While Kirishin shrank most of his power and closed the country under the dictatorship of Kaguya, quietly carrying out post-war internal course adjustments and institutional reforms, other countries and ninja villages still lined up a considerable number of ninjas along the border, always on guard against their neighbors.

This is not a strange thing, because even when the original Hokage Senju Pillar was overwhelmed, there were often large and small frictions between countries, sometimes it was just a simple conflict between ninja squads, and sometimes it would evolve into a local war of low intensity, no one believed that peace had really come, and no one had ever let go of the possibility of grabbing benefits through war.

This is the world of ninjas, a chaotic place that has never been decoupled from words like violence, intrigue, killing, war, etc.

Even if an armistice agreement of mutual nonaggression is signed, it is possible that the flaws and weaknesses of the other side may be torn up like waste paper at any time, and then brazenly start a war.

In such a situation, the country of rain, which borders the three top powers of the country of fire, the country of wind, and the country of earth, which has also been reduced to a battlefield between major powers many times in history, has undergone a change of regime without warning, and there are also signs of interference in the country of water, which is far away, which will naturally arouse the vigilance and concern of neighboring countries.

The Land of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.

"Don't worry too much about it...... Is it? ”

The fourth generation of Kazekage Raksha looked at Chiyo's mother-in-law with a calm expression in front of him, and frowned incomprehensibly.

"However, supporting the Xiao Organization to take the throne, taking away the power of the Rain Country, and even personally helping the Xiao Organization suppress the original leader of the Rain Hidden Village, Sanshoyu Hanzo, such a radical and active approach, shouldn't we be vigilant?"

"That kind of thing is just a disguise made by the fog to hide his weakness."

Granny Chiyo, who has rich experience in life and has fought with masters from various countries, sighed, looked at the four generations of Kazekage Luosha, who was still a little too young and immature in front of her, and said with a gloomy expression:

"That bone imp named Kaguya Ren has indeed single-handedly reversed the battle between Mist and Konoha, but if Mist Yin is not the only one who is powerful, what is the need for him, the fourth generation of Mizukage, who has just ascended to the throne, to run in person?"

"Because the leader of Yuyin Village is Hanzo?" Luo Sha said uncertainly: "Although he was forced to admit defeat because of the lack of strength in Yuyin Village, Hanzo is still a ninja standing at the top of the ninja world after all, except for the four generations of Mizukage who is as strong as a monster, even if he searches the ninja world, I'm afraid no one dares to guarantee that he can defeat him in a one-on-one situation......

"That old man with a trachea is indeed not bad, so he will be used by Kaguya as a target for him to show his strength to the entire ninja world."

Granny Chiyo shook her head, walked to the window of Kazekage's office with her hands in her hands, looked at the scene outside with yellow sand, and said slowly:

"That guy Hanzo is not only regarded as the apex of ninjas, but also has a reputation that no one can surpass in the control of water escape...... In the past, the Fog Hidden Village was closed to the country and did not participate in the wars of the ninja world, so even if Hanzo had such an exaggerated name, no one would go out of his way to trouble him because of this. ”

"But now, the bone imp who became Mizukage at a young age is not as conservative as the three generations of Mizukage, he is strong, young, and ambitious, whether it is the apex of the ninja or the name of the strongest water escape user, it is a very beneficial thing for him who is almost alone at this time to hold up the fog."

"Therefore, he wants to take advantage of the opportunity to support Xiao's organization to take the top position, defeat Hanzo who has nothing to do with him in a short period of time, and take away all the fame and aura of Hanzo, so as to maintain the majesty of Wuyin in the outside world, deter other countries that are looking at Wuyin who are lacking in high-end combat power, and buy time for his internal reform and development."

"......I see," Luo Sha nodded thoughtfully, comprehending a lot of deep thoughts from Chiyo's mother-in-law's analysis that he hadn't thought about at all before, "Even if there is such a monster, is the fog hidden in the same weakness as us?" ”

"Almost, the three generations of Mizukage are dead, and it is said that he was also manipulated by someone with the illusion of writing wheels, if this is true, then for Kabaya Rei, who has just ascended to the throne, the backbone of the three generations of Mizukage's henchmen are all characters who may collaborate with the enemy, even if the suspicion of them is ruled out, it is impossible to entrust them with important tasks."

Mother-in-law Chiyo nodded with her back to Raksha, sighed and continued:

"And the ninjas of Kaguya's generation haven't grown up yet, plus the three tails and six tails of the misty hide haven't found a suitable person pillar power...... Excluding the existence of Kaguya, even the current strength of the fog is probably a few points weaker than us. ”

“…… Because he is alone, he has to set up a new target of the Xiao Organization to divert the attention of others? Rosa muttered to himself.

"Don't gloat too much, no matter how bad Kaguya's situation is, at least he still has the strength of the ninja world, which can deter the vast majority of people who peep at the fog, but you're different, Luo Sha."

Granny Chiyo turned her head and said with a gloomy face: "Kai Laozang and I are both old, and the people who guard the crane are also dead, but we haven't found a brand new container that can accommodate the crane until now, if we can't find a suitable person as soon as possible, and only rely on you to support it, the Sand Hidden Village may become the next Yuyin Village." ”

"The next Yuyin Village? Granny Chiyo, you mean......" Rasha's expression became solemn, "Kirigaku, may attack us?" ”

"I don't know if that Kaguya Ren has such terrible ambitions, but it's always good to increase your strength and always be vigilant and guard against everyone around you...... Weak nations are inherently guilty in this world. ”

Granny Chiyo shook her head and turned her head to look at a few photos on the Rosa table.

"Keep looking for a new candidate, if that doesn't work...... Luo Sha, let your next child become the pillar force of the crane guard. ”

"If it's for the sake of the village...... I'll talk to Galulro. Rosha took a deep breath and tried to remain calm.

……

The land of earth, Iwakuin Village.

The diminutive two-day scale Onoki sat in his place, silently browsing the information that the spies from Iwain Village had sent back in an urgent manner.

And below him, nearly a hundred Iwakure Shinobi gathered together, waiting for their three generations of Tsuchikage's thoughts and speeches on this sudden incident.

"Before, it was the corpse bone vein, and then it was the immortal arts...... Up to now, even the Blood Inheritance Limit like Ice Escape is owned by you, the imp of the Kaguya clan? ”

Onoki put down the intelligence scroll in his hand and let out a long sigh.

As an older generation of ninjas who have lived from the previous era to the present, Onoki once witnessed the battle between two of the most powerful ninjas of the previous era, the kind of power that destroyed the world and far surpassed the other ninjas in more than one dimension, and while he couldn't help but be fascinated, it also destroyed the will of the stone that he inherited from his grandfather, the first Tsuchikage.

And now, looking at the scroll in his hand, he once again felt the feeling of facing those two men from those brief text descriptions and the few photos he had.

"Okinogi-sama, what are we going to do?"

A young Iwakushimi shinobu looked at Onoki who had closed his eyes and was silent, and took the initiative to ask:

"Although the distance between us Iwakuin and Kigakuin is the farthest, when it comes to the grudge between the villages, even Konoha, who has just thwarted Kigakure's war goal, is hardly comparable to us...... What happened in Yuyin Village, I think there is a high probability that it was a provocation and war letter issued to us by the fourth generation of Mizukage. ”

"Yes, Lord Onoki, the fourth generation of Mizukage not only defeated the ninjas of Yuyin Village with water escape, but also deliberately sealed Hanzo with the unique blood inheritance limit ice escape of Mist Hide, which is not only to show us his personal strength, but also to show his control over the major blood inheritance families in Wuyin Village......"

As the ninjas of Iwakuin Village, everyone was not too surprised that the Blood Inheritance Limit could be learned, after all, their leader, the third generation of Tsuchikage Onoki, had learned from the second generation of Tsuchikage Wu, who was not related by blood, the Blood Inheritance Elimination - Dust Escape, but the thought that the Kigakure, who hated the most with Iwakuin Village, was trying to strengthen their new Mizukage, the ninjas of Iwakure couldn't help but feel anxious.

“…… It's not serious enough to get to that point, don't just mess with yourself, little ghosts. ”

Onoki opened his eyes, his gaze blazing, with the majesty of being a shadow and the reliability of an elder, and said in a deep voice:

"Before thinking about when the fog will hit Iwakuin Village, why don't you think about how you want to maintain the relationship between us and Konoha...... No matter how great Kaguya's ability is, it is impossible to cross the distance of the entire Fire Country and drop the ninjas of the Misty Hidden Fog into Iwakuin Village. ”

"As long as we can maintain the relationship with Konoha, let the Konoha closest to the fog be subjected to the main offensive of the fog, and we don't need to worry about the advance of the fog until the Konoha is conquered. And if Kaguya Ren breaks in alone and wants to destroy Iwakuin Village on her own, so as to destroy our resistance heart......"

Onoki paused, then picked up a stone from his hand and said with a serious expression:

"Let the old man drag him and let the young people in the village escape as soon as possible...... As long as the young people inherit our will of the stone and live tenaciously, there will always be a day when Iwakuin Village will be established again. ”

"In addition, after gathering all the young ninjas in the village who possess the three chakra natures of fire, earth, and wind, and confirming the innocence and reliability of their backgrounds, the old man will select his own disciples from among them, and teach them the dust escape, which will be used as the hole card of Iwain Village against foreign enemies in the future."

"What!? Tsuchikage-sama, are you serious!? That's what no adult taught you, and you're the only one in the ninja world who has mastered the blood inheritance! Just pass on the words to others......"

The older and more stable Shangnin couldn't help but stand up and put forward his opinion to Onoki with an expression of disbelief, but Onoki just waved his hand at him, as if he had untied something, and said slowly but firmly:

"The old man is already a rotten old man who can't make any progress, no matter how much the people in the village believe in the old man, the old man can't become stronger than now...... The outside world is changing so fast that it is time to make a change and trust the young people in the village. ”

"The core of the will of the stone is perseverance and immobility, as long as the will remains, it doesn't matter who the person who leads everyone forward."
