Chapter 428: Lure the snake out of its hole

After the "Conquest and Suppression Order" was issued, it did not damage the newly established United Empire.

After all, under the leadership of various daimyo, they have begun to prepare troops and supplies in preparation for war.

On the contrary, it suppressed many other small countries and villages!

Because they are in more trouble!

Even a fool can see that the current situation is very bad.

In the past, it was a situation where the five major countries and big villages checked and balanced each other, and no one could defeat the other; this gave a number of small countries and neutral countries a gap for survival.

Now only the Konoha family is left in the five major villages, and the five major countries have also formed a new United Empire.

After this battle.

No matter who loses or wins, those small countries and villages that have no end will inevitably be liquidated...

Either bet in advance and join the war, or be liquidated and left to die afterwards.

All they were left with was a choice between two options.

What's more, the new empire formed by the five major powers also issued orders by name, ordering every village in each country to join the war, which cut off their last hope.

Either take a gamble or wait to die.

For most small countries and villages that are accustomed to comfort, this is simply a dilemma, a dilemma!

But no matter how difficult it is, you still have to make a choice.

After a painful struggle, a large number of small countries and villages also made their choices.

Most countries have chosen to side with the United Empire

Including: the country of iron, the country of soup, the country of frost, the country of rain, the country of rivers, the country of grass, the country of stone, the country of valleys, the country of woods, the country of bears, the country of swamps, the country of mountains...etc. wait.

More than twenty small countries have chosen to join the United Empire.

It even includes the Kingdom of Iron, the strongest neutral country, as well as the Kingdom of Grass and the Kingdom of Tang, which are among the best among small countries.

But at the same time, there are also very few forces that choose to side with Konoha Village.

Tian Nokuni: I choose Orochimaru! No, I choose Konoha Village!

Taki Ninja Village: I also choose Konoha Village!

In addition, it also includes: the country of waves, the country of snow, the country of tea, the country of stuffing, etc. The small countries that have good relations with Konoha are also willing to support Konoha.

Some clues can be seen from the distribution of supporters of both parties.

All countries ruled by daimyo and ordinary people, even if they have their own ninja villages, have always chosen the side of the United Empire.

The reason is also very simple: no big name or powerful person is willing to support the ninja and let the ninja ride on his head.

In their eyes, ninja is always just a weapon and a tool.

When a weapon disobeys, destroying it is the best choice. You will never allow the weapon to backfire on you!

on the other hand.

It is also because of the way countries use economic constraints to ride on the heads of ninja villages and ninjas for too long. It has been so long that they have become aware of the strength gap between themselves and ninjas, and they are a little confused.

Just like someone who has kept a tiger as a pet for too long and mistakenly believes that he can defeat the tiger.

In fact, when the tiger shows off its power, it can eat just the monkey head to its full capacity!

As for the Konoha supporters.

Needless to say, Tian Zhiguo has already transformed into the shape of Orochimaru.

The Taki Ninja Village also chose Konoha very rationally.

After all, this is the only village outside of the five major villages that has tailed beasts and jinchūriki.

They are very aware of the horrors of the upper limit of tailed beasts and ninjas.

Know more about the horror of Konoha!

How strong is Konoha now that it can destroy the other four Great Hidden Villages and their jinchūriki? How many tailed beasts have you even mastered? They simply don’t dare to think about it!

Are you going to besiege Konoha?

That is no different from seeking death!

The Taki Ninja Village even doubted whether this was a trick made by Konoha?

…

Soon, a massive encirclement and suppression operation began.

Dozens of countries formed a million-strong army, which advanced into the Land of Fire from all directions and began to surround Konoha Village.

More than 95% of them are troops composed of ordinary soldiers.

The various small ninja villages and the Iron Kingdom only managed to assemble a combined army of 50,000 ninja warriors; and the quality was also uneven, with the total number of jounin being less than 100...

This is due to the mixture of many escaped ninjas after the destruction of Kumogakure and Kirigakure villages, otherwise the quality would be even worse.

Sure enough, the five major villages were already at the pinnacle of the entire ninja system.

Even though the chuunin sounds inferior, in most small ninja villages, the chuunin of the big village can serve as the head of the village.

However, in the end, the United Empire still assembled a million-strong army.

It sounds very scary.

This is also the first time in the history of the ninja world that so many major powers have united to besiege a ninja village!

So, these days.

In Konoha Village, after hearing the news, most of the Konoha ninjas who were still immersed in the joy of winning the battle in Iwagakure couldn't help but feel cold and subconsciously panicked and worried.

Don't blame them for worrying.

But based on the past few decades, empiricism is too stubborn.

Each Hokage needs to be appointed by a daimyo. This kind of dominance and oppression from superiors to inferiors is also one of the real reasons why many ninjas dare not make enemies with nobles.

As soon as he heard the name of his Fire Country, he actually united the power of the whole world to attack Konoha Village.

How could the villagers in the village not be worried?

Especially at such a critical moment.

My own Fifth Hokage, Orochimaru-sama, is not in the village yet!

In recent times, most of the village's political affairs have been handled by Kakashi, Kabuto, and Anko.

The people of Konoha, who lacked a backbone, were naturally panicked and didn't know how to deal with it?

to this end.

Jiraiya, who was equally anxious and returned to the village first, immediately left the village to look for Aunt Snake.

As the Hokage, Aunt Snake's whereabouts were kept secret from most people, but naturally she couldn't stop Jiraiya from getting the information.

After a trip to Sand Hidden Village, he found Aunt Snake's location and rushed over immediately!

Then I found Aunt Snake herself in the Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire.

"Orochimaru!"

"Why are you here?"

"Do you know what happened? The village has become the enemy of the whole world, and countless troops are attacking the village!"

"The village is in chaos and everyone is in danger!"

"You actually still have time to do experiments here?!"

"What kind of Hokage do you think you are?"

Jiraiya rushed into the hall, grabbed Aunt Snake who was doing the experiment, and asked angrily.

"If you don't approve of me, why don't you become the Hokage?"

Aunt Snake was not afraid at all, but instead asked with a smile.

Jiraiya suddenly choked up and quickly defended:

"I...I didn't mean that, and I didn't intend to compete for the position of Hokage. I just..."

"Hahaha! Okay, let's have a drink first, don't be so hasty..."

Aunt Snake pushed Jiraiya a glass of wine.

"Where is the time to drink now? Come back to the village with me. The village needs you to take charge of the overall situation now!"

Jiraiya took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. He couldn't help but urged, but he still urged him seriously.

"I told you not to worry, what is the situation in the village now?"

"It's a bit bad. Most of the villagers are very scared. They feel that they have been abandoned by the Fire Nation and have no hope for the future. They all believe that even if they win the Fire Nation coalition, they may not receive mission rewards in the future and it will be difficult to live. …”

"This is normal. Most ninjas have lived a life of taking on missions to survive; it is really disturbing to have them suddenly change."

"Yes! So the atmosphere in the village is very negative now. Kakashi and the others are too young and cannot suppress public opinion or lead people..."

"What about the others? No one steps up to take charge?"

"who?"

"Like those two consultants?"

"Master Xiaochun and Master Yan? They wanted to come forward, but they seemed to be taught back by the old man..."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, I'm surprised too..."

"Then the old man didn't come forward himself?"

"No...he just hides at home every day, sleeping with Danzo's ashes in his arms. He basically doesn't get involved in village affairs..."

"Tsk! It seems that after being educated by Minato-san, the old man has really given up! Hmm... I should also thank Danzo-sama for his contribution?"

"What did you say?"

"Don't worry about it. Is there anyone else making trouble?"

"Yes, but they are all ordinary ninjas with relatively senior qualifications..."

"Aren't those great ninjas involved?"

"Probably not, I'm not very sure."

"Very good, that's enough. I originally thought that more people would rush out to make trouble, but it seems that my reputation is of some use? As for the small number of troublemakers, I guess Kabuto and the others should have recorded them... "

Aunt Snake smiled lightly, she was already under control.

"Wait a minute...are you deliberately not returning to the village in order to lure the opponents out of the village to come out on their own initiative? Isn't this too evil?"

"Don't say it so harshly! Even if they jump out, I won't eat them. I will just invite them to live in the laboratory for a while for the sake of the village's future stability..."

Jiraiya was shocked, and then became even more angry:

"Are you...are you crazy?"

"Even if you want to eliminate dissidents or test the old man, you can't risk the safety of the entire village, right?"

"Do you know how dangerous it is right now?"

"Those big names have united a million-strong army and are preparing to destroy Konoha! Moreover, the Kingdom of Iron has sent tens of thousands of samurai..."

"What on earth are you..."

Aunt Snake suddenly patted Jiraiya and interrupted his questioning.

He turned around and said hello with a smile.

"Come out and let us meet the great writer of Konoha!"

The next moment.

Five daimyo themselves.

He walked out from behind the curtain and stood neatly in front of Jiraiya.

Jiraiya: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ! ! !
