Chat group from Naruto

"It seems that if we don't add fuel to the fire, this war will last for a long time..."

Fang Zhou frowned and watched the live broadcast of the Rain Kingdom battlefield through the backstage of the chat group.

The plan of the Iwa Ninja and the Sand Ninja was good, but Konoha's support was extremely fast, and the number of supporting troops exceeded Ohnoki and Rasa's expectations.

The Thousand Hands Clan!

This power, at first, was not taken into account by Onoki and Luo Sha.

The latter is unaware of their existence. After all, he is just a Kazekage who took office "in case of danger". Even now, Rasa has not fully grasped all the rights in Sunagakure Village.

As for the former, although they know that the part of the Senju clan that split off is still alive, their understanding is not deep.

After all, there is no need to pay attention to a force that does not operate in the "ninja world".

Unexpectedly, Konoha actually convinced the Senju clan and the two parties reunited.

In order to achieve this, Konoha paid a high price.

First of all, Namikaze Minato officially "recognized his ancestors and returned to the clan" and changed his name to "Senju Minato".

According to the genealogy "researched" jointly by the Senju clan and Konoha, Minato is the nephew of the contemporary daimyo of the Land of Fire. Their grandfathers are cousins, and they can be regarded as relatives from the fifth server.

Although the fifth server was released, there was such a level of kinship, which at least nominally brought the distance between Konoha and the Fire Country Daimyo Mansion closer.

According to the agreement between the two parties, it will take several generations to gradually integrate Konoha into the Daming Palace and become the only military institution of the Fire Country.

The top management of Konoha, especially the major ninja clans, will become part of the Fire Nation's aristocratic class.

As for the common people of Konoha...

There are still ways for them to rise, and ninja school is the most important one.

After graduating from the Ninja School, you join the military organization called "Ninja" and serve. If you make enough achievements, you will get the opportunity to be promoted.

However, the ceiling of this promotion route is to become a retainer of a certain noble. After serving the noble for several generations, you may be able to receive a "gift" and become a minor noble.

Of course, this is just a rough plan. If it is really promoted, it will be impossible to succeed without the efforts of several generations.

Before that, through the agreement signed by the Fourth Hokage and the Daimyo, the military forces of both parties will temporarily unite to launch offensives against the remaining countries.

The steps to unify the ninja world began here.

After Tsunade came to Konoha with dozens of ninjas from the Senju clan, she happened to catch up with Minato Namikaze... Minato Senju received Jiraiya's signal for help.

Using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato quickly brought the ninjas of the Senju clan to the front line, at the cost of consuming two-thirds of his chakra and being unable to enter Sage mode again, barely retaining an ordinary Kage-level warrior. force.

Of course, even if there is a serious lack of chakra and he can no longer use Sage mode, Minato is still one of the strongest men standing at the top of the ninja world.

Not to mention, among the reinforcements this time, there were strong men like Tsunade and Senju Sen.

Although Konoha's combat power loss was considerable because many people were injured, no one was killed. This is the greatest good news.

After the addition of this batch of reinforcements, the combat power of both sides was roughly equal on paper.

The coalition of Rock Ninja and Sand Ninja seems to be stronger, but the credibility of those mercenaries cannot be guaranteed. Overall, it can be said to be a [-]-[-] split.

Of course Konoha didn't want to fight.

Kai, who had opened the Seven Gates, suffered the backlash of the Eight Gates Dungeon and had completely lost his combat effectiveness. The trio of Ino Shika Butterfly had basically exhausted their chakra. Shiguro Aburame and the ninja Inuzuka Claw of the Inuzuka clan were seriously injured, although they were temporarily lifeless. It is dangerous, but it must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise it may leave serious sequelae.

Under this situation, it would be in Konoha's best interest for both sides to temporarily stop fighting and treat the wounded as soon as possible.

But people in Konoha understand this, and Onoki and Rasa can also understand it.

If we can't take advantage of the loss of many people in Konoha as soon as possible, once the opponent's wounded recover and return to the battlefield, Konoha will immediately gain a huge advantage.

So, under Ohnoki's order, the coalition launched another attack on Konoha.

This time, it was no longer a tentative attack, but a signal for a full-scale attack.

However, under Konoha's tenacious defense, this wave of offensive only caused casualties to some low-level cannon fodder ninjas.

Among the high-end combat powers, only Aburame Zhiwei withdrew from the battlefield due to exhaustion of chakra.

But on the coalition side, the mercenary Rain Ninja Hydrangea was also seriously injured and lost one of her left arms.

Fortunately, her teammates found an opportunity and picked up the broken left arm, giving them a chance to reattach it.

Of course, the result of compromised combat effectiveness is unavoidable.

No matter how excellent the technology for reattaching severed limbs is, it will still have an impact.

In the end, Namikaze Minato used up his last chakra to use his psychic technique, summoning several large toads of the same level as Toad Takeru, and then led everyone in Konoha to safely withdraw from the battlefield.

The giant toad in Miaomu Mountain is very powerful in itself, and its vitality is astonishingly strong. Injuries that would be fatal to ordinary humans would not be felt at all by the giant toad.

Moreover, the giant toads can disable their psychic skills and escape back to Miaomu Mountain when encountering a life-or-death crisis, so they are almost fearless of death when fighting.

After struggling to break off several large toads, Konoha's troops were finally able to safely evacuate, making the coalition side jump in anger.

However, it was no longer possible to continue the pursuit.

On the one hand, after a big battle, not only the people of Konoha were tired, but the coalition forces were also tired.

On the other hand, no one can guarantee whether Konoha will lay any traps to ambush the pursuers on the way back.

No, it should be said that setting up traps and ambushes is certain.

On the basis that the gap in hard power between the two sides is not that big, once the fleeing party is allowed to open a certain distance and has time to set up a trap, it is definitely unwise to continue the pursuit.

When encountering traps and ambushes, one's own side will turn from active to passive, and the situation will be very unfavorable.

There is no obvious difference in strength. Factors other than strength will have a huge impact on victory or defeat.

Therefore, after chasing for a symbolic distance, Ohnoki and Rasa could only announce their withdrawal no matter how unwilling they were.

At this point, the first large-scale confrontation between the Iwa Ninja, Suna Ninja coalition forces and Konoha ended in a draw.

Judging from the caution of both sides, no high-level combatants were killed in this battle. What follows is bound to be a long tug-of-war.

Of course, with Tsunade's level of medical ninjutsu, the injuries of Kai, Inuzuka Claw and others can be fully recovered. Although it will take a longer time, it will only take two or three months at most to return to the battlefield.

By that time, Konoha's paper strength will overtake the combined forces of Iwa Ninja and Sand Ninja.

If the combined forces of Iwa Ninja and Sand Ninja do not weaken Konoha enough before then, Konoha will have the absolute initiative.

Relying on the advantages of strength and numbers, it will be an almost certain result to consume the strength of the coalition forces through a long war of attrition and finally defeat the opponent.

However, Konoha does not necessarily have the last laugh.

The counterattack of the Iwa Ninja and the Sand Ninja was on the one hand.

Ohnoki and Rasa would definitely not be able to watch Konoha easily take the final victory, and they would definitely try their best to deal a blow to Konoha before Konoha's wounded recovered.

Although Konoha holds a certain amount of initiative, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly.

Maybe a successful large-scale ambush would cause Konoha to lose a large number of strong men and reverse the situation.

If these problems are relatively easy to prevent, another trouble is right around the corner.

That is the threat to Kirigakure Village.

The most important thing about Konoha's ability to gain a strength advantage over the coalition forces is that Kirigakure did not participate in the war.

As long as the decision-makers of Kirigakure Village are not idiots, they will definitely not be able to join forces with Konoha, whose strength far exceeds theirs. Instead, they will definitely form an alliance with Iwa Ninja and Sand Ninja, and jointly solve the biggest threat to Konoha before deciding whether to Keep fighting, or stop fighting each other.

With the strength of Kirigakure Village, they can gather at least ten shadow-level and quasi-kage-level masters, who will definitely be able to contain Konoha's large number of troops.

This does not include the cannon fodder such as genin and chuunin, which number at least in the thousands.

Now, Kirigakure Village has not participated in the war. It is completely suppressed by Fangzhou, or "Otsutsuki Ichiraku" alone, and cannot land.

However, the agreement between Konoha and Fangzhou only lasted for half a year, and now nearly half of it has passed.

Once the agreement expires and Fangzhou loses its suppression, Wuyin Village will definitely not miss the opportunity to participate in the war.

This has nothing to do with the mission of the chat group, it is purely for their own survival.

Once Konoha unites the ninja continent, even if Kirigakure Village is isolated overseas, it may not be able to protect itself.

At that time, the survival of Kirigakure Village will depend on whether Konoha is willing to spend time and cost to destroy Kirigakure Village.

The question is not whether it can be destroyed, but how much it will cost to destroy Kirigakure Village.

As one of the five great ninja villages, Kirigakure would definitely not be willing to pin its life and death on the "mercy" of its enemies.

In fact, even now, Kirigakure Village has not given up the idea of ​​​​landing, and has been trying to find a breakthrough point.

However, a terrifying and powerful man named "Otsutsuki Ichiraku" firmly suppressed the large forces of Kirigakure Village in the Country of Waves, without any chance of landing.

Of course, in order to save himself most of the trouble, Fang Zhou secretly sent a message to Kirigakure Village through Orochimaru in private, stating that he and Konoha were only in an employment relationship and would not interfere again after the employment agreement expired.

Faced with the two choices of spending most of the village's strength to force a landing, or waiting for a few months to enter the ninja continent unscathed, Kirigakure chose the latter without any suspense, and reached a silent agreement with Fang Zhou. tacit agreement.

This is not a trick on Konoha.

The agreement between Fangzhou and Konoha was originally only half a year.

There is no rule prohibiting the contents of the agreement from being disclosed.

Although he had a favorable impression of some characters in Konoha, Fang Zhou didn't have much favorable impression of the village of Konoha.

However, this is not the reason why Fangzhou deliberately dug a hole for Konoha.

The real reason is that Fang Zhou hopes that this ninja war will be fierce enough.

If more characters whose names are left in the original work die, more of the origin of the world will be harvested.

As for who the final winner is, Fang Zhou doesn't care much.

If there is really a village that can unify the ninja world, no matter which one it is, it will be an absolute good thing for Fangzhou.

This can almost harvest the most world origins except for the "two ultimate main lines".

However, what made Fang Zhou a little confused was.

Looking at the current situation, before the agreement between himself and Konoha expires, there seems to be some...

Can't fight?

The coalition wanted to fight, but since Konoha had been passively avoiding the war, it was difficult to find an opportunity to force Konoha to fight.

It was impossible to take the initiative to attack Konoha's base camp.

After several months of operation, Konoha's base camp is not said to be impregnable, but it also has a considerable degree of home field advantage.

If they don't want to destroy the opponent's home field advantage and attack rashly, the coalition's battle loss ratio will definitely be much higher than that of Konoha.

However, destroying the opponent's home court is easy to say but extremely difficult to do.

Not everyone is called "Su".

If the coalition forces really had such a method, they would not let the situation reach such a stalemate.

Just when the coalition forces and Konoha were in a stalemate, Hyuga Hizashi suddenly came to Fangzhou.

At the defense line of Wave Country, Fangzhou played more of a deterrent role, but ordinary chores were left to Hinata and Hizashi.

The latter not only "knows how to be a good person", but is also very capable and manages all matters, large and small, in an orderly manner.

And every two days, Hyuga Hizashi would give detailed reports to Fang Zhou to show that he had no intention or position of seizing power.

However, this time, Hyuga Hizashi came to Kangsu, not to report what happened in the camp, but to convey the request of the Konoha envoy.

Not only Fangzhou and Kirigakure themselves saw the threat of Kirigakure, but Konoha was also very aware of it.

As for Fang Zhou's unwillingness to "renew the contract" with Konoha and extend his guard time, Fang Zhou had made his position clear to Konoha very early.

Originally, Konoha asked Fangzhou to guard the defense line of Wave Country, mainly to buy time to break through Kumo Ninja Village.

In the plan, half a year is definitely enough.

This was indeed the case. It only took two months for Konoha to complete this attack.

But he didn't expect that after breaking through the Cloud Ninja Village, Konoha would face the enemy of the world.

Under this situation, whether Fangzhou can continue to help them deal with the threat from Hidden Mist Village is a matter of life and death.

With Konoha's strength, one-on-one would be a sure win, one-on-two would also have a good chance of winning, but one-on-three wouldn't work.

"Didn't I say it a long time ago? After the expiration of half a year, I will leave and will not renew my contract with Konoha." Fang Zhou made it clear to Hinata Hizashi: "I have my own things to do. , it is impossible to spend time here all the time. The next thing to do is very important to me, no matter what price you pay for Konoha, I will not continue to help you guard this place."

"I understand what your lord means." Hinata Hizashi lowered his posture and showed a meaningful smile: "I remember your lord once said that you can help us destroy Kirigakure Village?"
