To say that the person within Konoha who is most fearful of the murder of conservatives is Orochimaru.
After learning about this, Orochimaru's first reaction was to flee the village.
However, due to the imposition of martial law by the police department and patrol forces, his own mansion has also become the focus of attention. In addition, due to various hints from Ryūchi Cave White Snake Sennin, Orochimaru restrained the urge to rebel against the village and flee. .
Fortunately, martial law was lifted within a few days.
But Orochimaru also discovered that the ninja world really has nowhere to go...
Although the newly established anti-terrorism force is based in Takino Country, according to the bill announced by the House of Representatives, Frost Country and Tian Country are also included in its operational scope.
The Kingdom of Tian is the hiding place that Orochimaru planned before to rebel against the village.
From a geographical point of view, Tian Country, as a small country with relatively independent power, is actually a good place to go. Moreover, except for Lang Ninja and a few old ninja clans that have declined to the extreme, there are no ninja villages in the country.
Therefore, even after the "peacekeeping operation" to conquer Kumogakure, Konoha brought Tian Country into its sphere of influence, and only set up a mission reception center in the Damingfu within its territory. It didn't take long for the ninja troops stationed in the Fire Gate Shogunate to Without oil or water, he retreated to the country of grass.
Moreover, Tian Country also has an advantage in that it can easily get in touch with Sarutobi, Shimura and other former Hokage ninjas who were exiled to the southern occupied area of Thunder Country to serve as "thieves' auxiliary troops", so that they can act more conveniently.
But the establishment of the anti-terrorism force completely eliminated this possibility.
Although this new ninja army is not an elite Uchiha ninja army in the traditional sense in terms of personnel composition, and although the anti-terrorism force is not suitable for a ninja war in the traditional sense in terms of combat structure; but the reconnaissance force in the anti-terrorism force The number of ninjas is surprisingly high.
In addition to the sixty white-eyed ninjas from the Hyuga branch, two ninja clans, Aburame and Inuzuka, who are good at reconnaissance and tracking, have also been recruited into the army. In addition, ninjas with sensory expertise recruited from civilian ninjas can fight against terrorism. The unit's inspection capabilities exceed those of any standing ninja army in the ninja world.
In this regard, Uchiha Tokumitsu also explained in the House of Representatives.
"The anti-terrorist force was established to combat the infringement of the order of the shinobi world by Jiraiya and Mt. Myoboku terrorist forces, so it is normal to strengthen the reconnaissance force."
But regarding Uchiha Tokumitsu's speech, Orochimaru would have almost believed it if it weren't for the fact that a group of Uchiha ninjas were often blatantly watching at his door.
"Conspiracy! It must be a conspiracy!"
Orochimaru felt like a bug sealed in amber, so tightly imprisoned that he could hardly breathe.
…
Although in public, Onoki, the third generation of Iwagakure's Tsuchikage, has always expressed his support for the anti-terrorism actions advocated by Uchiha Tokumitsu, privately he pays close attention to every move of the Fire Gate shogunate stationed in the Land of Grass.
This was especially true after the Ninja Army led by the Fire Gate Shogunate and Uchiha Shiina forced Taki Ninja to raise the white flag.
During Iwagakure's strategic deduction, he thought that this would be another expansion of the Fire Gate Shogunate, and when he was thankful that the strength of the Fire Gate Shogunate's ninja army occupying the Land of Grass would be dispersed, the newly formed Konoha Anti-Terrorist Force and The war zone planning quickly spread to Iwagakure as the anti-terrorism bill passed the Konoha House of Representatives and Senate.
…
"Bullying! This is naked bullying!"
In the Tsuchikage office, Onoki was so angry that he threw several cups in front of the Iwagakure executives.
He simply did not believe Uchiha Tokumitsu's claim that the new ninja army was only used for anti-terrorism purposes.
Besides, there is no precedent in the ninja world of organizing a ninja army of thousands of people to pursue a traitorous ninja!
And this ninja army also has a fixed war zone station!
Jiraiya and Myobokuyama must hide in small countries such as Takino Country, right? Otherwise, why set up a war zone like this!
"Father..."
Onoki's eldest son Huangtu stepped forward to say something.
"Shut up!"
Onoki glared at him angrily: "You must address your duties during working hours!"
"Lord Tsuchikage..."
Loess changed his tune obediently.
"explain!"
Onoki said angrily.
"We can also organize a new standing ninja army, and even join the three central countries' war on terrorism led by Uchiha Tokumitsu..."
"What nonsense are you talking about! Are you..."
Onoki immediately cursed, and then seemed to realize something.
"The Kingdom of Frost..."
Loess reminded, "No matter what happens, we can use this to enter the southern part of the Kingdom of Frost openly..."
After the "peacekeeping operation" ended, the Frost Country was occupied by the Konoha and Iwagakure divisions, with Iwagakure occupying the northern region of the Frost Country and controlling the Frost Ninja Village.
But just the northern part of the Kingdom of Frost is not enough. Iwagakure Village, which finally gained control of territory outside the Kingdom of Earth, wants more.
However, when one of the original allies, Taki-nin, was easily conquered by the Uchiha clan, even the land passage between Iwagakure and Kumogakure was cut off by Konoha. If Taki-nin's martial arts faction had not left the village and headed north to create a The so-called "Kitataki Ninja Village" barely maintained the situation, and Onoki was probably going crazy with panic.
"Anti-terrorism..."
Ohnoki was pacing back and forth, having a hard time making a decision.
Although it seemed a bit over the top, Onoki still had to think carefully.
Now that the main force of Iwagakure is being dragged on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind, the war with Sunagakure will be indecisive for a while. In addition, the rain ninja army of Hanzo Sanshouyu is still watching with eager eyes in the Kingdom of Tori. Iwagakure has already I can't muster much strength.
If registered ninjas were drawn from the villages to form a standing ninja army, Iwagakure's economy would be in serious trouble.
After all, Iwagakure does not have a joint company as a supplement. The main source of income for ninjas still comes from mission commissions, and the income of Ninja Village mainly relies on daimyo allocations and mission commissions. Once a large number of ninjas are transferred out of work, Iwagakure's economic bankruptcy will be sooner or later. thing.
"Lord Tsuchikage... please withdraw your troops from the Kingdom of Wind! There is no point in continuing the fight with Sunagakure."
With the gazes and silent encouragement from other senior officials, Huang Tu said bravely again.
"You are so brave..."
Onoki, who was already extremely irritable, suddenly became furious, but in a blink of an eye, all the senior officials were nodding in agreement with what Huang Tu said, and he could no longer curse.
"The war with Sunagakure has brought no gains at all. Instead, the young men in the village suffered heavy casualties. We can't continue like this..."
An Iwagakure jounin spoke up.
"Throwing the Ninja Army into the desert without taking care of the rear not only puts the Ninja Army in danger, but also makes it unable to curb the wanton expansion of the Uchiha clan. In this way, the interests of the village will suffer greater losses..."
"A mere Rain Ninja Village dares to peek at Iwagakure's flank. We must withdraw our troops from the Land of Wind and strike hard at Sansho Hanzo!"
"Choosing to give up supporting Taki-nin because the village is empty is a complete mistake!"
An Iwagakure elder paused his cane and directly pointed out Ohnoki's decision-making error.
Suddenly, Onoki's old face turned red with anger.
But he felt that something was wrong.
Iwagakure Ninja Village, which has always emphasized and admired the "Will of Stone", it is impossible for both the grassroots ninjas and the senior officials to accuse the Shadow of One Village so intensively!
Could it be...
He set his sights on his eldest son, Huang Tu.
Although Huangtu's expression was a little flinching, he still kept looking at his father and Tsuchikage.
If my guess is true, then the attitude of Iwagakure's senior officials is not surprising...
Onoki secretly sighed in his heart, but it was somewhat comforting.
As children grow up, they learn to reach out for what they want...
"Are you in a hurry?"
Onoki asked calmly.
"I'm not in a hurry, but the village is."
Huang Tu immediately said: "Now the ninja world is facing a major change that has not been seen since the Warring States Period. If we don't respond in time..."
"From now on, you will be the village's auxiliary jounin and the jounin squad leader!"
Ohnoki interrupted the eldest son and directly stated his decision.
"Are you satisfied with this?"
With a cold face, Onoki looked around at all the senior officials present, and everyone he looked at lowered their heads.
Only Luo Tu, the last hint of shrinkage on his face had faded away. At this time, his face was full of determination, and he looked at his old father without flinching.
"I am doing it for the village..."
"What Uchiha Tokko can do, I can do too..."
From being the eldest son of the Tsuchikage in name only to becoming Iwagakure's assistant and leader of the Jonin squad, Lootchi, who was suddenly in control, was filled with excitement and full of expectations for the future.
He can't wait to fight Uchiha Tokimitsu, who "bullies" Iwagakure and embezzles Taki-nin!
