White Fang was indirectly telling Jiraiya, who could guarantee what would happen in the future?
Perhaps the Uchiha clan would indeed explode, or perhaps not. Worrying so much now was just borrowing trouble. Since the village's establishment until now, had the Uchiha clan ever exploded?
In fact, even in the original work, if the Uchiha clan hadn't been targeted and treated unfairly in various ways, would they really have rebelled and chosen a coup d'état?
The high-ranking officials worried, the Uchiha clan's proud personality, and their urgent desire to prove themselves—all these conditions combined would lead to deeper misunderstandings and allow certain schemers to pull strings.
"This absolutely cannot go on!!!"
Inside the Sand Ninja Camp Headquarters, Granny Chiyo sat below Rasa, pounding the table in a fit of rage. Today, a battle that was once advantageous was once again turned around by Uchiha Ronglin alone. This made Granny Chiyo unable to accept the fact, but she was truly helpless.
With the same number of people, as the war continued, the Sand Ninjas' casualties were too high compared to Konoha. Dragging this out would only become increasingly unfavorable for the Sand Ninjas.
Whether in national power or ninja numbers, the Sand Ninjas could not compare to Konoha. If this consumption continued for too long, the ultimate loser would only be the Hidden Sand Village. All the high-ranking officials saw this phenomenon but could not come up with a good way to change the current situation.
"I think we should look for a breakthrough, rather than continuing to exhaust ourselves against Konoha like this. Otherwise, one day we will be dragged down."
As time passed, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa's influence grew, and the power in his hands gradually increased.
To be honest, if it weren't for being assassinated by Orochimaru, Rasa would indeed have been a good Kazekage.
It's just a pity that the impression of the Kazekage is often that of a constantly assassinated character. From the Third Kazekage onwards, this strange phenomenon has continued.
The Third Kazekage was assassinated by the village's rogue ninja Sasori of the Red Sand. The Fourth Kazekage was assassinated by Konoha's rogue ninja Orochimaru. And the Fifth Kazekage was captured, even more tragically.
If Granny Chiyo hadn't sacrificed herself to save him, Gaara might not have even been in the Fourth Great Ninja War.
"But where should we look for this breakthrough?"
Inside the command center, all the influential people from the Hidden Sand Village gathered here.
Everyone followed Granny Chiyo's question, and they all eventually looked at the Fourth Kazekage Rasa beside them.
Even though Rasa performed well, being watched by so many people at a time like this put a lot of pressure on him. If he made the wrong choice, he would become a sinner to the entire village.
Speaking at this moment was the most irrational thing to do, but Rasa disliked the feeling of having his power controlled by others. He urgently wanted to seize power and earn everyone's trust.
"I think we should seek allies, like the Hidden Stone Village."
Frowning in thought for a moment, Rasa finally proposed the most reliable suggestion: the Hidden Stone Village and Konoha had always been at odds.
If they could seize the opportunity to pull the Hidden Stone Village in, Konoha would face a war on two fronts. Fighting two great ninja villages simultaneously would undoubtedly weaken their strength, and that would be the Hidden Sand Village's chance.
"But how can we persuade the Hidden Stone Village? Even though Konoha has always been at odds with the Hidden Stone Village, it's not easy to bring them in."
Someone immediately raised this question. This was the biggest problem. The Hidden Stone Village's strength was greater than the Hidden Sand Village's. If they joined the war, it would be fatal to Konoha. A two-front war was no joke; it wasn't as simple as casually dividing everything in half with numbers.
This question silenced the command center. Even Rasa, who wanted to show off, was somewhat speechless. It was difficult to persuade the Hidden Stone Village to attack Konoha. Without absolute benefits, it would be hard to convince them.
"Now, we can only try our best to persuade the Tsuchikage, hoping he agrees. As long as the Tsuchikage nods, our opportunity will come. I believe at this time, the Hidden Stone Village wouldn't mind launching a war against Konoha."
In the end, it was the seasoned Granny Chiyo who spoke.
"That's right!"
"As long as there are enough benefits, I don't believe the Hidden Stone Village won't be tempted!!!"
The command center instantly became noisy. Granny Chiyo frowned in displeasure: "Silence!!!!"
In the Hidden Sand Village, Granny Chiyo's prestige was very high, and no one dared to openly oppose her, including Rasa.
Everyone quieted down. Only then did Granny Chiyo speak: "Even if we can persuade the Hidden Stone Village to go to war against Konoha, we will have to pay a huge price. That old fox, the Tsuchikage, won't rush into war with Konoha just because of some empty words from us!!!"
There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!
To persuade the Hidden Stone Village to launch a war against Konoha would require a significant price, perhaps even one that the Hidden Sand Village itself would find difficult to accept.
"This..."
Everyone was speechless. If the cost was so high, was it still necessary?
Although the consumption was severe, their side might not necessarily lose the war.
So, some immediately fell silent with this mindset. 567
Granny Chiyo and Rasa saw everything. Both could only sigh silently in their hearts; without unanimous agreement, they alone could not make a decision.
"Lord Ronglin, this was handed to you by Lord White Fang."
A message from the village. Opening the scroll, Ronglin slightly narrowed his eyes, a flash of anger in his gaze. The village actually wanted him to withdraw from the battlefield and go to the Land of Earth to collect intelligence. This was equivalent to cutting off Ronglin's path to continue seizing military achievements and accumulating prestige!!!
These bastards!!
"Boom!!!"
The scroll in Ronglin's hand directly turned into dust, and even the windows of the wooden house shattered. A few passing ninjas were startled and hurriedly asked, "Lord Ronglin, is something wrong?"
"Nothing." Ronglin took a deep breath, calming his anger. The order had come; his anger was useless.
But this move was indeed insidious. Did they think the war's victory was already leaning towards Konoha, so they started playing dirty tricks in the dark?
You will definitely regret this. I'll wait for the day you come begging me!!
Clenching his fists, Ronglin glanced in the direction of the village, thinking that the war could end in a few months? How naive.
"Are we returning to the village? But the war is still ongoing."
