Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching.

"You heard wrong, I was talking about the first anniversary." Tsunade rubbed Shizune's face.

There is a high probability that Zhou Tian Mu Yue will not agree.

"It's just one week, I heard it too." Obito stood up and said.

"Hmm?" Tsunade raised her fist.

"Well, now that I think about it, it seems to be the first anniversary," Obito stepped back.

It’s not that he disregards the friendship between classmates, it’s that Tsunade really doesn’t care about age when beating people.

Chapter 682 Joint Confrontation

The news that Mu Yue was going to succeed the Hokage spread quickly not only in Konoha and the Land of Fire, but also soon spread to the surrounding countries of all sizes.

The five major ninja villages basically have some intelligence forces in various parts of the ninja world, so when the news came out, the other four major ninja villages received the information from the intelligence ninjas one after another.

The country of earth, the village of Iwagakure.

"The Hokage election was completed so quickly, no wonder Konoha has not taken any action. So this is their plan." Ohnoki understood after reading the information.

The news that Sarutobi Hiruzen was defeated by Sosuke was able to spread throughout the ninja world in a short period of time, and Iwagakure played a big role in it.

For the current Iwagakure, Konoha is a big trouble, and the Ninja Clan is a small trouble. The best thing would be for these two troubles to fight each other.

Unfortunately, things went against our wishes. Konoha did not respond at all, even though the news had already been widely reported by the people of Konoha.

"Although the impact can be eliminated to a certain extent, the price is too high. Could it be that this battle caused Sarutobi Hiruzen to suffer serious injuries that are difficult to heal?" Ohnoki fell into thought.

Letting Mu Yue, who currently has the most power, succeed as Hokage is indeed a good move, but this is only for the entire Konoha.

For Sarutobi Hiruzen himself, this decision was a huge loss. He not only lost the power of Hokage, but also gave people the impression that he resigned due to responsibility.

If it were Ohnoki, he would most likely choose to play dead, do nothing, not respond, and not pass on the throne.

Ohnoki thought about it, and then carefully looked through the information collected by the ninjas, trying to analyze new content from it.

He really wanted to know the details of the battle between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Sosuke, but since there were only a few people accompanying him and they were all elites from their respective forces, there were no spies.

Even though Ohnoki asked the intelligence department to try their best to collect relevant information, in the end they only got some fragmentary information from Rokudo Castle.

As for Konoha, probably because it was the defeated party, it issued a strict order to keep the matter confidential, and Iwagakure was unable to find out any relevant information from Konoha.

"There's still too little information to make a judgment." Ohnoki shook his head and sighed.

"Konoha probably has no intention of engaging with the Ninja Clan, so what other forces can be used..."

Ohnoki thought for a moment and took out the map of the Ninja World, making a mark on the Land of Grass and the Land of Wind.

The Rain Kingdom borders six countries, three of which are big countries and three are small countries.

The three great nations are the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Fire, and the Kingdom of Earth.

The three small countries are the Bird Country, the Grass Country, and the River Country.

Among them, the Kingdom of Birds and the Kingdom of Rivers are small countries without ninja villages, and a branch of the Ninja Clan has already appeared in the Kingdom of Birds. In Ohnoki's mind, it is tacitly accepted that it is the sphere of influence of the Ninja Clan.

There is no doubt that the Ninja Clan is a very ambitious organization.

If the Iwagakure Village had not been keeping a close eye on the Shinobi Clan, they probably wouldn't have known that the Shinobi Clan had already completed the integration of the Rain Country's ninja power, bringing the Rain Country's ninja power to its peak in history.

In the eyes of those who don’t know, Amegakure and Ninja Clan are two different forces.

But Ohnoki knew that after Hanzo's death, the Amegakure would belong to Sosuke, even though the official leader of the Amegakure was not Sosuke.

Although they have clearly completed the integration of domestic forces, they still act like two different forces. They must have some ulterior motive.

Ohnoki estimated that the Ninja Clan might take action against River Country before long.

The situation in River Country is similar to that in Bird Country. There is no ninja village but there are some ninja clans. However, the ninja power in River Country is much stronger than that in Bird Country.

Ohnoki didn't want to see the Ninja Clan continue to grow stronger.

When the Ninja Clan was causing trouble in the Land of Birds, Iwagakure was at a critical moment of the war and Ohnoki had no time to care. Now that the war is over, how could he continue to watch the Ninja Clan grow in strength?

At this time, the Grass Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom, which also bordered the Rain Kingdom, became natural allies of the Earth Kingdom.

The Ninja Clan becoming the sixth largest ninja force will not only grab the cake of Iwagakure, but will also be affected by Sunagakure.

As for the Kusagakure Village, there is one more super big brother around, and it is almost taking over everything.

On this side, Ohnoki wanted to use Sunagakure to deal with the Ninja Clan, and on the other side, Rasa was also thinking about something similar.

"This Ninja Clan must be difficult to deal with, otherwise how could Sarutobi Hiruzen keep pretending to be dead and pass the throne directly to Hanyu Mugetsu." Luo Sha thought after putting down the information.

The news of Sarutobi Hiruzen's defeat spread quickly throughout the ninja world, and the Sand Village also contributed to this.

Luo Sha himself was almost beaten to death by Mu Yue. Of course, he was extremely unhappy with Konoha. If he could defeat him, Luo Sha would have wanted to send troops to attack Konoha's homeland immediately.

So after learning about this negative news about Konoha, Rasa tried his best to help spread the news, and was very worried that there were ninjas who didn't know about this shocking scandal in Konoha.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have let the intelligence ninja help spread the news. Instead, it helped Hanyu Muyue." Thinking of this, Luo Sha's face darkened.

Normally, Mu Yue shouldn't have succeeded to the throne of Hokage so soon.

It was obvious that because something happened to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mu Yue had the opportunity to succeed to the throne early.

This made Rasa very unhappy. He felt that his actions did not cause much trouble to Konoha, but instead helped his enemy get promoted and directly reach the pinnacle of power in the ninja world.

In order to become the Kazekage, he spent countless efforts, stabilizing the internal situation and repelling external enemies before he finally secured the position of Kazekage. However, Mu Yue was directly carried to the position of Hokage while lying down.

How could Luo Sha be in a good mood after this?

"Since we can't stir up trouble with Konoha, we can only try Iwagakure. We must destroy the cooperation between Iwagakure and the Ninja Clan."

Luo Sha calmed down and stopped thinking about Mu Yue. Instead, he thought about how to curb the development of the Ninja Clan. After all, he was a Kage and could not bring too many personal emotions into his work.

It is unrealistic to take revenge on Mu Yue. The most urgent task is to prevent the Ninja Clan from growing stronger.

Theoretically speaking, it would be very easy for a large ninja village like Sunagakure to establish a small country's ninja force.

But Konoha showed this attitude, which made Rasa dare not underestimate the Ninja Clan.

It is impossible to attack one village alone, so at least the Iwagakure Village must be involved.

Luo Sha has enough confidence to turn Iwagakure and the Shinobi Clan against each other.

There is no eternal friendship between ninja villages, only eternal interests.

Luo Sha didn't believe that Iwagakure would be willing to have part of its interests taken away by the rising ninja clan.

Then Luo Sha remembered something and called his trusted subordinates to ask:

"Does Ye Cang have some connection with the Ninja Clan?"

"It seems so. She once took some ninjas to Rokudo Castle twice to listen to Sosuke's lectures, and it seems that she also asked Sosuke for advice on ninjutsu." The Sunagakure Jonin thought for a while and replied.

Luo Sha's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Collect some relevant intelligence and closely monitor Ye Cang's actions."

Luo Sha is really annoyed with Ye Cang.

He was the Kazekage, but just because he made a small mistake in decision at the end, Ye Cang publicly reprimanded him mercilessly without giving him any face at all.

If he had not personally gone into battle to replace Ye Cang, Ye Cang would have surely died on the battlefield.

He used Magnetic Escape to provide double protection, but was almost knocked out by Mu Yue's punch. Ye Cang's Burning Escape did not have such defensive capabilities.

Although his intention of withdrawing Ye Cang was not to save Ye Cang, that was actually the case. As a result, Ye Cang even scolded him in return.

He just wanted to deal with the Ninja Clan, so he could get rid of Ye Cang at the same time. Anyway, Ye Cang could not be used by him, and keeping him would be a hidden danger.

……

The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.

"How powerful is Sosuke that he could force Sarutobi Hiruzen into this state." The Third Raikage became very interested in Sosuke after reading the information.

Originally, he was not interested in the Shinobi Sect. Firstly, the Rain Country where the Shinobi Sect was located was far away from the Thunder Country. Secondly, there were too few ninjas in the Shinobi Sect, and to the Third Raikage, it seemed like a small fight.

Therefore, when the Ninja Clan held a youth martial arts tournament in the Land of Rain, the Third Raikage did not send any ninjas to participate.

Now the Third Raikage found that he might have underestimated the leader of the Ninja Clan, who was known as the Ninja Master.

Take the Third Raikage himself for example, in a one-on-one situation, he was not absolutely sure of defeating Sarutobi Hiruzen, let alone beating Sarutobi Hiruzen so hard that he didn't want to be Hokage anymore.

"It's hard to say. Maybe Sosuke is the strongest in the ninja world today." Tsuchidai analyzed.

"Sosuke has never been defeated since his appearance. Whether his opponent is a famous master like Kakuzu or a legendary ninja like Hanzo, he has never been in a difficult situation. His true strength is still unknown."

After the news of Sosuke defeating Sarutobi Hiruzen spread throughout the ninja world, Sosuke's reputation reached a new peak.

At first, most people doubted that this was a rumor, even the intelligence ninjas from the major ninja villages thought so.

However, when Konoha didn't respond and remained silent, their thoughts changed.

Sometimes not answering is also an answer.

If it was really a rumor, how could Konoha remain indifferent? After all, it concerns the reputation of the Hokage.

"He founded the Ninja Sect and inherited the Six Paths. Could it be that he is really the legitimate successor of the Six Paths Sage Ninja Sect?" The Third Raikage had a thoughtful expression.

In the eyes of many ninjas, the Sage of Six Paths is just a legendary mythical figure.

But the Third Raikage knew that the Sage of Six Paths was a real ancestor of ninjas and not a fictional mythological character, because there were descendants of the Sage of Six Paths in the Hidden Cloud Village, and they even possessed the Sage's ninja tools.

The Third Raikage was well aware of how powerful the Six Paths Ninja Tools were. The descendants of the Six Paths Sage had used the Six Paths Ninja Tools to stage a coup, and even the Second Raikage was killed by them.

The ninja tools left behind by the Six Paths Sage alone were so powerful. If the Six Paths inherited by Sosuke were the Sage's ninjutsu, how much more powerful would it be? The Third Raikage could hardly imagine it.

But there are too many doubts.

Since there are orthodox successors to the Ninja Sect, why didn't someone like Sosuke stand up to restore the Ninja Sect during its thousands of years of extinction?

The Shinobi Sect has really disappeared for too long. Some ninjas think that the Shinobi Sect is a new force created by Sosuke, not knowing that the Shinobi Sect was founded by the Six Paths Sage in ancient times.

Even though the Ninja Clan founded by the Six Paths Sage is the origin of Ninja.

However, the Third Raikage thought it was normal. According to ancient records, ancient ninjas and modern ninjas are completely different.

Ancient ninjas do not need to accept commissioned missions. Their duty is to maintain world peace and create a world without war where everyone can live in peace.

As for modern ninjas, war is almost one of their important sources of funds, and war commission fees are the most expensive.

……

The Kingdom of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

Mizukage's office.

"Yakura, what do you think we in Kirigakure should do in the current situation?" The Third Mizukage sat in the office chair, put down the information and asked Karuju Yakura with a smile.

"Do nothing?" Karuta Yagura answered uncertainly.

"It seems that you have gained something from the last defeat." The Third Mizukage nodded slightly.

If it were the former Karatachi Yagura, he might want to take this opportunity to join other ninja villages in causing trouble and weaken the strongest Konoha.

"During the Third Shinobi World War, we have already seriously offended Iwagakure, Sandagakure, and Kumogakure."

"They need Kirigakure's power, but that doesn't mean they will forgive our past actions. Therefore, we cannot immediately join forces with them to deal with Konoha. Even if we succeed in the end, Kirigakure will not have a good outcome."

"At the same time, we can't really help Konoha too much, because Konoha's development momentum is too good. Konoha can be strong, but not too strong."

The Third Mizukage knew very well that the alliance between the ninja villages was unreliable. Today he could sell Fuudo Lei for profit, and tomorrow Konoha could also take action against Kirigakure for profit.

If Konoha is really strong enough to fight one against four, then does Konoha still need Kirigakure as an ally?

Obviously there is no need for that. If one person can take it all for himself, why would anyone else come to share a piece of the pie?

Karuju Yagura nodded thoughtfully.

He had thought about this, but not as much as the Third Mizukage.

"Of course you don't have to help, but you can just do some superficial work. I've already asked someone to contact Konoha, and you can be the envoy and watch the ceremony with Konoha." said the Third Mizukage.

Konoha and Kirigakure are still in their honeymoon phase, so if they don't express anything, their intentions will be too obvious.

"Okay." Karuta Yagura agreed without asking.

As for his defeat to Mu Yue, Goju Yagura has already come to terms with it. After all, the Fourth Kazekage was almost killed by Mu Yue with one punch, and Mu Yue used more than one punch against him. In this way, he is stronger than the Fourth Kazekage.

"Isn't the Ninja Clan taking any action either? Sosuke alone must be of great value." Karuta Yagura asked curiously.

If we can successfully utilize the Ninja Clan, we might be able to take over a large Ninja Village.

"Let's wait and see. The Ninja Clan will be in trouble soon, and might even become the center of a vortex." The Third Mizukage shook his head.
