The Fourth Ninja World War is over, but the military forces of the Kingdom of Demons, which were originally stationed on the western border of the Earth Country and now belong to the eastern territory of the Kingdom of Demons, show no signs of evacuating.

Rather, with the signing of the armistice agreement, the power of the Ghost Country stationed at the border has increased rather than decreased.

This made the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, who had begun to relax his nerves, couldn't help but tighten his nerves again, fearing that the Demon Country would directly tear up the armistice agreement, plunder the entire western part of the Earth Country, and even invade the rich central region of the Earth Country.

, forcing the Daimyo of the Land of Earth to move the capital.

After all, some small actions in the Kingdom of Ghosts are fine, but now there are no small actions at all. They just continue to send more forces to the border, which makes Onoki feel uneasy.

Even if there is such a thing as an armistice agreement, it cannot bring him any sense of security.

Regardless of the fact that Iwagakure Village is now clamoring fiercely and wants to perish with the Kingdom of Demons, this is just a compromise that was forced into a desperate situation and had to be made.

Because apart from shouting, Iwagakure no longer has any means to restrain the Demon Country.

Whether it is the Kingdom of Ghosts or the Kingdom of Earth, they are all well aware of such things.

"It seems that I have been staying here, and Onoki has no plans to return to Iwagakure Village. This old man really has no sense of humor at all, and he is too careless to be scared."

Standing on the cliff of a tall mountain rock, Ayane did not use Byakugan, but used a single-lens military telescope to look at the Iwagakure position in the distance.

The atmosphere of the Iwagakure camp in the distance was solemn, filled with a depressing sense of urgency. Every Iwagakure ninja patrolling near the camp tensed up their nerves and started patrolling nearby. It can be seen that,

The situation of military mobilization on the border after the war in Oni Country makes Iwagakure still having trouble sleeping and eating.

No one wants to put a piece of paper into an agreement and think that as long as that kind of agreement is signed, both parties will really get along peacefully.

Iwakaku's current nervous behavior was completely expected by Ayane, the commander-in-chief of Iwagakure.

Unsurprisingly, the third-generation Tsuchikage Onoki, after participating in the armistice negotiations not long ago, continued to guard the front line and did not return to Iwagakure Village to take charge of the overall situation.

Just to be on guard against her sneak attacks.

In the Iwagakure Village, the only person who could pose a threat to her actions was the Tsuchikage himself.

Dust Escape is indeed a bit tricky for her.

That is not a force that flesh and blood can contend with.

"According to reliable information, Iwagakure secretly sent two thousand ninja reinforcements to the border not long ago to prevent us from taking the initiative to tear up the armistice agreement and continue to attack the Land of Earth."

A Jōnin from the Kingdom of Demons accompanying him said.

"I hope that the war can continue. It would be best to annex the western region, which is rich in products, and the central region, which is the cultural and economic center."

Ayane slowly took off the monocular and said with a regretful tone.

Although the Kingdom of Ghosts has taken the initiative to open up the western part of the Kingdom of Earth, if the mechanized troops advance a little further, they can engulf the western part of the Kingdom of Earth. By then, the entire central part of the Kingdom of Earth will be exposed to the forces of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Under the front... Unfortunately, all parties in this war have already mediated, and there are no signs of another fire in a short period of time.

"Forget it, I won't scare this old man anymore."

More than two months have passed since the beginning of the Fourth Ninja War. Her mission at the border has almost been completed. She does not need to personally take charge here anymore and can almost return to the Kingdom of Demons to resume her life.

After continuing to patrol for a while with the accompanying Jonin, Ayane returned to the camp.

That night, a squadron of 100 people, led by Ayane, headed towards the Demon Country to the west.

"Hyuga Ayane left from the front line."

After hearing the news that Ayane had left the front line, not only Iwagakure, who was directly confronting the Demon Country, was relieved, but Konoha, as an ally, was also relieved for Iwagakure, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade looked at the information sent back from the front, her tense expression slightly thawed.

The results of the armistice negotiations have been settled, and all countries have made corresponding deployment actions. However, the subsequent frequent troop mobilizations carried out by the Kingdom of Ghosts on the border still attract the hearts of the major countries and the top leaders of Shinobu Village, and attract their attention.

, it’s hard to move away from that.

With the military strength stationed on the border of the Demon Country, the Fifth Ninja War can be launched at any time and the war will be ignited again.

It was not until the emergence of this information that Konoha and other alliance parties believed that the Kingdom of Demons had no intention of restarting the war.

"Next, Iwagakure should be able to take a few breaths."

Standing in front of his desk, Shikaku smiled for the first time in a long time.

As for slacking off, Shikaku thought it was completely impossible.

Hyuga Ayane, a ninja with terrifying strength, has left, but the ninjas under his command, as well as the mechanized troops with fierce firepower, are still stationed on the front line. If the western border of Earth Country is to be stable, Iwagakure must also

Only by sending out a corresponding amount of force can nothing go wrong.

However, in this war, Iwagakure lost nearly 7,000 ninjas and was short of manpower. Next, Iwagakure had to circulate the village's mission system while dispatching a large number of ninjas to defend the Kingdom of Demons. Even if it entered a confrontation period,

The situation is still very unfavorable for Iwagakure.

Shikaku only hoped that the thousands of Konoha ninjas sent there could alleviate Iwagakure's urgent need at this time.

"I hope so. What I'm more worried about now is that the old man with two scales is in good health. Given his age, he may not be able to last for a few years."

Tsunade raised a very real issue.

Lu Jiu was silent, he didn't have any good solution to this situation.

The reason why the third generation Tsuchikage's body was weak was not because of disease, but because of life span, which is a natural law and cannot be changed by human beings.

The human body's peak energy is in the twenties, and with some medical treatments, it can last until the thirties.

But after the age of forty, the body's energy will decline rapidly, and all functions will decline rapidly.

Not to mention that it is very difficult for an old man over 70 to stay in a front-line position for several months.

"About this, all we can do is pray. What do you think of my previous proposal, Hokage-sama?"

After talking about Iwagakure, Shikaku asked about another topic.

"Are you referring to the certain 'being' you guessed is secretly holding back the Kingdom of Ghosts?"

Tsunade considered her words and glanced at Shikaku.

Shikaku nodded.

"This kind of speculation is too incredible."

Tsunade expressed her opinion.

"However, I always feel that some of the actions of the Kingdom of Demons in this war are very weird and strange. The Kingdom of Demons can still mobilize forces to annihilate holy places like Mt. Miaomu while containing the alliance forces... Honestly

It is said that they are fully capable of taking a further step in this war with the help of their powerful military strength."

It is true that in this Fourth Ninja War, the losses of the Alliance Army were far greater than those of the Demon Country.

But in Shikaku's view, this is far from enough. These results are far from the limit of what the Kingdom of Demons can achieve.

"It is true that their actions in this war were too strange, but it is still a bit unreasonable to put this kind of speculation closer to unknown existences. Maybe the Kingdom of Ghosts just wants to play a more steady and steady role, and directly annex a big country, regardless of

Whether it’s the huge land or the population, it’s a big hidden danger for the Kingdom of Ghosts.”

Unlike those small countries that have been infiltrated by the Kingdom of Ghosts, the Daming Mansion of the Kingdom of Earth still retains the supreme orthodoxy for the people under its rule, and this is a custom formed over thousands of years. Unless the Kingdom of Ghosts creates a large number of

Massacre and eliminate all those who voice resistance, otherwise there is no hope of internal stability in the short term.

If other countries take advantage of the situation at this time, the country of ghosts will surely have even more headaches.

Compared to Shikaku's speculation, Tsunade is more inclined to this idea.

Shikaku did not refute Tsunade's opinion.

Tsunade's explanation can be explained, and it is more convincing than his almost intuitive guess.

If you want to rule a country, it is not just as simple as appropriating the other party's territory and gathering the population.

Especially in a large country with a large population. As long as one or two tenths of the people resist, it is enough to cause a terrible riot and cause huge trouble to the management.

"Let's not mention this matter. Next, we should pay attention to the quality of the ninjas themselves. Not only the graduation examination of the ninja school, but also the passing mark of the chunin examination must be improved."

This war allowed Tsunade to see the gap between Konoha ninjas and Demon Country ninjas.

Those technical matters left Tsunade unable to do anything for the time being, but the quality of the ninja itself must be taken seriously.

Ninja is synonymous with elites, and not everyone is qualified to become a ninja.

If a village only focuses on the number of ninjas and begins to ignore the quality of the ninjas themselves, it means the degradation of the ninja village.

"Hokage-sama, making the exam more difficult is not a problem. The problem is that most ninjas don't have time to practice. What's more, even if they have free time, many ninjas will only use it to relax and wait for the next mission to come.

"

This is the normal state of Konoha ninjas.

After graduating and becoming a genin, you have very little time to practice.

Most of the time, under the leadership of the captain, they have to go out to perform tasks and run around for life.

Occasionally, when I have a vacation, I will use it to rest and dissipate the fatigue during the mission, and then take on the mission again, repeating these things over and over again.

As a result, the time left for the ninjas to practice will undoubtedly be squeezed and shortened.

According to Shikaku's statistics, on average, each Konoha ninja spends no more than a hundred hours practicing every month.
