"The people from Kumogakure Village have already sent a message, they have successfully entered Konohagakure Village, and they will start their operation two nights later."
In a secret forest outside Konohagakure Village, four ninjas wearing Iwagakure Ninja headbands were whispering.
"Has our informant been notified?"
A man who looked mature and steady spoke. He was the team leader of this mission, Sekai Okabe. He was quite famous in the ninja world and had considerable strength, but compared to Hatake Satoru and Namikaze Minato, he was a bit inferior, perhaps even less than Kakashi.
"Yes, they are waiting for our command. As soon as we give the order, they will immediately control the ninjas guarding the gate of Konohagakure Village and let us pass."
"Good, then let's wait for the night when the Kumogakure Ninja make their move, and we will also start our operation."
Okabe said seriously.
"Yes."
The remaining three Iwagakure Ninjas nodded one after another.
Inside Konohagakure Village, when Hatake Satoru saw the Kumogakure Ninja, a surprised expression appeared on his face.
And when those Kumogakure Ninja saw Hatake Satoru, their eyes unconsciously widened a lot. They had all seen Hatake Satoru fight with the Fourth Raikage before, so they were very clear about Hatake Satoru's strength. That's why they showed such a shocked expression when they saw Hatake Satoru.
"You guys rest here first, and in two days, Hokage-sama will sign a peace agreement with you."
Nara Shikaku led them to the reception area and said.
"What's going on?"
When Nara Shikaku came out, Hatake Satoru asked curiously.
"They want to sign a peace agreement with us."
Nara Shikaku said with a somewhat helpless tone.
"Sign a peace agreement? Just at this time, there must be some conspiracy."
Hearing their intentions, Hatake Satoru said without any hesitation, not afraid that his words would be heard by those Kumogakure Ninja just now.
"That's right, we think so too, but they are too vigilant, ordinary Anbu can't monitor them at all."
"The bugs of the Aburame clan are indeed a good way to track, ordinary people really can't easily detect it."
Hatake Satoru nodded.
"You know?"
Hearing what Hatake Satoru said, Nara Shikaku asked curiously. Except for him, the Fourth Hokage, and the clan leader of the Aburame clan, no one should know about this matter.
"I saw it."
Hatake Satoru smiled.
Just now in his Rikugan, he had noticed that there was a bug attached to the bodies of those Kumogakure Ninja, so he thought it should be the work of the Aburame clan.
"You're really too scary, thank goodness you're not an enemy of Konohagakure."
Nara Shikaku took a deep breath and said.
"Haha, I can't help it, who made me so strong, being invincible is so lonely."
Hatake Satoru waved at Nara Shikaku and left directly.
"This guy."
Nara Shikaku also smiled helplessly.
"Such a person should not betray Konohagakure."
Then, Nara Shikaku also left, found the Fourth Hokage, and reported the situation of the few people from Kumogakure Village to him.
"Have you found any abnormalities for the time being?"
Namikaze Minato asked the man in sunglasses behind him. He was the current clan leader of the Aburame clan, Aburame Shimi, and the bug attached to those Kumogakure Ninja was his handiwork.
"Not yet."
Aburame Shimi answered calmly, with his expressionless face, it looked a bit cold.
"Alright, continue to monitor, report any information to us as soon as possible."
"Yes."
In this way, Aburame Shimi also rarely took on the role of the Fourth Hokage's guard.
Two days passed, and during these two days, those Kumogakure Ninja did not show any abnormalities.
"Could it be that they really just came to sign a peace agreement?"
At this moment, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled. The behavior of the Kumogakure Ninja this time was too abnormal, and the timing was too wrong, so Namikaze Minato had doubts about them.
"I don't know, but I hope we're overthinking it."
Nara Shikaku also said with a heavy face, after all, no one wants their village to have any security risks.
They don't believe that the bugs of Aburame Shimi were discovered by the other party. After all, they are very clear about Aburame Shimi's strength. Even if the bugs are attached to Namikaze Minato, it would be hard for him to discover them for a while.
So let alone those Kumogakure Ninja.
"Captain, we're going to start the operation tonight, do we have any specific plans?"
In the guest house, these Kumogakure Ninja finally couldn't help but ask directly.
"Don't say it so carelessly."
Another Kumogakure Ninja quickly stopped him.
"Don't worry, after our observation these few days, isn't there not a single ninja watching us?"
The Kumogakure Ninja who spoke just now said nonchalantly.
"What do you think, Captain?"
"Well, it seems that Konohagakure has completely trusted us, they should only be guarding against Iwagakure Village now."
Kawamoto Yoshizo said.
"There's a situation."
At the same time as they were talking, Aburame Shimi also immediately realized that they seemed to be discussing some serious topics.
Suddenly, the attention of Namikaze Minato and Nara Shikaku was all attracted.
"Through our investigation over the years in Kumogakure Village, the Hyuga clan is divided into the main family and the branch family, and as long as the people of the branch family die, the Byakugan will automatically disappear, so our target is the people of the Hyuga main family."
Kawamoto Yoshizo said directly.
"Their target is the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan."
Aburame Shimi also directly said the information he got.
"They dare to covet the Byakugan."
A trace of killing intent appeared in Namikaze Minato's expression.
"Immediately invite the Hyuga clan leader."
"Yes."
An Anbu appeared in front of Minato and disappeared immediately.
"But the people of the Hyuga clan have the Byakugan, and their strength is very strong. If we fight with them, it is very likely that we will attract other ninjas from Konohagakure. By then, our plan will fail."
Another Kumogakure Ninja said directly.
"So our target is the two-year-old daughter of the Hyuga clan leader. As long as we catch her, our plan will be completed."
Little did they know, their words had already reached the ears of the Fourth Hokage.
"Hokage-sama, you're looking for me?"
Hyuga Hiashi, the clan leader of the Hyuga clan, came to the Hokage's office and said with a puzzled look. Normally, Minato rarely finds him.
"Do you know about the recent peace agreement that Kumogakure Ninja wants to sign with us?"
"Yes, I've heard a little about it."
Hiashi sat opposite Minato and nodded.
"But according to the information we got, their main plan this time is to get the Byakugan of your Hyuga clan, and they have already targeted your daughter."
Hearing Minato say this, Hiashi immediately frowned, and a trace of killing intent was faintly released from his body.
