Chapter 175 White Night's Prophecy
Although he was very suspicious of Bai Ye's motives, Yahiko took the initiative to ask: "Bai Ye, when is the right time? Can we prompt Konoha and Kumogakure to negotiate as soon as possible?"
Bai Ye shook his head slightly and said earnestly: "Yahiko, I know you are anxious, but please don't be so anxious first, let me explain the cause and effect relationship."
Yahiko nodded slightly, and Konan and Nagato also looked eager to learn.
After thinking about it, Bai Ye asked Yahiko: "Why do you think the Hidden Cloud Village launched an attack on the Konoha Village this time?"
"It is to seize the land of the Land of Hot Springs and the Land of Fire, and to seize the title of the first ninja village."
Bai Ye nodded, and then asked: "Then why did the Hidden Cloud Village dare to attack the Konoha Village? Aren't the Kumo Ninja afraid of Konoha's counterattack?"
Yahiko thought for a while, and then said: "It is because Senior Brother Minato died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion. If Senior Brother Minato and Kushina were still alive, the Hidden Cloud Village would never dare to launch an attack."
"Then why did Konoha encounter sieges from other ninja villages in every ninja world war?"
Hearing this, Yahiko fell into deep thought. He vaguely knew what Bai Ye was going to say, but he could never figure it out.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ye said with some emotion:
"The reason why Konoha or the Land of Fire was besieged in the previous Ninja World Wars is very simple, because their land is too rich. The Land of Fire occupies almost 60% of the elite land in the Ninja World, and its wealth exceeds that of other major countries."
"This piece of land with excellent conditions was conquered for them by the first generation of Hokage and the Shura of the Ninja World. With the strength of the first generation of Hokage, they can naturally suppress all the ambitious people. At the same time, Konoha relies on the superior conditions of the Land of Fire to continue to harvest the resources of the surrounding major countries and become more powerful."
"However, all this is based on the survival of the first generation of Hokage. ”
“Once the first Hokage died, a war for the land of the Land of Fire would break out. With victory after victory, Konoha barely managed to keep the land of the Land of Fire and barely maintained the balance.”
“But the Nine-Tails Rebellion destroyed the original balance, causing the Hidden Cloud Village, which had preserved a lot of strength in the last Ninja World War, to challenge Konoha again.”
“However, although the Hidden Cloud Village has the strength to challenge Konoha, I don’t think it can succeed.”
“Why?” Xiaonan asked curiously. She has always been very concerned about money, but she doesn’t know much about the strength and history of the major ninja villages.
Bai Ye smiled and said:
"Although Kumogakure has top-level strongmen such as the Fourth Raikage, the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, the quality and quantity of the Jounin cannot compare to Konohagakure."
"Once it enters the consumption phase, no ninja village can outlast Konohagakure."
"Unless they start a civil war first."
But Konohagakure had the Nine-Tails Rebellion... Xiaonan complained in her heart, but Bai Ye was off topic, they were discussing how to promote peace between Kumogakure and Konohagakure.
Bai Ye noticed the expressions of several people and continued, "Back to the topic, the reason why Kumogakure launched the invasion this time is because they have the strength to attack Konoha and want to compete for the title of the first ninja village." "In my opinion, there are only three possibilities for us to stop this war. The first is to assist Kumogakure Village to completely defeat the Land of Fire and annex the Land of Hot Water and part of the territory of the Land of Fire..." Hearing this, Yahiko shook his head: "We can't assist Kumogakure Village." Bai Ye then raised his second finger: "The second option is for us to join Konoha as mercenaries. With the strength we have accumulated over the years, we are enough to assist Konoha in defeating Kumogakure Village." Nagato and Konan looked at each other, and the second option sounded good. If they assist Konoha in the form of mercenaries, they can not only help Konoha resist the invasion of Kumogakure, but also obtain a considerable amount of funds to support the development of the Land of Rain. However, they still want to hear the third option, so they all looked at Bai Ye. Bai Ye showed a sly smile, stretched out the third finger, and said meaningfully: "The third option is that we go to war with Konoha and Kumogakure at the same time!"
"As long as Konoha and Kumogakure have a common enemy and beat them to the point of national destruction, they will understand each other and move towards peace."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the office suddenly became subtle.
Bai Ye's last method is a good one, but it is a little difficult to implement. The Hidden Rain Village now has no ability to deal with Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village at the same time.
If they really have this ability, they would have come forward to stop the war long ago.
Seeing that everyone fell into silence, Bai Ye smiled and said: "It's just a joke. My real idea is to wait until Konoha and Kumogakure are almost exhausted before intervening in the war..."
"And I don't know the specific time point, so let's wait until Jiraiya takes the initiative to ask for help."
Hearing this, Yahiko and others sighed softly. Bai Ye's method can indeed maximize the interests of the Hidden Rain Village, and they are no longer the passionate teenagers they used to be.
As passionate young people, while having dreams, they must also consider reality.
However, if Jiraiya-sensei spoke in a humble manner, wouldn't that be too cruel to the teacher, who had taught them for three years and was like a teacher and a father.
At this time, Yahiko's face suddenly changed and he looked towards the door.
I saw a cloud of smoke appear out of thin air at the door of the office, and then a toad fell out.
This toad looked very young, with a tadpole-like tail still behind him. After seeing Yahiko, he opened his mouth and spit out a scroll, and then he lifted the summoning technique by himself.
Seeing everything in front of them, the ninjas present did not stop the toad from leaving.
They all knew that the toad was Jiraiya's summoning beast, and it came from the three holy places of Myoboku Mountain. The letter sent this time must be related to Jiraiya.
Bai Ye looked at the toad a few more times and secretly remembered the chakra breath of the toad.
At the same time, he was secretly curious whether the things he did secretly were remembered by Toadmaru. After all, Toadmaru was a great immortal who had part of the script in the original time and space.
However, Toadmaru's prophecy has always been vague, with only a few ambiguous keywords.
What ninja with sky blue eyes is the son of prophecy, pointing the spearhead at the Samsara Eye Nagato for a while, and then pointing at Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Naruto.
I can also say a few words of this kind of charlatan's rhetoric.
The boy with the blood of God will eventually save the world. The child of prophecy who saves the world is not a summoning beast or a tailed beast, but a living human being.
When Bai Ye was complaining, Yahiko had already picked up the scroll on the ground.
After reading the contents of the letter, Yahiko's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Bai Ye with a subtle expression.
Seeing the change in Yahiko's expression, Nagato and Konan also leaned over to take a look. The three of them looked at Bai Ye together, their faces full of strange colors.
Bai Ye, who came out of his daze, noticed the eyes of several people and said dissatisfiedly:
"What are you looking at me for? Read the contents of the letter! Can I know the contents of the letter?"
Hearing this, Yahiko hesitated, looked at Nagato and Konan, and said:
"Bai Ye, you may really know the contents inside. Several of us have already read the contents inside. The contents inside just correspond to your prediction just now. Teacher Jiraiya really asked us for help."
