The Invisible Assassin of Konoha

Chapter 103 Three generations without omission

After listening to Jiraiya's narration, Rikimaru knew the true purpose of the Third Hokage.

No matter in the previous life or in this life, in Rikimaru's impression, the Third Hokage belonged to the kind of steady and conservative leader, and it is rare to see him have radical behavior, but this time, what the Third Hokage did, changed his opinion.

The previous three generations of Hokage gave him so many letterheads, but they were actually doing two-handed preparations, and they were targeting Sand Yin and Yan Yin.

The ultimate goal of disclosing the fact that Shayin Village suffered heavy losses during the siege of Roshan was to tell Yanyin Village.

Of the five major ninja villages, Konoha is in the middle, and the other four ninja villages, Shayin Village and Yanyin Village have the closest spheres of influence, so now that there is a problem in Sandyin Village, it is definitely a problem for the nearest neighboring Muye Village and Yanyin Village. most favorable.

It is basically impossible for other Yunyin Village and Wuyin Village to travel such a long distance to attack the Kingdom of Wind.

The Third Hokage had no intention of attacking, so he announced the news and handed over the choice to Tukage of Yanyin Village.

It seems that the right to choose is handed over to others, but in fact, for the third generation of Hokage, this is already a relatively radical decision. He is obviously unwilling to go to war first, because Konoha Village has a vast land and abundant supplies, and it is stressful to support so many ninjas. Much smaller than other ninja villages.

And for Konoha, an excuse is needed to start a war. Without a good excuse to start a war, those dignitaries in the Land of Fire will not support it. Therefore, even though the Third Hokage knows that the war is inevitable, he is still unwilling to make the first move.

The Three Generations of Hokage knew very well that they were more anxious than the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Thunder. The Land of Thunder is full of militants and advocates strength; while the system of Yanyin Village has always won by numbers, so their ninja The number is the largest among the five great ninja villages.

The number of ninjas is the largest, but they are not as good as Konoha in other aspects, so they are more eager to use war to seize resources or consume the pressure inside the village.

As soon as the news of the heavy losses in Shayin Village was announced, Shayin was naturally the most nervous, while Konoha sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, watching how Yanyin Village chose, and then prescribing the right medicine.

"The old man's wishful thinking is well done. If Yanyin Village increases its troops to confront us, then let us unite with Shayin. If Yanyin Village turns to deal with Shayin, then we will sit on the sidelines and reap the benefits of the fisherman. .” Zilai also said with a smile.

Riki frowned and asked, "But what if Yanyin Village is the first to unite with Shayin Village to attack us together?"

Ji Lai also said with a smile: "Of course a shrewd man like the old man has figured this out, so he gave us a special order to keep an eye on the movements of these two villages, and if they really plan to unite, we will destroy it. "

Rikimaru shook his head: "If this really happens, Tsuchikage and Kazekage are not fools, they are secretly united, and we have no way to destroy it."

"There is no way to destroy it secretly, but we can also take action."

"What do you mean?"

Ji Lai also shook the letter in his hand: "What do you think the old man sent so many letters for? He has thought of many possibilities long ago and made preparations in advance."

Pick up one of them: "This is a personal letter from Lianhe Shayin."

He picked up another letter: "This is a handwritten letter from Lianyanyin Village."

"This is a letter in response to the alliance between Yanyin Village and Sandyin Village. This is..."

Rikimaru was dumbfounded. At this moment, he really admired the third generation of Hokage. Dr. Ninja really did not cover it. This has not started yet, and he has already prepared retreats and strategies in advance, and there are various countermeasures.

Sure enough, people who can become a shadow are all good at calculating. If it were him, he would definitely not be able to achieve the level of the third generation of Hokage. This damn has always been thinking like this. If you are less than thirty, you will be bald, right?
"Master Hokage asked me to listen to you, what should we do now?"

Jilai also thought about it for a while: "Don't worry, I'll send someone to investigate Yanyin's situation. If they make any moves, there will definitely be some movement. We'll talk about it later."

Jilai has also been on this border for a long time. Although he has not fought against Yanyin on a large scale, secretly, the intelligence personnel of both sides have had contact. It is difficult to hide the large-scale troop movement from each other.

"it is good."

This waited for several days, and after collecting the information, Jiraiya immediately called Rikimaru, and the two began to discuss.

Because the Three Hokages have explained this time, all matters are up to Jiraiya and he is not allowed to reveal anything, so Jiraiya can only discuss with Rikimaru.

"It has been investigated, but the result is very strange." Ji Lai also looked puzzled.

Riki asked in bewilderment, "Why is it so strange?"

"According to our investigation, it has been such a long time, and Yanyin Village has not moved at all. Not only has it not increased troops on the border, nor has it stationed in the Kingdom of Wind, as if nothing happened."

"But this is so strange. The old guy in Yanyin Village is no worse than the old man, and he is very ambitious. Before this happened, he was ready to fight with us Konoha. Now that something happened in Shayin Village, he has remained silent. , don't you find it strange?"

Although Jiraiya is far behind Sandai Hokage and Sandai Tukage, he is also a person who has led the army alone for many years, and he still has this analytical ability.

"I think it's weird, but I don't think it's weird either."

Rikimaru's answer was beyond Jiraiya's expectation, he asked suspiciously: "What do you mean by that?"

Richimaru explained: "I don't really understand those crooked calculations, I just put myself into the identity of Tuokage. If I were Tuokage, I would stand still on the surface, and secretly join Sand Yin; and if I were Feng Shadow, I will definitely agree to join forces with Yan Yin."

Ji Lai also frowned: "You mean, the old man is doing too much, and it is impossible for the situation he thinks to happen?"

Rikimaru shook his head and said: "No, I'm thinking from the perspective of Iwagakushi and Sandgakure, and Hokage-sama is thinking from the perspective of our village. I think Hokage-sama must also know this result, he just wants to try it. Let's see if there is any possibility of an accident."

A shrewd person like Sandai Hokage, even things he can think of, he doesn't think the other party can't think of them, but Sandai wants to maximize the benefits, so he calculates so much, and he just simply expresses his thoughts, not Think too much.

"Then why couldn't it be Sahiro who showed affection to us Konoha and united with us?" Jiraiya asked again.

Riki shrugged: "This possibility is extremely low. The current situation in Hidden Sand Village does not dare to unite with our Konoha, because they are afraid that we will swallow them, and our Konoha does have this strength;
But Hidden Rock Village is different. Between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, do you think they will choose the Land of Wind, which has a harsh environment, or the Land of Fire, which has a vast land and rich resources? "

In fact, this is a relatively simple truth. If Shayin Village takes the initiative to cooperate with Konoha, it will fall into a disadvantage and will be controlled by Konoha.

But if they agree to Yanyin’s cooperation, they will be on an equal footing. The senior officials of Sandai Kazekage and Shayin Village have always coveted the Fire Country. As long as they have the opportunity, they will definitely choose Yanyin Village instead of Muye Village .

"Stinky boy, you've made progress."

Jiraiya stared at Riki in amazement. You must know that Riki is only less than 13 years old, so he can analyze the conflicts of interests between countries from his own point of view.

You must know that when he was at Riki's age, he was just a Chunin who obeyed orders and completed tasks. He also grew up during the Second Ninja World War.

And Rikimaru, a person who has never experienced war, can have this insight, which is indeed far beyond the average boy.
