In a stronghold in the Land of Hot Water.
The Kirigakure's Shinobi here show two extremes of differentiation. One side is happy and beaming, while the other side is dejected and downcast, as if they are in two worlds.
"Yesterday was so cool, I killed seven people in Kumogakure!"
"I'm so miserable, I was chased by Konoha's Shinobi all night!"
"Who said it wasn't! I've long been unhappy with those muscle-brains."
"I'm so miserable. I was first chased by that Shimizu Sōseki and after finally escaping, I just happened to encounter Namikaze Minato who was chasing and killing another team!"
"However, those Kumogakure guys are really rich. The resources we robbed from them are enough for us to use for a few months."
"Wuwu, we have nothing left, let alone Explosive Tag, even all of our military rations pills are eaten up!"
In such noisy atmosphere, the two sides exchanged gazes strangely, 'It seems that the one who was pulled the short end of the stick is the one attacking Konoha last night!
…
"You only achieved this level of results?" Mizukage, who heard the report, was very dissatisfied, but he couldn't do anything about it. After all, the time is too difficult to grasp!
If he attacked early, Konoha and Kumogakure may not have started fighting yet, and if they attacked later, they would already finished fighting.
Moreover, war does not mean that it can be fought with just fighting. It takes time for them to assemble and advance.
In short, war micromanagement mastering is too difficult!
A Jōnin, who was wearing a dog-head mask, said, "The defeat on the Konoha's battlefield was entirely due to Namikaze Minato and Shimizu Sōseki. Their support was so fast that they could reverse the situation in just a few minutes. Relatively speaking, Kumogakure's battlefield is much easier."
"Shimizu Sōseki!" Mizukage's eyes looked a little horrified, "The little brat that was promoted to Chunin two years ago has now able to control a war. This kind of growth rate is really scary!"
The Jōnin couldn't help but said, "Are all Kumogakure's Shinobi idiots? How can they let such a genius grow up!"
A Jōnin with cat mask nodded with conviction, "If it were our Kirigakure, we definitely would not give him a chance to grow!"
Mizukage shook his head slightly and said, "With the strength and character shown by that brat, it's not easy to kill him."
At this time, a Jōnin with ghost mask, who has not spoken, asked worriedly, "Mizukage-sama, isn't it too radical for us to declare war on both Konoha and Kumogakure this time?"
Hearing the meaning of his words, Mizukage laughed softly.
"Are you worried that they will abandon their hatred and join forces against us?"
"Yes, this subordinate does have this worry."
"Remember that our Kirigakure is far overseas. This is our limitation, but also our greatest advantage." Mizukage analyzed.
"Unlike the other four villages, it is useless for us to ask for territory. This means that compared with those guys who try to seize the territory and expand their territory, our threat to occasionally go ashore to rob resource is always secondary!"
"Besides, how can they retaliate? If we lost too much, we will go back directly to the Land of Water. Do they dare to chase after us to the Land of Water? If that's the case, I'm going to laugh out loud."
It's not that he looks down on these land countries. If it really turns into a naval battle, he dares to fight against four villages at once like Konoha.
Moreover, even if Konoha and Kumogakure are determined to eliminate them, they still have to reach a non-aggression agreement with the other party.
However, is it possible? Konoha and Kumogakure, who have been at war for two years, already has deeply rooted hatred. Even if one of the them says that they will not retaliate, the other party will definitely not gamble on the enemy's lower limit.
In short, their Kirigakure is very stable!
After listening to Mizukage's analysis, the rest of the Jōnin showed convinced expression, 'Indeed, the previous two wars have proved it.'
No matter how their Kirigakure attacks the other villages, the flames of war definitely won't be drawn to them.
At this moment, a Kirigakure Jōnin came over with a strange expression and reported, "Mizukage-sama, there is a Shinobi who claims to be Kumogakure's spy who wants to meet you."
Mizukage was amused and said, "Meet me? Hmph, that Raikage shouldn't send his men to die just to curse me, right?"
After thinking for a while, Mizukage said, "Let him come here."
...
At ten o'clock in the morning, Sōseki got up from the bed, looking exhausted and tired.
Even for him, after unlocking the Yin Seal and battle all night, and then went to take care of Kirigakure's attacks, it was kind of overwhelming.
The curtain of the tent was opened, and the dazzling sunlight shone in, causing Sōseki to narrow his eyes subconsciously.
Looking around, almost everyone in the camp was injured, and their faces were also full of exhaustion.
However, they don't look too sad.
The two years of war had caused them to experience too many separations. In this case, it was good to be able to survive.
There is another point, and that is the comparison with Kumogakure.
Perhaps in order to appease everyone's emotions, Orochimaru "accidentally" leaked it out immediately after receiving the information from Kumogakure.
Sure enough, after knowing that the culprit of yesterday's battle was much worse than them, everyone immediately became happy.
However, they also know who is responsible for such results.
Therefore, after seeing Sōseki appear, everyone greeted him excitedly.
"Sōseki, why did you get up so quickly? Shouldn't you rest for a while longer?"
"Sōseki-sama, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, we would have died yesterday!"
Sōseki responded one by one, and if he encountered someone who was serious injured, he would take the initiative to come forward to treat them.
After another wave of reputation, Sōseki came to Minato's tent.
"Minato-nii, are you there?"
"Oh Sōseki, please come in."
Sōseki walked into the tent and saw Minato's haggard appearance, which showed that his condition was worse than him.
After all, he doesn't have Yin Seal's ability to replenish his chakra.
Seeing Sōseki's appearance, Minato couldn't help but said with a smile, "It seems that we are both drained. It's not a good feeling to be hollowed out? However, it's good to get used to it in advance."
Sōseki looked dazed. 'Is he talking about that?'
'I am still a child!'
After the atmosphere become "active", Minato smiled and asked, "Sōseki, did Orochimaru-sama have another mission?"
"It's my own business." Sōseki shook his head gently, and then immediately said with a serious face, "Minato-nii, I would like to ask you how to use your one-time Sage Mode."
"Haha, of course there is no problem." Minato did not hesitate, on the contrary, he was extremely happy to be able to help Sōseki.
Seeing this, Sōseki couldn't help but sigh in his heart, 'Minato-nii is really worthy of being the number one tool man in my life, so reliable!'
Just then, Jiraiya sneaked in.
Minato wondered, "Sensei, what are you doing here?"
"Cough cough, I just happened to hear your conversation when I was passing by." Jiraiya pretended to cough and then said righteously, "Senjutsu is a very rigorous and dangerous training, and the risk of rash development is very high. So, let this sensei of yours listen to this on the side, so I can guide you at the crucial moment!"
