The root cause of the outbreak of the Second and Third Ninja World War was precisely because of the economic imbalance among the five major Ninja Nations. In Danzo Shimura's view, the economic contradiction between the Country of Wind and the Leaf Village had reached an irreconcilable level.

The Sunagakure Village, whose economy is overly dependent on the price of gold, has reached a critical juncture of life and death due to the depreciation of gold. The national economy is on the verge of collapse. The only choices left for the Sunagakure ninjas are to sit back and wait for death and starve to death, or to angrily attack Konoha. road.

If it continues to drag on, Konoha will become stronger and stronger, Sandgakure will become weaker and weaker, and the gap will further widen, and there will be no chance anymore.

This is probably the fundamental reason why Sunagakure Village is willing to accept Orochimaru's deception. However, Orochimaru is suspicious by nature and too controlling. He assassinated the Kazekage in a superfluous manner and pretended to be himself. In vain, he killed himself and gave reinforcements to the Sand Hidden Ninjas. They create excuses to shirk responsibility.

"This time Sunagakure Village took the initiative to attack Konoha and suffered a disastrous failure. Most of the elite ninjas who participated in the attack were captured. The only ones left in the village were the old, weak, sick and disabled. This is a good opportunity to completely destroy Sunagakure Village!"

Shimura Danzo raised his head and said: "By then, by bringing the Kingdom of Wind under the protection of Konoha Village and establishing the Konoha sub-village fortress on the original site of Sunagakure Village, our sphere of influence can be doubled. At the same time, there is no need to worry about Sunagakure's betrayal again. They stabbed us in the back."

Mito Kadoyan frowned and said: "The centipede insect is dead but not stiff. Although the elite ninjas of Sand Hidden are captured, there are still a large number of large-scale ninja tools in the village, and the puppet army also retains its full strength. We, Konoha, have risen a lot recently. There are few outstanding newcomers, but the number of ninjas is still too small to form a crusade. Even if we can capture Sunagakure Village by then, it will be too difficult to occupy it for a long time. Once we withdraw, Sunagakure will resurrect and even hate Konoha even more. "

In the original plot, four years later, in the sixty-fourth year of Konoha, the Fourth Ninja War broke out. The five major ninja villages joined forces with the surrounding small ninja villages to form an 80,000 ninja coalition. Konoha Village contributed fifteen thousand to Twenty thousand ninjas.

This number is a bit unrealistic. Based on the number of ninjas in Konoha Village, there are only a few thousand active ninjas alive.

Today's Konoha has not even had four years of development to form a crusade army of 5,000 people, but it has already exhausted all its military strength.

To train a genin, it takes at least six years in a ninja school. This is one of the important reasons why the number of ninja armies is limited. During the Fourth Ninja War, Akatsuki organized an army to use one hundred thousand White Zetsu and the dead reincarnated dead to piece together the genin. , precisely because the training cycle for ninjas is too long, it is impossible to quickly build an army.

With a Kage-level warrior as the vanguard, it is not difficult for the Konoha ninja army to capture Sunagakure Village. The difficulty lies in how to effectively occupy and rule it. Even the superpowers are unwilling to face the protracted security war.

Shadow-level experts are human beings, and they also have to eat, drink, and relieve themselves. They cannot be on call 24 hours a day. They are busy fighting fires all day long. The country of wind has a vast territory, and most of the country is desert terrain. It is difficult to obtain supplies. It is very suitable for the local Sand Hidden. The guerrillas and the occupying forces were playing hide and seek, and forced occupation would bring down Konoha.

What Mito Kadoen said made sense. Shimura Danzo was so refuted that he bowed his head and remained silent. After a while, he whispered darkly: "Then massacre and kill all the Sunagakure clan! If all the ninjas in the Land of Wind die, There would be no resisters."

After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly looked gloomy and said in a cold voice: "Sixty years after the First Ninja War, after the one village, one country structure was formed, there has never been a tragedy in which the whole clan of a great ninja village was wiped out. , if we in Konoha do this to Sunagakure, what will the other three major ninja villages think? Don’t they understand the truth that the rabbit dies and the fox grieves, and the lips die and the teeth are cold? Do you want to trigger the Fourth Ninja War? "

This time, Shimura Danzo was completely silent.

Judging from the current situation, although Konoha has many strong men, its military strength is weak. It is okay to deal with Sunagakure Village, but if the four major ninja villages join forces to form a ninja coalition, the strength will be at least several times that of Konoha.

Many great ninja villages also have the ultimate killer weapon, and they can be used unscrupulously when forced into desperate situations. Even if there are ten Kage-level people in Konoha, they may not be able to resist it and protect the villagers.

Just like Raigakure Village has a chakra cannon that blows up the moon with one blow, Kirigakure Village has battleships sailing on the sea, Iwagakure Village Tsuchikage Onoki sneaks into Konoha and uses the original realm peeling technique to carry out terrorist attacks, and Konoha To turn into powder.

So what if Konoha has ten Kages?

The Great Ninja World War has begun. Even if a tragic victory is achieved in the end and all the villagers in Konoha die, leaving only these ten people is meaningless.

Besides, there are five immature young people among the ten Kage-levels. They have experienced cruel wars and killed people until they became weak. There is no guarantee that they will have some kind of psychological problems. It is relatively easy to get tired of the war and leave Konoha. betrayal in battle. It is possible to attack Konoha in turn.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a scroll, unfolded it and said: "The consultant of Sunagakure Village, Ebizo, has arrived in Konoha and submitted a 'letter of surrender' to us. Sunagakure Village promised to compensate Konoha for its losses, and agreed with Konoha Ye signed a permanent covenant and promised never to use weapons against Konoha in the future."

"Ebizo has been known for his scheming in all the ninja wars. This letter of surrender is just a piece of waste paper!"

Shimura Danzo glanced at the terms of the surrender letter and sneered: "You have the nerve to shamelessly ask us to release the prisoners for a small amount of compensation. Do you really think we are fools? Even if we don't form a crusade to annihilate Sunagakure, we still have to Let them pay the price for betraying Konoha, I recommend executing all Sunagakure prisoners, leaving no one behind!"

"Is that any different from the annihilation of Sunagakure Village? All the Sunagakure elites are lost in Konoha. Without us taking action, the shinobi villages in the surrounding small countries can join forces to destroy Sunagakure."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said: "In the eyes of the other three great ninja villages, Sunagakure will still perish at the hands of our Konoha! Even if Sunagakure withstood the siege of the small country, this disaster would have deeply affected everyone from ninjas to the people. , how deep will the hatred towards us be, and what use do we need such allies?”

"The destruction of a ninja village will break the one-village-one-country ninja world pattern. Once the one-village-one-country pattern is broken, there will be great turmoil and even all-out war. Our economy has just begun to pick up. As long as peaceful development can To build an ideal country, why risk war?”

Taking a puff of cigarette, Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly: "Only a strong country has the right to be kind. Now that the strength of Konoha is obvious to all the ninja world, I believe they don't dare to think of aggression. We should use gentle methods. Not only Pardon the prisoners of Sunagakure, but also provide financial assistance to Sunagakure, support Sunagakure Village, and let them live a better life than before selling sand gold. In this way, the covenant relationship between Sunagakure Village and us will be stable, and we will both We received strong support and also appeased other ninja villages."

Shimura Danzo remained silent, seemingly acquiescing to Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, but it could be seen from the twinkling eyes that he definitely had different thoughts.

However, the representatives of the major ninja clans and the elite jounin quite agreed with Sarutobi Hiruzen's proposal and raised their hands to reconsider.

The ninja world has experienced three wars, and all the ninja clans in Konoha have been severely damaged. Now Konoha's economy is prosperous, and there are ten shadow-level strongmen sitting in charge. As long as they develop peacefully, they can surpass other ninja villages. It seems that they have a chance to win, and the situation is great. Great, no one wants to take the risk of war, and the vision of peace is the mainstream of public opinion in Konoha.

This is just like the Eagle Country in the real world. If there were no incidents like "Pearl Harbor" to incite others, the majority of people would still support anti-war.

…

The vast majority of the elite jounin and advisory group supported Sarutobi Hiruzen's "pardon and alliance" proposal. The resolution was quickly passed. Sunagakure Village paid compensation and signed an alliance agreement, and the captured prisoners of war could be released. Konoha The village will provide long-lasting financial assistance to Sunagakure, and the two villages of Mushi and Sand will establish a closer covenant relationship in the future.

Sarutobi Hiruzen used peaceful means to resolve the imminent Kisa war. He couldn't help but feel in a good mood. He returned to the Hokage's office from the conference room, sat at his desk and smoked a pipe, wanting to relax.

An ANBU ninja walked into the office through the door, came to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and whispered: "After the meeting, Shimura Danzo went directly to Konoha Scientific Ninja Tool Research and Development Center!"

The good mood disappeared in an instant. Sarutobi Hiruzen's face sank and he slammed his pipe on the desk.
