Just a few days after the meeting between Aizen and Onoki.
A shocking piece of news once again fell into the Shinobi world, causing an uproar.
Sanin actually used the disappearance of the Sandaime Wind Shadow as an excuse to declare war against Wood Leaf, forcing Wood Leaf to hand over the whereabouts of the Sandaime Wind Shadow.
Without a doubt, Wood Leaf wouldn't agree with such a ridiculous statement, and even the other major countries wouldn't agree with such a rash approach.
However, for some reason, the rest of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water didn't express their views on this matter, as if they were going to sit on the sidelines, acquiescing to Sanin's actions.
What really increased the pressure on Wood Leaf was that Iwagakure, who had been eyeing him since the last war, actually declared their full support for Sanin's actions.
Forcing Wood Leaf to hand over the whereabouts of the Sandaime Wind Shadow.
Although Sanin brought out a series of evidence pointing to Wood Leaf after the disappearance of the Sandaime Wind Shadow, everyone knew that it was just an excuse.
No one cared about the authenticity of the evidence. Since Sanin already planned to use the disappearance of the Wind Shadow against Wood Leaf, even if they refuted the evidence, it would be futile.
At this time, the only thing Wood Leaf could do was to use a strong stance to dispel the collusion between Sanin and Iwagakure.
Land of Fire, Wood Leaf Village.
"Boom!"
A heavy sound of table slamming came from the Hokage Building located in the center of Wood Leaf Village.
"This is outrageous!"
"How dare they threaten Wood Leaf with something that didn't exist!"
"Sanin and Iwagakure are really greedy. Even through this letter, I can feel their greed!"
Inside the office, Homura Mitokado was wearing a pair of glasses. His face was filled with anger as he held a letter in his hand.
Hearing his words, Koharu's face showed a trace of worry. She looked at Sandaime who was standing by the window and smoking his pipe and whispered.
"Sandaime, what do you think about the list of compensation submitted by Sanin and Iwagakure?"
In this regard, the Third Hokage exhaled a mouthful of thick smoke, his turbid eyes looked out of the window through the thick smoke, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and said in a deep voice.
"Their demands are nothing more than forcing Wood Leaf to start a war with them."
Speaking of this, his gaze fell on the stable village streets outside the window. His eyes sank again as he said in a deep voice.
"For Wood Leaf, a stable and peaceful life is hard to come by … But!
This is definitely not an excuse for Wood Leaf to retreat! "
"If they want to start the Third Shinobi World War, then Wood Leaf will not let them do whatever they want!"
"Tell them that Wood Leaf will not accept any threat from any force. Even if they want to start a war, Wood Leaf will stick to this bottom line!"
Hearing Sandaime's words, Mitokado Homura and Koharu Koharu nodded solemnly.
"We understand!"
But when she said this, Koharu hesitated. Seeing her expression, Sandaime asked with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"Do you have anything to say, Koharu?"
Hearing Sandaime's words, Koharu calmed down and said hesitantly.
"Sandaime, this time, Wind Shadow's disappearance is really suspicious. Do you think … After this, is there any sign of Yuusuke Fuji?"
As soon as Koharu's words came out, Sandaime and Homura's eyes narrowed. Sandaime took a deep breath and said with a complicated voice.
"You know what that child is thinking. He wants to be the enemy of the entire Shinobi World and destroy the Shinobi Era. This kind of thinking is really dangerous …"
"So, whether this matter has anything to do with that child or not, we must be fully prepared …"
"Because, when the war comes, it may be the soil for that child to rise."
Hearing Sandaime's words, Utatane Utatane and Homura Mitokado's eyes revealed an extremely dignified look.
"Understood, we will be prepared for everything."
In this regard, Sandaime nodded gently, and his cloudy eyes slowly glanced at a photo placed on the table.
In the photo, four very young children were grinning under the bright sun.
From left to right, they were Aizen, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochi Maru.
At that time, Aizen was wearing thick glasses, with a gentle and humble smile on his face, standing quietly on the side.
Beside him, Jiraiya had a very forced smile on his face, because Tsunade was pinching his arm and smiling happily.
And for some reason, Orochimaru, who was on the far right, showed a slight smile on his cold face.
The Sandaime looked at the photo with nostalgia in his eyes, and his expression was very complicated. Unknowingly, the four children have grown up and become excellent ninjas.
However, perhaps because of the wrong decision he had made, it led Naosuke Uchiha to go on the wrong path.
The friendship between the four of them fell apart because of this …
Thinking of this, Sarutobi's cloudy eyes flashed with a touch of guilt, and he felt sorry.
If he had guided that child on the right path … I'm afraid everything would have been different …
.....
At the same time.
In the yellow sand filled Sanin, a group of Sanin leaders gathered together, with an anxious look on their faces, they were discussing something.
At this time, a ninja suddenly came out of the meeting room, and seeing him, the eyes of the Sanin present lit up.
"How is it, Captain Chi Dong, does Chiyo -sama still insist on her decision!?" A Sanin hurriedly asked.
Hearing his question, Chi Dong's face was heavy, and he gently nodded.
Seeing this scene, the rest of the Sanin looked gloomy and murmured.
"At this critical time, how could Chiyo -sama make such a decision … Without Chiyo -sama, I'm afraid the cooperation with the Rock …" A Sanin slammed the wall and said angrily.
Hearing his words, the ninja on the side quickly persuaded him.
"Onoki!
Don't be disrespectful to Chiyo -sama, Chiyo -sama must have a reason to do this! "
In response, Chi Dong, who had a solemn expression, glanced over and slowly spoke in a deep voice.
"Sanji is right, Chiyo -sama's grandson Sasori … is also missing …"
"So … at this time, Chiyo -sama is disheartened …"
When they heard Chi Dong's words, everyone present was stunned and exclaimed in shock.
"How is this possible!?"
"Is it the same guy who caused Wind Shadow -sama's disappearance!?
Damn it!! "
Just when everyone was angry, the door of the meeting room opened again, and everyone was stunned, they saw Hai Lao Zang's figure coming out.
Hai Lao Zang's brows were slightly wrinkled, his long eyebrows covered his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
He slowly said with a hoarse voice.
"Come in, there are some things I need to announce to you."
In this regard, everyone present was stunned, and then walked into the meeting room uneasily.
On the other hand, a bright light flashed in the eyes of Chi Dong, who had been wearing a heavy expression since the beginning.
Walking into the meeting room, everyone saw Chiyo -sama with a very old face, at this time, her eyes were dim, as if she had lost her soul.
Hai Lao Zang patted her gently, and she noticed the high-level Sanin coming in.
But at this time, she was very sad, and she didn't say anything. After everyone was seated, she slowly said with a hoarse voice.
"I'm sure everyone here already knows that my grandson, Xie, has also gone missing in this incident …"
When she said this, she stopped talking, was silent for a while, and then continued under everyone's worried eyes.
"Old woman, almost all of my family members have been sacrificed in the battle of the Shinobi Village, for me, I can no longer contribute any extra energy to the village …"
"So, I choose to withdraw from the battle of the Shinobi World."
As soon as her words fell, the other high-level Sanin tried to persuade her to stay, even if it's for the sake of Sanin's present.
But Chiyo just waved her hand, and said with a lonely voice.
"It's enough … It's enough … I don't want to see any more war … You don't need to persuade me anymore …"
After saying this, she looked at the table in a daze, no longer talking, and sat quietly.
When Old Sea Bog saw this scene, he quickly took over the conversation and said with a hoarse voice.
"Ne-sama has made her choice, I hope everyone will stop persuading her."
"I have discussed with Ne-sama, regarding this war between Sanin and the Rock, I will stay as a Hokage consultant for the last period, and after the war is over, I will retire with Ne-sama."
Hearing Hai Lao Zang's words, everyone was slightly shocked, and they couldn't believe it.
Two experienced Sanin seniors actually chose to retire, is this the beginning of Sanin's decline!?
"Hai Lao Zang -sama, you are qualified to stay as Wind Shadow, please stay, even if it's for Sanin, I beg you!"
Sanin suddenly said respectfully.
Hearing his words, Sanin on the side also agreed, and they all begged Hai Lao Zang to stay as Wind Shadow.
In this regard, Hai Lao Zang gently waved his hand and said softly.
"I don't have so much energy to face the next cruel war, and now it's your generation, so I hope you can show the glory of Sanin."
When he said this, he slowly looked at Chi Dong who was at the side.
Sanin on the side also noticed Hai Lao Zang's gaze and looked at Chiyo.
Hai Lao Zang looked at Chiyo and said softly.
"This old man has elected Chi Dong as the Fourth Kazekage, and I also expect that under Chi Dong's leadership, Sunagakure can achieve great victory in the next battle."
Hearing his words, everyone was stunned, and they all looked at Chiyo.
Chiyo, on the other hand, showed a look of fear and quickly said.
"Hai Lao Zang -sama, how can you … No … I don't have that kind of qualification …"
At this moment, some of the more quick-witted people reacted instantly. For example, Gui Li Zhong and Sha Ji. They quickly spoke up.
"Chiyo -san's qualification is definitely enough!
After all, everyone has seen Big Brother Chi Dong's contributions! "
"Yes, and it was you who led us to find the Kazekage sama. You also made a great contribution to the negotiations with the Rock, so don't decline. I believe that under your leadership, we will be able to work together in the coming war!"
Hearing the words of these two, the rest of Sanin reacted, and they secretly thought that these two guys reacted quickly, and they could see the pros and cons in a short time.
After all, Chiyo was the person who saved Chiyo's grandson, and even had a very good friendship with Hai Lao Zang -sama, so he was naturally the best choice for Wind Shadow at this time.
So a group of Sanin executives at this time expressed their full support for Chiyo to become Wind Shadow.
Seeing that everyone agreed to choose Chiyo as Wind Shadow, Hai Lao Zang also nodded with relief, and then looked at Chiyo.
Seeing this, Chiyo helplessly showed a wry smile, and then nodded helplessly, indicating that he agreed to become Wind Shadow.
A firm look flashed in his eyes, and he looked at everyone with a firm expression, and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, I will live up to everyone's expectations!"
Although he said so, he secretly said in his heart.
Aizen -sama … The plan is going well …
I won't let you down ….
