Among the six great countries in the ninja world, Takino Country has always been the most special, or embarrassing, country.

The land of the land of Takino Kuni is located between the land of fire, the land of thunder and the land of earth, and it is also very close to the country of wind and water. The area is relatively small compared to several other large countries, but the degree of economic development is no different from that of the Fire Country. In addition, the area where his capital and Shinobi Village are located can be said to be the most suitable area for agriculture on the entire continent due to its abundant water resources and abundant sunlight, and has always been coveted by the surrounding countries.

In addition, Takino Country has no strategic depth, and it has always been threatened by the wars of various powers, and various places have been heavily infiltrated by surrounding countries. Coupled with the fact that the core of the country was located at one end of the country rather than in the middle, the central government was unable to suppress the distant local princes, and the trend of separation between the regions became more and more serious.

Even, in the eastern part of Taki-no-Kuni, which is close to the land of thunder, the decrees of the daimyo can no longer be carried out here.

Not only that, but internally, the village of Taki, which protects the country of Taki, has also been lacking in high-end force. The strongest ninja named "Kakuto" has also been very tense with the higher-ups of Takikure Village.

And people like Kakudu naturally have a large number of admirers and followers in the village. Therefore, the interior of Takikure Village can also be said to be turbulent. Recently, several high-ranking officials have died inexplicably in assassinations, which is also full of fog.

As for the tailed beasts, although in the distribution of tailed beasts presided over by the first Hokage Senju Pillar in Konoha Hidden Village, Takikure Village obtained the only seven-tailed Shigeaki among the tailed beasts with the ability to fly, but at this time, the research on tailed beasts in the major ninja villages was still quite immature, and it was difficult to put the tailed beasts into the actual war. For example, this situation is like a country in the world in which the water has no moon in the previous life, and it has nuclear weapons but no long-range ballistic missiles, which can only serve as a preliminary deterrent.

Even, for Konoha Hidden Village, which has the two major ninja clans of Senju and Uchiha, the tailed beast may not even have a deterrent effect. First, the Konoha Hidden Village itself has the strongest nine-tailed beast, and secondly, although these two clans have not appeared on the surface of Mu Dun and Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eyes over the years, other big countries will inevitably have some doubts.

In such a situation that can be said to be internal and external troubles, the elites of Takino Country and Takiyin Village will naturally not sit still. It's just that the country of Takanoki itself is a big country, where would it be willing to give up too many national interests. In addition, if there are too many sales, it will also lead to internal instability.

Under such circumstances, after thinking about it for a long time, the high-level leaders of Taki-no-Kuni set their sights on a hidden village located in the southwest of Taki-no-kuni, Yuyin Village.

First of all, the leader of Yuyin Village, Hanzo, is a man known as a "demigod". After the death of the Thousand Hands Pillar of Konoha Hidden Village and Madara Uchiha, as well as the death of the first generation of leaders of the major ninja villages, the weight of this name is still very heavy.

Again, under Hanzo's leadership, although Yuyin Village is small, it has accumulated a group of elite ninjas over the years. Although elite ninjas at the top are still rare, there are quite a few elite mid-level commanders.

The geopolitical environment of the Land of Rain is even worse than that of the Land of Taki, its own strength is weak, and its territory borders on the four major countries, and border conflicts abound and erupt from time to time. Therefore, this is the only fortunate thing for the Land of Rain.

Therefore, since three years ago, Takino Country began to send various people to Yuyin Village through various channels to test Hanzo's mind, and last year, there were high-level leaders of Takiyin Village who privately went to Yuyin Village to meet Hanzo, hoping that Takiyin Village and Yuyin Village could "cooperate deeply".

As for Yuyin Village, including Hanzo, he naturally did not want to accept Takiyin Village's proposal. With the growing tendency of local separatism within the country of Taki, and the frequent conflicts with the surrounding powers, in the eyes of everyone, the country of Takino has become a large ship that is about to capsize, although gorgeous.

However, the straightforward rejection of Takiyin Village is not in the consideration of the top management of Yuyin Village. Without him, for Yuyin Village, Takiyin Village is still a behemoth after all, and it belongs to the category that cannot be provoked. Therefore, although he was reluctant in his heart, Hanzo also refused to give an answer to the lobbying team of Takikure Village.

Recently, as the situation within the country of Taki-no-kuni evolved, in the end, after consulting with the high-level leaders of Taki-no-kuni Village, it was decided to embark on a military adventure, trying to try a ninja world version of "blitzkrieg" against Yu-no-kuku.

In their deduction, as long as Takiyin Village can unexpectedly control the entire territory of the Rain Country in a short period of time, and then move Hanzo himself with affection and reason, the high-level officials of Rain Hidden Village should reach an "understanding" with Takino Country in a "knowledgeable way". In the end, Takiyin Village will be able to smoothly obtain a large number of elite grassroots commanders in Yuyin Village.

In fact, the high-level leaders of Taki-no-Kuni and Taki-Hide Village are not unaware that their plan is full of loopholes, the attitude of the high-level leaders of Yuyin Village is unpredictable, the possible reactions of the surrounding countries are also unpredictable, and there are some problems that may appear in the course of the battle within Taki-Yin Village. All of this casts a shadow over this military adventure.

It's just that the current high-level leaders of Takino Country and Takihide Village are about to be driven to a state of madness. Even the top leaders of an island country far away overseas, such as the Land of Water, have already guessed that a new ninja war is about to break out, and the feeling of being in the center of the continent and surrounded by many countries will only become stronger.

Although the elites of Taki-no-kuni and Taki-Hide Village have not yet been able to deduce at what point in the future war will break out, they can feel that war is imminent.

Eventually, the plan, which was almost cobbled together, was rushed into action and executed at a speed that almost reached the limit of the administrative efficiency of Takino Kuni.

The Land of Rain is rainy all year round, and there are naturally no stars and no moon at night, so a large number of ninjas from Takikure Village arrived at the Takiyu border in batches according to the plan, and then temporarily stationed here, waiting for the order to attack or retreat.

In a dense forest at the border, several Takikushi ninjas in strong suits surrounded a middle-aged man in a black robe, who was watching from a distance in the direction of the land of rain, which was also pitch black.

At this moment, a ninja came up to the side of a ninja standing on the edge of the group and whispered a word to the latter.

The latter agreed, and then came to the center position, and in front of many ninjas, said to the middle-aged man standing in the center: "Your Highness, the preliminary reconnaissance has been completed, and the obstacles on the border have been cleared. ”
