of the entrance and exit of the Asagiri clan's island. The distribution of troops is so clear? It is difficult for Uchiha to do it."

"The fourth and last point is the names engraved on the two corpses. It's normal to have my name. We have an old enmity with Asagiri, but Yuyi, this is the first time that the two clans have faced each other in this mission. According to Yuyi's statement, Asagiri won a complete victory in the first encounter, why should they hate Yuyi Asako like this? They should still be treated the same as me."

"So..." Kotaro swallowed.

"So they lied." I sneered, "It's definitely not a sneak attack during the sneak attack. Yu Yi Asako leads the team personally, and even if she sacrifices three clansmen in the follow-up rescue mission, she will be brought back. There is also the hatred of the Chaogiri clan." , She hid something very important. Before I figure it out, I don’t want to act rashly, Uchiha is not interested in being used as a weapon by other families.”

"What are you going to do?"

"Go to the country of Uzumaki overnight and contact the person in charge of the Uzumaki clan." I pulled out a blank scroll and began to write on it, "We invite them to participate in the battle alone in the name of Uchiha, and Asako Hagoromo doesn't want to involve the Uzumaki clan , we are not as good as she wants, not to mention that this is the request of the fire country daimyo, we will not be punished if we make a mistake. Then, I want to see what the hell she is doing."

I stopped writing to check the content, and wrote an eloquent article asking for the help of the Uzumaki clan. The words were sincere and well-phrased, and it was almost done. I signed my name at the end with a swipe of the pen.

Seal the scroll and hand it to Kotaro. I asked him to leave the camp quietly, so as not to attract the attention of others, especially the ninjas of the Yuyi clan. The camp is not far from Uzumaki, and one day and one night is enough time for adult ninjas to go back and forth at full speed. .

The next day was sunny, I pretended I didn’t notice anything and stayed in Asako Hagoromo’s tent all day, discussing with her tomorrow’s actions and perfecting the sneak attack plan.Even if she asked Uchiha to take the lead, I didn't have much objection. I meant to compromise after a little struggle. Seeing her secretly relieved, I smiled: It doesn't matter who is the cannon fodder for the sneak attack that is destined not to be carried out. It's important, it's impossible anyway.

"What are you laughing at?" Asako Hagoromo asked me with a smile.

I glanced at her, thought for a while or shook my head without explaining, no need to explain or question, she will understand soon.

Sure enough, before the smoke from the dinner rose, Kotaro and the ninjas from the Uzumaki Kingdom stepped into the camp under the golden sunset. The Uzumaki clan was very interesting, and the dozen or so ninjas even included Uzumaki Sakura, the daughter of their patriarch.

Hagoromo Asako and I walked out of the tent when we heard the commotion outside. Compared with my relaxation, Hagoromo Asako's expression changed instantly.For a second, she was still laughing with me, but when she saw the Uzumaki Clan's emblem—a circle of swirling lines—the moment she saw it, her smile froze on her face.

I walked up quickly, thanked Uzumaki Sakura for their help, let Kotaro set up camp with his new friends, and asked other Uchihas to help them.

When I turned to Hagoromo Asako again, her face was beyond description. She stared at me, her voice seemed to be squeezed out of her throat: "Did you ask them to come here?"

I nodded, and said quite confidently: "An extra helper will add a layer of guarantee. With the Uzumaki clan joining, the plan to sneak attack on Chaogiri will be smoother."
