Chapter 25 Reactions of Sunagakure and Kirigakure

Beyond everyone's expectations, and within the expectations of some, the Second Ninja War broke out.

The smoke that filled the entire ninja world had actually manifested itself last year. What people didn't expect was that Konoha was the first to launch this war.

It was not until the third day that the Kage of both countries received news of the battle involving Konoha's raid on Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure Village.

The slogan of Konoha's external propaganda is to accept the mission issued by the River Country and the Tea Country to eliminate the armed ninjas roaming in the territory.

Good guy, not only will I kill you, I will also make you take the blame.

Most of the countries that knew the inside story were dismissive, and a small number of people who didn't know the reason were still praising Konoha for having the style of a great ninja village.

Everything is just an excuse to send troops.

"boom"

"Damn Konoha, I will not let you go. Call all the jounin. I will send troops. We will take revenge."

In the office of the third Kazekage of Sand Hidden Village, the third Kazekage was hammering the desk in front of him with an angry expression and said angrily, grains of iron sand were already floating in the air.

However, regarding all this, the elders Chiyo and Ebizo on the side showed no intention of getting up or making any move.

Although both of them were filled with endless anger, their reason told them that now was not the time.

The loss of 3,000 Sunagakure Puppet Division troops has indeed worsened the situation for Sunagakure Village, which was already at the bottom of the five major countries.

Sunagakure Village only had a little over 9,000 standing ninjas. This time, they lost one-third of the total number. It can be said that it was a serious injury.

If the four major ninja villages had a tacit understanding to send out troops to attack Konoha, now they have to think about how to prevent backstabbing.

As long as there are benefits to speak of, allies can also become targets.

"Kazekage-sama, please calm down. With the current situation, we can no longer afford further losses." Ebizo worriedly comforted the Third Kazekage.

"Hey, wrong step, wrong step. I didn't expect that guy the Third Hokage to have the courage to take the lead in provoking a ninja war. He is worthy of being a ninja hero." Chiyo also echoed the words of his younger brother Ebizo.

"Can't we just let it go?" As the Third Kazekage who had just taken over the position of Kazekage from the Second Kazekage, Samana, he was very ambitious.

Unexpectedly, before he realized his ambition, or even started to implement it, reality gave him a big blow.

"Our current strength is only enough to defend against Iwagakure's sneak attack. If we want to attack Konoha again, we will be powerless." Ebizo said helplessly.

"The Ninja World War is inevitable. Fortunately this time, Kirigakure was also raided by Konoha like us. They are now unable to fight against Konoha's doctrine, so we don't need to be too defensive against each other." Chiyo helped the third generation.

Feng Ying analyzed the current situation.

"Moreover, we and Kirigakure were attacked by Konoha at the same time. Iwagakure and Kumogakure should not be able to sit still. Now we just sit back and watch them bite each other." Chiyo said with a twinkle in his eye.

At the same time, there was one thing she didn't say, that is, Sunagakure's new generation of ninjas was about to be trained, and Sunagakure and the others were not eliminated early from this ninja battle!

The third generation of Kazekage didn't know the suggestions of the two consultant elders, but his heart was still full of unwillingness.

"I'll let Konoha go this time, but Sunagakure will bear this grudge." He crushed the ball of sand in his hand with his palm, and the Third Kazekage spoke with hatred.

Ebizo and Chiyo looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They were afraid that the young Third Kazekage wouldn't be able to stand the excitement and would send troops regardless.

For the siblings, the interests of the country have long been higher than their own ideas. No matter how angry they are, they will not make fun of the entire village.

On Kirigakure's side, in the office building of the Third Mizukage.

The Third Mizukage, who often squinted his eyes, now opened his eyes. After reading the information passed by his subordinates, he threw it angrily on the table.

"Go and ask for the Master." The Third Mizukage gave the order without expression.

"yes."

In less than 10 minutes, Kirigakure's Genshi walked into the Third Mizukage's office.

As the elder of Kirigakure Village, Genshi has the same rights and status as Mizukage. Mizukage will usually ask for his opinion on important matters in the village.

The Yuanshi in front of him is almost 60 years old. He can be said to be an old fossil of the same era as the first Mizukage.

Although Yuanshi has the status and rights of Mizukage, he never asks about Mizukage's affairs. He will only give his own suggestions when Mizukage brings it up.

This is also the reason why the past Mizukage respect each other so much. He has prestige and qualifications, but he never takes the power of the village leader. Which leader wouldn't like this?

To say that the system of Kirigakure Village is also strange, it gives the village Genshi all the rights and status equivalent to that of the Mizukage. This is basically equivalent to two Mizukage ruling the village, but there is no split.

This is inconceivable to all other countries. It is common sense that a country has only one supreme leader.

There can only be one voice at critical times, otherwise it may lead to civil strife in the country.

Come to think of it, this is probably the reason why Yuanshi never fights. The more he behaves like this, the more the water shadows of the past generations respect him, which creates a virtuous cycle.

The more he fights, the more intense the conflict between Mizukage and him may be. Letting go sometimes brings rewards.

I just don’t know if after the death of this Yuan Master, if the second generation Yuan Master comes to power, there will still be as high an emotional intelligence as the first generation Yuan Master.

"Lord Mizukage." The master came in and greeted the third Mizukage first.

"Master Yuanshi, you're welcome. Please sit down. These are the information about the Kingdom of Tea that just came from below. Take a look."

Mizukage picked up the information that he had just dumped on the desk and asked the ninja waiting at the side to hand it to the master.

After quickly reading the information, Master Yuan sighed.

"This is not good news. All 2,500 Kirigakure ninjas who are proficient in assassination have been wiped out. This is our Kirigakure's biggest loss since the outbreak of World War I."

After putting down the information, even Master Yuan, who had always been indifferent to emotions and anger, now had a fluctuating expression.

"Our troops have all been wiped out before we launched the attack on Konoha. In this way, the alliance between our four major powers was broken before it was even established."

The third Mizukage's tone was full of seriousness.

Originally, after so many years of "Blood Mist" policy, although the strength of Kirigakure's ninjas at the middle and lower levels was generally a level higher than that of the other four major ninja villages, the population was truly a weakness of the Kingdom of Water.

If the ninjas of the other four major ninja villages need to train a ninja out of 5 ordinary people, then it takes 10 ordinary people to train a ninja who is far above the same level.

Therefore, the Third Mizukage originally wanted to expand the territory. As long as there was more land, the population would not be able to increase.

Of course, except for the windy and sandy environment of the Kingdom of Wind, no matter how much land there is, it will not be able to increase its population.

Konoha occupies the most fertile land in the entire ninja world, which is where the Mizukage covets.

If that place casually occupies one or two towns, it will be fat for the Kingdom of Water.

There was nothing we could do about it. Who allowed the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha to defeat the entire ninja world at that time?

Not to mention the first generation Mizukage, even if all the previous Mizukage and the previous Kages from the other three major countries come together, they are still giving food to these two!

This is already a break in strength, and the gap in numbers cannot make up for the huge gap between the two sides.

"Mizukage-sama, since what happened has happened, it can't be undone. We can no longer provoke a war with Konoha. We can't afford the loss." Genshi gave his thoughts on this ninja battle.

view.

"However, we in the Kirigakure mainland don't have to worry too much. With our geographical location of the Land of Water surrounded by the sea, it is impossible for other ninja villages to have their ideas on our heads. We can just wait and see what happens."

Because of his age, Master Yuan had to take a breath before continuing his analysis.

"Hey, that's what I thought too, but it seems that the intensity of the 'Blood Mist' is not enough. So many Kirigakure elites were completely wiped out, and not even a single person who came back to deliver the news was left. We discovered it on our own initiative.

"The Third Mizukage said very dissatisfied.

Hearing that the Third Mizukage had the idea of ​​increasing the "Blood Mist" policy, Master Yuan couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, opened his mouth, and finally swallowed the words that came to his lips.

"Blood Mist" is related to national policy. He doesn't want to go against Mizukage. If it really breaks out and leads to the final division of the country, he will be one of the biggest culprits.

Therefore, he could only express his acquiescence in this matter by keeping silent.

The "Blood Mist" policy has actually caused everyone in Kirigakure to complain for a long time. Many ninjas even went to the Genshi, hoping that he could come forward to stop the Third Mizukage.

However, Master Yuan has not taken any action due to his own concerns.

There is no denying the benefits brought by the "Blood Mist" policy, but compared with the price paid, this benefit is actually negligible.

Master Yuan actually didn't understand why the Third Mizukage was so crazy that he actually proposed such a policy.

The second generation Mizukage, Kito Gengetsu, only proposed a secret method to keep Kirigakure Village, while the third generation Mizukage directly launched the cruel "blood mist".

In the current Kirigakure, as long as you don't discuss the policy against the "Blood Mist" with the Third Mizukage, he will still be able to explain it easily.

Once anyone raises objections, at least they will be scolded directly, and at worst they will be punished.

"In addition, the 'Seven Ninja Swordsmen' must quickly find suitable candidates to find the real masters of the seven Ninja Swordsmen. The current 'Seven Ninja Swordsmen' can only be regarded as users of the Ninja Swords, but cannot be regarded as theirs."

Master, our strength is still too weak, I want to train a 'Seven Ninja Swordsman' that can hunt Kages." The Third Mizukage said ambitiously.

Looking at the confident Third Mizukage in front of him, Master Yuan couldn't say much else. He said hello to Mizukage and left.

After leaving the Mizukage Building, Master Yuan looked back at the Kirigakure Village Administrative Center with the big word "水" written on it, and silently made a decision in his heart.

"It seems that we need to select a qualified Fourth Mizukage as soon as possible, otherwise Kirigakure Village will be ruined by the Third Mizukage sooner or later."

This idea has slowly grown in Master Yuan's mind.

In fact, the people who got the news from the front line the fastest were not Sunagakure and Kirigakure, but Konoha's side.

Sunagakure and Kirigakure were basically attacked at the same time. Kirigakure was only an hour behind Sunagakure and was defeated by Konoha and destroyed.

Hatake Sakumo and Orochimaru both confirmed to each other that both sides had conquered the target, and then reported the two good news to the Third Hokage at the same time.

The Hokage Building was filled with joy at this moment. Whether it was the Third Hokage or the advisory board of elders, it was too important to achieve the strategic goal of this war.

This directly changed Konoha's opponents from the four major countries at the beginning to the two major countries now. Sunagakure and Kirigakure are no longer afraid.

Next, it depends on whether Iwagakure and Kumogakure can bear it any longer, whether they want to take the initiative to attack, or wait for Konoha to launch an attack.
