The fat in your mouth cannot be spit out easily.
Even if we don't mention that the 'Lanthanum Metal' in Land of Wind's area that Northern Fortress can radiate is a must for Iwagakure, the strategic value of Northern Fortress itself is enough for Iwagakure to make up his mind to swallow this piece of victory.
But this is not only about Sunagakure's response, but also about Kumogakure and Konoha's response, because this time their Iwagakure target is not only the Northern Fortress, but also the ownership of a nearby piece of land. In other words, Iwagakure does not need to expand the scale of the war, or it can stop the war, but it must make Sunagakure admit defeat, and then force him and Land of Wind to agree to cede that piece of land to Iwagakure or Land of Earth!
When it comes to a clause of the nature of 'ceding land', even if the area is less than one percent of Land of Wind, the nature is here. It is not difficult to predict the reaction of Sunagakure or even Daimyo of the Land of Wind and its high-ranking nobles and dignitaries.
It is even a huge unknown whether Konoha and Kumogakure will sit back and watch this. Therefore, in the case of gaining huge advantages and victory, Ōnoki has further strengthened the alert of its own ninja village, especially the defense force of the long eastern border, not only in advance The dispatched Five-Tails Jinchuriki-Han and the thousands of Iwagakure Ninja and Ōnoki he led also further mobilized a second batch of forces in the village, preparing to jump in immediately once they see any changes in the border forces of Konoha and Kumogakure!
The balance of border forces cannot be broken.
It is even more impossible for my family to accept the threats of these ninja villages and spit out the benefits. This is the bottom line deep in Ōnoki's heart.
As for the rest, we can all talk about it. For example, as long as our family pretends to go to war, won't Sunagakure still panic?
Ōnoki stood in his Tsuchikage Office, looking far south to where Sunagakure was, with a faint cold color in his slightly cloudy pupils.
Those in power should always plan for the overall situation, rather than just looking at one-sided gains and losses. For Ōnoki and Iwagakure, the overall strategic goal this time is actually for 'Chakra Armor' and Snow Country's side has made some arrangements in advance, and attacking Sunagakure is just incidental. As long as the main goal can be achieved, in three to five years, their Iwagakure's strength will usher in a transformation!
This is the core.
This is the goal that Ohnoki wants to achieve in Iwagakure Village.
Sunagakure obviously doesn't know this. Although Rasa is slightly lower than the other four shadows, it can still be said to be the most outstanding one among Shinobi World., but due to the insufficient amount of intelligence and the impact of the rapid change of the situation, it is difficult for Rasa to see through some of the essence. It is impossible for him to be so sure that Iwagakure has no intention of launching a full-scale war.
You are passive.
People are proactive.
As long as Iwagakure assumes an aggressive posture, Sunagakure must predict and arrange according to the worst situation. This is also the most helpless point of Rasa. Therefore, even if it affects the subsequent development and arrangements of Sunagakure, Rasa can only passively mobilize all the power of his ninja village.
Northern Fortress has been broken through. If the next line of defense is still pushed forward layer by layer, let alone the double pressure from his own ninja village and Daimyo of the Land of Wind, Rasa cannot easily withstand it!
Even if you bite the bullet and pay some losses, you must stabilize the defense line in the area where Northern Fortress passes south. This is also the order Rasa re-deployed personnel to the front line and then gave it to Baki!
other countries.
When they saw Iwagakure and Sunagakure suddenly going to war, especially when Iwagakure was so violent, everyone became alert. The most directly affected countries were Land of Grass, Land of Rivers, and Rain Country, which each had certain contacts with the two major countries.
The previous three Shinobi World War are all bloody lessons. If this is a sign of Fourth Shinobi World War, these small countries must also make corresponding preparations in advance. Even if they cannot avoid the core invasion, it is at least better than nothing, right?
Compared with these small countries.
The most important thing of course is to see the reactions of Konoha and Kumogakure.
However, leaving aside Konoha for the moment, Kumogakure's attack on Sunagakure against Iwagakure and the direct capture of Sunagakure's Northern Fortress, which had the highest defense strength, was extremely ambiguous. Not only did Iwagakure not make any unnecessary remarks.
Instead, they strengthened the border forces on the front line of Land of Hot Springs near the Land of Fire area. The appearance of being ready to move also directly aroused the vigilance of the garrison personnel deployed by Konoha in the front line position. You must know that the small friction and collision between the two major ninja villages had just ended for three or four months. In the past, they had been fighting in Land of Hot Springs for half a year.
Any slightest disturbance will attract the attention of both parties!
Although the Konoha person in charge of the border guard is not the previous one, and Nara Suzaku was also recalled in advance, the one who can be trusted by Sarutobi Hiruzen and placed in the frontline position is the experienced Jōnin from Konohagakure who has both strength and means.
"Quick! Pass this information back to the village immediately!"
"Yes!"
This required important information to be delivered back to the village as quickly as possible.
Konohagakure far away in the inland area of Land of Fire.
Konoha F4 gathered again. This time, among the people present, not only the four Sarutobi Hiruzen, but also Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi The two of them can be regarded as the leaders of Nara and Yamanaka Clan who hold an important position among Konoha and many Ninja Clan.
These two people are also deeply trusted by Sarutobi Hiruzen. It can be said that they are one of the few wealthy Ninja Clans in Konohagakure. Apart from their own Sarutobi Clan, this Third Hokage can be trusted by the Ninja Clan.
Of course, the reason why the two of them appear here at this moment is because they are considered to be one of the most outstanding beings among the younger generation.
"Hmph! We must send troops and immediately interfere with Iwagakure's actions. Sunagakure has already taken the initiative to move closer to us. This time Iwagakure takes the initiative to attack Sunagakure. It is us Konoha's best opportunity, as long as he seizes this opportunity, he will definitely be able to severely damage Iwagakure. You must know that not only Sunagakure, but also Kumogakure and Iwagakure have a mortal enemy!"
It was still the same Shimura Danzō, almost right after everyone gathered.
Without waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen to say something first.
This Shadow of Konoha said with a sinister expression.
For Shinobi World, any village that can threaten Konoha is regarded as an enemy by Danzo. The threat coefficient of Iwagakure is not lower than Kumogakure.
Now there is even the matter of receiving Uchiha Clan.
Don't mess with him!
That's not Danzo's style!
Danzo's hatred for the Uchiha clan is stronger and stronger than anyone else!
