Deep in the night, within the Hidden Cloud Village, Yamato's squad quietly withdrew.
Their squad did not take back the barrier because that thing was disposable, specially made for this operation, and would naturally dissipate once dawn broke the next day.
But, just at this moment.
Just as Yamato's squad was preparing to return to Leichehu's house, they suddenly encountered another group of people on the road.
Leichehu's scalp tingled, and he instinctively prepared to attack.
Seeing this, Yamato quickly grabbed his hand and spoke in a very low voice: "Friendly forces, don't move!"
"What?" Leichehu was stunned.
Yamato only gave a simple explanation: "There is an entire squadron participating in this operation in the Hidden Cloud Village, and your side is just one of them. We originally didn't intend to act so brazenly, but we didn't expect the entire Hidden Cloud Village to be completely rotten; there isn't even a single patrol team out in the middle of the night."
Leichehu's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.
Patrol teams?
The Kumogakure of the past certainly wouldn't have been so careless, but who could help it when this is the most chaotic time for Kumogakure?
Sigh!
After a helpless sigh, Leichehu began to explain simply.
"As for Kumogakure, how should I put it?"
"Everything started with the death of the Fourth Raikage and the capture of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. It seems that with the deaths of these two, the spirit and backbone of all of Kumogakure have been shattered."
"Especially now with the sudden death of the Fifth Generation Raikage, it has torn the interior of Kumogakure into several pieces."
"No one can convince anyone else, no one can come up with a reliable plan, and no one knows what to do in the future."
"So now, everyone has just given up!"
"Plus, with the Akatsuki Organization acting all over the Ninja World now, and us in Konoha only taking some covert actions without showing too much aggression openly, naturally no one has any interest in maintaining daily order during this time."
"The people of Kumogakure are all secretly vying for power and profit now!"
"They are each forming their own small cliques. Forget about regular patrols; even daily government affairs have been completely neglected."
"..."
Leichehu muttered as if he were complaining, directly stating the recent situation within Kumogakure.
After hearing this, Yamato's mouth also twitched.
In short, this whole thing is just hard to judge!
Following that, there was no conversation along the way.
However, on the road back to Leichehu's house, even though the whole journey took less than twenty minutes, they encountered twelve Konoha Anbu squads along the way.
Leichehu: "..."
At this moment, he was completely numb, not knowing what to say.
It seemed that the slacking of Kumogakure had exceeded his imagination.
Good grief!
The Konoha Anbu were treating the Hidden Cloud Village like their own backyard, yet it seemed not a single person inside Kumogakure had noticed...
Is Konoha too powerful, or is Kumogakure too rotten?
He didn't know, and couldn't be bothered to think about it!
But suddenly, a voice emerged in his heart: the current Kumogakure had completely lost its cohesion, and he could now even vaguely see the upcoming collapse of Kumogakure.
To be honest...
His mood was not very good!
Although he knew he was a Konoha spy, he had grown up inside Kumogakure after all, and he had actually long regarded Kumogakure as his motherland.
Now, watching his motherland slowly head towards collapse, his mood naturally appeared very complicated.
...
The long night slowly passed.
The actions of an entire Konoha Anbu squadron, consisting of fifty-seven Anbu squads, never caused a single ripple within Kumogakure.
By the time this long night had passed, Kumogakure still appeared very calm.
The next day, early in the morning.
Accompanied by the waking of the many citizens of Kumogakure, the barriers hidden everywhere slowly lost their effect, and then screams began to ring out everywhere.
Countless houses were completely destroyed, countless corpses lay everywhere, and the thick smell of blood permeated the land.
The entire Kumogakure was in complete chaos.
The various newly formed factions within Kumogakure—some people felt disdainful and mocked, while others had very ugly expressions.
The factions that were disdainful and mocking were those with fewer casualties.
The factions with ugly expressions were those with more casualties.
For a time.
The entire interior of Kumogakure was on edge; no one thought that Konoha was the one acting, merely assuming it was internal fighting for power and profit.
Leichehu entered the Kumogakure Anbu with a grave expression, immediately summoned his trusted aides, and without a word, went to find his faction leader.
Yes!
Although he was merely a Konoha spy, since he could sit firmly in the position of Anbu squad leader in Kumogakure, he naturally had a faction supporting him from above.
His leader was called Yeyue Han!
He was an elder from the Yeyue Clan, and firmly controlled Kumogakure's technology department, Ninja Academy, and finance department. Furthermore, he held in his hands all the Ninja of the entire Yeyue Clan, in addition to countless Ninja from within the entire Hidden Cloud Village who had secretly defected to him.
Leichehu was merely a small character in his faction.
Perhaps before the Fourth Raikage A had any incidents, Leichehu wouldn't even have had the qualifications to meet this person, but in this current era where Kumogakure's strong have suffered extremely heavy casualties, and even the Fourth Raikage A has sacrificed himself, Leichehu has suddenly risen to become one of the generals in his hands.
"Leichehu, you are very good!"
"The current Anbu interior is very chaotic, and your superior Leimen Zhen died last night. I need you to immediately take action and control the squadron you are in."
"I will give you two Yeyue Clan Jonin and ten Elite Chunin to command. From today on, all Yeyue Clan resources within the Anbu will also fully support you in ascending to the position of squadron leader, thereby completely taking over Leimen Zhen's position as squadron leader."
"You are allowed to kill when necessary, but you must control the internal impact. Try not to kill in public areas."
"Go!"
"I will give you one week; absolutely do not disappoint me."
"Once you truly sit firmly in the position of Anbu squadron leader, then the Yeyue Clan's secret technique library will be completely open to you, and you will be permitted to marry a member of the Yeyue Clan as your wife."
"..."
Yeyue Han didn't waste any words and immediately issued the order.
Of course.
While giving Leichehu a heavy responsibility, he also didn't forget to paint a big picture for him, and truly handed over some of the Yeyue Clan's power to him.
And, regarding this.
Although Leichehu was very disdainful in his heart, he still appeared very respectful on the surface, even making various promises with a hint of excitement, before taking the personnel handed to him by the Yeyue Clan, as well as his own trusted aides, and heading straight to the Kumogakure Anbu.
Only from the depths of his eyes could one see his faint disdain and mockery towards the Yeyue Clan.
Yes!
Perhaps in the past he would have been truly very excited; after all, being able to truly become one of the Yeyue Clan's own people would have been a good thing for everyone in Kumogakure.
Now, however, it is different!
The current Kumogakure has completely rotted, and the Konoha Anbu have also chosen to intervene.
Kumogakure...
Is doomed!
