Chapter 404 The new target of Iwa Ninja Village!
Shikaku twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, choosing to look at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.
Because this topic is not something he can pick up casually, as it will involve the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage has a strong desire to control the affairs of the village, and he will restrain himself from all matters, big or small, and deal with them one by one.
This tradition is now carried on.
Shikaku didn't dare to answer because he couldn't be sure whether Yan was complaining to the Third Hokage or just because he had many things to do and was tired from work.
Putting down his hand, Yan said to Shikaku, who looked serious:
"Relax, I'm here to see you today. I'm just chatting, nothing official. By the way, have you eaten?"
"????"
Someone from the ANBU was sent to inform me and asked me to rush to the Hokage's office building, which made me panic.
But you told me that it was just for chatting, not for official business?
I have a saying about MMP, but I don’t know whether to say it or not.
Shikaku had a constipated expression on his face.
"Hahaha........"
Yan laughed directly, patted his shoulder, and motioned for him to follow him.
Shikaku was speechless, but he had no choice but to follow Hiko out of the Hokage's office building, and the two of them walked slowly to the river in the village.
Stopping by the river, Yan motioned to the ANBU people to take out all the things he had prepared.
Watching the ANBU ninja skillfully open the seal scroll and take out some bottles and cans, as well as a freshly pickled beef leg, his eyelids suddenly jumped a few times.
Are you planning to have a serious meal here?
Is it really appropriate to do this during work?
My lord, you just skipped work yesterday and are you starting to mess up today?
Depressed, Shikaku went to collect firewood and lit it.
Yan put the dressed beef shank on the rack and started roasting it.
Taking advantage of the time of applying oil, Yan turned his head:
"I plan to take you to the border tomorrow to meet the Raikage."
"My lord, what you mean is that the village is very likely to be involved. No, is it to participate in the war, or to actively participate?"
"right."
It's easy to talk to smart people. With just a little prompting, the other person will be able to follow what you want to say and you won't need to waste your time explaining too much.
Putting the brush away, Yan sat cross-legged:
"The Raikage secretly sent people to the village at this time. He wanted to meet with me. It was not public. I think it has explained a lot of problems. He should be eyeing the Iwa Ninja Village."
Among the five great ninja villages, Raikage has the worst temper and the most vengeful one.
If he hadn't been too vengeful, it wouldn't have been so easy for the five major ninja villages to unite in the original work, because there would have been a lack of people to take the lead.
Konoha could take the lead, but Konoha didn't have enough authority at that time.
In this case, things are really serious.
Shikaku frowned and thought.
Yan motioned to the ANBU people to take care of the fire, then turned around and continued:
"The Raikage's revenge is very strong, no worse than mine. The death of the Third Raikage has always left a sharp thorn in his heart.
If it weren't for the village, if he wasn't absolutely sure, he might have attacked the Iwa Ninja Village long ago. "
"In fact, during the Third Ninja War, Iwa Ninja Village ended the war so happily. In addition to the lack of resources in the village, it was also worried about being attacked by Kumo Ninja Village."
Konoha's publicity to the outside world was that Minato killed the Iwa Ninja Village and trembled. In addition, the bridge was blown up, forcing the Iwa Ninja Village to choose to end the war.
In fact... Minato is very strong, and the bridge on the main route for transporting supplies was blown up. Wouldn't the Iwa Ninja Village change the route?
To put it bluntly, Ohnoki didn't want to continue fighting.
Because there is a risk of your home being robbed.
Compared to Minato, and compared to the routes for transporting supplies, the Iwa Ninja Village, which may directly invade the territory of the Earth Country at any time, is the most terrifying.
Shikaku nodded slowly without saying anything in reply.
Although he and Minato were good friends, he had to admit that the village's propaganda was completely different from the reason why the Iwa Ninja Village actually gave up the war.
The supply route is cut off and can be transported by another route. Minato is very strong and kills many people, but Iwa Ninja Village is not a vegetarian.
In comparison, the threat from Yun Ninja Village is the most deadly.
There are some problems that can be seen from the war negotiations. The Iwa Ninja Village does not give Konoha any face at all.
Even war compensation was nothing.
On the surface, the Third Hokage gave up on his own initiative, but in fact, the Iwa Ninja Village would not give it at all.
Giving up voluntarily was just a forced choice to save the face of the village.
"Now the economic information of Iwa Ninja Village is in danger, and we have taken precautions in advance and sent people to guard the border, not giving Iwa Ninja Village a chance.
When the pressure in the village accumulates to a certain level, the senior leaders of Onoki and Iwanin Village will have to choose to transfer the pressure away through war. "
"Under the premise that they cannot attack the Country of Fire, Iwa Ninja Village can only passively change targets."
"So, what Auxiliary-sama means is that the Iwa Ninja Village may attack the surrounding small countries?"
Shikaku picked up the wooden stick and simply drew the maps of the three great countries of Fire, Earth and Thunder on the ground.
In the marginal areas of the three major countries, the map shapes of various small countries are outlined.
"Iwa Ninja Village will launch a war, and the Fire Country is undoubtedly the first choice, because the Fire Country is rich, and as long as we can break into the Fire Country and plunder, it will be enough to solve the current problems of the Iwa Ninja Village.
But the Kingdom of Fire cannot be fought, and the Kingdom of Thunder is even more difficult, so..."
Shikaku's eyes moved around several small countries, and finally stopped.
The country of Taki!
Other small countries are either in chaos and cannot protect themselves.
Even with a little bit of capital, the resources cannot satisfy the appetite of the Iwa Ninja Village.
Therefore, the country of Taki is the best choice target for Iwa Ninja Village.
First of all, this country has a special geographical location, and secondly, the land of Taki Country is relatively rich.
Although it is not as good as Konoha, at least it is considered good among many small countries.
It can be seen from the purchase of a tailed beast in the country of Taki that the country's wealth is still considerable.
Most importantly, there is a tailed beast in Taki Ninja Village.
Now that a war has been launched, who the hell still cares about the previous rules of the ninja world?
Just hit it and that's it!
While skimming the resources, maybe if you are lucky, you can catch Nanao and take him to the Iwa Ninja Village.
Yan glanced at the simple map on the ground and smiled slightly:
"The country of Taki has a special geographical location. The three ninja wars have not affected this country. In addition, this country has a large population and rich land. It must have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. As long as we win the country of Taki, we will be able to It can calm the conflicts within the Iwa Ninja Village."
"But......."
Lu Jiu wanted to speak but stopped.
The five major countries cannot attack a small country casually. This is the common agreement of the five major ninja villages.
"The village is about to explode, who cares?"
Yan laughed:
"Besides, if I were Ohnoki, I would directly capture Taki Country as quickly as possible, break through Taki Ninja Village, and take away all the resources and wealth of Taki Country.
As long as the land of Taki Country is not invaded, even if other villages have objections, they will not be too rigid. "
"Furthermore, the pressure on the village has been relieved, and the Iwa Ninja Village will not be afraid of a new war. This is to feed war with war!"
