Konoha did not hide the news that Kizaru became Hokage. Instead, it held a ceremony and celebration with great fanfare. Naturally, it spread to other ninja villages very quickly.
The people who received the news the fastest were the three major ninja villages who planned to besiege Konoha and were always paying attention to Konoha's intelligence.
The three major ninja villages immediately interpreted Konoha's temporary change of Hokage before the war.
Some senior officials of the Three Great Ninja Villages believe that this may be a sign of internal strife in Konoha. The faction behind Kizaru is in conflict with the faction of his teacher, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
These people have enough confidence in their own inferences. They believe that there must be internal conflicts in Konoha, otherwise they would not have made the stupid move of changing shadows before the war.
This argument has many supporters among the top leaders of the three major ninja villages, and it can even be said to be the mainstream.
Another argument is the opposite. They believe that Konoha's current change of Hokage is because the Third Hokage wanted to maintain his disciples and wanted to use this war to let Kizaru secure his position as Hokage.
Compared to the first argument, there are fewer supporters of the second argument. The main reason is that everyone does not believe that the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is less than fifty years old, will willingly take the position of Hokage.
Give it to his disciple who is not yet a minor.
This pair of master and apprentice are actually perfect in terms of age difference. Kizaru is more than thirty years younger than Sarutobi Hiruzen. When he reaches his twenties, Sarutobi Hiruzen is almost sixty years old.
, it is the most appropriate time to transfer power at this point.
To save others by oneself, the top ninjas of the three major ninja villages did not think that Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was less than fifty years old, would voluntarily hand over the leadership of the strongest ninja village in the ninja world at the end of his peak life.
What about your disciples?
This is impossible, absolutely impossible!
In the face of such huge power, almost no one, let alone his direct disciple, even his own son, would be willing to give up power.
It is precisely because of this idea that the senior officials of the three major ninja villages tend to support the first argument.
These high-level officials below Kage can express their opinions and make speculations at will, but the Kages of the three major ninja villages cannot be so rash.
This siege of Konoha can be described as a battle for the fate of the country between the three great ninja villages. The shadows of the three villages dare not slack off in the slightest.
Every move of Konoha and the Kage of the three major ninja villages are focused on, let alone a top priority like changing the Hokage.
As the oldest and most calm Tsuchikage among the three great ninja village Kages, Onoki held a village meeting on the day he received the information about Kizaru becoming the Hokage, and fully listened to the analysis of the village's senior officials and think tanks.
.
Deep down in his heart, Onoki hoped that the speculation about internal strife in Konoha, which had the highest recognition from the top brass, was correct, but he felt that it was unlikely.
At the same time, as the shadow of a village, Ohnoki understands one thing better, that is, he cannot place his hope of victory on the enemy's own problems.
Compared with some senior officials, they have been analyzing from various angles to prove that there must be internal strife in Konoha. In this Ninja World War, the winning rate of the three major Ninja Village Alliance has been greatly improved. This is an act to boost morale and comfort themselves.
What Onoki hopes to analyze more is the impact of Kizaru becoming Hokage on the upcoming war. Can the Ninja Village Alliance take advantage of the fact that Kizaru has just become Hokage to discuss some plans to consume Konoha's vitality.
Compared with some of the more optimistic senior officials, Onoki was under great pressure, especially after Kizaru swept through the Land of Grass and killed thousands of Kumogakure ninjas alone.
The new god of ninja? Onoki thinks that Kizaru is more like Shura in the ninja world of Uchiha Madara. In some aspects, Kizaru's aggressiveness is even higher than that of Uchiha Madara.
Although Uchiha Madara has an arrogant personality and is a bit arrogant, looking down on almost everyone except Senju Hashirama, he does have the reserve of a strong man and rarely commits massacres of ninjas on a large scale.
Kizaru, the strongest ninja in the new era, is different. This guy really kills people! And from the analysis of past records, he has not shown any strong demeanor. No matter how strong or weak he is, as long as he is an enemy, he will never show mercy.
.
Counting down the battles that Kizaru has participated in since his debut, he raided Kumogakure Village and killed hundreds of Kumogakure ninjas; guarded the border of the Fire Country, killed the invading Kumogakure two-tailed Jinchuuriki, captured the Third Raikage, and killed hundreds of people.
Kumogakure ninja; On the battlefield of Rain Kingdom, the battle with Hidden Rain Village was okay. Hanzo gave up quickly and only paid the price of one arm; he started a war with Hidden Suna Village, ambushed the third Kazekage, and wiped out nearly two thousand sands by one person.
Hidden ninja.
Coupled with the recent sweep of the Land of Grass and the killing of thousands of Kumogakure ninjas, Shimura Kizaru, the newly appointed Fourth Hokage, is simply a god of death.
Ohnoki conservatively estimated that the number of ninjas who died at the hands of Kizaru in each major ninja village was at least four thousand.
In front of Kizaru, Uchiha Madara, a Shura in the ninja world, can be regarded as a lover of peace.
Such a murderous god becomes the fourth Hokage of Konoha. Once the war breaks out, will he launch indiscriminate bombing raids in the three major countries in order to win? Will he use the three major ninja villages to send troops, leaving the interior empty?
On this occasion, a direct air strike was carried out to massacre the base camp of the three major ninja villages?
When he thought of this, Onoki felt his hands and feet getting cold. He didn't know how his side would respond once Kizaru adopted such a tactic.
Defense is definitely impossible to defend. The best way Ohnoki can think of is to change his family. Once Kizaru launches an attack on the three major countries, the ninja coalition will enter the Land of Fire and wreak havoc, making it difficult for both sides.
It is indeed difficult for my Dust Release to display its lethality against a highly sensitive and perceptive opponent like Kizaru, but when faced with cities and villages with fixed targets, its power is huge.
Onoki has already formulated a plan. If Kizaru frequently launches air strikes on his rear area, he will use his flying ability and dust escape to directly destroy important cities and villages in the Land of Fire and retaliate in retaliation.
This is what Onoki thought of as the best way to contain Kizaru and protect the rear of the Ninja Village Alliance.
He has already communicated with the Third Raikage privately about this plan, and has received the support of the Third Raikage.
On the other side of Kirigakure Village, Ohnoki also reported the plan and has not received a reply yet, but he estimates that Kirigakure Village will also support his plan!
It is indeed as Ohnoki estimated. After receiving the plan from Iwagakure in Kirigakure, whether it was the Fourth Mizukage Goju Shikura and the senior management of Kirigakure, they were secretly controlling everything.
Uchiha Madara all expressed their support and made commitments and arrangements to do their best to cooperate with Ohnoki's plan to attack the Land of Fire.
However, because the distance between the two sides is too far, the reply from Kirigakure Village is still on the way.
Uchiha Madara is very happy to see that it can weaken the logistical strength of the Fire Country and expand the anger and hatred between the two sides.
If the two sides could engage in a bloody feud, blowing up each other's bases and severely injuring their vitality, that would be a great thing. As the mastermind behind the scenes, Madara Uchiha would be able to take advantage of the situation.
For a strong man like Kizaru who is equal to him (in Uchiha Madara's opinion), according to Uchiha Madara's estimation, with the strength and cooperation currently displayed by the three great ninja villages, the winning rate is not too great.
After realizing this, Uchiha Madara has adjusted his strategic direction in time. This war will mainly focus on consuming the effective strength of each ninja village.
At the same time, taking advantage of the chaos of the war, Black Zetsu led the rebel ninja organization and White Zetsu he recruited to kidnap Nagato, the host of the Rinnegan Eye, and the children of the Uchiha clan from Konoha.
