Chapter 479: Attack Konohagakure
Aoba quickly followed them. There was still a deep doubt in his mind. After all, this was the first time he had seen White Zetsu.
He had seen White Zetsu in anime.
This was his first time in the ninja world. Of course, he had seen Black Zetsu before. He was an existence that was even more difficult to see than White Zetsu.
Suddenly.
Aoba controlled his aura and followed behind these White Zetsu. He also increased his perception to the maximum, so that he could take the absolute initiative in reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance.
As for the battlefield.
Aoba didn't need to care.
After Minato returned, everything would be back on track. With his understanding of Minato's strength and Sage Mode, the ninjas in the Third Ninja World War couldn't do anything to Minato.
At this time, Minato already had the strength of a Kage, and he was still the strongest among the many Kages.
A moment later.
Aoba followed these few White Zetsu to the other side of the battlefield, not too far from the Iwagakure and Konohagakure battlefield.
Just at this time.
Aoba's line of sight directly passed those concealed White Zetsu and landed on the place where their gazes converged.
"That is..."
Aoba did not expect to see that person here, but he just did not think of it. It was not theoretically impossible.
During this period of time, his attention had been focused on pushing the Iwagakure ninja army to Konohagakure. He did not need to go into the details of the Konohagakure ninja army, so it was more or less reasonable.
The place where Aoba's vision was focused was a figure wearing a Konohagakure ninja uniform.
It was a lone figure.
There was no one else around.
There was only one.
Coincidentally, it was someone that Aoba knew.
Uchiha Fugaku!
At this time, Fugaku's face was dignified and serious. He seemed to be looking for something. He stood in the forest and looked a little confused. He look like he did not know where the road forward was. He looked like a headless fly.
"Why is Fugaku here?"
Aoba's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt. There were many Uchiha ninjas in the Konohagakure ninja army. These ninjas could be considered the main battle force of the ninja army. However, he really did not notice when Fugaku left.
"According to my understanding of Fugaku, he is not the kind of person to run away before the battle. If Minato had not returned, Konohagakure ninjas were still fighting cruelly. Why did he come here?"
"The most important thing is..."
"What is he doing here?"
"Why is he targeted by White Zetsu?"
"Is it related to Black Zetsu?"
Big question marks appeared in Aoba's mind one after another. Right now, Fugaku's actions were not normal. No matter how he looked at it, it was very strange. It was as if something that he did not know had happened.
However.
Aoba did not immediately come out to stop Fugaku.
If that was the case.
Then it would be difficult to find the answer to such a riddle.
He had to wait.
Wait quietly.
He looked at Fugaku and look what the latter was going to do. He would find the answer according to the latter's behavior.
Just like this.
Aoba followed behind White Zetsu.
These White Zetsu were secretly observing Fugaku. They silently followed Fugaku and maintained a distance that Fugaku could not detect.
However, they did not know that there was also a person behind them who had a similar posture as them and was also observing them.
...
Country of Wind, Sunagakure.
In Kazekage's office.
"Report!!!"
One of Sunagakure's ninjas quickly ran into Kazekage's office. He looked extremely anxious, and his face was full of anxiety as if something extremely important had happened.
"What happened? Why are you shouting so loudly? Can't you calm down a little?"
The Third Kazekage frowned. Right now, he was controlling the overall situation. Almost all the people in the office were Sunagakure's higher-ups, including Advisor Chiyo, who had just returned.
Swish!
At the conference table in Kazekage's office, Sunagakure's higher-ups focused their attention on the ninja who came in. This person successfully attracted their attention.
"Yes... I will pay attention next time..."
The ninja gasped for breath. He could no longer care about such things. His mind was filled with urgent information and he wanted to report it quickly.
"This is what happened!"
"A report from the frontline!"
"Iwagakure has launched a total attack on Konohagakure!"
"Almost all of Iwagakure's ninjas have already entered the territory of Country of Fire!"
"If there are no accidents..."
"They can defeat Konohagakure before dark!"
This Sunagakure ninja quickly reported the information on the frontline to the Third Kazekage. He was very clear about the importance of this information. This would affect the future structure of the ninja world, especially Sunagakure's future.
"There is actually such a thing!"
The moment the Third Kazekage heard this, he immediately looked at Chiyo and Ebizo. After that, he nodded to the ninja.
"You may leave."
"Yes!" After the ninja completed his report and receive his superior command, he turned around and leave.
After the ninja left.
The Kazekage's office immediately became silent.
This state lasted for a full three seconds. Just as Chiyo was about to speak, the Third Kazekage spoke first.
"Everyone."
"All of you have heard it."
"I believe there is no need for me to explain the significance of this piece of information. Everyone is clear that it is time to make a decision!"
"Which side are we on?"
"Attack Konohagakure immediately?"
"Or take the opportunity to attack Iwagakure?"
The Third Kazekage directly threw out the question in his heart. The current situation was not considered good for Sunagakure, but he had to make a decision immediately. Otherwise, it would be easy for all kinds of problems to appear.
After Third Kazekage spoke, the scene was still silent, but everyone looked at Chiyo and Ebizo at the same time.
This was a very simple truth.
These two people were the most powerful people besides the Third Kazekage. In a certain sense, their words would even affect Kazekage's decision.
"Let me say it."
Chiyo spoke first. She did not look at anyone but looked down at the table.
"I think we should attack Konohagakure!"
Chiyo said something that surprised everyone. After all, everyone at the scene knew the matter between Chiyo and Konohagakure, especially about Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo.
"I didn't say this for my own reasons. In front of the big and small problems that involve the village, I will not do things based on my personal interests."
Chiyo seemed to have noticed everyone's thoughts. Before she gave a specific reason, she started to explain.
After saying this.
Everyone's expression did not change at all.
After all.
It wasn't the first day they met Chiyo.
This Sunagakure pillar of support would not lie about such a thing. She was still very credible.
"Let me tell you the reason first."
Chiyo's voice sounded again. Along with her words, she raised a finger. On her face that hardly changed, her emotions could not be seen.
"First point."
"Currently, Iwagakure is so powerful that Konohagakure can't stand it at all."
"The intelligence has also been said."
"When it gets dark, Iwagakure might be able to enter Konohagakure."
"But I don't think that Iwagakure has the ability to destroy Konohagakure."
"We are all people who have experienced war."
"We all understand this principle."
"It is easy to win the war."
"It is very difficult to destroy the enemy!"
"Iwagakure ninja army is not rushing to defeat Konohagakure!"
"What they want is benefits!"
"When they are able to obtain the spoils of war that they are satisfied with..."
"Then they will stop!"
"If we can reach Konohagakure before Iwagakure stops, then we can also get a share of the spoils. But if the peace agreement is reached, Konohagakure might not have anything left!"
"Most importantly..."
"When that time comes..."
"After Iwagakure's energy has recovered, it is already impossible for us to attack Konohagakure on a large scale. We must be cautious of Iwagakure and avoid repeating Konohagakure's mistakes!"
Chiyo said one sentence after another. She quickly analyzed the pros and cons of this matter. At least for now, she saw that attacking Konohagakure could gain more benefits.
When the people at the scene heard Chiyo's words, they also nodded. They all understood Chiyo's meaning.
"From the perspective of profit..."
"The current Konohagakure is already on the verge of defeat."
"We don't need to pay any price to obtain benefits that are no less than Iwagakure's."
"After all, what the clear-headed Third Hokage's thinking about now is to calm things down!"
"As long as we don't push it too hard..."
"We will be able to obtain generous benefits!"
"This portion of benefits will definitely be far above the benefits that we can obtain by attacking Iwagakure!"
Chiyo added. Her words still caused everyone to nod their heads. After all, she was analyzing the profit.
Everything in the world revolves around profit!
The ninja world was the same!
The reason why ninjas had missions to do was because of the commissions constantly issued by the big countries. And those commissions, protection or assassination, were all done because of "money".
The operation of the village also needed money.
At the moment, Sunagakure was currently in the third generation and did not have the technology to obtain sand gold. In Five Major Ninja Village, Sunagakure was still a relatively poor village.
To make the village stronger, the first thing to do was to make the village rich. Plundering was a very convenient shortcut.
All of a sudden.
Everyone had no objections.
"The second point."
Chiyo raised her second finger and began to talk about the next point she wanted to express. However, even if she did not say it, everyone understood in their hearts that they should attack Konohagakure first.
"Now, if we sneak attack Iwagakure, the one who will benefit the most is not us, but Konohagakure. We are equivalent to helping Konohagakure."
"This kind of help will not let us get any benefits. Instead, we will completely break up with Iwagakure."
"If we are confident that we can directly destroy Iwagakure with this punch, then we can consider it!"
"But who can guarantee that?"
"Once Iwagakure recovers, then we will become the enemy of Iwagakure!"
"We did not get any benefits."
"Instead we got a formidable enemy."
"Doing this will not benefit our Sunagakure's development at all!"
Chiyo's voice was sonorous and forceful, revealing an unquestionable determination. Almost everyone who heard it clearly understood the reasoning behind this, and the words directly left everyone speechless.
The Third Kazekage nodded continuously.
Worthy of being the Advisor Chiyo.
He originally thought that this question would need to be discussed by everyone before he could come to a final conclusion, but unexpectedly, there was already a result.
At this time.
Chiyo put away the two fingers.
Her eyes flashed with coldness.
"To sum it up."
"From the perspective of gaining benefits."
"Or from the perspective of Sunagakure's future development."
"Attacking Konohagakure is the best choice!"
"I don't think there is a need to hesitate about such a thing!"
"We should immediately form a ninja army and attack Konohagakure. It would be best if we can reach Konohagakure before the Iwagakure ninja army does!"
When Chiyo said these words, she was indeed thinking about the matter of the village. However, the face of Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo, appeared in her mind at this point.
It was finally time to pay off his debts!
"It's decided then!"
The Third Kazekage immediately slapped the table, his eyes no longer hesitating.
"Attack Konohagakure!"
