I established the Kua Kua Cult in Naruto

Chapter 353 Those who walk on the spider web are either prey or predators

After Hai left, Tatsuma started thinking by himself again, and it could even be said that he was a little distressed.

He has been planning and participating in the Water Kingdom operation for more than a year, and it can be said that he has devoted a lot of energy and effort. Now that there is progress, he should continue to follow up.

But Kushina just lost control. He is currently the most effective line of defense after Kushina lost control. The village will definitely prevent him from leaving the village in the near future, at least not so far away that he cannot come back in time.

Similarly, after losing control, Kushina's emotions may not have completely settled down yet. At this point in time, she is probably the most insecure.

It may not matter to Kushina personally that Tatsuma leaves, but if Tatsuma wants to follow up on the mission to the Kingdom of Water, he must lead the team to leave.

In other words, Minato will also be taken away. If Minato leaves at this time, it will have a great impact on Kushina. Whether it is subjective or objective, Minato is the one who should not leave.

Tatsuma was thinking that if he proposed to Sarutobi Hiruzen the idea of ​​taking the team on a mission, he would probably be rejected again, so he was distressed.

Moreover, the recent events have been too concentrated, so concentrated that Chenma even wondered if someone was manipulating all of this.

First, it caused a riot in the Kyuubi, and then the Kirigakure Village stepped up its efforts to suppress the rebel ninja, causing the rebel ninjas to hurry up and prepare supplies to fight against the Kirigakure Village.

And Tatsuma was unable to leave Konoha because of the Nine-Tails Uprising.

Not counting the secret operations of Kumogakure Village and the whereabouts of Iwagakure Village's additional funding, the entire ninja world seemed to feel like a storm was about to come.

The feeling of approaching war also appeared in Tatsuma's mind again.

And compared to the premonition of the second ninja war when he was still in the ninja school, Tatsuma now stands at a higher position and can see more things.

So much so that there seems to be no sign of a war in the ninja world, but Tatsuma has already begun to worry.

Because the scale, impact, time, scope, and number of participants of the Third Ninja War are all greater than those of the Second Ninja War.

There is a saying that the Third Ninja World War is a continuation of the Second Ninja World War, but in Tatsuma's opinion, this statement is not appropriate enough. Tatsuma personally feels that this is more like a war to reorganize the resources of the Ninja World launched by all parties. .

The Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Earth have increased their allocations year after year, and the development of Ninja Village is booming. More and more combat power has been accumulated, and their ambitions have begun to throb.

After all, in today's ninja world, there is no one who can make the main plans, and the funds allocated by their respective daimyo are not to cultivate a bunch of redundant people, but to seek better development.

The division of internal resources is coming to an end, and even part of the future has been overdrawn. A large number of ninja groups have accumulated that are of no great use in peacetime. It is easy to guess the thoughts of each daimyo.

And now the shinobi world also has a stage for them to perform. The continuous losses of Sunagakure Village and the distrust and lack of reliance of the daimyo of the Land of Wind have made Sunagakure Village's overall strength lagging behind the three countries of fire, earth and thunder.

But today, the country of Wind's international status in the ninja world has not changed much. There are still many small countries or large caravans who choose to trust Sunagakure Village and pay high commission fees every year.

And once the international status of the Country of Wind declines, or even falls out of the ranks of the five major countries, then Sunagakure Village will no longer have the same status as Konoha, Iwagakure Village, Kumogakure Village, etc.

At that time, a large amount of entrusted funds will flow out and flow into the pockets of other major countries and great ninja villages.

At the same time, the Fire Nation did not enter a period of rapid development in the years after the Second Ninja War. Although the Fire Nation daimyo also allocated a large amount of money, these funds were not used for war reserves.

Over the years, the Fire Country's population, economy, and technology have not made breakthrough progress. Where there has been progress, it has been in pathological medical treatment and people's livelihood construction that are not very helpful in the war.

In other words, from a clear perspective, the overall combat power of the Land of Fire, or the Hidden Leaf Village, is still at the level of the Second Ninja War.

In the Second Ninja World War, although Konoha won victory on all battlefields, it was not easy. Moreover, the only major countries that really ended up in the Second Ninja World War were the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind.

The only great ninja village Konoha faces is Sunagakure Village. As for Amegakure Village, Hanzo is strong, but Amegakure Village is not strong. It can be considered a medium-strength enemy.

But just in the face of these two enemies, plus the disturbance from Iwagakure and Kumogakure, Konoha has begun to show signs of fatigue, which may also have given these two ninja villages a signal.

That is, once they really end, even Konoha will not be without the possibility of being defeated.

As for the policy of the blockade of the Kingdom of Water, all the villages have unknown information about them. However, Kumogakure Village's good intentions towards the release of rebellious ninja from Kirigakure Village in the past two years, and the repeated cooperation they have reached, actually illustrate one point.

The Cloud Hidden Village is also very interested in knowing the internal situation of the Water Kingdom. If the new AB combination and Yui Yui really accompany the Kirigakure Village rebel group to the Water Country this time, it may be a thorough investigation.

Regarding the rebel ninja group in Kirigakure Village counterattacking Kirigakure Village, Tatsuma's mentality of coming to Kirigakure Village should be similar to that of Konoha. While watching the fire from the other side, he could see if he could take advantage of the fire to rob it, or even become an arsonist.

This is also the reason why Tatsuma previously suggested taking the initiative to "cooperate" with the Kirigakure Village rebel ninja group and lead it to the Kingdom of Thunder.

But when Tatsuma was planning at that time, he did not foresee the coming of another war so early. Although he knew that there would be a third ninja war and the approximate time, the current situation...

It really feels like dark clouds are closing in on the city, and it feels like the ninja world is hanging on a tightrope. The five major nations are all walking on a tightrope. If any one of them collapses first, the other four nations will take action without hesitation.

Moreover, Tatsuma is one of the culprits who caused all this.

Tatsuma rubbed his temples, reflecting on whether he had been a little too presumptuous in the past few years. He had already provoked Konoha to Kumogakure Village, Sunagakure Village, and was about to provoke Kirigakure Village.

If his "Takasugi Shinsuke" vest is taken off, will the Third Ninja War turn into a crusade against him, Sakamoto Tatsuma?

He has never caused trouble in Iwagakure Village. Although he also hates Onoki who started to praise and kill him when he was in a meager state, it seems that he has never had the opportunity to cause trouble.

No, Tatsuma suddenly thought of Hatake Sakumo's mission. Hatake Sakumo's mission was related to the whereabouts of additional funding for Iwagakure Village and the information on the two tailed beasts.

Whether this mission succeeds or fails, it can become an excuse for Iwagakure to attack Konoha.

Tatsuma seems to have been able to see that in this ninja world that he participated in, the Third Ninja World War was detonated as an "excuse", and he, Sakamoto Tatsuma, was the culprit!

Tatsuma didn't know if the cause of the Third Ninja War would change, but even if it didn't change, Tatsuma, who had unleashed natural disasters on the Land of Wind after the Sandaime Kazekage was killed by Scorpion, was definitely the best suspect.

When he thought of his Guangmingding being besieged by the six sects, Tatsuma stopped thinking and trembled all over. Damn it, why don't you retire from the ninja world from today?

But when he thought of the strange whim-like feelings that had occurred several times in the past two years, Chenma's sense of crisis came back to him. What he was afraid of was that he wanted to wash his hands in a golden basin, but someone would not let him.

After lying on the table and thinking for a moment, Tatsuma stood up, rolled up the scroll with a shake of his hand, put it into his pocket, and then disappeared into a ray of silver light.

In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi pulled out the cotton swab from his pipe, knocked the pipe on the table, then put it aside, looked at the time and the sky outside, and showed a kind smile.

The weather is very good today, with the warm spring sunshine starting to appear. Going out for a walk at this time can easily reconnect with the villagers who rarely go out in winter.

And now it’s time for lunch, so it’s decided! Go visit the villagers and have a quick meal!

"Hokage-sama."

At this moment, a figure came through the window and saw that the person who came was Tatsuma. Sarutobi Hiruzen's mood could not be said to have worsened, but his interest also dropped a lot.

Tatsuma is not an idle person. He has even been one of the busiest ninjas in the village. He definitely did not come to the Hokage's office just to chat.

The thought of having to work during meal breaks makes no one feel better.

"what's up?"

But Sarutobi Hiruzen still kept a decent smile and asked Tatsuma.

Tatsuma didn't say anything else, he just took out the scroll and put it on Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk. He then pushed it in the direction of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then he stood still and waited.

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened the scroll, glanced at it twice and then looked away. He had received this information in the morning. He also understood the contents inside and did not need to read any more.

And he also knew the purpose of Tatsuma's arrival. It was definitely not to send him information, but to

"Tatsuma, do you want to continue to be responsible for this project?"

Hearing this, Tatsuma did not hide anything, nodded, and said: "Yes, Hokage-sama, I have been following this mission for more than a year. No one knows the situation of the Kingdom of Water better than me. I will lead the team there." It’s the most suitable.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became serious and said: "Tatsuma, you should also know that the village's top priority is to ensure that Kushina's condition is under control, and at the same time, establish a training ground that allows Kushina to control the power of the Nine-Tails. .

How can you live without this? In comparison, the internal rebellion in the Kingdom of Water is, after all, a foreign matter. You have to distinguish between what is minor and what is serious. "

"Lord Hokage, Cloud Hidden Village may also be involved. In other words, this is not an internal matter in the Kingdom of Water, but an international incident, and we have to pay attention to it."

"I've heard about it too, but isn't that something that hasn't been determined yet?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen still didn't want Tatsuma to get involved, but Tatsuma insisted: "Because of this, I should go there. If Kumogakure Village is really involved, then find out its purpose.

If Yunyin Village is not involved, it can also eliminate an option for the village, allowing the village to focus on finding the whereabouts and intelligence of the new AB combination. "

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to think deeply. Looking at the determination on Tatsuma's face, he said hesitantly: "But Kushina's side."

"I have a way to ensure that the Kyuubi will not riot in a short time."
