"Well, there is also news on Kumo Ninja's side. Arai and Ogata will be left to the two of you to deal with. Be sure to pay close attention to what Kumo Ninja will do next. Every move, especially at Mount Fengzui, is a very big difference whether Konoha surrendered it on his own initiative or Kumo Ninja took it by force!"
Ōnoki turned to look at Arai and Ogata and said.
"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage!"
"By the way, there is also the matter about Hizashi Hyuga, the person who separated from the Hyuga Clan, and the pair of Byakugan given away by Konoha, so that the lurking Kumogakure The personnel in E will see if they can collect further information, and if possible, try to seize or destroy the bodies of Byakugan and Hizashi, do you understand?"
Ōnoki seemed to have thought of something again. After a pause, he said this again in a very serious tone.
Arai and Ogata also felt solemn in their hearts, saying Responded in a deep voice, "Yes!"
It is already very difficult to have Byakugan Kekkei Genkai with a Konoha. There is only one Byakugan in Kirigakure. If even Kumogakure can obtain Byakugan Kekkei Genkai, it will even have the ability to further develop If it develops, it is definitely not good news for Iwagakure. Although among the three Dojutsus Shinobi World, Sharingan has always suppressed Byakugan at more than one end, but that is the difference between people, not the difference between eyes!
At this point, Ōnoki has a very clear view. Uchiha is strong because people are strong. If we don't talk about the very rare Mangekyō Sharingan, just Tomoe Sharingan is not necessarily stronger than Byakugan, and when it comes to the large-scale legion-level war in Ninja Village, Byakugan is far more powerful than Sharingan!
Ōnoki doesn't want to face two enemies with 'see-through hooks' in the border area of his home in the future!
Therefore, it is also one of the important tasks to find some ways to obtain or destroy the pair of Kumogakure and Byakugan as much as possible. This is also to prevent Kumogakure from further strengthening its own power!
Although the difficulty level is hellish, it is still necessary to give it a try anyway and at least get some more information! Even if they pay some price, aren't the spies sent by each village to other ninja villages just for these tasks?
Others also feel that the arrangement of their own Lord Tsuchikage is necessary, including Shōji, who is also very interested in the completely different plot unfolding in Original Work. He is really curious about what Fourth Raikage will do with the extra pair of Byakugan that Kumogakure received.
Is it for your own use? Or as a precious research material, let's see if we can use it to directly reproduce the blood successor of the Hyuga Clan.
However, the difficulty of the latter is obviously as high as the sky. If the bloodline and blood successor of a clan could be reproduced so easily, the entire Shinobi World would have been Byakugan and Sharingan all over the place. As for the former.
Byakugan is indeed Dojutsu that is very compatible with Taijutsu. Nintaijutsu of previous Raikage will definitely become stronger with the blessing of Byakugan One thing, but really speaking, even if Fourth Raikage transplanted the pair of Byakugan to himself, he would never really become much stronger. Compared with Fourth Raikage and his father Third Raikage, the gap is still very obvious.
If that Third Raikage is transplanted into that pair of Byakugan, and can fully exert the effect of Byakugan without any side effects, it is indeed very scary. It is even said that there is a high probability that Third Raikage in that mode can completely overpower Eight-Tails, Six Paths of Pain, Sage Mode's Jiraiya will most likely not be his opponent, because they have a strong foundation and their own strength is at the Super Kage level, and Fourth Raikage pales in comparison. It is definitely possible to become stronger, but it will definitely not reach the Super Kage level. Of course, these are still Shōji's own guesses.
What will happen specifically will be known only after the confrontation in person.
'If he really transplants the pair of Byakugan to himself, he really wants to try the strength of this Fourth Raikage! '
Shōji Such a thought flashed in the depths of his mind, but then he shook his head slightly and invisibly.
It's better not to think about these things. The most important thing is to seize the time to solve your eye problems!
Shōji gently touched the corners of his eyes, thinking silently in his heart.
Since opening Mangekyō Sharingan, Shōji himself has been avoiding the situation of using Mangekyō Sharingan on a large scale, but after all, there were two times when he had to consume a lot of his Dōjutsu Power. One was the battle of a clan leaving the village, and the other was with this This war, two high-intensity battles, consumed at least half of Shōji's Dōjutsu Power. Although there is no very clear data, from Shōji's own judgment, at most, two more confrontations of similar intensity will make him blind!
I still have no idea how to turn on Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Not to mention that his brother is still so young, even if he is older, he can still activate Mangekyo. Can Shōji really be so cruel to take away his brother's eyes? This is obviously impossible, so we still need to place our hope on Wood Release cells from First Hokage!
Refer to the situation of Uchiha Obito in Original Work.
If it doesn't work, I can only forcefully integrate Wood Release cells into my body. Of course, this is the final resort. God knows if doing so will directly kill me. The best way is to try and refine it bit by bit to see if I can use this First Hokage's Wood Release cells creates a special energy that can supplement Dōjutsu Power, but if you really can't do this before your eyes are completely blind, then you can only be a dead horse!
'It's better to speed up the pace, whether it's the village, the clan, or myself! '
The time left seems to be plenty, but in fact there are many problems that you need to face and solve one by one.
"Then, disband!"
"Yes!"
While Shōji was slightly distracted thinking about his own problems, Ōnoki also made some other configurations and arrangements based on the current situation of his own Ninja Village. Finally, after confirming some important information with other Iwagakure Ninja, he also directly announced the adjournment of the meeting.
After the plan was decided, the next step was to take action separately. As Iwagakure Ninja and Konoha further restrained and contracted, the tension in the border area from Land of Grass to Land of Fire also eased a lot. Only some sporadic reconnaissance confrontations remained, and the main forces of the two ninja villages all entered the repair mode.
Konoha Although the side cannot be said to be completely relieved yet, the main personnel deployed in the front line cannot be replaced too much, but they can easily arrange to escort the wounded back to the village in an orderly manner to recuperate.
In addition, the ninjas who are first in the front line position and have to fight for a longer period of time than the companions who are reinforced later can be temporarily removed from the front line. On the one hand, these personnel can get sufficient rest, and on the other hand, the logistics pressure can be slightly relieved.
The remaining main personnel can completely withstand it, not to mention that Mount Wuyuan Base has been recaptured. If it doesn't work, there are still garrison troops stationed on the border between the wind and fire countries in the southern region that can be removed. During this period, Konoha has no need to worry about. Sunagakure Ninja problem, even if it is Rasa, or even Sunagakure's top management, all the brains are convulsed, and their hearts are crossed. If they want to take action, they must also take action against Iwagakure, to recapture their Sunagakure's Northern Fortress.
It is absolutely impossible to take action against Konoha.
And now Iwagakure and Konohagakure's war mode that has been temporarily stopped has also deterred Sunagakure to a certain extent. As the two major ninja villages Western Front The nearest big country, Sunagakure will definitely be the ninja village that receives first-hand information. It can be said that Rasa's previous series of small actions and small thoughts were completely wiped out in front of this scene.
Iwagakure did not suffer further heavy damage.
The frontline troops still retained 70% to 80% integrity, and the Iwagakure Ninja regiment stationed in the fortress built by the Ninja Village showed no signs of mobilization. Rasa, who had a thief but no courage, could only sulk secretly.
This also includes the fact that Boro, the leader of Kusagakure, was like sitting on wax during this period. He finally saw a little light, and then he was not killed by Iwagakure Ninja, but was actively extinguished by Konoha, who had brought hope before. Boro simply could not use ordinary words to describe his uncomfortable mood at this moment!
Boro was not afraid for a moment, and wanted to attack Iwagakure Ninja directly from behind, but the moment this thought came up, his face tightened, and he shook his head vigorously and drove it out of his mind, not to mention their Kusagakure's strength. Short of this, even if a miracle happens and a meteorite falls from the sky to help Kusagakure kill the blockbuster Iwagakure Ninja, as long as they Kusagakure dare to take action, the ensuing Iwagakure revenge will not be something Kusagakure can bear.
Therefore, the leader of Kusagakure, who is more than ten times more passive than Rasa, can only really hope that Konoha can re-enter the territory of Land of Grass. As long as the two major countries re-form a delicate balance in this area, they Kusagakure can regain a certain degree of autonomy as before.
At least it won't be so frustrating, right?
Unfortunately, the further calming down of the two major ninja villages completely made Boro feel desperate. At this moment, he began to be really worried. If Land of Grass really fell into the control of Iwagakure, where would they Kusagakure go?
Resistance is a dead end. If you don't resist, you will be completely reduced to a vassal state of Iwagakure, and you will never have the opportunity to become stronger. This is an unacceptable situation for Boro, who has great ambitions.
Unlike Sunagakure who could still take one step back, Kusagakure would fall into the abyss if he took one more step back. However, even so, Boro still couldn't come up with any effective solution and could only take one step at a time.
Regarding the attitudes of the two neighbors in their own Ninja Village, Ōnoki, Kitsuchi, Shōji and others also have different attitudes. The former Sunagakure will pay a certain degree of attention to it. After all, it is a person who can mobilize tens of thousands of troops and has a Kage Level It is impossible for the E combat power and the Ninja Village of a Tailed Beast not to really care at all, but Kusagakure is different. In this war, one of the most fundamental goals of Iwagakure is to completely bring Kusagakure into the sphere of influence of his own Ninja Village!
Let Land of Grass completely become the front line owned by the Ninja Village alone, and let Kusagakure completely become an additional human resources supply point that obeys their orders.
Ōnoki It is impossible for them to let Kusagakure go, and they will not give Kusagakure any chance. In the current situation where Shinobi World structure has undergone tremendous changes, the only result for Kusagakure is to become Iwagakure's vassal. Other than that, there is no other choice.
Even if Boro makes up his mind to completely fall to Konoha's side, it will still be useless.
What's more, ninety-nine percent of the time, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, Konoha, will not accept the surrender of Kusagakure under this situation. If Land of Grass can regain tranquility and peace, Third Hokage won't even blink. Anyway, in his opinion, even if Land of Grass completely falls into the hands of Iwagakure, it will not harm the core interests of his own village and Land of Fire. There is no need to compete with Iwagakure for this!
In the same way, Land of Hot Springs and Third Hokage also chose the strategy of concession and retreat. Just as this side had just reached an armistice agreement with Iwagakure, the other side received news from Mount Fengzui's base Suzaku and Inoichi, After Third Hokage thought about it for a moment, he actually ordered Suzaku and Inoichi to lead all the Konoha garrison troops along the Mount Fengzui border to retreat to the Land of Fire border stronghold, handing over the entire Land of Hot Springs!
It has to be said that in a sense, Sarutobi Hiruzen can be regarded as a leader with great courage. The national border buffer zone gives way at any time, and it is not a remote country. To put it bluntly, Land of Hot Springs and Land of Grass are richer and more needy than Land of Wind. The latter really relies on his own body. A big country that has been supported by force, Sunagakure can still become one of Five Great Nations in such an environment, and First Kazekage is really worthy of praise. Of course, the reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen gave up the interests of the two big countries in this way is indeed because Land of Fire is too prosperous and really does not care about the interests of these small countries.
As for the specific issue of border stability, Sarutobi Hiruzen is not so stupid that he is so short-sighted that he cannot see it at all. In fact, it is due to personal character and governance philosophy that the appearance of Shinobi Hero in his early years has been completely wiped out.
The current Third Hokage has a "stubborn and conservative" heart that is enough to ensure the stability of his own ninja village. For this reason, as long as it does not involve the core interests of the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen can really give up anything.
And Sarutobi Hiruzen's approach of making a proper concession once again really puts the Kumogakure side in a bit of a dilemma. Although in national-level communication, things like face and reason appear to be very false, and only interests are eternal, but it does not mean that all these things in the former can be discarded.
In some cases, righteousness is still very important. Previously, the Kumogakure side insisted on the death of the deputy leader of their mission, making Konoha bear the blame for destroying the peace. Now they seem to have a very good attitude towards admitting their mistakes.
Not only did they kill the culprit 'Hyuga Hiashi' to make amends, but they also completely withdrew from the Land of Hot Springs field. They also compensated interests in various aspects to varying degrees, showing all the sincerity that should be shown.
Kumogakure If you are still aggressive, it is morally untenable!
Of course, the impact of this is that most people will be helpless. Fourth Raikage A does not accept this trick. What really makes it a little difficult is that all members of the Konoha garrison retreated to the Land of Fire border area. This not only completely shortened the logistics line, but also greatly improved safety. In addition, it also allowed the forces to be further integrated!
And the most critical point is that the messengers sent out to further communicate with Iwagakure Ninja, the news they received back was not good at all. They did not say no to fighting, but their posture was obviously waiting for them, Kumo Ninja, to attack first.
This made Fourth Raikage secretly curse Ōnoki, this old immortal thing is really insidious, and at the same time he also felt a little regretful, why Iwagakure Ninja had held back half of Konoha's strength before, and then While Konoha's defense forces were relatively scattered in the northeastern border, he did not take the initiative to attack. In that case, it was very possible that he could defeat them one by one and directly sweep the entire Land of Fire northeastern region. Now the best opportunity has been lost.
Of course, Fourth Raikage A will not think that the problem is on his own side, and completely ignores that he has already obtained a lot of benefits before, and will only abuse Iwagakure's side!
But the matter has come to this, unless Fourth Raikage can be ruthless and directly raid the border of Konoha, then the winning rate is indeed not low, but considering Konoha's subsequent response and Iwagakure's very ambiguous attitude.
Under another advice from his own staff officer Dodai.
Fourth Raikage could only choose to accept the proposal of Konoha to continue the previous peace negotiations after being "incompetent and furious".
"Hmph, this time we will come here first. Konoha and Iwagakure's group of souls are waiting for me, Raikage!"
Fourth Raikage A punched the newly replaced desk hard.
"Bang!"
"Crack!"
When the tabletop shattered, Fourth Raikage's extremely angry words also fell.
According to the attitudes expressed by each, the negotiation has been restarted again. The location is still placed in Konohagakure, and this time the delegation leaders sent by Iwagakure and Kumogakure have also changed differently.
Kumogakure directly sent Dodai as the leader of the mission. Iwagakure here, Ōnoki sent Kitsuchi and Shōji as the leader and deputy leader to Konohagakure, at first Ōnoki was actually unwilling to let Shōji go to Konoha, but wanted Akatsuchi or Arai to follow Kitsuchi.
The main reason is that Shimura Danzō's unconventional behavior made Ōnoki wonder if Uchiha Clan really attracted so much hatred from Konoha High Command, and he couldn't even hate it. He had to violate the public order of Shinobi World and attack the mission personnel directly. Although the probability of a second attack was infinitely low, considering the safety issue, Ōnoki would of course exclude Shōji from the mission list.
But in the end Shōji himself proposed to go to Konoha, and he convinced Ōnoki with just a few words.
The core is only two words 'Hyūga'!
That's right, this time we return to Konohagakure. Shōji will continue to cause trouble, and the target is set in the Hyuga Clan. This is a plan that will not lose money if it fails, but makes money if it succeeds. If you can't get things on the battlefield for the time being, you can make up for it in other ways in private.
Of course, Shōji is well aware of the difficulty of this plan.
This not only refers to the extra attention Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō paid to this aspect after the Uchiha Clan left Konoha, but also refers to the Hyuga Clan himself. Body, if this clan really had a lot of backbone, Original Work would not have made such a decision in this life or in this life. Some people may say that it is not because Hyuga Clan is not as strong as Uchiha!
But this reason is simply untenable, because the reason why Hyuga Clan has weakened to this extent is because of his own doing.
Uchiha Clan is a descendant of Sage of Six Paths. Isn't Hyuga Clan a descendant of Ōtsutsuki Hamura?
Even though Hamura is slightly worse than Hagoromo, they are both the biological sons of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, so there is logically no difference in terms of blood!
And the Tenseigan that Hamura opened by itself is also comparable to Rinnegan!
What's more, Kaguya's own pair of original eyes are Byakugan!
This is enough to prove that in terms of blood, Hyuga Clan will not lose to the Uchiha Clan at all. It is not that the eyes are not good, but that the descendants are not good. It is no wonder that for thousands of years, no one from the Hyuga Clan has opened Tenseigan, there is a saying that even the descendants of Hamura on the moon are not very good, but at least people can open Tenseigan, which is much better than Hyuga Clan.
This is the so-called Hamura is orthodox on the moon, and Hyuga Clan is more like a defective product. Therefore, Shōji does not really place its hope on making Hyuga Clan cause trouble. In the final analysis, it is just an extra option, and there are some little tricks of Shōji in it.
What exactly is it and how should it be done?
That depends on what happens next.
The current situation is different, and the approach will naturally be different. No matter how good the plan is now, once the situation changes, the previous plan will have to be reset.
'So, this time I want to see if there is a more suitable opportunity! '
Within Land of Fire, not far from the main entrance of Konohagakure.
Shōji followed closely behind Kitsuchi, looking at the giant gate, with a faint and bright color in his black and white pupils, thinking secretly in his heart.
Konoha 51, the beginning of the hot summer in July.
After more than a month, Shōji once again set foot on the territory of Konohagakure. Kumo Ninja, also under the leadership of Dodai, arrived almost immediately after Shōji and his party. Three Great Shinobi Villages once again restarted the so-called peace negotiations!
