Chapter 2646 Confrontation
Is this Uchiha Nobuhiko consciously calculating, or is he acting instinctively?
It happens to be at this time...
No.
It should be said that at every turning point of fate, he would always bring me endless trouble.
I'm afraid, this is why so many time-travelers cannot change any process in the end.
The people around him quickly passed on his orders. The Konoha ninjas who had been relieved because of the victory in the battle and the defeat of the enemy army immediately became tense again. The entire Konoha seemed to be tense both openly and secretly. in preparation for war.
At this time, Qianye's heart was filled with sighs.
To be honest, at this moment, he didn't want to save the Third Hokage, but the most important thing he should do now was not to rescue the Third Hokage.
First of all, from the perspective of the value of the Third Hokage, the current Third Hokage is not enough to let him leave from here.
After all, the Third Hokage is already old. Even if he is saved, with this incident, he will not be able to play the role of a Hokage as a Hokage.
Yes, the Third Hokage is old.
Although saying this is somewhat unfair to an old man who has devoted his life to Konoha, if we look at the overall situation of the pure ninja world, the current third generation Hokage has little value.
In such a huge and extreme Chuunin Exam, he created such a big mess, and even asked others to protect his own safety. As a Hokage, he is no longer able to perform his functions, and may even bring down the Leaf Village. evaluation of strength.
You must know that no Hokage of any generation has ever needed support due to their own reasons when the village was in crisis.
Needless to say, the first and second generation Hokage, the fourth generation Hokage, even facing a tailed beast like the Nine-Tails, protected the entire Konoha Village by himself without support, even if he died, No ninja village dares to look down on Konoha.
However, the current situation of the Third Hokage is different. If he goes to support now, maybe it can be justified as the Fifth Hokage. However, to the outside world, the deterrence of Hokage will be compromised in the future. .
Because the outside world has seen Naruto who needs support from others.
At that time, it is still unknown how many variations of tactics will appear, and how many more troublesome and threatening tactics that enemy villages would not think about before because of Naruto's intimidation.
After all, the Hokage who needs support is a point of division and a point of weakening. It is not important that the myth of Naruto is broken, but if the enemy finds such a point of weakening, then in many situations, this point of weakening will become a breakthrough point.
Therefore, at this time, even if the third generation of Hokage dies in battle, as long as the enemy is repelled, then the myth of Hokage will always exist. All villages will not find this weakening point, and as long as this weakening point is not found, then with wood Ye's experience in dealing with these enemies from outside the village means that even if he is at a disadvantage at the beginning, he can slowly turn it into an advantage because there is no new weakening point in the situation, that is, a breakthrough point, and finally repel the enemy.
The name Naruto is really of strategic significance.
Moreover, it can exert an extremely huge advantage when Konoha Village is attacked.
Therefore, at this time, strategically speaking, what Chiba had to do was to watch the Third Hokage die in battle.
Secondly, it is obvious that Uchiha Nobuhiko will not retreat so easily now. Perhaps the coalition forces of Otogakure and Sunagakure are really retreating. However, Chiba believes that Uchiha Nobuhiko will not fail to foresee this. He There must be some means to allow the combined forces of the two villages to attack Konoha again.
Whether it's coercion or inducement.
Since Uchiha Nobuhiko chose this time to attack Konoha, then he must be well prepared, and it cannot end in such a hurry.
And if he doesn't stick here now, seeing that he is gone, in order to force him to take action, Uchiha Nobuhiko may take action himself. By then, the loss of Konoha will not be worth it by an old Hokage.
And if he were to stay here, considering that Nobuhiko Uchiha had not taken action just now, there was a high probability that Nobuhiko Uchiha would not take action.
In other words, if I were still here, then this battle would basically remain within the scope of common sense in the ninja world, and this situation would undoubtedly be beneficial to Konoha.
After all, after seeing the earth escape technique that he had just developed, since these coalition forces had been defeated, they were basically scared out of their wits.
Even if he comes back to fight again, he is forced to fight. He has no choice but to fight. Before he fights, he is actually already timid.
And even if they are not forced to do anything, but are lured, then it only takes a while of fighting to make them feel timid.
After all, whether they were forced to do anything or were driven by greed, the scene just now has been engraved in their hearts. The reason why they came back was just the push from a third party. Their fighting intentions were not pure. It could even be said that their Morale was only aroused by a moment of helplessness and greed.
However, the ninjas of Konoha are different. First of all, the scene just now will undoubtedly give them great confidence. With him sitting here, this scene will always give the ninjas of Konoha confidence.
Secondly, it is the environment and position of the Konoha ninjas. For the Konoha ninjas, this is a defensive war. There is no retreat behind them. If they fail, they will be homeless. , they basically face a certain death outcome, and even suffer inhuman treatment. In the war of ninjas, there is no word surrender, because surrendering may be more uncomfortable than dying in battle.
This is not a matter of fear of death, but if you win, you will be able to survive. If you fail, as a ninja on the losing side, especially a ninja who loses his village, the best ending is painless. die.
No ninja village would truly accept him. It would be better to die happily than to accept inhuman treatment.
At this time, the ninjas of Konoha actually had no way out.
Furthermore, even if we don’t start from ourselves, for the ninjas of Konoha, their family, friends, lovers and other loved ones are all behind this wall. Some people may not be afraid of death, but these loved ones are People will give them a stronger desire for survival than death.
This is also one of the reasons why Konoha Village has been able to thrive and have always stood at the top of the ninja world. The education of the Will of Fire can use various relationships to make individuals no longer individuals, but more. An extended reason for living.
A person can not be afraid of death, and even not being afraid of death will give ninjas more advantages in battle.
However, in the entire ninja world, not being afraid of death has become the standard for almost all ninjas. In other words, every ninja can suppress his survival instinct so that he is not afraid of death.
In fact, not being afraid of death will not gain you much advantage in battle, because both sides are not afraid of death.
And these various reasons for survival and protection derived from interpersonal relationships can stimulate more survival potential.
Not being afraid of death actually has very little effect in ninja combat.
However, if you are not afraid of death but have a reason not to die, then it will give the ninja stronger power.
In this regard, looking at Qianye's journey along the way, Qianye can honestly say that the most difficult one to deal with is Ye Yuebi, who is actually in his twilight years.
And Ye Yuebi fought against him with the intention of dying and the reason why he couldn't die.
To be honest, Qianye still remembers Ye Yuebi, a relatively early enemy, every time he recalls it. Later, he also investigated such a person.
Later, he realized that in the original battle, both of them had the intention of dying and had reasons why they couldn't die.
Perhaps, this is what is called faith.
And the current Konoha ninjas also have this power of faith.
Self-confidence, not afraid of death, and inability to die. With these three points, during the war, it can be said that morale has reached its peak.
In this aspect alone, Konoha can already be said to have an absolute advantage.
In conventional warfare, this is already a basically invincible position.
After all, opponents are not completely capable of crushing them.
Therefore, it is also crucial for him to stay here tactically.
The third point is also one that is extremely clear to Chiba now. If he rescues the Third Hokage, or divides his troops to rescue the Third Hokage, then there will be countless accidents or accidents that are beneficial to Uchiha Nobuhiko. This is force majeure. anticipated factors.
In other words, it is the tide of the entire destiny process.
Just like when Obito was rescued, the timeline was advanced. For example, when he was trying to save Kushina from the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Uchiha Nobuhiko suddenly appeared and disrupted all plans.
Because the Third Hokage was going to die in this Chunin Exam.
This is fate.
Perhaps, Uchiha Nobuhiko is okay.
But, Uchiha Nobuhiko is under the influence of fate?
Chiba really doesn't have any confidence.
And this was one of the reasons why he believed that the decisive battle with Uchiha Nobuhiko would be two or three years later. Under the tide of fate, he didn't have much chance of winning.
Yes, the third point is the reason why Chiba can only stay here and not rescue.
that is……
destiny!
"Really... just like that, ignoring the Third Hokage?"
At this time, just as Chiba's mind was flashing, the trembling voice of the personal guard came from behind.
With this tone, even if Chiba didn't look back, he could still imagine the third Hokage's personal guard behind him crying with sadness and resentment.
There is no doubt that the Third Hokage is a respected and loved Hokage.
This old man who dedicated his whole life for Konoha was worthy of the tears of such a big man.
"Believe in the Third Hokage, he will always be our Hokage of Konoha. What we have to do is to guard this place and not cause trouble to the Third Hokage."
After that, Qianye raised his lips lightly and said.
The words were extremely comforting.
situation……
Is it really not allowed to save the Third Hokage?
At this time, the personal guard behind Chiba looked at the back of the man who was not guarding against him at all, but his heart was not about usurping power and deliberately not rescuing him, but he was not interested in the man in front of him at all. No doubt.
It was as if this man would never do something like betraying Konoha and Hokage.
And it was precisely because of this trust without any doubt that he could not say anything else.
Silence suddenly enveloped the city.
…
"It's quite fast. I have to praise you."
At this time, in the dense forest outside Konoha Village, Uchiha Nobuhiko was standing on the branches. He didn't see him turning around, so he spoke.
"snort……"
At this moment, behind him, two slightly panting ninjas were standing.
It was Kabuto Yakushi and Ma Ji.
"But do you have to threaten life and death like this so that you can show a little bit of efficiency?"
Then, in the next second, Uchiha Nobuhiko changed the subject, and the previous praise suddenly turned into the harshest criticism and the most sinister suspicion.
"Now that everyone has gathered, how about it? Attack now?"
However, Yakushi Kabuto and Ma Ji ignored this change and just asked.
"Wait a while. The Konoha ninjas are probably all ready to prepare. Since Taki Chiba is here, Konoha will never think that we are really defeated, and they are even ready to deal with our second attack."
In this regard, Uchiha Nobuhiko said with a confident look.
Already prepared?
But at this time, the two people who heard these words felt their hearts skip a beat.
Originally, after seeing Taki Chiba's method of controlling the earth, they had lingering fears. Even now, they were holding on to a bit of luck, holding Konoha thinking that they were defeated, and they did not expect this second attack.
In this way, you can be somewhat caught off guard and improve your chances of winning.
But now, Taki Chiba is in charge, and Konoha is still on guard. This... isn't this a suicide?
It's not that they don't believe in this Uchiha Nobuhiko, it's actually that Taki Chiba and Konoha are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
That image of being invincible.
Even Nobuhiko Uchiha in front of him was defeated before.
Under the hands of Taki Chiba.
They really used actual results to convince themselves to completely believe in this Uchiha Nobuhiko!
"Hmph! You are short-sighted. Have you forgotten that with Taki Chiba in charge of Konoha, can you still deal with Konoha in the future? And if Konoha, which you cannot deal with, wants to be disadvantageous to you, what do you have left? "
But at this time, as if he had insight into people's hearts, Uchiha Nobuhiko said with a sneer.
That's why he hates today's ninjas.
These guys don't even have the most basic memory.
Cowardly and humble.
I was aware of this big problem just now, but now I am thinking about retreating.
They are worse than ignorant wild beasts. Wild beasts still know how to fight to the death. When the time comes, these people will probably be ready to bend their knees.
"Just tell me how to do it!"
When he heard this sound, Ma Ji almost froze and blurted out.
"wait."
In response to this, Uchiha Nobuhiko's face softened slightly when he heard this sound. This was what he wanted to hear.
What we have to do now is wait.
After the Konoha ninjas were tired of being vigilant.
