Chapter 358 'Reasonable' Choice
PS: Today is another busy day for renovation, so I can only write this much. I will upload it first and see if I can write more later.

Take action first! ?
The moment he heard Shangshui Liuyan Jue's words.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes slightly, and Jiraiya and Shikaku on both sides also revealed a different color in their pupils.

This is absolute sincerity.

You need to know the previous encirclement.

The Hidden Leaf Village is always the first initiator and the first attacker.

Chunchun from the Hidden Cloud Village is an unexpected factor.

It was the Fourth Raikage who wanted to take advantage of him. Most importantly, he was overconfident. That couldn't be counted. But now it's different. In two or three consecutive battles, Menma has proved everything with his performance.

If they take action now against the alliance of Taki and Kusanagi Village led by Ma, the one who attacks first will inevitably suffer the most violent counter-pressure. The Third Tsuchikage actually dared to make such a promise, which was indeed a manifestation of his sincerity.

"Is this really what Mr. Tsuchikage Takamura said?"

Tsunade leaned forward subconsciously, looked at Iwazetsu with a hint of suspicion and said, "Although Tsunade had only seen the old guy from the Iwagakure Village a few times, she was very familiar with this Tsuchikage."

That's a pure old fox.

He is an existence that is even more difficult to deal with than the old man in his family.

Normally, it is always the Iwagakure Village that benefits, and it is almost impossible for them to suffer losses. Judging from the current situation in the ninja world, Tsunade does not think that the Third Tsuchikage must make such a courageous decision.

"Haha, Lord Hokage, you must be joking. How dare I spread the orders of Lord Tsuchikage? Please rest assured that everything I said was in accordance with the orders of Lord Tsuchikage."

Yan Jue smiled lightly, then replied in a deep voice.

This is another very affirmative tone.

Tsunade's eyes also narrowed slightly at this moment.

She was really unwilling to believe that the Third Tsuchikage would make such a decision. What was her reason?

Is it really because he is afraid of the strength of Menma's faction? Or is it because he is simply envious of those tailed beasts?

If ordinary people looked at it, this would indeed be a very sufficient reason, but from Tsunade's point of view, the Third Tsuchikage did not seem to be that type of person.

The look that subconsciously looked towards Jiraiya on the side.

Jiraiya seemed expressionless on the surface, but in fact there was a hint of strange color in his pupils. Tsunade, his close friend of many years, was also startled when she saw it.

next second.

Tsunade took a deep breath, crossed her hands on the table, and said calmly, "I understand your intention. This is a serious matter, and I still need to think about it for a day or two. If you don't mind, Yan Zetsu-san, please stay in our Konohagakure Village for two or three days, how about that?"

"This is naturally the right thing to do. Well, I will be rude today, Hokage-sama."

Yan Jue still had a smile on his face. After bowing slightly, he turned around and strode away.

After Yu Yanjue's figure completely disappeared.

"Jiraiya, Shikaku, what do you think? Is that old guy really going to take action against Uzumaki Menma? Or is he simply deceiving us?" Tsunade's expression sank and she asked in a serious voice.

"It's hard to say. Judging from the Tsuchikage's previous style of behavior, both possibilities are possible. Even if he seems to be sincere now, nothing can be said for sure until later."

Jiraiya frowned and thought for a while, then finally shook his head slowly and said.

Ohnoki, who is known as the three tsubo, is considered a "legendary figure" in the ninja world. Not to mention his superb Dust Release, his methods are the most terrifying. In terms of leadership ability, Ohnoki is the best among the three Kages. Sarutobi Hiruzen was indeed ahead in the first half of his life, but he "degraded" later on.

As for the third generation of Lei, he was not very good at this aspect.

Not to mention the remaining three generations of wind and three generations of water.

Only Ōnoki, from the perspective of the Iwagakure Village, was indeed wise all his life. Moreover, this old guy was the kind of person who became more and more evil as he grew older, and he could always look at any problem with the most rational eyes.

This is also the biggest reason why the Iwagakure Village has always been able to remain relatively strong.

Jiraiya and Tsunade are both very familiar with the Third Tsuchikage, so they will naturally make corresponding judgments.

"My opinion is different from Master Jiraiya's. Master Godai, I think the Iwagakure Village should take action against Uzumaki Menma this time, or to be more precise, against the Takitsuna Ninja Village. This is based on a basic strategic security judgment of the Iwagakure Village."

Shikaku, who was sitting on the side, shook his head slightly after Jiraiya finished speaking, and said to Jiraiya and Tsunade with a very serious expression.

"Hmm? Why do you say that, Shikaku? What's your reason?"

Tsunade and Jiraiya were both startled, the former staring straight at Shikaku and asking in a deep voice.

"Because the alliance of Takigakure and Kusagakure is too close to Iwagakure, and there is no separation area, our five major ninja villages have always been attacking each other in the past, but thanks to some natural barriers and distance restrictions, the outbreak of war is not so easy. Many times, countries will still restrain themselves as much as possible. But now, Lord Fifth, Lord Jiraiya, please look at the map. Takigakure and Kusagakure have actually half-surrounded Iwagakure. The Third Tsuchikage saw this threat and made such a judgment."

Shikaku pulled over a huge map hanging on a whiteboard from the side, pointed at the Takigakure Village and Kusagakure Village which were clearly marked in red and said.

This can be clearly seen from this map.

The entire southeastern area of ​​the Land of Earth has been caught in a pincer attack by the Land of Grass and the Land of Taki.

The most important thing is that the location of Iwagakure Village is relatively forward.

Without considering any other factors, just looking at the threat alone, as long as Menma is determined, he can indeed mobilize the military forces of the two ninja villages to launch the most fierce attack on the Iwagakure Village in the shortest time possible.

Jiraiya and Tsunade, who had not thought of this before, immediately reacted when they saw what Shikaku pointed out.

Such a strategic threat.

It’s not a question of whether or not.

It’s a question of whether it can.

"Looking at it this way, it does make sense..."

Jiraiya looked thoughtful as he muttered to himself.
