Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

The ninja world never speaks up for the villages and countries that have been destroyed.

If the largest ninja village in the ninja world has to consider the thoughts and dignity of smaller villages, wouldn't that be a waste of its status as a large ninja village?

Perhaps, ten years ago, Konoha would have been filled with war-weariness because the war had just ended.

But Konoha has now achieved economic take-off and is now at the peak of its military strength.

A considerable number of left-wing ninjas are still eager to flex their muscles against the surrounding villages.

-

It was clearly a blitzkrieg against a country, a special military operation, but not only were the troops assembled small, the preparation time was also extremely short.

From the time the blitzkrieg plan was proposed at the meeting to the time the troops gathered at the village entrance and marched toward the Land of Grass, the entire process took less than an hour.

This can be described as the ninja's highly efficient execution.

In other words, the so-called Ninja World War was not much different from a village brawl...

These ten or so people are enough to decide the outcome of a war.

Chapter 646 Can't Distinguish Between the King and Queen

Standing at the gate of Konoha Village, before the Konoha Blitzkrieg Force set off, Shirokumo Aoba reiterated the two objectives of this special military operation one last time.

Firstly, destroy the resistance forces of the Land of Grass, including the Grass Ninja Village and Hozuki Castle.

Secondly: to occupy the daimyo's prefecture, control the daimyo of the Grass Country, declare surrender, and change the country's ownership.

This is a world of ninjas. If we set aside the ninjas' inexplicable loyalty and worship of the daimyo, conquering a country is actually quite simple.

After emphasizing these two points, in order to reach the Land of Grass as quickly as possible, Shirokumo Aoba used Wood Release to create a wooden dragon, leading everyone towards the Land of Grass at top speed.

As noon approached, in the Grass Ninja Village.

Unaware that the Leaf Village's ninja forces were already near their doorstep, the high-ranking members of the Grass Ninja, who had just learned of the Snow Country's declaration of war, were also holding a meeting.

The person sitting in the main seat was not the leader of the Grass Village, but a fat, greasy man with a large belly and dressed in slightly luxurious clothes.

He was not a ninja from the Grass Village, but an envoy sent by the Daimyo of the Land of Grass.

There was no newspaper in Kusagakure, so the news of the Land of Snow's declaration of war was brought by this messenger.

"What's wrong with your Kusagakure village? How could you possibly think of assassinating a daimyo of a country? And even if you did, didn't you know how to hide your identities?"

The daimyo's face, full of fierce features, was filled with displeasure.

He received the daimyo's decree early in the morning and set off from the daimyo's residence to come to this Kusagakure village. Although the distance was not far, it was hard for him to be in a good mood.

The leader of the Grass Ninja, who was sitting one seat behind him, frowned slightly upon hearing this, and couldn't help but curse the three Grass Ninja who were good for nothing but causing trouble in his heart.

He initially instructed them to negotiate and see if they could resolve the issue without resorting to force. If that failed, he would then send in reinforcements for military intimidation.

Little did they know that those three guys would take it upon themselves to attack the Daimyo of the Land of Snow as soon as they arrived.

More importantly, it also revealed his identity.

I wonder if this commission can still be completed. You know, it's a commission fee of tens of millions. As long as we can get the final payment, the Grass Ninja Village won't have to worry about money for the next few years.

However, the most urgent task at present is to sever ties as soon as possible. In any case, the assassination of the daimyo must not be admitted in public.

Otherwise, the entire Kusagakure village would become the target of the ninja world.

The leader of the Grass Ninja Village quickly said, "We have never sent anyone to the Land of Snow. Those three betrayed the Grass Ninja Village long ago. They are traitors, and their actions have nothing to do with the Grass Ninja Village."

"Hmph! Explaining this to me is useless. The important thing is that the Land of Snow has declared war on the Land of Grass, and this matter cannot be resolved simply."

Those within the same family know each other well. As the envoy of the Daimyo of the Land of Grass, he naturally knows the character of the Grass Village. This matter must be related to the Grass Village.

After thinking it over, the leader of the Grass Ninja suddenly relaxed his furrowed brows a little.

Perhaps we can use this war to complete that mission.

In this way, they can both swindle funds from the Daimyo of the Land of Grass and receive the commission, killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, he became righteous and awe-inspiring once again.

"This matter is indeed unrelated to our Grass Village, but that Snow Country is just a small, remote border country. How dare they declare war on us without investigating the truth? If we don't teach them a lesson, where will our Grass Village's face be?"

Does the Land of Grass still have any face?

Upon hearing this, the daimyo's envoy glanced at him sideways with his small eyes hidden beneath his fat belly. He knew perfectly well the purpose behind the other party's words and said coldly, "Because this matter was caused by your Kusagakure village, the daimyo's government will not provide you with any funds this time."

What a joke! The Daming Prefecture's finances are already insufficient for its own needs. They've collected taxes from the commoners for ten years already. Where would they get the money to wage a pointless war?

"This battle concerns the reputation of the Grass Country. Is the Daimyo Prefecture really not going to contribute a single penny?"

The leader of the Grass Ninja clan immediately looked dejected. A large sum of military funds had flown away right before his eyes, which was no different from losing money.

"I think you know the situation in the Land of Grass. The daimyo is also in dire straits and can't afford much money. The situation in Hozuki Castle is the same as yours."

The envoy, without changing his expression, said...

He did give him a little money, but considering that he rushed over early in the morning, if he didn't get anything in return, it would be a wasted trip, so he simply kept the money for himself.

Financially strapped? How could you be so financially strapped that you could raise a useless fat pig like you?

The leader of the Grass Ninja was cursing under his breath, but as the daimyo's envoy, he didn't show it. Instead, he looked at the other Grass Ninja elders who were also attending the meeting.

"The Land of Snow is far from the Land of Grass. Even if they declare war, it will take their army at full speed several days to reach the Land of Grass. Let's talk about how to fight this battle."

"This……"

The elders, who were already frowning at the lack of funds, hesitated again after hearing the leader's question.

To be honest, although the Land of Grass has existed for so many years and the Grass Ninja Village has an equally long history, they really don't have much experience when it comes to war.

The largest battle they ever participated in was the civil war that broke out when the Grass Village split.

Although they participated in the Third Shinobi World War, they were there to guide the village of Iwagakure. However, the war hadn't ended yet, and when they saw the situation was unfavorable and the Third Hokage mentioned an alliance, they immediately sided with Konoha again.

Often, the war ends faster than they surrender.

But there's no need to slide on your knees when facing a snow country.

Upon seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, the leader of the Grass Ninja was momentarily speechless.

At this moment, an elder with extraordinary wisdom suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a good idea.

"Perhaps we can borrow some of Konoha's strength. Our alliance with Konoha shouldn't be broken since the end of the Third Shinobi World War, right?"

"With Konoha's help, the Land of Snow might surrender without a fight."

As soon as the man finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the scene.

Many people's eyes showed signs of interest.

The leader of the Grass Ninja Village stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Given what happened at the Kannabi Bridge back then, is Konoha really willing to help us?"

"Probably. After all, it was the Third Hokage who took the initiative to sign the alliance with us. If they are unwilling, we can go to Iwagakure just like we did back then."

Another person spoke up, sounding quite confident.

That's all there is to it; that's just how Kusagakure is.

Relying on their geographical advantages and playing political games, they have been able to play both sides among the major villages and have benefited greatly from this approach. Naturally, they have become unaware of the inviolability of the authority of the major villages.

Since the flames of war in the ninja world didn't reach them, over time, they naturally stopped knowing who was the son and who was the father.

"It makes sense..."

The leader of the grass ninja nodded in agreement, "In that case, someone come..."

"boom!"

However, before he could finish speaking, a huge roar suddenly rang out outside, interrupting him.

Everyone in the conference room instinctively stood up.

"How is this going?"

Everyone looked surprised, but before they could go out to check the situation, a patrolling ninja from the Grass Ninja clan rushed into the conference room in a panic.

"No, this is terrible! It's...it's Konoha ninjas! Konoha ninjas have broken in!"

"what?"

Before the Grass Ninja leader could ask for details, an even more terrifying roar came from underground.

Numerous trees grew on the floor, walls, and even the ceiling, completely disrupting the original meeting room.

Chapter 647 Impossible before their chakra runs out...

"Next, my teacher, Aunt Kaho, Karin, Kushina, and I will take care of Kusagakure. Kakashi's team, Yamato's team, and Might Guy's team will take care of Hozuki Castle. The rest of us will take over the Daimyo's mansion."

After entering the territory of the Grass Kingdom, standing on the wide platform atop the giant wooden dragon head, Shirokumo Aoba assigned the remaining tasks to the others.

Now, Kushina's identity is no longer a secret from these people; those who already know already know, after all, she is Naruto's mother.

As long as it's not publicized extensively in the village, it's fine.

"understand!"

Everyone answered in unison.

They all understood the importance of this operation and strictly followed the orders of Hokage Shirakumo Aoba.

Sakura, Ino, and the other girls didn't come over to cling to Shirakumo Aoba at this time; they knew what to do in what situation.

Kaho Uzumaki's expression was somewhat strange, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

I feel a mix of anticipation and uncertainty.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. After many years, she was about to return to Kusagakure.

Karin noticed her mother's unusual mood and couldn't help but take her hand, feeling somewhat worried.

"Mother……"

"I'm fine, Karin."

Kaho Uzumaki squeezed her hand and said with a smile, "I'm just happy."
