Chapter 402 The Cloud Ninja Swarm Out (First Update)

"My suggestion is to kill them all. Given the current situation, it is unwise to leave so many Kirigakure ninjas in the village."

"Kill them, wipe Kirigakure completely from history, and then that island of the Land of Water can be incorporated into our Land of Fire."

Inside the Hokage's office, Danzo made a suggestion that nearly drove Mei Terumi into a rage.

However, his proposal was quickly rejected by the third generation.

"The Hidden Mist Village is now a prisoner of war. Killing prisoners of war is too heinous. If word gets out, Konoha will become the enemy of the entire ninja world."

I propose that we form an alliance, similar to what we did with Sunagakure, and have the Hidden Mist Village ninja help us end the Fourth Shinobi World War and restore peace to the shinobi world.

"I second that!"

"I second that!"

Mitokado En and Utatane Koharu nodded.

Although the two enjoyed vying for power in the village, they were more inclined towards the peaceful views of the three generations.

In fact, Konoha occupies the most fertile land in the world, and is much better off than other ninja villages in every aspect. They believe that by continuing to live peacefully, they can better develop and grow stronger.

War is not only very risky, but it also kills many, many people and breaks up many families.

The meager sums they ultimately received were nothing to Konoha.

The vast desert of Sunagakure, the distant islands of Kirigakure, the barren cliffs of Iwagakure, the towering stone mountains of Kumogakure—even if we conquered them, none of them would compare to Konoha.

Previously, the Sand Village allied with Orochimaru to attack Konoha, but Konoha did not launch a war against the Sand Village while they were without the Kazekage; instead, they formed an alliance.

"You are all short-sighted!"

When Danzo saw that all three of them were against him, he stood up abruptly from his chair in anger.

Since the Fifth Hokage possesses such formidable strength, he should take advantage of this chaotic era to expand his territory and eliminate all the other major ninja villages once and for all.

Otherwise, it will be like the first generation. When the first generation was alive, no one dared to do anything, but as soon as the first generation died, they immediately began to stir.

If Hokage and Madara Uchiha hadn't stopped dividing the Tailed Beasts after founding Konoha, but instead continued to expand the Land of Fire's territory...

Although many more people will die, the problem of war can be solved once and for all, and there will be no World War II, World War III, or the current World War IV, and even fewer people will die.

Therefore, Danzo did not approve of the First Hokage's actions.

"Okay, stop arguing!"

Seeing Danzo and the Third Hokage arguing fiercely, Li Chuan slammed his hand on the table and made a decision in his capacity as Hokage.

"First, we will not kill prisoners of war. All the Hidden Mist ninjas will be properly settled. The medical team will give them some simple treatments, and the sealing team will temporarily seal their chakra."

Please take charge of the follow-up arrangements, teacher.

Secondly, I will leave a shadow clone in the village, so there's no need to worry about any problems with the Mist Ninja. I think the Mizukage will also manage her subordinates well and won't give me any reason to go on a killing spree.

"Aren't you right, Fifth Mizukage?"

Li Chuan turned his head to look at Terumi Mei beside him.

Mei Terumi raised her eyebrows, revealing a very charming smile:

"Of course, I will definitely keep them in line."

She knew perfectly well how terrifying Li Chuan's strength was. Right now, the pro-peace faction in Konoha clearly had the upper hand. If something really went wrong, it would give Danzo, who wanted to kill them, an excuse.

Li Chuan might actually kill all of them, the Hidden Mist Ninja.

The gap in strength is too great; they can't afford to play any more tricks.

Li Chuan nodded and continued:

"Finally, I will go to the northeastern front and deal with the Cloud Ninja as quickly as possible, so that we will not need to ally with the Hidden Mist Village and have them help us fight."

Regarding the handling of the Hidden Mist ninja and whether to occupy the Land of Water, we'll discuss those matters after the war is completely over. Let's not forget that there's still the Hidden Rain Village, which has already absorbed the Sand Village.

Killing all the Hidden Mist Ninjas is impossible; they are his future subjects. Forming an alliance and returning to the previous situation of five nations standing side by side is also not within the scope of consideration.

Next, he takes care of the Cloud Ninja, Nagato takes care of the Iwa Ninja, and after staging another show, the entire ninja world can be unified.

After the meeting ended, the shadow clone teleported back to the village with Kakashi and the other bound Kirigakure ninja.

Only then did the villagers realize that their Hokage had completely defeated the invading Kirigakure ninja in just over an hour, and had also captured all the ninja of Kirigakure and their Mizukage.

"Teacher, this is a special ninja tool I made using space-time ninjutsu. It has enough space inside to house all the Hidden Mist ninjas. I'll leave the rest to you."

After handing a small box, whose space had been expanded by the Infinite Stretch Spell, to the Third Hokage and teaching him how to use it, Li Chuan used the Flying Thunder God Technique to rush to the northeastern front line where the Land of Fire and the Land of Hot Water meet.

Several small countries lie between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning, the largest and most famous of which is the Land of Hot Water.

The Land of Hot Springs is known as the "Land of Forgetting War." After the Third Shinobi World War, the Hot Spring Village, which was originally a "battle ninja village," began to yearn for peace, stopped developing ninjutsu, and started taking on missions to make money.

They lived a peaceful life, making a fortune by developing their beautiful natural environment and tourism resources.

Unfortunately, the village produced Hidan, a cult follower, who massacred all the villagers.

Therefore, the Land of Hot Springs no longer has any ninja villages, and it has become the site of the Fourth Shinobi World War, where Konoha and Kumogakure fought.

A weak nation has no diplomacy. Without its own ninja village and armed forces, the Land of Hot Springs naturally had no ability to refuse to be a battleground for two great powers.

The Land of Hot Springs, the main camp of Konoha's First Division.

"The current situation is not optimistic. Since Iwagakure has been almost completely tied down by Amegakure, Kumogakure has mobilized all its ninjas here."

They outnumber us and have many skilled fighters; the Fourth Raikage even personally led the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails into battle.

It seems they're determined to defeat Konoha and become the number one ninja village in the world this time.

Jiraiya gave a detailed report to Li Chuan, who had come to provide support, on all the information that had emerged from the battle with the Cloud Ninja over the past two days.

Given Jiraiya's personality, he was unwilling to participate in wars again. His travels through the ninja world were in order to find the chosen one who could end the war, as the Toad Sage had said.

However, as one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, he could not simply stand by and watch Konoha be invaded by the Kumogakure.

So, at the Third Hokage's urging, he took on the most important role as commander of the First Division, holding off the powerful Cloud Ninja forces.

However, in the two days of fighting, they were generally at a disadvantage.

The number of Cloud Ninjas was not only half that of them, but the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki's coordinated attack was so powerful that even with his strength, he could not suppress them.
