Chapter 122 The Land of Fire, a Big Piece of Fat Everyone Wants a Bit of
The Third Shinobi World War quickly entered an accelerated phase.
The two potential Fourth Kage from Konoha and Kumogakure clashed for the first time, a battle that showed Kumogakure the power of the Yellow Flash.
Minato proved the value of the statement that encountering a yellow flash during a mission means you can abandon the mission and run away.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield in the Land of Wind, the Third Raikage faced increasing hardship on the front lines after his plan to travel through the Land of Fire to support the Land of Wind failed. In the end, he had to admit that his plan to attack the Land of Wind was indeed somewhat overly simplistic.
In the end, he withdrew from the Land of Wind with his remaining subordinates, abandoning his invasion plan.
The invasion of Kumogakure was successfully repelled, which allowed Rasa to accumulate great prestige. He was able to rightfully remove the word "Acting" before "Acting Kazekage" and officially become the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure.
The Third Raikage was also a ruthless man. He had just suffered a defeat in the Land of Wind and retreated, and then immediately gathered his forces to launch an attack on the Land of Earth.
At the same time, in retaliation for Konoha's refusal to grant passage, which caused him to be unable to obtain supplies on the battlefield in the Land of Wind, he had to abandon his invasion. The Third Raikage directly sent his son, Killer Bee, to formally attack the Land of Fire and start a war against Konoha.
Dual-threaded combat, that's incredibly awesome.
At the Chiba branch of the Grass Country Merchant Guild, Tetsuya looked at the latest battle reports sent back from all over the ninja world and couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
"It's really lively here. This Hidden Cloud Village is really awesome. It's like a wild dog that's taken rabies drugs. It'll bite anyone it catches."
Tetsuya couldn't help but exclaim in amazement at the Cloud Village's crazy actions.
As he continued reviewing the intelligence, he came across yet another report about the new generation AB duo from Kumogakure battling Minato Namikaze.
"No way, man, not again. How many times has this happened? You guys have never won even when it's two against one, at most it's a draw. How do you dare to keep challenging Minato?"
Since the battle between Kumogakure and Konoha began, the clash between Minato Namikaze and the A/B duo has become a regular feature of this battlefield.
However, the two sides have clashed many times, and Minato has usually won, or the two sides have drawn and withdrawn to wait for another battle.
I flipped through the pages and sure enough, it was a tie again.
"Boss, boss, breaking news!"
The office door was suddenly pushed open, and Kakuzu excitedly shouted out the new information.
"What news is making you so excited? Is it the AB duo versus Minato? I saw it, they tied again."
"No, no, the information you have is outdated. It was collected and compiled by the Chamber of Commerce a few days ago and then passed on to us."
Kakuzu took out a scroll and placed it on the table.
"I have some new information from a black market intelligence dealer: the Third Raikage of Kumogakure is dead!"
"The Third Raikage is dead! When did he die?!"
"Just yesterday."
Kakuzu said with some emotion.
"This Third Raikage was also a ruthless man. He fought against 10,000 Iwa ninja, but ultimately could not withstand the overwhelming number of his opponents and died from exhaustion."
He wasn't killed, he died from exhaustion. What a monster!
Tetsuya opened the scroll and began to read the information.
He also knew some of the information from intelligence sources. After all, he had often seen people mentioning the title of the Third Raikage, who fought against 10,000 Iwa ninja to become the strongest D-rank ninja, before he transmigrated.
But seeing the detailed account of events in the scroll, one can't help but be amazed.
"Fighting against ten thousand Iwa ninja? Good heavens, does Iwagakure actually have that many ninja?"
"No, boss, why are you focusing on this?"
Tetsuya rolled up the scroll, waved his hand, and said.
"None of that matters. What matters is that the Third Raikage is dead. I'm afraid the war between Kumogakure and Konoha will soon be over. Kumogakure will probably retreat back to the Land of Lightning, elect the next Kage, and then recuperate while preventing Iwagakure from turning on them."
He paused for a moment before continuing.
"And the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, from Iwagakure, isn't stupid either. He knows that we just killed the Raikage from Kumogakure, and if we continue to retaliate against Kumogakure, we'll definitely face an even fiercer counterattack. In that case, Iwagakure will suffer a greater loss."
Upon hearing this, Kakuzu asked with some confusion.
"So, boss, do you mean the Third Shinobi World War is about to end?"
Tetsuya shook his head and smiled.
"No, the climax is coming."
"What do you mean?"
"Come to Kakuzu, take a look around here."
Tetsuya gestured for Kakuzu to look at the ninja world map hanging in his office.
What do you see on the map?
"I saw the ninja world."
"Very good, so what did you see at the center of the ninja world?"
Kakuzu shifted his gaze to the center of the map.
"It's the Land of Fire!"
"That's right, it's the Land of Fire."
Tetsuya stretched and said.
"The Land of Fire is a great place. Do you know why? It's great because it occupies the most fertile land in the ninja world. There are no vast deserts or steep mountains here. It's neither an isolated island nor a hilly area full of rocks."
Tell me, wouldn't a piece of land like this make people envious?
Kakuzu understood the meaning behind Tetsuya's words.
"Boss, do you mean there will be more ninja villages invading the Land of Fire next?"
"That's right, and not just one."
"More than one?"
Kakuzu frowned. The two villages in the Land of Wind and the Land of Lightning had just ended their war and were now in a period of rest and recuperation. It was unlikely that they would send troops to the Land of Fire.
Although Iwagakure in the Land of Earth has just ended its war with Kumogakure, the village has already entered war mode, and it is unlikely to stop anytime soon. After all, once the war machine is running, it will not stop so easily.
While it's possible that Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) might send troops to the Land of Fire, the boss says there are more than one ninja village that will invade the Land of Fire.
As for those small ninja villages, let's just leave them be. Unless they can completely destroy Konoha and swallow up Konoha's territory, the day will come when those small ninja villages are wiped out after the war ends.
Could Kirigakure be the last village to invade the Land of Fire? But isn't Kirigakure located at sea? They didn't participate in the last Shinobi World War, so will they suddenly intervene this time?
Seeing Kakuzu's puzzled look, Tetsuya patted him on the shoulder.
"Just you wait and see, Kakuzu. There are many people eyeing the Land of Fire, this piece of fat meat. Everyone is eager to take a bite."
The Land of Earth, Hidden Rock Village.
Because of the invasion by Kumogakure, Iwagakure was plunged into a state of war. It can be said that Iwagakure was highly united at this time, and the Tsuchikage's power was exceptionally centralized.
Onoki sat in the main seat and looked at the others from Iwagakure.
"Gentlemen, the war has begun, so let's make this drama even more exciting!"
