NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 271: Konoha Is Desperate
In fact, Ibis is not willing to stand on the opposite side of the Country of Wind.
As a daimyo of the country of birds, Toki is very self-aware.
She knew very well what the Bird Country was capable of.
There are only three thousand warriors that the Kingdom of Birds can gather. This number is really pitiful.
In the Kingdom of Wind, not to mention warriors, even the stronger ninjas have far more than 3,000 people. The number of ninjas in Sand Shinobi Village, including Genin, is probably more than 30,000.
Not to mention warriors, the threshold for warriors is low, as long as you are a man, as long as you have excellent physique, and you have money to buy a sword, you can become a warrior.
Therefore, the number of warriors in a country definitely far exceeds that of ninjas.
Based on this calculation, let the Kingdom of Birds and the Kingdom of Wind compete head-on, it is not like an egg against a stone.
But Mizuki had a tough attitude and didn't give Ibis any other choice.
Although she is a daimyo and the one with the highest status in the Kingdom of Birds in name, she has no right to refute in front of Mizuki.
She could feel that unlike other ninjas, Mizuki didn't pay attention to the so-called daimyo at all.
"The prosperity of the Bird Country today is all thanks to Mizuki-sama."
"Mizuki-sama, if you want to fight, let's fight!"
"It's just that the lives of soldiers are precious. I hope Mizuki-sama can be merciful."
"If nothing can be done, please allow them to retreat."
Mizuki smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know it well. That's it. I've decided to ask the daimyo to quickly draw up his credentials and return to the land of the wind, and reject all rude requests."
Toki had no choice but to follow Mizuki's request.
Soon, the credentials were sent.
A few days later, the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind received the letter of credence and was furious after reading it!
"It's just a famous name in the country of birds, but a female prostitute has repeatedly despised me. How can it be unreasonable!"
"Send troops immediately and destroy her!"
The Kingdom of Wind mobilized immediately, and soon dispatched an army of five thousand warriors, marching in the direction of the Kingdom of Birds.
The speed of the samurai is not that of the ninja, and it will take at least ten days to reach the border.
It was still early, so Mizuki was not in a hurry at all. He continued to come to Meow Star to practice celestial arts, and when the time was almost up, he returned to the ninja world to deal with the war.
The news that the Kingdom of Wind launched samurai to attack the Kingdom of Birds quickly spread to all countries in the ninja world.
Everyone is watching the fun.
Regarding this war, all countries feel that there is no doubt that the Kingdom of Wind will win.
Meanwhile, in Phoenix Village, someone secretly found Minato.
"People from Konoha? What do you want from me?" Minato's attitude was cold and he didn't want to talk to him.
"Minato-sama, do you remember me? During the Third Ninja War, the abominable Rock Shinobi acted recklessly in the Land of Grass, destroyed my village, and killed my parents and villagers. It was you who killed me when you passed by. Rock Shinobi, saved the young me and brought me back to Konoha Village."
"Without you, I would have died long ago!"
"I have considered you my only hero ever since."
Minato glanced at the eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy in front of him and said, "What do you want from me?"
The man said: "You are my hero and my faith. Since you died on the night of Nine Tails, my life has lost the only light."
"But after I learned that you were resurrected, I saw hope again. Minato-sama, I beg you to return to Konoha and continue to be the Hokage."
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Lord Minato, only with you can Konoha have hope. Only with you can we have a direction."
Minato's thoughts were indeed like this again.
This is already the fifth one I've encountered today.
The people of Konoha tried every means to enter Phoenix Village, get close to Minato, brainwash Minato, and wanted to bring Minato back to Konoha.
Their compliments, the sincerity in their words, the various emotional cards they played... To be honest, Minato was really moved.
But when he thought of what Kushina said, he immediately shook off the emotion in his heart and walked away with a cold face.
Which is more important, the village or the wife?
Nonsense, of course the wife is important!
He could choose to die with Kushina back then, and now he can still choose not to return to Konoha with Kushina.
Seeing that Minato was not moved, Konoha had no choice but to change the target.
Instead of looking for Minato, they went to find Naruto.
"Naruto-kun, as long as you can return to Konoha, the Sixth Hokage will be yours."
"Those who have offended you or scolded you before are all willing to kowtow to you and apologize."
"The Third Hokage is the culprit that caused your tragic childhood. As long as you return to Konoha, the bones of the Third Generation will be at your disposal, whether you crush them or raise them to ashes."
"And Danzo, who has also been eyeing you, we suggest that you use his skull as a urinal."
Naruto:......
How cruel!
Naruto listened to Kushina in everything, and it was of course impossible for him to return to Konoha.
Konoha tried every means, but unfortunately they all failed.
"What should I do?" Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu are worried to death!
The fake Orochimaru has aroused the suspicion of some people, and it seems that he can't hide it for much longer. If Minato doesn't return to Konoha, the village will really be in chaos.
We can't really let Senju Hashirama return to the position of Hokage, it will become a joke to the entire ninja world.
Shikaku sighed: "If this continues, we will have no choice but to follow the example of the Kingdom of Wind and launch a war to divert internal conflicts."
When the Third Kazekage disappeared, Sand Shinobi Village was leaderless, and all forces in the village were vying for the position of the Fourth Kazekage.
Seeing that internal friction continues like this, Sand Shinobi Village will completely decline.
So, Ebizō came up with an idea to launch a war externally and transform internal conflicts into external conflicts.
As the war continues, everyone unites as one, and the village no longer suffers from internal strife, but instead becomes united in dealing with the outside world.
Nowadays, Konoha is facing such a dilemma. If the Fourth Generation does not come back and a new Hokage cannot be elected, then war can only be used to divert internal conflicts.
"The problem is Kushina!"
Shikaku finally realized who was in charge of the Minato family.
"As long as Kushina doesn't return to the village, Minato and Naruto will not come back."
"We have to find a way to get Kushina back to the village."
Utatane Koharu said: "Kushina was brought to Konoha since she was a child. She has no relatives and no ties to Konoha. It is too difficult for her to return to Konoha."
Mitokado Homura also kept sighing, his mind was empty and he couldn't think of a good solution.
Lu Jiu thought for a long time and finally said: "If it really doesn't work, then there is only one candidate left."
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu asked at the same time: "Who?"
Lu Jiu opened his mouth but said nothing, as if it was difficult to say this name.
But facing the direct looks from the two consultants, he finally spoke out.
"Uchiha Itachi!"
Mitokado Homura immediately shouted: "Shikaku, you are crazy!"
Utatane Koharu also said: "He is a rebellious ninja, and you actually proposed to let a rebellious nin return to the village to be a Hokage, Shikaku, you..."
Shikaku said: "So what if you rebelled against the ninja? Now that Minato has gone to the Land of Birds, it stands to reason that he is also a traitorous ninja."
The two advisors hurriedly said: "Minato is different. He has never done anything sorry for Konoha. He only went to the Kingdom of Birds because of a misunderstanding."
Shikaku smiled.
Misunderstand?
Minato doesn't think so.
"Yes, Itachi did destroy the Uchiha clan, and he did become a rebel nin."
"However, he did this all for the sake of Konoha. He chose to kill his relatives for the sake of the peace of the village. This kind of person is definitely qualified to be the Hokage."
Mitokado Homura said loudly: "So what if this is true? Will the villagers believe it? Will the daimyo believe it?"
"No one believed it, how could he be recognized as a Hokage?"
Shikaku: "Haha, when Orochimaru returned to Konoha, the villagers didn't believe it, but so what? In the end, he still became the Fifth Generation."
"As long as we publicize Itachi's heroic deeds more, reveal to the public the truth about how he destroyed the Uchiha clan, and make it more jealous, the villagers will naturally believe it, and so will the daimyo. Even the Ultimate's reversal will make the villagers believe it. Crazy worship of Uchiha Itachi. When the time comes, Itachi returns to Konoha as a hero, and becoming the Hokage will be very easy."
The two consultants still have concerns.
"But, we all heard about Itachi, what if it's false?"
Shikaku: "Danzo has admitted the truth about Itachi's annihilation of the clan. Although Danzo did extreme things, he was dedicated to Konoha."
"With his personality, he will never admit that a person who is harmful to Konoha is a hero of Konoha. If he can admit it, it means that Itachi is really a hero."
