Chapter 114 The Missing Kazekage: The Third Shinobi World War is About to Begin

Time flies, and years pass by.

Shocking news shattered the peace of the ninja world: the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure had disappeared.

Who was the Third Kazekage? He was a super strong man who was proficient in Magnet Release ninjutsu and could control a sky full of iron sand to fight.

But this top-tier ninja in the ninja world suddenly disappeared.

The villagers of Sunagakure were thrown into a state of panic, like a pack of beasts that had lost their leader.

They instantly split into multiple factions, and Elder Chiyo, who should have stepped forward to take charge and prevent chaos, was unable to utter a single word.

Because along with the Third Kazekage, his grandson, Sasori, a genius puppeteer from Sunagakure, disappeared. He was only fifteen years old but possessed extraordinary combat power.

At this point in time, the simultaneous disappearance of Sasori and Kazekage makes it hard not to suspect that there might be some connection between them.

Although no one really believes that Sasori could kill or defeat the Kazekage all by himself, the possibility that he colluded with ninjas from enemy villages cannot be ruled out.

As Sasori's grandmother, Elder Chiyo naturally faced exclusion.

In order to stabilize the situation in the village, the ninjas of Sunagakure left the village one after another to search for the whereabouts of their Kazekage.

The appearance of Sunagakure ninjas on the territory of other ninja villages shattered the false peace.

Using the ninjas of Sunagakure as a pretext, problems began to arise between and within various countries.

Various hidden dangers that were not properly dealt with during the last Shinobi World War began to surface.

Civil war, invasion, plunder—all sorts of things began to erupt.

Grass Country, Chiba Trading Company Branch.

Tetsuya sat in his office, flipping through the latest intelligence.

"It's finally starting, the Third Shinobi World War."

Tetsuya sipped his tea and flipped through an intelligence booklet that was much thicker than usual.

The Third Shinobi World War has finally broken out, which means that Madara is about to cause trouble.

"Boss, have you seen the latest intelligence?"

Is another war about to begin?

Two figures pushed open the door and came out; they were Kakuzu and Uchiha Izuna.

Izuna also noticed the unusual changes in the ninja world. He realized that a new round of ninja war was about to begin, so he simply stopped researching any forbidden techniques and rushed to Kusagakure with Kakuzu.

He knew Tetsuya very well. A new round of the Ninja World War was about to begin, which meant that Tetsuya was about to start causing trouble again.

During the last Shinobi World War, he pulled off a major stunt, making a high-profile appearance at the end of the war under the name of his older brother, Uchiha Madara, which startled the entire Shinobi world.

Who knows what kind of crazy tricks he'll pull this time? No matter what Tetsuya wants to do, he feels he can't miss it.

"Oh, you've all come! Have a seat and try some of my newly acquired tea."

Izuna and Kakuzu sat down and watched as Tetsuya poured them both a cup of tea.

The two of them picked up their teacups and took a sip, finding that it wasn't much different from Tetsuya's other teas.

"What are your thoughts on this war?"

Kakuzu shook his head in reply.

"What other opinions can there be? Isn't it just the same as before?"

"Opinion?"

Izuna thought for a while before speaking.

"I think this war is less of a brand new Shinobi World War and more of a continuation of the Second Shinobi World War."

"That can't be right. It's been several years since the Second Shinobi World War. And wasn't this Shinobi World War caused by the disappearance of the Kazekage of Sunagakure?"

Izuna explained to Kakuzu's confusion.

"The disappearance of the Kazekage of Sunagakure was just a fuse. As everyone knows, without explosives, even if the fuse is lit, it will not cause an explosion."

I think the real reason that ignited this Shinobi World War was that the last Shinobi World War ended somewhat anticlimactically. The conflicts between the various villages were not properly resolved, and all sorts of problems were bottled up inside, turning the major ninja villages and even the various countries into a powder keg.

At this moment, the fuse was lit in Sunagakure, thus triggering this new Shinobi World War.

As for why the last Shinobi World War ended so poorly, the three people present knew very well why.

That's right, it's because of those three.

In order to show off in front of his disciples, he appeared in the name of Uchiha Madara and beat up Hanzo of the Salamander.

This incredibly powerful figure, renowned throughout the ninja world, has once again appeared before everyone in the ninja world. Anyone would be suspicious of this.

If you keep fighting, what if Madara Uchiha can't stand it and comes to your battlefield to dance?

Having already passed away, who in the ninja world could stop Madara Uchiha in his prime?

To avoid being dragged into a fight by Madara Uchiha, the various ninja villages had no choice but to hastily end the war.

This sowed the seeds for the Third Shinobi World War.

"But boss, why are you telling us this?"

Kakuzu was somewhat confused as to why Tetsuya was telling them all this.

"Kakuzu, you need to understand that if you want to make money in business, especially big money, you must understand the market conditions and the industry's unspoken rules."

Only when you have enough information can you minimize the risks of doing business.

After taking a sip of tea, Tetsuya asked again.

"Now let's look at which of these ninja villages has the biggest conflict with which one, and who will become the main character in this war?"

Upon hearing this question, Kakuzu looked at Izuna, who nodded in agreement.

They both answered at the same time.

"Konoha".

If we were to discuss which of the major ninja villages had the greatest conflict with the other, it would naturally be Konoha, the biggest beneficiary of the previous war.

Not only in the last Shinobi World War, but even in the first Shinobi World War, Konoha was the biggest beneficiary, which naturally put it on the opposite side of other ninja villages.

"Now that we know this, the next thing to do is simple: keep an eye on Konoha's movements and then profit from them."

This Shinobi World War is different from the last one. Not only are the causes of the war different, but Tetsuya's identity has also changed.

Before the last Shinobi World War broke out, Chiba Tetsuya was just an ordinary merchant from the Land of Fire, and not many people knew him.

But now he is Tetsuya Chiba, the president of the Chiba Chamber of Commerce.

There are countless eyes watching. If he dares to hoard supplies and profit from the war again, just like he did during the last ninja war, the people from all the major ninja villages will definitely step in to stop him.

Moreover, having learned from the previous experience, many villages began preparing war supplies well in advance.
