Naruto Online: Hyuga Branch Family? Let's go all out!

Chapter 213 Negotiations Fail, War Begins

It's really not difficult for Konoha to unify the ninja world.

Putting everything else aside, just considering the Rain Country's production capacity, Konan could accumulate 600 billion explosive tags. If the Fire Country put all its effort into production, how many could it produce?

With the combination of detonating tags and the technique of multiplying detonating tags, which village could withstand such a bombardment?

And don't say that the Multi-Explosive Tags technique is dangerous and might blow you up. Konoha has the Shadow Clone Technique!

This shows how many trump cards Hiruzen Sarutobi has.

But he managed to devastate Konoha, causing its talent pool to dwindle and its finances to collapse.

It's not that Ning Yuan wants to insult monkeys every day; this person is truly toxic.

Yes, it must be included in textbooks in the future. It's not enough for me to insult him alone; the whole country, young and old, men and women, should insult him together.

I'll resurrect Hiruzen Sarutobi using the Impure World Reincarnation technique and let him hear what a child thinks of him.

Back on the battlefield.

Hu Tuo stared wide-eyed at the sight of the massive, collapsed fortress before him.

Who exactly is the Explosion Release Squad? And are these explosive tags free?

He could also tell that the detonating tags used in these explosions were the highest-performance Blue Detonating Tags, which sold for 5000 taels each in Iwagakure!

He bought these explosive tags, but he couldn't bear to use them at all. He never expected that someone else would throw bundles of these things into his device, even though he himself couldn't bear to use them.

At this moment, Hu Tuo deeply felt the unevenness of the world.

"Captain, what should we do? Fight or retreat?" asked the Explosion Release team member behind us.

The border ninja leader, Pillarstone, who was standing nearby, also looked over, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Hu Tuo knew what he was grateful for. Before he arrived, Zhu Shi was the leader here. The loss of the fortress was largely his fault.

But now, a higher-ranking leader has arrived at the fortress. He still has to take the blame for the loss of the fortress, but the person most responsible is no longer him, but Hu Tuo.

It's not surprising that Toraku was still thinking about taking the blame at this point; the political struggles that Konoha Village had, Iwagakure Village had just as many.

It's a very simple logic. Does the Hidden Stone Village not have a single ninja stronger than Onoki, so that Onoki had to pass the position of Tsuchikage to his granddaughter?

Also, is that bloodstain elimination technique really that difficult? Not a single one of the tens of thousands of ninjas in Iwagakure could learn it.

Is it that they can't learn it, or that they don't want to teach it?

Shaking his head to clear his mind of these jumbled thoughts, Hu Tuo turned to look at Zhu Shi: "Captain Zhu Shi, you've guarded the border for many years and have a wealth of experience. What's your opinion?"

Pillarstone shook his head and said, "The fortress can be lost, but the border cannot. And the enemy has so many explosive tags..."

The fortress is gone, but the explosive tags are still going off!

Given the opponent's attitude of not treating explosive tags like money at all, who knows how many explosive tags she still has?

With so few people, can they hold out?

At this moment, Zhushi was also dumbfounded. He lived on the border and occasionally saw foreign books coming in.

I remember reading somewhere that war is all about economics.

At the time, I didn't understand what war and the economy had to do with each other. Wasn't war about who had the stronger people and more ninjas?

Now he suddenly understood that war really does depend on economics!

Even if the three hundred people on the other side are all genin, what can you do if they each have ten thousand explosive tags?

Even a Jonin would turn around and leave if they saw this!

Hu Tuo understood what Zhu Shi meant: he wanted to leave, but he didn't want to bear the responsibility of losing the border.

But if you don't want to memorize it, why should I?

"Set up a defensive position and hold it!" Hu Tu shook his head, deciding to hold the line.

The main reason was that Onoki had given him the order to stay put before he went to sleep.

As a result, the line crashed before I could even hold it for ten minutes.

I won't be able to explain this when I get back!

It's better to fight it out and hold out for three to five days. Then we can have an explanation when we go back.

The Iwagakure ninjas skillfully set up traps, pits, and fortresses. Whether these things were useful or not was unknown; that was all they knew.

"They've built a defensive position 1 kilometer behind the fortress; it looks like they're going to hold it!" A Hyuga member from the Konoha camp observed the situation with his Byakugan before reporting to his superior.

"Iwagakure, hold on?" Kurenai Yuhi and Kakashi both chuckled.

Iwagakure (Iwagakure Village) seems to be the village most skilled in defense.

That's not actually the case.

Iwagakure's defensive capabilities are indeed strong against ninja villages that are not good at offensive attacks, such as Sunagakure.

But for Konoha, which possesses the technique of multiplying explosive tags, the sturdy walls are nothing more than decorations.

For Konoha, Iwagakure's defensive capabilities are even inferior to Sunagakure's!

At least the poison from Sunagakure is indeed very threatening, but Iwagakure doesn't have any decent long-range ninjutsu.

What? You're saying using stones is shameful?

Don't be ridiculous. Even kunai have a hard time hitting strong opponents, but stones can?

"Shall we attack?" Kakashi asked.

"You attack from the front, I'll flank!" Kurenai Yuhi shook her head and said, "Even if we can't wipe out Iwagakure completely, we must leave most of them here!"

"Okay!" Kakashi nodded, then watched as Kurenai Yuhi rode the White Pearl, soaring into the sky like a fairy in the moon.

"This Iwagakure village, no, the entire ninja world, is incredibly unlucky to have encountered you two!"

Kakashi waved his hand and said, "The biggest fortress has already been taken by this big shot. All we have to do is fight, right?"

"No problem!" All the ninjas nodded emphatically.

Feeling the thick ninja tool pouch and the hundreds of explosive tags stacked inside, when have the Konoha ninja ever fought such a lavish battle!

More importantly, in the past, you had to buy the detonating tags yourself, but now the organization distributes them for free.

When the Ning organization first took over Konoha, many ninjas were wondering if an organization founded by a 9-year-old could really manage Konoha.

However, once the ninja army was reorganized, new equipment and supplies were distributed.

Hey, it smells delicious.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, please stop contacting me. I'm afraid the Ning organization will misunderstand.

What Konoha ninja? I'm not familiar with them at all. We are all soldiers of the Guining Army!

The three hundred Guining soldiers formed groups of three, three groups into a team, and three teams into a column, thus creating a sizable formation on the ground.

Despite having fewer people, their formation after being spread out was comparable to that of the opposing force of 1,200.

A minute and a half later, the three hundred Guining soldiers had arrived in front of the Yan Yin position.

"Is that Kakashi, the Konoha ninja, ahead?" Tiger Taku called out loudly upon seeing the approaching figure. "Our Iwagakure and Konoha have no past grudges, and are currently at odds. Why are you suddenly attacking our fortress?"

"For world peace!" Kakashi was delighted that someone had actually taken the initiative to talk to him.

You should know that back in the day, he was in the Hokage's office and he silenced Hiruzen Sarutobi completely!

If you want to talk to me, then I'll talk to you until you lose all your fighting spirit, feel ashamed of yourself, and have no choice but to surrender.

"World peace?" Hu Tuo was bewildered. "The world peace you're talking about, you mean initiating wars?"

"Yes!" Kakashi nodded. "Our Ning Organization's philosophy is simple: if the whole world is unified, and all ninja villages belong to one flag, the world will naturally be at peace!"

"Ah, this..." Tiger was speechless, because it was true.

You don't even need to think about it carefully; you could come to this conclusion even with your ass.

Of course, some sanctimonious naysayers will stand up to refute this, but their reasons are generally very superficial, such as saying that the unification process will cause a large number of deaths.

But a little thought reveals that this argument is completely untenable.

Unification will certainly result in deaths, but without unification, even more people will die!

Toraku hails from Iwagakure, so he is naturally a supporter of the unification theory, except that he supports Iwagakure's unification of the world.

"Tora, I know you. You were already on the battlefield during the First Shinobi World War, and you became a Jonin during the Second Shinobi World War. You should know how devastating war is to lives and how serious the destruction of order is."

"You should also understand that countless ninjas loathe war, and countless ninjas yearn for peace!"

"Now, the dawn of peace is before you!" Kakashi said. "If you lay down your weapons and surrender, the war can end, and the world will usher in peace!"

Toraku shook his head: "Sorry, I'm a ninja from Iwagakure!"

"Your joining us won't stop you from continuing to be a Hidden Stone Village ninja!" Kakashi said. "As long as Hidden Stone Village joins Ning's organization, we'll be family!"

Hu Tuo was speechless. How come your organization has such a set of rules?

It's a pity.

"As a ninja of Iwagakure, I must be loyal to Iwagakure and the Tsuchikage. No matter how eloquently you speak, it's useless against me!" Toraku declared. "Unless ordered by the Tsuchikage, I will never surrender unless I die in battle!"

"I see!" Kakashi nodded, understanding.

You have your convictions, and I have my dreams.

Since that's the case, war is the only option.

He retreated back into formation and raised his right arm.

"Let's start the war!"
