When the Iwa Ninja and Konoha formed an alliance, it was not like Kumo Ninja Village was doing nothing.

The moment he noticed Onoki's little move, Raikage determined that Kirabi's disappearance was caused by the Iwa Ninja Village.

Otherwise, why are you feeling guilty? !

There is no reason to explain to people who are obsessed with it.

Although the Raikage has a bad temper, he is not an idiot.

When it comes to one-on-one, the Cloud Ninja Village is not afraid of the Iwa Ninja at all. Even if there may be someone nearby who is trying to make a profit, the Raikage still dares to risk a fight with the Iwa Ninja.

But when Iwa Ninja has clearly formed an alliance with Konoha, and then bumps into it, that's not called upright, that's stupid.

After losing Kirabi, the strength of the Cloud Ninja Village was originally weaker than Konoha. Although it was still stronger than the Iwa Ninja, it was absolutely impossible to fight one against two.

Looking for a way to destroy the alliance between the two villages?

Military Advisor Todai had proposed this proposal, but it was rejected by Raikage.

From Raikage's point of view, instead of hoping to sow discord without knowing whether it will succeed, it is better to find an ally for the Kumo Ninja Village.

If you can't beat one against two, you can't beat two against two.

Even if the strength of this ally is weaker, it doesn't matter. As long as it can hold back one of Iwa Ninja and Konoha, even if it only delays it for a period of time, it is enough.

Of course, when actively seeking alliances, a certain price must be paid.

Raikage was also prepared for this.

As for the goal of the alliance, there is no need to consider the small ninja village under the five major ninja villages.

The Kingdom of Water is too far away, and the only place we can count on is the Kingdom of Wind.

It just so happens that, in terms of geographical environment, the Kingdom of Wind can launch an attack on the Kingdom of Earth or the Kingdom of Fire from "behind", greatly alleviating the pressure faced by the Cloud Ninjas.

Especially the former.

The territorial dispute between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth has been an old issue that has not been resolved for many years.

The natural environment of the Kingdom of Wind is harsh, and there is little land suitable for living, and a large piece of it was taken away by the Iwa Ninja Village.

If there is a chance to get back the livable land in the northern part of the Kingdom of Wind, the senior officials of Sand Ninja Village will definitely not show mercy.

The truth was just as Raikage thought.

Under the premise of exchanging a lot of benefits, Kazekage Luosha discussed with the two consultants and gave Yun Ninja Village a positive answer.

But it is different from the covenant between Iwa Ninja and Konoha.

In the covenant agreement between the Cloud Ninja Village and the Sand Ninja Village, the Sand Ninja Village only agreed to attack the Kingdom of Earth from the rear, allowing the Cloud Ninja to contain part of the Iwa Ninja Village's forces.

In fact, it is not difficult to see from this covenant that the main goal of Suna Ninja Village is to take back the small piece of territory on the border between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth, close to Tori Nori.

Although this land is not large, in the country of winds with extreme climate, it is an extremely rare place with abundant rain and can support a large population.

If it could be exchanged, most people in the Kingdom of Wind would be willing to trade dozens of times the area of ​​desert in the south for this small piece of green space.

Since it was the Cloud Ninja Village that urgently needed to form an alliance, the Raikage could only try to suppress his violent temper and agree to the Suna Ninja's requests as much as possible without affecting the bottom line.

We can give in to other trivial interests if we can.

It doesn't matter if the Sand Ninjas don't contribute much, as long as they can indeed send troops to contain the Iwa Ninja Village's troops, this alliance will be worth it to the Kumo Ninja Village.

For this alliance, Cloud Ninja Village needs to provide a large amount of chakra conductive metal to Sand Ninja Village in three installments in the next few months.

This is a specialty of the Kingdom of Thunder. The annual output of the entire ninja world is very low, and it is all controlled by the Cloud Ninja Village.

Except for the Cloud Ninja Village, the other Ninja Villages are rarely available.

However, in order to deal with the immediate threat, Raikage had to agree to provide this extremely important strategic material to Suna Ninja Village.

The quantity is not large, and the combined quantity of the three times is probably enough to make dozens of kunai.

If a large-scale ninja tool is made, it will only be enough for one piece at most, and it cannot be a type that uses a lot of materials like a decapitation sword.

In addition, the agreement also included a trade agreement. Sand Ninja Village will use "gold" as currency to purchase a large amount of living and war supplies from Yun Ninja Village.

The environment of the Kingdom of Wind is harsh, but there is a large amount of gold buried under the desert.

This gold is mixed with sand, making it very difficult to extract.

Kazekage Rasa's placer gold magnetic escape ninjutsu is just right to dig out a large amount of gold from the desert.

If it were in the main world, Luo Sha would become the richest man in the world with just this one hand.

But, this is the world of Naruto.

Although gold is still a high-value material, due to various reasons, its circulation value is not as high as imagined.

One of the main reasons is that various countries have tacitly agreed to restrict the circulation of gold. Bulk supplies are not allowed to be settled in gold, in order to restrict the development of Sand Ninja Village.

Due to the harsh environment, the ninjas of Sand Ninja Village are actually the toughest among the five ninja villages.

If it were not for resource constraints, Sand Ninja Village would have risen long ago, and it would be like now, almost at the tail end of the five major Ninja Villages.

In fact, given the environment that Sand Ninja Village is in, it is very rare to be able to maintain its status as one of the top five Ninja Villages and not fall behind.

Not only was the environment difficult and surrounded by foreigners, but within the Country of Wind, the relationship between the Daimyos of the Country of Wind and the Suna Ninja Village was also very tense, and the funds provided to the Suna Ninja Village were even cut off for a time.

Suna Ninja Village is seriously short of funds. It is very difficult to maintain the status quo, let alone any development.

Although the sand gold magnetic escape ninjutsu can obtain a large amount of gold, due to the tacit restrictions of other major powers, only a small part of this gold can be exchanged for the supplies needed by the sand ninja village.

Having no "money" and not being able to buy what they need is the biggest dilemma facing Suna Ninja Village.

In this agreement, Luo Sha specifically requested that Yun Ninja Village must meet some of the material needs of Suna Ninja Village through trade.

The settlement currency is of course gold.

For Yun Ninja Village, this is not an unacceptable problem.

After the Sand Ninja Village has access to a large amount of supplies, whether it will rise soon in the future is also a matter of the future.

But what Yun Ninja Village got is now.

What's more, it's not like Suna Ninja Village doesn't pay. The value of gold in the ninja world is not low, it's just that the circulation is low.

In fact, in order to suppress the economy of Sand Ninja Village, several major countries, including Yun Ninja Village, are relatively short of gold.

Even if it is only used as an important industrial material, it can bring considerable benefits to Yun Ninja Village.

This transaction, at least in the short term, does not pose a problem for Yun Ninja Village, and it can even make a small profit.

On the day when Kazekage Rasa signed the agreement with Kumo Ninja Village, he took two advisors, left behind his entourage, traveled in a simple car, and returned via the Rain Country route, avoiding the Iwa Ninja and Konoha spies as much as possible along the way. .

Rasa will not underestimate the intelligence capabilities of Iwa Ninja and Konoha.

The alliance between the Kumo ninja and the Suna ninja will be noticed by the Iwa ninja and Konoha within three days at most.

If I leave at that time, I might not be able to leave.

Don't forget, the sand ninja is the weakest among the four major ninja villages in the country of Yu.

A Kazekage, plus the two advisors Chiyo and Ebizo, can walk sideways in most places in the ninja world without worrying about any danger.

But it definitely does not include the current Tang Country.

If three people died in the Country of Yu, the leaderless Sand Ninja Village would definitely collapse immediately.

This is a risk Luo Sha is absolutely unwilling to take.

As for the dozen jounin and chuunin who came with them, they could only be blamed for their bad luck.

Sand Ninja Village is not as "wealthy" as other Great Ninja Villages, and high-end combat power cannot be lost easily. Many times, the weak must be sacrificed to give the strong a chance to survive.

This is for the future of the village!

The harsh environment of the Kingdom of Wind has allowed Sand Ninja Village to form a unique set of values.

The day after Rasa left, Konoha was the first to get the news.

Through the spies in Kumo Ninja Village, the news of the alliance between Suna Ninja and Kumo Ninja was confirmed.

But when Minato Namikaze rushed to the Sand Ninja camp with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya and Fugaku Uchiha, the place was already deserted.

After covering the departure of the Kazekage and the two advisors, the remaining Suna ninja only stayed for one night, pretending that the Kazekage was still there.

At dawn the next day, they each disguised themselves as civilians, businessmen, wandering samurai, or even ninjas from other ninja villages, and tried to find a way out of danger.

However, among the dozen or so ninjas, perhaps not even one-tenth could return to the Kingdom of Wind safely.

The intelligence systems of Konoha and Iwa Ninja Village were operating efficiently, and eight Suna Ninja who tried to cross the border were intercepted and killed that day.

Since the end of the Third Ninja World War, the war affecting the entire Ninja World has never been so close.

The changing situation surprised Fang Zhou, who had been watching.

Originally, Fang Zhou planned to take action at the right time.

But now it seems that there is no need to do this. The war between the four major ninja villages is already on the verge of breaking out.

Ninjas are very capable of action. After completing the alliance and discovering the other party's intentions, the four major ninja villages began to mobilize their own war forces.

Personnel is only one aspect, and the preparation of various war materials is the top priority.

The transportation team of Iwa Ninja Village transported a large amount of military supplies to Konoha through the Kannabi Bridge.

Ironically, in the Third Ninja War, it was in this same place that it was Minato Namikaze who cut off the supply route of the Iwa Ninja Village, forcing the latter to surrender.

But this time, this important supply line that was originally used to raid Konoha has become a "dedicated channel" for transporting large quantities of supplies to Konoha.

After a large amount of supplies were in place, Namikaze Minato returned to Konoha and immediately ordered that, except for large commissions to maintain the normal operation of the village, Konoha would temporarily stop accepting mission commissions from outside and enter a state of full war.

Countless ninjas were recruited from various places and organized into an organized army, heading north towards the Country of Yu.

The leader of the team is Akimichi Tōfeng, a strong man from the older generation who has been calling for retirement these years.

After "escorting" the first batch of troops to the front line, the command of these troops will be taken over by Jiraiya.

Of course, Konoha will not relax its defenses against the south.

Not only to ensure that there would be no weakness in the top combat power, but also to avoid political suspicion, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen took the initiative to ask Ying to lead his team south to build a defense line at the border of the Kingdom of Wind.

Compared with the large army going north, the number of ninjas going south was much smaller, with a total of only 300 people, of which there were only twenty jounin.

The purpose of this line of defense is just to ensure that they will not be attacked by the Kingdom of Wind without knowing it.

The "reserve team" left behind in Konoha will decide, based on the situation, whether to send more troops to the battlefield of Yu Country or to turn around and attack the Country of Wind.

Although an agreement has been signed with the Iwa Ninja Village to jointly attack the Kingdom of Thunder, the situation of the war is ever-changing. Whether to follow the agreement or not will naturally put interests first.

For this war, Konoha mobilized more than [-] ninjas in just a few days. This does not include the number of new genin and "preparatory genin" who are several times that number and can be put on the battlefield at any time. .

According to the history of the past three ninja wars, when the war reaches a certain stage, let alone genin, even the children in ninja schools who are still in school must be prepared to go to the battlefield at any time.

Of course, at the beginning of the war, there is no need to go to such an extreme level.

After the Third Ninja World War, although not too long has passed, people in the ninja world are generally "precocious", and a few years can already be regarded as a generation.

With the addition of new forces over the years, except for the Kirigakure Village, which has been constantly consumed in the blood mist all year round, the several major ninja villages are actually at their "peak period".

Konoha mobilized more than two thousand ninjas, of which the proportion of jounin was as high as one-tenth.

Iwa Ninja was even more desperate. Just the first batch of troops that set off from the Kingdom of Earth and marched along the coast to the Kingdom of Thunder exceeded [-].

Although 90.00% of them are genin above five, and even according to Konoha's high standards, most of them can't even meet genin standards, but this number alone is already scary.

In order to transport these troops, Iwa Ninja Village recruited all the large and small ships in the Kingdom of Earth, and also temporarily built a batch of simple wooden boats, which were enough.

According to the established plan, the Iwa Ninja will raid the rear of the Kingdom of Thunder from the sea, while Konoha will attack the Kumo Ninja from the Yuno Defense Line, double-teaming on both sides, trying to make the Kumo Ninja focus on one thing and lose the other.

The Kumo ninja and Suna ninja were not idle either.

The former had already mobilized a large number of troops, two-thirds of which were deployed on the Yuno Country border defense line.

Kumo Ninja did not expect that Iwa Ninja Village would choose to launch an attack from land and sea.

After all, there is an Iron Kingdom in the middle. If you want to bypass the Iron Kingdom, the route will enter the North Pole. The extreme weather alone is enough to cause huge troubles to the march.

But if you don’t expect something unexpected, you still need to take necessary precautions.

In addition, in order to avoid the obstacles of the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Fire and complete trade with the Suna Ninja Village, it is also necessary to detour by sea and land.

While the Kingdom of Clouds is mobilizing its troops, it is also vigorously preparing for navigation.

What no one expected was that the cargo ship that Yun Ninja Village was preparing to "deliver express delivery" to Sand Ninja by sea actually ran into the large army of Iwa Ninja Village.

Several ninjas who were lucky enough to escape brought the news back to the Cloud Ninja Village. The latter was promoted and mobilized the troops originally serving as reserve troops to go north to block the Iwa Ninja attack, which also meant that the Fourth Ninja World War had officially begun.
