Chapter 38 Overall Planning
It was just the attack from Sand Village, and they didn't think there was anything.
Although Sarutobi hopes to live in peace, he will not be afraid even when he encounters war.
He was in his prime and still had great ambitions in his heart. It was not the old man who wanted to resolve the issue peacefully when the matter came to an end.
But.
The four major ninja villages failed to attack Saiyin, and not only did they not gain any benefits, but they suffered significant losses.
They will definitely not give up.
The Second Ninja War ended, and after resting, the number of ninjas in major ninja villages has increased, and now they are facing insufficient task entrustment.
Their big ninja village is fine and has a reputation, so most people are still willing to hand over the task to them.
But those small ninja villages have already commissioned more than a dozen wars to compete for the task.
Now, even Yun Yin and Yan Yin are joining.
This means that they are also beginning to face the pressure of mission commissioning or that they must use war to meet their needs.
The situation they faced will not only not improve but will worsen if they failed to start the war for the first time.
They will definitely not give up and will definitely turn the situation around through larger-scale wars.
When they find an excellent opportunity to attack Sai Yin and fail, they will never attack Sai Yin again.
Because the gain is not worth the loss.
And after rummaging over and over, Konoha is the best target of attack.
After all, as the number one ninja village in the ninja world.
Konoha contracted nearly half of the task commissions of the ninja world. He was able to do Konoha, but as long as he could win some local victory, he could gain a lot of benefits through negotiations.
In other words, Konoha is now facing the possibility of being attacked by five ninja villages at the same time.
Thinking of this possibility, Sarutobi frowned deeply.
He stood up, bit his pipe and paced back and forth at the desk, the smoke filled the room.
"Can you draw less?"
Sarutobi stopped and looked at Danzo who was waving his hand to slap the second-hand smoke. He shrugged helplessly, shook the leaves in his pipe and extinguished them.
"I don't know when, when you talk about things, you smoke and suck hard when you encounter important things. I'm really fed up." Danzo still complained.
He felt too much dissatisfaction with this old friend.
Although he is very competent in his position as Naruto, he thinks he can do better and be stronger.
After all, in the ninja world now, Konoha is the leader.
Excessive display of kindness will only make more rats stretch out their claws.
"I'll pay attention to it later."
Sarutobi was not dissatisfied with the old friend's complaints, but instead felt a little nostalgic.
Their relationship has been like this from going to the ninja school to becoming teammates. It was not until the two of them became the leaders of Naruto and Ne, and they gradually became distant because they were busy with their own affairs.
Danzo noticed the nostalgia on Sarutobi's face, and felt a little touched, but it didn't show it.
He said with a calm face as always: "Koha is now facing a major prehistoric crisis. If an improper operation is carried out, it may lead to the destruction of the village."
"You are right." Sarutobi nodded slightly, "For one-on-five, we have no chance of winning. Before the Sand Village has carried out an operation, we should send an envoy to comfort them, or even give appropriate benefits to extinguish their desire to attack, and then negotiate with Yun, Rock, Rain, and Grass to destroy their alliance from the inside."
"It's nothing wrong with doing this, but how much benefit does it have to be given to make Satsuki stop the desire to attack?" Danzo sneered: "If it was normal, it would be fine, but now we are facing a joint attack from four ninja villages. At that time, Satsuki saw an opportunity to take advantage of it, and would definitely not let it go easily."
Sarutobi took a deep breath and sighed: "I understand what you said, but this is the best way I can think of at the moment. When I am at a disadvantage, I can only divide the interests."
"That's because you haven't learned the situation in depth." Danzo walked to his desk and took out a map to spread it out. "First of all, it's the alliance of Yun, Iwa, Yu, and Kussi Ninja Village. They are just united because of their interests, and they are definitely not unbreakable."
“That’s why I said to undermine their alliance from within through negotiations.”
"So I said, your method is not wrong, but the order must be changed. You must first disintegrate the alliance, and then send an envoy to comfort Sanyin, or do it at the same time."
Sarutobi was stunned for a moment, then stared at the map, and could not see any reason for it for a long time.
"We have a covenant with Satsuki, so we can borrow this relationship to reach a settlement through the distribution of interests before the war begins. But the other four ninja villages..."
"Their relationship is not harmonious, either." Danzo said: "Yunxi Village has been increasing its military strength since the end of the Second Ninja World War. Just talking about military strength, I'm afraid they are the number one in the Ninja World."
The strength of a ninja village needs to be judged from the comprehensive aspects of population, economy, military, etc.
It is impossible to maintain long-term long-term if Yunyin Village ignores the village's economic burden and improves its military strength as much as possible.
The final result can only be self-destruction.
But Daming of the Kingdom of Thunder trusts Yunyin Village very much. Every year, there are large military funds that exceed the budget, which creates a deformed monster like Yunyin Village.
"Yunyin Village is different from our Konoha. They not only have strong military power, but also have a strong desire to attack, and are deeply afraid of the surrounding countries. Compared to our Konoha, Iron Yin, Yu Yin, and Cao Yin should be more afraid of Yunyin Village."
"It's true." Sarutobi pondered slightly, "If this happens, even if they reach an alliance, they will not trust each other, let alone they have failed once. Taking advantage of the fear of Yun Yin to do something, it is very likely that they will be able to complete the collapse of the coalition forces first."
"They are more afraid of the powerful Yunyin than the powerful Konoha. If Konoha loses in this war, no one can stop Yunyin Village." Danzo showed a confident expression on his face. "Once we fail in the early stage of the war, each of the coalition forces will have their own thoughts, and then send envoys to express their power, and maybe it will cause them to attack each other."
"This situation is too ideal. I will be satisfied as long as they can collapse their alliance."
"I'm just saying this possibility." Danzo glanced at him in anger.
This guy likes to disappoint.
But he was too lazy to care about such things.
After all, they are no longer as carefree as they were when they were childhood. Now they are one of the Naruto and the other are the leader of Anbuke.
It is crucial to perform their own duties and require mature and steady personality.
"I am familiar with Hanzo of Yuyin and know Onoki's character, so let me go on a mission to Iwaki and Yuyin!"
"Where is the Saiyin?"
"At the same time, I will send someone to talk, do what you said, and give me the benefit and comfort, but at the same time, I also need to show my force and not expose the situation that Konoha is now letting them control."
As for Cao Yin, neither of them mentioned it.
In this world of ninjas, weakness is sin.
