To put it bluntly, this group of Kumo ninjas did nothing but make their own village full of food. Originally, after the war, this group of Kumo ninjas should have retreated back to the village.
.
In the absence of a war, if thousands of troops were deployed at the border all the time, the logistics in the village would be completely unsustainable. Let these people return to the village and then perform various tasks to earn money for the village.
Extra money is what you should do.
In fact, since the end of the war last year, these Kumo ninjas have not only needed to be prepared for an almost impossible Konoha counterattack at the beginning, but also can better swallow the entire country of Yu. They temporarily stay on the front line and stay behind.
But there was still no intention of all withdrawing to the village. It was not until the end of last year that these cloud ninjas began to mobilize and transfer in batches. This was not information worthy of attention at first.
Onoki didn't pay much attention at first.
It wasn't until Lao Zi, a veteran Iwa ninja who was specially sent by Ohnoki to the eastern front line of his own Ninja Village, sent back the news that there seemed to be movement among the Kumo ninjas that Ohnoki realized that these guys from Kumoyin Village were safe.
It’s time to shift the target to their Iwagakure Village!
"It's only been a little over half a year since last year's collision. Which fourth-generation Raikage can't bear it now?"
Even the general came with a surprised look at this moment. Although he had previously asked his Tsuchikage-sama to join forces with the Kirigakure Village to send a wanted notice to the ninja world for 'Uchiha Obito', he didn't really feel that Kumogakure
, Konoha will definitely take the initiative to care about 'Uchiha Obito', but you also think it can at least attract the attention of some of the two major ninja villages, right?
Now it seems like it has no effect at all.
'Do you have an ulterior motive, or do you really not care about Obito at all?'
Shoji secretly thought in his heart, but considering the initial attitude of the five major ninja villages towards the Akatsuki organization in the original work, Shoji would probably prefer the latter.
At most, Konoha will pay more attention to it. After all, Konoha is the direct victim of the Nine-Tails Rebellion. No matter how stupid Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo are, they will definitely be wary of Obito, but other ninja villages may not.
.
'Yes, that must be the case. After all, this is the news we took the initiative to release. If people can believe it, there will be ghosts. From this point of view, whether it is Kumogakure or Sunagakure Village, they should have a similar view.
It's really a bit pretentious.'
There was a hint of understanding in the depths of Shoji's pupils, and he shook his head in amusement. He had some preconceptions, but Kumogakure and Sunagakure wouldn't think of Obito that way.
When the intelligence was released, it even directly stated that their goal was to capture the nine tailed beasts of the five great ninja villages. No one would believe it 100%, and even the Kirigakure Village and Konoha must be dubious.
'This is the human heart.'
In an instant, so many thoughts went through Jiang Si's mind.
Ohnoki, Huang Tu, Lao Zi and others naturally did not notice it. Now their attention is focused on the movements of Kumo Hidden Village. The current situation in the ninja world is one surpassing the top four, but three
A strong and weak situation.
You only need to maintain the most basic vigilance towards Sunagakure and Kirigakure. The latter is still considered an ally of their Iwagakure Village, needless to say, but Konoha and Kumogakure are different, especially the latter.
, the Fourth Raikage is a rough war maniac comparable to his father, the Third Raikage, and every bit of strange information must be taken seriously.
"Isn't this in line with the temperament of the Fourth Raikage? At this point, that guy is even more extreme than his father, the Third Raikage, and the previous information from the village confirmed that the Fourth Raikage
Kage transplanted those Byakugan? With his ninjutsu and the assistance of Byakugan, it is completely foreseeable that this guy's self-confidence will definitely increase. Now he definitely regards our Iwagakure Village as a target. After all, we and Kumogakure
There was a blood feud in the Third War. I don't believe that the Fourth Raikage forgot about it after so many years. This must be a signal that they are going to start a war. Ohnoki, I think we must do it in advance.
Be prepared, it’s best to take action first and seize the opportunity!”
Lao Zi said with a very solemn tone.
It's somewhat similar to Konoha's Danzo.
If you must find a militant with the toughest temper in Iwagakure Village, then this person must be Lao Zi. This is an Iwanin with the purest 'Oiwagakureism' thinking. For him,
, as long as there are any factors that endanger your own Ninja Village, you must deal with them in advance!
In his opinion, since Yunyin Village has fully prepared for war, Yanyin Village cannot show weakness and must take the lead in taking action. This is in the best interest of Yanyin Village.
"No, we can't conclude this yet. Lord Tsuchikage, I think it needs to be treated with caution. After it is not finalized, I think it is best to exercise restraint!"
Huang Tu on the side shook his head and said in a deep voice.
Even though Lao Zi is the most senior Iwa Ninja senior in the village, and Huang Tu respects Lao Zi very much, when it comes to major external affairs of the village, Huang Tu always sticks to his heart, even in front of others.
The same goes for my Tsuchikage father.
And this is not the first time Huang Tu has opposed Lao Zi's opinions.
After all, in terms of personality, Huang Tu is still a relatively stable type, while Lao Zi is a more radical type. In the past wars and many affairs, the two often had different opinions. The most typical one was the three wars.
When Li had just killed the Third Raikage, Lao Zi's opinion was to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, even if he had to pay a heavier price, to completely defeat Kumo Hidden Village, while Huang Tu saw that his own Ninja Village had failed to invade the Country of Grass.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Worry about being counterattacked by Konoha Hidden Village. The most important point is that although the third generation Raikage died, he also covered the retreat of most of Kumo Hidden Village's active forces. At that time, it was strange
Rabbi can already use the power of the eight-tailed ox-demon relatively perfectly, and the strength of the fourth generation Raikage Ai has also steadily entered the shadow level.
Considering that the Third Raikage caused tragic damage to his own Iwa Ninja army.
Naturally, Huang Tu suggested not to pursue anymore and to maintain a relatively restrained posture.
After Ohnoki considered it at his own discretion and listened to the opinions of Iwazetsu, Date, Ogata, Akato and others in the village, he also chose to call it quits. This time, when facing the issue of Yunyin Village, Loess once again stood on the opposite side of Lao Zi.
above.
"You are still so cautious, Loess Boy. It is true that you are not 100% sure that Yunyin Village has such an intention, but you have to understand that by the time everything is revealed, it will be too late. Let Yunyin Village take over the war.
What does dominance mean? Do you need to say more? Loess boy!"
Regarding Loess's opposition, Lao Zi was not surprised at all. To put it bluntly, in the past, Loess had never chosen to agree with the village's more radical external strategies in the past, including the previous ones with Sunagakure Village, Konoha
In the war between the two countries, if you insist on talking about it, Huang Tu always held opposing opinions. In the end, he seemed to obey the orders, but in fact he reserved his personal opinions.
On this point, Shoji is also deeply touched. This is a figure who can be regarded as belonging to the Lord Harmony Sect in Yanyin Village. Of course, this "Master Harmony Sect" is only compared to Lao Zi, and Loess is not that kind of person.
Those who blindly choose to give in, or see the opportunity coming but let it pass, just hope that they can choose a safer strategy.
Without a 70% to 80% certainty, it is not recommended that your own village take the initiative, as the risks you have to bear will be too high.
Luo Tu is not a person who will take the initiative to develop, but he must be the kind of stable and conservative person. You can't expect Luo Tu to bring much benefit to the village, but he can do it with a high probability to prevent the village from suffering what it doesn't deserve.
For certain losses, all risks will be controlled to a minimum. If we want to find a similar person in today's ninja world, it would be the Third Hokage of Konoha Hidden Village - Sarutobi Hiruzen. Of course,
He is the younger version of the Third Hokage. While he is cautious, he is also decisive when necessary, instead of being indecisive on some important occasions and matters!
The two completely opposite opinions made Ohnoki's brows instantly frown. Based on Ohnoki's true intentions, he was of course more inclined to side with his son, and took the initiative to confront Kumogakure without being 100% sure.
Putting pressure on the village, or even launching a war, requires taking great risks.
Not to mention that they had just fought with Konoha and Sunagakure not long ago. They need to be vigilant and alert at all times to these two great ninja villages. Just the size and heritage of Kumogakure itself, Ohnoki has to weigh it carefully.
Two.
Don't talk about the covenant with Kirigakure Village. It sounds ugly, but it may be slightly more useful than waste paper. It's not that the covenant is completely a joke, but it needs to be determined by the occasion and the timing!
This covenant with Kirigakure Village can be used as a certain bargaining chip to put pressure on the other three ninja villages, but it must not be used as a trump card for one's own ninja village. When considering major external affairs, it must be excluded.
Just consider this!
"General, what do you think?"
Lao Zi and Huang Tu both expressed their opinions.
Ohnoki's attention naturally shifted to Shoji who was standing aside.
"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage, my opinion is that I generally agree with Huang Tu-san's opinion. At the current stage, our Ninja Village still needs to temporarily choose to recuperate instead of taking the initiative to attack again. The reasons are except for the point mentioned by Huang Tu-san just now.
In addition, there are two other points. The first point is that the village has just ended its conflict with Konoha. It also fought with Sunagakure Village a year ago. If it fights Kumogakure again in a short period of time,
If the village goes to war, not to mention the external influence, there may still be some degree of internal problems. The second point is some research in our village, especially the chakra armor, which has reached a critical moment. The next step is to measure the
As long as we can make the equipment of our rock ninjas look brand new, the combat effectiveness will definitely skyrocket visibly. Even if we want to attack, we have to wait until then, not now!"
Before Onoki spoke, Shoji had already made a draft in his mind, so he could directly reply immediately.
These words made Huang Tu look happy. At the same time, Lao Zi's expression darkened slightly, and the eyes looking at the general seemed to become a little unkind.
Onoki also nodded slightly.
Most of the time, most things.
Although the most important thing is to look at the pros and cons, it definitely does not mean that these two are the only absolute criteria.
Some factors that may have an impact, both inside and outside, need to be taken into consideration.
Especially when it comes to such major diplomatic and military strategy issues between countries, we need to treat them with caution.
"Well, indeed, but Shoji, you said that you generally agree with Huang Tu's opinion. Does that mean you have other additional opinions?"
While Ohnoki nodded, he also showed a faint smile. He looked at Shoji and keenly caught the slight differences in Shoji's words just now.
"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage, it is not feasible to take the initiative for the time being, but our attitude also needs to be shown. Sometimes being indifferent is likely to increase the arrogance of the opponent, making them think that we don't know, or that they know.
If we don't have any scruples, it will only make things worse. We still need to let Yunyin Village feel the pressure to a certain extent. At this point, I think we can start from the Snow Country, and by the way, we can also bring in the fog.
Hidden Village, it’s not a war with real swords and guns anyway, I think the Mizukage-sama will abide by the covenant with this request!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Shoji smiled slightly and said softly.
"Snow Country?"
"Mist Hidden Village?"
Onoki raised his eyebrows.
Loess and Lao Zi on both sides also showed varying degrees of contemplation.
"Show an attitude, right? I understand what you mean, General. This is indeed a very good choice."
Some things don't need to be said clearly, just a few seconds of thinking.
Onoki reacted immediately.
Since it is not very convenient for our own Ninja Village to take the initiative at this stage, then using external forces is a very good choice.
"I agree!"
Huang Tu also immediately voted ‘yes.’
Of course, Lao Zi still looked dissatisfied. In his opinion, this approach was still too 'weak'.
"I don't think it's feasible. This can be used as an auxiliary method, but it is definitely not enough to be used as the main method. What kind of virtues are Kumo ninjas? Ohnoki, you should know very well that the third generation Raikage who died in our hands was
The best example, do you think this level of pressure will be effective? No, I think it will be counterproductive. I still think we should take the initiative on the eastern front, at least to suppress the arrogance of the Kumo ninja!"
Lao Zi still insisted on his opinion.
Although he is not the kind of person who completely advocates violence as the only way to solve all problems, in the relationship between Ninja Village, violence must be the best way.
Only if you show the strongest strength and toughest attitude, other ninja villages will not dare to provoke you. This is Lao Zi's concept.
It is also the will of the rock that he inherited and has always firmly believed in!
"Old Zisang, the arrogance of Yun Ninja must be suppressed, and we can't really relax our vigilance towards Yunyin Village. Although I have never come into contact with that fourth-generation Raikage, I have heard and understood it.
He is indeed a very rough and direct war maniac, but I also believe that this fourth generation Raikage will not start a war without any scruples, from the earliest partial collision with Konoha, and the subsequent melee of three villages in which we participated.
It can be seen that this fourth-generation Raikage will actually tend to assess the situation and then make appropriate judgments. Under the current situation, the probability of Yunyin Village taking the initiative to launch an attack in the short term is not high!"
"And to put it bluntly, if they really take action, it will be a good thing."
Before Onoki frowned and was about to speak.
The general was one step ahead, looking at Lao Zi on the left with a faint smile and said this.
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Lao Zi also raised his eyebrows, looking at General and saying this with a hint of aggressiveness.
"Because the impact of the situation in the ninja world, intuitively, is the attitude problem of Konoha, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure Village!"
The general replied quickly.
"The situation in the ninja world?"
Lao Zi's face changed, as if he understood, but also seemed a little confused.
"Our limelight is too great, old Zisang, don't you think this is a little similar to the Konoha of the past? Appropriate weakness and concessions can allow us to take real dominance. That fourth-generation thunder
Doesn't Kage really want to replace Konoha as the number one ninja village and dominate the ninja world? We might as well give him a push and light another fire for his inflated self-confidence, and in the end this fire will burn out
Which direction we go will depend on the future situation!"
The general continued calmly.
You can, or you must show a certain degree of strength, so that it is in line with the traditional style of their Yanyin Village, but it is not really too rough, because that will easily make the situation more rigid, and take the initiative to be frontal.
Attacking on the battlefield is currently an undesirable option, not to mention that some of the important weapons and equipment in our ninja village are still in the critical stage of research and development and installation.
Even if everything is really prepared, when it comes time to take the initiative, Shoji will only suggest that his Ninja Village should give priority to Sunagakure Village, and the persimmons have to be picked with soft ones. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to take the initiative to pick Konoha or Kumogakure first.
Village attack.
Of course, this is not an absolute conclusion. After all, the choice and judgment of strategy and tactics still require specific situations and specific analysis. In the current situation, it is not appropriate for our own Ninja Village to take the initiative and infinitely magnify the consequences brought by Yunyin Village.
Threat, this is the best choice.
It can be said that Lao Zi was still a little dissatisfied with Shoji's remarks, but Onoki and Huang Tu both showed admiration on their faces and nodded lightly.
"Well, what Jiangsi said makes sense, so just do what Jiangsi said!"
Onoki also made a decision straight away, and the look of satisfaction in his eyes looking in the direction of Shoji became more and more intense.
"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage!"
The general also bowed and saluted in reply.
Huang Tu, who was sitting next to him, nodded in agreement one after another. Although Lao Zi was still a little reluctant, he was not the kind of reckless person, and he could still tell that there was some truth in what Jiang Si said.
Here I am.
When Onoki has already made a final decision.
Lao Zi just showed an expression that was not very refreshing, and didn't say much. He showed an attitude of clearly reserving his own opinions, but also obeying orders. This is why Lao Zi repeatedly contradicted Ohnoki several times.
, they often have different political opinions, but Onoki still values Lao Zi very much.
This is an Iwa nin who is powerful but also knows how to measure himself!
The next four people also made strategies around the general.
Carry out further detailed discussions.
Kirigakure Village is easy to say, just let people put on a show to intimidate Kumogakure Village, but Snow Country needs careful planning.
After all, ever since the news was deliberately exposed in Konoha Hidden Village, there have been traces of Kumo ninjas in Snow Country. How to use this to put pressure on Kumo Hidden Village needs to be carefully thought out. The speed here must be
Take control!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Shoji has obviously considered everything.
The detailed plan further proposed also won Onoki's approval, which made Onoki's eyes gradually become firmer.
In Ohnoki's view, this is the thinking and overall view that a person who leads a village should have. Although he valued and admired Shoji very much in the past, and believed that Shoji had the ability to become his successor, he was still a little worried about Shoji's young age.
He is energetic and prone to making impulsive judgments in the face of the overall situation. Now it seems that his worries are unnecessary. Although Shoji is young, he always maintains a calm and rational attitude.
When should you be aggressive?
When should you exercise caution and restraint?
Shoji can see clearly that this is enough to entrust a village with important tasks. Yes, in the eyes of Onoki now, Shoji is already qualified to become a Tsuchikage. What their Iwagakure Village needs is such a leader!
'Looks like it's time to make a decision!'
Ohnoki glanced at his son on the left side as if casually. A ray of regret first flashed in the depths of his pupils, and was soon replaced by a ray of determination. At this moment, Ohnoki felt deep in his heart.
The sky has completely turned to Shoji's side. Onoki, who no longer has any hesitation, has already decided to let Shoji become the Fourth Tsuchikage. However, making a decision is one thing, and it is still necessary to let Shoji succeed him.
For a period of time, whether it is sorting out the inside of the village or reporting to the daimyo, it will still take some time. In addition, Shoji is indeed too young. Onoki himself feels that even if everything goes well, it will still take some time.
At least we have to wait until the general reaches 20 years old and officially becomes an adult.
By that time, everything should fall into place.
'It's also your fault for not working hard, you brat, I gave you a chance!'
Onoki glanced at his son again with a bit of a "hating that iron cannot be made into steel", and thought a little helplessly in his heart. If he really wanted to act from his heart, he would definitely hope that his son could inherit the position of Tsuchikage.
, but now it seems that Shoji is more suitable, and knowing a son is like a father, Onoki himself actually understands that his son is not very willing to become a Tsuchikage.
If he really had that heart, Ohnoki could have abdicated and let Huang Tu take over as early as the end of the Third War. It can only be said that everything happened by such a coincidence.
Onoki shook his head slightly in his mind and thought.
