Showing Off Your Strength Isn't Shameless!

"Hehe~~~"

Hikaru leaned back in his chair and smiled faintly. "Don't forget that Konoha, that the Land of Fire, occupies the most fertile land. Almost every other major village wants to tear a piece of flesh from us."

"Do you think the other villages will just sit back and watch while Konoha and Sunagakure fight? Those hungry wolves will definitely pounce when you're weak and take a vicious bite out of you."

"Don't forget that Iwagakure, Konoha's old rival, has never been peaceful. It could even draw the other villages into the conflict."

Hikaru was not trying to alarm them. This was simply the truth. After Sunagakure, which of Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Kumogakure had not declared war on Konoha? Which of them had not fought a major war against Konoha?

In truth, Sunagakure was not worth too much of Hikaru's attention. Even if both villages went to war at full strength, Konoha's overall strength was greater, and it had more powerful fighters. Defeating Sunagakure was practically a foregone conclusion. What truly deserved attention were the other villages.

Once Konoha and Sunagakure fought each other to the death, the other villages could jump in and stab Konoha in the back. That would be Konoha's difficult period.

Not to mention that the Third Ninja War was also when Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu began setting their plan in motion. Compared with the wars between the major ninja villages, Hikaru cared more about them.

In Hikaru's view, Uchiha Hikaru and Black Zetsu posed a greater threat than several villages combined.

"This is bad. We need to report this news to the Hokage Lord immediately!!!!" Hatake Sakumo said gravely.

If the other villages truly had such intentions and were going to join in, then Konoha needed to prepare in advance. Otherwise, it would suffer
