Chapter 623 The Worsening Situation

Swoosh!

Just as the patrolling Konoha ninja took out the flare, a blue electric light struck.

Bang!

The intense pain made the patrolling ninja's pupils dilate, and then he flew backwards like a cannonball.

"Quick battle and quick decision!" The fourth generation Ai ordered the Kumogakure jonins who were rushing behind him.

Although Konoha did not deploy ninja troops nearby due to the limited number of ninjas, there were still some ninjas guarding the border.

The first thing the fourth generation Ai and his men had to do was to eliminate Konoha's border defense forces in the north of the Land of Fire, so that Konoha would lose its vision of the north of the Land of Fire to a certain extent.

Kumogakure never thought of defeating Konoha with a 1,200-man ninja force. They were just the vanguard, responsible for opening the situation.

Swoosh! !

The Kumogakure jonins took the lead and swept around at a high speed, eliminating all the Konoha ninjas in their sight.

There were fewer ninjas patrolling at night than during the day. With the clearance of the Kumogakure army, there was no time to pass the news back to Konoha. At most, they could only remind the nearby teams, but it was useless.

However, in this sensitive war period, no news is actually a news, just because it is discovered a little later.

Several border patrol teams suddenly lost contact, which attracted Konoha's great attention and quickly asked the elite teams of the nearby ninja troops to investigate.

"How did Orochimaru command! Even when the Iwagakure troops were about to attack the northwest defense line, he did not draw ninjas from his ninja troops, but they were quietly attacked by Kumogakure!"

Looking at the bad information from the front line, the more stable Mitomon Yan couldn't help but speak more fiercely.

Shimura Danzo had just died, and Konoha was attacked by Kumogakure and entered the mainland, which would undoubtedly make other major ninja villages covet Konoha.

"The demise of the Root has reduced our intelligence capabilities. If Danzo had not died in the Land of Rain with the Root, perhaps Orochimaru would have noticed the actions of Kumogakure." Utatane Koharu is still upset about Shimura Danzo's private actions.

Just let him die, and bring so much trouble to Konoha.

"The most important thing now is not to find out who is responsible, but to solve the problem." Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked on the table and emphasized.

"There is an unknown number of enemy ninja troops in the country. This is not only a threat to the Land of Fire, but also a huge threat to Konoha."

There is no rule in the war of ninjas that the disaster will not affect the homeland. If there is a chance, Kumogakure will definitely be happy to cover the entire Konoha in the flames of war.

"Why not let Jiraiya take the troops back to the country and go to the north, and then let Orochimaru mobilize the troops to cooperate with Jiraiya, so that the northern Kumogakure can be wiped out." Utatane Koharu said.

Jiraiya's ninja army is in the Land of Grass, northwest of the Land of Fire, while Orochimaru's ninja army is in the Land of Hot Water, northeast of the Land of Fire.

The two ninja armies set out from their respective directions. Even if Kumogakure has a ninja army of 2,000 people, it may not be able to withstand it.

"Jiraiya can't move." Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately rejected it.

"In recent years, Iwagakure has had many grievances with us. If Jiraiya's troops withdraw, Iwagakure is very likely to gather ninja troops again for a surprise attack." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said.

Although Iwagakure has always been in a losing state in the war between Iwagakure and Konoha, it is not enough to hurt the five major ninja villages, and Iwagakure still poses a huge threat to Konoha.

"Let Minato or Muyue go, and then draw some ninjas from various troops and Konoha to assist." Mitomon Yan said after thinking for a while.

There are many ninjas in Konoha who are qualified to lead the ninja army. Many senior jonins are qualified. However, if a prerequisite is added, that they must be able to destroy or repel the enemy ninja army, then the range of options will be narrowed.

Basically, only the strongest people of a certain era are qualified.

"This problem must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the daimyo."

Although the daimyo only leads Konoha in name, Konoha is the official military force of the Fire Country and has the responsibility to defend the Fire Country. The Fire Country is invaded by foreign enemies, which is Konoha's fault.

"Then it's Minato." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

If it comes to killing enemies on the battlefield, Minato and Mu Yue can both do it, but if Minato comes to develop the training team, he will definitely not be able to beat Mu Yue.

So when Minato can spare time, Sarutobi Hiruzen does not want to send Mu Yue.

...

Due to the death of Shimura Danzo, all the major ninja villages are sending spies to the Fire Country and are very concerned about the situation in the Fire Country.

So the information that the Kumogakure ninja army broke through the defense line of the Fire Country soon arrived on the office desks of the leaders of the major ninja villages.

Kirigakure Village, Mizukage's office.

The Third Mizukage put down the information, his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile from the heart.

"Sure enough, someone who can't stand the loneliness will take action first."

The Third Mizukage wanted to defeat Konoha and regain the face he lost before, and at the same time let Konoha return the ninja swords of Kirigakure.

However, he didn't want to be the first to come out, and he was waiting for a leader.

"Let Yagura come over." The Third Mizukage called the Anbu and ordered.

Although Yagura Kujitsu was defeated quite tragically last time, the Third Mizukage believed that the main reason was not Yagura Kujitsu himself, but the opponent's strength was beyond expectations.

When Mu Yue didn't go to the Kirigakure battlefield, let alone Kirigakure, even Konoha didn't expect Mu Yue to have such strength.

"Sister Sandaime!" Yagura greeted the Third Mizukage with respect after arriving at the Mizukage's office.

The Third Mizukage had always trained him as the Fourth Mizukage, and Yagura had always kept it in mind. They had a good relationship.

"This time, you are still in charge of the troops. Go hard and get back everything we lost in Kirigakure twice as much." The Third Mizukage said with a smile.

Yagura looked at the Third Mizukage with gratitude.

Because he was protected by the Third Mizukage, he did not suffer too much criticism for the last defeat, but Yagura still felt tormented by it.

Because he was a ninja with his own pride, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart after suffering such a tragic defeat.

"I will definitely not let you and the village down. This time, I will definitely destroy the Konoha ninja troops!" Yagura said with a serious face.

Since that defeat, Yagura has learned from his mistakes and not only learned more military tactics, but also strengthened his own training.

This change is not enough to be considered a transformation, but compared to before, it is definitely an improvement.

Faced with the same situation, he is confident that he can do better than before.

"It's good that you have this confidence." The third generation Mizukage said with a smile.

Confidence is a very important thing. If you don't even believe that you can do it, how can you let others believe that you can do it.

"Don't worry when you arrive at the Land of Waves, wait for my order."

At present, the Cloud Hidden Village has only entered the Land of Fire, and has not yet had a fierce collision with the ninja troops of Konoha, so the third generation Mizukage is not in a hurry to let Yagura launch an attack.

The situation in the ninja world is chaotic now. If there is a chance, they can even not attack the Land of Fire, and change to another big country.

Revenge is important, but we must not forget the original intention of participating in the war. The Hidden Mist Village participated in the Ninja World War to share the interests of the continent, not other things.

...

The Hidden Sand Village, the office of the Wind Shadow.

"There has been no major war with the ninja troops of Konoha." Luo Sha put down the information in his hand with regret.

He just wants to see Konoha and Cloud Hidden Village fighting and bleeding, no matter whose blood is flowing.

Kumogakure took advantage of the internal strife in Sand Village and attacked Sand Village with heavy punches.

Even Sand Village, which is one of the five major ninja villages, became weak after experiencing the internal strife and the continuous attack of Kumogakure invasion.

Therefore, Luo Sha was eager to see Kumogakure in trouble.

As for Konoha, the reason is even simpler. The Wind Country and the Fire Country are separated by the River Country, and the distance is too close.

Luo Sha does not want a neighbor stronger than Sand Village. If he has a choice, he wants a neighbor who needs the help of Sand Village and is half dead.

A neighbor who can bring help to Sand Village is a good neighbor.

…

Compared with the restless Mist Village and the indifferent Sand Village, Iwagakure has a different choice in the face of the current situation in the ninja world.

The Rain Country, Six Paths Castle.

"I am afraid that there is no ninja in the ninja world today who does not know Sosuke." Huang Tu looked at this increasingly prosperous town and couldn't help but sighed.

When he first came to Rokudo Castle, it was not even as good as some remote villages, but now it has become a town that looks more prosperous.

And Sosuke's growth is even more exaggerated than Rokudo Castle. When he first knew Sosuke, Sosuke was just a little-known ninja in the Land of Rain.

Now, Sosuke has become famous in the ninja world and has become a legendary ninja who surpasses the demigods and the half-zo.

"It's worthy of him." When he thought of Sosuke's personality and ability, Huang Tu felt that all this was normal.

Then Huang Tu retracted his gaze and went straight to the Shinobi Sect's base.

Huang Tu often served as the representative of Iwagakure to connect with the Shinobi Sect. Most of the Shinobi Sect ninjas were familiar with Huang Tu, and soon met Sosuke in the reception room of the Shinobi Sect.

"We, Iwagakure, are deeply sorry for your experience. I didn't expect that Konoha would still be so greedy and covet the Land of Rain." Huang Tu said the words he had memorized in advance.

It was really difficult for him to come up with these words by himself.

Seeing Huang Tu saying he was sorry with a resolute expression, Mu Yue felt that Huang Tu must not have done well in the disguise class when he was in the ninja school.

"It may not be that Konoha covets the Land of Rain, maybe it's just that Shimura Danzo himself is prejudiced against me." Mu Yue replied with a smile.

He could guess the purpose of the Hidden Rock Village with just a thought.

Who else could Sosuke come to kill Shimura Danzo at this time? He just wanted to make the Shinobi Sect a pawn of the Hidden Rock Village against Konoha.

"Is there any inside story?" The Iwagakure senior ninja who came with Huang Tu asked hurriedly.

Regarding the cause of Shimura Danzo's death, the most widely circulated in the ninja world is that Konoha wanted to snatch Sosuke's Shinobi Sect inheritance, so it sent Shimura Danzo to assassinate Sosuke.

However, the ninjas of the big ninja villages don't believe it. The five big ninja villages have a deep foundation and have countless secret ninjutsu. It's too cheap to take action for a Shinobi Sect inheritance with unknown content.

It is a little more credible to say that Konoha suppressed the Rain Country, after all, the Rain Country is indeed getting better and better.

"It's just a personal guess. After all, the incident happened suddenly, and I haven't investigated it clearly yet." Mu Yue shook his head and replied.

He did know the inside story, but he couldn't tell it to others.

The Iwagakure jonin thought that Sosuke was hiding something, but he didn't ask too much, so he kept his mouth shut.

They may be able to control the Ninja Clan through various means, but they have no good way to deal with Sosuke.

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

If Sosuke is forced to disband the Ninja Clan and then go to the Land of Earth to cause trouble, Iwagakure will have a headache for a while.

"The cooperation with the Ninja Clan has brought Iwagakure a lot of benefits, so we want to have a deeper cooperation with the Ninja Clan."

Although Huang Tu is not good at social skills, he can see that Sosuke does not want to talk more about Shimura Danzo, so he uses another set of words.

"What kind of deep cooperation?" Mu Yue said with an interested look.

Even if you already know the content of the next conversation, you still have to pretend.

After all, Iwagakure has also made a lot of efforts in the construction of the Six Paths City and contributed a lot of commissions to the Ninja Clan, so give them some face.

"Expand the scale of ninja training and cooperate to establish a ninja school. Iwagakure can also hand over part of the commission to the Ninja Clan to complete." Huang Tu said the conditions that Iwagakure can offer.

The Ninja Clan only has so many ninjas, and it is easy to detect if they want to make any big moves. Recently, the Land of Rain Iwagakure discovered that the Ninja Clan was going to establish a ninja school.

"It should be more than that." Mu Yue said with a smile.

Establishing a ninja school was indeed a great pressure for the previous Ninja Sect, but it was only limited to before Mu Yue took over the Rain Village.

After taking over the Rain Village, Mu Yue could completely let some of the Rain Ninjas come to receive training and then serve as teachers.

Huang Tu nodded and continued: "In order to protect the requirements of the partners, Iwagakure will send ninjas to protect the Ninja Sect and ensure the safety of the cooperation."

"Sosuke, what do you think of this deep cooperation?" Huang Tu looked at Sosuke and asked.

Huang Tu felt that the conditions given by his old father were already quite good, almost treating the Ninja Sect as a small Iwagakure Village.

"Iwagakure's conditions are very good." Mu Yue said with a smile.

"Then..." Huang Tu smiled and felt that Sosuke would agree.

Before Huang Tu finished speaking, Mu Yue interrupted: "But, I refuse."

If they really want to have this so-called deep cooperation with Iwagakure, then Iwagakure Village can legally and reasonably deploy ninja troops in the Ninja Sect.

Not to mention that Mu Yue would not agree, even if Hanzo came, Hanzo would never agree to this so-called cooperation.

The smile on Huang Tu's face froze. He didn't expect Sosuke to suddenly change his expression.

PS: I may be in a bad mood recently because of lack of sleep.

I wanted to write more today during the holiday, but I have barely written 4,000 words so far.

I hope I can fall asleep before 1 o'clock today and adjust my schedule.
