Shadow Stream of Leaf

After the start of this ninja war, although the confrontation between Kirigakure and Konoha can be called "twist and twists and turns", in fact, the overall situation is relatively simple and can be summed up, that is, Kirigakure is the first to attack Konoha. They made a sudden attack and killed 70 to 80 Konoha ninjas in one fell swoop. From the results, the first confrontation with Kirigakure was only a small victory, but the important thing is that they successfully disrupted Konoha's preliminary arrangement for the war and its prior planning for the entire war. default position.

Taking advantage of the window period created by such a sudden attack, Kirigakure took the initiative in the war.

Then what? Has Hikari earned money?

After Kirigakure invaded the Fire Nation on a large scale, they first suffered exaggerated counterattacks, and then their house was even stolen... In fact, Kirigakure has been seriously injured, and they have never suffered such grievances since the village was established.

Moreover, good things do not go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. The news that Wuyin Village was invaded by Konoha and destroyed on a large scale quickly spread in the ninja world. Although it is not clear how it happened, other ninja villages are also short It was determined within a short period of time that Kirigakure had fallen into a period of weakness.

So what Wuyin is facing now is not the question of how many times he died, but the fact that his entire village has been banned.

Regarding the damage he encountered, Kirigakure of course chose to remain silent, so more news came from Konoha.

As a result, Sannin's reputation is not limited to Konoha Village, the entire ninja world has begun to pay attention to the new generation of ninjas like them... There is no doubt that this is also a kind of pressure.

By the time the Sannin passed through Konoha and returned to the quagmire-like battlefield on the Western Front, they had already become the top priority to kill the enemies from all three sides—this is probably the legendary "If you want to wear a hat, you must bear the burden" .

Hanyu began to shrink back obediently, as quietly as an old constipated squatting on the toilet. And after two months in a row, nothing happened, and the war did not break out again... When he could only choose restraint, Kirigakure still chose restraint. Although such a choice cannot be said to be smart, it at least shows that They haven't lost their minds.

The dog-jumping incident did not happen, which is a good thing for Hanyu. At the same time, the peace during this period also means that it is difficult for Konoha and Kirigakure to break out a large-scale war again.

Hanyu almost got his wish and ended the battle on the Eastern Front ahead of schedule.

…………

A Konoha Anbe ninja crossed the sea silently and came to the Land of Water, but he did not sneak in to assess the damage of Kirigakure... Such an assessment is unnecessary, because everything is in the It is clearly visible on the layout:

Kirigakure's shape changed from a pie to half a pie, as if being bitten by a vicious dog.

This Anbu ninja came here with a more important mission. Since the Nation of Fire had already officially declared war on the Nation of Water, at this time the two countries had apparently severed all ties.

However, this does not mean that the two parties really do not need to contact each other. If one ninja village wants to secretly pass some news to another ninja village, it can be done after all. However, many things still require positive communication to be reliable, especially after the raid occurred, some communication has become something that both Konoha and Kirigakure need very much.

It was based on this need that the Anbu ninja code-named "Partridge" came to the country of water, and he took on the role of delivering news for the third generation of Hokage to the third generation of Mizukage.

When he arrived at the appointed place, he found that there was already a group of Anbe ninjas from Kirigakure guarding here. It could be seen that although these ninjas were extremely vigilant, they had no obvious intention to attack.

After the handover between the two sides was careful, the partridge was secretly brought into Kirigakure, and then met Mizukage Mizukage in a rather secretive way.

Due to various indescribable reasons, Mizukage's expression looks very bad now.

Partridge didn't talk nonsense, he directly handed over the secret letter of the third Hokage to Mizukage.

Mizukage unfolded the letter paper with one hand... Attention, although this action is very chic and handsome, but Mizukage did not do it for the sake of being chic and handsome, because even if he wanted to open the letter with both hands slowly, he couldn't do it now.

After quickly browsing the contents of the letter, Sandai Mizukage then asked Konoha Anbe: "Does Sandai Hokage mean to let us surrender... On the premise of what you have done to Kirigakure, we surrender?"

His sullen voice immediately made the atmosphere in the room tense, and the Kirigakure Anbe ninjas who were in charge of protecting Mizukage seemed to be swarming up at the next moment... That's why Hanyu couldn't do this kind of communication work. , if Hanyu reappears in Kirigakure, then there is no need for any communication at all, and there are only two results that are clearly visible:

Either Hanyu rushed to the street on the spot, or the other half of Kirigakure would also be blown up.

In order not to leave political hidden dangers, the secret letter of the Three Hokages actually has no substantive content. There are only meaningless greetings and some cryptic hints on it-it is mainly used to express a sincerity and attitude of willingness to negotiate.

So the main negotiation work still depends on this Anbu ninja.

"It's not a surrender. Even now, Konoha and the Kingdom of Fire have not placed themselves above the Kingdom of Mist and Water..."

Although Konoha has now gained an absolute strategic advantage over Kirigakure.

"The official and accurate description is that the three generations of hokage hope that the two countries can sign a peace agreement. The name of victory or defeat is nothing but something of no real significance, and peace is what we should really want... and apart from peace, we have nothing Do not want."

Have some face, we have found a reasonable way for you to withdraw from the war.

They didn't even demand any compensation from you, the defeated party, or sign any unequal treaties.

"Now both of us are facing difficulties, and these difficulties are well known. The battle situation on the Konoha West Front is extremely complicated, and it cannot be resolved in a short while.

As for Kirigakure... After suffering such damage, I think that compared with strategic expansion, you should now strategically shrink. It is a sensible choice to rebuild the village as soon as possible and devote yourself to restoring your own strength.

I can understand Mizukage-sama’s anger, but it’s not Konoha’s responsibility for all of this. We can only say that we are both victims of the war... You have undeclared war against us, and we will take such targeted actions later revenge.

But it is precisely because the bleeding wounds are still clearly visible and never healed, so at this time we should not be blinded by hatred, and we should understand the value of peace. "

Only half of you have been bombed. If you insist on continuing to fight, we cannot guarantee what will happen to the remaining half of you.

And Kirigakure is so weak, you still insist on dealing with Konoha? You're not afraid of me playing wild... No, aren't you afraid that villages like Yunyin will suddenly invade the land of water?

Who wouldn't want to be the first to pick peaches?

He is eloquent, well-founded, and even sarcasm. What he says is very polite, but the hidden meaning is swearing. If Hanyu is here, this Konoha Anbe ninja will definitely subvert his understanding of "Anbe ninja".

Not all Anbu ninjas are taciturn. As for this "partridge", he is more than a talent. Judging from his performance just now, he is clearly a talent.

As the leader of a village, he is supposed to restrain his emotions, but now after hearing these words, Mizukage Mizukage's face turns blue and white.

In the end, he put on a wry smile.

Konoha, who is on the absolutely favorable side of the war, is now taking the initiative to contact Kirigakure to discuss peace matters. Asking Kirigakure to surrender, what else is there to say?

But on the other hand, if Konoha's "polite attitude" is rejected, how will they react next?

It is true that Konoha's war strategy is mainly based on the western front, but they did not stock up on the eastern front. On the contrary, under the insistence of some people, in order not to cause trouble, the eastern front adopted a radical strategy... The western front is very It is important, so we have to solve the problem on the Eastern Front first, and then we can concentrate on running the war on the Western Front.

It sounds a bit fallacious, but the problem is that Hanyu did it that way.

So now, does Kirigakure have any choice?

Sandai Mizukage looked at the half cake in his hand, what could he do?
