Chapter 371
After eating and drinking, the army continued to set off, but some people took Qianyue's words to heart.
During the rest at night, they prepared their own prey and ate barbecue.
Unfortunately, without seasoning and with cooking problems, the barbecue was hard to swallow, and it was better to eat dry food.
At the border of the Fire Country, the Sand Ninja Village occupied the border post and built a camp on the spot. It did not intend to go any further, as if waiting for the arrival of Konoha's reinforcements.
"Teacher, why don't you just kill into the Fire Country?"
Thousands of ninjas killing into the Fire Country may cause a lot of trouble to the Fire Country.
Glancing at his disciples, the Third Kazekage said lightly:
"A few years ago, I had the same idea as you and caused a lot of losses to the Fire Country and Konoha, but our own losses were not small, and we even offended the Fire Country Daimyo Mansion."
Isn't war about attacking the other side and causing as much damage as possible to the other side?
If you offend the Daimyo Mansion, you offend it!
That is the Fire Country Daimyo's Mansion. What does it have to do with our Sand Village?
Seeing that his disciples did not understand his intention, the Third Hokage said:
"After the war, the Fire Country Daimyo's Mansion was reluctant to accept our proposal to buy food supplies. In the end, it was the Daimyo who came forward to negotiate the purchase of supplies."
"The Daimyo was very angry about this. Coupled with the matter of the River Country Daimyo's Mansion, our Sand Village is even more on thin ice."
"So..."
Luo Sha was stunned:
"Teacher means that if we can defeat Konoha, we will forcibly occupy the rich land of the Fire Country.
If we cannot defeat Konoha, will wantonly destroy the Fire Country bring us trouble?"
"No, it's not just that."
"If possible, I don't mind entering the Fire Country."
The Third Kazekage clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. Who wouldn't want to do such a good thing as entering the Fire Country?
But the problem is that the Sand Village can't do this, because it is a compromise with the Wind Country Daimyo, otherwise the Daimyo will not support them.
The Second Ninja World War directly chilled the heart of the Daimyo of Wind Country and lost his face.
Coupled with the heavy war reparations and the Daimyo's indifference, the Sand Village had a very hard time.
In order to fight the war, the Daimyo's support was necessary, and the conditions of the Daimyo of Wind Country were also very simple.
I can support you, but you can't make trouble again, otherwise it will slap me in the face.
I don't care how the Sand Village and Konoha fight, and I don't care if the ninjas of the Sand Village sneak into the Fire Country to cut off Konoha's supply routes, but you can't do those things a few years ago.
Luo Sha is not stupid, otherwise he would not be able to become the fourth generation Kazekage.
After getting the advice of the Third Kazekage, he understood the embarrassing situation of the village.
He also understood the village's compromise with the Daimyo's mansion.
"But such a compromise is not good for our actions."
"I know, but the teacher has no choice. We must win this battle and cannot lose."
Waving his fist, the Third Kazekage changed the subject:
"Is there any reply from Ohnoki?"
The five major ninja villages each have certain contradictions and filthiness, and the Sand Village and the Rock Village are no exception.
The ninjas of the Rock Village have sneaked into the Kingdom of Wind many times to cause trouble, and the ninjas of the Sand Village have also visited the Land of Earth.
The relationship between the two villages is not as calm as it seems on the surface.
However, when the war broke out, the Third Kazekage decided to win over Ohnoki.
Invite Ohnoki to leave.
Luo Sha shook his head:
"There is no response from the Rock Village yet. Ohnoki seems to be still waiting and watching. I am afraid that the Rock Village will not leave so easily."
"No, he will."
Looking up in the direction of the Rock Village, the Third Kazekage and Ohnoki are old rivals.
He knew Ohnoki very well and knew what Ohnoki was waiting for.
"If it was a few years ago, Ohnoki would definitely not act rashly, but Konoha is too weak now."
It has only been three years since the end of the Second Ninja World War, and the Sand Village has not recovered, and the same is true for Konoha.
It's just that Konoha's situation is better than that of the Sand Village. Even if it is better, how much better can it be?
Now it is fighting hard with the Mist Village, and it suffered a defeat a few days ago.
Now that the Sand Village has declared war, Konoha is busy on both sides, and its weak points will be exposed.
This has a fatal attraction for the Rock Village.
Not every village has a huge trade route like the Cloud Village, and has a lot of money. The Sand Village is poor, and the Rock Village is not much better.
On one side is the vast desert, and on the other side is bare rocks. Both countries don't have much fertile land.
If he can cut a piece of meat from the Fire Country, Ohnoki will definitely not be soft-hearted.
"Then we continue to contact the Rock Village?" Luo Sha asked.
The Third Kazekage smiled faintly:
"No need, there needs to be a bottom line for everything. As long as Ohnoki is tempted, he will end. If he doesn't have such a mind, Ohnoki will not pay attention to us no matter how hard we try."
"Don't forget, in addition to the Sand Village, there is also an invitation from the Mist Village."
Why didn't the Mist Village attack while Konoha was in disarray?
Isn't it just to draw other villages in and jointly attack Konoha?
The Sand Village compromised with the Daimyo Mansion, and the Third Kazekage didn't care, because he believed that Konoha would lose!
As long as Ohnoki couldn't help it, Konoha would lose.
During the Second Ninja World War, the Rock Village held back, just messing around on the battlefield of the Rain Country for a while, and then stopped interfering and focused on the Cloud Village.
And this time, the Rock Village will end.
The confidence of the Third Kazekage comes from Ohnoki's age.
Ohnoki is old and may step down at any time to make way for the younger generation.
At his age, he must be thinking about accumulating more property for the younger generation. Declaring war on Konoha and dividing the rich land of the Land of Fire is the best choice.
Why can I understand every word the teacher says, but when they are put together, it is a bit confusing?
Is this the thought of the superior?
Luo Sha thought silently.
In the dead of night, the lights in the Tsuchikage office are still bright, and the old Ohnoki is still insisting.
"Father, you should rest."
Huang Tu sighed. For the sake of the village, Ohnoki has been working overtime for many days, which makes his son feel a little bit sorry.
"Yeah."
After responding absent-mindedly, Ohnoki suddenly asked:
"What do you think of the invitations from the Mist Village and the Sand Village?"
The Mist Village sent an invitation a long time ago, and Ohnoki ignored the Third Generation Mizukage.
But at this time, the invitation from the Third Generation Kazekage also came.
Compared to the Mist Village, the Sand Village's declaration of war on Konoha made Oonoki take it seriously.
