Promote the theory of threat to Konoha, why Kirigakure brings Hide!

This third ninja war can be said to be the least unexpected war.

It is different from the First Ninja World War that was caused by the death of Senju Hashirama, the peerless strongman, and it is also different from the tacit agreement between the Ninja Villages to suppress the Kingdom of Rain, which led to the Sansho Fish Hanzo breaking the jar and breaking the jar to attack the Kingdom of Iron. The Second Ninja War.

The Third Ninja War was just like the Second Ninja War, which ended in an anticlimactic manner. The Ninja Village couldn't bear it after three years of tug-of-war, and had to sign a peace contract in Kirigakure Village. In fact, many people felt dissatisfied. This was already expected.

In the Second Ninja World War, the strength of the Sannin Village was not able to destroy Konoha. Although there were factors from the Land of Rain and Sansho Hanzo, it was enough to show the strength of Konoha at that time.

Therefore, the third ninja war will either not break out, or it will definitely be a war against Konoha, or led by Konoha.

Therefore, the essence of the Third Ninja World War is actually the continuation of the Second Ninja World War.

Since the reason for this Ninja World War was that Kumogakure Village lost a ninja in the Land of Fire, Kumogakure Village was the first to send troops among the anti-Konoha alliance.

However, Kumogakure did not rely on the strength of the alliance to go deep alone. Instead, it began to fight steadily, confronting the defenders in the northeast of Konoha on the line from Ta no Kuni to Yu No Kuni.

As the existence that Chao Simu thought about pulling Konoha down from the top ninja throne, Kumogakure can be said to be the ninja village most familiar with Konoha's strength.

They naturally knew that their own strength was no match for Konoha in a head-to-head confrontation, so they would not go deep alone to give Konoha a chance to defeat them one by one.

In the view of the Third Raikage, the current strength of the Anti-Konoha Alliance can be said to be 100% overwhelming of Konoha. All parties need to do is to encroach on Konoha's sphere of influence step by step, and they can eventually reach Konoha City.

Faced with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Kumogakure to become number one in the ninja world, the Third Raikage would naturally not take risks.

And he also had the idea in his mind to let others take the lead in marching and try out the Samsara Eye for Yunyin Village.

After all, it was the same model as the Immortal of Six Paths that had been sung for thousands of years. Before he actually met it, he was still a little scared in his heart.

However, the Third Raikage was not stupid, and the others were certainly not stupid either.

Everyone knows that Konoha is a centipede at this time, and everyone knows that whoever takes the first step at this time will face the full blow of Konoha in full swing.

Therefore, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure were all the same as Kumogakure at this time. They did not take advantage of Konoha's lack of troops and rush in quickly. Instead, they fought steadily and began to fight a war of attrition with Konoha.

Konoha is naturally dissatisfied with this, and the fact is just as the Third Raikage thought. Konoha naturally knows that Konoha cannot defeat the consortium of four ninja villages with hard power.

In the plan formulated by senior Konoha officials such as Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen, they wanted to take advantage of their unpreparedness and lead Konoha's elite to defeat one or even two ninja villages, and then fight with the remaining ninja villages to regain their strength. The success of the Second Ninja War.

However, what they never expected was that due to the exposure of Nagato Uzumaki's reincarnation eye and his identity as Jiraiya's master and disciple, all the ninja villages were afraid of being attacked by Konoha's strategy, and they all thought of slowly advancing to let the other ninja villages do what they wanted. Stand out.

Under such circumstances, Konoha's plan naturally aborted, and Shimura Danzo and others could only endure and engage in a war of attrition and positional warfare with the anti-Konoha alliance.

Suddenly, a scene completely different from the previous two ninja wars appeared on the Ninja Continent:

The war fronts between the various forces did not produce large-scale head-on confrontations. Instead, they were all small-scale but intensive intelligence warfare and infiltration warfare.

On the Ninja World Continent, a strange atmosphere of peace suddenly appeared. The two sides were obviously fighting fiercely in the public opinion field, but they almost knocked the dog's brains out.

However, on the actual battlefield, both sides maintained restraint, as if every inch of territory was a key strategic location, and fought steadily.

Konoha is well aware that this war will last for a long time, and ninjas cannot be reproduced in a short period of time. Naturally, they issued orders to Konoha ninjas to preserve their lives in non-critical wars, requiring that all operations should be carried out except for scheduled war locations or key missions. Preservation of life comes first.

Since each ninja village wanted to let the other ninja villages bear the pressure first, they naturally would not push forward desperately.

Therefore, on the battlefield, the sound of explosive symbols detonating, the roar of ninjutsu, and the sound of kunai being projected were everywhere for a while, but even if there was no human figure, it was difficult to see the corpse.

It has a bit of the meaning of "faith shooting" in Afika continent.

The war suddenly reached a stalemate.

——

"Master, is this Konoha?"

Outside Konoha Village, a group of three people arrived. One of the girls with blue hair looked at the spectacular Konoha Village not far away, and a trace of yearning flashed in her eyes.

Although Konoha is currently at war and martial law has begun in the village, it is still a big city with hundreds of thousands of people, and there are still people in the village who come out to purchase daily necessities.

Therefore, even though Konoha is now much more depressed than before, it still gave the girl a great shock.

For her who has been wandering around since she was a child, she actually doesn't have any big ambitions.

Her thoughts were very simple, she just wanted to find a stable place where she didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and then live with her companions forever.

Especially now that a childhood friend has died, this wish has been infinitely magnified.

In today's ninja world, Konoha Village is naturally widely regarded as one of the safest places, so the blue-haired girl who has just experienced repeated attacks and the departure of her childhood friends naturally wants to settle down.

"Yes, this is where the teacher lived and grew up."

The white-haired young man among the four looked at Konoha not far away, recalling all the experiences he had experienced traveling in the ninja world in the past few years, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, he seemed to notice something, and turned his head to glance at the red-haired boy next to him, his eyes full of endearment.

"Don't worry, Nagato. Now that we've come to Konoha, we'll be safe. No one will come to harass us anymore."

"By the way, there are also members of your tribe in the village. They are about the same age as you. I think you must have a common language."

Uzumaki Nagato raised his head and glanced at his teacher, then nodded silently.

Jiraiya looked at the silent Uzumaki Nagato and couldn't help but think of the cheerful yellow-haired boy, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Jiraiya, who had left Konoha for six years, naturally had his own reasons for taking Uzumaki Nagato back to Konoha at this time.

On the one hand, it was because Konoha suffered a heavy blow and was jointly encircled and suppressed by the four ninja villages.

This is different from when Jiraiya left Konoha during the Second Ninja War. When Jiraiya left, Iwagakure Village had been severely damaged and had withdrawn from the battlefield. The remaining Kumogakure Village and Sunagakure Village were naturally not owned by Konoha at that time. opponent.

Even if the Iwagakure Village later participated in the war again, the situation at that time was not very dangerous. In addition, Jiraiya met the "Destiny Child" for the first time, so he could naturally ignore Konoha.

But this time is different. With the four ninja villages united, Konoha is really capable of overthrowing, and Jiraiya will definitely rush back to help Konoha.

And this second reason... naturally has something to do with Uzumaki Nagato.

Since Jiraiya left Konoha following the incident of Hatake Sakumo and Hatake Nao, he returned to the Land of Rain and began to cultivate three little ones with great care.

Because the Ninja International Alliance established by Ghost Light Crescent is in the Kingdom of Iron, not far from the Kingdom of Rain, and the establishment of the alliance itself means guarding the Kingdom of Rain and Sansho Hanzo.

Therefore, Jiraiya, who was afraid that the reincarnation eye would be exposed, after discussing the pros and cons with the three little ones, left the Country of Rain with the three little ones and began to travel around the ninja world.

In the process of traveling, Jiraiya further trained the three little ones, especially Uzumaki Nagato, and he was in the golden age of growing the strength of young ninjas.

Over the past few years, several people have made rapid progress.

Originally everything was fine, but not long ago, for some unknown reason, Jiraiya and his party were suddenly attacked by a large number of strange ninjas.

Although these ninjas were all disguised, Jiraiya, who was well-informed, still saw through the opponent's identity during the battle.

What surprised him was that these ninjas all came from the three great ninja villages of Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure.

After the three major ninja villages heard the news about the Rinnegan Eye, they would naturally try every means to test the strength of the Rinnegan Eye, and they were prepared to seize the Rinnegan Eye just in case.

In these battles, in order to prevent the news of Uzumaki Nagato's reincarnation eye from being exposed, Jiraiya did not let Uzumaki Nagato participate in the battle.

With Jiraiya, a half-immortal, in charge, and Yahiko Konan's strength, it is easy to deal with these enemies.

But there were helpless enemies coming one after another, and since he had only been a thief for a thousand days, there was no way he could guard against thieves the day before. Finally, in a battle, due to his poor care and the lack of combat experience among his disciples, Yahiko was killed by the enemy.

Because of this, Uzumaki Nagato finally broke out.

Although all the enemies were killed in the end, Jiraiya was worried and could only take his disciples back to Konoha to seek protection.

It is worth noting that the ninjas that Black Zetsu brought to the vicinity of Uzumaki Nagato's home were from Kumogakure. Therefore, Uzumaki Nagato did not have any hatred for Konoha ninjas in this life. Otherwise, I am afraid that Uzumaki Nagato would rather die outside. Nor was he willing to come to Konoha to receive protection.

So against this background, the three of them came to Konoha.

"Hey, Jiraiya, it's been a long time since I've seen the child so big?"

Just when Jiraiya was thinking about how to comfort his disciple, a familiar greeting came from not far away, causing a smile to appear on his face like a reflex.

"Haha, Tsunade, if I really have a child in this life, there will be no one else but you."

Jiraiya looked at his sweetheart whom he hadn't seen for many years, and he couldn't help but start to seek death.

"Jiraiya, don't force me to slap you on such a pleasant day."

Tsunade had a bright smile on her face, but the words coming out of her mouth were as cold as ice.

Her purpose of coming here was naturally the same as Jiraiya's. Even though she was disappointed in Konoha, when she really heard that Konoha was in danger of overthrowing, she still couldn't help but come here, hoping to protect her grandfather's last hard work.

Six years have passed, and time seems to have lost its traces on Tsunade.

Tsunade, who is thirty-two years old this year, still exudes amazing youthful vitality.

Comparing it with Jiraiya, they are obviously the same age, but now they seem to be ten years apart.

Shizune, who was following behind, was now twelve years old, and her body had begun to grow. Her delicate body was hidden in a wide black dress, and she followed Tsunade step by step with a piglet in her arms.

Tsunade was teasing Jiraiya while looking at Uzumaki Nagato and Konan without revealing any trace.

As the person who rescued the three little ones together with Jiraiya and Orochimaru, Tsunade had also covered for Jiraiya's departure. Naturally, she knew that Uzumaki Nagato possessed the Rinnegan, and she also knew that her companion Think of it as "Destiny's Child."

After not seeing each other for so many years, she was naturally curious about the growth of the Samsara Eye.

"Tsunade, you are still the same!"

Facing Tsunade's threat, Jiraiya laughed and didn't care about Tsunade's words.

Just kidding, not even a single rib was broken, so where are you?

"Two adults, Hokage-sama invites you."

Just when the two of them wanted to continue chatting, an ANBU ninja appeared and interrupted their conversation.

These two characters with such obvious features were heading towards Konoha, so of course they would be monitored by the ANBU.

Now is the time to employ people, so Shimura Danzo will naturally not let them go, and sent people to greet them before they enter the village.

The two looked at each other, not surprised, and just followed the ANBU ninja calmly into the village.

Amidst the pleasantries along the way, the five of them finally arrived at the Hokage Building and met Shimura Danzo and others.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his teacher, two advisors, and his companion Orochimaru.

Before the two could say hello, Danzo Shimura's voice was heard.

"Hmph! You still want to come back, it's really beyond my expectation!"

As soon as Danzo Shimura saw the two of them, he scolded them unceremoniously.

In his opinion, it was a heinous crime for these two people to be Konoha ninjas who had been away for a long time. If the war hadn't started, he would never have let these two people return to the village so easily.

The two of them turned their heads and looked at the unfamiliar figure in the familiar office. Whether it was Jiraiya or Tsunade, they couldn't help but feel dazed for a while.

"Danzo, don't mention the past anymore. The village is at a critical moment now. Every ninja is a valuable fighting force, not to mention Jiraiya and Tsunade."

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed and smoothed things over for his two disciples.

Shimura Danzo naturally understood this truth, snorted coldly and stopped talking, focusing his gaze on Uzumaki Nagato.

"Is this the holder of the Samsara Eye that you said, Jiraiya?"

As Shimura Danzo spoke, everyone present looked at Uzumaki Nagato.

They had already learned what happened from Jiraiya's letters. When they learned that the identity of the "child of destiny" mentioned by Jiraiya was the Rinnegan, everyone present was shocked.

Shimura Danzo's eyes flashed, he suppressed the heat in his heart, and said righteously:

"Jiraiya, since you have brought back the Samsara Eye, I will no longer care about what you did before."

"Now that the village is in crisis, the precious fighting power of the Samsara Eye must be put to good use... I think the Samsara Eye should be under the control of ANBU."

"I disagree!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked on the table with his pipe and looked at his old teammate, without any hint of joy or anger in his voice.

"Since Uzumaki Nagato is Jiraiya's apprentice, it is natural that he should act together with him. What's the point of splitting it up?"

Shimura Danzo narrowed his eyes and stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In the past few years, Sarutobi Hiruzen had given him many obstacles, but Danzo Shimura had eliminated them all, resulting in Sarutobi Hiruzen's current power being much weaker than before.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's behavior at this time made Danzo Shimura think that he wanted to master the Rinnegan to prepare for his restoration.

So he snorted coldly, not giving any face to his old teammate.

"Leave it to Jiraiya? Isn't the reason he returned to Konoha because he couldn't protect the Rinnegan?"

"And in Konoha now, the Anbu are naturally respected in terms of strength, so the responsibility of protecting the Rinnegan naturally falls on the Anbu."

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to say something, Danzo Shimura, who had lost his patience, waved his hand and launched his ultimate move.

"Sarutobi, I am the Hokage!"
