Sunagakure is also in full preparation.
This still shows a bit of the magnanimity that Five Great Shinobi Villages should have, but in contrast, Kirigakure, one of the last Five Great Shinobi Villagess across the sea, still looks calm in the face of the chaos above Shinobi World.
Unlike last year's Stone Sand War, some people within Kirigakure still expressed their opinions openly or covertly, but now Kirigakure has fallen into the darkest and chaotic period. Yes, now Kirigakure has no time to care about anything happening on the mainland.
The liquidation case of little Ninja Clan started by Fourth Mizukage last year served as a prelude. In the past year, there have been dozens of chaotic internal fights within Kirigakure. Mizukage The troops directly under suppressed and killed some blood successor families, the suspicion and fighting among the major Ninja Clans, and several assassinations against Fourth Mizukage, all pushed the civil strife in Kirigakure to a climax!
Kirigakure, which has been completely closed to the outside world, has completely entered a bloody and brutal stage at this stage, even though in the past Kirigakure originally had a "Village of the Bloody Mist" ' title, the cruelty and indifference of Kiri Ninja in the past are unparalleled among other countries, and the internal struggles are unmatched by other Four Great Nationss, but after all, they are still within a relatively 'reasonable' limit!
But now this restriction has been completely abandoned.
When Fourth Mizukage took the lead in trampling on the rules, Kirigakure completely entered the out-of-control mode. The only 'Elder Genji' who had the ability and qualifications to stop this chaos chose to remain silent for some reason!
"What did you say? Konoha is going to war with Kumogakure and Iwagakure?"
Kirigakure, Mizukage's Office.
She is still dressed as Akatsuki, wearing an orange Spiral Mask, with only one Sharingan pupil exposed. Obito stands with a numb face. Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura, who had a wooden expression and was completely reduced to a puppet, looked at Black Zetsu who appeared in front of him from the position behind him, and asked with a slightly surprised tone.
During this period of time, Obito was completely immersed in his great revenge of 'destroying Kirigakure'. Apart from the necessary contact with Nagato, he had not had any contact with Nagato for a long time. Walking on Shinobi World, and this period of time is also a period of time that Akatsuki must accumulate strength and funds. It is in their Akatsuki's best interest to be more stable.
As far as personnel recruitment is concerned, in the past year, only two or three more people have been recruited, but it is still very different from the configuration in his own plan. Obito claims to be the real BOSS behind the scenes, and he is also very concerned about Akatsuki's personnel configuration. The disaster Kirigakure also has its sights on some talents in the village.
We plan to use this method to force these people to rebel against the village. In that case, Akatsuki will have the opportunity to conquer these people. As for these rebellious people, so what? No matter Obito or Nagato, what they want is just a tool person who can help the organization realize its plan.
As long as the established plans and goals can be implemented and completed smoothly, other things are not important at all. Moreover, both of them are extremely confident and have no worries about any unexpected situations. They really feel that they can handle it.
After all, they all claim to be the gods of the new world. What else do they dare not think about or do?
Therefore, during this period of time, Obito really has not paid too much attention to the changes in the situation above Shinobi World. However, as long as there is a large number of White Zetsu groups, Obito will have no shortage of information sources anytime and anywhere.
You can ignore the small fights before, but this time Three Great Shinobi Villages is clearly going to start a war, and Sunagakure is also ready to make a move, and may trigger Fourth Shinobi World War at any time, the situation is very different.
"Yes, Iwagakure and Kumogakure each sent an army of about five thousand people to gather at the borders on the east and west sides of Land of Fire, and Five-Tails Jinchuriki and Two-Tailed Jinchuriki also showed up, and Konoha also made corresponding deployments based on the troop allocation of the two major ninja villages. The reinforcements just ahead are probably about to arrive at the border location!"
Black Zetsu responded Responded with a hoarse tone.
"Hmph, it's interesting, it's really interesting. I was still thinking about giving priority to recruiting organization members during this period, and then looking for opportunities to weaken the four major ninja villages later. I didn't expect that they would come to my door on their own initiative. This is a very good opportunity. Black Zetsu, send more immediately. I want Bai Zetsu to go to the border locations on both sides of the Land of Fire. I need further accurate information. It is best to make these three great ninja villages seriously injured again in this new round of ninja war, especially Konoha. In this way, we can lay some groundwork for us to capture the tailed beasts in the future!"
Obito said with a cold smile.
Eye of the Moon Plan, this is originally about linking up one link at a time.
Although Obito always looks very conceited, in fact he also knows that it is very difficult to rob Nine Tailed Beasts from Five Great Shinobi Villages. Nine Tailed Beasts's own power is the first obstacle, The background of Five Great Shinobi Villages is the second difficulty, because once Tailed Beast Capture Plan is turned on, even if their Akatsuki efficiency is very high, at most after catching four or five Tailed Beast, Five Great Shinobi Villages's senior management will definitely come to their senses no matter how stupid or slow their reaction is!
By that time, there is a high probability that they Akatsuki will face the joint encirclement and suppression by Five Great Shinobi Villages. Even taking into account such a development, Obito, or to be more precise, Uchiha Madara has made some targeted arrangements in advance, but the risk is still very high. This is a situation where everything is lost if you are not careful.
Therefore, while strengthening one's own strength, the most direct and effective way is to weaken Five Great Shinobi Villages as much as possible. The once most powerful Konoha declined in war after war. Now Obito plans to step on it again and let Konoha will not be able to turn around at least in the next few years, and they will try their best to suppress Kumogakure and Iwagakure, which are currently on the rise. Only in this way, when 'Eye of the Moon Plan' is officially launched one day in a few years, they can make arrangements more calmly!
Five Great Shinobi Villages The weaker you are, the smoother and easier the execution of your plan will be.
"Well, I understand. Do you need to go there in person? That Uchiha Shōji seems to have grown far beyond expectations, and is likely to become one of the key obstacles to our plans in the future!"
Black Zetsu's face that resembled a human face seemed to show a solemn and fearful look. It must be said that this person has been lurking in Shinobi World for thousands of years. He can easily fool Indra and Uchiha Madara old fox, you must know that Shōji is already strong enough in the eyes of ordinary ninjas, but if you really want to compare it vertically, Shōji still cannot be ranked in the long history of Shinobi World!
Although there is no direct evidence to clarify what kind of strength the other Four Great Shinobi Villages's First shadows are, they can calm down the troubled times and build such a huge foundation. Even if these four First shadows are indeed not as good as Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju, they will definitely be better than the current Shōji.
Those people Black Zetsu didn't take it seriously, but they showed their fear of Shōji at this moment. Although there are some factors of 'Uchiha' and 'Mangekyō Sharingan' in it, it is enough to show that Black Zetsu Not counting Obito, Uchiha still has two other pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan, and Black Zetsu doesn't care much about Shisui and Fugaku.
"Hmph, what's so scary about a mere Uchiha Shōji? The Dojutsu in his eyes is indeed very strong, but it's just like that. What's more, in the past two or three years, although it's not very frequent, at least his Dōjutsu Power has been consumed a lot. Next is the Three Kingdoms War. How much of his Dōjutsu Power will be left when our plan officially begins? Even if he has his younger brother, can that kid still activate Mangekyo? A little vigilance and attention are necessary, but you don't need to really care too much!
Obito snorted coldly and said with a very disdainful tone.
Just a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, if it is not Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, it is not enough to make Obito feel afraid at all. How serious is the Dōjutsu Power consumption of Mangekyō Sharingan, Obito is worse than any other Everyone must know that if his body had not been completely transformed long ago, and he had a different kind of Dōjutsu Power supplementary means, and if Obito used Kamui techniques as he did, that Mangekyō Sharingan would have gone blind long ago!
Sooner or later, Uchiha Shōji's eyes will go blind. At that time, he will be a Quasi-Kage-level powerhouse who is slightly stronger than Elite Jōnin. In the face of the general situation, he does not need to care at all. What's more, even if it is Shōji, Obito does not feel that he needs to be vigilant.
As Obito himself said a long time ago, there is a big difference between Mangekyo and Mangekyo. The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. If Uchiha Shōji needs to be dealt with in advance one day, Obito has full confidence in his own strength!
"Well, just be sure of yourself!"
Black Zetsu is just saying a few more words out of the caution he has been accustomed to for thousands of years. What Obito said makes sense to him. As long as it is not Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, no matter how strong Mangekyo is, there will eventually be a day when Dōjutsu Power is exhausted. This is Uchiha Shōji seems to have realized this very early and used Mangekyō Sharingan with restraint, but Dōjutsu Power is limited after all. The moment Uchiha Shōji really lost its light, it was when this Uchiha Clan genius completely fell from his peak.
The turbulent Shinobi World.
The atmosphere has become extremely cold and solemn.
When the two major countries deployed their troops at the Land of Fire border, it also interfered with the development of Land of Fire's trade to a great extent. The losses on the economic level were still secondary. The focus was on the threat to the national border, which was not an outcome that the high-level aristocratic dignitaries of Land of Fire could accept.
It can be said that almost in the shortest time, Land of Fire's capital issued an official order from the daimyo. He hoped that Konoha could resolve this situation in the shortest time possible.
The double pressure also accelerated the operation of Konohagakure's war machine. Of course, the official senior officials of Land of Fire brought not only pressure, but also full assistance in terms of war resources!
Never mind the turmoil between the daimyo and the Shadow of Ninja Village within Five Great Nations, once it rises to the level of national war, none of these daimyo will be the kind of fool who pulls back, including, who has been defeated repeatedly. Sunagakure, Daimyo of the Land of Wind are still supporting and helping Sunagakure as much as possible, because they know better than anyone else what this shinobi village in their country means to the entire country!
Especially Daimyo of the Land of Fire, he knows very well that the reason why his family is able to secure a position in this country that occupies the richest land in the entire continent and is the monarch of the strongest country is that the biggest help comes from Konohagakure!
When Shinobi World War's three victories completely pushed Konohagakure to the throne of the No. 1 Ninja Village, it also allowed Land of Fire to firmly step on other Four Great Nations and become the only hegemonic country in the world today. The strong military also made Land of Fire stand out from the crowd in terms of politics, economy, and culture, overwhelming other countries.
Therefore, as long as Konoha has a need, Daimyo of the Land of Fire has no reason not to support it. This is also one of the key factors that allows Konoha to suppress the major ninja villages repeatedly, because behind Konoha stands the largest and richest country in the entire world.
They receive comprehensive support.
Not to mention the troops that Third Hokage in Konohagakure can directly order to mobilize, dozens of the Ninja Clan, large and small, also dispatched a corresponding number of tribesmen to participate in the war as required after the high-level enlarged meeting!
Part of the Ninja Clan's strengths even involve going to the front lines to fight in person!
One is to show the attitude of their clan to a certain extent, and the other is that if they have their own leader, they can better protect their own clansmen. Of course, the interests of the village must be maintained, because it is also safeguarding their interests, but at the same time, they do not want to see their own clansmen consume too much. Shinobi World has already had many descendant families perish due to similar reasons, and war is undoubtedly the first to bear the brunt.
These Ninja Clan leaders must consider related issues, but among this large group of the Ninja Clan leaders, there is still a figure that is out of place. This figure is none other than the contemporary head of the Hyuga Clan - Hyuga Hiashi.
It can be said that since the night before, Mr. Third Hokage brought Mitokado Homura to visit late at night and then left, Hiashi has been looking a little confused since this morning, not for any other reason, just because his brother - Hizashi is dead!
That's right, it unfolds just like in the original work. Sarutobi Hiruzen, who doesn't want to see a crisis of trust in his ninja village, and doesn't want to see the Byakugan blood spilled out, after communicating with the clan elders of the Hyuga clan, came to the conclusion that his younger brother who looks similar to Hinata Hizashi, who is now a member of the estranged family, should die as a substitute.
Naturally, Hiashi was so shocked by this shocking development that he chose to reject it categorically. Although he usually didn't like to see his younger brother, he was his biological brother, Hiashi is not the kind of person who is really heartless. Just because of the clan rules, when Original Work heard that his brother was going to die in his place, Hiashi flatly refused? Such an expression of true feelings is definitely not a lie.
It's the same in this life.
But the same result is the same as in Original Work.
Hizashi finally died for Hiashi with his own determination.
Hiashi failed to stop his brother and was knocked unconscious by him. When he woke up again, it was already dawn. Hiashi, who had the last ten thousandth hope to stop him, only received news that made him feel heartbroken.
Konoha did not allow him to be handed over to Kumogakure, and Hyuga Clan could not accept the fact that the head of the clan was sent away as a 'sacrifice'. Under this so-called 'righteousness', Hiashi could only passively choose to accept it silently, but there was also a trace of deep resentment buried deep in his heart.
And this ray of resentment in Original Work will eventually fade away with time or with the changes in the current situation. However, in this life, it is unknown which path Hiashi and even the entire Hyuga Clan will be guided to take. After all, the plot in this life is already very different from that in Original Work.
The 'singularity' Uchiha Shōji has set off his own craze on the entire Shinobi World. In order to protect the people he cherishes and to achieve his goals, Shōji will definitely exhaust everything to make use of everything that is worthy and available. Of course, these are all things for later. Is Hyuga Clan now worthy of what Shōji has to do!
Value and significance are the only external measurement standards of Shōji.
His warmth is only given to his family members.
Therefore, Shōji, which was galloping all the way towards the western border of Land of Fire, with its firepower fully activated, took just over a day to return to the area where the main force of its Ninja Village gathered.
This figure was not deliberately hidden. It was discovered by Iwagakure Ninja investigators scattered in the surrounding area almost as soon as it approached the main camp.
"Ah? It's Lord Shōji!"
The moment these people saw Shōji, they all showed surprise and respect on their faces. They stepped forward to greet him, bowed slightly and shouted.
"Well, just keep on guard and send back the news of my return!"
"Yes, Lord Shōji!"
Shōji also nodded slightly and walked straight to the big tent in the core area of the main camp. As the commander-in-chief of the troops going south this time, Kitsuchi, Akatsuchi, and other key Iwagakure Ninjas all came to the big tent to welcome Shōji's return.
Among this group of people, Shōji even discovered Yashiro and Inaho from his own clan. Undoubtedly, they were the leaders of the clan sent out to join the troops going south this time.
The only important person who was not present was Five-Tails Jinchuriki-Han, which is also a relatively common thing.
"Haha, Mr. Shōji, welcome back, you've had a hard journey!"
Kitsuchi met the group of people head-on. Shōji also accelerated his pace slightly and came to Kitsuchi. He stretched out his hands in advance and held them tightly with Kitsuchi.
"No, Kitsuchi is too polite!"
Shōji still smiled Responded with a hint of respect.
"Come in first, this time we are about to hold the next strategic meeting, and there are corresponding orders coming from Lord Tsuchikage!"
After a brief greeting.
Just go directly to the topic.
"Yes, I also have corresponding information that needs to be reported to Kitsuchi!"
Shōji also said seriously.
"Then come in and talk!"
After opening the curtain of the big tent and entering a group of people in the inner area, Shōji also shared a series of information he learned before leaving Konoha with the most concise words to the Kitsuchi and Akatsuchi group present. The focus was on Konohagakure's troop deployment for the east and west defense lines!
When they heard from Shōji that the reinforcements sent to the western front by Konoha at the beginning were up to 5,000 people, and that there would be further mobilization in the future, Kitsuchi's expressions changed slightly. Later, when they heard that the reinforcements sent to the eastern defense line might not even be 2,000 people, Kitsuchi's brows frowned.
"Shōji-kun, can you be sure that the Konoha reinforcements sent to the northeastern area of Land of Fire are not even 2,000 strong?"
Kitsuchi looked at Shōji opposite him with a solemn expression and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Shōji nodded and said, "Moreover, Konoha also decided to get rid of Land of Fire's territorial demands and almost fully agreed to the remaining demands made by Kumogakure in exchange for Kumogakure's withdrawal!"
Seeing Kitsuchi's expression, Shōji naturally understood what his son, Tsuchikage, was thinking about, and he spoke these words without any hesitation at that moment.
This piece of information was not something that Shōji had guessed by referring to Original Work. You must know that now that the plot has changed greatly, it is difficult for Shōji to be really sure that everything will still be carried out referring to Original Work.
Even if the probability is really high.
But uncertainty remains.
This is why Shōji stayed with Konoha for two or three days even when the Three Kingdoms were clearly in conflict, in order to further detect this information. Konoha's attitude towards Kumogakure directly determined their Iwagakure's next action choice!
With the current strength of Shōji, as long as you don't plan to go deep into some areas with special barriers in Konohagakure, it can almost be said that you are in a deserted land!
There is no doubt that Konoha has chosen an attitude that will make Iwagakure relatively uncomfortable and Kumogakure the most delighted!
Shōji was also trying to find out this point. When he saw Konoha's reinforcements starting to take action, he decisively chose to retreat, because the next time they Iwagakure should take action.
He must return to the area where his army is in the shortest possible time!
