The reason why Orochimaru planned the collapse of Konoha was not out of boredom, nor was it caused by simple resentment.
Killing Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third generation Hokage who is regarded as his father, to test his own strength and prove that his ninjutsu is not wrong is one of them.
Observing with your own eyes Sasuke Uchiha, who is regarded as the next reincarnation container, this is the second part.
The real reason why the action must be carried out in the form of launching a war is because of the third point - the development of the "Akatsuki" organization.
Orochimaru, who is also an ambitious man, has always had a certain amount of hostility - or in other words, fear - towards "Akatsuki" in his heart, from the time he learned of the existence of "Akatsuki", joined it, and now left the organization.
Now he has lost the battle with Uchiha Itachi and has withdrawn from the "Akatsuki" organization. Although he is aware of the strength of the main members of this organization and is not prepared to blatantly confront and frame the other party, he is as wise as Orochimaru and naturally has a way.
After decades of peace in the ninja world, all countries have more or less reduced their financial support to ninja villages and reduced their armaments. The improvement of the power map among the major powers and the successive signing of institutional alliances have gradually reduced war conflicts and also reduced the number of war conflicts.
Let these lords feel that the war is beginning to fade away.
I don’t know since when, the lords of many countries have become accustomed to hiring ninjas to resolve disputes, and the "Akatsuki" organization has also developed from this. After all, training ninjas by yourself is very time-consuming and money-consuming. Now that the war is far away, ninjas
The village's role for the country has also begun to decrease. In comparison, hiring ninjas temporarily because of temporary needs is much more cost-effective.
This is not to say that these lords are short-sighted, but that one class is wary of another class. The ninja group is far higher than ordinary people in terms of personal force and wisdom. One country, one village, one name.
Most of the leaders of the Ninja Village maintain a delicate balance, and the leaders of various countries are not willing to let the power of the Ninja Village expand too much.
Furthermore, during peacetime, ninja armaments are vigorously developed, and there is no war to fight. There are a surplus of combatants, and the strength of the ninja village increases rapidly. The corresponding rate of devouring national funds will double. When one day, domestic employment jobs to maintain the livelihood of the ninja village will
If there is not enough, the final result will be either war with neighboring countries to seize resources, or civil strife!
At the same time, if a country continues to develop its military power in peacetime, its neighbors will definitely not feel at ease, and it will eventually turn into a military competition. The hard-earned breathing space after the war will weaken its national power faster and prevent it from developing.
Opportunity.
Therefore, it is inevitable for countries to reduce their military expenditures in peacetime, and it is also inevitable for lords of various countries to gradually develop mercenary organizations that are cheap to hire and do not take time to train when minor conflicts occur. It is not something that one person can reverse with a few words.
Orochimaru is aware of their policies, so he is ready to take actions to remind the lords of various countries that war is not far away!
Orochimaru wants to tell the lords of various countries that even Konoha Village, one of the five great ninja villages, will be attacked one day. Even if this operation fails and cannot destroy Konoha Village, it will not prevent Orochimaru from obtaining Uchi.
At the same time, Ha Sasuke was still able to awaken the lords of various countries and the leaders of various ninja villages, re-increase military funding, expand the construction of ninja villages, and compress the development space of the "Akatsuki" organization.
…………
As the time gradually approached, before nine o'clock in the morning, many villagers who had received the news had already arrived at the gate of Konoha, curiously looking outside the cordon drawn by the Konoha ninjas.
The ninja system is doomed to make it impossible to have a large-scale and open jounin exam. The chunin exam jointly participated by many countries has naturally become a rare large-scale event. The lords of various countries who have received invitations will not be able to come even if they cannot come due to personal reasons.
Distinguished representatives will be sent to watch the game.
After nine o'clock, rows of Konoha ninjas who had been preparing for a long time all arrived. They stood on both sides of the gate in a straddle posture with their hands behind their backs, with serious faces. With the sound of gongs, the leading team
After the Konoha ninjas opened the way, the lords of each country entered the Konoha Village through the gate one by one according to their national strength.
The lords sat in sedan chairs, carried by the accompanying guards, and moved forward slowly amid many curious eyes.
On a building facing the gate, a group of people were silently observing the team entering Konoha Village. One of them was a thin old man wearing a bamboo hat with the word "fire" printed on it. At this time, he suddenly asked the person beside him
One person: “Has the venue been arranged properly?”
"It has been arranged." Hinashiri, who was half a step behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, replied in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slowly. Originally, the lords from all over the world were watching the competition in the main building of the examination venue, but he suddenly decided yesterday to change the location to an outdoor open-air venue.
.
Although there was a lot of confusion in Mingzu Lei Tong's heart, he still followed Sarutobi Hiruzen's order and quickly arranged the venue.
Ignoring his subordinate's thoughts, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes shifted from the sedan chair occupied by the lords of various countries to the accompanying guards with complicated eyes.
The reason for changing the position of the lord to watch the game is actually very simple. It is just to let Orochimaru's Oto Ninja Village ninjas and his accomplices use rat weapons.
No matter which ninja village Orochimaru's collaborator is, its purpose must be to develop itself and attack Konoha at the same time, not to perish with Konoha.
This gives the opponent a bottom line. Even if they launch a surprise attack during the Chunin Exam, they will not dare to massacre the audience, especially celebrities. Otherwise, it will easily cause panic among these people. The purpose of attacking Konoha should also be to start a war against the village.
reputation and prestige, but the village that did this kind of thing can't even hope to leave a good impression among celebrities from all over the world - the Ninja Village, which makes a living by undertaking missions, has been labeled a "terrorist organization", with negative consequences.
It goes without saying how big it is.
To put it bluntly, Sarutobi Hiruzen's purpose was to make these lords "hostages" in his hands, so he arranged them in a conspicuous position in the examination room.
This approach is actually dangerous. If the enemy's purpose is not as Sarutobi Hiruzen suspected, but for the development of his own village, and massacres are carried out during the operation, even if Konoha Village wins afterwards, it will inevitably be burdened with the responsibility of failing to protect it.
His prestige was greatly reduced. At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt somewhat relieved when he saw the guards brought by these lords. Although there were few jounin-level ninjas among them, they were somewhat useful.
"The number of people in the Chuunin Exam examination room can also be reduced," Hiruzen Sarutobi thought silently: "Otherwise, the combatants in the village will be too nervous."
