Chapter 157: War! Begin!
The next day, when the media flocked to the meeting, and the small countries were eagerly waiting, waiting for the good news to be released from the Five Shadows Talks, the media captured an amazing scene.
Thunder Shadow had already left the Iron CountryโIwage, too, had chosen to leave before the media arrived at the scene for the interview, with only Mist Shadow and Sand Shadow still seemingly intending to participate in the media interview.
"Lord Rosa! Sand Shadow-sama! Can you tell us what happened yesterday? Why did Thunder Shadow leave? โ
"Lady Terumi! Did the negotiations break down? โ
"Hokage-sama! Hyuga-sama! Check it out here! โ
Since it was the first time to participate in a media interview in this form, and it was the first time for the media to participate in such a big event, the big guys began to scramble to make noise.
But as Hinata Yuzuru just pressed his hand, the invisible sense of oppression spread away, and these ordinary reporters stopped their movements uncomfortably like a fish in their throats, and only after they were quiet did Hinata Yuzuru speak calmly.
"Please raise your hands and wait, the person in charge will select the media one by one for interviews, everyone has and only one chance to ask questions, please be patient and wait, don't be confused."
As soon as the words fell, the lower ones raised their hands together, and the senior official of the Iron Country, who was in charge of the media day, stretched out his hand to invite a reporter from Konoha to speak first, which can be regarded as deliberately giving Hinata Yuzuru face.
"Hokage-sama! Why did Thunder Shadow and Iwakage leave before Media Day, was it because yesterday's negotiations didn't go well? โ
Konoha's media interviewer, Yuzuru Hinata, is quite familiar, and I used to see him reporting news from various places, but I still remember his name as Bunbo.
"At yesterday's meeting, I put forward a number of proposals, including the establishment of a United Nations Council with the five major powers as the mainstay, and working together with the small countries in the ninja world for peace in the ninja world, but in the meantime"
Hinata Yuzuru explained the ideas and proposals he expounded one by one when he attended the Five Shadows Conference this time, the flash lights clicked, and the reporters worked hard to record every word he said, and the reporters in many small countries were even more ecstatic.
The Lord of the Five Generations still wants to play with us small countries. I was so impressed!
Even the people of many small countries who have always trusted him can't imagine that at this moment, as the head of the five ninja countries, who can now be called the strongest existence in the ninja world, they are really willing to listen to the wishes of small countries, and even be willing to contradict big countries for their sake.
"In the course of the meeting, Thunder Shadow did not agree with my plan to limit the strength of ninjas and put an end to the oppression of small countries by force and war, which made me very disappointed and difficult to accept.
I firmly believe that the power of ninjas should be used to contribute to all mankind and exist to protect their families - if the power of ninjas cannot be limited, and if there is no rule that everyone can accept to regulate the use of ninja power, then the ninja world will never be able to achieve true peace.
Konoha has always been committed to working for peace in the ninja world, and I am willing to do my best to do so, and my only dream is to live a wonderful life in peace after retirement in a truly peaceful world.
If someone is unwilling to put down the butcher's knife in his hand, and some people are unwilling to welcome a peaceful and beautiful future, and regard the use of violent oppression, plunder, and exploitation as the natural principle of the ninja world. I want to be armoured, too! With the power of ninjas, open the way to true peace! โ
Hinata Yuzuru's words were deafening, although he didn't mention Thunder Shadow a word, as if every word was pointing out the country of thunder, he said solemnly with a serious and confident expression: "The long war in the ninja world has made too many tragedies repeat again and again until today!"
I have personally stepped into the battlefield as children, and I have witnessed children of my age at the time, from other small countries, displaced and displaced by disputes and wars between major powers.
Konoha memorial monuments are still engraved with countless names that I am familiar with, and even today, there are still ninja who sacrifice their lives for their country every year.
I. Enough is enough! โ
Hinata Yuzuru shouted loudly and angrily reprimanded: "There are thousands of people in this world who are like me, tired of war, tired of the so-called truth of the jungle, and I generally yearn for peace, but there are always people who think that the survival of the fittest is the principle of heaven, and only the strong can have the right to speak!"
Then I'm going to let them see who can set the rules in this ninja world now!
Konoha is never willing to take the initiative to start a war, in fact, since the establishment of the village more than 60 years ago, Konoha has never taken the initiative to launch aggression and oppression against any country, but he has never flinched from any challenge! Afraid!
If someone thinks that what I say is not a word, what I say is not a reason, and what I say is a rule, and what people desire is not a rule
Then I am not afraid to fight with them, according to the truth he believes, and prove with strength who is righteous! โ
There is no hint of verbal expression in these words, nor is there any hint of anger and self-confidence in disguise.
After the reporters were silent for a while, the next moment, more hands were desperately raised.
The person in charge immediately chose the next reporter.
"Do you mean that Konoha may be going to declare war with the Land of Thunder!?"
The reporter's expression was both uneasy and excited, uneasy because of the panic and excitement about the war, but because of the instinctive realization that today's interview may become the most noteworthy interview in his journalist career!
The anger on Hinata's face calmed down slightly, but he was even more decisive: "If peace in the ninja world requires a battle to lay the foundation, then I am duty-bound!" โ
The reporters below were in an uproar, and the next reporter immediately asked, "What do you think, Lord Mistage?" โ
"The Land of Fog is willing to work firmly with Konoha for peace in the ninja world, and stand firmly on the same front."
Terumi made a difficult decision.
"Sand Shadow-sama!"
"I still need to discuss and confirm with my colleagues in the country, but I also want peace in the ninja world." Luo Sha's words are simple, but compared to Zhaomei, it can only be said that he is not standing in line thoroughly enough.
His words only caused Hinata Yuzuru to glance at him, his eyes touched, and then he pretended to look away calmly, but this scene was recorded by the camera very clearly.
At this moment, a reporter from a small country asked: "Hokage-sama! Your actions are no different from directly starting a new ninja war. Isn't it even more harmful to the peace of the ninja world? โ
"Very well, if the Thunder Country launches an invasion against your country, I will never have the slightest opinion, what do you think?" Hinata Yuzuru fought back sharply, and chuckled twice: "Maybe you think that because the country of tea where you are located only borders Konoha is able to sit back and ignore the repeated events like the country of the moon?" โ
The reporter was silent for a moment, wanting to say something more, but he was already disqualified from asking questions.
After that, the reporters continued to ask questions and interviews, while the three shadows continued to answer all kinds of questions, and the short one-hour interview ended quickly, and the three shadows finally confirmed each other's intentions in private.
"Five generations, have you really made up your mind to go to war with the Land of Thunder?" Luo Sha's expression couldn't see anything.
Hinata Yuzuru just looked at him calmly: "I must curb the endless oppression of small countries by large countries, and the power of ninjas must also be restrained - in fact, maybe this move is also in your way?" Then I'll have to say sorry in advance. โ
Luo Sha's lips pursed lightly for a moment, and then chuckled twice: "How is it possible? My land of sand won't be like the land of thunder. It's just that the country of sand is now withering, I'm afraid it won't be able to help Konoha much! โ
Hinata's expression was still calm: "No need. โ
After he finished speaking, he turned to leave, Terumi glanced at him, and did not talk to him, and the relationship between the two families has in fact always been ordinary.
Terumi caught up with Hinata Yuzuru and whispered, "If the war starts, the Land of Fog is willing to participate in the battle as an ally." โ
"Okay." Hinata Yuzuru didn't refuse, but said, "But for the specific situation, keep in touch at any time." โ
"Yes, then I'll go back first, you know, this matter is a bit sudden." Terumi sighed and said, "I'm in the Land of Mist, not like you in Konoha. โ
"You are an amazing woman and an amazing Shadow of the Mist, and I believe that your changes and efforts to the Land of Mist are obvious to everyone." Hinata Yuzuru said a few words of relief, and then went to the car, at this moment, the Konoha ninjas had entered a wartime state, and each of them was vigilant with a stern expression.
He stretched out his hand and patted Mei Ming's shoulder gently: "I hope that this incident can be an opportunity for both of us to go further, peace in the ninja world, peace between countries, not only between you and me, but also between the two peoples - there is nothing deeper than standing on the same front and accumulating friendship." โ
Terumi comprehended, shook her head lightly with a smile, stretched out her hand, and shook Hinata's hand heavily: "Wait for good news." โ
"Hmm." Hinata Yuzuru shook hands with her with the same smile, and the reporters who were reluctant to leave around him tried their best to film this scene with their cameras, and posted it in their newspaper under the title of "Grip of the Century".
Hinata Yuzuru got into the car, and the car began to accelerate away from the Iron Country.
At the same time, this media interview quickly spread throughout the ninja world like wings.
All of a sudden, prices skyrocketed, and people in many countries rushed to the streets after watching the news, buying food, necessities, and even panicking, and in some small countries, there was a wave of refugees.
They have been pouring into Konoha and other large countries with their families, hoping to find shelter in the big countries and avoid being displaced again in small countries and encountering unprovoked disasters because of the long war that may occur later.
As soon as Hinata Yuzuru got into the car, his mobile phone rang wildly.
Countless daimyo of small countries, or leaders of ninja villages, tried to establish contact with him through various channels and methods to confirm the situation.
Hinata Yuzuru was not in a hurry, and the ninjas who handed it over to Konoha replied one by one.
In the past, the ninja war was just a battle between the five great powers.
Either a small country will be bullied without resistance, or it will be pitiful to bear the disaster of no reason, caught in the middle and sulking.
But this time, the battle launched by Hinata Yuzuru has affected more than just a few big countries.
Not long after the media interview ended, the leader of the Moon Country, who had been oppressed by the Land of Thunder for a long time, accepted an interview with the ninja without hesitation, and said in a high-profile manner: "If the Land of Thunder can't stop oppressing the Country of the Moon, I am willing to accept the declaration of war by the Land of Thunder with Konoha." โ
There is only a difference between accepting a declaration of war and declaring war, but it is also sufficient, and it fully demonstrates one's attitude.
As a result, many small countries have begun to respond.
Some simply condemn the country of thunder as a great power and have no responsibility.
Some stood firmly behind Konoha.
Others are resolutely on the same front as Iwakage and Thunder Shadow, resisting Hinata's behavior of single-handedly setting off a ninja war, believing that his voice this time is a 'tyranny' that is extremely selfish.
It is an act of forcibly interfering in the country of another country on trumped-up grounds and deterring it with the threat of force, which seriously infringes on the interests of the country of thunder and tramples on the idea of freedom and peace propagated by Yuzuru Hinata.
Mixed opinions, under the propaganda of the media, flew all over the sky.
However, after returning to Konoha, Hinata Yuzuru received various documents from various regions in just three days.
The battle has begun!
In today's landscape, the first shot of a battle often does not start with ninjas, but with commerce.
Almost as soon as Hinata Yuzuru spoke in front of the media, the Land of Thunder began to quickly restrict and cut all kinds of resources, trade, and business practices, and in just three days, a number of companies and commodities related to Konoha were sanctioned one after another.
Konoha has doubled his backhand, and the sanctions have come more quickly and unreasonably, you must know that 70% of the communication network market in the Land of Thunder is now maintained by Konoha guarantees!
Not only that, but there were also a large number of low-priced food out of stock, and Lei Zhi's domestic prices were skyrocketing, and it was not until this moment that Lei Ying Ai realized the seriousness of the problem.
In the past, he thought that what Konoha had done was only to encroach on the domestic market of the Land of Thunder to a certain extent, but it wasn't until the battle between the two sides started that he suddenly realized.
In the years of competition, due to Konoha's leadership in a number of key areas, such as food and production raw materials, good money drove out bad money, resulting in a large number of merchants in the Land of Thunder being forced to transform and explore and develop into other blank markets.
Now that Konoha has withdrawn suddenly, it has led to an incomplete supply of a large number of commodities in the land of thunder, the raw materials of the factory are out of stock, and although there are reserves of basic materials such as food, under the premise that Konoha accounts for 70% of the global agricultural production today, it is still extremely insufficient, which indirectly leads to a surge in prices.
There is no way to do it! Due to the extremely advanced technology of improving crops, the yield, taste, and price per mu of Konoha agricultural products were completely unattainable by farmers in most other countries many years ago.
Either join the Konoha farmers' association to get assistance, or rely on domestic agricultural support projects, maintain a model of low efficiency and low yield, anxiously wait for domestic agricultural products to be upgraded, and rely on domestic protection purchase prices to get by.
There are more than one or two things like that.
This made the people of the Land of Thunder live a miserable life.
In the past, the prices of cheap consumer goods suddenly skyrocketed, and the prices of domestic products, which were much worse than Konoha products, have repeatedly climbed to new highs.
Just because things have become more expensive, a large number of factories have been forced to shut down, many companies have begun to close indefinitely, and workers and employees have lost their jobs.
Many industries that have injected capital into Konoha or used Konoha's key technologies have also been forced to shut down because of the loss of Konoha's raw materials and technical support.
A large number of unemployed people, coupled with the crazy skyrocketing prices, began to appear in the country of thunder a large number of 'refugees' walking on the streets and could only rely on the relief funds and relief food of the country of thunder to live.
The Fog Nation also responded quickly and began to impose sanctions.
The small countries attached to the two countries have also begun to draw a line with the Land of Thunder.
Although the Land of Iwa and the Land of Thunder quickly began to respond to each other, supporting each other and jointly sanctioning the Konoha Alliance.
However, due to the advantages of Konoha's unique gear, and the material reserves and strategic support that have been prepared in advance, the impact on it is completely different!
Although the people of Konoha also feel that the price of goods has risen a little, there is no pressure on the basic necessities.
In terms of work, Konoha people are by no means like other countries rely on foreign capital, although at this time, exports have plummeted, resulting in some enterprises operating difficult, but Konoha has a lot of money, saying that if you don't go out of business, you won't let you go out of business, and the wages of workers can't be paid, and subsidies come to make up.
The ninjas' astonishing action and supervision are strictly prevented from happening, and the entire Konoha is like a machine linked by countless precision gears, rumbling at this moment, showing its teeth to the surrounding countries.
Although there are still people in the country who hold high the banner of anti-war, but it is only a drop in the ocean, the overall environment is extremely fanatical - the people of Konoha firmly believe that there is only one object of victory in this battle, and at this time, not only no one complains, but many people spontaneously organize and take to the streets, calling on people to reduce food and clothing, and rush to help Konoha.
There is going to be a war! Win the battle!
Be peaceful! Peace in the ninja world!
To win! To win in all directions!
With the deafening rumors of Konoha coming out, after a short stalemate of several months or so, and in winter, the land of thunder under the shortage of food finally could not withstand the various internal contradictions that continued to arise under the economic blockade.
New hatred, old hatred, ideological differences made Lei Ying make the most important decision in his life.
"Today is the 67th year of Konoha, December 3rd, 10:12 p.m.
The Land of Thunder has officially declared war on Konoha!
Lei Yingai said in front of the media: 'If you don't fight, you will die, and you may not die if you fight!' โ
'Reject Konoha hegemony! The Land of Thunder will fight for freedom! โ
It is reported that the Land of Thunder sent a vanguard army of about 5,000 ninjas to attack Konoha from the direction of the Land of the Moon!
At the same time, Iwanokuni also declared war on Konoha at the same time, and 7,200 Iwa ninja troops are currently assembled on the border.
A Konoha spokesman said that all the ninjas of Konoha have long been ready for battle, and Kakashi Hagi, the head of the Kakashi West team, said in an interview - the defense line of the moon is indestructible!
Our reporter Wenbo will continue to broadcast all the information of this war for you as soon as possible, and the next camera will be transferred to the reporters in the border area of Iwanokuni."
Wearing a robe of God, Hinata Yuzuru sat in the office, staring at the night view outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
Behind her, Hinata was tapping on the keyboard with a serious expression, and on her desk, several screens were displayed with timely intelligence and information from various departments.
Konoha's black technology has developed extremely rapidly, just like the network has just appeared, flying from 2G to 4G in half a year, and the computer has also developed rapidly in just one year.
Today's level of science and technology is even better than that of the modern period.
Even some high-tech research based on Chakra is even a science fiction-level existence.
"Yuzuru-sama, you really. Can't you think about the plans of the war room? With our current capabilities, even if you don't make a move, we have a more than 70% chance of winning, and we can defeat the Rock and Thunder Alliance by a big margin."
Hinata Yuzuru came back to her senses when she heard this, turned her head, and looked at Hinata Fumi, she expressed her concern, paused for a moment on the slightly gray stone color that appeared on his face, hesitated, and whispered, "Your current body."
"Don't worry, it's just that the natural energy in the body is too strong, and it will be much better to fight and vent out."
Hinata Yuzuru spoke slowly, he stretched out his hand, and one finger had already appeared a stone-like color, stiff and unable to move, but he just used a slight force in his hand, and there was a clattering sound on his hand, and the 'stone chips' on the epidermis of his fingers shattered to the ground, revealing his white fingers.
"I know in my heart - this battle started because of me, and it should end because of me, if it is borne by the ninjas, let alone thousands of deaths, let's follow my plan, haven't they all been said?"
Hinata Yuzuru whispered.
Hinata was silent for a moment, and quickly tapped on the keyboard for a while before taking a deep breath, turning off the screen, and staring at him seriously: "This time, it's the first time I've refuted you."
"I've made up my mind." Hinata Yuzuru just looked at him calmly and said softly: "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight." โ
"Smoke, I'm the Hokage."
His voice fell, and Smoke fell silent, unable to speak.
In the end, I could only get up, walk to his side, and hold him tightly without saying a word.
Hinata Yuzuru patted her on the back: "If even you don't trust me"
"I believe in you. I'm just worried. I was just. Afraid."
She whispered.
Hinata Yuzuru just spoke softly.
"God"
"It won't fail."
