Konoha Year 48, Autumn.

The Third Ninja World War, which was triggered by the sudden changes of Sunagakure in the Land of Wind and involved almost all countries in the entire ninja world, has gradually come to an end.

On the frontal battlefield, Sunagakure Village, which was the weakest and had lost its village leader, the Third Kazekage, was the first to withdraw from the competition for the winner's position.

Even in the battle with Kumogakure, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa stepped forward and led Sunagakure to protect his country. What was left to him was nothing more than a piece of chicken feathers and the village's high-end combat power was once again lost by nearly half.

the sad reality;

Although the Iwagakure Village of the Earth Country successfully surrounded and killed the Third Raikage of the Kumogakure Village of the Thunder Country in the early stages of the war by relying on their numerical superiority and forced back Kumogakure's offensive, in the subsequent battle with the Fire Country Konoha Village

However, they encountered obstacles one after another in the battles. The defeat at the Battle of Kannabi Bridge completely shattered Iwagakure's idea of ​​continuing to expand the scale of the war.

Although Iwagakure still maintains the confrontation with Konoha, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the peace talks between Iwagakure and Konoha are already a certainty;

As the initiator of the war, the performance of Yunyin Village in the Kingdom of Thunder during the war was somewhat unsatisfactory.

On the battlefield with Iwagakure, they lost the third generation Raikage, the strongest man in the village;

In the battle with Konoha, the AB combination of the newly succeeded Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki Rabbi, failed to get the benefits they wanted from the hands of the yellow flashing Namikaze Minato.

Therefore, the Kumogakure ninjas who came with great momentum had no choice but to retreat to the Kingdom of Thunder and silently lick their wounds while waiting for the situation to change again;

As for Konoha Village in the Country of Fire, although it was attacked on all sides during the war and suffered heavy losses, the baptism of the war also allowed a group of amazing elites to emerge among the new generation of ninjas in Konoha.

Represented by the golden flash Minato Namikaze, the new leader of the Uchiha clan Uchiha Fugaku, Sharingan Kakashi and others, the younger generation of ninjas began to take over from the hands of the previous generation of ninjas in Konoha to support Konoha.

It is foreseeable that after the war is over, as long as no accidents occur, Konoha will usher in a new development climax...

So, when the Ninja World War is in full swing, what is Kirigakure Village in the Country of Water, which is also one of the five great Ninja Villages, doing?

Watching from the sidelines, waiting for the opportunity for fishermen to profit from the snipe and clam competition.

But now, Konoha is full of exhaustion. Although it has seen the dawn of victory, it has to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to continue to maintain the alert against Kumogakure and Iwagakure. The entire country's defense line has exposed huge flaws due to the shortage of manpower.

Now, the ninjas of Kirigakure have finally decided to enter the field to reap the fruits of victory.

…

"Rei, a new mission is here. It was signed by the Third Generation Master personally, and you are designated to lead the team to execute it."

In the Kaguya clan's territory, a girl with a mask stood on the eaves, conveying the will of the Third Mizukage to the young man who was lying on the roof silently admiring the moon, with a heroic face and sharp eyebrows. After hearing the news,

The black-haired boy named Lian sighed helplessly.

"Do you have to come and tell me such a disappointing thing when I'm celebrating my fifteenth birthday, Terumi Mei?"

"This is not something I can decide. Since the Third Generation has made the decision to launch an offensive against Konoha, as one of the executors of his personal decision, I naturally have the obligation to convey the news to you as soon as possible.

"

The girl with reddish-brown hair stated her reasons for doing so in a cold tone, but Kaguya Rei, who had been working with her in the ANBU for some time, would not be easily fooled by her performance. He was neat and tidy.

He stood up, moved his body, and stretched out his hand to Mei Terumi, who was a blood ninja like him.

"Okay, okay, I'll just treat you as a ruthless bad woman who just came to give me mission information...Give me the scroll, and then you can go back and resume your life."

"Give."

Mei Terumi took out a scroll sealed with a sealing technique from her waist, and put it into Rei Kaguya's hand.

At the moment when the scroll was handed over, Kaguya Rei's eyes moved, and he stretched out his hand to grab Terumi Mei's white and slender wrist. However, Terumi Mei was not unprepared. The dust under her feet dispersed, and in the blink of an eye, she was already leaning against her.

The instant body technique appeared dozens of meters away——

"I'm not the kind of fool who will be fooled by you using the same trick over and over again. Don't look down on me, Lian."

Terumi Mei confidently raised her chest to Rei Kaguya, who was looking a little stunned and surprised as she grabbed the air with one hand, proudly declaring her victory.

"Oh, that's it...I'll poke it."

"Yee!!!"

As Terumi Mei screamed in surprise as she covered her slender waist, the clone that followed her teleportation technique and appeared silently behind her also turned into smoke and dissipated, while Terumi, who was still standing there,

Ye Lian put away the expression on his face and smiled playfully at her.

"If you want to be better than me in taijutsu, wait until you get married before you daydream about it, Terumi Mei."

Terumi Mei was stunned on the spot, not sure what Kaguya Rei's words meant, but after all, girls are more precocious creatures than boys. After realizing it, Terumi Mei was so angry that even her red hair

It's almost burning.

If it weren't for the fact that the place where the two of them were at this moment was the territory of the Kaguya clan, she would have sprayed it with a mouthful of acid, giving this hateful guy opposite who liked to say strange things a warm bath that was clear both inside and outside.

"Kaguya Rei! Whenever I want to treat you better, you speak up! Today's birthday wishes are gone! There won't be any more in the future! Humph!"

Watching the furious Terumi Mei flying up and down the roof and quickly disappearing into the night, Kaguya Rei, who had already opened the scroll, put away the smile on her face, and as expected, her eyebrows became more heroic.

A little more...a relief.

"Tsk, it's indeed here."

The mission requirements written on the scroll are not complicated. They just ask Rei Kaguya to sneak into the Kingdom of Fire with the ANBU team directly under her in two days, and cooperate with other Kirigakure ninjas who have already infiltrated to deal with an army that accidentally exposed their whereabouts.

The Konoha ninja team launched a raid and captured one of the targets.

Although the staffing of that team is good, and there is an elite Jounin of Konoha leading the team, there are two Jounin teams, three ANBU teams on Kirigakure's side, plus Kaguya Rei, the well-known

With the cooperation of the monster's blood successor ninja, the difficulty of completing the task is actually not that high.

The main problem is that the Jonin leading the team is named Hatake Kakashi, and the target that the Third Mizukage asked Kaguya to capture is named Nohara Rin, and one of them has already sneaked into the Land of Fire.

The Jonin team also carried a sealed vessel containing the three-tailed Isobutsu, one of the two major tailed beasts of Kirigakure Village.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, we are about to personally create a historic moment for Uchiha Obito, the mastermind behind the scenes, to go on a rampage and become evil.

If given a choice, Kaguya Rei naturally does not want to participate in such a major historical event that is too dangerous for Schrödinger. After all, facing the mangekyō Sharingan that is driven by idealism is really an uncontrollable risk.

But in order to master the power enough to change everything before Kirigakure completely turns into the Blood Mist, Kaguya Rei has revealed part of his talent in order to learn more advanced secret techniques in Kirigakure Village.

Qualifications for higher status.

Now, he has reached the position of ANBU directly under the Third Mizukage. Faced with the mission personally assigned by the Third Mizukage, he has no possibility of refusing except defecting.

But in such a war-torn era, defecting from one of the five major ninja villages is obviously not a good choice.

So even though she felt a little unhappy, Kaguya Rei had to be prepared to sneak into the Land of Fire with her subordinates in two days to carry out this dangerous plan that ultimately led to Uchiha Obito's evil fall.

However, since he can be called a monster by his tribe and has become an ANBU directly under the Third Mizukage at a young age, Kaguya Rei does not have no cards to play.

"10,9,8...2,1,0."

The countdown that only Rei Kaguya could hear ended, and the moonlight, which looked particularly cold under Kirigakure's perennial fog, was distorted by inexplicable power, and slowly turned into several paragraphs like this in front of Rei Kaguya:

[Survival Mission 3/3: Survival as a ninja in Kirigakure Village for fifteen years has been completed, and you will get a chance to draw the cornerstone rune. 】
