Chapter XVI: Prelude to War

A building in the center of Caoyin Village, in a conference room underground. Ura Jiujian sat in the position of representing the leader at the top, and looked at the patriarchs of the major families below, especially the patriarch of the Kusa Qianyi clan who was in the first place, and a faint sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of my gathering today, many of you may have already guessed! At the beginning of this ninja war, I said that Kusakure Village would participate in this war depending on the situation, and now, the time is ripe for war. I decided that Kusakuin Village would join the war against Konoha. Thinking it was time, Ura began to speak.

"Well, that's right. Now Konoha in the Land of Fire is besieged by the four major ninja villages of Cloud Hidden Village, Sand Hidden Village, Fog Hidden Village, and Iwain Village. There is no hope of victory in this war in Konoha, and it is time for us to join this war for the benefit of the Grass Country. The patriarch of a small family began.

Cao Qianyu glanced at him, the person who had just spoken was the patriarch of a small family attached to the Yuliang family. Over the years, under the secret instruction of the Urashi family, he has often disagreed with himself at the family joint meeting.

"That's right, take advantage of the fact that Konoha is at a low point now, and unite with other ninja villages to wage war against Konoha to seize Konoha's resources and land, and strengthen the country of grass."

"It is not harmful to join the war now, and I support Ura-sama's proposal."

"I also agree"

"Seconded"

......

The various families attached to the Urashi clan seconded and agreed. Cao Qianyu glanced at the remaining patriarchs of the family who did not speak, they were all conservative factions of the village, and they always didn't care about the power struggle in the village and the war with the outside world. They knew that their family had a few catties and taels, so they did not participate in the struggle for power, but the pride of the family also made them unwilling to attach themselves to the Yuliang family. The Kusa Thousand Clan had also tried to win them over, but they didn't choose the Ura Clan, who was in charge of the Grass Hidden Village, let alone the Grass Thousand Clan, who were excluded.

Listening to the sound of pandering below, Urashi Kumi, who was sitting at the top, seemed to enjoy the atmosphere very much. However, looking at Cao Qianyu below, he was still a little unhappy in his heart.

"Patriarch Cao Qianyu, you seem to have any different opinions? I wonder if you can talk about it? "Yu Liang Jiujian actually asked Cao Qianyu a question. But after being an opponent for such a long time, how could Cao Qianyu not know what he wanted to do! However, Cao Qianyu still has to stand up and express his opinion.

"Located in the middle of the continent, the Land of Fire is rich in products and resources, and is the richest of the five great powers. And Konoha is attached to the Fire Country, which is strongly supported by the Daimyo of the Fire Country, and maintains a large ninja army. From the beginning of the village, it has been the first ninja village in the ninja world, and a single ninja village is not Konoha at all. Although the current Konoha is under siege by the four major ninja villages, it has not reached the point of exhaustion. At the same time, there is no clear covenant between the four ninja villages, and the four ninja villages are also full of various contradictions. Such four ninja villages joined forces to besiege Konoha, and no one knew what would happen in the middle, and even Konoha might be the one who won the final victory. Therefore, I am against the participation of the Grass Hidden Village in this war, and even more so against the war against Konoha. ”

After speaking, ignoring the reactions of others, Cao Qianyu sat down. Kusa Qianyu was thinking about the information that Kusa Qiannako had collected outside. If the information is true, it will be an unprecedented disaster for the Kusa Thousand Clan. Although he has prepared measures to deal with it, if possible, Cao Qianyu is unwilling to take this step no matter what.

Ura Jiujian was not surprised by Cao Qianyu's opposition, in his opinion, this was the normal reaction that Cao Qianyu should have.

Although Ura Hisashi did not speak out against it, the families below who were attached to the Ura clan could not just stop talking.

"Konoha has become like this, and Lord Kusa Qianyu still thinks that they have the ability to turn the tables? It is worthy of the family that moved from the country of fire, and when Konoha was facing destruction, they still refused to seek benefits for the country of grass, and they still remembered the country of fire in their hearts! Sure enough, the patriarch of the small family who was the first to echo Yu Liang Jiujian just now began to sarcastically at this moment, Cao Qianyu.

As soon as he spoke, the various families attached to the Yuliang clan began to denounce Cao Qianyu, as if Cao Qianyu had committed a big mistake, and he was about to become the first sinner since the establishment of Caoyin Village.

Cao Qianyu ignored the buzzing of those flies, he knew that this was just a cutscene, and Ura Jiujian couldn't change the things he decided in Caoyin Village at all. But even so, he still had to say his opinion.

"Okay, okay, after all, everyone is from the same village, there is no need to quarrel like this. Patriarch Cao Qianyu 'maybe' is also thinking about Caoyin Village. Ura Hisashi seemed to be very happy to see such a situation, and when he felt that it was almost over, he finally interrupted his denunciation of Cao Qianyu.

"However, I have already decided on the matter of starting a war against Konoha, and the messenger sent to Iwakure has also sent back the news. The Rock Hidden Village has agreed to form an alliance with our Grass Hidden Village. Iwakure will send an elite ninja force to us, and the two sides will converge to form a coalition. Hearing this, a haze flashed in Cao Qianyu's heart, are the Yuliang clan ready? Although he could deduce a rough idea from the news he had gotten from Kusachinako, he still didn't want to believe that this was going to happen.

"Since there is a lot of open space around the Kusa Qianyi Clan's station, when the time comes, the Iwakushi Ninja Station will be arranged near the Kusa Qianyi Clan's station, right?" seemed to be asking Cao Qianyu, but Cao Qianyu knew that he had no reason and had no way to object.

.......

The Land of Fire, Konoha Hidden Village. In a conference room, the four of them, Miyo, Shimura Danzo, Mito Menyan, and Koharu Koharu, gathered together. The four people who represent the supreme power of the Konoha Hidden Village in the Land of Fire are gathered at this moment, which means that something big is going to happen.

There was silence for a while, and the three generations of Hokage finally spoke to break the silence.

"Let's all talk about what to do now, right? The message conveyed by that Kusa Chinako should be unmistakable. After all, no family has been forced to this point and is still indifferent. ”

"I think you can agree to the conditions of the grass thousand clan. Now that the Kusakure Village has decided to go to war against Konoha, we don't have to worry about anything anymore. Moreover, this matter is beneficial to Konoha and harmless, just enough to use the hands of the Kusa Senyi clan to weaken some of Iwakuin and Kusakure's combat power, so that they can contribute to the next war. Tuan Zang said aside.

But at this moment, his mind turned to the Uchiha clan. The third generation of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash cannot inherit the darkness of the second generation Hokage, so he has to hide in the darkness to protect Konoha. The Uchiha clan is the Kusachi-chore Kusachi-chi clan to Konoha and the misfit Uchiha clan is a bomb that will explode at any time for Konoha at any time. Although the two sides will be on opposite sides because of the upcoming war, Danzou admires Ura's approach very much. The same should be done to deal with the Uchiha, and to erase all instability is what it is necessary for one, the root deeply rooted in darkness, to do it.

Mito Menyan and Zhuan Koharu looked at each other, and then Zhuan Koharu said: "The two of us agree with Tuan Zang's opinion, since Kusain Village has decided to start a war against Konoha, why don't you want the benefits that are sent to the door?" In such a time of crisis, it is one point to be able to strengthen one's own side, and one point to be able to weaken the enemy."

"But, isn't this too cruel to the Cao Qian clan?" The third generation said with some unbearable feelings.

"The conditions were put forward by the grass thousand clan themselves, and we didn't force them. Since it was their own decision, it meant that it was the best outcome for them. Tuan Zang replied.

Now that the two advisors and Tuanzang have spoken out, it seems that this meeting should also be over.
