Saving Uchiha starts with flipping the table

"......."

That makes sense.

Everyone knows the theory of the Thunder Release of the Cloud Village and the Dust Release of the Rock Village, but even if you know it, can you learn it?

Not to mention outsiders, even the Rock Village and the Cloud Village themselves are difficult to deal with.

The Thunder Release is easy to say, the Raikage candidates are qualified to learn it, but it is difficult.

Not to mention the Dust Release, now only Ohnoki can master it.

Let alone getting started with this thing, even if Ohnoki teaches you step by step, you may not be able to learn it.

"I think the Tsuchikage may agree to his request. After all, the current Rock Village... hehe."

Leaving behind a series of pleasant laughter, Terumi Mei and Rasa separated and headed for their residence from other directions.

The Mist Village and the Sand Village are still in peace talks. If Terumi Mei and Rasa return to their residence together, it may cause some small misunderstandings. It is better to go separately.

"Assistant, there are members of the Sand Village and Mist Village envoys who left the village in disguise."

At night, Yan finished his official duties for the day and was resting and drinking tea.

At this time, Shisui and Itachi came to the Hokage's office and reported the news.

"Let them go."

Yan chuckled:

"I knew they had problems. They haven't dealt with their own affairs yet, but they have already targeted the Rock Village. It must be that Ohnoki has contacted them privately, so they came to test my bottom line."

There is a saying that goes, when you use others, shouldn't you also reflect on yourself and ask if others are using you?

Mei Terumi and Rasa are testing Yan's bottom line, and Yan can also use them to contact Ohnoki indirectly.

Yes! This is my condition. If you can agree, then I will represent Konoha to participate in the Five Kage Talks.

If you don't agree, then bye, you can play slowly by yourselves, Konoha will not interfere.

Yan guessed correctly. Ohnoki had already started to contact Mei Terumi and Rasa. Even if it was just a secret contact, it was enough to make Rasa and Mei Terumi pay attention.

The worse the situation of Iwagakure, the more benefits they can get from Iwagakure.

The situation is beyond people's control. Ohnoki must lower his head and hand over the benefits obediently.

Nowadays, Iwagakure and Kumogakure are fighting in Taki Country. There are only three ways to stop the war.

The first is that Iwagakure admits defeat and admits that the war is lost. Unfortunately, Ohnoki will not easily bow to Kumogakure.

Even if a certain price is paid to reconcile the war, it will not be announced that Iwagakure has lost the war.

If the stubborn old man announced that the war was lost, why would he need to contact Rasa and Mei Terumi in private?

Therefore, the first option is not a choice at all.

The second way is to win over the Mist Village and the Sand Village, persuade Konoha, and hold the Five Kage Talks.

The most stable method is to force the Cloud Village to take the lead through the Five Kage Talks and put an end to the war.

If the second path is chosen, the Rock Village will have to pay a heavy price.

As for the third path, it is also simple. Directly win over the Sand Village and the Mist Village, become allies with them, and force the Cloud Village to end the war.

Otherwise, our three villages will unite to fight you.

Even if the Sand Village and the Mist Village are poor, they can still raise a team and gather some supplies to support the Rock Village.

When the Rock Village has enough war supplies and reinforcements, it will not be afraid of fighting the Cloud Village on the battlefield.

Three against one, even if the Mist Village and the Sand Village did not make much effort, it is enough for the Cloud Village to drink a pot.

Except for the first of the three paths, the second and third cannot bypass Konoha.

The convening of the Five Kage Talks requires Konoha's nod, because if Konoha does not nod and participate, the Cloud Village will definitely not pay attention.

You can even turn the tables. If Konoha doesn't participate, what's the point of holding the Five Kage Talks?

By the same token, it's useless for you, the Rock Village, to win over the Mist Village and the Sand Village.

As long as Konoha leans on the Cloud Village, you are no match for three against two.

One side has people, strong men, and resources, while the other side is so poor that it has to scrape together resources.

Before the war even starts, the balance of victory has already tilted, and even a big iron block has been hung on it.

Once Konoha gets involved, will the Sand Village and the Mist Village dare to go to war with Konoha?

I'm afraid their heads will be smashed.

Therefore, Konoha is a hurdle that the Rock Village cannot get around. Unless Ohnoki is willing to bow to the Cloud Village, it can only pay benefits to stabilize Konoha.

No matter what choice is made, Konoha will not lose.

It will only make a lot of money.

Ohnoki needs to give benefits to stabilize Konoha.

Coincidentally, Ai needs to stabilize Konoha as an ally and also needs to give benefits to prevent Konoha from leaning towards the other side.

Even the Cloud Village cannot morallyaccuse Konoha.

Even though they are temporary allies, Konoha will not turn against them openly. As long as they support them secretly, the Cloud Village will be weak.

"This is the essence of war. Why do we have to fight to the death? If others fight, can we take advantage of the opportunity to gain benefits and strengthen ourselves?"

"......."

Nara Shikaku was full of black lines.

It's good, but the problem is that this is the first time that Konoha has had such a good thing. In the past wars, when was Konoha not a victim?

When was it not beaten and screamed?

If you want to sit on the fence and gain benefits, you have to have the ability.

If it were the Third Hokage, Konoha might have been calculated to death, and I don't know which village it is fighting to the death with.

No, it doesn't even have the qualifications to fight to the death.

According to the development of the original work, before the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja World War, Konoha's strength was really weak.

The Third Hokage deserves the most credit for bringing Konoha to this state of desolation.

"Assistant, will Ohnoki choose to lose the war?"

Shikaku thinks this possibility is quite high. Given the current situation of Iwagakure, it is the simplest and most direct to directly declare the war a failure.

"Yes, but the possibility is very small."

Yan analyzed with certainty:

"Do you think that a stubborn old man like Ohnoki is willing to sacrifice a little interest to save the face of the village, or sacrifice interest and lose face?"

Directly surrendering and declaring the war a failure is very decisive. The problem is that if you declare the war a failure, you also have to pay war compensation to the victorious party. Not only do you have to compensate the Cloud Village, but you also have to pay the share of the Takigakure Village.

The most important thing is that you have lost face, and you have lost everything.

It also costs a lot, so why doesn't Ohnoki choose to continue to insist?

It costs a price to win over the Mist Village and the Sand Village, and it also costs a price to win over Konoha.

The problem is that it costs a price to win over others to help you, and it also costs a price to declare the war a failure.

The former can save the face of myself and the village.

In this case, why should I lose face?

Is the appetite of the Kumogakure Village so small?
