After Danzo frowned and thought for a while, he slowly nodded.
The current situation is indeed not very clear. It is said that a war is very likely to break out, but as long as it does not get to that step, no one dares to make a 100% conclusion. The Fourth Raikage is indeed a representative of roughness and mania, but after all,
It is the shadow of a village.
Many times, especially when it comes to this important strategic judgment moment for Ninja Village, they naturally cannot make corresponding judgments based on superficial factors alone. During this period, more observation is the most important.
"Then let those grass ninjas be handled by my roots, including the subsequent infiltration missions, and let the roots be responsible. I will definitely collect as much information as possible on that day in the shortest possible time!"
Danzo is still the same.
After Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep look at his close friend, he finally nodded slowly. After all, they were just a group of grass ninjas. It was considered his responsibility to leave it to the roots.
"Well, Danzo, you must remember not to exceed a certain limit. These grass ninjas will still have a very important role and significance in the future!"
It's just a verbal reminder to Danzo.
Don't let it get too messy!
"Humph, don't worry!"
Danzo also snorted and replied firmly.
"Shikaku, do you have any other suggestions?"
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi had made his decision in his heart long before calling these people over, he still wanted to hear if his close friends had any other opinions or better ways to do it!
The same goes for calling Shikaku and Haiyi to come over.
After all, I am getting older.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sometimes still worries about whether he has made any omissions.
"Yes, Hokage-sama, I think the Five Kage Conference you proposed is not as good as joining the Kazekage-sama to propose it together. If possible, you can also contact the Mizukage-sama. I think in this way, no matter it is the Raikage-sama,
, or Lord Tsuchikage, the probability of accepting the proposal should be higher, and regarding the issue of the two tails, Lord Hokage might as well make some statements to Lord Raikage."
Lu Jiu had also made preparations in advance.
Although his ideas were very different from those of Sarutobi Hiruzen at the beginning, since the third generation Hokage of his own had already put forward his opinion, Shikaku naturally would not say more about his plan, and just followed Sarutobi Hiruzen's opinion.
The plan is the focus, just expand and add it.
It's not that Shikaku wants to hide his secrets. To put it bluntly, Shikaku's current family and personal status do not allow him to have even the slightest willfulness. It's just because the Uchiha clan left Konohagakure.
village.
And after experiencing the last eye-white incident of the Hyuga clan.
The atmosphere in the village and the relationship between the ninja clan have become very subtle. It is impossible to say that after the Uchiha and Hinata incidents occurred one after another, there was no trace of resentment and fear in the village!
It was inevitable in the original work, let alone in this life?
It can only be said that the Konoha F4 in the original work really had a good life, and there were no major problems, allowing them to transition to the next generation and grow up. Sarutobi Hiruzen also died fighting for Konoha, and at least his posthumous reputation was preserved.
Got it!
But it's different in this life.
Shikaku himself could sense that the atmosphere in the village was becoming more serious and tense than before!
This is one of the biggest reasons why Shikaku desperately hopes that Jiraiya or Tsunade can come back and inherit the position of Hokage!
If you want the ninja clan in Konoha Hidden Village to work together again, it will be difficult for the current Hokage to do it!
Shikaku needs to be cautious in his words and deeds in daily life!
This is not only for himself, but also for the three pig, deer and butterfly tribes!
Naturally, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know what Shikaku was thinking deep down in his heart. It can be said that in terms of IQ alone, there is probably no one in this world who can surpass Nara Shikaku!
The already old Sarutobi Hiruzen is even less likely to see through Shikaku's thoughts.
"Well, this is indeed very reasonable. Then the connection with Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure Village will be handled by you, Shikaku. In addition, Haiichi, pay close attention to the trends of Kumogakure Village and Iwagakure Village.
If there is any change in the two villages, report it to me as soon as possible! No matter when!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who still felt that the three clans of Ino, Deer, and Butterflies headed by Shikaku and Haiichi would still stand by him as the Hokage and firmly support him, after hearing Shikaku's suggestion, he also
His eyes lit up, and he nodded lightly with a touch of satisfaction. Looking at Shikaku, Haiyi and the others said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
Haiyi and Lujiu also suddenly lowered their heads and replied.
if it is possible.
Sarutobi Hiruzen really didn't want to see a new round of ninja war break out. They, Konoha, needed time to recover.
But that doesn't depend on Konoha.
But it depends on the attitude of Iwagakure and Kumogakure.
But even if there is only a slight possibility.
The Third Hokage is determined to fight for the hidden village of Konohagakure with everything he has.
And at this moment.
Yunyin Village is far away in the northeastern corner of the mainland.
It's just a little slower than Sunagakure Village and Konoha Hidden Village, but it's a lot faster than Kirigakure Village. The moment the specific news is received.
That fourth generation Raikage Ai instantly entered the rage mode.
"Hundan!"
"boom!"
The blooming thunder.
There was a foresty aura that permeated the whole body.
Under one palm.
"Crack!"
There was a crashing sound, followed by a 'whining' from the desk that had just been replaced not long ago.
Burst from the middle!
"Crash!"
The fragments broke and fell, and the dust flew into the sky.
Facing that 'sudden death' desk, the fourth generation Raikage Ai's body was filled with an extremely dangerous aura.
It made all the cloud ninjas around feel trembling!
at this moment.
Even Ai's most trusted secretary, Azabu Yi, and Samui didn't dare to speak easily. They knew all too well how terrifying their Raikage-sama was when he was angry!
Usually at this time, there is still a platform to give you some advice.
But now, the only person who can restrain his Raikage Ai is no longer there, and is even likely to be dead.
It is true that no one can dissuade my Raikage-sama at the critical moment.
Want to say something.
But when they met the extremely fierce eyes of the Fourth Raikage, Azabui and Samui couldn't help but tremble, and they swallowed the words that came to their lips.
Go back!
No one dares to bring trouble to their own Raikage-sama in this situation!
Just looking at a pair of obviously white eyes, but you can see a ray of crimson emerging from the depths of his eyes, is enough to understand how angry this Raikage-sama is at this moment!
"Fenghe! Go to Yunlei Gorge immediately and call Bi back!"
"Samyi, immediately order the whole village to enter a state of full combat readiness. Within ten days, I want to see the army ready to set off at any time! Do you understand!?"
A decision made in anger.
When I heard the order from my own Raikage-sama.
Azabu Yi, Samui, and other Kumo ninjas were all frightened and wanted to admonish their own Raikage-sama, but no one dared to speak at this time.
"Yes, Lord Raikage!"
Samui and another middle-aged man who were called by the Fourth Raikage could only bow and bow immediately in response.
War is coming!
This is the common consciousness of all Kumo ninjas in the Raikage's exclusive office at this moment, including Azabui and Samui. This is actually a foreseeable result. Originally, his own ninja village was planning to attack two years ago.
Iwagakure Village!
This special operation is a rehearsal for war!
The initial plan was to see the results of this operation to decide whether the Ninja Village should launch the war immediately or postpone it for a period of time. To put it bluntly, the war itself is inevitable. The only difference is that it will be earlier.
It’s still a little late!
But now the special operations team has suffered a huge failure!
Not to mention the ordinary Kumo ninja below, the most important thing is that the fall of Dodai, Darui, and the two-tailed Jinchuuriki together is a heavy loss. This is Kumogakure Village, and it is a result that the Fourth Raikage cannot accept!
war!
Only war!
Only by completely defeating Yanyin Village on the battlefield can all this be undone!
Of course, Ai, the Fourth Raikage in anger, did not completely get carried away and lose his mind. He knew very well that at this time, the more he needed to make a correct judgment.
"In addition, Azabu Yi, immediately notify Konoha and Sunagakure and tell them that as long as they are willing to send troops together, all conditions can be negotiated!"
Not to mention the power exposed by Yanyin Village before was enough to make them feel fearful and troublesome in Yunyin Village!
In this action.
The successive falls of Tudai, Darui, and Yukito were a wake-up call for the Fourth Raikage, even though he didn't really believe that Uchiha Shoji could be strong enough to jointly defeat two 'tailed beasts'! He
I prefer to believe that the monster is not as strong as it seems.
And his Nitō Mata Brigade was defeated because he was restrained by the Mangekyou Sharingan.
But you still need to make all the necessary preparations!
I won’t mention Sunagakure Village.
In the previous strategy, there was a plan to unite Sunagakure Village and besiege Iwagakure Village, but now they want to take Konoha Hidden Village with them!
Even if you pay a certain price for it.
The Fourth Raikage is also willing!
As long as Iwagakure can be defeated!
The price you pay now can be recovered twice as much in the future!
In this regard, the Fourth Raikage Ai can still carry it very clearly, and when Azabu Yi heard the order from the Fourth Raikage, the worry on his face was much calmer.
Because from here, it can be seen that although the Raikage-sama is angry, he has not really lost his mind.
"Yes, Lord Raikage!"
Just to be sure of this.
That's enough.
Before, Azabu Yi was really worried that his Raikage-sama would lead the army to attack Iwagakure Village regardless of the situation.
"Hmph! Iwagakure! Uchiha Shoji! I will definitely make you regret it!"
After waiting for the sackcloth clothes, Samyi and his subordinates left.
The face of the Fourth Raikage Ai also became extremely ferocious again, and terrifying thunder and lightning bloomed from all over his body!
At this moment, the power of the Fourth Raikage was fully revealed.
This proud fourth generation Raikage would not believe how strong Uchiha Shoji could be. After all, he is just a young boy under 20 years old!
The Mangekyō Sharingan is the tailed beast's restraint effect, which makes it appear so strong!
As for the so-called Susanoo!?
The Fourth Raikage also has enough confidence to defeat him with one punch!
This military action must be launched immediately.
It can be said that almost as soon as the Fourth Raikage gave the order, on the last day of the new year, the entire war machine of Yunyin Village began to spin!
Although it is said that the Fourth Raikage Ai and Todai were planning to attack Iwagakure Village as early as two years ago, some corresponding preparations also started from that period. Before this special operation, it can be said that all the necessary preparations before the war
All conditions are already met!
But after all, personnel transfer cannot be accomplished overnight!
The most important point is that the Fourth Raikage still needs to wait for the reactions of Konoha and Sunagakure.
One after the other.
We have to wait here for at least another three to five days.
Of course, during this period of time, the Fourth Raikage would not wait around. He first issued an order to mobilize the border defense forces and gathered them together first to guard against the sudden attack on the Iwagakure Village's side. At the same time, he also dispatched another ANBU team.
The most elite investigators are sent to conduct further searches!
The Fourth Raikage really felt that it was impossible for a mere Uchiha General to achieve that level by himself!
There must be something fishy here!
In addition, he did not forget to send a special person to issue a declaration of war to Yanyin Village, or the threat would be more accurate.
There is a lot of content.
But it boils down to just three points.
1. Return the earthen platform, Yumu Ren, Darui and others intact.
Second, Yanyin Village must compensate their Yunyin Village for a series of losses.
Three, hand over the culprit Uchiha Shoji!
If not.
That is, only war can solve everything!
Just like what Kumo Hidden Village did to Konoha Hidden Village two years ago.
That time, Konoha, led by Sarutobi Hiruzen, expressed submission, but this time the same trick was used on Iwagakure, but it would have absolutely no effect.
Because Ohnoki is not Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Let alone Shoji, who is about to become the next Tsuchikage of his ninja village and is one of the most important beings in the village. Even if he is the most ordinary Iwa ninja, Onoki will never do such a behavior that humiliates the country and loses his power.
Not to mention that one's own side is responsible for the invasion, it was Qin Yunren who invaded first.
Even if my own ninja village is arrogant and unreasonable.
But Ohnoki is also definitely ‘helping relatives but not helping others’!
This is also the measure and courage that a village leader must have. Even if he is a guilty person, I can only judge him myself, and I can never leave it to outsiders to deal with it!
And it was also when Konoha, Sunagakure, Kirigakure, and most importantly Kumogakure received the news one after another and started taking action accordingly.
Shoji just happened to return to Iwagakure Village with Yumu Ren and the three little ones who were controlled by him!
The problem in Caoyin Village has been completely solved.
Moreover, Yan Jue also led the reinforcements to re-enter Caoyin Village. After the situation stabilized, there was no need for the general to stay there any longer.
With Chitu and Yanjue in charge, they are enough to deal with most problems.
After Onoki learned about the situation, he issued an order for the general to return to his ninja village!
Because after what happened this time, Onoki could guess the next plans of the major ninja villages with his toes!
He also needs to deal with an important matter that has become a settled matter before this!
That is the succession ceremony of Shoji’s fourth generation Tsuchikage!
"Eh? Did you mean tomorrow?"
Shoji, who had just returned to the village, couldn't help himself when he heard that his Tsuchikage-sama actually planned to hold his own succession ceremony on the first day of the new year as originally planned.
He widened his eyes and asked with a hint of surprise.
"Well, the arrangements that need to be made have been prepared before. It is said to be a celebration, but in fact it is a necessary ceremony and process, and it will not take too much time!"
Onoki said with a slight smile.
"But, Third Generation, isn't this period inappropriate? A full-scale war is likely to break out immediately in Yunyin Village. Do you think it would be more appropriate to postpone it later?"
There was also a hint of hesitation on the general's face. After a slight pause, he continued to speak.
"It is precisely because of this period that it is the most suitable."
Onoki looked at Shoji with a gentle look and said in the most firm tone.
"General, it's time for Iwagakure Village to usher in a new era! And you are the one who can lead Iwagakure Village to glory!"
Although according to general thinking, it is not suitable to change the Kage when a full-scale war is likely to break out in Ninja Village. After all, it is not something like the sudden death of the previous Kage.
As long as he is still alive, ninety-nine percent of this situation will require the Kage's abdication and succession ceremony to be carried out after the war!
And looking at it from the worst perspective, you can even consider in advance that if the war fails, the previous shadow can shoulder all the responsibilities and then abdicate, so that the new shadow can take over without any burden.
For example, the abdication of the Third Hokage and the ascendance of the Fourth Hokage have such a subtle meaning in them.
However, be it a general or an Onoki.
But would not consider such a possibility.
fail?
Do not make jokes!
With the current power of Iwagakure Village, unless the power of the whole world is really gathered to encircle and suppress it, other people don't know. Don't Shoji and Onoki still understand the current power of their own Ninja Village!?
Therefore, there is no need to worry about timing or anything like that.
The key point still depends on your own decision.
When Shoji met Ohnoki's eyes, he could clearly see the full trust and expectation in the pupils of his third-generation Tsuchikage-sama.
The general also understood instantly at this moment.
His face became very solemn and serious again.
The general took two steps back, and with the most respectful attitude, facing Ohnoki who was kneeling on one knee with his head slightly lowered, he said sonorously and forcefully: "Yes, I will definitely live up to your expectations, and Iwagakure will definitely set foot in the village."
The top of the ninja world, becoming a unique existence in this world!"
"Um!"
He looked at the young man kneeling in front of him.
Onoki's pupils were full of gentleness.
Ever since he took over the responsibility of the village from his teacher, the Second Tsuchikage Mumu, more than thirty years ago, Onoki has been working hard and sleeping night and day, fearing all the time for fear of living up to the expectations of the First and Second Generations!
It is precisely because of this persistence and caution that Yanyin Village has been able to prosper step by step in the past thirty years, approaching Yunyin Village and Yanyin Village. However, as it grows older, it has become more and more prosperous in the past thirty years.
There has been a problem that has been bothering Ohnoki for ten years.
That is the issue of choosing his successor, the Fourth Tsuchikage!
Even the most outstanding of his own sons, Huangtu, in the eyes of Ohnoki in the past, had very obvious character flaws!
If only his stupid son could make Ohnoki more satisfied, Ohnoki would have abdicated his throne long ago and let Hōto succeed the Fourth Tsuchikage!
You must know that even before the start of the third war, Ohnoki himself was almost sixty years old!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The ninja has long passed its peak and has begun to decline!
Although it is said that because of the super destructive power of Dust Release and the exclusive light and heavy rock technique of his own ninja village, Onoki can soar in the sky.
The overall combat power is still at the strong shadow level.
But after all, as we get older, it’s still easy to feel inadequate!
This is why when I first heard that the Uchiha clan had left Konoha Hidden Village and intended to join Iwagakure Village.
Ohnoki will make a decision so decisively!
For this third-generation Tsuchikage, this is the choice of fate.
What happened later proved the correctness of Onoki's judgment beyond any doubt. Now, their Iwagakure Village has entered the most prosperous period in the history of the village.
Ohnoki can also choose the best successor!
With the New Year's bell about to ring.
The news that the fourth Tsuchikage's succession ceremony would be held on the first day of the new year quickly spread throughout the village.
The moment the ordinary people of Iwagakure Village heard the news.
First he was stunned.
After that, people showed different levels of excitement one after another. To know the last Tsuchikage succession ceremony in their Iwagakure Village, we have to go back to the time when there was no successor to the second generation Tsuchikage more than forty years ago!
The moment when Onoki, the third Tsuchikage, succeeded the Tsuchikage.
Because the second Tsuchikage had just died in battle, and the village was in chaos, there was naturally no need to hold any succession ceremony. The same was true for Sarutobi Hiruzen at this point.
Even after the village stabilized, the ninja world returned to a peaceful situation.
Onoki has also been sitting in the Tsuchikage's position for a long time, so there is no need to hold it again!
So, for the people of Yanyin Village.
This is the second Tsuchikage succession ceremony for the founding of the village.
Moreover, the candidate for the fourth generation is still Uchiha Shoji, who is now famous in the ninja world!
