Chapter 408: Preparing for War and Going to War
The ninja world is once again shrouded in the clouds of war, and the war that is about to break out this time can undoubtedly be called the "Tailed Beast War" - both a war caused by Tailed Beasts and a war aimed at capturing Tailed Beasts. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Five Shadows Talks, which had a very serious idea, a very absurd process, and a very speechless result, ended that day.
After leaving the Iron Country, all parties returned to the village safely. So there is nothing to do with the samurai in the future, although they will be highly vigilant in the future, and closely follow the development of the ninja world, but if they really want to say it, it is just watching the show in vain.
The ninjas are out of their brains, and it's not about the samurai.
After the three of Tsunade returned to Konoha, active preparations began.
At the same time, Konoha, Mist, and Sand Hide also began to have super frequent contact, and Tsunade, who was the Hokage, was also extremely busy.
"Hokage-sama, the messenger sent by Yuyin has arrived." Inside the Hokage's office, a ninja reported to Tsunade.
"Why?"
"The reason is to submit a 'neutrality application' for a possible war, and in the future, the Rain Country wants to strictly adhere to the principle of neutrality, and they don't want to get involved in the disputes of the five powers......," the ninja responded.
"Is that the kind of thing again?"
Tsunade rubbed her eyebrows, this kind of application made her speechless.
It's a good thing to reconnect with Yuyin, but as happens in every war, why don't these small countries take their education?
Or maybe they always have a fluke mentality, but in reality it is impossible to remain neutral, and the result of both sides trying to please is that neither side is pleasing either.
The situation in the Iron Country is just a special case within a special case, and people can only maintain a neutral position for a long time if they are not in the ninja system, with the current strength and status of Yuyin, why do they want this kind of treatment?
The era of demigod Hanzo stirring up the ninja world alone has passed.
"Yes, with the previous country of Taki, the country of grass, the country of rivers, and the country of fields, the country of rain is already the fifth......"
"Let the advisors deal with it, and then all such matters will be handed over to the advisors, dissolve the alliance between Konoha and the applicant, and agree to their neutrality request, but the other party must guarantee the right of passage of the Konoha ninjas within their territory, and must not attack the Konoha ninjas who enter the territory, and at the same time, once Iwakuin or Yunyin uses their territory as an invasion route, Konoha has the right to counterattack in the middle."
“…… Be! ”
According to Tsunade, this is considered a Mao's neutrality? Not even nominal neutrality.
In the future, small countries will continue to be reduced to the battlefields of large countries, as in previous wars...... That's why war is so unfair, and it's not just what happens to small countries.
But Tsunade is only the Hokage and has no obligation to be responsible to other countries.
"Hokage-sama, the emissaries of Sand Hide and Mist Hide have arrived in Konoha, and the document of the joint statement is ready to be released." After the ninja left, the other ninja went on to report on the next task.
At this time, Tsunade was writing something on the desk, and she said directly without even raising her head, "Then announce it directly, and report to me one by one about this kind of things that have already been decided??" ”
The silence that assisted her in her work on the side was speechless, please, this kind of thing that represents the power of a village to act externally, who can make a decision except the Hokage?
The stakes are very high, of course, you have to get confirmation, but Hokage-sama actually felt verbose.
The so-called joint statement is actually very simple, except for the beautification of itself, the accusation of Iwakuin Yunyin, and the exaggeration of the inevitability of war, the core gist is to say that Iwakuin and Yunyin should hand over the tailed beast within a month limit, otherwise Konoha, Shayin, and Wuyin will jointly take "coercive measures".
The statement did not mention the word war throughout the statement, but it positively informed the entire ninja world of the imminent outbreak of war...... So something magical happened, and the war between ninjas was actually not sneaky.
At this time, because of the preparation for war, there are too many things that give Tsunade a headache, first of all, she wants to control both the scale and duration of the war, and if possible, the Hokage wants to fight a "blitzkrieg".
The reason for the war is the Tailed Beast, and after the capture of the Tailed Beast, the flames of war will be extinguished, after all, this war is different from the last time, and the point of contention for interests is more clear and simple: neither land nor wealth, just the Tailed Beast.
More importantly, the wounds left by the last war are still there, and from the heart of the day, no side wants to fight a protracted war.
But this is a war after all, it is full of uncertainties, and even Tsunade himself knows that what she thinks about is just a beautiful "idea" with no practical meaning.
Once the battlefield begins, no one knows exactly when it will end.
Another point that gave her the most headache was the command of joint operations. For the first time since the establishment of the ninja village system, there will inevitably be a variety of problems, from logistical supplies to front-line deployment.
If the war drags on for a long time, it will probably be difficult to guarantee that Tsunade's double ponytail will be annoyed by the Mediterranean......
When you think about it this way, the brutality of war comes to the fore.
In short, the basic principle of action between the villages is joint operations, overall deployment, and independent command, and it is too unrealistic to realize the mixing of ninjas in each village, and it will even cause all kinds of inefficiency and chaos, so it is very important to command your own ninjas, and it is enough for the three parties to maintain consistency in the general direction.
In this case, regardless of whether there is a father-killing feud between Iwain and Yunyin, they are bound to unite under the pressure of immense.
Want to fight one against three? That's impossible, it's just going to be broken by each one.
"Tsunade-sama, there is one more important thing, Konoha's actions need the consent and signature of the Daimyo of the Fire Country, otherwise our war will not be legal...... Shizune suddenly reminded again.
While this legitimacy is in name only, it is also essential.
Nominally, the Daimyo is the supreme ruler of the Fire Nation above the Hokage, and the Hokage only has military power, so the national symbol is the Daimyo rather than the Hokage.
So in foreign wars, it's still more important to get the consent of the daimyo.,Although if you don't have a signature, Konoha can fight if you want to.,But it's always a disadvantage.。
"There is indeed such a thing......
Tsunade still attaches great importance to this matter, and after thinking about it for a while, she said, "Choose a ninja with a good brain, bring fifty dark people to send the written documents to the daimyo, and 'explain' the importance of the matter to the daimyo, I believe the other party will understand." ”
Mute's eyes are straight, it's a threat, right? Fifty Shadow ...... The Hokage is telling the Daimyo, if you don't agree, even you will kill it?
Well, fifty shadows are really convincing, and then the daimyo would have no reason to disagree.
"Fifty ninjas? Tsunade-sama, this is coercion, it's a little ......" Shizune couldn't think of a suitable adjective for a while.
"Coercion, how come? The Hokage is a subordinate of the Daimyo, and sending out more shadows is just an expression of our determination to the Daimyo. Tsunade said lightly.
Well, it's certain, that's the coercion.
However, Shizune couldn't say anything more about this matter, so she could only do what Tsunade wanted, so she continued to ask, "Ninja with a good head...... Feather coat? ”
"Feather Coat...... Forget it, let Kakashi go. ”
The problem with the feather coat is that his head is a little too much, and although the results can be successful when he goes on a mission, there will always be some accidents in the process, what if he really kills the daimyo? Who is responsible?
"I see."
Kakashi's convincing power plus a lot of shadows was enough, and he completed the mission without any surprises, and in fact, he probably had no reason to object to signing the war book by saying something like "I'm proud of the card" to the Daimyo.
And a month later, of course, Yan Yin and Yun Yin didn't come out of the tail.
So the war began.
