Chapter 150: Preparation
Cloud Hidden.
Thunder Shadow in the office.
The fourth generation of Lei Ying was shirtless, doing physical exercises at his office as usual, and lifting the heavy barbell that required more than a dozen people to lift with one hand, but he could easily lift it alone, and it lasted for a long time, and it was only a little sweat on his face, far from his limit.
Not only on the surface of his body, but also the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow himself felt that there was a very thick aura brewing in his body, protecting the internal meridians and internal organs of his body. This is the secret technique of Sugi no Mura that comes into play.
Although I don't know if I can completely ignore the Hyuga clan's soft fist by improving the internal attack resistance in this way, the next time I encounter the Hyuga clan's soft fist, it won't be so easy to hurt his body.
For the word strength, it has always been engraved in the genes of the ninjas of Yunyin Village, and as a thunder shadow, it is natural to pursue power all the time and play an exemplary role.
The effect is outstanding, and under his leadership, the overall strength of Yunyin Village is on a high-speed upward trend.
Not only has the number of ninjas in the official establishment begun to increase dramatically, but the quality of ninjas has become much better than in the past.
Even in peacetime, Yunyin Village did not relax its requirements for itself. It is better to say that it is precisely because of the peaceful years when there is not much war that we should be more strict with ourselves.
"Hoo ......"
Putting down the barbell in his hand and preparing to use his other hand to start the workout, the office door opened.
Yunyin Shangnin Shinobu Buyi, who was in the position of his secretary, walked in, probably because she had just finished the meeting, and her expression was slightly tired.
After all, his boss is a muscular man who doesn't like to take care of things, and he is more obsessed with exercising and improving himself than small things like meetings...... This is almost a common problem of the Thunder Shadow in the past.
The previous generation of Thunder Shadow was also similar to this temperament.
It is precisely because of this that she, as the secretary, is able to exercise the functions of the Thunder Shadow part and regulate the situation within the village.
Although the ninja power in Yunyin Village is not as complex as Konoha, there are certain problems, but the problem is not acute and the strength is relatively weak, otherwise, maybe there will be intricate factional disputes like Konoha formed.
In the visible history, the martial arts faction of Yunyin Village has always occupied the mainstream.
The conservative Cloud Hidden Ninja will only be taken into account at the end of a war, or in times of peace.
As the secretary of the Thunder Shadow, Ma Buyi is naturally also a loyal member of the martial arts faction.
"Is the meeting over?"
Seeing Ma Buyi come in, the fourth generation of Lei Ying asked breathlessly.
"Yes, Lord Thundershadow."
Sabui nodded.
"The result?"
"As expected, with the martial arts faction as the main body of Yunyin, most of the upper ninjas advocate uniting with the country of ghosts and taking the opportunity to roll up the storm of the Fourth Ninja World War, while the conservatives are inclined to political demands, as long as the country of fire and Konoha are soft, there is no need to make the situation bigger."
After all, it has not been a few years since the Third Ninja World War, and the strength of Yunyin Village has finally begun to grow positively from a sluggish state, thanks to the assistance of the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Thunder, as well as the internal policies of Yunyin.
But rashly starting the war, not to mention that a considerable number of ninjas at the bottom have already developed war weariness, if they really fight, it will be equivalent to the strength that Yun Yin has finally recovered, and he will be empty again.
Not afraid of Konoha and fighting again with Konoha are two different concepts.
"Temporarily stabilize the voice of the martial arts faction, this time is not suitable for expanding the war."
Although the four generations of Thunder Shadow advocated plundering all secret arts and wealth from the outside world, they were not without a sense of the overall situation.
Completely defeating the Land of Fire and Konoha will not do the Land of Thunder and Yunyin any good.
Ten years ago, Yunyin might have done just that.
But now in the western part of the continent, there is a powerful country comparable to the military power of the five major powers-the country of ghosts.
The international situation has come in a direction that no one knows.
The Land of Earth has a conservative atmosphere and does not take a stand easily, although the Land of the Wind is one of the five great powers, it is no longer able to restrain the footsteps of the Land of Ghosts.
Moreover, according to the current changes in the international situation, the potential threat of the Oni Country is obviously greater than that of the Fire Nation.
The Land of Fire is dying, and Konoha, which represents the military power of a country, is ruled by a group of old men with half a foot in the coffin.
In contrast, the country of ghosts is telling Tengfei, young and energetic. The will to fight is very strong, and the proposition is similar to that of the Land of Thunder.
Because of this, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and after clearing the surrounding threats, the country of ghosts will become the most powerful enemy of the country of thunder, replacing the country of fire.
Therefore, if the Fire Country and Konoha are completely defeated at this time, it will not be conducive to counterbalancing the Oni Country in the future.
Thinking about the present and looking to the future, war is an extreme way to divert attention and problems out of necessity.
Any war, big or small, should be treated with great caution.
Nowadays, for the country of thunder, which is not short of money and military power, the pursuit of stronger international influence has surpassed the pursuit of worldly desires such as money.
If the country of thunder and Yun Yin can obtain political demands through negotiations, then there is no need to use the means of war to hurt the enemy by injuring a thousand and losing eight hundred.
"I understand, Lord Thunder Shadow. In addition, there is a letter from the country of ghosts, everything is ready. ”
Azabui said.
"The Fire Country and Konoha should still be in the internal agreement at this moment, and it is not too late to wait for the specific action time of the Ghost Country before going to the Land of Rain."
When it came to the last critical step, the four generations of Thunder Shadow didn't feel impatient anymore.
The Land of Thunder and the Land of Fire have been fighting for decades, and they will finally usher in a new node.
The only thing that makes the four generations of Thunder Shadow unhappy is that it is not the Thunder Country itself that created this node, but the Ghost Country that has sprung up like a dark horse.
"Then, when the time comes, who will be sent to follow you?"
"The lineup that participated in the Five Shadows Conference last time, Xi and Darui served as the guards on the surface...... Well, plus Tutai Bar, he is more experienced in dealing with things. ”
The four generations of Lei Ying thought about it for a while, and felt that this meeting was slightly different from the last Five Shadows Conference.
Although the Land of Thunder did not directly intervene in the confrontation between the Land of Demons and the Land of Fire, it did participate in it from the side. And in the next negotiations, there will be their own political demands, then, there will inevitably be a lot of rhetoric, and this is precisely the area that I am not good at.
Ma Buyi wants to be in the village, and he manages the village on his behalf, and he can't act rashly.
The rest of the upper ninja in the village, although they are outstanding, have low political ability.
As the blood inheritance limit ninja in the village, Totai is not only outstanding, but also has helped his father three generations of Thunder Shadow in the past, coordinating the management of the village, and has excellent governance experience.
It was also this person who helped him secure the position of the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow, and he had a higher reputation among the people and ninjas.
"Tsuchidai seniors? It's indeed a good candidate, then, the guards of the dark side, send a detachment of the dark side to follow. ”
The dark part of a detachment, plus four squad leaders, a total of eighteen people.
Coupled with Nozomi and Darui, as well as the experienced Yunyin Shangnin of Totai, it is enough to ensure the safety of the road.
"So be it, is there anything else you want to say?"
"There is indeed one more important thing, about Yugiren."
"Yugi people? What's wrong with her? ”
Yumu people, whose full name is Erwei Yumu people, are the current two-tailed people in Yunyin Village.
The previous two-tailed human pillar force was the father of the wooden man, because when he was cultivating the perfect human pillar force, the tailed beast's power was out of control, causing the seal to be shattered and unfortunately sacrificed.
Subsequently, the two tails were transferred. And the new two-tailed man pillar force is the daughter of the previous two-tailed man pillar force, the two Yumu people.
Although he is not very old, he is already a shinobi in the village, and he can initially control the power of the two tails in his body, and he is much better than his father in terms of the talent of human pillar power.
"Her Perfect Human Pillar Force cultivation has completed the first stage, the next second and third stages, and the final stage, and needs Kirabi, who is already a Perfect Human Pillar Force, to accompany her to the 'Secret Land'."
"Is the first phase so soon?"
The four generations of Thunder Shadow were also surprised.
Tailed beast power is not such an easy existence to control.
With the tailed beast weight chakra, he knows very well how terrible the tailed beast chakra is.
It was a huge amount of chakra that ordinary ninjas could hardly control all their lives.
Moreover, the chakra of the tailed beast has a very strong sense of independence. When cultivating the Perfect Human Pillar Force, it increased the difficulty of controlling the tailed beast.
So far, the only known perfect human pillar force in the ninja world is his righteous brother Eight-tailed Human Pillar Li Qi Rabi, and the fourth generation of Mizukage Goji Yakura of Fog Hidden Village, who is the perfect three-tailed human pillar force.
In addition, in the visible history of the ninja world, there has not been a third person who has completed such a cultivation.
Even the former Uchiha Madara was just using the Sharingan to forcibly control the Tailed Beast, which was not essentially a perfect guide to the Tailed Beast's power.
Perfect human pillar force, the character of human pillar force, its own charm, and the will to tolerate the hatred of the tailed beast, and the power to burst out in the consciousness space to suppress the tailed beast...... Several conditions must be agreed upon in order to be approved by the Tailed Beast. Otherwise, there will be an embarrassing situation where the Tailed Beast Chakra is forcibly used, but the spiritual consciousness is not unified, and it will seriously hurt itself, or the spiritual consciousness is agreed, but as soon as the Tailed Beast Chakra is used, it will go out of control.
If Yun Yin can give birth to a second perfect human pillar force, then it will be of great significance to Yun Yin.
"Yes, in terms of the talent of the human pillar force, the Yugi man undoubtedly surpasses the two-tailed human pillar force of the previous generation."
Azabui nodded affirmatively.
"In that case, let's go and teach Yugi to the next human pillar power practice. Now that the international situation is becoming more and more complicated, we must do everything possible to strengthen our armed forces in order to protect the tranquility of this land. ”
The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow waved his hand and pushed everything to Azabui to do.
As a Thunder Shadow, he only needs to attend on necessary occasions and then improve his combat ability.
Compared to the leader, the Thunder Shadow of Yunyin Village is more like a fierce general who leads the tie team forward!
Sabuyi bowed slightly and exited the office.
◎
February 7th.
The snow and ice in the village had not yet melted, and the air was still filled with a bitterly cold chill.
Hearing the news that the Daimyo was coming to visit, Konoha hastily held a welcome ceremony, and as the Hokage of the village, he directly introduced the Daimyo of the Fire Country into the conference room in the Hokage Building to hold an important meeting and discussion.
For this, the Daimyo of the Fire Country is not dissatisfied, the current situation is urgent, the welcome ceremony or something, can be saved. Those who have achieved his position no longer need some false courtesies to show their noble status.
The people gathered in the conference room, plus the Daimyo of the Fire Nation and the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun, there were only five people.
The other three are two advisors, Koharu and Mito Menyan, and the last person is Nara Shikaku, the head of the upper ninja squad.
Although Kakashi, who is the head of the dark department, can be regarded as the core class of Konoha today, the dark department is quite special, it belongs directly to the Hokage, and it belongs to the power that cannot be exposed to the light, and a lot of information needs to be kept secret.
Therefore, in terms of authority, the head of the dark department and the head of the upper ninja squad are on an equal footing, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior, but many times, it is impossible to directly participate in high-level meetings.
One belongs to the Hokage's direct armed forces.
One is the example of all the upper ninjas in Konoha, and the weight and meaning of the representation are completely different.
Moreover, now that there are many hidden dangers inside Konoha and the task of the dark department is heavy, compared to the meeting, what Kakashi, the head of the dark department, has to do is to maintain order within the village, so as not to let some rumors make Konoha fall into a crisis of public opinion.
As for the news from the outside world, it is natural that we can block as much as we can, and we can't let too many people know about the changes in the international situation for the time being.
It's Kakashi's task to regulate this part.
"The personnel have arrived, so let's not say more, let's just start the meeting."
In addition to the root leader Shimura Danzo, the Daimyo of the Fire Country, and the high-level leaders who can make decisions in Konoha have all gathered.
The first to speak was the third generation of Hokage Hinata Hito, his face was heavy and the bags under his eyes became bigger, which showed that he had not slept well these days.
Finally, after the New Year, he was able to rest comfortably for a while, but the news from the front line made him unbelievable, and he immediately realized the danger that the Fire Nation was about to face, so he had to immediately convene a high-level meeting.
At the same time, a day ago, a total of 1,000 Konoha ninjas had already advanced at full speed overnight, arriving at the junction of the Fire Country and the Land of Rain, and meeting with the 1,500 Konoha ninjas in the Land of Rain to prevent changes in the Land of Rain.
Not only that, but in the south of the Fire Country, two thousand Konoha ninjas were also deployed to block the borders.
The Oni Country not only garrisons troops in the Land of Rain, but also has the ability to fight at sea.
Aircraft carrier warships built of steel can break into the southern coastal areas of the Fire Nation at any time, causing panic among the border citizens.
Therefore, regardless of whether the Oni Country has the intention of attacking the Fire Country, Hizai knows that such an arrangement must be issued, and there can be no luck in mind.
Chiba Shiraishi is a person, he can't see through it at all, and he can't understand what the other party is planning.
Therefore, preparing for the worst all-out war is a manifestation of the best of the day.
In the end, another 1,000 Konoha ninjas were sent to the northeast of the Fire Country, where they joined up with the border Konoha troops there, and prevented the Cloud Hidden Ninjas in the territory of Yuno Kuni from raiding the Fire Country from the northeast border.
The entire Konoha is now in a state of full preparedness when the mountain rain is about to come, and it is ready to fight at any time!
"Mr. Shikaku, what do you think the Ghost Country and the Thunder Country will do next? Is it to fight or to stop the offensive? ”
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire looked at Shikaku with an inquiring gaze.
Lu Jiu's mood was also very heavy.
Originally, I was going to take my son Shikamaru to a trip that I said I would go, but now in this situation, it is estimated that it is impossible to travel or something.
"Whether it's war or peace, the country of ghosts and the country of thunder, they will not give up the opportunity to fight the country of fire and Konoha. That's what we're all sure of. Before we take action, we must find out what the two countries of Ghost and Thunder are looking for, so that we can prescribe the right medicine. ”
Lu Jiu's words caused everyone present to ponder.
What do the Land of Ghosts and the Land of Thunder seek?
This is indeed something to think about.
Mito Menyan coughed and said slowly: "Let's say a word or two, the old man doesn't know what the country of ghosts seeks, but what the country of thunder wants to seek from us is obvious." This has been a continuous struggle for decades, and the Land of Thunder and Yunyin are nothing more than trying to expand their international influence. This should also be the reason why the Land of Thunder is helping the Land of Ghosts. ”
The Land of Thunder has been an old rival of the Land of Fire for decades.
Ever since the First Shinobi War, the Land of Thunder has been constantly challenging the status of the Land of Fire.
The same goes for Yun Yin, who hopes to defeat Konoha one day and become the leader of Ninja Village.
However, the three ninja wars, nominally speaking, were all victories for Konoha.
In the First Ninja World War, the second generation of Yunyin Thunder Shadow led a thousand elite cloud ninja to invade the country of fire with a blitzkrieg, but was blocked by the Konoha troops led by the second generation of Hokage Senju, and returned defeated.
After that, they continued to fight for several months,
The defeat became more and more apparent, and in this situation, the second generation of Thunder Shadow humiliated and signed an armistice.
Although there were some accidents on the day of the meeting, Yun Yin could not hide the reason for his failure.
In the second ninja war, the battle between Konoha and Yuyin, although no one defeated the leader of Yuyin, Sanshoyu Hanzo, but under the general trend, Hanzo, the leader of Yuyin, was unable to return to the sky, and he admitted in his sigh that it was Konoha's victory.
After moving to Sand Hide, Konoha formulated a squad-style blitzkrieg strategy of the White Fang Squad to contain the main force of Sand Hide from the side battlefield, so that the main force of Sand Hide did not dare to act rashly, forcing Sand Hide's side to sign an armistice agreement.
In the Third Ninja World War, Konoha appeared as a talented figure like Bo Feng Shuimen, and Iwakuin and Yunyin suffered consecutive defeats under his men, resulting in the supply line being cut off and defeated.
With the outbreak of the three ninja wars, the strength of Konoha and the Fire Country is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and their status is unshakable.
Such a country of fire and Konoha are very eye-catching in the eyes of the country of thunder and Yunyin.
The international influence of the Land of Thunder and Yunyin is the second in the ninja world, and if they want to continue to expand, then the Land of Fire and Konoha must be a major obstacle in their plan to dominate the map.
Mito Menyan's words attracted the approval of several people.
That's what they think.
But if the balance is lost, it is impossible to speculate whether the Land of Thunder will still maintain its previous original intention.
Moreover, there is a major unexpected role in this.
His decision was also crucial.
"The quest of the Thunder Country is obvious, what does the Ghost Country need, is it to fight for the status of the sixth power from this dispute?"
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire muttered to himself.
His words made the three generations of Hokage Hinata nod and shake his head again.
"Yes and no, Chiba Shiraishi can't see through it at all, and trying to seize the status of the sixth great power may be just a transit plan of the Ghost Country, not the ultimate goal. There should be something deeper in this, but we don't see it. ”
Lu Jiu also nodded and said: "I agree with Lord Hokage, the country of ghosts is probably not asking for the status of the sixth power, according to my understanding, Chiba Shiraishi does not pay attention to these so-called false names. What he wants is more tangible 'benefits'. ”
That's the hardest part.
But no matter how Shikaku guesses, he can't predict what the Oni no Kuni wants to seek.
intervened in the civil war of the rain and interfered in the country of waves, and even did not hesitate to maliciously provoke public anger and create a violent movement to subvert the aristocratic system of the country of waves...... What is the causal connection?
Is it just to disgust the Land of Fire and Konoha?
Although there are some grievances between the two, these grievances are not worth mentioning at the national level.
If Chiba Shiraishi was just planning these for revenge, to be honest, Shikaku was not worried. What he fears is that Chiba Shiraishi is plotting a deeper conspiracy against the Fire Country and Konoha under the guise of 'revenge'.
The blade hidden in the dark is the most dangerous.
Because no one knows from what angle and at what time this sharp blade will suddenly stab out in the dark.
There was silence in the room.
There is too little information about the country of ghosts.
Although Konoha sent many spies to infiltrate secretly after the War in the Land of Winds, he was 'invited' to tea because he had no identity documents and no official identification of other countries.
Every town there has a garrison, and the whole country can be said to be under the strict control of the central government. There is no way to go to crowded places, and there is no point in hiding in the mountains and forests, where there is no useful information to be collected.
If you go in an official capacity, you will be placed in a designated place and will be 'protected'.
Although I don't want to admit it, the national security system of the Oni Country is very complete and efficient. If the spy can't solve the identity problem, it will be difficult to move an inch in the ghost country, and the hotel will not allow them to stay, and they will be reported to the local security department.
On the contrary, the intelligence system on their side was infiltrated by the Oni Country.
Although it has been carefully investigated and dealt with several times before, it is true that many problematic people have been arrested, but they are all small fish and shrimp, and the intelligence network arranged by the country of ghosts in Konoha has always existed.
Just when a few people were at a loss, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.
"Come in."
After the sound of the sun, the door to the conference room was pushed open.
A shadow ninja appears there.
"Tenzo, what's the matter?"
Hinata recognized the identity of the Shadow Ninja.
He is the only Konoha ninja who holds the position of detachment leader in the Dark Division, coordinating Kakashi to manage the Dark Department together. It's the subordinate who relies on the trust of the upper ninja.
"Hokage-sama, the envoy of the Oni Kingdom asks to see you."
Tianzang's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he said this sentence in a flat tone.
"Envoy of the Oni Country?"
"Yes, there are also military personnel from the Oni Country with them."
Hizashi and the others looked at each other, not knowing what the Oni Country wanted to do when it sent a diplomatic envoy to come at this time.
Threatened? Or a direct declaration of war on the Land of Fire?
"I'll go see them."
Hizai sighed, walked out of the conference room, and under the leadership of Tenzo, went to meet the envoys of the Oni Country.
Whatever the outcome, as Hokage, he needs to face it himself.
◎
Inside the cave where the cold is sheltered, a bonfire is burning for heating.
Two figures were reflected in the flames, and the figures were projected on the wall, swaying gently with the flames.
Wearing a black coat embroidered with red clouds, black hair tied into a ponytail and placed behind his head, the scarlet kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes opened, and he stared at the visitor not to be outdone.
For a long time, in the wordless silence, the young man's cold voice sounded: "Madara, you promised me that you would not make a move on Konoha. If you don't fulfill the agreement, then, I won't help you deal with Ruri Uchiha, and I'll expose Akatsuki's secret. ”
It's not so much a negotiation as a threat.
Standing across from him was a one-eyed man wearing a swirl mask.
The one-eyed that is exposed on the outside is also a kaleidoscope writing wheel eye with mysterious and unpredictable powers.
His voice was low and terrifying, and it seemed to have a bit of murderous aura.
"Itachi, this is not a violation of the agreement, Yuyin only dealt with the ninja troops of the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Fire, and did not attack Konoha. You also know where the organization is now, and there is no way to take the next step. If there is a next move, it will definitely be a conflict between the Oni Country and Konoha as well. ”
Madara's justification made Itachi frown frequently, but he couldn't find a reason to refute him.
"Itachi, don't you think that our organization has the power to influence the will of the Oni Country? If that's the case, I won't cultivate your kaleidoscope writing wheel eye to deal with Ruri Uchiha. ”
Madara seemed to be mocking others, as if he was mocking himself, and it made Itachi's clenched fist slowly loosen.
Indeed, seeing Konoha in such an unfavorable crisis situation, his thinking was lacking.
The will of the Oni Country will not act according to Xiao's orders.
It is better to say that in this dispute, Xiao and Yuyin Village, and even the Land of Rain, are a knife in the hands of the Land of Ghosts, successfully slashing at the Land of Fire and endangering Konoha Village.
In the face of such a powerful ghost country, his agreement with the Xiao organization is nothing at all.
In the country of ghosts, neither he nor the organization can control it.
Even if the country of ghosts attacked Konoha at this time, it had nothing to do with the Akatsuki organization.
It was a battle between the country of ghosts and Konoha, and the Akatsuki organization would only shrink its strength and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
This is a struggle and checks and balances between multiple forces, but if you take one step short, you will usher in war.
Although Itachi has the intention to stop it, considering his embarrassing situation in the Uchiha clan, going to the country of ghosts to prevent the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja World War may be the end of no bones.
"Whether the Fourth Ninja World War is fought or not, it doesn't matter what the Rain Country and the Akatsuki Organization say, the attitude of the Ghost Country and the Thunder Country is the key. They are the culprits who most want the Fire Nation and Konoha to fall, and if you want to target, you should go to the top of these two countries. It makes no sense for you to say these things to me, and I cannot speak for the will of these two countries. ”
As for whether the high-level leaders of the two countries will listen to the opinion of exterminating the clan and relieving the forbearance, that is another matter.
Anyway, the Rain Country and the Akatsuki Organization have already achieved their purpose in this battle, and there is no need to make any more extraneous branches.
“…… It was my rudeness. ”
Itachi bowed his head and apologized.
"I won't be angry about this kind of trivial matter, after all, you are an eye-opening Uchiha clan, and there is still a place where you will need to be used in the future. In addition, you can rest assured that according to my guess, the country of ghosts will not start the Fourth Ninja World War at will, and even if they have this mind, they will not start it at such a time. Although Xiao is not well prepared, the country of ghosts may not be fully prepared either. ”
Madara's tone softened and comforted Itachi to calm down.
At this time, it is not beneficial for either side to launch the Fourth Ninja World War.
The country of ghosts has far-reaching plans, and if there is really the intention to launch the Fourth Ninja World War, there will definitely be a bigger move.
And now that there are no such big moves, it means that the country of ghosts is still in the preparation stage.
"I know, I'll do my part."
Itachi's face returned to calm and he walked out of the cave where he was sheltering from the cold.
Madara stared at the back of the Itachi's fading away, his eyes glowing faintly.
"I hope so."
