Chapter 358 ‘Reasonable’ Choice

PS: Today is another busy day of decoration, so I only wrote this much, so I’ll upload it first, and I’ll see if I can write more later. .

Take action first! ?

At the moment when I heard the words of Shang Shuiyanjue.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes slightly, and the pupils of Jiraiya and Shikaku on both sides also showed a different color.

This is absolute sincerity.

You must know the previous encirclement.

Konoha Hidden Village is always the first initiator, the first attacker.

The innocence of Yunyin Village is an unexpected factor.

It was the Fourth Raikage who wanted to take advantage of himself. The most important thing was that his self-confidence was extremely high. It couldn't be counted. But it was different now. In two or three consecutive battles, Menma had already used his own Performance speaks for itself.

If the alliance of Taki and Kusanagi Village, led by Ma, now takes action, the one who attacks first will inevitably suffer the most violent counter-pressure. How dare the Third Tsuchikage make such a promise? That is indeed true. A very sincere performance.

"Is this really what Your Majesty the Tsuchikage said?"

Tsunade leaned forward subconsciously, looked at Iwajutsu with a hint of suspicion and said, although Tsunade has not seen the old guy from Iwagakure Village a few times, she has no idea about this Tsuchikage-sama. It can be described as unfamiliar.

That is a pure old fox.

He is an existence that is even more difficult to deal with than the old man in his family.

Under normal circumstances, only Iwagakure Village will always take advantage, and it is almost impossible to suffer a loss. Judging from the current situation in the ninja world, Tsunade does not think that the Third Tsuchikage must do such a thing. A very courageous decision.

"Haha, Hokage-sama is joking. How dare you pass on our Tsuchikage-sama's orders indiscriminately? Please rest assured that everything I say is based on our Tsuchikage-sama's orders."

Yan Jue smiled softly, and then replied in a deep voice.

This is another very affirmative tone.

Tsunade's eyes narrowed slightly at this moment.

Is she really willing to believe that the Third Tsuchikage would make such a decision? What's the reason?

Is it really just because of the power of Menma's side? Or are you simply greedy for those tailed beasts?

From the perspective of ordinary people, this is indeed a very sufficient reason, but from Tsunade's perspective, the Third Tsuchikage does not seem to be this type of person.

The look that subconsciously looked at Jiraiya aside.

Jiraiya seemed to have a calm expression on the surface, but in fact, there was a strange color in his pupils. Tsunade, who had been a close friend for many years, was also startled when she saw it.

The next second.

After taking a deep breath, Tsunade crossed her hands on the table and said with a calm look: "I understand what Takamura means. This matter is serious and I still need to think about it for a day or two. Iwajue-san If you don’t mind, how about you stay in our Hidden Leaf Village for two or three days?”

"Of course this is the right thing to do. So, today, I will be rude, Hokage-sama."

Yan Jue still had a smile on his face. After bowing slightly and saluting, he turned around and strode away.

After Yu Yanjue's figure completely left.

"Jiraiya, Shikaku, what do you think? Is that old guy really going to take action against Uzumaki Menma? Or is he simply deceiving us?"

Tsunade's expression also darkened and she asked solemnly.

"It's hard to say. Judging from that Tsuchikage's previous behavior style, there are two possibilities. Even if it seems sincere now, nothing can be said for sure until later."

After Jiraiya frowned and thought for a while, he finally slowly shook his head and said.

Onoki, who is known as Tianteng Tsubara, is considered a "legendary figure" in the ninja world. Not to mention his mastery of dust escape, this person's methods are the most terrifying. In terms of leadership ability, , Ōnoki was the best among the three generations of Kage. Sarutobi Hiruzen was indeed ahead in the first half of his life, but later on he was 'self-willed'.

Third Generation Lei was not very good at this aspect to begin with.

Not to mention the remaining three generations of wind and water.

Only Ohnoki, purely from the perspective of Iwagakure Village, has indeed been wise all his life, and this old guy is still the kind of person who becomes more and more evil as he gets older, and he can always look at any problem with the most rational perspective. .

This is also the biggest reason why Iwagakure Village has always remained relatively strong.

Both Jiraiya and Tsunade were very familiar with this Third Tsuchikage, so they would naturally make corresponding judgments.

"I don't have the same opinion as Jiraiya-sama. Lord Godai, I think Iwagakure Village should really take action against Uzumaki Menma this time, or to be more precise, the Takigusa Ninja Village. This is Based on a basic strategic security judgment of their Iwagakure Village.”

Shikaku, who was on one side, shook his head slightly after Jiraiya finished speaking, and looked at Jiraiya and Tsunade with a very serious expression.

"Huh? Why do you say that, Shikaku? What's your reason?"

Tsunade and Jiraiya were startled one after another. The former also looked directly at Shikaku and asked in a deep voice.

"Because the Taki and Kusanagi Village Alliance are too close to Iwagakure Village, and there is no separation area. Although our five major ninja villages have been attacking each other in the past, thanks to some natural barriers, There are also restrictions on distance. The outbreak of war is not that easy. Countries often try to exercise restraint as much as possible. But now, Lord Godai, Lord Jiraiya, please look at the map. Takigakure Village, Kusanagi Hidden Village has actually semi-surrounded Iwagakure Village, and the Third Tsuchikage made such a judgment precisely after seeing such a threat. "

Shikaku pulled up a huge map hanging on a white board from one side, pointing at the Takigakure and Kusagakure villages that were clearly marked in red.

It can be clearly seen from this map.

The entire southeastern area of ​​the Earth Kingdom has fallen into a pincer attack between the Grass Kingdom and the Taki Kingdom.

The most important thing is that the location of Iwagakure Village is relatively far forward.

Regardless of any other factors, just looking at the threat, Menma could indeed use the military power of the two ninja villages to launch the most powerful attack on Iwagakure in the shortest time if he had the will.

Jiraiya and Tsunade, who had not thought of this before, reacted immediately when they saw what Shikaku pointed out.

Such a strategic threat.

It's not a question of whether or not it will happen.

It’s a question of whether it can.

"Looking at it this way, it does make sense..."

Jiraiya looked thoughtful and murmured to himself.
