The ninjas of Iwagakure Village stood in the ward. Listening to Onoki's explanation, everyone calmed down and realized the nature of this matter.
"Lord Tsuchikage, what should we do next?"
The team leader who came back from the front line asked Ohnoki. He was not only coming back from the front line to report intelligence, but also to ask how to proceed in the future.
After he asked this question, he kept staring at Ohnoki.
Now this time.
The two ninjas in charge of intelligence also understood the current situation of their Iwagakure Village.
It’s not that anyone is lying!
No one lied!
This is the sequence of events, but even the intelligence ninjas in those villages did not expect what would happen next.
Such a thing.
Who could have imagined it!
"Just wait and see what happens!"
Onoki sighed helplessly. Now he could only judge through intelligence that a super strong person like Namikaze Minato appeared in Konoha Village, but the intelligence did not fully present the strength of Namikaze Minato.
He needs more information.
but.
This cannot be an adventure for the ninjas of their Iwagakure village.
"Now that all the ninjas in Iwagakure Village have returned to the village, generally speaking, as long as there is no particularly big hatred, the other party will not directly attack the village, so when we shrink back, the survival of the village will not be a problem. It’s so serious.”
Ohnoki explained grandly.
actually.
That's not what he meant.
The reason for saying this is simply because he didn't want to say everything.
There are many things you cannot say to these people...
For example, he only asked the ninjas to come back to retain some power!
Ohnoki is definitely one of the top two among the current Five Kages in terms of experience and combat prowess, but precisely because he has seen the scenery at high places, when he can make a choice, he still tries his best to avoid interacting with that person. A collision of superpowers.
"Yes." The team leader nodded immediately.
"You continue to monitor Yanyin Village and Yunyin Village, and send some more people to the front lines to have a look and send back more intelligence."
Onoki looked at the two ninjas who had just reported the information. His idea was very simple. He could make further judgments based on the movements of Sand Hidden Village and Kumo Hidden Village, and based on the fighting situation between these two villages and Konoha Village. Namikaze Minato's strength.
For Namikaze Minato…
He must take a good look!
Is it exactly what he imagined
But the premise is...
We can't use the ninjas from their Iwagakure Village to explore these things!
"yes!"
The two ninjas said in unison. After receiving this reward, they also understood how things developed. Everyone had indescribable helplessness on their faces. What they suddenly learned Things made them feel that the world of ninja had changed.
…
The Country of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.
Kazekage office.
The Third Kazekage was sitting in the office. He looked at the scrolls spread out on the table and was quickly checking the information on them.
This is where all the information about Konoha Village that Sunagakure Village has obtained since the Third Ninja War broke out.
"No problem..."
The Third Kazekage looked at these words on the surface, and when they were put together, it seemed that Konoha Village had reached the end of its rope.
The ninja world is too small now.
It was so small that every village wanted to divide up more land.
Konoha Village is the biggest piece of cake at the moment.
It can be said…
Even if Sunagakure Village just tears off a part of the cake, it will allow the village to sustain itself economically for a while. They are really short of money.
"But why do I feel vaguely uneasy?"
The Third Kazekage rubbed his temples. Even he couldn't tell what was going on, but he had a particularly strong feeling. It seemed that it was not appropriate to launch an attack on Konoha Village now, but various intelligence All show that this is the best way to deal with it at present.
"Huh..."
The Third Kazekage took a deep breath suddenly, and then slowly exhaled it, trying to calm down his mood as much as possible, and finally shook his head with a helpless smile.
You must have thought of it yourself!
It must be that after being lured to Konoha Village by false information last time, he became cautious in doing things, even sharing the cakes carefully.
The third generation Kazekage also realized this problem of his own.
But he didn't tell anyone about it.
But he knows it very well.
He had an unspeakable fear of Konoha Village.
After all, the last time he made a sneak attack on Konoha Village, he simply put himself directly into the opponent's mouth. Afterwards, he found out that Coincidentally Cloud Hidden Village was also attacking Konoye Village just now. Konoye Village had no time to take care of both sides, so he was able to leave. .
This planted a seed in his heart.
So much so that he couldn't help but be cautious about things like sneak attacks on Konoha Village. Even now that Chiyo and the others had set off, he still had to come and take a closer look.
Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap…
However, at this moment, a series of footsteps sounded outside the door of Fengying's office. The sound came from far away and soon reached the door.
Dong Dong Dong…
The footsteps stopped and the knock on the door sounded. This transformation happened almost instantly. Both the frequency of steps and the speed of knocking on the door showed the urgency and nervousness of this person.
"Come in."
The Third Kazekage frowned suddenly, and even he himself couldn't explain why. Just when he was looking at the information about Konoha Village, he suddenly felt such an urgent emotion, which made him feel vaguely like Something is wrong.
Suddenly.
The door opened.
A Sunagakure ninja walked in.
He did not look at the Third Kazekage, but knelt directly on the ground, buried his head deeply, and said in a very low but anxious voice: "Master Kazekage, there is a problem with the information about Iwagakure Village. …”
"what is the problem?"
The Third Kazekage's brows furrowed even more tightly. After hearing this person's words, the ominous premonitions in his heart became even stronger.
That's how it goes sometimes.
What are you afraid of
What's coming
The third Kazekage suddenly realized...
Something bad is coming!
"Not long ago we discovered that the ninja army of Iwagakure Village had defeated the ninja army of Konoha Village. In order to participate as soon as possible, we immediately sent the information back, but..."
When the ninja said this, his tone paused slightly. He knew very well how things were developing. He buried his head deeper and did not dare to look into the eyes of the third generation Kazekage.
"Not long after we passed the information back, we discovered that a figure suddenly appeared in front of the ninja army in Konoha Village."
"That's a young boy with yellow hair."
"At that time, we were too far away and couldn't see clearly. But at that time, we didn't think that this young man could make any waves, so we didn't pay too much attention."
"But… "
"Never imagined!"
"This yellow-haired boy single-handedly defeated the ninja army in Iwagakure Village!"
"We were dumbfounded when we saw such a scene!"
"After further investigation, we obtained information about this yellow-haired boy. He is a disciple of Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas of Konoha..."
"Namikaze Minato!"
The ninja said one sentence after another. He knew very well how things were developing. If there were no surprises, the ninja army from Sunagakure Village had already set off for Konoha Village.
Then it is bound to have a head-to-head contest with the ninja army led by Namikaze Minato.
As a ninja in the intelligence service.
He understands what level of strength the ninjas in his Sunagakure Village are, and he also knows what kind of combat effectiveness the ninja army in Iwagakure Village has.
Even the ninja army of Iwagakure Village couldn't resist Namikaze Minato.
Then Sunagakure Village...
No way!
"What did you say?!!!"
The Third Kazekage's eyes widened uncontrollably. The content of the information he heard now was completely beyond his imagination.
He was indeed slightly uneasy during this time.
Think about all the possible bad outcomes.
but…
He never expected that such a reversal would occur on the battlefield of the ninja world.
To resist thousands of troops by oneself? !
This kind of mythical story suddenly appeared in front of him inexplicably
"Kazekage-sama, our ninja army has been setting off for a long time. According to the information we sent back, if my calculation is correct, we should be close to contact with Namikaze Minato."
The ninja still whispered, his head buried deeper. As he spoke, the hands supporting the ground were tightly clenched into fists, reflecting the unwillingness and strong helplessness in his heart.
"No matter what the outcome of our ninja army in Iwagakure Village evolves from the contact with Namikaze Minato, we are all sinners of Iwagakure Village, and we have no face to continue to live in the world."
While the ninja was talking, he suddenly raised his left hand and reached for the ninja tool bag at his waist, and almost instantly touched a kunai.
immediately.
The ninja immediately picked up the kunai and stabbed himself in the abdomen.
He wants to commit suicide!
After he learned that he had passed wrong information back to the village, he understood that he was already a sinner in the village. If it were not for bringing these last discoveries back to the village, he would not have come back alive at all.
"what are you doing?!"
The thoughts of the third generation Kazekage had been dragged away by this information. Suddenly, he discovered what had happened to the ninja in front of him. He suddenly raised his right hand, and waves of magnetic escape chakra rushed out, trying to take away the pain. He couldn't control it so it couldn't penetrate the ninja's abdomen.
But.
After all, he was half a beat too slow.
After all, this ninja had already thought it through before coming.
After he reported the information to the village, he immediately committed suicide and apologized. He had no reason to continue living.
He meant it.
The third Kazekage was once again immersed in the shock brought by the information.
The kunai that had been prepared in advance was close at hand.
If this ninja wanted to assassinate the third Kazekage, he would definitely not succeed, but if he aimed the blade at himself, there would be no problems at all.
Poof!
This kunai penetrated the ninja's body accurately, instantly erasing all his vitality. With the sound of kunai piercing his body, his kneeling body fell forward, and his head, which was already buried deeply, Directly against the ground.
So far.
The ninja took a kneeling position with his head on the ground and died in front of the third Kazekage.
From beginning to end, no one dared to look at the eyes of the Third Kazekage.
perhaps.
Such a curtain call.
This is what he thinks is the best relief!
Just like when people encounter some extremely embarrassing social death scenes, they want to dig out a place with their toes and crawl into it.
"Why… "
The third generation Kazekage glanced at the dead ninja. Even though there were many angry things to say in his heart, they were meaningless. The top priority was to continue to move forward.
"Chiyo..."
"It all depends on your performance."
"Maybe this is the disaster for our Sunagakure Village!"
The Third Kazekage understands that at this point in time, it is too late to do anything. What he can do now is to hope that Chiyo can handle such things better.
…
Almost at the same point in time.
In the Cloud Hidden Village of the Kingdom of Thunder, a ninja responsible for intelligence also returned in a hurry.
Raikage's office.
The three ninjas were telling the story of how Namikaze Minato suddenly appeared to turn the tide and reverse things when the ninja army in Iwagakure Village was about to advance triumphantly.
"interesting."
After hearing the reports of these ninjas, the third generation Raikage did not show the despair of the Kazekage at all, but had eager eyes.
"Pity."
"Those people in Kirigakure Village are constantly harassing us."
"Otherwise, I really want to try for myself how powerful that Namikaze Minato is!"
"Able to resist the ninja army of Iwagakure Village with the strength of one person."
"It wouldn't be the same if it were me!"
There was absolute confidence in the eyes of the third generation Raikage. It felt as if he was the strongest person in the ninja world. He did not have any fear at all because of the emergence of Namikaze Minato. Most of them are like martial arts idiots who want to compete after an opponent appears.
"but… "
"The manpower sent out now is definitely not enough."
"Let Xiao Ai go exercise."
"Bring Kirabi with you too."
"They are about the same age, and we should let them see what their peers have already achieved."
The third generation Raikage said with a smile. He did not realize the seriousness of the matter at all. This was something that happened almost every day after the loss of the soul-level Uehara Ruri in Cloud Hidden Village. They showed a complete mess at the decision-making level. look like.
"yes."
The ninjas of Cloud Hidden Village on the scene immediately responded. There was no eager look on their faces. After all, their leader had no reaction at all. It seemed like a trivial matter, and it might as well have been worse than the constant attacks from the side. The ninjas of Kirigakure Village deserve more attention.
