The Second Hokage was the eternal nightmare of Kumogakure and he beat them into signing a peace treaty.
Now, they can watch the good show of killing each other, and they have the hope of taking back those disputed lands, including the Land of Fields and the Land of Iron, so they are naturally very happy.
These two countries possess two important war supplies: food and weapons.
Kumogakure also wants to obtain important supplies from these two countries.
They have no worries.
Wars between the Five Great Nations are rarely fought on their own soil. The existence of these small countries themselves serves as a buffer zone for the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
What they have is patience and strength.
The current division within Konohagakure is their biggest advantage.
The Third Raikage has absolute say in Kumogakure and the Land of Lightning, and he can make the final decision on any matter.
The Third Raikage gave the order.
Draw forces from Amegakure to the Land of Fields.
…
Sunagakure.
A figure stands on the top of the Kazekage Building, feeling the invasion of wind and sand.
This is a bald man with a green dragon surrounding half of his face. His eyes are full of ambition as he looks towards the direction of the Land of Fire.
This person is none other than the Second Kazekage Shamon, known as the founder of Sunagakure's revival.
He studied the militarization of the tailed beasts, conducted in-depth research on Shukaku, and developed magnetic escape techniques and puppetry techniques.
Learn from Tobirama Senju and establish ANBU, Ninja School, and other public institutions that are beneficial to the village's inheritance.
"Kazekage-sama!"
At his feet, Ebizō shouted respectfully.
tread...
The Second Kazekage floated down from the roof.
He nodded to Ebizō and walked into the Kazekage Building.
The architecture and decoration here are much simpler than those of the Hokage Building.
"Lord Kazekage, as you expected, the initial news spread from the Wooden City.
According to the spies' investigation, the structure of Konohagakure is just as the rumors say, with the Sarutobi clan monopolizing most of Konohagakure's resources.
If this continues, without change, Konohagakure will become a possession of the Sarutobi clan."
Ebizō reported with his head down, with huge waves in his heart. While he was gloating, he was also worried about the current situation of Sunagakure.
Many of the policies of Sunagakure were copied by the Second Kazekage from Tobirama Senju.
Konohagakure is like a mirror, through which we can see the future development direction of Sunagakure, like a control group.
"Don't worry too much. The difference between Sunagakure and Konohagakure is that the ninja families in Sunagakure are very rare and do not have such abilities.
This also reminds us that the future inheritance method cannot be the same as Konohagakure, and the character of the leader needs to be considered more.
I admire Tobirama Senju very much, but now it seems that he has made such a serious mistake.
I still have time to do more for Sunagakure.
"Obtain long-term survival resources, and the villagers of Sunagakure won't have to live such a hard life in the future."
The second-generation Kazekage Shamon's tone was full of sighs as he comforted Ebizō, his outstanding junior.
Ebizō and Chiyo are the younger generations he is very optimistic about. The future prosperity and growth of Sunagakure will depend on them.
For the future development of Sunagakure, the image crisis that has broken out for Hiruzen Sarutobi is actually a good thing.
He asked Ebizō to investigate because he did not quite believe the rumors in the ninja world, so he asked Ebizō to verify it.
He personally participated in the Five Kage Summit after the First Shinobi World War.
At that time, he was following behind the First Kazekage.
Almost all the Second Kage attended the first Five Kage Summit as guards.
Except for the Second Mizukage, who fell into a coma due to chakra depletion and missed the first Five Kage Summit, and was replaced by his disciple.
Therefore, it is an unwritten rule that Kage's direct guard will inherit Kage's position.
What people criticized about Hiruzen Sarutobi was that he did not fulfill his responsibility to protect the Hokage and that he did dirty things in secret.
The information spread by Nawaki Senju is difficult to determine whether it is true or false.
Whether true or false.
Sunagakure can profit from it, and even replenish the impoverished territory of the Land of Wind. He wants to help the Land of Wind get out of its current predicament.
He felt a little unwilling that he did not gain any benefit in the battle to destroy Uzushiogakure. All this was due to the awkward geographical location of Sunagakure.
He wants to improve the plight of Sunagakure.
"Lord Kazekage, has your health become so bad?"
There was some sadness in Ebizō's eyes.
He saw the determination of the Second Kazekage. The reason why he was so anxious to start the Second Shinobi World War was because he didn't have much time left.
The monk who dedicated his life to Sunagakure exudes a sense of death.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we plan well, we can get the land and resources we want.
Chiyo continues to fight on the battlefield of Amegakure.
You go to the battlefield of Land of Fields and stir up trouble.
I will go to the Land of Rivers myself, and you are my real goal."
The eyes of the second-generation Kazekage Shamon were full of satisfaction. Being recognized by the younger generation was also something he longed for.
Arrange their respective tasks.
"This? I don't have any problem with that, but why did you choose River Country?"
Ebizō was puzzled.
I don't understand why the Second Kazekage chose the Land of Rivers as his target.
Rather than a country of rain with abundant water resources and a country of fields with abundant food resources.
"Don't be too greedy.
Within Amegakure, various forces intertwine: the local Hanzo, the unknown organization lurking in the shadows, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, Konohagakure, Kirigakure—nearly the entire ninja world—is there. We only briefly gained an advantage with Chiyo's poison technique, but there's no way we can hold onto this territory for long.
It was destined to be a meat grinder.
The location of Land of Fields is separated from Sunagakure by several small villages, so it is also impossible to occupy it for a long time. We must learn from the lessons of Takigakure Village.
Only the River Country has less water and land resources than the other two countries, but its location, at the border between us and the Land of Fire, makes it the best choice."
The second-generation Kazekage had a tired look on his face, and he patiently answered the questions in his mind for the outstanding junior in front of him.
This was the last thing he could do for Sunagakure.
After obtaining the land of River Country, at least we will not fall into a food crisis.
This war made him more aware of the importance of resources.
"yes!"
A shrewd look flashed in Ebizō's eyes.
Recalling the map and sphere of influence of the Ninja World, as the Second Kazekage said, River Country is their best choice.
The rest of the places are just for cover.
A major battle is needed to determine their outcome.
"Go! Protect yourself! Don't get into conflict with the Senju family."
The Second Kazekage waved his hands, his eyes filled with exhaustion.
After Ebizō left, a scroll appeared in his hand.
"Tobirama Senju, your vision has deteriorated!"
The scroll was sent by Hiruzen Sarutobi to ask for peace. It was the sealing technique that their Sunagakure needed most, but the price was the Land of Fields, which he had already decided to give up.
For Sunagakure, taking over the River Country has become a foregone conclusion.
No matter what happens, their Sunagakure will be the winner of this war.
They have already got the land they wanted.
Chiyo, Ebizō, Rasa, Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law are all talented.
As long as the new generation does not die prematurely, the future will get better and better.
But the reality is always not as we wish.
