Chapter 109: Iwagakure Attacks
During the two years of the Ninja War...
The Iwagakure led by Ōnoki and the Konoha led by Jiraiya...
Had fought many battles.
There were wins and losses.
But up until now, Iwagakure was actually in a disadvantageous state.
This time was an opportunity for Iwagakure.
Ōnoki narrowed his eyes slightly, as if planning something.
At this time, two people dressed differently, sitting in the corner, said calmly:
"Don't forget, that man known as the Strongest Creature on Sea, Land, and Air has been transferred here!"
"Don't underestimate that person too much!"
Naturally, they also knew the news about Aoyama Ryūun.
"Rōshi! Han!"
Hearing this, Kitsuchi became a little concerned.
He turned around directly to look.
"So what if they have that Aoyama Ryūun? Now they only have seven or eight hundred ninjas left, and he's the only top-tier combat power."
"Can't our entire Iwagakure defeat one person?"
It was because he hadn't witnessed Aoyama Ryūun's power firsthand...
That he would say such words.
This Kitsuchi is too young!
"..."
The two middle-aged men called Rōshi and Han shrugged in unison and said nothing.
Even so...
They didn't think the entire Iwagakure couldn't defeat one person.
As the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchūriki...
Rōshi and Han held considerable sway in Iwagakure.
Even the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki had to give face to these two Jinchūriki.
Actually...
Neither Rōshi nor Han were the type of people inclined towards war.
On the contrary, both were quite laid-back; what they wanted to do most was to travel around the Ninja World.
It was just that their Jinchūriki status did not allow them to do so.
Although they weren't perfect Jinchūriki...
Even without using the Tailed Beasts' power...
Rōshi and Han were both steadily Kage-level combatants!
"Alright!"
Ōnoki said faintly.
His voice was soft, but enough to make everyone quiet down and look at him.
"Start gathering the ninjas!"
"Yes!"
Kitsuchi's face lit up with joy, and he immediately walked out.
The meaning was self-evident: they were going to start a war with Konoha.
Rōshi and Han, after glancing at each other, shrugged in unison and did not express any opinion.
Although they disliked war...
But after all, it concerned the future of Iwagakure.
For the sake of the war, they had to participate.
"Rōshi! Han! Once this Ninja World War ends, I'll give you a few days to go out for a walk!"
After glancing at Rōshi and Han, Ōnoki said faintly.
Ōnoki had long known what these two were thinking.
"Hopefully!"
Happy? Maybe!
Having reached this age, neither Rōshi nor Han...
Would be motivated to fight by such a thing.
It could be seen that at this moment, Ōnoki was worried they would slack off.
"Rest assured. Although we dislike war, Iwagakure is our home after all!"
"When it's time to be serious, we will be serious!"
Ōnoki nodded in satisfaction.
"That's good!"
As long as Rōshi and Han could be serious, nothing else mattered.
As for losing face?
Hehe!
In the future Fourth Ninja World War, Ōnoki, who understood the Will of Stone, was indeed a qualified Tsuchikage.
But the current Ōnoki...
Was still a man who could abandon anything for immediate benefits.
He even spent money to hire ninjas from the underground world...
To serve as cannon fodder for Iwagakure.
Ōnoki had done such things many times.
As long as the outcome was good, the situation of others around him didn't matter.
This was the current Ōnoki.
...
"Iwagakure's environment is not as good as Kumogakure's!"
Sitting leisurely on a mountain top...
Looking at the surrounding rocks and cliffs, Aoyama Ryūun remarked with some disdain.
Although Kumogakure's environment was somewhat similar...
But at least one could see some scattered greenery.
Unlike Iwagakure here, where there was nothing.
Looking as far as the eye could see, everything was rocks and the like.
While Aoyama Ryūun was leisurely looking at the surrounding environment...
Hyuga Hiashi's figure suddenly rushed to Aoyama Ryūun's side.
"Lord Ryūun, Iwagakure has declared war on us!"
"Hmm? A bit slower than I imagined!"
Aoyama Ryūun commented with slight surprise.
Originally, Aoyama Ryūun thought that once Iwagakure learned the news of Jiraiya leaving...
They would declare war immediately.
Unexpectedly, they dragged it out until now.
"Since that's the case!"
It didn't matter; declare war or whatever, it was all the same whenever they fought.
Thinking of this, Aoyama Ryūun stood up and slightly stretched his muscles and bones.
He picked up the weapon at his feet and shouldered it.
"Then let's go beat that bunch of idiots back!"
Saying this, Aoyama Ryūun took the lead and left.
He ignored Hyuga Hiashi beside him.
Honestly, facing such a casual Aoyama Ryūun, even though Hyuga Hiashi knew Aoyama Ryūun was very strong...
Before witnessing it with his own eyes...
Hyuga Hiashi...
Still felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.
"No choice!"
Even if he was uneasy now, he couldn't say anything.
Hyuga Hiashi could only boost morale a bit.
Then he immediately began to gather the remaining ninjas in the camp.
Ten minutes later...
On that endless rocky battlefield...
Over three thousand Iwagakure ninjas and seven or eight hundred Konoha ninjas were confronting each other from a distance.
It had to be said, looking at Konoha's ninja numbers...
Some Iwagakure ninjas couldn't hold back and laughed directly.
The laughter showed no sign of restraint, instead getting louder and louder.
"Hahahaha!"
"We're definitely going to win!"
"With this few people, they actually want to fight us!"
"Hahahaha! Finally, we can win properly once!"
Perhaps in the eyes of these people...
With just seven or eight hundred ninjas, they couldn't possibly be a match for Iwagakure.
On the Konoha side, they also realized this point.
Some panicked sounds came from the crowd.
