Chapter 143
"Well... forget it. The previous plan is on hold. It's too risky to attack Kumogakure at this time. Among all the countries in the ninja world today, Iwagakure has the greatest advantage. There's no need for us to fight with those barbarians in Kumogakure."
Thinking of Deidara who hadn't grown up yet, Ohnoki directly rejected the idea of attacking Kumogakure.
In this situation, sending his subordinates to fight would not play a decisive role, and it would only become a war of attrition in the end. But if his own son took action,…………
The Fourth Raikage was still quite capable. If he was pushed to the limit, he would fight to the death. They still had Samui in the Hidden Cloud Village, but what would be left for the Hidden Rock Village? Would they pull the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki to be the Tsuchikage?
Thinking of that bad-tempered guy, Ohnoki couldn't imagine what the Hidden Rock Village would become under his leadership.
"But, Sandaime-sama, this is a rare opportunity. Didn't we plan this out before?" In response to Ohnoki's sudden change of heart, Tsukado retorted with a bit of dissatisfaction on his face.
"That was because we didn't have enough information about Kumogakure before, and what kind of rare opportunity is that? Didn't we have a better chance during the Third War than this time? What was the result? How many elite soldiers of our Iwagakure were killed by the Third Raikage? Now that we have been recuperating for so many years, our Iwagakure has finally recovered a little bit of its strength. I don't want to fight to the death with those barbarians of Kumogakure at this time."
Looking at the short-sighted Tsukado and the other subordinates with fiery faces, Ohnoki was secretly worried. Not only in terms of high-end combat power, but also in terms of overall perspective, his subordinates also lacked a lot.
"Sandaime-sama, that was because the Third Raikage was determined to die and held on. We may not have no chance now.……"
Seeing Ohnoki's indecisiveness, Tsukudori's dissatisfaction was hard to contain.
"So, do you think that at this critical moment, when we invade Kumogakure, the Fourth Raikage will not fight us to the death? Do you still expect those stubborn people in Kumogakure to kneel down and surrender?"
Humph, you greedy and naive thing, I don't know what will happen to Iwagakure without me, Ōnoki.…………
Logically speaking, with so many people in the village, even if we count the number, there should be one or two outstanding talents, right? How did the Will of Stone in our Iwagakure Village give birth to these weirdos?
"Humph, so what? There is no war without risks? Moreover, the current Fourth Raikage may not be as powerful as the Third Raikage!"
Although the Third Raikage was the Kage of the enemy village, his actions in the Third War were still recognized by most of the Iwagakure Ninjas.
"Stupid, is it up to you to guess whether there is someone as powerful as the Third Raikage? What if he is more powerful than the Third Raikage? These things need to be analyzed based on intelligence. Have you read the detailed intelligence of the Thunder and Fire Battle? The Fourth Raikage today is a guy who can fight against Susanoo. How weak can he be?"
Thinking about his own youth shadow and the scene when Uchiha Madara activated Susanoo, Ohnoki subconsciously overestimated the strength of the Fourth Raikage by several levels.
After all, they had never fought each other, and Ohnoki had no idea that his actual combat power was not much worse than that of Uchiha Madara back then.
"Susanoo is strong, but didn't the Fourth Raikage still lose to Uchiha Fugaku? This doesn't prove anything, and the Fourth Raikage is still injured. We have more people and an elite army against a defeated army. The advantage is on us!"
Unlike other hidden villages, Iwagakure has a full understanding of the Uchiha clan's Susanoo. After all, the situation in which Uchiha Madara overwhelmed the entire Iwagakure by himself has become a nightmare for many old people in the Iwagakure Village, and the information about Susanoo is also passed on from mouth to mouth.
Although he thinks the Fourth Raikage is not worth mentioning, Tsukudori's brain is not so arrogant as to think that Susanoo is also a rumor.
"Are we going to waste our numbers on this? That's the capital we have worked so hard to cultivate, are we going to just use it to fight to the death with those guys in Kumogakure who may do something desperate at any time? Tsukatsu, can't you use your pig brain and think about it carefully? If we continue to develop for a few more years, the gap between us and the villages in the ninja world will only get bigger and bigger.
By then, even if we are the largest village in the ninja world, we, Iwagakure, may not be able to sit on it.
"
The more it is at this time, the more we have to think calmly and not be swayed by greed and desire. Why can't Tsukatsu figure it out?
"Sandaime-sama, you are too weak!"
As long as our Iwagakure seizes this opportunity, harvests or even destroys Kumogakure, how many years do we need to wait? Right now, our Iwagakure can become the number one in the ninja world!
"It has nothing to do with being weak or not. I am doing this for the overall benefit of the village."Tsukado is really getting more and more unruly. Is it because I haven't taken action for too long? Do you think I, Ōnoki, am old and useless?
"Sandaime, you will regret it~"
"Tsukatsu, I am the Tsuchikage!"
Bang!
As the door of the Tsuchikage's office trembled, Tsukatsu, with an indignant look on his face, left alone~
"Sandaime-sama, please don't bother with Tsukatsu-sama, after all, we all want a better life for the Iwagakure Village." Seeing Ohnoki with a gloomy look on his face, Yamatsu-sama beside him hurriedly tried to reconcile him.
Tsukatsu-sama is too bold, isn't he? This is Sandaime-sama who has the bloodline of Dust Release, and you dare to slam the door in front of him? Do you really think he is just a short old man like this on the surface?
"Yes, yes, Tsukado is too reckless, but his original intention is still for the good of the village, but he does not have the overall perspective like the Sandaime."
Looking at his friends around him madly winking at him, Tian Tu on the other side also hurriedly spoke up to make peace.
"Phew~ I won't bother with him. I'm just worried that there will be no successor to our Iwagakure. After all, I'm already old. You guys...sigh~ all go down."
Looking at the two people who were frantically trying to make peace with Tsukatsu, Ohnoki didn't feel any aversion to their behavior. After all, they were all companions from the same village. What Yamato and the others did was more satisfying to him than just watching from the sidelines.
"Yes, Sandaime-sama, I hope you can take care of yourself. The current Iwagakure cannot do without your care."
The Sandaime... is indeed old. His own Iwagakure has fallen to the point where it cannot find a suitable successor. No wonder, even in this favorable situation, the Sandaime-sama does not want to take action against Kumogakure~
