Chat group from Naruto

In just over half a month, the situation in the ninja world was turbulent and unpredictable.

First, the Iwa Ninja and the Sand Ninja joined forces to attack Konoha without any contact.

And Konoha's counterattack came quickly, and both sides...

No, it was the forces of the three parties that were constantly entangled in more than a dozen small countries, large and small, with the Country of Fire as the center.

In addition to firmly adhering to a certain bottom line because of Konoha's "lessons from the past" and not expanding the scope of the war to the civilian class, the methods used by both sides against the enemy can be described as "everything possible".

Assassination, ambush, and even poisoning are just the most basic operations.

In terms of the intensity of the war, no matter how restrained it is, it will inevitably cause serious damage and impact on the small "third party" countries.

Especially the Kingdom of Rain, which is the main battlefield between the three countries, once again experienced the tragic fate of World War II and World War III.

But such days did not last long.

Among these small countries, the response of the small ninja village was slower than that of the big ninja village, but not too much slower.

Of course, this only refers to those small countries that have ninja villages themselves.

Some "micro-countries" that don't even have ninja villages, such as the River Country, have much slower response times.

However, these small countries that do not even have ninja villages are not qualified to participate in a war of this scale.

With Taki Ninja Village clearly stating its neutrality, even the three major Ninja Villages were unwilling to provoke a village with perfect terrain and jinchūriki, which allowed the country of Taki to maintain a rare peace.

It was almost the same as the previous two ninja wars.

——Except for the first ninja war, Taki Ninja Village has never participated in the disputes in the ninja world and has always remained neutral.

It seems that the disastrous defeat in the First World War completely demoralized this village that once aspired to be ranked alongside the five great ninja villages.

In addition, the terrain of Taki Ninja Village is special. If you don't master a specific method, you can't even find the location of Taki Ninja Village. The three major ninja villages have no interest in asking for trouble and provoking an opponent who is obviously not weak.

Therefore, Taki Ninja Village successfully got what it wanted: peace free from war.

But other small countries are not so lucky.

After being devastated by the war, they united together almost immediately to resist the invasion of the Great Ninja Village.

After the alliance of small countries was formed and they firmly stated that they did not want to be affected by the war, the three major ninja villages restrained themselves for a short period of time.

However, the tragedy of the weak is that if they do not have enough power, they are not qualified to be neutral.

Even if a dozen small ninja villages unite, the troops they can mobilize can only barely cause a little trouble to the three major ninja villages.

Considering that their "defense zone" has a long enough border and their troops are dispersed, it is also debatable how big this trouble will be.

The conditions proposed by the three major ninja villages are similar. As long as the alliance of the small ninja village joins their side, the main battlefield will be changed to other places.

The only difference is that if you join the Rock Ninja and Sand Ninja Alliance, the two major ninja villages will push the battlefield as far as possible into the Land of Fire.

On the contrary, if they join Konoha's side, Konoha promises to send the battlefield to the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Wind "as much as possible".

Of course, the three words "as much as possible" mean a huge operating space.

Any political veteran will understand that such ambiguous promises are actually equivalent to no promises at all.

They hope that the strength of the alliance will make the three major ninja villages fearful and thus have the qualification to be neutral.

However, as the saying goes, there is no room for the weak to be weak.

The total number of more than a dozen small ninja villages can only manage to piece together less than [-] ninjas. Most of them are genin and chunin. There are not even a few jounin, let alone those who can A shadow-level powerhouse who single-handedly affects the outcome of the battle.

If such a force is concentrated, it can make the Great Ninja Village take a look at it.

Even if there are no top experts and the overall quality is low, the number of more than 2000 ninjas can still affect the situation of a single battlefield to a certain extent.

However, considering the long borders between these dozen small countries and the three major countries, it is impossible for this force to unite, but must be dispersed.

In this way, the substantive role played by Xiao Ninja Village's alliance is not that big.

After being forced to choose to side with the coalition forces of Iwa Ninja and Sand Ninja, which seemed to be more beneficial to them, Konoha, which had finally restrained itself for a few days, launched an offensive against Xiao Ninja Village without hesitation.

Just the first wave of attacks destroyed the Rain Ninja Village, Star Ninja Village, Tang Ninja Village, etc., a total of six Ninja Villages.

It even includes the Rain Ninja Village, which once affected the balance of the war between the three major nations during the Third Ninja War!

Although the latter lost Sansho Hanzo, the legendary leader of the ninja world, his reputation is still spread in the small ninja village.

The destruction of Yu Ninja Village was an almost devastating blow to the Little Ninja Village Alliance.

Not only in terms of strength, but also a serious blow to the confidence of Xiao Ninja Village in fighting against the "evil forces".

Just after the news spread, Snow Ninja Village and Takumi Ninja Village immediately announced their withdrawal from the alliance and declared neutrality.

However, the Iwa Ninja and Suna Ninja, who had finally won the support of the Xiao Ninja Village, were not willing to see the Xiao Ninja Village Alliance fall apart like this, and directly sent troops to kill the Yuki Ninja and Takumi Ninja who "escaped before the battle".

The remaining small ninja villages could not hold on for long. In less than half a month, they were wiped out by the three major ninja villages amid repeated leaps from the three camps: the Iwa/Sand Ninja Alliance, Neutrality, and Konoha.

Of course there are survivors, but after the basic base of these small ninja villages is destroyed, the remaining manpower has no influence at all.

If the guerrilla tactics of the remnants of the Kumo ninja in the Kingdom of Thunder can still cause a lot of trouble to the rule of Konoha, these "remnants" of the small ninja village will not be able to interfere in the war situation in any way.

Even a sneak attack and guerrilla attack would basically not be able to cause substantial damage to the three major ninja villages.

If it were not for the fact that these small countries located in the cracks between the big powers were needed as strategic buffer zones, or simply as battlefields, I am afraid that these small countries would be annexed by the three big powers in a short period of time.

In fact, in today's ninja world, apart from the four major ninja villages of Konoha, Iwa Ninja, Sand Ninja and Mist Ninja, there are only two villages left.

One is the Taki Ninja Village, which is located in a mysterious place where outsiders can't even find its gate, and the other is the Oto Ninja Village located in Tian Country.

The latter is the village founded by Orochimaru.

For unknown reasons, at the beginning of the Ninja World War, Orochimaru changed his attitude in the original work and disclosed the connection between Oto Ninja Village and himself in the chat group.

He also publicly declared his neutrality and would not participate in the Ninja World War, and also warned the three major Ninja Villages that no matter who took action against the Oto Ninja Village, Orochimaru would immediately join their enemy.

Although the strength of the Sound Ninja Village itself is not worth mentioning, the name Orochimaru still has a certain deterrent effect.

In particular, the fact that Orochimaru has mastered Ryūchidō Sage Mode is no longer a secret in the chat group. Regarding Orochimaru's current strength, these top powerhouses in the chat group are still quite afraid.

It is not necessary to say how afraid Orochimaru is, but no one wants to push a top powerhouse to be their enemy.

As a result, Tian Zhiguo luckily escaped being reduced to a battlefield.

Equally lucky are the country of Taki, which has the Ninja Village of Taki, and the Iron Country, which declared permanent neutrality as early as the establishment of the Ninja Village era and was recognized by all major powers as a "permanent neutral country".

The latter's status in the ninja world is somewhat similar to Sweden in the main world.

It never participated in any wars and remained neutral forever. It did not even have a standing army - that is, a ninja village - but only a certain number of police forces - that is, samurai.

In addition, due to the harsh environment and poor output of the Iron Country, no one was interested in grabbing anything.

The most important thing is that everyone, or at least several great ninja villages, hope that the ninja world can have a force that always maintains a neutral position and does not favor any party.

If the situation gets out of control, you can at least find them as an intermediary to mediate or host negotiations.

This is also why the Five Shadow Conference in the original work is always held in the Kingdom of Iron.

At least in this war, the three major ninja villages did not intend to break this "tacit understanding."

No one can guarantee that he will be the victor.

And because the destructive power of ninjas is too powerful, the destructive power of war is also very serious in this era of low productivity.

If the situation reaches an uncontrollable stage, and both sides are at odds with each other, it will not save face to directly cease fighting and sit down for negotiations. It is still necessary for a neutral force to act as an intermediary to mediate.

As a result, except for the country of Taki, the country of Tian, ​​and the country of iron, all the other small countries were reduced to the three major...

No, it's the battlefield of the four major ninja villages.

Of course, if the "remnants" of the Cloud Ninja Village in the Land of Thunder are also included, it would not be a big problem to call it one of the five major Ninja Villages.

At least until the Kumo ninja's guerrillas are completely destroyed, no one can guarantee that they will fail.

Even if it is only a theoretical possibility, it is possible for Yun Ninja Village to be "resurrected" and re-establish the village.

With the foundation of a great ninja village, once it persists in this guerrilla war to the end and forces Konoha to retreat through diplomatic pressure, after the Kumo ninja village is rebuilt, it will definitely be far inferior to the past, and it will not even be ranked among the top five. Although he has no qualifications, he is still stronger than all other small ninja villages except Taki Ninja Village combined.

If you are lucky and develop one or two Kage level experts, you might be able to surpass Taki Ninja Village.

Of course, everyone can see that although this possibility exists, it only exists theoretically.

Konoha has seized most of the supplies and secret techniques of Kumo Ninja Village, which is not even the biggest loss.

Even people in the Naruto world understand that eggs cannot be put in one basket.

Outside Yun Ninja Village, there is more than one place where materials are stored.

This is to prevent those who are lucky enough to escape if the village is destroyed and have enough start-up capital to find a way to rebuild the village.

This kind of practice is not only done by Yun Ninja. In fact, slightly larger Ninja Villages have similar records.

Of course, the largest amount of supplies is still stored in the village.

The materials and wealth hidden in other "secret warehouses" are only a small part.

The Cloud Ninja guerrillas who inherited this "legacy" may not lack funds for activities, but it is not that difficult to rebuild the Cloud Ninja Village.

If only the losses in troops and materials were to be repaid, the biggest loss was actually in the "inheritance" aspect.

For example, the thunder escape chakra mode of the Raikage lineage, such as the two tails and the eight tails.

Perhaps, the only good news for the remaining guerrillas of Kumo ninja and other ninja villages except Konoha is that these "inheritances" cannot be quickly transformed into strength after becoming Konoha's trophies.

The training of Thunder Chakra mode takes a long time.

The two tails and eight tails disappeared with the death of the jinchuriki, and it would take at least a few years to resurrect them.

If you're not lucky, it could take decades.

If this were not the case, there would be no need to fight this war.

If the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails were captured directly by Konoha, with Konoha's level of sealing techniques, it would be possible to create two Jinchuuriki with Kage-level destructive power in a short period of time.

Although this short-term jinchuriki has great flaws and is absolutely impossible to control perfectly, it can barely be used on a large-scale battlefield.

At the very least, the destructive power of something like the Tailed Beast Jade is quite astonishing when faced with a large force.

With the foundation of Konoha, it is completely possible to send out enough strong men to contain the shadow-level strong men of Iwa Ninja and Sand Ninja in a one-on-one battle, and then use the Jinchūriki to bombard the Tailed Beasts from a distance.

With the Jinchuuriki's nearly infinite chakra, even if it cannot reach the state of a perfect Jinchuuriki, as long as it can partially transform into a tailed beast and release the tailed beast jade, its destructive power on the battlefield will be astonishing.

Whether ordinary genin, chuunin, or even nearly half of the jounin can survive the bombing of tailed beasts can only be decided by luck.

It's not that other ninja villages don't want to use this tactic, but they don't have enough strong men to contain the other side's strong men.

Although the perfect Jinchuriki has Kage-level combat power, ordinary Jinchuriki are very afraid of the "decapitation tactics" of Kage-level experts.

If you don't reach the level of perfect Jinchuriki, the Jinchuriki will have almost no power to resist in front of a Kage-level powerhouse.

Therefore, the "unlimited firepower" tactic with the jinchūriki as the core can only be realized if there are enough shadow-level warriors and enemy "duizi".

In fact, only Konoha could use this tactic.

Who makes the Konoha family have more shadow-level experts than all other ninja villages combined?

——Of course, this is when the Kumo ninja is destroyed.

Fortunately, although Konoha destroyed the Kumo ninja as they wished, they did not get the two and eight tails, and the most special nine tails could not go to the battlefield.

Not having to face the threat of jinchuriki is also good news for the Iwa Ninja and Sand Ninja.

However, this does not mean that Iwa Ninja and Suna Ninja can sit back and relax.
