Qingyu followed quickly, but there were still deep doubts in his mind. After all, this was his first time seeing Bai Jue.
I've only seen Bai Zetsu in anime before.
This was his first time after coming to the ninja world. Of course, he had seen Black Zetsu before, which was an existence that was even harder to see than White Zetsu.
Suddenly.
Qingyu controlled his own breath, followed behind these Bai Jue, and maximized his body's perception ability, so that he could take the absolute initiative in both reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance.
As for the battlefield.
Qingyu doesn't have to worry about it at all.
After Minato returns, everything will be back on track. With his understanding of Minato's strength and the Sage Mode that Minato has mastered, the ninjas in the Third Ninja War are now unable to do anything to Minato.
At this time, Minato already fully possesses Kage-level strength, but he is still the strongest among many Kages.
After a while.
Qingyu followed these White Zetsu to the other side of the battlefield, which was not close to the intersection of the battle between Iwagakure Village and Konoha Village.
That's when.
Qingyu's gaze went directly past the hidden Bai Jue and landed on the place where their eyes met.
"That is… "
Qingyu didn't expect to see that person here, but it was just that he didn't expect it. It didn't mean that it couldn't happen in theory.
During this period of time, his focus has been on pushing the ninja army from Iwagakure Village to Konoha Village. There is no need to go to the details of Konoha Village ninja army, but it still makes sense.
Where Aoba's sight was, where those White Zetsu eyes were focused, there was a figure wearing the costume of a Konoha Village ninja.
This is a lonely figure.
There was no one else around.
Just one.
He happened to be someone Qingyu knew.
Uchiha Fugaku!
At this time, Uchiha Fugaku's face was solemn and serious, as if he was looking for something. He looked a little confused standing in the woods, not knowing where the way forward was, and he looked like a headless fly.
"Why is Uchiha Fugaku here?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Qingyu's eyes. Among the ninja army in Konoha Village, there were many ninjas from the Uchiha clan. These ninjas can be regarded as the main force of the ninja army. But when did Uchiha Fugaku leave here? I really didn't notice it.
"According to my understanding of Uchiha Fugaku, he is not the kind of person who runs away from battle. If Minato has not returned, the ninjas of Konoha Village are currently fighting brutally. When did he come here?"
"the most important is… "
"What is he doing here?"
"And why are you being targeted by these Bai Zetsu?"
"Is it related to Black Zetsu?"
One big question mark after another popped up in Qingyu's heart. Now Uchiha Fugaku's behavior is not a normal behavior. No matter how you look at it, it is very strange. It seems that something happened that he doesn't know about.
but.
Aoba did not immediately come out to stop Uchiha Fugaku.
If you do that.
It is difficult to find the answer to a puzzle like this.
He wants to wait.
Wait quietly.
Use his eyes to look at Uchiha Fugaku, see what the latter is going to do, and find the answer based on the latter's behavior.
that's all.
Qingyu followed behind the Bai Zetsus.
These White Zetsu were in a state of secret observation, silently following Uchiha Fugaku, and maintaining a distance that Uchiha Fugaku could not detect.
But they didn't know that there was someone behind them, with a similar posture to them, who was also observing them.
…
The Country of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.
Kazekage office.
"Report!!!"
A ninja from Sunagakure Village quickly ran into Kazekage's office. He looked extremely anxious, with anxiety written all over his face, as if something extremely important had happened.
"What happened? You're making so much noise, can't you calm down?"
The third-generation Kazekage frowned. Now he was taking charge of the overall situation. The office was almost full of senior officials from Sunagakure Village, including consultant Chiyo who had just returned.
Uh-huh!
On the large table in the Kazekage's office, the senior officials of Sunagakure Village focused their attention on the ninja who reported the news. This person successfully attracted their attention.
"Yes... I'll pay attention next time..."
The ninja in charge of the report was breathing heavily. Now he couldn't care so much about such things. His mind was full of urgent information and he wanted to report it as soon as possible.
"This is what happened!"
"The news just came back from the front line!"
"Iwagakure Village has launched a general attack on Konoha Village!"
"Almost all the ninja army of Iwagakure Village has entered the Kingdom of Fire!"
"If nothing unexpected happens..."
"We can defeat the Leaf Village before dark!"
This Sunagakure Village ninja quickly reported the frontline information to the Third Kazekage. He was very aware of the importance of this information, which would affect the future pattern of the ninja world, especially regarding the future of Sunagakure Village.
"Such a thing actually exists!"
The moment the Third Kazekage heard this, he immediately looked towards Chiyo and Ebizo, and then nodded to the ninja responsible for reporting.
"You go down."
"Yes!" After the ninja completed the reporting task, he suddenly felt a heavy stone falling in his heart and hurriedly turned around and evacuated.
With this ninja gone.
The Kazekage office immediately fell silent.
This state lasted for three seconds. Just when Chiyo was about to speak, the third Kazekage spoke first.
"Everyone."
"You all heard it."
"I believe I don't need to say more about the significance of this piece of information. Everyone knows that now is the time to make a decision!"
"Whose side are we on?"
"Attack Konoha Village immediately?"
"Or take the opportunity to sneak attack on Iwagakure?"
The third generation Kazekage directly threw out the problem in his mind. The current situation is not a good one for Sunagakure Village, but they still have to make a choice without delay, otherwise it will be easy for all kinds of things to happen. The problem.
After the words of the Third Kazekage came out, the scene was still silent, but everyone looked at Chiyo and Ebizo in unison.
This is a very simple truth.
These two are the people with the highest status and the most say besides the third generation Kazekage. To a certain extent, their words can even affect Kazekage's decision.
"Let me tell you."
Chiyo was the first to speak. She didn't look at anyone, she just looked down at the table.
"I think we need to attack the Leaf Village!"
Chiyo said something that didn't surprise anyone. After all, everyone at the scene knew about the conflict between Chiyo and the Leaf Village, especially when it came to Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo.
"I don't say this for my own personal reasons. In the face of major issues involving the village, I will not do things based on my personal interests."
Chiyo seemed to have noticed everyone's thoughts, and was the first to explain before giving specific reasons.
After saying this.
No one's expressions changed at all.
after all.
This is not the first day they have met Chiyo.
This person, who is the pillar of Sunagakure Village, is not capable of lying about such a matter, and is still very credible.
"Let me tell you the reason first."
Chiyo's voice sounded again, and along with her words, she raised a finger. Her emotion could not be seen on her almost unchanged face.
"The first point."
"Iwagakure Village is now so powerful that Konoha Village simply cannot withstand it."
"The intelligence also said so."
"When it gets dark, Iwagakure may invade Konoha Village."
"But I don't think Iwagakure is capable of destroying Konoha Village."
"We are all people who have been through war."
"We all understand this truth."
"Winning wars is easy."
"It's very difficult to destroy the enemy!"
"The ninja army in Iwagakure Village is not rushing to completely wipe out Konoha Village!"
"What they want is profit!"
"When they can get the spoils they are satisfied with..."
"They'll stop!"
"If we can reach Konoha Village before Iwagakure stops, then we can get a share of the pie, but if the peace agreement is reached, there may be nothing left in Konoha Village!"
"the most important is… "
"When that time comes..."
"After the energy of Iwagakure Village has calmed down, it will be impossible for us to attack Konoha Village in a large scale. We must carefully guard Iwagakure Village to avoid repeating the mistakes of Konoha Village!"
Chiyo said one sentence after another. She quickly analyzed the pros and cons of this matter. At least for now, she saw that attacking Konoha Village could gain more benefits.
After hearing what Chiyo said, everyone at the scene nodded. They all understood what Chiyo meant.
"From a profit perspective..."
"The Leaf Village is now in a state of collapse."
"We can get benefits that are no less than those of Iwagakure Village without paying any price at all."
"After all, all the sober Third Hokage can think about now is settling the matter!"
"As long as we don't push too hard..."
"We can get huge benefits!"
"This part of the benefits will definitely be far higher than the benefits obtained from the sneak attack on Yanyin Village!"
Chiyo added again, her words still caused everyone to nod, after all, she analyzed from the perspective of interests.
Everything in the world is for profit!
The same is true in the ninja world!
The reason why ninjas have missions to do depends on the continuous commissions issued by major powers, and those commissions, protection or assassination, are all just for the word "money".
The operation of the village also requires money.
The current Sunagakure Village is still in the third generation and has not obtained the technology of placer gold. Among the five great ninja villages, it is still a relatively poor village.
If you want to make the village strong, you must first make the village rich. Looting is a very convenient shortcut.
All of a sudden.
No one had any opinions.
"Second point."
Chiyo raised her second finger and began to prepare her next point. But even if she didn't say it, everyone knew in their hearts that they should attack Konoha Village first.
"Now if we attack Iwagakure in a sneak attack, then the one who benefits the most is not us, but Konoha Village. We are equivalent to helping Konoha Village."
"Such help will not bring us any benefit. Instead, it will completely break with Iwagakure Village."
"If we are confident that we can kill Iwagakure directly with this punch, then we can still consider it!"
"But who can guarantee that?"
“Once Iwagakure Village is allowed to recover, we will become Iwagakure Village’s formidable enemy!”
"No benefit was gained."
"Also introduces a huge, powerful enemy."
"Doing this will have almost no benefit to the development of our Sunagakure Village!"
Chiyo's voice was sonorous and powerful, with an undoubted determination. Almost everyone who heard it clearly understood the reason behind it, and he immediately made everyone speechless.
The third Kazekage stared at the third generation and kept nodding.
As expected of Chiyo's consultant.
He originally thought that this issue would need to be discussed by everyone before he could reach a final conclusion, but what he didn't expect was that the result was already there.
at this time.
Chiyo put away those two fingers.
A coldness flashed in his eyes.
"In summary."
"Whether you look at it from the perspective of the benefits we can gain."
"From the perspective of the future development of our Sunagakure Village."
"The best choice is to attack Konoha Village!"
"I don't think there is any need to hesitate about such things!"
"We should form an army of ninjas immediately and attack Konoha Village. It is best to reach Konoha Village before the ninja army of Iwagakure Village!"
When Chiyo said these words, she was really thinking about things in the village, but when she got here, the face of Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo appeared in her mind.
It’s finally time to pay off your debt!
"That's it!"
The Third Kazekage immediately slapped the table, his eyes filled with determination that he no longer hesitated.
"Attack Konoha Village!"
