Chapter 566 The Value of Mu Yue's Intelligence
"The troops have begun to gather at the 11th training ground." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
Because the incident happened suddenly, this time they urgently assembled a unit, and in order to be quick, they even skipped many prescribed procedures.
Just a few minutes before Mu Yue entered the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen was actually still in a high-level meeting.
The defeat of the Konoha troops in the Land of Grass was too sudden. Not long ago, they once drove the Iwagakure troops to the border of the Land of Earth, but suddenly the two levels reversed.
The top leaders of Konoha had no time to find the reason for the defeat, and quickly decided at the meeting to form a support force to go to the Land of Grass, which was very efficient.
There is no way, the efficiency is not high. If the Land of Grass troops are completely exhausted, then the northwest of the Land of Fire will be in danger.
The Iwagakure ninja troops can directly enter the Land of Fire from the border between the Land of Grass and the Land of Fire.
At that time, not only will it be difficult to explain to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, but Konoha's reputation in the Land of Fire will also be affected, and it may even pose a threat to Konoha.
You should know that the Iwagakure ninja unit in the Land of Grass has two Jinchūriki who can completely transform into tailed beasts.
This time, even Shimura Danzo, who likes to contradict Sarutobi Hiruzen, did not cause trouble. He just had a little dispute with Sarutobi Hiruzen over the selection of commanders.
At first, Shimura Danzo wanted Orochimaru stationed in the Land of Hot Springs to take part of the ninja troops directly to the Land of Grass, and then Konoha would send some people.
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought this was robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Recently, Kumogakure has not caused much trouble, but Sarutobi Hiruzen does not believe that Kumogakure is really honest.
If the news of Konoha's defeat spreads, Kumogakure will definitely be unable to bear the loneliness and want to test it. At that time, Orochimaru will not be there, and the defense line of the Land of Hot Springs will be in danger again.
So Sarutobi Hiruzen rejected Shimura Danzo cleanly and told him his own arrangement, that is, Mu Yue will serve as the commander of the support force.
Holding the idea that Mu Yue is also one of his own, and the situation is indeed critical, Shimura Danzo did not continue to fight for opportunities for Orochimaru.
"Are my disciples on the list of the support team?" Mu Yue thought for a while and asked.
The situation in the ninja world is becoming more and more chaotic now, and Mu Yue thinks it will be safer for his disciples to stay with him.
Although Konoha is safe, it is a war period now. With the strength of Obito and others, Sarutobi Hiruzen can't let them stay idle all the time, which is a waste of combat power.
Now Obito and others are considered elite among the jonin. There are not many such level of combat power even in the five major ninja villages.
Rather than leaving Obito and others in Konoha and then being pitted by Uchiha Madara on a mission, it is better to take them directly to the battlefield.
Although the battlefield is dangerous, at least Mu Yue is there to back them up.
Even if they can't win, Mu Yue can take them away.
"All are here." Sarutobi Hiruzen replied.
Considering the severe situation on the battlefield of the Land of Grass, the strength of the support team cannot be weak, otherwise they will be sent away.
And Kakashi and others are not only excellent in strength, but also have a special relationship with Mu Yue. They are the best candidates for the jonin level of the support team.
Of course, if Mu Yue wants Kakashi and others to stay in Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen will agree.
Compared with Kakashi and the others, Mu Yue is definitely more important. It's okay for the commander to have some small privileges.
Moreover, Kakashi and the others can stay in Konoha as an elite team and can also shine for Konoha.
"After the troops are assembled, I will immediately take the troops to the Land of Grass." Mu Yue nodded and prepared to leave the Hokage's office.
In addition to the disciples, he had no other special requests.
"These are the information about the battlefield of the Land of Grass. You must take a look when you have time on the way." Sarutobi Hiruzen handed Mu Yue a scroll.
There was not much time left for them. It was too time-consuming to explain the information about the battlefield of the Land of Grass in detail, so Sarutobi Hiruzen just briefly talked about it.
Mu Yue took the scroll and bowed slightly and turned to leave.
"Please, Mu Yue." Sarutobi Hiruzen watched Mu Yue leave.
If they lose again, the situation in Konoha will be bad.
...
After leaving the Hokage's office, Mu Yue rushed to the 11th training ground.
When Mu Yue arrived at the training ground, he saw a small number of ninja troops.
In fact, the assembling of troops and notifying Mu Yue were done at about the same time, but it took some time for Sarutobi Hiruzen to tell Mu Yue about the intelligence.
"Commander Mu Yue, I am Meicun Yejuan, the deputy commander of the troops. At present, the troops have assembled more than 100 ninjas, and 15 jonins and 15 special jonins have all arrived." Meicun Yejuan reported to Mu Yue.
Mu Yue nodded slightly. The jonins must have been notified first, and the jonins were also faster.
"Teacher Mu Yue, I was just wondering if you would be the commander. I guess your ability is pretty good." Obito smiled and greeted Mu Yue.
As soon as Mu Yue left, the communication of the jonin's assembly was transmitted to them. Except for Yamato, the others arrived at the 11th training ground according to the instructions.
Kakashi glanced at Obito lightly. He felt that there was no need to guess.
How could there be such a coincidence? Mu Yue had just arrived at the Hokage Building and was urgently summoned here. Obviously, Mu Yue was given a more important task.
Mu Yue smiled in response and looked at the jonins at the scene.
Among the fifteen jonins, five were his disciples, and Mu Yue basically knew the remaining ten jonins. After all, the jonin circle in Konoha was not large.
There are Nara Suzaku and Aburame Shiki who went to the Land of Grass with Mozuki to attack the Grass Ninja Village. There are also Hyuga Hizashi who once fought side by side on the Kirigakure battlefield, and Akimichi who met at the Jonin Conference through Namikaze Minato. Tangdong.
Most of the official jounin are ninjas from various ninja clans, and the majority of jounin in particular are ordinary ninjas.
While Mu Yue looked at them, the ninjas also looked at Mu Yue.
Except for the jounin who had an important position in the ninja army, the other ninjas did not know what was going on, and they did not expect that the commander would be the young and junior Mu Yue.
"Currently, apart from the senior officials and Lady Tsunade, the only one left in the village who is most qualified to lead the ninja force is Commanding Mu Yue." Nara Suzaku thought in his mind.
If Nara Shikaku was in Konoha, he could still barely compete. Although Nara Shikaku was not strong, he had outstanding intelligence and would have the support of the Akimichi and Yamanaka clans.
Now that Ino Shikacho is not in Konoha, not even Namikaze Minato, who is as famous as Mu Yue, is not here. Mu Yue is the most suitable candidate.
"I really didn't expect that just after becoming a jounin, I would become the commander of the army." Akimichi Tōtō was surprised by Mu Yue's growth rate.
If he remembered correctly, it seemed that more than two years had passed since Mu Yue became a jounin.
"It's really reassuring to have Mu Yue as the commander." Hinata Hizashi smiled at Mu Yue.
He is the sensing captain of the support force this time, and Mu Yue knew that Mu Yue was the commander before he came.
Hinata Hizashi didn't think this was inappropriate. Although Mu Yue had only been a jounin for a short time, in terms of merit, he was ahead of many jounin who were more than ten years old.
Mu Yue quietly watched the ninja troops gathering quickly without speaking.
Obito and other disciples also knew that this was a serious occasion, so except when Mu Yue first arrived, they did not speak again and stood quietly in the front row of the ninja troops.
After waiting for the ninja troops to arrive, Mu Yue spoke.
"Konoha's ninja troops in the Land of Grass were defeated not long ago."
Mu Yue's words were like throwing a bomb into the calm water, instantly making most of the ninjas in the ninja army uneasy.
Some people looked shocked, surprised that there was no sign of the defeat of the Kingdom of Grass. Some people showed worried expressions, worried about their relatives or friends who had gone to the battlefield.
"Something happened over there in the Land of Grass! Uncle Toad and Minato-sensei seem to be in the ninja troops there." Obito immediately thought of Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato, and couldn't help but feel worried.
Although Jiraiya liked to brag and was always misbehaving, he was pretty good to him, not to mention Namikaze Minato, who was Obito's second most respected and favorite teacher.
"They should be fine," Kakashi said, shaking his head softly.
According to future information, Namikaze Minato died after becoming Hokage, and Jiraiya died from the evil Akatsuki organization when Uzumaki Naruto was a teenager.
Although the future will definitely change because of their actions, such as Yamato becoming Muyue's disciple.
However, they haven't taken much action yet, so it stands to reason that they can't have much impact on the ninja world.
Kakashi was more worried about Muyue than Namikaze Minato and the others.
This defeat came so suddenly that even people like Kakashi, who paid close attention to the situation in the ninja world, did not notice any signs.
In his impression, Konoha's troops should have a great advantage in the Country of Grass.
Since the Iwagakure troops could suddenly turn a big disadvantage into an advantage, they must have some powerful means. Maybe it was the war that killed Mu Yue.
"It's still too weak now." Kakashi sighed in his heart. With their current strength, only Metkai could barely help Muyue.
Although they have practiced very hard, they still have too little time to practice. After all, most of them are only eleven years old. In peacetime, they have not graduated from Ninja School.
"I hope I can learn Yang Seal before that day comes."
If he can master the Yang Seal, even if there is no progress in other abilities, Kakashi's actual combat power will still rise sharply.
Shisui's expression was solemn, he and Kakashi had similar conjectures.
"The time is still too short."
Compared to Kakashi and the others, Shisui is a little younger, even under ten years old now.
Mu Yue did not give the ninjas much time to react, and quickly said:
"Next, our mission is to support the Grass Country ninja troops and prevent the Iwagakure ninja troops from entering the Fire Country."
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not ask Mu Yue to defeat the Iwagakure ninja troops. His request was to defend well and prevent Iwagakure from invading the Fire Country.
As long as Iwagakure is not allowed to break through the defense line and enter the Fire Country, Mu Yue will have completed her mission.
If Mu Yue repelled the Iwagakure troops and severely damaged the Iwagakure troops, that would be an additional achievement.
"Let's go!" About a minute later, Mu Yue glanced at all the ninjas in the army with a serious look and shouted.
No one raised any questions or complained, and they all silently followed Mu Yue as she quickly left Konoha and rushed to the Country of Grass.
For a ninja, this is actually not too outrageous.
When there is an urgent task that needs to be performed, it is always given a task goal and then started.
This time, it can be regarded as a collective emergency mission for a large number of people.
Moreover, Konoha's village-loving education is going very well, and the ninjas have a high sense of responsibility for protecting the village.
When they heard that Iwagakure might invade, many ninjas thought that they must keep Iwagakure out of the Land of Fire and not allow Iwagakure to have the opportunity to destroy Konoha.
On the way, Mu Yue read the information given to him by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
If Mu Yue was moving at full speed, he would definitely not be able to read the information while running.
But if he was moving with the ninja troops, then Mu Yue would have the space to run and read.
After all, the speed of the ninja troops was not fast for him.
"Sarutobi Hiroshi betrayed and assassinated Jiraiya, showing similar abilities to the Iwagakure assassination team." Looking at such information, Mu Yue showed a thoughtful expression.
In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen's talk was relatively brief, only briefly talking about the Iwagakure assassination team, and did not mention Sarutobi Hiroshi's betrayal and attack.
When Mu Yue first heard Sarutobi Hiruzen talk about it, he felt that it was White Zetsu. After looking at the detailed war information, Mu Yue would not say 100%, but there was a 98% chance that it was White Zetsu who was causing trouble.
The ninjutsu that quickly eliminates the aura is the ephemeral jutsu, and the reason why Hiromichi Sarutobi rebelled is that he is not Hiromichi Sarutobi himself, but a White Zetsu who used the disguise technique.
The strength of ordinary White Zetsu is not strong. If there is intelligence, a stronger Chunin can kill White Zetsu.
The strength of White Zetsu lies in the skill configuration, and White Zetsu's skills can only be described as high-end.
The disguise technique is the most powerful transformation technique in the entire Naruto, which can imitate the essence of ninjas - chakra.
And the ephemeral jutsu is the top stealth movement ninjutsu, which can merge with the earth, eliminate all auras and move at high speed.
The combination of these two skills makes White Zetsu the strongest intelligence ninja in the ninja world, and also an assassin that is difficult to guard against on the battlefield.
When White Zetsu took action, Mu Yue felt that it was normal for Jiraiya to lose. White Zetsu's trouble at the end of the third war was somewhat of a dimensionality reduction attack.
You must know that the 80,000 ninja coalition forces with a large number of strong men in the fourth war were all overwhelmed by White Zetsu, not to mention Jiraiya's ninja troops.
"But for me, this is not a big trouble." Mu Yue thought in his heart.
Mu Yue has an inconspicuous but very powerful skill, that is the identification technique.
No matter how similar the White Zetsu's disguise is, the identification technique will reveal everything as soon as the skill is used.
The disadvantage of the identification technique is that Mu Yue has to see it before he can use it. So far, Mu Yue has not seen a White Zetsu who dares to appear in front of him.
As long as the White Zetsu dares to play undercover games in his ninja unit, Mu Yue will let them know what intelligence is.
Intelligence Jiraiya only exists in theory, but Mu Yue really has an identification technique that can see through chakra and skills.
