chapter 108
At the same time that Kuzan brought the Tsunade and Hyuga clan back to Kirigakure.
Furious and desperate, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Konoha Village finally decided to fight to the death and start the final decisive battle against Kirigakure!
This is the last and most helpless choice Sarutobi Hiruzen made under pressure.
His previous foreign policy has been weak and incompetent.
Mainly because under his leadership, Konoha Village is indeed getting weaker and weaker.
From the original strongest ninja village in the absolute sense, until now, it has even been surpassed by Cloud Shinobi Village, and it has been faintly surpassed by Kirigakure.
Even Iwagakure can hold its own against Konoha Village.
The only weak one left is Sunagakure, the younger brother.
Originally Sarutobi Hiruzen might have been so weak, maintaining a false peace through.
But now, Kuzan's encroachment on Konoha Village step by step made him gradually feel an unprecedented crisis.
If this continues, it will not be a question of whether to start a war or not.
But Konoha Village immediately lost the courage and qualifications to go to war!
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen is cowardly, corrupt, and has a strong desire for power, he is not a fool.
Naturally, we can see and understand the current situation.
Because, being forced to a desperate situation now, fighting hard is the best and last choice.
In Hokage's office.
The atmosphere was tense for a while.
Although everyone agrees with Sarutobi Hiruzen's statement, everyone is full of anxiety when they really want to start a war with Kirigakure.
Utatane Koharu sighed: "Once this battle breaks out, regardless of whether it wins or loses, Konoha Village will inevitably suffer heavy losses."
"Hiruzen, have you really thought it through?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said coldly: "If there is no war, Konoha Village will only be forced into a more desperate situation by Kuzan and Kirigakure!"
"What's more, we may not necessarily lose the war. As long as we win, what Kuzan and what Kirigakure will be solved once and Konoha Village will once again return to the glory days of the peak!!!"
Jiraiya frowned and said, "Sensei is right though."
"However, if there is a war, how the other major ninja villages will act is also a question that must be considered."
"Konoha Village and Sunagakure are allies, and Sunagakure hates Kirigakure even more. They will definitely stand with us, there is no doubt about it."
"But you know, Kirigakure and Iwagakure are also allies. Once war is declared, will Tsuchikage Onogi join the battlefield and fight with Mizukage against our Konoha Village?"
"Also, Cloud Shinobi Village has always been a militant faction, the ninja village that advocates the expansion of force the most. Once a war breaks out between us, they are likely to take advantage of it."
"Not to mention, there is also the Akatsuki organization lurking in the dark of the ninja world, just about to move. Over the years, Mizukage's Akatsuki alliance has been silent for a long time, but once war breaks out, they will inevitably wreak havoc again."
Orochimaru said with a smile: "Indeed, with Akatsuki's means, war is exactly what they want to see most."
"In this way, not only will the Akatsuki alliance between the five major powers be self-defeating, but it will also give them the best chance to achieve their goals."
"Manipulating war, expanding power, and catching tailed beasts are all going on at the same time."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said coldly: "Let's not talk about the Akatsuki organization. That's not a threat that we, Konoha Village, have to face alone."
"As for Iwagakure, heh, you don't know that old fox Onoki at all."
"Do you think he is allied with Kirigakure and he will be fighting side by side with Kuzan against us ?!"
"Using his method, he will only provide the support of the Allied Forces in name, but in fact he will just stand still and watch the tigers fight, waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman!"
Everyone was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Based on what they know about Onoki, he is indeed very likely to do so.
"As for Cloud Shinobi Village, indeed, they will certainly take advantage of it."
"However, it is unknown whether Konoha Village will be robbed or Kirigakure will be robbed."
"What's more, although Fourth Raikage is a reckless man, Cloud Shinobi Village is not without smart people. If Onoki sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight cloud village 4th raikage A will maintain the same attitude."
"Otherwise, it will become a praying mantis chasing cicadas and orioles, and in the end it will only be cheaper for Iwagakure."
"Cloud Village and Iwagakure have the deepest hatred, and Third Raikage died at the hands of Iwagakure, so they will naturally not see Iwagakure benefiting."
After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen is Hokage, and I have to say that his vision at the moment is very clear.
"Once we declare war on Mist Shinobi, the final battle will inevitably be, nominally us and Sunagakure, the allies of Sound Village, against the allies of Kirigakure and Iwagakure."
"But actually, it's one of our three ninja villages fighting against Kirigakure!"
"Both Iwagakure and Cloud Shinobi Village will only maintain a wait-and-see attitude."
Everyone nodded.
Utatane Koharu said: "As expected of Hiruzen, the analysis is indeed very reasonable."
"However, even if our three major ninja villages join forces to face Kirigakure, which is booming now, we may not be able to say that we have a 100% chance of winning.
"How to fight still needs to be considered in the long run."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said coldly: "Of course."
"The fiasco ( Failure ) of Sunagakure is still vivid in my memory, I will never underestimate Kirigakure and Kuzan."
Jiraiya said: "Yes, Sunagakure's disastrous defeat back then, their own strength is of course one thing, but on the other hand, they chose to fight Kirigakure at sea, which itself was a huge strategic decision-making mistake."
Orochimaru also smiled and said, "Not bad."
"Kirigakure's ships, navigation, and water combat capabilities are the strongest among the five major countries.
"What's more, Kirigakure ninjas are mostly good at Water Style ninjutsu, and they are powerful enough to play Ultimate in the sea."
"Coupled with Mizukage Kuzan's powerful ice release ability..."
"I'm afraid there is no force at sea that can compete with Kirigakure."
Utatane Koharu frowned: "However, Kirigakure knows this better than anyone else. They will never take the initiative to give up their greatest geographical advantage."
"How can we lead them to land for a decisive battle?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "There are only two ways."
"One is to find ways to lure them to land, and the other is to take advantage of Kirigakure's unpreparedness and directly cross the sea to fight in Kirigakure's native land!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's idea is really good.
To avoid naval battles, of course, just avoid the halfway links.
"It's hard to lure them over, but it's not necessarily impossible to sneak into Kirigakure and launch a surprise attack."
"Also, those two things can also be combined into one."
"Once we successfully infiltrate Kirigakure and cause heavy casualties and losses to them, Kuzan and Kirigakure will definitely take the initiative to attack, and then naturally we can fight with him on land."
Shimura Danzō said: "Indeed, but how to sneak into Kirigakure?"
"If the target is a little bigger, it will definitely be discovered."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "So we can only infiltrate with a small force."
"The key to this is Orochimaru, haven't you and Danzo been working on Reanimation Jutsu these days?"
"Also, how is the army of Impure World Reincarnation created?!"
Orochimaru chuckled.
"The accuracy of Impure World Reincarnation is not so easy to improve."
"However, there has been a lot of progress in terms of quantity."
"In addition to the biggest killers, the two ancestors Hokage, First Hokage Senju Hashirama, and Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, Danzo and I also found the biological information of many dead strong men."
"This includes many masters of the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan. Anyway, they have rebelled against Konoha Village, and even the cemetery where their ancestors are buried has been abandoned. It is easy to find biological information there."
Jiraiya couldn't help frowning.
"You dug the graves of the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan?!"
Orochimaru glanced at him: "Jiraiya, are you going to preach naively again?"
Jiraiya was silent.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also glanced at him: "Jiraiya, I know you think this is a bit crazy, but this is a time of war, and it is also true that Konoha Village lacks high-end combat power .This is a last resort."
"If Master Second Hokage is around, he will do the same."
Jiraiya sighed: "I understand, but doing so will inevitably make the entire ninja world look down on Konoha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said coldly: "Live first, and then talk about the bottom line!"
Orochimaru continued: "This includes Uchiha Tajima ( madara father ), Uchiha Izuna ( madara brother), Uchiha Kagami(Shisui father ), Uchiha Shisui and other powerful members of the Uchiha clan."
"Uchiha Shisui's body was not found, but Danzo has one of his Mangekyō Sharingan, and it was easy for me to extract part of the biological information in it."
"In the Hyuga clan, there are also strong men who died in the past, and Hyuga Hizashi, the younger brother of Hyuga Hiashi."
"Besides, there is also Senju Butsuma( hasirama and tobirama father ) , the leader of the Senju clan in the Sengoku era, Konoha's White Fang Hatake Sakumo, Might Dai known as eternal Genin, but killed four Might Dai of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen."
" Mitokado Homura, who died during the Uchiha clan's rebellion, Kato Dan ( tsunade boyfriend ) who was good at spiritualization Technique, Akamichi Torifu who was a Second Hokage disciple with Sarutobi teacher, Kurenai Yūhi father, Shinku Yuhi, etc..."
"Of course, there are more unknown ninjas."
"There are two to three hundred people in total, and there are thirty or forty people who can be called high-end combat power!"
"This is enough power to sweep the entire ninja world!!!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen finally smiled.
"Very well done, Orochimaru!!!"
"Since this is the case, there is the best way to sneak in quietly and catch the whole Kirigakure by surprise!"
"Orochimaru, as long as you infiltrate Kirigakure alone, and then activate Impure World Reincarnation, you can suddenly descend on Kirigakure with the entire Impure World Reincarnation ninja army!"
"In this way, if caught off guard, Kirigakure Village will inevitably suffer heavy losses!!!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzō, Utatane Koharu, Orochimaru couldn't help but sneer triumphantly.
Jiraiya was getting more and more frightened the more she listened.
The army of Impure World Reincarnation not only includes the corpses of the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan whose graves were dug.
Even including Hatake Kakashi's father Hatake Sakumo, Might Guy's father Might Dai, Yuhi Kurenai's father Shinku Yuhi, Torifu Akamichi who is also a disciple of Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, Mitokado Homura, Uchiha Kagami and so on!
To get these biological information, there is no doubt that Orochimaru and Shimura Danzō even alarmed the corpse of Hatake Kakashi, Might Guy's dead father.
What would people like Hatake Kakashi and Might Guy think if they knew about this?!
That's all for Orochimaru, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others have completely lost their minds?!
For a moment, Jiraiya couldn't help feeling an unprecedented fear.
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Jiraiya, as if reading his mind.
"Jiraiya, this is a time of war, and many things are done as a last resort."
"Put away that naive idea of yours too!"
" Orochimaru and his army of Impure World Reincarnation, It will be the strongest weapon for us to fight against Kirigakure!!!"
"Of course, he can't do everything by himself."
"You infiltrate Kirigakure with Orochimaru, who controls the Impure World Reincarnation army, and you are the giant toads Summoning Mount Myōboku to deal with Kuzan and his Ryuchi Cave Snakes!!!"
"This is an order!"
Jiraiya sighed, and could only nod: "Okay."
Sarutobi Hiruzen finally showed a heartfelt smile.
"Very well done!"
"In this way, Kirigakure will be hit hard internally and will inevitably suffer heavy losses."
"Then, under the rage, Mizukage Kuzan will inevitably launch a counterattack. At that time, we will wait for work on the mainland. Kirigakure, who must be killed, will be defeated. Let's take revenge."
"Yeah."
Shimura Danzō, Utatane Koharu, and Orchimaru all showed the same sinister smile.
Jiraiya just sighed.
*****
Just as Konoha Village and Sarutobi Hiruzen are preparing for battle.
Kuzan who returned to Kirigakure, together with Tsunade, Terumi Mei, Shizune, and the entire Hyuga clan, received a warm welcome from the entire village.
Tsunade is famous in ninja world, one of the legendary Sannin.
She is also the god of ninjas, the granddaughter of First Hokage Senju Hashirama.
At the same time, his strength is even more astonishing, and he is also known as the number one medical ninja in the ninja world.
The addition of such a powerful ninja will inevitably make Kirigakure's strength skyrocket again.
And the Hyuga clan is also a well-known for Byakugan . that is also well-known throughout the world!
Inherited for thousands of years, it has Byakugan kekkegenkai that claim to have a longer history than Sharingan!
The strength of the entire family is absolutely top-notch in the Shinobi Ninja world.
Such a family has also joined Kirigakure, making the entire Kirigakure Village even bigger than ever before!
Be it Tsunade, Shizune, Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Neji, Hyūga Hinata, Hyuga Hanabi and other members of the Hyuga clan, they all looked around curiously at the current Kirigakure.
Everyone was shocked!
Because, the current Kirigakure is not at all the closed, corrupt, bloody, furious, and cruel Blood Mist Village in the legend.
It is a Ninja Village with a vast territory, a large population, a developed economy, and prosperity!
Even, it is even better than Konoha Village in its peak period!
The current Kirigakure is the strongest in the whole ninja world!!!!
