What's Up with This Puppet Master?

The genius of each ninja village is noteworthy, but not always necessary.

The major ninja villages are very strict with the protection of geniuses, and it is difficult for you to keep track of their movements.

And what about genius?

Except for the otherworldly existences like the first Hokage and Uchiha Madara, a single individual is really not worth mentioning compared to Shinobu Village.

As Hokage, caring about the development of the village is more important.

"If it wasn't important enough that you, Hokage, must know the information, would I make a special trip to bring it to you?" Danzo said angrily.

"...Yes." Sarutobi stared at Danzo for a while, then continued to look at the documents in his hand.

I have roughly flipped through the previous ones, until the last two, when I saw the handwriting that said the Four Great Ninja Villages Raid on Sandyin, I looked at it carefully.

[Three generations of Kazekage disappeared, and a large number of ninjas went out to investigate, causing the internal defense to be empty.

Yunyin, Yanyin, Yuyin, and Grassyin united, and when the three generations of Kazekage returned and went out to investigate the ninja before they returned, they attacked Sandyin by surprise.

The [-] ninja united army attacked the sandyin gate frontally, and nearly a hundred ninjas sneaked in and destroyed the sandyin village, trying to attract the enemy to defend, and cooperate with the inside and the outside.

But everything was stopped by "Xuanqi Ryuji" Sandyin Shangin.

One person fights ten elite ninjas and wins easily, with only one enemy escaping.

Later, on the frontal battlefield, three artillery pieces retreated from the enemy...]

Seeing this, Sarutobi put down the document and looked up at Danzo, "Are you trying to make me happy?"

The news of the surprise attack on Shayin by the Four Great Ninja Villages has spread in the past few days, and he naturally knows about it.

It is even known that Sandyin Village won an overwhelming victory.

However, one person versus ten elite ninjas... well, even one person versus twenty is not impossible.

It mainly depends on the level of the elite of the enemy.

If it were an ordinary chunin elite, Minato would have done it many times.

But the ten elites recorded in this report are all famous in the ninja world, the kind that ordinary shadow-level masters cannot easily win.

With ten such masters playing together, he and Danzang don't know if they can beat each other.

However, he was defeated by a rising star in Sandyin Village.

Still a landslide victory.

How strong is this rising star?

Another Madara Uchiha or the original Hokage?

What's even more outrageous is the frontal war involved in the back, and the three artillery retreats.

Is he a tailed beast jade?

Otherwise, how can the mountain artillery retreat from the enemy when the power gap between the enemy and us is huge?

Rao is Sarutobi knowing that Danzo's attitude is serious and unsmiling, but at this time he also suspects that he is looking for his own happiness.

"I know what you're thinking, but it shouldn't be like that..." Having said that, Danzang paused for a while, organized vocabulary, and then continued: "In the report, Xuanqi Long Er used a very powerful artillery bombardment. Weapons, not only on the frontal battlefield, but also inside the village."

"You mean?"

"It's just as you guessed." Danzo and Sarutobi are friends from childhood to adulthood, and they are also classmates and teammates.He understood Sarutobi's thoughts very well, even if Sarutobi didn't say anything, but just meeting his eyes, he understood what he was thinking.

Therefore, he explained: "Xuanqi Long Er may be very strong, but it is definitely not as strong as imagined. It is only by relying on that weapon to achieve a record that makes people afraid to be confident."

"It is indeed possible."

Sarutobi nodded slightly, and immediately said suspiciously: "But that kind of powerful weapon must also consume a lot of chakra, but your report shows that he used four consecutive shots and is about to fire a fifth... This is Tricky, but nothing.

With Shayin's situation at the time, being able to scare off the Allied Forces of the Four Villages must be due to the fear of the power of this weapon, which means that five shots are far from its limit. "

On that crucial battlefield, Sandyin would choose to launch such a powerful attack at will.For them, such an attack is by no means a life-saving straw that can only be used a few times, but a trump card that can completely turn the tide of the battle.

The ninja coalition at that time thought so, and so did the companions of Sandyin Village.

Sarutobi and Danzo, who were not at the scene and only came to a conclusion through investigation, could only think so.

"Because of this, I will come to you alone."

Danzo and Sarutobi had serious expressions on their faces.

Although Sandyin and Konoha signed a pact after the Second Ninja World War.

But both of them knew that the covenant was meant to be torn apart.

Especially Sandyin Village...Because of geographical and environmental constraints, if they want to develop, they must seize the territory of the Kingdom of Chuan, and they are bound to become enemies with Konoha.

Otherwise, they can only follow Konoha's butt as little brothers all their lives.

People's ambitions will expand as their strength becomes stronger, and no one wants to be a younger brother for a lifetime.

Sand Hidden Village has such a strategic weapon, coupled with the crushing victory of this one-on-four... They are very likely.

No, not very likely, but definitely.

They will definitely feel that their strength has become unstoppable, so they will launch an attack on the country of Sichuan.

Chapter 38 Big Picture Planning

It was just Sandyin Village's attack, and they didn't feel anything.

Although Sarutobi hopes to coexist peacefully, he will not be afraid of war if he encounters war.

He was still in his prime, and he still had ambitions in his heart, not the old man who was thinking of a peaceful solution when the incident came to an end.

but.

The four major ninja villages joined forces to attack Shayin and failed. Not only did they not gain a little benefit, but they suffered heavy losses.

They certainly won't let it go.

After the end of the Second Ninja World War, the major ninja villages have recuperated, and the number of ninjas has increased. Now they are facing a situation of insufficient task delegation.

Their Da Shinobi Village is still good, their reputation is there, and most people are still willing to give them the task to complete.

But those little ninja villages have waged more than a dozen wars to compete for mission commissions.

Now, even Yunyin and Yanyin have joined them.

It shows that they have also begun to face the pressure of task delegation or that they must use war to meet their needs.

When the first war was unsuccessful, the situation they faced would not improve, but worsen.

They are bound to not give up, and will turn the situation around through a larger war.

If they find the perfect time to attack Shayin and fail, they will never attack Shayin again.

Because the gains outweigh the losses.

And the huge map of the ninja world, turning over and over again, only Konoha is the best target to attack.

After all, as the first ninja village in the ninja world.

Konoha has contracted nearly half of the tasks of the ninja world.Able to turn over Konoha, no, as long as you can get a partial victory, you can get a lot of benefits through negotiation.

In other words, the current Konoha is facing the possibility of being attacked by five ninja villages at the same time.

Thinking of this possibility, Sarutobi frowned deeply.

He stood up and paced back and forth around his desk, biting his pipe, filling the room with smoke.

"Can you smoke less?"

Sarutobi paused, looked at Danzo who was waving his hands and fanned second-hand smoke, shrugged helplessly, and shook out the leaves from the pipe to extinguish it.

"I don't know when you started smoking when you were talking about things, and when you came across something important, you started smoking. I'm really fed up." Danzo was still complaining.

For this old friend, he has too much dissatisfaction in his heart.

Although he was quite competent for Hokage's position, he felt he could do better and be stronger.

After all, in the current ninja world, Konoha is the leader.

Showing too much kindness will only make more rats stick out their claws.

"I'll pay attention later."

Sarutobi was not dissatisfied with this old friend's complaint, but felt a little nostalgic.

Their relationship has been that way from going to ninja school to becoming teammates.It was not until the two became the leaders of Hokage and Gen, that they gradually became estranged because they were busy with their own affairs.

Danzo noticed the nostalgia on Sarutobi's face, and felt a little bit in his heart, but he didn't show it.

With a calm face as always, he said, "Konoha is now facing a major prehistoric crisis. If one improper operation, it may lead to the destruction of the village."

"You're right." Sarutobi nodded lightly, "We have no chance of winning in one-to-five, we should send messengers to comfort them, and even give them appropriate benefits, before the Sandyin Village takes action. Their desire to attack and then negotiate clouds, rocks, rain, grass to destroy their alliance from within."

"There's nothing wrong with doing this, but how much benefit does it take to make Sayin stop attacking?" Danzo sneered: "It's fine if it's normal, but now we're facing a joint attack from four ninja villages. At that time, Sha Yin sees an opportunity and will definitely not let it go easily."

Sarutobi took a deep breath and sighed: "I understand what you said, but this is the best way I can think of at the moment. Being in a disadvantaged position, I can only divide the benefits."

"That's because you didn't understand the situation in depth." Danzo walked to the desk, took out a map and spread it out, "First of all, the alliance of Yun, Yan, Yu, and Cao Shi Nin Village, they are only united because of their interests. Together, it is by no means unbreakable.”

"That's why I said negotiating to destroy their alliance from within."

"So I said, your method is not wrong, but the order has to be changed. You have to first disintegrate the alliance, and then send an envoy to appease Sand Yin, or at the same time."

Sarutobi was stunned for a while, then stared at the map, unable to see why.

"We have a covenant with Shayin, so we can use this relationship to reach reconciliation through the distribution of interests before the war. But the rest of the four villages..."

"The relationship between them is not harmonious." Danzo said: "Yunyin Village has been improving its armaments since the end of the Second Ninja World War. In terms of military power, I am afraid they are the first in the Ninja World. ."

The strength of a ninja village needs to be judged from the comprehensive aspects of population, economy and military.

Such as Yunyin Village, regardless of the economic burden of the village, to increase its military strength as much as possible cannot be sustained for a long time.

The final result can only be self-destruction.

But the famous name of the Kingdom of Thunder trusts Yunyin Village very much. Every year, a large amount of military spending that exceeds the budget is approved, which creates a deformed monster like Yunyin Village.

"Yunyin Village is different from our Konoha. They not only have strong military power, but also have a strong desire to attack. They are deeply feared by the surrounding countries. Compared with our Konoha, Yanyin, Yuyin, and Kuoyin should be more afraid of Yunyin Village. "

"That's true." Sarutobi pondered slightly, "In this case, even if they reach an alliance, they won't trust each other, not to mention they have failed once. Taking advantage of the fear of Yunyin in various Ninja villages, there is a high probability that they will be able to trust each other. Be the first to complete the disintegration of the coalition forces."
