The Village Hidden in the Stones village has no successor, so it can only take a gamble in this war.
Konoha has gradually decayed, and the powerful Professor, Hiruzen Sarutobino, no longer has the sharpness of his youth.
So, Ōnoki wants to fight for his disappointing juniors.
Even if the Village Hidden in the Stones was defeated in the end, why would it matter?
As long as Hiruzen Sarutobi was still in the position of Hokage, Konoha would continue to adopt a conciliatory foreign policy.
They would not be able to do anything to the Village Hidden in the Stones. At most, they would sign a ceasefire agreement that was as worthless as a piece of waste paper.
Forget about ceding territory or paying compensation; maybe not even an apology is needed.
But Hidden Cloud Village is different.
If Konoha adheres to a deformed, kingly way, then Hidden Cloud Village advocates the ultimate tyranny!
If Konoha dies, Hidden Cloud Village will definitely take its place and become the new overlord of the Shinobi World. This new overlord may be very interested in the challenging task of unifying the Shinobi World…
By then, compared to the isolated Land of Water and the barren Land of Wind, the Land of Earth and the Village Hidden in the Stones, which have a relatively good environment but a lack of talented people, may become the first targets.
So, Konoha can be defeated, but it can never be destroyed. The four countries joined forces to destroy Konoha… Ōnoki has never considered this.
The Land of Lightning and Hidden Cloud Village are located on a peninsula in the northeast of the Shinobi World. If they need to expand their territory, the Land of Fire and Konoha, located in the center of the Shinobi World, will be obstacles that they can never get around.
Wouldn't it be better to weaken Konoha first and then keep Konoha to block the passage of Hidden Cloud Village to the south so that the two can check and balance each other?
"Tsuchikage-sama, the post-war statistics have been completed." A Jōnin walked up to Ōnoki.
Ōnoki took the statistics sheet, looked at it, and suddenly felt dizzy.
Tragic!
In order to kill the third Raikage and his elite troops, more than 2,000 of the 10,000 elite ninjas of the Village Hidden in the Stones were killed, and nearly 3,000 were seriously injured.
More than half were killed or wounded.
He himself was stabbed in the kidney by the Raikage and was seriously injured.
"Clean up the battlefield, take away the wounded and the dead… Take away the Raikage's body as well, and we will… Evacuate."
He was originally thinking about whether he could launch a surprise attack on the Land of Fire and give Konoha a surprise, but now it seems that it would be good enough if they didn't get ambushed by Konoha instead.
Ōnoki knew that in his current state if he ran into Hiruzen, who was still at the end of his prime, he would probably kneel down…
While waiting for the Village Hidden in the Stones ninja to clean up the battlefield, Onoki's mind wandered from Hiruzen Sarutobi to Tobirama Senju, from Tobirama Senju to Senju Hashirama, from Senju Hashirama…
Ōnoki couldn't help but shudder all over. He thought of that man, the shadow of his youth... Madara Uchiha!
The third Raikage is very powerful, but in front of Madara, his deterrent power is not even one-tenth!
"If the first Hokage of Konoha was not Hashirama Senju, but that guy…"
Onoki shook his head, unwilling to think about it any further.
Hashirama Senju is the well-deserved God of Shinobi. His personal strength almost breaks the limits of people's imagination, but as a leader, his ideas are too idealistic, even a little naive, which is inconsistent with his age and status.
If Madara Uchiha had been in charge of Konoha, there might not be so many troubles in the Shinobi World today, and he would probably have been hacked to death by Madara decades ago and then thrown to the ground and buried without care.
After the death of Hashirama Senju, the current Konoha no longer has the aura of the overlord of the Shinobi World, who had the final say.
Unless… Konoha can produce another Madara Uchiha!
"How is this possible… "
Onoki sneered, amused by his own thoughts, and the result was this smile…
Click.
"Hiss! My waist!!!"
...…
"Hiss! My waist! Ibiki, be gentler; you are applying the medicine, not torturing me…"
"Sorry."
Shiratori Uchiha lay on the ground, allowing Ibiki to lift up his clothes and pull down his pants.
There is a shocking wound on his lower back.
Kurenai Yuhi took the bandage and ointment, observed the condition of the wound, and prepared to apply the medicine.
Asuma, who was resting nearby, took a big bite of his dry food, his face full of jealousy.
"I say… What are you jealous of? Are you jealous that I can lie prone while others apply medicine to me, or are you jealous that they can blatantly look at my butt?"
"Damn it, are you a pervert?" Asuma's eyes were spitting fire.
"Haha! Wait, stop pulling my pants off!"
Shiratori stretched out his hands to defend his pants, not letting Kurenai pull them down any further. Otherwise, she would be able to see his butt crack…
"Hehe…"
Kurenai laughed sweetly and applied the ointment to Shiratori's wound.
Seeing this scene, Asuma, next to him, almost drew his sword…
While enduring the pain caused by the medicines, Shiratori reflected on his previous battle.
Damn, the novice protection period is over!
To be honest, Shiratori is indeed a genius who appeared once in a hundred years in Konoha. His total Chakra Reserve is close to that of a Jonin, but his body still brings him great limitations.
In terms of physical fitness alone, he is equivalent to an ordinary adult Chunin—it may not seem like anything special but don't forget that Shiratori is only seven years old this year.
The reason why his power sometimes seems extremely unreasonable is because the Senju clan uses a Hidden Jutsu to increase power through Chakra. However, this Hidden Jutsu also has a great limitation, that is, the Chakra consumption is very terrifying.
Even with Shiratori's total Chakra Reserve, he wouldn't dare to use Hidden Jutsu all the time during a fight.
Considering the Sharingan, Fire Style, and swordsmanship…
It can be said that Shiratori's normal state is just an elite Chunin, but he can intermittently become a Jōnin who specializes in close combat, Fire Jutsu, and Genjutsu.
Therefore, in the ten-day-long team encounter between Konoha's southeast camp and Village Hidden in the Mist in the forest, Shiratori's performance was not that amazing compared to other senior Chunins or Jōnins.
Apart from using the Sharingan's Genjutsu to kill two unlucky guys on the first day…
But unlike before, this time it was a large-scale encounter between the two sides, with many witnesses, so a piece of news spread among the Kirigakure ninjas: "A little bastard from the Uchiha Clan has appeared in Konoha, and he has insidiously covered the clan emblem on his clothes! That little bastard is very strong and has a lot of Chakra, and he especially likes to use the Sharingan's Genjutsu to attack by surprise, so everyone must be careful!"
So, while the Sharingan sneak attack tactics became useless, Shiratori also received special attention from the Kirigakure ninja. The wound on his lower back was caused by a sneak attack by an enemy today.
If his leader hadn't been strong enough, he might have been hacked to pieces by the Kirigakure ninjas right on the spot…
Just as Shiratori was thinking about his leader, Shibi came over from the side.
"How is your injury?" Shibi came to Shiratori and asked with concern.
"Shiratori is fine. Although the wound is deep, it does not damage the bones and internal organs." Kurenai, who had already bandaged Shiratori, replied.
"That's good. Thank you for your hard work."
Shibi patted Shiratori's head, sat down beside him, took out a stack of forms, muttered to himself, and began to review today's post-war statistics.
Konoha's troops were divided into two parts, led by Torifu Akimichi and Shibi Aburame, who took turns to block the Kirigakure ninjas.
After each battle, Shibi needs to count the casualties of Konoha ninjas, and replenish or reorganize the teams with casualties based on the losses of each team.
The sharp-eared Shiratori suddenly heard a name.
"Shibi-sensei, the person you just mentioned is…"
"Oh, he's a weird Genin. He's quite capable, but for some reason, no one wants to be his teammate."
"What's his name?"
"Might Duy."
"… Shibi-sensei, do you think we can add a non-staff member to our team?"
"Um?"
