Chapter 161 The Third War Begins

From June to August, for two whole months, the Sand Village was looking for the Kazekage.

There is a saying that the police have a golden 48 hours to find people. Although there is no such saying in the ninja world, if they can't find someone in a month, everyone has already guessed it.

By the second month, this search has become a chore.

The Sand Village ninjas are more concerned about who will be the fourth Kazekage after the third generation is gone?

There are currently three options with the highest voice in the Sand Village.

The first is the senior ninja Luo Sha, who is 21 years old this year.

His strength is not top-notch, but he masters magnetic escape.

Given that the second and third generations of Kazekage have mastered magnetic escape, this secret technique has basically become the standard for Kazekage.

Although Luo Sha is not the only magnetic escape ninja in the village, the other magnetic escape ninja is her girlfriend.

Now, there is no doubt that she will become a candidate for Kazekage.

The second is the senior ninja Ye Cang, who is 19 years old this year.

Although she is young and a woman, she is powerful.

While mastering the blood limit of burning escape, she is also a great beauty, and she wears backless clothes all year round, and doesn't mind giving benefits to the villagers.

She is also very popular in the village.

The third is the elder Chiyo.

Chiyo is highly respected, and unlike the old immortals in a certain village, she is greedy for power.

Once someone comes to power, Chiyo and his younger brother Ebizo will not hesitate to give up power and find a place to live in seclusion.

Strong, prestige, and love, of course, is the perfect candidate for Kazekage.

Although Chiyo is not young, isn't Ohnoki in the next village also an old man!

The choice of the fourth Kazekage was only verbal at first, but because they had been looking for someone in the desert for two months, everyone was very angry, and soon the argument turned into a quarrel, and then turned into a fight.

In just one week, dozens of conflicts occurred on the front line, and even four ninjas died in battle.

One of them was a senior ninja!

Chiyo realized that something was wrong, urgently stopped the mission, and chose to recall all ninjas.

Unfortunately, due to the chaotic situation in the Kingdom of Wind during this period, it was easy for spies to carry out their work.

As soon as she issued the order, it was in Ohnoki's hands.

Ohnoki had been preparing for war for two months, and seeing that the timing was perfect, he no longer hesitated.

The ninjas of Sand Village had just returned to the village, and the ninjas of Rock Village had already crossed the Kingdom of Bears and Birds and entered the Kingdom of Wind.

Chiyo was shocked and hurriedly dispatched troops. Three thousand Sand Village drove to the border and drove the Rock Village out.

But they only drove out the Kingdom of Wind. The Rock Village ninjas built a thousand-kilometer-long earthen wall on the border between the Kingdom of Bears, Birds and the Kingdom of Wind.

The ninjas of Sand Village were powerful in the desert, but they were helpless in the face of the tall walls.

The strength of Rock Village was powerful in the mountains, but they immediately became a dead end in the desert.

Neither side could cross the border.

After a stalemate of half a month, the leaders of both sides fully exchanged opinions and signed a ceasefire agreement.

The agreement requires both sides to withdraw some ninjas, leaving only a few ninjas to guard the border, and neither side is allowed to launch an invasion against the enemy again.

The Wind Country suffered a great loss in this battle, but Chiyo had no choice. The pillar of the country, the third generation, died. Although Ye Cang and Luo Sha were not bad in strength, their age was there after all, and they were far inferior to the opponent in terms of command experience and combat experience.

However, the problem was not big. As long as Konoha was taken, the strength of the Sand Village would increase greatly, and they would fight back sooner or later!

No wonder the Sand Village and the Rock Village looked down on Konoha, because Konoha itself tossed Hatake Sakumo to death, and one of the three Konoha ninjas also left.

Although there are still two, it is not a problem for Ye Cang Luo Sha to deal with one alone.

What? There is also a ninjutsu doctor Sarutobi Hiruzen?

Does he dare to leave the village?

Konoha does not have an advantage in top combat power, and Konoha is also the party with fewer bottom ninjas.

No matter how you look at it, the advantage is in the Sand Village!

Who would have thought that a Namikaze Minato would emerge in this war!

Konoha 44, August 28.

The peace agreement had just been signed, and the army of Sand Village did not stop at all, and marched south to attack the Kingdom of River.

And what was Konoha doing?

Konoha was still watching the show.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had known that the Sand Village was looking for something, but he didn't care at all, and didn't think it was a sign of an upcoming war.

After all, he was a pacifist, and he naturally thought that others were pacifists.

What good would it be for the Hokage if his subordinates made meritorious deeds? Aren't they afraid that their subordinates would have too high prestige and then lose the position of Kage?

After the war between Iwagakure and Sand Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen was even happier, and he sent two letters overnight, one to Chiyo and one to Onoki, advising the two families to make peace. What can't they sit down and talk about?

Then, he didn't receive a reply, but received news that the Kingdom of River was penetrated by the Sand Village ninja, the border post had been conquered, and the Sand Village ninja had entered the Fire Country.

September 1, 44th year of Konoha.

This day was the first day of the Konoha Village Ninja School, and as usual, the Hokage would give a speech here.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even show his head, he was busy in a meeting.

Hokage office building, meeting room.

Except for the senior ninjas who were on missions outside, all the others in Konoha Village were here.

In addition, there were also the heads of the major ninja clans.

Some of the older clan heads also brought their successors, such as the Hyuga family brought Hyuga Hiashi, and the Uchiha brought Uchiha Fugaku.

"This is the current situation!" Hiruzen Sarutobi distributed the battle report, and the jounin and clan leaders each had a copy.

"The news came from the second line of defense post half a day ago that the army of Sunagakure Village has reached our eyes. There is only 480 kilometers away from Konoha Village!"

480 kilometers, at the speed of a ninja, you can reach the door in one day!

"There is such a thing!" A jounin slammed the table angrily: "A mere Sunagakure village dares to attack Konoha, we should immediately gather our troops to fight them back!"

"Yes!" Another Jonin nodded: "I think they have forgotten how badly they were beaten by Konoha in the last war!"

Many Jounin who knew about it twitched their lips, "Hatake Sakumo was the one who fought well in the last war. It's none of your business?"

Others turned to look at the boy sitting in the ninja queue. Kakashi Hatake was only a chuunin, but because he was also the leader of the clan, he also came to participate in the meeting.

He was wearing a mask, so no one could see his expression, but Shihiro Aburame, who was sitting next to him, felt that the child looked a little happy.

What's there to be happy about?

Kakashi is happy that he has a younger sister.

After Hatake Sakumo faked his death, he joined the Ning organization and was responsible for supervision matters.

Then for some reason, he fell in love with one of his subordinates.

This subordinate was from a noble family, but he showed no mercy to the nobles. He had a good character, advocated fairness and justice, and did not lack love. He was completely different from other nobles Hatake Sakumo had seen.

He didn't know that this was a normal behavior after being stamped with a curse. He just felt that this nobleman was a bit unusual, and then he was moved by him inexplicably.

But with Hatake Sakumo's character, even if he is really tempted, he will just press it down.

But he couldn't help but this girl also fell in love with him, and then launched an attack on him.

Hatake Sakumo was an old-school ninja, but he was defeated immediately if he could withstand the attacks of young people.

The day before yesterday, Hatake Kakashi received news that his stepmother had given birth to a younger sister.

Kakashi won't be angry about having another stepmother. His mother has been dead for almost eight years, so there is nothing wrong with his father finding another stepmother.

He was just angry. The meeting had to be held today. He originally wanted to take on a mission and leave the village to see his sister!

"Ahem, be quiet!" Hiruzen Sarutobi knocked on the table and nodded to a few jounin who spoke. Konoha still needs such aggressive jounin!

However, he was not very satisfied with the performance of the heads of several major families.

He just sat there without saying a word, showing no expression even when the Fire Country was invaded.

What do you mean, you are not from the Fire Nation?

Sarutobi Hiruzen also knew the truth. Simple civilian ninjas might not be able to see what he did, but he couldn't hide it from these family ninjas.

But there are some things I can do, but you can’t do it if you despise me!

"We will definitely fight back!" Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked on the table to set the tone first: "Since our village was founded in Konoha, there has never been a precedent for being labeled as a village!"

Sora no Kuni: Huh?

"Now a mere country of wind dares to invade. If we don't teach him a lesson, won't other countries follow suit and invade us too?"

The ninja clan leader also began to nod.

The reason is this, although they look down on Hatake Sakumo, it does not prevent them from also looking down on Sunagakure Village.

The stinky out-of-towner came to Konoha to beg for food!

On the other hand, the clan leaders of the younger generation, such as Hinata Hizashi and Uchiha Fugaku looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with approval. Our Hokage is very domineering and worthy of being a doctor of ninjutsu.

"Now, I order the Jonin Classes 1 to 4 to bring their members to form the vanguard to stop Sunagakure's advance. Jiraiya, I order you to be the commander-in-chief of the front line against Sunagakure and lead the vanguard. Let’s go, the troops will be here soon!”

"Do we need to recall Tsunade?" Jiraiya raised his hand and asked: "Sunagakure Village is also a village good at using poison. If there are no top medical ninjas in charge, I'm afraid the casualties will be huge!"

"This." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment, then shook his head: "We won't recall him yet!"

I don't believe it. The medical ninja system has been developed for so many years. Can't we still fight without Tsunade?

but

Without Tsunade, who would lead the medical ninja force?

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while and looked at Hinata Hizashi: "Can the Hyuga clan support some clan members and be responsible for monitoring matters?"

"It's a matter of Konoha's safety, and the Hyuga clan has a duty to do so!" The old Hyuga clan leader nodded immediately.

Anyway, the safety of the Hyuga clan is guaranteed, so the Hyuga clan is never afraid of going to the battlefield.

"Also, I heard that the Hyuga clan has a genius named Hyuga Hizashi?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked again.

"Yes!" Hinata Hizashi nodded: "Hyuga Hizashi is my younger brother, and his strength is not much worse than mine!"

It stands to reason that the techniques of the Hyuga clan cannot be passed on to branch families, but who made Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hizashi have a good relationship.

As for whether this relationship is real or staged.

This is not important.

"Very good!" Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "Then how about asking Hizashi to serve as the chief guard of the medical force?"

This appointment was not chosen randomly.

First, the Hyuga clan is good at reconnaissance. If someone attacks a medical ninja, they can be found from a long distance away.

Second, the Hyuga clan is good at defense. Even if they are really attacked, Hyuga Hizashi can hold on for a while until reinforcements arrive.

And thirdly, after Ningyuan changed jobs, the Hyuga clan supported many clan members to join Konoha Hospital and become medical ninjas.

It is only natural that your Hinata clan should be protected by Hinata's ninjas!

There is really not much selfishness in this appointment.

"I agreed on behalf of my brother!!" Hinata Hizu nodded earnestly.

"Very good!" Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction: "Then, the meeting is over. The vanguard will set off immediately. The remaining ninjas will organize their supplies and wait for orders at any time!"

"yes!"

Until now, everyone thought this was just a small conflict between Konoha and Sunagakure Village.

Who would have thought that this was just the prelude to a great war!
