Chapter 418: Seeking Skin with the Tiger
"Lord Thunder Shadow!" Darui, who had received the report, eagerly went to greet him, and was relieved to see Thunder Shadow come back safe and sound, and then noticed Kirabi on Thunder Shadow's shoulder, and asked in surprise and worry, "Is Lord Kirabi okay?" ”
"It's nothing, just wait for him to wake up!" Thunder Shadow, who successfully rescued Kirabi, was in a good mood with a rare smile on his face.
"Great, so what's next?"
"I've rejected the Hokage's request to continue pursuing the Akatsuki, and we're going to return to the Land of Thunder immediately. This is the end of the alliance, the situation here is too complicated, the attitude of Konoha Village may change at any time, our little strength is not enough to protect ourselves, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time! Lei Ying analyzed with a serious face.
"I'll arrange for the army to be withdrawn!" Darui was very decisive and quickly completed a series of arrangements for the retreat.
The troops of Yunyin Village left very quickly and calmly, and Konoha Village did not make any delays or attacks, allowing the successful rescue of Kirabi, and the Yunyin Village, which had achieved its goal, withdrew from the Land of Rain and returned safely to the Land of Thunder through the Land of Fire and other places.
At the Konoha Village Army, the team led by Jiraiya and Tsunade also arrived at Yuyin Village shortly after they left Yunyin Village.
"Without further ado, let's go after it!" Through Echizen Kazuya's shadow clone, Jiraiya, who already knew the news of the evacuation of the Akatsuki organization, saw Echizen Kazuya and eagerly suggested.
"Okay."
Yuto's side had already been prepared, and Echizen Kazuya immediately agreed to Jiraiya's request, and the two sides joined forces and chased in the direction where the ninjas of Yuyin Village retreated.
Iwa Ninja Village, the country of earth, since Konoha Village and Yunyin Village joined forces to deal with the Xiao organization, Onoki has been paying attention to the movements of all parties, and when the troops of Konoha Village entered the country of birds, Onoki rushed to the front line with the earth shadow guards such as Terracotta, first, to facilitate the next decision, and secondly, to prevent Konoha Village from attacking the Akatsuki organization, Onoki was worried that Konoha Village was actually not good for the country of Earth under the guise of attacking the Akatsuki organization.
When the Rain Hidden Village was defeated by the combined forces of Konoha and Yunyin and retreated towards the Land of Earth, Onoki who got the news gathered a group of Iwa Shinobi Murakami Shinobi to discuss how to deal with the affairs of the Akatsuki organization and Konoha Village.
"The next step is to admit them into the land of earth, or to drive them away, everyone has their opinions!"
Onoki had a tired voice in his voice, he had a very difficult time during this time, the battle power of Iwa Ninbi Village had suffered huge losses, not only was he subjected to criticism from the Daimyo of the Land Country, but also the distrust of the people of Iwa Ninja Village, the whole person looked much older, and he was not as confident as before the war began.
"Taking in the people of Yuyin Village is tantamount to luring wolves into the house! Judging from the situation of their battles with Konoha Village and Yunyin Village, the strength of the Xiao Organization is very strong, and we are not absolutely sure to suppress them now. ”
Yasuyama, who had been guarding the front line, said worriedly: "They are all unreliable rebels, once they are allowed to enter the land of earth, they are likely to make waves in the country of earth, greatly threatening the status and safety of the Iwa Ninja Village." ”
"But there are also many benefits, the loss of Iwa Ninja Village's combat power is too huge, if Konoha Village launches an attack on us regardless of casualties, even if there is a natural defense of the Earth Country, we don't have much hope of holding on." Yu Shi frowned, obviously he was also very entangled at the moment: "But if Yuyin Village is placed on the border of the Earth Country, with their strength, they will definitely be able to help us share a lot of pressure." ”
"The point is that those people are not easy to control! If they can stay at the border obediently, it will of course be very good for Iwa Ninja Village, but as long as they are let in, there will definitely be a big mess after a long time, and using Xiao to organize those traitorous ninjas to deal with Konoha Village is definitely an act of drinking water to quench their thirst. Ansan still insisted on his own idea, feeling that Yuyin Village must not be contained.
"Once we let them in, we can also find a way to completely annex them and make them truly useful to us. Although the Iwa Ninja Village suffered great losses, its strength still had an advantage over the Xiao Organization. And I think that in a short period of time, the organization will not rush into conflict with us when there is a threat from Konoha Village. ”
In the war between Sand Ninja Village and Konoha Village, Yushi, as the brain trust of Tsuchikage, failed to help Tsuchikage recognize Konoha Village's actions in time, so when he made a suggestion at this time, he was also uneasy in his heart, for fear that because of his lack of understanding, Iwa Ninja Village would be limited to a disadvantageous place, and his voice was extremely soft when he spoke.
"As long as the Xiao organization enters the land of earth, their military expenses and materials will inevitably be restrained by us, and it is almost impossible to develop and grow again, while we can slowly recover our combat strength, and the gap with them will only get bigger and bigger. As long as we succeed in blocking Konoha Village for a period of time, Iwa Ninja Village, which has recovered its combat strength, will not have to be afraid of Konoha Village's attack, with the favorable terrain of the Land Country, no matter how strong Konoha Village's combat power is, we can protect ourselves. ”
After Yu Shi finished speaking, Yasan thought about it before and after, and found that there was nothing wrong with what Yu Shi said, and it was indeed unlikely that the Yu Yin Village Xiao Organization would clash with Iwa Ninja Village in a short period of time, so that the fishermen of Konoha Village would benefit.
Even if it can't successfully annex Yuyin Village, Iwa Ninja Village, which holds the initiative in terms of military spending and materials, will definitely develop faster than Yuyin Village, and Yuyin Village will naturally be less threatening in the future. It is completely possible to keep the Rain Hidden Village on the border of the Land Country and Konoha Village to consume, and then annex it in one fell swoop when the time comes.
"I agree with Yu Shi's opinion, we can rely on the strength of the Rain Hidden Village now, as long as we can get through this most difficult period, the Iwa Ninja Village, which has recovered its combat strength, will definitely be able to deal with all the strong enemies!" Katama, who was guarding the front line with Ansan, suddenly stood up to support Yushi.
Yasan looked at Katama, and after struggling for a while, he also agreed with Yu Shi's suggestion, and turned to Onoki and said, "Lord Tsuchikage, if you want to accept those people from Yuyin Village and Xiao Organization, you must be more vigilant against them, those S-class traitors are too dangerous!" ”
"Of course, even if we let Yuyin Village be stationed on the border of the Land of Earth, we will send more people to guard other dangerous places, and at the same time guard against Konoha Village and Yuyin Village, and we will never completely pin the defense of Earth Country and Iwa Ninja Village on them!"
Onoki himself is also inclined to accept the Akatsuki organization, of course he knows that this is a tiger skin, and there is a great risk in it, but now that the situation is compelling, knowing that there is a risk, Onoki has to do the same.
The key problem is that Iwanobu Village has suffered too much loss in the previous war, and the forces of Konoha Village have been connected, faintly forming a trend of swallowing the land country, making Iwanobi Village feel that Konoha Village may attack them at any time.
Onoki knows very well that with the current combat strength of Iwa Ninja Village, it is extremely difficult to resist Konoha Village, so he can only try his best to win over and unite other forces, and Yuyin Village, which has just been forced out of the country of rain by Konoha Village, but whose strength is still considerable, is naturally the object of alliance that he does not want to miss.
