Chapter 392 Different Choices

Even though it seems that Koyakure Village is still located in the one-third of an acre of land that was once owned by Takigakure Village and Kusagakure Village, the leaders of these small country Ninja Villages have sufficient reasons to believe that as long as Koyakure Village is integrated, Having fully adapted to all the problems after the merger of the two villages, Guangyin Village will definitely embark on its own path of expansion.

This has been fully proven in the past few decades. Which of the five major countries in the ninja world today has not come this way? This not only refers to the five ninja villages of Konoha, Kirigakure, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sandgakure, but also refers to the country of fire, the country of wind, the country of water, the country of earth, and the country of thunder. Their The territory has not been possessed since ancient times. It has been expanded step by step. Even if we don't mention what happened hundreds of years ago, in the past hundred years alone, some small countries have been destroyed and then merged into the territory of big countries.

The largest national ninja village is none other than Konoha's largest and staunchest ally - the country of Uzumaki, Uzushio Village. As a country and ninja village established by the Uzumaki clan that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, it is also Wasn't it directly destroyed in a big battle?

It was directly annexed by the Kingdom of Water and Kirigakure Village.

The remaining small country ninja villages that were destroyed are countless.

The current Guangyin Village is the five major countries in the past.

Why don't these small country ninja villages bordering the Mitsugakure village feel trembling with fear? Is the country special? The status of daimyo and nobles is much higher than that of ninjas?

Do not make jokes.

That's just a scene.

How many tens of millions of nobles have been assassinated by ninjas?

How many more countries were destroyed?

The current Daimyos of the Country of Grass and the Country of Taki are all equally wary of their own, the so-called sixth largest country that has just been established.

But they can only be worried and unable to take any meaningful action. After all, this is a world with extraordinary power, and those who can use chakra are the only ones who lead the direction of this world.

Guangyin Village has become an existence that they must look up to.

This is a special celebration.

This also established the status of Guangyin Village as a great power.

Tianying has officially become an existence comparable to the previous five shadows.

from now on.

It is a pattern in which six major kingdoms and six shadows stand side by side.

When the Ninja Village of the small country could only be passively involved in this huge whirlpool, the shadows of the big country also made different decisions after their respective missions returned and carefully listened and understood the information fed back by their subordinates. The same decision comes.

Sand Hidden Village is the most bachelor.

After Maki clearly learned about the current strength of the Kohakure Village, and that Shikaku represented Konoha and the Kohakure Village and clearly had more in-depth negotiations, he very carefully chose to go into hibernation.

Sunagakure Village is no longer the big country that can influence the structure of the shinobi world in the past.

Not only is there a serious lack of high-end power, but the training of middle- and low-level ninjas is also far inferior to that in the past. Not to mention quality issues, even the most basic quantitative growth has fallen into a bottleneck.

The reason.

It’s just that we are too poor.

Although the cultivation of ninja does not require expensive materials, the supply of the most basic materials still needs to be guaranteed. The special mechanism at the beginning of the establishment of the ninja village also determines that the acquisition of funds, equipment, and items must rely on the country behind it.

The Kingdom of Wind is not only a poor country, but also a country that is most afraid of its own ninja village. In addition, Sunagakure Village has repeatedly been the loser in the three ninja wars, which gave the Kingdom of Wind its name, and the nobles cut funds and equipment. , excuse for items.

The reason why the life of Sand Hidden Village is getting worse every year.

This is also one of the most important reasons.

In the past, Sunagakure Village could rely on the magnetic escape of two consecutive Kazekages, the third and fourth generations, to pan for gold from the vast desert to supplement the village's finances, but now the Fifth Kazekage Maki cannot do this. , the personal strength is also not up to the level of the two previous Kazekage, although the Kages of the five great ninja villages basically show a trend of being inferior to each other from generation to generation (if you look at it purely from the perspective of strength).

But Markey is definitely the one with the most serious gap in strength.

Because he can only be regarded as an existence between the elite jounin and the quasi-kage level. In the original book, why did Gaara become the fifth generation Kazekage? As a one-tail jinchuriki, having the strength of the kage level is the most important thing. a little bit.

It's just that in this time and space, Gaara was captured once by the Hidden Leaf Village, and there were some "stains" on his identity.

It’s really hard for Chiyo and Ebizo to directly push Gaara.

Even if you still have to support Gaara.

It will take at least a few more years.

For example, when Gaara fully grew up, he had to make great contributions to the village. It was under such a situation that Maki came to power, and he was truly an excessive "substitute shadow". Maki himself knew this very well.

Based on this point, Ma Ji does not expect that Sunagakure Village can be revived in his own hands, but at the very least he must ensure that there are no problems and that he can steadily restore a little vitality over time, and that is enough.

Don’t seek merit, but seek no faults.

This is Markey's mentality now.

"Is this really okay? Kazekage-sama."

In the Country of Wind, Hidden Sand Village, it is still in the slightly quaint Kazekage exclusive office.

A young man looked at Ma Ji, who was wearing a divine robe on the main seat, with a questioning look, and asked softly, as if it was a little hard to accept.

"That's it. What our Sand Hidden Village needs most now is time. In addition, remember to send a copy of all the information here to Chiyo-sama and Ebizo-sama."

Marky nodded calmly and said.

"Yes, Lord Kazekage."

The young sand ninja bowed in response.

He also immediately dodged and disappeared directly on the spot.

Whoever wants to dominate, let him be.

At least Sunagakure Village will not be able to rise again in their generation. The fourth generation Kazekage-sama of his family finally gave it a try, which is already the biggest lesson.

Ma Ji now only hopes that God can give their Sunagakure Village more time. As long as the next generation grows up, maybe their Sunagakure Village can turn around.

Markey's choice

It represents the obedience of Sunagakure Village.

This kind of retreat is not just a half-step or a short-term matter. It is at least three to five years, or even longer, as the basic unit of calculation.

This is a choice Sunagakure has no choice but to make.

At this point.

Cloud Hidden Village is also in a similar situation, but unlike Sand Hidden Village, which has completely declined, Cloud Hidden Village still has the power to fight under the leadership of the Fourth Raikage. This is not only because of the Fourth Raikage The strength of Kage Ai is stronger than that of ordinary Kage level, and it is also because of the support of Kirabi, an eight-tailed jinchūriki who can be regarded as a super shadow level for the time being.

This is already something beyond the reach of Sand Hidden Village.

Not to mention.

The current basic combat strength of the Kumo Ninja is also much stronger than that of the Suna Ninja.

The Sand Hidden Village represented by Ma Ji needs to take a big step back to save some time for development. The Cloud Hidden Village led by Ai still has the qualifications and ability to compete on the chessboard, but that's all. once.

Once hit hard again.

The fate of Cloud Hidden Village might be even worse than that of Sand Hidden Village.

Yes.

The Fourth Raikage Ai also attaches great importance to Tutai's mission.

While the Konoha Hidden Village delegation represented by Shikaku was still in Kogakure Village, Dodai had already rushed back to Kumogakure Village day and night, and reported everything he saw and heard during this trip to his family. The Fourth Raikage.

In particular, Menma's intention to release the second-tailed Jinchuuriki, Yukito, was highlighted in the next few days.

"What did you say!? Tutai, is this a definite matter!? Are you kidding?"

When the Fourth Raikage Ai heard this sentence, he suddenly stood up from his seat, stared at the platform opposite with his wide eyes, and asked loudly.

"That Uzumaki Menma really agreed to return Yukito to us!?"

It wasn't that Ai thought Tutai would deceive him on such an important matter.

But such an unfolding is really unbelievable. You must know that it is a tailed beast. It can exist at the lowest level with the terror of one against a thousand. Even if it can only initially borrow the chakra of the tailed beast, the strength of the jinchūriki is One of the best at the jounin level, not to mention a jinchūriki who can fully transform into a tailed beast.

The average Kage level can indeed match the jinchūriki from one to seven tails.

But if we want to talk about strategic value.

That's just incomparable.

The fall of Yumu Ren.

It was their biggest loss to Yunyin Village.

The Fourth Raikage Ai was already prepared to never get Yukito back, but now Dodai actually told him.

Will Menma release Yukito?

This is not an ordinary shock, but quite a shock.

The Fourth Raikage felt that his outlook on life was a bit shattered.

On both sides, Mabuyi and Samui, who were the full-time secretaries of the Fourth Raikage, also showed varying degrees of shock.

"Yes, Lord Raikage, this is what Menma Uzumaki has admitted to me personally. Yukito can be brought back before the end of this month at the latest. Although it is not 100% certain yet, in my opinion, Uzumaki Menma will not play tricks on us in this kind of thing, so based on the previous series of information, this should be Menma Uzumaki wooing us to deal with the possible arrival of Konoha and Iwagakure. Village Alliance!”

In the bottom position.

Tutai analyzed with a solemn expression.

"Konoha and Iwagakure? Are they really united? If so, it can indeed be explained."

When the Fourth Raikage heard Todai's words, his eyes flashed, and he nodded subconsciously and said.

Contact between Konoha and Iwagakure.

In fact, this cannot be regarded as an extremely secretive matter.

The specific content, or process, is of course something that the outside world cannot learn in a short period of time, but it is still possible for a great ninja village of the size of Yunyin Village to catch a little bit of clues.

As long as there is a little hint or sign.

People like Tutai who can be called resourceful people have a high probability of being able to analyze it.

"If it really unfolds like this, God will help us in Yunyin Village. We can sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers!"

A sharp evil aura suddenly appeared between the eyebrows of the Fourth Raikage Ai, and he said with a hint of ferociousness.

This time the war.

It really brought an unforgettable memory to this fourth generation Raikage. The defeat in the Third Ninja World War was so miserable for their Kumogakure Village. Although the death of the Third Raikage was from Kumogakure Village. maximum loss.

But judging from various data.

This 'pseudo' Fourth Ninja War is the most tragic of all the previous wars in Kumogakure Village.

The number of ninjas who died and the controllable land area lost.

There was also the serious injury of the Fourth Raikage himself.

And the loss of the two-tailed jinchūriki.

All of these are describing the sad situation of their Yunyin Village.

Why would the proud Fourth Raikage choose to send Todai to negotiate with Menma and attend his installation ceremony, an option that was almost a shame in the past! ?

It’s not just because the current situation is pressing.

The Fourth Raikage had to bow his head.

Even if they were defeated at the hands of Menma in the front, Iwagakure Village took advantage of the situation and almost made Kumogakure Village unable to withstand it.

If it weren't for Onoki, that old guy didn't go all out.

Otherwise, the Fourth Raikage will really doubt whether their Cloud Hidden Village can maintain the current front pattern.

For this reason, he bowed his head for the very rare time.

He just wanted to buy his own Ninja Village the necessary time to recuperate, and also to see if he could further encourage other Ninja Villages to start another war.

Now it seems that everything is developing as I expected.

if you can.

The Fourth Raikage Ai is eager to see the Kogakure Village directly start a war with Konoha and Iwagakure right now.

"With all due respect, Raikage-sama, if Uzumaki Menma is really willing to return the wooden figure to us, we in Kumogakure Village still need to stand on the side of Kogakure Village. It does not mean that we need our full assistance, at least we must be there. To hold the attention of half of the family at the critical moment, the current structure of the ninja world is very clear. Guangyin Village is the most powerful family on the surface, but considering the background of the ninja village and other conditions, Iwa The Hidden Village or Konoha will not really lose too much to the Hidden Village. Once we really wait and see too much, when the Hidden Village is defeated, it may be the kind of catastrophe. Compared to that If we want to do anything by then, it may be too late.”

Tudai shook his head solemnly, looked directly at the Fourth Raikage on the throne and said this.

It’s not that Tutai has low vision.

It’s not that Todai is still looking down on Menma and Mitsuyakumura.

But this is the strong inertia of the ninja world for decades.

In addition, Menma himself was still somewhat disguised, especially this time with his unexpected choice.

It is really easy for the soil platform to have partial bias in judgment.

The Fourth Raikage also frowned. From his own heart, he was really unwilling to do this, including his previous submission to the Hidden Light Village. This was contrary to the character of the Raikage of all generations, but he Still did it.

Because everything is still based on the interests of the village and the safety of the village.

He is the Raikage, so he must not mess around!
