260. Raikage-sama, no good, Iwagakure is coming!
·
Tian Gan Sheng Tu
On the endless sea.
A large fleet of ships gradually approached the coastline of the hinterland of the Kingdom of Thunder.
There are hundreds of ships in this fleet, large and small.
In recent times, Kumogakure has focused most of his attention on Yunokuni and Konoha, so his vigilance on the coastline has been reduced a lot.
At this moment, this huge fleet is approaching the Kingdom of Thunder, but Kumogakure has not noticed it yet.
On one of the large ships, Onoki looked at the jounin who had gathered together and said: "We will dock in a while, leaving some people to guard the ship, and the others will follow me and rush to Yunyin Village in the shortest possible time!"
"Remember, the speed of this raid must be fast, not giving Kumogakure too much time to react, and we must retreat before the Third Raikage guy comes back. At least we must take away all the supplies before he comes back. .”
"It's up to you how much you can gain during this period!"
Looking around, Onoki said in a deep voice.
Then he turned his gaze to the silent little purple figure in the corner, and said with a dark face: "Old Zi, it's up to you later. I must break the defensive barrier of Yunyin Village with one blow."
To be honest, Onoki was actually more willing to bring Han here, but he was worried about leaving Lao Zi on the front line. Huang Tu couldn't command Lao Zi, so after thinking about it, he still brought Lao Zi.
"Stop being so verbose, I understand."
Lao Zi replied impatiently. Ohnoki kept saying these words to him on the way, and it was annoying to hear them.If it weren't for Iwagakure, he wouldn't have done it.
Lao Zi has already decided that when this war is over, he will immediately leave the village and travel around.
Even if you can only wander around the soil country, it is better than watching Onoki's face in Iwagakure Village.
Lao Zi's attitude made Onoki very angry. He thought that he was a dignified Tsuchikage, and he kept talking about everything inside Iwagakure, but by chance, he met Lao Zi, a thug who was not stingy and cut meat, and wanted to go against him, but he happened to do it again. You can't do anything to Lao Zi.
Forcibly imprison Lao Zi in the village?That village might be bombed.
Ohnoki took a deep breath and decided not to worry about Lao Zi for the time being, as long as he completed the task.
Soon the ship docked.
Onoki and his party quickly landed.
Except for a small group of people who stayed to watch the ship, everyone else had already landed.
Ohnoki's short body floated in the air, glanced around, and shouted: "Everyone, let's go!"
Whoosh whoosh!
For a time, hundreds of figures followed closely behind Ohnoki and rushed towards Yunyin Village.
It can be seen that most of their faces are full of excitement and excitement. In their opinion, this operation is foolproof and they are destined to return with a full harvest.
······
the other side.
Cloudy Village.
Raiying Office.
The Third Raikage, who was covered in white bandages, suddenly stood up from his seat, with a furious look on his face, and split the table in front of him into two with one punch.
"Asshole! Damn Konoha, damn Namikaze Flame Gate, are they really not going to return the Eight-Tails?"
"Are they going to start a war again?"
"Too deceiving!"
The blond secretary standing next to her gently pushed up her glasses. She looked at the broken table on the ground without saying a word, as if she was used to it.
This is already the third table that Raikage has destroyed today. Forget it, let's leave it at that. I won't change it for him now, lest it be broken by him again.
When the furious Raikage gradually calmed down, the blond secretary said: "According to Konoha's current reply, they did not mention the Eight-Tails issue. We are not sure how they will deal with the Eight-Tails for the time being."
"Hmph! It must be the Wave of Feng Yan Sect that is causing trouble!" Lei Ying's expression was gloomy. If he had known that he would not betray last night, the end result would have been the same.
"Have you confirmed the outcome of the battle? Is Namikaze Enmon still alive? Where is Madara Uchiha?"
After thinking about it, Raikage asked again.
He left immediately after being seriously injured last night and did not pay attention to the subsequent battle, so Raikage did not know who would win and who would lose in this battle.
It wasn't until people were sent to check this morning that they discovered that the fighting was over.
"There is no definite news yet. Although the battle has ended, except for traces of the battle, no Namikaze Flame Gate or Uchiha Madara was found at the scene. However, according to Konoha's reaction, Namikaze Flame Gate should not be dead, otherwise they would not be alive now So confident. As for Uchiha Madara, this cannot be confirmed unless there is news from Konoha."
"The Namikaze Enmen is not dead?" Upon hearing this news, Raikage was very unhappy. This was obviously not the answer he wanted to hear.
"Keep checking, I want to know more accurate information."
"Yes."
At the same time, a figure rushed into the office in a hurry.
"Raikage-sama, it's bad! Iwagakure is knocking on the door!"
? ?
These words were nothing more than a thunder that instantly exploded in Leiying's ears.
He looked at the visitor slightly blankly and asked, "What did you just say?"
The Kumo ninja in front of him took a breath, and then said: "I just received news that the Third Tsuchikage Onoki is leading a force into the Kingdom of Thunder. At this time, they are rapidly approaching our village!"
"what!?"
The Raikage was shocked by this news.
Soon enough, there was a roar outside the window. Raikage looked around and saw a tailed beast jade falling towards the village, hitting the village's defensive barrier hard.
boom!
!
The Raikage was very happy at this moment. He was lucky that he had kept the barrier open since he came back in order to prevent the Namikaze Flame Gate from attacking. Unexpectedly, it really came in handy.
But what follows is fury, a rage that reaches the sky!
Although the defensive barrier blocked most of the attacks, the remaining parts still caused great damage to the village.
What he saw was a large area of ruins. Many ordinary people were trapped under the ruins, and the sound of wailing instantly filled the entire village.
The Raikage was furious and looked up, just in time to see Onoki floating in the air. The anger in his heart finally vented at this moment: "Onoki! You are looking for death!
"
boom!
Raikage's body was covered with thunder escape armor, and he jumped with an electric arc. He instantly rose into the sky and disappeared from where he was.
At the same time, Ohnoki heard someone calling him, and when he heard it, he was startled.
What's going on? Why is Sandaai here?Shouldn't he be in Tang Country at this time?
What went wrong?
However, he could no longer think too much at this moment, as a figure as fast as lightning was approaching him at an extremely fast speed.
"Ohnoki, I want you to die!"
Raikage launched an attack on Ohnoki with full of anger, but Ohnoki did not dare to directly attack and quickly dodged.
"Raikage, why are you here?" Ohnoki asked in surprise after dodging Raikage's attack.
However, Raikage would not answer Ohnoki's question at this time.
"Damn! How could this be!"
Ohnoki cursed in his mind while dealing with the Raikage.
What was originally a good sneak attack ended up running into the Third Raikage, and Ohnoki didn't know who to scold now.
But at this time, there was no turning back when the bow was fired. At this point, Ohnoki could only bite the bullet and fight the Raikage.
In an instant, the two sides started a fierce battle. In just a few moments, Yunyin Village was devastated, with ruins everywhere.
Among them, a large number of Kumogakure's manpower were organizing the retreat of the civilians, and they also had to protect them, so they were temporarily at a disadvantage in the battle with the Iwa ninja.
······
at the same time.
Enmon and Kushina were quickly heading towards the Land of Thunder.
Running among the mountains and forests, Kushina's heart was filled with joy, and the smile on her face never faded.
As long as she is not in the village, she is very happy.
Seeing her like this, Yanmen couldn't help but slow down.
Enmon thinks that he can take Kushina out more in the future, or take her on missions or something. There are five people in a four-person team, is it normal?
Just as Enmon was thinking about it, Kushina suddenly turned around and asked, "Enmon, do you know where Iwa Ninja and the others are now?"
"Let me see."
Yanmen stopped, pointed an index finger on the ground, and his sensing ability spread out instantly.
"Have you mastered this move of the second generation?" Kushina exclaimed.
"Well, it's not difficult. You can learn it when you have time." Yanmen smiled, and then his eyes lit up and he said, "I found it!"
"Let's go quickly, they are fighting now!"
Kushina was slightly shocked: "A fight has started? So fast? Then leave quickly."
Soon, the two of them were on their way.
"Yanmen, do you think we should intervene later?"
"No rush, let's take a look first and then take action when the time is right. Before that, we must hide well, otherwise they will definitely stop immediately once they see us."
Kushina couldn't help but worry, "Are we sure there will be no problems if we do this? What if Kumogakure and Iwagakure join forces again, will the war continue?"
Yanmen smiled and said: "Don't worry, I didn't say I would definitely take action. Let's see the situation first."
"Yeah." Kushina nodded.
······
The border of the land country.
After a fierce war of words, Konoha and Iwagakure initially reached a truce agreement.
In the agreement, Iwagakure made concessions. They would admit their defeat, pay compensation to Konoha for military expenses, and promise not to provoke another war for at least ten years.
Konoha readily accepted the concessions made by Iwagakure.
So the two sides began to discuss the alliance again.
Iwagakure didn't know that Konoha had guessed their actions, so they described the alliance as mutual benefit and win-win cooperation. However, Konoha did not make this clear.
If you want to be a white wolf with nothing, it doesn’t exist.
If you want to form an alliance, you have to offer some benefits.
After all, Iwagakure is different from Sunagakure. Iwagakure's war potential is still there. Unlike Sunagakure, they were directly disabled. Konoha's alliance with Sunagakure can occupy a dominant position. However, alliance with Iwagakure is beneficial to Konoha. Not big.
Moreover, Iwagakure was able to backstab Kumogakure this time, and he can also backstab Konoha next time. In this case, there is no benefit, so how could Konoha relent.
Just when Iwagakure was talking about the benefits of the alliance, Nara Shikaku said in a cryptic way, which basically means stop pretending. We have seen through your plan a long time ago. If we want to form an alliance, we must show Iwagakure's integrity. Otherwise, no need to discuss.
Nara Shikaku's words instantly shocked everyone in Iwagakure.
What does he mean?Did they get any news?
Loess immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Haha, I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, but we suddenly have something to discuss. How about we put the alliance on hold until we come to a conclusion before continuing?"
"No problem." Tsunade acted very generously. Anyway, it's not Konoha that's anxious now.
Then Huang Tu and his party left the camp and found a hidden corner to discuss secretly.
Han's expression was ugly and he said: "Is it a rumor that was leaked? How could Konoha know..."
Another Iwa Ninja said: "No, I'm not sure yet. Maybe they are just deceiving us."
"That makes sense. Our plan is so hidden, there's no reason for them to know about it."
"Could it be that Lord Tsuchikage has not appeared for a long time, which aroused their suspicion?"
Everyone immediately became quiet. There was nothing that could be done about the Tsuchikage's absence. As for finding someone to impersonate, that was impossible. Konoha had Byakugan and could easily spot the disguise.
After being quiet for a while, Huang Tu scratched the back of his head and asked, "What should we do now? From their tone just now, it seems that as long as we don't provide some benefits, they will not agree to form an alliance."
Someone asked tentatively: "How about...refuse?"
They had already paid a large amount of compensation for the peace talks, and now they had to pay another sum for the alliance. They felt distressed.
After all, Iwagakure isn't rich either.
"No! The alliance was requested by Lord Tsuchikage. This alliance must be made." Loess objected immediately.
Only by forming an alliance with Konoha, their sneak attack will not be regarded as a backstabbing ally. Even if a discerning person can see what is going on, they have to use this fig leaf, otherwise Iwagakure's credibility will really be ruined. Got it!
You know, the credibility of a village often determines the degree of trust your customers have in you.
In a village that likes to backstab its allies, who else would dare to issue a mission to you? What if you backstab your employer?
Once their reputation is reduced, the number of tasks they receive will decrease in the next few years or even longer. The lower number of tasks means lower income, which will lead to a series of things that follow.
All in all, it's very troublesome.
But no matter what, they have to maintain their credibility, even if it looks a bit "shabby", it is better than the infamous Kusakure.
Everyone looked at each other and finally said helplessly: "Then we can only agree to give Konoha some benefits..."
The atmosphere was a little gloomy.
But then someone said: "It's okay, there are still Tsuchikage-sama, they will definitely be able to return with a full load this time!"
However, his words obviously did not resonate with others. After all, the news not long ago had already indicated that Onoki's operation would not go smoothly.
After all, the Third Raikage is probably in the village right now!
No one dared to think about it any more, because their intelligence officers had not found Ohnoki yet, and maybe there was already a fight over there.
······
A large fleet of ships gradually approached the coastline of the hinterland of the Kingdom of Thunder.
There are hundreds of ships in this fleet, large and small.
