Chapter 56: Thunder Shadow's Strategy
Hanzo's surprise attack on the Iron Country directly set off a monstrous wave in the ninja world where the undercurrent was surging.
The five great powers were completely intolerable to Hanzo's ambitions.
In particular, the three major countries bordering the Land of Rain, wind, fire, and earth, have directly entered a state of combat readiness.
On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore!
Once Hanzo successfully annexes the Land of Iron, the Land of Rain will not only greatly increase its land area, but will also gain access to a large number of samurai and ore resources in the Land of Iron.
In this way, the Land of Rain truly has the foundation for its rise!
What's more, the Land of Rain and the Land of Iron do not border, and there is a Land of Grass and a Land of Fire in between.
Hanzo wants to annex the Land of Iron, and he will inevitably encroach on part of the territory of the Land of Grass and the Land of Fire.
It can be said that Hanzo's plan is completely pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth, and it is pulling out the teeth of the most powerful tiger in the ninja world.
This is also the reason why Danzo is so radical in demanding to send troops to the Land of Rain.
At the same time, Hanzo's move also gave the martial factions within the five major powers a suitable reason to start a war.
In the more than 20 years since the end of World War I, with the growth of the economy, population, and armed forces of various countries, the martial arts factions within each country are constantly rising.
These martial arts factions were already on the move, waiting for an opportunity, a suitable time.
And now, Hanzo has sent them both the timing and the reason.
"Hahaha!" Laughing excitedly, the three generations of Thunder Shadow were holding information about Hanzo's raid on the Iron Country.
The Land of Thunder, which does not border the Land of Rain, has more options in the face of Hanzo's move to provoke war.
Therefore, the three generations of Thunder Shadow are not angry at Hanzo's behavior, but are full of excitement and joy.
The Land of Rain and Hanzo, the three generations of Thunder Shadow did not look at it, and he was excited that the Land of Thunder had a reason to start a war.
For his biggest enemy, Konoha Hidden Village, the country of fire, the three generations of Thunder Shadow who know very well understand that Konoha will definitely carry out armed intervention in response to the war initiated by Hanzo.
And once Konoha intervenes with arms, he and the country of thunder will have an extremely legitimate reason to send troops.
At that time, he can completely form an alliance with the Land of Rain, send troops to the border of the Land of Fire, and contain the power of Konoha.
At the same time, let secretly support Hanzo and the Land of Rain, and let them consume Konoha's living power on the frontal battlefield.
When the two sides are almost fought, he will lead the main force and directly enter the belly of the Fire Nation and plunder their resources and territory.
In a very short period of time, a set of feasible strategies was initially formed in the minds of the three generations of Thunder Shadow.
However, with this strategy, the three generations of Thunder Shadow have a problem that needs to be solved.
That is to persuade the wind and earth to not attack the land of rain for the time being, but to provide support to Hanzo and the country of rain.
For this problem, the three generations of Lei Ying felt that it was not a big problem, and he was confident that he would convince the shadow of the wind and the earth.
After all, because of the appearance of the yellow ape, the three major ninja villages of cloud, rock, and sand were in frequent contact during this time, and they themselves had the tendency to form an alliance.
Without the slightest hesitation, the three generations of Thunder Shadow, who knew that the opportunity was fleeting, took direct action.
Just when the three generations of Thunder Shadow began their own actions, Kakudu, who had been lurking in the Land of Fire, also knew that his opportunity had come after receiving the news of the Land of Rain's raid on the Land of Iron.
As an old man in the ninja world, Kakudu still has a good strategic vision.
He knew that Konoha couldn't stay out of this war in the Land of Rain.
And once Konoha is gone, the scale of the war is bound to expand.
At that time, his target Shimura Yellow Ape will definitely be arranged by the village to participate in the war.
As long as the yellow ape participates in the war, the opportunity to assassinate him by himself will come!
With a huge bounty and confidence in his own strength, Kakuto, who was excited, took a very risky sneak into a caravan that was about to go to Konoha Village, and turned into a caravan guard.
Unfortunately, just as Kakuto was planning to infiltrate Konoha, the yellow ape was already preparing to leave the village and head to the border of the Fire Country.
The day after Hanzo's raid on the Land of Iron, just as Kakuto had just set off with the caravan, the yellow ape had already left Konoha Village in the farewell of the clan and the three ninjas.
So, the day after the yellow ape left the village, and the third day of the outbreak of the war, when Kakuto had tried so hard to sneak into Konoha, he heard a piece of news that made him happy and uncomfortable, and his target, Shimura Yellow Ape, left the village.
Because Danzou and Sarutobi Slash at the Ninja Tournament, they publicized the heroic deeds of Yellow Ape going to the border alone to monitor the land of thunder.
The news of the yellow ape's departure from the village spread in a small area within the ninja group in the village.
And as a veteran shadow-level powerhouse, the elite rich horns easily heard this information from the communication of the Konoha ninja.
After finding out this information, Kakura did not hesitate at all, and on the night of the same day, taking advantage of the cover of night, he left Konoha Village.
It took a night to gallop all the way to Kakuto, and came to the area where the land of fire and the country of soup meet.
The land of Yuno, located in the middle of the land of fire and the country of thunder, is the key area of the two countries.
According to Jiaodu's estimate, the yellow ape supporting the border must be in this area.
When he came to the border of the Fire Country, the horns did not act rashly, but instead entered the Land of Soup, preparing to make a simple repair and restore the chakra consumed on the road.
750 million is right in front of you!
As a seasoned bounty hunter, Kakudo knows that the more moments before the assassination of his prey, the more prepared he must be.
"That's good!" On the hot spring shop street in Yunokuni, a yellow ape wearing brown sunglasses is looking around with great interest.
The hot spring shop on this street has rich services, meat and vegetarian dishes, which makes the yellow ape an eye-opener!
With a faint smile on his face and a cold drink in his hand, the yellow ape, who walked through the entire commercial street, walked into a hot spring shop slowly.
Under the warm reception of the proprietress , the yellow ape changed into a bathrobe, walked into the hot spring pool, and lay down in it with a comfortable face.
"Ha~"
With a long sigh of relief, the yellow ape, who had been at the border for a day and had nothing to do for the time being, closed his eyes with a look of enjoyment.
After a while, the maid of the shop walked in with a pot of sake and sweets.
Placing the plate smoothly on top of the hot spring, he asked the yellow ape if he needed a massage, and after being refused, he walked backwards and left the hot spring pool.
Leaning his slender hands on the edge of the pool surrounded by stones, the yellow ape opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the wooden door that had just been closed by the maid.
With a playful smile on his face, he drove the domineering yellow ape, and felt a good aura approaching.
Wearing a freshly changed bathrobe, I slowly pushed open the wooden door, and the corner capital, which had been on a journey all night, was preparing to soak in the hot spring to relieve my fatigue.
"Yo, little brother! Want a drink? Pouring himself a glass of sake and holding up the small wine glass, the yellow ape looked at the corner capital who was standing outside the wooden door, and said with a smile.
