Now after hearing Danzo's narration, Lei Luo became keenly aware that perhaps what caused the demise of the Whirlpool Kingdom was not some vague so-called "races" or "those targeted by the public".
The most likely possibility is that this time Kirigakure Village seems to be a long-planned war operation, and the time should also coincide with the Second Ninja World War that is currently in full swing.
Thoughts flashed through his mind instantly. Lei Luo followed Danzo forward, passing by the Gen nin who stood respectfully on both sides of the road, and asked calmly:
"If I remember correctly, Uzushio Village, a ninja village, seems to be our ally in Konoha, right?"
"That's right." Danzo nodded, his face became a little gloomier, and his tone became slightly more serious as he said:
"The friendship between the Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan dates back to the Warring States Period. This relationship was still maintained after the first Hokage founded Konoha."
"The Country of Uzumaki, Uzushio Village, and even the Uzumaki clan have always been our ironclad allies of Konoha."
"Now that our allies are in trouble, we in Konoha should never sit idly by and ignore it, but..."
Danzo's words suddenly came to a halt. Lei Luo glanced at the other party subconsciously and found that the old guy looked unusually embarrassed. His lips moved slightly, but he did not continue to make any sound.
However, it is not a good habit to speak halfway. Lei Luo was listening with great interest at this time and did not want the other party to stop just like that, so he decisively asked:
"Just what?"
Taking a deep breath, Danzo pondered for a while, and then continued: "It's just that our Konoha is currently at war with Iwagakure, Amegakure, and Kazugakure at the same time, and we really can't allocate too many troops to support our allies.
.”
When Danzo said this, he looked ashamed, and even his hand holding the cane tightened unconsciously. It was obvious that his mind was not calm.
Lei Luo observed Danzo's expression and saw that he was not pretending, so he asked with interest:
"With the strength of Uzushio Village, I don't think they can defeat a great ninja village like Kirigakure."
"So, we are prepared to ignore death and watch Uzushio Village being wiped out by Kirigakure Village?"
No matter how powerful the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique is, it has its limits. Even if the Uzumaki clan can restrain the tailed beasts, this does not mean that they are stronger than the tailed beasts.
In terms of destructive power, they cannot reach the level of tailed beasts, nor can they constitute a "strategic level" force like Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara.
In this case, the number of people is still an important indicator to measure the overall combat power of Uzushio Village.
Therefore, it is precisely because of this that when Kirigakure Village was about to use force against Uzushio Village, neither Danzo nor Lei Luo believed that the Uzumaki clan could resist it with their own strength.
With the fighting power of a mere clan, even if it has the resources of a small country, the hierarchy determines the pattern and the scale determines the strength. How can a clan compete with a ninja village?
Without the support of Konoha, facing the full blockade of Kirigakure Village, and the fierce offensive that is about to begin, the outcome of the Uzumaki clan can be imagined.
However, the truth is indeed such a truth, but Lei Luo revealed all this nakedly, which still caused Danzo to be a little dissatisfied.
He stared at Lei Luo coldly for a while, and saw that the latter's expression was not flustered, but also had a hint of interest. For a moment, Danzo felt a fire in his chest, and immediately stopped and stood on the spot, and said in a deep voice
said:
"Will you die without saving me? Mr. Tobirama has shown me the kindness of knowing me. Mr. Mito is also an elder I respect very much..."
"Since I have discovered the disaster in the Kingdom of Whirlpool, the relevant information has naturally been sent there a long time ago."
Speaking of this, Danzo gritted his teeth bitterly, and his voice was almost frosty: "But the Uzumaki clan... they didn't take our Konoha's warning seriously at all!"
"I neither moved quickly and took refuge in the village, nor did I quickly disperse the clan members, break them into pieces, and escape before the siege network of Kirigakure Village was completely formed..."
"Their replies were full of perfunctory words. From between the lines, I could only read a lot of distrust."
Danzo sneered twice and said sarcastically:
"The Uzumaki clan, those people probably think that this incident is a conspiracy by Konoha, and the purpose is to take the opportunity to annex them, haha..."
After laughing for a while, Danzo's expression turned calm again, as if he didn't want to vent his anger on the Uzumaki clan. He just remained silent for a moment, then turned to Lei Luo and said:
"Lei Luo, let me ask you, in this situation, what should we in Konoha do so that we don't ignore death?"
Although Danzo's question seemed sharp, it was actually easy to answer. However, Lei Luo had his own plans in mind, so he was not in a hurry to give his answer.
First of all, although Konoha does not have the spare capacity to send troops to support the Uzumaki clan, the intelligence strength of the Great Ninja Village cannot be underestimated, and it does not mean that it has not provided help to the country of Uzumaki at all.
By analyzing various trends in Kirigakure Village, one can clearly determine its true intentions. This ability is not something that a small country like the Country of Whirlpool can match.
The Uzumaki clan is very strong, and their various sealing techniques are weird and unpredictable, and they can even restrain tailed beasts, but this does not mean that they have no shortcomings.
Scientific research, intelligence, personnel, military, funding, and even all aspects of education... these things are important factors that widen the gap between the Great Ninja Village and the Little Ninja Village.
It is undeniable that the Uzumaki clan specializes in the field of sealing and is unique in the ninja world. However, their scale, system, and cultural concepts limit their development.
That's why they don't know what Konoha can know, and they don't even notice that a disaster is coming.
From a young age to a big one, Uzumaki Village is small in scale and seriously biased in its development, which is not a good thing for the Uzumaki clan.
But for Lei Luo, the Hidden Mist Village's intention to destroy the Country of Whirlpool is not necessarily a bad thing.
Because, in this matter, Lei Luo was keenly aware of opportunities and... maneuverable space.
After suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Lei Luo saw that Danzo was still looking at him, as if still waiting for his answer, so he carefully considered his words before answering:
"The Uzumaki clan is ignorant and cannot appreciate our Konoha's good intentions. This is certainly their fault, but..."
After slightly prolonging his tone, Lei Luo glanced at Danzo, but found that there was no change in his expression. He couldn't help but guess, so he continued:
"It's just that the other party is our ally after all. As a great ninja village, I think we should still show something to show Konoha's magnanimity."
"So..." Danzo raised his head slightly and asked noncommittally: "Do you think we still have to send troops to support the Kingdom of Whirlpool?"
"Yes." Lei Luo responded lightly at first, then changed the subject. He spread his hands and said indifferently: "But whether to help or not, and how to do it, still depends on it.
It's up to your senior management to make the decision."
