Chapter 25
“Because the Kingdom of Rain continues to expand its military power, it will pose a threat to neighboring countries, including us, Konoha.”
“What do you think will happen when a country’s ninja village is strengthened without leaving any room, and when the village’s military strength reaches its peak?”
“war!”
The water gate is open at one point.
Will there really be a war?
He was startled by his guess.
“Yes, it’s war.”
Jiraiya nodded seriously:
“When a village’s military strength reaches its peak, if the village still wants to develop, there is only one way to go, and that is to launch a war with other countries.”
“Rely on war to plunder resources and populations, annex other countries’ territories, and strengthen themselves.”
“The Rain Ninja Village in the Land of Rain is currently in this state.”
Minato has never experienced war, so he naturally doesn’t understand the cruelty of war.
But Jiraiya knew very well that once the war broke out, it would sweep across the entire ninja world.
“Jiraiya-sama, the team ahead encounters the ninja troops of the Rain Ninja Village. The team requests support.”
The ANBU ninjas rushed into the cave.
Jiraiya sighed, his trouble was coming.
The signs of the rain ninja village launching a war with other countries are becoming more and more obvious, and Konoha continues to send ninjas into the country of rain to gather intelligence.
As time goes by, the friction between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.
He even got angry.
“The Rain Ninja Village is demonstrating. Hanzo’s purpose is to warn us Konoha.”
“According to the information obtained by ANBU, Gen, and spies, under the leadership of Hanzo, the strength of the Rain Ninja Village is no weaker than our five major Ninja Villages.
Once a war breaks out, the Fire Nation will be the first to suffer the baptism of war. ”
“So I suggest that we should nip the danger in advance and never allow the Rain Ninja Village to become powerful and start a war with us Konoha.”
Danzo slammed the table hard and said angrily:
“Hanzo sent people to surround and suppress our Konoha ninjas to warn us Konoha.
Sarutobi, at this time, do you still expect Hanzo to sit down and negotiate with you calmly? ”
Konoha’s intelligence spies on the Rain Ninja Village are endless, and this move seems to have angered Hanzo, the leader of the Rain Ninja Village.
Under Hanzo’s order, the ninjas of Rain Ninja Village began to encircle and suppress the people of Konoha.
Even Konoha’s request for negotiation was ignored.
Really want to start a war?
And Konoha still took the initiative to initiate a war!
This is not the result that the Third Hokage wanted, but the situation is pressing.
Last year, the Country of Rain only acted a little aggressively and seemed to want to attack the Country of Grass.
As the Country of Grass is an ally of Konoha, Konoha naturally cannot sit idly by.
When the Anbu and Gen ninjas entered the Rain Country, coupled with the intelligence transmitted by the spies, they were undoubtedly telling the Third Hokage a fact.
That is, Hanzo is not interested in the Country of Grass, he values the Country of Fire!
Your Rain Ninja Village wants to invade the Kingdom of Grass, but I, Konoha, will not allow it, not to mention that you, Hanzo, still want to attack the Kingdom of Fire!
Do you really think you are a ninja village from the top five countries?
This is why Danzo is so angry.
Hanzo despised them.
All requests for negotiation were ignored, and my face was swollen.
“Once Konoha launches a war against the Rain Ninja Village, the war will inevitably sweep through the entire ninja world. Have you thought about the consequences?”
Danzo is a hawk. He believes that Konoha should take the lead in attacking and not let the war burn into the territory of the Land of Fire.
Koharu and Mito Kadeni moved to bed, but they thought Danzo’s words made sense.
Since Hanzo doesn’t know how to live or die, Konoha will teach him how to behave.
Even if Konoha is willing to negotiate to maintain peace, the Rain Ninja Village is not willing, and Hanzo simply ignores them.
“If Konoha doesn’t declare war on the Rain Country, won’t the war spread to other countries?”
Danzo sneered, looked at the Third Hokage and said:
“Sarutobi, don’t forget that since the first Ninja War, the strength of the Ninja Villages in various countries has been restored. Not only the Rain Ninja Village has signs of waging war with other countries, but also other Ninja Villages.”
“If we in Konoha do nothing, we will just be beaten passively.”
“Do you choose to take the initiative, or do you fight back after being beaten?”
The Third Hokage frowned.
He hasn’t made up his mind yet.
Because once a war breaks out, the situation may be beyond Konoha’s control at any time.
As the leader of Konoha, he did not want to see this situation arise.
One wants to fight, the other wants to negotiate.
The Third Hokage and Danzo have a dispute
Down.
Finally, Xiaochun, who is a member of the elders group, put forward his own opinion.
“Sarutobi, even if Konoha doesn’t take the initiative to declare war on the Rain Ninja Village, we still have to be on guard against the Rain Ninja Village’s actions. The flames of war must not burn into the Land of Fire.”
“Therefore, I suggest sending troops to station at the border to prevent the Rain Ninja Village from sneaking into the Land of Fire.”
“I agree.”
Mito Monohan voted for Koharu to be transferred to another dormitory.
If you don’t want to start a war rashly, then send ninja troops to station at the border to prevent the Rain Ninja Village from suddenly attacking the Country of Fire without respecting martial ethics.
“snort!”
This is obviously not the result Danzo wants. What he wants is to directly launch a war, not to take precautions.
Unfortunately, the Third Hokage did not agree with the war. Koharu Koharu and Mito Kaden who were originally on his side changed the direction of the war, which made Danzo very unhappy.
He lit the fire and took a few deep puffs of the cigarette. After careful consideration, the Third Hokage finally made his choice.
“In that case, then issue a call-up and send troops to station at the border.”
Allowing the ninja army to station at the border can be regarded as an invisible provocation and defense, but provocation is better than a direct declaration of war.
As the order came from the Hokage’s office.
The announcement quickly spread throughout Konoha.
Recruiting ninjas to station on the front line. Is this going to be a war?
For a time, the entire Konoha was filled with the atmosphere of war.
“It seems that the Second Ninja War is about to break out.”
Qianyue, who saw the announcement, knew that the Second Ninja War was coming.
The strength of Yu Ninja Village during this period was really strong, coupled with the infinite expansion of Demigod Hanzo.
As long as there is a slight disturbance, the war between Konoha and Yu Ninja Village will definitely break out.
The movement in Konoha will also attract the attention of other ninja villages. The major ninja villages that have been recuperating for many years will not let go of this opportunity for external expansion.
In the eyes of many people, the Fire Nation is always a character who gets beaten and then passively fights back.
As everyone knows, the party that initiated the Second Ninja War was Konoha.
The atmosphere of war is getting heavier and heavier, and people in the whole village are discussing the war non-stop.
With Konoha’s ninja troops stationed at the border, the response from the Kingdom of Rain was even more intense than that of Konoha. The same ninja army was stationed at the border, and there was a sense of tit-for-tat with Konoha.
And the Rain Ninja Village is working hard to encircle and suppress the Konoha ninjas who enter the Rain Country.
In addition to the ninjas of Konoha, the ninjas of the Wind Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom are also included.
Hanzo seems to want to build the Kingdom of Rain into an iron barrel and strictly prohibit ninjas from other countries from entering the Kingdom of Rain.
This was an unprecedented first for the five major ninja villages.
The five great ninja villages who were aloof felt that they had been provoked by the provocation from the small ninja village.
Now let alone Konoha’s thoughts on the Rain Ninja Village, even the Sand Ninja Village and the Iwa Ninja Village began to feel unhappy with the Rain Ninja Village.
In the Kingdom of Wind, inside the Kazekage’s office in Sand Ninja Village.
The Third Kazekage, known as the strongest Kazekage, thought this was a perfect opportunity.
