"Help?" Ōnoki looked at Genji, who was of the same generation as him, and his tone was full of vigilance for the other party, "How can you Kirigakure be so kind?"
"Haha" Genji chuckled, not caring about Ōnoki's suspicion, "Konoha is a dominant family, which is not in the interest of any Ninja village. Sunagakure has been defeated. If Konoha is allowed to defeat Iwagakure again, I'm afraid it will be our Kirigakure's turn next. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Your Excellency Tsuchikage should understand this."
He paused and threw out his chips.
"We Kirigakure can dispatch an elite force led by me personally to assist you, defeat Konoha's defense line in Land of Rain, and recapture Five-Tails Jinchuriki. Our Kirigakure's requirements are not high. We only need an area east of Land of Rain as our base for future development."
Of course, stealing other countries' Kekkei Genkai cannot be said openly, but it can be done in private.
Ōnoki's cloudy eyes flashed with light.
Now that I am in dire straits, why not give all of Land of Rain's ruined place to Kirigakure? As long as we can save Han, defeat Land of Rain, and preserve Iwagakure's face and strength, all costs will be worth it!
Moreover, Land of Rain is not something you can just take if you want it. Even if I, Iwagakure, agree, Konoha and Sunagakure will not just watch you Kirigakure take root there.
With the current situation of Land of Earth, although it seems that there are internal and external troubles, if Kirigakure's elite troops join in to help...
What about Orochimaru? What about Senju Chen? In the face of absolute numbers and strength, all conspiracies and conspiracies will be shattered!
"I will consider your proposal."
After sending Kirigakure away, Ōnoki's face, which had been suppressed for many days, finally showed a ferocious smile. Negotiation, isn't it just going back and forth several times to maximize the interests of each.
The addition of Kirigakure this time made him seem to have seen the defeat of the Konoha coalition, and the scene of Orochimaru and Senju Chen kneeling down to beg for mercy.
However, just when he was about to mobilize his troops and give Konoha a big "surprise".
"Report--!!!"
A Iwagakure Ninja rolled into the office, his voice full of panic and disbelief.
"Lord Tsuchikage! Urgent military situation!"
"Konoha...Konoha suddenly sent a large number of troops to Land of Rain! A large number of troops led by Minato Namikaze personally, and The elites of several secret arts families, including Uchiha, Hyuga, Aburame, have all arrived at the eastern border of Land of Rain, and have set up... a massive offensive posture!!"
"What?!"
Ōnoki's body, which had just floated up from the chair, froze suddenly and almost fell out of the air due to the mental shock.
He was completely confused.
Konoha is crazy?!
Sunagakure The battle over there hasn't been completely finished yet. They actually dare to divide their troops and increase their troops on such a large scale Land of Rain?!
Minato Namikaze are all here? What do they want to do? Are you really not afraid of defeating yourself by fighting on two fronts? Aren't you the ones who like to shout "peace" the most? How come you have activated your combative blood after winning a battle?!
I haven't even gone to settle the score with you, but you want to take the initiative to fight me?
I haven't hit you yet, but you want to hit me?
Sunagakure It's not over yet yet?
Ōnoki couldn't understand at all, how dare Konoha. At this time, his mind was in chaos. But he knew that facing Konoha's unreasonable death gesture, he had no choice.
"Give me the order!" Ōnoki's roar echoed in the office, "Send all the troops that can be mobilized in the village to the Land of Rain front line!!"
"The person who gave it to Kirigakure said that I agreed to their conditions."
"Contact Sunagakure and tell them the news. Just say that Konoha has deployed a large number of troops in Kikyo Mountain. Currently, Kikyo Mountain Konoha is empty of troops. If they want to win back the city, now is the best time."
"Konoha...Konoha... Since they are looking for death, then I will help them!"
Land of Rain, The continuous rain has been going on for several days. Depression is the only theme of this land.
However, this depression was torn apart by a golden light at a certain moment.
"Our reinforcements are coming."
An unknown person shouted at the entrance of the camp, and instantly, the entire dull camp was boiling with excitement. Countless ninjas poked their heads out of the tents, or stopped what they were doing, and looked at the entrance of the camp with burning eyes.
The leader was a young man with brilliant blond hair, standing there with a smile. He seemed to be carrying sunshine, and just standing there dispelled the coldness and dampness around him, bringing a warm current called "hope" to this desperate battlefield.
"Is that Lord Minato Namikaze? So young..."
"Nonsense! Lord Minato is a genius that we, Konoha, will never see in a century!"
"With Lord Minato here, we will definitely win this battle!"
The morale of the soldiers increased visibly.
In the headquarters tent, Senju Chen and Orochimaru were facing a huge military map, discussing the details of the defense line. Hearing the commotion outside, Orochimaru's golden snake eyes flashed with amusement.
"It seems we have reinforcements coming, Little Chen, you commander is about to fall."
Senju Chen ignored his teasing, just raised his head and looked at the tent door. The curtain was opened, and Minato Namikaze walked in with a refreshing breeze, which was incompatible with the muddy world outside.
"Lord Orochimaru"
"Little Chen!"
Seeing Senju Chen, the iconic gentle smile on Minato Namikaze's face immediately became more real. He stepped forward quickly, held Senju Chen's shoulders without any explanation, and looked up and down. His blue eyes were full of concern. "Are you okay? I heard everything that happened to Land of Rain. You kid, you are really... such a mess!"
There was an elder brother-like reproach in his tone, but more of it was fear and distress.
"I'm fine, Brother Minato." Senju Chen also responded kindly to Minato Namikaze.
"More than just worried." Minato Namikaze sighed, stretched out his hand to rub Senju Chen's hair, and turned his eyes to Orochimaru.
"Lord Orochimaru, I have received the order from the village and I have full authority to cooperate with your actions. What specifically do we need to do?"
Orochimaru watched this scene from the side without interrupting. From the moment Senju Chen took over, the entire strategic command of Land of Rain was completely handed over to Senju Chen.
"Brother Minato, it's very simple." Senju Chen pointed to the defense line at the junction of Iwagakure and Land of Rain on the map, "You don't need to do anything for the time being. You just need to make sure that our Konoha army is approaching the border."
"Let Ōnoki believe that we, Konoha, are going to do our best to fight them, Iwagakure, at the Land of Rain border. Your presence is the greatest deterrent, enough for him to focus all his attention on and pin most of the opponent's troops to this front without daring to make the slightest move."
"Then Kumogakure will attack with all its strength and attack Land of Earth from the north. At that time, Land of Earth is not caring about the head and tail. We only need to use all our strength to involve their main force. Of course, if they dare to split their troops and go to the north, then we do not need to accommodate them. We will directly attack with all our strength and invade the hinterland of Land of Earth in one fell swoop."
Minato Namikaze immediately understood Senju Chen's intention. "To attack in the east and in the west? Is Kumogakure reliable?"
"Don't worry, Brother Minato, I have prepared a big gift for them, they will definitely go all out," Senju Chen said proudly
