Chapter 120 Parties
Eye roll!
Everyone on the field was well aware of the thorniness of the matter.
Why was Konoha able to hold on to the end and become the ultimate winner in every Ninja World War, fighting one-on-two, or even one-on-three or one-on-four?
Is it because the quality of Konoha's ninjas is stronger than that of the other four nations?
Do not!
It was because Konoha's foundation was too strong! It had many powerful bloodline families, mystic families, and a new generation with outstanding talents.
For example, Uchiha?
Although everyone present dislikes Uchiha, no one can deny the power of Uchiha's Sharingan. With the evil Sharingan activated, Uchiha can become a formidable warrior on the battlefield.
The Ino-Shika-Chou family also took charge of wartime strategy, communications, interrogation, and defense.
The Hyuga clan, which is on par with the Senju and Uchiha clan, has a Byakugan whose war value far exceeds its value in combat.
The barbarians in the Land of Lightning who have honed their lightning-style taijutsu to the point where they can charge around recklessly have to retreat in fear when faced with the Byakugan and Gentle Fists of the Hyuga clan.
It is used to observe enemy camps, manpower and other information, which is what the White Eyes are good at!
It is precisely because of the existence of the Byakugan that, under normal circumstances, Konoha can often take the initiative on the battlefield and make certain preparations in advance.
The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is valued not only by the Hyuga clan, but also by the Konoha high-level officials who know its value.
If the Byakugan leaked out at this critical moment of the war, the consequences for Konoha might be more troublesome than having an additional Kage-level strongman on the opposite side.
Thinking about the healing talisman discussed before, Sarutobi Hiruzen wondered for a moment, why bad news always comes one after another?
……
Anchor Bandian.
"how do you feel?"
Looking at Yahiko lying on the operating table, Lu Nie asked softly.
Kane, who had just accepted a mission to go out of the village, handed the mission to Shisui and Red Bean after leaving the village for a distance, and then used the black cavity to return to Anchor Bandian.
"It hurts! It hurts and it's numb."
Yahiko suppressed his physical discomfort and described the feelings inside his body.
Konan carefully lifted Yahiko, who was wearing various life-support devices and testing equipment patches, from the operating table and applied a green ointment on his wounds. After doing all this, she wrapped him up with bandages again, leaving only half of his face exposed.
"This is a good thing." Lu Nie stood aside and watched Xiao Nan's actions, and comforted her: "At least this shows that the treatment is effective, and your necrotic nerves and perception are recovering.
If you don’t feel anything, then follow-up treatment will be a little difficult.”
"Does this mean that I'm recovering?" Yahiko had never felt pain and itchiness so familiar as he did at this moment.
Compared to the previous situation where his body was completely unconscious and only his head could control its movements freely, it was a world of difference. At least at this moment, he could truly feel that his body was still there.
"Yes. But don't be too happy. I'm already a little surprised that you can recover to this extent." Lu Nie looked at the physical data of Yahiko detected on the instrument, "The next treatment will not be effective with these medicines.
I will perform several neural implant surgeries on you, and replace dead organs and limbs when necessary."
"I understand!" Yahiko nodded.
"Don't we need to look for Lady Tsunade?" Konan was a little confused.
"That's the last insurance. In addition, Konoha is also looking for Tsunade-senpai, but it's clear that she is really trying to avoid it this time. Let's follow my treatment plan first, at least let Yahiko regain his mobility first." Lu Nie replied. The battlefield is the place that Tsunade, who has hemophobia, avoids the most.
……
The land of rain.
Yuyin Village.
It was raining heavily and the sky was gloomy and gray.
The buildings of the Hidden Rain Village revealed a lonely and depressing atmosphere under the wash of rain, just like Hanzo's mood at the moment.
"Lord Hanzo, the envoy from the Iwagakure Village has arrived at the Raingakure Village." A Rain Ninja wearing a protective mask knelt on one knee and reported to Hanzo, who was looking at the pouring rain outside the window.
"Where are those three brats from Akatsuki?" Hanzo's voice sounded muffled because he was wearing a mask.
"Still searching." The Rain Ninja who reported the intelligence was a little trembling.
Although Hanzo's tone did not reveal his joy or anger, as members of Hanzo's Anbu guards, they knew very well that Hanzo had been in a very bad mood during this period of time.
They have searched almost every corner of the Rain Country, including the former base of Akatsuki, but have found no trace of the three leaders of Akatsuki.
Even if they captured a few members of the Akatsuki organization and tortured them in the interrogation team, the information they obtained was only the final order they received, which was to temporarily disband and leave the Rain Country.
The disbandment of Akatsuki and the disappearance of its three leaders directly put the Hidden Rain Village and Hanzo in trouble. Both Konoha and Iwagakure sent harsh questions.
Konoha was fine. Although it was powerful, it was unable to cope with the situation of fighting on two fronts: the Iwagakure Village was putting all its efforts into it, and the Mist Village was launching sneak attacks and harassment. It was difficult to allocate manpower to target the Rain Village, and they also had to worry about forcing the Rain Village into the Iwagakure Village's camp.
But the Iwagakure Village, which was so powerful that it even had the upper hand in the war at one point, did not have the same concerns as Konoha.
The healing talisman reduced a lot of casualties in the Iwagakure Village. From the perspective of the Tsuchikage, Ōnoki must have hoped to have it in his own hands.
So when an accident happened to the Akatsuki organization, Ōnoki, who had already experienced the role of healing talismans in war, did not want to see problems with the supply of healing talismans.
So after continuous questioning, in order to force Hanzo to hand over the leader of Akatsuki or the craftsmanship and technology of making healing talismans, the Iwagakure Village simply sent someone to the Rain Village to meet Hanzo in person.
This is also what Hanzo is worried about now. He can neither hand over the three leaders of the Akatsuki organization nor the craftsmanship and technology of the healing talisman.
What made Hanzo even more helpless was that the Iwagakure would not trust him just because of what he said.
Wage war with Iwagakure?
Hanzo was not afraid when he was young, but now he no longer has the ambition he once had. Even though his strength in the ninja world is comparable to that of the Kage of the five great nations, the Rain Country still cannot become the sixth great nation.
The way for a small ninja village to survive is to choose a large ninja village to join when war comes. Neither being neutral nor having their own will is allowed.
Even Hanzo is powerless to change this.
Join Konoha?
During the war, Konoha, which was at a disadvantage, might tolerate the infringement of its interests by the Hidden Rain Village. But how much would it cost to eliminate Konoha's anger?
