Chapter 70: Shimura Tunzo

Although the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth did not form any covenant or anything like that on the surface, it is clear that the two countries sent troops at the same time, so naturally there was a certain tacit understanding behind the scenes.

These two countries occupy the southwest and northwest of the entire continent respectively, and their land area is the first and second largest among the mainland countries. Therefore, the simultaneous deployment of troops by both countries immediately caused a sensation throughout the continent.

This means that, on the bright side, there are already other great powers that are officially ready to intervene in the battle of Takiyu.

Of course, Takino Kuni was originally considered to be among the great powers. It's just that the geographical location of the country of Takano is too poor, and it has been attacked by several countries at the same time, and it has been seriously infiltrated by the country of fire over the years, so it is generally believed that it will soon fall out of the table of the big countries.

Located in the Land of Wind, the Sand Hidden Village is known for its elite ninjas, and its village's research on puppetry and poisons is well-known throughout the ninja world, and its overall strength is second only to Konoha Hidden Village.

It is precisely because of the restriction of Sand Hidden Village, so in the distribution of tailed beasts presided over by Konoha Hidden Village, Sand Hidden Village only got one Guardian Crane.

Located in the land of the earth, the terrain of the country is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the ninjas are especially good at large army operations, and the ninjas of the ninja village are known for their collective spirit, and they are also a presence that should not be underestimated on the battlefield.

The armies of the two countries did not make direct contact on the surface, but entered the Land of Rain from the southwest and northwest directions, respectively, and then stationed not far from the battle of Takiyu. In such a situation, the local garrison officials of the country of rain naturally did not dare to accuse each other, and the ninjas of the two hidden villages of Takiyu also felt thorns in their backs, so with the stationing of the armies of the two countries, Takiyu had further achieved a truce.

After that, the high-level leaders of the Land Country and the Land of Wind finally spoke out, saying that they would "mediate" between the Land of Taki-no-Na and the Land of Rain, and the "small friction" between Taki-no-Kakure Village and Yu-Yin Village.

And the first to react to the statements of these two countries was not the country of Taki-no-kuni and the country of rain, which were the parties to the party, but the country of fire next to it.

Officials of the Land of Fire vehemently accused the Land of Wind and Earth of being "ill-intentioned" and "wantonly trampling on the dignity of the Land of Taki-no-no-Taki and the Land of Rain", and expressed their support for the Land of Taki-no-Na and the Land of Rain to resist the "blatant invasion" of the Land of Wind and Earth.

Konoha Hidden Village actively responded to the statement of the high-level of the Fire Country, and immediately sent a large number of Konoha ninjas directly into the Land of Rain to confront the combined ninja warrior armies of the Land of Wind and Earth, and various small-scale frictions occurred from time to time.

It's no wonder that the Fire Nation reacted so violently.

Although the Fire Country is located in the center of the continent, it does not border any major country except for Taki's foreign countries. This, in turn, is also very effective in saving the Fire Nation a large amount of defense spending, allowing it to concentrate on its internal development.

And the armies of the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain are stationed in the Land of Rain, which directly touches the bottom line of the Land of Fire.

Although the Fire Country is rich and Konoha is strong, the other big countries on the continent are not vegetarians. The Land of Rain is located at the junction of the Land of Fire, the Land of Taki, the Land of the Wind and the Land of Earth.

If the armies of the Land of Wind and Earth are stationed in the Land of Rain, the Land of Fire will immediately deploy a large number of ninjas and soldiers in this direction to guard against the surprise attack of the two Kingdoms of Wind and Earth. In the long run, the Land of Fire is also in danger of falling into a situation of being slowly consumed, just like the Land of Taki.

Besides, when that time comes, will the land of thunder and the country of water be indifferent?

Thousands of miles of embankment, collapsed in the anthill. As soon as the armies of the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth entered the Land of Fire, the elites of the Land of Fire immediately saw the huge threat to the Land of Fire behind the actions of the two countries, and wrote to the Daimyo asking the Daimyo to immediately "help" the Land of Rain to expel the two countries from the territory of the Land of Rain.

In the entire ninja world, if you want to talk about the relationship between the ninja villages of the major countries and the daimyo of their countries, the best ones are probably the Fire Country and Konoha Hidden Village. Perhaps the impression left by the original Hokage Thousand Hands Pillar on the royal family of the Fire Country was too deep, so the Fire Country was very accommodating to Konoha Hidden Village. And Konoha Hidden Village is to use powerful force to fight for the interests of the Fire Country, so the two can be regarded as happy.

In other countries, on the other hand, conflicts between the daimyo and the ninja village have always occurred from time to time. Even like the Land of Water, the leader of the ninja village dared to kill the Daimyo, which is the extreme embodiment of this contradiction.

Therefore, as soon as the high-level leaders of the Fire Country made a decision, the current Hokage Senju Kakuma of Konoha Hidden Village immediately dispatched a large number of ninjas to the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire, and handed them over to the command of his disciple Shimura Danzo, and instructed Shimura Danzo not to let the troops of the Land of Wind and Earth enter the border of the Land of Fire.

And for Shimura Danzo, it is obviously a pie falling from the sky.

Corresponding to the direction of the next Hokage's rival Sarutobi Hizashi who mainly operates in the direction of the Vortex Country, the main focus of Shimura Danzou and his followers is in the direction of the Land of Rain.

Surrounded by several large powers, the geopolitical environment of the Land of Rain, although it can be said to be extremely harsh, has also brought a strange kind of "vitality" to the country.

Many small ninja families who are not accepted by the various ninja villages, as well as ninjas who defect from the large ninja village for various reasons, most of them eventually choose to gather here.

Other powers are afraid that a large-scale operation here could provoke complex and uncontrollable reactions, so they generally don't send too many high-level ninjas to carry out missions here. After a long time, this place has become a three-way zone, where battles and murders are staged all the time.

And this time, the ninja delegation sent by Konoha Hidden Village was originally in charge of Shimura Danzo, and at this time, the Hokage handed him a huge army, which was naturally something he couldn't ask for.

If you want to compete with Sarutobi for the position of Hokage's heir, you naturally need to make achievements. And this unit is the start-up capital for Shimura Danzo to "make achievements".

However, at this time, Shimura Danzou was not in a good mood.

Looking at the report in his hand, Shimura Danzo's face was gloomy, and he said unhappily to the people standing on the side: "This Yuyin is really too ignorant, Lord Ben is kind enough to help them, they don't understand Lord Ben's kindness, and they even openly attack and kill my Konoha ninja." ”

The subordinates beside him responded: "What the adults said is extremely true. However, my lord, since Yuyin's side has rejected our proposal, you see, we will continue to ......"
