Chapter 585: Ninja world reaction
Chapter 585 The Ninja World’s Reaction
The country of thunder.
Raikage Building, conference room.
The third Raikage, Dama Jin Dao, is sitting at the head of the table, with a rare expression of deep thought on his serious face.
The senior executives of Yunyin sitting on the left and right also looked like they were frowning and thinking.
“Tully, what do you think about the recent defeat of the Grass Country in Iwagakure?” The Third Raikage looked at a Kumogakure ninja wearing glasses.
Tully is the Raikage Assistant of their Hidden Cloud Village, the deputy of the Third Raikage, and one of the people he trusts the most.
“My thoughts…” Tully raised his glasses.
“According to the intelligence we collected, before the defeat, Iwagakure actually had a big victory, and once the troops led by Jiraiya were beaten and fled everywhere.”
"From this piece of information, we can get two pieces of information. Iwagakure is not as weak as it appeared before, and Konoha's actual strength is not as strong as before."
“If Iwagakure is weak, he will definitely not be able to defeat the ninja troops led by Jiraiya in a short time. But if Konoha is strong enough, naturally he will not win a big victory after a heavy defeat.”
The Third Raikage and other senior Kumogakure leaders nodded in agreement.
“Although the two sides had victories and defeats, Iwagakure obviously suffered the greater loss this time. The ninja troops suffered heavy losses and directly withdrew from the Country of Grass.” Tully said with some regret.
The battle between Konoha and Iwagakure ended suddenly.
If Kumogakure can get information in advance, this will be a good opportunity for them to cause trouble. If done properly, Konoha and Iwagakure can suffer heavy losses.
“So you think now is a good opportunity to attack Iwagakure?” The Third Raikage thought for a while and asked.
Yunyin is not picky now. As long as they are at the level of the five great ninja villages, they will take action if they have the chance.
Tully shook his head, "Now is indeed an opportunity to send troops to Iwagakure, but it is also a good opportunity to send troops to Konoha."
The Third Raikage looked at Tully with some doubts. Didn't he say that the losses to Iwagakure Village were greater?
“Although Iwagakure suffered losses, it was not injured. Both jinchūriki safely retreated to the Kingdom of Earth, and Iwagakure Village is deep in the mountains and is easy to defend and difficult to attack.” Tully explained.
Yun Yin wants to hit Yan Yinguang, it is very troublesome, not as simple as an offensive country.
"In this case, it shouldn't be that both have their own advantages and disadvantages. Why is it better to attack Konoha?" Tudai asked.
He did not start from his own ideas, but only thought from Tully's words, and he did not find the so-called good opportunity.
"Because if we don't attack Konoha now, we may not have this opportunity in the future." Tully's expression became serious.
“Konoha first defeated Kirigakure’s attack, and now it has defeated Iwagakure. In the eyes of those clients, Konoha is still the strongest ninja village back then. When the situation stabilizes, Konoha’s trusts will definitely increase significantly.”
“Stronger financial resources allow Konoha to develop more ninjas. Coupled with the talented ninjas who emerged during the Konoha War, if they develop simultaneously, how can Kumogakure be Konoha’s opponent?”
Tudai looked at Tully with surprised eyes. How dare he say it? He said so bluntly that Kumogakure's development potential is not as good as Konoha's.
Although it is a fact, some things cannot be said casually even if they exist.
Tudai glanced at the Third Raikage.
The expression of the Third Raikage did not change much from before.
"The frequent wars now have consumed Konoha's ninja strength, and also caused hatred between Konoha and other ninja villages. As long as we take action, the other ninja villages will most likely follow suit to attack Konoha. They can't ignore it. The threat from Konoha," Tully continued.
This is the real reason why Tully thinks now is a good time to attack Konoha.
Since the beginning of the war, there have been three great ninja villages fighting, but Konoha and Iwagakure have only carried out tentative attacks, and only Sunagakure has really started a fire.
But if Kumogakure wants to attack Konoha, it will be difficult for Sunagakure to interfere, whether it is the country of soup or the country of grass.
As for Konoha, it really hit Kirigakure and Iwagakure a bit hard. Kirigakure not only killed many ninjas but also a jinchuriki, while Iwagakure almost lost a large army of thousands of people.
Tully doesn't believe that Iwagakure and Kirigakure won't be vengeful if Konoha's flaws are revealed.
When the time comes to successfully defeat Konoha, you will gain not only the satisfaction of revenge, but also fame and wealth.
"This is indeed the case in an ideal situation, but Konoha is still strong. If Kumogakure goes all out to fight Konoha, we cannot guarantee that other great ninja villages will not target Kumogakure." Tudai reminded.
Hate is indeed a big driving force, but compared with interests, it is much inferior.
Kumogakure's all-out attack on Konoha is essentially entering the game personally, and he also faces great risks.
"So we can't launch a massive attack on Konoha at the beginning. We should show our momentum first and give people the feeling that we are going to attack Konoha with all our strength, and then observe the reactions of other ninja villages before making plans." Tully explained.
Yunyin is reckless, but he is not brainless.
They still don’t know the details of Iwagakure’s defeat. They only know that the number of enemies killed by Konoha in this battle is exaggerated.
“The Youth Martial Arts Tournament held by the Ninja Sect, Kumogakure didn’t send many ninjas to participate, but both Iwagakure and Kirigakure sent many elites, but the result was..."
Seeing that the senior officials of Kumogakure were still thinking, Tully further promoted his threat theory to Konoha, as if if Konoha was ignored, Konoha would return to its invincible posture in the early days of the village in a few years.
"You guys should also share your thoughts." After Tully finished speaking, the Third Raikage glanced at other senior Kumogakure officials and said.
“I think what Assistant Tully said makes sense. We should attack Konoha. It would be troublesome to attack Iwagakure, but the benefits would not be as great as attacking Konoha.” A dark-skinned strong man crossed his arms and agreed with his face.
"I think something is wrong. You can wait a little longer and continue to observe the situation to see what Kirigakure will do." An elder with a white beard shook his head in denial.
After all the senior Kumogakure officials finished speaking, the Third Raikage found that the ratio was exactly two to two.
Two high-level officials agreed to attack Konoha, while the other two high-level officials did not agree.
Of course, the other two senior officials just think it is not good to fight Konoha now, not that they disagree with the war.
“I think what Tully said makes sense. Please explain your plan in more detail.” The Third Raikage finally said after pondering.
Obviously, he chose to go to war against Konoha.
This plan is indeed risky, but the Third Raikage thinks it is worth a try.
…
On the other side, Kirigakure Village, which is concerned by the top management of Kumogakure, is also holding a high-level meeting.
Since being driven out of the Country of Fire by Konoha last time, Kirigakure has been keeping a close eye on the situation in the ninja world, although he has shrunk his strength.
They are waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to become famous.
Every senior member of Kirigakure was very unwilling to do so. They, Kirigakure, rarely participated in the Ninja World War, but were beaten violently by Konoha Ichitō.
"This Hanyu Mozuki is really not easy. No wonder Yagura lost in the first place. In addition to Orochimaru, Konoha also prepared a trump card hidden in the dark for us." The third Mizukage said with slightly narrowed eyes.
"It's really unexpected." Genshi nodded, understanding that the Third Mizukage had to let Goju Yagura succeed to the throne.
More than a year has passed since the defeat of Goju Yagura, and the Third Mizukage still wants to help Goju Yagura wash him, which is enough to show that the Third Mizukage attaches great importance to him.
Other senior Kirigakure officials agreed.
"Although Iwagakure was defeated this time, Konoha suffered some hardships. I think we can send an assassination team to intensify the conflict between Iwagakure and Konoha. If Iwagakure can start a full-scale war with Konoha, it will be a good idea for us. opportunity to take action." The squad leader of Kirigakure's jounin class expressed his thoughts.
His family knows his own affairs, and Kirigakure will definitely not be able to defeat Konoha on his own.
They have no idea of fighting Konoha head-on, but the idea of stimulating other ninja villages to go to war with Konoha is not only there, but also very big.
“So many people have died in Iwagakure, and they must be very hostile to Konoha now.”
"But now the Iwagakure troops have retreated. At this time, whether they are pretending to be Iwagakure ninjas to kill Konoha ninjas, or pretending to be Konoha ninjas to kill Iwagakure ninjas, it is easy to arouse suspicion." Kirigakure consultant raised the difficulty .
"Then wait, unless Iwagakure and Konoha sign a peace treaty, there will be another war sooner or later." The leader of Kirigakure's Jonin squad replied.
“Actually, it’s not just Iwagakure, we can also start from other ninja villages. Iwagakure is not the only one that is at war with Konoha.”
“The idea of Taketa is very good, we Kirigakure really need to take action.” The Third Mizukage praised Taketa Taketa by name.
Although he may not necessarily adopt Taita Taketo's plan, Kirigakure really can't watch it anymore.
Look further, if Konoha defeats Iwagakure and then defeats Kumogakure, becoming the final winner along the way, then Kirigakure will really have no hope of revenge.
You don’t know if you don’t fight. After fighting, the third generation of Mizukage discovered that their Kirigakure was inferior among the five great ninja villages.
Now that you know you are lagging behind, the next thing to do is to catch up.
Even if you don't make progress, you still have to hold Konoha back and not let Konoha continue to grow stronger.
After the meeting, Master Yuan returned home.
When giving instructions to Terumi Mei and Zabuza, Genshi reminded:
"You must seize the time to practice. It is only a matter of time before we Kirigakure joins the war again. The next war may be even more intense than the last one."
Terumi Mei was stunned for a moment. According to Genshi, the higher-ups had decided to start a war with a certain ninja village, but they had not determined the specific time.
"It's still Konoha, right?" Terumi asked thoughtfully, but in the end she didn't speak.
This is a high-level secret. She, an ordinary Kirigakure jounin, is not qualified to know these things.
But Terumi Mei is very worried, because she feels that if Konoha is used as an opponent, Kirigakure will be really difficult to win.
It's not that Terumi Mei's own ambition was destroyed by the ambition of others, but that she gained a very clear self-understanding through the Chunin Examination and the Martial Arts Tournament.
The top geniuses in their Kirigakure Village are only slightly outstanding talents in Konoha, and they are incomparable to Metkai Hatake Kakashi.
…
The country of wind, Sand Hidden Village.
“Ohnoki, you old guy is still here today.”
Looking at the news about the defeat of Yanyin Village in the intelligence, Luo Sha couldn't help laughing.
The Rock Hidden Village and the Sand Hidden Village are old rivals. There are three small countries bordering the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Wind, directly connected to a long line.
If it weren’t for the special geographical environment on both sides, both sides would really have a headache.
Rasa has not forgotten that Kumogakure launched a massive attack on the Iwagakure ninja troops who were ready to move near Sunagakure Shigure Country.
Had Sunagakure not withstood Kumogakure's offensive, the war between the three major ninja villages would not have happened in the Kingdom of Rain, but in the Kingdom of Wind, in Sunagakure Village.
"Should we take the opportunity to send troops?" Luo Sha looked thoughtful.
If Iwagakure can be given a disastrous defeat, then Sunagakure Village can not only take revenge, but also reestablish its reputation as one of the top five ninja villages.
Luo Sha thought about the situation in Sunayak Village, and finally shook her head.
Even if he wanted to fight, other senior executives of Sunagakure would not agree.
Because the current state of Sunagakure is extremely bad, it is the weakest period since the establishment of Sunagakure.
The disappearance of the Third Kazekage brought more than just the loss of a top powerhouse to Sunagakure.
After the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, Sunagakure fell into serious civil strife.
The powerful ninja clan and the senior officials of Sunagakure used various methods to compete for the position of Kazekage.
At its peak, assassinations were nothing, and the leaders of each faction led large groups of ninjas to fight openly.
In a sense, Luo Sha has to thank Yunyin.
Because without the external pressure given by Kumogakure, Rasha would not have become the Fourth Kazekage so quickly.
Compared to the senior management of Sunagakure and the powerful ninja clan who have been operating in Sunagakure for many years, Rasa's only advantage is his status as a disciple of the Third Kazekage.
He is a disciple who has inherited the Fengying Magnetic Escape from the third generation, and is the most orthodox Fengying successor.
Whether it is Sunagakure's senior officials or the ninja clan, everything they have belongs to Sunagakure. If Sunagakure engulfs them, everything they have will disappear.
Under the pressure of life and death brought by Kumogakure, the ninja clan and the senior officials had to compromise and let the most orthodox Rasa be the Kazekage to unify the power of Sunagakure Village to deal with the crisis.
So Luo Sha is very annoyed by people like Ye Cang who have the potential to become Kazekage.
He was worried that one day, after the war, the compromised senior officials would work together with the ninja clan to oust him and support other ninjas to become Kazekage.
After all, the circumstances of his rise to the top are so special that he is probably unique in the entire ninja world.
"It would be great if Iwagakure could fight Konoha and both sides would suffer." Rasa couldn't help but fantasize.
It is true that Sunagakure is disabled. If other great ninja villages are also disabled, then Sunagakure Village is not disabled.
Luosha longed for a victory, a victory in the war with ninja villages at the same level.
In this way, it will be impossible for other senior officials to oust him from the position of Kazekage.
ˆPS:
Yesterday, a college classmate came to see Xiaoju, so he had a late-night snack with him and didn't fall asleep until around four o'clock.
I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t stayed up late for a while, but I feel inexplicably sleepy when I write today. If you have any questions, you can leave a message at the end of the chapter.
Originally I wanted to take a leave, but after so many days, I still wanted to hold on until the end of the whole month.
