"Could it be that Konoha is really going to war with Iwakure?"

After Hatosuke took a vacation, because there were not a few normal humans in the Xiao organization, he had to temporarily take on the affairs of intelligence analysis and archiving by himself.

It's just that I don't know if it's due to the temporary takeover, and I always feel that this conflict came a little suddenly.

"Three on the border of the Land of Grass and five ......on the border of the Land of Rain"

After bringing together the recent border conflicts between the two countries, a pattern has been discovered.

That is, the border conflict is spreading from west to east, and the conflict is getting bigger and bigger.

In the recent border conflict in the Land of Rain, there was a physical brawl of more than 100 people, and there were no less than 10 casualties on the Rain Ninja side.

And the Fire Gate Shogunate of the Country of Grass even dispatched thousands of ninja troops to the Land of Rain overnight, which restrained Iwakure, who was about to move.

Although he was unable to obtain relevant information from the Konoha ninja army, which was extremely good at counter-espionage, Jiraiya also got side information from Iwakure.

Iwakure was also becoming restless due to the sudden conflict, and the main battle faction and the main peace faction began to quarrel.

What's more, with Jiraiya's understanding of Onoki, this strong old man will not be willing to cut his face and cater to the juniors of Uchiha Tokumitsu or Hachiki Shuomao to engage in some things that are not available.

In addition, not only is there no sign of mobilization in Konoha now, but instead they have begun to invite hundreds of opera artists from all over the ninja world to Konoha to participate in the so-called "anniversary festival", and even Uchiha Tokumitsu has continued to declare in public the so-called "abundant Yuda" and "shogunate prosperity" and other strange remarks.

Even Konoha has no attention to the expanding border conflict.

So, Jiraiya judged based on his previous cognition, and thought that this series of conflicts was actually the reason why the shogunate rebels made it out to cover people's eyes and take advantage of the border chaos to take over power, and maybe after a while, it is not surprising that Uchiha Tokumitsu called himself the new generation of Hokage.

Therefore, this should not be a targeted double reed play either.

Moreover, Iwakure is not a good bird either, and they and the Shogunate Dog-eat-Dog are a good plus for the Akatsuki organization.

After a round of fierce analysis, Zilai also came to the above conclusion.

"It's a pity that there are no competent personnel to sow discord...... Otherwise, it would be a good thing for the shogunate to go to war with Iwakure! ”

Jiraiya also said to himself with some regret.

He then put aside the intelligence documents, pulled out his notebook and began to "make art".

This is also a rare hobby enough to masbate with the companion of the stranger all day long.

……

"Gentlemen!"

Standing on the high platform of the training ground of the Western Border Defense Force, Uchiha Fugaku shouted majestically to the more than 2,000 ninja troops gathered below.

"The rotten and incompetent Iwakure in the north dared to confront my brave and invincible Konoha, and even provoked a border conflict and caused casualties to allies, this is a naked provocation to Konoha!"

"By order of the Governor's Mansion and the Senate and the House of Representatives, the Western Frontier Force will move north today and drive straight into the territory of the Bird Country, so that Iwakure can see the consequences of daring to provoke Konoha!"

"Victory!"

The ninjas at the training ground shouted in unison.

"This time I went north, I must be prepared for battle with a posture of imminent battle......"

Although the true purpose of entering the country of birds in the north was not revealed, Uchiha Fugaku still asked his ninja army to prepare for war in a wartime state.

Uchiha Shisui secretly took out a cheat sheet and looked at it, confirming that Uchiha Fugaku's words did not deviate from the scope of the battle plan, and then continued to stand solemnly as if nothing had happened.

“…… I wish you all a long time in martial arts! ”

Uchiha Fugaku pulled out the sword at his waist and slashed diagonally towards the north.

"Wan Sheng!"

More than 2,000 ninja troops drew their blades at the same time and shouted loudly.

Immediately, under the leadership of their respective responsible shinobi, they lined up from the training ground and marched towards the north.

“…… Orders and prohibitions, strict and orderly! It is worthy of being the invincible Konoha ninja army in the ninja world! ”

It was the first time that the Uchiha Shisui saw the majestic posture of the ninja army, and he couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

"War is a cruel ......"

Uchiha Fugaku had already been instructed by Uchiha Tokumitsu beforehand, so he didn't mind teaching this young junior a lesson, "During the Great Ninja War, the ninja armies of the other four ninja villages will not be worse than this border army, but the final victor is still us, why do you think this is?" ”

“…… How many Konoha ninjas are there? ”

Uchiha Shisui thought for a moment and said his first speculation.

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head.

"Is that because we're united?"

"In terms of unity, there is no ninja village in the ninja world that can compare to Iwakure."

Uchiha Fugaku continued to shake his head.

“……”

Uchiha Shisui said many reasons in a row, but Uchiha Fugaku did not agree.

“…… So why was the village able to win in the end? ”

"It's because of us."

Uchiha Fugaku patted the junior on the shoulder, "Because Konoha has Uchiha, Konoha has the last laugh." ”

The Uchiha Shisui habitually intended to refute, but after thinking about it, he nodded in agreement.

"It was Deguang-kun who founded the prosperous world where the current family can reign in Konoha, and you, as his first disciple, need to have some self-consciousness and enlightenment, understand......"

Uchiha Fugaku also saw the appearance of stopping the water before he wanted to speak and stopped, so he nodded again.

"I see......"

The Uchiha nodded in response.

"Whether it is a radical or a conservative, in the eyes of Deguangjun, they are all compatriots of the same family, and I hope you will not live up to his high expectations for you."

Uchiha Fugaku patted Shisui on the shoulder again, and then instantly got up, ran to the front of the ninja army's march, and led his subordinates to march north.

"A ...... Family"

The Uchiha muttered to himself in a trance.

He also found the problem.

There is no shortage of various analyses of the history and examples of the Second Ninja War within the Uchiha clan, and he has read them countless times.

But when asked about the root cause of the war, he couldn't help but avoid the family factor......

And the Uchiha clan did not have a deep participation in the first ninja war, and there was no Uchiha Tokumitsu to fight the whole battle, but it ended in the loss of the Thousand Hands clan......

In the face of such a prominent martial arts feat, I subconsciously still looked for those reasons that I didn't have, trying to explain where the victory came from......

"What's wrong with me?"

Uchiha Shisui laughed to himself, and then covered his face, "What happened to me in the past?" ”

……

"Teacher!"

Panting Xiao Nan rushed into the cave where Jiraiya lived, and there was still a little panic on his sweaty little face.

"What's wrong?"

Jiraiya took the opportunity to put away the notebook that was still struggling to write just now, and asked casually.

"Ninja Army...... Konoha ninja army ......"

In a hurry, Xiao Nan's words also stuttered a little.

“…… Information! ”

After Xiao Nanbi gestured for a while, he saw that the teacher still looked ignorant, so he simply handed over the original information.

Jiraiya took the information and looked at it, and then his face became serious.

"More than 2,000 ninja ......"

That's close to the number of people in full force.

However, since Konoha and Shayin have reconciled, the western border defense force has no pressure to deploy, so it is normal to make such a big fanfare.

"The Land of Target Birds is Closing in on the Iwakuin ......"

This is the head of the army directly at the location of the main base!

I can't sit still now.

Although according to the previous judgment, Jiraiya still believes that this is just a manifestation of the intensification of the conflict between the shogunate and Iwakure, just like the border conflict spread from west to east, the current situation is just a coincidence.

But Rao is like this, and he is still a little apprehensive.

“…… Teacher, should we hurry up and evacuate? ”

Xiao Nan saw that Jiraiya's face was cloudy, and he couldn't help but timidly tug at the corners of his clothes, and asked reluctantly in a low voice.

Since leaving the Land of Rain, she and her friends have wandered the ninja world under the leadership of the teacher, and now they have finally settled down a little.

Although the secret base that does not see the light of day is dark and damp, full of all kinds of frogs and snakes that she doesn't like, Xiao Nan prefers to stay in the small world of the cave and entertain herself compared to the time of wandering.

It's just that although she is young, she also understands that the organization she is in is not tolerated by Konoha, the most powerful ninja in the ninja world, and now the Konoha ninja army is going north, and the intention is unknown, so she can't help but think about it too much......

"It's okay......"

As a teacher, he also understands the minds of his disciples.

rubbed Xiao Nan's blue-purple hair lovingly, and comforted him: "They are just passing by, let's not go out these days." ”

"Oh......"

Xiao Nan nodded obediently, as if relieved.

"By the way, you inform Hatosuke that you don't need to come back for the time being, and keep an eye on the situation of the Konoha ninja army in the border town......"

Zilai also thought about it, and then added.

"Okay~"

Xiao Nan replied crisply, and then jumped away.

……

At the beginning of the establishment of the secret base, Jiraiya considered the existence of the white-eyed ninja, so he also consulted the two holy places, and then obtained the hidden charm of the Dragon Cave.

After the spell was activated, even the white eyes of the Hyuga clan could only see the layers of rocks, but could not peek into the secret base that hollowed out the hills.

When the Konoha ninja army going north crossed the mountain range where the base was located and went straight to the border of the land country, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief.

After all kinds of reconnaissance and ensuring that nothing went wrong, Jiraiya asked the city pestle island of Longji Cave to withdraw the hidden barrier of the charm, but he still strictly controlled the ninja frog and snake in the base to go out, and even the information transmission from all over the ninja world was temporarily stopped.

In the face of the menacing Konoha ninja army, Iwakure also felt anxious, and Tsuchikage Onoki rejected the four-tailed man's request for battle, not only withdrawing all the garrison Iwakushi in the territory of the Bird Country, but even the ninja army arranged on the border retreated ten miles to avoid a more serious conflict.

Later, a partial mobilization was issued within the village, and a group of Iwakure were gathered to wait solemnly, and finally sent an envoy to Konoha in the name of congratulating the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two villages, trying to ease the confrontation between the two sides.

And Jirai, who secretly sneaked out of the base and arrived at the town where the Konoha ninja army was located to reconnoiter the intelligence, finally relaxed completely after learning about Iwakure's movements.

It seems to be a coincidence......
