Chapter 317: The Strength of Nations
"Mom, Where's Daddy? Where's Daddy? The Pleiades, who were taken away by the summer star, found that Firefly Mars had not appeared, and had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked in an eager tone.
"Pleiades, your father has a task to complete, and he can't join us for a while, so we have to rely on our own strength to let the people of Star Ninja Village know the truth of the matter!" Summer Star knows that Firefly Mars should be more than lucky, but she always holds out hope before confirming Firefly Mars' death.
"What the hell is going on?" The Pleiades are still in the clouds, and they don't understand what happened.
"Relying on the 'star' cultivation in the village can gain great power, but it will make people who can't control the increase in strength feel great pain, and even make people die." Summer Star said in a heavy tone, "Your father and I stole the 'star' and hid it in order to prevent this pain from continuing. ”
"It turns out that Mom, you and Dad really stole the 'Star'," Pleiades said in shock, and then asked in a frightened voice, "What about Lord Starshadow?" Those who captured me say you killed Lord Astral! ”
"We didn't kill Lord Starshadow," Summer Star shook his head and sighed, "Your father and I just wanted to stop the suffering of the people in the village, how could we kill Lord Starshadow?" ”
"What happened to Lord Starshadow's death? Mom, you just said that Lord Red Star framed you. Pleiades looked up at the Summer Star with a curious expression.
"Yes, your father guessed that it was Red Star who killed Lord Starshadow and blamed us." Speaking of Red Star, Xia Rixing's eyes revealed a thick hatred, his heart was full of worry about Firefly Mars, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he said in a heavy tone.
"Why did Lord Red Star do this?" Pleiades asked in surprise.
"Red Star wants all the people in the village to use 'Star' to practice, and borrow the power of 'Star' to improve the strength of Star Ninja Village, so as to make Star Ninja Village more prosperous, and he also wants Star Ninja Village to join the camp of Iwa Ninja Village, maybe Lord Star Shadow doesn't agree with his ideas, so Red Star will kill Lord Star Shadow, right?" Summer Star understands Red Star's thoughts, so he guesses things out of the question.
"Mom, what are we going to do next?" It was difficult for the Pleiades to comprehend the complicated situation, and looked at the summer star with puzzled eyes.
"I'm going to settle you down first, or I won't be able to deal with Red Star with peace of mind." Xia Rixing touched his face lovingly, his eyes were full of reluctance, and he said softly: "You have to take care of yourself next." ”
"I don't want to, I can help mom yours too!" When he saw the gaze of the summer star, he immediately became worried.
"Okay, Pleiades, you're still young, you can't deal with enemies like Red Star and Iwa Ninja Village now, you will only distract your mother if you stay, obedient, okay?" Summer Star said in a good voice.
"Mom!" The Pleiades hugged the summer star and cried bitterly because she was worried.
On the second day of the death of the third generation of Hoshikage, the root leader Ohira Ryota, who had been paying close attention to the situation in the Star Ninja Village, reported the news to Echizen Kazuya.
"The successor to the so-called Star Shadow is Red Star, the same person who has been persuading Star Shadow to let Star Ninja Village join the camp of Iwa Ninja Village!" Daping Ling Tai was as calm as ever, and there was no expression on his face.
"In this way, the situation of the Sand Ninja Village in the Bear Country is worrying, and they must be reminded to withdraw from the Bear Country immediately." Kazuya Echizen frowned, he also didn't expect that the three generations of conservative Xingying and Hotaru Mars, who had the advantage in the Star Ninja Village, would be cleaned up by Red Star.
"Hokage-sama, I want to go to the Land of the Wind and the Country of Bears in person to secretly understand the situation in Iwa Ninja Village and Sand Ninja Village, the situation is very changeable now, and it is difficult to grasp and make decisions in time in Konoha Village." Ohira Ling asked calmly.
Echizen Kazuya frowned when he heard this, and refused: "Now that the situation is so tense, although you can better control it by going there, it is too dangerous." ”
"I'll be careful." Da Ping Lingtai's heart warmed, but he still insisted on his decision.
Echizen Kazuya saw that Ryota Ohira had already made up his mind, so he could only agree: "Okay, I agreed, don't pay attention to safety." ”
"Thank you, Hokage-sama!" Da Pingling smiled a little rarely.
Echizen and did not make too many arrangements for Da Pingling, this kid is delicate and cautious, since he took the initiative to risk his life to the front line of Sand Ninja Village and Iwa Ninja Village, he must be sure to retreat with his whole body, and he should also know what people to bring with him and arrange the back road, etc., and he doesn't need to worry about him too much.
After Ohira Ryota left, Echizen Kazuya immediately ordered the Dark Department to pass on his suggestion that the Star Ninja Village had fallen to the Iwa Ninja Village and suggested that the Sand Ninja Village immediately withdraw from the Kuma Country.
As Granny Chiyo thought, Kazuya Echizen really didn't want the Sand Ninja Village to lose too quickly.
The so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, although the Sand Ninja Village is now at its weakest, the total number of ninjas in the Ninja Village should still be about 12,300 people, except for the ninjas who stabilize the huge territory of the Wind Country, protect important people, and are responsible for secret missions such as assassination and obtaining intelligence, the Sand Ninja Village should be able to send up to 8,000 people to the front line.
Although the number of 8,000 people is much less than the number of people who can be transferred to the front line in Iwa Ninja Village, how can it make Iwa Ninja Village hurt their muscles and bones. Of course, the premise is that the Sand Ninja Village is properly commanded and does not collapse all at once.
If you want to complete the ambition of unifying the ninja world, Echizen Kazuya naturally hopes that the strength of the Iwa Ninja Village will be consumed more, otherwise it will be a pipe dream to capture the land country with countless natural dangers, even if it has twice the strength of the Iwa Ninja Village.
In Iwa Ninja Village, three generations of Tsuchikage Onoki are making the final decision.
"According to reliable information, the Han Kingdom has rejected Konoha Village's request to use the channel from them to help Sand Ninja Village." Onoki put down the information in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great, in this way, even if Konoha Village wants to send troops to help Sand Ninja Village, it will be difficult to do it!" The main battle faction's blazing words became excited, and they looked eager to try: "Tsuchikage-sama, I've already assembled my troops, let's send troops!" ”
"Chi, war is not a personal battle, suppress your emotions, and you must be calm and calm in commanding the battle." Onoki rubbed his old waist, and his calm appearance did not look like he was about to order tens of thousands of ninjas to go to battle.
In order to end the war as quickly as possible, Onoki was ready to overwhelm the people and sent tens of thousands of ninjas in one fell swoop, which was already the number of troops that the Sand Ninja Village could not send anyway, but the Iwa Ninja Village could still leave a sufficient number of ninjas to deal with possible enemies from the Thunder Ninja Village and the Konoha Village.
The number of ninjas in Iwa Ninja Village and Thunder Ninja Village is about the same, and now they have reached about twenty-two or three thousand.
The Land of Water is isolated overseas, far from the land, and although it has experienced many years of cruel policies in the blood mist, its strength has now recovered, and the number of ninjas has reached 17,800, which is enough to compete with the Thunder Ninja Village and the Iwa Ninja Village.
And the number of ninjas in Konoha Village, who has sucked a lot of blood from the Sand Ninja Village of the Land of the Wind over the years, is the largest among the five major countries, originally with nearly 30,000 ninjas, although there was a lot of loss in Orochimaru's Konoha collapse plan, but now the strength is still not to be underestimated.
Not only does Konoha Village have the largest number of ninjas, but the number of elite ninjas is also not comparable to other ninja villages, which is also the reason why Konoha Village was able to resist the other four great powers in the previous wars without natural dangers.
