Chapter 417: Is the Cloud Ninja Village After the Dried Fish?
"no."
Seeing that Chiyo misunderstood what he meant, the Third Kazekage explained: "What I want to say is... What is the purpose of the Cloud Ninja Village?"
As we all know, except for some special circumstances, wars are mostly motivated by interests.
It's like the Sand Ninja Village started a war. Why?
Isn’t it just for the rich resources of the Fire Country?
Occupying the rich land of the Fire Country and using the Fire Country's rich resources to support the Sand Ninja Village is like a snowball that is getting bigger and bigger.
Although the war failed, the purpose of Sand Ninja Village has always been clear, which is to go for the resources of the Country of Fire.
But what about Cloud Ninja Village?
Why did they start the war? What resources did the Mist Ninja Village have that made it worthwhile for them to start the war?
It's not like we're trying to grab the small fish from the Mist Ninja Village.
The geographical environment of other people's Mist Ninja Village is special. It is shrouded in dense fog all year round. The environment of the entire country is humid. It is not easy to dry small fish. Your Yun Ninja Village does not need to be so aggressive.
Guarding such a large sea, if you want small fish, you can catch it yourself.
"This..." Chiyo was stunned for a moment.
Yes, what is the plan for Yun Ninja Village?
Does Mist Ninja Village have the resources they need?
If not, what is the point of this war?
There is no need to compete for sea routes. Although Yun Ninja Village does not occupy as many shipping routes as Mist Ninja Village, the commercial economy of Yun Ninja Village is at least ten blocks ahead of Mist Ninja Village. There is no need to fight for these.
You can't really do it for the little fish?
It’s not that the Third Kazekage and Chiyo like to think blindly, but the specialty of Kiri Ninja Village is always reminiscent of dried fish.
Just like the various trees in Konoha, the sand in Sand Ninja Village, the plateau beef and specialty wine in Cloud Ninja Village, the best-selling and well-known thing in Kiri Ninja Village in the ninja world is dried small fish...
The Third Kazekage raised his hand, rubbed his stubble-covered chin with his fingers, and said suspiciously:
"In launching a war, when there is no profit to be gained, both sides should take the initiative. The problem is that Yagura of the Mist Ninja Village has just become the Mizukage, so he won't start a war secretly, right?"
How stupid must one be to start a war as soon as he becomes the leader of the village.
I want to highlight a guy named Luo Sha here, because that's what he did.
The result was that just like his teacher, he was severely beaten by Konoha, ran back to Suna Ninja Village in despair, and became half of Konoha's little brother again.
"Unless Yagura wants to clean up some people and forces in the village." Chiyo also realized that things would not be that simple.
This war must not only be promoted by the Cloud Ninja Village, there should also be movement in the Kiri Ninja Village, which means that everyone is rushing towards the war, but it would be too strange for Yagura to start a war just after he became the Mizukage. It's only right to have a purpose. The purpose of battlefield warfare is to eliminate people or forces that threaten you.
"Most likely."
The Third Kazekage thought Chiyo's words made sense.
Because of the special geographical location, even if a war breaks out, the scale of the war between Cloud Ninja Village and Mist Ninja Village will be limited. Mist Ninja Village will find it difficult to send a large number of ninjas to attack Cloud Ninja Village. The same is true for Cloud Ninja Village. .
On land, the most important thing is to extend the front line a little bit to test the logistics, but on the vast sea, extending the front line is not a test of logistics, but it is really embarrassing.
And ninjas must rely on ships to fight.
When fighting, you can fight on the water, and you can walk on the water for short distances, but in a vast ocean, how many people can walk on the water to the other side?
If they really do this, most of the ninja army may be drowned halfway before they reach their destination.
This is also one of the reasons why Yagura is confident, because he knows very well that the geographical location of the Water Country limits the enemy's military strength, making it difficult for the Cloud Ninja Village to directly attack the Water Country itself.
The forces available to both sides will be limited to a certain number.
Transporting troops and supplies is a big trouble.
"With both sides unable to send too many people, the threat from Iwa Ninja Village to Cloud Ninja Village is greater than that from Kirito Ninja Village." The Third Kazekage took out a map of the ninja world and observed the map carefully.
Compared to the Kiri Ninja Village, the Iwa Ninja Village wanted to attack the Cloud Ninja Village. They could go by sea or by land.
Considering that there are not many ships in Iwa Ninja Village, it is more likely to attack from land.
"Chiyo, do you think Onoki will start a war against Kumo Ninja Village?"
The Third Kazekage suddenly asked this question.
Chiyo was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said:
"meeting!!!"
She knew Onoki very well. Onoki's hatred for the Cloud Ninja Village had reached an extreme level. As long as he was given a chance, he would definitely start a war.
"Hehehe..."
Hearing this, the Third Kazekage suddenly laughed: "It seems that the recovery speed of the village has increased a lot."
Onoki will launch a war, which means that the Third Raikage needs to spend a large amount of money and resources to support Konoha and Suna Ninja Village, so that they can send a ninja force to stop Iwa Ninja Village, and do not seek to kill Iwa Ninja Village. To hold it back, at least hold back part of the Iwa Ninja Village's troops.
Furthermore, with allies behind them, Yun Ninja Village would not fall into a two-sided battle that would become increasingly difficult.
Although the Third Raikage is arrogant and confident in himself and the Cloud Ninja Village, he is not stupid and will definitely take advantage of it if he can.
Therefore, the choice between Konoha and Sand Ninja Village becomes particularly critical.
Konoha is okay, it is an open ally of the Cloud Village, while the Sand Village is not, so the Cloud Village needs to pay a big price to get them to send reinforcements.
There is a saying that goes, the monarch of the monarch is not my monarch, and by the same token, the ally of the ally may not be my ally.
Konoha is an ally of the Cloud Village, but not of the Sand Village.
The Sand Village is just a half-alliance of Konoha.
This relationship is actually not solid, not as good as the alliance with the Cloud Village.
"What if the Rock Village also wins over us?"
Chiyo was a little curious, would Ohnoki win them over in advance.
The Third Kazekage shook his head and said, "No, Ohnoki, this stubborn old man, will not change his mind easily, not to mention that the situation of the Rock Village is not much better than ours."
With the terrible finances of the Rock Village, you still want to win them over?
Dreaming.
Only the Cloud Village has the courage to do this.
Ohnoki should have a meeting with Yagura, and the Mist Village is the best target to win over.
The Third Kazekage was right. Yagura and Ohnoki did meet. The difference was that last time it was Ohnoki who took the initiative, but this time it was in the Mist Village.
It was still the same place, and the same time.
It was just that Ohnoki came a little late this time. He did it on purpose, deliberately making Yagura wait for him for a while.
