Chapter 172: Who Could It Be?

Evening.

The front line of the battle against Iwakure.

Headquarters.

The messenger sent the good news from Konoha to Kakashi, and after carefully reading it, the famous copy ninja was also amazed.

"The Land of Water has been captured?"

Unbelievable.

At present, the development of the war situation on his side is not going well, although he captured some strategic points of the enemy army in the early stage of the war, now it is only a stalemate.

There is no way, the enemy army has the advantage of strength, and Konoha can only defend passively at present, and now as long as he can hold the defense line and hold the occupied area, it will be a victory.

Don't think about taking the initiative.

But......

"The troops over there are also at a disadvantage, but they took the initiative from the beginning and burned the flames of war to the land of water, and now they have almost completely captured the country of water......"

It's amazing.

It is unbelievable that a young girl who has never experienced a large-scale war and has never commanded troops before can do this.

"How did she do it?"

……

The other side.

Nara Shikahisa was also thinking about the same problem as Kakashi, the development of this war was something that he had not thought of before, and the entire ninja world would be amazed.

But for these commanders, now is not the time to sigh, but to learn something from the Battle of the Water Country.

"Proactive ......"

Nara Shikahisa once again considered this matter, because he felt that it might be the key, and the reason why Shiro went so smoothly was because he had the initiative.

From the time when Konoha was founded, from the time of the first Hokage, Konoha has pursued a strategy of war based on defense, and will only fight back after being attacked.

Until now, this concept has not changed, and the Fourth Ninja World War has begun, but it is still Konoha that other ninja villages attack first.

Kakashi's side didn't have much desire to attack, and his side had always just wanted to stabilize the battle line, and no one from the commander to the battle ninja had ever thought of fighting back.

White is different.

She took an offensive strategy from the beginning, and at the beginning, maybe the ninjas below would oppose and react passively, but after all, she attacked.

Then, they won, and the first time it was a big victory, and they made it to the Land of Water and stood firm, and they have been winning battles ever since.

People change.

After a victory, you want to win bigger; After winning once, you want to keep winning; After the attack, it is the attack.

The troops commanded by Shiro, as well as the other Konoha ninja troops, have undergone earth-shaking changes in their thinking, and they have a strong desire to attack.

The Land of Fire has a lot of resources, a large population, and the development of all aspects is also very good, and the comprehensive national strength is the strongest in the Ninja Continent, so Konoha is also the strongest in terms of comprehensive strength.

However, due to the defensive policy, the Konoha ninja troops lacked the desire to attack, and they could not well convert their comprehensive national strength into the combat effectiveness of the ninja troops.

So before that, although Konoha was known as the first ninja village, in terms of the combat effectiveness of the ninja troops alone, it was estimated that it could only rank in the middle of the five ninja villages.

Now it's different.

The Konoha ninja troops, which are full of offensive desires, can well transform the comprehensive national strength of the Fire Nation into combat effectiveness, and can also give full play to their individual strength.

It's like the Konoha ninja troops that have been lifted and exported with all their might, and their combat effectiveness is extremely terrifying, just like a certain eagle-chan in a certain world.

War has turned into a contest of comprehensive national strength.

In a certain world, it can be said that anyone who has studied this seriously knows this, but here in the ninja world, there are very few people who can understand this.

Nara Shikaku is very smart, and he is a top presence in the entire ninja world, and can be a military advisor to Konoha and even a ninja joint army like in the original books.

But that's about it.

In terms of tactics, he is an extremely good person, and in terms of strategy, he is no different from ordinary commanders, so he can only be a military advisor, not a commander.

"Alas......"

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with any effective solutions, and in the end he just sighed, just hoping that Tsunade could send him more reinforcements as soon as possible.

At least half of the forces of the Triple Alliance are concentrated here.

……

Outside.

Not to mention the troubles and worries of the commanders, others don't think about it so much, and when the news of the capture of the Water Country came, everyone was stunned for a long time.

"Wow!"

Then, the entire front line, and even the entire Fire Country, boiled, and the ninjas cheered, sweeping away the previous decline, and the people also cheered, and the whole country celebrated.

This is an unprecedented victory.

A long time ago, the Ninja Continent was divided into various vassal states, and the countries conquered each other, which slowly evolved into a situation where the five great powers competed against each other.

Later, the ninjas and ninja families attacked each other, and the entire continent was in flames, and I don't know how long it lasted until the first Hokage established Konoha Village.

Since then, the ninja world has entered the era of ninja villages, and as long as there are ninjas, ninja villages have basically been established, and peace has basically been achieved in each country.

Instead, there were larger-scale ninja wars, with tens of thousands of ninjas fighting on the mainland, and in just a few decades, there were three ninja wars.

This is the fourth time.

In the previous wars, whether it was the previous competition between the major powers or the later competition in the ninja village, the five major powers have always stood tall and continued until now.

The land of water.

This country, which has been inherited to this day, was crushed by Konoha not long after the start of the Fourth Ninja World War, under the circumstances that no one expected.

This is just the beginning.

The era of the five great powers ruling the world is coming to an end, the old order has been broken, a new order will be established on the ruins, and a new era will come.

So the question arises: who will be the ruler of the new era?

God knows.

Except for a few who saw far away, no one would think about such a question now, the Fire Nation was cheering, and the other nations were shocked and silent.

Along with the news of the fall of the Land of Water, there is another name in the ninja world: Shiro.

A young girl.

But it's this little-known girl who has done what many predecessors have not been able to do, no matter who wins in the end, she will be famous through the ages.

But now, the carnival continues, and the war continues.

……

Konoha.

Tsunade receives Temari and Matsuri in the office.

"You."

She pointed to the sacrifice.

"Tomorrow you can leave Konoha and return to Shayin, help me bring a word, saying that Konoha still has the sincerity to form a military alliance with your Shayin Village."

If you want to say anything, you don't need a little girl to talk, but the matter has not been resolved, and the messenger of Shayin has withdrawn, and the contact has been broken.

Obviously, the Sand Hidden side does have the intention of giving up Temari, after all, compared to the interests of the entire village, the daughter of the previous generation of Kazekage is nothing.

However, on the surface, he still released cruel words: either Konoha will release people as soon as possible, or start a war with Konoha at all costs.

"Me?"

Unable to believe it, Matsuri pointed to himself and looked at Temari who was standing next to him, not understanding why she was asked to go back instead of letting Temari go back.

Temari can understand: she is a hostage.

Yes.

Although Shagakure may have given up on her, it was only the upper echelons, and the ninjas at the middle and lower levels would not know about this, and the upper echelons would not dare to say such things.

Otherwise, he was united all day long, but when it came to the end, he gave up his partner, and she was also the daughter of the previous generation of Kazekage, what did this make the ninjas below?

Therefore, as long as Konoha holds his hand in his hand, Sha Yin will always have some rat traps, and unless it is a last resort, it will not completely break up.

Of course, there are other possibilities.

Let's not talk about that.

Faced with Matsuri's inquiring eyes, Temari just nodded in agreement, and although Satsumi didn't understand, he was relieved when he saw her nodding and turned his head to look at Tsunade.

"I see."

"Hmm."

Tsunade nodded, then looked at Temari.

"You ......"

After a moment's thought, he continued.

"I'll arrange a place for you to stay, and you will still be a guest here in the future until Sha Yin makes a decision."

Originally, I wanted to let Temari go back to Qingming, but after thinking about it, I gave up, otherwise I don't know how Qingming would "play" this poor girl.

"Okay."

Tetsuki replied.

Her life and death depend on what kind of decision Sha Yin makes, if she chooses to investigate the matter clearly, and then continue to form an alliance with Konoha, she will naturally survive.

On the other hand, she was afraid that she would have to die.
