PS: This is really a huge amount of love. I really didn't expect that there would be a reward from the leader, which makes me sincerely frightened and extremely grateful. Car on the Skyscraper leader will reward you with 100,000 coins, and I will give you more even if I grit my teeth! Five chapters have been added for the alliance leader. Two chapters will be added today, and the remaining three chapters will be added slowly in the next few days. I bow again to thank the alliance leader for the big reward!
The ideal is very full.
But reality is always the toughest. Although at the meeting, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Nara Shikaku, Shimura Danzō and others did predict Kumogakure's movements, but I really didn't expect that Fourth Raikage would be so obsessed with Land of Fire and Konoha. Logically speaking, now is the best time to suppress Iwagakure together.
Why doesn't this Fourth Raikage act according to common sense?
But in fact, this is just the unilateral wishful thinking of Sarutobi Hiruzen and other Konoha. From the perspective of Kumogakure, Iwagakure and Sunagakure The start of the war with is the best time for their Kumogakure to attack Konoha. Without the involvement of the two major ninja villages, the intelligence of the past investigation has even revealed that The fact that Kirigakure is in civil strife would be the stupidest thing to do if you don't fight with Konoha at this time. Compared with Land of Earth and Iwagakure, Land of Fire and Konoha are the real fat guys. Moreover, the guards stationed in their village on the western border of the country can easily detect Iwagakure's undisguised increase in force!
Even Five-Tails Jinchuriki appeared at the border.
God knows where Four-Tails Jinchuriki will be hiding together?
In comparison, Konoha has just experienced Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack, and has a probability of more than 90% that it will not be able to use Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. From this perspective, if the two major ninja villages start a war, their Kumogakure must have the upper hand!
Relatively speaking, Land of Fire is easier to bully, the benefits are generous enough, and your mouth will be full of oil after just one bite. Who should you choose? This is a choice that even a fool can make!
This is not just the opinion of Fourth Raikage alone, but also includes several other elders, as well as Dodai and others below, the backbone and senior leaders Kumo Ninja all have the same opinion.
Of course, there is a bottom line for their actions this time, to force Konoha to leave the Land of Hot Springs area, and to include the entire Land of Hot Springs into the subsidiary category of Land of Lightning. In this case, Kumogakure can completely overlook and suppress Konoha. Another bottom line is that Iwagakure cannot really defeat Sunagakure. This situation is the best at present.
Both sides involve each other.
It is in the best interest of Kumogakure not to let Sunagakure collapse further.
Otherwise, if Iwagakure really becomes big, Fourth Raikage will also feel frustrated because of this.
This is why when the Kumo Ninja army invaded.
Two-Tailed Jinchuriki Yugito and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B in the Ninja Village are also on standby, and Kumogakure will not be there easily. They will put it on the battlefield, one is to leave a certain amount of leeway (they don't think they can kill Konoha with one stick, that is simply a fantasy), and the other is to use it to defend against Iwagakure.
It can be said that the characters in Five Great Shinobi Villages are all old foxes with their own agendas. They are all old enemies who have been fighting with each other for forty or fifty years. Who doesn't know their own position and some details about their opponents?
Anyway, this is the strategic policy that Kumogakure has always implemented to the end, or it is a more appropriate concept.
It's just that such a strategic plan puts Konoha in a dilemma. The other side has just dispatched vanguard troops to strengthen the forces on the northwest border, and news of Kumogakure's coercion has come here. Konoha has no choice but to turn around.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzō and others were really in an extremely bad mood.
Compared to the people of Konoha.
The saddest one must belong to Sunagakure, and the one in the worst mood must be Rasa, Fourth Kazekage, because neither Kumogakure nor Konoha can give If Iwagakure exerts pressure and instead fights each other, it means that Sunagakure must bear the pressure brought by Iwagakure alone. This is a situation that Rasa absolutely does not want to see.
Of course, Rasa didn't know this at this time, but even so, when he learned that Iwagakure's backup force, which was the real main force led by Kitsuchi, and nearly two thousand Iwagakure Ninja troops had arrived, Fourth Kazekage's expression became visibly gloomy!
Because in this way, before the merger, there were Iwagakure Ninja troops in Northern Fortress, and now the number of Iwagakure Ninja troops deployed by Iwagakure in the border area exceeds three thousand!
Uchiha Shōji has already shown terrifying strength that far exceeds the rumors.
Kitsuchi belongs to the same generation as him, and he is a famous strong man in Third Shinobi World War. No one alone has much chance of winning, let alone two people together. It can be said that at this moment, Rasa is the real Alexander!
To put it harshly, Kitsuchi+Shōji+more than three thousand Iwagakure Ninja elites, they Sunagakure must at least be led by him Rasa himself, and he must recruit five thousand Only the Sunagakure Ninja troops can be on par with the opponent. It would be better if One-Tail Jinchuriki can be put into the battlefield. Otherwise, they must ensure a combat power competition of close to 2 to 1 in terms of numbers. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them Sunagakure Ninja to maintain a balance in the battle!
But with Sunagakure's current situation, the five thousand ninjas already occupy 60 to 70% of the remaining forces that Sunagakure can mobilize, except for a part of the defensive force that cannot be mobilized!
It will also put great pressure on the logistics of their own ninja village.
Under the double suppression, Sunagakure will really be out of breath, but Rasa has no choice. While immediately deploying corresponding reinforcements to the frontline position, he must also quickly contact Daimyo of the Land of Wind to let the country add more supplies and Support some supplies, otherwise we will just rely on the current Sunagakure. Even if we maintain a stalemate and are not defeated by the opponent, we can drag Sunagakure to death. After all, no matter how strong the ninja is, he is still a human being, and he must have physiological needs such as eating, drinking, and defecation!
And in addition, Rasa is also ready to go to the front line at any time.
While Ebizo and Chiyo are still doing nothing, there is no second 'Kage Level' or even 'Quasi-Kage level' strong man in the village. When necessary, Rasa will definitely go to the battlefield bravely. Only in this way can the stability of the situation be ensured!
It must be said that the pressure Sunagakure will bear this time is definitely not much easier than when Third Kazekage was forced to take the initiative to set off Third Shinobi World War after Third Kazekage disappeared inexplicably.
Compared to Sunagakure's sadness and discomfort.
Iwagakure is really at ease, not to mention Ōnoki who can wait for the result leisurely in the Ninja Village.
Even Kitsuchi, who had arrived at the front line, looked relaxed.
Because they themselves did not expect that they could capture Sunagakure Northern Fortress so smoothly at the beginning, which made the Iwagakure Ninja army coming from behind to support them seem like they were on an outing.
But faced with such a result.
Kitsuchi is the most happy to see.
We can pick the fruits of victory in the shortest time and at the smallest cost. Isn't this the best result?
