Promote the theory of threat to Konoha, why Kirigakure brings Hide! - Chapter 260

c259 Overcoming all the heroes, the position of leader

After the news of the four major ninja villages approaching Konoha came out, the entire ninja world was closely watching the final outcome of this war.

For 99% of the people in the ninja world, they basically believed that Konoha had suffered a heavy loss this time. Even if they didn’t die, it was estimated that the village’s foundation would be plundered.

Only the remaining 1% of people still firmly believed that Konoha could escape death this time. Some people even spread the rumor that Senju Hashirama was not dead that year, but had been sleeping under Konoha to support their point of view.

Under such circumstances, the public opinion in Konoha Village has become increasingly urgent.

Just a few months ago, people in Konoha often called themselves the first ninja village in the ninja world.

Even at the beginning of the war, many people believed that Konoha would overcome this difficulty like the previous two ninja world wars.

Especially after the news that Shimura Danzo instantly killed the third generation Raikage came, this trend was brought to the peak.

But just two months later, with the deaths of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Fugaku, the defeat of Shimura Danzo and the comprehensive contraction of the fronts in four directions, there is no more laughter and joy in Konoha now. All the ninja clans have locked up their courtyards, stored supplies, and prepared for Konoha to be attacked.

However, compared with these ninja clans, the numerous civilian ninjas and the majority of villagers did not react so strongly to this incident.

Because of Shimura Danzo’s efforts day and night, these people have basically all believed in “Maitreya” and have been brainwashed by this doctrine.

After Shimura Danzo carried out localization and reform, the power of this cult is basically concentrated in the hands of the leader Hatake Kakashi, and Kakashi is a sharp blade under Shimura Danzo. Given the powerful brainwashing ability of religion, these people have basically become Shimura Danzo’s supporters.

Under this situation, Shimura Danzo can fully control the situation of Konoha in a short period of time, but these believers are not fanatics after all, and they cannot last long in this situation.

As time goes by, it depends on how Shimura Danzo will break the impasse.

While Shimura Danzo was busy preparing his secret weapon to break the impasse, outside Konoha Village, Kizuna Shingetsu also officially convened an anti-Konoha alliance meeting in the name of Kirigakure.

“Tsuchikage-sama, it’s been a long time since we last met… You’re almost fifty this year, right? I didn’t expect that you’re still the leader of Iwagakure Village now. It seems that Iwagakure Village really has no successors!”

Chiyo stood at the door of the Kirigakure Village tent, looking at the people of Iwagakure Village slowly coming from a distance, and greeted them warmly and friendly.

And Ohnoki did not hesitate to fight back against Chiyo’s ridicule:

“It’s Chiyo, why haven’t you chosen the fourth Kazekage of your Sand Village? But that’s right, two Kazekages have fallen in a row in just a few years, and you should really be careful about the next Kazekage.”

After a tit-for-tat traditional meeting etiquette in the ninja world, the topic of both sides finally returned to the right track.

“I really didn’t expect that the Third Raikage, that barbarian, would die at the hands of Shimura Danzo, and what was even more unexpected was that Shimura Danzo was defeated by Hozuki Shingetsu right after him, and Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Fugaku also perished… The young people in the ninja world today are really amazing!”

When talking about this topic, even though it had been nearly two months since the incident, the two still felt deeply moved.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Raikage, Shimura Danzo, as well as Chiyo and Ohnoki, are basically of the same age, and they all emerged in the ninja world at about the same time. It can be said that these people are very familiar with each other.

But the more this is the case, the more they can feel an inexplicable absurdity from Hozuki Shingetsu defeating the people of Konoha. The similar age and status make them feel like they can empathize with each other, and they subconsciously feel a sense of fear towards Hozuki Shingetsu, the rising star who stepped on them to become famous.

“This kid set up the main venue of this alliance meeting in his Mist Village camp. On the surface, they said that they came the earliest and had the most complete information, but in fact, I think they just wanted to compete with the Cloud Village for the position of leader.”

Onoki floated out from his son’s back with his hands behind his back, and said gloatingly: “But the little Yeyue whose father just died will probably not give up the position of leader so easily. In my opinion, a good show is about to start here.”

“As far as I know, the Cloud Village camp is not far away, but you and I have been standing here for a while, and we are also Since Yeyue didn’t come, we knew that guy was going to be the last to appear and suppress the limelight of the landlord, Hozuki Shingetsu… Hehe, the leader’s position later will probably be very exciting. ”

Chiyo glanced at the leisurely Ohnoki and said to him, “If you ask me, the position of leader should be held by the old man who bears the responsibility. If Lord Tsuchikage wants this position, then my Sand Village is willing to fully support you.”

Chiyo’s heart is very clear. Regardless of the fact that the disappearance of the Third Kazekage has greatly reduced the cohesion of the Sand Village at this time, from the perspective of hard power alone, the Sand Village will definitely not be able to be the leader.

In this case, it would be better to sell it directly, or use the position of the leader to make the three families fight, and then take this opportunity to raise the price, attracting the other three families to continue to offer bids for the position of the leader to win over his Sand Village, and earn a guaranteed fee safely.

“Hehe, I’m old, my legs and feet are not good, and my waist is not good. Let the young people do this kind of fighting and killing!”

Onoki glanced at Chiyo. They were all foxes of a thousand years, so they naturally understood Chiyo’s little thoughts and didn’t fall for it at all.

For Ohnoki, who always pays attention to practical benefits, the position of the leader is just an empty title, far less coveted than the secret art inheritance and blood ninja clan in Konoha Village.

He doesn’t believe that even if he becomes the leader, he can make others hand over the secret arts or blood ninjas they seized in the war after the war.

Or if someone else becomes the leader and lets the Rock Village charge in the front, he will accept it.

Therefore, the gains of this war will ultimately depend on the ability of each party. This alliance summit is just a formality for him.

“Elder Chiyo and Lord Tsuchikage have come from afar, I am sorry for not welcoming you!”

While the two were talking, Hozuki Shingetsu, who learned that they were coming, finally came out of the camp and came to meet them.

Chiyo and Ohnoki also showed ceremonial courtesy very timely and greeted them.

It was at this time that the newly appointed Fourth Raikage finally arrived at the gate of the Kirigakure Village camp on time.

“Elder Chiyo, Lord Ohnoki, and Hozuki Shingetsu, I haven’t seen you for a long time. I hope you are well!”

As soon as they met, the Fourth Raikage clearly showed his dissatisfaction with Hozuki Shingetsu from the different names.

Seeing this, Chiyo and Ohnoki on the side also looked gloating, wanting to see how the two would end.

However, unexpectedly, Kizuna Shingetsu was not moved at all, as if she did not hear the meaning of the Fourth Raikage’s words, and invited everyone to go to the tent to discuss important matters.

Seeing that Kizuna Shingetsu did not give him an excuse to get angry, the Fourth Raikage could not really tear his face off in this situation, so he could only enter the Mist Hidden Tent with the others.

“Although our current situation is very good, the four forces have gathered in Konoha, and the overall strategic goal has been completed halfway, but objectively speaking, Konoha’s overall strength has not been greatly damaged, and we still cannot take it lightly next.”

After a simple opening speech, Kizuna Shingetsu directly pointed out the problems facing the alliance now.

“Let’s not talk about Konoha’s low- and middle-level combat power for now. After all, the ninjas from the four major ninja villages are here now. No matter how strong Konoha is, it will definitely not be able to beat us in terms of low- and middle-level combat power. We need to be very vigilant in terms of high-level combat power.”

“Although Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Fugaku have passed away, Konoha still retains many powerful ninjas including the ‘Three Ninjas’, ‘Yellow Flash’, Shimura Danzo, Hinata, Ino Shikacho and other ninja clan leaders and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.”

“Now we have the upper hand, but if these people form a joint force and break through from one point, it is still very likely to tear open our defense line and break out of the encirclement.”

Kizuki Shingetsu looked at the ninja village leaders in front of him and pointed out a possibility with a serious expression.

“Although the possibility is very small, if we push them too hard and cause them to break the jar and see that the situation is hopeless and escape without caring about the village, with their strength, once they escape the shackles of the ninja village, they will inevitably bring great harm to our villages.”

Hearing this, even the Fourth Raikage, who was extremely hostile to Kizuna Shingetsu, couldn’t help but become serious.

After all, this possibility cannot be said to be non-existent, on the contrary, the possibility is still very high.

If they were in the other place, at least they would definitely choose this way to retaliate against these ninja village forces.

Especially Namikaze Minato, the guy who mastered the space-time ninjutsu, if he really let him run away, then you chase him.

As long as he wants to run, even if the four major ninja villages unite, I’m afraid they can’t do anything to him.

“So in this case, I think there must be someone responsible for coordinating the overall situation, coordinating the forces of all parties, ensuring that all parties act in unison, and communicating with each other to check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps in time to prevent anyone from escaping.”

Speaking of this, Kizuna Shingetsu finally showed his true colors and frankly told his plan in the inexplicable eyes of everyone.

“Since I proposed it, I will dare to recommend myself… Those who support me here, please drink this cup.”

Seeing that no one in the audience made a move, Hozuki Shingetsu did not feel embarrassed, as he had expected this situation.

“It seems that you still have doubts about my sincerity… In this case, I will toast you a cup to show my sincerity!”

So he stood up very naturally and came to the side of the Fourth Raikage, wanting to pick up the wine on his desk.

Bang!

The Fourth Raikage’s right fist tightly grasped the wine glass, preventing Hozuki Shingetsu from lifting it, not giving it any face.

Hozuki Shingetsu’s face remained unchanged, and he continued to hold the wine glass with one hand, slowly but firmly lifting the wine glass under the pressure of the Fourth Raikage.

Crack!

Seeing this, the Fourth Raikage knew that if someone forcefully fed him wine, he would be disgraced.

So seeing that he was no match for Kizuna Shingetsu in his normal state, he immediately activated the Lightning Chakra mode.

In an instant, lightning flashed all over his body, his physical fitness surged, and his strength also increased greatly.

The wine glass that Kizuna Shingetsu had gradually lifted slowly fell down under his efforts.

“Alas, why bother? If you don’t accept the toast, you will be punished…”

Crack!

Seeing this, Kizuna Shingetsu didn’t care about his face at all and activated the Lightning Chakra mode at the same time.

The two ninja village leaders, who were all covered in lightning, held the wine glass in their hands and started wrestling. They were so strong that they could even clearly see the dense lightning flashing on the wine glass.

Chiyo and Ohnoki on the side just watched the two quietly, looking like they were watching a good show.

The strong currents from the two converged on the wine glass. Fortunately, Hozuki Shingetsu knew about this in advance, so the wine glass was made of chakra alloy, which could barely withstand the power of the two.

But even so, the liquid in the wine glass was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was because of the strong currents from the two that the wine was evaporating.

Hozuki Shingetsu looked down and knew that he couldn’t wait until the wine evaporated. He immediately turned on the water escape chakra mode again, and a faint cloud of mist suddenly appeared around his body. With the new force, Hozuki Shingetsu quickly gained the upper hand in this battle.

Although the veins of the Fourth Raikage’s arms were exposed and his face was red, he still couldn’t stop the wine glass from rising slowly. He could only watch the wine glass getting closer and closer to his lips.

“We really feel the sincerity of Mr. Hozuki.”

Seeing that the situation was not right, Dodai was afraid that the Hidden Cloud Village would lose a bigger person, so he secretly slapped the Fourth Raikage’s thigh, and then loudly hinted that the Hidden Cloud Village should admit defeat.

Seeing this, the Fourth Raikage also stopped his efforts angrily and drank the wine that was a toast on the surface but a penalty.

Seeing that he had dealt with one, Hozuki Shingetsu immediately turned his head and looked at Ohnoki, wanting to see what this old fox thought.

Unexpectedly, the old fox took the lead in raising his glass and expressed his willingness to support.

“Every time I see a person like Hozuki-sama, I always feel that I am old. It seems that my era has gradually left our generation… This ninja world will eventually be ruled by you young people in the future!”

Although there was a hint of taking advantage of the old age in his words, Hozuki Shingetsu didn’t care much because of Ohnoki’s straightforward toast.

As the Cloud Village and the Rock Village expressed their opinions one after another, Chiyo secretly sighed a pity and raised her glass to Hozuki Shingetsu, and then drank it down in a very generous gulp.

So, after a series of open and secret struggles, with the tacit approval of the three major ninja villages, Hozuki Shingetsu officially became the first leader of the Anti-Konoha Alliance, and was ostensibly responsible for the Anti-Konoha Alliance’s efforts to clear up Konoha.
