Including Metkai, who was extremely worried before.
After Shoji himself opened the Nine Magatama Samsara Eye, his threat level has been greatly reduced. With the Nine Magatama Samsara Eye, mastering the sage mode, and the blessing of dragon vein power, the current Shoji is still not as good as
They became the reincarnation eye spots under the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki, but the gap between them is certainly not very big.
But Metkai definitely doesn't have the strength to fight in the decisive battle.
This is not Konoha's 63rd year.
But Konoha 54 years!
There is a gap of nine years. At this moment, Metkai, who is just 21 or 2 years old, is already very good at mastering the Eight-door Dunjia Formation. It is absolutely impossible for him to be as mellow and comfortable as in the original work, and to burst out with the strongest power.
In the level of power!
And this doesn't just refer to the power of Eight Gate Dunjia.
It also means that there must be a clear gap between Metkai's own basic strength and his own during the decisive battle in the original work!
Perhaps it is more straightforward to put it this way. At this point in time, the power of Yekai's attack released at the cost of his life under the Eight Gates of Metkai is likely to be at most more powerful than that of Senju Hashirama at his peak.
Eternal Eyespot's full-force attack is just one step stronger.
In other words, the general who explodes with all his strength can surely block Metkai's full blow after opening the eighth door!
Since the risks have been greatly weakened and are almost within the controllable range, Shoji must of course pursue maximization of profits. Just like in the previous battle with Yunyin Village, Shoji planned to severely damage the entire Yunxi Village through a war.
Hidden Village!
It's the same this time.
Since the Third Hokage brought the army of Konoha Hidden Village to our door, Shoji has no reason not to eat him!
This Konoha ninja army of nearly ten thousand.
People are so proactive.
The general would naturally accept it with a smile.
Deidara and Kurotsuchi naturally don't understand the inner thoughts of their eldest general, but they can also hear that Shoji has his own plans and arrangements, and he can even hear the strong sense of confidence in Shoji's words.
.
The two of them wouldn't say much.
"oh!"
"Well, since General Si Sang said so!"
After all, in terms of trust level, few people trust the general more than the three little ones in the first class. This is an existence that they highly recognize and respect!
It's also good for ferrets.
Deidara, black soil.
The goal of the three little ones as they grow up is always Shoji! It can be said that the next generation of Tsuchikage struggle has already begun to take shape in the three little ones.
In the future, Neji, Kabuto Yakushi, Koso and even Erzhu will definitely join the competition!
And this is exactly the prospect that General is most willing to see.
Looking at the three little ones in front of him, a faint smile appeared on Jiang Si's face.
The large armies gathered on the front line, while confronting each other, also made the atmosphere in this area extremely forbidding and cold. Almost at the moment when the armies of the two major ninja villages were approaching, there were scattered residents in the nearby area.
The people, who were not many in the first place, also fled away in a panic.
They don't want to get involved in the battle between the ninja masters.
Not to mention the super-standard battles, even the aftermath of a genin battle can easily take away their lives.
for these civilians.
General, Jiraiya will 100% restrain the ninja army under his command not to act randomly. In the past wars, ninjas from various countries have killed civilians intentionally or unintentionally during wars!
And here, you have to admit that Konoha's side is the one that does relatively well. Many times, the most Konoha ninjas do is drive away civilians. During battles, they will try their best to avoid areas where civilians are.
Massacres of civilians rarely occur, but this is not the case in the other four major countries.
In particular, the number of civilians from other countries killed by the Kiri Ninja and Kumo Ninja in the past is simply too numerous to mention. It is even said that once the battle gets fierce, the civilians of their own country will suffer the same consequences. Even some extreme ninjas, only
He believes that the common people in the village are his family, which is a very common thing in the entire ninja world.
Of course, the Iwa ninjas of the past were not as bloody and cruel as the Kumo ninjas and Kiri ninjas.
But it is not as good as Konoha, and all this began to change when Shoji entered the high-level position of Iwagakure Village. Shoji's goal has always been to look at the entire ninja world. Many people feel that in such a world where ninjas are respected
inside.
Civilians are just ants that you don't need to care about at all.
It is true that from a purely power level, no matter how large the number of civilians is, it will not affect the overall situation. But again, what General Si wants to establish is a truly harmonious and peaceful Datong society, a society that eliminates all isolation, hatred, and class.
A society of exploitation and disparity!
Then we must try our best to let people all over the world feel the kindness of Iwagakure Village!
It is not required that they will definitely welcome their arrival and rule at first, but they must definitely not reject or be hostile!
If it really makes people angry.
That would not be a harmonious society, but a reign of terror!
Therefore, under the leadership of Shoji, Iwagakure Village has also undergone great changes in this aspect. Ohnoki also fully agrees with Shoji's reform and guidance in this aspect. Since the goal is to unify the entire ninja world,
Then you must have the heart and understanding to treat everyone in the ninja world as one's own people!
If we can, we will provide a certain degree of assistance to these fleeing civilians to the minimum extent possible.
Shoji wants the entire ninja world to recognize Iwagakure Village again!
This is also an invisible signal!
Although Jiraiya didn't think as much as Shoji, his nature was the kind of person who would never affect innocent people.
What's more, before the war comes, there is still a gap of two or three days, so that these people can stay away from this dangerous area as early as possible.
It is also what Jiraiya wishes.
And due to the tacit preparations of both parties, after all these civilians left, two days passed quickly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen delayed his departure from Konoha Hidden Village.
He also led a total of four thousand Konoha troops to the front line and merged with the army led by Jiraiya.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just arrived at the front line, felt his heart sink when he heard that the general had appeared in the camp of the Iwa ninja army opposite.
Because in the previous prediction.
It is not that Sarutobi Hiruzen has not considered this possibility, but he is more inclined to think that the general will personally command the army to attack Sunagakure Village, trying to use his super strength to defeat Sunagakure Village in the shortest possible time.
Resistance forces, and then return to defend the country earlier.
Now it seems that they chose to defend themselves against the attack of Konoha Hidden Village.
"So, I boldly suggest that Lord Jiraiya wait for the arrival of your reinforcements, Lord Third, and then launch an attack together after they gather together. Otherwise, with the first batch of armies, there is a high possibility that something will happen that we cannot control, and we don't want to see it.
The ending!”
In the army camp on the front line of Konoha Hidden Village.
Set up in the main camp tent in the center of the camp.
Nara Shikaku looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen sitting on the throne and said in a deep voice.
"Your judgment is correct, Shikaku. If Uchiha Shoji is really opposite us, rather than on the front line of Sunagakure Village, this approach is the safest!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen also waved his hand gently and said.
One person can defeat thousands of troops!
Today's Uchiha Shoji seems to have such deterrence and destructive power in Sarutobi Hiruzen!
Facing such a powerful enemy, no amount of caution can be exaggerated.
"How is the situation in Sunagakure Village? Can it still withstand it? I heard that the two retired elders - Chiyo and Ebizo have come out to take care of things, can they barely withstand it?"
After all, it is one of the five great ninja villages.
There should still be a certain level of foundation, right?
Chiyo and Ebizo are also strong men of the same era as Sarutobi Hiruzen. The two siblings were famous in the ninja world for their puppet power. In the eyes of the Third Hokage, no matter how bad the situation in Sunagakure Village is, they must insist on being the best.
Yue should still be able to do it, right!?
"The situation is not very optimistic, Third Generation. The latest intelligence has shown the decline of Sunagakure Village. The second line of defense cannot stop the advancement of Iwagakure Village at all. According to the news from the ANBU, this time
During the war, Iwa Ninja seemed to have used many new weapons, not only chakra armor, the strategic weapons of the Kingdom of Sky, but also other weird, but terrifyingly powerful bombing-type weapons, and
There are some weapons here that seem to be operated by ordinary people, and the destructive power they display is also very impressive. No sand ninja defense stronghold can withstand it. If judged according to the previous situation, at this moment, the rock ninja army
They should have already advanced to the outskirts of Sunagakure Village!"
Shikaku said with a stern look on his face, shaking his head slightly.
"What!? Advancing so fast!? From the time we broke through the border, it has only been less than four or five days, right!? Is it true that the Sand Ninja can't slow down the pace of the Rock Ninja at all!?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen also had a look of shock on his face, and his voice was subconsciously raised at this moment.
No matter how impatient the Sand Ninja is, no matter how weak he is, his body is still here, right? Sarutobi Hiruzen admitted that this time the Iwa Ninja side was indeed menacing, and the troops attacking the Sand Ninja were all elite, including the two big-tailed orcs of Loess.
Not to mention the combination of Chuuriki, those new weapons, apart from chakra armor, are almost all things that Sarutobi Hiruzen has never heard of.
Sarutobi Hiruzen could foresee that the Suna Ninja would 100% fall into a tough battle with an absolute disadvantage.
But you were bulldozed all the way, and you felt like you had no ability to resist. Isn’t it too outrageous!?
How is this development different from the previous Caoyin Village and Tangyin Village!?
Can this alone be considered one of the five great ninja villages!?
"Yes, Lord Sandaime, but I think that on the one hand, it is because the Iwa ninja side is too powerful, and on the other hand, it should be because the Kazekage-sama did not really intend to snipe from the front, right?
I don’t want to waste more precious combat power, but I want to focus on one battle!”
Shikaku's words.
He also directly woke up Sarutobi Hiruzen, and a faint look of surprise appeared on his old face. The third generation Hokage also nodded slightly and said: "Well, in this case, it is indeed true.
According to you, Shikaku, in your opinion, in such a collision, how much victory does the Sand Hidden Village side have? No, what is the probability that the balanced situation can be maintained? Hold back the Iwa ninja army!"
"Less than 30%!"
It doesn’t take too long to think about.
Almost at the moment when Sarutobi Hiruzen finished his question.
Shikaku responded directly.
"Not even 30%?"
Hearing Shikaku's answer.
There was also a hint of disappointment in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes. He no longer asked about the probability of victory, but the probability of barely holding on. But even so, the answer he received was still so cruel.
But what Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know was.
This can be considered a relatively optimistic estimate by Shikaku. If Shikaku were to examine the combat power competition between the two major ninja villages with the strictest attitude, the answer should be 'not even a 10% chance of being delayed'!
Yes, it is such a pessimistic data, and in Shikaku's view, this is the most reasonable judgment.
The strength gap between the two sides is really too great.
If there were no endless new military weapons including the technology of the Kingdom of Kong, Shikaku could be a little optimistic about Sunagakure Village, but the reality is that there is no if!
‘Less than 30% chance of being delayed’!
This is already the ultimate value that can be given under extreme optimism.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is really the result of Shikaku adding all the "right time, place, people and people" to Sunagakure Village.
"By the way, is there any movement from the Kumo ninja side? If Uchiha Shoji is on this side, if the Raikage can lead the Kumo ninja army to raid the eastern border of Iwagakure Village, he should be able to put a lot of pressure on Iwagakure Village.
Yes, this way we can also see where the remaining troops of Iwagakure Village are deployed. Calculating based on time, the Kumo ninja army should also be approaching the closer area, right!?"
Three Villages Alliance!
This is definitely not a joke, but a result that was clearly determined after the Five Shadows Conference.
Not to mention that Kumogakure Village suffered heavy losses before, Konoha and Sunagakure immediately sent troops to cover it, just because of the current situation in the ninja world, and the life and death feud between Kumogakure Village and Iwagakure Village!
Both Sarutobi and Hiruzen believed that the Fourth Raikage would make the clearest judgment in a timely manner!
Not to mention completely siding with the side of Iwagakure, even if we talk about the behavior of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight during the last collision between Riyun, Mu, and Iwagakure, in Sarutobi Hiruzen's view, that fourth generation Raikage
Even if I lose my mind, I can't do it!
Because that’s no longer playing with fire!
But he was deliberately dying!
Sunagakure, once Konoha is defeated, will your Kumogakure village still have good fruits to eat? Do you really think that you are still the extremely powerful Kumogakure village before?
Even if it is true!
The current Iwagakure Village has already reached the level of the Great Demon King, and it is impossible for any Ninja Village to fight against it alone.
"Yes, Lord Third, accurate information has been sent to Yunyin Village, but there is still a certain gap between it and the scheduled time. The reason is that at the beginning, Yunyin Village thought that the target of Yanyin Village was their Yunyin Village.
, so Lord Raikage also directly ordered all the troops to enter the defensive posture. Now it needs to be readjusted, which has delayed a little time. There are also some logistical problems, and it may be two or three days later than the scheduled time.
We can launch an invasion on the eastern border of Iwagakure Village!"
Shikaku also felt that there could not be any particularly big problems in Yunyin Village. Although he felt that Yunyin Village's judgment this time was a little delayed, considering that in the last war, Yunyin Village was completely severely damaged.
It’s understandable that you have a little bit of psychological shadow, so you need to prepare yourself in advance!
Anyway, the delay does not seem to be very fatal.
"Oh? Is that so? Then it's nothing. The process of two or three days is not a particularly big problem!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly, but did not notice anything strange.
After all, who could have imagined that there could be such a super-standard technique as the ‘Art of Other Gods’ in this world!?
Not to mention that the Fourth Raikage was transplanted with a pair of white eyes.
Coupled with the power of the Fourth Raikage himself, if you say that he was easily trampled and killed by Shoji, then almost everyone will believe it, but if you say that the Fourth Raikage will fall into the control of Shoji's illusion, then
Very few people would believe it.
Illusion has its limits after all!
And obviously, the misjudgment caused by the huge deviation of the information here will also have an extremely large impact on the entire battle situation to some extent.
But now, neither Sarutobi Hiruzen nor Nara Shikaku could have expected this. Instead, they would have very high expectations for the upcoming Kumo ninja army. After all, from their perspective.
No matter which side of the battlefield Ōnoki, Shisui, Fugaku, and the other two tailed beasts in Iwagakure Village still have their remaining strength to devote to.
This can allow the other side of the battlefield to gain more dominance!
The superposition of strength brought about by the alliance of the three major ninja villages is not a simple calculation process such as 1 1 1!
This is why Sarutobi Hiruzen still has strong confidence even though he knows that Uchiha Shoji and Iwagakure Village are so powerful.
"Since everything is not too different from the plan, we have to take action here. Otherwise, if Sunagakure Village cannot hold on, this war will be our complete defeat!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression condensed and he said with a very serious expression.
It is of course the best option to wait until the Kumo ninja army arrives and attack together at the appointed time. However, they have already wasted two more days waiting for the army to join together, if they continue to wait.
It's very possible that they haven't made any substantial gains here before.
On the battlefield in the Kingdom of Wind, Sand Hidden Village completely collapsed!
That kind of result is definitely not what Konoha is willing to see and accept. To collapse, they must achieve certain results here!
"Is that tomorrow, or is it?"
Judgment of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Shikaku wasn't surprised.
This was originally a bloody war against time, at least from Konoha's point of view. They could only save Sunagakure Village by breaking through the line of defense before Sunagakure Village was destroyed.
!
Or maybe even if Sand Hidden Village is destroyed, there is still a chance that Iwagakure Village will be severely damaged.
No matter which one it is.
This can be regarded as realizing one's strategic intention.
"No, just this afternoon. The rhythm and timing of the attack cannot be delayed any longer. Half a day is enough for the army to rest. At that time, the team will form a circular encirclement formation, leaving a gap. All other positions must ensure that nothing is missed.
At that time, all on-site command will be left to you!"
Although he is the head of a village and has been in charge of the ninja village for many years, when it comes to his commanding ability on the battlefield, it is not mentioned that this third generation Hokage has not set foot on the battlefield for many years. Even in the past, it was impossible to compete with him.
Compared to Shikaku's commanding ability.
At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen himself is still very good.
The war between ninjas also pays great attention to strategy and tactics, especially a guy like Shikaku whose IQ is as high as the ceiling in this world. He really has the ability to turn decay into magic!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course, the premise is that the category of combat power must still belong to the human level!
The ultimate strength is the Third Raikage. For those who are stronger than this, the so-called strongest tactic is just a joke.
Of course Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know, or to be more precise, he simply didn't believe Shoji could reach the level of his own First Hokage or even far exceed his height.
In his opinion.
He is a general who is much stronger than the Third Raikage of the past.
It still falls into the category of barely controllable. Even if it is indeed difficult to limit it, then there are still him and Jiraiya!
Even though he is old, Hiruzen Sarutobi is still very confident in his own strength, not to mention that he also has a trump card that he thinks is the strongest!
Even at the most dangerous moment, you can definitely make a comeback.
"Yes, Third Generation-sama!"
Shikaku also nodded heavily at this moment and replied.
"As for General Uchiha, Jiraiya, please come with me to try the power of this Fourth Tsuchikage!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen turned to look at Jiraiya on the other side and said in a deep voice.
"Old man, why don't you take command from the center? We must also consider the emergence of other unexpected factors. Leave General Uchiha to me alone. Of course, I can't beat this guy at all, but if I wait for a while,
It should still be possible to do it reluctantly!”
Jiraiya looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and replied solemnly.
Hear Jiraiya's words.
Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a hint of hesitation at first, then shook his head firmly and said: "No, Jiraiya, Uchiha Shoji is too strong, you can't hold it down alone, we have to work together.
Only then can we hold him back steadily. If you really fight against him alone, once you are defeated, it will easily affect the entire battle situation. That is a situation that we cannot accept. As for the problem you are worried about, if Iwagakure
If the village side really puts all the remaining strength into the front, it will be a good opportunity, and Yunyin Village will also seize it. What's more, we don't have other preparations, right!?"
