When Kumogakure took the lead in using the tailed beasts regardless of anything, the final direction of the war became confusing at this moment!
Aren't Kumogakure's people afraid that Konoha will also use tailed beasts?
You know, Konoha has the strongest Kyuubi!
But Kumogakure, who had little chance of winning, would have no choice but to accept the result of failure in despair if he didn't try to do something.
They are the ones who say that stealing the chicken but losing the rice!
And what they lost was not just such a small amount of millet, they almost lost all their flesh and blood in order to capture Konoha's chicken!
Therefore, after receiving the intelligence after the defeat, the Raikage, despite everyone's objections, forcibly sent Yukito, the two-tailed jinchūriki, to escort this batch of materials to reinforce the front line.
The Raikage was also betting that Konoha's Jinchūriki wouldn't be able to be used!
After all, the news that the Nine-Tails went berserk and almost destroyed Konoha has long been spread.
If they had not known how much damage this incident had caused to Konoha, Kumogakure would not have thought of attacking Konoha.
Therefore, even if Konoha hides the information about the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki very closely, in this case, whether Konoha dares to use the Nine-Tails or not, we must first put a question mark!
At this point, they, Yunyin, don't have any pressure anymore.
Yukito became a two-tailed jinchuriki when he was two years old. Now he is 16 years old. Not only can he skillfully borrow the power of tailed beasts, but he can even transform into tailed beasts with his own consciousness. He has never had any tendency to go berserk.
, has been widely recognized and admired by the villagers!
In this case, it is obviously perfect for Yukito to reverse the situation.
Moreover, in addition to being reckless, Raikage also has a delicate side.
He knew that even if the tailed beasts were deployed, it would be impossible to win the war with Konoha.
So he did this just to stop the loss and prevent himself from gaining nothing!
The Hokage wanted to force him to submit, and the Raikage didn't think so.
A peace agreement signed under a disastrous defeat and a peace reached under a 'evenly matched' situation naturally require completely different prices!
The former will cause Yunyin, who is already severely damaged, to suffer another blow, while the latter may not require much effort.
Even if Konoha's peace-seeking mentality is more urgent, they can still ask for some compensation through the disguise of 'toughness'!
That's why Raikage handed over these two peace letters to Dodai through Yubokuto's hands, just to allow him to adapt to the situation and decide based on Konoha's different reactions whether to cut the flesh or eat it from Konoha's body.
Get a piece of meat.
Of course, if Konoha takes the initiative to seek peace, then it is natural that God is blessing them Kumogakure.
It's a pity that there is a high probability that the people of Konoha will never be so spineless and take the initiative to seek peace, unless the situation in Konoha at this time is several times worse than everyone imagined.
Moreover, Shisui's variable caused disturbances in Kumogakure's plan. The final effect of Erwei's King Bomb obviously failed to meet expectations.
As for where this war will end up, we can only wait.
Just like that, Kumogakure, who held the two-tailed trump card, waited for the logistics supplies to arrive, and kept a low profile, as if Konoha had just used the tailed beasts to beat them up.
He didn't take the initiative to attack, and he didn't have any thoughts of evacuating. It was like a nail stuck on the border of the Land of Fire.
Kumogakure's approach also made Shikaku and others relieved, after all, no one wanted to fight the tailed beast.
Except for people from the Akatsuki organization!
Although Shisui was able to temporarily resist the enemy's tailed beasts, since the battle that day, Shisui has been "unconscious" from time to time, looking like "I'm going to die."
In this situation, Shikaku couldn't force him to do anything.
After all, in name, Shisui was not under his jurisdiction, he was just Itachi's bodyguard.
Moreover, if they just make it clear that they don't want to take action again, even if they force it, the effect they can achieve will be greatly reduced.
So after taking the initiative to withdraw the front line again, Shikaku was suffering every day, fearing that when he opened his eyes, Kumogakure's people would come over with Erwei.
Even if the power in his hand can stop Erwei Ichiki, what price will he have to pay?
Only fools would do this kind of loss-making business.
As for the next step, he had to wait for the Hokage's reply before he could make a decision.
And Kumogakure's people are waiting for Konoha's reaction.
As a result, both sides ushered in an extremely strange period of peace.
But they all know that this tacit understanding will soon be broken!
Next, there must be an explanation for whether war is peace, how war is war, and how peace is peace.
All this depends on Naruto's attitude!...
After receiving Shikaku's urgent battle report, Sarutobi leaned on his seat tiredly after reading it and sighed.
What he was most worried about happened.
Although it is a recognized unspoken rule among ninja villages not to use tailed beasts in wars, unless they are faced with a crisis that forces them to use them.
After all, once you do that, it will turn into a battle between tailed beasts, and no one is willing to accept that kind of destructive power, and maybe the entire ninja world will be destroyed.
At the same time, this was one of the reasons why Minato kept talking about 'the balance of the tailed beasts' before he died.
But even if someone really breaks this unspoken rule and takes the lead in using tailed beasts in a war, they will not be sanctioned.
Because except for the Seven-Tails owned by Takigakure Village, the remaining tailed beasts are all under the control of the five great ninja villages.
Despite the fact that the five major ninja villages have been constantly fighting each other over the years, what does this actually mean?
Other ninja villages are no longer qualified to play cards at the same table as them.
So looking at the entire ninja world, who is qualified to sanction them?
Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure were all maimed in the previous war, and now they have too much time to take care of themselves, so how can they care about such nonsense!
They wished that Kumogakure and Konoha would fight as hard as possible. It would be best if they got angry and died together!
In this way, when they calm down, they can successfully receive these 'legacys'. Wouldn't it be wonderful?
Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Kumogakure would jump over the wall and take the lead in using the tailed beast.
If it had been in the past, Sarutobi wouldn't have had a headache at all. Kumogakure's people dared to use tailed beasts, and it's not like they didn't have them in Konoha!
Moreover, Konoha has the strongest Nine-Tails, which can defeat Kumogakure's Two-Tails and Eight-Tails one against two.
Don’t forget, Hashirama originally wanted to balance the national combat power of the five major nations, so he proposed to divide the tailed beasts with powerful combat capabilities among the five major nations equally to achieve a balance of tailed beasts.
But what makes Sarutobi helpless now is that the previous Jinchuuriki Kushina and Minato died together, and the new Jinchuuriki Naruto is still a two-year-old child, and Naruto doesn't even know his identity as a Jinchuuriki.
Therefore, it is simply unrealistic to use the Nine Tails to counter the tailed beasts dispatched by Kumogakure!
