Chapter 134: The War of Hanzang and Three Rejections
The second messenger sent to Yunyin. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In view of the current bad situation, Iwakuin could no longer ignore Yun Yin as hard as before, and had to retreat from his original position and make great concessions, hoping that Yun Yin would be able to enter the war immediately.
But just like Iwakuin will retreat from the initial position, time has changed, and Yun Yin, who is deeply concerned about the situation in the ninja world, has also found that Iwakure's weakness has also been discovered, if Yun Yin does not participate in the war, or even joins Konoha to fight against him, the anti-Konoha alliance will be defeated, so it is natural to move forward from the original position and put forward more requirements.
Yan Yin thinks that Yun Yin is taking advantage of the fire to rob and has no sincerity in negotiation, while Yun Yin believes that based on the current situation, all the conditions proposed by Yun Yin are extremely reasonable.
After all, this planet doesn't revolve around Yan Yin, so Yun Yin can't wronged himself and rescue Yan Yin in fire and water with a fearless spirit, right?
As a result, the negotiations reached an impasse, and Yun Yin finally did not send troops to Konoha as Iwakuin requested.
Yunyin this way, failure!
Of course, even if Yun Yin fails along the way, it will not involve the most critical turnaround plan, otherwise Yan Yin will not have the courage to bite the conditions so hard!
The Third Messenger travels to the Land of Rain.
The Land of Rain is the key point in Iwain's entire turnaround plan, which is as follows.
In Iwakuin's thoughts, the war has reached the current situation, and the reason why the anti-Konoha alliance looks like it is about to fail, and the misikin who fights soy sauce doesn't talk about it, and it's all tears when he talks too much.
The key is that Sha Yin suffered a fiasco in the decisive battle of Kikyo Mountain, and suffered heavy losses in strength, so he really couldn't beat Konoha . As for Iwakuin, the failure of the battle of the Kamino Bridge, the logistics supply system completely collapsed, and he was powerless to fight.
So, why can't Iwakuin and Shagakure join forces?
Iwakuin lacked war materials, but he didn't lose much in strength, and he didn't lose much at all. As for Shayin, the loss of strength is indeed too great, but the war materials are still quite abundant.
So, with the strength of Iwain and the war materials of Shayin, we can make use of our strengths and avoid weaknesses, complement each other's advantages, and won't victory still be expected?
However, the biggest problem for the two sides to fight together is trust, and how can the two sides win the trust of the other side.
For example, if Iwakuin wants to support the sand hire, which was beaten into the territory of the country by Konoha, then the Iwakushi troops who came to support must also enter the territory of the country of wind.
But in that case, both sides will have concerns.
For Sha Yin, the Iwa Ninja troops are here to support on the surface, but if they have other thoughts, such as colluding with Konoha together, then Sha Yin will be able to open the door and arrest the thief. If this kind of thing happens to you in your own country, then Shayin is probably not far from destruction.
For Iwakure, send the Iwa Shinobi troops to support the Sand Hide, but first, to fight in the territory of the Wind Country, and secondly, the logistics supply will definitely depend on the Sand Hide, if the Sand Yin secretly defects to Konoha at this time and fights back, then how bad will the Iwa Ninja troops face?
Regardless of which side has a problem, the consequences for the other side are so serious that no one is willing to take such a risk to fight together.
What, you said that Sha Yin and Iwakure are allies, and it is right to trust each other?
Oh my God, the forces with such a naïve mentality have long been drowned in the long river of history, and the height of Sand Yin and Iwakuin can be mixed to the height of the second of the five great ninja villages, all of which he meows are refined from countless conspiracies, betrayals and betrayals.
So, even if Iwakuin and Shagakure are allies, don't mention any trust, and pin your own safety on the noble character of your allies, right?
If everything in this world was so simple, then Sand and Iwakuin could join forces from the beginning of the war, and Konoha would not find a chance to turn the tables during the war, and Konoha would have been defeated as a matter of course.
But Iwain's plan to turn the tables can make Sha Yin and Iwakuin fight in a joint battle in such a situation where no one dares to really trust anyone, and the key lies in the Land of Rain.
If you look at the Hokage map, you can see that Iwakuin and Sand Hide fought in Konoha on the two battlefields of the North and South of the Land of Rain, although Sand Hide is currently being beaten into the Land of Wind by Konoha , but the middle is still separated by the core area of the Land of Rain led by Hanzo.
Once Hanzo joins the Anti-Konoha Alliance, open up the core area of the Land of Rain as a meeting point between Iwakuin and Sand Hide.
In this way, the joint operation of the two sides can be achieved, and at the same time, the distrust of the two sides can be avoided.
For Sha Yin, the location of the joint battle is in the Land of Rain, even if the rock Yin changes, then Sha Yin at least has time to react, which is enough for Sha Yin to cross the horizon.
For Iwakure, the location of the coalition is set in the Land of Rain, not in the home field of Shayin, and while enjoying the war materials provided by Shayin, you can also try your best to re-set a supply line just in case, so that even if Shayin fights back, Iwakuin can deal with it calmly.
When the success rate of betrayal decreases, the yield is not as expected, and the consequences of failure are severe, will betrayal happen again?
Since Iwakuin and Shayin both agree with this plan, they naturally think that the answer is no!
Because the dangerous balance reached under this mutual check-in is absolutely much more reliable than the so-called mutual trust!
The key now is Hanzo's attitude as the de facto ruler of the Land of Rain.
The Iwakure envoy met Hanzo.
After a simple greeting, the messenger didn't want to talk nonsense, and Hanzo didn't want to listen to the other party's nonsense, so he went straight to the point.
The envoy first told the joint forces battle plan, which was full of untruths, in short, the anti-Konoha alliance would win, and Konoha would be defeated.
On this basis, the envoy put forward various conditions, which were much better than those offered by Iwakure at the beginning of the war, and they were very material, so as to induce Hanzo to be tempted.
But the result was always Hanzo's unhesitating refusal, and it seemed that he was determined to be neutral to the end.
"I don't think we have much more to say. Because no matter what conditions you propose, I don't want to get involved in a war between the great powers, and the Land of Rain will always remain neutral!"
Hanzo put on a posture of sending off the guests, and seemed unwilling to talk about it anymore.
But the Iwakure envoy didn't care about Hanzo's resolute refusal at the moment, and opened the biggest hole card that Onoki had given him, so that he would definitely be able to complete the task!
"I think it's necessary for you to think again, we, Lord Tsuchikage, promised that once Konoha is defeated, we will cede a part of the land of the Fire Country to the Land of Rain as trophies, and support the Rain Ninja Village to be ranked with the five major ninja villages to become the sixth largest ninja village in the ninja world!"
This condition is so generous that even Hanzo, who has always been very resolute, couldn't help but be shocked, and there was obviously a look of intention in his expression.
――If you agree to the conditions set by the Iwakure envoy, then the country of rain can become a big country, and the rain ninja village can become the sixth largest ninja village, and it will no longer be a small force that can be bullied by a big country.
The envoy looked at Hanzo's expression, and the corners of his mouth were slightly smug, he knew that Hanzo could not refuse, and no small force could withstand this temptation.
In fact, the envoy himself felt that the conditions were too lucrative, and a small country like the Land of Rain did not deserve such treatment.
But since Iwakure, led by Ohnoki, put forward such a condition, it is natural that it has a purpose.
If the Land of Rain doesn't deserve such treatment, that's not necessarily true. After all, the country of rain has a lot to pay.
First of all, it is necessary to provide the core areas that have not been devastated by war as battlefields. Secondly, Hanzo's rain ninja power will also be thrown into the battlefield. Finally, the Rain Nation also needs to provide war materials.
This last point was especially important for Iwakure, after all, with another channel to provide war materials, Iwakure's logistics could avoid being completely constrained by Sand Cakure.
Moreover, it is much more convenient and pleasant to collect war materials from the Land of Rain than to ask for war materials from Sand Hide.
What, you don't give it? If you don't give it to me, you will collect war materials yourself!
What, you don't accept it? If you don't accept you, you'll bite me!
Of course, none of this will be said explicitly, but as long as Hanzo agrees to join the Anti-Konoha Alliance, everything will be in order.
Anyway, as long as Hanzo is not brainless, he will never dare to betray the Anti-Konoha Alliance, even if he betrays, after all, it is a small force, and Iwakure and Shayin will not be as tricky to solve as it is to solve each other's betrayal.
Of course, even the so-called favorable conditions are not certain, and who can say clearly what will happen in the future.
After all, things are always evolving, so let's look at things with a progressive perspective!
But no matter how beautiful Iwakure thinks, if you want your dream to come true, you have to nod your head.
Hanzo took a deep breath and threw himself back on the back chair, closing his eyes in contemplation, his mind returning to more than a decade ago.
At that time, although he did not have the title of 'demigod', he was already a powerful ninja in the world, and under his leadership, the Rain Ninja Village was thriving and becoming stronger day by day. Gradually, he was not satisfied with the status of Yunin Village, he wanted to make the village and the country stronger, have a higher status in the world, and make the people's lives better......
Therefore, he hopes to lead the Rain Ninja Village to become the sixth largest ninja village in the ninja world, and let his country rise to become a great country that can sit on an equal footing with the five great powers
After all, only if you are at the top of the food chain can you enjoy others, not be enjoyed by others.
However, the rise of a ninja village or even a country has never been a matter of one country alone, and it is more deeply involved in the interests of other countries, and the five ninja villages and the five major countries will not allow it, and if they want to break the current situation, it means war.
Since there is going to be war, then war is good, let the rain ninja village rise in the flames of war. This was the idea of the arrogant Hanzo at the time.
However, when he spoke out about his idea, hoping to gain support and put it into action, he was met with fierce opposition from the daimyo of Kawanokuni, who at the time was still part of Kawanokuni.
The daimyo said that if the Kawano Province and the Rain Ninja Village, which are located at the junction of the three major powers, have a mind that they should not have in vain and try to get involved in the war, they will definitely be attacked by the joint attacks of the great powers, and the country and the people will definitely suffer!
However, at that time, Hanzo was so arrogant that he thought that he could take advantage of the contradictions between the major powers to lead the country and the ninja village to rise, so even if he was firmly opposed by the daimyo, he still wanted to start a war.
You know, at that time, he was famous in the ninja world, and the rain ninja village he led was also thriving, and the people were also protected safely like never before, so Hanzo's prestige was very high, and even if the daimyo of Kawanokuni, who was the lord, was resolutely opposed, he couldn't stop him from having enough supporters.
Seeing this, the daimyo of Kawanokuni resorted to unprecedented drastic measures, preferring to separate the part of the country connected to the Three Kingdoms of Fire and Earth from his own country rather than get involved in war.
Such a resolute attitude towards the Daimyo of Kawanokuni, instead of making Hanzo have the slightest alarm, he secretly ridiculed the Daimyo for being cowardly and incompetent, and he unceremoniously accepted that part of the country, renamed it the Land of Rain in the name of the village's 'rain', and then resolutely launched a war.
However, in the end, the development of events proved how the choice of the daimyo of Kawanokuni was correct!
It is true that there are deep contradictions between the five powers, and it is true that they can join forces in them, but no matter how deep the contradictions are, it does not mean that they allow other ninja villages to rise up on an equal footing with them and seize the interests that belong to them. In particular, the Three Kingdoms of Fire and Terroir, which border the Land of Rain, are the most reluctant to see the Land of Rain rise!
At that time, the timing of the war chosen by Hanzo was not too much of a problem, and the major powers had been at war with each other for a long time, and their strength was greatly weakened, so the Land of Rain wanted to seize the opportunity to rise.
Every great power does not want to deal with the Rain Nation alone and waste its already heavy losses, but it cannot sit idly by and watch the Rain Nation rise.
What to do?
If you don't want to not only lose power, but also curb the rise of the Rain Country. So the choice of the major powers is very simple, that is, to place the battlefield in the country of rain.
In this way, you don't have to deal with the Rain Country alone, you can continue to fight with great power opponents, and finally you can destroy the war potential of the Rain Country by the way.
As a result, the Land of Rain, which was regarded as a battlefield between major powers, fell into bad luck, and the people lived in dire straits.
At that time, Hanzo also realized his mistake and tried his best to save it, trying to reconcile with the major powers, but once the war began, it would not end unless it was dark!
It's a pity that although Hanzo's strength is very strong, how much role can an individual play in a war? The strength of the ninja village and the huge gap in the country's comprehensive strength have caused Hanzo's rain country to suffer one after another crushing defeats!
Then, the sky of the Land of Rain was gloomy and rainy, and the spirit of the Rain Ninja Village was completely degraded from then on!
But now, more than ten years later, Hanzo, who had already given up his belief in leading the Rain Ninja Village to become the sixth largest ninja village and making the Land of Rain truly rise, has received a promise from Iwakure, and his wish back then has never been as close as it is now, as if as long as he nods and joins the alliance, everything will naturally become a reality!
Everything that Hanzo fought so hard to get back then seems to be easy to get now, is there anything more wonderful or even wonderful in the world?
But......
"I refuse!"
Hanzo opened his eyes, and he was shining.
"Very well, Hanzo-sama did a right one..."The confident smile of the Iwakure Messenger froze on his face, "What, what did you say?"
This is wrong, I have already done it wrong once, and now I must not repeat it!
Hanzo thought about it, and said with such a firm degree that he did not waver in the slightest: "There is nothing more to say, the Land of Rain will never get involved in the war again!"
"Hanzo, do you know what this means? Iwakure's will cannot be refused......
The envoy was shocked, and he no longer used any honorific titles, and even did not hesitate to issue a stern threat.
"You, now you can go back to the business! Tell Onoki that we don't want to fight, but we are not afraid of fighting!"
Hanzo's expression was cold, and his eyes glared at the messenger, his will unshakable.
