Hyuga sent Hinata to be my fiancée

"......"

It makes sense.

Everyone knows the Lightning Release mode of the Cloud Village and the Dust Release of the Iwagakure Village. But even if you know, can you learn it?

Not to mention outsiders, even the Iwagakure and Kumogakure themselves are difficult to deal with.

The Lightning Release Mode is easy to learn, and the Raikage candidates are qualified to learn it, but it is difficult.

Not to mention Dust Release, now only Ōnoki can master it.

Forget about getting started with this thing. Even if Ohnoki teaches you step by step, you may not be able to learn it.

"On the contrary, I think that the Tsuchikage might agree to his request. After all, the current Iwagakure is... hehe."

Leaving behind a series of pleasant laughter, Terumi Mei and Rasa separated and headed towards their residence from other directions.

The Mist Village and the Sand Village are still in peace talks. If Mei Terumi and Rasa return to their residence together, it might cause some misunderstandings, so it would be better for them to go separately.

"Assistant-sama, there are envoys from the Sand Village and the Mist Village who have left the village in disguise."

At night, Yan finished today's official business and was resting and drinking tea.

At this time, Shisui and Itachi came to the Hokage's office and reported the news.

"Let them be."

Yan chuckled and said:

"I knew there was something wrong with them. They targeted the Iwagakure before they even dealt with their own affairs. Ohnoki must have contacted them privately, so they came to probe me."

There is a saying that goes, when you take advantage of others, shouldn’t you also reflect on yourself and ask yourself whether others are taking advantage of you?

Mei Terumi and Rasa can explore Yan's background, and Yan can also use them to contact Ōnoki indirectly.

Here! This is my condition. If you agree to it, I will represent Konoha in the Five Kage Summit.

If you don't agree, then goodbye. You guys can have fun on your own and Konoha won't interfere.

Yan guessed correctly. Ohnoki had already started contacting Mei Terumi and Rasa a long time ago. Even if it was just a secret contact, it was enough for Rasa and Mei Terumi to take it seriously.

The worse the situation of the Iwagakure, the more benefits they can get from the Iwagakure.

The situation is beyond his control. Ohnoki has to bow his head and hand over the benefits obediently.

Nowadays, the Iwagakure and the Kumogakure are fighting in Taki Country. There are only three ways to stop the war.

The first one is that the Iwagakure admits defeat and acknowledges the loss of the war, but unfortunately Ōnoki will not easily bow to the Kumogakure.

Even if a certain price is paid to reconcile the war, the Iwagakure will not be declared to have lost the war.

If the stubborn old man announced that the war was lost, why would he need to contact Rasa and Mei Terumi in private?

Therefore, the first choice is not an option at all.

The second way is to win over the Mist Village and the Sand Village and persuade Konoha to convene a Five Kage Summit.

The most stable method is to use the Five Kage Summit to force the Cloud Village to take the upper hand and put an end to the war.

If they choose the second path, the Iwagakure will have to pay a heavy price.

As for the third way, it is also simple. Directly win over the Sand Village and the Mist Village, become allies with them, and force the Cloud Village to end the war.

Otherwise, our three villages will unite to fight you.

No matter how poor the Sand Village and the Mist Village are, they can still form a team and gather some supplies to support the Rock Village.

Once the Iwagakure has enough war supplies and reinforcements, it will not be afraid of fighting the Kumogakure on the battlefield.

Three against one, even if the Mist Village and the Sand Village didn't put in much effort, it would be enough to give the Cloud Village a hard time.

Except for the first of the three roads, the second and third cannot avoid Konoha.

The convening of the Five Kage Council requires Konoha's approval, because if Konoha does not agree and participate, the Kumogakure will definitely ignore it.

You can even turn the tables. Konoha won't even participate, so what's the point of holding the Five Kage Summit?

By the same token, it will be useless for you to win over the Iwagakure, the Mist Village, and the Sand Village.

As long as Konoha sides with the Cloud Village, you will not be their match even if we fight three against two.

One side has all the people, all the strong people, and all the resources, while the other side is so poor that it has to scrape together resources in various ways.

Before the war even started, the balance of victory had already tilted, and even a large iron block had been hung on it.

Once Konoha gets involved, will the Sand Village and the Mist Village dare to go to war with Konoha?

I'm afraid his head will be smashed.

Therefore, Konoha is an obstacle that the Iwagakure cannot get around. Unless Ōnoki is willing to bow to the Kumogakure, it can only pay benefits to stabilize Konoha.

No matter what choice is made, Konoha will not lose out.

Only bloody profit.

In order to stabilize Konoha, Ohnoki needs to give benefits.

Coincidentally, Ai needs to stabilize Konoha's ally and also needs to give benefits to prevent Konoha from leaning to the other side.

Even the Cloud Village could not morally blame Konoha.

Even though they are temporary allies, Konoha will not turn against them openly. As long as they support them secretly, the Cloud Ninja Village will be in trouble.

"This is the essence of war. Why do we have to fight to the death? Why don't we take advantage of others to make a profit and strengthen ourselves?"

"......"

Nara Shikaku's face was full of black lines.

It's good, but the problem is that this is the first time such a good thing has happened to Konoha. In every previous war, has Konoha not been a victim?

Every time I was beaten, I cried out in pain.

If you want to sit on the fence and get benefits, you have to have the ability to do it.

If it were the Third Hokage, Konoha would have been plotted against long ago, and who knows which village it would be fighting with.

No, you don’t even have the qualifications to fight to the death.

According to the development of the original work, before the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja World War, Konoha's strength was really weak.

The Third Hokage should be credited with bringing Konoha to this dire state.

"Assistant-sama, Oonoki will not choose to lose the war?"

Shikaku felt that this possibility was very high. Given the current situation in the Iwagakure, the simplest and most direct way would be to simply declare the war a failure.

“Yes, but the possibility is very small.”

Yan analyzed affirmatively:

"Do you think a stubborn old man like Ohnoki would be willing to sacrifice a little bit of his own interests to save the village's face, or sacrifice his own interests and lose face?"

Surrendering directly and declaring the war lost is very decisive. The problem is that if you declare the war lost, you also have to pay war reparations to the victorious party. Not only do you have to compensate the Kumogakure, but you also have to compensate the Takigakure as well.

The most important thing is that I lost face and all honor.

It would also be a considerable price to pay, so why didn't Ohnoki choose to continue to persevere?

There is a price to pay for winning over the Mist Village and the Sand Village, and there is also a price to pay for winning over Konoha.

The problem is that there is a price to pay for winning people over to help you, and there is also a price to pay for declaring defeat in a war.

The former can also save the face of himself and the village.

In that case, why should I lose face?

Does the Cloud Ninja Village have a very small appetite?
