Naruto: Ming Dynasty people roaming the ninja world

Relying on the extraordinary speed brought by his Swift Escape, Mo Congfeng arrived in time to the battlefield where the Kirigakure ninjas attacked the Konoha army. Mo Congfeng's shadow clone was leading the Konoha ninjas to retreat in an orderly manner, trying to attract the Kirigakure ninjas to land and occupy the Whirlpool Country and the house built by Mo Congfeng on the ruins of Whirlpool Village.

However, Miyamoto Jubei was not fooled and refused to completely leave the seaside and enter the depths of the Land of Whirlpools.

So Mo Congfeng had no choice but to show up and lead the Konoha ninjas to attack the Kirigakure ninjas. Miyamoto Jubei immediately gave the order to retreat. Thick fog rose quickly, and the Kirigakure ninjas took the opportunity to quickly retreat back to the foggy sea.

Mo Congfeng ordered the Konoha ninjas to stop the pursuit, simply clean up the battlefield, then abandon the village used for the winter, and set up camp again near the border between the Land of Whirlpools and the Land of Fire.

According to simple statistics, the Konoha ninja lost more than 40 ninjas in the attack by Kirigakure, and more than 30 ninjas temporarily lost their combat effectiveness due to injuries.

The Kirigakure ninjas only left behind more than twenty corpses, mainly due to the casualties caused by the Kirigakure ninjas' failure to retreat in time when Mo Congfeng led the Konoha ninjas to counterattack.

Judging from the casualty ratio, Konoha suffered a small loss in this proactive attack by Kirigakure.

A new camp is being established. Mo Congfeng, along with the leaders of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hizashi and Shina Touhiko, take the initiative to advance and investigate the traces of the Kirigakure ninjas.

It should be mentioned here that in order to protect the safety of Shina Touhiko's disciples Maki and others who remained in the Sand Village, Shina Touhiko and Ye Cang always appear in public dressed as Anbu ninjas.

Mo Congfeng, Hinata Hizashi and the other two discovered through close observation that the Kirigakure ninjas were stationed on the beach, keeping a safe distance from the Konoha ninjas.

Mo Congfeng judged the intention of the Kirigakure ninja. Their appearance was only to absorb Konoha's military strength. Otherwise, there would be no need for them to be stationed on the seashore. Using ships to harass the entire coastal area of ​​the Land of Fire was their correct choice, and it was also their usual style.

After the Fire Country experienced the previous large-scale attack from the Kirigakure, in which the Master cooperated with Obiru to attack the Root organization, but was repelled by Jiraiya, for which Minato Namikaze made great military achievements. After that large-scale attack, there were almost no residents in the coastal areas. They had basically been relocated, and only some tenacious fishermen occasionally went near the sea to fish.

If the Kirigakure ninjas maintain their current intrusion depth, which allows them to attack or defend, then the coastal areas they can invade will not be of any value to them.

If the Kirigakure ninjas want to gain something, they must leave the coastline which is safer for them, which will give the Konoha ninjas the opportunity to destroy them.

Of course, Mo Congfeng now has the ability to rush into the temporary camp of the Kirigakure ninja and kill them, but for Mo Congfeng that is unnecessary, because logically speaking, Mo Congfeng's strength should be at most equivalent to Miyamoto Jubei, who possesses five bloodline limits and is the Three-Tails Jinchuriki.

Therefore, if Mo Congfeng wants to eliminate this group of looting Mist Ninjas, it would be better for him to rely on the power of the Konoha Ninjas.

Mo Congfeng understood the intentions of the Kirigakure ninjas, so he, Hinata Hizashi and Shina Touhiko returned to the new camp of the Konoha ninjas.

When the Shadow Clone brought Might Guy and others to the camp to reunite, two other harassing forces from the Hidden Mist appeared, appearing at two other locations along the coast of the Land of Fire.

Mo Congfeng knew clearly that Kirigakure wanted to force Konoha to send more ninja troops. For them, simply attracting Konoha's nearly a thousand ninjas was not enough. They wanted to attract more power from Konoha.

Of course, Mo Congfeng could also choose to divide his troops, but in that case, the Konoha ninjas would be likely to be defeated one by one by the Kirigakure.

Mo Congfeng wrote a battle report to the Third Hokage, telling him about the situation along the coast of the Land of Fire, saying that he could handle it, and asking him to pay attention to developments in other battlefield directions.

Mo Congfeng did not request reinforcements, nor did he plan to divide his troops. What he had to do was to use the towns of the Fire Country farther away from the coast as bait, attracting the Mist Ninjas to try to go deep into the land to plunder, and then concentrate his forces to eliminate them halfway.

This may sound a bit cruel, but Mo Congfeng possesses a strong perception ability that can cover a sufficient range, and he is confident that he can control the development of the situation.

Unless the Kirigakure ninjas immediately split up into small groups after going deep into the land and launched lethal destructive attacks on a large number of Konoha's towns, Mo Congfeng and the Konoha ninjas would be unable to defend against this situation.

The attitude of the Kirigakure ninjas towards the Fire Nation seemed no different than the attitude of the Ming Dynasty towards the invasion of Japanese pirates. Mo Congfeng felt that he understood the nature of the Kirigakure ninjas and that even if they were not after wealth, they would not easily waste their lives. Their instinct for survival should make them stick together.

If the Kirigakure ninjas just stayed on the coast and held off the ninja army led by Mo Congfeng, and refused to take the bait, that would be exactly what Mo Congfeng would like to see. The two waves of ninjas would confront each other without fighting, and there would be no need for any killing. What a great thing that would be.

Mo Congfeng felt that he was just an employee of Konoha now. If he could maintain the confrontation, he would be working without having to put in any real effort. This should be something that all employees like Mo Congfeng would like!

But things won’t always be as beautiful as you imagine!

Half a month later, a group of Mist Ninjas could not help but start to go deep into the land. Mo Congfeng led the Konoha Ninja army to appear in time, cut off their retreat, and almost wiped out this group of Mist Ninjas. The Konoha Ninjas suffered almost no casualties and eliminated nearly two hundred Mist Ninjas.

Still some Kirigakure ninjas were defeated and fled. Mo Congfeng estimated that there were about thirty or forty Kirigakure ninjas, and there were basically no strong ones among them.

Mo Congfeng handed the task of eliminating the remaining enemies to Ye Cang. She would lead the temporary 16-member detachment including Might Guy and others to gradually wipe out the defeated soldiers of Kirigakure. This would be a training for them. They could meet up with the main force of Konoha Ninja at any time to get assistance and supplies. Mo Congfeng's requirement for them was zero deaths.

Ye Cang and his men completed the mission brilliantly. It took them a month to basically wipe out the defeated Kirigakure soldiers. Only a few wounded people appeared, and all of them were minor injuries.

During this period, the Kirigakure Ninja did not act rashly, as if they were waiting for something, and Mo Congfeng was happy about it.

After Ye Cang and his team completed the task, Mo Congfeng credited them with a merit and sent the completed ninja registration information and merit report to the Third Hokage. The Third Hokage was able to find the initial information of the twelve children, so he should not care about these details, and would not expose Mo Congfeng's small tricks and intentions at this time.

So, from then on, with the recognition of the Third Hokage, Mo Congfeng successfully cleared the identities of the twelve children. They became the twelve official Konoha ninjas and temporarily escaped the fate of the Root organization.
