Chapter 117: Cowardly?
Chapter 117: Cowardly?
Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes, I forgot. In the past two months, we have been preparing for the possibility of you going to the battlefield. How can we be fully prepared and then retreat when the situation comes? This is really unreasonable. It's me. I was negligent, I shouldn’t have asked you this question.”
Shinichi glanced in the direction of the Hokage's office and shook his head.
"Master, let's start training."
The Chuunin Exams are still close to two months away, so there's no need to rush.
Besides, although there are many exceptional characters in this Chunin Exam, isn't he Uzumaki Shinichi?
Judging from his current strength, Uzumaki Shinichi must be at the chuunin level.
Even if there are many outliers in the Chuunin Exam this time, he doesn't have to worry, because he is one of them, and if he has to worry, others are also worried.
Training, keep going!

rock hidden.
Ohnoki fell into a headache.
Now, not only did his back hurt, but his head also started to hurt.
As mentioned before, Onoki severed diplomatic relations with Konoha mainly to test the reactions of several other major powers and see if any of them would join him in attacking Konoha.
Then, now, two months have passed. Those who want to do the movements must have finished it, and those who don’t want to do the movements can’t do them either.
Not long ago, Ohnoki received a report on the recent developments in the three shinobi villages of Sunagakure, Kirigakure, and Kumogakure.
Among them, let's talk about Kumogakure first. One of Kumogakure's characteristics is that it particularly advocates force. It is a militarized power. Its desire for expansion is the greatest, even greater than Iwagakure.
Therefore, in the face of Iwagakure's actions, Kumogakure gave an unhesitating reply - the army was mobilized frequently, and food and grass were also counted.
Anyone can see that Kumogakure is preparing for war!
This move of Kumogakure is equivalent to constantly ogling Iwagakure, saying, "Master, please hit me quickly. If you hit me, I will follow you immediately."
This makes Onoki very happy, Kumogakure, my brother!
However, the next two countries made Onoki's head full of black lines.
First of all, it is Sunagakure. Sunagakure has also mobilized troops, but not much. They are basically strengthening the border defenses.
This attitude is equivalent to telling Ohnoki, "You can do whatever you want. Don't take me with you. I'll take care of my defense. Just don't come and hit me."
This means that if a war really breaks out, Sunagakure will never participate in the early stage of the war. Perhaps, in the middle and late stages of the war, Sunagakure will change his mind and participate, but at least, it is impossible in the early stage of the war.
Because Sunagakure is now only prepared for defense and not for war. Even if he wants to participate in the early stage of the war, he will need time to prepare, and this preparation is basically over in the early stage of the war.
Therefore, Sunagakure will not fight Konoha with Ohnoki.
The last one, Kirigakure, the operation of this Kirigakure is what confuses Onoki the most.
Kirigakure, he mobilized the army and began to prepare for various needs of the war. Everything is fine.
But the problem is that most of Kirigakure's troops are concentrated in its north!
What is the north of Kirigakure?It's the sea!
What's across the sea?It's Kumogakure!
In other words, by concentrating its military forces in the north, Kirigakure is making a statement that if a war breaks out, it will fight Kirigakure!
On Konoha's side, even if Kirigakure attacks Konoha, he will only use a few weak forces to do so.
Onoki was very confused about this. Among the five great ninja villages, Konoha was the most powerful, followed by Iwagakure and Kumogakure, and finally Sunagakure and Kirigakure.
You said, you are a Kirigakure and you go to fight Kumogakure without any helpers. Is there something wrong with your brain?
Why don't you come over and help me beat Konoha together?Why are you just thinking about beating that Po Yunyin?You can’t beat me either!
After much deliberation, Onoki didn't quite understand Kirigakure's intentions. He could only guess that maybe Kirigakure's new Mizukage was younger and more energetic.
Anyway, Ohnoki is old, so being brave or passionate has nothing to do with him. He will only analyze things calmly and objectively.
At this point, Onoki has received replies from the three big countries. Kumogakure will help him defeat Konoha, Sunagakure does not want to participate in the war, and Kirigakure will also help him defeat Konoha, but only a small force will be sent. Its main force will still go Beat Yunyin.
Onoki's original idea was that if there was only one big country to help him fight Konoha, then he would not fight. If there were more than one country, then he would fight.
The current situation is that Kumogakure and Kirigakure plan to help Onoki, but while helping Onoki, these two teammates are also preparing to fight each other...
This......
While Konoha wasn't fighting, teammates started killing each other.
Therefore, Ohnoki had a headache.
Hit Konoha!Yes, after all, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure are fighting together in the Ninja Village. This battle can be fought!
However, before attacking Konoha, Kumogakure and Kirigakure are expected to be at war with each other for a period of time. During this period, Ohnoki will definitely not get much support.
In other words, at the beginning of the war, Iwagakure needed to bear most of the pressure brought by Konoha alone, while Iwagakure's two teammates had to fight, and they could only come to help Iwagakure after the fight.
Ohnoki was very hesitant. Should he fight?
After thinking for a long time, this shameless old man decided to kick the ball to Yunyin and let Yunyin decide whether to play or not.
If Kumogakure starts the war, then Iwagakure will naturally not have to bear most of Konoha's pressure at the beginning.
So, that day, a piece of "grapevine news" came out from Iwagakure.
It is said that Iwagakure is now interested in re-establishing diplomatic relations with Konoha and intends to reconcile with Konoha.
This "gossip" quickly spread to Yunyin.
......
mid-December.
Cloud hidden.
The Third Raikage listened to the ANBU's report with a somewhat unhappy look in his eyes.
"That old guy Onoki! He wants us Kumogakure to make the decision!"
Why?Because once Iwagakure and Konoha reconcile, then this war will not be fought, even if it wants to be fought.
The remaining two families, one Kumogakure and the other Kirikage, might not be able to defeat Konoha even if they join forces, not to mention the fact that these two families are still fighting among themselves?
Therefore, once Iwagakure and Konoha reconcile, no one can even think of fighting this war!
And this was intolerable to Yunyin.
Ever since Iwagakure and Konoha broke off diplomatic relations, Kumogakure has been constantly preparing for war. How much manpower and material resources have been wasted in this?
Now, in general, preparations for war are complete, but Ohnoki, do you want to stop fighting?
To put it crudely, I have taken off my pants and you are just showing me this?
Therefore, Kumogakure definitely cannot accept not fighting, and it cannot be said that he cannot accept it at all, but at least, unless it is absolutely necessary, Kumogakure will not agree to peace.
Ohnoki understands this, so by releasing the news of "reconciliation", he is forcing Kumogakure to make a decision.
If you don’t make a decision, I, Iwagakure, won’t fight!So make your decision quickly!
The Third Raikage also understands this. If he starts a war now, Iwagakure will definitely follow, and the preparations for the war will not be wasted.
However, the question is, is it a good thing to take the initiative to declare war?
If this is a good thing, can Onoki throw it to you?
This is a big bad thing!
Everyone understands this fact.
Once Kumogakure declares war, he will definitely be attacked by Konoha. Even if he is attacked by Konoha, there is a little Kirigakure next to him, who is also ready to hit him.
Although the Third Raikage looked down on Kirigakure,...
Um......
If Kirigakure and Konoha come together, then...
Do you want to give in?
The Third Raikage hesitated.
