Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching.

Chapter 585: Ninja World's Response
The land of thunder.

Raikage Building, conference room.

The Third Raikage sat in the first seat with a solemn look of deep thought on his serious face.

The high-ranking members of the Kumogakure high-ranking officials sitting on the left and right sides all had frowns on their faces as if they were thinking.

"Tully, what do you think about the recent defeat of Iwagakure in the Land of Grass?" The Third Raikage looked at a bespectacled Kumogakure ninja.

Tully is the assistant Raikage of their Hidden Cloud Village, the deputy of the Third Raikage, and one of the people he trusts the most.

"My thoughts..." Tully raised his glasses.

"According to the intelligence we have collected, Iwagakure actually won a big victory before its great defeat, and at one point, it beat the troops led by Jiraiya and forced them to flee everywhere."

"From this piece of information, we can get two pieces of information. Iwagakure is not as weak as it appeared before, and Konoha's actual strength is not as strong as before."

"If Iwagakure is weak, it will definitely not be able to defeat the ninja army led by Jiraiya in a short period of time. If Konoha is strong enough, it will naturally not be a crushing defeat followed by a great victory."

The Third Raikage and other high-ranking members of Kumogakure nodded in agreement.

"Although both sides have won and lost, it is obvious that Iwagakure suffered a greater loss this time. The ninja troops suffered heavy losses and directly withdrew from the Land of Grass." Tully said with some regret.

The war between Konoha and Iwagakure came suddenly and ended just as suddenly.

If Kumogakure could get the information in advance, it would be a good opportunity for them to cause trouble. If handled properly, they could inflict heavy losses on both Konoha and Iwagakure.

"So you think now is a good opportunity to attack the Hidden Rock Village?" The Third Raikage thought for a moment and asked.

The Hidden Cloud Village is not picky now, as long as they are at the level of the five major ninja villages, they will take action if they have the chance.

Tully shook his head. "Now is indeed an opportunity to send troops to Iwagakure, but it is even more of a good opportunity to send troops to Konoha."

The Third Raikage looked at Tully with some confusion. Wasn't it said that the losses of the Hidden Rock Village would be even greater?

"Although Iwagakure suffered losses, they were not serious. The two Jinchuriki were safely withdrawn to the Land of Earth. Moreover, the Iwagakure Village is located deep in the mountains and is easy to defend but difficult to attack." Tully explained.

If Kumogakure wants to attack Iwagakure, it will be very troublesome just to travel, which is not as simple as attacking the Fire Nation.

"If that's the case, shouldn't both have their own advantages and disadvantages? Why is it better to attack Konoha?" Tsuchida asked.

He did not start from his own ideas, but only thought about what Tully said, and did not find the so-called good opportunity.

"Because if we don't attack Konoha now, we may not have this opportunity in the future." Tully's expression became serious.

"Konoha first thwarted Kirigakure's attack, and now it has defeated Iwagakure. In the eyes of those clients, Konoha is still the strongest ninja village. Once the situation stabilizes, Konoha's commissions will surely increase greatly."

"With stronger financial resources, Konoha will be able to develop more ninjas. Coupled with the talented ninjas that emerged during the Konoha War, if they continue to develop simultaneously, how could Kumogakure be a rival to Konoha?"

Dodai looked at Tully with surprise. What a bold statement! He said so bluntly that the development potential of Kumogakure was not as good as that of Konoha.

Although it is true, some things cannot be spoken casually even if they exist.

Dodai glanced at the Third Raikage.

The Third Raikage's expression did not change much from before.

"The frequent wars now have consumed the strength of Konoha's ninjas and also caused Konoha to forge hatred with other ninja villages. As long as we take action, the other ninja villages will most likely follow suit and attack Konoha. It is impossible for them not to see the threat of Konoha." Tully continued.

This is the real reason why Tully thinks now is a good time to attack Konoha.

Since the war broke out in Kumogakure, there have been three large ninja villages fighting against it, but Konohagakure and Iwagakure only launched tentative attacks, and only Sunagakure really started a fight.

But if the Cloud Village wants to attack Konoha, it will be difficult for the Sand Village to interfere, whether it is the Land of Hot Springs or the Land of Grass.

As for Konoha, they really treated Kirigakure and Iwagakure very harshly. Not only did Kirigakure lose a lot of ninjas, but also a jinchūriki, while Iwagakure almost lost a large army of thousands of people.

If Konoha reveals a flaw, Tully doesn't believe that Iwagakure and Kirigakure won't seek revenge.

If Konoha is successfully defeated, what will be gained is not only the sense of revenge, but also fame and wealth.

"That's true under ideal circumstances, but Konoha is still strong. If Kumogakure goes to war with Konoha with all its might, we can't guarantee that other large ninja villages won't target Kumogakure," Tsuchida reminded.

Hatred is indeed a significant driving force, but it pales in comparison to interests.

The Hidden Cloud Village's all-out attack on Konoha is essentially a game in which they commit themselves, and there are great risks involved.

"So we can't launch a large-scale attack on Konoha right from the start. We should first show our momentum and give people the feeling that we are going to attack Konoha with all our strength, and then observe the reactions of other ninja villages before making plans." Tully explained.

Yunyin is reckless, but not mindless.

They still don't know the details of Iwagakure's defeat, they only know that the number of enemies killed by Konoha in this battle is exaggerated.

"In the youth martial arts tournament held by the Ninja Clan, we from Kumogakure didn't send many ninjas to participate, but Iwagakure and Kirigakure both sent many elites. But the result was..."

Seeing that the top leaders of Kumogakure were still thinking, Tully further promoted his Konoha threat theory, as if if Konoha was ignored, it would return to its invincible state in the early days of the village in a few years.

"You can also tell us what you think." After waiting for Tully to finish speaking, the Third Raikage glanced at the other high-ranking members of Kumogakure and spoke.

"I think what Assistant Tully said makes sense. We should attack Konoha. Attacking Iwagakure is troublesome, and the benefits we can get from attacking Konoha are not as great." A dark-skinned burly man said with his arms folded across his chest, agreeing.

"I think something is not right. We can wait a little longer and continue to observe the situation to see what actions Kirigakure will take." A white-bearded Kumogakure elder shook his head in denial.

After all the top leaders of Kumogakure had finished speaking, the Third Raikage discovered that the score was exactly two to two.

Two senior executives agreed to attack Konoha, while the other two disagreed.

Of course, the other two senior officials just thought it was not a good idea to attack Konoha now, not that they disagreed with the war.

"I think what Tully said makes sense. Please tell me your plan in more detail." The Third Raikage finally said after thinking for a while.

Obviously, he chose to go to war against Konoha.

This plan is indeed risky, but the Third Raikage thinks it is worth a try.

……

On the other side, a high-level meeting was also being held in the Kirigakure Village, which was being cared for by the Kumogakure high-level officials.

Since being driven out of the Land of Fire by Konoha last time, Kirigakure has been shrinking its strength but has been keeping a close eye on the situation in the ninja world.

They are waiting for an opportunity, a chance to become famous.

Every high-ranking member of Kirigakure was very unwilling to accept this. It was a rare opportunity for them to participate in the Ninja World War, but they were beaten up by Konoha in the end.

"This Hanyu Muyue is indeed not a simple person. No wonder Yagura lost in the first place. In addition to Orochimaru, Konoha has also prepared a trump card hidden in the dark for us." The Third Mizukage said with narrowed eyes.

"It's really unexpected." The master nodded, realizing that the Third Mizukage had to have Karatachi Yagura succeed him.

More than a year has passed since Yagura Karuta was defeated, and the Third Mizukage still helps Yagura Karuta wash his mouth, which is enough to show how much the Third Mizukage values ​​him.

The other Kirigakure high-ranking officials echoed this.

"Although Iwagakure was defeated this time, Konoha also suffered some losses. I think we can send an assassination team to intensify the conflict between Iwagakure and Konoha. If Iwagakure can launch an all-out war with Konoha, it will be a good opportunity for us to take action." The squad leader of the Kirigakure Jounin Squad expressed his thoughts.

Family members know their own business. Kirigakure will definitely not be able to defeat Konoha on its own.

They had no intention of fighting Konoha head-on, but they not only had the idea of ​​stimulating other ninja villages to go to war with Konoha, but the idea was also very strong.

"So many people have died in Iwagakure, they must be very hostile to Konoha now."

"But now the Iwagakure troops have retreated. During this period, whether it is disguising as an Iwagakure ninja to kill a Konoha ninja, or disguising as a Konoha ninja to kill an Iwagakure ninja, it will easily arouse suspicion." A Kirigakure consultant raised the difficulty.

"Then wait. Unless Iwagakure and Konoha sign a peace treaty, war will break out sooner or later." The leader of the Kirigakure Jonin squad replied.

"In fact, it's not just Iwagakure. We can also start with other ninja villages. There are more than one big ninja village fighting with Konoha."

"Taketo's idea is very good. We in Kirigakure must take action." The Third Mizukage singled out Taketo Taota for praise.

Although he would not necessarily adopt Taketo Tonota's plan, Kirigakure really could not bear to watch it any longer.

If we continue to watch, if Konoha defeats Iwagakure and then Kumogakure and becomes the final winner, then Kirigakure will really have no hope of revenge.

You don't know until you fight. After the fight, the Third Mizukage discovered that their Kirigakure was the weakest among the five major ninja villages.

Now that you know you are lagging behind, the next thing you need to do is to catch up.

Even if he doesn't make any progress, he has to pull Konoha back and not let Konoha continue to become stronger.

After the meeting, Master Yuan returned home.

When instructing Mei Terumi and Zabuza, the Master reminded:
"You must hurry up and practice. It is only a matter of time before we, Kirigakure, join the war again. The next war may be even more intense than the last one."

Mei Terumi was stunned for a moment. According to the master, the top leaders had already decided to go to war with a certain ninja village, but they had not determined the specific time.

"Is it still Konoha?" Terumi asked thoughtfully, but ultimately did not speak.

This is a high-level secret, and she, an ordinary Mist Village jonin, is not qualified to know such things.

However, Mei Terumi was very worried because she felt that it would be really difficult for Kirigakure to win if they took Konoha as their opponent.

It's not that Mei Terumi boosts others' morale and destroys her own prestige, but that she has a very clear self-awareness through the Chunin Exam and the Martial Arts Tournament.

The top genius of their Hidden Mist Village would only be a slightly outstanding genius if they were placed in Konoha, and could not be compared with the likes of Might Guy, Hatake, and Kakashi.

……

The Country of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.

"Ohnoki, you old man, you deserve this day."

Looking at the intelligence about the defeat of the Iwagakure Village, Luo Sha couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The Iwagakure Village and the Sand Village are old rivals. There are three small countries bordering the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, which are directly connected into a long line.

If it weren't for the special geographical environment on both sides, it would be a real headache for both sides.

Luo Sha did not forget that the Kumogakure ninja troops were ready to make a move near the Sand Village and Shigure Country and the Iwagakure ninja troops were ready to make a move.

If Sand Village had not withstood the offensive of Kumogakure, the chaotic battle among the three major ninja villages would not have taken place in the Land of Rain, but in the Land of Wind, in the Sand Village.

"Should we take advantage of this opportunity to send out troops?" Luo Sha looked thoughtful.

If they could inflict a crushing defeat on Iwagakure, then Sand Village would not only be able to get their revenge, but could also re-establish their reputation as one of the five major ninja villages.

Luo Sha recalled the situation in the Sand Village and finally shook his head.

Even if he wanted to fight, the other Sand Village leaders would never agree.

Because the current state of Sand Village is extremely bad, it is the weakest period since the establishment of Sand Village.

The disappearance of the Third Kazekage meant more to Sand Village than just the loss of a top-level strongman.

After the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, Sand Village fell into serious civil strife.

In order to compete for the position of Kazekage, powerful ninja clans and Sunagakure high-ranking officials used all kinds of means.

When it developed to its peak, assassination was nothing, and the leaders of various factions openly led large groups of ninjas to fight.

In a sense, Luo Sha has to thank Yunyin.

Because without the external pressure from Kumogakure, Rasa would not have been able to become the Fourth Kazekage so quickly.

Compared with the high-ranking officials and powerful ninja clans who have been operating in Sand Village for many years, Rasa's only advantage is his status as a disciple of the Third Kazekage.

He is the disciple who inherited the magnetic escape technique of the third Kazekage and is the most orthodox successor to the Kazekage.

No matter whether it is the Sunagakure high-level officials or the ninja clan, everything they have is in Sunagakure. Without Sunagakure, everything they have will disappear.

Under the life-and-death pressure brought by the Hidden Cloud Village, the ninja clan and their high-level officials had to compromise and let the most orthodox Rasa serve as the Kazekage and integrate the power of the Hidden Sand Village to deal with the crisis.

So Luo Sha is annoyed by people like Ye Cang who have the potential to become Kazekage.

He was very worried that one day, after the war was over, those compromised high-ranking officials would work together with the ninja clan to drive him out of office and support other ninjas to become Kazekage.

After all, the circumstances of his ascension to power were so special that they were probably unique in the entire ninja world.

"It would be great if Iwagakure could fight Konoha and both sides would suffer heavy losses." Rasa couldn't help but fantasize.

It is true that Sand Village is ruined, but if other big ninja villages are also ruined, then the Sand Village is equivalent to not being ruined.

Rasa longed for a victory, a victory in a war against a ninja village of the same level.

This way, it would be impossible for other senior officials to remove him from the position of Kazekage.

PS:
Yesterday, my college classmate came to see Xiaoju, and he had a midnight snack with her. He fell asleep at around four o'clock.

I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t stayed up late for a while, but I felt inexplicably sleepy while writing today. If you have any questions, you can leave a message at the end of the chapter.

I wanted to take a leave, but I have persisted for so many days, so I still want to hold on until the end of the month.
