Good things don't go out for three years, but bad things spread thousands of miles in one day!
Especially in this ninja world that focuses on intelligence analysis and collection, the news that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Jhin defected to Konoha after having a falling out spread throughout the entire ninja world in a very short period of time under the covert promotion of multiple forces. boundary.
For the Cloud Ninja Village, which is currently at war with Konoha, this is simply the most exciting news in this period of time. A group of Cloud Ninjas who are a little exhausted on the front line have also swept away their past dejection.
Only God knows what they have been through during this time!
Since the outbreak of the First Ninja War, Cloud Ninja Village has always been proactive and even had the confidence to initiate the Third Ninja War.
Even if it were not for the trap set up by Iwagakure Village, the Third Raikage was left alone to protect his companions. He fought against tens of thousands of ninjas in Iwagakure Village by himself, and finally died of exhaustion after fighting hard for three days and three nights. Death, there is still no telling what the situation in the ninja world will be like at this moment.
It is precisely because of this that not long after the end of the third war, Yun Ninja Village was still making small moves.
They even accomplished something that they themselves found incredible, which was to bring back the body of a Hyuga clan member.
certainly!
The body that had been destroyed by the caged bird didn't have much effect, but what it represented had special meaning to the Kumo ninja.
Yes!
In the Third Ninja World War, Kumo Ninja did not complete his work and was unable to realize his vision of dominating the entire Ninja World, but this does not mean that this Kumo Ninja completely failed!
This is not...
The Fire Nation, the strongest in the ninja world, and Konoha Village, the strongest among the ninja villages, could only give in under the pressure of the Cloud Ninja Village, fearing to cause their dissatisfaction.
What could be more exciting for the Cloud Ninja Village than this!
For the Kumo ninja who admired strength and coveted land wealth, the defeat of the Third Ninja World War was completely a thing of the past, and everyone was working hard to launch the next war to dominate the ninja world.
But they didn't expect that even before they took action first, Konoha Village, which they originally despised, would take the initiative to attack.
For Yun Ren, who always likes to take the initiative to make things happen, this is simply a great shame and humiliation.
It was obviously me first...
very natural!
The excited Cloud Ninja Village immediately joined the battlefield.
It was also this serious one-on-one confrontation with Konoha that made all the Kumo ninjas, who were originally ambitious, suddenly poured cold water on them.
That's right!
Since the death of the first generation Hokage Senju Hashirama, the strength of the Cloud Ninja Village has continued to grow, and even reached its peak in the hands of the third generation Raikage, giving them the ambition to dominate the entire ninja world.
Even though Cloud Ninja Village has not fully recovered from the losses in the Third Ninja War, they believe that other Ninja Villages are also facing the same problem.
So facing a Konoha village that was so cowardly that they desecrated the corpses of their companions, the Kumo ninjas who were already violent and reckless and full of desire for power, land and wealth, naturally wanted to use absolute power to prove that they had He came out of the decline of the Third Ninja War.
Cloud Ninja is the strongest!
It's just that the ideal is very beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel.
When they actually fought against Konoha on the battlefield, the Kumo ninja who was still feeling excited was instantly doused with ice water.
Are Konoha's ninjas too strong?
of course not!
It is true that the God of the Ninja World and the Shura of the Ninja World have left an extremely solid foundation for Konoha. The various combinations of blood successors and the endless combination of secret techniques give Konoha's ninja quality a natural advantage.
However, as the Cloud Ninja Village was founded by the martial arts sect and grew up in the Land of Thunder with "simple folk customs", the strength and tactical literacy of the Cloud Ninjas are definitely top-notch.
Especially against the Konoha ninjas who had a relatively comfortable living environment, most of the Cloud ninjas could even gain a lot of upper hand in a duel.
However.
The battlefield is extremely cruel!
Even if a group of Kumo ninjas are not intimidated by the large number of Konoha people, the number of Konoha ninjas they need to face at this moment is still too many.
This is simply a foul!
It was completely different from the situation in the Third Ninja War. At this moment, Konoha completely ignored the threats from other ninja villages and pointed the finger completely at the Cloud Ninja Village.
At this moment, almost all the elites of Konoha came out, perfectly showing to the entire ninja world what the rich temperament of the No. 1 ninja village in the ninja world is.
Just the coalition of the little-known Sarutobi, Tenjin, and Mitomon clans has almost caught up with the number of Kumo ninjas gathered on the battlefield in terms of number of ninjas.
What made the senior officials of Yunnin Village even more speechless was Hinata, Aburame, Ise, Kurama, Moonlight, Inuzuka, Inokacho, etc...
The large and small ninja clans of Konoha were broken into pieces, dividing the entire battlefield to the maximum extent, making the Kumo ninja who already had a numerical disadvantage even more constrained.
If it was due to the extremely irritable character of the Fourth Raikage Ai, it is impossible to say that he would have been able to carve out a bloody path by relying on his strong personal strength regardless of the situation.
However.
Although the fourth generation Raikage Ai's character is as violent as the third generation Raikage's.
However, in the past, it was difficult to restore the vitality of the Cloud Ninja Village, and the tragic lessons of the Third Raikage being beaten to death, which led to the final defeat of the Cloud Ninja Village, lay ahead.
As a result, while Ai, the fourth generation Raikage, has a violent and domineering personality, he awkwardly retains an extreme level of calmness and delicacy in his heart.
Whenever he wanted to use a sharp knife to tear through the defenses of the Sarutobi tribe on the front line, he would calmly withdraw and support the defense lines that were on the verge of being broken.
Although this method prevented him from being beaten to death, it also caused Ai to feel extremely aggrieved, and at the same time, Yun Nin's battle front was also being continuously compressed.
And the news that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Jhin finally had a falling out came, and a group of cloud ninjas wanted to use this trend to quickly reverse the previous decline!
What made them feel even more confused and helpless was that the Sarutobi, Tenho, and Mitomon clans who were originally responsible for the frontal battlefield did not give up their defenses as they imagined.
on the contrary!
The three clans of ninjas, namely Sarutobi, Tensho, and Mitomon, who were originally supposed to be chasing Sarutobi Hiruzen out of Konoha, were now acting a bit crazier on the battlefield than before.
It was as if he was eager to show his loyalty to the new Hokage, and was ready to prove his determination to completely break up with Sarutobi Hiruzen with his actual military exploits.
"Just some petty profit..."
The Fourth Raikage Ai stood in front of the camp of Yun Ninja Village. Although he just stood quietly, his burly body that looked like he had been tempered for thousands of years still made people feel a sense of oppression involuntarily.
"No... even I can't help but feel a little moved by such a big deal as entrusting the territory of the Fire Country..."
The defection of Sarutobi Hiruzen should have brought a heavy blow to Konoha, but Uchiha Jhin's direct promise of dividends for victory in the war and the addition of the land of fire's fertile territory to the scope of rewards made Konoha's Those ninjas who smelled the fishy smell went crazy.
In particular, the three tribes of Sarutobi, Tenjin, and Mitomon, in order to better wash away the stain of Sarutobi Hiruzen, were even more desperate in the previous counterattack.
Even the Fourth Raikage, who was originally serving as a quick support, was almost completely restrained in the frontal battlefield. He was so angry that he almost wanted to kill the three clans together.
but.
After all, his violent character was awakened by reason. After realizing that this was not the time to counterattack, the Fourth Raikage decisively issued the order to retreat.
And now!
There is not much room for concession in this war!
Because...the Kingdom of Thunder is behind them!
"Lord Raikage"
The dark-skinned and unconventional Darui gradually lost his usual lazy attitude and continued to speak to the Fourth Raikage Ai with great seriousness.
"It's time to make a decision!"
"knew!"
A trace of gloom flashed across the face of the Fourth Raikage Ai, but it quickly disappeared without a trace, and he randomly gave instructions to Yuki and Darui who were kneeling behind him.
"Order all personnel to retreat and garrison the Frost and Thunder Canyon!"
"yes!"
Yuki and Darui felt slightly relieved, and they were also worried that the Fourth Raikage would not be able to let go of this honor. After all, the last time someone in the Cloud Ninja Village was beaten into their home, that was the last time Shura from the Ninja World came to establish his power... …
But at the moment, they are being restrained and dispersed by the ninjas of Konoha in the Kingdom of Frost, and they are completely unable to take advantage of the geographical advantage. If they continue to entangle here, they will only be cut with blunt knives. It is better to use the geographical advantage of Frost and Thunder Canyon to concentrate their forces together.
After all, defensive battles are much easier than encounter battles.
But that’s it.
It’s a decisive battle!
