Chapter 297: Reality is Fiction
After a meeting between the Daimyo and the Tsuchikage, Iwa Shinobi Village began a tentative attack and harassment of the Land of Wind at the behest of Onoki.
Of course, the Sand Ninja Village will not sit idly by and ignore this, and before Maki returns to the village, Chiyo and Ebizo, who stayed behind, mobilized the elite of the Sand Ninja Village to the front line, and did not hesitate to give a counterattack, forcing the invading enemy back to the Bird Country and the Bear Country sandwiched between the two countries, showing the determination and combat power of the Sand Ninja Village.
According to the strategy agreed between Echizen Kazuya and Nara Shikahisa, Konoha Village took a tough attitude to protest against the invasion of Iwa Shinobi Village into the Land of Wind, and also sent Onoki a letter written by Echizen Kazuya himself, advising Onoki to immediately stop the attack on the Land of Wind, and made it clear that if Onoki insisted on going his own way and did not listen to dissuasion, Konoha Village would use force to help Sand Ninja Village.
"This is a letter from Konoha Village asking us to stop fighting immediately, so take a look at it." Receiving Echizen Kazuya's harshly worded letter, Onoki looked at it and said quietly, handing the letter to the loess at the beginning.
Loess looked at the letter, his face became solemn, and he read it carefully before handing it to the people below.
"The fifth generation Hokage of Konoha Village, the little doll called Echizen Kazuya has a good handwriting, much better than the Ape Flying Sun Chop, you can learn and learn!" When everyone read the letter, Onoki said with a pleasant face.
"Tsuchikage-sama, the Hokage's letter is very harshly worded, and it seems that the attitude is very clear, so we must be on guard!" Loess said in a solemn tone.
"Humph! He also underestimated our Iwa Shinobi Village too much, do they think that a few words can make us give up? After reading Echizen Kazuya's aggressive and high-minded letter, the radical Chi was furious and his face was full of anger.
"Anyway, now that Konoha Village has made it clear that it supports the Land of Wind, then we should be careful, although the Iwa Ninja Village is strong, it can't deal with both Konoha Village and Sand Ninja Village on its own!" Loess was also dissatisfied with the radical blazing, and said in an unkind tone.
"The Land of Fire and the Land of Wind are separated by the Kingdom of Han and the Land of Rain, and judging from the current situation, it is difficult for Konoha Village to easily support the Land of Wind through the barrier of these two countries. And if Konoha Village comes to attack us, with the natural barrier formed by the mountains of the Land of Earth, we don't need much strength to stop Konoha Village! Tsuchikage's think tank, Hashi, calmly analyzed, "Moreover, this letter from the Hokage seems to be a little ugly. ”
"Yu Shi, do you think Konoha Village is just a strong outsider?" Loess was stunned when he heard this, and asked suspiciously.
"It's not certain yet. The strength of Konoha Village is very strong, this is no problem, and now what needs to be known is how they lost under the attack of Orochimaru and Otoshinobi Village this time, so that they can finally make a judgment. Yu Shi said steadily without smiling.
"Yes, you must not take Konoha Village lightly," Onoki nodded in agreement, and then said to the always steady Loess: "Loess, you go to the front line to command and strengthen the intensity of the tentative attack, but within a controllable range, you must ensure that Konoha Village can be withdrawn at any time when it makes a move, understand?" ”
"Yes, Tsuchikage-sama!" Although Onoki is the father of Loess, Loess still respectfully calls Onoki Tokage-sama on formal occasions, and his attitude is extremely humble.
In the Sand Ninja Village, Maki and Chiyo, Ebizo and others are also discussing ways to deal with the Iwa Ninja Village.
"Konoha Village's letter asking Iwa Ninja Village to stop provoking has been sent, and I think Iwa Ninja Village should be restrained in the future." Markey said with a little anticipation in his heart.
"You can't think like that, Iwa Shinobi Village must have considered the possible actions of Konoha Village when they acted, and war is not so easy to avoid. Markey, as the acting wind shadow, you must have a clear understanding of this! Chiyo said earnestly.
"Yes, thank you Chiyo-chan for teaching!" Markey's face froze, and he respectfully agreed.
"We must be prepared to deal with a more ferocious attack from Iwa Ninja Village, we must not be careless, the current situation in Sand Ninja Village cannot tolerate a trace of relaxation!" Ebizo said with a solemn face.
"The key now is to elect a front-line commander who is worthy of the big responsibility, Iwa Ninja Village has not yet firmly determined to start a war, at this time the performance of the front line is very important, it must be a very outstanding person, only if the Iwa Ninja Village is suppressed in the early stage, they will have scruples about Sand Ninja Village, and a bigger war may be avoided." Chiyo said in a deep voice.
"Chiyo Granny, do you have a candidate?" Markey asked with a frown.
"I can't find the right person, it's not easy to take on this heavy responsibility, if I don't have enough ability, it's likely to be self-defeating, but it will strengthen the confidence of Iwa Ninja Village!" Chiyo said helplessly.
Sand Ninja Village is now not only far fewer in number of ninjas than several other big ninja villages, but also extremely scarce in terms of top talents.
"Or I'll do it!" Markey hesitated for a moment and said helplessly.
"No, Iwa Ninja Village has just begun to carry out a tentative attack, and if you, the acting Kazekage, go to the front line, our Sand Ninja Village will definitely be even more despised!" Ebizo immediately objected.
"What else can I do?" Ma Ji rubbed his temples and sighed, "I didn't expect our Sand Ninja Village to reach such a point that we can't find a ninja who can take on a big responsibility?" ”
The ninjas of the Sand Ninja Village who attended the meeting were silent one by one, wanting to take over this important task, but they were worried that they were not capable enough, so they could only silently bow their heads and not speak.
Shangnin Youdou, who has always been dissatisfied with Maki as the acting wind shadow, thinks that it is no problem to command the battle, and wants to take the initiative to stand up and take on the responsibility, but his combat power is also the general level of the upper ninja, and he can't convince the public in the ninja village that values personal combat power, so he is not bored with himself.
"It's up to me, although I'm old and lacking in combat power, it's still okay if I'm just in charge of commanding, please arrange a few more Shinobi for me to be assistants!" The senile Hai Laozang looked around, and finally stepped forward and said with a smile.
"This, can your old man's body be able to withstand the command on the front line?" Markey said worriedly.
"Don't worry, the decay can last for a few more years." Ebizo said calmly.
"Then let Ebizo go, with his talent, it should be no problem!" Chiyo said softly.
Ma Ji hesitated for a moment, and solemnly decided: "Then please ask Lord Ebizo!" Yura, Yuto, and Tetsuhei, the three of you are following Ebizo-sama's side, and you are responsible for assisting and helping Ebizo-sama, and we will definitely ensure the supply of supplies to the front line! ”
"Yes, Kazekage-sama!" Sand Shinobi Murakami Shinobu Yura, Yuto, and Tetsuhei immediately agreed.
In the middle of September of the 60th year of Konoha , Echizen Kazuya looked at the information coming from the country of the wind, although the attack of Iwa Ninja Village on Sand Ninja Village was still a tentative stage, but it also became more and more intense, and Konoha Village's actions have been stuck in protest, although the tone is tough, but it is more and more strong on the outside and in the middle, which has fueled the arrogance of Iwa Ninja Village.
