It is speculated from the intelligence that Uchiha Tatsu must have activated the Mangekyō Sharingan, which is too much of a deterrent to the tailed beasts.
Back then, Madara was able to control even the Nine-Tails with these eyes. The tailed beasts really didn't feel safe if they were left outside.
"But Master Lao Zi... may not be willing to return to the village." A middle-aged jounin whispered.
Lao Zi is the same generation as the Third Tsuchikage, and is also extremely powerful. After becoming a jinchuriki, his personality is naturally a bit surly.
"This is an order! I, the Third Tsuchikage, am not dead yet. If he doesn't come back, he will never come back."
Ohnoki became angry when he mentioned Lao Zi, even if he didn't pay attention to him as a Tsuchikage, he was still running around as a Jinchuuriki.
To be honest, he was already impatient with Lao Zi, but it was just due to friendship and years of companionship, otherwise he would have imprisoned him in the village.
Go to the entire ninja world and ask, whose jinchūriki can run around
A character like Uzumaki Mito, who has an out-of-the-box personality, after becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, didn't he also restrain his personality and stay quietly in the village? Why is he, Lao Zi, so special
"If he doesn't come back, send ninjas to capture him." Ohnoki emphasized his tone.
This is a critical moment. He doesn't want to be like Kirigakure, who liberated the tailed beast in the village, so Lao Zi must protect him strictly!
This is not safe, and there must be enough ninjas left in Iwagakure Village as a defense.
"Pass my order to transfer all troops from Taki Country back to the village."
This part of the team was previously used to defend Yunyin Village.
But now that Kirigakure has undergone drastic changes, and one of the five major villages has been lost. In this unfavorable situation, it would be too arrogant to retain the strength to target Kumogakure with a winning mentality...
The Third Raikage will also understand this situation. If he wants to win the war, there is no way he can invade the Land of Earth.
This kind of tacit understanding still exists between the two sides.
To put it bluntly, there is a great enemy in front of them. If the four major powers cannot fully win the Third Shinobi World War, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure will all become a laughing stock.
Before this, Onoki had planned to transfer these ninjas to the front lines of the Land of Grass, but now it seems that he might as well forget it.
If the village is destroyed, the war will be lost even if the front line is victorious.
It can only be said that the result of Konoha's lightning battle in Kirigakure was not just as simple as kicking Kirigakure out of the war, but the most important thing was its deterrence!
Stealing a house is too terrifying. If it doesn't succeed, forget it. But the problem is that if it succeeds, the meaning is different.
Previously, all the major villages were full of confidence in their own defenses. They did not think that any ninja could invade. Even if they invaded, they would be discovered quickly and beaten to death.
But Kirigakure Village has proven with facts that even the most perfect village can be breached.
Moreover, there are too many civilians in the village, and casual destruction will cause serious losses.
In peacetime, attacks on enemy civilians should certainly be severely reprimanded.
But now it is a war, a cruel ninja war, and it is impossible for a ninja to understand what humanitarianism is.
Taking into account the image of a great power? Sorry, this is not really the case in the ninja world. This is a typical non-ninja way of thinking.
Think about Kumogakure, as a big country with one of the best military power, don't you often come to Konoha secretly and do things like abducting women and children
Aren't the five major countries also fighting for other small countries, so how can they show the demeanor of a big country
Accusing others of killing innocent people is a joke to ninjas.
For a time, every village began to take similar measures.
The most positive one among them is the Third Kazekage. When the news came, he was so frightened that he asked a quarter of the ninjas to be transferred back to the village overnight.
Currently, Sunagakure Village is definitely in a period of power emptiness, even more emptied than Kirigakure Village. Seventy percent of the ninjas are on the front lines, and the large village can only provide the most basic protection.
The power invested in this battle... can basically be regarded as the Suna Ninja squeezing his own ultimate combat power.
Since they have the numerical advantage on the battlefield, they are naturally stronger than Konoha. However, in this case, the village's defense force is insufficient. Therefore, in terms of timing, now is an opportunity for Sunagakure to easily infiltrate, and it is also an opportunity to easily cause a big attack. Opportunity for scale destruction.
The most important thing is that Sunagakure is no longer Shukaku!
In other words, as long as Konoha's ninjas sneak into Sunagakure Village and drop Shukaku in, Sunagakure Village can directly declare GG and withdraw from this war.
The village must focus on defense. On the contrary, the frontline strength will be weakened too much. This is an issue that cannot be taken into account.
Because of these problems, the Third Kazekage has been very busy recently. If it were not for Chiyo's support, I am afraid that the other Suna Ninja elders would hold him accountable for this.

If there is anyone outside the four major nations who is the most unhappy right now, it is probably Danzo.
At this time, his face was as gloomy as water.
Compared with the early days of the war, Danzo has begun to change drastically. Originally there was only a scar on his chin, but now his entire right eye is covered by a bandage.
It was the Third Raikage who caused him such serious injuries. The two had fought several times, but Danzo never had the upper hand.
The opponent's defense was too strong. Danzo, who was proficient in Wind Release, was obviously restrained in his attributes, but it was still useless.
The scariest thing is not that you can't beat them, but that they just stand there and let you hit them, but you can't break the defense at all!
If it weren't for the support of Mito Kaden and Jiraiya, the current situation in Yuno Country would have deteriorated into something unknown.
Danzo felt a little sad, thinking that when he was in the six-man team, his strength was pretty good, but after not taking action in these years, his strength was not as good as before.
I guess the same is true for Sarutobi Hiruzen, right
But even with such a serious injury, Danzo still had no use following Mito Kadoyan to evacuate the battlefield.
Does he love the village
Of course.
But the reason why he stayed was not because of this, but because he coveted the position of Hokage!
In the competition with the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, he failed, and the second generation Hokage chose the latter.
Nowadays, Sarutobi Hiruzen will retire after this war. In other words, whoever has enough military exploits will have a greater chance of becoming the fourth generation target.
Danzo was still holding out hope that this was his last chance.
But the cruel reality gave him a hard slap in the face. Although he was almost the same age as the Third Raikage, he was no match for him. Even... he couldn't even beat his son.
Just when he was racking his brains on how to defeat Kumogakure, good news came from Kirigakure Village.
This is good news for Konoha, but not necessarily for Danzo.
He regretted a little, why didn't he watch Sarutobi Hiruzen in the village and actually let him appoint an Uchiha to be the frontline commander
One man destroyed an entire village. When had he last heard of such a battle report? It seems to be when the first Hokage was still alive.
This kind of credit and prestige is too great, and it can no longer be suppressed by just three words: Uchiha.
Danzo took a few deep breaths to calm down his mind.
At this moment, a member of the Gen appeared in front of him, knelt down, and said with a respectful expression: "Lord Danzo, these are the details of the battle in Kirigakure Village."
After Danzo tied the knot, he looked at it carefully.
After a while, he murmured: "Mangekyo Sharingan?"
"Yes, only the Mangekyō Sharingan can have this kind of power!"
His slightly narrowed eyes revealed a hint of coldness, and he slowly stretched out his hand and pressed it on the bandaged right eye.
There was nothing there, and his eyes had been blinded by the Third Raikage.
But it was this pain that inspired his endless desire for power.
Power...the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Danzo happened to have one, and he had never made up his mind whether to transplant it, and he felt that now he had the answer.
Of course, one was not enough. Looking at Chen's record of three hundred instant kills in the battle report, a glimmer of greed flashed deep in Danzo's eyes.
Jing's son's eyes... seem to have good power.
