A fighter from Hyuga

"Pfft~"

Unable to help but laugh out loud, Sarutobi Hiruzen once again looked at Nawaki with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

This guy Rope Tree...it must be very difficult for him to survive in this team, right?

"Since Rope Tree-kun has some opinions about me, I must listen carefully."

But no matter what, now that things have come to this, Sarutobi Hiruzen must give a result.

When Sheng Shu heard this, he was stunned. How should he say this?

Tell the Hokage in front of him that after becoming the Hokage, he will make him realize what true pain is?

Even a fool knows that these words should not be said, right?

"But we are in war time after all, and time is precious, so how about we talk about this after the war is over?"

Looking at Nawaki who was already starting to get nervous, Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled and asked Nawaki.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Shu shouted loudly, looking like a drowning man grabbing a straw called "life".

"It's war time after all, can you please work hard for a while?"

After he finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen grabbed Shusi's arm without leaving a trace and continued speaking to Shusi.

"I know, I know. We'll set off tonight."

Shusi nodded when he heard this and did not refuse Sarutobi Hiruzen's order again.

After all, if he continued to refuse, it would create problems for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Of course, it’s not impossible, but it’s not necessary.

"Well, during this mission, learn from your captain."

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in satisfaction and said to Nawaki and Mikoto.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the two men immediately stood up straight and replied to Sarutobi Hiruzen in a sonorous and powerful voice.

"Do you want me to die? Hinata Shuji!"

With a gentle smile on his lips, Nawaki watched Sarutobi Hiruzen leave, and then turned his head to look at Shuji.

His face suddenly became ferocious.

"stop!"

Looking at the Rope Tree that was striding towards him viciously, Xiu Si immediately stretched out a hand and shouted loudly.

"what?"

When Sheng Shu heard this, he was stunned and looked at Xiu Si with some confusion.

"Here, two people, think it over before you act."

Upon hearing this, Xiuji pointed at Mikoto beside him, then pointed at himself, and finally said to the rope tree.

Hearing this, Nawaki subconsciously looked at Mikoto who was standing beside him.

Seeing this, Mikoto slowly placed one hand on the hilt of the knife behind her back and smiled gently at Nawaki.

Subconsciously, Sheng Shu took half a step back.

no……

Isn't this too bullying?!

……

And just when Yuyin was caught in a dilemma.

The Sunagakure clan prepared to retreat back to the village.

Konoha was also preparing for the final harvest.

Some information has also been passed to Kumogakure, Iwagakure and Kirigakure.

There was no way, the noise Xiu Si made was too loud.

Therefore, it is not that difficult to obtain this information.

Iwagakure office.

Oonoki looked at the intelligence scroll in his hand, and his brows suddenly furrowed tightly together.

The Kazekage died at the hands of Konoha?

How can this be done?

"Sir, we must intervene in the war this time, right?"

Seeing this, Wen Shou, who was standing nearby, immediately cautiously probed towards Oonoki.

Hearing this, Oonoki immediately raised his head expressionlessly and looked at Wen Shou in front of him.

Intervention is definitely necessary.

Ohnoki didn't mean that Konoha must pay a certain price in this war.

After all, if it was just a battle between the three villages of Sand Village, Amegakure and Konoha.

Even if Amegakure and Sand Village were combined, it would be impossible for them to defeat Konoha.

Even though the Shodaime and Nidaime Hokage are no longer around.

Even though Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was already very old.

However, this is only possible relying on the rich resources of the Land of Fire and the foundation accumulated by Konoha over the years.

It cannot be defeated by Amegakure and Sunagakure alone.

But...you can win, but you can't be too...

It can be said that Konoha's victory was inevitable in Ohnoki's mind, but Sunagakure was directly defeated in this battle.

That was something Oonoki really hadn't expected.

That was the Sandaime Kazekage, who was called the strongest Kazekage in history by the Sand Village...

So, is it that Sand Village is too weak, or is Konoha too strong?

But no matter whether Sunagakure is too weak or Konoha is too strong, Ōnoki knows that he can no longer continue to wait and see.

If Konoha is allowed to continue like this in this war, Sand Village and Rain Village will definitely be completely drained by Konoha.

As a result, Konoha became the biggest winner in this war.

How is this possible?

But looking at Bunkariya in front of him, Ohnoki couldn't say the word "intervention".

"Ugh……"

With a somewhat helpless sigh, Ōnoki took out two blank scrolls from the drawer and began to write quickly.

They could intervene, but Iwagakure certainly couldn't do it alone.

Kirigakure and Kumogakure must follow along.

Otherwise, Iwagakure wouldn't mind dividing Amegakure and Sandagakure with Konoha.

Chapter 147: A Ninja World Only Needs One Kage

As for whether Konoha is willing to give up some of its benefits...

Oonoki thinks Konoha will.

After all, given the current situation on the battlefield in the Land of Rain, as long as a third-party force intervenes, the dawn of victory that Konoha has just seen will completely disappear.

No one can say for sure who will win in the end.

However, Konoha will inevitably fall into the quagmire of a long war once again.

However, relatively speaking, Ohnoki is more inclined to unite with Kumogakure and Kirigakure to put pressure on Konoha.

It would be best to force Konoha to give up some of its interests without taking any action.

There is no need for Iwagakure to fight a life-and-death battle with Konoha now. In this war, Iwagakure has already earned enough wealth just by selling supplies.

Now, Iwagakure only needs to put enough pressure on Konoha in the final stage of this war, and Iwagakure can easily gain additional wealth.

Afterwards, Iwagakure only needs to transform these riches into strength bit by bit during the subsequent peaceful times.

"Next, we will focus our efforts on eliminating the intelligence personnel lurking within the Land of Earth and within the village.

At the same time, notify the leader of the jonin squad to mobilize some ninjas to the border of the Rain Country to carry out war missions."

Oonoki took out three blank scrolls and wrote something on them while speaking to Bunkariya.

Before putting pressure on Konoha, some necessary measures must be taken.

For example, build a camp on the border of the Rain Country and mobilize some ninjas to garrison there.

As for if there is no fighting in the end, will such an investment cause losses to the Iwagakure Village?

Stop joking. Ohnoki knows one thing very well: there will be a war between Iwagakure and Konoha.

There is one ninja world, but there are five Kages.

This won't work, this is too much.

A ninja world only needs one Kage.

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Shou nodded heavily. With shining eyes, he did not leave, but stood there waiting for Oonoki's next order.

Soon, Ōnoki sealed the three written scrolls and handed them to Bunkari.

"Give these three scrolls to the jonin squad, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure respectively."

"Yes!"
