Chapter 366: The Hidden Sound Village needs blood to grow, Uchiha Itachi volunteers

"Damn it, that guy really acts without any scruples!"

When Nagato learned that the Rain Country had officially declared war on them, the leader of the Akatsuki organization suddenly panicked.

"I told you that what Madara did would only cause bigger trouble. Moreover, the three countries of Thunder, Wind and Water have all come to us to ask for people, and they have already assembled their troops on the border. The three countries claim that if you don't hand over the people within 24 hours, they will invade the Rain Country." Xiaonan said with a worried look on his face.

In fact, the coalition of three countries could not make Nagato feel afraid. Even if the Sound Village was added, it would not matter. The one he was really afraid of was always Uchiha Ryuun!

Not long after, Uchiha Obito, who was far away on the Water and Earth battlefield, received a message from Tendo Pain.

When Uchiha Obito learned that the Hidden Sound Village had attacked the Land of Rain, his face became as ugly as Nagato's.

"That bastard... is he trying to start a war with us early?"

"The most urgent thing is to return to the Land of Rain first. We should put things on hold with Uchiha Itachi for now. Anyway, it's unlikely that guy will join us in the short term..." Black Zetsu suggested.

"This is the only way..." Uchiha Obito nodded, and then led Black Zetsu to perform the space eye technique.

Yuyin Village.

In the Shadow Palace Garden.

"I've only been away from Otogakure for a few months, and you've already given me such a big 'surprise'..."

Orochimaru's face was filled with helplessness. He suspected that this traitor might be tired of seeing him enjoying himself outside, so he deliberately made such a big fuss to force him back to the village...

"Someone has ridden on me and shit on me. If I don't fight back, others will think I'm easy to bully..." Liuyun said casually while playing with the special kunai in his hand.

"Ah??? Dad, who is so disgusting? He actually rode on your head and pooped???" Nanase looked at Liuyun's head with disgust.

"I'm just using a metaphor... Children shouldn't interrupt when adults are talking. Just go play in the sand..." Liuyun scolded angrily.

"oh oh……"

"Those guys in Akatsuki... are lawless and they really deserve to be beaten. It would be good to teach them a lesson." Orochimaru nodded and said.

He already knew the whole story, so he also supported Liuyun's decision.

He didn't care about Liuyun starting a war without authorization. Since the founding of Yinyin Village, Yinying and Anying had been given the power to start a war. Liuyun's move was not actually an overstepping of authority.

"Well, teacher, I'd like to ask you to act as the commander-in-chief of the ninja army for a while. After all, when it comes to fighting, there are few people who are better than you..." Liuyun praised generously.

"Hmph, you're not thinking of slacking off again, are you?" Orochimaru snorted coldly, pretending to be dissatisfied.

"No way... With this, I can charge into the battlefield at any time. As long as I want, I can attack the Hidden Rain Village by myself..." Liuyun raised the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand and said with a smile.

"Don't... It's rare for the Otogakure Village to encounter a good opponent. I don't want to end this war too soon..." Orochimaru said seriously.

"Haha... Teacher, it seems we have the same idea..." Liuyun said with a smile.

The Hidden Sound Village and the Hidden Rain Village went to war, and both Ryuun and Orochimaru intended to use the enemy to train their troops.

Their village has never experienced a proper war since its establishment, so it is obviously not enough to rely solely on two Kage to hold the fort.

Moreover, it is not good to have too many good-for-nothings in the village, nor is it good to have too many useless people. A suitable war will help the growth of Yinyin Village, and the battlefield of survival of the fittest will help them select the best subordinates.

Winning the war would also greatly increase the sense of honor and belonging of all the ninjas in the Hidden Sound Village. It was not easy to control a person's mind through long-term brainwashing alone. The Hidden Sound Village needed to have a record and history to show for itself. The glory of the Phantom Sun Dragon God was ultimately personal; he could represent the collective, but he did not belong to it...

Orochimaru wants to build Otogakure into the sixth largest ninja village that is not inferior to the 'Five Big Gangsters'. If he wants to achieve this goal quickly, the best option is to start a controllable war!

With Liuyun as his support, he never doubted whether his side could win the war. Without this worry, all that remained was to think about how to train the soldiers well...

"Teacher, since you already know the situation, you can't accuse me of being lazy. It was you who didn't let me participate..."

Liuyun said with a smile.

"I'll leave the minions of the Hidden Rain Village to you. If those guys in the Akatsuki organization dare to attack you, I can fly over and deal with them at any time..."

Orochimaru rolled his eyes at him upon hearing this, then stood up and left, heading to the studio to arrange the subsequent war.

Compared to the battlefield in the Land of Rain, which is surrounded by enemies and under pressure from the ninja army, the four main battlefields in the ninja world are obviously much smaller, especially the battlefields of thunder and fire, water and fire, and wind and fire.

After a period of ceasefire negotiations, the Land of Lightning took the initiative to sign a peace agreement with Konoha and officially announced the result to the ninja world. The war between the two countries ended!

Without the threat and pressure from the Land of Lightning, Konoha divided the ninjas who retreated from the battlefield of thunder and fire into four groups and redistributed their tasks.

Minato led a group of ninjas to the most dangerous Fire and Earth battlefield, and another two groups supported the Wind and Fire and Water and Fire battlefields respectively. The remaining young people returned to Konoha to relieve the heavy task pressure in the village.

Two months later, the two countries announced a complete ceasefire. After three days of negotiations, the two countries formally signed a peace agreement!

The Fourth Mizukage was busy resolving the increasingly serious internal crisis, but Konoha Village was not actually peaceful either. Internal conflicts and crises also existed, but the situation in Konoha was far less serious than that in the Hidden Mist Village.

The Third Shinobi World War has been going on for so many years, and there are conflicts within every ninja village. No matter who is in power, they cannot prevent such things from happening.

In Konoha Village, the Uchiha clan is arguably the most difficult of all the major ninja clans... They have a large population, and their unruly character means they are destined to be feared and disliked by every ruler.

"Itachi... The Uchiha clan has a huge problem. The ambitions of those people have even affected the safety of the village. I am considering whether to purge them..."

After learning some information from Uchiha Itachi, the family spy, Hatake Sakumo revealed this idea to him with a serious face.

The Uchiha clan would definitely not be exterminated, and Hatake Sakumo would not do such a thing, but some stubborn traitors had to be cleaned up in advance to prevent them from inciting more clansmen in the future and bringing greater trouble and threats to Konoha Village.

Uchiha Itachi is the successor of the 'Will of Fire'. Hatake Sakumo does not doubt his loyalty and is willing to confess his thoughts to him.

"The Uchiha clan has a large population, so it's inevitable that there will be some scum and traitors. Hokage, please give me some time to investigate thoroughly. When the time comes, I will personally eliminate those scourges for Konoha..."

As Uchiha Itachi spoke, the original three magatama suddenly turned into the Mangekyō Sharingan, and he was expressing to the Hokage that he had the power to suppress the rebels.

"Itachi, you... actually opened the same eyes as Ryuun-kun!" Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but exclaimed.
