Chapter 53: Declaration of War
War, broke out.
On the third day of the cultivation of "Iron Cloth Shirt", when Bai Ming planned to go out to collect medicine as always, he got the news of the outbreak of war.
It's abrupt and unexpected.
Originally, according to Bai Ming's previous estimate of the deadline for Yu Ninja Village to let him prepare the medicine, there would be at least two months.
But everything was ahead of schedule.
Rumors circulating in the Rain Ninja Village are that the Fire Nation invaded the Rain Country's borders yesterday.
Although the ninja adults inside the Rain Ninja Village had been ordered by the Daimyo to defend themselves, there was no doubt that a huge panic had detonated inside the Rain Ninja Village.
The previous speculations were confirmed at this moment, and the people of the Rain Country could understand the horror and pain of the war more than Bai Ming.
Even more unlucky than its neighbor, the Land of Grass, the Land of Rain is geographically bordered by the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Earth. And because of environmental factors, although the land of the Land of Rain is fertile, it cannot produce a large amount of food.
Therefore, among several small countries, the country of rain has always been the weakest.
Until the appearance of a person changed the weak position of the Rain Country in the world.
Sanshoyu Hanzo, a character who began to emerge at the beginning of the First Ninja War.
At this time, the era of the god of the ninja world and Madara Uchiha has begun to pass away, but Sanshoyu Hanzo was born as a ninja from an ordinary small village, and without the talent of those well-known blood inheritance boundaries in the ninja world, he established the rain ninja village, and grew to the apex of the ninja, and was called the demigod of the ninja world, which shows its strength.
It is also because of Sanshoyu Hanzo that the reputation of Rain Ninja Village and Rain Country is spreading more and more among many countries, and there is a faint tendency to become a new big country.
But it is precisely because of the growing fame of the Rain Country that the vigilance of various countries against it and the various ninja villages that rely on fame to eat, especially the political power system of the three neighboring countries, have begun to collectively exclude and suppress the development of the Rain Country.
For example, interfering in the internal affairs of the Rain Country and controlling the amount of imported grain makes the food in the Rain Country market generally show a situation where demand exceeds demand.
Therefore, while other countries were able to take advantage of the peaceful development after the First Shinobi War, the internal strife, poverty, poverty, and hunger within the Land of Rain never seemed to stop.
Even the vigorous development of industry in Yunin Village could not change this situation.
Just like Bai Ming's Red Ghost Bandit Bandit Group, which was once thought to be involved, it was actually a certain force outside the Rain Country that secretly provoked the chaos among the local lords within the Rain Country.
Something like this happens from time to time in the Rain Country, so the Rain Country has a worse trend of economic bipolarization.
The poor have no place to stand, and the rich have a lot of land.
In this situation, the country of rain has vigorously developed its military system, and after the strength of the rain ninja village has gradually grown, in order to alleviate the domestic contradictions, it has actually prepared to expand externally.
However, the sudden invasion of the Fire Country interrupted the previous preparation plan of the Rain Ninja Village.
......
The central area of Rain Ninja Village.
The top floor of the Ninja Building.
In the past, the spacious and few people stood densely in the room with more than a dozen upper ninjas wearing the forehead protection of the ninjas of the rain ninja village, and the atmosphere in the room was solemn.
Yesterday's news of the sudden invasion of the Fire Nation will make these shinobi angry. Although it has been preparing for war recently, the main target of Rain Ninja Village is not a few large countries, but the neighboring country of grass.
After all, the strength of the ninja village in the country of grass is weak, and there is no rainy climate in the country of rain, so it is a good goal for expansion.
Of course, the Rain Ninja Village was also ready to be interfered with by Konoha and other ninja villages in the future, but what they didn't expect was that Konoha's blatant invasion directly shattered all their original plans.
It's not just the Konoha invasion, but the latest information that these ninjas in the room have received is that the Sand Ninja Village of the Country of Wind also sent ninjas to break through the border of the Land of Rain from the north today, and the Rain City where the Ninjas of the Land of Rain are stationed was directly broken through and declared lost.
And according to the intelligence, the ninjas in the Iwa Ninja Village on the other side of the earth country also seem to be ready to move, and there are signs of reinforcements.
The current situation has taken a turn for the worse.
The Land of Rain is now in a very dangerous situation.
Although all the ninjas in the Rain Ninja Village think that their strength will not be inferior to any of the Ninja Villages, when facing the Ninja Villages of the Three Great Countries, they can know with a little thinking ability that this is not something that the Rain Ninja Village can resist.
Rain Ninja Village originally considered that it might be against Konoha or Iwa Shinobi, but it was considered to take down the Grass Country to face the intervention of the other two small ninja forces, and the rest was to hand over to the Daimyo of the Rain Country to mitigate the ripples after the annexation of the Grass Country in the international arena.
But now there is no doubt that although their previous ideas were very beautiful, in recent years, it is not only the Rain Country that is not satisfied with its international status, but the other major powers are not satisfied with their spheres of influence, except for the Konoha that occupies the most fertile soil.
In this state of stress, the Second Ninja World War has long been missing a fuse, but it is beyond the expectations of all forces, but the fuse is triggered by the seemingly most unlikely Konoha .
All the rain ninjas in the room became silent, but there was also silent anxiety in the silence, and all the shinobi were surrounded by a tall middle-aged man with a breathing mask.
He silently looked at the rain ninja village under the rain and mist through the rooftop extending from the top floor, with a terrifying aura on his body.
This person is the god in the minds of all the ninjas of the Rain Ninja Village, Sansho Fish Hanzo.
Sanshoyu Hanzo silently recalled the information received in his mind, analyzing the current situation, the invasion of Konoha Village and Sand Ninja Village did not make any declaration of war.
In a way, this is a form of coercion and a form of deterrence.
If he abandons his plan to annex the country of grass and allows Konoha or Sand Shinobi to operate in the border area of the Land of Rain for a period of time, they will naturally leave, and the subsequent war will be eliminated.
But after doing so, the image that Rain Ninja Village has built up internationally over the years will be seriously destroyed.
You must know that most ninjas still rely on the mercenary system to eat, and if the reputation of a ninja village is damaged, it will be labeled as untrustworthy and there will be more serious consequences.
At that time, the strength of the Rain Ninja Village would invisibly suffer a huge loss in the future.
But if you choose to go to war.
Sanshoyu Hanzo came up with a settlement in his heart, and he or Yu Ninja Village would definitely be defeated.
Although his strength has reached the top of the current ninja world, there are not no ninjas in the ninja world who can match him.
Whether it is the shinobi of Konoha or the old immortal earth shadow who is still alive in the land country, or even the thunder shadow of Yunyin Village, they are all ninjas who are not inferior to themselves.
"One against three," Sanshoyu Hanzo sighed heavily in his heart.
Konoha, Sand Ninja Village, Iwa Ninja Village.
The timing has been lost.
If we can make up our minds to swallow the country of grass quickly in one go, instead of being confused by other powers after the loss of information, thinking that the other side will not dare to start a war first, we will not fall to the current situation of not being able to go up or down.
But now...
"Rain Ninja Village is not a coward who is bullied by others, declare war on the three major powers."
Under the hazy sky, Sanshoyu Hanzo finally made a decision, his eyes instantly became fierce, and his body was full of murderous energy.
