Jiraiya was not surprised to hear that ninjas from the Wind Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom were coming.
Before they attacked the Iron Mine City, ninjas from the Wind Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom had already gathered here. Their attack on the Iron Mine City caused such a big commotion that the ninjas from the Wind Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom would definitely come to check it out.
Jiraiya jumped onto the city wall and looked into the distance, and saw hundreds of ninjas from the Wind Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom.
The Earth Kingdom ninja team is led by an Elite Jōnin, while the Wind Kingdom ninja team is led by a Jōnin.
Jiraiya's eyes moved slightly. The ninjas from the Wind Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom were all elite.
"I didn't expect Konoha to conquer Iron Ore City so quickly. It looks like it will be difficult for us to get a piece of the pie."
The Jōnin of the Wind Kingdom said to the Elite Jōnin of the Earth Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth have now reached an alliance. After all, their strength is not as good as Konoha.
If they want to compete with Konoha for territory in the Rain Country, they must work together. If they don't cooperate, they will definitely not be able to compete with Konoha.
As for cooperating with Konoha and attacking the Rain Country at the same time, the two countries had never considered it at all.
If they cooperate with Konoha, the initiative will be firmly in Konoha's hands, and the benefits they can gain will be very little.
So after careful consideration, the two countries gave up the alliance with Konoha. Similarly, giving up the alliance with Konoha would mean becoming the enemy of Konoha.
After all, there are not many places to distribute resources in the Rain Kingdom. If they all want to occupy them, conflicts will inevitably arise.
Just like the resource point of Iron Mine City.
The ninjas from the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth also want the iron ore produced and want to make a profit from it. Now that the Iron Mine City has been taken down by Konoha, they don't want to give up, so naturally they can only fight for it.
The top leaders of the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind had already issued orders long ago that Konoha must not be allowed to monopolize the resources of the Iron Ore City no matter what.
"It would be better if Konoha takes down the Iron Ore City now. In this way, we can directly enjoy the resources of the Iron Ore City. At the same time, we put pressure on Konoha, and the other party will inevitably give up some of their interests." The Elite Jōnin of the Land of Earth replied.
"Konoha does not have the ability to completely swallow up the Iron Ore City. As long as we work together, he will not dare to reject our proposal. At most, Konoha will take the lion's share."
The Elite Jōnin of the Land of Earth added.
Looking at the ninjas from the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind rushing towards this side quickly, Jiraiya's face remained normal, but there was a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
"The resources in Iron Ore City are so rich. The Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth will not sit idly by and watch us monopolize Iron Ore City. They are coming here now, and they must want to share some of the benefits."
The Elite Jōnin of the Nara clan said with a slight frown.
"They are dreaming. We spent so much money to capture the Iron Ore City. If they want to benefit from it, they can use their lives to exchange it."
Uchiha Yan said coldly.
"The Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth have formed an alliance.
If we don't give up some of our interests, they will most likely use force.
Then we will have to contend with the counterattack of the Rain Kingdom ninjas.
We will be under great pressure.
If we give up some of our interests appropriately, we will be more stable in the Rain Kingdom."
"If we really fall out with the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, then our next move in the Land of Rain will certainly be severely hampered."
Hyuga Tetsuki said with some concern.
If the Land of the Wind also falls out, then his Konoha will have to deal with three countries at once in the Land of the Rain, and the pressure on them will undoubtedly be enormous.
What Hyuga Tetsuki said makes sense. If this happens, Konoha will be under great pressure.
Although the Wind Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom are not as powerful as the Fire Kingdom, they are also great powers. Once a war breaks out, Konoha's losses will definitely increase.
"The resources of Iron Ore City must be enjoyed exclusively by Konoha. The Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth want to share the resources of Iron Ore City, but they are not worthy yet."
Jiraiya said with a snort.
He would never make any concessions to the Wind Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom. In the original work, during World War II, Konoha had a falling out with the Wind Kingdom, the Earth Kingdom and the Rain Kingdom, and he single-handedly defeated the Earth Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom.
So they don't need to compromise at all.
With Konoha's strength, it is still possible to fight on three fronts in the Rain Country.
Jiraiya originally wanted to start a great ninja war to unify the ninja world.
He planned to use World War II as a starting point to launch the Ninja World War.
In the original work, after the war in the Rain Country ended, Konoha broke into the territory of the Wind Country, and the ninjas of the Wind Country were unable to compete with Konoha at all.
If Sarutobi Hiruzen hadn't been soft-hearted, he could have even destroyed the Wind Kingdom.
Konoha is now extremely powerful. During the Third World War, Konoha was able to challenge the three major ninja countries alone without being at a disadvantage.
After the Third World War, Konoha's strength began to decline.
If Jiraiya wanted to use Konoha's power to unify the ninja world, he would naturally have to launch the Ninja World War when Konoha was at its peak.
"This is already our Konoha's territory. Stop immediately, otherwise I will think you are going to attack our Konoha."
Jiraiya shouted from atop the city wall.
"Jiraiya, this is the territory of the Rain Country. When did it become the territory of your Konoha?"
The Elite Jōnin of the Land of Earth responded with a soft laugh.
"Jiraiya, I also remember that Iron Ore City has always belonged to the Rain Country."
The Jōnin of the Wind Kingdom echoed.
"I said that Iron Ore City now belongs to our Konoha. He belongs to our Konoha. I know what you are planning. I can tell you clearly now that our Konoha will monopolize Iron Ore City. Your two countries will not have a share in the membership here."
Jiraiya responded forcefully.
"Jiraiya, don't be so absolute. There are so many resources in the iron ore layer. It is impossible for Konoha to grasp them all by yourself."
The Elite Jōnin of the Land of Earth said solemnly.
"You, Konoha, are really greedy if you want to monopolize the Iron Ore City."
"Jiraiya, our two countries must have the resources of the Iron Ore City. If you, Konoha, don't agree, we will have no choice but to use force." The Jōnin of the Wind Kingdom threatened directly.
When they arrived, the top leaders had already given him very clear orders.
At all costs, they must seize a portion of the profits of the Iron Mine City, even if it means going to war with Konoha in the Land of the Rain.
They are now allied with the Land of Earth, and have the confidence to fight Konoha against that country.
And if you want to negotiate, you must show enough strength.
Only then can we gain enough benefits.
"Jiraiya, the same is true for us in the Land of Earth. We must get some of the resources in the Iron Ore City, no matter what the cost, even if it means war." The Elite Jōnin of the Land of Earth also expressed his tough attitude.
