In the end, Konoha formed an alliance with Iwagakure.
Amidst the cheers of the Konoha ninjas, Toneri returned to the camp at the border of Taki Country with the alliance scroll signed with Onoki.
This kind of paper contract actually has no restrictions on Konoha and Iwagakure.
Just like the Kumo ninja tore up the alliance with Konoha last time, they can end the alliance at any time as long as both of them are willing.
But judging from their current situation, it is obviously unlikely that they will start another war in the short term. The Iwa Ninja is also a bit injured because the Third Raikage is alone.
As for Konoha, it is even more impossible to unilaterally tear up the treaty.
The several-year war in the country of Taki is over. The happiest thing is not Konoha nor Iwa Ninja, but Taki Ninja.
There was no way, even though Takigakure Village was attached to Iwagakure Village, it was obvious that Iwagakure didn't take them seriously, and they just used their country as a battlefield.
But yes, if you don’t use the country of Taki as a battlefield, you can’t use your own homeland as a battlefield, right?
This is the role of these small countries.
They would like to extend the battlefield into the Land of Fire, but that would require Konoha's consent.
As for the Land of Grass, Iwa Ninja also tried it, but unfortunately, he was frightened by Namikaze Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique.
And compared to being a battlefield in the Country of Grass, which is surrounded by Konoha, it is obviously more like a home battle in the Country of Taki, which has more advantages.
Now that there is a truce between Konoha and Iwagakure, it is said that the leader of Takigakure shut himself in his room and cried for a whole day and night.
It's not easy. It's not easy for Takigakure Village. It's really not easy to survive this war.
After all, not every small country can have a prestigious top powerhouse like the Kingdom of Rain, who can influence the situation of the war to a certain extent.
But signing an alliance treaty with Iwagakure Village does not mean that Konoha can let all ninjas return to Konoha. At least a thousand ninjas will be left to defend Iwagakure.
But this way, at least two to three thousand Konoha ninjas can return to Konoha.
For ninjas who have been away for a long time to return to Konoha alive, this is much more important than how much merit they make.
The number of ninjas that were originally in short supply in Konoha suddenly became abundant.
Although there are many ninjas who cannot return, if there are more ninjas available, they can work in shifts to a certain extent, and as long as the Third Ninja War is completely over, they will all be able to come back.
Now the peace of the Third Ninja World War has begun to take shape.
Originally, this signing should not be a very happy thing, because many Konoha ninjas died in the hands of Iwa Ninja, but Danzo has already been blamed for this, and Sarutobi Hiruzen also "resigned"
.
But even so, the Konoha ninjas on the battlefield of Taki Country were not particularly excited.
But today's signing process was ingenious. Their Hokage and the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village suddenly started a duel, and suppressed the third Tsuchikage in a way that made them very excited and excited.
The final signing process turned into Konoha begging to sign a contract with Iwagakure Village, and Konoha defeating Iwagakure to sign a contract, and the original series of contract terms were directly eliminated because of this battle.
This made the Konoha ninjas feel proud and proud.
All of a sudden, all the feeling of frustration was gone, and everyone felt like they had won the battle.
Next, the arrangements for most of the Konoha ninjas to return to the village were left to Nara Shikakushin, with Toneri taking on the role of hands-off manager.
It seems that being a Hokage is actually not a difficult task.
Some things just need to be left to people who can do it. As Hokage, as long as he has strong strength, enough power to shock everyone and prestige in the hearts of Konoha residents, it is enough.
"How is it? Although the war here has ended, you should still be able to feel some of the cruelty of war."
Toneri looked at his two disciples with a smile, both Shisui and Itachi looked a little pale.
As people who have experienced it, Shiren certainly knows what they have faced and what they have witnessed.
I guess I won't be able to eat much these days.
Originally, Shisui could say that it was a bit early for a child like Itachi, who was only three or four years old, to see the cruelty of the battlefield. If it were an ordinary child, it would probably leave a psychological shadow, but could Itachi be regarded as an ordinary child?
Whether it was Shisui or Itachi, Toneri never regarded them as ordinary children, but completely regarded them as ninjas who could face all situations.
"Teacher, is war really so cruel?"
This time Shisui didn't speak, but Itachi, who usually spoke less and was more introverted, spoke first.
Shiren nodded and his expression became a little serious, "Yes, war is so cruel no matter what era it is in or how big the scale it is.
If you can, if you have the ability, you must try to avoid war and bring peace to Konoha and the entire ninja world."
After finishing speaking, Toneri stared at the slightly immature cheeks of the two little guys and said earnestly:
"Shisui, Itachi, you two are not ordinary people. I believe that even you yourself can feel your talents and potential, so don't set your goals on how much strength you want to gain. How can you help the Uchiha clan?
.
You need to take a longer view, at least see something from the perspective of a village, or even see things from the perspective of the entire ninja world.
Today's ninja world is too chaotic, with various forces mixed together. If there is an opportunity, we should think about how to bring peace to the entire ninja world.
Even if you sometimes sacrifice a little, pay a little, or even kill a little, as long as the world can move in the right direction, then everything is worth it.
How high you stand when you look at the world means how big your capacity is."
Now is the time for Shisui and Itachi to establish correct values. As a teacher, Toneri naturally has to "guide" them well.
Don't fall into the narrow values of life such as "selflessly dedicating everything to your brother".
How much is your brother worth?
You have a brighter future!
Hearing Toneri's worldview that suddenly rose to the level of the entire world, Shisui and Itachi's eyes shone brightly, full of eagerness and admiration.
"Teacher, is your ideal to bring peace to the world?" Zhisui looked yearning, as if he had suddenly recovered from the scene he had just witnessed.
Toneri nodded and looked at the two little guys, "Are you willing to help me?"
"Yes!" Shisui replied immediately.
"I am willing too!" Itachi's voice was still a little childish, but full of determination.
"Hahaha, okay! I believe you two also have the ability to change this world."
Shiren was very happy at this time.
Well, you have successfully "corrected" the world view of the two little guys. Stop worrying about the narrow aspects of family, village, and younger brother. The most correct thing is to help your teacher bring peace to the world.
After fooling these two little guys, Toneri suddenly rose from the height of Hokage to the whole world.
He has become the idol in their hearts. Although he has always sacrificed others for his idol, this time he is even more determined.
Suddenly, Shiren became very interested.
I wanted to continue, but I was stunned for a moment, and the expression on my face slowly faded away.
He waved his hands and said to the two of them: "You go and prepare first, then go back with the Konoha army."
"yes!"
The two little guys walked out full of longing.
Shiren bit his finger lightly.
Psychic art!
A petite, snow-white cat appeared in front of him. The cat held a small scroll in its mouth. After handing it to Toneri, he immediately released the channeling without saying much.
Shiren didn't care and slowly opened the scroll.
First he was stunned, then his expression changed subtly, and finally he laughed.
But it's not the kind of happy smile, but the kind of angry smile, the one who laughs in anger.
"What a 'demigod' Hanzo. Do you really think you are a god if someone gives you the title of 'demigod'?"
At the same time, a black shadow appeared silently at the entrance of Toneri's tent.
"Come in."
I saw a root ninja wearing a dog mask and black robes quickly walked in, and also handed a scroll into Toneri's hands.
Because he took over the Roots, he naturally also took over the huge Roots intelligence system that Danzo had worked so hard to manage for so many years.
But this time the intelligence from the roots was a little slower than Toneri's psychic cat.
The content in the scroll is almost exactly the same as the information brought by the psychic cat.
However, it can still be seen from here that the underlying intelligence system is still very powerful.
Toneri's psychic cat uses the space ninjutsu of psychic art, but the root transmits information in a relatively common way. It can be seen that the intelligence system of the root is still a little stronger than that of Toneri's psychic cat.
.
At least, this special direction in the Land of Rain is a little stronger.
"I already know. Call all the root ninjas on the battlefield of Taki Country to come with me."
"yes!"
The roots are very fast and are almost always on standby.
After Toneri simply left a message to Nara Shikashin and his two disciples, he disappeared at the border of Taki Country and Fire Country overnight, heading towards the Rain Country.
From the intelligence just now, we learned that the Sand Ninja, who were originally confronting Konoha and the Rain Ninja in the Land of Rain, suddenly took action and almost came out in full force.
Originally, Konoha was well prepared, but they never expected that the Rain ninja, an ally of Konoha, would suddenly unilaterally tear up the alliance and join forces with the Suna ninja to attack the Konoha ninjas at the same time.
This is not just as simple as Konoha losing an ally, it is equivalent to losing two shadow-level powerhouses inside and outside.
Although big countries have always looked down on small countries, even the Land of Rain is no exception, but it must be admitted that the existence of Sanshou Hanzo is still relatively important.
On the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain, the Sand Ninja side has several top powerhouses such as Rasa, Chiyo, Ebizou and Sword Release Hagakura, while the Konoha side has the "Yellow Flash" Namikaze Minato, the new generation "Inorika Butterfly" and
Sanshouyu Hanzo, the leader of Kumogakure Village.
In this way, in terms of top combat power, the Konoha and Rain ninja alliance still have a certain advantage. If Sunagakure Village had not had an advantage in the number of ninjas, there would not have been such a stalemate.
But for some unknown reason, Hanzo, the leader of the Rain Hidden Village, suddenly rebelled and led a group of Rain Ninjas and Sand Ninjas to attack Konoha.
The Konoha army, which was unable to react for a moment, suffered a lot of trauma and was retreating steadily.
From the intelligence, we learned that it was only a matter of time before we exited the Country of Rain and entered the border of Konoha.
Once you enter the Konoha border, things will become very troublesome.
So after knowing the information, Toneri just left a message to Shikashin, asking him to prepare the ninjas who were originally going to return to Konoha and rush to the border of Rain Country for support, while he himself took some root ninjas to rush to the rescue immediately.
With his speed and desperate rush, he should be able to make it in time.
But after learning about Hanzo's behavior, Toneri became furious.
He experienced the feeling of the Third Raikage and the Fourth Raikage suddenly biting back the village of Iwagakure.
The difference is that they have to weigh the pros and cons and dare not counterattack the Kingdom of Earth, but Shiren is now interested in destroying the Kingdom of Rain.
This kind of large-scale all-out collision is rare even in this entire Ninja World War, and it will definitely last for a long time.
Toneri and a few root ninjas should be able to catch up before the end, but I don't know whether the Konoha ninja losses are serious or not, and whether the two sand ninjas and rain ninjas can resist the fire country border.
Once they invade the Fire Country, the losses will be huge, and the worst sufferers will definitely be the ordinary residents of the Fire Country.
Konoha is working so hard to control the battlefield outside the Land of Fire, not just to prevent this situation from happening.
But because of Yu Ninja's defection, all of Konoha's efforts were about to come to nothing.
"Lord Minato, Hanzo and the Rain Ninja are preparing to forcefully break through our defenses. We can't retreat any longer. If we retreat any further, we will enter the Land of Fire."
Namikaze Minato, who was in the middle of the battle, still had to find time to direct the Konoha ninjas to fight and set up defenses. It had to be said that if he hadn't been able to spare some time because of his Flying Thunder God Jutsu, he really wouldn't have been able to do this.
Look at who he is facing now, the new generation of magnetic escape ninja from Hidden Suna Village, the leader of the Suna series, and Rasa who may become the next Kazekage.
And the elder Chiyo, who has the strongest puppet-seeing technique in Sunagakure Village currently, uses the "White Secret Technique - Chikamatsu Ten People".
These two people are considered the strongest fighting force in Sand Hidden Village now.
The yellow flashing Namikaze Minato can defeat one against two without falling behind, which is absolutely amazing to everyone.
The reason why he could spare a certain amount of energy to take care of the ninja army was because there was one person assisting him, Toneri's old friend Nara Shikaku.
As the new generation of Inakacho, Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Kaiichi are all powerful jounin individually, but once they are combined, they can achieve combat power comparable to that of a Kage.
Fighting with them were the new strong men of Sand Hidden Village, the Sword Flamer Yakura who had made great achievements for the Sand Ninja on the battlefield, and Ebizo, who was known as the wisest man of the Sand Ninja but was equally powerful.
Originally, the battle situation didn't have to be like this. Minato's enemy was just Rasa, while Chiyo's opponent should be Hanzo.
But now Hanzo's betrayal not only caused Namikaze Minato to face Rasa and Chiyogai at the same time, but the rain ninja assault force with Hanzo's strength as its arrow made it impossible for the Konoha ninjas to stop them.
That is to say, Namikaze Minato is strong enough to resist Rasa and Chiyo, otherwise thousands of Sand ninjas would be difficult to stop, let alone the Rain ninja headed by Hanzo.
And because of many battles and contacts, Rasa and Chiyo also figured out the characteristics of Namikaze Minato's Flying Thunder God Jutsu.
That is, you should never think about intercepting a person who can use time and space ninjutsu. If the opponent wants to gain speed and does not want to deal with your men head-on, don't panic and let him go.
You can just massacre his men without restraint.
Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique can kill these ordinary people very quickly, but Rasa's Magnetic Release - Sand Waterfall Burial is not a decoration, and Chiyo's Chikamatsu Ten People are not without the ability to kill.
If they really wanted to compete in terms of killing speed, the two of them working together would not necessarily be slower than Minato.
Even with the Suna Ninja being faster than the Konoha Ninja, they were willing to risk everything to break Konoha's line of defense this time.
If there is no benefit at all, Sunagakure Village will really suffer a big loss as the instigator of this ninja war.
Chiyo is familiar with Sansho Hanzo. She is one of the few people in the entire ninja world who can ignore the poisonous nature of Hanzo's Sansho. She can instigate Hanzo to rebel, but you only have Ebizo playing tricks on him.
"Let everyone hold on a little longer. I have used toads to convey the message to Konoha as quickly as possible. Reinforcements will arrive soon!
This is our last line of defense, we must hold on!"
Minato's face was solemn, and as soon as he finished his sentence, he could not move away again to meet the attacks of Kamirasa and Chiyo.
Because Minato's speed is too flexible, the two of them have now learned well. As long as Namikaze Minato dares to leave their sight, they will do their best to attack the other Konoha ninjas while ensuring their own safety.
That's why it is said that Namikaze Minato is the ninja who is best at fighting alone, because if others are not strong enough, they will most likely become a burden to him.
Just like now, not only can the ninjas of Konoha's ninja army not be able to provide him with much help in battle, but they also restrict his fighting style.
At the same time, just as the Konoha ninjas were trying their best to stop the Suna ninja and the Rain ninja, a huge tide of sand came overwhelmingly from behind the Suna ninjas towards the area where the Konoha ninjas were standing.
"Hahahaha, I finally came out again! All the boys in Konoha, line up one by one to die in front of me!"
An extremely arrogant voice accompanied the appearance of the sand tide, resounding throughout the battlefield.
Upon hearing this voice, Minato and Shikaku's expressions changed at the same time.
"Minato, it's one tail! It's the one tail of Suna Ninja!"
A helpless and bitter smile also appeared on Minato's face. This time, he was at his wits' end and couldn't resist it.
"Minato! Shikaku! Take care of yourselves, Shukaku will be left to us for the time being!"
At this moment, two ninjas wearing white combat uniforms appeared in the middle of the sudden appearance of the sand, and they performed the starting posture of Taijutsu. Their white eyes were surrounded by raised meridians.
"It's Hizashi and Hizashi, you should be careful and don't show off!"
The twins of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hizashi, also have a good reputation among the ninjas of Konoha.
It should be possible to resist Shukaku for a while, although it will be very difficult, as the contortion techniques of the Hyuga clan are extremely difficult to use against the Ichibi.
However, good fortune never comes alone, and just when Minato and Shikaku breathed a sigh of relief, a shocking explosion broke out from behind the Konoha ninja army.
Then he saw Hanzo standing on top of the giant Sansho Fish, leading the Rain Ninja to successfully break through Konoha's defense line.
"Oops!" Minato's heart tightened.
"Fighting with us and being distracted so many times, isn't it a bit too contemptuous of us?
