Escape From Konoha Chapter 569

  Chapter 569 Time

   "I'm so sorry, Tsunade, to bother you at this time. A banquet to celebrate your becoming Hokage should have been held here."

  In the room, after ordering the waiter next to him to make tea, Daimyo apologized to Tsunade, his attitude full of sincerity.

   "It's okay, I was just a little surprised by what I saw today. However, Your Excellency's decision really surprised me."

  Tsuna picked up the teacup in his hand, took a breath of hot air, raised his eyes slightly, as if he was observing the actions of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

  The fire country daimyo covered half of his face with a folding fan, so that people could not perceive his expression.

   And he is also carefully observing Tsunade's actions.

  According to inaccurate news, Tsunade has a relatively friendly relationship with a certain minister of the Oni Kingdom, which is also one of his concerns.

  Of course, he is not questioning Tsunade's loyalty to Konoha, or even the Nation of Fire, but as a daimyo of a country, he has to think clearly about the overall situation he has arranged.

   At the same time, he was also telling Tsunade that as Hokage of Konoha, it is best not to have too much involvement with the enemy. Even if there is really something involved, it must be cut off decisively, and no one can be left behind.

   After all, he didn't want to see another chaotic Konoha.

  Danzo made a mistake in the operation before, the third Hokage was assassinated, and the Konoha management system suddenly became a mess, which scared him enough.

  He didn't want such a mistake to be repeated among Konoha again.

  Konoha is the military guarantee of the aristocratic group of the country of fire and the cornerstone of rule, and there must be no mistakes.

   "Well, it's just the current situation, and I was forced to join forces with the other daimyos to make such a decision. As Hokage, you should not be difficult to see the causal relationship. This era was built by your grandfather with all his life, and the actions of the kingdom of ghosts are destroying everything that your grandfather built. This is really hateful."

  The fire country daimyo put down his folding fan, drank green tea, and directly pushed the ghost country to the enemy of one country and one village.

  In fact, at the beginning, when the Kingdom of Ghosts defeated the Kingdom of Wind, although he felt angry and helpless, considering that the Kingdom of Ghosts was far away in the west of the mainland and did not border the Kingdom of Fire, even though he felt angry and helpless, he never thought of attacking the Kingdom of Ghosts.

   In terms of opportunities, there are also opportunities.

   That is the land of waves.

   This was the time when he first felt dread and fear towards the Kingdom of Ghosts.

   Subsequent speculations have been verified step by step. The kingdom of ghosts has opened up the arms market in the ninja world with its strong military power, and gradually manipulated the war market between small countries. Some wars in some small countries happened to affect the noble group, weakening the power of the nobles. It also happened that part of the ruling power of the country was stolen by the bottom.

  These coincidences are too sudden and timely, and behind the scenes there is the shadow of the kingdom of ghosts.

   It was also at this time that he became somewhat aware of the threat of the ghost kingdom.

  The horror of this country does not lie in its powerful military power, but in its behavior and thinking. It keeps digging up the roots of these people, trying to dig the graves of their ancestors.

  It was only then that the daimyo of the country of fire realized that if the country of ghosts was not sanctioned, the situation that had remained unchanged for thousands of years in the ninja world would definitely be overturned.

   What the Fire Nation Daimyo said made Tsunade unable to refute and fell silent.

  The various systems and policies of the ghost country are indeed incompatible with this era, which cannot be denied. Even she, to a certain extent, believes that the system and ideology of the ghost country are better and can better change the world.

   But if the method of the ghost country is to be practiced, it means that the foundation of the system will not lie in one country and one village. To put it bluntly, this is the crystallization of her grandfather who exhausted his life's hard work. At the same time, it is also subverting the power of traditional nobles, provoking their lofty status as 'monarchs', and pulling them down from their high altars.

   This is something that every hereditary monarch would find it difficult to agree with.

  Thinking about it this way, the daimyo of the Land of Fire joined forces with other countries to make a secret agreement to jointly target the Kingdom of Ghosts. It was not an unreasonable act of trouble, but a foresaw of some extremely terrifying possibility.

   "I think the other three kages have also made it very clear to you that this war is inevitable, and it is nothing more than the difference between earlier and later. As Konoha's Hokage, I hope you can take on Hokage's due responsibilities in the days to come."

   Tsunade just listened silently, and did not express his views or opinions.

  The fire country daimyo saw this and continued to drink tea, but did not force Tsunade on this matter.

  As Hokage, Tsunade must understand what his stand is.

   That is Konoha.

  This position, no matter who it is, is difficult to change.

  Her connection with Konoha is more intimate than the so-called blood relationship.

  Because of seeing through this point, even though the fire country daimyo knew some of Tsunade's small movements, he was indifferent to it.

  As long as the other party cannot betray Konoha's position, then all worries are unnecessary.

   It's like, he can't betray the position under his ass, the family.

"I see."

   Tsunade bowed his head heavily, as if trying his best to say such a sentence from his mouth.

  She didn't criticize the fire country daimyo, because from the standpoint of the opponent, eliminating the ghost country is indeed the most beneficial method for herself.

   This is no longer a question of who is right and who is wrong, but that the two sides are fighting for their respective positions, interests, ideals, and classes.

  As for how many people will die once a war breaks out... this kind of question is really ridiculous.

  She is not Ziraiya, she can see clearly... In this era, life is valuable, and it is cheaper than paper.

  The war-free world her grandfather imagined probably never existed from the very beginning.

   "Then I'm counting on you, Tsunade. I believe that if your grandfather Hokage had a spirit in the sky, he would be gratified. Konoha, it was his life's work. And in order to survive, this is the justice we must practice now!"

  The laughter of the fire country daimyo echoed in the room.

   After staying in Damingfu for 16 hours, Tsunade held three meetings with Tsukage, Mizukage, and Kazekage here, and there was almost no time to sleep and rest.

  The first meeting established a rough procedure, the second meeting negotiated the materials needed for the war, and the transportation route, and the third meeting agreed on the time to attack the ghost country.

  Although most of the time, it was the other three who discussed, but she would occasionally interject a few words.

  It's hard to say whether the mood is complicated or not. In short, after the three meetings, Tsunade felt that his mind was blank, so that he didn't even know what was specifically discussed in the meeting.

  If Lu Jiu hadn't memorized the content of the meeting, she might have forgotten the content of the meeting the moment she walked out of the meeting room.

  In general, this is a military operation by four major powers against another major power.

  The method adopted is to advance both land and water.

  As the leader, Konoha will fire the first shot.

  At that time, the Land of Winds and the Land of Earth will open the way and remove the blockade on the path, allowing Konoha's ninja troops to drive straight in, directly bordering the territory under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Ghosts—that is, the Kingdom of Bears.

  Konoha will contain and destroy the ghost country army in the bear country area.

   When the first shot is fired, the Wind Country will enter from the southwest of the Bear Country, forming an offensive to encircle Konoha.

  Iwain will directly deploy powerful troops from the eastern part of the ghost country to contain the eastern troops of the ghost country and further disperse the power of the ghost country.

  Finally, Kirigakure's ninja troops will attack from the sea to defeat the navy power of the Oni Land.

  Four countries, attacking from four directions, even if it is the country of ghosts, it will be difficult to take care of both ends.

  As long as the morale of the ghost country can be suppressed in the first place, then it will be very simple for the ninja troops of the four-nation alliance to annihilate the resistance of the ghost country.

   But among them, there is a difficulty that needs to be solved.

  If this problem cannot be resolved, then even if the resistance force of the Ghost Kingdom is wiped out, the Quadruple Alliance will eventually lose its vitality.

   That is who will deal with the difficult problem of Chiba Shiraishi, Uchiha Ruri, and Hyuga Ayane.

   And this problem was first raised by Tsunade.

  When raising this difficult problem, they also received solemn feedback from the other three shadows.

   Therefore, if this puzzle is not solved, then the attack time is difficult to determine.

  The military operations deployed before are also likely to have accidents at that time.

  Because each of these three people has the strength to rival the Five Kages, or even surpass the Five Kages level ninjas.

   And under the three of them, how many head ninjas there are in the kingdom of ghosts is also something they can't determine.

  These three people are just the three people standing at the top of the Pyramid of the Kingdom of Ghosts, but below them, there are still an unknown number of high-strength ninjas.

   Their names, characters, and abilities are completely blank.

  The result of this was that the discussions in the third meeting ended without a problem.

  Continuously thinking about such a problem without a break for 16 consecutive hours is also a hard job for the four shadows.

   "This is the last meeting. All uncertain factors must be worked out in this meeting."

   Less than two hours after the end of the third meeting, the fourth meeting started.

  There are only six hours left for the four shadows to gather in the Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire.

   That is to say, during these six hours, they must determine all the processes, take into account uncertain factors, and give solutions.

   "We now have a general understanding of the information about Chiba Shiraishi, Uchiha Ruri, and Hyuga Ayane. To put it bluntly, it is difficult for the four of us to restrict the actions of any of them alone. In this, according to the fragmentary information provided by Konoha Jiraiya Jonin, Chiba Shiraishi has the ability to create clones. Among them, the clone named Chiko has the terrifying ability to eliminate chakra. And his fire clone can release a huge chakra in an instant. Carat, we also need to pay attention to the large-scale explosive ninjutsu that may exceed the power of Tailed Beast Jade."

  The Luosha point that spoke first ends.

   But even this information made Onogi and Yagura frown.

  Initially, the source of information about Chiba Shiraishi only knew that he was a medical ninja who had served as a logistics worker in the White Fang team, but he had never heard that he was good at strength.

   But a few years ago on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind, the world changed their opinion of him.

   While having the ability of a medical ninja, he is also a very powerful ninja.

   These avatars of him are worthy of being taken seriously in terms of ability alone.

   "Let me also add. Chiba Shiraishi is more than what Mr. Kazekage said. He also has medical ninjutsu that is not weaker than me, and may even surpass me. Moreover, he has also signed a contract with the slug sage in the wet bone forest. You know the role of the slug sage on the battlefield better than me. I once summoned a split body of the slug sage on the battlefield of the ninja war in the past. rate."

   Tsunade said at this time.

  The information provided by Tsunade made the expressions of the other three people even more serious.

   "Princess Tsunade, you are also the contractor of that fairy, can't you make a fuss about this? For example, terminate his contract with Shibone Forest?"

   Onogi asked.

  At the same time, I feel a little uncomfortable.

  The three holy places of psychic beasts, he was also coveted for a long time.

  As long as you have seen the performance of the Sannin on the battlefield, I believe that no one will not be interested in the Three Holy Lands.

   Tsuna shook his head, expressing that he couldn't control Shibone Forest's will.

  In other words, the slug immortals living in the Wetbone Forest don't care about the standpoint of humans at all.

   "In addition to Chiba Shiraishi, Uchiha Ruri's strength is also terrifying. Her own strength is like a monster. To contain her own actions, a Five Kage needs to do it herself...and at least thousands of elite ninjas to assist."

   Luo Sha's mouth was slightly bitter.

   This is a precious conclusion drawn at the price of blood.

   Moreover, this is only able to restrain the opponent's actions, not defeat, let alone kill.

   "Hyuga Ayane... Ever since she had a short-lived battle with Raikage in the Third Ninja World War, there has been no specific information about her actions after that. The information about her is basically more than ten years ago. But according to the worst estimate, her strength may be at the same level as Uchiha Ruri."

   Did not stop, Luo Sha continued to share the information he had obtained.

   "Not only that, the three of them have been good at combined combat since a long time ago, and the three of them are even more difficult to deal with when they cooperate with each other."

   Tsunade reminded this at the end.

   "According to this, if we want to deal with the three of them, don't we need three ninjas of the Five Kages level, plus more than 10,000 ninjas?"

  Onoki frowned deeply.

  One against a thousand is not difficult for a ninja of the Five Kages level.

  But on this basis, there is also a ninja of the Five Kages level... There are three ninjas of this level in the Oni Kingdom.

   "Exactly. In addition, according to the news from Nami Country last year, the daughter of Chiba Shiraishi and Uchiha Ruri is named Chiba Kazuhime. She seems to have the power to suppress the tailed beast alone. She once fought head-on with Yunyin's Ninao with brute force."

   Tsunade revealed another surprising piece of information.

  Invisibly, this increased the pressure in the hearts of the other three.

   "Is this news reliable?"

  Onoki murmured in his heart. He had heard about this incident, but he always felt that this rumor contained false and exaggerated elements, and he did not take it seriously.

   Luo Sha nodded and replied: "The source of the news is Konoha's Jiraiya Jonin. He witnessed the battle in the country of Na with his own eyes, so it should be true."

   "Therefore, I feel that the military deployment against the ghost country cannot be rushed, and sufficient time is needed to prepare."

   Tsunade spoke slowly, as if considering the overall plan.

   "From Hokage-dono's point of view, when do you think the time should be set?"

  Yakura narrowed his eyes and asked meaningfully.

   Tsunade glanced at Yagura, and replied calmly: "Konoha is still recuperating now, and I also need to deal with various internal affairs of the village. It is not easy to make big moves for at least half a year. I think it is appropriate to take action next year."

   "It's too late next year. I think the sooner the better, it's best to make a decision before June."

  Yakura retorted.

  Onoki and Luo Sha are also inclined to this view. Anyway, what Tsunade said next year is somewhat inappropriate.

  "Mizukage-dono's thoughts are too naive. Before that, Kazun-dono has analyzed the strength of the three people in the Oni Land in detail, and Tukage-dono also said that to deal with those three people, you need three Wukages and more than 10,000 ninjas to have a chance of winning. Based on this situation, the more time you have to prepare, the better."

   "Late is changing. It is not impossible for us to gather three ninjas of the Five Kages level. Even if we add 10,000 ninjas, on average, it is far from a burden for a village."

  Yakura said loudly.

  The date Baishi agreed with him was to end everything before August of this year.

  He also happened to take advantage of the defeat in the war to allow himself to step down smoothly, and Terumi Mei took over the position of Fifth Mizukage.

  If, as Tsunade said, the war will be carried out next year, wouldn't it disrupt the next deployment of Wuyin Village?

   "What about Chiba Shiraishi's daughter? Don't forget, she has the same level of strength as the Tailed Beast."

   "It's really alarmist. Being able to deal with Tailed Beast doesn't mean she can deal with Perfect Jinchuriki. Then I will do it myself. In addition, this is not a village fighting alone, but four ninja villages united to advance and retreat together. I don't think Oni Nation has the strength to stop four ninja villages at the same time."

  Yakura's voice was cold, and he confronted Tsunade **** for tat.

   Tsunade stared back not to be outdone, and glared at Yagura, and a tense atmosphere suddenly appeared in the room.

   Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Luo Sha quickly stopped him and said, "Both of you, please calm down. It's just a discussion stage and it hasn't been finalized yet. Don't hurt your peace."

  Yakura's impatience, Luo Sha understood very well.

  The kingdom of ghosts has begun to get involved in the territory of the country of water, not only touching the interests of the Daming Mansion, but also provoking the status of Wuyin Village, a local snake.

  Yakura, who came to power through a coup, has a strong personality. When encountering this kind of thing, naturally the first thing that comes to mind is to fight back against the ghost country. He is a person who does not like to suffer.

   "I don't have much time left here, and I don't have time to procrastinate here. I propose that in three months' time, that is, in June, four countries will march towards the Kingdom of Ghosts from four different directions."

  Yakura gave his own ideas, and his attitude was very firm.

   "I just took over the position of Hokage, and Konoha's internal affairs still need to be dealt with. Besides, the kingdom of ghosts is powerful. If you want to deal with it too hastily, you need sufficient preparation time. I think next spring is suitable."

   "That's already March and April next year. Lord Hokage is blindly delaying the attack time, do you have other plans?"

  Yakura stared at Tsunade unkindly.

   Tsunade ignored Yagura's questioning, snorted coldly, and sat where he was without saying a word.

   Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was completely cold, Luo Sha also had a headache.

   Both sides have their own reasons, and their attitudes are extremely firm.

  Ya was in a hurry to fight back against the kingdom of ghosts, and it is understandable that he wanted to act as soon as possible.

   And Tsunade doesn't want to start prematurely, because she has to deal with the internal affairs of the village. For her who has just ascended the position of Hokage, this is indeed the top priority, and there are good reasons.

   After all, Konoha's internal management system does have omissions, and personnel need to be re-screened, which is a very troublesome and tedious task.

  So, he set his sights on Onogi, hoping that he would pay attention.

Ohnu also seemed to notice Luo Sha's help, and made a laugch like a loving old man: "If neither of you can agree with each other's point of view, how do you take a step back and settle in the offensive time in December this year. Moreover, in the view of the old man, the country is close to the New Year's Day. Psychological will inevitably decline. We have launched an attack at this time, and we can just take a surprise country. "

  Luo Sha sighed secretly.

   In this way, there is no need to wait until next year, and at the same time, there is ample preparation time, and the choice to march in the severe winter is absolutely unexpected.

   Sure enough, Yagura and Tsunade frowned after hearing Onogi's proposal, considering the pros and cons.

   "Although it is still a bit slow in my opinion, the proposal of Lord Hokage is at least more valuable than that of Lord Hokage. Yes, I agree with this proposal."

   After thinking for a while, Yagura agreed with this statement and marched this winter.

  There is not much time left for him to stay in Daming Mansion, Nation of Fire, and he must quickly decide on the attack time.

   "Princess Tsunade, what do you say? What do you think of the old man's proposal?"

  Onogi looked at Tsunade and asked what she meant.

   "Okay. Just follow this time."

   Tsunade nodded in agreement.

  Seeing that Tsunade and Yagura agreed, Luo Sha prevented any accidents and said directly: "Then, the attack time will be officially set as December, and march in winter. In this way, everyone will have no problems, right?"

  Onogi, Yagura, and Tsunade no longer had any objections, and reached an agreement on the marching time.

  (end of this chapter)
