Juggernaut of the Moonlight Family

Chapter 44 The Footsteps of War

The peace negotiation between Konoha and Yunin finally came to an end, and Konoha and Yunin reached an alliance.

Although everyone knows that this so-called alliance treaty can be torn up by either party at any time, but at least for now, when Yun Nin is still licking his wounds, this treaty is still valid.

Konoha didn't ask too many conditions from Yunin, but only asked that if Konoha and Iwanin clashed in the near future, Yunin would invade the land of earth and share the pressure for Konoha.

Based on the most intuitive geographical conflict between Kumo Ninja and Iwa Ninja, everyone in Konoha believes that Kumo Ninja can still do it.

After all, among the five major countries, the Kingdom of Thunder has always been the most aggressive. As long as Iwanen dares to send a large number of ninjas into Konoha, Yunin will definitely not be able to sit still when he sees the emptiness inside Iwanin.

The alliance with Konoha is undoubtedly the best excuse to take action.

. . .

When the news came, most people among Konoha breathed a sigh of relief, and the cloud of war seemed to have dissipated.

Only the high-level people know that the cloud of war has not only not dissipated, but has become thicker.

The peace talks between Konoha and Kumo Ninja are equal to a signal for the Rain Hidden Village.

A sign of Konoha's weakening.

Otherwise, how could Konoha be so kind as to not ask for any request or any compensation when Yun Ninja was seriously damaged?
Therefore, this covenant between Zhi and Yun Ren must be a helpless move that Konoha was weak and turbulent, and he also did not dare to provoke a war.

This has always been the case between countries. Any sign that seems to make a country look weak will immediately usher in a temptation. If the hand stretched out by others is beaten back with a thunderbolt, maybe peace can be won , but on the contrary, if you continue to appease and compromise for the sake of peace, you will only get more and more in return.

The most typical example is undoubtedly the continuous attempts of failed Austrian painters before the start of World War II.

It is precisely because of the continuous compromises between Britain and France that eventually made Germany's appetite bigger and bigger, and eventually backfired on itself.

. . .

However, for the third generation who has completely secured the position of Hokage, he will obviously not appease and compromise in the face of Yuyin Village's constant temptation.

Although he strongly advocated the peace negotiation with Yunin, if he is regarded as an appeaser because of this, it will undoubtedly be taken for granted.

As someone who experienced the first ninja war and has grown into a unique ninja hero over the years, the Sandaime, who has dealt with many conflicts and wars with Kumo ninjas, may hate war, but he is obviously not afraid of it.

When necessary, it is not impossible to launch a war in person.

After all, compared to the Land of Thunder, which is far away in the northeast corner and has a long and narrow terrain, the Land of Rain is just beside Konoha, and the land is small. Even if a war breaks out, there is no need to worry about being attacked by the land, The two countries of water cut off the back road and were stabbed in the back by the country of wind.

On the contrary, those main fighters who clamored to declare war on Yunin before had a 180-degree change in attitude at this time.

In addition to digesting the benefits just obtained from the third generation and clarifying the family development route, it is also because the Kingdom of Thunder is one of the five major countries. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Konoha may not be able to crush it in a fight. , in order to win, the third generation must compromise with them and obtain their full assistance, so that they can get huge benefits.

But the Country of Rain is a small country with few people, and it is next to Konoha. With Konoha's huge size, it is enough to push it flat. Agreeing to declare war on the Country of Rain is undoubtedly tantamount to giving military merit to the third generation.

Now that it seems that the authority of the third generation is not inferior to that of the second generation, they naturally don't want to see the third generation with the power of victory and become more and more authoritative.

They finally survived the second generation, but they don't want to see another second generation pressing on top of their heads.

But Danzo, the hardcore main fighter who advocated declaring war on the Kingdom of Thunder at that time, was caught in a tangle at this time.

On the one hand, Konoha's majesty cannot be challenged, especially for a weak country like the Land of Rain.

But on the other hand, he never forgets the position of Hokage in his heart, but he also doesn't want to see his old friend accumulate huge prestige through the war against the Land of Rain, making Hokage's position more stable and unshakable.

Because no matter how you look at it, his old friend of the same age will live longer than him who was seriously injured. His only hope to get on Hokage is that the opponent's status is unstable. Sit in the Hokage seat.

Otherwise, if the other party has been sitting in Hokage's position for more than ten years, even if the other party is old and weak, when it is necessary to choose a successor, he will only choose from the younger generation, and it is impossible to choose him, an old guy of a similar age go up.

Therefore, he chose to remain silent.

For Konoha!

That was for the Konoha in his heart, not the Konoha under the control of Sarutobi Hiruzen or others.

The Sandaime, who didn't even have Danzo's support, was quite helpless at this time. He once again felt the same feeling he had not long ago when he first took up the position of Hokage and was hampered by obstacles everywhere he wanted to take a step forward.

But this time, he also knew that there was no solution.

Unless he is willing to hand over this seemingly victorious war to these people who are now opposed to declaring war on the Kingdom of Rain.

But if that's the case, why would he bother to declare war on the Land of Rain?

. . .

Just when the third generation felt powerless and could only watch the situation develop, something happened that he never expected.

Hanzo, the leader of Hidden Rain Village, declared war on the Land of Fire.

At the same time as declaring war, the Kingdom of Rain's request was also raised.

One, of course, is territorial requirements.

Not only Konoha, but almost all other small fruits that are related to the Kingdom of Rain, such as the Kingdom of Sichuan, the Kingdom of Iron, etc., have all had part of their territory "delimited" by the Kingdom of Rain.

The second is the status requirement.

Now that the Fire Nation, the strongest of the Five Great Nations, has been able to request a piece of land, it will naturally have the same status as the Five Great Hidden Villages, so Hanzo formally requested the title of "Rain Shadow".

. . .

Regarding the declaration of war in the Land of Rain, Konoha was stunned. Even the upper echelons who knew in advance that Yuyin Village was restless did not expect that because of the small conflicts in the village, they temporarily ignored the temptations of Yuyin Village. What he did would actually make the other party swell to such an extent.

Not to mention that Hanzo's desire to become the sixth "shadow" is completely wishful thinking, and none of the five hidden villages will agree.The first territorial requirement alone was enough to make Konoha laugh out of breath.

Little Yuyin actually wants to get land from Konoha?

Little brother, have you taken too much salamander, and your whole brain is full of vata?
. . .

The third generation who was still having a headache about how to start a war and hit the land of the rain, was naturally overjoyed when he got the news.

This is really giving pillows when you are sleepy, and ice cubes during the dog days!

And the opposition who had been opposing the Third Generation's war for various reasons before could only scold Hanzo to death in their hearts at this time, while showing the same hatred on the surface, expressing that they would give the Ugakure and Hanzo an unforgettable memory. Lessons.

　After thinking about it, I decided to delete Chapter 3 and re-upload it. Sorry, I will continue with the fourth update today to apologize.
