Chapter 277 No Human Rights in the Little Ninja Village!
Chapter 277 No Human Rights in the Little Ninja Village!
To be even more precise, it's Ohnoki who's in a hurry!
The moment the frontline ninjas brought back intelligence, he secretly led a team of Jonin to infiltrate the Land of Iron, waiting for the right opportunity!
Every country has an opportunity!
Konoha already has a Dharma Body level powerhouse, Konoha's White Fang, Hatake Sakumo!
No one knows exactly how strong they are!
The Land of Lightning is researching Lightning Release Armor; it's just a matter of time before they break through.
Sunagakure is a poor, desperate village that fears nothing.
The most mysterious village, Kirigakure, is isolated overseas and suffers from severe internal strife, leaving it unable to attend to the other four great nations.
Even Amegakure produced Hanzo the Salamander, who rose to prominence in the ninja world.
Only Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) seems powerful because it seized land in the Land of Earth, but in reality, it's nothing special!
Lao Zi and Han passed away one after the other!
The Four-Tails and Five-Tails have not yet been revived.
Given the current state of the ninja world, even if the two tailed beasts were to be resurrected...
Whether Iwagakure can recapture it is still uncertain!
Onoki realized that while Iwagakure's overall strength might not be bad, it was practically on the edge of the Five Great Villages!
They could fall from grace at any moment!
He held two diametrically opposed attitudes toward the outbreak of war.
In the event of war.
With the loss of two tailed beasts, Iwagakure might even be betrayed by Sunagakure!
What if war doesn't break out?
The most troublesome one is Konoha. If White Fang selects a few good seedlings to teach, wouldn't Konoha have a few more Dharma Body level experts?
Blocked at both ends!
Onoki couldn't fight even if he wanted to!
Thanks to the information about the Purple Spirit Flower, he finally gained a brand new idea!
"This is the village's last chance. If we miss it, we'll have to fight to the death!" Onoki sighed inwardly.
He was even more furious with Sakumo Hatake.
A samurai who turned ninja with white hair wielding a sword became the first top-tier powerhouse of the new era to surpass the Kage level!
According to Onoki's memories and the village's information, only Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha had achieved this feat.
Now there's another one, Hatake Sakumo!
Heaven has been too kind to Konoha Village!
Onoki gave the order to Kurado: "Order the main force of the village to split into three groups and surround the land of Taki!"
"There are no main force members; all three groups of ninjas are main force members!"
"The Purple Spirit Flower blooms in the Land of Waterfalls, a blessing from the successive Tsuchikage, granting Iwagakure an opportunity to rise again. We absolutely cannot miss it!"
The Land of Waterfall is bordered by the Land of Earth to the west and the Land of Fire to the south, unlike the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain, which are situated directly between these two great nations.
However, the last major battle between two film-level heroes took place in this area, and its impact was considerable.
The medium-sized ninja village of the Land of Waterfall has had its number of ninjas reduced to three digits, relegating it to the status of a small ninja village!
Because Takigakure had a Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, it suffered an even greater blow than the Land of Grass!
After Iwagakure's defeat in the Kage-level war against Konoha, they decisively launched a surprise attack on Takigakure.
I casually sent the Seven-Tails to keep the Four-Tails and Five-Tails company!
Takigakure has lost its only Kage-level shikigami.
The village was torn apart.
"Lord Tsuchikage, all the troops?" Kurodori asked. "I'm afraid many ninja clans will have objections."
Onoki's tone was firm: "Shut up if you have any objections! This concerns the life and death of the village. Anyone who dares to trip us up will be the first to be killed!"
His words were filled with a strong sense of murderous intent.
Upon hearing these words, the shadow guards around him lowered their heads.
This was the first time they had ever seen the stoic and kind Tsuchikage with such a murderous expression!
Despite the pressure, Kurita continued to ask, "Lord Tsuchikage, we understand the villagers, but what about those outside? What if Sunagakure and Konoha take advantage of the chaos to launch a sneak attack?"
Onoki said, "No! Abandon the original plan of a safe advance, and focus all actions on looting and quick battles! We must seize the Purple Spirit Flower at all costs!"
"The country of Taki?"
"Takigakure doesn't need any explanation! Announce that the other side is suspected of harboring the Four-Tails, intending to target Iwagakure!"
Brown Earth nodded.
Lord Tsuchikage has made his decision. After considering everything, let's carry it out!
Rocks can bear strength, and rocks can also be swift!
Onoki's decision was definitely not wrong.
However, the intelligence gap is too large!
Leaving aside Uchiha Yuuki, the biggest variable, there are also Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu, Senju Nawaki, Hanzo of the Salamander who was strengthened by the Chimera Ants, and Hatake Sakumo who truly comprehended the power of the Dharma Body!
A group of old coins wandered through a dark, sunless forest.
Nobody knows whether the next sound will be a gunshot or a nuclear explosion!
It all comes down to who meets first!
Therefore, Iwagakure abandoned the Kuma-ishi defense line, opening its southern side to Sunagakure.
At the same time, they abandoned the Grassland defense line, leaving the territory where the nobles were barely surviving to fall to the kunai of Konoha!
Gather all our strength!
Harvest the Purple Spirit Flowers quickly!
...
Hanzo the Salamander received a letter from Onoki.
We request that Amegakure travel north to the Land of Waterfalls to help Iwagakure find the Purple Spirit Flower!
In return, Iwagakure is willing to help Amegakure annex the lands of Kusanagi, Ishigakure, and parts of the Land of Earth!
A territory almost three times the size of the Land of Rain!
That's very sincere.
This land was given to Hanzo the Salamander, and he ruled it without any pressure.
All we need to do is continuously exploit this vast land to support the Land of Rain.
However, Hanzo the Salamander did not reply.
Mountains and rivers meet each other.
This time, it was Hanzo the Salamander's turn to use the "delaying" tactic!
The Land of Rain is thriving.
Many Amegakure genin were transformed and gained the strength of elite chunin!
If you continue training, you might even reach the combat strength of a Jonin!
This earth-shattering change made Hanzo the Salamander have extremely high expectations for steel and the Tree of Pain.
The allure of the so-called Purple Spirit Flower is nowhere near as strong as that of the Divine Tree!
Conversely, the higher the popularity of the Purple Spirit Flower, the less attention it may attract after the creation of the Divine Tree.
Also, Konoha isn't just sitting around doing nothing!
He's absolutely certain he can't beat Uchiha Yuuki!
He is very old and has entered his twilight years.
The opponent is in his prime and his strength is improving rapidly.
The gap between the two will only widen!
Of course, a strong attitude is essential!
Send two Chunin squads to loiter around the Land of Grass.
...
The Third Kazekage quickly received news that Iwagakure had withdrawn its defenses, and sat motionless in his Kazekage seat.
His eyes were filled with confusion.
Has Ōnoki completely abandoned the Land of Stone and the Land of Bears?
Who in the ninja world doesn't know how much Sunagakure longs for land with rain?
These two small countries, while not exactly rainy, are not entirely desert either!
For the other four major countries, it's like a chicken rib—useless and useless.
For Sunagakure, it was a much-needed blessing!
Has Onoki gone mad?
The Third Kazekage's mind was filled with nothing but thoughts of taking over the 'Land of Bears' and the 'Land of Stone'.
I can't think of anything else.
Sunagakure is terrified of poverty!
"Elder Chiyo," the Third Kazekage narrowed his eyes and asked with a strained tone, "Should we contact Iwagakure and ask what their intentions are?"
Chiyo pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Things aren't that simple!"
"This is a calculated move by Iwagakure!"
"Circumstances are changing, and so must the analysis of interests!"
Chiyo stood up and stood in front of the ninja world map, pointing to the Land of Earth with a dotted line drawn in the middle: "This northwest-bound dividing line, which starts from the Land of Grass and ends at the coastline of the Land of Earth, divides the Land of Earth into two major ruling areas: the nobles and the ninja villages!"
"Iwagakure occupies the northern region, while the daimyo and nobles occupy the southern region!"
"The two sides both cooperate and conflict!"
"If Iwagakure abandons two small countries, even if the war really reaches its territory, the damage to Iwagakure will be limited!"
The Third Kazekage glanced at the map markings, his expression shifting between light and shadow. He said, "Is Onoki trying to lure us into attacking two small countries to draw our forces away?"
He immediately thought, "The Purple Spirit Flower?!"
