Chapter 444

As the gateway for the Land of Lightning to face the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, the importance of the Land of Moon's position cannot be lost for Kumogakure!

The Third Raikage naturally could not watch the Land of Moon fall into the hands of Iwagakure.

If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold; how could the Third Raikage not understand this principle?

In the Raikage's office, the Third Raikage paced back and forth, his burly body exuding anxiety and anger.

"Now you first order the troops in the Land of Moon to shrink their defense."

"At the same time, summon all the ninjas in Kumogakure who can participate in the war to gather!"

The Third Raikage ordered a Cloud ninja beside him in a muffled voice, his muffled voice filled with suppressed anger.

"Yes!"

"Raikage-sama!"

After hearing this, a Cloud ninja immediately went to execute the Third Raikage's order.

"What about Konoha?"

The Third Raikage suddenly thought of something and asked another Cloud ninja beside him.

"News came from Konoha that a large number of Rain ninjas who should have been fighting with Iwagakure suddenly appeared in the Land of Fire 27."

"The Rain ninjas have launched a war against Konoha, and the Land of Fire cannot provide us with support..."

The Cloud ninja reported to the Third Raikage with an ugly face.

"Damn it!!!"

The Third Raikage smashed his fist on the desk in front of him, and the solid wood desktop instantly split into eight pieces.

Perhaps the movement was too big, which affected the wound, causing a trace of blood to seep out again on the gauze wrapped around the Third Raikage's chest.

Suddenly, the Third Raikage, who was in a rage, seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes showed a change.

"What about Kirigakure's envoy?"

"Where is Kirigakure's envoy?!"

The Third Raikage suddenly remembered Momochi Zabuza, the Kirigakure envoy who had come to seek cooperation ten days ago.

"My lord, Kirigakure's envoy has been in the village and has not left."

"He is still in the post station now."

The Cloud ninja responded softly to the Third Raikage.

"Quick! Go and invite Kirigakure's envoy to see me!"

A trace of hope flashed in the Third Raikage's eyes, and he immediately ordered the Cloud ninja in front of him.

Land of Fire.

The Rain ninjas, who should have been on the battlefield of the Land of Earth, suddenly appeared in large numbers in the Land of Fire.

A large number of Rain ninjas infiltrated the Land of Fire, where defenses were sparse, and killed a large number of Konoha ninjas responsible for border defense through assassination.

Afterward, Hanzo of the Salamander took the elite Rain ninjas who had just withdrawn from the border of the Land of Earth and directly invaded the territory of the Land of Fire.

This move of descending from heaven directly caught Konoha off guard.

Not only that, Iwagakure of the Land of Earth and the Rain ninjas of the Land of Rain issued statements at the same time.

Claiming that the war between the two countries at the border ended in a draw, and the two countries had reached a reconciliation.

This move of "openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang" by the Rain ninjas and Iwagakure truly made the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning somewhat unpredictable.

Three of the Five Great Nations, the Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Fire, all fell into the flames of war.

If the Great Nations are like this, it goes without saying for the small nations.

Small nations that previously had grievances against each other broke out into wars one after another, announcing resolutions to declare war on each other.

There were even small nations that chose to take this opportunity to imitate the Rain ninjas of the Land of Rain and launch a war against the Great Nations that had been exploiting them.

Overnight, the entire Ninja World was in chaos.

But Konoha is Konoha after all; the powerful Konoha would not lose its footing because of the Rain ninjas' sudden attack.

With the commander already established, the three disciples of the Third Hokage led a large number of Konoha elites directly to the battlefield.

Supported by a terrifying foundation, Konoha instantly mobilized a powerful military force that could be called terrifying; this combat power occupied an absolute advantage compared to the Rain ninjas.

Under the leadership of Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya, a large number of Konoha elites arrived at the border of the Land of Fire.

But the experienced Hanzo of the Salamander did not foolishly wait for the arrival of Konoha's main force in place, but after completing a series of: invasions, assassinations, annihilations, destruction, and looting, he retreated to the Land of Rain along the original path.

Because Hanzo of the Salamander knew deeply that since there was already a gap in the quality of grassroots ninjas on both sides, if he chose to fight an away game in the Land of Fire, it would be an extremely unfavorable result for the Rain ninjas who were good at Water Release.

Rather than this, it is better to return to the home field of the Land of Rain and wait for Konoha's active attack.

And this can also extend the supply line of Konoha ninjas, increase Konoha's burden, and Hanzo of the Salamander can also use the strategic depth of the Land of Rain's home field to attack Konoha's supply line.

It can be said that Hanzo of the Salamander never intended to go head-to-head with Konoha from the beginning.

And after the three of Tsunade led the Konoha ninjas to the front line, they did not choose to continue to advance rashly, but chose to linger and rest at the border.

It can be expected that after Konoha finishes its preparations, it will inevitably attack the Land of Rain with thunderous momentum to seek a decisive battle with the main force of the Rain ninjas.

And as for who will win, everything is still unknown.

The turmoil of the Ninja World blew impartially to every corner of the Ninja World.

At this moment, inside Sunagakure of the Land of Wind, a fierce quarrel broke out.

Kazekage Building, today the high-level officials of Sunagakure gathered together, and "rarely" there was no situation of people being absent.

And in fact, for several months, this "absent" situation mainly referred to the Third Kazekage himself.

Because the Third Kazekage had been soaking in the Wind Desert for a long time to manufacture iron sand, the government affairs of Sunagakure had been handled by Elder Chiyo and Elder Ebizo recently.

Today, under Chiyo's repeated orders, the Third Kazekage, Sate, finally returned to 740 Sunagakure.

And when the Third Kazekage entered the conference room of the Kazekage Building, everyone in the room simply could not believe their eyes.

Is this still the Third Kazekage they chose, who was unruly and handsome?

At this moment, having soaked in the Wind Desert for two months, with disheveled hair and a beard that had grown to his chest, and hair as messy as a chicken coop, the Third Kazekage sat on the main seat belonging to the Kazekage without any politeness.
