Konoha's disastrous defeat in River Country was definitely beyond everyone's expectations.

That day, the ninjas led by Aburame Shiwei returned to the village.

Even if Konoha's top leaders wanted to hide this news, they couldn't. Before long, the sky above Konoha was filled with all kinds of sad and crying sounds.

A thousand ninjas represent not just a thousand individuals, but families. Not to mention, as a ninja, each one is the backbone and future of the family.

Since its establishment, Konoha has never suffered such a huge loss.

But the problem now is that even if Konoha wants to retaliate, it doesn't have the ability to do so.

As the news of Konoha's disastrous defeat spread in the village, other ninja villages in the ninja world received the news almost at the same time from intelligence personnel.

While the Cloud Village and the Iwagakure Village found it incredible, they immediately realized that this was a great opportunity.

The Third Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village immediately seized the opportunity and began to attack Konoha with all his might.

The Third Tsuchikage of the Iwagakure Village naturally did not miss this opportunity.

However, when he saw the information in his hand, he thought of more...

"Is the Sand Village growing so fast?!"

Although the intelligence did not specify how much the Sand Village suffered this time, the fact that Konoha was damaged to such an extent was enough to make the cunning Ohnoki alert.

Luo Sha naturally knew this truth.

Therefore, after the Konoha annihilation plan was a perfect success, it gave up the River Country, transferred all the ninjas of the Sand Village back to the Wind Country, adopted a defensive posture, and announced to the outside world that the Sand Village had also suffered heavy losses.

However, although Luo Sha issued a gag order, anyone who was a member of the Sand Village could tell something from the family members who had returned safely to the village and their smug expressions.

The impact of Konoha's defeat has only just begun as the news spreads...

————————————————————————————

The country of craftsmen.

Like the Whirlpool Country, it is an island country surrounded by the sea.

In the entire ninja world, the Country of Craftsmen is still somewhat famous.

Because the Land of Craftsmen is one of the few countries in the ninja world that excels in producing various ninja tools.

But this did not bring wealth to the Country of Craftsmen. On the contrary, due to the small size of the country, they became the target of exploitation by the big countries. The ninja tools they forged were bought by the five major countries at extremely low prices, and the entire country became an arsenal for the five major countries.

Therefore, both the Country of Craftsmen and the Ninja Village in the Country of Craftsmen: the Ninja Village of Craftsmen, are planning opportunities to escape from this status.

However, the strength of the five major countries has never given them any chance.

until today...

The courtyard is filled with classical Japanese style.

A man in full armor was half-kneeling facing an old man in white clothes with white hair.

"Guan Le, what do you want from me?"

The man named Guan Le bowed his head and said respectfully.

"Leader, I am here to ask you to allow me to leave the Artisan Ninja Village!"

The white-haired old man's expression immediately changed and asked.

"Why, Guanle, do you want to betray the village?"

Guanle shook his head.

"No... Chief, it is for the future of the village that I want to leave the village."

Guan Le said as he took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it over.

The white-haired old man took it with a frown, opened it, and asked in confusion.

"what is this?"

"Chief, you heard about the battle between Sand Village and Konoha in River Country two days ago!"

The white-haired old man nodded and said with some emotion.

"I never thought that the Sand Village, which has always been at the bottom of the five great ninja villages, would embarrass Konoha one after another and suffer such heavy losses. But what does this have to do with us? Don't forget, we can only survive among the five great nations by remaining neutral."

Guan Le nodded.

"Of course I know this, but that was when we were unable to escape the control of the five major powers. Now, I see an opportunity..."

"How to say?"

Guan Le looked at the scroll in the white-haired old man's hand and said.

"Because of my curiosity about the Sand Village, I went to the Sand Village in person yesterday under the pretext of transporting ninja tools, and then I saw this. The Sand Village is now trying to solve the terrible traffic problem in the Sand Village. Those who can come up with a solution will be granted the status of the village elder. I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Artisan Ninja Village. If we can become the village elder, we will have a chance to get close to the tailed beast!"

The white-haired old man's eyes lit up.

"Keep talking!"

"Hey, as we all know, among the nine tailed beasts in the entire ninja world, only the Jinchūriki of the Sand Village's tailed beast Shukaku is very old. I'm afraid it won't be long before the Sand Village will find a way to create a new Jinchūriki. And no one in the entire ninja world is better at making ninja tools than our Takumi Ninja Village. If we can find an opportunity, perhaps we can seize Shukaku's power and revive Lord Qingming. At that time, our Takumi Ninja Village can use Lord Qingming's power to conquer the entire ninja world and no longer have to become an arsenal for the five major countries..."

The white-haired old man was obviously very interested, but he was also hesitant...

"Is it really possible? If we fail, I'm afraid our Artisan Village will face a catastrophe..."

Guan Le's eyes were very firm.

"We in the Artisan Village are good at making ninja tools. Even if we can't become the elders of the Sand Village, it shouldn't be a problem for us to lurk in the Sand Village. For the future of the Artisan Village..."

"I understand. The future of the village is now in your hands. To make things easier for you, take the four celestial elephants with you..."

"Hey!"

It's not just the Artisan Village that has this idea.

In a corner of this land, an amiable-looking old man was also looking at the scroll he had just received. It must be said that this time the victory of the Sand Village over Konoha in the war attracted the attention of countless people and also made the Sand Village receive unprecedented attention, so that everything that happened in the Sand Village spread throughout the entire ninja world.

And behind him was the hall filled with dense spells.

A huge creature shaped like a scaleless snake was sleeping, emitting evil chakra, hovering in the center of the hall.

"Looks like it's time to go to the Sand Village! With Shukaku's chakra, the Zero Tail can be revived!"

At the same time, in the Land of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

The third generation Mizukage looked at the information in his hands and had some ideas in his mind.

In recent times, the Hidden Mist Village has been receiving intelligence that there are ninjas from the Hidden Sand Village wandering around the Hidden Mist Village.

This was obviously not a gesture of goodwill, but the Third Mizukage didn't care at all.

Because the problems within the Hidden Mist Village are more serious than those in Konoha.

The three major bloodline limit families, Hozuki, Taketori, and Mizunotsuki, who once established the Hidden Mist Village, are more difficult to deal with than the Uchiha clan. The internal divisions made it impossible for the third Mizukage to mobilize the ninjas from the bloodline limit families in the village.

This is also the reason why the third Mizukage took so much effort to create the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

But now?

Looking at the unexpected information in his hand, he suddenly felt that perhaps he could get to know the young Kazekage of the Sand Village.

Since the ninjas from the Sand Village appeared in the Water Country, it means that this Kazekage must have some plans for the Mist Village.

Thinking of this, he also made up his mind...

Anyway, you won't lose anything by trying, and you may even gain something unexpected...
