Chapter 286: Post-war troubles, Konoha must be dragged into the water

"The Mizukage died, the Raikage and the Hokage are seriously injured, the Tsuchikage, what should we do next?"

While flying steadily in the air, the Third Kazekage couldn't help but ask.

In fact, before the war started, Fengying never thought that his side would lose, and lose so badly.

To the point that now he doesn't know what to do. After all, he has never thought about the terrible situation he will face after being defeated.

The Third Tsuchikage remained silent after hearing this. After a long while, he spoke in a deep voice:

"What else can we do? Do we have any other options besides preparing for war? Submission to Uchiha Liuyun... I don't think you, the Kazekage, would be happy about that..."

"..."

"It would be fine if he dared to fight all of us head-on, but I'm afraid he would use the tailed beasts to attack the major ninja villages... or just destroy the village like the Hidden Mist Village and then just walk away..."

The more the Third Kazekage thought about it, the more his head hurt, and the more scared he became.

The Third Tsuchikage sighed heavily upon hearing this. Aren’t the Third Kazekage’s concerns also his concerns?

"In the face of the current situation, I suggest that you, the Sand Village, should temporarily cease fire with the Konoha Village... It would be wise to retain your manpower to deal with Uchiha Ryuun." Ohnoki gave a suggestion.

"Well, I will seriously consider whether to cease fire."

The Third Kazekage did not give a clear answer, but Ōnoki did not care what choice he would make later.

"You guys can do whatever you want... Anyway, the two Jinchūriki of our village are already in his hands. I don't think that guy will have nothing better to do and go and attack our Iwagakure Village. From now on, you guys can only wish for the best..."

Ohnoki suddenly muttered this in a very bachelor-like manner.

Upon hearing this, the Third Kazekage became instantly angry.

"What the Tsuchikage said... At the beginning, it was you three major ninja villages who came to me and asked me to help get rid of Uchiha Ryuun... I agreed without hesitation at the time. Now that we have been defeated, isn't it a bit too much for you to say such a self-reliant thing???"

The Third Kazekage complained in dissatisfaction.

Their Sand Village had never offended Uchiha Ryuun. It was because the four daimyos and three kage came to him and asked him for help that led to today's battle.

Now that they have lost the fight, Iwagakure Village, one of the instigators, has started to give up and sell out its allies???

"Ahem... I'm just reminding you to be careful of Uchiha Liuyun... I don't mean to shirk my responsibility. After all, you know that I hate Uchiha Liuyun to the core. As long as he's alive, our Land of Earth will be unable to sleep or eat in peace..."

The Third Tsuchikage realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly made amends.

"According to my personal inference, if that guy still wants to collect the tailed beasts, he will inevitably continue to conflict with the five major ninja villages. I think his next target will most likely be the One-Tailed Beast of your Sand Village, the Seven-Tailed Beast of Takigakure Village, or the Eight-Tailed Beast of Kumogakure Village."

The Third Tsuchikage made his analysis with a serious look on his face.

"Why can't it be the Six-Tails from the Hidden Mist Village, or the Nine-Tails from the Konoha Village..." The Third Kazekage was obviously stunned for a moment, and then his face turned completely dark.

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is Uchiha Ryuun's lover. How could that guy possibly want to take advantage of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...

"The Hidden Mist Village was just attacked by Uchiha Ryuun, and it is highly unlikely that he will attack again. Of course, since the Hidden Mist Village is still in a damaged state, and now that the Mizukage has died in battle, it is possible that he will go to the Hidden Mist Village again to capture the Vulpix..."

The Third Tsuchikage said some nonsense to himself.

In fact, the Hidden Rock Village is the safest at this moment, because there are no tailed beasts in their village now... Right now, they don't have to worry about Uchiha Liuyun coming to kill them...

"Tsuchikage, please stop talking nonsense. I want to know what you, the Hidden Rock Village, will do next? You don't really want to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers, do you?"

The Third Kazekage spoke with an annoyed look on his face.

"We are all in the same boat now. If the boat sinks, everyone will suffer. So the Iwagakure Village must not think of staying out of it."

"I know... I can guarantee that the Hidden Rock Village will not sit idly by and watch you fall into trouble... We must take a long-term view on the issue of Uchiha Ryuun, and the Five Kage Talks must continue..."

The Third Kazekage nodded, then sighed and asked another tricky question: "Now that the Mizukage has died in battle, who will inform the Hidden Mist Village..."

"Let me go... Let's split into two groups. You send the seriously injured Raikage back to the Hidden Cloud Village for treatment, and I will go and notify the Hidden Mist Village to collect the bodies..." The Third Tsuchikage took the initiative to take over this task.

"After you send the people away, immediately contact the Hidden Mist Village together with the Hidden Cloud Village. Don't let them mistakenly think that we have joined forces to kill the Third Mizukage..."

The Third Tsuchikage rubbed his brows and reminded.

"They dare? Why would we kill the Mizukage when we have nothing better to do..."

"Now is a sensitive period for the Hidden Mist Village. We must avoid misunderstandings if possible..."

"All right……"

The Third Kazekage nodded helplessly, and then raised the last tricky question:

"Should this battle be made public?"

"Once the news of the defeat of the Five Kage comes out, the entire ninja world will be in turmoil, and the political power of major countries may even become unstable because of it."

"But if we conceal this news, the death of the Third Mizukage will become even more troublesome..."

The Third Kazekage expressed his concerns and thoughts one after another.

"The outcome of this battle cannot be made public. We are the 'Shadow' and we cannot lose, nor can we afford to lose... If even we lose, the morale of the people below will be dispersed..." Oonoki gave a gloomy reply.

"I will continue to communicate with the Hidden Mist Village. I believe that the top leaders of the Hidden Mist Village are not fools and should be able to distinguish right from wrong..."

"Okay, that's it for now... let's split up." The Third Kazekage nodded and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, when you go back, contact the Daimyo of the Wind Country. We still need to unite to put pressure on the Fire Country and Konoha Village..." Ohnoki continued with a cold face.

"Putting pressure on Konoha...you mean..."

Before the Third Kazekage could finish his words, Ohnoki nodded:

"I suspect that Sarutobi Hiruzen was hit on purpose, or even pretended to be dead... How could such a great ninja be so vulnerable? Konoha suffered the least loss in this battle, or in other words, Konoha has never suffered much loss in the face of Uchiha Ryuun and his men..."

"No matter what, Uchiha Ryuun defected from Konoha. Konoha Village always watched that bastard harm other ninja villages, but they always stayed out of it...

Want to use Uchiha Ryuun to weaken the four great nations? How can we let them do that?"

"If we can't survive, then the Land of Fire and Konoha Village won't have an easy life either!"

The Third Tsuchikage felt that he had to drag Konoha Village into the water.

"Yes! I said a long time ago that Konoha deliberately condoned Uchiha Liuyun's evil deeds. You bastards not only did not support me... but also accused me of destroying unity..."

"..."
