Chapter 519: Advance and Retreat
The materials transported by the Earth Country are decreasing day by day, and what is the current situation facing Iwakuin, although the dozen or so elites present do not know everything, they can still understand the general situation.
Because of this, everyone shook their heads at Onoki in unison, signaling that they and the others had no opinions to mention.
Only the first person sitting on Onoki's left hand, a Chinese character face with a serious expression and a slightly chubby figure Iwa Shinobu looked at Onoki and said in a deep voice:
"Father, do you want to take the initiative to negotiate with Konoha?"
This person is the son of Onoki, a genius ninja who is about twenty years old this year.
Taking the initiative to negotiate means that Iwakuin takes the lead in surrendering, and to some extent it can also be seen as surrender, although Onoki doesn't think that Iwakuin really can't beat Konoha, but the national strength of the land country is not as good as that of the country of fire, and the gap from logistics is almost impossible to make up.
Therefore, it was not Iwakushi who lost to Konoha, but the land of earth who lost to the country of fire, and this concept was deeply engraved in Onoki's thinking, and it was as unshakable as a hard rock.
As for the possibility, the threat from the Lei Luo Group was decisively expelled from Ohnogi's mind at this moment: he wouldn't admit that he was afraid......
The above thoughts flashed through his mind, Onoki raised his hand and coughed, first nodded slowly to his son, and then explained aloud as if nothing happened:
"The current internal situation in Konoha, I think everyone should have heard of it, the Hokage faction led by Sarutobi Hichi, and the martial arts faction led by Lei Luo, there will be a battle between them in the near future."
"Based on previous intelligence, I have deeply analyzed the comparison of combat power between these two factions, and finally I can come to a conclusion......
"Konoha's internal dispute this time, the personnel and materials involved, including the scale and intensity of the conflict, are likely to be no less than a regular ninja village battle."
Seeing that the Iwa ninja present all showed a look of listening attentively, obviously very interested in Konoha, the great enemy of Iwakure for many years, and the turmoil that was about to break out within it, Onoki couldn't help but smile slightly and continued:
"At this time, I'm sure Ape Flying Sunslash would definitely want to end the war sooner than we do, so as to deal with the threat of Relo's faction as soon as possible."
"Therefore, in a situation where the war must not be won, we Iwakure might as well give this third-generation Hokage of Konoha a step down, so that he can spare his hands to make more preparations."
"After all, the worse the Konoha mess, the better it will be for us Iwakure."
Onoki's strategy is nothing more than to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and at the same time, with the help of the grim situation that Konoha is facing now, quickly drag Iwakure out of the quagmire of war, so as to leave enough vitality to implement the next strategic plan.
At this time, it can be said that one advance is better than one retreat, and Onoki believes that as long as he can take the lead in expressing his intention to negotiate peace, Sarutobi will definitely come over to sign the agreement.
In this way, even if they Iwakure are defeated, Konoha will not make any excessive demands, and there is a high probability that they will not even ask for war reparations.
After all, the situation is here, and if Sarutobi doesn't cut through the mess quickly, his Hokage seat, and even his own life, may be lost.
The battle of Ishikawa Hill completely revealed the strength of the Lei Luo Group, and many people in Konoha must not be able to sit still at this time, right?
On the side, after listening to Onoki's analysis, Loess nodded thoughtfully, with a somewhat emotional expression: The Second Ninja World War seems to be coming to an end, but the conflict seems to never stop.
In today's ninja world, perhaps the most striking thing is the dispute between the two factions in Konoha.
Will the winner of the Second Ninja World War, the overlord of the Great Ninja Village, come to an end because of this fierce dispute, or will he be reborn from it......
At the moment, no one can say for sure.
……
More than half a month has passed since the Battle of Ishikawa Hill, and Lei Luo did not rush to use force against Sarutobi, but led an army of more than 3,000 ninjas and temporarily stationed in the capital of Kawanokuni.
In the name of the outside world, it is in view of the gift that the daimyo of Kawanokuni once sent, and he made a due return gift, which is the current visit.
As for the real reason, all of Lei Luo's descendants are very clear: their leader is waiting, waiting for the battlefield on the Rain Country side to completely calm down, and the peace agreement between Konoha and Rain Hidden Iwakuin has been signed.
At that time, that is, the day the army was launched, when the Lei Luo Group pointed its sword at the Hokage Department, as for the Fog Hidden Battlefield, no one cared about it at this time.
The capital of Kawanokuni is surrounded by walls about three meters high and five meters thick, and unlike the castle walls of Vortex Village, which are designed to protect against ninjas, the castle here is more of a symbol of history and culture.
They may still be useful until the Chakra era, but in a world where ninjas have a monopoly on military power, these walls are at best a show.
The area of the capital of Kawanokuni is similar to that of Konoha Village, but it is undoubtedly much more prosperous than the uninhabited wilderness, and the rows of buildings and the various commercial establishments that are bustling with people seem to indicate that the country is not poor.
At the very least, it's stronger than the Land of Rain.
On the bustling streets, you can see Konoha ninjas coming and going everywhere, or eating and drinking in restaurants, or traveling together, or relaxing in some entertainment venues, and the overall atmosphere with the people of Kawanokuni seems to be relatively harmonious.
The reason why the Konoha ninjas appeared here is mainly because the camp of Kawanokuni was completely destroyed by the sand ninja troops led by Monzaemon, and sleeping in the wild for a long time is not a way, Lei Luo feels that he has to wait, so it is better to simply arrange all his subordinates to stay in Kawanokuni.
After the battle, relaxation is also the right thing to do, and for some details, Lei Luo didn't have the idea of returning to Konoha too early, so he found a place to relax for the ninjas under his command nearby, which can be regarded as a little relief from their tense nerves.
As for whether this will cause misunderstanding of the Daimyo of Kawanokuni, Lei Luo feels that it will not be after he and the other party clarify the situation, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides is like a moat, and a country without the existence of ninja villages, what can it do to resist the power of more than 3,000 elite Konoha ninjas?
Kawanokuni, just stay honestly.
It's just that although the truth is simple and easy to understand, it still has to be discussed, after all, Lei Luo still has some things he wants to talk to the daimyo of Kawanokuni, and he just took the opportunity of this explanation to finish it.
