On April 28, the second year of the Renewal, the Kazekage Yekura announced the "last will" of the Wind King, abolishing the monarchy, joining the Renewal Federation, and supporting the Federation's policies. The remnants of the former Wind Country nobles and the remaining guardian ninjas, and about a thousand Sand Ninjas in the Sand Village defected, elected an exiled Wind King, and sought refuge in the Fire Country...
After the return of most of the Sand Ninjas on the mission, they supported Yekura's resolution. So far, in addition to the northern headquarters, the Renewal Federation has two major branches in the southeast and southwest of the overseas, forming a horn-shaped situation, and its momentum has soared, shocking the ninja world. On
May 1, a full month after the collective defection of the Konoha Hyuga clan, the three major countries of earth, fire, and thunder, as well as the exiled monarch of the Wind Country, the remaining countries of the Water Country, and 47 affiliated countries, announced a formal alliance and declared war on the Renewal Federation.
On the same day, the Renewal Federation declared war on all organizations and individuals that "hindered the popularization of chakra" and "deprived everyone of the power given by the Six Paths Sage."
The Fourth Ninja World War broke out!
The "Organization that Brings Smiles with Chakra" in all countries of the Ninja World, referred to as the "Chakra Brings Smiles Organization", publicly announced that it would join the Renewal Federation and accept the Federation's funding and unified command...
In the first half of the war, all countries took a defensive stance against the attack on the Federation headquarters. The main focus of the Fire Country and the Earth Country was to attack the former Wind Country's territory behind them, which is the so-called "helping the exiled monarch of the Wind Country to restore the country."
The seven or eight thousand Sand Ninjas under Ye Cang first formed a defense army on their own, but it goes without saying that there could be no traitors among them, and it is impossible to distinguish them one by one!
Tsunade directly opened the "Castle in the Sky" to the former Wind Country, and with the assistance of the air combat force, she blocked the attack of the Fire and Earth Countries.
Guan Liyuan did not use the territory of the former Wind Country as an abandoned place to transfer the damage of the war as promised. While continuing to put pressure on the Fire Country and the Earth Country, he also actively opened up the "Grass Country-Rain Country-Wind Country" channel.
Under the strong persuasion of the Fire and Earth Kingdoms, the Lightning Kingdom temporarily suppressed its hatred towards the Federation headquarters and focused its main energy on helping the remaining countries of the Water Kingdom to counterattack the "overseas branches"...
For this reason, Bai has already opened the Ice Palace to the sea east of the Lightning Kingdom to ensure that the "Snow Combat Force" can reinforce the overseas branch battlefields, and also give priority to assisting the "Cha Dai Xiao Organization" in overseas countries to maintain the "universalization of chakra". The
two major battlefields, one in the east and one in the west, all show that the "Alliance" is more inclined to chop off the left and right hands of the "Federation" first!
However, what was beyond the expectations of the "Ninja Alliance" was that the Rain Kingdom, which had once plunged the three major countries into a quagmire, was actually pushed by the "Federation" within half a month, and the "Akatsuki Organization" in the shadows almost surrendered and was directly incorporated by the "Renewal Federation"...
It even made the "Alliance" wonder if the Akatsuki Organization is also a kind of Cha Dai Xiao Organization?
In this way, the territory from the northern headquarters of the Federation to the southwest of the Original Wind Country is completely connected. Although the battle line is a bit long, compared with the initial independent battle, the situation is obviously beginning to lean towards the Federation
. Moreover, in the front battlefield, although both sides have a mixed victory and defeat, the "Cha Daixiao Organization" has made continuous gains in many small countries, especially in the southwestern countries. Almost every other day, or even every day, there will be news that a neutral small country has joined the Federation, or a small country in the alliance has been seized by the "Cha Daixiao Organization"...
Although the impact is not great for the time being, all aspects... all express that the situation is leaning towards the "Update Federation"!
Unfortunately, the "Alliance" has no good solution for this. After the previous accumulation, the "Federation" has relied on the new tactics of all-round three-dimensional strikes to single out the major countries of the Alliance in the frontal confrontation without losing the upper hand.
The "Cha Daixiao Organization" did not involve too many main forces of the "Federation". At this time, if the "Alliance" first went down in the battlefields of these countries, the front battlefield would be in danger of collapse!
And just a few days later, when the time came to late May, the situation changed again...
The White Zetsu Army led by the self-proclaimed "Uchiha Madara" rose in the western part of the Land of Earth. Within a few days, the Land of Earth, which had almost all its energy focused on the eastern and southern parts, was completely occupied in the western part. At the same time,
because of the high degree of openness, the southeastern countries that were not greatly affected by the "Cha Daixiao Organization" were also ravaged by another group of White Zetsu Army led by a group that claimed to be "the glory of the Uchiha clan, Shin".
What Guan Liyuan did not expect was that at the same time, the "Iron Country", located at the northernmost end of the continent and bordering the Federation and the Land of Lightning, suddenly joined the war and announced an alliance with "Uchiha Madara" and "Uchiha Shin". After a large-scale battle between the Federation and the Land of Lightning, it used a sneak attack to become a fisherman...
Because the "Iron Country" has always been a neutral country, although the Alliance regretted not getting its membership, it did not rashly involve it in the war. As for the Federation... Because the "Iron Country" itself supports "Chakra for all", it is not in the target of the declaration of war!
The culture of the Iron Country is different from that of most countries in the Ninja World. Chakra practitioners in the country are called "samurai" and the leaders are called "generals". Unlike "ninjas", "samurai" in the Iron Country itself belongs to the nobility, and civilians are encouraged to join the ranks of nobility by becoming "samurai" - Guan Liyuan once believed that after winning the Fourth Ninja World War, he could use a softer way to persuade the "Iron Country" to join the Federation.
The entry of the Iron Country and its position caught Guan Liyuan off guard...
So far, one month after the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja World War, the three major warring parties have all appeared!
At present, the most advantageous party is still the "Ninja World Alliance" in terms of population, land, and number of combat units.
Although the Wind Country and the Water Country have been abolished and disabled, the five major countries in the past have joined forces and have formed an alliance of more than 40... Oh, there are still more than 30 small countries left, and they can still gather 70,000 to 80,000 ninja coalition forces, and the actual controlled land and population are more than the Renewal Federation.
But everyone can see that this advantage has not been reflected on the battlefield, but has been constantly offset. The Renewal Federation owns the northern and southwestern parts of the continent, and remotely controls overseas branches. The "Cha Daixiao Organization" radiates to various countries. The new army has 30,000 troops, and the original Mist and Sand Ninjas have 20,000...
The new army completely outperforms the same number of ninjas in large-scale battles. In terms of top-level combat power, the Federation has an absolute advantage and is in high spirits.
If it weren't for the appearance of a third party, it could even be a song of "coolness" for the "Ninja Alliance".
The third party that emerged was Obito's "White Zetsu Corps". As for "Uchiha Madara"... Guan Liyuan didn't know whether he was really resurrected, or was brought out by the Impure World, or just borrowed a name. After all, Nagato had been taken away by Obito, so everything is possible.
Currently, the total number of White Zetsu troops exposed is 30,000, with 10,000 in the western part of the Land of Earth, 10,000 in the southeastern countries, and 10,000 in the Land of Iron. The smallest number, but the weakest is equivalent to a Chunin, plus thousands of Iron Country samurai. The "Federation" also suffered a loss on the battlefield in the east with the Land of Lightning. The Federation Army, Konoha, and Kirigakure suffered even greater losses on the southeastern overseas battlefield, and the Land of Earth, which was "stolen" was even more shaky...
Guan Liyuan was not sure whether there were more White Zetsu troops. Although there were 100,000 White Zetsu in the original work, what was the success rate of transforming them into copycat Samsara Eye White Zetsu? Have all the transformations been completed? Guan Liyuan didn't know these. He could only say "at most 100,000", but it was unlikely that there were so many, otherwise they could have been released.
"It will be very difficult for the Land of Earth to survive the first half of the year at this rate. Are you still unwilling to cooperate with me?" Guan Liyuan said to Kurotsuchi who was under house arrest.
Now that the "One-Tailed Shukaku" has also been successfully contracted, ignoring the conflict between Shukaku and Sadaharu, it can be said that everything is going well, but the last Five-Tailed will not come out!
Guan Liyuan urgently hopes that he can reach some consensus with the Rock Ninja through Kurotsuchi, so that he can get the "Ten-Tailed" out first.
A month ago, when Guan Liyuan first proposed cooperation, Kurotsuchi refused decisively with full vigilance, but now the situation in the Land of Earth is completely different from a month ago...
