This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

"Yes, yes, Sandaime, now is Sunagakure's golden opportunity!"

"With the Rain Ninja holding back Konoha's main force, we can invade the Land of Fire and reap the benefits!"

"In this way, Sunagakure will be free from poverty and no longer have to rely on other great powers!"

""

At the same time, several high-ranking members of the Sand Village who were present at the banquet came together to advise the Third Kazekage.

During the banquet, only a few people chose to stand on the side of the Third Kazekage and rejected the proposal for war.

It turned out that since some time ago, many high-level officials of Sunagakure had been bribed and persuaded by Chiyo and Ebizo.

Seeing this, the Third Kazekage's expression became increasingly gloomy. Looking at the noisy crowd at the table, he said nothing more coldly.

He also knew that things had come to this point and he could no longer stop it.

Chiyo and Ebizo are disciples of the Second Kazekage and command the elite puppeteer troops of Sunagakure.

At this moment, the Sunagakure jonin squad leader and the heads of various institutions have already stood beside Chiyo and Ebizo, brother and sister, and chose to support the war against Konoha.

Things have come to this point, and it is too late for the Third Kazekage to say anything now that the situation is hopeless.

"In that case, what's the point of talking nonsense?"

"Let's vote."

The Third Kazekage said this coldly, without a trace of extraneous emotion in his eyes.

Seeing the Third Kazekage compromise, Chiyo and Ebizo looked at each other and saw the satisfaction in each other's eyes.

As expected, the majority of the vote went to those who supported the war.

Under this result, Sand Village will take advantage of the opportunity when the Rain Ninja launches a war against Konoha to launch a sneak attack on Konoha.

"In that case, I will see what this war can bring to Sunagakure."

"Elder Chiyo, Elder Ebizo, I hope you can give the village a satisfactory explanation when the time comes."

After saying this, the Third Kazekage stood up angrily and slammed the door and left, leaving the Sand Village high-level officials in the room looking at each other in bewilderment.

In response, Chiyo remained unmoved and spoke slowly.

"Next, I will arrange the battle plan for Sand (Zhao Ma De) Yin."

Chiyo was indifferent to the Third Kazekage's rage. In her opinion, this was just the act of a child flipping over a table, and there was nothing to worry about.

Originally, Chiyo had many ways to save the Third Kazekage's face even if she had to start a war.

But she chose the one that would embarrass the Third Kazekage the most, and the reason was very simple.

Recalling the cold and desolate scene at the village entrance a few days ago when she and Ebizo returned to the village with the Sand Ninjas who had returned from a draw, a cold gleam flashed in Chiyo's eyes.

In Chiyo's opinion, the Third Kazekage's move was undoubtedly intended to humiliate her and Ebizo.

And now, every sip and every bite, she has returned it all.

In Chiyo's heart, launching a war against Konoha and plundering the rich land of the Land of Fire is the right way for the vast Sand Village.

As for the petty and ridiculous mining activities of the Third Kazekage, they are not worth mentioning at all.

Chapter 234, Just One Favor

What Chiyo didn't know was that after the war meeting of the Sand Village high-level officials ended, a Sand Village high-level official secretly released a golden eagle.

This golden eagle is a spiritual animal used to transmit information and will bring the information to where it should go.

Looking at the golden eagle flying away, the Sand Village high-ranking official wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked around furtively, and after making sure that there was no one around, he left the place quietly.

The eastward direction that the golden eagle flew towards was exactly the direction of the Fire Nation.

The land of fire, Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the information on the table, smashed the pipe in his hand, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.

The Sunagakure chose to take advantage of the situation, a move that Sarutobi Hiruzen had already anticipated.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had already made a plan for this.

"Sakumo, this battle will be the battle that will make you famous in the ninja world."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Hatake Sakumo behind him with a smile, and Hatake Sakumo, who had already known Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrangement, also had a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

"I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Hatake Sakumo answered Sarutobi Hiruzen seriously, his tone full of determination.

"very good"

Seeing this, a hint of deep understanding flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

Taking advantage of the 740 Ninja World War, Sarutobi Hiruzen will completely establish his power in Konoha Village. After the war is over, no one will be able to shake the prestige of the Third Hokage!

This! This is what Sarutobi Hiruzen pursues!

Let him see who will have the last laugh in this Ninja World War.

The Land of Thunder, Raikage's Office.

At this moment, the Third Raikage chose to receive Zabuza Momochi with the highest standard of courtesy, which was completely different from his previous attitude.

As the saying goes, this time and that time.

Previously, when Zabuza Momochi came to deliver a letter, the Third Raikage's attitude was very cold, and he was very indifferent to cooperation with Kirigakure.

But now, Iwagakure used the method of sneaking into Chencang to suddenly declare war on Kumogakure.

For the Third Raikage, the value of this olive branch from Kirigakure immediately began to multiply.

The Moon Kingdom cannot afford to lose to the Thunder Kingdom.

But now, on the side of the Fire Country, Konoha, which had originally formed an alliance with Kumogakure, is unable to take care of itself and is completely unable to support Kumogakure.

However, due to its own problems, the Cloud Village fell into weakness and was caught by the Rock Village.

The battles between big countries are not like those between small countries, where they can fight and stop at will.

Since Iwagakure has chosen to take action, they will definitely not give up halfway. It is foreseeable that this will be a protracted war.

The longer the war drags on, the greater the test will be on the country's foundation, strength and resilience.

In the short term, both sides may win or lose, but over time, the gap between the two sides will continue to be narrowed until it finally turns into a situation of mutual consumption.

In the war that Iwagakure had planned for a long time, Kumogakure's disadvantage was not just being caught off guard.

The Cloud Village, which had previously thought it was safe, not only failed to notice and prepare for the Iwagakure's surprise attack, but also failed to stockpile enough strategic supplies.

In this situation, once the war breaks out, it won't take long for Yunyin's material reserves to be consumed. Without important war supplies such as medical care and weapons, Yunyin will inevitably be unable to continue this battle. Therefore, if Yunyin does not want to lose, it can only seek a solution.

Zabuza Momochi, the Kirigakure envoy who had previously been sent to Kumogakure, is the only hope for Kumogakure right now.

"Greetings, Lord Raikage."

The first time is new, the second time is familiar. Having had the experience of meeting the Third Kazekage, Zabuza Momochi spoke meticulously to the Third Raikage in front of him.

"Ambassador Taodi, please take a seat."

The Third Raikage spoke politely to Zabuza Momochi, his tone full of importance.

Upon hearing this, Zabuza Momochi did not hesitate too much and sat directly in front of the Third Raikage.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the air was a little awkward.

After all, the Third Raikage had just flatly rejected the alliance offered by Kirigakure. Now that Kumogakure was suffering from a war, if he kept bringing up the past, it would seem a bit too snobbish.

"Lord Raikage, I wonder what you think of the alliance proposed by Kirigakure? (chcc)"

Seeing this, Zabuza Momochi did not stick to what happened before, but took the lead in giving the Third Raikage a way out.

Upon hearing this, a complex expression flashed in the eyes of the Third Raikage. He didn't expect that Zabuza Momochi would be so forgiving.

"To be honest, you're more aware of the current situation in Kumogakure."

"Kumogakure really needs this alliance right now."

The Third Raikage did not hide anything, but spoke directly and frankly without putting on any Raikage airs.

As the saying goes, if you give me a peach, I will give you a plum in return.

Face is a mutual thing. Since Zabuza Momochi has let go of the past, the Third Raikage naturally won't be arrogant.

"The Kirigakure's attitude towards cooperation with Kumogakure has not changed."

"You may rest assured of that."

"After the alliance is concluded, Kirigakure will continue to provide material support to Kumogakure at the same price as before."

"And at the right time, Kirigakure will also provide combat support to Kumogakure."

Zabuza Momochi stated all of Kirigakure's conditions in one breath, and his words made the Third Raikage's expression change again.

It’s not that the conditions proposed by Zabuza Momochi are that harsh, but rather that they are a bit too generous.

After all, things are different now. Now that Kumogakure has been dragged into the quagmire of war, the importance of these war supplies to Kumogakure has increased dramatically.

The Third Raikage had already prepared for Kirigakure to raise the price at this time, but he did not expect that Kirigakure had still maintained its previous attitude, which made the Third Raikage somewhat touched.

"If Kirigakure is willing to do so, I naturally have nothing to say."

"It's not that I don't appreciate your kindness, but I'm curious about something."

"Why is Kirigakure willing to lend a helping hand to Kumogakure?"

Although he was touched, there were some things that the Third Raikage, as the highest military leader of the Land of Lightning, had to figure out.

He asked Momochi Zabuza with a burning gaze, his eyes full of inquiry.

There is no free lunch in the world. He was sure that the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure did this because he must have some desire for Kumogakure.

"You don't have to worry."

"Mizukage-sama told me before he left."

"The reason why Kirigakure is willing to always treat Kumogakure with kindness is just to gain Kumogakure's friendship."

"If I had to say what Kirigakure wants from Kumogakure, it would probably be a favor from Raikage-sama."

Zabuza Momochi spoke slowly, his voice neither hurried nor impatient, but this answer shocked the Third Raikage.

"Humanity"

"I see."

The Third Raikage muttered to himself, then showed an understanding expression, and a smile appeared on his rough and majestic face.

"Then I accept this alliance as the Third Raikage!"

The Third Raikage said this very seriously, with dissatisfaction and determination in his eyes.

"In that case, you might as well write a letter."

"Show Kumogakure's attitude so I can return to Kirigakure and report to Mizukage-sama."

Zabuza Momochi spoke in a calm and composed manner, his actions well-reasoned.

"it is good!"

Seeing this, the Third Raikage readily agreed.

Chapter 235: The Ninja World is our plate, and all living beings are our children

Kirigakure, all the important information of the ninja world in recent days is placed on the desk in front of Mizunoe Ryosuke.

At this point, the Second Ninja World War entered its fierce stage.

Except for the Water Country, all other countries have been dragged into the war.

There was a huge chessboard in front of Mizunoe Ryosuke. The chessboard had the ninja world as the base and all living beings as the pieces. Mizunoe Ryosuke placed the chess pieces one after another on the chessboard.

The reason why he tirelessly traveled to various countries was to lay out a big network.

This will achieve the goal of establishing the dominant position in the Kirigakure Ninja World after this battle!

Afterwards, Mizunoe Ryosuke placed five chess pieces with the words water, wind, rain, thunder, and iron written on them in a camp.

The other two chess pieces with the words "fire" and "earth" written on them were placed in other camps.
