Chapter 475: War Breaks Out Again
Tamura Hao allowed the three tailed beasts to live in the village, but he also gave instructions, that is, to retract the tails and not make them so special that people would associate them with the tailed beasts at first glance.
Especially the Nine-Tails. Konoha should be almost crazy now, looking for the traces of Uzumaki Naruto and the Nine-Tails everywhere.
Konoha is indeed crazy, to be precise, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others who know the truth are going crazy.
They didn't expect that the matter of the Kumogakure delegation had not been resolved yet, and their own Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was lost, and it was lost on the same night, which made them have to suspect that the Kumogakure played a wave of feints to the east and attacks to the west.
After all, there is no such coincidence, and the kidnapped Hyuga family lady was also replaced and disappeared under their noses. All these prove that the Kumogakure has means far beyond their cognition.
Not to mention that the Kumogakure kidnapped Uzumaki Kushina back then. Although that was part of their conspiracy, the Kumogakure did succeed in the end, and even the Third Raikage personally came to take the person away by force.
"Hiruzen, let's go to war."
Shimura Danzo, who had just returned, looked at his old friend and proposed to go to war with the Hidden Cloud Village again.
He would not talk about the previous calculations against the Hyuga clan, but this time even the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was stolen, which was really intolerable.
The Nine-Tails must be taken back as soon as possible!
"How is the Eastern Theater?"
Taking a puff of smoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked about the situation in the Eastern Theater.
"The Hidden Mist Village has been greatly weakened since the coup, and is now shrinking in all aspects, almost closing the country, and no one has come to the Land of Fire."
Shimura Danzo replied, he had the confidence to propose going to war.
At this stage, the war in the ninja world is almost over. The ninja army of the Hidden Rock Village has suffered heavy losses since it was annihilated by the Hidden Mist and Hidden Cloud Ninjas, and two Kage-level and one Tailed Beast Jinchuriki died. Now it has to guard against the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village while continuing to fight with the Hidden Sand Village. The pressure is not small.
The Sand Village is not doing well either. They have been defeated repeatedly on the battlefield. First, they were defeated by them, and then by the Mist Ninja. In addition, they do not have abundant resources, so they have been struggling to fight until now.
The Cloud Village is also not doing well. First, they were severely hit by the Rock Village. Even the Third Raikage was surrounded and killed. The Fourth Raikage has only been on the throne for a few years. The village is not stable. They have fought with Konoha for several years in the Land of Hot Springs and suffered heavy losses. In addition, they have to guard against the Rock Village and the Mist Village, which is also very difficult.
At this time, Konoha is under the least pressure, and it is just right to go to the Land of Hot Springs to start a war.
"What about the Sand Village and the Rock Village?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Mito Kado En. This old friend is in charge of intelligence work and knows these things best.
"The Land of Grass and the Land of Rivers are both very peaceful, but it was Tsunade and Orochimaru who showed up last time and suppressed the thoughts of the Sand Village and the Rock Village. We cannot withdraw troops from those two sides, otherwise it is hard to guarantee that the two sides will not have some tricks.
Especially the Sand Village is very dissatisfied with the terms of the contract signed last time."
Mito Kado En frowned and felt that he had to be more cautious, otherwise once they fought with the Cloud Village with all their strength, the Sand Village and the Rock Village suddenly attacked again and it would be a pit.
It is not known whether Tsunade and Orochimaru will appear again.
"My roots plus the Hyuga clan are enough to suppress the Cloud Ninja."
Shimura Danzo still proposed to go to war. They have already deployed a lot of people in the Land of Hot Springs, and the elite of Uchiha are there.
In this way, they can fight back and forth with the Cloud Ninja. If he and the Hyuga clan are added, it will be enough to suppress them, and then take the opportunity to use the sealing technique to seal the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, in exchange for the Nine-Tails.
Although it was decided to trade two for one, Danzo Shimura did not feel at a loss.
Although they were all tailed beasts, there was a huge gap in their strength. The Nine-Tails almost crippled their Konoha, but the Eight-Tails was often suppressed by the Third Raikage before.
So the Nine-Tails must be taken back.
"This is also an opportunity to weaken the Hyuga and Uchiha."
Koharu Utatane spoke up. They had wanted to weaken the Hyuga and Uchiha before. Now that they had this opportunity, they naturally had to seize it.
"The matter of the Nine-Tails needs to be kept secret for the time being, otherwise the other three ninja villages may have ideas."
Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed to his old friend's proposal to start a war, but emphasized the confidentiality of the matter.
Originally, he didn't want to continue fighting with the Hidden Cloud Village, but the Hidden Cloud Village was too much this time. Not only did they want to seize the Byakugan, they also captured the Nine-Tails. This was really unbearable.
The tailed beasts are an important node for the balance of the major ninja villages, and their Fire Country is in the four wars. The power of the Nine-Tails is even more important and must not be lost. For this reason, even if the war is started again, it is worth it.
As for the weakening of the Hyuga and Uchiha, it is also necessary. He does not want to be seized by the two major families to launch a coup, or even imitate the Kirigakure to hold a public trial.
At that time, not only will he be infamous for thousands of years, but his family will also be implicated and exterminated.
So this battle must be fought, even if all the people on the other side are killed.
The four discussed again before dispersing and preparing for each other.
Sarutobi Hiruzen went straight to the Hyuga clan, while Shimura Danzo led the elite of the Root directly to the north to the Land of Hot Springs.
The renewed war between Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village has once again escalated the Ninja World War that was about to stop, and all forces soon learned the inside story.
"The Hidden Cloud Village actually plotted to get the Byakugan bloodline of the Hyuga clan."
At the front line of the Hidden Cloud Village, Luo Sha read the intelligence sent and was surprised at the Hidden Cloud Village's methods.
The Sand Village was also jealous of Konoha's Byakugan, which was a strategic existence and had a much greater impact on the war than Uchiha's Sharingan.
However, the Hyuga clan had strange curse marks on their bodies, and there was no way to obtain their Byakugan. According to their investigation, only a very small number of Hyuga clan members did not have that curse mark, but those people basically stayed in Konoha Village and rarely came out, so there was no way to obtain it.
Who would have thought that the Cloud Village played a big game and got the bloodline of the Hyuga Byakugan.
That was the bloodline, not a single Byakugan. In time, a new Hyuga clan could be developed, and its value to the ninja village was immeasurable.
"Let the village be prepared. If the war between Konoha and Cloud Village expands further, the ninja army on the western front will be transferred to the Kingdom of River.
The armistice agreement that was originally signed must be changed."
Thinking of the contract signed after the defeat, Luo Sha felt ashamed and had to modify it.
That was not only to wash away the shame, but also for the future development of the village.
The funds of the Sand Village are already tight, and the contract stipulates that part of the village's employment tasks must be transferred to Konoha, which will reduce the income of the village and the ninjas in the village.
With less income, it is naturally difficult to train a large number of ninjas, which is extremely detrimental to the future development of the village.
This is also the insidiousness of Konoha, and they want to use this to continue to weaken their Sand Village.
There was no opportunity before, but now that the opportunity is in front of them, they must seize it.
"The Kirigakure Village also needs to pay attention. The strength and potential of the Fourth Mizukage are too terrible."
Chiyo is more concerned about the Kirigakure Village. It is really that the Fourth Mizukage is too strong, and he is only thirteen years old now.
It is really unimaginable what level a twelve or thirteen-year-old Kage-level strongman can achieve in the future.
"It's just relying on external forces. Orochimaru's method of resurrecting the dead must have limitations, and it is impossible to resurrect perfectly."
Luo Sha is not afraid of this. In his opinion, the Fourth Mizukage mainly relied on the power of puppet armor and ninja tools, and his own strength is just like that.
Although the record was brilliant, it was all done by tricks.
The reason why the two Kage-level strongmen and the tailed beast Jinchūriki of the Hidden Rock Village were killed in the three-way battlefield of Yunwu Rock was that they took advantage of the convenience of surprise attack, and secondly, the Hidden Rock Village had a fierce battle with the strong men of the Hidden Mist Village, which consumed a lot of energy, so the other side took advantage of it.
If it was in its heyday, it would never be easy to be defeated.
As for the coup in the Hidden Mist Village, although four strong men of the Hidden Rock Village were killed, including the second generation Tsuchikage, they were all dead people who were resurrected by some means.
That kind of forbidden technique could not be too powerful, otherwise Konoha would have been invincible long ago, and it would not have fought so badly in this Ninja World War, and was even more destroyed by the Nine-Tails.
If the first generation Hokage could be resurrected, the Nine-Tails would have been easily suppressed long ago.
So there is a limit to that kind of technique. It is hard to say how strong the resurrected dead can be, and it is not surprising that they were killed and suppressed.
"According to the information we got from Kirigakure, the resurrected dead seem to be able to be suppressed by sealing techniques. We will dispatch a group of sealed ninjas to prepare.
There is no one left in Konoha now. As long as we keep an eye on Tsunade and Orochimaru, we will definitely be able to break Konoha's defense line in River Country."
Rasa is full of confidence. As long as they don't face Konoha's main force, they will definitely win in Sand Village.
"What's wrong?"
Suddenly realizing that Chiyo's expression was not right, he asked.
"I have been thinking about why Tsunade didn't participate in this Ninja World War. She just showed up last time.
I originally thought it was due to the inside story of the demise of the Senju clan. She herself hasn't returned to Konoha for a long time.
But I suddenly got a vague piece of information some time ago, which may be beneficial to this war."
After thinking for a while, Chiyo told the information about Tsunade.
"The death of her relatives and clansmen seems to have caused her great mental trauma, which is why she did not participate in this Ninja World War.
She has rarely fought with others in recent years, and was even chased by a group of ordinary people for debts. This is very abnormal."
"Mental trauma."
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Luo Sha felt that this was a great opportunity.
"How sure are you?"
"Not sure, but it shouldn't be bad, at least there is a reason why she can't participate in the war."
Chiyo couldn't make an accurate judgment either, and needed to face Tsunade once to be sure.
"Let Karura and Ye Cang come to me, and we will open up the eastern front."
Thinking about it, Luo Sha decided to fight.
He urgently needs a record that he can show off. Since there is a flaw in Konoha, he will take advantage of the situation and attack to achieve greater results.
There is no way. It is too boring to fight with the Hidden Rock Village here. The main fighter here is the son of the third generation of Tsuchikage, who is very good at defensive operations. It is almost impossible to defeat him.
This is not a desert, and he cannot fully develop his own magnetic escape power.
In this case, it would be better to change the battlefield and go to the Land of Rivers to fight Konoha again.
"I will come forward to lure Tsunade out again."
Chiyo agreed with this. She also wanted to defeat Konoha. Her son and daughter-in-law were killed by Konoha, and her grandson was corrupted because of it, which made their family broken up.
Although that person is dead, Konoha is still there.
Not only the Sand Village has some thoughts because of the renewed war between Konoha and Iwagakure, but the Iwagakure Village is also the same.
And they were also very angry with Konoha and Orochimaru. After all, Orochimaru resurrected those people, including their second generation.
This matter must be investigated thoroughly. It would be perfect if Orochimaru could be lured out again.
Even Ohnoki was ready to go out personally. The matter of the teacher must be investigated thoroughly. If Orochimaru really controlled the teacher's soul, he must get it back.
That is not only a matter of honor and disgrace, but also related to many secrets of the village, especially the secret of Dust Release.
The Cloud Village was also shocked by Konoha's reaction.
"The Hyuga family dispatched 500 ninjas, and Shimura Danzo also led the Root to the north. Do they want to fight us to the death?"
Looking at the latest intelligence obtained, the fourth generation Raikage sitting on the front line was very puzzled.
They did plan to get the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan before, and at the same time take the opportunity to determine Konoha's attitude and strength.
It's just that the Byakugan bloodline was really not obtained, and even if it was obtained, it wouldn't be such a big reaction.
"Perhaps the coup in Kirigakure and the fate of the Third Mizukage stimulated them."
Touchai, who had been analyzing intelligence, suddenly said something, and probably guessed what was going on in Konoha.
The Fourth Raikage cast a puzzled look, what's so exciting about this?
Touchai explained: "Unlike our Kumogakure, the situation inside Konoha and Kirigakure is much more complicated.
The Third Mizukage was the leader of the Shadow Guard of the First Mizukage, and he also participated in the first Five Shadows Talks with the First Mizukage. He should have succeeded to become the Second Mizukage.
But the patriarch of the Hozuki family suddenly allied with the three major ninja clans to seize the position of Mizukage and became the Second Mizukage.
After that, with the death of the Second Mizukage, the ninja clan also suffered a heavy blow, and the Third Mizukage took the opportunity to take the position.
But in recent years, he has been fighting with the faction left by the Second Mizukage. The blood mist policy gradually evolved from the struggle.
Once the political struggle appears, it is inevitable to use some insidious means, which cannot be seen in the light.
So the third generation Mizukage wanted to pass the position of Mizukage to his disciple Yagura Karatachi after he was old, so that he could maintain the power of his own faction and cover up and eliminate what he had done.
But who would have thought that the head of the Ringo family, Tamura Hao, would emerge as a dark horse and forcefully suppress the two major factions after the fight, and publicly try the third generation Mizukage and others, nailing them to the pillar of shame forever, and even the family members were implicated in the trial.
On the Konoha side The situation is similar, or even more complicated. The second Hokage was hunted by Kinkaku and Ginkaku, and passed the position of Hokage to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Because he did not return to Konoha to pass the position in public, only the second generation's last words brought back by Sarutobi Hiruzen and others were naturally difficult to convince the public, especially the Senju Family and the Uchiha Family.
Therefore, Konoha has been fighting and consuming internally for decades. During the Second Ninja World War, the Uzushiogakure Village and the Senju Family were successively destroyed, and the shadows of the third Hokage and others were in them.
Although they did it perfectly, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no traces left, not to mention such Like the Third Hokage, he was interrogated and tried in public after being injected with drugs.
To avoid that, we must eliminate or weaken the forces within the village that are capable of coup d'état, and at this stage, there are only Uchiha and Hyuga.
The elite of the Uchiha have been fighting against us in the Land of Hot Springs, and this time they forced out the elite of the Hyuga clan, obviously wanting to use our power to weaken or even eliminate the two major families. "
Dodai thought that this was the truth, and the loss of the Hyuga bloodline was just an excuse, and it might even be directed by the Third Hokage and others.
After all, who can kidnap people in Konoha?
Do you really think that the Third Hokage and others and the Konoha Anbu are just eating dry food?
And the fact that their people can sneak into the Hyuga clan's territory is itself a proof. After all, at that time, the people in their delegation must have been targeted by the Konoha Anbu, and it is not so easy to avoid their eyes.
"They used us as knives!"
With a dark complexion, Yeyue Ai did not expect that there would be a day when he would be used as a knife.
"Can it be cracked?"
"It's very difficult. The initiative is in the hands of the Third Hokage and his people."
Touchai couldn't think of a way to break the situation for a while, and he guessed that the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan should have guessed the Third Hokage's sinister intentions. It depends on how the two clans deal with it.
"Is the Kirigakure still hiding?"
Yeyue Ai, who also couldn't think of a way to break the situation, turned the topic to the Kirigakure. At this stage, the only enemies of their Kumogakure are Konoha and Kirigakure. Last time, they had already beaten the Rock Village to a pulp, and it was impossible for them to gather troops to attack again.
But the Kirigakure is different, especially the Ringo Ninja Clan.
"It's completely closed to the outside world. All foreign ninjas who enter the Land of Water will be killed. Even ordinary people will be interrogated and investigated. It's very sensitive."
Touchai felt that the Kirigakure would not come out in the short term. After all, the losses from the coup were quite large, far exceeding the losses on the battlefield.
Not to mention that the Fourth Mizukage was particularly tough and ruthless. He directly held a great trial and almost removed all the middle and high-level officials in the village. It is estimated that the operation of the Hidden Mist Village was paralyzed. It is not so easy to recover.
Facing the retreating Hidden Mist Village, they had no choice. They couldn't cross the sea to attack the Land of Water.
In that case, they would most likely be ambushed by the Mist Ninja at sea. No one would want to fight the Mist Ninja at sea, and that would almost certainly lead to death.
On the other side of the Hidden Mist Village, Tamura Hao read the latest information about the Ninja World War, and smiled at the Master, saying everything.
He had previously given some intelligence obtained from Konoha to the Master to use and operate, trying to provoke the Ninja World War to continue, so as to continue to weaken the four major ninja villages and divert their attention, so as to facilitate their own development.
They themselves have no interest in this Ninja World War, and their goal has always been the Ninja Country Plan, so there is no need to consume and sacrifice in this Ninja World War.
Saving and accumulating strength is the best choice.
While developing the Hidden Mist Village, Tamura Hao did not give up his own practice, and even arranged a shadow clone to go to the Mizukage office to work and handle things most of the time.
His own practice and many research have been ongoing, especially those research projects have progressed rapidly after gaining the support of the entire Hidden Mist Village.
Tamura Hao himself is mainly practicing Yin and water attributes, and studying the bloodline of the Dark Release, wanting to fuse the Dark Release.
The Dark Release is a very powerful bloodline limit that can absorb the opponent's chakra and even ninjutsu, and return the ninjutsu back. It is simply a weakened version of the reincarnation eye pupil technique of Otsutsuki Momoshiki.
Moreover, he has some ideas that need to be tried and realized based on Ming Dun, so the integration of Ming Dun is very important.
