Juggernaut of the Moonlight Family

Chapter 313 The Seven Ninja Swordsmen

The reason why Raikage III was able to move his heart immediately after hearing that Iwagakure had suffered a loss is actually related to the "drag" tactic mentioned by Hiruza Sarutobi before.

With Orochimaru personally in charge, it is undoubtedly delusional for Yun Yin to make too much progress.

Especially when Orochimaru signed a contract with Ryūji Cave, and was able to psychic out a giant psychic beast like Wanshe.

On the battlefield, these large psychic beasts, whether it is the deterrence they bring to the enemy or the actual lethality, are huge.

In every ninja village, the upper ninjas are the handful at the top of the pyramid. In times of war, the real main force is undoubtedly the lower ninjas.

And not to mention the ninja, even the ninja who are the backbone of each ninja village and lead each ninja team have almost nothing to do in the face of a terrifying giant psychic beast like Wanshe.

Fortunately, because of the previous rampage of the eight tails, many junin in Yun Yin have the experience of fighting the eight tails, so they can always resist the joint impact of the Orochimaru and the ten thousand snakes, otherwise, if the ten thousand snakes rushed into the Chunin Among the ninja, Yunyin's loss is estimated to be several times heavier than it is now.

However, it doesn't stop there.

Konoha, who was inferior in number, was unable to push Yun Yin's front line out, and Yun Yin was also unable to quickly advance the front line to the land of fire as planned, and the two sides could only remain in a stalemate.

It has been nearly two weeks since the war started, but no breakthrough has been achieved. This is the main reason why the Sandaime Raikage was immediately moved after hearing the news that Konoha deliberately spread.

Compared with continuing to confront Orochimaru head-to-head, taking advantage of the fact that Iwagakure was unprepared, and many Iwagakure powerhouses, including Tsuchikage Onoki, went to the front line to confront Konoha, they launched an attack on Iwagakure in one fell swoop. Undoubtedly, raids can achieve more results.

As for whether this is betraying its allies, whether it will be despised by others, for a person, there may indeed be troubles such as uneasiness of conscience, but for a country, and a country that has been chasing expansion, it is obviously not There is a little psychological barrier.

. . .

If it is said that Yunyin planned to turn around to deal with Yanyin because he saw that he could not get much advantage from Konoha, then Wuyin wanted to deal with Shayin, because he wanted to take advantage of the fire.

Among the four hidden villages, although the land area of ​​the Land of Wind where Sand Yin is located seems to be the largest, because most of the land is sand, and after the Second Ninja World War, the daimyo of the Land of Wind stopped appropriating funds , the Kingdom of the Winds, which appears to be the largest in terms of area, is actually the weakest among the five major countries.

This point will not be improved until Rasa succeeds the Fourth Kazekage and begins to refine sand gold from the sand to support Sahikaku's finances.

If the plot is allowed to develop according to the original plan, then in a few years, the Third Kazekage will be poisoned to death by the scorpion and refined into a human puppet, and Luo Sha will be ordered in danger.

But now, the war started several years earlier, and the Third Kazekage is at its peak, and Rasa is just a Jonin of Kazakage who has hope to compete.

Not that much power, nor that much thought.

Therefore, Hidden Sand is still in a financial crisis, and the years of friction with the Land of Rain before the war has also greatly dragged Hidden Sand down.

So much so that the war had just started for a few weeks, and Sha Yin's finances were already stretched.

What's worse is that this time, Sunagakure is facing his old rival Sakumo Hatake. Many Sunagakure ninjas can't help but feel panicked just by hearing this name.

Cooperating with the elites of the major families who have continuously joined Anbu under the various means of the third generation in the past few years, after the war began, the Anbe led by Hatake Sakumo has been invincible all the way, and once again pushed back the Sagakushi attacking force.

In desperation, Sandaime Kazekage even had to go out in person to finally stabilize the situation and stabilize the battle line in the desert of the Land of Wind.

Considering the difficulty of supply in the desert, and the tone set by Hiruza Sarutobi before the war started, Sakumo Hatake chose to withdraw from the desert voluntarily.

But even though Konoha withdrew, anyone could see that at this point in the war, Konoha had firmly grasped the initiative, and he was just concerned about the situation in the other three directions.

As for the consequences of this.

If the Allied Forces win in the end, Sha Yin probably will have a deep understanding of the feelings of the Italians who participated in the Paris Peace Conference after the victory of World War I.

If the coalition forces fail in the end, then they probably have to experience the mood of the Italians after World War II.

It is also when seeing that Sagakure is so unbearable, and the elders including Sandaime Kazekage, Chiyo, Ebizo, etc. are firmly restrained at the front line and dare not move, at sea, any action is covered by the vast sea Kirigakure also had an idea in his heart.

After all, Sayin is not like Konoha. There are so many red eyes and white eyes in the village. Before they arrive under the cover of the sea, they can detect their arrival and warn them, turning the sneak attack into a frontal force.

. . .

As Hokage, Hiruzaru Sarutobi personally dispatched, sitting in the country of grass, to deal with the attack of Iwagakushi, while Konoha's internal affairs and guard work were handed over to Shikashin Nara, the squad leader of the ninja class.

As the hard-core confidant of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the three major families of Inokacho are one of the backings that Sarutobi Hiruzen can secure the position of Hokage and implement so many improvements.

Therefore, when he left, he would hand over everything to Shikako Nara.

As Hokage's think tank, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's plan this time, although Shikashin Nara did not object in the end, he still couldn't help but be full of worries in his heart.

Since the outbreak of the war, although it seems that Konoha has one against four, showing the demeanor of the top five powers, but as Hokage's think tank, Nara Shikashin knows in his heart that this is actually because of Konoha when the war broke out. At the price of exhausting potential from the very beginning.

The other four major powers, such as Yan Yin and Sand Yin, even if they were defeated for a while, they would be able to immediately send out backup forces to continue the war.

But if Konoha fails in a certain direction, even if it's just a small failure, the consequences will be very dire.

Because Konoha can no longer organize any backup forces that can support it.

Now patrolling around the village and responsible for guarding the safety of the village are all children who have just graduated, and they are the kind of children who have already graduated from the fifth and sixth grades, but the children who graduated early in the third and fourth grades.

Because the children in the fifth and sixth grades have been assigned to various troops and went to the front line.

It can be said that as strong as Konoha looks on the outside, it is weak on the inside.

If the war drags on like this, Konoha will be the first to be unable to bear the collapse.

"Phew, I just hope that the situation envisioned by the third generation of masters can appear, otherwise, if this continues, the situation will deteriorate."

As the helm left by Sarutobi Hiruzen, whenever Nara Shikako sees through the window those children who are only about ten years old who come back to hand over the task, he can't help but use this similar method to relieve the pain in his heart. in tension.

At the same time, he was also praying in his heart that the frontline troops could tie the fence tighter, so that the enemy's elite Jōnin squad would not be allowed to enter the country.

Today's Konoha doesn't have much power to clear these teams.

Moreover, as the enemy's elite squad sees through Konoha's reality, Sarutobi Hiruzen's seemingly life-threatening strategy will be seen through, and by then, Konoha will really be in danger.

But even though Hiruzen Sarutobi had foreseen these possible crises when he proposed this strategy, he still chose to agree in the end.

Because as a think tank, he knows very well that for Konoha today, there is no other strategy that can achieve the result of winning with one against four.

Konoha has no choice at all.

. . .

"Sure enough, just as Master Genshi predicted, Konoha only looks strong on the surface, but is completely vulnerable on the inside."

In the Kingdom of Fire, in a not-so-remote forest, a man with shawl-length hair, a big mouth, and two long knives behind his back spoke while fiddling with the fire in front of him.

"Heh, with one against four, Konoha has already been called the strongest village in the ninja world."

On a branch of a big tree not far from him, a man with short black hair, no eyebrows, and a huge "cross" scar on his right cheek under the eyes spoke.

And when he opened his mouth, the sharp shark-like teeth set off his whole body in an extremely ferocious manner.

Coupled with the big knife as thick as a door panel leaning on his back, Po has a daunting feeling.

"Hmph, I'm just afraid that the rest of Konoha's guys are too weak to let me enjoy myself."

Under the tree, a black beard and two strands of hair hung down together, one eye was covered by a black cloth, and the top of his head and neck were wrapped in bandages, beside him was a thin and thin man who looked like a scroll with a knife handle. With a snort, he took over the conversation.

And around this area, the other four men who were lying, lying or standing were also strange in shape, with weapons like knives on their sides or on their backs, and the shape was exactly the same.

However, they have one thing in common, that is, on their bodies, they can all find the forehead that represents the identity of the ninja.

The four wind-blown raindrops mean that they are Kirigakure's ninjas.

There are seven Kikakure ninjas with different shapes, and each of them has a long sword with the same different shapes. The identities of the seven are obvious.

It was Kirigakure's "Seven Ninja Swordsmen".

. . .

There is a saying in China.

"What are you afraid of?"

Westerners sum it up as "Murphy's Law".

Similarly, when Nara Shikako was so worried that he would ask for it through prayer, the situation he was most worried about obviously happened.

A few years in advance, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen still could not escape the inertia of history. They detoured the land of soup and sneaked into the land of fire through the gap between the two ninja troops of Konoha.

As for why Kirigakure sent the elite Seven Ninja Swordsmen into Konoha before deciding to attack Sand hidden, it is entirely because of the two opposing political forces of Kirigakure.

Although Senshouzhujian and Uchiha Madara signed a covenant to jointly establish Konoha, and other hidden villages followed suit after the establishment, the new hidden village system produced many innovations, but some ancient systems continued to be preserved.

The elder system is one of the most classic ones.

Because I have seen and encountered a lot in my life, the experience and lessons of the old people are precious experience for the young, and it is also of great benefit to preserve the family in troubled times.

So almost every family will have those old people who are no longer able to help the family in strength, but can still bring benefits to the family through wisdom and experience.

After the family groups became hidden villages, this system continued naturally.

But "Oranges grown in Huainan are tangerines, and oranges grown in Huaibei are oranges."

The same system, but the situation in each village is different.

In villages like Yanyin and Yunyin, the elders have very little influence because of Ying's high status.

As for Shayin, Konoha, the power of the elders mainly depends on whether Zaiwei Ying is strong or not.

In the face of powerful shadows like Brother Qianshou, the elders naturally have little say. However, in the original plot, facing young shadows like Luo Sha and Yong Daimei, the elders are more powerful.

But the two sides are still more like a cooperative relationship, fighting without breaking.

Only the hidden fog is more wonderful.

Because the second-generation Mizukage and the second-generation Tsuchikage died together, although the third-generation Mizukage could successfully succeed, they could no longer control everything like the second-generation Mizukage.

A lot of power is completely controlled by the elders.

The reason of the elders is also very high-sounding.

Beware of another Mizukage who started a war without authorization because of personal grievances in future generations, and eventually died with the other party.

The battle between the two sides can be described as tragic, and reached its peak when the fourth Mizukage was in office.

The brutal policy of the Blood Mist Village, although there are factors manipulated by Uchiha Obito, but it can be maintained for so many years without being suspected is obviously not just because no one dares to doubt Mizukage.

In the final analysis, it was the power struggle between Mizukage and the elders that forced Kirigakure ninja to choose sides.And once you have a stand, it becomes reasonable to do no matter how terrible the behavior is.

This can be seen from the fact that after the death of the fourth Mizukage, Kirigakure did not choose the fifth Mizukage as his successor. Until the Gokage Conference, the elder had no choice but to appoint Terumi Mei to succeed Mizukage.

That's why the Seven Ninja Swordsmen sneaked into the Land of Fire at this stall this time, not the Land of Wind.

Compared with Mizukage, who wants to obtain greater benefits more easily, the elders still "never forget" Konoha.

Because these elders who have lived long enough and experienced enough believe in their hearts that Konoha cannot be as powerful as it appears on the surface.

Therefore, in order to express their attitude, and at the same time to explore the reality of Konoha, and finally find evidence to deny the Mizukage's decision to attack Sunagakure, the elders sent out the seven most elite ninja swordsmen and sneaked into the Land of Fire.
