Konoha: Opening Binding Namikaze Minato

Together with the Kusanagi, nearly 12,000 ninjas were divided into ten troops and headed to the border of Earth Country.

The reconnaissance force, led by Hyuga Hizashi, took the first step, with Enmon in the middle and Orochimaru in charge of the rear.

There was a large group of people, and they had no intention of hiding anything.

On the other side, Enmon and others had just set off from Caoyin Village when Onoki received news.

"Is it finally here?" Onoki said solemnly.

Immediately, he immediately gathered his men and prepared to fight.

This time, not only did Konoha send reinforcements, Iwagakure also sent reinforcements, and their number was far greater than that of Konoha, totaling ten thousand people.

With the reinforcements of 10,000 ninjas, plus the people from before, the total number is close to 20,000!

However, the quality of ninjas in Iwagakure is worse than that in Konoha. This is related to the quality of education, educational resources and education methods. Iwagakure is indeed not as good as Konoha in this regard.

In fact, this is not only the case for Iwagakure, but also for several major ninja villages including Kumogakure, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure. They learned from Konoha's ninja school model, but they did not learn everything. They felt like they were copying cats and tigers, so they cultivated them.

Ninjas are always in trouble.

Moreover, the number of ordinary people in their ninja village is not as good as that of Konoha, and the number of children with ninja talents is not as good as that of Konoha. Konoha can find children with good talents among a large number of civilians, but other ninja villages do not have this condition.

Most civilians don't have ninja talent.

You know, refining chakra also requires talent. If your ancestors have produced ninjas, then the possibility of your descendants refining chakra will undoubtedly be much higher.

If not, it will be very difficult to extract chakra, or even impossible to extract.

Even if chakra is refined, the talents of the common people of these ninja villages are still not as good as those of Konoha. The reason is very simple, they lack a Senju clan.

As the Senju clan was disbanded and integrated into the entire village of Konoha, after more than ten or twenty years, many people in Konoha have the blood of Senju. Even if they are few, it is enough to change their talents.

Just like almost everyone in the Uchiha clan can become a ninja, the Senju clan is no different. Those with the blood of the Senju clan generally have the qualifications to refine chakra.

Looking at other ninja villages, they do not have families like the Senju, so the quality of their civilian ninjas is not very good.

Of course, occasionally one or two geniuses will appear, but the probability is definitely not as good as Konoha.

······

Back to business.

Following Onoki's order, the Iwa Ninja troops quickly gathered.

After suffering the loss last time, Ohnoki did not let everyone gather together this time, but spread out to avoid being singled out by Namikaze Enmon again.

One hundred and fifty million taels had already been emptied out of his wallet. If he tried again, he would really have no money to lose.

This thousand-sword-killing Namikaze Flame Gate!

Every time he thinks of that 150 million, Ohnoki feels heartbroken and can't breathe. That money was the money he planned to buy ninja tools from the Iron Country, and it's just gone!

Now he could only ask the Iwa Ninjas to prepare their own ninja tools. Some Iwa Ninjas were so poor that they didn't even have a few shurikens and only one or two kunai.

It is said that war is all about economy. Now the Iwa ninja are far behind Konoha in terms of ninja tools. This gap in ninja tools will eventually need human lives to fill it.

So, how can this not make Onoki heartbroken?

At the same time, Ohnoki called Han and Lao Zi and said to them: "If Namikaze Enmon takes action later, we will use the previous method to hold him back and never let him take action unscrupulously!"

"If he doesn't care about us, then you two will launch tailed beast jade into their camp!"

Onoki said through gritted teeth.

He didn't believe it. The Namikaze Enmen could kill people, but they couldn't kill them?

Drop a few tailed beast jade to see if you feel bad!

If you have the ability, Konoha can bring over the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

So far, since the death of Uzumaki Mito, Iwagakure has never known who the new Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki is, and the spies they planted in Konoha have not been able to detect any news about the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

However, Onoki was not worried that the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki would actually appear on the battlefield. After all, the first two Ninja World Wars were both the first Ninja World War. In such a difficult situation, Konoha did not allow the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki to participate in the battle.

, it can be seen that Konoha will not easily let the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki step onto the battlefield.

In fact, Ohnoki was right to think so, but now is different from before. In the past, when Mito Uzumaki was still there, he could still suppress the Kyuubi.

Now it's Kushina. To be honest, the top management of Konoha don't believe that a twelve-year-old child can suppress the Kyuubi, so they don't dare to let Kushina go to the battlefield, for fear that Kushina will lose control and no one can distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.

.

You must know that the strength of the nine-tailed beast is far higher than that of other tailed beasts. Once out of control, it will be difficult to subdue it.

Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, Konoha cannot be like other ninja villages and let jinchuriki go to the battlefield unscrupulously.

Of course, the most important thing is that Konoha does not lack high-end combat power. Other ninja villages regard jinchūriki as regular combat power, but Konoha does not have it and does not need it.

······

About half a day later.

An Iwa Ninja ran up to Onoki and said, "Report to Lord Tsuchikage that we have found traces of the enemy!"

Ohnoki's eyes narrowed and he stood up instantly, "Where is it? How far away is it from us?"

"Southeast, about thirty miles."

"How many of them are there in total?"

"More than 10,000 people..." The Iwa ninja hesitated, and Onoki frowned, so he shouted: "What else is there?"

The rock ninja lowered his head and said: "We also found a large number of grass ninjas in the team, and they took refuge in Konoha."

Onoki frowned slightly. He had actually expected that Kusagakure would lean towards Konoha. After all, even the village was taken over by Konoha. It would be strange that Kusagakure didn't join him. Their bones were not that hard.

However, Onoki didn't take Kusagakure very seriously. There were only a thousand people, so what if they defected to Konoha?

And with Kusanagi's urinary nature, it's hard to say whether he would dare to fight tooth and nail on the battlefield. There's a high probability that he would just paddle through the water.

Normally, it might be better to use the grass ninja as cannon fodder, but in the event of a decisive battle, the grass ninja can easily be defeated first, which will cause a chain reaction and leave Konoha with no room for regret.

Thinking of this, Onoki's mood improved a little, and then he told people not to worry about the Kusanagi. Their numbers were higher than the other party, and it didn't matter whether there were Kusanagi or not.

at the same time.

On the other side, the reconnaissance team led by Hyuga Hizashi also discovered traces of Iwa Ninja, and he immediately sent people back to report to Yanmen.

After Yanmen learned the news, he immediately ordered everyone to stop and rest, check their ninja tools, etc.

Due to sufficient funds, Konoha equipped the frontline ninjas with a large number of ninja tools, including shurikens, kunai and even detonating charms.

Basically, every ninja can get one or several detonating charms. Genin get relatively less, while chuunin and jounin get more.

Although the detonating talisman seems to be very cheap and looks like a bad street, the actual situation is not like this. The detonating talisman is very expensive for ordinary ninjas!

Moreover, the power of a detonating talisman is equivalent to a low-level ninjutsu. When using it, you only need to inject a little chakra. It is very convenient and is loved by many ninjas.

In addition, the detonating talisman is a consumable item, so its sales volume is astonishing, and demand often exceeds supply. Especially now that we are still in the war, the price of the detonating talisman has skyrocketed.

Therefore, Konoha can provide so many detonating charms to equip the ninjas on the front line, which shows that it is rich and wealthy.

Well, I can only say that the great names and nobles of the Fire Country are very rich.

Of course, the reason why they are rich is because the Fire Country has the richest resources and the best geographical location, so a large amount of money comes in every day.

In order to protect all this, they must provide a large amount of funds to Konoha so that Konoha can win this battle.

Otherwise, once Konoha loses, the nobles like them will suffer the most.

······

While everyone was resting, Yanmen found Orochimaru.

"Senior Orochimaru, how about we go meet Ohnoki together?" Enmon came up and asked.

Orochimaru licked his lips habitually, looked at Yanmen with his feminine eyes, and nodded slightly: "Okay."

"Then let's go."

Leaving behind a wooden clone, Enmon and Orochimaru headed to Iwagakure's base.

The two of them shuttled between the mountains quickly, and suddenly Enmon asked: "Senior Orochimaru, what is your dream, to become Hokage or... to live forever?"

Orochimaru was startled and stopped instantly. Seeing this, Enmon also stopped and turned to look at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru asked calmly: "Why are you asking? Do you want to run for the Fourth Hokage?"

"No, I don't want to." Yanmen shook his head decisively, and then said, "I just want to know now if you want to become the Fourth Hokage."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and immediately smiled, "Are you doing it for your teacher Tsunade? Why, you still want to help her get rid of me. She probably won't allow you to do this."

"Senior Orochimaru is joking, I have never had such an idea, really." Yanmen said seriously: "And I am not afraid of you competing with Teacher Tsunade. With my support, you have no chance of winning."

"Oh? Even if Sarutobi-sensei supports me?" Orochimaru said with an ambiguous expression.

Yanmen tilted his head and smiled, without giving a clear answer, but asked: "What do you think?"

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "I understand, I will think about this matter carefully."

Yanmen shrugged and said with a smile, "I hope so."

Afterwards, the two continued to set off. On the way, Yanmen kept making insinuations, trying to find out whether Orochimaru had embarked on the path of pursuing immortality. If possible, Yanmen did not want Orochimaru to take the road of betraying the village.

Of course, the premise is that Tsunade becomes the Fourth Hokage. If it were anyone else, Yanmen wouldn't care.

As for Minato, he still has no chance or qualification to become the Fourth Hokage.

Because of the Flame Gate, the Third Ninja War broke out early, and Minato lacked growth for a period of time. At this time, Minato did not have the strength or qualifications to sit in that position.

Even if Yanmen used strong methods to support Minato in taking the position of Hokage, he would not be able to convince the public.

Even in the original work, it was quite difficult for Minato to become the Fourth Hokage. If it weren't for Hatake Sakumo's death, both Tsunade and Jiraiya left the village, and Orochimaru, the only one qualified to run for the Fourth Hokage, also embarked on the journey.

The point of no return, otherwise the position of the Fourth Hokage would really be inferior to Minato.

Now, with people like Konoha's Mesozoic Tsunade and Orochimaru still there, Minato has no chance at all.

Of course, Yanmen could compete if he wanted to, but he just didn't want to become Hokage.

······

After a journey, through conversations, Enmon discovered that Orochimaru had indeed had the idea of ​​pursuing immortality, but it was not as strong as his original trajectory.

It's normal when you think about it. After all, the rope tree didn't die and Tsunade didn't suffer from hemophobia, so Orochimaru's mentality was still normal.

For this reason, Yanmen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was normal, he was afraid that if it was not normal, he would have to use violent means.

Who knows that he is not good at evading with his mouth, so he can only escape with his fists.

Not long after, when the two came to Iwagakure's station, Enmon jumped up, and a wooden figure rose from under his feet, taking Orochimaru with him.

"Onoki, come out!" Yanmen shouted.

Thump thump thump...

In an instant, the sound startled countless birds, and they flapped their wings and flew away.

At the same time, Ohnoki, who heard the noise, did not hesitate and flew directly outside the camp, followed closely by Lao Zi and others.

Seeing the tall wooden figure in the distance, Onoki was shocked. Damn Namikaze Enmon, aren't they planning to do the same thing again?

Just as Onoki was making random guesses, Yanmen's voice came again.

"Ohnoki, I agree with your last proposal, but there is one thing to add. Not only can you not take action, the four-tailed and five-tailed jinchūriki can't take action either, otherwise the proposal will be invalid!"

"If you agree, I will not participate in the next battle."

Onoki was stunned for a moment after hearing this. What the hell, Namikaze Enmon really agreed?

Ohnoki didn't expect it. At that time, he just had the attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't realize it...

After thinking for a moment, Onoki immediately agreed.

Why don't you agree? Originally, the main role of the three of them was to stop the Namikaze Flame Gate, but now it's just right, there's no need to take action.

One for three seems like a bit of a loss, but in fact it is not. Instead, the loss may be Konoha. After all, their number is close to 20,000, while Konoha only has over 10,000, and even if you include Kusanagi, it will be less than 12,000. Nearly.

The gap of eight thousand people, even if there is Orochimaru in Konoha, the huge gap in numbers is not so easy to make up.

After careful calculation, Iwagakure still had a lot to gain, so Onoki immediately agreed to Yanmen's conditions, fearing that Yanmen would suddenly regret it.

However, how could Konoha not think of what Onoki could think of?

Didn’t you see that Konoha has transferred all the Uchiha clan ninjas and Hyuga clan ninjas from the southeastern front?

Oh, yes, Konoha deliberately hid it. Not many people knew about it, and Iwagakure's spies knew nothing about it.

Originally, the high-level officials of Konoha were unwilling to see the Uchiha clan perform meritorious service, but in the end, after knowing that Iwagakure had received 10,000 reinforcements, the high-level officials of Konoha relented.
