Promote the theory of threat to Konoha, why Kirigakure brings Hide! - Chapter 276

c275 Before the last drop of blood was shed in the East Continent, Kirigakure

The fact that Hozuki Shingetsu became a daimyo did not stimulate the domestic people as much as the foreign people.

In the Land of Water, from the nobles to the common people, everyone has a full understanding of Hozuki Shingetsu’s ambitions through his various actions in the past few years.

From being the first daimyo’s son-in-law at the beginning, to being awarded the Nine Gifts in the war of usurpation of the throne by Mizutsu Fu, being praised and worshipped without a name, entering the court without bowing, and wearing swords and shoes in the palace, and then forcing Mizu Yuko to take the throne two years ago, and becoming the husband of the daimyo himself, to now, the military and political affairs are all “one”, it can be said that his ambitions deep in his heart are fully displayed.

In the Land of Water, there is even a saying to describe this phenomenon, that is, “Hozuki Shingetsu’s heart is known to everyone.”

Therefore, compared with the Land of Water, those ninja people who do not know the truth are more shocked by Hozuki Shingetsu’s sudden change of identity.

After all, since the Six Paths Sage founded the Ninja Clan, the ninja world has always upheld the tradition of nobles and ninjas not interfering with each other, and even nobles being superior to ninjas.

This move by Hozuki Shingetsu not only challenges the secular ninja concept of the ninja world, but also challenges the status between ninjas and nobles for thousands of years.

Coupled with Hozuki Shingetsu’s personal strength now exposed in the ninja world, and the blessing of the East Continent for the overall strength of the Hidden Mist Village, this series of chips added up, and finally from the moment Hozuki Shingetsu usurped the title of Daimyo, it successfully became the last weight on the scale, completely provoking the hostility of the ninja villages and Daimyo of various countries towards the Hidden Mist Village.

At this moment, not only did the ninja villages see the huge threat of the Hidden Mist Village, but the Daimyo of various countries were extremely angry at Hozuki Shingetsu, who usurped the throne, and summoned the leaders of the ninja villages of various countries to express their dissatisfaction with the Hidden Mist Village and their opinions on Hozuki Shingetsu.

In addition to these relatively unrealistic verbal opinions, the daimyo also stated that they would take the lead in organizing the Anti-Kirigakure Alliance and provide sufficient economic support for the next battle between the various ninja villages and the Kirigakure Village.

After this biggest worry was resolved, the establishment of the Anti-Kirigakure Alliance was a natural thing.

——

In the capital of the Iron Country, the headquarters of the former International Ninja Organization, the four major ninja villages and some peace-loving “people with lofty ideals” all gathered together to discuss various matters regarding the Anti-Kirigakure Alliance.

In the two years after the Third Ninja World War, due to the unprecedentedly clear international situation, the role of this international ninja organization for the Kirigakure Village can be said to be basically negligible.

Regardless of the content, the topic of each meeting must be the collective suppression of the Kirigakure by the various ninja villages. Therefore, after experiencing several such incidents, Kizuna Shingetsu simply announced that it would directly withdraw from the International Ninja Organization, giving up the opportunity to expand its international influence and fully shrinking its forces to prepare for the next war.

Therefore, the current international ninja organization has completely transformed into a base camp for anti-Kirigakure forces since the withdrawal of Kirigakure.

However, the atmosphere in the base camp at this time was not harmonious because of the appearance of a strong enemy, but was also in a tense atmosphere.

“Lord Ohnoki is almost 60 years old now, right? Haven’t you retired yet? I’m afraid you are the oldest among the shadows of various ninja villages now? You haven’t stepped down at this age, are you greedy for power or is there no successor in the village?”

As soon as the fourth generation Raikage met, he launched an attack on the age and successor of the Iwagakure Village, which must be mentioned every time they met.

Although the third generation Raikage did not die at the hands of the Iwagakure Village in this world, the adjacent land area and the tiny gap in strength between the two still made the words between the two full of gunpowder.

“There’s nothing you can do when you’re old. You have to accept your age, right? As for the successor of Iwagakure Village, I think it’s not a big problem. After all, compared to some people, I’m still alive, right? This person, let’s not talk about how he spoke when he was alive, but if he dies, it’s all over, isn’t it?”

Onoki was not angry at the provocation of the Fourth Raikage. Instead, he looked at him with a smile. He didn’t mention the deceased Third Raikage in his words, but he mentioned the Third Raikage everywhere.

“You old thing…”

When it comes to talking, the Fourth Raikage is no match for the cunning Onoki. Not only did he fail to provoke the other party’s anger, but he was made restless by the other party.

“Ahem… Let’s not talk about these old things for now. Everyone, don’t forget the main purpose of our coming to the alliance this time.”

A handsome young man with blond hair stood up to smooth things over. The red and white Hokage’s divine robe behind him fluttered in the wind, and the five red characters “Godaime Hokage” were printed on it.

“Heh! Konoha’s new Hokage, I haven’t settled accounts with you for the good things you did when the Third Ninja World War ended!”

“I just don’t know if your current strength still matches Konoha’s former status?”

The Fourth Raikage didn’t buy Minato Namikaze’s account, or rather, deep in his heart, he was still deeply wary of Konoha at that time.

Konoha has been the number one in the ninja world for decades, and behind it is the richest Fire Country in the ninja world. Even though it was slaughtered a lot in the Third Ninja World War, after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

In addition, the fifth generation Hokage Minato Namikaze made great achievements in the Third Ninja World War. It can be said that Konoha is still very threatening in the hearts of major ninja villages.

“Okay, this childish quarrel is meaningless for our gathering. Let’s get straight to the point and discuss how to deal with the Hidden Mist Village!”

Rasa of the Hidden Sand Village knocked on the table impatiently. I don’t know if it’s because of ignorance. Whether in terms of personal strength or the ninja village behind him, Rasa, who is the weakest of the four, seems particularly tough at this moment.

“If you ask me, what tactics are needed? Just like the last time we besieged Konoha, our four families will attack from four directions: southeast, northwest, and northeast. Not only is the operation simple and does not require mutual cooperation, but the key is that it also saves the problem of unified dispatch… Or is there anyone interested in the position of leader?”

The Fourth Raikage slapped the table, and without caring about Minato Namikaze’s face, he directly proposed to imitate the tactics used by the last alliance in the Ninja World War.

But then he realized that something was wrong – the inherent geographical location of the Kirigakure, the characteristics of the island hanging overseas, destined this kind of surrounded combat, which has a great guerrilla advantage for them.

Although several countries are close to the ocean, when it comes to naval battles, the Kirigakure is definitely the best.

There is no other reason, this is determined by the inherent geographical environment.

Whether it is the number of water-style ninjas, the experience of naval battles, or the performance of ships, the Kirigakure is definitely far ahead of other ninja villages.

Unlike Konoha, which is located in the ninja world, in this case, once surrounded on all sides, the Hidden Mist Village, as long as they are not stupid, will definitely use their own naval characteristics to fight with more people and fight guerrilla warfare.

Moreover, no matter how reluctant they are, they have to admit that at this time, Kizuna Shingetsu has actually become the strongest in the ninja world.

If the four of them fight alone, I am afraid that except for Minato Namikaze who has mastered the space-time ninjutsu and Ohnoki who can fly, the other two may not even be able to escape with their lives.

It can be said that whoever encounters will die.

So in this case, it is definitely not possible to divide the troops, especially when fighting at sea, the troops must be concentrated and rely on the advantage of numbers to fight.

As expected, as soon as the Fourth Raikage finished speaking, he was ridiculed by Ohnoki. The Second Tsuchikage and the Second Mizukage died together. It can be said that the Hidden Mist Village is the country that knows the Hidden Mist Village’s naval skills best.

Ohnoki ridiculed the Fourth Raikage for being a barbarian in the mountains, who has never seen the ocean and does not understand the complexity of the ocean.

The fourth Raikage fought back on the spot, implying that the other party was interested in becoming the leader. Finally, under the mediation of Minato Namikaze and Luosha, everyone reluctantly came up with a plan.

In terms of economy, block all major ports and strictly limit the import of materials to the Land of Water.

In terms of military, the most critical thing is that when crossing the sea, each ninja village will concentrate its forces for coordinated operations. After landing in the Land of Water, the Chunin and Genin will be divided into four directions according to the organization and fight on their own.

This force does not seek to advance, but only to disperse the Kirigakure forces and delay the opponent’s time.

On the other hand, all the elite jonin will be gathered to form a special action team. Under the unified command of the Joint Staff, they will rush to the capital of the Land of Water and capture the thief and the king.

The four ninja villages all understand that although the Land of Water and the Kirigakure are developing in full swing, the key to all the problems of the two is actually tied to Kizuna Shingetsu.

As long as Hozuki Shingetsu is solved, the Hidden Mist Village will even collapse under various internal and external troubles.

“So, the key to everything now is how to solve Hozuki Shingetsu.”

Minato Namikaze briefly introduced the information about Hozuki Shingetsu again, focusing on the two important information about his Sage Mode and Samsara Eye.

“Hatake Kakashi has a pair of Mangekyō, which can be considered as a combat force.”

Minato Namikaze threw out a brick to attract jade, and revealed one of his trump cards.

With the past of the master-disciple relationship, and Minato Namikaze had persuaded Hatake Sakumo before he committed suicide, plus there was a common enemy like Hozuki Shingetsu, so with the efforts of Minato Namikaze, the two finally got in touch.

“With the future development of the Rain Country as a bargaining chip, Salamander Hanzo can be fought for.”

Luo Sha tapped the table with his fingers and proposed an idea.

“Recently, a mercenary organization has appeared in the ninja world. Its leader has mastered the space-time ninjutsu, so he can be lured to come with money.”

Onoki opened his eyes and revealed a piece of information.

In this way, with the collective efforts of all the Kage, all the ninjas with some strength in the entire ninja world were included in it, and an elite team was formed to prepare for the decapitation operation.

On the other hand, while the anti-Kirigakure alliance was in full swing, the Kirigakure Village also received the news and was preparing for war at the same time.

——

“Although the four nations of wind, earth, thunder and fire have formed an alliance, considering the past hatred and their respective positions among the four ninja villages, it is obviously impossible to put aside their grudges and gather together to form a coalition. Even if they form a coalition, they are just a group of scattered sands, and there is no cooperation between them at all.”

In the Hidden Mist Village, with the nod of Kizuna Shingetsu, Akiba Masanobu stood up and talked freely facing the huge map of the ninja world hanging on the wall.

“From a strategic point of view, there is an essential difference between uniting troops and dividing them into four groups, unified command and fighting separately.”

“So in this operation, tactics such as interspersing, detours, and besieging points to attack reinforcements must be what we need to focus on.”

“What’s more special is that this time we are fighting at home, and the vast ocean is our strong backing, so this first naval battle is particularly special in this battle.”

“Because of the East Continent, our armored warship technology is ahead of the ninja world, and the number of water-style ninjas is the highest among all ninja villages. We can definitely make a good start in the naval battle and let the other side See what a naval battle is like. ”

Hearing this, Kizuki raised his hand to interrupt Akiba Masanobu’s statement, stood up and looked around and said:

“Since it is a home battle, we must make full use of the advantages of this home battle… When the war begins, we will announce the order that Kizuki supports any righteous people to attack the alliance transport ships. Kizuki will firmly support this righteous behavior and will purchase the goods on these transport ships at a high price. And these warriors can go to any port of Kizuki to repair at any time. ”

The privateering license is the key to defeating Spain with the British and becoming the overlord of the sea.

Kizuki will naturally not forget this move in the same geographical location.

Once this decree is issued, it can be expected that the wandering ninjas in the entire ninja world, with the Kizuki as the backing, will definitely not be able to resist the greed in their hearts and take risks even if the number of the coalition forces on the opposite side is dozens of times theirs.

Under the gaze of so many eyes, no matter how strict the protection of the coalition forces is, they will definitely be succeeded. Even if the price offered by Kirigakure is higher, it is still unknown whether someone will embezzle.

Watching Kirigakure sit down, Akiba Masanobu thought for a while before adding:

“The decision made by the daimyo just now not only dealt a heavy blow to the coalition’s logistics supply line, but also broke the coalition’s blockade of our supplies to a certain extent.”

“Once the war starts, it is foreseeable that the entire continent will block our supply imports, so the exchange of supplies with the East Continent has become our lifeline and must be taken seriously.”

“It can even be said that the material connection with the East Continent is related to whether we can win this war.”

“In a word, Kirigakure will never cease fighting before the last drop of blood has been shed on the East Continent!”
