"Tsuchikage-sama! Konoha's team has advanced another ten kilometers, and has already set up camp in place and started to build camp, and has entered the buffer zone between us and the country of grass! ”

In the Iwa Shinobi medical camp, a Iwa Shinobi came in a hurry, looking at the three generations of Tsuchikage Onoki who rushed to the front line from the rear and reported anxiously.

"How can this be true? How unreasonable! ”

Onoki slapped the bedside table loudly, the loess on the hospital bed opened his eyes, and looked at his father weakly, although his body was very seriously injured, he still asked worriedly:

"Father, could it be that Konoha has methods that we don't know about, that's why they're so rampant?"

The Fire Country should be the one that is besieged, but from the beginning of the war to the present, what have both the Fire Country and Konoha done?

In the face of the Sand Hidden Village, which was the first to attack, Konoha directly sent a "ninja team" to directly kill the three generations of Kazekage, and also built a large-scale exhibition forest at the junction of Kaze and Sichuan.

This was followed by the only war that took place in the Land of Fire since the beginning of the war, and the team led by the heir of the Thunder Shadow and the Eight-tails Pillar Force met the Konoha ninja force led by Tatsuma Sakamoto.

The result? If it weren't for the presence of the three generations of Thunder Shadow in person, it would be impossible to say whether these Yun Ninja who had invaded the Land of Fire would have been able to escape, and even if the three generations of Thunder Shadow were present in person, they would have been defeated.

Then it was their turn to Yanyin Village, they were really aggrieved, because of the "exemplary" role of Sand Ninja and Yun Ninja, they didn't step out of the country at all, and only prepared around the border.

But that wave of wind and water, harassing and killing every day, makes them unpeaceful, and that's it. As soon as Loess thought of the battle a few days ago, when the 5,000-strong troops of Konoha suddenly arrived in the camp, there was another layer of defeat on his face.

More than 10,000 people against 5,000 people, Iwa Shinobi was defeated, and the four-tailed human pillar force who came to support was also combined by Konoha's nine-tailed human pillar force plus that wave wind and water gate, and they were jointly teased and beaten, and now the injury is more serious than the loess.

And what about Konoha? When they finally adjusted into the most suitable combat state, just solved the problem of the mentality and formation of being sneak attacked, and planned to fight with all their might, they patted their butts and left.

Leaving behind the messy Iwa ninja camp and corpses all over the ground, the Konoha ninja took away not only the victory, but also the supplies of the entire camp.

Part of the supplies were destroyed, some of the materials were looted, and more than 3,000 Iwa Shinobi were wounded, so they could only wait for the support of the village, and in the process, I don't know how much Iwa Shinobi combat power was lost.

Onoki also came yesterday with more Iwa Shinobi and material support, and it was only in the middle of the night last night that the wounded were finally settled, and by the way, he cooked for Yun Shinobi, who had been hungry for several days.

This battle directly made Iwa Shinobi the biggest joke in the ninja world today, and even some information came that Sand Ninja began to use the cloud ninja to boost morale.

Hearing his son's worries, Onoki rubbed his greasy old face and said, "Impossible, how much expenditure the Daimyo Mansion has in a year, this is simply impossible to hide."

Unless Konoha can make something out of nothing, or complete economic self-sufficiency, they will not have the means and resources to deal with the siege of Shinobi Village by other powers, this is definitely the case."

In the end, Onoki didn't dare to make a firm judgment, after all, it was too weird, it was too weird, where did Konoha get the guts?

Konoha now looks like he is not afraid of war at all, and even expects the outbreak of war, no, not now, but even earlier, it was the declaration of war by the three generations of the Kazekage? Or is it earlier?

As early as a year ago, Cloud Ninja, Iwa Ninja, and Sand Ninja teamed up to launch a retaliatory action against the civilian towns of the Fire Country?

It seems that it was indeed at that time that Konoha made up his mind to war, threw Lao Zi and Han to Yunyin Village and Shayin Village, broke the alliance of the three villages, and then took advantage of the friction and negotiation between the three villages, and Konoha made a lot of money.

Konoha has no intention of mediating the war at all, this is not a decision that can be made by the leadership of Sarutobi and others, and is more like a more radical person, a more radical person than the young Sarutobi Hizai who led the Second Ninja World War.

Can. Why?

Where does Konoha's confidence come from? Konoha was indeed the victor of the Second Ninja War, but it was not the one that benefited the most.

Because after the war, Konoha spent too much money and resources in order to settle the crime of "starting a war", aiding the country of rain and assisting the country of rain in rebuilding, and at the same time, the reconstruction projects of several small countries in the north were almost the responsibility of Konoha and the country of fire.

And Konoha died too many people in the Second Ninja World War, a whole generation of thousand-armed combat power, as well as those Uchiha who died in the Northeast Battlefield, not to mention countless civilian ninjas, the pensions of these heroic spirits, Konoha is almost paid at the top.

In contrast, the Land of Earth and Iwain Village, the Land of Thunder and the Cloud Hidden Village, were the beneficiaries of the Second Ninja War, because they did not participate in the war head-on, and through the years of war, they reaped countless benefits from it.

For example, Iwain Village, through the sale of ninja equipment, the provision of security, etc., from the Land of Rain and several small countries around it, have obtained countless wealth.

As the biggest beneficiary, Onoki didn't dare to say that he had the ability to deal with the joint invasion of other ninja villages, so why did Konoha rely on it?

It's only been a few years since the end of the Second Shinobi War? In less than ten years, it can even be said that the invasion of the border and the infiltration of the interior, various countries and ninja villages have not stopped, and in just these few years, Konoha may not be able to complete its recuperation, let alone further development.

Especially in terms of combat power, the cultivation of ninjas is quite time-consuming, even if because the war is approaching, each village will relax the selection and promotion criteria for ninjas, but a ninja, even if it is the training cycle of the lower ninja, the average is close to four years.

It is even more difficult to count the manpower and material resources spent, not to mention that with this money, does Konoha have so many children?

Rubbing his greasy face again, Onoki looked at the person who came to report and said, "Send a letter to question Konoha, just say that the place where the Konoha troops are now has always been the inherent territory of our land country, and ask them to withdraw immediately and give compensation." ”

This is just an innocuous diplomatic tactic, and Onoki doesn't expect Konoha to quit because of this, but now that Iwa Shinobi is demoralized, there must be a reason to stimulate them if they want to go to war again.

For example, from the war of foreign expansion to the battle to defend the homeland, the former is used as a reason in the case of victory, and the latter is flexibly changed when it is frustrated, so that the morale of the team can be maintained at a certain height and will not fall.

"Yes! Tsuchikage-sama! ”

Naiwa Shinobu turned to leave, Onoki sat in his seat, pondering, occasionally sighing a few times, the loess in his eyes, anxious in his heart, not knowing how to help his father and the village.

"Old man."

On the other hospital bed, Lao Zi, who was wrapped in bandages and couldn't distinguish his appearance, suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "What crime did Han and I commit?" ”

"Nonsense! You are the heroes of Yanyin Village, where did the sin come from? ”

Onomu frowned, and said righteously, Lao Zi snorted and said: "In addition to you and me, there is only your son left, do you think Loess shouldn't even understand this?" ”

Loess's lips squirmed, in fact, he could understand it, but it was difficult to accept it, and he no longer argued with his father, after all. My father always thought about the village.

Onoki showed dissatisfaction on his face and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Let Han also go to war, the village does need us now, doesn't it?"

"He didn't pass the mental state assessment and couldn't go to war."

"He just told the truth, actually. I don't want to be a ninja anymore, are you going to take me back? ”

Hearing Lao Zi's words, Onoki's face also sank, and he asked, "Are you going to be angry with the old man?!" Your mission, from the day you became a human pillar, the old man told you! ”

"But. . . What about before becoming a human pillar force? ”

Lao Zi turned his head hard and looked at Ohnoki, Ohnoki's expression froze, before becoming a human pillar force. How does he know which child will succeed? Moreover, once the truth is told, those children at the beginning will inevitably resist.

Even a little bit will ruin the village's plans, and if everything is really told in advance, maybe Lao Zi and Han will not be able to become human pillars.

Onoki suddenly lowered his head, avoiding Lao Zi's gaze, and just said: "You also have to be considerate of the difficulties of the village, the village can't do without you"

"Can't live without us? It's inseparable from the tailed beast, right? If there is a more suitable person for the pillar force candidate. We're probably "Burubi". ”

"Nonsense! How could an old man do such a thing? ”

"Haha~ cough cough. Don't kid yourself, old man, before the power of the tailed beast in my and Han's bodies recovered, do you dare to swear you didn't have such thoughts? ”

The atmosphere in the ward was even more stagnant than when he had just reported on the situation of the Konoha troops, and Loess simply closed his eyes, unwilling to mix, after all, he couldn't change anything.

Lao Zi was silent for a long time, and said: "Let Han out, and when the war is over, I will leave the village, and when the time comes, you can punish me at will."

Of course, maybe I'll die on the battlefield before then, but that's fine, so you don't have to make a choice. What do you think? Geezer? ”

Ohnogi tugged at the sheets of the loess, his back molars kept biting, and under Lao Zi's gaze, he said, "The old man agreed." But you can't do anything to endanger the village, or the old man will arrest you personally! ”

"Hmm."

Old Zi turned his head, looked at the ceiling, and then said, "Before I die, I will return the Four Tails to you, or your successor." Anyway, Konoha is going to let go, how long do you have to sit in the position of the Tsuchikage? ”

"Wait for Sakamoto Tatsuma from Iwakuin Village to appear, otherwise the old man doesn't know who can do better than the old man damn Konoha! How can there be so many geniuses?! ”

Hearing Ohnogi's impotent and furious words, Lao Zi teased, "This is what you really think? Or is it just an excuse that you don't want to step down? After all, no matter how you look at it, you look like a power-hungry person. ”

"Stinky boy! Are you going to be angry with the old man?! If you can have the talent of Tatsuma Sakamoto, the old man will step down today! ”

"Heh~"

Ohnoki was so angry that he jumped directly on the stool, rolled up his sleeves, showed his fist, and said, "Don't think that if you lie on the hospital bed, the old man won't dare to teach you a lesson!" ”

"Click~"

"Ahh Old man's waist"
