This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

The Third Raikage naturally could not watch the Moon Country fall into the hands of the Iwagakure.

The lips and teeth are interdependent. How could the Third Raikage not understand this truth?

In the Raikage's office, the Third Raikage paced back and forth, his burly figure emitting anxiety and anger.

"Now, order the troops within the Moon Kingdom to retreat and defend."

"At the same time, summon all the ninjas in Kumogakure who can participate in the battle to assemble!"

The Third Raikage gave orders to a Cloud Ninja beside him in a muffled voice, his voice filled with suppressed anger.

"Yes!"

"Lord Raikage!"

After hearing this, a Cloud Ninja immediately went to carry out the Third Raikage's order.

"What do Konoha say?"

The Third Raikage suddenly remembered something and asked another Cloud Ninja beside him.

"News came from Konoha that a large number of Rain Ninjas who were supposed to be fighting Iwagakure suddenly appeared in the territory of the 27th Land of Fire."

"The Rain Ninja has declared war on Konoha, and the Fire Nation cannot support us."

The Cloud Ninja reported to the Third Raikage with a grim expression.

"hateful!!!"

The Third Raikage punched the table in front of him, and the solid wood tabletop instantly cracked into eight pieces.

Perhaps the movement was too big and caused the wound to be affected, causing a trace of blood to seep out of the gauze wrapped around the Third Raikage's chest again.

Suddenly, the furious Third Raikage seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes changed slightly.

"Where is the Kirigakure envoy?"

"Where is the Kirigakure envoy?!"

The Third Raikage suddenly remembered Zabuza Momochi, the Kirigakure envoy who had come to seek cooperation ten days ago.

"Sir, the Kirigakure envoy has remained in the village and has not left."

"It's still in the post house."

The Cloud Ninja responded softly to the Third Raikage.

"Quick! Go and ask Kirigakure's envoy to come see me!"

A glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of the Third Raikage, and he immediately gave an order to the Cloud Ninja in front of him.

Fire Nation.

The Rain Ninjas who were supposed to be on the battlefield in the Land of Earth suddenly appeared in large numbers in the Land of Fire.

A large number of Rain Ninjas infiltrated the Land of Fire, whose defenses were sparse, and assassinated a large number of Konoha Ninjas who were responsible for guarding the border.

Afterwards, Hanzo of the Salamander, with the elite Rain Ninjas who had just withdrawn from the border of the Land of Earth, directly invaded the territory of the Land of Fire.

This divine weapon descended from the sky and caught Konoha off guard.

Not only that, the Iwagakure of the Land of Earth and the Amegakure of the Land of Rain also issued statements at the same time.

It said that the war that broke out between the two countries on the border ended in a draw and the two countries have reached a settlement.

The move of Rain Ninja and Iwagakure to "openly repair the plank road while secretly attacking Chencang" was really unpredictable for the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning.

Three of the five great nations, the Land of Earth, the Land of Thunder, and the Land of Fire, were caught up in the war.

This is the case between big countries, not to mention between small countries.

Wars broke out among the small countries that had previously had grudges against each other, and they announced their resolutions to go to war with each other.

Some small countries even chose to take advantage of this opportunity to follow the example of the Rain Ninjas of the Rain Country and launch a war against the big countries that had been exploiting them.

Overnight, the entire ninja world was in chaos.

But Konoha is Konoha after all, a powerful Konoha, and will not be thrown into disarray by the sudden attack of the Rain Ninja.

With the commander already established, the three disciples of the Third Hokage led a large number of Konoha's elite troops directly to the battlefield.

Supported by its terrifying foundation, Konoha instantly mobilized a terrifyingly powerful army, which had an absolute advantage over the Rain Ninja.

Under the leadership of Tsunade, Orochimaru and Jiraiya, a large number of Konoha elites rushed to the border of the Land of Fire.

However, the experienced Hanzo did not wait foolishly for the arrival of Konoha's main force. Instead, he completed a series of invasions, assassinations, annihilations, destruction and looting, and then retreated back to the Land of Rain along the same route.

Because Hanzo of the Salamander knew very well that since there was already a gap in the quality of the grassroots ninjas on both sides, if they chose to fight away in the Land of Fire, it would be extremely unfavorable for the Rain Ninjas who were good at water-style ninja escape.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to return to the home ground of the Rain Country and wait for Konoha's active attack.

This can also extend the supply lines of Konoha's ninjas and increase Konoha's burden. Hanzo can also use the strategic depth of the Rain Country's home court to attack Konoha's supply lines.

It can be said that Hanzo of the Salamander had no intention of confronting Konoha head-on from the very beginning.

After Tsunade and the other two led the Konoha ninjas to the front line, they did not choose to continue advancing, but chose to stay in front of the border to rest.

It can be predicted that after Konoha is prepared, it will inevitably attack the territory of the Rain Country with a thunderous force and seek the main force of the Rain Ninja for a decisive battle.

As for who will win in the end, it is still unknown.

The turbulent storm in the ninja world has reached every corner of the ninja world.

At this moment, a fierce quarrel broke out within Sand Village, the Wind Country, one of the five major countries.

In the Kazekage Building, all the top leaders of Sunagakure gathered together today, and it was a "rare" occurrence that no one was absent.

In fact, for several months, this "absence" mainly refers to the Third Kazekage himself.

Since the Third Kazekage spent a long time in the Wind Desert making iron sand, the recent political affairs of Sand Village have been handled by Elder Chiyo and Elder Ebizo.

Today, under Chiyo's repeated orders, the Third Kazekage Sandetsu finally returned to 740 Sunagakure.

When the Third Kazekage entered the conference room of the Kazekage Building, everyone present could hardly believe their eyes.

Is this still the rebellious, handsome and unruly Third Kazekage they chose?

The Third Kazekage, who had been soaking in the Wind Desert for two months, was now disheveled, with a beard that had grown to his chest and hair as messy as a chicken coop. He sat down on the main seat belonging to the Kazekage without any hesitation.

"What happened? Why do you insist on me returning to the village for a meeting?"

As soon as he sat down, Sandie asked the Sand Village leaders present at the table without any hesitation.

"Brother, you are the Kazekage, okay?"

"You said Weiha wanted to call you back for a meeting."

A group of Sand Village high-ranking officials covered their faces with one hand, unable to look directly at the Third Kazekage.

"Sandaime!"

"You're the Kazekage, not a miner!!!"

Hearing this, Chiyo on the side finally couldn't help it. There was a cold light flashing in her eyes, and she scolded Shatie mercilessly.

After hearing Chiyo's words, Satetsu appeared indifferent, but a hint of depth flashed in his eyes.

"Whether it's the Wind Shadow or the Miner."

"As long as everything I do can make Sunagakure stronger, isn't that enough?"

"Could it be that you haven't benefited from the supplies from the Water Country?"

Shatie folded his arms across his chest and spoke calmly. As he spoke, a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

Chapter 233, Tit for Tat

At this moment, the aura of the Kazekage burst out from the Third Kazekage, competing with Chiyo without giving in at all.

"you!!!"

Chiyo was blocked by Shatie's words. She wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

What the Third Kazekage said was right. Was the reason why he was mining so hard in the Wind Desert just for himself?

He is doing this for the entire Sand Village!

Moreover, at this time, the trade between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Water has begun to show results, and various materials from the Kingdom of Water have been used in the territory of the Kingdom of Wind.

Just as the Third Kazekage said, they have benefited from it.

The large amount of food, medical supplies, and various resources from the Water Country have significantly reduced prices in the Sand Village, greatly alleviating the pressure on the village.

Not only that, the influx of a large amount of war supplies not only made up for the war consumption in the previous war with the Rain Ninja, but also created a slight surplus.

All of this was dug out by the Third Kazekage, who was like a homeless man, working tirelessly in the Desert of Wind!

Thinking of this, everyone at the table had complicated expressions, and they all felt a little more respect for the Third Kazekage.

"Okay, let's put this topic aside for now."

"We have no objection to the iron sand trade with Kirigakure."

"Third-generation, I asked you to come back today because I have something important to discuss."

At this time, Ebizo on the side tried to smooth things over and explained to the Third Kazekage.

"Okay, tell me if you have something to say."

The Third Kazekage didn't hold on to Chiyo, but just nodded slowly.

The influence of Chiyo and Ebizo, brother and sister, is deeply rooted within Sunagakure. Even as the Kazekage, he can only choose to avoid some of them.

"The reason I asked you to come back was actually for one thing."

"That means the village intends to declare war on Konoha, and now seeks your consent."

Ebizo spoke slowly, his eyes fixed on the Third Kazekage.

Not only that, most of the Sand Village high-level officials at the table looked at the Third Kazekage with a strange look in their eyes.

Upon hearing this, the Third Kazekage's expression changed from surprise to anger, and then from anger to coldness.

"The village declared war on Konoha?"

"Ask for my permission?"

The Third Kazekage glanced at everyone at the table, his eyes filled with cold anger.

"Hum hum"

"good very good!"

The Third Kazekage Shatie glanced at all the Kazekage high-ranking officials present and found that more than half of them chose to avoid his gaze.

The guilty conscience in these people's eyes says it all.

As the Third Kazekage, he was not informed in advance of such a major event as declaring war on Konoha, but was only informed when the time came.

Such an action showed that everyone present did not take him seriously at all.

or

Under the instigation of some people, they were blinded by greed.

Thinking of this, he glanced sharply at Chiyo and Ebizo at the table, but the two of them were completely indifferent to the Third Kazekage's gaze, their eyes full of calmness.

In the eyes of both of them, the young Third Kazekage's skills were still a little immature.

Shatie has already seen that the current meeting is called "discussion", but in fact it is to "force him to abdicate."

"I disagree with the village's proposal for war!"

A sharp cold light flashed in Shatie's eyes, and then he spoke directly in a stern voice.

There is no doubt that how could he agree to this war that was started by Chiyo Ebizo and his brother?

Apart from war and expansion, the Third Kazekage has already seen another way to lead Sunagakure to prosperity. Why bother to wade into the muddy water of war at this time?

Furthermore, Chiyo and Ebizo forced him to declare war on Konoha by forcing him to abdicate, which was really unbearable for the Third Kazekage.

Whatever the reason, this was undoubtedly a provocation to the Kazekage's authority by the two.

So no matter what, the Third Kazekage would never agree to their request.

"Third-generation, don't be willful."

In response to this, Chiyo just said this indifferently, and at the same time she narrowed her eyes, revealing a dangerous expression.
