"Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, a ninja from Iwagakure, dressed in the standard Iwagakure uniform, walked in and knelt on one knee in front of the desk to report:

"Greetings, Lord Tsuchikage. This is an emergency encrypted scroll from Konoha that the intelligence department has just collected."

As he spoke, the Hidden Stone Man took out a scroll from his robes and presented it with both hands.

Seeing this, Huang Tu stepped forward and took the scroll, then handed it to Onoki.

Onoki didn't rush to untie the scroll immediately, but first said to the Iwagakure member:

"Alright, you can go now. Any further information about Konoha should be sent to me immediately."

"Yes!"

After responding, Iwagakure got up and left, making sure to close the door to the Tsuchikage's office before leaving.

Only then did Onoki place the scroll on the table, quickly forming several hand seals, and utter a low shout:

"untie!"

Instantly, dense black cipher text appeared on the scroll, but it all collapsed the next second.

Onoki was not surprised by this; it was precisely Iwagakure's encryption method.

If the scroll is opened rashly without forming the corresponding hand seals, the information inside will not only be automatically destroyed, but it will also trigger an explosion with the power of a detonating tag.

After decrypting, Onoki immediately opened the scroll to take a look.

The yellow earth beside them also poked its head out to look.

After reading the contents of the scroll, both father and son had the same shocked expression.

What the hell? Konoha got attacked by tailed beasts again?! Two of them?!

Onoki blinked in bewilderment, then carefully looked at it again from the beginning.

According to the information on the scroll, during the Chunin Exams, the people of Sunagakure secretly brought the One-Tailed Jinchuriki to Konoha.

Just two days ago, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki suddenly went berserk in the heart of Konoha.

Meanwhile, the Nine-Tails, which is under the control of Konoha, suddenly went berserk for some unknown reason.

Caught off guard, Konoha suffered heavy losses, with not only a large number of ninjas killed, but also countless civilians killed or injured.

In the end, it was the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who, together with his disciple Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, suppressed the two tailed beasts.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sacrificed his own life to perform a sealing technique that resealed the two tailed beasts.

When Onoki saw this, he burst out laughing.

"Good, good riddance! That old monkey Hiruzen Sarutobi, even with his legs gone, still had the audacity to try and take back his position."

Now he's finally gotten his wish to die as Hokage, he deserves it.

And then there's Sunagakure. That brat Rasa finally showed some backbone and let out a loud fart.

I thought he was going to spend his whole life as a miner in the desert, in his Wind Shadow form.

He at least had some backbone and didn't continue licking Konoha's toes.

As for Orochimaru, heh heh, that damned monkey really taught a good disciple!

I humbly beg all my esteemed readers to give me more flowers and monthly tickets, and I desperately request that you urge me to update more frequently and provide rewards. I would be eternally grateful.

Chapter 155 The Land of Earth Deploys Troops, Rasa's Dilemma!

Onoki was happier than if he had found money on the street in broad daylight.

From its inception, Konoha has occupied the best location. Relying on the favorable natural environment of the Land of Fire, Konoha Village has a developed economy and a dense population.

In earlier years, it was home to many powerful ninja clans, led by the Senju and Uchiha clans, and generation after generation of geniuses who were famous throughout the ninja world rose to prominence.

Afterwards, through three Shinobi World Wars, it completely established its reputation as the number one ninja village in the Konoha ninja world.

Onoki originally thought he wouldn't see the decline of Konoha and the rise of Iwagakure before he died.

But little did they know that Konoha had been playing a truly elaborate game for the past few decades.

Let's not even talk about Sakumo Hatake, who committed suicide in his early years, or the three legendary ninja who subsequently left or defected.

However, in the last ten years or so, Konoha has suffered several major blows.

First came the Nine-Tails' rampage, in which the brilliant Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was killed, and Konoha suffered heavy losses due to the Nine-Tails.

Later, the Uchiha clan was wiped out by their own people, and Konoha lost a major fighting force.

The two previous excellent opportunities were not seized by Iwagakure because they were still recovering from the shadow of the Third Shinobi World War and were wary of the barbarians from the neighboring Land of Lightning.

This time, Konoha suffered another heavy blow. Not only did that old man Hiruzen Sarutobi die, but the village also suffered heavy losses, from civilians to ninjas.

After more than ten years of recuperation, Iwagakure has recovered and is now at the perfect time to strike.

Iwagakure is absolutely determined to get their hands on Konoha, this lucrative prize.

However, there was another thing that made Onoki very angry.

"That damn Raikage brat has already made his move."

Konoha is currently in chaos. If they're lucky, the Cloud Ninja might be able to break through the Land of Fire's defenses and advance straight to Konoha.

"Then we in Iwagakure won't even have a sip of soup!"

Hearing his father's analysis, Huang Tu, who had also read the intelligence and felt this was a great opportunity, hurriedly said anxiously:

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's convene a high-level meeting now to discuss the deployment of troops."

Onoki nodded in agreement, but that wasn't enough.

"It will be evening after the meeting, so I will convene a meeting to inform the elders of this matter."

Huang Tu, you then urgently summoned the squads that hadn't gone on missions in my name.

First, assemble an advance force of 800 men to head towards Konoha, preparing for the arrival of the follow-up troops.

"This... isn't quite in accordance with the rules?" Huang Tu said in a low voice, looking troubled.

Ōnoki, who had floated up from his office chair, glared angrily at the idiot and snapped:

"What's wrong with the rules? Don't forget I am the Tsuchikage! Get out here and carry out orders!"

Huang Tu: "... Yes! Lord Tsuchikage!"

With the order given, Iwagakure immediately began operating efficiently.

Although most ninjas were unaware of what had happened, this did not prevent the Iwagakure, a village known for its strong sense of community and discipline, from quickly entering a state of combat readiness.

At this point, the effects of Iwagakure's early stockpiling of military supplies became apparent. Although it could not yet meet the needs of a prolonged operation, it was more than enough to support the advance force of 800 men.

While Huang Tu was building up his troops, he also sent people to expedite the procurement of supplies such as ninja tools, explosive tags, and soldier rations.

It's believed that before long, as other countries react, prices will inevitably skyrocket.

Therefore, Onoki is already considering personally making a trip to the capital of the Land of Earth to explain the pros and cons to the daimyo and request more funding.

At this moment, he began to envy the barbarians of Yunyin.

Why are they so lucky? The Raikage himself also holds the position of Daimyo, so demanding military funds is just a matter of transferring money from one hand to the other, a simple matter of appropriating funds at will.

At times like these, he would reminisce about the Fourth Raikage, Ai.

Damn it, you little bastard, how could you die so young?

The Hidden Cloud Village is now much more advantageous than the other four major ninja villages.

While Kumogakure and Iwagakure were taking action, Sunagakure could no longer sit idly by.

Compared to the original story, since it wasn't yet time for the third Chunin Exams, Rasa hadn't had a chance to leave Sunagakure.

Therefore, he was extremely lucky to survive and was still able to take charge of the situation in Sunagakure.

But that was all; Gaara's sudden outburst completely disrupted his plans.

Now Sunagakure is in a dilemma, with the First Beast falling into Konoha's hands and the elite Sunagakure forces, led by Maki, being wiped out in Konoha.

Of the three children that Rasa himself sent to Konoha, Gaara and Kankuro were captured alive.

Of the Sand Village members who went to Konoha, only Temari and Pakura disappeared without a trace, though they may have survived.

Currently, Konoha is temporarily unable to hold Sunagakure accountable due to the vacancy of the Hokage position and the damage caused to Konoha by the two tailed beasts.

But Rasa knew that he had really offended Konoha this time. Once Konoha recovered, they would definitely not let Sunagakure off the hook and would make them pay.

What price would Sunagakure have to pay to quell Konoha's anger and redeem Gaara, their important Jinchūriki?

Just as Rasa was agonizing over whether to declare war on Konoha and make a final, desperate stand...

News of the Cloud Village's surprise attack on Konoha reached the Sand Village.

At the Sand Village's Jonin meeting, in front of all the Jonin, as well as the two elders, Chiyo and Ebizo, whom he had specially invited to come out of seclusion to reassure everyone, Rasa slammed his fist on the table and made a firm decision:

"We can't hesitate any longer, we must send troops!!"

With Kumogakure sharing the burden, Sunagakure might just be able to defeat Konoha, which is now severely weakened and exhausted!

Upon hearing this, the Sand Village Jonin were all shaken and secretly worried about the upcoming war. However, thinking that the Sand Village had no way out in any sense, they quickly composed themselves and showed resolute expressions.

Only Elder Chiyo glanced at Rasa calmly and said in a leisurely tone:

"Lord Kazekage, are you really sure? This will put your children in danger."

(Thanks to reader 金风细雨ggg for the many monthly tickets!!! Thank you for your support, godfather, you're awesome!!!) I humbly beg all my esteemed readers to give me more flowers and monthly tickets, and I desperately request that you urge me to update more frequently and provide rewards. I would be eternally grateful.

!

Chiyo's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the heads of the Sand Village members.

Yes, of the Kazekage's three children, apart from the missing Temari, the other two are in Konoha's hands.

Under these circumstances, can the Kazekage really wage war against Konoha without any scruples?

When Luo Sha first heard this, his heart tightened, and he secretly clenched his fist, thinking of his wife who died in childbirth.

But he quickly made up his mind, his gaze resolutely meeting Chiyo's, and he said ruthlessly:

"When I became the Kazekage, I was prepared to give everything for Sunagakure."

Even my child cannot surpass Sunagakure; everything is for the sake of Sunagakure!

Hearing Rasa's resolute words, the Sand Village members all showed admiration and were deeply moved.

For the sake of Sunagakure's "483", the Kazekage actually went to such lengths. He truly lives up to his reputation as their Kazekage!

Even Chiyo showed a relieved expression after gazing at Rasa for a long time.

"Rasa, it was definitely the right decision to support you as the Fourth Kazekage."

"Go ahead and do it. Even though I'm an old woman, I can still do something for Sunagakure."

Ebizo echoed Chiyo's sentiments, saying, "And Konoha might not even dare to kill Kankuro and Gaara."

After all, he is the son of the Kazekage and an important Jinchūriki; imprisoning him and using him as a crucial bargaining chip is the wisest choice.

The other Jonin then chimed in in agreement.

"That's right, once we defeat Konoha, we won't be afraid that Konoha won't hand over Kankuro and Gaara!"

"Yes, the Kazekage is willing to make such a sacrifice for Sunagakure, and we cannot let him down."

We must absolutely defeat Konoha and reclaim our two young masters from them as victors!

Seeing the group of Sand Village high-ranking officials and Jonin who voiced their support for him, Rasa was also moved and immediately stood up to make a promise:

"Thank you for your support, elders and everyone. I, Rasa, swear to you that I will never prioritize personal feelings, but only the interests of Sunagakure!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Sand Village members stood up and responded loudly.

"For the sake of Sunagakure, Lord Ryokage! Let the war begin!!"

"Go to war? What a load of rubbish! With the Mizukage missing, what are we going to use to fight Konoha!"
