Chapter 234 An iron curtain spanning the ninja continent and surrounding Konoha has landed

It is undeniable that Konoha is an insurmountable mountain for all forces aspiring to become the number one in the ninja world.

From the beginning of the establishment of Konoha, the two founders of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, Konoha has always stood at the top of the ninja world.

Originally, everyone thought that after the death of these two generational strong men, Konoha's strength would weaken, but the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Mito and Senju Tobirama stood up again to defend Konoha's interests.

Moreover, it was not until the deaths of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara that all the forces in the ninja world suddenly discovered that it turned out that Konoha was more powerful than just the top experts. With the blessing of many ninja clans, Konoha's mid-level and high-level ninjas The number is also the highest in the ninja world.

It's just that all of this was previously overshadowed by the glory of the two powerful men, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. It wasn't until their deaths that Konoha, suppressed by their grace, began to shine.

Therefore, during the First Ninja War and the Second Ninja War, many forces unanimously prioritized attacking Konoha.

It's just that during the first Ninja World War, each of them fought independently, and in the Second Ninja World War, it was the Three Kingdoms Alliance.

The failure of the Second Ninja World War to encircle Konoha also made everyone realize that in order to defeat Konoha, either the four major ninja villages must unite, or they must first devour the remaining ninja villages to increase their strength, and then fight Konoha decisively.

Now that the blockade of Kirigakure and Sunagakure Village has failed, it is impossible to suppress their strength before the Third Ninja War, so as to quickly annex them in the war, and then declare war on Konoha.

The four major ninja villages united to destroy Konoha first, which became the most realistic solution before Kumogakure.

If you want to defeat Konoha and reach the top of the ninja world and realize the long-cherished wish of three generations of Cloud Hidden Village, this method is the most realistic and feasible plan.

As the head of a village, the Third Raikage couldn't really be a brainless fool.

In other words, years of practicing the Thunder Chakra mode gave him unparalleled determination. When he found that it was impossible to economically blockade Kirigakure Village and realize his previous plan, he would terminate the plan very decisively and turn to another way.

In the original work, he is willing to leave the 30,000 troops alone to block the Iwagakure Village, which is a manifestation of this decisiveness.

"Well... in that case, Tutai! Without further ado, go and discuss an alliance with them now!"

After the Third Raikage thought for a while, he suddenly had an idea in his mind, and immediately ordered Dodai to hand over his autographed letter to the leaders of the other Three Kingdoms Ninja Villages.

"Konoha has sat on the throne of being the number one in the ninja world for too long... It is the Kumogakure Village's turn to sit on this throne."

The Third Raikage looked at the Kumogakure Village looming outside the Raikage Building among the floating clouds with a determined look on his face.

"Every generation has its own mission... Pulling Konoha into the water is the mission of our generation. We must not leave the trouble to the next generation..."

What the Third Raikage hated most in his life was the phrase "leaving problems to be solved by later generations". In his opinion, this was a sign of irresponsibility.

The reason why the seniors are seniors relative to the juniors is not to protect the juniors from wind and rain and resolve conflicts?

If the problem is not solved but leaves a hole for future generations, can the seniors who euphemistically say "believe in the wisdom of future generations" be called seniors?

Since you have found a problem in your position, you must do your best to solve it. Otherwise, why would the village elect you as the Raikage?

Although the position of the Raikage of Yunyin Village has actually become the possession of the Yeyue clan, since the people in the village recognize him as the Raikage, the third generation Raikage will not let them down.

This is the governing concept of his third Raikage!

The Raikage just wants to charge forward.

The Raikage must shoulder the responsibility with iron shoulders!

This is also the fundamental reason why in the original work, since the third generation of Raikage, no high-level rebel ninja appeared in Kumoyin Village!

“I swear to take the land for the village’s plow with the village’s sword!”

——

In Iwagakure Village, Tsuchikage Building, Ohnoki is worried about the village's economy.

Each village in the ninja world has very different village building concepts, but they basically have a common concept, that is, ninjas should pay more attention to quality than quantity.

Ninja villages such as Konoha, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure are all practicing this concept. However, due to economic reasons, the number of elite ninjas in each village is different.

But among all the ninja villages in the ninja world, Iwagakure is definitely a special case.

Iwagakure Village has followed collectivism since the original Tsuchikage Ishikawa.

The "Will of Stone" advocated by him emphasizes on the one hand that personal will should be as strong as a stone, on the other hand it also emphasizes that everyone is a stone and can be replaced. Only when many stones are condensed into one, can we be a building. An impenetrable mountain.

Under the guidance of this kind of thinking, the number of ninjas in Iwagakure Village is the highest in the ninja world.

Normally speaking, in a battle involving less than fifty people, Iwagakure Village will definitely lose;

With about a hundred people fighting, the outcome of the war between Iwagakure Village and the remaining ninja villages was 50-50;

If there are more than a hundred people, then Iwagakure Village will have a high probability of victory.

This is Iwagakure Village under the prevailing collectivism.

However, this ethos has also brought great flaws to Iwagakure Village. First of all, the prevalence of collectivism will inevitably lead to a lack of powerful masters.

Then there is the issue of military spending.

If you want to maintain such a huge ninja army, the funds required are not a small amount.

The Land of Earth has a mountainous terrain and very little land for farming.

Although there are many mineral veins in these mountains, the Earth Kingdom also needs to spend a large amount of money to purchase food from the outside world every year, and the country can only provide so much military expenditure to the Iwa Ninja Village.

After creatively developing the second application field of the ninja profession in Kirigakure Village and seizing a large amount of funds from the Land of Water, Onoki also wanted to follow the example of Kiden i Crescent Moon and follow the trend to establish the Iwagakure Village Construction Development Co., Ltd.

But the dilemma he encountered was greater than that of the Third Raikage.

Without him, the cities of the Earth Kingdom are surrounded by mountains. If you want to build roads between these cities, it means cutting through mountains and rocks. Thinking about the expenses involved will make the Daimyo of the Earth Kingdom despair.

In addition, the daimyo of the Earth Kingdom's obsession with being the best in the ninja world is not as deep as that of the Kingdom of Thunder, so Ohnoki's plan to learn from Kiden Shingetsu was directly aborted.

"Father, it's time to eat."

At this moment, Onoki's son Huang Tu knocked on the door of Tsuchikage's office and walked in with a food tray.

"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat day by day, and the village is almost destroyed by you!"

Ohnoki, who was worrying about the village's funds, became furious after hearing his son's words.

As soon as he saw his son, he immediately remembered another major worry plaguing Iwagakure Village, which was the lack of a suitable successor.

His son's strength is quite reasonable. Although he can't learn how to eliminate "dust escape" with his own bloodstains, he can barely reach the shadow level with his qualifications.

But the key is that his brain is too stupid.

As a shadow of a village, strength is important, but the key is to have at least a little political acumen!

As for his own son, he was so stupid that he didn't seem to be the son of Onoki.

Ohnoki is known as the "Two Scales" in the ninja world, so why did he give birth to such a stupid son?

Ohnoki couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. How come other ninja villages are so lucky and have so many heirs?

Among the other major ninja villages, Konoha is needless to say.

The civil strife in Konoha was ultimately caused by the too high prestige of Konoha's heir, which aroused the fear of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Although the brat from the Yeyue clan in Yunyin Village is still very reckless, Yunyin Village has that kind of temperament, so that brat has no problem as the leader of Yunyin Village.

Chiyo and Ebizo of Sunagakure Village have not aged yet, and the younger generation also includes Rasa and Hayakura, both of whom are good candidates for the Kazekage.

Needless to say, Gui Deng Xinyue and Huang Tu are the same age, and they have actually mastered Wuyin Village for six or seven years now.

And let’s not talk about strength. People’s ideas for developing villages are one after another. The development of Wuyin Village in the past few years is obvious to all. If their foundation was not too weak, they might have surpassed it by now. Iwagakure.

Sometimes the more he wanted to deal with Ghost Lantern Xinyue, the more disgusting Ohnoki looked at his son.

The two of them are both the same age. One has developed Kirigakure Village vigorously, while the other now only knows how to eat. The gap between them is so huge that it is inevitable that Ohnoki will be disgusted when he looks at his son.

"Hey, dad, there is saury in today's meal!"

Huang Tu didn't care at all about his old father's complaints. After all, since the rise of Ghost Lantern Crescent, Ohnoki would always scold him a few times every month, and Huang Tu had long been used to it.

"Eh... you!"

Seeing his son like this, Onoki could only sigh helplessly, stretched out his hand and took the fish on his plate to Huangtu.

For the Land of Earth, which is inland with mountains and few rivers and is far away from the sea, sea fish like saury are undoubtedly a rare luxury. It is obvious that Onoki's actions are enough to show that he does not really dislike his son.

Soon, with the actions of the father and son, the lunch was settled. It was at this time that the ANBU knocked on the door.

"Lord Tsuchikage, the envoy from Kumoyin Village wants to see you."

"Yunyin Village? What does that guy Ai want to do?"

Ohnoki was confused about the purpose of the Yunyin Village envoy, but in the end he ordered his men to bring him in.

Soon, the envoy from Cloud Hidden Village stepped into the room. After a brief exchange of greetings, the envoy from Cloud Hidden Village straightforwardly took out the autographed letter of the Third Raikage and handed it to Ohnoki.

"Hmm... the plan has changed, to win over Kirigakure Village and Sunagakure Village to form an anti-Konoha alliance?"

Ohnoki quickly finished reading the letter from the Third Raikage, and already knew the purpose of coming to Kumogakure Village.

To be honest, Ohnoki was originally opposed to the formation of the "United Vertical" alliance to suppress the "Lianheng" alliance.

It's very simple. The strength of Iwagakure Village is already weaker than that of Konoha and Kumogakure Village. Even if Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure Village are really eliminated, how much benefit Iwagakure Village can reap is another matter. Even if it really can't. Even if there are few benefits, it can’t compare to the amount swallowed by Cloud Hidden Village and Konoha!

It's not like Kumogakure Village, which is only one step behind Konoha in terms of strength. In the desperate situation of betting on the luck of the village, if it draws enough nutrients from Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure Village, it might really be able to defeat Konoha. Ye, but Iwagakure Village can’t do that!

Unfortunately, both Konoha and Kumogakure have already made a decision, unless Iwagakure is willing to join Sunagakure and Kirigakure in meaningless consumption with Konoha and Kumogakure.

Otherwise, it would be better to expect it to sway as an important balancing hand between Konoha and Kumogakure after the two are destroyed!

Now that Kumogakure Village has decided to take the lead in withdrawing from this "joint vertical" alliance and win over Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure Village to form an anti-Konoha alliance, it would not be too wonderful for Iwagakure Village.

After all, if Konoha is really eliminated, then Iwagakure Village will become second. If enough benefits are obtained from the battle to eliminate Konoha, it will not be difficult to surpass Kumogakure Village and become number one.

not to mention……

Onoki glanced at his son, who was standing aside blankly with no special expression, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"If Iwagakure Village continues to be without a suitable heir, and I don't wipe out Konoha while I'm still young and can fight, then when I get old and can't fight anymore, Iwagakure Village will probably become someone else's. It’s a thing!”

Like the Third Raikage, Onoki also wanted to destroy Konoha in the hands of his generation.

However, unlike the Third Raikage, his starting point is not that each generation has its own mission and cannot be left to future generations.

Instead, he was forced to do so by the terrible current situation of the heir in Iwagakure Village.

He was afraid that if he didn't deal with Konoha while he was still able to fight, he might have to go to the battlefield in the future, and he might not be able to live in peace even if he died!

After all, Konoha masters the extremely evil art of reincarnation in the dirty land. Maybe those despicable people in Konoha will take away their ashes, summon themselves from the pure land, and in turn attack the Iwa ninja!

Thinking of that tragic scene, Onoki could not help but shudder, and immediately agreed to the anti-Konoha alliance plan of Kumogakure.

——

On the Sunayin Village side, facing the proactive overtures and invitations from Yunyin Village, they naturally had no objections.

Although with the help of Kirigakure Village, the economy of Sunagakure Village did not decline due to the blockade of the "United Versatility" Alliance. However, with the strength of the two following five ninja villages against the alliance composed of the top three ninja villages, Sunagakure Village The psychological pressure in the village is still very high.

When he heard that Kumogakure Village was not only going to lift the blockade, but was also inviting them to form an anti-Konoha alliance, he was naturally overjoyed and agreed to Kumogakure's request neatly.

As for Wuyin Village, Guideng Xinyue naturally had no reason to object to Yunyin's invitation.

After all, he is against Konoha, but his consistent political philosophy will naturally not cause any trouble at this time.

So just like that, with the help of various forces, the two major ninja groups "He Zong" and "Lian Heng" had been disbanded for less than a year.

Instead, there was an anti-Konoha alliance composed of the four countries of wind, earth, thunder, and water.

In this regard, Ghost Light Crescent commented with great interest:

"From the desert of the Land of Wind to the plateau of the Land of Thunder, from the mountains of the Land of Earth to the ocean of the Land of Water, an iron curtain has descended across the ninja continent and besieging Konoha."
