Konoha's traitor master

Chapter 46

Within a few days after Qingye received the news of the defeat of Kirikage Village in the Kingdom of Wind, this information had been placed on the desks of senior officials from various countries.

Then the Tsuchikage and Raikage complained at the same time: "Kirikage Mana!"

But back then, we continued to deal with the domestic rumors caused by the delay in action of the troops.

Aoba also had a share of credit for this. He had always believed that the turning point of the Third War was when the Kingdom of Thunder attacked the Kingdom of Earth.

But countries place spies on each other, who can say for sure how the rumors started?

Ye Cang's triumphant return in the Kingdom of Wind gave the ninjas of Sunagakure Village a shot in the arm and pushed the defense line even harder.

After Aoba reported it to the top management of Konoha, he began to incite public opinion in Sunagakure Village.

Aoba thought that the battle with the destruction of the Kirigage Village would have the greatest impact on the situation in Kawa no Kuni.

But the other protagonist of this battle was ignored. After Kirigakure Village suffered a defeat, internal public opinion exploded immediately.

The commander of Kirigakure looked at the thick stack of letters from home in front of him without any thought of taking a look.

He knew that this kind of behavior would cause dissatisfaction among the village elders, and that he would soon lose his power and even his life.

But he also knew that if the public opinion issue within the Kirigakure army was not dealt with as soon as possible, the decline of the entire Kirigakure village might be imminent.

Negative opinions within Kirigakure are: "Why are we so weak?" and "Why are we fighting?"

The failure of the Country of Wind and the unfavorable war situation of the Country of Fire caused the confidence of the ninjas in Kirigakure Village to decline step by step.

Kirigakure Village originally lacked cohesion. Most of the ninjas were trained by the top management to be emotionless. They only knew how to obey orders, complete tasks, and then receive rewards.

The relationship between ninjas and the village has become a very simple relationship of interest.

In normal times, when they find that the mission cannot be completed, many ninjas from Kirigakure Village will choose to defect. Even if there is a special pursuit force, defecting may lead to death, but if the mission fails and returns, you will also suffer punishment, which may be worse than death.

cruel.

Because of the lack of cohesion, Kirigakure Village implemented a very cruel and high-pressure management policy internally.

After the Wind Country was wiped out, the ninjas in Kirigakure lost their confidence in winning the war, so they also lost the reason to go to the battlefield.

The sober people in Kirigakure Village know that Kirigakure Village needs a victory to promote internal reforms, but most ninjas who have been born in Blood Mist are not so sober.

Kirigakure Village controls ninjas through profit and high pressure. In the simple concept of most ninjas in Kirigakure Village, there are only penalties and no rewards for mission failure. Since there are no rewards, why am I working hard on this battlefield?

As a result, the troops in Kirigakure Village were in chaos and even began to defect.

The commander of Wuying knew that he had to make a decision.

And his decision was a desperate one!

...

When Aoye received the information that the troops from the Kingdom of Water were gathering, he was a little surprised but not surprised. Although Aoba was not responsible for the public opinion situation in Kirigakure Village, he also obtained the information immediately.

So Aoba quickly gathered Jiraiya and the two clan leaders through the psychic beast.

The four met in Aoba's tent.

Aoye acted calmly. Although the plan was for the Kingdom of Water to take care of it at the end, Kirigakure Village was in a hurry to kill people, so of course Aoye would not be polite.

However, Aoba needs to carefully plan the chain reaction that may occur after defeating Kirikage.

"The rapid deterioration of the situation within the Kingdom of Water was beyond my expectation." However, as the architect of the overall strategy and the person in charge of intelligence, Aoba pretended to review himself.

By the way, he expressed that the public opinion issues within Kirigakure Village have nothing to do with him.

Because we follow the original plan and control the pace of the fight, although the war will last longer, Konoha's losses will definitely be smaller. Although Konoha has a chance of quick victory in a head-on battle now, the losses will be

will become larger.

In the original book, the situation of Konoha in the Kingdom of Water can be said to be extremely unfavorable. Not only are the number of troops smaller, but most of them are student soldiers with only cannon fodder strength.

In the early stage, Kirigakure Village should be in a very good situation on the battlefield, and even the Jonin Ao of Kirigakure Village received a precious Byakugan in this battle.

Something happened to the Hyuga clan, and it can be seen that Konoha was really in a terrible state at that time.

In the original work, the cause of the failure of the Kirigakure Village was the command of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to raid the rear. This was actually a completely correct decision, but it was a crime of non-war that the strongest one among the real Konoha genin happened.

Now, it is normal for the Kirigakure troops struggling in the quagmire of guerrilla warfare to lose confidence.

"Hahaha, Aoba doesn't have to blame himself. No one could have predicted the situation inside Kirigakure Village." Jiraiya comforted him with a smile. He didn't care whether the public opinion in Kirigakure Village had anything to do with Aoba, but

He saw hope of quickly defeating Wuying Village.

Of course, Hizu and Fugaku would not have any dissatisfaction with Aoba. On the contrary, the recent war made them deeply aware of Aoba's abilities.

In particular, Aoba's method of using Hayakura's victory to incite internal conflicts in Sand Hidden Village made the two of them even more horrified.

Regarding Aoba’s statement that the inside of Kirigakure Village has nothing to do with him.

The two of them didn't dare to think too much.

He said a few words in agreement obediently.

Seeing the attitudes of the three people, Aoye felt helpless. It really wasn't me!

After a while of official social rhetoric, the four people began to discuss business and formulate tactics for the final battle with Kirigakure Village.

Aoba is not worried at all that the battle with Kirigakure will fail, not to mention Konoha's geographical advantage and its advantage in martial arts restraint.

Just talk about what strength an army without cohesion and about to lose confidence can exert.

What Aoba is worried about is the chain reaction that will occur after defeating Kirikage.

.....

At this time, in the border camp of Earth Kingdom, the third generation Tsuchikage Onoki was alone in the camp thinking about the follow-up strategy.

After Onoki received the information that public opinion exploded in Kirigakure Village and that the commander was preparing to launch a frontal attack, he was shocked to realize that he had no time to wait any longer.

Before Konoha eliminated Kirigakure Village, if Iwagakure Village had not taken action, then Iwagakure Village would have been a bystander to the whole battle.

But Ohnoki had to take action, otherwise it would be detrimental to his reputation in the country.

"Why is this Kirikage so good?" Onoki said this sentence countless times.

Onoki is very sure that Kirigakure Village will be defeated, but how much loss Kirigakure Village's desperate fight will bring to Konoha is Onoki's concern.

After Konoha quickly eliminated Kirigakure Village, and its own losses were not large, the Earth Kingdom had no possibility of attacking Konoha.

Konoha has made arrangements for the borders of the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Water, and the Kingdom of Thunder, resulting in Konoha maintaining a good situation on three battlefields.

Onoki would not think that Konoha would not have arrangements at the border of Earth Country. At this time, a small group of troops invading Konoha would be equivalent to sending food.

Onoki did not consider a large-scale invasion of Konoha at all. The Third Raikage was still watching eagerly and preparing to steal the family, so Onoki really did not dare to move.

It's not like Onoki has not considered joining forces with the Third Raikage to attack Konoha with all their strength. In this way, no matter how many methods Konoha has, it will not be able to escape the end of destroying the village.

However, there is no trust between the countries in the ninja world, and any so-called agreement and cooperation is a piece of waste paper.

If the Earth Country really attacks Konoha with all its strength, the Third Raikage will definitely tear up the agreement and attack Iwagakure Village. Similarly, if Kumogakure Village devotes all its troops to the battlefield of Konoha, Ōnoki will also immediately withdraw to attack Kumogakure Village.

.

Therefore, even if Iwagakure Village forms an alliance with Kumogakure Village, the two countries still will not and cannot send out all their troops. After eliminating Kirigakure Village, Konoha can maintain the situation on the three battlefields at the same time.

Then this war will be meaningless.

Soldiers can fight simply for their beliefs, but as the leader of a country, the Third Tsuchikage must consider the interests of the country.

"It seems that the only purpose is to consume the strength of Konoha and Raiyin Village to the greatest extent." Ohnoki made a decision in his heart, then got up and prepared to go outside the camp to breathe fresh air.

"Ouch!" Ohnoki was really old. The moment he stood up, he accidentally twisted his waist again.

While hammering his waist, Onoki felt a little desolate in his heart. The younger generations in other countries have grown up, but none of the young people in Iwagakure Village can hold a big position.

Ohnoki didn't even have anyone who could discuss the strategy for the war.

"Iwagakure Village still needs time for young people to grow up!" Onoki sighed in his heart.
