Sunagakure Village suddenly carried out military exercises in the Bear Country, and this fact did not escape the attention of other countries.

As one of the five major countries, the Country of Wind attracts the attention of all countries in the ninja world for every move it makes. It is natural.

As the embodiment of the military power of the Kingdom of Wind, Sand Hidden Village is also a target of focus for all countries.

Although during the Third Ninja War, Sunagakure Village lost the best opportunity to attack Konoha because of Amegakure Village's intervention in the battle, no country dared to underestimate the strength of Sunagakure Village.

Sunagakure Village was the first ninja village to leave the battlefield during the Third Ninja World War. After so many years of steady development, the military power of the ninja village has long since recovered, and the ninja villages of Konoha and Kumogakure, which are recovering, have long since

One step ahead.

Under the premise of this peace-oriented era, Sunagakure Village suddenly carried out military exercises in the Bear Country. This kind of thing seems quite intriguing.

Among the five major ninja villages, the first one to receive the news was the Earth Country Iwagakure Village.

Iwagakure Village, surrounded by rocks and mountains, has the strongest defensive capabilities among all ninja villages.

In the office of the Tsuchikage Building, Onoki, the third-generation Tsuchikage who is already seventy years old, received the news that Sunagakure Village was conducting military exercises in the Bear Country. His first reaction was a subconscious reaction, thinking whether Sunagakure Village was targeting Iwa.

Hidden Village takes action.

Although Iwagakure and Sunagakure had cooperated during the Third Ninja War, it does not mean that this level of cooperation will continue.

Because Sand Hidden Village is located in the Country of Wind, the desert environment is very serious, and its demand for food and water is far greater than that of other countries.

The numerous foreign wars that Sunagakure Village has fought are all due to its extreme thirst for resources.

There is no difference between attacking the Kingdom of Fire and attacking the Kingdom of Earth for Sunagakure Village.

But after taking a closer look at the intelligence collected by Iwagakure Anbu, I discovered that the place where Sunagakure Village conducts military exercises within the territory of the Bear Country is not the northeastern border of the Bear Country adjacent to the Earth Country, but the northwest border of the Bear Country, which is very close to the Oni Country.

.

"Are you trying to attack the east or the west?"

On the surface, it is close to the Kingdom of Ghosts, but in fact it is eyeing the Kingdom of Earth.

After all, Sunagakure Village has no reason to attack the Kingdom of Demons. On the contrary, the Kingdom of Earth is different.

It has long been an indisputable fact that Ninja Village, which is part of the five major countries, is hostile to each other.

"Father, I don't think so."

Iwagakure Jounin Huangtu, who was on the side, also saw the information presented by the ANBU and made his own guess.

"Oh? Do you have any other opinions, Huang Tu?"

"Now that the environment of the big countries has stabilized, Sunagakure Village will not attack Iwagakure Village even for the purpose of plundering development resources. The impact of a war between the five major countries will be too huge and difficult to control unless Sunagakure Village does a good job

Once again, the heavy preparations were sacrificed, and the vitality that had been restored over the years was once again lost in one fell swoop."

Although Iwagakure wasn't much better in the end, Sunagakure couldn't be alone.

"It makes sense, but Sunagakure Village has been ambitious since the Second Kazekage period... to develop magnetic release ninjutsu and tailed beast technology. We must not speculate on them with ordinary thinking."

Although Onoki is old, his eyesight is still there.

Today's Fourth Kazekage Rasa, like the Kazekage of the previous two years, is a young ninja with his own lofty political ambitions.

For three consecutive generations, the Kazekage tried to build Sunagakure Village by any means necessary to acquire power, and even started a war. This was also their consideration.

As a Kazekage, Rasa may be lacking in strength among the contemporary Five Kages, but his inner ambition is no less than that of Kumogakure's Fourth Raikage.

Young people like this are what Onoki finds most troublesome.

If everyone was like the Third Hokage of Konoha and focused on being steady and conservative, it would really help a lot.

If you think about it carefully, out of the original five Kages, only yourself and Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third Hokage of Konoha, have not abdicated.

Kirigakure, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure all had their leaders replaced.

In his eyes, the new shadows in these three villages are still young people of the child generation, and they can still work in the shadow position for at least twenty years.

In comparison, Iwagakure Village is a little worse.

Currently, there is no young man who can take over his position in Iwagakure Village, and his son Huangtu is also a bit uninterested, which has made Onoki troubled more than once.

At the age of seventy, it is already time for me to retire.

Not only has the chakra declined, but the reflexes cannot be compared to when he was young. The most important thing is... In order to seduce the Third Raikage, he sacrificed his waist, which has caused pain in his head and back every three days...

Thinking of this, Onoki not only wanted to shed tears.

"It's possible. But I recently got an interesting piece of folklore."

Huang Tu said this.

"Folklore?"

Onoki was slightly startled, but he didn't care about this.

"When I went to the Kingdom of Ghosts to buy medicine a while ago, I overheard the conversation of several businessmen from the Kingdom of Ghosts in a wine shop."

"What did they talk about?"

"During the Third Ninja War, Sunagakure Village lacked start-up capital, so it approached the Aster Flower Merchant Association of the Kingdom of Demons for a loan, and an important minister of the Kingdom of Wind served as a guarantor. My father should have heard of this kind of thing.

Alright?"

"Yes, I did hear about this."

Onoki didn't know what Huangtu was doing when he mentioned this.

"That's it. According to the conversation of the group of businessmen, Sunagakure Village, which was supposed to repay the loan two years ago, has been delaying until now. It has not repaid a penny to the Demon Country and keeps looking for excuses to refuse. There are many

Businessmen from the Kingdom of Ghosts all have a pessimistic attitude towards this incident, believing that they can spend money to eliminate the disaster and there is no need for a military power like the Kingdom of Wind."

"...Is it because of this kind of thing that you chose the northwest of the Bear Country as a military exercise venue?"

Onoki was a little speechless.

No matter how you look at this kind of thing, Sunagakure Village and the Kingdom of Wind are at fault, and now they are still resorting to military coercion. It is really unreasonable.

"There seems to be a small episode in the middle. The debt collectors from the Kingdom of Ghosts went to the Daming Mansion of the Kingdom of Wind to intimidate, causing the Daiming of the Kingdom of Wind to move to the Kingdom of Ghosts... But this is just a folk rumor. How many specifics are there?

The authenticity is unknown.”

Huang Tu breathed out.

"In this way, it really has nothing to do with our Earth Kingdom. However, we cannot be completely unprepared. Then we will dispatch two thousand ninjas to the southwest border. If Sunagakure Village intends to attack the Earth Kingdom, we will intercept them there.

"

"What if not?"

"Then just sit on the sidelines and wait and see how the situation changes. Things in the Kingdom of Ghosts have nothing to do with us. As long as it doesn't hurt the miko or cause too much fighting or conflict, don't pay attention to them."

Although Sunagakure Village's actions are completely unreasonable, Onoki has no intention of standing up for the Kingdom of Demons. No matter which country between the two is damaged, it is a good thing for the Kingdom of Earth.

"Yes, then I will..."

Before Loess could finish speaking, a thunderous explosion sounded in the sky above Yanyin Village.

The huge explosion flash was still clearly visible through the transparent glass.

Huang Tu looked dumbfounded at the light produced by the explosion above Yanyin Village, and opened his mouth for a long time.

"Really, is that kid Deidara doing something good again? Father, your disciple is a little too naughty. This is no longer disturbing the people..."

"...Loess, what are you talking about here? Hurry up and catch that bastard Deidara! If this continues, the village will be blown up by him sooner or later!"

Onoki's face turned black and his whole body was shaking with anger.

Even without looking, he knew that the person who caused the huge explosion above Iwagakure was his close disciple Deidara.

A child from Iwagakure Village who is extremely talented.

At only ten years old, he possesses explosive abilities that give even jounin a headache.

Even among the Iwagakure Demolition Force, they are the main members of the front line.

The only flaw is that he likes to display his extremely dangerous bomb works everywhere, which is also known as instant art.

Bullshit moment art!

That's obviously a dangerous explosive.

If you are not careful, the villagers may go to heaven.

More than half of the complaint letters sent to him by villagers and ninjas were written by Deidara's disciple.

Onomu thought of this, his face was red and his nose was a little angry.

"Yes. Alas, this boy is still so naughty..."

Huang Tu smiled helplessly, opened the window, jumped out, and ran quickly in the direction of the explosion.

Sunagakure Village conducts military exercises on the northwest border of the Bear Country, and does not hide this from the border military investigators of the Ghost Country.

In fact, when Sand Hidden Village did not launch an operation against the Kingdom of Demons, the upper echelons of the military had already conveyed an order to keep a close eye on the southeastern border of the Kingdom of Demons, conduct reconnaissance from the air, and report immediately as soon as there was any situation.

In response to Sunagakure Village's actions, Oni Country did not assemble ninja troops immediately. It seemed that they did not care about Sunagakure Village's actions at all, or they thought that Sunagakure Village was just conducting a normal military exercise and was not for
