When the power reshuffle within Konoha began, Nine-Tails went berserk, and the news of Fourth Hokage and his wife's death in battle quickly flew to the major ninja villages as if it had grown wings.
Kumogakure was the first to receive the news. The fourth generation Lightning Village Ai, after hearing the uneasy Yellow Flash, died together with Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. He was so excited that he smashed the table in front of him.
Samui looked at the newly appointed Fourth Raikage A with some embarrassment.
Ai and his father have very similar personalities, they like to bang the table at every turn.
Raikage Building's tables have been changed three times this month, and as expected they were smashed to pieces by him again.
Ai didn't care about such a trivial matter as the table at this time, his expression was particularly excited.
"Yellow Flash is dead. The new generation Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will not be able to form combat effectiveness in a short time. Konoha also suffered a heavy loss."
"This is a good time for us to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack Konoha!"
The more Ai said, the more excited he became. He wished he could send troops now and take the lead in attacking Konoha.
Samui poured cold water on him helplessly.
"Lord Raikage, we also suffered huge losses during Third Great Ninja War, and the village's finances are already facing collapse. It's really not appropriate to go to war at this time."
Among Third Great Ninja War, Konoha was targeted by all parties, and was undoubtedly the ninja village that suffered the greatest loss. It was even directly interrupted for a generation.
Various pillars also died and were forced to commit suicide for various reasons.
Konoha was even beaten to the entrance of the village at the end, and Land of Fire faced the end of being torn apart.
That is to say, Konoha talents emerged in large numbers, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Namikaze Minato and other talents appeared frequently, which withstood the offensives of all parties. Each village could not bear the huge losses, so they had no choice but to choose a truce.
Third Great Ninja War Rather than saying which side won, it is better to say that all parties could not bear the huge losses, and the blood was almost drained, so the war was stopped as a last resort.
Kumogakure's losses were not small. When their main force attacked Konoha, Yanying Village directly stabbed them in the back.
In order to cover the retreat of his men, the third generation Lightning Village, Ai's father, fought alone against tens of thousands of Iwagakure for three days and three nights, and finally died of exhaustion.
The death of the leader was a very serious blow to Kumogakure. It is no exaggeration to say that the death of Third Raikage directly dealt a heavy blow to the morale of Kumogakure.
Although the newly appointed Ai also had military exploits in Third Great Ninja War, he was still far behind Third Raikage, and his short-term prestige could not convince the public.
Therefore, he must establish his prestige as soon as possible, and as we all know, the best way to establish prestige is to win a war.
Now Konoha, which was hit hard by Third Great Ninja War and has not yet recovered, lost two generals again. It is a good time for Kumogakure to invade.
However, losses are also an issue that needs to be considered, not to mention that the war has led to the decline of people's livelihood. Now Kumogakure does not have much money to support the consumption of another war.
Ai Mingming also knew about this and sat down gloomily.
Anbu at the door was about to change to a new table, but was directly stopped by Samui.
Because the next words will probably cause the boss to slap the table again. Now Kumogakure needs money everywhere, so just save as much as you can.
"Boss, we do need to recuperate now, but that doesn't mean we can't threaten Konoha."
"Oh, what do you say?" Ai immediately became interested and motioned to Samui to continue.
Samui said, "We need to repair our lives. Other villages have similar ideas."
"Konoha's situation will only get worse. They definitely don't want to start a war."
"We can definitely create some trouble and get something we want."
"Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. He doesn't look like a king. He will definitely compromise when the time comes."
Regarding Samui's evaluation, everyone here nodded without any intention to refute.
It seemed that Konoha had won the third war, but under such circumstances, Konoha would actually pay compensation in order to end the war as soon as possible.
Even a person like Ai, whose brain is full of muscles, knows that peace is not something to beg, but to be fought for.
Doing this will only make people think you are weak and can be bullied, and they may come to beat you next time.
He subconsciously wanted to pat the table, but found that the new table had not been brought up yet, and he felt a little embarrassed.
But the lack of a table did not prevent him from giving orders.
"Immediately send a mission to Konoha to find out the truth about Konoha."
"If possible, grab a few children from the Kekkei Genkai family, or come back with Secret Technique."
"Don't worry that things will get bigger. Let me make things bigger! The village will stand firmly behind them."
Iwagakure.
Ōnoki of Both Scales also fell into a long silence when he saw the news from the spy lurking at Konoha.
Iwagakure's losses in Third Great Ninja War were beyond imagination. Just in the battle of besieging Third Raikage, Iwagakure lost thousands of excellent Shinobi.
Moreover, Iwagakure is located in a very remote location, Land of Earth's allocation is not large, and the village's finances are very difficult. The pension alone makes Ōnoki somewhat breathless.
Unlike Kumogakure, although they did not lose high-end combat power, their backbone was directly interrupted by Third Raikage.
Kumogakure It's just not suitable to start a war now, but if you insist on squeezing, you can still draw nearly 10,000 Shinobi.
Iwagakure's grassroots Shinobi has suffered heavy losses, and now Iwagakure really can't make any more mistakes.
More importantly, due to geographical environment factors, Iwagakure actually has more information than Kumogakure.
The intelligence mentioned that a purple giant suddenly appeared in Night of the Nine-Tails, holding a large sword, and killed Nine-Tails with one blow.
The young boy Ai also saw this information, but he didn't take it to heart. He probably thought it was just a special kind of Secret Technique.
Killing Nine-Tails with one knife is indeed too exaggerated. How could Ai believe such a ridiculous thing?
But how could Ōnoki not know what that was?
He still remembers the shadow that Uchiha Madara brought to him when he was young. Even now.
Ōnoki is the smartest old boy. He knew that Uchiha Madara would not hit children, so he kept himself from growing taller and maintained the body shape of a child.
Although the identity of the purple giant has yet to be verified, he will never act rashly until it is confirmed whether there is another person like Madara in the Uchiha Family.
"Father, what should we do?" Kitsuchi saw Ōnoki hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"... Let's just wait and see what happens. The village can no longer afford greater losses."
Kitsuchi did not question Ōnoki's decision.
There is indeed not enough manpower in the village now, so it is not appropriate to start a war.
In terms of wisdom, he has always been very convinced of his father.
