Chapter 96 The Eve of the Great War
The contents of Hai Lao's Tibetan words made Shi Lei feel a little dazed, and his heart was completely filled with shock.

The third generation of Kazekage disappeared, the third generation of Raikage died in battle, and the three parties of Yanyin Village, Yunyin Village and Konoha fought each other, and then added Sandy Village and Wuyin Village.

The five major powers are all involved, isn't this the third ninja world war?

"But judging from the timeline in the Hokage plot, the Third World War should start a year later. Why did it come earlier? Could it be because of... me?"

Thinking of this, Shi Lei frowned immediately, because the development of the matter exceeded his expectations, which made him a little unexpected.

In addition, the "Mountain Bellflower" that Ebizo mentioned also gave him a bad feeling.

He felt that Hidden Sand Village would be in big trouble!

But he couldn't tell Hai Laozang about this, so he could only persuade him by insinuating.

"Master Hai, I feel that Konoha is not so easy to be defeated. Do you think this is okay? Let's watch the other three major ninja villages beat Konoha first, and then we will take action when Konoha really dies. What do you think?"

"Of course not, that's not how wars are fought!"

As soon as Shi Lei finished speaking, Hai Laozang immediately shook his head.

"The relationship between the major ninja villages is very complicated, and it can even be said to be changing rapidly. If we just wait and see what happens, then I'm afraid we will never encounter such a good opportunity again!"

Having said that, he lightly patted Shi Lei's shoulder again.

"Don't worry, the four major ninja villages are attacking Konoha together. Everyone will do their best to attack Konoha. No matter how powerful Konoha is in the four-front battle, there is only one way to fail!"

"Then what if Konoha doesn't fight on four fronts?"

After listening to Hai Laozang's words, Shi Lei immediately put forward a hypothesis.

"If Konoha Village temporarily abandons other battlefields and regards us as the main enemy and focuses on fighting us, can we survive? Or, how long can we last?"

"This……"

Faced with the hypothesis put forward by Shi Lei, Hai Laozang was immediately speechless and frowned.

"What you said is just a hypothesis. The four ninja villages shot together. We, Hidden Sand Village, are not the strongest, nor the weakest. Why does Konoha target us specifically?"

"Because of long distance and close attack!"

Having said this, Shi Lei's face suddenly became serious.

"Among the five great ninja villages, the land of thunder, the land of water, and the land of fire are far away, and there is no competition for fundamental interests, but our land of wind and land of earth are different."

"Ok?"

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Hai Laozang frowned again.

"You mean, the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth are both very close to the Kingdom of Fire and have fundamental interests, so the Kingdom of Fire will give priority to dealing with our two countries?"

"Not two countries, but one!"

Shi Lei corrected Hai Laozang again, and explained to him.

"As you said just now, besides Konoha, Iyanin Village is also at war with Yunyin Village at the same time, and what about our Shayin Village? If you were Konoha, who would you deal with first?"

"Of course it's... hiss..."

Now Hai Laozang understood completely, and a shocked look appeared on his face.

"According to what you said, it is really possible. I know that Sarutobi Hiruzashi is a very decisive and conceited guy. He is very likely to do this!"

Speaking of this, Hai Laozang's face also became serious.

"It seems that this battle cannot be delayed. The whole army must be pressed at the beginning, and the winner must be decided before Hiruzaru Sarutobi reacts!"

Shi Lei: "╭(°A°`)╮"

You still have this idea for a long time?I'm so wasted!

Seemingly noticing the change in Shi Lei's expression, Hai Laozang immediately raised his eyebrows.

"What? Do you have a better way? Tell me!"

"Ok!"

Hearing Hai Laozang asked himself, Shi Lei nodded immediately, and then opened his mouth to him.

"My idea is not to attack Konoha. Since we misled Wuyin Village and Yanyin Village with the false news of the alliance with Konoha from the beginning, then we might as well do the fake show!"

"Really fake?"

Hai Laozang is also a person with a keen mind, when he heard Shi Lei's words, he immediately understood what he meant.

"You mean, when the other three ninja villages were attacking Muye Village, we formed an alliance with Muye Village to help them fight Yanyin Village and Wuyin Village, and get paid from them on this condition?"

"Correct!"

Seeing that Hai Laozang understood what he meant, Shi Lei immediately nodded happily.

"Not only the remuneration, but also the materials before the war, the supplies during the war, and the distribution of resources after the war, all of which can be obtained. Konoha will agree!"

"Things are not that simple!"

Seeing Shi Lei's excited expression, Hai Laozang shook his head helplessly.

"In the final analysis, our Ninja Village serves the Land of Wind. If His Majesty the Daming does not agree to form an alliance, it is impossible. What the Daming wants is the big cake of the Land of Fire!"

"..."

After hearing Hai Laozang's words, Shi Lei instantly fell silent.

He discovered that he was wrong, and had been wrong from the beginning.

War is the continuation of politics, and this sentence is also applicable in the ninja world.

In other words, Ninja Village is just a weapon, and the people who master this weapon are the daimyos and nobles of the Kingdom of Wind.

The war between Hidden Sand Village and Konoha is inevitable!

Seemingly seeing Shi Lei's thoughts, Hai Laozang suddenly sighed helplessly.

"Oh, I know you are thinking about the village, but there is no way to do it. Besides, the disappearance of the third Kazekage is probably related to Konoha. The new and old hatred between us and Konoha Village is not so easy to resolve. .”

"..."

Shi Lei still remained silent.

Even if he knew that Sandai Kazekage's death had nothing to do with Konoha's dime, but he couldn't say it.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Hai Laozang shook his head helplessly again, and then patted him on the shoulder lightly.

"Okay, you must be tired after coming so far, just take a good rest here, I will make a plan for this battle with Konoha, so you don't have to worry too much!"

After speaking, he patted Shi Lei on the shoulder twice again, then turned and left the tent.

But Shi Lei didn't seem to hear what he said, still sat there with his head down, not saying a word for a long time.

Seeing him like this, he didn't know when he came to Ye Cang outside the tent, and suddenly frowned worriedly.

"He...he should be fine, right?"

Just when she was about to go in and enlighten Shi Lei, she found that Shi Lei suddenly stood up and swung his fist into the air forcefully.

"Ma Dan, isn't it Konoha Village? Isn't it Sarutobi Hiruzen? Isn't there Jiraiya and Orochimaru? Isn't there Namikaze Minato who can fly Thunder God? I am not afraid of you Well, huh... spit!"

Ye Cang: "..."
