Chapter 226 Kirigakure asks for help
After Kirigakure’s internal problems are resolved.
Terumi Mei could finally concentrate on dealing with this war.
First of all, the first thing she did was to ask the major forces to release previously imprisoned Kirigakure criminals.
As long as they are not guilty of heinous crimes, let them all be released.
Let them enter the battlefield with sin-bearing bodies. As long as they kill enough enemies, any sin can be forgiven.
On the other hand, those who are still taking advantage of the situation in the Kingdom of Water at this time will be dealt with severely if caught.
Quickly eliminate the security problems in the Kingdom of Water.
At least we cannot let people's livelihood deteriorate again.
And Terumi Mei began to ask for help from the outside world.
The main targets for help are Konoha and Iwagakure, the two major forces.
Among them, the most ideal person to ask for help is Iwagakure.
After all, Iwagakure and Kumogakure have the deepest hatred, and it is unlikely that they will cooperate with Kumogakure to attack Kirigakure. There is no need to worry about attracting wolves into the house.
But the road to Iwagakure is long, and if you don't cross the Land of Fire, the detour will take a long time.
If you want to cross the Land of Fire, you must first get Konoha's consent.
So Terumi Mei asked someone to go to Konoha first to see what Konoha meant.
After all, Kirigakure of the previous generation had offended Konoha so much that his Byakugan even had a blue eye.
It is still unclear what Konoha's attitude is now.
However, Terumi Mei remembered Natsuki's almost explicit letter from before,
While sending people to Konoha to ask for help, he also asked Ao to quietly visit Uchiha.
Terumi Mei first sent a request for help message to Iwagakure through official channels.
Personnel were also sent to Konoha, the Country of Fire.
As for why Sunagakure didn't ask for help, firstly, it was because Sunagakure also needed to pass through Konoha.
Second, Sunagakure's desire for land is very strong. When Sunagakure intervenes in the battlefield, it is not certain who he will help.
…
Although Iwagakure is the farthest from Kirigakure, they are the most concerned about this battle.
Information on the battlefield is transmitted by the fastest and most powerful force besides the two warring parties.
Although Kirigakure's weakness surprised Onoki,
However, Terumi Mei's request for help was unexpected by Ohnoki.
Ohnoki's character is very mature and prudent. During this period of time, Kirigakure's Twin Islands will become a battlefield meat grinder.
It is not cost-effective to intervene in the war now.
So after Iwagakure received the news from Kirigakure, he didn't say to go or not to go, but started to wait and see.
On Konoha's side, Kirigakure's people arrived quickly.
But the people who came to see the Third Hokage were actually just a Jonin and a half-grown child.
Chojuro.
However, the Third Hokage didn't care. Instead, it could be seen from Kirigakure's behavior that Kirigakure had no one left.
If Kirigakure could mobilize people, he would not let such a young child come over.
It seems that the older Kirigakure are now on the battlefield.
Now Chojuro just has the title of a child prodigy and serves as Mei Terumi's bodyguard.
In terms of strength and experience, he is not very good, so sending him out to ask for help is a last resort. After all, Kirigakure has no suitable people now.
"Hokage-sama, we Kirigakure need your assistance from Konoha."
Chojuro's character is inherently shy and submissive.
This time, he was almost asked to complete such a task, which made him feel uneasy.
What he said was basically rote.
Fortunately, there was no stumbling when speaking.
The Third Hokage was very kind: "It's hard for you to come all the way. Please tell me the specific situation first..."
Next, Chojuro told the Third Hokage everything about the battle situation on the front line.
Sandai was surprised when he heard Chojuro say that Kumogakure relied on the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails to force the landing.
Kumogakure was really brave, and he wasn't afraid of the two jinchūriki being ambushed.
But it was this boldness that allowed Yunyin to gain a foothold so quickly.
While they were talking, there was a knock on the door outside.
When the Third Hokage didn't respond, Orochimaru walked in.
He didn't take Orochimaru's rudeness seriously, but showed him what was wrong with his eyes.
Orochimaru walked towards the Third Hokage: "Old man, I need two kinds of equipment for my laboratory."
From an angle that few people could see, he looked at the Third Hokage, and then shook his head imperceptibly.
The Third Hokage closed his eyes, indicating that he understood.
…
In addition to asking for help from the Leaf Village, Kirigakure is another person.
However, he came to the Uchiha clan in hiding and asked to see Natsuki.
Uchiha clan land.
Reception room.
This person who came to Uchiha secretly was taken to the reception room and then opened his robe.
"I didn't expect Mei Terumi to send you here."
Xia Mu looked at the person opposite with one eye with some amusement.
It's Qing.
Aoya is considered an old rival of Uchiha.
Of course, it would be enough to be beaten unilaterally by Shisui.
"Natsuki-sama, Mizukage-sama knows that Konoha will probably not send troops to assist us Kirigakure, so he specially asked me to come to see you."
Qing's attitude was very low, after all, now she had someone to ask for.
Kirigakure knew the current situation of Konoha and Uchiha.
Rather than expecting Konoha to send troops for assistance, it would be better to come to Natsuki.
After all, Natsuki had dealt with Mei Terumi before.
He also wrote to her, almost explicitly saying that Uchiha accepted the employment.
Natsuki smiled slightly: "Now the two-tailed Yuki and the eight-tailed Kirabi have arrived on the battlefield."
"According to their current offensive, if they form a bridgehead in the Kingdom of Water, it will only be a matter of time before you Kirigakure is destroyed."
Ao calmly said: "We, the Fourth and Fifth Mizukage, are not vegetarians either."
"And we still have Six-Tail Yugao. Although the battle situation is now at a disadvantage, we were just caught off guard."
"Mizukage-sama came to ask for help because he didn't want Kirigakure to suffer too much if the war expanded."
Seeing that the green duck had a tough mouth, Xia Mu chuckled: "Heh..."
Natsuki tapped his fingers on the table and said unhurriedly.
"I know the situation on your Kirigakure side very well. Yu Gao has defected, the Fourth Mizukage is dead, and the three-tailed Isofu is dead.
"As for Terumi Mei, I think she is not a match for the Fourth Raikage now."
"Even if the Fourth Raikage doesn't take action, you can't stop the two jinchūriki at all."
"You don't need to test it. Last time I came to the Kingdom of Water, I know your national conditions very well."
"I believe that in just a few years, Terumi Mei cannot be completely managed."
Qing Tong's eyes narrowed heavily, and the hand under the table immediately tightened. Xia Mu had completely blocked all his words.
Sure enough, Uchiha did know the information that the fourth Mizukage was dead.
Terumi Mei told him before he left, and Natsuki probably knew the news.
He even knew about Yu Gao's defection.
Qing did not deny it at this time. Denial at this time had no meaning.
"Natsuki-sama, what price will it cost for you to send troops to rescue Kirigakure?"
Qing has no choice. People are like knives and I am fish and meat. You can only let Uchiha make conditions.
Uchiha is now a major force in the Fire Country. If Uchiha doesn't nod, even Iwagakure can't pass through the Fire Country.
Kirigakure could not avoid Uchiha no matter what.
