Guard members who stay in Konoha

Chapter 108 one hundred and five
After the failure to assassinate the Daimyo of the Takino Country, the situation took a turn for the worse. The Daimyo of the Takino Country who was almost killed was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of suspicious elements in the country. Among them, the ninjas from the Iwagakure Ninja Village participated in the investigation and assisted in the investigation.

After several tosses and turns, the daimyo clan who secretly communicated with the country of fire were investigated. Although there was no evidence that the assassin was the Konoha ninja, under the bewitching of the ninja Iwagakure, the daimyo of the country of Taki directly identified it as Konoha What the ninja did—although it was true in fact—executed his clansmen for collaborating with the enemy, and publicly stated that they would form an alliance with the Land of Earth to jointly fight against the invasion of the Land of Fire.

The Daming Mansion originally thought that the matter would be accomplished smoothly, but they did not expect such a result. The Fire Nation Daimyo was furious, and reprimanded Konoha Ninja Village for not doing things well, and asked them to be responsible for it.

Konoha's high-level executives were overwhelmed by this, and Shimura Danzo was even more anxious, because the investigation in Takino's country also exposed the root spies he planted. Kill yourself and make sure that the intelligence will not be leaked to other countries.

Things got out of hand, and Kage Onogi, the leader of the ninja village in Iwagakure, used this to reach the covenant of the Land of Earth, the Land of Grass, and the Land of Taki, and began to gather troops, which meant declaring war.

Onoki is the oldest leader of Ninja Village today. He has a tenacious will like a rock and is as cunning as a fox.He has always been good at moving slowly in the dark, planning for the future. As early as the Second Ninja World War, he often took measures to win over and infiltrate small countries, and it is still the same today.

The old and cunning Onoki didn't need any evidence to believe that the assassination must have been done by Konoha Ninja Village. Even if it wasn't, he would definitely spread the word about it.The answer is simple, because the country of fire is powerful and rich in land, and has always been a thorn in the eyes of other big countries. If there is a chance to attack them, Onoki will never let it go.

Under Ohnoki's operations, the Northwest layout of the Fire Nation is so severe that it is very dangerous. The pressure from the Land of Earth, the accusations from the Daimyo Prefecture, and the imminent ninja situation make Konoha's executives almost go crazy, Shimura Danzo and the others became even more resentful towards Hatake Sakumo.

If it wasn't because Hatake Sakumo gave up his mission at a critical moment to help others, how could the situation be so serious?All the original division strategies were useless, and the intelligence personnel arranged there were hit hard. Even if they didn't die, they had to go dormant and it was difficult to play a role.

Under Shimura Danzo's strict request, the high-level officials formally notified the incident to the village's top ninjas. The top ninjas were shocked when they heard the news. They were not ignorant of the external situation. What they didn't know was that Who exactly did this assassination incident, and now I know that it was indeed someone from his own village, and it was actually that Konoha Baiya.

When it was learned that Hatake Sakumo was just one step away from the successful assassination, he gave up the mission because he was going to save his companions. As a result, the vast majority of people expressed disapproval—mission first is the basic principle of ninjas. In principle, Hatake Sakumo didn't even understand this, what was he thinking?

The ninjas complained very much about Sakumo Hatake, thinking that his actions had increased the burden on the village.There are also many people who think that although their subordinates are in crisis, this is the order accepted by the other party. Even if they are really in a mortal situation, they should try their best to delay the enemy and create opportunities for others to complete the task. At that time, they should not go Taking into account the safety of his companions, but focusing on the mission goals in front of him.

Although people like Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato have different views, they feel that although the task is important, they should not ignore their companions.However, in the face of the serious consequences caused by Hatake Sakumo, they have no way to intercede with such a reason, and can only keep silent.

But no matter how much you complain, the result has already been created. Konoha Ninja Village can only choose to face the difficulties in this situation. As a member of the Fire Kingdom, they must ensure that the Fire Kingdom will not be invaded by other countries, otherwise it will endanger the land of fire. Not only the country of fire, but also Konoha Ninja Village itself.

Of course, the actions of the Land of Earth affect more than one country. Except for the Land of Water, which is isolated overseas and generally does not intervene in the mainland, Lei and Feng both have considerable vigilance. They don’t think that Yanyin Ninja Village will only To deal with the Nation of Fire, not against yourself.

In the previous two ninja wars, although the country of fire was regarded as the main enemy, because of the contradictions between each country, there were often frictions between each other, and sometimes they would not deal with the country of fire because of grievances , and turned to deal with other countries.

This is why the Nation of Fire can often survive in the face of the Four Kingdoms. If the four major nations work together to deal with the Nation of Fire, no matter how powerful the Nation of Fire is, it will be dragged to death. It is so strong that it can defeat four countries.

Taking a step back, even if it is achieved, a series of pressures such as financial economy, regional destruction, and personnel loss will drag the country to the point of collapse.

This is not a problem that can be solved simply by being strong.Therefore, even in the period of the first generation of Hokage, with the powerful strength of him and Uchiha Madara, the country can only be controlled at the size of the current Fire Country. No matter how strong it is, it cannot be stabilized, because the problems are the country's grassroots control power, finances, and so on.

But it is precisely because of the conflicts among other countries that Konoha's high-level leaders have the space to unite vertically and horizontally, allowing the enemy to take into account other countries, or to divert conflicts and give up targeting the Nation of Fire.Of course, because the Nation of Fire is too powerful, no matter what, the early concentration of fire or the attack at the middle and late stages will cause considerable losses to the Nation of Fire.

Since the two ninja wars, the five major countries have maintained a balance of power, and no one can overwhelm the other, which is actually because of this.Even in peacetime, the strength of each country has widened the gap due to the development level of each country, but after a ninja war, it will basically return to the original balance of power.

The current leaders of Ninja Village are all wise lords, and they can still find solutions to the immediate difficulties to avoid causing too serious losses to Ninja Village.

However, some people seem to think otherwise.At this moment in Shayin Ninja Village, a young man named Xie heard the news that the whole village was preparing for war, and a strange look appeared on his expressionless face.

"War? It really won't stop at any time." Scorpion thought silently, his eyes fell on the things prepared in front of him. When he heard that the situation in the ninja world was getting tense, he gradually came up with this idea: "Three generations of Kazekage, I don't know what will happen to the sand hidden ninja village after you are gone?"

Scorpion's parents died at the hands of Bai Fang of Konoha Ninja Village in the second Ninja World War. In Scorpion's heart, besides the culprit, Hatake Sakumo, there is another person who needs to be questioned, that is, what happened during the war. The third Kazekage who made a wrong decision, he is also responsible for the death of Scorpion's parents.

Now that Hatake Sakumo can't be found, Scorpio is going to be the first to attack the person he can find, and his move this time will completely set off a storm in this ninja world, indirectly affecting the future decades later. future.
