Naruto: Rise To The Top

a month later.

During this period no fighting occurred between Konoha Village, Suna and Iwa.

Iwa village was attacked by different groups of small ninja villages after the death of the jinchuriki, they thought that they could take down the Iwa village from the throne of one of the great villages and get its place, because they believed that the village of Iwa became weaker after losing the jinchuriki.

But this is a foolish act from the small ninja villages, because inside the village of Iwa there is a very strong person, Third Tsuchikage, who is considered one of the strongest ninjas of this era.

Onoki was very angry because of the death of the Jinchuriki and when his village was attacked he became even more angry, so he did not spare anyone who attacked Iwa village.

Every ninja who attacked Iwa village was killed directly and without any mercy or sympathy.

Nor did the village of Suna take any steps to attack any of the villages of Konohagakure and Iwa and remained static in its place, and Konoha did the same.

... ... ... ... ... ... ...

At the Konoha village camp.

Two ninjas were guarding the camp, one of them sighed, "Why doesn't the Hokage order us to go and fight against Iwa, Iwa is in a critical situation right now and this is our chance to take them down."

"Don't talk nonsense. The Hokage is worried about Suna Village, he's afraid she's planning something so he doesn't want to attack now." The other ninja scolded the ninja who was complaining.

The words of this ninja are absolutely true, the Hokage is worried about Suna village, he is afraid that when they attack Iwa village, the forces of Suna village will appear behind their forces and make a pincer attack as happened with Iwa forces before.

This ninja's words are absolutely true, the Hokage is worried about what Suna Village is up to. He fears that when they attack Iwa Village, the forces of Suna Village will appear behind their forces and attack them, making Konoha's forces in danger as they are trapped between Iwa and Suna. As happened with the Iwa forces previously.

Previously, the Hokage would not be afraid of something like this because Konoha's forces are divided into two parts, one against Suna and the other against Iwa, and he can stop Suna's forces if they try to attack.

But according to the reports that reached the Hokage during Konoha's fight against Iwa, in which the Third Kazekage intervened and killed the Jinchuuriki, Konoha's forces were attacking Suna's camp at the same time and it was assumed that all Suna's forces were in the camp. What puzzled the Hokage is where the Suna forces came from, who numbered a thousand ninjas led by the Kazekage.

But the strange thing is that the leaders in Suna Village don't know where these forces came from either, and they asked the Kazekage about it, but he didn't answer them.

There is also the village of Ame that has not entered the fight yet and there is a possibility that the forces of the village of Konoha will attack, so the Hokage will not do something reckless like attacking the village of Iwa at this time.

While the ninjas were talking, someone noticed an approaching ninja wearing a ninja jacket that proves he is from Suna Village. As soon as he saw it, they became cautious and one of them quickly went to the camp and told one of the sensing ninjas to check the area around them to check if Suna's forces would attack.

The sensing ninja did not detect anything surrounding the camp except the person approaching them, the ninja gathered ten others and headed towards the Suna Ninja who is approaching the camp, and when they reached it they surrounded him. "What is your goal in coming alone, do you want to die?"

"I am a messenger sent by the Kazekage to deliver a message to the camp leaders." The Suna ninja spoke calmly and was not afraid of being surrounded by the Konoha ninja.

One of the ten ninjas moved back to the camp and then went to the tents of Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Shikawa, and Ryuu and then told them what had happened.

"I'll go check it out." Ryuu said then quickly moved towards the direction that he sensed the presence of the Suna ninja.

Ryuu looked at the person in front of him and said in a threatening tone, "What message are you carrying. If I don't like the contents of the message, consider yourself dead."

"I'm here to tell you about the Kazekage's decision to form a truce and an alliance with Konoha. Two other messengers were also sent, one to Konoha village to inform the Hokage and the other to your other camp facing our forces."
