Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 177 The Only Variable: Hidden Mist! (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader)

While Yubi was formulating detailed plans and schemes for village reform, on the other hand, Kumogakure also elected the Fourth Raikage.

As expected, it was A, the son of the Third Raikage.

At this critical juncture in the war, the Hidden Cloud Village was well aware that it could not be without a leader and had to immediately elect a leader to unite the scattered hearts and morale.

From the outside perspective, it is believed that once the Fourth Raikage takes over, he will definitely take immediate action against Sunagakure to seek revenge.

But no one expected that as soon as the Fourth Raikage took office, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, personally led tens of thousands of Iwagakure troops to invade the Land of Lightning.

The Fourth Raikage reacted swiftly, immediately organizing the Cloud Village army to rush to the front lines to resist.

Judging from the battle reports, Kumogakure is now in a similar situation to Konoha, which was caught off guard by the Sunagakure attack.

After confirming that the Hidden Cloud Village was in dire straits, the Hidden Leaf Village launched a large-scale offensive, even going so far as to transfer top-tier fighters like Minato Namikaze to the Land of Rice Fields to join forces with Orochimaru in an attempt to severely damage the Hidden Cloud Village.

This is also the most intense and grandest point in the current Shinobi World War since its outbreak.

Even the first battle between Sunagakure and Konoha was far from this level of fierce fighting.

"In an instant, Kumogakure seemed to become a victim of a mob attack."

While the current attacks on Kumogakure do not include Sunagakure, the culprit behind this situation is undoubtedly the Fourth Kazekage, Yubi himself.

Without his killing of the Third Raikage, Kumogakure would still be firmly in control of the battlefield.

On the other hand, because Konoha had transferred Minato Namikaze away, and Rasa and others had already arrived at the battlefield in the Land of Rivers, Sunagakure, although fighting against Konoha's army, was undoubtedly facing much less pressure.

Minato Namikaze's importance in the battle between the two villages was undeniable.

Upon receiving the battle reports from the front lines, Yubi immediately analyzed that the conflict between the Konoha leadership and the Uchiha clan seemed to have intensified.

Because their clansmen were abducted by Sunagakure, the Uchiha clan is determined to demand an explanation from Sunagakure and cannot easily leave the front lines in the Land of Rivers. However, considering the current battlefield situation, Konoha's decision to cooperate with Iwagakure in attacking Kumogakure is undoubtedly the wisest one.

If they wanted to defeat or even terrify the Cloud Village in one fell swoop, it would be difficult to completely maintain their advantage by relying on only a few people like Minato.

After all, the military strength of the Hidden Cloud Village is no joke.

Therefore, the Konoha leadership must have wanted to send some of the Uchiha clan members to the Land of Rice Fields. Even a portion of the Hyuga clan's forces were transferred to the battlefield with Minato, but not a single member of the Uchiha clan left.

This already explains the problem.

Even if it means defying the Hokage's will, they must first avenge their clansmen and force Sunagakure to hand over prisoners of war or corpses!

This kind of thinking is a major taboo, whether on the battlefield or in a village!

This is because it clearly places the family's will above that of the community and the village.

They practically made it clear from the start that they were dissatisfied with the Konoha leadership.

Looking across the entire ninja world, perhaps only the Uchiha clan would dare to do such a thing.

"Although all five villages are currently engaged in the Ninja World War, through some maneuvering of the situation, the villages have successfully entered a state of complacency—Konoha, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure will undoubtedly be locked in a life-or-death struggle, leaving them no time to attend to us."

"So—the only one we need to be wary of is Kirigakure."

In the office, Yubi squinted, deep in thought.

Based on his advantage as a time traveler, he can use the memories and data in his mind to indirectly ensure the safety and development of the village.

They secretly fueled the flames, causing the situation in the ninja world to change in the direction they envisioned.

But this is not absolute.

The Hidden Mist Village is a variable.

Whether in the Second Shinobi World War or the Third Shinobi World War, Kirigakure played the role of a troublemaker.

However, because they got involved in the Third Shinobi World War too much, they ended up getting themselves into trouble.

Coupled with the increasingly strong atmosphere of signs of extreme policies in the "Village of Blood Mist," the situation reached its peak after the death of the Third Mizukage and the ascension of Yagura Karatachi.

This caused Kirigakure to suffer losses in external battles while its internal structure also began to decay.

Once the war ended, it also fell into a period of weakness.

However, for Yubi, Kirigakure is not yet at its darkest point; it remains one of the five great ninja villages and retains a certain level of military strength.

It also poses a threat to Sunagakure that cannot be underestimated.

Moreover, unlike Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Konoha, whose fates and situations were clearly defined during the Third Shinobi World War, Kirigakure's actions during the Third Shinobi World War were described relatively little in the original work, so Yubi's "memory advantage" was not as obvious.

Furthermore, the Land of Water, being an island nation, has the advantage of being naturally isolated from the battlefield, which allows them to act recklessly during the Ninja World War.

Yubi also knew very little about the Third Mizukage.

It's impossible to judge this person's character and thoughts.

Therefore, from his perspective, Kirigakure's next actions and plans are full of uncertainties.

No one can guarantee that this mad dog won't target their Sunagakure village.

"If we're talking about the most unstable village internally, Kirigakure is definitely the top choice, even surpassing Konoha—this village also has the highest number of rogue ninja."

"At present, Kirigakure has also launched an attack on Konoha and Kumogakure, but the action is not that big yet—they have been diverted some of their energy. Under these circumstances, even if they want to drag Sunagakure into the fray, the trouble should not be too great."

"However, it seems that Kirigakure and Frostgakure have a close relationship behind the scenes—"

Yubi thought to himself.

Without help inland, Kirigakure would never be able to cause trouble everywhere.

Each of the major ninja villages has a smaller ninja village or country with which it has an alliance.

The reason why the Fourth Shinobi World War spread far and wide was not simply a conflict between the five great ninja villages; the forces and relationships involved were extremely complex.

"The death of the Third Mizukage—is likely related to Madara. That old man, in order to create a usable village for Obito, would inevitably have tried to eliminate the Mizukage before his death, thus disrupting the internal structure of Kirigakure—so that Obito could later easily 'take over' Kirigakure by manipulating Yagura Karatachi."

"This should also be part of his plan."

"Right now—maybe the Third Mizukage has already been taken under Madara's control—"

"spot--"

Yubi felt a pang of anxiety at the thought of Madara Uchiha.

He kidnapped members of the Uchiha clan and spread his bloodline in Sunagakure.

I wonder if Madara and Black Zetsu noticed it—

We have to be wary of these two guys.

Yubi suddenly became wary of Kirigakure because he feared Madara might try to cause trouble in secret.

In summary, looking at the current ninja world, the only place Yubi cannot control is Kirigakure.

Because—there is too little relevant information.

"If there's a chance—we should try to eliminate Black Zetsu and Obito ahead of time. As for Infinite Tsukuyomi—I have no interest in your boring tricks."

"Even if we can't eliminate you—finding a way to expose you doesn't seem like a bad idea—"

Yubi's eyes turned cold.

dong dong.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Yubi snapped out of her daze.

"Lord Kazekage—a message has come from the Daimyo's residence, saying that the Daimyo has suddenly fallen seriously ill and wishes to request your presence."

"understood."

Yubi smiled slightly and nodded.
