As the third generation Kage who rose to power at almost the same time.
Onoki actually doesn't think highly of Hiruzen Sarutobi. Of course, this refers to Hiruzen Sarutobi after he became old. At the beginning of his succession, Hiruzen Sarutobi's power and reputation in the ninja world were more than
The Third Kage of each village, even Onoki, including the Third Raikage in his youth, cannot compare with Hiruzen Sarutobi, let alone the Third Kazekage and the Third Mizukage who have almost no sense of existence.
And this was obtained by Hiruzen Sarutobi with his own strength and ability.
Including his title of Ninja Hero.
It's not something he boasts about, but it's actually recognized by the ninja world that Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is proficient in the seven types of escape techniques, did have a tendency to be the best in the ninja world during that period. He was young.
Sarutobi Hiruzen during that period was really qualified to suppress people like Onoki and the Third Raikage in frontal combat!
The second Hokage had just died in battle.
Konoha fell into chaos.
It was also thanks to Sarutobi Hiruzen's decisiveness and iron-blooded methods that he was able to gradually stabilize and then gradually embark on the road to recovery.
Let's just say that from the time Sarutobi Hiruzen first came to the throne, at least until the end of the Second Ninja War, this third generation Hokage was worthy of being called a ninja hero and worthy of being called a hero of Konoha.
Because the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama died in battle and was besieged by the major ninja villages, the Hidden Leaf Village was once almost in decline. It was indeed thanks to Sarutobi Hiruzen that it was able to rise again. This is all because of the monkeys.
Hiruzen’s shining point that cannot be ignored!
During that period, Sarutobi Hiruzen was regarded as the biggest enemy, the most feared, and the most admired being by Onoki.
But the turning point begins with the end of the Second Ninja War!
As soon as he passed his prime, Hiruzen Sarutobi gradually became unbearable when he entered his old age. In the past ten years, Hiruzen Sarutobi made several decisions that Ohnoki thought were extremely stupid.
, Konoha Hidden Village also went into decline step by step.
To this day.
Ohnoki already looked down upon this Kage who was of the same generation as him. Of course, looking down on him is one thing. Ohnoki was also very grateful to Sarutobi Hiruzen, but for the miraculous operation of this Third Hokage.
How could their Iwagakure Village be as glorious as it is today?
In Ohnoki's words, at least one-third of the contribution of the Third Hokage to the rapid rise of his own Ninja Village!
As for the deeper meaning revealed in the words of his third-generation Tsuchikage who has resigned, Shoji can also clearly distinguish it.
A faint smile appeared on the tip of his eyebrows.
"This is indeed something that the Third Hokage can do. However, I did not expect that the Fourth Kazekage next door would join in the fun."
The Shoji nodded first, then glanced at the signatures under the initiative sent from Konoha, as well as the joint statement signed by the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, and he couldn't help but smile.
When Onoki heard this, he also raised his eyebrows, showing a look of surprise.
"What? That kid Luo Sha also signed it?"
There was a lot of surprise in those words.
"Yes, Lord Third, look, there is the signature of the Fourth Kazekage below."
The general motioned to Kabuto the pharmacist on the side and handed the proposal from Konoha that was on the table to Onoki.
After a cursory glance, Ohnoki.
Then he smiled and nodded and said: "It's true, it seems that this fourth generation Kazekage is not willing to be lonely. Maybe he will take corresponding actions next!"
There was also a hint of sarcasm in his words.
The intentions of this Fourth Kazekage are simply more obvious than the lice on a bald man's head.
The moment when the three villages collided two years ago.
This Kazekage-sama is ready to take over the northern fortress of their family. This time, when he sees the possibility of war between Iwagakure and Kumogakure, Ohnoki really doesn't believe that this Fourth-generation Kazekage can bear it.
Liveable.
This so-called Five Kage Council that agrees with the Hidden Leaf Village may be just a cover!
"Well, this is an expected development."
"So, do you want to go down the 'stairs' given by the Third Hokage in Konoha? Yondaime?"
"Then it's not up to us, Lord Third, but to the Fourth Raikage!"
General smiled slightly and said.
And it happens to be Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!
These are almost messages that come in tandem.
"Lord Tsuchikage! This is the news from Cloud Hidden Village! There is also the latest information from the border loess!"
The moment the general finished speaking.
There was a slightly hasty knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open. A young Iwa nin stepped in, knelt down on one knee and saluted, and presented two scrolls with both hands.
Kabuto Yakushi, who was serving at the side, also immediately stepped forward, took the scroll from the hand of the Iwa ninja, and then presented it to the general.
General Si first opened the scroll on Loess, and when he saw the contents inside, General Si simply raised his eyebrows, and then he opened the piece of information from Yunyin Village, and when its contents caught his eyes.
Shoji's face instantly turned cold. Instead of being angry, he smiled and said, "What a strong tone. Does this Raikage really think that our Iwagakure Village is Konoha!?"
Ohnoki on the side saw the change in Shoji's expression.
He also got up by himself and floated to a closer position.
As soon as he glanced at the contents recorded in the two scrolls, the face of the third Tsuchikage who had just resigned suddenly turned gloomy.
The information conveyed by Loess was quite good.
It's just that there are signs of a large-scale gathering of Kumo ninjas in the border area. This was what Onoki and Shoji could predict from the beginning, but after seeing another scroll, which was the official declaration sent by Kumo Hidden Village.
time.
The conditions shown above undoubtedly angered the former Tsuchikage!
Just like what General said just now.
Does this fourth generation Raikage really regard their Iwagakure Village as weak and bullyable objects like Konoha Hidden Village!?
"If you don't agree, go to war!? Huh, do you really think that our Iwagakure Village is afraid!?"
Onoki snorted coldly. Only a guy like Sarutobi Hiruzen would take this kind of threat. Onoki would not accept this at all. In the previous Third Ninja World War, the third generation thunder from Lianyin Village
Kage Ōnoki always killed them when he asked, but now he just killed one or two hundred Kumo ninjas and captured a two-tailed one!
This so-called threat seemed extremely ridiculous to Onoki.
"It seems that there is no need to consider whether there is a Five Kage Conference or not. This Fourth Raikage is going to start a war, and there is a high probability that he will take action himself. Third Generation Sir, the village has to ask you
If I personally take charge, there is a high probability that Konoha will not take action at this juncture. I know the Third Hokage very well, but Sunagakure Village needs to be on guard. I will personally take people to meet with the Fourth Hokage.
Raikage!"
The general said in a deep voice.
Of course Shoji didn't know that before the Fourth Raikage decided to prepare for war and issued the so-called 'ultimatum' to Iwagakure, he had not received the Five Kage Conference proposal from Konoha. However, Shoji's
The judgment was not wrong. Considering the character of the Fourth Raikage, even if the proposal for the Five Kage Conference was received first, the Fourth Raikage would most likely not accept it!
It should be said that the Raikages of all generations were the purest war madmen.
They are the five great ninja villages who believe that strength is the standard to measure all problems. What is lost on the battlefield must be regained on the battlefield!
Unless Iwagakure Village is really cowardly enough to agree to all the requests made by Kumogakure Village, that is obviously a fantasy, not to mention that if Iwagakure Village is really such a ninja village with only appearances and strong externals, it will not be able to do anything in the first place.
It will unfold like that!
Therefore, there is destined to be a battle between the two great ninja villages!
With a high probability that the Raikage would personally lead the team on the opposite side, and even the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki would also be dispatched, Shoji thought to himself that he would definitely need to take action again!
The general will take this opportunity to cripple Yunyin Village all at once!
Lay the foundation for the next plan to unify the ninja world.
Using the analogy of the Seven Kingdoms, in Shoji's eyes, Kumogakure Village is 'Zhao', Konoha is 'Chu', Sunagakure and Kirigakure can also be compared to small countries such as 'Han', 'Wei' and 'Yan'.
, and the strategy that needs to be implemented is to weaken the war potential of big countries as much as possible, and then give priority to destroying and annexing those small countries!
This war is the ‘Battle of Changping’ that needs to be won in General’s eyes!
"Well, don't worry, Yondaime, leave the village and Sunagakure to me!"
Onoki also nodded heavily and replied.
"Yes, Third Generation-sama!"
Shoji also responded with a smile, then turned to look at the pharmacist Kabuto beside him: "Kabuto, let the heads of the departments gather together immediately and notify the shadow guards to be ready to go at any time!"
"Yes, Yondaime-sama!"
On the left side, Kabuto Yakushi, who had fully adapted to the position of Tsuchikage's secretary, immediately bowed and answered with a hint of respect.
Decision made.
The responsible persons in charge of various departments in Yanyin Village who quickly gathered in response to the order also issued various targeted instructions!
This time the war.
What the general wants is not just victory, but a great victory that can completely defeat Yunyin Village. In addition to the deployment of troops, except for leaving some necessary reserve troops and the troops on the southern front without mobilizing!
The rest of the troops will follow the general, including the most important, more than 3,000 new ninja troops equipped with chakra armor and some new combat weapons. As for the jinchūriki, Lao Zi is already on the front line.
, Han can stay in Yanyin Village to prevent Sand Hidden Village from brazenly sending troops at this juncture.
Anyway, there is only one Eight-Tails left in Kumogakure Village! The Two-Tailed Jinchuuriki is still under the control of the Shoji at this moment.
Not to mention Shoji alone is confident enough to suppress the combined efforts of the Eight-Tailed Gyuki and the Fourth Raikage!
As the heads of each department hurriedly left with the general's orders to carry out their respective tasks, the huge war machine in Iwagakure Village also started to operate.
at the same time!
In the reply sent to the Cloud Hidden Village in the name of Shoji, the new fourth generation Tsuchikage, not only did he righteously reject a series of requests made by the fourth generation Raikage, he also reprimanded him in the harshest tone.
Yun Nin's intrusion, a reverse claim!
There is no doubt that the strong attitude of their Iwagakure side is evident.
And along with this official announcement, there was also the urgent military mobilization of Iwagakure Village!
The entire ninja world is clearly aware that the war between the two major ninja villages is inevitable!
Especially when they learned that General Uchiha had succeeded him as the Fourth Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village, they were even more certain that the course and result of this war would be extremely tragic!
Two days later, the Fourth Raikage, who had received news from Konoha and Iwagakure, first rejected the Five Kage Talks proposal proposed by the Third Hokage in the coldest tone, and then
It was when he saw Uchiha Shoji actually becoming the Fourth Tsuchikage and replying with such 'humiliating' words.
This fourth-generation Raikage went directly into full rampage mode.
"Send troops! Send troops! Send troops! This Raikage must destroy Iwagakure!"
The Fourth Raikage Ai no longer wants to endure it any longer.
He also took his 'brother' Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki, Kirabi, and the more than 7,000 Kumo ninjas mobilized, and headed towards the western front line. He wanted to gather the 3,000 people originally stationed there.
More than a dozen garrison troops, totaling over 10,000 troops, launched an all-out war against Iwagakure Village!
Of course, this number of troops is far from the limit of Yunyin Village. With the current foundation of Yunyin Village, if we really want to go all out, we can still send out at least six to seven thousand troops, but these forces are not enough.
The Fourth Raikage will not use it unless absolutely necessary!
Because these personnel are to be allocated to the country of Yu and the eastern seaboard to guard against Konoha and Kirigakure Village, especially the latter, when it is obvious that they have colluded with Iwagakure Village, even if the Fourth Raikage
Ai doesn't really believe that Kirigakure Village will be so cooperative with Iwagakure Village.
But necessary precautions are still indispensable!
And because of the long sea border between the two countries.
These forces are enough to defend against. The Fourth Raikage Ai really doesn't believe it. Kirigakure Village dares to take risks and directly crosses the ocean to attack their Kirigakure Village!
At most, it’s just an attack by a small group of troops!
The remaining strength is enough to deal with any unexpected situation!
The army of more than 7,000 Kumo ninjas, led by the Fourth Raikage Ai, marched toward the border between the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Earth.
Such a large-scale march.
It was impossible to hide it, or to be more precise, the moment the Fourth Raikage led the army from Yunyin Village, the investigators from various countries learned about it immediately, and this was quickly transmitted back to their respective countries.
Information about the village.
The leaders of the ninja villages in various countries also responded immediately.
The first to react were the small countries such as the Iron Country and the Sound Country, which were close to the northern Xinjiang region. They also immediately stated that they would remain neutral and would not participate in the fighting on either side.
Luo Sha, who was far away in Sand Hidden Village, also received the news at the same moment.
The judgment was made immediately.
He immediately ordered his ninja village to launch an emergency mobilization. Once the frontline Iwa ninja army shows even a slight decline, or if Konoha takes the initiative to join the war, Rasa will definitely lead his ninja village's army to launch the northern fortress.
Fight back!
This Fourth-generation Kazekage-sama has been waiting for such an opportunity to the point of eagerness!
As long as you have a certain degree of certainty, you will definitely not miss this Fourth Generation Kazekage.
Correspondingly, Kirigakure Village took limited actions of a "passive" nature. Although the general himself knew very well, don't expect too much that Kirigakure Village could actually send many troops to help!
But if you don’t use it, you won’t use it.
It’s also an intention that can attract some attention!
Before his army set off, the general once again sent a request for support to Kirigakure Village through official channels!
Terumi Mei also directly agreed without saying a word. Anyway, they were not really allowed to fight on the front lines. They were just sent to the military to demonstrate their strength. Terumi Mei had no worries at all. No matter how weak their Kirigakure Village was, they were still among the top five.
As one of the Ninja Villages, Mei Terumi still has this courage and decisiveness!
It can even be said that Terumi Mei is mentally prepared to actually send troops to fight to a certain extent. If you have not witnessed it with your own eyes, you will not understand the power of Uchiha Shoji. The deceased previous Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura, or
Terumi Mei, the current Mizukage, or Genshi has experienced Shoji's power directly!
At least from the perspective of their Kirigakure Village, unless there is a big accident, or Konoha, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure can really be closely united, otherwise, today's Iwagakure Village
It is invincible!
And can the three major ninja villages be united closely?
This is a question that doesn’t need an answer!
Because the answer has been presented countless times in history!
If these great ninja villages could really be trusted, Konoha would definitely be razed to the ground long after Senju Hashirama passed away!
How can it still exist in the world!?
Therefore, Terumi Mei and Genshi have every reason to believe that the current Iwagakure Village is absolutely impossible to be defeated by other ninja villages.
Now, the Uchiha Shoji whom they considered invincible has ascended to the position of the Fourth Tsuchikage.
It is foreseeable that Iwagakure Village will become stronger than ever in the future.
Just as Konoha won three consecutive ninja wars and stepped onto the top of the ninja world, the next step was to enter the era of Iwagakure Village.
It is only right to follow the steps of Iwagakure Village.
As for other unexpected issues?
Then wait until the accident happens!
Rasa and Terumi Mei each made the judgment that they thought was most suitable for their own ninja village without any hesitation.
But Konoha Hidden Village is located in the center of the continent.
But he fell into an indecisive situation again.
For no reason, just because the old problem of the Third Hokage happened again. At first, Hiruzen Sarutobi thought that his Five Kage Conference proposal could at least slow down the pace of the war a little!
After all, Kirigakure Village declined the proposal to send out the Five Kage Conference together.
But Sunagakure Village agreed!
Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks that the Fourth Raikage can think about this no matter what, right?
Even if a fight eventually breaks out, the extra buffer time will be enough for them to collect more intelligence and see the situation more clearly.
Unfortunately, the result far exceeded Hiruzen Sarutobi's expectations.
I really didn’t even get a day’s buffer time.
The most important thing is that Sunagakure Village, which has just agreed to the Five Kage Council, and when the armies of Iwagakure and Kumogakure Village are setting off, are also intensively preparing for military operations!
This made Sarutobi Hiruzen very helpless.
Why don’t these people like peace and tranquility!?
But no matter how helpless they are, facing a new round of ninja war that is about to break out, Konoha must make a clear attitude!
After all, he is joining the war!
Or just sit back and watch!
If he goes by his past attitude and experience, this third-generation Hokage will definitely choose to stand by and watch the battles in his own ninja village. He will avoid them whenever he can. Even if it costs more, he still wants to achieve peace!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! How could he easily get involved in the wars in other ninja villages!
However, when the news came that General Uchiha had become the Fourth Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village, the Third Hokage was immediately silenced.
A kid who was considered by Konoha F4 to be the most insidious and dark among the evil clan has now openly become one of the Five Kages, despite the fact that the Uchiha clan successfully joined the Iwagakure Village after leaving Konoha.
Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately announced to the public that Konoha and the Uchiha clan had 'peacefully separated'!
But what the truth is, even a fool can see it.
Originally, the Uchiha clan was prospering in the Iwagakure Village, driving the Iwagakure Village to become stronger and stronger. They were already slapping Konoha in the face, but now there is actually an Uchiha shadow. For Sarutobi Hiruzen
, is a great shame!
It even denies the existence of the Third Hokage himself!
Both Sarutobi and Hiruzen had such emotions.
Not to mention the one with a more gloomy and rough personality, the Dark of Konoha!?
"We must target Iwagakure! Immediately send a warning to Iwagakure. If Uchiha General is not allowed to abdicate, we Konoha will declare war on it! The shadow of the Uchiha clan!? This is an outcome that is absolutely not allowed to happen! This is
It is a provocation to our Konoha! The harshest sanctions must be imposed!!!"
It was almost at this moment that the news came.
Shimura Danzo rushed to the Hokage's office in a hurry and pushed open the door with all his strength. This Konoha Darkness also looked at Sarutobi Hiji in the first place with an unprecedented ferocity.
Zhan, saying something like this is obviously extremely stupid, but it perfectly fits Danzo's character and fully reflects Danzo's mentality at the moment.
Danzo Shimura hasn't even touched the corner of Hokage's position yet!
Why can that nasty brat from the Uchiha family become the Tsuchikage!?
He absolutely cannot accept such a result!
send troops!
Troops must be sent!
Send troops immediately!
If the Iwagakure Village doesn't give an explanation and changes the Kage, Konoha will definitely fight to the death with the Iwagakure Village!
This is the strongest and true will of Shimura Danzo under the overwhelming anger!
