Chapter 426: The Three Shadows' Battle Plan

Sunagakure, Wind Shadow Office.

"Did the Tsuchikage invite me to join them in jointly opposing Konoha?"

Second Generation Wind Shadow Shaman had a strange expression.

Are these guys still not awake, truly thinking they can beat Konoha?

Previously, the three major ninja villages couldn't seize Rain Hidden Village at first.

Now still foolishly dreaming of defeating Konoha, it's as if they've swallowed a bear's heart and a leopard's gall.

He is very clear about Sunagakure's overall combat power.

It would never be a match for Konoha.

Even if the Four Great Ninja Villages unite, the chance of victory is less than fifty percent.

If the Tsuchikage invites him to jointly oppose the other two ninja villages, he would absolutely accept without hesitation.

As for Konoha?

Better to leave it at that.

Sunagakure is already poor enough; another defeat would leave them eating dirt.

However, the approach of Rain Hidden Village leader Banzang reminded him.

If Sunagakure can forge an alliance with Konoha Village.

Then they could join the war and win effortlessly, openly.

Then, as the victorious nation, they would divide the defeated nation's resources.

Tsk tsk, I'm literally a genius!

Second Generation Wind Shadow Shaman grew more excited as he thought, and hurried to draft an alliance document to Konoha.

Since Konoha can agree to Rain Hidden Village, it can certainly agree to Sunagakure as well.

After all, Sunagakure is one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, and its overall strength surpasses Rain Hidden by an unknown margin.

He immediately sent someone to deliver the alliance document to Konoha.

"Hehe, Tsuchikage, don't blame me."

Sha Men tore up the alliance document that Da Ye Mu had previously sent and then threw it into the trash can.

If you want to blame someone, blame them for having nothing better than to attack Konoha?

Although Konoha troops entered Rain Country, that is not their reason for attacking!

As long as they latch onto Konoha's massive thigh, they can obtain abundant resources after winning the war.

Tsk tsk, just thinking about it gets me excited!

Konoha Village, Hokage Office.

"Sunagakure wants to ally with Konoha?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang's expression was odd as he looked at the alliance document presented by his subordinate.

These villages, why do they want to ally with Konoha every day?

Yesterday Rain Hidden Village, today Sunagakure…

Do they really think Konoha will accept anyone?

Every cat and dog wants to cling to Konoha's thigh.

Tuan Cang had long guessed Wind Shadow's ulterior motives clearly.

It's nothing more than wanting a share of the war spoils.

Worried they couldn't achieve final victory, they turned to the strongest Konoha.

The idea of winning effortlessly.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang naturally would not agree to ally with such a win‑by‑lying dog.

He merely gave a casual glance, then tossed the alliance document into the trash can.

He didn't even bother to give any response.

At this moment, the Wind Shadow Sha Men far away in Sunagakure still didn't know about this.

He was happily imagining the resources the village could gain after a victorious war…

Unfortunately, he thought too optimistically.

Rain Country, Frontline Battlefield.

Since Konoha allied with Rain Hidden Village, the already powerful Konoha became even stronger.

Salamander Banzang, the Salamander leader, personally went to the frontline to provide support.

The powerful poison mist made ninjas from various nations cry out in distress.

Especially the Cloud Hidden Village ninjas, who seemed to recall the fear of once being dominated by Lian Ye.

No, from another perspective, Banzang is more terrifying than Lian Ye.

The powerful Cloud Hidden Village ninjas Lian Ye killed back then didn't cause much harm to ordinary Cloud Hidden ninjas.

But Salamander Banzang is different.

His poison mist is a large‑scale area‑damage skill, and the threat to average‑strength ninjas is undoubtedly lethal!

Within just one day, countless ninjas were poisoned and lost mobility.

In response, the Shadow Qi of the three villages jumped with anger.

If not for the support of Konoha ninjas, they would have never even regarded Rain Hidden Village.

Frontline Commander Camp.

The Shadows of the Earth, Water, and Lightning ninja villages gathered together.

"Damn Salamander Banzang, you caused heavy losses to my Cloud Hidden ninjas!"

Second Generation Raikage's eyes were crimson, and they could hardly wait to rush to the front line and kill Banzang.

"Calm down!" Third Generation Water Shadow frowned, reminding.

If they were to speak a reminder, they worried that this reckless brute would get hot‑headed and charge to the front line.

If caught by Konoha's Poison Master then it would be over.

"Don't panic yet; I've already sent an Alliance Invitation to Wind Shadow."

Third Generation Earth Shadow Da Ye Mu said with a composed expression.

Don't think that just because they are temporarily suppressed by Konoha and Rain Hidden, the arrival of support from Sand Hidden Village would improve the battle situation.

Even if Konoha were even more powerful, it could not face the Four Nations' assault simultaneously.

Even with the Rain Hidden Village alliance, it would be of no help.

When the Four Nations Troops attack, Konoha is too busy to take care of itself; where would there be time to attend to Rain Hidden?

By then, it will be Shanjiaoyu Banzang's death day!

First eliminate Rain Hidden; then Konoha will be besieged on all sides.

Their winning the war is a foregone conclusion.

"Tsuchikage, will Wind Shadow agree to your alliance request?"

Third Generation Water Shadow asked, puzzled.

It should be noted that the war had been raging for about ten days, yet Sand Hidden Village had never taken part in the fighting.

He thought Wind Shadow had no intention of joining this war.

Otherwise, they would have already dispatched troops to the front line.

The Earth Shadow's Alliance Invitation has an eighty‑percent chance of being rejected by Wind Shadow.

He thought the Earth Shadow was being somewhat fanciful.

What kind of teammates are these!

Why would he ally with such a guy?

Third Generation Water Shadow thought carefully, then suddenly remembered.

The three ninja villages had been at war from the start, because Rain Hidden Village launched war against them.

Only then did they temporarily cease fighting and jointly oppose Rain Hidden Village.

Later Konoha also entered the war, and they could only unite to jointly resist Konoha.

In other words, they were originally opponents.

They were merely forced to join together!

Third Generation Water Shadow was enlightened; no wonder they thought the two were fools.

Da Ye Mu was startled by the words.

Yeah, would Wind Shadow really agree to the alliance?

He hadn't really thought that question through…

He just instinctively felt that Wind Shadow wouldn't let go of this chance to jointly oppose Konoha.

But exactly how Wind Shadow thinks remains unknown.

Third Generation Water Shadow sighed at the sight.

Having such teammates, losing the war is inevitable.

He had already figured out how to betray his teammates then, playing it safe.

Anyway, they were originally enemies, merely temporarily united.

If it really doesn't work, just abandon them and run off alone.

—A dead fellow cultivator, not a dead poor cultivator.

The three discussed inside the camp how to counter Konoha and Rain Hidden.

First, they must deal with Shanjiaoyu Banzang.

And this glorious task was assigned to Second Generation Raikage.

The other two were to block Lian Ye!

They must not let him come to rescue Banzang.

As long as Shanjiaoyu Banzang dies, Rain Hidden Village will no longer pose a threat.

And Konoha only needs to be worn down slowly.

The three thought the operation plan was good and immediately gave the final decision.

"Tomorrow, I will go to the front line myself and eliminate Shanjiaoyu Banzang in the shortest time!"

Second Generation Raikage said boldly.

He can't defeat Konoha's Poison Master, and also can't defeat a Rain Hidden Village Leader?

Everyone is a Shadow-level Strongman; who is afraid of whom!
