In the end, most of the Iwagakure ninjas failed to escape successfully. Only Huang Tu and a small number of elite ninjas successfully escaped back to the Iwagakure Village.
Nagato unceremoniously announced his victory to the ninja world, declared the defeat of the Iwagakure Village, and also formally announced the formation of the Ninja Village Alliance.
The Ninja Village Alliance aims to unite all the small ninja villages to resist the five powerful ninja villages and establish a truly peaceful ninja world.
Under Nagato's arrangement, small ninja villages responded one after another and joined the Ninja Village Alliance. Suddenly, the Ninja Village Alliance became a behemoth with influence throughout the ninja world.
The entire ninja world was somewhat confused by these major events that happened one after another.
Luo Sha was not laughing at this moment, but was extremely shocked and doubting his life.
"The main force of Iwagakure was defeated by the Light Ninja Kusanagi, and the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki was captured. What kind of joke is this in the ninja world?" Rasa instantly felt that this was fake news.
A failed operation by Iwagakure against a small ninja village is not a big deal. There may be many reasons for this, such as Iwagakure underestimating the enemy, and the fact that this small ninja village does have impressive strength, which ultimately led to the failure of the operation.
Apart from being a little embarrassed, it wasn't really a big deal.
But this time it was different. The Light Ninja Kusanagi took the initiative to attack the Land of Earth, defeated the main force of the Iwagakure, and captured the Third Tsuchikage.
How valuable is this? Back then, even the Hidden Cloud Clan didn’t have the ability to break into the Land of Earth and capture the Tsuchikage.
However, the Light and Grass Ninjas did it.
Rasa was not very clear about the newly established small ninja village of Hikari Ninja Village, but he was very clear about the strength of the Kusagakure Ninja Village.
Does the Kusagakure have this ability? Of course not, it doesn't have this strength.
"Is it true, as that old fox Ohnoki said, that there is a deeply hidden mastermind behind all this?" Luo Sha fell into deep thought.
He received the information given to him by Ōnoki, but did not take it too seriously because most of it was Ōnoki's speculations based on the newly built ninja village in the past two years.
But compared to Kusanagi and Kounin who relied on their own strength to overthrow the Iwagakure Village, Luo Sha would rather believe that there was a powerful and unknown mastermind controlling all this in the dark.
Luo Sha thought again of the newly established Ninja Village Alliance, which was clearly aiming to overthrow all the large Ninja villages.
An ordinary small ninja village can only dream of becoming one of the five largest ninja villages. How could they possibly have the ambition to overthrow all the large ninja villages
"Lord Kazekage, the Bird Village, Rain Village, and Light Village have declared war on us!" Suddenly a Sand Village ninja entered Rasa's office and reported.
Luo Sha's eyelids twitched. If it was the same thing happening right in front of him, he would have laughed contemptuously and sent some senior ninjas to deal with it.
However, the Iwagakure were defeated by the Light Ninja, and the Bird Ninja also defeated the Iwagakure troops in the first battle. I don't know what the situation is with the Rain Ninja, but it's best not to underestimate them.
"Enter wartime status, gather ninja troops to prepare for war, and don't let them enter the interior of the Wind Country!" Luo Sha said seriously.
The Kingdom of Wind is the capital of the desert. Its citizens live in an oasis in the desert and are more vulnerable than those in other countries.
If the oasis is destroyed due to war, it will be a heavy blow to the Wind Kingdom, where life is already difficult.
"Oh, right? We should quickly ask Konoha for help, telling them that Sunagakure is facing a life-and-death situation, and we hope that Konoha can fulfill the alliance and help us overcome the difficulties." Luosha thought for a moment and said.
The Sand Village ninjas were stunned by Rasa's words. How could their survival be at stake? The other side had just declared war and might still be on their way.
"Lord Kazekage, but we haven't officially started the battle yet?" Although Luosha is the Kazekage, the Sand Ninja felt that Luosha's behavior was a bit...
"Stupid!" Luo Sha glared at the Sand Village ninja and cursed.
"Do you think that our Sunagakure is much stronger than the Iwagakure, or do you think that I, the Fourth Kazekage, am much stronger than Ōnoki?"
The Sand Village ninja was silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Although from his point of view, he would definitely not admit that the Sand Village is weaker than the Rock Village, and the Wind Shadow is not as strong as the Tsuchikage.
But judging from objective facts and historical records, the strength of their Sand Village is indeed not as good as that of the Iwagakure, and it is estimated that Rasa, the Kazekage, is no match for Ōnoki.
"But is this something a Kage should say?" the Sand Ninja complained in his heart.
As if seeing through the thoughts of the Sand Village ninja, Luo Sha said calmly: "Compared to trying to save face and holding on, which ultimately caused the Wind Country and Sand Village to suffer heavy losses, then losing a little face is nothing."
The Konoha trip made Luo Sha understand a truth: people should recognize their own abilities and accept their own weaknesses.
His strength is not even on the same level as Nagase, and he may not even be able to defeat Minato Namikaze. If Sunagakure is not as strong as Konoha, then why bother going against Konoha
It would be better to be a younger brother and get some benefits by following Konoha to sell medical talismans. Konoha eats meat and he drinks soup. It is not as comfortable as selling gold sand by himself.
Look at the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure. No matter how much he disobeyed Konoha, could he still rebel against Konoha? He still accepted Konoha's plan obediently, and the process was not pleasant.
As long as he admitted his weakness, he would be invincible. What was there to fight against? Of course he would call on the powerful Konoha big brother for help.
The Sand Village ninja was stunned when he heard what Rasa said, and the look he gave Rasa was different again.
Although Luo Sha's actions were rather in line with his heart, Luo Sha was undoubtedly a qualified Kazekage, and his core goal was always to protect the village and the country.
Not only Sunagakure, the Ninja Village Alliance declared war on all five major ninja villages except Konoha.
…
The Raikage's office in the Hidden Cloud Village.
"Yugu Village, Frost Village, and Taki Village declared war on us? How dare they!" The Fourth Raikage slammed the table in anger when he heard that just a few small ninja villages in the surrounding areas actually took the initiative to declare war on the Hidden Cloud Village.
It was already a courtesy for Yunyin to not actively bully these small countries, but they actually want to ride on its head
"Yondaime, don't underestimate these small ninja villages. Even the Iwagakure Village was defeated by them, and the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki was captured alive." Tsuchikage said in a deep voice.
"That old fool Ohnoki is getting worse the more he grows older. He was actually captured. It would be better for him to die on the battlefield." The Fourth Raikage said with a laugh.
The news of Iwagakure's defeat and Ōnoki's capture was good news for the Fourth Raikage. Under the pressure of Konoha, the five major ninja villages were forced to make peace, and the Fourth Raikage did not forget his hatred for Iwagakure.
The Fourth Raikage was naturally very happy that his enemy was in trouble.
"Although this old guy Ohnoki is hateful, he is also very powerful. I will not underestimate him." The Fourth Raikage said immediately.
Although he hates Ōnoki, the Fourth Raikage does not think that Ōnoki is weak.
Dodai nodded in relief. The Fourth Raikage looked like a rough guy, but he was actually a smart guy and he was not just good at swinging his fists.
"Gather the ninja troops. I want them to know the price of challenging Kumogakure!" the Fourth Raikage stood up and said.
He would personally lead the troops to defeat these ninjas from the small villages.
…
The Hidden Mist Village.
"These two guys from the Land of Waves and the Land of Sea actually dare to challenge our Kirigakure. Are they tired of living?" Shikura was surprised.
The Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water has always been the undisputed overlord of the sea. All island nations look up to the Land of Water, and the Hidden Mist Village has absolute say on the sea.
Shikura didn't expect that an alliance of ninja villages would give the small Wave Kingdom and Sea Kingdom the courage to challenge the Water Kingdom.
As the true overlord of the sea, doesn't he, the Fourth Mizukage, know the strength of the Wave Kingdom and the Sea Kingdom
He is not showing off. There is no country on the sea that can fight. Even if all the countries are combined, they are still no match for his Hidden Mist Village.
However, with the previous experience of Iwagakure, Shikura did not underestimate this sudden war.
Although the Wave Kingdom and the Sea Kingdom are not strong, what if they have strong foreign aid
Taking this into consideration, Shikura personally led the ninja troops to teach these two disobedient brothers a lesson.
For a time, almost the entire ninja world was plunged into war. A large number of small countries raised troops to besiege the big countries. A war that was even larger in scale than any previous ninja war suddenly broke out.
During this time of war, only Konoha remained as peaceful as before, as if nothing had happened.
Only the frequently reported news let the people of the Fire Nation know that the current ninja world is very chaotic and there are wars everywhere. Only the pure land of the Fire Nation has not been disturbed at all.
However, the experienced people of the Fire Nation know that this is only temporary. Based on past experience, the Fire Nation is the least likely to stay out of it.
There are two important reasons for this. First, the Fire Nation is located in the center of the five major countries and has been a transportation fortress since ancient times. Moreover, the Fire Nation has a flat terrain and is covered with vast hills, which is extremely suitable for growing crops and is rich in resources.
With both money and food, everyone is of course very jealous of the Fire Kingdom, especially the Wind Kingdom next door.
The second is that the Fire Nation is the strongest, and everyone subconsciously does not want to see it continue to become stronger. Whenever there is a war in the Ninja World, the Fire Nation must be dragged into it to weaken the Fire Nation and Konoha's strength.
But the people of the Fire Nation had no other choice. After all, war was not something that could be decided by the wishes of ordinary people.
Some people who are worried about war move to the central region, which may be safer.
If you are more afraid, then go to a big city like the capital.
If I'm any more worried, I'll have no choice but to go to Konoha.
There is no doubt that Konoha is the safest place in the Land of Fire. Even during the period when Konoha was at its lowest point, there was no threat to Konoha's homeland.
The people of the Fire Nation still have great confidence in Konoha, after all, they have the strongest man in the ninja world, Nagasawa Sukeza.
"There are too many people applying to buy houses in Konoha recently. Where can we get so many houses for them?" Minato complained to Nagase in the Hokage's office.
Although Konoha has a large area, most of it is planned as a training ground, and there are not so many ready-made houses for sale.
"After all, given the current situation in the ninja world, everyone wants to live in a safer place." Nagase said with a smile.
Normally there are many people who want to enter Konoha, but this sudden war undoubtedly caused the number of people to surge to a very terrifying number.
Many of them are not even from the Fire Nation, but from other countries who come to the Fire Nation to escape the war.
"Some of them are nobles and wealthy businessmen who support our Konoha, so it's hard to refuse them." Minato said, putting down the information.
Although Konoha is now making a lot of money by monopolizing medical talismans and is very rich.
But before that, Konoha's main source of income was actually the sponsorship of the Fire Country Daimyo, the support of some wealthy nobles, and then earning commissions from entrustment.
"Then let's make the opening bigger, demolish the wall of Konoha and then replan the land to build a new district." Nagase said after thinking for a while.
It's fine to let a few hundred people in, but then we can just take the opportunity to make a big move. Konoha has almost absorbed the previously increased population, so we can try to make some big moves.
"Tear down the outer wall of Konoha? It might cause a lot of controversy during this period of time." Minato said after thinking for a while.
There is a wooden wall outside Konoha that surrounds the entire Konoha. Its original intention was to protect Konoha.
Although it is made of wood, it is not ordinary wood and is very hard.
But that was in the past. In today's ever-developing Konoha, the entire wall undoubtedly feels like a prison, hindering the development of Konoha.
At present, the ninja world is in chaos, and a war has broken out between all the small and big countries. It is undoubtedly inappropriate to demolish the wall used to protect Konoha at this time.
"Let there be criticism, but the war will not reach Konoha because it will be over before that." Nagase shrugged and said.
There are many controversial points about him, and even he cannot make everyone in Konoha like him.
For example, the two consultants disliked him very much and felt that he had messed up the ninja village so much that it no longer looked like a ninja village.
"Are you going to take action yourself against that Ninja Village Alliance?" Minato asked.
"The Ninja Village Alliance is not the main focus, the focus is the organization behind it." Nagase replied.
Nagase had no intention of being a riddler, so he told Minato the information about the Akatsuki organization.
"So that's how it is. No wonder Iwagakure was defeated so quickly. Even the Third Tsuchikage was captured." After knowing the current intelligence of Akatsuki, Minato suddenly felt that it made sense.
If it was the leader of the Akatsuki organization who possessed the Rinnegan who took action, then Ōnoki would not have lost unfairly.
"It's time to reorganize the ninja organizations in the ninja world. I didn't expect that there is still such a powerful ninja organization with huge ambitions." After learning about the strength of the Akatsuki organization, Minato was a little frightened and sighed that the ninja world is really complicated.
"The Ninja Village Alliance can exist, but it is not an alliance of small ninja villages but an alliance of the entire ninja world," said Nagase.
After this incident, the ninja world should be ushering in a decent peace. It will no longer be peace between the big ninja villages, but peace in the entire ninja world.
After allowing the Akatsuki organization to develop for so long, it is time to close the net.
If we let Nagato continue to make trouble, it would be more trouble than it is worth.
