Konoha's New Third Hokage

The country of Thunder's formal participation in the war has undoubtedly greatly changed the direction of the war on the Eastern Front. Although the country of water is far away from the mainland, it is difficult for countries without a strong navy to endanger the mainland, but it also cannot unite with other countries.You must know that the country of water is located in the east of the Ninja Continent, and the two countries closest to it are Fire and Thunder. These two countries almost block the route for the country of water to set foot on the Ninja Continent.

Of course, the country of water can choose to bypass these two countries and seek help from Feng and Turkey, but the distance is too far, and the sacrifice is completely out of proportion to the harvest, so it is impossible for them to choose this path.If the Kingdom of Thunder did not participate in the war or did not choose to join forces with the Nation of Fire, then the Nation of Water could still choose to land from near the Nation of Thunder to attack the Konoha ninja troops, but it is now impossible.

After getting this bad news, Mizukage Three Generations knew that their most dangerous time would be next, and it was impossible for them to slowly erode the Fire Nation's defense line.After Yunyin Ninja Village and Konoha Ninja have perfected their tacit understanding with each other, Kirigakure Ninja Village will face a flanking situation. He is not arrogant enough to think that his current stronghold in the Kingdom of Fire can block the two Attack on ninja village.

The third Mizukage convened high-level personnel who are currently fighting outside on the island of Uzumaki to discuss the next battle plan.The current situation is so unfavorable, Kirigakure Ninja Village must immediately open a new situation on the battlefield, if it is unable to gain a firm foothold in the Ninja Continent, it will talk about making profits in this war.

After a detailed analysis of the current defense line established by the country of fire, the high-level officials believe that either the current stronghold established by the country of water will be further expanded, or an equally strong stronghold will be established in the country of thunder, and the two echo each other to establish their own. Only with a continuous line of defense can it be possible to solve the situation of left and right flanking attacks.

"It's very troublesome. The defense line of the Kingdom of Fire is very strong and cannot be broken for a while." The third generation Mizukage knocked on the table gently, frowning tightly, "Then, do you want to establish a stronghold in the Kingdom of Thunder? Now the Kingdom of Thunder has just joined the war. Although it has mobilized a large army, it has not yet had time to completely reach the border. Relying on the convenience of the sea, we can indeed land quickly, but "

"Even if we can preemptively occupy a part of the land and establish a stronghold, if we can't echo with the stronghold here, it will be impossible to stabilize the entire battle situation." A senior executive of Kirigakure Ninja Village continued.

"It's very difficult. Just solving the problem of the road between Huo and Lei is a problem. Opening up a second stronghold in the country of Lei may not have much effect."

"That's right."

"Makes sense."

Soon, one of the plans was vetoed by Kirigakure's high-level officials, and the rest was based on the strongholds in the Kingdom of Fire to further expand the occupied area and establish a solid base, so that the Kingdom of Water could deploy a large amount of military power in the country. Land, and according to the terrain to divide the battlefield where the fire and thunder are fighting together, seek respite for your own side.

"With the current strong defense of the Fire Country, it will be impossible to break through it for a while. Even if we can, we will have to pay huge casualties, and we can't kill so many people." The third generation Mizukage's voice increased slightly.

The Kingdom of Water is the smallest of the five major countries. Only the flamboyant Kingdom of Wind is not much different from it. Moreover, the Kingdom of Wind rarely receives capital investment because it has considerable conflicts with the nobles of the country.However, although the atmosphere in the country of water seems tense due to the cruel policy, at least the two sides have agreed on the surface, and there is no limit to the investment and training of the ninja village. The Kirigakure Ninjas that came out are still insufficient compared to the other three countries.

Now the battle situation is at a stalemate, a large part of the reason is that Kirigakure Ninja Village did not dare to carry out a large-scale attack. In the past, the enemy army showed strong defensive capabilities, occupying a favorable location and stably blocking the army of the country of water in its current position. , still unable to expand the stronghold.

"Then Mizukage-sama means to open up a new situation from other places, but as I said before, it is not a good choice to go to the country of Thunder." One of the senior officials said.

"Yes. Therefore, I decided to open up a second stronghold from the Land of Fire, but not here, but in the south of the Land of Fire." As he said, the third generation of Mizukage landed heavily on a certain place on the map of the Land of Fire. Pointing to the location, "If we can occupy this place, we will be able to echo our original stronghold and force the troops of the Fire Nation to retreat, so that we can build a defense line against the Thunder Nation."

The others immediately looked at the location pointed out by Mizukage, and couldn't help thinking that marching from this place was equivalent to opening a gap in the back of the Country of Fire. The Konoha ninja troops would easily encounter enemies from both sides. They I will definitely choose to retreat and adjust the defense line, and at this time, I can give the Kirigakure Ninja Village a chance to breathe, but the problem is

"This place is a bit far away. Although we can use the navy to move quickly, the Konoha Ninja Village will definitely notice that even if the defensive force there is not very strong, I am afraid that a lot of troops will have to be invested." Someone said, "Moreover, If we want to force the Fire Country troops to retreat, we must also put equal pressure on them. Only by adding the two together can we achieve this goal. Calculated in this way, we will have to suppress almost half of our troops. If we fail,"

"If it fails, we can only run back to the land of water in despair, rely on the marine defense line to prevent them from landing, and then find a way to negotiate a proper armistice agreement." Mizukage Mizukage took a deep breath.

Everyone else was silent, obviously agreeing with the Third Mizukage's conclusion. This is the so-called last-ditch battle. It will either open up a new situation and change the unfavorable situation in the past, or it will be a complete defeat. Even after the battle, the stronghold It can still be maintained, but how long can the stronghold be maintained after losing the favorable space?

"The next step is to fight with all your strength. I don't know how much it will cost." Someone couldn't help but murmured.

"I still have great confidence in the strength of our village ninjas. They will never be inferior to any Konoha ninjas. I firmly believe that they can show unprecedented strength in front of the interests of the village and the country. Let us, including Konoha Those people in Ninja Village were all taken aback." Mizukage Mizukage said seriously, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, as if confirming something.

Feeling the gaze cast by Mizukage Mizukage, everyone reacts slightly differently. The eyes of Mizukage Mizukage Mizukage are so small that they look like a slit, but the gaze cast from that slit is as if The knife light is generally sharp and cold, making people shudder.

"I know that some of you think you should give up this war, because it doesn't look like the war is going well. You should give up when it's time to give up. But don't forget, we are ninjas, ninjas employed by the country. , now the daimyo has not chosen to surrender, but we have chosen to give up. This is undoubtedly a betrayal of our ninja tradition. We can persuade the daimyo to give up the war, but before the daimyo speaks, we cannot relax at all. Once others know, Are you willing to become the laughing stock of the Ninja World?" the Third Mizukage said coldly.

Others lowered their heads one after another, showing pensive expressions, not knowing what they were thinking. At this time, they heard the Third Mizukage continue to say: "Moreover, we have made a lot of sacrifices in the battle so far. Do you think it's appropriate to go back without getting anything? Before we are truly cornered or before the daimyo chooses to give up, we must fight with all our strength and go all out to find out the enemy's shortcomings, and then use them to expand them and gain benefits for us. Opportunity. In the next battle, I hope that each of you can be like this. As long as you go all out, even if you sacrifice, your family, I guarantee that the village will treat them well. But if you are found to be slacking off in the battle or collaborating with the enemy behind the scenes, then Don’t blame me for being heartless.”

When saying these words, Mizukage Mizukage's voice was as cold as ice and snow, so cold that it would soak into people's hearts. Everyone quickly expressed that they would definitely do their best for the village.Some of them even pleaded guilty to Mizukage Mizukage, saying that they were not firm in their will before, but after Mizukage-sama's guidance, they finally understood what attitude they should take towards this war now, and they would never let up.

Then, everyone began to discuss the battle plan for the landing, because this is a battle that determines the direction of the war, and the vast majority of forces must be invested, and there must be no slack at this time.At this time, someone suggested that the tailed beast should be put into this war, and not one, but two tailed beasts should be thrown into it.

"At that time, in the battle to defend the Kingdom of Whirlpool, the performance of the three tails seemed to be like that. Even if a tailed beast is added, is it really possible?"

"At that time, Jinchuriki only used part of the tailed beast's power, which was nothing. Don't underestimate this kind of strategic weapon, and Sanwei is better at exerting its power in the ocean, so its role on land is naturally Not as big as six tails."

"Anyway, this is a decisive battle. We shouldn't be too careful. We should just make good use of the power of the tailed beast. Even if the price paid is a bit high, as long as it can make Konoha Ninja Village and the others suffer, it will be worth it."

"But, there are members of the Uzumaki family in Konoha Ninja Village. What if I don't care about using the power of the tailed beasts and are accidentally snatched away by them?"

"How did they know that we would invest in the tailed beasts at this time, and who else could easily seal the tailed beasts except that old guy Uzumaki Mito?"

"They are allied with the Kumogakure Ninja Village. Since they know what kind of advantage they will have, they should be able to guess what kind of reaction we will have."

"You think they are prophets, according to what you say, what else we will fight, people can predict what we will plan, no one can win."

The meeting room suddenly became noisy, everyone had their own opinions, and as soon as someone said something, others would refute. The third Mizukage did not join in personally, but watched everything from the sidelines.Although the situation seemed discordant, he felt that the atmosphere was better than the silent one before. Everyone was trying to find a way to win the next battle, but it made him more or less relieved.

Although the specific plan has not been finalized yet, everyone has determined two prerequisites, one is to start action in a short time, the other is to use the power of the tailed beast, and at what time and how to use the tailed beast Strength is where Kirigakure's high-level executives are troubled.

Because of the first premise, the pace of discussion among the people was very fast, and it was also because a unified result could not be obtained, and the third generation of Mizukage was not just watching from the side, he was also following everyone's suggestions, Thinking about the next battle plan in my heart.

In the final analysis, the real decision-making power is in the hands of Mizukage Mizukage. Others are just making suggestions. They all understand this, so they can speak freely. shadow support.

"Okay." The moment Sandai Mizukage spoke, all disputes ended, everyone looked at him, and only heard him say: "After listening to everyone's opinions, I have made a decision, the next battle plan Just follow this."

Just after the high-level meeting ended, a series of orders started from it and passed to each ninja team of Kirigakure, informing them of the tasks to be performed in the future.Among them, the Seven Kirigakure Ninja Swordsmen who were established not long ago and are in the limelight have also received orders. They will be the main force in the battle.

Guideng Lengyue lost the right to participate in high-level meetings because of the punishment. However, with the achievements brought by the establishment of the Wuyin Ninja Seven People, they gradually gained the recognition of the village. I believe they can go back soon, but at least for now, He's still just a ninja who obeys orders.

After looking at the order he received, Gui Deng Lengyue let out a soft "tsk". A companion from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen next to him saw it and asked: "Captain, what's wrong with you?"

"It's a pity that I didn't meet that guy Hiruzaru Sarutobi. I still want to take you to meet him for a while." Guideng Lengyue shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "It's all right now, I can only go to other places, or Take an unstable weapon.

Everyone knows the grievances between Onito Lengyue and Sarutobi Hiruzen. They mastered the use of ninja swords after being taught by Onito Lengyue. They also respect him very much and are willing to deal with Sarutobi Hiruzen with him. The person who received the corresponding task said: "That's a pity, Captain, we will help you deal with Sarutobi Hiruzen."

"You have to be careful, this guy is not easy to deal with, but if you can capture him alive, bring him to me." Guideng Lengyue said.

The others agreed one after another.
