Chapter 126 Contradictions
"That's good."
The Third Kazekage raised his head and looked at the sky.
He originally didn't want to participate in this war right away. He wanted to prepare for a while longer, but...
"Well, it's not necessarily a bad thing."
As soon as the words fell, the third generation Kazekage disappeared from the spot.
......
After two days of rest.
The real team received a mission - to hunt down Futami Kazuki!
"Who is Kazuki Futami?"
Mizutani Feng asked immediately.
Shinichi and Tenma Junichi shook their heads one after another, saying that they didn't know.
Mizutani Feng thought for a while and said.
"Then why don't we ask the people around us?"
A group of Konoha ninjas will gather around the base at any time, some of them have no mission, and some of them have the mission of garrisoning the base.
"it is good!"
Shinichi had no objection to this. Since it was a pursuit, they would most likely have to fight. Under the premise of fighting, the better they knew their opponents, the more advantageous it would be to them.
After a while, Shinichi and the others asked the people around them and got a pretty good understanding of Futami Kazuki, such as...
"He was the leader of the four Sunagakure Jonin before. He was actually fishing for law enforcement. After we reported the intelligence, they were surrounded instead. Three of his teammates were all killed, but he escaped. The task of going out and chasing him was divided among many teams to conduct a large-scale search."
Tianma Chun analyzed the news.
Shinichi raised his eyebrows. All three of his teammates were dead and he was the only jounin left. Under such circumstances, Shinichi was completely confident to have a chance with him.
So, the three of them quickly set off without saying anything else.
Two days later.
Shinichi's mission was suspended.
Although many teams acted together and conducted a large-scale search, the jounin named Kazuki Futami still escaped into the vast desert, making it difficult to track.
Shinichi and the others finally got only one piece of new information - Futami Kazuki's four jounin were a reconnaissance team!
A reconnaissance team composed of four jounin!What on earth is going on that requires four jounin to investigate?
If this happened on the battlefield on the Iwagakure side, there would be nothing surprising. There are the main forces of Konoha and Iwagakure over there. The four jounin are nothing. It is reasonable to bring them together as a reconnaissance team, but this It's very unusual for this thing to happen here!
Could it be that Sunagakure is planning to use all his strength?Don't you want to waste time with Konoha?
This......
If this is true, then what Shinichi may have to face in the next few days is the kind of battlefield where jounin are everywhere and chunin are inferior to dogs.
After being separated from Tenma Jun and Mizutani Yutaka, Shinichi returned to his own tent and fell into deep thought.
Sunagakure Village, from the beginning of this war, its actions revealed an unspeakable contradiction.
At the beginning, Iwagakure and Kumogakure had an attitude of dealing with Konoha, but Sunagakure Village adopted an attitude of "I will not participate" and began to prepare for defense.
However, when the war began, Sunagakure Village followed closely and participated in the war against Konoha.
It is normal for Ninja Village to not be trustworthy. Even if Sunagakure Village is dishonest, it can be said to be "expected".
However, the problem is that Sunagakure Village made defensive preparations before the war began!
It's like playing a game. You have all your talents in defense. As a result, after finishing all the points, you run to do the main C. Is this reasonable?
No matter how dishonest you are, you still have to follow one basic principle - be sure.
In other words, it is completely understandable that Sunagakure wants to sneak attack on Konoha, but all this can only be understood on the premise that Sunagakure is sure that the sneak attack will succeed.
The same thing happened to Sunagakure before, who suddenly looked like he was about to attack by surprise. However, because he had made defensive preparations before, he was unable to mobilize the main force.
Why bother?It is normal to fail to keep one's word, but if one does not keep one's promise and still gets no benefit, isn't that not hurting others but not benefiting oneself?
Unless...unless Sunagakure encounters some unforeseen changes internally, causing Sunagakure to forcibly change his strategy!
If this guess is true, then what changes will cause Sunagakure, one of the five great ninja villages, to forcibly change his strategy?
Shinichi lowered his head and thought. To be honest, he had no idea about this. The only thing he could guess was that the Third Kazekage died.
This did happen in the original work. The death of the third Kazekage caused Sunagakure to suspect that Konoha was the mastermind behind the attack on Konoha.
But the problem is that after Shinichi came here, history has been changed. The time of the Third Ninja War has been moved forward a lot. At this time, the Third Kazekage should still be alive and well!
Could it be that... Scorpion took action in advance?
There is a certain possibility that since the Ninja World War broke out in advance, the shadow of the war may have stimulated Scorpion, causing Scorpion to kill the Third Kazekage in advance.
After all, Xie's parents died in the war, so it's not strange for Xie to be stimulated by the war that broke out in advance.
But, it's not right either!
If the Third Kazekage dies, then Sunagakure should shrink his strength immediately and find a leader as soon as possible. Stabilizing the situation in the village is the best way.
Why is it that after Kazekage died and the village fell into chaos, he ended up attacking other villages instead?
Even if you want to divert the conflicts within the village through war, you have to wait until you find a leader.
A group cannot fully exert its power without a leader.
"Ugh."
Shinichi shook his head, feeling conflicted about Sunagakure's behavior.
However, even if Shinichi can't determine what happened inside Sunagakure, what he can know is that the battlefield on Sunagakure's side is about to change.
At least, that's what Shinichi thought.
......
"what?"
Two days later, Shinichi looked at Uchiyama Mamoru in front of him with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.
Uchiyama Mamoru repeated.
"Sunagakure has greatly weakened their offensive. It seems that they are planning to withdraw from this war. Next, your team's task is to continue to monitor Sunagakure's situation. This is a long-term mission, unless Sunagakure Yin's side will completely withdraw from the war or other changes will occur, otherwise, your next mission will always be this."
Shinichi nodded numbly and retreated.
He never expected that Sunagakure would actually withdraw from the war!
This is even more contradictory!
Previously, Sunagakure launched an attack without preparation. As a result, after fighting for a while, Sunagakure gradually recovered and was about to use its full strength, but it withdrew from the battlefield!
It's simply...
When Shinichi heard the news, he didn't feel any joy, but instead felt a kind of fear.
Sunagakure's behavior is so abnormal!
What are they doing?What are you plotting?
What changes have occurred within them? !
Cold sweat appeared on Shinichi's back. Sunagakure's abnormal behavior made Shinichi completely sure of one thing - Sunagakure must be planning something!
Next, Shinichi informed Tenma Jun and Mizutani Yutaka of the news that Sunagakure might withdraw from the war.
Jun Tenma looked obviously relieved, while Yutaka Mizutani waved his fists excitedly. In his opinion, Sunagakure was beaten away by Konoha.
Shinichi looked at the expressions of the two and said nothing.
Tenma Jun is more mature and Mizutani Yutaka is more naive, but no matter what, they never think deeply because their perspectives are different from Shinichi's.
Shinichi has read the original work of Naruto, so when looking at this war, he instinctively believes in himself and observes it from a "God" perspective.
But Tenma Jun and Mizutani Yutaka are just chuunin. From their standpoint, they obviously don't think too much about the words of Konoha's senior officials. Even if they have doubts, they will believe most of them.
Therefore, Uchiyama Mamoru said that Sunagakure might withdraw from the war. What Shinichi saw was Sunagakure's unusualness, while Tenma Jun and Mizutani Yutaka saw Sunagakure's weakness.
This has nothing to do with IQ, just a different perspective.
"But did they retreat a little too quickly?"
Tianma Chun expressed his doubts.
Although he believed the words of Konoha's higher-ups, he still noticed something was wrong.
Shinichi shook his head.
"do not know."
He didn't tell Tianma Chun and Mizutani Yutaka about his guess, because what would happen if he told them?It has no effect except disturbing their minds.
"Don't worry so much, let's go."
Shinichi continued.
Their mission was to monitor the retreating Sunagakure ninjas, of course, from a distance.
"Um"
"Um"
With two responses, the real team set off.
......
In a desert, the sky is filled with yellow sand.
An extremely pale-faced Sunagakure boy, with the support of two Sunagakure ninjas, gritted his teeth and walked towards the north step by step.
"Hey! Hold on! Suppress it! It's just close."
"Your mission is about to arrive. We will leave later. You should know what to do."
The two Sunagakure ninjas who were supporting the boy kept talking to the boy.
The young man just nodded without replying or refuting. He just kept listening. The only thing that remained unchanged was his walking movements.
They are heading to the north, where Konoha is!
......
Three days later, when the True Team returned to the base to report, they received new news.
Their boss, Mamoru Uchiyama, was transferred.
The reason is that Sunagakure is about to withdraw from the war completely, while the Kumogakure battlefield in the northeast is under increasing pressure and has to transfer people from Sunagakure battlefield.
Obviously, Kumogakure should have gained a great advantage in the war against Kirikage, so that he had enough energy to deal with Konoha.
Konoha wanted to concentrate its strength and give priority to Iwagakure so that they could become invincible. However, Kumogakure was obviously not happy to see this situation, so they immediately transferred them from the Kirigakure battlefield when they had the upper hand. A group of people were recruited to put pressure on Konoha.
Konoha does not intend to give up its strategy of giving priority to defeating Iwagakure, so it does not plan to transfer people from the Iwagakure battlefield to resist Kumogakure, but directly transfers people from the Sunagakure battlefield that is about to end to resist Kumogakure.
Shinichi's heart became even colder.
In this way, wouldn't it mean that there is almost no defense on the Sunagakure battlefield? !
