Earth is mainly plains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similar to the other four countries except for the Hidden Leaf, although the territory within the Land of Earth is vast, the useful resources are not rich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the terrain of the Land of Earth is flat, it is mostly barren plains and exposed rocky land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forests and hilly areas are extremely scarce resources for the Land of Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, few people know that the Third Tsuchikage of the Hidden Rock Village, Onoki, has left the village located in the hinterland of the Land of Earth and came to the Land of Frost, a small country between the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the frozen soil of the Land of Frost, the Rock ninjas fully exerted their strengths and dug out a hidden rock cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About twenty elite members of the Hidden Rock were all dormant in the rock cave, quietly waiting for orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the leader was none other than the current Third Tsuchikage of the Hidden Rock Village—Onoki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsuchikage-sama, this is the news from the Rain ninjas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Rock ninja handed a piece of intelligence to Onoki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Onoki took the intelligence, he quickly browsed through it, a flash of sharpness in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As early as before the war broke out, he had already taken precautions and reached an agreement with the leader of the Rain ninjas, Hanzo of the Salamander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rain ninjas' offensive was merely a feint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, the Hidden Rock and the Rain ninjas would tacitly withdraw their troops together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, the Rain ninjas would turn to attack the Hidden Leaf, while the Rock ninjas would take the opportunity to seize control of a small country called the Land of Moon, which was a buffer zone between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if everything went smoothly, the Rock ninjas wouldn't mind including the Land of Frost, the Land of Fields, and other small countries belonging to the Hidden Leaf's sphere of influence along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Onoki had made up his mind, just waiting for an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go and rule the main force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cross the border now and head toward the Land of Moon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Onoki directly ordered the Rock ninja in front of him, his tone full of seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Tsuchikage-sama!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rock ninja bowed his head in response, then quickly escaped into the ground and rushed toward the direction of the Land of Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the rock cave, Onoki's expression flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything in the world has its give and take.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing from the perspective of the Hidden Rock, everything seemed to be an opportunity arranged by heaven for the rise of the Hidden Rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Cloud's Tailed Beast experiment could be hidden from the Hidden Sand thousands of miles away, and it could be hidden from the Hidden Mist on an isolated island overseas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it could not be hidden from the Hidden Leaf and the Hidden Rock, which were close at hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the fact that Onoki had been paying close attention to the state of the Hidden Cloud for many years, he naturally knew that this neighbor of the Land of Earth had fallen into a weak state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Onoki clearly knew that a Tailed Beast experiment not long ago had consumed a large amount of the Hidden Cloud's combat power and caused the Third Raikage to have not yet recovered from his injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were just like this, Onoki would only be tempted and would not take action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, rashly launching a war against the Hidden Cloud was a big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Hidden Rock, as one of the Five Great Nations, had the possibility of being doomed if not careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially at this moment, the Hidden Leaf and the Hidden Cloud were allies; with the shrewdness of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, he might take this opportunity to help the Hidden Cloud deal with the Hidden Rock, so as to gain benefits from the Hidden Rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Rain ninjas' sudden counterattack gave Onoki an opportunity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Rain ninjas launched a war against the Hidden Leaf, with the Rain ninjas holding the Hidden Leaf back, Onoki could take advantage of the situation to snatch food from the Hidden Cloud's mouth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Onoki, who had been enduring for more than ten years, could no longer sit by and watch such an opportunity slip away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you hesitate, you will suffer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Onoki had made up his mind to use the Hidden Cloud as a stepping stone for the Hidden Rock's progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the junction of the Land of Rain and the Land of Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the day, both sides had another battle full of bloodiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there were many casualties and bloodshed, it still did not affect the combat power of both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the main force sent by both sides was still cannon fodder troops led by Chunin, with \"Genin\" as the main force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the reality of the ninja world today, even the loss of one hundred Genin is not as great as the loss of one Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reality is just that cruel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just Genin-level cannon fodder, both sides have as many as they want.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a bloody battle, both sides left behind hundreds of corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time stepped into the night once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And tonight, the turning point of the ninja world's fate was destined to occur on this battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the main camp of the Rain ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanzo of the Salamander sat in the main seat, bowing his head in deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he still looked extremely calm, a closer look would reveal that Hanzo of the Salamander's eyes were filled with deep anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, a Rain ninja rushed into the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is it, what are the Rock ninjas doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hanzo of the Salamander asked his elite Rain ninja subordinate somewhat urgently...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to you, my lord, the Rock ninjas have already withdrawn from their positions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On the position after the Rock ninjas retreated, we found a letter, please take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rain ninja took a letter from his bosom and presented it to Hanzo of the Salamander with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he received the letter, Hanzo of the Salamander clearly saw these big characters written on the cover of the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—To be opened by Hanzo, leader of the Rain ninjas, from the Third Tsuchikage Onoki!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Hanzo of the Salamander immediately opened the letter and read its contents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only one sentence in the letter, but it made Hanzo of the Salamander reveal an excited, unbearable smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—The Hidden Rock takes the first step, looking forward to hunting in the ninja world with you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting down the letter in his hand, Hanzo of the Salamander suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed; the joy and dominance in his laughter left a group of Rain ninjas confused, looking at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pass on my order, all Rain ninjas withdraw and transfer positions immediately!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Target—the Hidden Leaf of the Land of Fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanzo of the Salamander said with burning eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, my lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the elite Rain ninja responded, he went to execute Hanzo of the Salamander's order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large number of Rain ninjas began to assemble quickly in the dead of night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, the battlefield, which originally had nearly ten thousand ninjas in a standoff, instantly became empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a large number of Rock ninjas crossed the border of the Land of Earth, traveled through the Land of Frost and the Land of Fields along the way, and rushed toward the Land of Moon at the doorstep of the Land of Lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki also sent someone to write a letter and sent an envoy to the Hidden Cloud Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When this declaration of war was delivered to the Third Raikage's desk, a large number of Rock ninjas had already invaded the territory of the Land of Moon and engaged in a fierce battle with the Cloud ninjas stationed in the Land of Moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames of war instantly began to spread, and the news that the Hidden Rock had suddenly declared war on the Hidden Cloud also spread throughout the ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bastard!!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Raikage smashed the desk in front of him with one punch, and purple chakra surged wildly on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the declaration of war from the Hidden Rock on the table, his expression like a furious lion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare he!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Raikage still found it hard to believe that Onoki had actually declared war on the Hidden Cloud!!!\u003C\u002Fp>",1466,"2026-06-17T05:01:42.539Z","2026-06-17T05:05:38.859Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
