Chapter 395 The Fourth Shinobi World War Begins (Second Update)

Seeing that Danzo had now sided with him, Li Chuan continued:

"Since the Fourth Shinobi World War is bound to happen sooner or later, it might not be a bad thing for the Land of Rain to start it."

After that last battle, the Rain Ninja should realize that they are no match for Konoha, so they will continue to attack the ninjas of small countries to strengthen their own power.

This will inevitably attract the attention of other major ninja villages, especially Iwagakure, whose smaller countries also border their Land of Earth.

This will inevitably lead to friction between the Rain Village and the Rock Village. Regardless of who wins or loses in the end, it will be beneficial for Konoha.

If the Land of Rain wins, its strength will inevitably shrink significantly. If the Land of Earth wins, it will eliminate the threat of Akatsuki, but its own strength will also decrease considerably.

The fact that the Land of Rain is drawing fire is actually a good thing for us; attacking the Rain Ninja at this time would be the worst thing we could do.

After hearing Li Chuan's explanation, Danzo, the Third Hokage, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu all fell into deep thought. They felt that what Li Chuan said made sense, but they also had a vague feeling that something was not right.

"Of course, we must also keep a close eye on the Rain Ninja's movements and prepare for war. If they show any inclination to attack Konoha, we will strike swiftly and decisively to eliminate them!"

Seeing that the four advisors no longer objected, Li Chuan also expressed his opinion.

Rain Ninja would definitely not attack Konoha. In his plan, Nagato and his group would first target the smaller countries sandwiched between the Five Great Nations and annex them one by one.

If all other countries have been annexed and no one else has reacted, then declare war on one of them.

If any country obstructs the annexation process, then attack that country first, thereby triggering the Fourth Shinobi World War, and eliminate the opponents one by one.

"In that case, let's follow the wishes of the Five Dynasties!"

Finally, the third generation nodded, acknowledging Li Chuan's decision.

Ultimately, the four of them were just advisors; they only had the right to make suggestions, not the right to make decisions. The decision-making power still rested with Li Chuan, the Hokage.

If Li Chuan insists on going his own way, there's nothing the four of them can do. All they can do is outwardly comply while inwardly resisting, preventing Li Chuan, the Hokage, from fully carrying out his orders.

However, based on the current discussions, they have come to agree with Li Chuan's viewpoint.

After the three generations of four people left, Li Chuan left behind a shadow clone and went to the drawer to continue absorbing spiritual energy and cultivating.

A month later, the Land of Birds and the Land of Bears were conquered by the Rain Ninja.

The five countries of Bird Country, Bear Country, Rain Country, Grass Country, and Waterfall Country are linked together, partially surrounding the Land of Earth.

After repeated warnings went unheeded, the Iwa ninja declared war on the Amegakure ninja.

However, the day after the Iwa ninja declared war on the Amegakure ninja, the Kumo ninja also couldn't hold back and declared war on the Iwa ninja.

During the Third Shinobi World War, the Third Raikage of Kumogakure was killed by a mob of 10,000 Iwagakure ninja. How could Kumogakure forget such a grudge?

The three sides fought for half a month. The Rain Ninja, who everyone thought would not last long against the Iwa Ninja, turned out to be exceptionally strong and completely defended the five defense lines, causing the Iwa Ninja to lose a lot of ninjas.

With the added attack from the Cloud Ninja, the Iwa Ninja were suddenly caught in a dilemma.

If things continue like this, the Cloud Ninja and Rain Ninja will inevitably become the final winners.

As a result, other ninja villages could no longer sit idly by. Without the Fourth Kazekage, the Sand Village, under the temporary leadership of Granny Chiyo, declared war on the Land of Rain.

The Land of Birds and the Land of Bears were originally a buffer zone between the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth. Now that they have been taken over by the Rain Ninja, if the Rain Ninja grows stronger, the Land of Wind will inevitably be the next to suffer.

At the same time, the Cloud Ninja suddenly slowed down their attacks on the Iwa Ninja and strangely declared war on Konoha.

It turns out that the Cloud Ninja discovered that the powerful Leaf Village had been staying out of it all along. Unexpectedly, the Leaf Village ended up reaping the benefits, and the Rain Country was also strong enough to keep the Iwa Ninja occupied.

Thus, they deliberately dragged Konoha into the war.

Meanwhile, seeing the Cloud Ninja launching an attack on Konoha, the Hidden Mist Village of the Land of Water, hoping to gain a share of the spoils, also declared war on Konoha.

The Land of Earth fought against the Land of Rain and the Land of Lightning; the Land of Lightning fought against the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire; the Land of Fire fought against the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water; and the Land of Rain fought against the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth.

In the third month after Li Chuan entered, the Fourth Shinobi World War officially began.

Subsequently, due to the five-nation war, every country and ninja village, large and small, in the entire ninja world was drawn into the war.

On the tower of Amegakure, Li Chuan met with Nagato once again.

"This is a spacetime ninja tool that can be used for large-scale spatial transfer to avoid excessive casualties in war. Now you can go all out and take down the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind as quickly as possible."

"I will also lead Konoha to conquer the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water."

Li Chuan handed over some of the door keys he had made to Nagato.

Although the Rain Country had previously annexed four smaller countries, it had not actually exerted its full strength. Even now, in its battles against the Earth Country and the Wind Country, it was merely maintaining an undefeated level.

Because if 100,000 White Zetsu were released all at once, the current situation of major powers fighting each other would not exist.

The Fourth Shinobi World War has now officially begun, and all peace treaties have automatically become invalid. As long as Nagato takes care of the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, and Li Chuan takes care of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water, everything will be fine.

So in the end, only the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain remain.

Of course, this needs to be done quickly, otherwise the fight will take too long. Although Nagato's White Zetsu were all captured alive, battles between ninjas from other countries are not so friendly.

Therefore, Li Chuan specially delivered the key to Nagato so that he could resolve the battle as quickly as possible.

"Rest assured, Chief, we will conquer the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind within four days!"

Taking the door key from Li Chuan, Nagato made a solemn pledge.

After the Fourth Hokage was killed, Sunagakure basically didn't have any outstanding ninjas. The only ones worth mentioning were Granny Chiyo and Gaara, the Jinchuriki.

The Hidden Stone Village has many skilled fighters, especially the Tsuchikage Onoki, whose Dust Release is quite powerful. His disciples, Kyoto and Kurotsuchi, are also quite strong, and the village also has two Jinchūriki, Rōshi and Han.

However, compared to Akatsuki's current strength, it is still much weaker. Moreover, with the Gate Key, Akatsuki does not need to disperse its forces to fight. It can first concentrate on eliminating all the Sand Ninja, and then use the Gate Key to transfer all its forces to deal with the Iwa Ninja.

Therefore, four days is actually a rather conservative estimate.

"Be careful of Onoki's Dust Release. After collecting those tailed beasts, use the Life No. 1 potion to help the Jinchuriki recover, just like before. Lock them up for now and deal with them after the war is over."

After giving his final instructions, Li Chuan teleported back to Konoha.

Now that the war has begun, it's only natural to collect the tailed beasts as soon as possible.

During the previous attack on Takigakure, they also captured the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki. After extracting the Seven-Tails and sealing it in the Gedo Mazo, they injected the Jinchuriki with the Life No. 1 Potion.
