Promote the theory of threat to Konoha, why Kirigakure brings Hide! - Chapter 235
c234 An iron curtain across the ninja world, besieging Konoha
It is undeniable that Konoha is an insurmountable mountain for all forces that aspire to be the first in the ninja world.
Since the beginning of the establishment of Konoha, when Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were the two founders who swept the contemporary world, Konoha has always stood at the top of the ninja world.
Originally, everyone thought that after the death of these two generations of strong men, Konoha’s strength would weaken, but the Nine-tailed Jinchūriki Uzumaki Mito and Tobirama Senju stood up again to defend the interests of Konoha.
Moreover, it was not until the death of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha that the forces in the ninja world suddenly discovered that Konoha was not only strong in top-level strong men, but also in the number of middle and high-level ninjas in Konoha, which was also the best in the ninja world with the support of many ninja clans.
However, all this was previously overshadowed by the glory of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. It was not until the death of the two that Konoha, which was suppressed by the two, began to shine.
Therefore, during the First and Second Ninja World Wars, many forces put the attack on Konoha in the first place.
It’s just that they fought on their own during the First Ninja World War, and the Second Ninja World War was a three-nation alliance.
The failure of the Second Ninja World War to encircle Konoha also made everyone realize that if they want to defeat Konoha, either the four major ninja villages will unite, or they will first devour the other ninja villages to strengthen their strength, and then fight Konoha.
Now that the blockade of the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village has failed, it is impossible to suppress their strength before the Third Ninja World War, so as to quickly annex them in the war and then declare war on Konoha.
The four major ninja villages united to destroy Konoha first, which became the most realistic solution for the Hidden Cloud Village.
If they want to defeat Konoha and ascend to the top of the ninja world and realize the long-cherished wish of the three generations of the Hidden Cloud Village, this method is the most realistic and feasible solution.
As the head of a village, the Third Raikage naturally cannot be a brainless reckless man.
In other words, the long-term practice of the Thunder Chakra mode has given him unparalleled decisiveness. When he found that he could not economically block the Hidden Mist Village and could not realize the previous plan, he would terminate the plan very sure and turn to another way.
In the original work, he was willing to stay alone to block the 30,000 troops of the Hidden Rock Village, which was a manifestation of this decisiveness.
“Well… In that case, Dodai! Without further ado, go and discuss the alliance with them now!”
After pondering for a while, the Third Raikage suddenly had an idea in his mind, and immediately ordered Dodai to hand over his handwritten letter to the leaders of the other three ninja villages.
“Konoha has been sitting on the throne of the first in the ninja world for too long… This throne should be the turn of the Hidden Cloud Village.”
The Third Raikage looked at the Hidden Cloud Village looming in the clouds outside the Raikage Building, with a firm face.
“Each generation has its own mission… Pulling Konoha into the water is the mission of our generation, and we can’t throw the trouble to the next generation…”
The Third Raikage hated the phrase “leaving the problem to the next generation to solve” the most in his life. In his opinion, this is a manifestation of irresponsibility and lack of responsibility.
The reason why the predecessor is the predecessor relative to the younger generation is not to protect the younger generation from wind and rain and solve conflicts?
If you find a problem but don’t solve it, and leave a hole for future generations, and call yourself “believing in the wisdom of future generations”, can you still be called a senior?
Since you have found a problem in your position, you must do your best to solve it, otherwise why would the village recommend you as the Raikage?
Although the position of the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village has in fact been taken by the Night Moon Clan, since everyone in the village agrees with him as the Raikage, the Third Raikage will not let them down.
This is his governing concept as the Third Raikage!
The Raikage must charge ahead.
The Raikage must shoulder the responsibility!
This is also the fundamental reason why there has been no high-level rebel ninja in the Hidden Cloud Village since the Third Raikage in the original work!
“I swear to use the village’s sword to obtain land for the village’s plow!”
—
In the Hidden Cloud Village, the Tsuchikage Building, Ohnoki is worried about the village’s economy.
The concept of building a village in each village in the ninja world is very different, but they basically have a common concept, that is, ninjas should pay more attention to quality than quantity.
Konoha, Kirigakure, Sand Village and other ninja villages are all practicing this concept, but due to economic reasons, the number of elite ninjas in each ninja village is different.
However, among all the ninja villages in the ninja world, Iwagakure is definitely a special case.
Iwagakure has been practicing collectivism since the first generation of Tsuchikage Ishigawa.
The “will of stone” it advocates emphasizes that personal will should be as tenacious as stone, and on the other hand, it emphasizes that everyone is stone and can be replaced. Only when many stones are condensed into one piece can they become an indestructible mountain.
Under the guidance of this idea, the number of ninjas in Iwagakure is the best in the ninja world.
Normally, in a battle with less than 50 people, Iwagakure will definitely lose;
In a battle with about 100 people, the battle between Iwagakure and other ninja villages is 50-50;
If there are more than 100 people, then Iwagakure will have a high probability of winning.
This is the Iwagakure Village under the prevalence of collectivism.
However, this atmosphere also brought great defects to the Iwagakure Village. First of all, the prevalence of collectivism will inevitably lead to a lack of powerful masters.
Then there is the issue of military expenditure.
If you want to maintain such a huge ninja army, the funds required are not a small amount.
The Land of Earth has a mountainous terrain and very little land for farming.
Although there are many mineral veins in these mountains, the Earth Kingdom also needs to spend a large amount of money to purchase food from the outside world every year, and the country can only provide so much military expenditure to the Iwa Ninja Village.
After creatively developing the second application field of the ninja profession in Kirigakure Village and seizing a large amount of funds from the Land of Water, Onoki also wanted to follow the example of Kiden i Crescent Moon and follow the trend to establish the Iwagakure Village Construction Development Co., Ltd.
But the dilemma he encountered was greater than that of the Third Raikage.
Without him, the cities of the Earth Kingdom are surrounded by mountains. If you want to build roads between these cities, it means cutting through mountains and rocks. Thinking about the expenses involved will make the Daimyo of the Earth Kingdom despair.
In addition, the daimyo of the Earth Kingdom’s obsession with being the best in the ninja world is not as deep as that of the Kingdom of Thunder, so Onoki’s plan to learn from Kiden Shingetsu was directly aborted.
“Father, it’s time to eat.”
At this moment, Onoki’s son Huang Tu knocked on the door of Tsuchikage’s office and walked in with a food tray.
“Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat day by day, and the village is almost destroyed by you!”
Ohnoki, who was worrying about the village’s funds, became furious after hearing his son’s words.
As soon as he saw his son, he immediately remembered another major worry plaguing Iwagakure Village, which was the lack of a suitable successor.
His son’s strength is reasonable. Although he can’t learn how to eliminate “dust escape” with his own bloodstains, he can barely reach the shadow level with his qualifications.
But the key is that his brain is too stupid.
As a shadow of a village, strength is important, but the key is to have at least a little political acumen!
As for his own son, he was so stupid that he didn’t look like he was the son of Onoki.
Ohnoki is known as the “Two Scales” in the ninja world, so why did he give birth to such a stupid son?
Onoki couldn’t help but sigh when he thought of this. How come other ninja villages are so lucky and have so many heirs?
Among the other major ninja villages, Konoha is needless to say.
The civil strife in Konoha was ultimately caused by the too high prestige of Konoha’s heir, which aroused the fear of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Although the brat from the Yeyue clan in Yunyin Village is still very reckless, Yunyin Village has that kind of temperament, so there is no problem for that brat as the leader of Yunyin Village.
Chiyo and Ebizo of Sunagakure Village have not aged yet, and the younger generation also includes Rasa and Hayakura, both of whom are good candidates for the Kazekage.
Needless to say, Gui Deng Xinyue and Huang Tu are the same age as Wuyin Village, and they have actually mastered Wuyin Village for six or seven years now.
And let’s not talk about strength. People’s ideas for developing villages are one after another. The development of Wuyin Village in the past few years is obvious to all. If their foundation was not too weak, they might have surpassed it by now. Iwagakure.
Sometimes, the more he wants to deal with Ghost Lantern Xinyue, the more disgusted Ohnoki looks at his son.
The two of them are both the same age. One has developed Kirigakure Village vigorously, while the other now only knows how to eat. The gap between them is so big that it is inevitable that Ohnoki will be disgusted when he looks at his son.
“Hey, dad, there is saury in today’s meal!”
Huang Tu didn’t care at all about his old father’s complaints. After all, since the rise of Ghost Lantern Crescent, Onoki would always scold him a few times every month, and Huang Tu had long been used to it.
“Eh… you!”
Seeing his son like this, Onoki could only sigh helplessly, stretched out his hand and took the fish on his plate to Huangtu.
For the country of Earth, which is inland with mountains and few rivers and is far away from the sea, sea fish like saury are undoubtedly a rare luxury. It is obvious that Onoki’s actions are enough to show that he does not really dislike his son.
Soon, with the actions of the father and son, the lunch was settled. It was at this time that the ANBU knocked on the door.
“Lord Tsuchikage, the envoy from Kumoyin Village wants to see you.”
“Yunyin Village? What does that guy Ai want to do?”
Ohnoki was confused about the purpose of the Yunyin Village envoy, but in the end he ordered his men to bring him in.
Soon, the envoy from Kumoyin Village stepped into the room. After a simple greeting, the emissary from Kumoyin Village straightforwardly took out the autographed letter of the Third Raikage and handed it to Ohnoki.
“Hmm… the plan has changed, to win over the Kirigakure and Sunagakure villages to form an anti-Konoha alliance?”
Ohnoki quickly finished reading the letter from the Third Raikage, and already knew the purpose of coming to Kumogakure Village.
To be honest, Ohnoki was originally opposed to the formation of the “United Vertical” alliance to suppress the “Lianheng” alliance.
It’s very simple. The strength of Iwagakure Village is already weaker than that of Konoha and Kumogakure Village. Even if Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure Village are really eliminated, how much benefit Iwagakure Village can reap is another matter. Even if it really can’t. Even if there are few benefits, it can’t compare to the amount swallowed by Cloud Hidden Village and Konoha!
It’s not like Kumogakure Village, which is only one step behind Konoha in terms of strength. In the desperate situation of betting on the luck of the village, if it draws enough nutrients from Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure Village, it might really be able to defeat Konoha. Ye, but Iwagakure Village can’t do that!
Komoha and Kumogakure have already made their decision, unless Iwagakure is willing to join Sand Village and Mist Village to fight with Konoha and Kumogakure in a meaningless battle.
Otherwise, it is better to expect that after the demise of the two, it will be an important balancer between Konoha and Kumogakure and sway back and forth!
Now that Kumogakure has decided to take the lead in withdrawing from the “coalition” alliance and win over Sand Village and Mist Village to form an anti-Konoha alliance, it will be too wonderful for Iwagakure.
After all, if Konoha is really destroyed, then Iwagakure will become the second. If it gets enough benefits in the battle to destroy Konoha, it will not be difficult to surpass Kumogakure and become the first.
What’s more…
Onoki glanced at his son who was standing blankly by the side without any special expression, and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
“If the Hidden Rock Village has no suitable successor, I will not destroy Konoha while I am still young and can fight. When I am old and can no longer fight, I guess the Hidden Rock Village will become someone else’s possession!”
Like the Third Raikage, Ohnoki also wants to complete the destruction of Konoha in the hands of his generation.
However, unlike the Third Raikage, his starting point is not that each generation has its own mission and cannot be left to future generations.
But he is forced by the poor situation of the successor of the Hidden Rock Village.
He is afraid that if he does not solve Konoha while he can still fight, he may have to go to the battlefield in his seventies and eighties in the future, and he may not be at peace even if he dies!
After all, Konoha has mastered the extremely evil Reincarnation Technique, and the despicable people of Konoha may take his ashes and summon him from the Pure Land to fight the Hidden Rock Ninja!
Thinking of that tragic scene, Ohnoki shuddered all over and immediately agreed to the anti-Konoha alliance plan of the Hidden Cloud Village.
——
The Sand Village had no objection to the initiative and invitation of the Cloud Village.
Although the economy of the Sand Village did not decline due to the blockade of the “Hezong” alliance with the help of the Mist Village, the psychological pressure of the Sand Village was still very great with the strength of the two of the five major ninja villages against the alliance of the top three ninja villages.
When they heard that the Cloud Village was not only going to lift the blockade, but also invited them to form an anti-Konoha alliance, they were naturally overjoyed and agreed to the request of the Cloud Village.
As for the Mist Village, Kizuki Shingetsu naturally had no reason to object to the invitation of the Cloud Village.
After all, fighting against Konoha was his consistent political philosophy, so he would not do anything weird at this time.
So, under the instigation of various forces, the two major ninja groups of “Hezong” and “Lianheng” were disbanded less than a year after their existence.
Instead, the anti-Konoha alliance composed of the four countries of wind, earth, thunder and water was established.
In this regard, Kizuna Shingetsu commented with interest:
“From the desert of the Kingdom of Wind to the plateau of the Kingdom of Lightning, from the mountains of the Kingdom of Earth to the ocean of the Kingdom of Water, an iron curtain has descended across the ninja world and besieged Konoha.”
