Chapter 420: The Earth Escape Army Enters the Land of Thunder

It’s chaos, chaos, the whole ninja world is in chaos.

If a war broke out between Konoha and Sand Village a few years ago, everyone would be able to understand it.

After all, the Sand Village made all kinds of provocations, trying to break through the blockade of the village through war, attempting to defeat Konoha and seize the resources of the Fire Country to feed back to the village.

With greater strength, ambitions naturally grow, and it is understandable that they would launch a war against Konoha.

Thus, the two villages started a war that lasted for three years.

The war between Konoha and Sand Village seemed to be over, but the Cloud Village and Mist Village started fighting in a confused manner.

What's going on?

People in the ninja world said they couldn't understand it.

The Sand Village declared war on Konoha because of the resources of the Land of Fire. What are you trying to achieve by having the Cloud Village and the Mist Village go to war?

What about the little fish?

What's even more outrageous is that the Mist Village actively cooperated.

If you want friction, we, the Mist Village, will give it to you. If you want a bigger conflict, we, the Mist Village, will also give it to you. And when you want to start a war, we, the Mist Village, will still cooperate with you.

Is Yagura out of his mind?

You have just become the Mizukage, shouldn't you stabilize your position, gain people's hearts and support, and develop steadily?

How did they get into a fight with those highland barbarians from the Cloud Ninja Village?

Now, not long after the Cloud Village and the Mist Village started fighting, the Rock Village decisively declared war on the Cloud Village. The most elite earth escape corps of the Rock Village headed straight for the Land of Lightning, trying to bring the war to the borders of the Land of Lightning.

The small countries and villages who learned the news were almost scared to death. Fortunately, the Iwagakure was not interested in them. The target of the Iwagakure was the Kumogakure.

The sea limits the number of combat ninjas in the Cloud Village and the Mist Village.

The war between the Cloud Village and the Mist Village meant that the two villages could not deploy too many troops at once.

Because transportation cannot keep up, supplies are also a big problem.

But it is different in land wars. It is normal for thousands of ninjas to rush to the battlefield, and that is what the Iwagakure did.

Either don't fight, or concentrate your strength and give the Cloud Ninja Village a hard blow.

The Cloud Village was on alert, but they didn't take it seriously, because no one, including the Third Raikage, thought that the Rock Village would join the war so soon and would declare war only after the war started.

It won't be too late to declare war slowly after our Iwagakure's ninja army rushes into your Land of Lightning.

The main thing is excitement.

Without complete defense, the troops on the border would definitely not be enough.

So, the Earth Escape Army of the Iwagakure Village rushed into the territory of the Land of Thunder in a swagger.

"Everyone."

The Third Hokage had a tense and worried face. He slapped the documents on the table and said loudly:

"Now that the Rock Ninja Village has rushed into the territory of the Land of Lightning without declaring war, our allies hope that we can send a group of people to attack the Land of Earth from behind to relieve the pressure on the Land of Lightning."

In Konoha's view, what the Iwagakure did was tantamount to an undeclared war.

What does it mean to fight without declaration?

They did it in secret, without first announcing a declaration of war, they sent troops to attack.

Even though the Iwagakure issued a declaration of war later, it is the same as not issuing it at all. You have already fought to the Land of Lightning, what's the point of declaring war!

The Iwagakure Village also joined the war, which meant that Konoha had no choice but to fight.

Unfortunately, there was a huge wave of anti-war voices in the village, which put great pressure on the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage was so anxious that he was almost in danger, but in the conference room, all the senior executives looked at him in silence.

The situation in the village is very complicated. How to fight, how many people to send, and who will fight all require negotiation.

Alas~~~~

Looking at the silent senior executives, Mizuto Menyan sighed with a headache. How did this situation come about?

It seems to have started when the F4 group began to weaken the voice and power of the top management.

The right to speak and the power in their hands have been weakened without knowing it, resulting in most of the senior executives becoming mere figureheads. Over time, everyone has the mentality of just going with the flow when attending meetings.

"Huruzen, have the aid supplies from the Kumogakure arrived?"

As a last resort, Mizuto Menyan had to stand up and break the silence.

"The aid materials are already on the way. The Raikage promised that they will be delivered to Konoha soon. He hopes that Konoha can abide by the duties of an ally and fulfill the obligations that an ally should fulfill."

"Then prepare for war."

Mizuto Menyan thought about it, but couldn't find a better solution.

As for the troubles in the village, the Third Hokage needs to deal with them personally. After all, he, Minato, does not have that power. Of course, he does not dare to take over these things casually, because once he takes over, there will be the risk of taking the blame and being scolded.

Look at Utane Koharu, she has been scolded to death.

Mitomon En doesn't want to become the second Utatane Koharu.

"Then get ready."

Looking at everyone who was still silent, the Third Hokage's eyes twitched, and then he announced the adjournment of the meeting.

This high-level meeting cannot go on.

"Stay quiet for a moment."

The others left, so they left, the Third Hokage didn't care, but Shizuichi couldn't leave yet.

"I?"

Hasn't the war been decided?

Why are you still keeping me?

With a puzzled look on his face, Jingyi simply sat back in his chair, drank his tea leisurely, and waited patiently. He was very curious about what the Third Hokage wanted to talk to him about.

It can't be about war.

There's no point in asking him for help in this matter.

Soon, only a few people were left in the huge conference room.

The Third Hokage sat at the head seat, as well as Shizuichi, Nara Shikashin, Mitomon En, and Utane Koharu.

Looking at the four people except himself, the Third Hokage said with a headache: "Everyone, now the high-level meeting has become a silent meeting. I think this is not good. The village needs to change."

"Indeed..." Mizuto Menyan was about to agree.

As a result, he was interrupted by an inappropriate sneer.

Mizuto Menen looked up.

The person who sneered was definitely Jingyi.

"Cough cough!!!"

Nara Shikashin gave Jingyi a silent look, "Why are you laughing at such a serious moment? Can't you just hold it in for a moment?"

He hoped that his cough could ease the awkward atmosphere in the meeting room, but unfortunately, he thought too much.

Veins bulged on the Third Hokage's forehead.

"Jingyi, are the words of this old man ridiculous?"

It was clear from the tone of his voice that the Third Hokage was unhappy.

As someone who is good at managing his emotions, you rarely see such anger on the Third Hokage's face.

Too bad, it doesn't scare anyone.

"Isn't it ridiculous?"

Jingyi spread out his palms innocently: "The high-level seats were allocated by the first generation to qualified or meritorious individuals or families. As long as the individuals or families have seats, they can express their own suggestions at the high-level meetings. No matter whether they are good or bad, everyone has the right to speak."
