Chapter 252 Preparing for War

Nagato's thoughts were different from those of Yahiko and Xiaonan. Yichen was too active in the process of killing Jiraiya, which was inconsistent with his previous acting style. If Yichen didn't want to kill Jiraiya, there was no need to be so serious.

This is true, Yichen would be surprised if he heard Nagato's thoughts. Nagato should be the one who understands Yichen best among the three people in the Akatsuki organization.

Perhaps because of the relationship between teaching ninjutsu, Nagato is the person who has the most contact with Masumi. Or maybe the miraculous insight of the Rinnegan can see some things that Masumi deliberately hides.

Nagato was the only one who could vaguely see that Yichen was ambitious. However, Yichen's indifferent attitude towards power and money unknowingly made Nagato ignore this.

After another discussion ended unhappily, the three of them returned to their respective residences. After Nagato entered his room, the samsara eyes in his eyes turned slightly, and then he said to the empty room: "I told you

, appear in front of me again, I will kill you."

As soon as Nagato finished speaking, a pure white figure slowly emerged from the ground, it was Bai Zetsu's clone.

"Hey, hey, don't worry, I'm just a clone, it's useless to kill me." The Bai Zetsu clone was not afraid of Nagato's threat at all, and spoke in his usual strange tone.

"How about it? Today's discussion with your two companions is fruitless. I told you earlier that mortals like them cannot understand you. You are the reincarnation of the Immortal of Six Paths. You are a god. You are here to save the world.

.”

"God gave you the Samsara Eye in order to give you the power to eliminate all resistance. Only by using force to intimidate can you bring true peace, and in the ninja world, only you can reach the height of intimidating all the little ones."

"And I am the one destined by fate to guide you on the right path. How can you kill me?"

Nagato didn't believe in the fate he said, but he also found that his power had been growing. It seemed that just like what this pure white man said, he was the only one who could possibly have the power to intimidate the entire ninja world.

.

This is true. Nagato, who was born in the Uzumaki clan, has reached a terrifying level of chakra as he grows older. But unlike the original work, Nagato is in good health and has never overused the Rinnegan.

Moreover, Nagato's development of the Samsara Eye has become more and more in-depth.

In the beginning, when he first entered the Kage level, Nagato was able to fight against Hanzo. Now after so many years, Nagato had a vague feeling that no one in the entire ninja world could be his opponent anymore.

Under Bai Zeze's deception, Nagato's thoughts began to change quietly.

Of course, the change in Nagato's thoughts was not only due to the growth in strength and Bai Zetsu's instigation, but also due to changes in the environment.

The ideals of the three people in the Akatsuki organization have not changed, and the passions of the three people have not changed, but the environment has changed. In the early days of taking over the Kawai Ninja Village, the Akatsuki organization developed rapidly, but it didn't take long for things to change.

First of all, some small countries that originally supported the Akatsuki organization began to resist the Akatsuki organization. They were afraid that the Akatsuki organization would help the River Country annex them. No matter how the members of the Akatsuki organization explained this matter, it was useless. No one wanted to put the survival of their country on a few countries.

On the conscience of an outsider.

Then came the ordinary members of the Akatsuki organization. Since the reconstruction of the Kawa Ninja Village and Nagato and Yahiko showed their Kage-level strength, they began to consider themselves ninjas of the Great Ninja Village. All their actions fell into the eyes of Nagato.

A blasphemy against the ideals of the Akatsuki organization.

The most critical thing is that Nagato can no longer see the future development direction of the Akatsuki organization. The River Country is already a medium-sized country. It is sandwiched between the two major countries of Wind and Fire and the Rain Country, and there is no room for continued growth.

Nagato was afraid, afraid that the Akatsuki organization would eventually become an organization like the ninja villages of the five major countries, attacking each other for their own benefit. Just like this time, the Akatsuki organization, an organization dedicated to maintaining peace, had to prepare for war.

Why? You are not afraid of being invaded by Konoha or Sand Ninja, but what is the difference between this and the approach of the Great Ninja Village?

Yahiko is also somewhat aware of these, but he is not as sensitive as Nagato. The River Country has not yet been governed well, and Yahiko's attention has not yet been directed to places other than the River Country. Yahiko, who is busy with internal affairs all day long, does not have Nagato to watch.

See clearly and far.

Nagato was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice that Bai Zetsu's clone had left.

Looking back to Iwa Ninja Village, Onoki and Masuchi, who returned to the village, immediately convened a high-level meeting.

Thanks to Kumo Ninja's quick movements, Yi Chen and Onoki didn't leave the village for long this time. It didn't take much time to search and hide, and it only lasted a day. But during this time, the situation in the Ninja world has changed.

It’s different.

Konoha, which suffered successive losses, could no longer suppress the careerists from all sides who were ready to take action.

For example, Ban, after confirming Jiraiya's death from Ohnoki and Masujin, Ban was the first to say: "The fourth war is inevitable, prepare to mobilize the whole village. It's just that the losses from the third war have not been fully recovered, even if it is comprehensive

The effect of mobilization will definitely not be as good as before the Third World War."

Ming also shook his head and said: "We have to report to the daimyo. Not long after the end of the Third War, the village's funds are limited. If we want to launch another war, we must get the full support of the daimyo."

Igura also said: "The material preparations are not enough, and the war has been rushed, and logistics is a big problem. In addition, the construction of the village's medical system has not been completed yet."

Although the three of them all pointed out various inadequacies in the village's preparation for war, Onoki still said firmly: "No matter how difficult it is, a war has to start. Now all the countries in the ninja world are not ready, but the general trend of the people has been decided.

The Fourth War has begun."

"What we can do is to control the intensity and scope of the war to a certain extent, or end the war as early as possible like the Third World War."

Yichen nodded and said: "But who is our enemy? Is it only Konoha? Will other ninja villages be afraid of our Iwa ninja and attack behind our backs?"

"How will Konoha respond, and what powers can Konoha use?"

"How far do other countries want this war to go?"

Yichen raised some key questions.

Ban said approvingly: "Yi Chen is very calm. These issues do need to be analyzed in advance. Countries must win over what they should win over. At least they cannot become our enemies."

Ikura thought for a while and said: "Instead of thinking about other countries' response strategies, it is better to set a goal for them."

Igura looked around at everyone and said: "The fact that we obtained ninjutsu from Konoha during the three wars can be used as a reference. To lure the three countries of wind, thunder and water to fight Konoha with this goal."

"And there is another advantage to this. Konoha ninjas who see the worst outcome will have a hard time making up their minds to fight us. At worst, they can lose some ninjutsu after defeat, so why bother fighting with us."

Yichen's eyes lit up and he said: "This method is okay. Just contact the other four major ninja villages, negotiate with Konoha in the name of formal peace talks, and ask Konoha to give each country the ninjutsu they want."

"If Konoha doesn't agree and goes to war, then it's unclear whether Konoha's top brass are willing to take the risk of defeat. Maybe Sarutobi Hiruzen will really agree to negotiate."

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen had not abdicated yet, so the ideas Yichen and the others guessed for Konoha's response were all based on Sarutobi Hiruzen's past behavior.

The meeting lasted for a long time, and finally Onoki expanded the number of participants and summoned all the jounin in the village for discussion.

After the meeting, the Iwa Ninja officially entered into full preparations for war.

Each consultant, including Yichen, also has their own tasks.

Masuchi's task is not light. Masashi, who is already a village consultant and a Kage-level commander, is directly appointed as the frontline commander. And this time Masashi will be in charge of the main battlefield facing Konoha: the southern front.

Of course, the battlefield has not yet been opened, and Yichen's task is to form frontline troops.

According to the high-level meeting, the number of troops under Yichen's jurisdiction this time will reach 6,000. Whether there will be reinforcements in the future depends on the battlefield situation and the reactions of all parties.

It is not easy to summon such a large ninja army, because the war has not yet completely broken out, and many ninjas are still performing tasks. Yichen can only summon those ninjas who have not gone out to perform tasks in batches.

This process will not be too fast, mainly because Iwa Ninja is already very arrogant and does not want to be the first to irritate Konoha.

Yichen spent five days gathering about 2,000 people in the village, and then led the 2,000 people to the southern front.

On the long southern border, there are nearly a thousand patrolling ninjas, waiting for Yichen to be recruited. The remaining two to three thousand people will slowly gather in the village and then support Yichen in batches.

Also busy at the same time as Yichen was Yi Cang.

Ikura is currently contacting the three countries of wind, thunder, and water, trying to persuade the three countries to put pressure on Konoha, or at least convey the Iwa Ninja's goals for this war to Konoha.

The preparations for the war of the Iwa Ninja went very smoothly, because the three wars achieved great results, so for the upcoming fourth war, the support of the Earth Kingdom Daimyo was very strong.

The daimyo not only paid a large amount of money, but also took the initiative to send people to contact the daimyo of Fengling and Lei to help Igura win over them.

However, as an ally of the Iwa Ninja, the Sand Ninja's preparations for war were not all smooth sailing.

In order to advance the war smoothly and grab a piece of meat when Konoha was at its weakest, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa first forcefully recovered one.

Although I won't be able to find a suitable Jinchuuriki for a while, I still sealed the one tail in a jar, so that I can at least throw it out and use it as a bomb at critical moments.

Then Luosha took advantage of the east wind of the daimyo of the land of earth to get the funds he had been coveting for a long time from the daimyo of the country of wind.

However, within the village, Rasa encountered resistance. The old forces in Suna Ninja Village suffered heavy losses in the three failed battles last time, and they no longer wanted to participate in the Fourth Ninja War.

It's just that Rasa has been waiting for this day for a long time, so how could he give up so easily? War is the best time to gain power. In this war, he wants to use Konoha's hands to cleanse all opponents.

To this end, Luo Sha took out the long-hidden trump card: Zhuo Dun Ye Cang.

In the original work, Luo Sha came to power later. At that time, Ye Cang also had a shadow-level strength. All parties in the Suna Ninja Village jointly launched a chess piece to compete with Luo Sha, so Luo Sha, who finally came to power, directly chose to get rid of Ye Cang.

But this time and space is different. When Rasha came to power, Ye Cang was just an elite jounin with potential. Rasha came to power very smoothly, and there was no dispute between the two. It should be said that Ye Cang was not qualified to compete with Rasha at that time.

opponent.

After taking the position, Luo Sha had a righteous name, and Luo Sha's performance in the three battles was much better than that of the corrupt senior officials, so Ye Cang's allegiance was natural.

At this point, Ye Cang became Luo Sha's biggest trump card. After the three battles, Luo Sha cultivated a group of cronies in Suna Ninja Village, the most outstanding of whom was Ye Cang.

When Luo Sha allowed Ye Cang to show his film-level strength, everyone backed down and no one dared to oppose Luo Sha.

With one tail under control and two more Kage levels, the others cannot suppress Rasa even if they get Chiyo's support.

Luo Sha successfully passed the decision to participate in the war and firmly controlled all aspects of war preparations in his own hands.

Then, Rasa obtained the third generation Kazekage puppet from Chiyo for the sake of justice and war.

Despite some twists and turns, Luo Sha finally successfully advanced war preparations.
