From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 407 The Alliance of Three Villages
The news that Konoha Jonin Asuma Sarutobi had captured eight thousand Kumogakure ninja and sealed the AB combination spread like wildfire throughout the ninja world in a very short time, bringing only a silent silence.

The entire ninja world fell silent for a moment.

The other three major ninja villages simultaneously withdrew their forces. The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, led his troops back to the village immediately, consolidating all the ninja forces within the village and constructing multiple lines of defense.

Iwagakure halted its pursuit of Kumogakure, and all its ninja forces returned to their villages. Kirigakure, which had been eager to make moves, also ceased its previous military mobilizations...

Everyone started to observe and wait.

Asuma's formidable power in this battle was chilling, and the third war was put on hold until more detailed information was obtained.

Iwagakure, Tsuchikage's Office
Onoki threw the intelligence report on the table, his heart filled with regret.

Why the hell would I be so shameless?
Why did I launch a sneak attack on Kumogakure?
Raikage, why are you so aggressive?
If you had left a little earlier, you wouldn't have died on the battlefield, and I wouldn't be in this dilemma now!
If I had known that another monster had appeared in Konoha, I wouldn't have fallen out with you!

Unfortunately, it was too late.

One of the Cloud Village's Kage has died, and the backup Kage has been captured alive by Konoha. From now on, it will be a fight to the death with Iwagakure!
"Father, what should we do next? Why don't we take this opportunity to send troops to Kumogakure and directly occupy the village?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Upon hearing this, Onoki felt a pang of heartache. He stared straight at the yellow earth and said, "Do you believe that as soon as we send out our troops, Konoha will release those eight thousand Cloud Ninja and the AB combination? With Konoha's support, we will definitely lose."

"Why did Konoha let them go?" Huang Tu asked, looking puzzled.

"You, get out!" Onoki had no time to teach his son anymore. He pointed at the door and shouted angrily, "Don't show your face in front of me for the next few days."

Huang Tu stared blankly at his father, completely bewildered, until Onoki roared again, at which point he reluctantly left the Tsuchikage's office.

"Ugh--"

Seeing Huang Tu leave, Onoki let out a heavy sigh.

They're both sons, so why is there such a big difference between them?
However, now is not the time to think about this.

"Fire!"

Suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, he called out.

Hikari, an elite Jonin of Iwagakure, is proficient in Earth Release, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu. In terms of overall combat strength, he is currently only second to Onoki, who uses Dust Release, within Iwagakure.

"Lord Tsuchikage."

"Go to Sunagakure immediately, find out the current situation there, and if possible, form an alliance with them as soon as possible."

"An alliance?!" Huoguang was stunned. According to the original strategy, shouldn't they have taken advantage of the fact that Kumogakure and Sunagakure were both weakened, ambushed Kumogakure first, and then launched a large-scale attack to sweep through Sunagakure? How did it turn into an alliance?
“Good, an alliance.” Onokiji sighed softly. “The situation has changed. Now is not the time to start a major war. The Konoha Sarutobi clan seems to have developed an incredible bloodline limit, capable of capturing eight thousand ninja soldiers and the new generation of the AB combination single-handedly. Such combat power would be a nightmare on the battlefield. After this battle, Kumogakure is no longer useful and will inevitably become a puppet of Konoha. Therefore, the plan needs to be adjusted!”

One person forming an army, and not even seeing the limit of this bloodline limit, such a thing was something from a long time ago with Wood Release.

Wood Release!
Thinking of that ninja god who swept across the world back then, Onoki couldn't help but feel a chill. We must never let another monster like that appear!

————I am the dividing line————

"Has another monster emerged in Konoha?!"

Hidden Mist Village, Water Shadow Building
会议 室

The high-ranking officials of Kirigakure gathered together. The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, looked at the scroll in his hand, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

New bloodline limit

A nine-year-old Kage-level powerhouse

Captured the AB team and 8,000 ninja soldiers in one battle

……

This result shattered his understanding.

"Lord Mizukage, should we send someone to investigate?!"

Inside the office, Master Yuan sat quietly to one side, while Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish spoke in a deep and solemn tone.

With the appointment of the Fourth Mizukage, the Blood Mist policy has ended, which should have been a good thing.

But who could have imagined that problems would suddenly arise within the Hidden Mist Village?

Three of the Seven Ninja Swords, who were as famous as him, suddenly and inexplicably appeared in Konoha and assassinated the Konoha delegation, which happened to include the current Fourth Kazekage...

When the letter of accusation from Konoha arrived, not only was he stunned, but the Mizukage was also stunned; they had no idea what had happened.

It's impossible to deny it.

Because the three swords did indeed appear in Konoha and did indeed assassinate the Sunagakure delegation. It wasn't just Konoha's side of the story; there was also the testimony of the Sunagakure. The assassination happened in full view of everyone, the three swords were in Konoha, and the assassin who was killed was the owner of the three swords who had suddenly disappeared in Kirigakure.

How can you deny that?

Before they could even come up with an excuse, the situation in the ninja world suddenly changed. The Hidden Cloud Village launched a surprise attack on the Hidden Sand Village, only to suffer a crushing defeat at the border of the Hidden Leaf Village. Subsequently, the Raikage was killed in battle...

These bombshell announcements left the Hidden Mist Village members stunned. With so much explosive information piled up, even Yagura, who had only recently taken over the position, didn't know what to do. That's why this Jonin meeting was held.

"Teacher Yuan, what do you think?!"

Yagura turned to look at Genshido.

Master Yuan raised his head and said calmly, "The most urgent task is to understand the detailed information about the Condensation Release. From the current perspective, this kind of bloodline limit is not very powerful. It is more of a sealing bloodline limit. It can create something similar to a gel. It is very sticky. Combined with a wide range of ninjutsu, it can seal the entire battlefield in a short time. Even the Eight-Tails was sealed."

He paused for a moment, then said, "According to intelligence, this bloodline limit was developed by that ninjutsu professor. So, besides that father and son, are there any other members of the Sarutobi clan who possess this bloodline limit? If so, to what extent? These are all factors to consider. It would be extremely unwise to fight against Konoha on the battlefield before we have a clear understanding of this information."

"We have no intention of being enemies with Konoha, but regarding the Sand Village delegation..."

“It’s no longer important,” Master Yuan shook his head and said. “Send an envoy to Sunagakure and form a secret alliance with them. They won’t pursue the matter of the envoy group anymore.”

"Why?!"

The head of the Kaguya clan looked completely puzzled.

“Master Yuanshi is right. Here’s what we’ll do: Bingzhi, please take some men to Sunagakure and form an alliance with them,” Yagura said to Bingzhi, the head of the Yuki clan. “Also, Mangetsu, please take a team to Iwagakure and form an alliance with them.” At this moment, Yagura also understood this point. A monster had emerged in Konoha. Not only did Kirigakure not want to see it, but Sunagakure and Iwagakure also did not want to see such a powerful figure appear. Under such circumstances, an alliance between the three villages was almost an inevitable choice.
