In recent years, the country has suddenly closed itself off from the world, and Yagura has begun to purge the bloodline families.
From the outside, this is just the same old trick of the Hidden Mist. Blood Mist, if it doesn't fight among itself, is it still Blood Mist?
However, the intricacies of the situation are unknown to outsiders, and no one wants to venture into the Hidden Mist to investigate.
After all, the Hidden Mist Village was like a breeding ground for poison, with people killing each other.
Not to mention that outsiders trying to go in to find out information would simply be throwing their lives away.
But things are different now; Kawasaki has leaked the news.
It's estimated that many forces will risk investigating.
Once it's discovered that Yagura is dead, the Three-Tails will also be gone.
War is about to break out.
Why was the Land of Water attacked?
The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, is no longer able to carry the torch. Without the perfect Jinchuriki, Yagura, Kirigakure is in chaos and its strength has greatly diminished.
The Land of Lightning attacked, and its high-end combat power completely overwhelmed them.
Moreover, there's no need to worry about being attacked from both sides.
Because Konoha was trapped by the Uchiha.
If Konoha were to send troops, the Uchiha could directly usurp the throne.
Given the Third Hokage's cautious nature, he would never take such a risk.
Iwagakure wouldn't attack Kumogakure either, and with Konoha of the Land of Fire in between, Konoha wouldn't agree to let them pass.
Who would believe you didn't use this as a pretext to destroy a country?
Crossing the borders of small countries is not something the small countries are happy about, and along the way there is also the newly emerging Otogaku Village in the Land of Fields.
As Ōnoki of Iwagakure gets older, he becomes more and more cautious, and he will not make any rash moves until he finds a suitable successor.
Sandy hiding place is too far from cloud hiding place.
The Hidden Cloud Village has no reason to worry about the Hidden Sand Village.
As long as other countries don't react in time, the Hidden Clouds can advance unimpeded.
They might even conquer the Land of Water.
The reason why Kumogakure didn't attack Kirigakure in the previous life was for two reasons: first, Yagura's death was a top secret; second, no one went to investigate.
By the time the news spread, the Akatsuki had already taken action, and Yugito had been captured.
The Hidden Cloud Village naturally dared not act rashly, but now, Yugito was still alive, Killer Bee was at his peak, and the Fourth Raikage A was also in his prime.
When they attacked Kirigakure, which had no tailed beasts, Kirigakure was unable to withstand the attack.
Kawasaki scratched his head, never expecting that his plan would push Kirigakure into a fire pit.
But given Yunyin's temperament, he wouldn't miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
It remains to be seen whether the Hidden Clouds will choose a surprise attack with elite troops or a full-scale invasion.
It's unclear when the Hidden Cloud Village will make its move.
They were somewhat passive.
If the Hidden Cloud Village were to advance unimpeded and occupy part of the Land of Water's territory, other countries would certainly be uneasy.
Especially since Iwagakure couldn't intervene after Kumogakure had just made its move.
They might observe first, but once Kumogakure succeeds, Iwagakure will no longer tolerate it.
The enmity between Iwagakure and Kumogakure runs as deep as the sea.
Iwagakure will never stand idly by and watch Kumogakure grow stronger.
Even if they take a detour or form an alliance, Iwagakure will still intervene in the Land of Water's battlefield or directly launch a surprise attack on Kumogakure's home base.
This could easily trigger the Fourth Shinobi World War prematurely.
After all, the Cloud Village would become unprecedentedly powerful after annexing the Mist Village, which is something other countries are unwilling to see.
This chaotic situation is something Obito can only laugh about.
Jinchuriki are the most useful on the battlefield.
Using Obito's methods, it would be too easy for him to cause trouble and capture people on the battlefield.
Kawasaki became increasingly convinced that these possibilities were real.
No, we can't let things get out of control.
We must shift from a passive to an active stance.
It's impossible for me to become close to Konoha in a short period of time.
Rather than betting that Yagura's death could be kept secret.
Why not just sell the news of the Fourth Mizukage Yagura's death to Kumogakure?
Yunyin will definitely not be able to hold back.
Kawasaki could first cooperate with Kumogakure to lure them into attacking Kirigakure.
Then find an opportunity to ambush them and severely damage the Cloud Village, at least making them quiet for a while.
If Kumogakure has no intention of attacking Kirigakure, that would be even better; at worst, Kawasaki can play the clown again.
Kawasaki is now like Akatsuki during Yahiko's time, striving for peace in the ninja world.
Although limited by power and time.
It's best to avoid war for the next few years...
Kawasaki pondered the matter several times in his mind, and after calculating it to a reasonable degree, he first wrote a letter to Orochimaru.
Tell him to tell Kabuto that when he goes to Konoha, he should find fault with the Third Hokage in front of all the leaders, and the Uchiha clan will stand up for him.
That way, the spies from Kumogakure will find out.
The Uchiha clan and Konoha Village were already irreconcilable enemies, which naturally tied down Konoha's military forces.
In addition, he wrote a letter to the Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei, in which he mentioned the matter in a vague way.
If the situation turns unfavorable, the Uchiha are willing to take on any job and intervene in any battlefield.
Whether Mei Terumi understands it or not is not important; the key information is what matters.
After everything was arranged, Kawasaki thought about it for a while, then breathed a sigh of relief and temporarily put the matter aside.
......
In the Uchiha territory, Shizune saw that Kawasaki seemed to have plenty of money and directly asked Qiming for a bunch of high-end medical equipment.
Kawasaki looked at these documents and, without saying a word, signed them.
He was mentally prepared for the high price of medical equipment, but the fact that 400 million was spent in the blink of an eye still surprised him.
According to Silent, these are just basic equipment for treating injuries and illnesses.
To reach the research level, the cost would be at least ten times higher.
Kawasaki now understood why Orochimaru spent so much money.
It's worth noting that Orochimaru consistently ranked among the top three in terms of the number of missions he carried out in Konoha, usually second only to Jiraiya.
If Orochimaru hadn't become obsessed with research later on, he would have accomplished even more missions.
Orochimaru, who has completed hundreds of S-rank missions, has always been short of funds, which shows how expensive scientific research is.
Fortunately, both the Uchiha Snack Street and the chain stores in the Land of Fields are accessible.
All of these factors continuously generate profits for Orochimaru, allowing his research to continue.
......
Today, Naruto is having a meal at the clan's house, which is a rare occasion.
Kawasaki planned to introduce the two little ones to Tsunade, and deliberately chose to have everyone gather together at mealtime.
When they brought Naruto there, Tsunade hadn't arrived yet.
When Naruto learned that Fugaku had lost his sight, he cried his eyes out.
Over the years, Fugaku's teachings have been vivid in his mind. He never expected that his Uncle Fugaku had also fought with Obito when he was attacked.
"Uncle Fugaku, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you."
Naruto hated Obito to the core; to him, Obito had killed his parents.
The Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage also caused the deaths of many villagers, casting a shadow over his childhood, and now it has caused Uncle Fugaku to go blind.
So many of his loved ones have been hurt by Obito, Naruto will definitely not let him get away with it.
Fugaku smiled with his eyes closed and said, "Alright, Naruto, you'd better work hard from now on. Obito is not easy to deal with."
"Don't worry, Uncle Fugaku, I will definitely do my best."
Seeing his father praising Naruto, Sasuke couldn't help but interject, "Obito is my target. I will avenge my father. It's none of your business."
"Even if Uncle Fugaku hadn't been injured, I would still find Obito..."
Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Kawasaki grabbed one of their ears and said, "It's time to eat. What are you arguing about? Do you really think Obito is a pushover?"
"The two of you combined are not even worth one slap from him, yet you're still spouting nonsense here."
Sasuke and Naruto clutched their heads, crying, "Ouch, ouch, ouch... Master/Senior, let go..."
"Are you still going to fight or not?"
Kawasaki asked impatiently.
"I'm not going to fight anymore... I'm not going to fight anymore..."
At that moment, Tsunade walked in.
"Lady Tsunade, please have a seat."
Kawasaki quickly asked Tsunade to sit down, and then introduced her: "Lady Tsunade, this is Sasuke, and this is Naruto."
