When Sunagakure fell into the most crisis due to Kirigakure's sneak attack, this incident was quickly reported back.
Shinichi was not transferred away, but was still left on the Sunagakure battlefield.
In fact, Shinichi also knows that after something like this happened, he will definitely not be transferred from the Sunagakure battlefield in the next period of time, because...
Sunagakure is already very weak!
......
Leaf Village.
Danzo and the Third Hokage met again. Generally speaking, in such a war, only the more important things would be met and discussed by these two people. Most of the time, the two of them were busy doing their own thing, and the Third Hokage was busy. In order to allocate manpower, Danzo was busy using his roots to attack his opponents in secret.
During this meeting, the thing they wanted to discuss was naturally Kirigakure's sneak attack on Sunagakure.
"Eat Sunagakure!"
Danzo spoke without mercy.
Now Sunagakure has been beaten very weak by Kirigakure. Even if Konoha can't mobilize much power, he can still pounce on Sunagakure and bite off a piece of meat. By then, he doesn't know how much he can plunder from Sunagakure. Money, ninjutsu, and some secrets.
All in all, the benefits of wiping out a ninja village from a great nation are too great that no one is willing to ignore.
Even if you get nothing, you can still use this matter to make the Kingdom of Wind bow to Konoha and continue to pay tribute in the next few years.
Third Hokage opened the mouth and said.
"Doing this will completely piss off Kirigakure."
Sunagakure was completely defeated by Kirigakure in a sneak attack. It was only because Kirigakure also suffered a lot of losses in a surprise battle that he retreated, recuperated for a while, and then came back to enjoy the trophy "Sunagakure" he had captured.
To put it simply, although Kirigakure made Sunagakure very weak, he also paid a heavy price. He was unable to launch a second attack in a short time to completely destroy Sunagakure.
If Konoha attacks Sunagakure at this time, it will completely take away the trophies he has already handled from Kirigakure's hands, making Kirigakure a complete tool. This will definitely completely annoy Kirigakure. Under normal circumstances, Konoha is naturally not afraid of upsetting Kirigakure, but now Konoha is at war with Iwagakure and Kumogakure. If another Kirigakure is added to the mix, Konoha has the possibility of overturning, not to mention, Once Konoha takes action, not only will Kirigakure be completely annoyed, but he will also have a deadly feud with Sunagakure.
It can be said that once Konoha attacks Sunagakure, the next situation may be that the four major ninja villages join forces to attack Konoha. No matter how strong Konoha is, it is impossible to withstand the attack of the four major ninja villages at the same time. .
Thinking of this, both the Third Hokage and Danzo fell silent.
Sitting in this position, it is no longer possible to be a completely good person. Although the Third Hokage is soft-hearted, he is only soft-hearted towards himself, not necessarily towards others. To be honest, for the big cake of Sunagakure, Both Danzo and the Third Hokage wanted to shamelessly rush up and take a bite, but the problem was, after careful consideration, they discovered that this cake might be poisonous!There is a risk of death if eaten!
Then, this cake should not be eaten.
On the premise of not eating, Konoha has three choices. The first is to sit back and let Kirigakure eat Sunagakure. The second is to help Sunagakure resist Kirigakure and win Sunagakure's favor. The third is to help Sunagakure resist Kirigakure and win Sunagakure's favor. The first is that, on the surface, he doesn't take any action, but secretly sends people over to share some of the cakes that Kirigakure knocked down.
Among these three options, there is no option to help Kirigakure deal with Sunagakure, because do they need help now?
It's like, you naturally want someone to help you when you work, but when you pay your salary, don't you also want someone to help you share part of it?
Kirigakure has long passed the time of needing help. He can now slowly eat the cake of Sunagakure. He will not allow anyone to share the cake unless he has to.
Therefore, among Sunagakure and Kirigakure, only Sunagakure needs help, Kirigakure does not.
Of course, Konoha can also use "non-interference" as an excuse to force Kirigakure and Konoha to sign a treaty of non-enemy in the war, thereby reducing one possible enemy.
Kirigakure would most likely agree to this, and he certainly didn't want Konoha to compete with him for Sunagakure's cake. But the problem was that this was in a war, so what if a treaty was signed with Kirigakure?Even if they attack you Konoha afterwards, what can you do?
This is a treaty with no binding force at all. It would be better not to sign it than to sign it!
This is not a time of peace. In a time of peace, because no one is willing to go to war, treaties do have a certain effect. But this is a time of war. When you are fighting to the death, you can expect the other side to spare you because of a piece of paper. It would be ridiculous to pass you by.
Therefore, the above three options are relatively reliable options.
Danzo narrowed his eyes.
"You can't sit idly by!"
He immediately ruled out the first option. Konoha had to do something no matter what during this change.
Third Hokage opened the mouth and said.
"Then help Sunagakure."
Helping Sunagakure at this time will indeed win Sunagakure's great favor. At least, in this war, Sunagakure will no longer be the enemy of Konoha.
This is not to say that Sunagakure will never attack Konoha if he has a good impression of Konoha, but because once Sunagakure is revived by Konoha, what will he do?
There is no doubt that I will definitely beat Kirigakure!
There was absolutely no reason for Sunagakure to leave Kirigakure, who almost killed him, to fight Konoha, who saved his life.
Therefore, once Konoha rescues Sunagakure, it will be impossible for Sunagakure to be the enemy of Konoha in this war. He will be busy taking revenge on Kirigakure.
Even because of Sunagakure's actions, Kirigakure couldn't trouble Konoha in the next war. He had to be busy dealing with Sunagakure.
It can be said that once this option is successful, Konoha will have two fewer potential enemies, leaving only Iwagakure and Kumogakure. The situation will be completely stable. Although it will not lead to immediate victory, it is certain that Konoha will at least not Will lose.
But the difficulty with this option is that Konoha can't exert much power on Sunagakure now. How can it use these powers to help Sunagakure resist Kirigakure?
Danzo tried to speak.
"How about sending someone to secretly share Sunagakure's food with Kirigakure?"
The Third Hokage immediately shook his head.
"No, this is just an act for small gain. Once Sunagakure is gone, Kirigakure may turn around and deal with us. Of course, it may also continue to go back to deal with Kumogakure. Both situations are possible, but I still I don’t want to gamble, it’s obviously safer to help Sunagakure. As long as it succeeds, neither Sunagakure nor Kirigakure will be able to interfere with our Konoha war in the next war.”
Danzo frowned.
"Is it powerful enough? There are only ten elite Jonin who can watch over the Sunagakure battlefield."
This is the most important problem. It's okay to help Sunagakure, but can the power that Konoha can draw out really be able to resist the entire Sunagakure?
The Third Hokage also fell silent.
After a long time, the Third Hokage laughed helplessly.
"I still want to try. Maybe, we can look forward to that kid."
Danzo said nothing, stood up, and left.
He neither opposed nor agreed with the Third Generation, because there was really no best choice in this matter. As long as the Third Generation did not sit idly by, Danzo would not oppose the Third Generation.
......
a few days later.
"What? Me?"
Shinichi pointed at himself and spoke in surprise.
Watergate nodded.
"Well, there are instructions from Lord Hokage. We need to personally deliver the envelope written by Lord Hokage to the hands of the Third Kazekage. Then, after the Third Kazekage agrees, we will start to assist Sunagakure. This time, I I plan to take you to deliver letters."
Shinichi thought about it and felt that he had no reason to object, so he agreed.
"it is good."
The matter was urgent, and it was obviously impossible to give Shinichi a day's rest. Shinichi just went out and told Obito and Tenma Jun that he would be out for a while, and then immediately set off with Minato.
Crossing the forest, they came to the "plain" that had been flattened by the Tailed Beast Tama and Black Hollow Flash. After crossing this "plain", Minato and Shinichi entered the vast desert.
When they came to the desert, Shinichi didn't know the way at all. Fortunately, Minato seemed to have been to Sand Hidden Village, and he was familiar with the roads and led Shinichi around in the desert.
After ten minutes.
Sweat kept flowing down Shinichi's forehead. Shinichi tore off his clothes and covered his head to block the direct sunlight.
This was the first time for him to stay in the desert for such a long time, and it was really overwhelming.
In comparison, Minato was much better. Although he was sweating constantly, his expression was obviously much more relaxed than Shinichi's.
The only good thing is that they are ninjas. If they go all out, it won't take long to reach Sunagakure Village, if nothing happens.
Well, if nothing unexpected happens!
Huge chakra rose up, and the monster that covered the sky rose from under the desert, and the shadow covered this large land!
In the desert, a huge and terrifying monster suddenly appeared!
"Little one, what are you doing here? Are you looking for me? I sensed your breath and ran to find you."
Golden eyes, fat body, terrifying chakra, this is Shukaku!
"Ichibi?!"
Minato quickly took a step back, guarding Shinichi, and a trident-style kunai appeared in his hand unknowingly.
At this moment, Shukaku seemed to notice Minato's presence.
"Konoha forehead protector? Is this a Konoha ninja? Who is it? I don't know him. He looks very young."
Although Minato's current reputation is not that powerful in the ninja world, it is indeed not small. Shukaku doesn't know it, but it's just because it has been sealed before, and Minato is still young. Shukaku had never seen Minato before the seal.
Seeing this, Shinichi hurriedly spoke.
"I'm not here to find you. We are going to find the Third Kazekage."
Shukaku rolled his eyes.
"The Third Kazekage? That guy should be dying now. Are you going to save him?"
Minato spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
"There's no need to tell you, Ichibi."
Even when facing the tailed beast, Minato didn't show any uneasiness.
Shukaku spoke coldly.
"It took a lot of effort for me to beat the Third Kazekage like that. Letting him die like this is the best ending for me. If you want to save him, I won't let him. You have been in the past, even if the little one helped me!
Little one, I know you can resist me, but this Konoha ninja, do you think you can be safe in front of a tailed beast? "
Shinichi pulled out the Black Winged Demon without any expression. Although he and Shukaku had some feelings for each other, it was obvious that between Shukaku and Minato, Shinichi would definitely side with Minato without hesitation. They went there this time. The purpose was to send letters, not to save the Third Kazekage.
However, this mission is confidential. Apart from the top management of Konoha, only Minato and Shinichi know about it. As a ninja, he obviously cannot explain this kind of thing in detail to Ichibi.
If Ichibi wants to fight, then fight, there is no need to explain, because neither he nor Minato will ever be afraid of tailed beasts!
