Chapter 256: Four Symbols Seal
On the northern border of the Land of Hot Water.
Four Konoha battalions and the Fox Squad had set up a camp.
This conflict amounted to a small-scale war, one that might not see a resolution for a month or two.
A ninja hawk descended into the camp.
Hakuyo untied the letter from the hawk's leg, opened it using a specialized Anbu technique, and delivered it to the Fox Squad captain's tent.
Yako's gaze flickered.
The Hokage himself had issued the order, commanding all Anbu to watch for Uzumaki remnants. They were to kill every last one to prevent them from influencing Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Kushina.
"Hakuyo, make gathering intelligence on the Uzumaki remnants a long-term mission for our squad. This is an important order from the Hokage," Yako said.
"Yes, sir!"
