Chapter 427: Gouju Family
When Jiraiya sent Nobutaka to find Ino, she was still in the East Sea Whirlpool Country, dealing with the aftermath of the Kirigakure Village with Shikaku and Shikamaru, father and son.
A lot of things happened in the Hidden Mist Village during these two months.
The master died, and the old ninja used his own life, like a candle in the wind, to save Mei Terumi. All the blame was attributed to him alone. He was the mastermind behind the scenes, and Mei Terumi was just a puppet on the stage. No matter whether the outside world believed it or not, he took all the blame on himself.
Even though the master lost his life, there was still obvious turmoil among the Kirigakure Ninja.
At the call of a certain Dharma King, three ninja families left the Hidden Mist Village, led by the family of the former Fourth Mizukage, Karotachi Yagura. Because they were controlled by Obito and implemented the policy of the Bloody Mist Village, after the chaos was restored, the Karotachi family is now having a hard time in the Hidden Mist Village. There are too many enemies who want to kill them!
Among those who had enlightenment under the twin trees and cleansed their sins was the son of the Fourth Mizukage Karutagi Yagura, Karutagi Yashiro.
The Hidden Mist Village is full of transvestites. Haku and Ranmaru are among the representatives. People as feminine as the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi are rare. Transvestites are the king over there.
The Fourth Mizukage, Karutagi Yagura, is 1.43 meters tall, with red lips and white teeth, and a pretty face, like a big loli, but in fact he is a real man! Gender is male, and he likes women.
Not only does he have a wife, he also has a son and a daughter-in-law. If there hadn't been a Ninja World War, in a few years, his grandson would have been born! Why did Konoha bully Kirigakure? It's because we Kirigakure are too weak! Why is Kirigakure so weak? It's because the ninjas of the bloodline limit family were killed too hard during the Fourth Mizukage period.
There was already a lot of resentment, and after this series of blame-shifting operations, if the Gouju family didn't want to be wiped out in the middle of the night, they had no choice but to run away.
Now they took advantage of the chaos to break away, and also took away two ninja families that were very close to the Kuju family, who were also accomplices in the Blood Mist Village back then.
It would be very difficult for ordinary ninjas to leave the protection of the village. After all, the Karutagi family was once the Mizukage family. Even after being suppressed by the Master and Mei Terumi, the family foundation is still there.
Ino went deep into the Land of Water, took them out, and placed them on the site of the original Land of Whirlpools as Konoha's outer barrier.
With the three ninja families as the main body and recruiting some small ninja clans and civilian ninjas, it would be no problem to set up a small-scale ninja village.
In order to express their gratitude, the Gojutsu family handed over a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry as a reward. Gojutsu's eighth generation also personally gave Ino a ninjutsu, which looked inconspicuous and had a very ordinary name, "Water Style. Water Mirror Technique".
This is the unique skill of the Fourth Mizukage. He can use water-attribute chakra to create a water mirror. A person exactly like the enemy will appear in the mirror, and the enemy's ninjutsu can be completely copied.
This technique is extremely difficult to learn, and even Gouju Badai himself doesn't know it.
Ino took the scroll. With her current attainments in water-style ninjutsu and the assistance of the three-magatama Sharingan, it took her almost half a month to master this ninjutsu.
If the difficulty of learning Flying Thunder God Technique is the first tier, then the difficulty of learning Water Mirror Technique is the second tier.
To put it in a roundabout way, this water-style ninjutsu is not a bloodline limit ninjutsu, but its power is greater than that of a bloodline limit ninjutsu.
Ino was very satisfied with this, and used her connections to borrow a batch of food for the Kuju family from the Fire Country's Daimyo's younger brother, Enichikyuu. They had escaped from the Water Country and were short of everything, and food was more precious than gold at this time.
After receiving the message from Jiraiya, she handed over the work to Shikaku and Shikamaru, father and son, and rushed to the front line in the northeast.
After hearing the mission description, Ino was confused.
"The Land of Ghosts? Where is this country?"
Tsunade was very generous and took out a map and showed her the way.
Ino watched very carefully.
Tsunade's finger moved from the Land of Fire to the Land of Grass, then all the way west to the Land of Rain, the Land of Wind, the Land of Bears, the Land of Mist, and then... then her finger showed a map.
Tsunade drew a circle two fingers outside the map: "It's probably around this location."
Ino rolled her eyes. "Why are you pointing at a country that's not on the map?" She was a fifty-year-old woman. How could she be so unstable and act like a child?
Tuntun and Shizune on the side were both laughing.
Jiraiya also took out a map, which he had drawn himself when he was traveling in the Ninja World. The Land of Demons was marked on it, but it was also at the edge of the map.
Ino thought for a moment and asked, "Of course I can go to investigate. It's just an S-level mission. The problem is, if I leave, will there be any setbacks on the front line?"
Tsunade finally became serious: "The losses of the Hidden Cloud Village are actually greater than ours. Darui came to discuss this matter on behalf of the Fourth Raikage before. Both sides have officially ceased fighting and are waiting for the results of your investigation."
In fact, the Fourth Raikage was also under a lot of pressure.
On his side, there were four Kage-level masters, himself, Killer Bee, Yukito and Darui, fighting against Jiraiya, Tsunade, Ino and Minato Namikaze who occasionally appeared in women's clothing on Konoha's side. With this lineup, Kumogakure was completely at a disadvantage. Jiraiya, Ino and Minato Namikaze all had the strength to fight one against two, and Tsunade could tie against any of the first three plus Darui, but the situation was not as good as it seemed because the Kage-level masters on Konoha's side had to take turns to rest, Minato Namikaze was not a permanent combat unit, and Ino had fought on the southeast front for two months and had been back to the village for two months, that led to the stalemate.
The Fourth Raikage led his army to fight Konoha for half a year, fighting a small battle every three days and a big battle every five days. He was badly injured and in urgent need of repair. Now he is taking the opportunity to withdraw, go back to lick his wounds, and prepare to fight again next time.
Konoha had a similar idea.
The two families withdrew their troops one after another and a temporary ceasefire was reached.
The withdrawal of large forces does not mean that ninja defense will not be arranged at the border.
Asuma replaced Jiraiya and Tsunade to guard the eastern line, and Shizune replaced Ino to guard the southeastern line of defense.
Ino returned to the village first, and Jiraiya handed her a secret letter.
She looked at the handwriting and saw that it was a letter written by Minato Namikaze.
Minato mentioned in his report that the witch from the Land of Demons predicted Naruto's death and hoped to meet Naruto in person.
"The prophecies are often very vague, but if you look carefully, you can still see some clues. Minato will continue to investigate this matter secretly, but if, and I mean if, without endangering your life, please help Naruto, please."
If it were another Hokage, he would not be so obsessed with the so-called prophecy. He would just listen to it and that would be it. What does it have to do with me? But the current Hokage is Jiraiya. This hero of the ninja world attaches great importance to various "prophecies" and is afraid that something will happen that he will regret.
Naruto will die? Ino didn't believe it at all. This prophecy was too ridiculous! Unless King Frieza came to kill him, under normal circumstances, everyone would die, and Naruto, the reincarnation of Ashura, would not die.
