Sunagakure began serious military mobilization.

The preliminary strategic goal of squeezing the Kingdom of Rain has been basically completed. Although we still want to further squeeze out the vitality of the Kingdom of Rain, but in that case, we will inevitably start direct action with Yuyin Village.

When it comes to squeezing the Land of Rain, Chiyo, Sunagakure's senior advisor, does not want to touch the bottom line of that demigod ninja, Sanshouyu Hanzo.

Having had several head-to-head confrontations with Hanzo in the past, Chiyo is well aware of how powerful and terrifying Hanzo is. If his limit is touched, it will inevitably lead to Amegakure's crazy revenge.

At this time, the best result is to just stop. There may be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

"Elder Chiyo, the support will arrive in two days."

At the end of the previous year, Sunagakure decided to launch a full-scale attack on the troops stationed in Konoha in the Country of Rain in March this year, striving to defeat the effective forces of Konoha deployed by Orochimaru in the Country of Rain from the front in the shortest possible time.

Later, in order to launch a long-term military plunder operation in the Land of Fire, we must also ensure the integrity of our own forces. The most critical of these is the brigade of two thousand ninjas dispatched from the Sunagakure Village headquarters.

After joining the Sunagakure troops here, the force can be expanded to more than 7,000 people.

Facing the less than three thousand ninja troops led by Orochimaru, they had an overwhelming advantage.

The Kingdom of Rain is no longer able to exploit it further, and Sunagakure has only one goal left, which is also one of the most important strategic goals in launching this war - to invade the Kingdom of Fire.

The colorful world there is waiting for the visit of the Sunagakure ninjas.

Compared to a barren country like the Rain Country, the Fire Country is the real paradise.

"Thank you for your hard work. Are the medicines, ninja tools, food and other supplies ready?"

Chiyo's expression softened.

Ninja wars do not necessarily take the form of large-scale battles. Many times, they are fought in the form of small teams. Such large-scale battles will only be carried out to achieve special goals or when forced to do so.

For example, Sunagakure's next plan to invade the Land of Fire has basically completed its layout in the Land of Rain last year. There is no need to waste any time in the next step to defeat Konoha from the front in one go. Although there will be heavy casualties, everything after that will

The benefits obtained will also be very large.

"Yes. We began to secretly raise funds in October last year, which is enough for a force of 7,000 people for one year. However, after purchasing medicines and ninja tools, the food shortage problem became more serious, so we asked the Demon Country's

The Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association loaned a certain amount of money to purchase food."

Sunagakure Jonin reported truthfully.

Chiyo nodded.

During this special war period, the price of food is much higher than during peacetime.

And the cost of ninja tools is also not small. An ordinary kunai can be worth one hundred taels. A better kunai can be worth three hundred taels to five hundred taels. And a fine kunai is worth thousands.

Two or more. This kind of well-made kunai, ordinary kunai may break directly after being touched a few times.

The normal number of kunai a ninja carries is between five and ten.

This is only the cost of kunai. It comes with various special ninja tools such as shurikens and detonating charms, as well as subsequent regular maintenance costs. Even if the quality and preparation quantity are calculated at a minimum, it will definitely add up to a sum.

Astronomical numbers.

Ninja battles compete not only with the ninjutsu and the quality of the ninja itself, but also with the quality of the ninja tools.

The sophistication of ninja tools can also play a very crucial role in a battle.

This is also an important reason why Chiyo adopts the strategy of squeezing the Kingdom of Rain. The Kingdom of Wind is not as rich and prosperous as the Kingdom of Fire. Most of the land is desolate desert that cannot be cultivated. Its economy and resource utilization are at the bottom among the five major countries. Even if there are daimyo

Even though they have strong support, they often find themselves struggling in terms of consumption.

In order to save the few resources, squeezing the Rain Country is indeed a good move. It not only reduces the threat of the Rain Country, but also allows the Rain Country to bear Sunagakure's extremely heavy military expenditure, killing two birds with one stone.

"As long as we win this war, there is no need to worry about the loan issue. At present, we only need to focus on Konoha."

Chiyo answered confidently.

She has seen the situation of this war very clearly.

Konoha's military strength is divided among three groups. The number of Konoha ninjas stationed in the Land of Rain is less than 3,000. Konoha is unable to resist Sunagakure's next attack. It will only be defeated quickly and open the fire to Sunagakure.

The gateway of the country.

Therefore, Chiyo feels that it is not a big problem to borrow money from other countries and also raise all war supplies. Soon Sunagakure will use the resources of the Fire Country, not only to pay off the loan quickly, but also to use the remaining

resources and develop Sunagakure's military power.

Taking everything into account, Chiyo felt that her plan was foolproof.

At this moment, another Sunagakure jounin walked in.

"Elder Chiyo."

"What's up?"

"Hanzo, the leader of Yugakure, wants to see you."

"That old man with the snorkel?"

Chiyo, who was sitting on the chair, frowned, wondering what Hanzo's intention was in leaving Amegakure Village at this time and looking for her?

No matter how hard he thought, he could not guess Hanzo's intention, so Chiyo stood up from the chair and said to the Sunagakure jounin: "Take me over and have a look. This old man with a snorkel is not easy to mess with."

Most of the ninjas in Amegakure Village are a ragtag group. Amegakure's great success in the Second Ninja World War was only the result of Hanzo.

Therefore, Chiyo can't say that he is enthusiastic about Amegakure's attitude, he just sells it to Hanzo to save face.

When we arrived outside the camp, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and shining thunder was looming in the clouds. Occasionally, there would be muffled thunder, but the rain did not decrease.

There were about a dozen Amegakure ninjas who followed Hanzo, and they were all jounin of Amegakure Village, and they were one of the few elite combat forces in Amegakure Village.

He did not enter the core of Sunagakure's camp, but waited for Chiyo to arrive on the periphery.

Even so, there were quite a few Sunagakure ninjas who lurked in the dark and stared at Hanzo with hostility and fear.

Young Sunagakure ninjas may have some doubts, but any Sunagakure ninja who has experienced the Second Ninja World War and survived the battlefield knows very well that this old man who looks older than before and seems to have less energy,

The strength is so amazing.

The Sannin of Konoha, who are now shining brightly in the ninja world, are just his defeated enemies.

He single-handedly restored the disadvantage of the Land of Rain, and although he was completely defeated in the general situation, in the last ninja war, his personal strength was a peak that no one could surpass in the past, so even though he lost, it was an honor.

"Hanzo, why did you come to me at this time?"

Chiyo was followed by several Sunagakure jounin, and stopped exactly ten meters away from Hanzo, asking Hanzo what the significance of coming here was.

Hanzo did not speak immediately, and the look in his eyes was calm.

The sound of pattering wind and rain could be heard in his ears, and the cold rain wet his hair and the gas mask on his face.

After a long silence, when Chiyo started to become suspicious and the atmosphere around Sunagakure was tense, Hanzo slowly spoke: "These three guys are your Sunagakure ninjas, right?"

After Hanzo finished speaking, the Amegakure jounin behind him immediately pushed the three bound Sunagakure ninjas forward.

Because these three Sunagakure ninjas seemed to have gone through extremely cruel torture, when they were pushed out, they didn't take a few steps before their bodies fell weakly to the muddy ground, and they moaned in pain that seemed to be absent from their mouths.

.

Chiyo's eyes widened slightly, wondering what Hanzo meant.

A Sunagakure jounin next to Chiyo came out, squatted down, and examined the three Sunagakure ninjas who were tortured into a state of disgrace, his eyes slightly condensed.

"Elder Chiyo is a ninja in the village. This team was on a secret mission before."

The Sunagakure jonin turned to look at Chiyo.

Chiyo nodded, and then turned his attention to Hanzo. Just as he was about to speak, Hanzo had already asked: "I would like to ask, what secret mission are they performing?"

"There is no comment on this kind of thing. And why are they in your hands?"

When it comes to the next strategic arrangement, Chiyo will naturally not reveal it to Hanzo, an outsider.

"Confidential mission?"

Hanzo wanted to confirm this again.

"yes."

"They are the ninjas of your village? Is that true?"

"yes."

Although she didn't understand the cause and effect of the incident, Chiyo admitted it generously.

"Since you admit that this is your Sunagakure ninja, then things will be easier to handle..."

There was no emotion in Hanzo's eyes. He stretched his palm behind his back and grasped the handle of the sickle.

Chiyo's face changed slightly, showing a wary look.

A large number of Sunagakure ninjas also jumped out from the side, surrounding Hanzo and other Amegakure ninjas, with nervous looks on their faces.

Bright red liquid floated in front of everyone's eyes.

The bodies of the three Sunagakure ninjas who fell to the ground each had a wound made by a sickle.

There was a sound of the chain being pulled, the scythe flew through the air, and fell into Hanzo's hand again, the blade stained with the blood of the Sunagakure ninja.

"Hanzo! What are you doing?"

Chiyo's face became angry.
