Volume 1 Chapter 372 Ohnoki: You can enter, but there is no need to unite
After the war with the Mist Village, Konoha will be weak for a period of time at most.
But if we add the Sand Village, that won’t work.
Even if Konoha can win, it will be a pyrrhic victory.
At this time, the Iwagakure suddenly attacked, and Konoha was unable to stop it.
"I'm afraid they want to drag us into the fight and distract Konoha's energy and manpower. These two villages have bad intentions. I... Ouch."
Huang Tu let out a strange cry and squatted on the ground, covering his head.
Even when he was squatting, he was basically the same height as Ōnoki who was sitting on the chair.
"You are such an idiot. You really make me angry. If you were more motivated, I would have retired long ago."
Ohnoki cursed angrily.
"Forget it. I already knew I couldn't rely on you. I don't know when my old bones will get some rest."
Even though Oonoki has been insisting on doing this for decades, he has to do it.
Because I haven't found a suitable successor yet.
His son Huang Tu, whom he had high hopes for, turned out to be a piece of mud. His strength was just barely passable, but his brain was not very bright.
This forced Ohnoki to continue to persevere and look for a suitable candidate.
"hey-hey."
Facing his father's accusations, Huang Tu smiled and scratched his head.
He knows his own strengths and weaknesses. If you ask him to fight, he will do it without hesitation.
But asking him to become a Tsuchikage would simply be putting him in a difficult position.
Instead of spending time worrying about becoming a Tsuchikage, he might as well go home more often to spend time with his lovely daughter.
You are laughing at the hammer!!
Rolling his eyes, Ohnoki really had no idea what to do with his son.
He sighed and changed the subject.
"You are right. The Mist Village and the Sand Village do have bad intentions, but don't you think this is a good opportunity?"
The military strength of the Iwagakure ranks third among the five major ninja villages, second only to the Kumogakure and Konoha, but compared with other aspects, the Iwagakure immediately falls behind.
"Then do we need to respond to the Sand Village?"
"unnecessary."
With a snort, Ohnoki said disdainfully:
"They don't deserve it! Let them fight, and when they're almost done, we'll enter."
Even if they want to attack Konoha or the Land of Fire, the Iwagakure will never unite with the Sand Village and the Mist Village.
He looked down upon the Third Kazekage's wealth, especially the Sand Village which had just experienced the Second Ninja World War a few years ago.
As for the Mist Village, they have enough trouble dealing with just one psychotic Mizukage, and they still want to make allies?
Such an ally can kill you if you are not careful.
It’s better for you to play by yourself. You play yours and I play mine.
"loess."
"Father."
Huang Tu bowed his head respectfully and looked at Ōnoki.
Ohnoki jumped down from the chair, put his hands behind his back, and said as he walked:
"I need to stay in the Land of Earth and guard against the attacks of the Kumogakure and the Third Raikage. I can only rely on you to fight the war with Konoha."
Compared to others, Ōnoki trusts his son Huangtu more.
Besides, Huang Tu is just not very smart when it comes to government affairs, and he is also a person who fears trouble.
But if he really goes to war, he is a good fighter and deserves to be entrusted with important tasks.
"Huang Tu will definitely not disappoint father."
"Asshole, how many times have I told you to call me Tsuchikage-sama here!! You asshole!!!"
"Ah, yes, yes."
In a hidden forest dozens of miles away from the border of the Land of Fire, Chitsuki, Hatake Sakumo, and Nara Shikako were sitting together.
Looking at the two people who looked at their noses and their hearts as if it was none of their business, Qianyue smiled on her face but thought MMP in her heart.
You two old guys have done enough. You are shirking responsibility to such an extent! !
Qianyue was very tired, he wanted to return to Konoha and tell Tsunade that he quit! !
"Sir, the enemy did not force their way into our Fire Nation's territory. Instead, they chose to occupy the border outposts and build camps on the spot. Our people have already collided with the enemy's patrols, and we have also discovered many traps set by the enemy around us."
Three bosses, what should we do next? Please at least say something.
Sarutobi Shi looked at the three people sitting together in silence, and his head hurt even more. What on earth was the Hokage thinking to bring these three people together?
A village hero once made countless contributions, but he was disheartened by certain actions of higher-ups and clamored to retire.
After finally getting out of the mountain, I don't care about anything else and just want to quietly be a team-leading jonin.
One is an old senior, but after being asked to leave the mountain, this old senior completely ignored everything.
He was afraid that he and his family would be caught in the vortex of high-level power.
There is also a little kid who is clinging to the thigh of the Konoha princess, but he is incredibly strong.
What kind of magical combination is this?
I'm asking you, what are you doing?
Hatake Sakumo looked at Chitsuki, and Nara Shikashin smiled, but had no intention of speaking first.
I admire you.
Qianyue was speechless and complained about the two of them in her heart.
"Were the surrounding villages not attacked and looted by the enemy?"
This is not something the Sand Village would do.
You have to know that in the last war, the ninjas from the Sand Village caused chaos in the territory of the Land of Fire.
The losses at that time were terrible, and the Sand Village was poor, so plundering supplies was what they liked to do.
Once these guys go crazy, not to mention the villages in the Land of Fire, they will even not spare the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Rivers.
"No."
Sarutobi looked serious and shook his head slightly.
He also couldn't understand what the Sand Village was trying to do.
Could it be that he wanted to fight a fair war with Konoha and was unwilling to resort to tricks?
This is not like the character of the Third Kazekage.
Very weird.
Something is wrong too.
"In the last war, the Sand Village took advantage of our Konoha's lack of preparedness and directly invaded the Land of Fire, destroying many villages and looting a lot of material wealth."
Such a contrast made Hatake Sakumo somewhat suspicious as to whether there was something wrong with the Third Kazekage's brain circuit.
Nara Shikashin listened quietly. From the moment the Third Hokage asked him to come out of seclusion and he had no way to refuse, he awakened and started to do more and talk less.
The Nara clan cannot get involved in the battle for the Hokage candidate between Tsunade and Orochimaru.
It is better to leave the stage to young people. An old man like him should not get involved in these things.
Therefore, Nara Shikashin was determined to be only a steward and he didn't care about anything else.
Taking out the map, Qianyue compared the distance between the enemy and us and some basic defenses of the Sand Village, and looked up and said:
"Senior, what do you think the Sand Village is trying to do? Is this a smokescreen, or does the Third Kazekage not dare to attack villages everywhere again?"
Was there any compromise?
Chitsuki began to recall some major events that happened in the Sand Village after the end of the war.
First of all, the Daimyo of Wind Country was very angry because the Sand Village attacked the Daimyo of River Country and plundered supplies, which was rejected and condemned by the daimyos of countries around the world. It is said that the Daimyo of Wind Country was very angry because he had lost face.
In recent years, he has even been unwilling to provide financial support to the Sand Village.
Fortunately, this was only a momentary anger, and the daimyo also knew that without the Sand Village, his life would not be much better. In the end, he came forward to find the daimyo of the Fire Country and helped the Sand Village purchase post-war supplies in his name.
The war had just ended and Konoha itself still needed a large amount of supplies. In addition, the Daimyo of the Fire Country hated the Third Kazekage so much that as long as he was not mentally ill, he would not sell the supplies easily.
There must have been some agreement here.
"It shouldn't be a smoke bomb."
