The current actions of the Konoha ninjas do not seem like fighting, but rather expelling. They are constantly eliminating the strongholds and fortress positions of the Hidden Cloud Village in the Frost Country.
However, if the Hidden Cloud Ninja fled, they would not chase them, but would move forward one battalion at a time, and after digesting the territory, they would continue to encroach on it northwards like cutting sausages.
The Third Raikage actually didn't quite understand why Konoha did this.
But there is an old saying in the art of war that goes well.
When you can't understand the enemy's behavior, the best choice is not to sit and wait for death, but to stop it!
The Third Raikage understood this principle.
But he really didn't have the ability to stop it.
They could only watch as their own territory continued to shrink.
From the entire territory of the Frost Kingdom to half of the territory of the Frost Kingdom, 30% and 10%.
Until all the Hidden Cloud Ninjas are forced to withdraw from the Frost Country!
Next, the Third Raikage made two mistakes in predicting the battle situation.
The first time was when the Raikage thought that Konoha would take advantage of the situation to move the war into the Land of Lightning.
What follows is a tough and brutal battle to defend our homeland without giving up an inch.
Originally, the Raikage had already made the pre-war mobilization and asked everyone to be mentally prepared.
But unexpectedly, after the Hidden Cloud Village completely withdrew from the Frost Country, the people of Konoha did not continue to advance the front line.
Instead, they set up camp on the border between the Kingdom of Frost and the Kingdom of Thunder!
The Third Raikage thought about it and felt that perhaps this was an opportunity for Konoha to start peace talks.
After all, at this point in the war, the Hidden Cloud Village has fallen into an irreparable disadvantage.
If we continue to fight, we will really get angry!
In the all-out war to the death, the Hidden Cloud Village is about to use some tricks.
Chakra cannons and the like are not exclusive to Konoha!
The Hidden Cloud Village actually started researching similar things a long time ago.
It is just limited by the theoretical and technological levels and has not been completed yet. It is just an extremely bulky semi-finished product.
In addition to this, the Hidden Cloud Village also has some means of mutual destruction...or rather, every hidden village has some similar things.
Just like the Shiki Fuujin of the Third Hokage.
But the Third Raikage made another wrong prediction. He waited for a while, but never received any news of peace talks from Konoha.
"What on earth are those guys in Konoha trying to do..." Throughout the entire war, there was a strange smell everywhere.
This made the Third Raikage very uneasy.
.
.
.
After two months of preliminary preparations, the fairy artillery began to serve, and the war officially began two months later.
After four months, Orochimaru and Luo Cheng finally completed the second step of the plan and drove the Hidden Cloud Village back to their homeland in the Land of Lightning.
"Next..."
Now it’s time for the main show!
Minato Namikaze, who has entered the Sage Mode, stands beside Luo Cheng.
Four months of battlefield experience made Minato Namikaze less childish and more of a ninja's murderous aura.
Although in this war, both Konoha and Kumogakure fought very restrainedly.
But no matter how restrained you are, this is still war!
A large number of lives were lost. The people of the two small countries, the Kingdom of Hot Spring and the Kingdom of Frost, which became battlefields between the two major countries of Fire and Thunder, indiscriminately looked at all ninjas with fear and hatred.
Of course... they didn't dare to look at it directly, but Minato Namikaze, who possessed the power of a fairy, could sense the natural energy ripples caused by their emotions.
Fortunately, this will all be over soon!
"Let's begin. Let's start from this line and cut off this era of endless tragedy!" Luo Cheng pointed at the map and drew a straight line between the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Frost!

Chapter 29 The most laggy time
The three heroes who ended the Second Shinobi World War, two more ninjas who destroyed the world after Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
That's what some called them after the war.
After Konoha completely forced the Hidden Cloud Village back to the border of the Land of Lightning, Konoha set up camp steadily and made all preparations. Luo Cheng, Orochimaru, and Namikaze Minato began to act.
The three immortals used the joint ninjutsu developed by Luo Cheng.
This ninjutsu is a modified version of the 'Genki Rasengan'.
An attack that can continuously accumulate the natural energy between heaven and earth.
It is extremely powerful, comparable to Uchiha Madara's fully activated Susanoo and Hashirama's True Thousand Hands.
But there is a small drawback, that is, to achieve that level of power, even with Luo Cheng's current strength and the cooperation of three people, it would take 6 hours of charging power to do it!
Without the strong support of the fairy cannon, their tactics would basically be impossible to succeed.
But now, it's different.
When the first shocking explosion sounded near the coastline of the Frost Country, the Hidden Cloud Village thought that Konoha was experimenting with some terrible new ninjutsu or new technology.
And when the second explosion, the third explosion.
A 'short line' appeared on the map. Even the Third Raikage and the Kumogakure could tell what Konoha was planning, even if they were slow to react!
They thought about stopping it, and took action.
But it's of no use!
Under the cover of firepower, the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village couldn't even get close.
If it was a ninja from the Iwagakure Village, there might be some way.
For example, Luo Cheng and the other two cut through the border in the front, and they used joint earth-style ninjutsu to repair it in the back.
After all, the number of Konoha's ninjas is limited, and it is impossible to cover every inch of the border between the two countries.
The method adopted by the Konoha ninja was to slowly sweep across the border like a dot.
However, the Hidden Cloud Village did not have that many ninjas who were proficient in earth escape, so they could only watch as the border between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Frost was torn apart bit by bit.
After the land route leading to the outside world from the Land of Lightning was completely destroyed, the peace negotiation documents from the Land of Fire were sent to the Hidden Cloud Village and the Land of Lightning.
...In fact, the Third Hokage was unaware of Orochimaru and Luo Cheng's plan.
In other words, he only knew that these two people were going to cause trouble, but he didn't know what specifically they were going to do.
After all, information like the fairy cannon cannot bypass the Hokage.
But it was not until Orochimaru, Luo Cheng and Namikaze Minato began to act that he realized what they were going to do.
But at this point, it was too late to stop it.
He simply accepted his mistake and adjusted his peace negotiation strategy.
Shortly after receiving intelligence from the front line, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen went to meet the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and expressed his and the Hidden Leaf Village's attitude to him.
He attributed Orochimaru's cutting of the national border to the 'ninja community's aversion to war'.
Wasn't the Second Ninja War caused by the imbalance in economic development between countries and the fact that countries didn't want to be harvested by economically superior countries?
In that case, let’s not engage in trade!
Physically block the borders and let everyone go their own way from now on!
If anyone wants to go to war with Konoha next, there is nothing to say if you can win.
But if you lose, then today's Kingdom of Thunder will be you tomorrow!
There was no other way, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only make up for it in this direction, and then hand over the peace negotiation agreement to the Land of Lightning, and then spread this information to the ninja world.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's move was actually quite good.
After the news was released, the Fire Nation suddenly went from being the fat meat that everyone wanted to take a bite of, to a canned herring.
The purpose of war has never been to kill. Except for a few crazy people, most people will not be happy about destroying other lives.
The causes of war are interests and survival, and the goals of war are also guided by interests and survival.
If a war were to destroy everyone's business, even if the ninjas wanted to fight, the daimyos would not.
Although the ninja world is large and the terrains are different, it is not as "convenient" for other countries to block their borders as it is for the Land of Lightning.
Island countries like the Water Kingdom simply have no defense.
But the key is not here. The key is that Konoha showed that they have the ninjutsu ability to change the terrain on a large scale, and they showed through actions that they are willing to use this ability for their goals!
In fact, the Fire Nation is the country with the largest surplus in international trade. After blocking the border of the Thunder Nation, the losses of the Fire Nation are not much less than those of the Thunder Nation.
Logically speaking, it should be impossible for the Fire Nation Daimyo to pass such a major decision.
Konoha is the largest military organization in the Land of Fire. Although it has a high degree of autonomy, it still has to report to the Daimyo on strategic directions.
The most important affairs of a country are sacrifices and war. If one cannot even control the general direction of military affairs, then does this country belong to the daimyo or the Konoha Hokage?
So when Konoha did this, there were two possibilities in the eyes of other countries.
One is that the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has started to go crazy and is willing to sacrifice anything for the sake of safety.
Another thing is that this is the beginning of Konoha's "lonely march" as a national military organization.
The former is terrible, but the latter is even more terrible than the former.
If a daimyo goes crazy, someone will help him to sober up. After all, the daimyo is not supreme. If the daimyo goes too far, he can replace him with a more "sensible" person in the daimyo's family.
What's important is the existence of the daimyo. As long as the daimyo's bloodline is direct, and the ethics and principles that have been maintained in the ninja world for a thousand years are not destroyed, it's okay for someone else to sit in that position.
But no one can control the crazy ninjas. These are the real masters of violence, and no one has any good way to deal with them unless they encounter violence that is greater than them.
Economic checks and balances can control normal ninjas, but not madmen.
So for a moment, both Iwagakure and Kirigakure began to wonder whether it was really appropriate for them to leave at this time.
What if the people of Konoha went crazy and used the ninjutsu of cutting off the national border to destroy important transportation hubs within their own country, or even areas with high population density?
They have to consider the consequences.
After consulting with the daimyo of their respective countries, they decided to abandon their war preparations.
When the peace armistice agreement between Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village was officially signed, the entire Second Ninja World War came to an end.
The war that was originally going to sweep across the entire ninja world ended up involving only six countries: the Fire Country, the Rain Country, the Wind Country, the Soup Country, the Frost Country, and the Lightning Country.
Everyone knows that countries that did not participate in the war are not peace-loving. They simply feel that the benefits of fighting are too disproportionate to the cost. When the conditions are right, they will start the next war because their war potential has not been exhausted.
But this does not prevent everyone from feeling happy that peace has finally arrived.
.
.
.
Of course, the joy belongs to others and has nothing to do with the Hidden Cloud Village and the Land of Lightning.
Although ordinary people in the Land of Thunder do not like war and prefer peace.
But when this peace was achieved by being forced to close the country to the outside world, it was impossible to be happy about it.
In the past, the Land of Lightning was famous in the ninja world for its excellent animal husbandry. After the land route was cut off, their meat exports were also severely restricted. In addition, the cheap food from the Land of Fire could not pass through, and the farmers' breeding costs also increased.
This was a severe blow to the entire Kingdom of Thunder, from nobles and merchants to ordinary people.
It is definitely not as simple as losing the war, causing some deaths and losing some face.
