Konoha's New Third Hokage

After the two battles in the Kingdom of Kawa and the Kingdom of Rain, the Sunagakure Ninja Village immediately reorganized its defense posture to prevent the Konoha Ninja Village from counterattacking. They believed that it was impossible for the Konoha Ninja Village to swallow this breath, and they If the operation fails to achieve the intended goal, it is likely to encounter retaliation.

But in fact, the expected revenge did not come. Instead, the Konoha Ninja Village took defensive measures as before. This left Chiyo and other first-line ninjas confused. It is incredible that they can even swallow this anger. .

Chiyo thought that this matter was not that simple, but she did not act rashly. The uncharacteristic actions of Konoha Ninja Village really calmed down the Sunagakure ninjas and allowed the intelligence ninjas to collect more reasons behind this abnormality.

A week later, the intelligence personnel of the Sunagakure Ninja Village finally found some clues from the airtight front. It seemed that Uchiha Kagami, the commander of the Konoha Ninja Western Front, was betrayed by his subordinates. Although he saved a life, he lost his life. One arm was seriously injured, and the Konoha Ninja Village launched an internal purge campaign, arresting and executing all possible suspects.

"Who is the leader of the betrayers?" In the camp, Chiyo asked the Sunagakure ninja who was responsible for the report.

"The name seems to be Uchiha Setsuna." The other party replied.

"Uchiha Setsuna? I remember that this person performed very well in the Kingdom of Kawa and the Kingdom of Grass. He was a very powerful ninja." Chiyo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is this the person who assassinated the head of his family? "

"There is nothing surprising about this. The Uchiha family had this tradition in the past." A person with a deep family heritage in Sunagakure Ninja Village said. He knew a thing or two about the past history, "People from this family He only values ​​what is in front of him, and sometimes he ignores other aspects. After Uchiha Madara had a falling out with the first Hokage of Konoha Ninja Village, he left as soon as he said it, and he didn't care what would happen to the family who stayed in the village."

Uchiha Madara's actions back then would definitely make the Uchiha family's life very difficult. If Hashirama and Tobirama hadn't stabilized the situation in time, I don't know what the Uchiha family's situation would have been like at that time.

"Haha, that's really lucky. There are people like this on the enemy side." Chiyo couldn't help laughing, "Let me hear who else has been dealt with."

Immediately afterwards, the Sunagakure ninjas in front of them reported the information they had collected one after another. From the team adjustments under the Konoha ninja force and the tentative contacts over the past few days, it was determined that most of the people being dealt with were Uchiha. There are also some non-Uchiha ninjas in the family, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are either in some important departments or have strong combat capabilities.

When he heard the name Uchiha Ken, Chiyokoro, who was already qualified to take the seat, immediately said: "I know this person. He is also a very powerful Uchiha tribesman. He has fully developed the Sharingan at a young age. In such a state, I didn’t expect that even he--"

It was actually a bit rude for Ryu to speak out at this time, but after all, he is Chiyo's son and he himself has strength, so no one said anything. Chiyo patted the table and said, "Great! It looks like we are going Although this battle did not achieve the expected results, it also caused instability within the enemy. If these powerful ninjas are dealt with, the strength of the Konoha ninja troops will definitely fluctuate. This is our opportunity!"

Chiyo seemed very excited. The Sunagakure Ninja Village has always been on the suppressed side in the war, and discordant voices began to appear in the country, but she has been persisting. In addition to her reasons for going on, she also There is a firm belief that the Konoha Ninja Village, which is fighting on three sides, will have problems sooner or later.

Now she finally waited. Under the pressure of the war, the internal conflicts in the Konoha Ninja Village broke out at this moment. The Uchiha family assassinated their own head. Although the Uchiha Mirror was not solved, it made the Konoha Ninjas The troops have been cleaning up from top to bottom, which is undoubtedly good news to the Sunagakure Ninja Village.

Everyone's expressions softened a bit. To be honest, after the last battle, they all planned to give up. The Konoha Ninja Village was as watertight as a rock. Even the carefully planned attacks were withstood. The Sunagakure Ninja Village was victorious. Hope is very slim.

And now that the war is going on, the conflict between the Kingdom of Wind and the Sunagakure Ninja Village is gradually coming to a head. If there is no more light, even if the Sunagakure Ninja can persist, the capital may not be able to persist. And with this For this matter, the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind should be able to continue to support it for a while.

And in the future, if Sunagakure Ninja Village can achieve a good record, then there is hope for this war. If you can persist in fighting, you may get benefits in the future.

Of course, the Sunagakure Ninja Village is not arrogant enough to think that it can do it on its own. It mainly relies on the neighboring Earth Kingdom. Now Sunagakure Ninja Village imports many of its food and other combat materials from the Earth Kingdom. The Kingdom of Wind cannot hold on for long on its own, and it still needs to leave emergency rations.

Originally, because of the unfavorable battle, the Sunagakure Ninja Village was given trouble by the other party. It was doubtful whether the Sunagakure Ninja Village had the strength. The messenger also revealed a little threat in his words, saying that if the Sunagakure Ninja Village was really not strong enough, Then don't blame Iwagakure Ninja Village for reverting to the policy of the Ninja World War.

Everyone understands the meaning of this sentence. What role did Iwagakure Ninja Village play in the First Ninja War?Those are the allies of the Konoha Ninja Village. In other words, if the Sunagakure Ninja Village can no longer produce any valuable results, the Iwagakure Ninja Village will join the Justice League again and turn to punish them as the invader.

At that time, the two countries of Fire and Earth will jointly suppress the border. What else will the Kingdom of Wind fight? If we surrender early, we may be able to recover some losses. If we go on hard, it may be a battle to destroy the country!

Chiyozai carefully looked at the list collected by the intelligence ninja, and made a calculation in his mind. The purge within the Konoha Ninja Village seemed very serious. This would definitely affect the grassroots command, and even the middle level might be affected. These days of testing The sexual blow also seemed to prove that Konoha Ninja Village had problems with defense, allowing Sunagakure Ninja Village to gain a lot of territory.

"Perhaps we can try to take the initiative to attack. If the opportunity is too late, it will not come again. If we wait for them to recover and return to the past situation, we will die slowly." Chiyo finally made up his mind and said to everyone. .

Everyone was silent for a while, and no one raised any objections. Some people felt that it seemed inappropriate to take the initiative to attack. After all, the Sunagakure Ninja Village really did not get any benefits from taking the initiative to attack in the past. The only one that had any results was the previous one. battle, but it relied on the merits of spies.

The problem is that the spy who provided the information is not from the Sunagakure Ninja Village. From now on, it seems that it is probably Uchiha Setsuna and other so-called rebel village groups who are secretly contacting the enemy country. According to the information collected by the intelligence ninja and everyone's memories , and realized that in the past wars, there did seem to be some Uchiha family figures.

After undergoing internal purges, it was obvious that the Sunagakure Ninja Village would no longer be able to obtain that level of intelligence. Anyone who dared to come forward would have been killed. They had no doubt about this, because it was the Sunagakure Ninja Village. , this will definitely be done, and although Konoha Ninja Village may seem very kind to outsiders, it is impossible to be merciful in this matter. The execution list proves everything.

However, Chiyo felt that although it was a pity to lose Uchiha Setsuna and others, their death also left an opportunity for the Sunagakure Ninja Village, because the internal purge had shaken the grassroots of the Konoha Ninja Army. In other words, It is to allow the spies of Sunagakure Ninja Village to infiltrate.

"If nothing else happens, we are likely to get a lot of information about Konoha ninjas. Although we cannot reach the location of Uchiha Setsuna and others, the information we get will be more real." Chiyo said this with a somewhat angry tone. "Although Uchiha Setsuna is a traitor, he is not one of our own in the final analysis. The last information he gave did not include the Konoha ninja's surprise attack force led by Uchiha Kagami. We lost many people in vain and lost Opportunity to solve the Uchiha mirror!"

Everyone nodded. They were mentally prepared for the losses to the people ambush in the valley. However, they never expected that it would be Uchiha Kagami who led the team. Not only did all the ninjas sent there die, but also the Iwagakure ninjas. The village seriously doubts their intelligence gathering capabilities. After all, the Iwagakure Ninja Village also participated in that battle.

"The intelligence collected by our own people is the most credible. Although Uchiha Setsuna has his own little thoughts, he is also an enemy. That time was obviously the result of his betting on both ends. He wanted to solve the Uchiha Mirror and also let I stayed in the Konoha Ninja Village, but in the end, I lost my life. Uchiha Kage, the confidant of both of us, is still alive and well!" Chiyo said angrily, she really hated Uchiha Setsuna. .

Earlier, Chiyo was very grateful to the person who secretly sent information to her, but now she doesn't feel this way at all. She only feels that Uchiha Setsuna is really a fool. At this point, the Konoha Ninja Village and the Sunagakure Ninja Village All agreed.

"What Chiyo-sama said is that we may not have this chance again. Last time it was because the enemy disclosed intelligence, and this time it is quite a follow-up to the last battle. It is also a flaw revealed by the enemy himself. If it is not easy to exploit, , we really have no hope." someone said.

Therefore, the senior officials of the Sunagakure Ninja decided to give Konoha Ninja Village a head-on blow in the next battle. Because the retreat of both sides during this period allowed the Sunagakure Ninja Village to regroup its strength, and it was completely possible to do it again. Taking risks, and as their discussions deepened, they felt more and more likely to succeed.

The Sunagakure ninjas believe that they are very united - although it was promoted under high pressure, but this is indeed the result - but the Konoha Ninja Village has experienced major internal chaos due to the purge movement, and the differences between them have Assistance in disengagement, as long as you use it well, you can further expand your advantages.

In the last battle, wasn't it because of the efforts of the Sunagakure Ninja Village that created an opportunity for Uchiha Setsuna that the internal purge of Konoha Ninja Village just happened?In other words, the adventure in Sunagakure Ninja Village is worthwhile and entirely possible.

The more people talked, the more excited they became, and they felt more and more possible. Of course there would be risks in war. It was already a very risky thing for them to go out to fight this war. What else was there to be afraid of?The enemy's interior was in chaos due to the purge. Even if Commander Uchiha Kage recovered from his injuries, his combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced after losing an arm. Moreover, he might not have recovered from his injuries, so such a good opportunity would never come again.

The strength of the Sunagakure Ninja Village is not as good as that of the Konoha Ninja Village. If some risky measures are not taken, there will be no possibility of victory.Since the internal cleansing of Konoha Ninja Village was possible last time, it might be the same this time, no, it is very possible.

Under the pressure from the outside world, the Sunagakure ninjas were eager to open up a new situation. As soon as they saw a feasible place, they immediately got into it, and they had very optimistic ideas. If I use one word to form it: above The consequences of a battle caused the Sunagakure Ninja Village to begin to swell.

The Sunagakure Ninja Village quickly formulated a combat plan. The first step was to test the opponent's current cooperation capabilities. The previous tentative attack was too stable. They decided to conduct an assault with an elite squad for testing. Once it was confirmed that the enemy's assistance was indeed When there is a disconnect, it is time for the large forces to catch up. At the same time, the intelligence ninjas must also pay attention to sending spies and collecting intelligence to provide assistance for the troops to obtain first-hand information and correct their direction.

When discussing the area to be responsible for, Liu volunteered to take charge of the place. Chiyo understood that that was where Sakumo Hatake of Konoha Ninja Village was. In the last battle, Liu's wife, her daughter-in-law, died. ——Although Chizuru was wrapped into the body by the slug, in order to make the Sunagakure ninja make a mistake in judgment, the slug very thoughtfully squeezed out some blood to show the feeling of being crushed.

Although Ryu thought Chizuru had hope of survival at first, he no longer had that confidence. It is true that Konoha Ninja Village has a tradition of treating prisoners preferentially, but they did not give the other party a chance to take prisoners. When they were in the Country of Grass , Konoha Ninja Village's retaliatory activities also made them think that Konoha Ninja Village may no longer pursue prisoners - although many Sunagakure ninjas were indeed captured that time, but through deceptive methods, they failed. know this news.

Because of this, Ryu has new hatred and old hatred for Hatake Sakumo, and he must kill him with his own hands before he can sacrifice his dead wife.They were a loving couple and had a lovely son, but Hatake Sakumo made him lose his wife and the child lost his mother. This fire of hatred will never go out!

For Chiyo, Chizuru was also a virtuous daughter-in-law. Her death was also a pity for Chiyo. Chiyo also knew her son's temperament very well and knew that she could not stop him at this time. However, Ryu could not beat Hatake Saku. Shigeru is also a fact, so Chiyo plans to increase his strength there to protect his son.

Just as the Sunagakure Ninja Village started to take action with great enthusiasm, the Konoha Ninja Village was also waiting quietly. When Uchiha Kagami learned about the movement patterns of the Sunagakure Ninjas, he discussed it with the senior ninjas and concluded that Came to a conclusion:

The Sunagakure ninja village took the bait.
