Land of Rain The war is raging, but Konoha is a peaceful scene.
Thanks to Kizaru's defeat of Kumogakure's attack, Konoha has not had much fighting recently.
Kizaru returned to the village and began his leisurely fishing life.
Drinking tea, fishing, and petting cats have become the things Kizaru does most every day.
The existence of Two-Tails Matatabi was also discovered by the elders and ninjas in the family.
At the beginning, everyone was worried and curious, but after spending three days without incident, the clan members were much more relieved about Matatabi.
Even some of the brave children of the family dared to run up to Matatabi, watching curiously and asking questions.
Matatabi was annoyed by the noise, because Kizaru did not allow it to show its true identity in the village, let alone hurt people at will, so he could only find Kizaru to complain angrily.
"Hey, I'm talking about you! Can you please take care of your people? You're so annoying!" Walking into the courtyard where Kizaru lived, they saw Kizaru sitting under the tree in the courtyard drinking tea and reading a book, and Matatabi complained.
"It means they all like you, Matatabi!" Kizaru put down the book in his hand and drank tea while replying.
"It's so annoying!" Matatabi complained again, walked to Kizaru, jumped lightly, and jumped onto the armrest of the chair.
Standing on the armrest and stretching out his paws, Matatabi grabbed a piece of pastry very naturally and ate it with a big mouthful.
"Matatabi, come with me to practice sparring outside the village in the afternoon." Matatabi and Kizaru said with a smile as they looked at Matatabi who were eating.
The paw holding the pastry shook, and Matatabi quickly jumped off the armrest, ignoring the pastry falling from his paw.
"No!" Standing on the ground, Matatabi shook his head vigorously.
No wonder Matatabi reacted so excitedly, it was really the first two sparring sessions that left a deep impression on it.
One time, Kizaru proposed not to use Chakra, but to rely only on physical strength to wrestle with it.
That time, Matatabi was knocked unconscious by Kizaru!
The second time, Kizaru said that he had just learned a new ninjutsu and hoped that Matatabi could help him practice it.
Having learned the lesson from the first time, Matatabi was originally prepared to refuse.
But faced with the temptation of Kizaru's offer of a big meal and a free trip out of the village, Matatabi couldn't help but agreed.
Then, Matatabi was punched by Kizaru, Strength Enhancement Technique, and was beaten to the point of suspicion.
The moment he was beaten, Matatabi almost thought he was going to see Six Paths.
The two consecutive bloody lessons made Matatabi understand deeply that he should not seek death and do not sparring with Kizaru.
"What a disappointment!"
Matatabi is unwilling, Teacher Sarutobi is too busy, and Hatake Sakumo is out on a mission again.
Kizaru discovered to his bitterness that he couldn't even find a single sparring opponent in the village.
Smiling and stroking his chin, Kizaru, who had just integrated Admiral's peak physical fitness and mastered Strength Enhancement Technique, was suddenly looking forward to the arrival of Third Raikage.
After all, Shinobi World at this stage, apart from Tailed Beast and Madara Uchiha, who is still alive, only Third Raikage can take a beating from him.
Just when Kizaru was looking forward to the arrival of Third Raikage, a piece of news came earlier than Third Raikage.
Land of Rain Hanzo, before repelling the Sunagakure troops, declared war on Land of Fire.
When this news reached Konoha, except for Kizaru who knew the plot, other senior officials in the village, including the heads of the various ninja clans, were all confused by Hanzo's brave operation.
Even the patriarch and elders of the Uchiha Clan, who had always been arrogant, admired strength and were full of ambitions towards Hokage Position, felt ashamed of Hanzo's bravery at this time.
Who gave Hanzo the courage?
Ōnoki?
Yes, it must only make sense that Land of Earth, which is also bordered by Land of Rain, provides support to Hanzo.
With the support of a big country, it makes sense for Hanzo to act so bravely and even a little crazy.
After receiving the news, Hiruzen Sarutobi took it very seriously and immediately held a high-level meeting.
As Konoha's new hero and the only contributor to the village's victory over Kumogakure, Kizaru was also invited.
There were seven people in total at this meeting. Except for Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, the participants all represented different forces in the village.
Hokage faction, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, Shimura Kizaru.
The heads of two powerful families, Hyuga and Uchiha.
The representative of the Shinobu clan and the clan leader of the Nara Clan.
"Behind Hanzo's move, there must be the support of other major countries!" At the meeting, Mitokado Homura, who is Hokage Advisor's additional staff officer, was the first to speak.
"Considering that Kumogakure recently defeated us and Raikage was also captured by Kizaru, we can rule it out for the time being." Having said this, Mitokado Homura instinctively looked at Kizaru who was sitting next to Hiruzen Sarutobi with a smile on his face.
"The most likely ones left are Land of Earth and Land of Water. Among them, Land of Water has been blocked for a long time with very little external intervention.
Therefore, the most likely ones are Land of Earth, Third Tsuchikage and Ōnoki. This person cannot be underestimated in terms of strength or resourcefulness!
This time Hanzo suddenly declared war on us, which is most likely the result of Ōnoki's instigation from behind."
He was extremely confident in his analysis. After finishing his speech, Mitokado Homura looked around and saw many people showing approval, so he sat down with satisfaction.
"What do other people think?" As the host of the meeting, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the senior executives sitting on the left and right sides and asked.
"I agree with Yan's analysis." As Mitokado Homura's long-term partner, Utatane Koharu agreed.
Nodding, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the others.
The clan leaders of Hyuga and Uchiha remained silent in a tacit agreement, with no intention of speaking.
Hiruzen Sarutobi could only look at the Sarutobi Clan's ally, Nara Clan's clan leader.
"Elder Yan's analysis is very reasonable." As a smart man, the patriarch of the Nara Clan first expressed his agreement with Mitokado Homura's analysis and then began to express his own views.
"Tsuchikage's side is indeed the most likely, but Land of Wind's side also has to be on guard.
Third Kazekage is powerful and ambitious, and has always coveted Konoha and Land of Fire.
I suspect that the war between Hanzo and Land of Wind may be an act, and their real target is us!"
"I have overlooked this point. Land of Wind is indeed very likely." Mitokado Homura agreed.
Kizaru, who had been listening with his hands on his chest and his right hand touching his chin, actually felt that what Mitokado Homura said made some sense.
After all, ordinary people can't do something like Hanzo, which is so brave that it can be called crazy.
In the original plot, the Three Kingdoms of Earth, Thunder and Water basically did not participate in Second Shinobi World War.
Hanzo is indeed self-aggrandizing and declared war on both Wind and Fire almost at the same time.
But in today's world, there is a huge butterfly like myself flapping its wings.
The plot has changed. Land of Lightning has entered the war and was immediately defeated.
It is possible that Ōnoki, who is Tsuchikage, is afraid of Konoha's powerful strength and secretly forms an alliance with Hanzo to provide support and consume Konoha's vitality.
However, from another perspective, due to his own appearance, Kumogakure suffered a disastrous defeat. Ōnoki, who acted cautiously, is more likely to choose not to be an enemy of Konoha and continue to develop silently.
"Everyone, do you think there is a possibility! There is no one behind Hanzo, he is so brave!" Thinking of this, Kizaru, who had remained silent, spoke up.
"Impossible!" Referring to others, Mitokado Homura felt that no one in the world would be so stupid!
"In my opinion, among the supporters behind Hanzo, Tsuchikage is the most likely." Sticking to his own judgment, Mitokado Homura said with certainty.
Touching his chin with a smile, Kizaru said to Mitokado Homura, "Since Elder Yan is so confident, why don't you let me take Tsuchikage back to the village and ask if it's him?"
Who is this confident???
Mitokado Homura is full of questions!
Others were also frightened by Kizaru's words. Thinking of Kizaru's record, they had to admit that it was really possible for Kizaru to do it.
"Kizaru must not be rude, Iwagakure is not our enemy yet." Worried that his disciples would be inflated because of his victory over Raikage, Hiruzen Sarutobi took the opportunity to teach, "Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki masters the only Kekkei Tōta among Shinobi World Dust Release, your strength cannot be underestimated, and you cannot underestimate the enemy!"
"It's a joke! Teacher!" Facing Hiruzen Sarutobi's teachings, Kizaru replied with a smile.
The fourth update is completed! Let's go have dinner!!!
