Gou in the ninja world

Chapter 140 Suspicious clouds of war

The reason for the third Ninja World War that happened more than ten years ago was the disappearance of the third generation Kazekage of Sand Hidden Village, and this time, although Oda Nagisa's status is not as high as Kazekage, there is still a bird of Kazekage among them. Even though it is a small country, the death of a national daimyo is enough to push the situation to the national level.

Naturally, as the main participants, the Kingdom of the Wind, the Kingdom of the Birds and the Kingdom of the Earth have been involved in this vortex. There is nothing to pay attention to other than the daimyo, no matter who you see, you have to call him dad.

The key is the country of the wind that made the attack, the country of the earth that was involved by Nagisa Oda, and the country of fire that just finished the Chunin exam, as the host who invited the daimyo of the bird country to watch the Chunin exam , They can't completely stay out of it, so three of the five major countries have been involved.

This situation is very similar to the Third Ninja World War that year.

The ninjas couldn't help feeling flustered, fearing that the fragile peace maintained in just a few decades would be broken again, and war would come again.

War is cruel. Every war will be accompanied by the death of countless ninjas. At the same time, countless people will lose their precious relatives and friends. Therefore, no one wants to see war break out again.

"Wait a minute."

At this time, a ninja with a bushy beard in the crowd who looked older stood up and spoke out.

"Master Hokage, more than ten years ago, I once fought against that Iwanin called Oda Nagisa on the battlefield. His strength is not weak. According to my understanding, he doesn't seem like the kind who would simply kill others. ninja."

"It's Junpei."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi turned his eyes, followed the prestige, and recognized the ninja who made the sound.

"I remember that during the Third Ninja World War, on the battlefield of the Country of Grass, you were one of the few people who fought to the last moment on the front line of fighting Iwa Ninja."

Tsunade may not know much about the late stage of the Third Ninja World War, but Hiruza Sarutobi remembers it clearly.

He knew that this ninja had indeed fought Iwa Ninja on the battlefield.

"Yes."

The ninja named Junpei nodded and recalled: "It should be the end of the Third Ninja World War. My team was stationed in the Country of Grass to fight against the invasion of the Country of Grass. The route turned to attack Yan Ninja in the Land of Fire, that is, in that battle, I fought against the Jonin known as Oda-sama."

"How is the result?"

Turning to bed Xiaochun asked, finding out Oda Nagisa's true strength can help them reason about the process.

"It can only be said that it is not an easy ninja to deal with."

Chunping looked dignified, and said in a deep voice, even today, he can still recall the scene back then.

"Back then, Oda Nagisa was a member of the special force of Iwanin Village. Everyone in the force was not weaker than Jōnin. Especially the earth-dun ninjutsu was superb. A dozen of them launched the charge together. , broke through our front line of defense in one fell swoop, and many comrades died in that battle, if the fourth generation of adults hadn't arrived in time, maybe even I wouldn't be standing here."

"Iwa Shinobi's special forces..."

Turning to sleep, Xiaochun's eyes flickered for a moment, and there was a trace of memory in his eyes. He nodded slightly, and understood that she had an impression of this team.

"However, I always thought that this army has been completely solved by the fourth generation."

"I thought so too."

Junpei also found it a bit unbelievable. The Fourth Hokage single-handedly killed more than 50 local ninjas on the battlefield. It happened right in front of his eyes. The special forces of Iwa Ninja have not appeared since that time. They all thought that they had all been wiped out, but they didn't expect that there was one survivor.

"It seems that he probably left before the fourth generation arrived."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said that he knew the strength of Namikaze Minato, if it was him, it would be impossible to leave such a fish that slipped through the net, then there is only one conclusion, that is when Namikaze Minato rushed to the front line to support , Oda Nagisa also retreated from the front line for some special reasons, so he escaped a catastrophe.

"A fish that slipped through the net back then?"

Tsunade sneered, probably the Daimyo of the Bird Country paid a lot of money to hire such a ninja with a special identity and strength from the Land of Earth.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that even such a veteran Jonin could not save his life in the conflict.

"Hokage-sama, I have a question."

At this time, someone in the crowd raised their hands again and expressed their doubts.

"Didn't our intelligence personnel notice the appearance of such a master?"

He said.

The joint Chunin exam is a very important event, and the safety of the event is the most important thing. Although it is an invitation from the country of fire, when the guests enter the country, they will also conduct detailed inspections to prevent certain dangers Personnel and weapons flow into the country to avoid possible dangerous incidents.

According to common sense, if such a well-known master served as a guard, he would have been discovered by the border inspectors when he entered the Land of Fire.

"It should be because he didn't enter the Land of Fire." Tsunade was silent for a while, and explained: "The security work of the special guests in the Land of Fire was taken over by Konoha Village. When entering the country, Except for a small number of entourages, the rest of the guards stayed in the border area, maybe this Oda Nagisa also knew about the conflict with our Konoha before, so he never entered the territory of the Fire Kingdom, but stayed outside the border and waited."

"No wonder."

The man murmured, that makes sense.

"However, how could such a master who participated in the third ninja world war die easily in the hands of sand ninja along with his daimyo?"

This time, the person who spoke was Kakashi. During the attack on the Daimyo of the Bird Country, he also found many suspicious points, the most critical of which was the death of Nagisa Oda.

After all, he was also a person who participated in the third Ninja World War, so he clearly knew how tragic that war was, and how difficult it would be for those who survived that war to the end.

It can be said that it was a sharp confrontation of resourcefulness and strength. Unless the luck is really against the sky, only ninjas with top strength and strategy can survive the life-and-death fights.

Although the strong are not necessarily victors on the battlefield, those who can survive on the battlefield of blood and fire cannot be a simple character.

People who have been on the battlefield have a very keen sense of killing intent and danger. Coupled with their rich experience, they can deal with all kinds of dangerous situations. If you want to escape, you can definitely do it.

Nagisa Oda is such a person. Kakashi has also seen the strength of the Iwanin Special Forces on the battlefield. Although it is not as good as his current self, each of them is an absolute elite. With their strength, Only experts at the Five Kage level can keep them.

"So, it depends on who the person who made the shot is."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi said with a gloomy expression.

Kakashi was right. Of course, an ordinary ninja couldn't easily kill a veteran who survived the battlefield, but what if the person who shot was unusual?

What if the person who launched the attack was the shadow of a village?

This possibility is not impossible. Although the Kingdom of Birds is located next to the Kingdom of Winds, its geographical location and climate are much better than the Kingdom of Winds, which is full of yellow sand. For so many years, it has been coveted by the Kingdom of Winds The target, in fact, during the second generation of Kazekage, the Kingdom of Wind once wanted to plunder the land in the south of the Kingdom of Birds, but it was not successful because of the obstruction of the Kingdom of Earth.

The Fourth Kazekage Rasa is an ambitious and utilitarian person who has always wanted to make the Kingdom of Wind more powerful in his own hands. In order to achieve this goal, he even cooperated with Orochimaru in another timeline Together, they participated in the terrible Konoha collapse plan.

Although the result was not as perfect as he had expected - not only Sand Ninja and Otonin were completely abused by Konoha, but even himself was stabbed in the back by Orochimaru on the road and died tragically.

However, it is an indisputable fact that Luo Sha has a strong ambition. Although due to various factors, his ambition cannot be applied to Konoha, but it is not necessarily that he will not attack other countries.

"Hi Zhan, what do you mean..."

Turning to sleep Xiaoharu turned her head slightly, she is also someone who has seen the future, and she comprehended Sarutobi Hiruzani's view almost instantly.

"Wind Shadow?"

Tsunade said in a deep voice, if this is the case, it will be difficult.

"Luo Sha, would you have such courage?"

Turning to bed, Xiaochun frowned lightly. Although such a possibility was not impossible, she still felt that this kind of speculation was a bit bold. You must know that if you do this, you will not only provoke a country of little birds.

The land of birds and the land of soil are very close. In recent years, they have been trying to make friends with the land of land. It can even be said to be half a dependent country. If the land of the earth fights, there is a high probability that it will face the land of the earth.

It is impossible for the Fourth Kazekage not to consider this possibility.

"You know, the current Tsuchikage is Onoki, who is known as Daxuan."

Her face is serious and authentic. The current third-generation Tsuchikage is a very difficult person. Like them, that old man is an old man who has existed since the first generation of Kage, and even fought against Uchiha Madara back then. Both strength and actual combat experience are quite rich, and he can also use the light and heavy rock techniques secreted by Iwainin to fly, coupled with the superb dust escape, it can be described as quite tricky.

At this stage, there is almost no one in the ninja world who is more experienced than him. In the previous several ninja world wars, many top ninja masters failed in front of his dust.

Even in Konoha Village, which is full of talents, no one can guarantee that they can definitely beat the third generation of Tukage.

"Perhaps, because the current ruler is the third generation of Tukage, in some respects, it may be easier to deal with..."

At this time, Shikahisa Nara who had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke out.

"Lu Jiu, what does this sentence mean?"

Tsunade looked over in surprise, and hurriedly asked.

"I think that Tuying's age may be regarded as a fatal weakness."

Nara Shikahisa looked back at Tsunade and explained.

Although it is true that Onogi is a difficult character, it is precisely because Onogi is in power that he exposes a huge flaw that is hard to hide.

"The third generation of Tukage has been a shadow for nearly 40 years. Among the five kages of the past, no one has been in power longer than him. Such a long term of office, although on the surface it represents a strong personal strength. , but it also reflects a very critical problem, that is, there is no one in Iwanin Village who can take over the position of shadow."

Nara Shikahisa pondered for a while, and analyzed like this.

"In addition, he is now over 70 years old. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, even if he is still alive at this age, it is still unknown how much strength he has left. Perhaps, for the current Tuying , As the shadow of protecting a country, he has gradually lost the powerful deterrent power he used to have."

Indeed, the third point is that Tsuchikage Onogi is a very powerful ninja with strong ninjutsu, rich experience, and a very high seniority. In terms of age alone, it can be said that the current kages in all major villages are all his juniors.

But it is because of such an advanced age that a sharp problem emerges.

Shadow is not that the higher the generation, the better. Human physical strength and energy are limited. Generally speaking, when you reach the age of 50, you have reached the apex. Unless you have special physical fitness, the next step is a downhill process.

At this age, various negative factors such as aging, disease, loss of energy, and chakra reduction will follow one after another. It is not a favorable choice to occupy a high position at this time, because the work of shadow is quite heavy, and there are 10 people in a village. They all live under his leadership, and there is no room for slack, so they are always busy from morning till night.For middle-aged and elderly people in their fifties and sixties, as time goes by, their energy is becoming less and less enough to cope with busy work.

Generally speaking, when the film is approaching the age of 50, it is time to choose the successor of the next generation.

For example, Sarutobi Hiruzen back then felt that his strength was not good at the age of 54, so he chose Namikaze Minato as the fourth Hokage.

However, Onogi is 76 years old this year. For ordinary ninjas, even if they are not suffering from illnesses, it is time to take care of themselves.However, at this time, he still insisted on being in office, working hard for the official affairs of Iwanin Village. Although his name and strength once ruled the ninja world back then, he has not done anything in the past ten years, and he still retains much strength. No one knows, and this also reflects a problem, that is, there is no suitable heir in Yanren Village.

Shadow is the highest representative of a country's military power. Although it may not be the strongest person in Ninja Village, it is absolutely impossible to be too weak.Only ninjas who are strong enough and have high prestige can become shadows.

As a symbol of strength, the shadow in power, the older or the younger is not good news. If the seniority is too high, it means that the young people in the village are useless and have no successors. If the seniority is too low, it means that the country is in trouble. Difficulties lead to constant sacrifices and frequent replacement of leaders.

Generally speaking, ten to 20 years as a generation is a very suitable rotation. A generation of shadows takes office when they are young and strong, and then abdicates when they are about to grow old and weak. Good choice.

Ninja Village can always have the youngest and most powerful leader, leading the country step by step towards prosperity, and the leader can also take care of his life at the right time, without having to support his old body to work hard and be exhausted from official duties.

Therefore, according to the most reasonable arrangement, it is most appropriate for each ninja village to be the fourth-generation kage at this time, and the third-generation Tsuchikage is still unable to abdicate at an advanced age of 80. It can only be said that there is no one in the village who can stand on his own The successor needs this old man to step in to withstand all kinds of pressure from inside and outside.

This is not a good sign.

For most ninjas, as long as they pass middle age, their peak period will pass, and their strength will continue to decline with age.

Today, more than ten years have passed since the third Ninja World War. With normal logical reasoning, Onogi's energy must have been much worse than before, and his deterrent power against countries is not as strong as it was back then. Perhaps because of this, he is no longer He was put in the eyes of the young and strong Sidai Kazekage.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was also the ninja hero of Megatron in the ninja world back then. He dominated the ninja world and led Konoha to win several battles in the ninja world.

However, even so, at the age of 70, in the original timeline, Luo Sha still dared to push his tiger beard, and sent Sand Ninja to openly attack Konoha. It is very reasonable that Onogi, who is older than him, would be treated like this up.

"Is that right?"

After listening to Nara Shikahisa's explanation, the crowd exploded again in an instant, and people whispered to each other, discussing the possibility of this point of view.

"I see."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded slightly, thoughtfully.

Indeed, this possibility is not impossible. They have seen the future, so they know that although Onoki is old, he still retains the fact that he is not weak.

However, the Fourth Kazekage Luo Sha didn't understand this point. Perhaps, from his point of view, he would really deduce it based on his age, and he might regard Onoki as a dying old man whose strength had declined seriously.

However, this is only Nara Shikahisa's inference, and we have to wait for more detailed information about the facts.
