Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch Uchiha Zongxian

Two days later,

The country of grass.

The contemporary leader of Kusakure Village was filled with uneasiness and followed the Konoha ninja who led the way. However, no matter how cautious he was, when he saw the Konoha ninjas and decades-old Konoha ninjas mixed together in the camp. When he saw the mist ninjas whom he had never seen before, he felt even more depressed.

Why start a war again after everything is going well?

The 65-year-old leader of Kusagakure Village, 'Pampasus', is full of worries. He was born at the end of the Warring States Period and witnessed the end of the Warring States Period and the birth of the five major nations. It can be said that he expected to be the first Hokage's ideal. However, with the passing of the first generation Hokage, the peaceful world he built was also buried in the grave.

Three great ninja wars completely destroyed Pampas grass's illusions about peace.

He just hopes that the next war won't come too soon.

It's just that his wish has not been realized. Or rather, on the contrary, it has only been more than six years since the end of the Third Ninja War. Seeing that a new war is about to break out, the Country of Grass is caught between the two major countries. Whether you like it or not, you are bound to be involved.

The Grass Ninjas did not have the luxury of choice. They did not have the ability to declare neutrality like the Taki Ninja and the Iron Country samurai, so they could only continue to be Konoha's vassals and join this war.

"Jiraiya-sama, someone from Kusagakure Village is here."

"Already here? Let him in."

The short pampas grass passed the guard at the door, walked into the tent, and saw Jiraiya sitting in the upper hand position, "Jiraiya-sama, we meet again!"

"Pampas grass, you are in good spirits too!"

Jiraiya replied with a smile.

The two of them were not strangers. Jiraiya had interacted with Pampas grass during the second and third Ninja War. Of course, this friendship was only to the extent of greetings when they met. In fact, there was nothing deeper. In terms of friendship, even with the low-pitched combat power of the grass ninja, he was not qualified to have any kind of comradeship with the ninjas of Konoha.

"I'm old! I'm old! I'm no longer what I used to be. My legs hurt when I walk a long distance now."

The short pampas grass sighed and sat on the empty seat at the bottom under Jiraiya's fingers.

After sitting down, the old man was slightly distracted and looked at the two people sitting on the left and right of Jiraiya. One was a ninja from the Nara clan that he had never seen before. The short pampas grass said that he was old, but he used his spicy With his sharp eyesight, he could see the family crest on Suzaku Nara's clothes at a glance.

As for the other person,

He has white hair and purple eyes. He looks young and in his early twenties. He wears a Mist Ninja forehead protector on his head. When he smiles, he can see the sharp teeth like sharks.

"Since you are low on energy, choose an heir as soon as possible so that if you accidentally leave one day, you will leave a lot of trouble to future generations."

"I think so too! But the young people in the village are so unsatisfactory. None of them are decent. Every generation is worse than the last generation. The selection standards for Jonin in the village are lowered again and again. If they don't work hard to practice well, they will not be able to live up to their expectations. Make some crooked ways..."

The short pampas grass sighed again and again, belittling the juniors in his village to the point of calling them a bunch of trash!

Jiraiya listened to the old man's chatter and smiled but did not agree.

"Cough cough."

Nara Suzaku, who was sitting on Jiraiya's right hand seat, cleared his throat and interrupted the non-stop chattering of Pampas grass without politeness, "Boss Pampas grass, let's stop gossiping! I didn't come to you to hear your complaints. Yes, how are you doing with the preparations you arranged earlier?"

It's customary to ask Kusanagi to help!

The battlefield between Iwa Ninja and Konoha was either in the Country of Grass or in the Country of Rain, but the Rain Ninja had very hard bones and did not buy Konoha's fault or listen to Iwa Ninja's words. The Sand Ninja's envoy was also kicked out, regardless of How bad the Rain Country was under Hanzo's rule. In short, after the Second Ninja War, during the Third Ninja War, both Iwa Ninja and Sand Ninja tacitly avoided the Rain Country.

right now,

The Land of Grass is the battlefield between Konoha and Iwa Ninja.

For this reason, before the army commanded by Jiraiya arrived, envoys had already gone to Kirigakure Village in advance, met the dwarf pampas grass, and then conveyed the order from Konoha, asking them to assist the border guards to keep an eye on the border to prevent the Iwa ninja. Raid, and at the same time prepare food and supplies to supply the army.

"We have collected as much supplies as possible, but I don't know how much you need..."

"Just do your best to raise supplies. Stop asking about things that shouldn't worry you. Are you still afraid that we in Konoha will eat and drink for free?"

Nara Suzaku's attitude could be called arrogant, and he did not give any face to Pampas grass because of his age.

"Besides the supplies, where are your people? The Border Guards said they didn't see even a single grass ninja. I want to know where your manpower is?"

"this······"

Genuine embarrassment and shame appeared on Pampas grass's wrinkled old face, "Jiraiya-sama, it's not that we don't want to contribute, it's just six years since the last war ended, and the village still hasn't slowed down. After all, almost all the old people who could fight died in the last great ninja war. Today's young people are of no use at all. Even if they are sent to the front line, they will only be a hindrance, so I thought of letting them in Work hard at the rear and make more contributions.”

Jiraiya remained silent.

"Snapped!"

Suzaku Nara slammed the table and shouted in a stern voice: "Stop talking nonsense to me, Pampas grass. Don't think that Jiraiya-sama is kind-hearted and just giving me nonsense here. Isn't the grass ninja faction useful?" You have the final say on how to use manpower, this is not something you need to do for you."

"Suzaku, don't be so angry and speak politely. Everyone makes mistakes at work."

"I'm rude, Jiraiya-sama."

Jiraiya nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Pampas grass, and said kindly: "Pampas grass, Suzaku is young and vigorous, don't be the same as him, just send him over as soon as possible after you go back, anyway, now and The Iwa Ninjas have not officially started the war, and there has been no irreparable damage caused by your mistakes, so...send the people over as soon as possible, and you can forget about your previous mistakes."

Sitting on Jiraiya's left side, Kiden Mangetsu looked at the simple but timeless piece of music in front of him with great interest.

Jiraiya and Nara Suzaku's extremely straightforward red and white face trick, even this young man, Kiden Mangetsu, could see it. How could an old guy like Pampas grass not see it? What if he could just see it?When he realized that the kind-hearted Jiraiya in his past memories would not be touched by his misfortune, he understood that his hopes were completely shattered.

After all, it was impossible for the grass ninja to stay out of the situation.

"I understand, I will send available manpower as soon as possible when I get back later." The short pampas grass leaned down and agreed to Konoha's overbearing order with that old and hoarse voice.

The dwarf pampas grass left,

Dragging steps as heavy as when he came in, he walked out of the tent.

"Man Yuejun, I made you laugh."

Jiraiya turned his head and spoke to Kiden Mangetsu.

"It's okay! This kind of thing... is very interesting! I have only seen similar plots in some novels before, but unfortunately there are no small vassal countries around our Water Kingdom." Ghost Lantern Full Moon was quite regretful. 's sigh.

The reason why small countries such as the Country of Grass, the Country of Tang, the Country of Rain, and the Country of Sichuan can exist is because they play the role of buffer zones between big countries. The Country of Water, which is located on the far sea, is far away from the mainland. The vast sea is a natural isolation zone and does not need small countries as buffers, so the Kingdom of Water has no small countries around it.

There used to be a country of whirlpool, which was the nail that the second-generation Hokage nailed on the sea to defend against the mist ninjas. Unfortunately, Hiruzen Sarutobi failed to defend the country of whirlpool, and the nail was pulled out by the mist ninja.

If the Kingdom of Whirlpool is still there,

The Third Ninja World War will never happen. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen lurked around Konoha Village, and were defeated by the blockbuster Matt Dai. Konoha did not need to guard against the long coastline, as long as they defended the country of Uzumaki. The largest island off the coast, the Mist Ninja would never bring the flames of war to the Land of Fire.

"Looks like the grass ninja is a little naughty?"

Gui Deng Man Yue asked curiously.

"They're just a bunch of losers." Nara Suzaku said bluntly, not hiding his dislike for grass ninjas in his words, "These idiots can't see how much they weigh, nor can they see where they stand. I only know how to show off those little tricks that can’t be put on the stage, and I don’t want to think about who the Iwa ninja would kill first if we, Konoha, didn’t take action?”

The Iwa ninja went south;

The Grass Ninja must either go to Konoha or the Iwa Ninja. There is no third option. As I said before, neutrality is not something everyone can play. If the Grass Ninja dares to choose neutrality, there is no need for Konoha to take action. In order to smooth out the offensive fire, the Iwa Ninja The country's route will bring grass to bear.

And taking refuge in Iwa Ninja means becoming an enemy of Konoha... Pampas grass does not have the courage.

Since the death of the first generation Hokage, Konoha has won three ninja wars. No matter what the price paid for victory, Konoha won in the end, so no matter how weak Konoha looks now, the pampas grass will always be He didn't have the confidence to go to Iwa Ninja.

If the Iwa-nin loses, won't the Grass-nin have to face liquidation from Konoha?

As for whether Konoha will lose, to be honest, the old man Pampas grass is more confident than many Konoha ninjas that Konoha will never lose. It is hard to say whether Konoha can win, but there is a high probability that Konoha will not lose. As a The old man who had witnessed the horror of the first generation Hokage and Uchiha Madara firmly believed that Konoha would not lose with the Uchiha clan.

The reason for using this little trick is to make the grass ninja sacrifice less.

"It is human nature to be wise and protect yourself."

Jiraiya said softly, "Suzaku, don't be too harsh on them! Anyway, we didn't expect them to be of any use from the beginning!"

"Jiraiya-sama, it's not that I'm merciless, but the grass ninjas are a bunch of idiots who care about eating rather than fighting. In the past, the Sandaime-sama's methods were too gentle, but they made them forget what propriety means... "..." He didn't finish his words, because Nara Suzaku finished speaking quickly before he remembered that he was also a disciple of the Third Generation.

Fortunately, Jiraiya had no intention of arguing with him, and just sighed, "Oh! War! It's really unpleasant!"

at this time,

Someone rushed into the tent and reported: "Jiraiya-sama, Hatake Kakashi wishes to see you."
