Chapter 441: Similar Behavior, Different Nature
"That old man Ohnoki has also figured out that we don't want to fight to the death with the Iwagakure, so he sent his son to the Land of Grass and set up a battle formation to wait for our attack. His purpose is also to delay us."
Speaking of this, Chiyo's face turned unhappy.
This Ōnoki is getting more cunning as he gets older.
Although our two villages joined forces to attack in order to delay you, it is a bit shameless for you to use our tactics against us.
"What about the information from the Mist Village?"
The Third Hokage asked.
Mizuto Menen decisively dug out the information and handed it to the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage looked at the information carefully and frowned:
"The idea of the Mist Village is probably similar to ours. It is also to delay the Cloud Village, or it is intentional. Apart from the Kaguya clan, the Snow clan, and the Kizuna clan, no other forces participated in the war. They also sent some civilian ninjas to cooperate."
Why does this pattern look familiar?
and many more! ! !
Thinking of this, the Third Hokage's face fell.
Yagura, you deserve to die!!
"Hokage, what did you see?"
Seeing the Third Hokage's big reaction, Chiyo concluded that he must have figured out something.
The Third Hokage angrily clenched the scroll in his hand and said through gritted teeth:
"I felt strange before. The Mist Village just replaced the Mizukage, so they should have needed stable development. Why would they fight with the Cloud Village? Even if it was just to compete for the sea area, it shouldn't be that serious. Now it seems that the Mist Village is deliberately provoking a war!!!"
"Did they do it on purpose?" Chiyo was slightly surprised.
The Sand Village did not get much intelligence. After all, they and the Cloud Village were not allies, and the Cloud Village could not share most of the intelligence with them.
Chiyo was too busy gloating over other people's misfortune to think much about the cause of the war.
As a result, the Third Hokage suddenly said that this war was deliberately provoked by the Mist Village.
"To be precise, the person who started this war was Yagura, you see."
The Third Hokage took a deep breath and unfolded the scroll, pointing to some of the records in the scroll:
"Most of the ninjas from the Mist Village who participated in the war came from these families and a small number of civilian ninjas."
"Isn't this the same as your Konoha?"
Chiyo also felt a sense of familiarity. After thinking about it, she found that isn’t it the same in Konoha?
The Third Hokage: “….”
Mitomon En: “….”
Both of them looked at Chiyo in silence. Can you speak?
You can't speak, can you please shut up?
Yagura sent the ninjas from these families and forces to fight in order to eliminate dissidents, while they did so to make meritorious deeds and atone for their sins. This is completely different concept.
"Ahem, sorry." Realizing that she had said something she shouldn't have said, Chiyo hesitated for a moment, but still apologized to the Third Hokage.
Forget it. I won’t bother with an old woman like you.
Shaking his head, the Third Hokage continued his analysis:
"In order to eliminate dissidents, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura deliberately provoked a war because he knew that the scale of the war between the Cloud Village and the Mist Village would not expand. Even if all the people sent out died, it would make Yagura's position as Mizukage more stable."
"Then he found a way to convince Ōnoki, and the Iwagakure started a war?"
Mitomon En was not quite sure about this because he thought Oonoki was not such a stupid person.
Knowing that the Mist Village was deliberately using them, they still put all their efforts into launching a war. If they lost, Ohnoki would be in trouble.
"Haha, fight, fight. The more intense the fight, the better. Then everyone will be balanced."
After understanding the whole cause and effect, Chiyo did not worry about the situation of the Cloud Village. Instead, she laughed with glee.
The Sand Village started a war and fought a life-and-death battle with Konoha, suffering heavy losses. It will take a long time for the village to recover, but it feels terrible to have a neighbor who is so strong and powerful that he often comes to bully others.
Now, this powerful neighbor has gone to attack another neighbor.
This is a good thing.
The Sand Village and Konoha became weak because of the war, the Mist Village was weakened by internal strife and the war, and it also needs a long time to develop. The Rock Village and the Cloud Village were fighting fiercely, and no matter who wins the war, the final result will be recuperation.
It is equivalent to the fact that the strength of the five major ninja villages were suddenly brought to the same level.
Everyone is weak and everyone needs development. This is definitely good news for the Sand Village.
So Chiyo smiled happily.
Chiyo can laugh, but the Third Hokage and Mito Kado En cannot. Even if the strength of the Kumogakure and the Iwagakure is weakened and everyone returns to the same level of development, they cannot laugh.
They are allies after all.
Chiyo smiled. The Cloud Village wouldn't care if they knew about this. After all, they and the Sand Village only had an employment relationship.
If the Third Hokage and Mito Kado En laughed and it reached the ears of the Cloud Ninja Village, it would be a lot of fun.
Deliberately mocking allies and gloating over other people's misfortunes... This will make the already bad reputation of the Third Hokage and others even worse.
So I could only endure it and hold it in. I couldn’t laugh.
"Ahem, send a copy of the analyzed information to the Cloud Ninja Village."
You definitely can't laugh, so you can only share the information.
As for what choice the Cloud Ninja Village will make, they don’t need to worry about it. They just need to fight the current war well.
The Third Raikage is naturally concerned about the affairs of the Cloud Village.
The information shared by Konoha soon reached the Cloud Village.
In fact, the Third Raikage himself came to his senses without the need for a message.
From the perspective of war, the Cloud Village was impulsive, but the Mist Village was very cooperative and showed an attitude of not being afraid of going to war with you, so the war was on the verge of breaking out. After the Third Raikage came to his senses, he realized that he had been used.
Good job Yagura!!!
Unfortunately, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. The war has reached this point. Let alone turning back, we can’t even turn around. We can only continue fighting.
Fortunately, the scale of the war with the Mist Village has not expanded, and it only needs to be dragged out.
The real enemy is the Iwagakure.
In the Land of Grass, somewhere in a base.
With his eyes closed, Uchiha Madara sat on a stone chair and listened attentively to the information White Zetsu collected from outside.
The outbreak of war in the ninja world again is exactly what Uchiha Madara wanted to see. If he wants to implement the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, the strength of the five major ninja villages must be as weak as possible.
The problem is that the outbreak of the war was a bit confusing, which made Uchiha Madara very uncomfortable as he didn't have the situation under his control.
Nagato has begun to grow up. In order to deal with accidents that may happen at any time, Uchiha Madara moved the base to the Land of Grass with his family. However, just after he arrived, the war broke out. The Sand Village, Konoha, and Iwagakure started fighting in the Land of Grass.
This makes it easier for White Zetsu to collect intelligence, but it also brings a certain risk of being discovered.
After all, White Zetsu is not omnipotent, there is also Black Zetsu.
Being active on the battlefield is not a good thing. After all, if you walk by the river often, your shoes will get wet sooner or later.
It doesn't matter if your shoes get wet, but it would be bad if it affects your Infinite Tsukuyomi plan.
