Konoha.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood by the window of the office, looking solemnly at the light.
It seems that I am not in the mood to appreciate the scenery outside the window--
Third Raikage died in Sunagakure - this news is nothing less than a thunder for the Shinobi World war that just started!
From the perspective of Konoha, it is beneficial!
After all, they Konoha are fighting with Kumogakure - one less shadow will have a huge impact on Kumogakure.
However, unlike Sunagakure, Kumogakure is almost on par with Konoha in terms of economy, military and population, and is not comparable to today's Sunagakure.
The family background is still strong enough.
But if Third Raikage dies, it will definitely affect the battlefield on the front line.
It is estimated that Fourth Raikage A will have to rush to take over the new Raikage.
Compared to Kumogakure, Sarutobi is more worried, but it is Sunagakure.
Let's look at Sunagakure's economy. From the looks of it, its rise can no longer be stopped.
Secondly, Sunagakure's military strategy, that is, the way of fighting on the battlefield, has obviously changed - and talented generals like Arai have appeared.
Plus the equally famous Sasori of the Red Sands.
Now, another top Kage Level battle force has appeared, blood doctor Yubi.
This made Sarutobi feel a sense of crisis.
He can even foresee that Sunagakure has a bright future.
Looking at it now, Third Kazekage disappeared mysteriously - but it did not bring a big blow to Sunagakure.
"Fifteen-year-old shadow--"
After thinking about it, Sarutobi sighed.
This talent is really too dazzling.
Even he had to praise it.
The brilliance of one person, Yubi, almost overshadowed the entire generation of Shinobi World.
No one can compete with it.
They even climbed to the top of the pyramid on the bones of the older generation.
Sarutobi knows very well what kind of strength Third Raikage is.
No matter how Yubi did it.
At least - this little guy, no one in Shinobi World dares to look down on Sunagakure anymore.
"Yubi, it's him again!"
On the other side, Iwagakure.
The little old man Ōnoki also received the message.
The old man's body floated in the air, flew up from the chair, and landed on the ground.
Standing aside is his son Kitsuchi.
Compared to Konoha, in their Iwagakure's opinion - it was a genius of Sunagakure who suddenly killed Third Raikage, and then, naturally, he became a movie star!
There was no warning at all.
The last news they received about Yubi was a few months ago.
Sunagakure fired the first shot of the Shinobi World war at the border between Land of Rivers and Land of Fire, severely damaging the Konoha army led by the third generation Hokage.
Then, some small-scale conflicts broke out between the armies of the two villages in Land of Rivers.
Then, a few days ago, there was a close fight and a big battle.
Then, in the blink of an eye - Third Raikage attacked Sunagakure, and was counterattacked by Yubi - Land of Wind and Sunagakure simultaneously transmitted information to the outside world.
Fifteen-year-old blood doctor Yubi became the youngest Kazekage in history.
When it comes to their understanding of Kumogakure, Iwagakure thinks they are better than Konoha.
After all, in the last Shinobi World battle, the gap between the two of them was quite big.
"That brat is scary. Not only did he kill Raikage, but he took over the position directly within a few days from when things developed to now."
"It is enough to illustrate one thing - that is, after the battle with Raikage, he did not suffer any injuries that would take time to recover -"
Ōnoki said in a deep voice.
This is -- a little scary.
If a junior kills Raikage and suffers heavy losses himself, it can still be tolerated.
But this level of deadly battle failed to have any impact on Yubi - this is what worries the old man.
However, it doesn't matter whether it is Yubi or Third Raikage.
In Ōnoki's opinion, it's all dog eat dog.
Whoever dies - they Iwagakure are all happy.
After the last Shinobi World war ended, they Iwagakure and Sunagakure were still spending a long time on the battlefield.
The reason why blood doctor Yubi officially became famous is, quite literally, because he jumped on the stage on their Iwagakure heads.
Blood doctor Yubi killed hundreds of them Iwagakure--
Including the blow Iwagakure brought to them on the battlefield - until now, many people in the village hate this little guy.
It can be said that without Yubi, there would have been at least half as many Iwagakure who died on the battlefield.
They can even "get a bargain" from Sunagakure!
But it was this hateful little brat that made them Iwagakure finally have to passively choose to cease the war, only after paying an extremely heavy price.
No strategic advantage was gained, but it almost suffered a huge setback.
This made Ōnoki also hate Yubi so much that he just didn't see this brat - otherwise -
"What did the daimyo say?"
Ōnoki came back to his senses and looked at Kitsuchi.
"The daimyo has already replied to the letter - expressing congratulations to the other party." Kitsuchi scratched his head and said with a smile.
"Hmph!"
Ōnoki snorted coldly.
There was a fierce fight between their villages, and these famous people were just like normal people.
"Get ready, collect the troops on the front line against Land of Wind and Land of Fire, and then attack Land of Lightning with all your strength - while it is sick and kills it, I will make Kumogakure pay the due price for what happened before!" Ōnoki said.
"Why are you still standing there?! Go quickly!"
After finishing speaking, seeing Kitsuchi still standing there, Ōnoki blew his beard and stared.
"Hmm."
Kitsuchi nodded with a silly smile.
Turn around and leave.
It can be seen that although Kitsuchi is quite old himself, he is still a little afraid of his father.
"By the way, how is Sunagakure's drug acquisition going?"
Just as Kitsuchi was about to step out the door, Ōnoki suddenly thought of something and asked suddenly.
"Although there are many countries and villages that Shinobi World and Sunagakure are currently cooperating with, given how precious this drug resource is, if we want to buy it from others in disguise, the money we need to spend will be more than double the market price. Moreover, as the Shinobi World war intensifies, the price of drugs has also been rising."
"In addition, during the war, both the village and the country want to use these pharmaceutical resources to protect themselves first. Even if they give us money, they may not sell them to us."
"Currently, the drug resources we have purchased in disguised form are only enough to maintain one battlefield for short-term use - and purchasing from other people is obviously not an option. It would be too heavy a burden on the village's economic situation."
Kitsuchi said honestly.
"I know, let's go."
Ōnoki waved his hand.
Obviously, Sunagakure is deliberately controlling the supply of goods and has not completely increased the volume--
This method is obviously to use this Shinobi World war to drive up prices and make a lot of money.
It had only been a few months since the war started, and the situation in each village and country had not yet reached its most serious point - but the value of Sunagakure's medicine had been completely highlighted.
This stuff--it smells so good!
Otherwise, Third Raikage would not have risked his life by running into other people's villages to rob--
The outcome - needless to say.
"Fourth Kazekage--"
Ōnoki murmured.
