The sudden military exercise in the territory of the Bear Country did not hide the attention of the rest of the country.

As one of the five great powers, the Land of the Wind, every move is watched by all the countries in the ninja world, and it is only natural that every move is being watched by the countries of the ninja world.

As the embodiment of the military power of the Land of Wind, Sand Hidden Village is also the target of attention of various countries.

Although in the Third Ninja World War, the Sand Hidden Village lost the best opportunity to attack Konoha because of the Rain Hidden Village's involvement in the battle, all countries did not dare to underestimate the strength of the Sand Hidden Village.

Sand Hidden Village is the third ninja war, the first ninja village to leave the battlefield, after so many years of steady development, the military strength of the ninja village has long recovered, and Konoha and Yunyin are recovering Ninja Village has already been one step ahead.

Under the premise of such a peace-oriented era, the sudden military exercise in the territory of the Bear Country in the Sand Hidden Village seems more intriguing.

Among the five great ninja villages, the first to get this news was Iwakuin Village, the country of earth.

Surrounded by rocks and mountains, Iwakuin Village has the strongest defense of any ninja village.

In the office of the Tsuchikage Building, the third generation of Tsuchikage Onoki, who is already seventy years old, received the news that the Sand Hidden Village was conducting military exercises in the territory of the Bear Country, and his first reaction was a subconscious reaction, thinking about whether the Sand Hidden Village was taking action against the Iwakuin Village.

Although Iwakure and Shagakure have cooperated in the Third Ninja War, it doesn't mean that that level of cooperation will continue forever.

Because the village is located in the country of wind, the desert environment is very serious, and the demand for food and water far exceeds that of other countries.

All the foreign wars in Shayin Village are all extremely thirsty for resources.

There is no difference between attacking the Land of Fire and attacking the Land of Earth.

However, after taking a closer look at the information collected by the Iwakure Shadow Division, it was found that the location where the Sand Hidden Village carried out military exercises in the territory of the Kumakuni Country was not the northeastern border of the Kuma-no-Kuni, which was adjacent to the Land of Earth, but the northwestern border of the Kuma-no-Kuni, which was very close to the Oni Country.

"Is it a sound of sound from east to west?"

On the surface, it is close to the country of ghosts, but in fact, it is eyeing the country of earth.

After all, there is no reason for Sand Hidden Village to attack the country of ghosts, on the contrary, the country of earth is different.

It has long been an indisputable fact that the ninja villages, which are both of the five major powers, are hostile to each other.

"Father, I don't think so."

On the side of the rock, he endured the loess, and also saw the information presented by the dark department, and made his own guess.

"Oh? Do you have another opinion, loess? ”

"Now that the environment of the big country has settled down, even if it is for the purpose of plundering development resources, Shayin Village will not attack Yanyin Village. The impact of the war between the five great powers is too great to control, and it is difficult to control, unless the village is ready to sacrifice heavy sacrifices again, and the vitality recovered over the years will be lost once again. ”

Although Iwakuin was no better in the end, it was impossible for Shayin to be alone.

"That makes sense, but Sand Hidden Village has always been ambitious since the second generation of Kazekage...... To develop the Magnetic Escape Ninjutsu and develop the Tailed Beast technique, you must not speculate on them with ordinary thinking. ”

Although Onoki is old, his eyesight is still there.

Today's four generations of Kazekage Rasha, like the Kazekage in the previous two years, are all young ninjas with their own lofty political ambitions.

Three generations of Kazekage in a row are all in order to build Sand Hidden Village, and they will do whatever it takes to plot power, and even cause war, which is also in their consideration.

As the Wind Shadow, Luo Sha may lack strength among the contemporary Five Shadows, but the ambition inside is no worse than the four generations of Thunder Shadow of Yun Yin.

Such a young man is the most headache for Onoki.

If they were all like the three generations of Hokage in Konoha and were mainly steady and conservative, it would really help a lot.

Thinking about it carefully, the original Five Shadows, only the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash of himself and Konoha were left without abdicating.

Fog Hide, Sand Hide, and Cloud Hide have all been replaced by leaders.

The new Ying of these three villages, in his eyes, are all young people who belong to the children's generation, and they can at least work in the position of Ying for 20 years.

In comparison, Yanyin Village is a little worse.

At present, there is no young man in Yanyin Village who can take his place, and his son Loess is also a little less meaningful, which has made Onoki distressed more than once.

At the age of seventy, it is time for me to retire.

Not only is the chakra declining, but the reflexes cannot be compared with when they were younger, and most importantly, ...... At the beginning, in order to lure the three generations of Lei Ying to be fooled, he sacrificed his waist, which caused two back pains in three days now......

Thinking of this, Onoki didn't just want to burst into tears.

"It's possible. But I recently got a very interesting folk anecdote. ”

Loess said.

"Folk rumors?"

Onoki was slightly stunned, he didn't care about this.

"When I went to the Oni Country to buy medicine some time ago, I was in a liquor house and overheard a conversation between a few merchants in the Oni Country."

"What did they talk to?"

"During the Third Ninja War, due to the lack of start-up capital, the Sand Hidden Village sought out a loan from the Shion Flower Chamber of Commerce in the Land of Demons, with an important minister in the Land of Wind as a guarantor. Father must have heard of this kind of thing, right? ”

"Yes, I've heard about it."

Onoki didn't know what to do when Loess was mentioning this.

"That's it. According to the conversation of the group of merchants, the Sand Hidden Village, which should have paid off the loan two years ago, has been delaying until now, and has not repaid a penny to the Oni Country, constantly looking for excuses to excuse itself. Many merchants in the Land of Oni have a pessimistic attitude towards this incident, believing that they can spend money to eliminate the disaster, and there is no need for a military power like the Land of Wind. ”

“…… Because of this kind of thing, did you choose the northwest of the Bear Country as the site for military exercises? ”

Onoki was a little speechless.

This kind of thing, no matter how you look at it, is the fault of the Sand Hidden Village and the Country of the Wind, and now it is still necessary to carry out military coercion, which is really unreasonable.

"There seems to be a small episode in the middle, where the debt collectors of the Land of Oni go to the Mansion of the Daimyo of the Land of the Wind to intimidate, causing the Daimyo of the Land of the Wind to move to the Land of Oni...... However, this is just a folk rumor, and it is unknown how much truth there is. ”

Loess exhaled.

"In this way, it really doesn't have much to do with our land country. However, he couldn't be completely unprepared, and then sent 2,000 ninjas to the southwestern border, where he would intercept the Sand Hidden Village if it was intended to be in the Land of the Earth. ”

"What if not?"

"Then just watch from the wall and watch the situation change. The affairs of the Oni Country have nothing to do with us, as long as they don't hurt the shrine maidens, or cause too much fighting and conflict, we don't have to deal with them. ”

Although Sand Hidden Village's actions are completely unreasonable, Onoki has no plans to stand up for the Oni Country, and no matter which country is damaged, it is a good thing for the Land Country.

"Yes, then I'll ...... now"

Before the loess could finish speaking, an explosion like thunder sounded in the sky above Yanyin Village.

A huge flash of explosion, visible through the transparent glass, was still clearly visible.

Loess was a little dumbfounded as he looked at the light generated by the explosion above Yanyin Village, and his mouth opened for a long time.

"Really, is it a good thing that Deidara kid did again? Father, this disciple of yours is also a little too naughty, this is not the level of disturbing the people......"

“…… Loess, what are you talking about here, hurry up and get that bastard boy Deidara! If this continues, sooner or later the village will be blown up by him! ”

Onoki's face turned dark, and his whole body trembled with anger.

Even if he didn't have to look at it, he knew that it was his closed disciple Deidara who caused a huge explosion in the sky above Iwain Village.

A genius boy from Rock Hidden Village.

At the age of ten, he has the ability to explode that makes Shinobi feel extremely headaches.

Even in the Iwain Demolition Force, they are the main members of the front line.

The only flaw is that he likes to play around with his dangerous bomb works, which he calls - the art of the moment.

Instant art of bullshit!

It was clearly a dangerous explosive.

If you are not careful, you may let the villagers go to heaven.

More than half of the complaint letters sent to him by the villagers and ninjas were made by Deidara's disciples.

When Onoki thought of this, his red nose was a little crooked.

"Yes. Alas, this kid is still so naughty......"

Loess smiled helplessly, opened the window directly, jumped down, and ran quickly in the direction of the explosion.

The village of Sand Hidden carried out military exercises on the northwest border line of the Bear Country, and did not hide from the border military scouts of the Oni Country.

In fact, when the Sand Hidden Village did not launch an operation against the Oni Country, the upper echelons of the military had already conveyed an order that they must keep an eye on the southeastern border of the Oni Country, start reconnaissance from the air, and report as soon as there is a situation.

In response to the actions of the Sand Hidden Village, the Ghost Country did not gather ninja troops at the first time, as if it didn't care about the actions of the Sand Hidden Village at all, or thought that the Sand Hidden Village was just conducting a very normal military exercise, and did not come to coerce the Ghost Country.

And the ninja troops of Sand Hidden Village, a total of 1,000 ninjas, are stationed in front of the Hell Valley in the northwest of the Bear Country, opposite the Hell Valley, which is the land of the Oni Country.

The country of ghosts did not act, and the ninjas of Sand Hidden Village naturally could not act.

The person in charge of leading this sand ninja force is none other than the sand shinobi Maki, who has recovered from his injuries.

Originally, after the decision of the high-level of Sand Hidden Village, it was planned to send five hundred ninjas to come over for a little meaning, and to deal with the country of ghosts, there was no need to use too strong force.

However, Kazekage Raksha believes that the ninja combat ability of the Oni Country may be lacking, but those strange ninja tools may be able to bring a lot of trouble to the Sand Hidden Army, so five hundred more ninjas have been added, for a total of 1,000 ninjas, led by Maki.

With a military binocular, Markey peered across the valley of hell, and in the distance he could see the border territory of the Oni Country, lined with villages with curling smoke.

Even from a distance, the architecture and environment of the village are very beautiful, and the transportation facilities are much more advanced than those of the Land of the Wind, and it is conceivable that the standard of living of the people there is definitely better than that of most people in the Land of the Wind.

"The economic power is really strong."

Even such a small border village has set up a complete transportation artery, and Markey's first thought about the country of ghosts is to have a lot of money.

Although the small size of the territory of the Oni Country is one reason, it takes a lot of money to be able to connect all the communication lines in the towns and villages...... Markey was a little hard to imagine.

"Then just wait and see what happens, just wait for the order from above, and let's go back to the camp."

Markey put away the military binoculars and said to the few people beside him.

"Yes."

Markey patrolling completed.

Although he didn't want to see the country of ghosts as an opponent, when he thought of the losses he had suffered at the hands of debt collectors in the country of ghosts not long ago, Markey felt that it was better to be cautious.

In order to prevent the flying ninja equipment of the Oni no Kuni, a thousand ninjas were dispatched this time, and the amount of detonation charms was sufficient, and a total of 100 precision continuous-fire ballistas were brought to the air, and with the detonation charms, it was enough to light up the sky.

Under such a high-density concentration of firepower, the flying ninja can only sink into the sand.

In the past, the country of the sky used similar flying ninjas to provoke the five major powers and attack from the air, and the village of Sand Hidden took this kind of attack to cover the firepower, targeting the ninjas of the country of the sky, causing them heavy losses.

Therefore, the necessary faith must be present, but caution must not be lost.

Planting two heels in a row on the same opponent is something that Markey cannot allow.

The country of ghosts, Aster City, the first military region.

In a vacant room, there are only simple daily necessities and a precise map of the ninja world posted on the wall.

Shiraishi put his hands behind his back and looked up slightly at this map of the ninja world.

It has been sketched several times with a pen.

The land of snow, the land of seclusion, the land of bears...... and finally the Land of the Wind, all marked in great detail.

In fact, now, the country of snow has been included in the hands, and the country of seclusion is only one name away, and the country of bears is secretly eroding, and in a few months, it will fall one after another.

As for the Land of the Wind...... Also fell into the chess game.

Shiraishi's eyes, gazing at the northwest region of the Land of Wind, are the areas that must be taken.

It is a desert wasteland in the Land of Winds, but after being tested by professionals, there are a lot of important resources such as natural gas and oil lurking beneath that desert.

The Land of the Winds is not fully industrialized, and these resources cannot be utilized at all.

Not only that, the meteorological resources in the desert are also very abundant.

Wind, light, solar...... It is pure energy that can be fully regenerated and does not have too much environmental pollution.

The exploitation of marine resources is still in its infancy, and there is no mature technology to exploit marine resources, in contrast, it is paved with continental resources and then gradually expanded into the ocean...... Layer by layer, interlocking, is the right choice.

Although the whale swallow is tempting, Shiraishi does not think that he has such a good appetite and can swallow such a large cake in one bite, he will choke to death.

"You're here, and you're in a state of panic outside, aren't you going to send someone to explain something? It seems that there are still people who plan to spend money to eliminate the disaster, and there is no need to clash with the Land of Winds. ”

At this time, the door suddenly opened, and Ruri walked in from outside the door and said to Shiraishi.

The rumors of the outside world are indeed pessimistic about the country of ghosts, even if it is the merchants of the country.

Although Sungakure only symbolically sent a thousand ninjas to 'sightseeing' on the southeastern border of the Oni Country, the pressure on the people of the Oni Country was not small.

The absolute rule of the five great powers, in case it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, people dare not resist.

Although there are also unconvinced people, mainly young people, who think that Sha Yin will not pay back the money, and he will carry out military coercion on the country of ghosts, which is really shameless.

But even these young people with fighting spirit are suspicious of the military power of the Oni Country in their hearts.

Shiraishi turned around, glanced at Ruri and replied: "The foreshadowing that should be done has been done, let them warm up first, a prosperous commercial country is not qualified to stand at the top of the ninja world." It has developed to this point because the country is pushing us, not just us. ”

After all these years of policy giving, the country of ghosts has indeed become the most outstanding commercial country in the ninja world.

It even surpassed the commercial power of the Fire Nation for a time, and took the lead.

But the more expected and influential it is, the more enemies there will be.

Neutrals are not an absolute protection mechanism.

It's just a matter of whether or not there is a threat to some of the interests that exist.

Looking at it now, the overreaction of the Sand Hidden and the Wind Country, and the rapid development of the Ghost Country, have indeed attracted the greedy beasts of the jungle.

"And when are you going to do it? Shayin Village has already taken action, but our side has not taken action, and if this continues, it is inevitable that our military will be said to be cowardly. ”

Liuli looked eager to try, and it seemed that her hands were itchy.

"You can't rush this kind of thing, you have to wait for Shayin Village to do it first."

Shiraishi shook his head, undeniable for the comments from the outside world.

But in fact, it's not that the country of ghosts hasn't taken action, but that outsiders don't know about it at all.

No matter how confident Shiraishi is, it is impossible for him to remain indifferent to the thousand sand ninja on the border of the Oni no Kuni and not take any precautions.

One carelessness may cause a large number of civilian casualties on the border of the Oni Country, and the character of the Sand Hidden Ninja ...... Shiraishi really couldn't believe it.

In the past, on the battlefield of the Third Ninja World War, he had connived at lower-class ninjas to loot the food of civilians in the Land of Rain in the Land of Rain, causing a large number of casualties and starving to death on the side of the road.

When it comes to real combat, they are very disciplined, but in some ways, they are also extremely poorly disciplined.

The so-called prohibition of killing, injuring and robbing civilians during war is a rule that has never been practiced by the truth. It's ridiculous.

Therefore, long before the Sand Hidden Village did not act, he had asked Ayane to lead an elite team of a hundred ninjas to secretly go to the border of the Oni Country near the Bear Country, where he hid to prevent the Sand Hidden Ninja from disturbing the people of the Oni Country on the border.

And the Star Ninja Village is also ready to raid the Sand Hidden Force from the rear, and it can be dispatched at any time.

The only thing we need to wait for now is the moment when the conflict between the Land of Wind and the Land of Ghosts erupts.

"But looking at the way they are now, they're waiting for us to do it first."

It's not that Ruri can't see the current situation, but she just thinks that if she continues to dry up like this, allowing the ninjas of Sand Hidden Village to haunt the border of the Oni Country will reduce the prestige of the Oni Country.

When the time comes, a series of chain reactions will be very troublesome.

Liuli is very clear about the character of some big countries, once it touches a soft persimmon, it always wants to come up and pinch it.

For example, the Land of Thunder and Cloud Hide.

Stealing the secret medicine of the Oni Country, the Cloud Hidden Ninja is the one who acts most happily in the shadows.

So far, there are nearly twenty Cloud Hidden Ninjas, lurking in Ziyuan City, trying to infiltrate the military and steal confidential medical information.

Seeing that the country of ghosts was bullied by Sha Yin and was indifferent, so he felt that the country of ghosts had an opportunity to take advantage of, and Yun Yin definitely didn't mind coming in and getting a piece of the pie.

If Yun Yin also intervenes when he arrives, things will inevitably get tricky.

"For a war, strategic, tactical, human resources, industry, economy, logistical supply, mobilization, ideological ...... are extremely important ingredients. The side that is impatient and does not have a complete strategy and tactics, or adopts unrealistic strategies and tactics, will definitely lose half of the first. ”

Shiraishi said with a smile.

Strategy and tactics, as early as a few years ago, the Oni Country military has already begun to deploy, compared to the forced Sand Hidden Ninjas, the Oni Country is to wait for work, and a complete series of traps have been set up in advance to target the Sand Hide.

As long as it is properly arranged, in terms of strategy and tactics, the Sand Hidden Village will not be able to detect the true intentions of the Oni Country, and it will actually fall behind.

As for the industrial, economic, and logistical mobilization capabilities, they were also completed ahead of schedule, and they have been preparing for this war for many years.

"Have you figured out a way?"

Ruri was curious about how Shiraishi would get the Sand Hidden Village to take the initiative to attack.

In the current situation, the country of ghosts is reluctant to attack first, and Sha Yin also has concerns and will not take the initiative easily.

"Pretty much. If this arrangement continues, the Chamber of Commerce, all goods to be transported to the territory of the Land of the Wind will be temporarily suspended, especially medicines, food, and water. Externally, it was announced that because of the problem of unqualified goods within the Chamber of Commerce, the unilateral commercial cooperation with the country of the wind was temporarily suspended. ”

Shiraishi smiled meaningfully.

Since Sha Yin can't find an excuse to go to war, let's arrange an excuse for them to barely take the initiative to go to war.

Medicines aside, for the country of wind, which relies heavily on imports for food and water, as long as these are stuck, the consequences can be imagined.

Even if the countries that import food and water from the Land of the Wind are not only the country of ghosts, but also the rest of the countries, the amount of food and water that the country of ghosts transports to the territory of the country of the wind every year is not a small number, and it will have an impact on the village of Sand Hidden to a greater or lesser extent.

"I see, I'll go to the Chamber of Commerce to make arrangements. However, you are really as insidious as ever, and you don't give the Sand Hidden Village a chance of victory at all. ”

All means of all-round use of all means against Shayin, whether it is from the initial forced military exercises, or the conflict that is likely to escalate further later, it is not so much that the village of Shayin is arranging independently, but in fact, from the beginning, the rhythm of Shayin has been in the hands of Shiraishi.

From the moment they set foot on the battlefield, they are marionettes in Shiraishi's hands.

For the next ghost country to appear on the stage of a great country, a puppet full of drama on the stage was specially invited.

"War is not a joke or a child's game, it kills, you should know that. Perhaps, after this incident, future generations will evaluate me as the most terrible careerist of this century, a terrifying battle fanatic, burdened with all kinds of notoriety......"

Shiraishi laughed.

However, he was ready to bear this kind of notoriety.

What he wants to change is just this ninja world that he hates, and human rights and laws are seriously trampled on.

Obviously, with such an excellent foundation, whether it is natural energy or chakra, it is a strange thing that can be used to benefit the world. However, it is incomprehensible that the five major powers in the ninja world have been caught in a strange cycle of war, destroying their own potential for progress.

That's exactly what Shiraishi wants to change.

In contrast, the frivolous demand for peace is only an inevitable trend in the process of social spiritual and material civilization progress.

The mind is the thing that should be liberated the most.

How long can the era of the five great powers ruling the ninja world last?

Shiraishi doesn't know, because the future is unpredictable.

However, the bell of the end of the era of one country and one village, under his promotion, quietly began to ring.
