Chapter 288: Omen of War
With the Third Tsuchikage officially issuing the order to expel them, Tsunade and her team's mission this time was a complete failure. Not only did they fail to make friends with the Iwagakure Village, but the relationship between the two major ninja villages became even more tense.
After leaving the Land of Earth, I killed a group of ignorant wild wolves on the way.
When the three people and the pig gathered around the fire to eat roasted wolf legs, Tsunade wiped the grease from her mouth and said angrily: "Ohnoki is such an old fool, he is too stubborn. He can't even see through the enemy's simple conspiracy. Sigh! I think the war is getting closer and closer to us!"
Shizune and Tuntun looked worried, and Ino also looked panicked. In fact, she had the same guess as Tsunade.
The military strength of Iwagakure Village is extremely strong. The village reached its peak under the Third Tsuchikage. Should he retire peacefully and hand over power to the younger generation? No! He has been suppressing the strength and wisdom of Huang Tu, who is considered first-class. Seeing that he is almost 80 years old, why is he reluctant to abdicate? It's just fame and fortune. He doesn't need profit, but fame. The Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki just wants to push Iwagakure Village to a higher position during his tenure.
The title of Overlord of the Ninja World is pretty good!
The Iwagakure Village, the Kirigakure Village, and the Kumogakure Village have fought against each other during the war years, but at this stage, the three parties are not actually bordering each other.
If they want to attack the Hidden Cloud Village, but don't want to cross the North Sea, they must pass through a large area including the Rain Country, the Grass Country, the Soup Country, the Fire Country, the Frost Country, etc. If they don't destroy seven or eight countries, the two sides will not even be bordering each other.
The same goes for the Hidden Mist Village. One is at the far east, and the other is at the far west, separated by half a world.
The geographical location of the Iwagakure Village determines that they only have two enemies, one is the Sand Village in the southern desert, and the other is the Konoha Village in the plain area in the southeast.
Which side will bring the most profit? This is self-evident.
The Iwagakure Village is generally hostile to the Konoha Village. This has both historical and practical reasons.
In the Iwagakure Village, the Konoha ninjas have a very bad reputation. They are repeatedly labeled as "lying", "cunning", "sinister", and "having ulterior motives".
There were rebellions in Konoha every other day. As the saying goes, "Whether the ninja world is in chaos or not, Konoha has the final say." From the beginning to the end, the Third Tsuchikage always believed that Konoha was a threat to the Iwagakure Village, and defeating Konoha was almost his lifelong wish.
Whenever something has to do with Konoha, no matter if it's reasonable or not, he will be tough to the end.
If there is no opportunity, create one. Now that there is an opportunity, he certainly won't let it go.
Without Naruto and Sasuke at the Six Paths level, and without the power of the First Hokage to overwhelm his contemporaries, the Third Tsuchikage only needed to persuade the Daimyo of the Land of Earth and obtain support in terms of military funds and supplies, and a great war would soon begin.
Three days later, Tsunade's team returned to the village to hand in their mission, and the mission to contact the Iwagakure Village was considered a failure.
Victory and defeat are common in the military, and failing a mission once is nothing.
Jiraiya didn't say anything, but instead said a few words of comfort.
Naruto was shouting and yelling that he wanted to avenge Ino. Jiraiya told him to study geography first and figure out where the Land of Earth was before talking about revenge.
Ino didn't feel depressed at all. If she really had to use any means necessary, she could kill Huang Tu. Even if she fell out with the Iwagakure Village, the three of them could still break out with Tun Tun.
The reason why they were expelled in a somewhat shameful manner was because of the relationship between the two villages.
Huang Tu's attitude is generally friendly to Konoha. Any damage to Huang Tu's reputation will not have any real benefits except allowing the Third Tsuchikage to serve as Kage for two more years.
What's the big deal? She didn't take it seriously, and her friend was killed.
This battle was different from the battle with the wood man which was required to be kept secret. Many ninjas watched this battle at the time, so it can be told about.
All in all, Ino was not at a disadvantage in the battle with Huangtu, and the two ended up in a draw.
Who is Huang Tu? He is the son of the Third Tsuchikage. During the Ninja World War, the Third Tsuchikage was in charge of the village. He was the frontline commander of the Iwagakure Village and had fought against Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze for a long time. If it weren't for special circumstances, he would have been the Fourth Tsuchikage long ago.
It is not shameful for Ino to beat a person like Ping. On the contrary, her fame has skyrocketed. In the gold exchange, her bounty has directly increased to 35 million taels, the same as Asuma. The younger generation is suffering from internal competition. When parents talk about it, they always say "Look at the children of the Yamanaka family". They only know how to sleep and eat at home? They should all be trained!
They were under tremendous pressure for this.
People outside the village were also involved, and several of Ino's former opponents were brought up. Chojuro and Gaara needed fame very much, and now that her reputation was rising, the reputation of Chojuro and Gaara was also raised.
There are rumors in the Sand Village that Gaara and Ino are evenly matched. Now Ino has tied with the old senior Huang Tu. Does that mean that if Gaara fights Huang Tu, the result will not be much different? Awesome, our Kazekage! Ino's reputation has been "touched" by force.
The next day, the Twelve Young Warriors of Konoha gathered at Master Shikamaru's Curry House to eat curry rice.
Ningji can't eat spicy food. After taking a mouthful of rice, his face turned red and his eyes were about to turn red. Tenten hurriedly poured him some water.
Sasuke, Shino, Sakura and the others were also fed up with the spiciness, but they heard that the curry rice at the Curry House of Life could slightly increase chakra, so they all ate it voraciously.
Hinata knelt down to eat in a rather ladylike posture, with small movements, fast frequency, and was particularly concealed.
In order to divert the attention of several people, Hinata pulled out Ino to attract hatred: "Ino, did you really defeat that senior called Huangtu?"
This matter spread throughout the "circle", especially the Sand Village and the Mist Village used her fame to enhance their own reputation, which made Ino very unhappy.
At this time, she said in a very Versailles way: "How could that be possible? Senior Huangtu and I only fought for more than 300 rounds, right? From morning to night, I really couldn't stand it anymore, I was too hungry. Senior Huangtu was very tall and strong, and his earth escape technique was particularly good at restraining my water escape technique."
First he boasted about three hundred rounds, but that was all nonsense.
When she talked about the specific ninjutsu and taijutsu confrontations, Neji, Rock Lee, Shikamaru, and Sasuke began to listen carefully, not wanting to miss any details.
"Are all the ninjas from the Hidden Rock Village good at earth escape techniques?" Sasuke couldn't help but ask.
Ino nodded: "Almost the same, yellow earth, red earth, black earth. Black earth doesn't count, she has the bloodline limit of lava escape, and the rest of the ninjas almost all use earth escape."
Sasuke seemed to be thinking about something. He had no grudge against the Iwagakure Village, but now the relationship between the two sides had suddenly become extremely tense. Kakashi had told him about this.
