Fortunately, Konoha quickly issued a statement to clarify: claiming that Iwagakure had taken the initiative to commit suicide, not only refusing to form an alliance but also sending envoys for a false visit, stealing Uchiha's secret forbidden techniques, and desecrating the Uchiha Temple.
Because of this, Uchiha Madara attacked Iwagakure alone for revenge, which had nothing to do with Konoha.
This statement seemed reasonable.
But anyone with a keen eye knew that this was surely an excuse made afterward. It was unfortunate that Iwagakure had been destroyed, and there was no evidence.
Konoha did not want to take the blame as much as it wanted.
Fortunately, at least five major countries had been informed.
Konoha's recent setbacks and humility indeed calmed some nobles and allowed the Land of Wind to start promoting the construction of Sunagakure.
"Shamon, what do you think of Konoha?"
The First Kazekage Reto stood at a high point, looking down over the entire village while asking Shamon beside him.
"Konoha is very ambitious and has two major clans, Senju and Uchiha. They are a significant threat to the entire ninja world! Waiting for them to grow will surely erode the living environment in all other countries."
"Moreover, the Land of Wind is barren, and if we want to expand, we cannot avoid the Land of Fire and Konoha."
Shamon's ability to assess the situation was still good.
This clearly analyzed the current situation of Sunagakure and the threat from Konoha.
"You're right! The threat from Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara is just too great."
"The Land of Wind cannot take this risk; otherwise, it will likely end up like Iwagakure."
Reto was not foolish either.
How could a man who could become the First Kazekage be foolish?
Or was it because those two perverts from Konoha were so strong that they limited almost all conspiracies from enemy countries?
Shamon urged, "Then we must unite all the other major countries to fight against Konoha! If Konoha grows larger, we will all lose everything!"
Reto sighed: "Why! Just wait. Once Sunagakure is truly established, I will unite the other countries in the name of Kazekage to stop Konoha together."
"For now, let's focus on building the village first!"
Reto was more rational and knew that Konoha could not be rivaled by just one nation.
The other countries had not yet formed villages, making it difficult to fully unite.
He was just a ninja.
Without the Kazekage title, he feared he would not be able to see other famous names, let alone join an alliance.
The premise of all resistance was based on his own strength!
Although Konoha was strong, it had just started and was still gathering power. From this perspective, Reto still had time to develop.
Whatever happened, building the village first was the top priority!
"It is true; when you become Kazekage, you can unite more power!"
Shamon nodded helplessly, knowing that Reto was speaking the truth.
WHOOSH
An elite Sunagakure ninja came from afar, bringing important news.
"Reto-sama, something has happened!"
"Bijuu are coming here!"
"Why are you panicking? It's just Bijuu. Don't forget there's one sealed in the Sand Hill Temple. It's just Bijuu, that's all."
Reto scolded, dissatisfied with his subordinate's mistake.
How could a ninja be so impatient?
Besides, he still believed in his own strength.
After all, he was the ruthless one who ended a country's difficult times and forcibly established Sunagakure, and his power was naturally very impressive.
As long as the enemy was not a pervert like Uchiha Madara, he would not fear any enemy!
"No, this is different!"
"What's the difference?"
"It's not just one, but five Bijuu!"
"What are you saying?!!"
Hearing this, Reto was stunned and suddenly raised his voice.
Just because he could fight, it didn't mean he could take on five Bijuu!
Five Bijuu attacking together, what concept was that?
It was enough to push Sunagakure into the ground and rub it hard, even going in and out seven times.
"Reto-sama, that's absolutely true. The ninjas assigned to guard outside have seen it with their own eyes, and the Bijuu are moving very fast! They should arrive soon!"
"In which direction?"
"Over there!"
Reto and the other two looked in that direction.
Soon, they saw several blurry black dots moving quickly toward this side on the distant edge of the sky.
Each black dot looked small but was very large.
Combined with its terrifying speed, it truly rolled up the surging waves of sand in the desert, crashing like a storm, and its power was very frightening!
Upon seeing this, Reto, who had just scolded his subordinate to be calmer, could not hold back his sweat.
The next moment, he surrendered without hesitation and ordered:
"Quick, arrange for everyone in the village to evacuate!"
"Run! The farther you go, the better!"
"Before the Bijuu leave, you must not return recklessly."
After experiencing the fierce battle with Shukaku, he naturally understood the terror of Bijuu's power.
Once the war started, let alone five Bijuu, even just one could bring disaster to the unfinished Sunagakure!
This land could be abandoned, but those who built Sunagakure could not die!
They were the foundation of the village!
Having been destroyed by a group, in the next ten years, never think of building Sunagakure again!
"As you command!"
"Reto-sama, what should I do?"
"You also go and help the villagers evacuate!"
"What about you?"
"I will try to fight this beast!"
"Reto-sama, that's too dangerous!"
"Don't worry, I'm confident. If I really lose, I will retreat immediately. On the contrary, it's you who will recklessly join the battlefield, which will divert my attention."
"I understand, but why are the Five Bijuu attacking now? Is it someone?"
"That's impossible. There is no one in this world who can control five Bijuu at the same time!"
"The five Bijuu aren't coming for Shukaku, right?"
"That's impossible."
"It's rumored that Bijuu are very conflicted with each other, and it's rare to witness more than two Bijuu at the same time. Moreover, Shukaku has been sealed by the Temple for years. This is not the right time to form a team to rescue him."
"That's impossible."
Reto frowned in confusion, not knowing the reason at all.
It was unlikely that Konoha would be leading behind the scenes. However, the five Bijuu that were getting closer soon provided the answer.
Kyuubi rushed forward. With an expression of arrogance and excitement on its face, it began to shout loudly from a distance:
"Stupid tanuki, we are here to save you!"
"Ha ha ha!"
"Just wait, I will definitely rescue you."
Hearing this, Reto, who had just sworn, was slapped in the face hard again, and his face felt hot.
"Reto-sama, they really came to save Shukaku!"
"I know, don't panic!"
"The Bijuu have a clear purpose, which is good news. This way, they might not target the village! I can also protect the village better."
The words were not yet finished. From a distance, Reto saw a Bijudama being spat from Kyuubi's mouth, shooting straight toward the main part of Sunagakure!
As Bijuu met, he pulled out marbles to welcome it.
