Back then, Konoha looked harmless to humans and animals, which aroused the fear of all Shinobi World, which in turn caused Four Great Shinobi Villages to take turns attacking Konohagakure.
It's not because I think you have this heart, but because you have the strength and foundation!
Now Iwagakure has shown Chi Guoguo's attitude of "I want to be the boss". With this strength, which ninja village will not feel fear and worry!?
What you have to understand is that the current Iwagakure is not just strong at the top. Some of the new weapons exposed in this war are not so conspicuous because of Two-Tails, Wu, and Shisui. However, the leaders of the ninja villages in various countries are not blind. How can they still not see the threat of these equipments!?
Especially the power of Chakra Armor!
It can double the combat power of Iwagakure Ninja!
In this battle, Iwagakure Ninja's casualties were only a few hundred, and Chakra Armor also contributed a lot!
This kind of powerful strength is displayed from top to bottom.
This is the source of fear!
Of course, what they are worried about is not problems like Shinobi World Hegemony. If Iwagakure really wants this kind of thing, it will be given if it is given. At worst, they can wait for a while to wait for their own Ninja Village to develop again.
But what if Iwagakure's intention is more than that!?
In the past, there was Warring States Period the demise of many small countries and Ninja Clan decades ago, and later in the parallel period Five Great Nations Whirlpool Country, Land of Grass, and Land of Hot Springs were destroyed one after another. Just in case, that is to say, just in case, Iwagakure's ambition is so big that he wants to destroy the ninja villages of all countries!?
It can be said that it is at this moment.
The vigilance of major countries towards Iwagakure has soared to the highest level. Even Kirigakure, which had previously reached an alliance agreement with Iwagakure, has adopted a wait-and-see attitude and will definitely not do such a thing as directly tearing up Alliance Treaty.
However, some of the frontline Kiri Ninja troops that were sent out to suppress Kumogakure were recovered under the orders of Terumi Mei. Don't look at whether Terumi Mei had ever considered directly participating in the war to assist Iwagakure's idea of suppressing Kumogakure is based on the fact that Iwagakure is either attacked by two or three parties and is at a disadvantage, or Kumogakure has a certain but not obvious advantage in a single fight!
But it doesn't include this situation at all!
As I said before, whether Iwagakure wants Shinobi World Hegemony or wants to coerce other countries, these Terumi Mei and Genji are acceptable!
It doesn't hurt to even help one or two to a certain extent!
But the bottom line is also set here!
Iwagakure cannot continue to cross the line!
Not to mention threatening their Kirigakure survival.
Even Sunagakure, Kumogakure, Terumi Mei, and Genji cannot possibly watch Iwagakure destroy them both!
Terumi Mei and Genji still understand the most basic principle of "lips are dead and teeth are cold"!
In other words, Five Great Shinobi Villages still exists, and mutual restraint is the bottom line for the top management of Kirigakure headed by Terumi Mei and Genji!
Kirigakure, who is a 'quasi ally', has such an attitude, let alone other countries. The most direct example is Sunagakure. Almost at the moment he received the news, that Fourth Kazekage—Rasa without any hesitation ordered the army to move forward to the area close to the Northern Fortress that had been captured before his own ninja village!
Yes, you read that right!
Fourth Kazekage, who had clearly planned to attack when Iwagakure was at a disadvantage, brazenly sent troops to assist Northern Fortress when Iwagakure had such a huge advantage!
Because he knew very well that Kumogakure could never be destroyed. Once Kumogakure was destroyed, or if it was hit hard again.
Rasa is 100% certain that Iwagakure's next target must be their Sunagakure. This is almost an obvious fact!
This time the troops were sent out seemingly for Kumogakure.
But in fact, it is for Sunagakure himself. Except for some really short-sighted people in the entire Ninja Village, the rest of the people have recognized their own Lord Kazekage's judgment and must curb the momentum of Iwagakure!
No matter how high the price is, we must send troops!
This time Rasa is still leading the team personally.
And before departure, Rasa once again visited Chiyo and Ebizo. This time the two Sunagakure elders no longer deliberately missed Rasa. Different from the previous two or three collisions, Sunagakure suffered some losses at most and did not endanger life or death itself. This time Iwagakure's aggressiveness is already very obvious!
Chiyo No matter how disheartened he is because of the death of his son and daughter-in-law, and the defection of his grandson, he must come out again at this time. The next step is really related to the survival of his own ninja village!
Rasa can clearly see the problem.
There is no reason why Chiyo would not be able to see through it.
Just like Four Great Shinobi Villages worked together to control Konoha before, this time they are going to work together to control the rise of Iwagakure!
After arranging everything, Rasa led more than seven thousand Sunagakure Ninjas and headed towards their own Northern Fortress.
It can be said that he tried his best!
At the same time, the necessary liaison personnel had already set off one step ahead, and went to Kumogakure, Konohagakure, and Kirigakure respectively!
Kumogakure rearranged the defense line, Sunagakure boldly sent out troops, and Kirigakure withdrew troops early to wait and see!
It is already a good explanation of the attitude of the entire Shinobi World towards Iwagakure at this moment. As the former leader of Five Great Shinobi Villages, he still has the foundation of the largest ninja village. Konohagakure, who is at the core of the mainland, is no exception!
The moment the message is received.
Konoha F4 gathered again, as well as Shikaku, Inoichi and others.
This room Hokage's Office was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.
At the moment when everyone gathered, Third Hokage, who was in the first position, rarely asked anyone's opinion, nor was he silent for even a second.
"Send troops to interfere with Iwagakure's attack. We must protect Kumogakure!"
This Third Hokage came with a very determined look and said these words.
This is also the judgment made by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
They Konoha cannot and cannot continue to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
Iwagakure is strong!
Uchiha Shōji is powerful!
The balance of Shinobi World has been broken, and it has reached the point where it must be contained. Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu on the left also nodded solemnly.
This is where there is no need for hesitation or doubt.
Even if we don't mention the big-picture issue of Shinobi World structure, the hatred between the Uchiha Clan and their Konoha is enough to prompt them to make the same judgment. They thought there was no need to take action before, because they didn't realize that Iwagakure could be so powerful, and Uchiha Shōji could be so terrifying!
Third Hokage, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu.
At the beginning, they all had the intention of letting Iwagakure and Kumogakure fight dog. Even if they also felt that Iwagakure was the overall dominant side, they would have to pay a heavy price to win. When the two ninja villages were almost exhausted, Konoha would be able to easily clean up the mess!
However, within just a few days, the situation suddenly changed, and the whole situation suddenly turned upside down!
A Uchiha Shōji can actually challenge the combination of Eight-Tails Jinchuriki+Fourth Raikage!?
Moreover, the information passed back seems to show that Uchiha Shōji did not work very hard!?
Doesn't that mean that the newly released Lord Fourth Tsuchikage still has some power left in him!? If this is the case, even if this Uchiha contemporary Shura is not as scary as the previous generation Shura, it is definitely not far behind!
Especially when I think of their Konohagakure's current high-level combat capabilities. The pillars of the past have either committed suicide (White Fang) or died in battle (Minato, Kushina). He defected directly (Orochimaru). Among the remaining people, there is an old one (Sarutobi Hiruzen), a young one (Uzumaki Naruto who is only six years old), and one who is almost unreachable (Tsunade).
There is only one Jiraiya left that can really support the entire Konoha in such a scene!
But with the combat power shown by Shōji, a Jiraiya is useless!
If you really watch Iwagakure push Kumogakure, who else can resist Iwagakure next!?
Even the arrogant and arrogant person like Danzo showed a gloomy expression at this moment!
"Sunagakure needs to be contacted immediately. The strength of our village may not be enough to threaten Iwagakure!"
Mitokado Homura also said in a deep voice.
"Well, I understand this. I also immediately sent people to recall Jiraiya. I will ask Jiraiya to rush directly to the front line. However, the village must also mobilize immediately. Kumogakure may not be able to withstand it for too long. This time it is I will personally lead the army to the front line, Danzo. You go with me to the front line, and the logistics issues will be left to you, Yan, Koharu, as well as other important matters in the village. When I am not in the village, I will leave it to the two of you to negotiate and handle!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said in a very solemn tone.
This is a very critical moment.
If it is not handled properly, it is very likely that Kumogakure will be bulldozed in a short period of time. By that time, Shinobi World structure will definitely undergo serious changes!
Moreover, it is definitely not conducive to their Konoha side's change trend.
This is a development that Third Hokage absolutely does not want to see, so Sarutobi Hiruzen, who has not been on the front line for many years, is determined to take the initiative to go into battle this time!
As for bringing Danzo along, there are both external factors and internal factors to consider. When Danzo heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, he also frowned slightly. Wei, according to his true nature, he is definitely not willing to go to the front line. It's not that he is afraid of death, but if he can stay in the village, he can have a lot of room for maneuver while Hiruzen Sarutobi is away.
But looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude, he doesn't intend to let him stay in the village like this.
Danzo, who had many thoughts running through his mind in an instant, did not show any trace of hesitation on his face. He nodded expressionlessly and said, "Yes."
"Don't worry, Hiruzen Sarutobi."
"Yeah!"
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu also responded synchronously.
This is rare for Konoha High Command F4 to be able to reach an agreement quickly in the shortest time. Of course, this is also based on the particularity of the situation!
Not only did Sarutobi Hiruzen not hesitate, Danzo also didn't have any objections.
This in itself is to target Uchiha Clan, which he hates the most, and there is no way he can say anything against it!
"Shikaku, you will be responsible for the relevant matters. Then you will also follow me to the front line as a staff officer. In addition, you will draft a liaison notice and statement respectively, and issue Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure! You should understand how to write it, right?"
Followed by.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also turned to look at Nara Shikaku behind him and said.
"Yes, Lord Hokage, please don't worry!"
Shikaku also suddenly lowered his head and replied.
What to write, Shikaku feels the same as Mingjing!
And after responding, Shikaku continued, "I boldly suggest that we contact Kirigakure and the daimyo!"
A wise man needs no words.
Shikaku There is no need to explain the reason.
Just by raising this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen reacted immediately and nodded slowly.
Including Danzo, their eyes flashed at the first moment.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, the slowest responders, frowned at first, but after thinking about it for a while, they all responded.
Shikaku's suggestion is indeed a very good one!
Kirigakure Of course, there is no need to say more. The most exciting thing is the daimyo. If you want to say how much power and influence the daimyo of Five Great Nations really have on the Ninja Village, it is indeed a joke!
But it happened to be in such a situation.
There is still a certain probability that it can produce some unexpected effects!
"Well, just do as you say, Shikaku, I authorize you!"
Third Hokage nodded without any hesitation.
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
Konohagakure must act immediately.
In this huge war machine that was operating at full strength, many Konoha Ninjas quickly gathered at the moment they received the recruitment order. The first batch of Konoha Ninjas summoned included five thousand people!
Five thousand people will be mobilized later, and a total of ten thousand Konoha Ninja troops will be dispatched to the northwest front!
Among these recruited ninja corps, Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi are not mentioned, Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy, Akimichi Chōza, Morino Ibiki, Namiashi Raidō, Genma Shiranui, and other Original Work all have varying degrees of appearances. Jōnin, Special Jōnin, and Elite Chūnin are also on the roster!
The pressure and destructive power brought by Iwagakure is simply too terrifying!
Third Hokage had to be more cautious. If not for the tight time limit, Third Hokage planned to further mobilize the troops in the village. In terms of initial staffing, it was naturally necessary to mobilize the elites in the village as much as possible!
Including the Anbu force directly under him, this one Third Hokage also plans to bring at least half of it to the front line to prevent the violent conflict that is likely to break out!
"The war is about to start again..."
Unlike Third Shinobi World War who was still very immature, Might Guy, who is already 20 years old during this period, can better understand how cruel war is. He has always been very optimistic, positive, and even a little nonsensical. He always shows a very solemn look when facing war.
It's been less than two years since the last three-village collision.
A second war is about to break out.
And the target is still Iwagakure, or to be more precise, Uchiha Clan. Although Might Guy seems to have the thinking of a single-celled organism, he is not stupid, but he is often unwilling to consider things too complicated.
In fact, Might Guy's vision and thinking in looking at things cannot be said to be the best, but it is definitely above the average level!
To be honest, there are some people in the village who are really dissatisfied with the hatred between Lord Hokage, several elders and Uchiha in his own ninja village. If Uchiha Clan continues to weaken or even perish, there may not be any problem.
But after leaving the village, Uchiha became stronger and stronger!
Now he is leading Iwagakure to coerce the entire Ninja Village. How could this not cause other people in the village to have other strange thoughts?
Might Guy is one of them.
But after all, Might Guy is still a very pure Konoha Ninja.
For him, the war is certainly not what he wants, but if it is really for the benefit and safety of the village, this Konoha blue beast is willing to pay the price with his life, just like Third Shinobi World War his father, who used his life as the price to protect him and his companions!
That also left a very deep impression on the very young Might Guy.
Might Guy also strengthened his determination from that moment on!
You must become a ninja like your father!
In this period, Metkai definitely did not have the strength against Uchiha Madara in the fourth battle in the original work, but how strong it can be is still unknown, because with the Eight Gate Dungeon, firstly, it depends on the degree of control of the spell by the caster, and secondly, how strong the caster's own basic strength is!
Give a very clear example
Can Rock Lee in Original Work have the same strength as Five Gates and Might Guy in Five Gates?
Obviously this is not possible!
Not to mention the basic strength of the two, there is a very clear gap. Even if you take a step back, Might Guy's basic strength is the same as Rock Lee, and is still used. Five Gates and Might Guy can still beat Rock Lee. The reason is very simple. How long does it take for Rock Lee to learn Eight Gates Formation? Might Guy has been immersed in this technique for how many years!?
The two are completely different in terms of understanding and control!
Therefore, how strong Might Guy is in this period still depends on his own performance. The only thing that is certain is that he is definitely not as strong as Original Work who almost kicked him to the end!
Whether it is possible to threaten the life of Shōji with Eight Gates turned on, it really depends on the on-the-spot showdown!
But uncertainty is one thing.
Once Shōji knows that Might Guy is also among the first batch of dispatched troops of Konoha, he will definitely be more vigilant. This was also the case in the last collision between three villages. At that time, Shōji did not have Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan yet!
If you really encounter a brainless guy like Might Guy, just come to Eight Gates Evening Elephant and cooperate with Jiraiya.
During that period, Shōji definitely came and died several times!
And it's the kind of death that is very transparent.
Nowadays, Shōji can be more confident, but it is limited to himself. Even if the 20-year-old Might Guy is no longer as good as him during the decisive battle in Original Work, Seventh Gate can probably overwhelm the vast majority of Kage Level!
Eight Gates open simultaneously.
To put it bluntly, it should be possible to instantly kill almost everyone including Nagato!
Shōji The so-called confidence is also a question mark.
After all, don't say too much.
As long as Might Guy in this period is about 70% to 80% as good as Original Work at the decisive battle, Shōji should generally not be able to stop Eight Gates Evening Elephant, or even Daytime Tiger's blow.
Even if Madara had some intention of playing with the world and was not particularly serious, it was after all that he turned on Rinnegan and absorbed Ten-Tails, which is Six Paths Madara that is truly comparable to Sage of Six Paths!
Might Guy can produce such results with one kick, which is enough to make people feel frightened!
This is why.
Shōji always needs to be very cautious and meticulous when making corresponding plans. In this world, there are still some absolute forces that can threaten him!
But in Konohagakure.
Now only Might Guy can truly threaten Shōji's life.
Others, even Jiraiya and Sarutobi Hiruzen, may not really pose much of a threat to Shōji.
Needless to say, there are Kakashi, Chōza, Shibi and others below. Together they are not enough for Shōji or Teuchi!
But no matter what, this time Konohagakure really came out with all the best!
The army gathered in the shortest time.
"Let's go!"
Then, under the leadership of Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was also fully armed, they headed toward the northwest, towards the junction of Land of Fire and Land of Earth.
A village of ninjas each taking action.
One after another, Three Great Shinobi Villages reached a tacit understanding without contact.
Followed by.
They are also the envoys sent by each.
After further discussions, Three Great Shinobi Villages also reached a preliminary agreement. When Sunagakure and Rasa learned that Konohagakure was almost acting in sync with their Sunagakure, Fourth Kazekage also breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't look at Rasa's previous attitude that he must help Kumogakure.
But if Konoha pretends to be dead and does not send troops.
Rasa will definitely change his mind again. Even if he knows very well that he will not send troops to help Kumogakure, when Kumogakure is finished, it will definitely be their turn Sunagakure, but if Konoha does not send troops, they will be the only ones to endure the village.
It makes no sense!
It would be better not to send troops.
At least you can die a little later, right?
At this time, there is a big difference between 'death early' and 'death late'. Maybe it will change in the future!?
Therefore, Rasa's decision must still be based on Konoha's dispatch of troops.
Now after learning that Konoha will mobilize nearly ten thousand troops, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi will go out in person, and will also recall Jiraiya and Tsunade.
Rasa is also completely relieved.
In his opinion, Three-Village Alliance, at worst, can force Iwagakure back!?
There's no way Iwagakure can still challenge Three Great Shinobi Villages!?
The previous Konoha couldn't do this! (Referring to Konoha after both First Hokage and Uchiha Madara died in battle. If the two of them are together, all Shinobi World will be useless.)
