Therefore, before Iwagakure Village was very arrogant and seized almost all strategic points of the Country of Grass, and also required Kusugakure Village to provide a lot of materials, as well as a certain degree of manpower support, everyone in Kusugakure Village was filled with hatred.
It's just that at that time, Iwagakure Village was so powerful that it once invaded the territory of the Land of Fire and captured the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold. It almost seemed to completely suppress Konoha, so that Sogakure Village did not dare to make any dangerous moves, but
Now that the Iwa ninja have been defeated on the frontline battlefield and Konoha has made a comeback, Kusagakure Village is a little unable to restrain its little thoughts.
The Kusugakure Village started to make some moves, but they still restrained themselves. After all, Konoha did not directly invade the Country of Grass. Although the Kusugakure Village was tempted, they still did not have the courage. However, from the current situation, they
It can be seen that if Konoha really continues to mobilize troops, and it is a large-scale action, Kusagakure Village and the southern Sunagakure Village may not be able to restrain it. The probability of these two ninja villages taking action is 10%.
High.
This is also why Onoki personally went out and headed directly towards the Country of Grass. Although the situation is okay for now, Onoki wants to ensure that it cannot collapse further. This will not even affect the fat of the Country of Grass in his mouth.
If he vomits it out again, then their Iwagakure Village will really lose their blood to the end. The reason why he only brought the direct ANBU Shadow Guards here is because of his confidence in his own strength. As long as he goes to the front line, he can improve his own ninjas.
The morale of Kusugakure Village and the Konoha ninjas across the border were further frightened.
The second is that when the forces on the eastern border cannot be used and some troops must be prepared for emergency use, the remaining troops are only enough to support the southern fortress. Compared with Caoyin Village, Sunagakure Village
If one really dares to be evil and launches a battle to recapture the fortress at all costs, Iwagakure Village will be under great pressure.
The relationship between the five major countries is so delicate and tense.
The truth is that except for the Kirigakure Village, which is a lonely continent, there is no need to worry too much about being surrounded. The remaining four major ninja villages have more or less similar concerns. At most, they are not as exaggerated as Konoha Hidden Village.
.
Apart from these two ninja villages, the one who had the biggest reaction was naturally Yunyin Village, who thought they could watch the 'big show' for a while longer, the second battle for the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold between Konoha and Iwa ninja.
, ended with this result.
This is a point that the Kumogakure side is very dissatisfied with. The fourth generation Raikage Ai and Todai still expected to see the two great ninja villages engage in a more brutal fight. Each side only suffered two to three thousand casualties. Far from it.
Far from meeting the expectations of the Fourth Raikage Ai!
This number of casualties must be at least doubled, right? After all, this is another fierce battle involving the three major ninja villages after the Third Ninja War. With such a few casualties, are you Konoha and Iwagakure embarrassed?
From the perspective of the Fourth Raikage, Iwa Ninja's initiative to retreat, and Konoha's restraint in the border area, not re-entering the Land of Grass is a 'shame'!
It can be said that this really belongs to the type of standing and talking without back pain. Of course, from the perspective of the interests of Kumogakure Village, the Fourth Raikage does have 'reason' to be angry. After all, Iwagakure and Konoha do not want to develop further.
With the fierce fighting, they in Yunyin Village would not be able to enjoy the benefits.
And in the current situation, Yunyin Village also has some meaning of pushing forward the dilemma, but this does not refer to the objective situation of Yunyin. After all, the benefits that should be obtained have basically been obtained. Even if we give up here, Yunyin
The village is still the biggest profiteer in this war. Without paying any price, it is to get a pair of pure Byakugan and expand the scope of interests of the Ninja Village in the country of Yu. It is really a mouthful.
It means that Ai, the fourth generation Raikage, has a feeling in his heart that he is neither above nor below. He is unwilling to take a step back, but he feels that the risk is a bit high when he takes a step forward.
It can be said that at this moment, the psychology of the fourth generation Raikage Ai is the most subtle one. Of course, Tudai is also the moment in Kumogakure Village where he knows the psychology of his Raikage best. He can even be 100% sure that his Raikage has a high probability.
I tend to take one step forward!
Not because of anything.
Just because all generations of Raikage are representatives of aggressiveness, and this is more vividly reflected in the fourth generation of Raikage, therefore, the role that Todai has always played is to admonish his own Raikage at critical moments, but this
For once, Todai no longer intends to suppress the 'barbaric impulse' of his Raikage-sama!
In the Kingdom of Tang, in the stronghold of Tangquan Mountain.
"What do you mean? Now we can directly intimidate a wave of frontier mountain strongholds? When all the Iwa ninjas retreat?"
The Fourth Raikage Ai frowned slightly, looked at the earthen platform opposite him, and asked with a suspicious look on his face.
"Yes, Lord Raikage, not all members of the Iwa Ninja side have retreated. The Third Tsuchikage even came to the front line in person. This proves that the Iwa Ninja side must still be unwilling to fail like this. Now as long as we stimulate it a little, Iwa Ninja will
It is very likely that Shinobi will start a new war. The number of fighting Iwa Shinobi gathered in the Grass Country is still 5,000. What's more, we also need to press hard on Konoha to prevent Konoha from this war.
They are unwilling to hand over the Fengzuo Mountain stronghold to us again. In that case, Konoha will still place a nail in the Yuno Country area, which will threaten our village's interests in Yuno Country to a certain extent.
This is often not feasible. Let’s not talk about the subsequent actions for the moment. We must at least capture the Fengqi Mountain area first. The minimum requirement must be to ensure that our village completely dominates the interests of the entire Kingdom of Tang. In this way, even in the end
If the war ends in this way, our village will be able to achieve almost the profit goals that it set before the war!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tutai nodded and said in a very calm tone.
Just as Iwagakure must take advantage of this opportunity to capture the entire Country of Grass, Kumogakure's initial goal is also very pragmatic and is set to seize the entire Country of Yu. Byakugan is truly the biggest surprise that is unexpected.
There is a profit, but even with the Byakugan Blood Successor as compensation, from a national strategic level, the most important thing is to let the power of your own ninja village radiate to the entire country of Yu!
After all, only by doing this can we truly ensure that in the future war situation, Cloud Hidden Village can overlook Konoha Hidden Village. The process and results are hard to say, but in the early stages of the war, the dominance between each other is certain.
It fell on their side of Yunyin Village.
Therefore, on this point, Yunyin Village will never give in. Even if it requires paying a certain price, Fengge Mountain will definitely be captured. Tutai sees this very clearly and firmly.
As for whether Konoha will react more violently, that is not a matter that Dodai will worry about at all. If they had to fight Konoha one-on-one without the intervention of other ninja villages, their Kumoyin Village side would
It is true that there is not much certainty, but it is different now. In the previous collision with Iwagakure Village, Konoha Hidden Village had already suffered some losses. The current Kumogakure Village is really not false at all, let alone the tentative decision.
The goal is only to seize the stronghold area around Fengqi Mountain!
Dodai still couldn't believe that the nearly 10,000 Konoha ninja legions sent to the Western Front battlefield could be dispatched back so easily and quickly, and as long as the Iwagakure Village did not withdraw its troops for one day, those Konoha ninjas on the Western Front battlefield would be
It was impossible to mobilize too much, especially when the third Tsuchikage arrived at the front line.
Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, will also be left there. The battle strength of Tianping is completely tilted towards their Kumo ninja side. When invading the Fire Country, there is still one thing to worry about, which is to completely capture the strongholds in the Fengzui Mountain area.
no need to worry!
"Well! I understand what you mean, so I will immediately order the army to press forward, and then immediately send a special person to contact Konoha, giving them a limit of three days to vacate the Fengqi Mountain stronghold, otherwise, this Raikage will
Go get it yourself!”
After all, there is still an agreement that has not actually been signed but has come into effect. The Fourth Raikage will not rush forward in a real hurry. Three days is enough for Konoha to pass the news back and forth, and it is also just enough for his own army.
Completely press forward and surround the strongholds in the Fengge Mountain area. Anyway, as soon as three days are up, no matter whether Konoha refuses or delays, the fourth generation Raikage will lead the troops of his own ninja village to launch a brazen attack.
With him leading the team, five thousand Kumo ninjas under his command, and the two-tailed Jinchūriki being composed of Bokuto, the Fourth Raikage Ai really didn't believe that a mere Fengzuishan stronghold could block his offensive, unless Konoha was again
A very strong reinforcement force was dispatched in advance, otherwise, the Fengwu Mountain stronghold would have been regarded as his own by the Fourth Raikage.
Their Yeyue clan is so domineering!
"Yes, Lord Raikage!"
Tutai also suddenly lowered his head and bowed in response.
One step forward and one step back, one step tight and one step loose.
The triangular relationship seems stable, but in fact it is also very tense. The tension between the three major ninja villages has been fully revealed in less than a month.
As soon as Iwagakure Village retreated, Kumogakure Village moved forward to press forward. They clearly said that they were working together to form a military alliance, but in this situation, their ugliness was fully revealed. However, this is the most true portrayal of the decades of history of the ninja world.
If there were really two ninja villages that could work together, Konoha would have been completely suppressed or even destroyed in the three previous ninja wars.
This is the so-called friendship between great powers, only eternal interests. You must know that the first Hokage distributed tailed beasts, and did not even care about the face of the strongest ninja in the world. On top of the Five Kage Conference, he faced
The other four shadows knelt down and kowtowed, using their most sincere words to pray for a peaceful development together. Less than ten years had passed. After the death of the first Hokage, the war once again spread to the entire continent.
Therefore, a world of mutual understanding is the most naive and ridiculous words. Human beings will always strive only for themselves and everything they value.
As soon as the Kumo ninja started taking action, the Konoha ninjas in the stronghold around Mount Fengzui immediately detected that this was not a small-scale operation, but a large-scale invasion military operation, which instantly shocked the Konoha ninjas in the stronghold.
One by one, they were facing a formidable enemy. Nara Suzaku, the commander of the stronghold, and Yamanaka Haiichi rushed to the forefront of the stronghold as soon as possible. They happened to have received the message from Kumo Ninja.
information.
These Konoha ninjas are required to abide by the previous 'peace agreement', give up the stronghold on the front line of Mount Fengzu within three days, and return all members to the Kingdom of Fire. After three days, if they still occupy the stronghold of Mount Fengzu, everything will
The consequences will all be borne by Konoha itself.
"Hundan, didn't you agree to hand it over to them after the end of June? Now you are so eager to force us to hand over the stronghold? What does it mean to bear the consequences? Isn't this the threat of Chi Guoguo?"
On the side, as the most outstanding member of the younger generation of the Yamashiro clan in Konoha Hidden Village, Yamashiro Aoba, who has just been promoted to a special jounin, said with an angry look at this moment, young people are always easy to be angry, especially
Aoba and his group are still in their early 20s. They have just experienced the third ninja war. Their own ninja village has repeatedly defeated the major ninja villages and won the ninja war again. The young generation has achieved brilliant results. Deep down in their hearts,
Pride is extremely high, when facing such a menacing threat from other ninja villages.
These young people are often the ones who can't accept it the most.
"This is indeed a threat, and it is a just right threat. This fourth-generation Raikage is determined that we in Konoha cannot really fight against their Kumoyin Village at this juncture. It is indeed true that he was caught at this time.
It’s clever enough!”
Nara Suzaku shook his head slightly. His face seemed to remain relatively calm, but there was also a hint of anger in the depths of his pupils.
"It is better to report to the Hokage immediately. In addition, we also need to make some preparations in advance so that we will not panic when necessary."
Standing side by side with Suzaku Nara, Hai Yamanaka also had a look of helplessness in his eyes, and nodded slightly.
"What? Be prepared in advance. Do we really want to give up the Fengqi Mountain stronghold so easily? We have already given up the Zhuquesan, Haiyisang, and Tangquanshan strongholds. If we lose them here, the entire Tang Country will be destroyed in the future.
There is no longer a place for us in Konoha. If that happens, the future strategy will become very bad, and Lord Hokage will definitely..."
Yamashiro Aoba's expression changed when he heard the words of his two seniors, and he spoke these words impulsively.
"Aoba-kun, no one said that we must give up the Fengqi Mountain stronghold. All judgments must be obeyed by the Hokage-sama's orders. We just want to make some necessary preparations in advance!"
Yamanaka Haiichi looked at Yamashiro Aoba with a very serious expression and said, "A lot of times, even if you really want to do this next, you can never say it so straightforwardly on the surface.
When can you say it and when can you do it? This is the basic quality and capacity that an adult should have. Aoba only reacted after his words were interrupted by Haiyi and realized that he had made a mistake.
After that, his expression changed again and he became silent again.
After seeing Aoba understand the deeper meaning of this, Haiichi's expression also softened a lot. Although like Shikaku, Haiichi still has some specific strategies deep in his heart regarding the governing philosophy of his third-generation Hokage.
There are some criticisms, but in the end they can only be limited to the depths of his own heart. As a Hokage who has been in charge of Konoha Hidden Village longer than the other three Hokage combined, whether you are willing to admit it or not, Sarutobi
Hiruzen really has a high prestige in the Hidden Leaf Village!
The wealthy ninja clan can understand some of the high-level dynamics, and naturally they can clearly distinguish the personality of their Hokage-sama, but the vast majority of small and medium-sized ninja clan, as well as the huge civilian ninja class, really combine the three generations.
If Naruto exists like a god, it can be said that in the past thirty years or so, Hiruzen Sarutobi has been a king-level existence in running the Hidden Leaf Village, regardless of whether he has accomplished anything else.
This is why Shoji didn't choose to rebel and seize power when he found out that he couldn't take the high-level path. Instead, he directly led the clan to leave Konoha. It's very simple. Rebellion and seizing power is a dead end. The most direct reason is that even if he embodies
When all the powerful ninja clans choose to remain neutral, the Third Hokage can still directly order nearly 10,000 civilian ninjas to encircle and suppress their Uchiha clan!
Shoji doesn't have even half the strength of his ancestor Uchiha Madara in his heyday. Leaving the village is the most correct choice. If he really chooses to start a rebellion and face a head-on confrontation, what will happen to Konoha? Shoji doesn't know, but they Uchiha
The Bo clan must be destroyed just like in the original work. No matter how strong the Mangekyō and Susana are, without Uchiha Madara's strength and limited chakra, even if there are three pairs of Mangekyō, the result will still be the same.
As the leader of the Yamazaka clan who is closest to the Third Hokage, Haiichi is also very aware of the high status of the Third Hokage in the village. He does not want some of his younger companions to give him a hard time because of their careless words.
Bring some unnecessary trouble.
At this moment, Haiichi really had the same idea as Shikaku that the third generation of his family was really not suitable to continue to sit in the position of Hokage.
'I hope Shikaku can convince Lord Jiraiya, that Lord is the one most suitable to lead the village forward at the moment!'
Haiichi looked towards the west, and the figures of Nara Shikaku and Jiraiya could not help but appear in the depths of his mind.
At this moment, far away on the Western Front battlefield, Jiraiya and Shikaku, who were being talked about by Haiichi, also happened to receive orders from their own ninja village.
As Shikaku expected, or in other words, this was part of Shikaku's original plan. After the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold was captured and the Iwa Ninja army passively retreated back to the Land of Grass, the Third Hokage issued the order.
An order for the army on the Western Front to stop at the border.
Moreover, he directly told Jiraiya and Shikaku that the village intended to restart peace negotiations with Iwagakure Village. The next step was not to use war, but to use diplomatic means to end and resolve the dispute between the two villages.
It can be said that this is not beyond Jiraiya and Shikaku's expectations. Of the two of them, one knows his teacher's character very well. The almost thirty-year master-disciple relationship is no joke, and the other is the top teacher in the village.
A smart person, even though he has been in close contact with his Hokage-sama for just a few years, can see some things more clearly than the former.
"This is really old man style, but it's okay. If the war continues, it will cause great damage to the village. There is still a problem of Kumo ninja in the Northeast that has not been resolved."
Jiraiya glanced at the message scroll passed from the village, smiled softly, put it aside, and said so.
"Shikaku!"
"Yes, Lord Jiraiya!"
Shikaku, who was in the next position, also walked out with a calm look on his face.
"The next communication with the Iwa Ninja will be left to you. Although the third Tsuchikage has also come to the front line in person, there is a high probability that it is mainly about deterrence. We should reach an armistice agreement with the Iwa Ninja as soon as possible.
, in this way, we can easily mobilize as much of our troops as possible back to the village, and the cloud ninjas on the northeast side are starting to get ready to move again."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The armistice agreement does not mean that the war is truly over. If we really want to return to the previous peaceful situation, we must sign a series of peace terms agreements with each other.
Then when both sides withdraw their troops from each other, this will mean the war is officially over.
It's just that the armistice agreement is a precondition. Once an agreement can be reached, the relationship between the two parties can be further eased, which will also be conducive to Konoha's subsequent strategic adjustment. In the northeast, should there be a fight or restraint?
Konoha would have a certain degree of room for maneuver if he chose to agree to Kumo Ninja's conditions.
"Yes, Lord Jiraiya, I understand!"
Of course, Shikaku would not question the order issued by the third-generation master in his village. What's more, for Shikaku, he also felt that the most important thing was to end the war mode with the two major ninja villages as soon as possible. Sacrifice
Interests that are not so necessary are within the acceptable range.
Their village now needs a period of stable development, and the most important thing is that only when external problems are solved can they focus on dealing with internal problems. Even if the difficulty is very high, Shikaku is determined to just wait for this time.
After everything is over, he will push Jiraiya to become the fifth Hokage of his ninja village!
This is not only his personal wish, but also the expectation of most wealthy ninjas in the entire ninja village!
Never underestimate Shikaku's mobility and wisdom!
During this period of time, he has made some preliminary preparations in advance, waiting for the right time to take official action!
Therefore, he is more focused than anyone else on resolving the dispute with Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja as soon as possible!
