Chapter 296 The Hidden Rock Road
Border of the Land of Fire.
The Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki was standing on a cliff, looking down at the forest in the distance with a condescending attitude, with an ambition that could not be concealed in his eyes.
Because the Land of Earth was poor and the Land of Fire was rich, the Hidden Rock Village had plans and actions to invade the Land of Fire as early as when the Second Generation was alive.
However, due to the deep foundation of Konoha, every military action against the Land of Fire ended in failure.
There was nothing that could be done about it.
Although the Land of Fire was surrounded by enemies and was the primary target of attack by many ninja villages, this rich land was never short of powerful and persevering ninjas.
Even if it was besieged by several ninja villages, Konoha was able to win the war with its own foundation.
However, those were all things of the past.
With the occurrence of a series of events such as the Third Ninja World War, the Night of the Nine-Tails and the Uchiha Rebellion, Konoha had fallen into an unprecedented state of weakness.
As long as we seize this opportunity and take a bite, we will definitely be able to gain a lot of benefits.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the Uchiha really launched a coup, otherwise the military action led by himself will most likely end in failure.
Just when Ohnoki was worried about the future, Huangtu walked up to Ohnoki and said excitedly:
"Father, your judgment is correct. Konoha broke out a few days ago. Uchiha Itachi, the genius of the Uchiha clan, defected from Konoha Ninja Village after killing all the clan members."
After hearing this, Ohnoki was slightly stunned and complained in his heart:
"Didn't the Uchiha clan want to launch a coup? How did it become Uchiha Itachi killed the entire clan and defected from Konoha Ninja Village? How is this different from what was agreed?"
But it didn't take long for Ohnoki to figure out the key.
Uchiha Itachi killed the entire clan. This was just an official announcement from Konoha. The real situation could not be that simple. The boy named Uchiha Itachi, no matter how talented he was, could not destroy the entire clan by himself.
Moreover, Uchiha ninjas pay the most attention to feelings. How could they kill the most important clan members?
After a little thought, Ohnoki began to imagine the real situation of Konoha at that time.
At that time, it was likely that the Konoha high-level discovered the Uchiha's plan to launch a coup, and sent hundreds of ninjas to surround the Uchiha clan and nip the Uchiha's coup in the bud.
And the Uchiha boy named Itachi was probably the only survivor and was wanted as a murderer.
After thinking about this, Ohnoki felt inexplicably emotional.
He knew the two old foxes Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo too well. He knew that if these two old foxes knew that someone in the village was restless, they would definitely use these means.
And the Uchiha boy who was wronged was pitiful. Not only did his family die and he became an individual, but he also carried such a serious crime.
After calming down, Ohnoki began to think about the next attack on Konoha.
In the military operations of the past two days, he and his Iwagakure Corps captured more than a dozen border outposts and several military camps in the Land of Fire. As long as they rushed through the next pass, they could reach the heart of the Land of Fire.
If everything goes well, it will only take a few days to reach the outskirts of Konoha Village.
This is a unique opportunity for the Hidden Rock Village. Once they reach the outskirts of Konoha Village, the myth of the invincibility of the Hidden Rock Village will be completely defeated.
The Hidden Rock Village will replace the Hidden Rock Village as the first ninja village in the ninja world.
Huang Tu noticed his father's excited eyes and said excitedly: "Father, you really predicted this time. After this battle, when we take the land of the Land of Fire, Lao Zi and Han will definitely be convinced by you."
After hearing this, Ohnoki's inflated mentality was instantly beaten back to its original form.
Is he the one who made an important judgment on the situation in Konoha? It's not him at all. The person who really knows the situation in Konoha is Bai Ye of the Hidden Rain Village.
As early as half a year ago, Bai Ye predicted that Uchiha would launch a coup, and the prediction was confirmed not long ago.
When he thought of Bai Ye's terrifying strength comparable to the first generation of Hokage, and this intelligence analysis ability that can be called a prophecy, Ohnoki couldn't help but shrink his clothes, and he felt chilled.
Thinking of this, Ohnoki patted Huangtu on the shoulder and said, "Our target this time is not the land of the Land of Fire, nor have we thought of attacking the Konoha Ninja Village."
Huangtu was stunned and looked at his father in disbelief.
Doesn't his father like land the most? The espionage activities against the Land of Stone and the Land of Grass have never stopped. Why did he suddenly show no interest in land?
Ohnoki said meaningfully: "Our goal is to make Konoha give up the military alliance with other small countries and let Konoha give up the status of the first ninja village. The rest can be discussed later."
Hearing this, Huangtu understood Ohnoki's idea.
This time, the act of taking advantage of Konoha's fire was carried out while Konoha was in civil strife. Once Konoha recovered its vitality, it would definitely make the Hidden Rock Village fall into the quagmire of war.
Although there are many ninjas in the Hidden Rock Village, there are also many ninjas in Konoha, and the quality is even higher.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of Konoha's civil strife, the Hidden Rock Village can get a huge advantage in the early stage.
But if it is delayed for a long time, it will be different.
Apart from anything else, the surrounding Sand Village, Cloud Village, and Mist Village would definitely not stand idly by, which was something that neither he nor his father wanted to see.
Of course, what Huang Tu didn't know was that Ohnoki was most afraid of the Rain Village.
If the Hidden Rock Village really swallowed up the Earth Style of the Land of Fire, it would form an encirclement around the Hidden Rain Village, and the two ninja villages that had been cooperating secretly would also have conflicts because of interests.
In terms of the overall strength of the village, the Hidden Rain Village is definitely not the opponent of the Hidden Rain Village.
But there are too many strong people in the Hidden Rain Village. Once these masters launch an attack on the Hidden Rock Village, the Hidden Rock Village will never be able to carry out its mission normally again.
Especially for the Hidden Rain Village's White Night, Ohnoki was only afraid of it and then feared.
In Ohnoki's view, White Night is a young version of Uchiha Madara, and he also has the cunning and vicious mind of Tobirama, and is the most terrifying ninja today.
In the face of such a powerful ninja, if you don't accept cooperation at this moment, you will only have to surrender in the future. After all, there is no Hashirama Senju in the ninja world today.
After staring at the loess for a few times, Ohnoki left the cliff and fell into the crowd.
He looked in the direction of Konohagakure and shouted to the surrounding Iwagakure ninjas: "Iwagakure ninjas, we must take the pass ahead today and go straight into the heart of the Land of Fire!"
"Iwagakure will become the most powerful ninja village in the ninja world!"
