Chapter 541: The sudden change in the war situation (Part )
So, after making the decision, Wolong Mizutomon En personally went to the Hidden Rain Village to discuss cooperation matters with Hanzo.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sent the 5,000 ninjas on standby in the village directly to the border to meet up with the ninja troops that had been withdrawn from the front line of River Country and were now stationed at the border, waiting for news from Mito Kado En.
Once Mito Kado En and Hanzo reach an agreement, Konoha will launch an offensive at the same time as Amegakure to invade the Wind Country and have a real fight with Kirigakure.
You know, the Hidden Rain Village, with the presence of Hanzo of the Salamander, is not weak.
Although Rain Village is no longer at its peak after the Second Ninja World War, it can still be considered the first tier after the five major ninja villages.
Therefore, in the eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Hina, the alliance between Konoha and Amegakure may not be able to definitely defeat Kirigakure, but at least they should be able to drive Kirigakure out of the Wind Kingdom.
Moreover, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not worried that Hanzo would reject Konoha's proposal. He thought he knew Hanzo very well. In order to develop and protect the Hidden Rain Village, he believed that the chips offered by Konoha were something Hanzo could not refuse.
-----------------
the other side.
The Hidden Cloud Village also received information that the Hidden Mist Village had attacked the capital of the Land of Earth.
All I can say is that the development of things is full of various coincidences.
For the Hidden Cloud Village, which has been gearing up for war for a long time and thinks that it is already the strongest in the ninja world, they have long been planning to get involved in this ninja world war.
The first target chosen by the Third Raikage Ai was the Iwagakure Village in the Land of Earth!
In the eyes of Ai, who is used to speaking with his fists and is well-known in the ninja world for his reckless image, a surprise sea raid on the Land of Earth, which does not border the Land of Lightning at all, is bound to be a great success.
Therefore, several months ago, the Hidden Cloud Village sent a large number of spies to the territory of the Land of Earth to collect intelligence.
Thus, the news that the Iwagakure Village was destroyed in a battle with the Kirigakure Village was learned by the Kumogakure spies who were lurking in various places in the Land of Earth to collect intelligence, and the news was promptly transmitted back to the Kumogakure Village.
This made the Third Raikage Ai a little bit hard to accept, but they, the Hidden Cloud Village, were already prepared.
Therefore, whether it was the Third Raikage Ai or other Kumogakure high-ranking officials, or ordinary Kumogakure ninjas, they were all extremely angry towards Kirigakure who invaded the Land of Earth before them.
So, the Third Raikage Ai waved his hand and led the team to attack the Water Country.
Since the Iwagakure Village is gone, then let's take advantage of this perfect opportunity when the main force of the Kirigakure Village is in the Land of Earth and has no time to return for reinforcements, and destroy the Kirigakure Village first!
.........
.........
.........
The actions of Konoha and Kumogakure were quickly discovered by White Zetsu's clone, and reported promptly to Seiji who was in the capital of the Land of Earth.
After learning about the respective operations of Konoha and Kumogakure, Qingsi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Isn't this just like someone giving him a pillow when he's sleepy? This series of actions by Konoha and Kumogakure just happened to suit his wishes.
Especially in Kumogakure, the Third Raikage Ai personally led elite troops to raid his Kirigakure Village, which meant that the defense force in Kumogakure Village was unprecedentedly weak at this time.
It can be said that this is the perfect time to capture the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki!
So, after leaving Xiguashan Fuguki and Tsuchisuma Nobito to coordinate the affairs of Iwagakure Village and the Land of Earth and arranging everything, Kiyoshi took the remaining few ninja swordsmen and most of the chunins and jonins, and used the "Yozen Hirasaka" to return to the Kirigakure Village.
He will give a head-on blow to the Third Raikage Ai and the Hidden Cloud Army who dared to invade!
I guess the Third Raikage Ai would never have thought that the Kirigakure troops still in the Land of Earth would be able to return to the Land of Water in time!
-----------------
Inside Mizukage's office.
Kiyoshi is assigning tasks to Nagato, who has just sealed the Five-Tails.
The only thing left for the resurrection of the Ten-Tails are the last two, eight, and nine tailed beasts. Therefore, Seiji decided to attack Konoha's Nine-Tails and Kumogakure's Two-Tails and Eight-Tails at the same time as Konoha attacked the Wind Country and Kumogakure attacked the Water Country.
He planned to capture the strongest Nine-Tails himself, while the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails would be left to Nagato and Black Zetsu.
As for the upcoming attack by the Kumogakure troops led by the Third Raikage Ai, Qingsi handed them over to the Third Mizukage Bing who had already returned from the Sand Village with the Angkor Fortress.
Of course, in Qingsi's opinion, the Third Mizukage Bing only needs to be responsible for the pressure and command.
After all, there are too many Kage-level fighters available in the Mist Village at this time. Even if a part of them are divided to support the Wind Country to deal with the combination of Konoha and Amegakure, it will be enough to crush the Cloud Country.
Just talking about the perfect Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Mei Terumi, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is worth a hundred alone.
Not to mention that this is a battle on home soil, and most of the Kirigakure ninjas are in extremely advantageous geographical locations.
In addition, there is one point that must be mentioned, and that is the Uzumaki clan.
You know, the Uzumaki Country was destroyed by the Third Raikage Ai himself, and it can be said that the Uzumaki clan and the Hidden Cloud Village have a blood feud.
Therefore, when they learned that the Hidden Cloud Village had once again invaded their home, the entire Uzumaki clan was immediately furious. If Qingsi had not stopped them, I'm afraid the entire Uzumaki clan would have rushed out in full force to avenge the blood feud that almost wiped out their clan.
