Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the beginning

"Let's send someone to negotiate with the Hidden Rain Village first. As long as the Hidden Rain Village disagrees, the Hidden Sand Village's plan will not succeed."

The third generation suggested that he meant to avoid war if possible, as he was a staunch anti-war member.

Of course, if war is really inevitable, he will not back down.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Hokage."

"Okay, let's negotiate first."

The Hokage had spoken, and the clan leaders still gave face to the Third Hokage and did not refute.

Anyway, they knew that the Sand Village would not easily cancel that crazy plan.

And Konoha will never let the Sand Village's crazy plan come true.

War is inevitable, it just depends on when it will start.

Walking out of the Hokage building, many clan leaders were still angry about the Sand Village's crazy plan.

As we all know, the Fire Nation is the country with the best geographical location, the best environment, and the richest average of all kinds of resources among the five major countries.

Among them, grain production is the largest among the five major countries, accounting for almost 40% of the grain production of the entire ninja world.

The Fire Nation makes a ton of money every year just from the food trade.

Not to mention other rich material resources.

The Fire Country’s reputation as the richest country in the ninja world is not undeserved.

The foundation for the Fire Nation to become a major grain-producing country is the Red Leaf River that flows from the Rain Nation into the Fire Nation.

The Red Leaf River starts from the Northwestern Rain Kingdom and ends at the southeastern estuary of the Fire Kingdom. The main channel of the river runs through the entire territory of the Fire Kingdom. Countless branch rivers outside the main channel penetrate into various parts of the Fire Kingdom like capillaries, nourishing the entire land of the Fire Kingdom.

It can be said that at least half of the Fire Country’s rich land and resources can be attributed to this Red Leaf River.

This is the mother river that nourishes the entire Fire Nation, but the Sand Village wants to change its course. What's the difference between this and directly taking the life of the Fire Nation.

The Fire Nation Daimyo would never allow such a situation to happen.

This war will receive the greatest support from Daming Prefecture.

The support of Daming Prefecture means unimaginable benefits.

To put it simply, Konoha is a huge military base.

The major ninja clans within Konoha are like legions.

The entire Konoha Village is a military group.

They have almost no business activities outside of Konoha Village, and war is their biggest channel for gaining profits.

The support of the Daimyo Prefecture is the biggest guarantee for them to gain huge benefits in the war.

Knowing that the Daimyo Prefecture would definitely strongly support the war with the Sand Village, the major clan leaders were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to start a war.

It's all about profit!

Chapter 47 The Second Ninja World War Begins

In the conference room.

After the clan leaders left, only the four-member Konoha Political Group remained: the Sandaime, Danzo, and two Hokage advisors.

Bump… The Sandaim put his index and middle fingers together and tapped the table lightly, attracting Danzo's attention before casually asking, "You don't seem to talk much today?"

Danzo smiled awkwardly, with a slightly unnatural look on his face.

In the past, the Third Hokage wouldn't even need to give him a hint with his eyes. He would have just rushed up and bit the Uchiha clan leader, making his own strong voice.

But this time, Danzo thought he had taken great advantage of the Third Generation with Li Yao, so he decided not to steal the Third Generation's limelight in this meeting, and did not notice the Third Generation's eye hints.

These things definitely cannot be told to the third generation.

Danzo had no choice but to explain: "Maybe I'm a little tired recently."

The Third Generation shook his head. He definitely didn't believe what Danzo said. Something must have happened to this guy. However, now was not the time to delve into Danzo. The affairs of the Sand Village were what gave the Third Generation the most headache.

"Danzo, the secret negotiations with Hanzo of the Salamander are now in your hands."

The Sandai said seriously: "We must not let the Hidden Rain Village agree to the Hidden Sand Village's plan. This is the bottom line. On top of that, it would be even better if you could get the Hidden Rain Village to stand on our side."

Danzo replied, "Understood."

The Sandai turned to look at Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En and said, "I'll leave the Daimyo Prefecture to you two."

After this incident, Konoha needed to report to the Daimyo's office, and at the same time express their determination not to let Sunagakure succeed. By the way, they also took the opportunity to propose to the Daimyo to increase Konoha's financial funding.

This is a good opportunity to ask for money, and the third generation will not let it go.

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En nodded in response, "We know what to do, Hiruzen."

Konoha responded one by one to the crazy plans of the Sand Village.

But before Konoha could implement its response, another explosive piece of information or incident instantly shocked the entire ninja world.

That very night, the Konoha high-level officials took countermeasures.

The Whirlpool Country founded by the Uzumaki clan was destroyed overnight.

No one knows who was destroyed, and no force has come forward to acknowledge it.

However, it is not so easy to destroy a country silently. It cannot be done without the strength of the five major hidden villages.

In fact, as soon as the news came out, the four major countries of Lei, Shui, Fengtu all stated that they did not do it.

But everyone knows that no one would believe that the four major countries were not involved.

The Land of Whirlpools was the first country to be destroyed since the end of the Warring States Period, and it had a profound impact on the ninja world.

Especially those small countries sandwiched between the five major countries, they all felt a strong sense of crisis of national extinction.

arms!

It must be improved greatly!

At this moment, the small countries seemed to have recognized the reality and no longer had any lucky thoughts. If they wanted to avoid being destroyed overnight like the Country of Whirlpool, they had no choice but to drastically improve their military strength, make their own voices in the ninja world, and arouse the fear of their secret enemies.

For a moment, the ninja world officially entered the madness before the war, and it all depended on who would be the first to lose control and start the fuse of the ninja war.

Many people originally thought that the fuse would be ignited first by Konoha, the Land of Fire.

After all, the crazy plan of the Sand Village is to dig up the roots of Konoha, and the Whirlpool Country, which has been an ally for generations, has been destroyed. These are enough reasons for Konoha to start a war.

But what no one expected was that it was not the Land of Fire, nor the other four of the Five Great Nations, that started the Ninja World War.

Instead, it was the Rain Kingdom, which borders the three kingdoms of Fire, Earth and Wind, that first ignited the flames of the Ninja World War.

In an instant, the news that the demigod of the ninja world, Hanzo of the Salamander, declared war on the Hidden Rain Village of the Rain Country, the Hidden Leaf Village of the Fire Country, the Hidden Rock Village of the Earth Country, and the Hidden Sand Village of the Wind Country simultaneously spread throughout the ninja world, shocking the entire ninja world.

How dare he?

How dare the Hidden Rain Village?

Countless people were confused and did not understand Hanzo's choice.

The three major countries also do not understand.

The three hidden villages were also confused.

Is the Hidden Rain Village so brave?

I don’t think that Hanzo, the Salamander, really thinks that the demigod of the ninja world is also a god.

He is not even a little bit inferior to the real God of the Ninja World, Hashirama Senju. The difference is like the difference of two dimensions.

Hashirama Senju was a godly figure who single-handedly ended the Warring States era that lasted for hundreds of years.

He is a man who could be defeated by Uchiha Madara, the Shura of the Ninja World.

How to compare Salamander?

Could it be that he wanted to end the Ninja Village era started by Hashirama to prove himself that he was the real God of the Ninja World?

Otherwise, why would he dare to declare war on the three hidden villages at the same time.

In short, no matter how much the world does not understand Salamander Hanzo's decision.

But it was indeed he who started the Ninja World War.

And it's more chaotic than you might imagine.

I thought that the three hidden villages were besieging the Hidden Rain Village, the demigod of the ninja world.

As a result, for some unknown reason, it suddenly turned into a melee mode with the four hidden villages fighting each other.

The Sand Village went to war with Konoha, Iwagakure, and Amegakure at the same time.

Konoha also went to war with Sand Village, Iwakira Village, and Amegakure Village at the same time.

The same thing happened to Iwagakure, which went to war with three hidden villages at the same time.

The Land of Rain became the main battlefield of the war between the three hidden villages and the four villages of the Hidden Rain Village.

In addition, Sunagakure and Konoha also opened up a second battlefield in River Country.

……

soon.

The time came to the summer of the 38th year of Konoha.

The great war between the four nations of Fire, Earth, Wind and Rain lasted for a year.

Small countries such as the Grass Country, which are sandwiched between the five major countries, have also started a war of annexation.

They hope to grow stronger while the three major powers are too busy to take care of other things, so as to gain territory and strength equal to the five major powers in a short period of time.

Since then, the ninja world has become increasingly chaotic, with most countries in the ninja world caught up in the chaos.

Among the five major countries, only the Land of Thunder and the Land of Water did not participate in the war.

But these two countries are also watching covetously from the sidelines and have no intention of sitting back and watching the fight. They are also preparing and waiting for the right opportunity to bite off the juiciest piece of fat in the Ninja World War.

The three major countries will not ignore their existence and will each take corresponding countermeasures.

Especially Konoha, who has been watched by the Land of Lightning, dare not let their guard down.

The ninja troops led by the Hokage advisor Mito Kado En have been operating along the border to monitor the Land of Lightning's every move.

On the coastline bordering the Land of Water, there is also a ninja unit led by the Hokage's advisor, Utatane Koharu, who is specifically guarding against the Hidden Mist.

On the battlefield of River Country, a ninja army led by the Nara clan leader, including powerful men such as Kakashi's father Hatake Soshige, fought against a ninja and puppeteer army led by the elder of Sand Village, Ebizo.

In the most intense battlefield of Rain Land, Danzo led a ninja army including the future three ninjas and the Hyuga clan, and many other powerful ninjas, and engaged in a fierce battle with the other three hidden villages.

Fight on multiple fronts, plus guard against the Land of Thunder and the Land of Water.

There are not many ninjas left from the major ninja clans in Konoha.

However, there are still some Uchiha clan members in Konoha who did not participate in the war and have retained all their combat power.

As well as the Sarutobi clan's Hokage guard ninja corps that stayed behind to deal with possible dangers, they also retained considerable combat power.

In addition, the powerful ones who stayed behind included the Third Hokage, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Mito, and the Uchiha clan leader, three Kage-level powerful ones.

The Anbu and the Root also left corresponding personnel to guard Konoha.

If we add in the strong ones left behind by other ninja clans.

It seems that after all this calculation, the combat power left by Konoha is still not comparable to that of any small country.

It has to be said that this is the terrifying strength of Konoha, the strongest hidden village in the ninja world.

If anyone thought that Konoha was weak at this time and wanted to launch a sneak attack, he would definitely get a bloody head.

Then the problem is coming.

Is there anyone who is so stubborn?

Really!

And there are two groups of people.
