Chapter Twenty-Nine: Old Fellows
Tian no Kuni, Otokure Village.
After two wars with the two countries of wind and fire, no one dared to underestimate this small border country adjacent to the land of fire. In World War I, he destroyed the elite Shayin army and captured 300 Konoha ninjas, and in World War II, he defeated 3,000 elite Konoha ninja troops, annihilated most of the ninjas, and killed Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas who shocked the ninja world for decades.
Even the great powers could not do so well in a deliberate ambush.
The sound ninja village, this small ninja village with less than a hundred, has a military strength that is not inferior to the five major powers. After this battle, the eyes of the whole world focused on Otoshinobi Village, speculating about the actions of Otoshinobi Village, or Yagamiki.
Thunder Shadow Ai of the Land of Thunder has even been eager to take the border of the army, and he has long coveted the rich land of the Land of Fire. Three thousand ninjas can't be regarded as a fundamental injury to the Fire Country, which has nearly 20,000 ninjas, but it is also a major loss, especially the three ninja Jiraiya also fell in this battle.
In the past, although the three shinobi scattered and left Konoha everywhere, they still intimidated other countries. Before the idea of sending troops to the land of fire, they all had to count the terrifying combat power of the three ninjas.
But now, Orochimaru attacked Konoha and died, and Jiraiya died for Konoha to fight, and the three shinobi were left alone, Tsunade who was rumored to have suffered from hemophobia.
The three generations of Danzo were dying, and Kakashi was taken away from the writing wheel after this battle.
Hinata Hinata Hinata , Pig Deer Butterfly, and the patriarchs of Konoha are at odds with Konoha because of the battle against Otoshinobi Village. In this campaign, not even the family ninja was dispatched.
This is the weakest time in fifty years. The great powers sharpened their fangs, expecting to bite off a piece of flesh from Konoha .
After this battle, the Shayin troops, who were originally going to march into the Sound Ninja Village, immediately retreated to a valley in the Fire Country to repair, and the supreme commander of the Shayin forces, Ebizo, rushed to Konoha to discuss the war with the three generations.
Ebizo walked slowly down the aisle leading to the parliament. He didn't like to use crutches, so he hunched his back, his dry and rough hands behind him, and walked slowly step by step. His old appearance made one almost think that he would die after exhaling his last breath in the next second.
The ninja of the shadows respectfully opened the door for the old man in front of him. At this moment, Ebizo stumbled, and the dark department immediately reached out to support his arm.
"Thank you, young man. ”
Ebizo smiled gently.
"It's been a long time, Ebizo. I didn't expect you to be so old that you couldn't walk. A neutral voice came from the room.
"Hey~hey~, the years are not forgiving!" Ebizo's hand tapped lightly on his back. He looked at the people in the room half-closed.
Ape Flying Sun, Shimura Danzo, Zhuan Koharu, and Mito Menyan are all old acquaintances - the old immortals of Konoha.
They had those heart-wrenching encounters, and Ebizo's ribs still had the scars cut by Danzo's wind, but everything was already buried in the years.
Ebizo slowly walked to the sofa prepared for him by the third generation and sat down, his body was slightly sunken, and after sitting down, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression made people think that he would fall asleep.
He didn't seem to want to speak first, so the three generations had to speak first.
"Brother Hai Laozang, what do you Sha Yin think about this war?"
"Thoughts?" Ebizo's eyes opened slightly, "I don't have any ideas, as Konoha's allies, we Sha Yin will always stand on the same side as Konoha, and it will be up to Konoha to decide whether to fight or peace." ”
As soon as Ebizo opened his mouth, he put Sha Yin in the position of assisting Konoha, so the initiative naturally fell into Konoha's hands. But on the other hand, Shayin's loss in this war will be much smaller.
This is only because, apart from revenge and shame, Sha Yin has nothing to gain in this war.
'Old fox!' Tuan Tuan muttered in his heart.
After saying this, Ebizo put on a look of lack of energy, and sat on his sofa without saying a word. In the end, it was Mito Menitis on the Konoha side who spoke first.
"After this battle, we once again received a peace letter from Otoshinobi Village. ”
"Unlike the previous two times, this time Otoshinobu Village will not mention the compensation for the damage caused by the Konoha collapse plan. He demanded that we pay a lot of money in exchange for the captives and a peace treaty. ”
"So...... Is Konoha going to sign this treaty?" said Ebizo, who was nestled on the sofa.
"Nature is impossible. Danzo's hands clenched his cane, "Konoha will never accept such an insult!"
"What is an insult?" Ebizo's old eyes looked directly at the group in front of him.
"The First Ninja War, the Second Ninja War, and the Third Ninja War, Konoha was never defeated. "Tuanzang looks back" This war cannot be defeated and sued for peace as the result!
Danzo's eyes suddenly reminded Ebizo of the pain of defeat, and he lost his son and daughter-in-law in the war with Konoha.
Oh, still as arrogant as ever, it's disgusting!
Ebizo closed his eyes and let the hateful old face disappear from his sight.
"As Danzo said, we don't accept peace. Miyome took over the conversation. However, the real reason for not accepting the peace proposal was well known to all those present, but none of them appealed to it.
That's the threat of the Otoshinobi Village. The land and resources that this ninja village has are too small for its strength. Once it is allowed to recuperate and accumulate strength, then when there is a ****, it is destined to yearn for a land that matches its strength. The Land of Fields is adjacent to the Land of Fire, and the land it needs will naturally be snatched from the Land of Fire.
Konoha and Otoshinobi Village will have a life-and-death battle, it's just a matter of time or time. Rather than wait for the years to breed a more powerful enemy, it is better to destroy this enemy before it grows stronger.
Moreover, the leader of the Otoshinobi Village, Yagamiki, who was a thousand horses in the battlefield, is only fifteen years old now, and he can meet him, and in the future, he may grow into a peerless powerhouse like Madara Uchiha or the Thousand Hands Pillar. You know, the original Senju Pillar and Madara single-handedly ended the Warring States Period!
After missing the Danzo, Yagami Ki, who lacked political experience, once again miscalculated Konoha's reaction. His heart was completely drawn by the catastrophe of the future, he saw the future, but he was also bewildered by it.
Konoha will continue to fight, and the fierce war will not stop!
"The first two defeats were mostly due to incomplete information about Otoshinobi Village. "Three generations puffing smoke" We didn't know about Yagamiki's blood succession power, nor did we know that the Filthy Earth Reincarnation had been developed by him to the point where he could manipulate hundreds of people. I never thought that they would hold the flesh and blood of the Uchiha clan in their hands!"
Miyo said and glanced at Danzo, if it weren't for his dirty deal with Orochimaru, he wouldn't be so troublesome now.
"But after two bitter wars, we no longer know anything about Otoshinobi Village. After paying for the lives of 1,835 Konoha ninjas, I don't believe that Otohan Village still has hole cards!"
"In the next war, Konoha will do his best, and will send enough sealing ninjas, and we will win the victory that is long overdue!"
"And...... I, Mito Menyan, and Koharu will join the war!"
"What!" Danzo looked at the three people in front of him in shock.
"Hehe, I'm old, can I still be impressed? Don't die miserably on the battlefield!" Ebizo was also shocked, and he said teasingly.
"Brother, aren't you like that?" the corners of the three generations' mouths rose upward, "Since young people can't afford to carry this burden, we old guys only need to pick it up for a while!"
"Ape Fei Ri Slash, why didn't you consult me about this decision!" said Tuan Zang angrily!
"Just in case, Shinobi Village needs someone to take charge of the overall situation!" said the three generations turned to look at their rivals and best friends.
Reason told Danzo that he couldn't say any more.
Three generations died on the battlefield, which was the best result for him. He could use this to seize the Hokage's position.
However, at this moment, he suddenly recalled the shame of that life.
In the forest, the Konoha ninjas who were chased by the elite forces of the cloud ninja sat in a circle, and the second generation Hokage spoke leisurely between the thousand hands
"We need someone to lure our pursuers away in exchange for the survival of the others!"
At the time, everyone thought that this was a task that required dedication, and no one thought that this was a test for the second Hokage to choose the next Hokage.
And then...... When Tuan Zang was still struggling with his life for the ninja village, Sarutobi had already spoken.
And that's why he became Konoha and Danzo became Root.
"Ape Flying Sun, you still think that I, Shimura Tunzo, am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" Tunzang emotionally clubbed his cane, "Hokage stays in Ninja Village, I'll go!"
After saying this, Tuan Zang instantly felt more relaxed than ever!
"Tuanzang...... Then let's go together!" said Miyo, taking a sharp puff of his cigarette.
"Huh...... Hahaha...... Ahem......" Ebizo, who was nestled on the sofa, suddenly laughed, followed by a violent cough.
"I thought our time was long gone, and the future belonged to young people. ”
"Now it seems that we old guys are still needed in this era!"
