Konoha declared war, and this news spread throughout the entire ninja world almost that year.
The ninja world has been peaceful for three years, although such tranquility is meaningless to many small countries because they still live in water and fire.
After all, they are not the Kingdom of Grass and the Kingdom of Tang. Of course, many of them do not want to be a member of the Kingdom of Grass or the Kingdom of Tang at all.
Even though they basically have no power, and their power has been stripped away one by one by their neighboring big country ninja village, they only have control over one-third of an acre of land.
But even if they only have one-third of an acre of land, it is a manifestation of power for them. They are really unwilling to give up this little control in their hands.
Especially after Konoha takes over those places, they will directly strip away everyone's power, and then re-customize and distribute them according to Konoha's way.
It is impossible for them to have any chance or luck, and even for those who are disobedient, the consequences are clear at a glance, that is, Konoha will send them directly out of the biosphere!
Konoha has never concealed its approach on this point. Countless people in the Land of Grass and the Land of Yu have been sent away. This is definitely something that makes them scared.
But facing Konoha, they really have no choice, especially the small country controlled by Sunagakure Village, they are even more worried.
But no matter what the worry is, it has no actual effect, because Sunagakure Village is asking for it this time, and no matter what Konoha does, it is justified.
Now they can only pray that Sunagakure Village has prepared a coping mechanism, otherwise they will really have to accompany Sunagakure Village to the funeral.
The interior of Sunagakure Village was also in chaos at this time. They had received the information in advance from spies stationed in Konoha, so they still had room to prepare and maneuver.
They contacted Konoha almost immediately and told Konoha that all these actions were the Fourth Kazekage Rasa's own actions, hoping that Konoha would forgive them.
And they are willing to compensate Konoha and continue to maintain an alliance with Konoha.
During the Third Ninja War, Konoha chose to forgive them, and now they hope that this state of affairs can continue.
But what shocked them greatly, but was not particularly unexpected, was that Konoha ignored them at all, and the declaration of war was still announced to the entire ninja world!
At this moment, all of them knew that they no longer had any room for maneuver, and the only choice they could make now was to fight.
But how to fight this?
Konoha's soldiers are strong, their morale is high, and their war plan is well-founded. No one can say that Konoha's choice is wrong.
Looking back on them, the elite troops were completely defeated in Konoha, and only the garrison was left.
Although the garrison has a large number of people, its overall strength is really just that. Their high-end combat effectiveness is almost extinct due to various reasons.
The most terrible thing is that their weapon of war deterrence, Ichibi, is probably now in the hands of Konoha according to intelligence.
Konoha, which had already mastered the nine-tailed beast, the strongest tailed beast, now has another one-tailed beast in its hands. This is definitely bad news for Sunagakure and them.
"How will Iwagakure and Kumogakure respond now?"
In the Kazekage building, Chiyo asked tiredly, "There is no shadow in Sunagakure Village now, and no one else has that ability at all."
Under such circumstances, the task of commanding and coordinating the entire Sunagakure defense fell on the old man Chiyo.
"They didn't give any answer."
Ebizo sighed helplessly, and then gave an answer that Chiyo least wanted to hear.
"They said we brought it upon ourselves, but it was indeed untimely for Konoha to have two tailed beasts in its hands, so they supported them, but did not help us."
Giving all support except aid doesn’t mean giving nothing?
"Are they crazy?"
Chiyo hammered the table hard, and she asked in disbelief.
"Konoha is so strong now, and they have the precedent of annexing the Country of Grass and the Country of Yu, and they have now taken action against the Country of Yu and the Country of Tea.
If they were allowed to conquer the River Country again, who else in the ninja world could resist Konoha?
Do they want to see the Konoha family dominate? Don't they know that only by uniting against Konoha at this time can they truly contain Konoha?
It’s okay for this young man Kirabi to go crazy, why did Onoki also go crazy?
Now Konoha is annexing small countries, and in the future it may annex big countries. Who can stop Konoha then?"
Chiyo was really incredibly angry right now, but no matter how angry she was, she was just helpless and furious in the face of that cold rejection.
After a long time, Chiyo slumped on the chair, looking a little sad.
Ebizo stood silently beside her. This matter had reached a point where no one could end it, and they were the creators of this matter.
It was they who provoked Konoha, it was they who provoked Konoha, it was they who pushed all of this to an irreversible point.
Now it's really difficult for them to end it, and they really don't know how to end it. They have to think of a way.
"Notify, all troops in the Kingdom of Rivers will enter the Kingdom of Winds."
After a long while, Chiyo finally spoke helplessly.
"Konoha has declared war on us, and besides revenge is profit.
If they want the Kingdom of the River, we will give it to them, but if they want to enter the Kingdom of the Wind, they must break their hands!
We need to use actions to tell them where our bottom line is, and we need to let them know what they can and cannot do.
That's it, you can inform me."
After saying this, Chiyo seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. She sat there blankly without saying a word, while Ebizo sighed deeply, then turned and left.
The issuance of this order means that Sand Hidden Village has completely lost the fertile land of the River Country and half of the River Country's mission share.
It also lost the access from the River Country to the Fire Country and lost an excellent transportation hub.
This time, Sand Hidden Village will be at the bottom of the five major countries.
Although they were at the bottom before, in the Country of Rivers they can still continue to recover and find ways to improve.
Now they have lost this place, their most important pillar, and they have almost nothing.
All they have left is the vast desert and the endless sorrow.
And they can only watch all this happen, and they are completely unable to change it...
...
There was mourning in Sunagakure Village, but it was a different scene in Konoha Village.
The casualty statistics of Konoha have already been concluded. Although Konoha did suffer some losses, the losses are really not particularly large.
You must know that this is a village with a population of more than 100,000 and 200,000, and they still encountered a sneak attack.
The reason why Konoha's losses were reduced to such an extent was that the Security Department played a huge role in it.
It can be said that without the Security Department, even if Konoha's top brass knew that Sunagakure Village was going to be attacked secretly, they would never have been able to reduce the number of casualties to such a level.
The situation is very, very good now. Although it cannot be possible for everyone to be fine, war can never be without death.
At this point, all the top brass in Konoha have been mentally prepared.
Therefore, after the results came out, Konoha immediately announced all various pension and subsidy plans.
Those injured will also receive free assistance and treatment. It can be said that Konoha has made all preparations.
They will not let the injured become a burden, nor will they leave the victims and their families helpless.
Moreover, Jiraiya also suggested that after the war against Sunagakure Village ends, Konoha should hold a village-wide funeral.
This kind of thing naturally has the support of everyone, after all, they all sacrificed and were injured for Konoha.
In addition to this aspect, Konoha has also started a mobilization plan.
Although Konoha did not carry out full-scale mobilization, the Konoha ninjas who were holding back their breath were particularly enthusiastic.
It took almost only two days for them to complete the mobilization and assembly. This time, the number of people who would participate in the Sunagakure War was set at 8,000.
These eight thousand people include Konoha's internal mobilization and border defense forces.
Eight thousand is not a small number. The total number of ninjas in Konoha is only tens of thousands. After all, training ninjas is very difficult.
Moreover, Konoha needs to deploy troops in various places for defense, and many of Konoha's ninjas are civilian staff and genin in school.
Therefore, with 8,000 people transferred at once, it can definitely be said that Konoha is 'full of sincerity'.
"The war is about to begin again."
In the hazy night, Habara and Kotonoha were walking through the streets of Konoha. After dealing with various things for the day, they could finally call it a day.
Yan Ye looked at Konoha, who was already on alert, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
However, her voice was very low and her eyes were always lowered. It was obvious that she was still a little uncomfortable with Ha Yuan at this time.
This situation has been going on for a while. Strictly speaking, she is not such a person, but when the relationship deteriorates, she really can't handle it.
"Yes, war is coming again, but there won't be any problems in such a war."
Ha Yuan smiled, then reached out and took Yan Ye's hand.
Yan Ye didn't resist, she just glanced at Yu Yuan and lowered her head and continued walking forward.
"By the way, I originally planned to visit your home, but something like this happened unexpectedly. I'm sorry."
"Some things really can't be helped."
Yan Ye didn't know how to answer for a moment after hearing Yu Yuan's words. In the end, she could only give such an answer.
Could it be that she had to say that she was also sorry? Isn't this a joke?
Just walking, Ha Yuan suddenly frowned slightly, someone was waiting for them in front.
In other words, this person is actually waiting for him.
This made Ha Yuan a little curious. He didn't know why this person was looking for him, because strictly speaking, they had no intersection.
If we really want to talk about the relationship between them, then the hatred between them must be greater than anything else.
Besides, why is this person still in Konoha? Why hasn't he left yet?
Han Yuan didn't want to understand these questions, but no matter what, this person was looking for him, and Han Yuan couldn't pretend he didn't see anything.
Thinking of this, Yu Yuan suddenly turned his head and looked at Yan Ye with a smile, and then he said slowly.
"Actually, you don't have to look like this.
Maybe you are shy, or maybe you feel that the change in our relationship will make you feel distressed.
But I want to tell you that I have always liked Yan Ye who is lazy, dares to speak and act, and treats me as a friend.
There is a big gap between your appearance and Yan Ye in my memory, which also makes me very distressed.
I don't know if your family said something to you, or if you think you should do something.
But I tell you no, you don’t need to change anything, just be yourself, that’s the best thing.”
Yu Yuan has always seen Yan Ye's changes. Although this change is indeed quite novel, Yu Yuan really can't say whether it is a good thing or not.
And for him, the Yan Ye he had known since childhood really disappeared because of the change in their relationship, and that was the biggest regret.
Everyone has their own unique soul, which Yu Yuan has always recognized. He doesn't want Yan Ye to change so much that he doesn't even recognize her anymore.
After saying this, Yu Yuan did not wait for Yan Ye to reply. He gently pinched Yan Ye's face, and then disappeared from the place with a teleportation technique.
Ye Ze was stunned for a while, and finally she shook her head, feeling dumbfounded.
"You are the same bastard as always, Hahara."
What kind of changes Yanye had, Han Yuan didn't know for the time being, because at this time he had already left the place and came to a big tree not far away.
His chakra clearly sensed that the guy was waiting for him here, and he kept moving as he moved.
This approach couldn't be more clear, and Hahara also adheres to the principle of asking if you don't understand something clearly. He doesn't believe that this guy will do something without objection.
"Come out, you've been following me for so long, I think you have something you want to say, right?"
Habara said calmly. He did not concentrate chakra because he did not think a battle would break out at all.
As long as there is nothing wrong with his mind, this guy will never cause trouble for him, especially at this juncture.
"Your Excellency Hahara's acumen is truly incredible, and Your Excellency Hahara's strength is also breathtaking."
After Hahara finished speaking, a voice came from behind, and then a short figure also walked out of the shadows.
"Please forgive me, Sir Hahara, for my rude behavior, because I really hope to have a good chat with you."
"oh?"
Ha Yuan raised his eyebrows, then nodded slightly.
"Then I'd rather obey your orders than respect. I wonder if the Third Tsuchikage has anything to say?"
...
In fact, Hahara really didn't expect that the person following him would be Ohnoki.
Onoki, on the other hand, looked at the young man in front of him with great emotion, the young man who had shocked him three years ago.
To what extent this young man has grown to now, he no longer dares to guess, because this is an area that he simply cannot touch.
It was unimaginable to be so powerful, so powerful that it shocked people's hearts. He could only comfort himself by saying, "Uchiha is worthy of being the darling of God."
Because he saw the shadow of Uchiha Madara in Habara, even beyond the existence of Uchiha Madara!
Such a person makes it impossible for him to get out of Uchiha Madara's shadow, and even the shadow of Uchiha Madara in his heart has turned into Habara.
Madara Uchiha only threatened him back then, but Hahara actually fought with him, defeated him, and snatched the Country of Grass from him.
Moreover, Habara is still growing and transforming towards a higher level. Such a person shocks and scares him more than Madara Uchiha back then.
In fact, if possible, he really didn't want to meet someone like Hahara alone.
But with the One-Tail falling into the hands of Konoha, and Konoha having declared war on Sunagakure, it is conceivable that the River Country will fall into Konoha's hands.
No one can imagine how powerful Konoha is like this, at least Ohnoki really doesn't want to think about it.
But as the Kage of Iwagakure Village, he had to do something, and he really didn't think that Konoha's ambition would only be a River Country.
He really couldn't help but guess that Konoha might have already set its sights on the Kingdom of Wind!
"Habara-dono, the reason for interrupting me this time is actually because I want to know what Konoha wants."
Onoki sighed, and then spoke firmly.
"Konoha is already strong enough, and now Konoha has taken over the Kingdom of Waves, and is starting to attack the Kingdom of Waves and the Kingdom of Whirlpool.
This time after taking over the River Country, Konoha has reached its peak in terms of mission share, personnel reserves, resource abundance, access to the sea, etc.
Such a powerful Konoha, Hahara-dono, how do you think other villages will view it?
Moreover, I'm afraid you guys won't return the One-Tailed One to Sunagakure Village. So, having mastered the One-Tailed One and the Nine-Tailed One, you have already reached the extreme in terms of hard power.
Moreover, Konoha still has invincible beings like you, as well as Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Fugaku, the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade and other strong men.
Aren't you afraid that this will cause uneasiness among everyone in the ninja world and lead to the Third Ninja War happening again?"
In the Third Ninja War, Konoha single-handedly blocked the pursuit and interception of the four major ninja villages. This can be said to be a feat.
Of course, it was a fluke that Konoha won that time, because there was no trust between the major villages at all.
While they were attacking Konoha, they also had their own little thoughts in private.
This also resulted in no cooperation between them, and even more so, Kumogakure and Iwagakure were directly confronting each other, which completely put Konoha out of trouble.
But after Hahara listened to Onoki's words, he couldn't help but look at Onoki with a playful expression, while Onoki looked at Hahara with a solemn expression.
After a long while, Hahara sighed faintly: "Your Excellency Tsuchikage, today is different from the past, so what if Konoha is besieged again?"
Having said this, Hahara paused slightly, and then he continued speaking meaningfully.
"You couldn't work together back then, can you now?
There was no me in Konoha back then, but now can you really stop me?
Moreover, the background of Konoha is beyond your imagination. Do you still remember the person who sealed the first tail? Don’t you think that guy looks familiar?"
"The person who sealed One Tail?"
Onoki's face was already a little ugly at this time, but he still tried hard to maintain restraint and calmness.
He carefully recalled the situation after Yiwei appeared. In his memory, Yiwei was immediately controlled and resealed as soon as he appeared.
This monster did not have time to pose any threat to Konoha. From this, we can see the strength of Konoha.
But Ohnoki actually didn't see clearly who solved Ichibi.
The distance was too far, and it was really impossible for him to observe all the things she had, such as whether she had a white eye or something like that.
But now that he recalled it, he seemed to find that the guy looked familiar. As for why he looked familiar, he hadn't figured it out yet. Maybe he was one of Konoha's more powerful ninjas.
However, Onoki would never think that this matter would be that simple. After all, being led out by Hahara alone, no matter how he thought about it, it might not be simple.
"I don't know how long Mr. Tsuchikage will stay in Konoha. If it lasts long enough, you will know who that person is, and you will also know what the truth is in my mouth."
Habara's expression became more and more playful. He did not tell Onoki the truth behind this. After all, some things were better explored by himself.
"As for our purpose of Konoha in your mouth, it is actually very clear. You may have asked others this question, but they were unwilling to answer you.
In fact, I am the same, but the difference between me and them is that they are not willing to say anything, but I am willing to tell you some interesting things.
I wonder, Lord Tsuchikage, what do you think of the current ninja world?"
"In today's ninja world..."
Onoki couldn't help but frown when he heard this question. He didn't know how to answer for a while.
Today's ninja world seems peaceful, but he is still very clear about the undercurrents surging beneath this peace.
Peace is just an appearance. Once the needs of each village's own development cannot be met, the war will inevitably reignite.
Isn't Sunagakure Village the best example?
"Can't you say it? In fact, you and I both know it well, don't we?"
Seeing Ohnoki's hesitation, Habara couldn't help but chuckle.
"There is no peace in the ninja world. Throughout the ages, ninjas have been fighting for their own interests.
Now, with the construction of the village, the ninjas have begun to fight continuously for the benefit of the village.
The village needs development, but the resource distribution in the ninja world is not broken. Under such circumstances, the only way to truly develop is to find ways to plunder other people's resources and land.
The Land of Rain during World War II, Sunagakure Village during World War III, and you and Kumogakure Village, which one did not have this idea?
Peace is the furthest thing from the ninja world, but it is also what we have been pursuing."
Having said this, Hahara paused slightly, his eyes fixed on Onoki, and then he spoke quietly.
"Actually, I have always hated Senju Hashirama for letting you bastards survive and build villages one after another.
But things have happened, and I can't kill them all. After all, they have already formed a concept.
However, my desire for peace has never stopped. I have been thinking about how to make the ninja world peaceful and how to make war truly disappear.
So I made some attempts, some interesting ones that are open to all of you.
As for the results, aren’t all of you visible and tangible?”
Habara's words were not loud, and he spoke them very calmly, but at this moment, in Onoki's ears, these words kept ringing like thunder!
To be honest, no one really thinks or thinks about Habara's attempt at peace.
But Onoki instantly guessed what Habara meant. The Country of Yu and the Country of Grass are his works!
At this moment, these two countries have been completely integrated into the Fire Nation system, and have completely accepted Konoha's entry and integration.
These two places completely belong to the Land of Fire and Konoha!
In this integration, the two places have completely formed a peaceful situation and a stable situation.
This is something none of them have ever accomplished, and this is something they all aspire to do.
But now that Habara has said these words, it can be said that he has completely admitted his ambition, and it can be said that it has completely confirmed Ohnoki's inner uneasiness.
He had always guessed what Konoha was thinking, and had been determining how far Konoha would go. Now he got the answer.
And this answer made him break out in a cold sweat, because it was definitely an extremely terrifying answer!
"Are you...are you crazy?"
Onoki looked at Habara in disbelief. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the way he looked when he faced Madara Uchiha decades ago.
"You know whether I'm crazy or not, and I didn't say anything."
Hahara shook his head calmly, and then he looked at Ohnoki and smiled.
"But the ones I'm making trouble about now are all small countries. If I want to prove my idea, I have to start from some places where the resistance may be stronger.
Although some places have few resources, harsh environment and climate, and great geographical and transportation problems.
But those places are also the best places to prove my ideas. It’s just right to be a little harsher, and complementary resources can lead to common development. Isn’t this a good thing?”
"How much blood do you have to cause before you will be satisfied!"
Onoki gritted his teeth and said at this moment, his body had begun to tremble.
"I don't want to bleed, but sometimes there is no way to bleed necessary."
Ha Yuan shook his head, sighed and said softly.
"We are actually the same people, born in the ninja world, speaking the same words and having the same understanding.
However, Senju Hashirama's indulgence allowed the careerists to establish their own territory one after another, and the careerists caused wars in the ninja world in order to develop.
And I just uphold a simple concept of hoping for peace, and I have put it into practice.
As for the bloodshed, it is not my fault. The blame is on those careerists who are unwilling to bring about peace and unwilling to give up the power in their hands.
It was them who made their own people bleed like rivers..."
.....
While Konoha and Sunagakure Village were preparing for war with each other, Madara Uchiha had quietly arrived at a dense forest in an uninhabited land within the Land of Fire.
Seeing the trees in front of him and the gravel on the ground, Uchiha Madara sighed quietly in his heart, and then he walked forward slowly.
As he continued to go deeper, the sunlight in this place became less and less. The dense forests and gravel blocked the sunlight, but the cold atmosphere became heavier and heavier.
But Uchiha Madara didn't pay attention at all. He continued to walk forward, and he stopped when he reached the deepest part of the dense forest.
"Fire Release: The Art of Fireball."
Uchiha Madara formed a seal with his hands, and the next moment a huge fireball flew into the air.
This fireball instantly burned down all the cobwebs that were confused around it, and also ignited the torches hanging on the trees. Strangely, this fireball did not burn down half of the trees!
Under the light of the fire, everything in the depths of the dense forest appeared particularly clear. At first glance, it turned out to be a cemetery.
Countless stone tablets are erected here, and names are engraved on these stone tablets. It is obvious that this is the earliest ancestral grave of the Uchiha clan!
Uchiha Madara walked slowly forward to a stone monument. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the stone monument. The owner of this stone monument was Uchiha Senna.
"Quenna, long time no see..."
Uchiha Madara murmured softly, and then he fell completely silent.
He stood there quietly and motionless, silently watching everything in front of him and falling into endless contemplation.
He himself didn't know how long it had been since he came here. The last time he came here was probably when he left Konoha.
And after that, he was a ghost floating over the ninja world. He was dominating everything, changing everything, and planning everything.
And today he came here again, which also means that he has changed.
After a long time, Uchiha Madara came back to his senses. He gently touched the stone tablet again and then stepped back.
"Quenana, I don't know if we can meet again, but now I have been affected, and I don't know if what I want to do is right or not.
But in this world, there is a young man who misses me but he does what you desire most. He makes the family prosperous and changes everything in the family.
Although I think his words are very meaningful, he is really like me, a person who fulfills your dreams and also fulfilled my dreams back then.
So I decided to give it a try, and I decided to take a closer look, hoping I could see something different this time."
After saying this, Uchiha Madara turned around and walked not far away.
This is the ancestral grave of the Uchiha clan, and most of the valuable documents of the Uchiha clan for thousands of years are buried here.
This was what Uchiha Madara took with him when he left Konoha. Since he wanted to understand it well, he must investigate it carefully.
He wanted to see what kind of idea Han Yuan was planning...
