But after all, the distance between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire is still quite far, and Danzo would not take the initiative to declare war on the Cloud Ninja, and Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Konoha Ninja would not agree to such a ridiculous action.

However, Danzo is not a man who is willing to be lonely. As the leader of the Root, there are many things he can do. Moreover, as a more covert force than the Anbu, the actions of the Root only need to be accountable to Danzo.

Therefore, it is difficult to tell from this information what actions Danzo took, but the final result was that the Kingdom of Lightning and the Kingdom of Iron, which had been living in peace, suddenly broke out into a considerable conflict.

The Land of Iron is different from other small countries. Although it does not have a large-scale ninja army like the five major ninja villages, as a country of samurai, the best samurai even have strength that is not inferior to the Kage level. The current admiral of the Land of Iron, Mifune, is such a master.

Although it is not known why the Cloud Ninja, who have always had a great interest in the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki and Bloodline Limit, would provoke the Iron Kingdom which has no ninjutsu inheritance, Hanzo was obviously prepared for this.

When the conflict between the Kingdom of Iron and the Kingdom of Lightning just occurred, it issued a declaration strongly condemning the invasion of the Kingdom of Lightning, expressing its support for the Kingdom of Iron, and even sent a team of ninjas to directly intervene in the conflict between the two countries.

In fact, although the Iron Kingdom is not necessarily a match for the Lightning Kingdom, compared with small countries like the Grass Kingdom and the River Kingdom that have no self-defense capability, the samurai believe that their strength is sufficient to protect themselves and did not ask Konoha for help.

However, Mifune could not resist Danzo's enthusiasm. When the Iron Country did not receive a request for help, Danzo took the initiative to support the Iron Country and sent a ninja team to help the Iron Country resist the invasion of the Cloud Ninja.

Although the Kingdom of Iron had some complaints about Danzo's behavior, it was not a wise choice to offend both the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Lightning at the same time, so the Kingdom of Iron had to accept Danzo's so-called good intentions and could only try not to let Konoha's ninjas participate in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Iron.

As Minato was Jiraiya's student and a rising young ninja who was personally followed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, it was natural for him to follow Danzo into the Land of Iron and face the Cloud Ninjas from the Land of Lightning.

Of course, Minato had no fondness for the Kumo-nin who had tried to kidnap Kushina, and he even killed one in combat when he was chasing them to rescue Kushina.

This incident probably happened when I was heading from Konoha to the front line of the Land of Rain. Now the hostility with the Land of Lightning is a fait accompli. We are just getting to know the situation, and it has no impact on the situation on the border of the Land of Lightning. We can only hope that Danzo will not escalate the situation into a war between the two countries.

The exact situation at the border of the Land of Lightning is still unknown, but with a Kage-level master like Danzo and Mifune, the leader of the Land of Iron, at least there won't be any major problems.

So after Jiraiya and I read this information, although we were a little concerned about the situation in the Land of Lightning and Minato's predicament, we were too far away from each other after all, so we could only hope that everything would go well.

Tsunade also entered the tent after we reviewed the intelligence: "What intelligence did Jiraiya find out this time that made you come to me in such a hurry?"

Jiraiya introduced the latest intelligence about the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind: "It happened that not long after Yunyu and I arrived at the battlefield between the Rain Ninja and the Sand Ninja, the Rain Ninja launched a large-scale raid under the leadership of Hanzo the Salamander."

"The Sand Ninjas also put up a fierce defense under the leadership of Chiyo. The battle between the two sides was very intense, especially the duel between Chiyo and Hanzo, which determined the direction and outcome of this war."

Sensei Jiraiya continued, "However, the strength of both sides was similar, and it was difficult for Hanzo to defeat Chiyo, so before both sides were defeated, an agreement to cease fire was reached."

"When I rushed back, the two sides had already temporarily ceased fighting. Later, they will make a demarcation of the war and border between the Bird Country and the Rain Country in order to achieve their respective goals."

"Oh? In this way, the threat posed by the Rain Ninja and the Sand Ninja to Konoha has increased a lot. After all, the Land of Grass is the main expansion direction of the Rain Ninja, and in the direction of the River Land, the Hatake have just inflicted heavy damage on the Sand Ninja." Tsunade analyzed based on the existing intelligence.

"There is no doubt that the Rain Ninjas, as the fuse of this Ninja World War, will not give up easily if their goal of invading the Land of Grass is not achieved?" Orochimaru sneered.

"As for the Kingdom of Wind, they want to take the opportunity to expand. The only two countries that can do so are the Kingdom of Birds, which is adjacent to the Kingdom of Earth, and the Kingdom of Rivers, which is adjacent to Konoha. If we look at the geographical location and natural environment, the Sand Ninjas will naturally want to obtain the territory of the Kingdom of Rivers."

"So we need to decide whether to continue to stay here or move back to the Land of Grass to prevent the Rain Ninja's surprise attack." Jiraiya concluded: "And the news of the truce between the Sand Ninja and the Rain Ninja needs to be sent back to the village as soon as possible and handed over to Hiruzen Sensei so that we can prepare for the response at the border of the Land of Rivers."
