Don't look at Third Shinobi World War. The main force of Iwagakure is fighting to the death with Kumogakure. In addition to the necessary border and village defense forces, a full 10,000 Iwagakure Ninja, who accounted for more than 780% of the village's combat strength, were mobilized to besiege Third Raikage A. But in fact, this After so many years, Konoha and Sunagakure have the most frequent wars with Iwagakure. The former is almost the public enemy of Shinobi World. You may not have fought with other Four Great Shinobi Villages, but you absolutely must not have fought with Konoha!
Iwagakure is naturally no exception. The first time, the second time, Third Shinobi World War, and the local wars in between. The gap between Iwagakure and Konoha is equally deep. This is Shinobi World's "public hatred"!
Konoha is like this, but Sunagakure is a bit special. The reason why Iwagakure has repeatedly invaded Sunagakure from the south, to put it bluntly, is that since each First After the death of due to different reasons, Sunagakure has been declining all the way, and has directly become the weakest and last among Five Great Shinobi Villages. You must pick the weak ones!
What's more, no matter how poor Land of Wind is, there are still many precious metal minerals in the northern region. If you win this area, you can still reap considerable profits!
In Third Shinobi World War, if it weren't for an accident that forced Iwagakure and Kumogakure to fight, Ōnoki's target would have always been Sunagakure and Konoha, especially after Sunagakure was defeated by Konoha in the front, the Iwagakure army began to gather and almost went south!
Later, it was really Kumogakure who saved Sunagakure's life.
Otherwise, tens of thousands of Iwagakure Ninja will go south directly, and Sunagakure will have to shed a layer of skin even if they don't die!
Therefore, normally, once Iwagakure wants to launch a war, the first choice is most likely Sunagakure, but now the situation is a little different. Kumogakure has formed a deadly feud with their Iwagakure in Third Shinobi World War, Konohagakure suffered heavy losses due to the incident of the Uchiha Clan. Although it is not a serious loss of vitality, the separation of hundreds of the Uchiha Clan's strongest combat forces and the loss of hundreds more people are already a very 'considerable' loss. According to common sense, it should indeed be the biggest reason and best time to launch a war!
In Original Work, Uchiha Clan was destroyed. There is no detailed explanation as to why no war broke out in Shinobi World. In this life, it was because Iwagakure was too powerful that both Kumogakure and Sunagakure voted. Even if Fourth Raikage had ulterior motives, he had to suppress the rat weapon, otherwise Kumogakure's army would have gone south to fight against Land of Fire. Even so, Kumogakure's ninja army has still been somewhat ready to move in recent months.
Land of Fire The entire Northeastern Border has enhanced defense by several levels. It is even more tense and exciting than the local collisions in the previous six months. The reason is Uchiha Clan!
This is indeed a good opportunity for them Iwagakure to take the initiative, and the two words Ōnoki's "go south" also mean that Kumogakure has to put it aside for the time being, but what specific target is it?
The probabilities of Konoha and Sunagakure are equally high.
"Lord Tsuchikage, please forgive me for being rude, but it seems that now is not the best time to launch a full-scale war? Kumogakure and Konoha are still in a confrontation, and there are some problems in our village that have not been completely resolved. Now it involves the arrangements on Snow Country's side. In my opinion, it is better to wait for a while, right?"
Some people agree, and naturally some people will object. Although Ōnoki has a very high prestige in Iwagakure, it does not mean to speak out. It still respects the right to speak of some people who have seniority or have made great contributions to the village.
The person speaking now is Iwagakure, whose qualifications are only lower than those of Ido. It is Jōnin-Flame Stone, the person in charge of Sealing Corps in Iwagakure.
Although the words he said are not all stated in detail, everyone here is a smart person, and almost all of them can tell that the underlying meaning of Flame Stone's words is to see whether Kumogakure will take the initiative to attack Konoha first. In addition, It is a subtle point that Uchiha Clan has only been joining their Iwagakure for a little more than three months, and the running-in period has not passed. If they are so eager to start a war, whether the opponent is Konoha or Sunagakure, it seems that it is not the best choice.
Flame Stone was not the only senior executive of Iwagakure Ninja who held this view. After his words fell, three or four other people on the side nodded in agreement.
"I have considered this point, Flame Stone, you don't need to worry. This time I am not planning to start a full-scale war, but a local battle. The target is the fortress built by Sunagakure in the northern area. This is also closely related to Chakra Armor in the previous plan. The previous land resource allocation Charlie, the special metal 'lanthanum' we need to make Chakra Armor is a very rare rare metal in our Land of Earth range. However, in the northern area of Land of Wind, there is a large area of this metal mine. In order to reduce costs, we must capture that area!"
"And Northern Fortress of Land of Wind is the core!"
Ōnoki said in a deep voice with a sharp look in his pupils.
During the decades since Five Great Shinobi Villages was established, the Civil War between Iwagakure and Sunagakure was almost concentrated in Sunagakure's Northern Fortress. Because of its slightly weak strength, Sunagakure Ninja never had the ability or courage to invade Land of Earth.
Iwagakure was also limited by various reasons and was unable to go south with all its strength. The war was almost concentrated in Northern Fortress of Sunagakure. Over the past few decades, the number of Iwagakure Ninja who died on Northern Fortress must have been two to three thousand. Of course, Sunagakure's losses were equally heavy.
Ōnoki has wanted to pull out this nail for a long time. Over the years, opportunities have always been missed due to one reason or another. Now Chakra Armor happens to be the reason. Pulling out Northern Fortress of Sunagakure can be directly put on the main agenda of Iwagakure!
"Sunagakure?"
"Northern Fortress?"
"Is this indeed possible? It just so happens that Sunagakure seems to have not recovered well in these years!"
"Yeah! The risk is acceptable, and it's a win-win situation."
"The only thing that needs to be considered is the reaction of Konoha and Kumogakure."
"But the war is limited to Northern Fortress, and Konoha and Kumogakure are actually confronting each other. This is indeed a very good opportunity!"
When the Iwagakure Ninjas below, including Flame Stone and others who had some objections before, heard Ōnoki's words, they all lowered their heads and pondered.
If all-out war still needs to be weighed, local wars are indeed within the scope of HOLD for the current Iwagakure. As long as Northern Fortress's Sunagakure Ninja garrison is defeated, and then a wave of counterattacks can be withstood, victory can basically be guaranteed. As long as one's own side is not greedy and has no intention of further expanding the war.
With Sunagakure's current level of decline, the probability of him breaking the bloody teeth and swallowing them is extremely high, and it would be difficult for Kumogakure and Konoha to respond in time.
