The Hand of God Creates the Strongest Hidden Mist Village

Chapter 46 Let's go to the hot springs!

Without a doubt, the Cangnan incident will bring great trouble to the Uchiha clan.

Even if the Uchiha clan is needed in the Hidden Mist battlefield right now, once the war is over, the higher-ups will definitely not let the Uchiha clan go!

Since Shinnosuke Sarutobi died in battle, this matter must be addressed no matter what.

Fugaku's gaze shifted, and his three-tomoe Sharingan suddenly turned to Hyuga Ryosuke.

This guy was the first person to come into contact with Uchiha Makoto, so he must have some information in his mind.

"Issue the order immediately!"

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Fugaku gave the order in a stern voice.

"Do everything in its power to treat the wounded and collect the bodies of the fallen. Notify all frontline ninja units to activate the highest alert level. Strengthen genjutsu defenses and internal checks at all bases, paying particular attention to unfamiliar and suspicious individuals!"

"I will personally report everything that happens here to the Hokage. Furthermore, the Sharingan is the honor and taboo of the Uchiha clan, and no outsider shall be allowed to touch it. As the clan head, I order all Uchiha clan members on the front lines to undergo internal investigation and identity verification from this moment on to prove their innocence, and to fully cooperate with the village in tracking down the Mist Blade Squad!"

"Report any leads immediately, without concealment!"

"yes!"

The clan leader's order elicited a variety of reactions from the Uchiha ninjas present, including anger, resentment, and deep worry.

They all clearly understood that Shinnosuke's death and Makoto Uchiha's appearance would plunge the Uchiha clan into an unprecedented crisis of trust!

Fugaku Uchiha took a deep breath, and the face of Shinnosuke flashed through his mind.

Although Shinnosuke comes from the Hokage lineage and has a complicated relationship with the Uchiha clan, he has never shown favoritism on the battlefield, and his strength and sense of responsibility are admirable.

His death was undoubtedly a huge loss to Konoha.

And that Mistblade squad...

"Order the pursuing troops to expand the search area. Find them alive or dead! Dig out this squad at all costs!"

"Also, Ryosuke Hinata, come with me!"

……

With the retreat signal given, the Mist Ninja Squad did not linger in battle.

With all three large fish killed, the value of the chuunibyou (junior-nin) becomes negligible.

Most importantly, the Cangnan supply station is located in the heart of the Land of Fire, and there are bound to be a large number of Konoha ninja nearby. If the commotion is too big and takes too long, it will inevitably attract other Konoha ninja to come to the rescue.

According to the original withdrawal plan, the Mist Ninja team quickly withdrew.

The Hidden Mist Technique greatly limited the reconnaissance ninjas, and with the help of the Byakugan, they easily evaded the Konoha ninjas who came to their aid from all directions.

"As expected of the Byakugan, no wonder Konoha has always had the upper hand in major battles."

In a thicket dozens of kilometers away from the Cangnan supply station.

Ringo Yuri looked at Ao's eye-patch-wearing eyes with amazement.

They were well aware of how big the incident at the Cangnan supply station had been. At least a hundred Konoha ninjas had been wandering around this area along the way, but they had managed to evade them all and slip out of the inescapable net.

"The three great dojutsu of the ninja world are naturally not to be underestimated; otherwise, why do you think Lord Ao was placed on Konoha's gold-lettered wanted list?"

"Ahem, let's not talk about that."

Qing glanced at Gouju Cheng with a hint of helplessness; this was hardly something to be proud of.

He's not some traitor.

The Hidden Mist is a regular ninja, and the top-level wanted poster is also from a major ninja village. Currently, the two sides are in a state of war and hostility, so there is no problem yet.

But once the war ends...

Unless Kirigakure completely cuts off all communication and contact with Konoha in the future, they'll be constantly running into each other, making things very difficult.

One wrong move and the friendship between the two countries could be destroyed, and the country could become a political sacrifice.

Yes, this is what happened to that beautiful back of a certain Sand Villager.

"But then again, Konoha is nothing special after all."

Ringo Amori snorted, "What large supply station? We took care of it so easily."

"I really don't know what the people on the front lines are doing. I heard they've attacked more than ten times and been stopped by Konoha. There are even signs that Konoha is going to counterattack. It's just ridiculous!"

"Don't let your guard down, Yuri!"

Qing said in a deep voice, "The biggest reason why we were able to successfully take over the Cangnan supply station this time is Captain Cheng."

"If Captain Cheng hadn't infiltrated and created chaos, and attracted the attention of those two Konoha Jonin, we probably wouldn't have been able to destroy the Cangnan Supply Station, let alone break into their gate."

"If you become complacent about your enemy because of a single victory, you will suffer greatly in the future, Yuri."

"Tch, I know, I know."

Seeing that Yuri didn't seem to care at all, Qing couldn't help but frown slightly.

Only those who have truly experienced the battlefield can understand its cruelty. Ninja battles are never simple killings. Those who only know the thrill of battle are often the easiest to die.

"Alright, alright."

Gouju Cheng interrupted Qing's lecture, clapped his hands, and drew everyone's attention.

"We'll discuss the post-war debriefing later; the most important thing now is to withdraw."

He glanced at his teammates. Apart from Ao and Mizuki Yuki, who remained relatively calm, the three little ones all wore varying degrees of excitement, clearly not yet fully recovered from their victory.

"With the disturbance caused by us at the Cangnan supply depot, Konoha will definitely go crazy, and the pursuit and search efforts at the front lines will be unprecedentedly intensified."

"The original evacuation routes may no longer be safe."

"Captain, where are we going?"

Hozuki Mangetsu asked.

Makoto Kuraki pulled out a detailed map of the eastern part of the Land of Fire from his pocket. After scanning it, his gaze finally settled on a place that was some distance away from the Hidden Mist battlefield.

"This is it!"

"The Land of Hot Springs?"

Ringo Ameyuri was somewhat surprised: "Isn't that a neutral country? What are we going there for, to soak in hot springs?"

"That's right, we're going to soak in hot springs."

To everyone's surprise, Gouju Cheng nodded, a smile appearing on his face.

"After playing for so long, my nerves are on edge, and I'm covered in dust. It's good to relax and wash away the bad luck."

Everyone: "..."

Captain, we're currently on a top-secret mission behind enemy lines. We've just made a huge mess and are being hunted down by Konoha all over the world. And you're saying you want to go to a neutral country for a hot spring?

Is your brain circuitry a little different from ours?

"The Land of Hot Water is a prosperous commercial center with a large flow of people and a diverse mix of all sorts of people. Wouldn't it be perfect for us to enter it like fish swimming into the sea?"

Damn it, the one I killed was Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the son of the Hokage, the crown prince of Konoha!

If the mission hadn't been unfinished and the Mizukage hadn't given his approval, he would have wanted to run straight back to Kirigakure, let alone leave the Land of Hot Springs!

Gouju explained sincerely.

"Moreover, the war between Kumogakure and Konoha has basically come to an end, and the two sides have entered a stalemate, a half-truce."

"In the eastern part of the ninja world, if we really want to talk about a safe zone, this is probably the only one."
