time flies.

The situation in the battlefield of Yunokuni in Konoha and Kumogakure Village has gradually stabilized.

Collisions of various sizes between them occurred all the time. The Kirigakure Village, which made both Jiraiya and Minato feel a little frightened at first, still did not take action after all, as if they just came to the mainland for a few rounds.

While frightening Konoha, it also frightened the ninja army in Hidden Cloud Village.

Konoha thought that Kumogakure Village had the upper hand and chose to join forces with Kirigakure Village, while Kumogakure Village thought that Konoha used some means to pull Kirigakure Village into their chariot.

After all, a mist ninja appeared in the Kingdom of Thunder at that time, and controlled the Three-Tails to attack Ai, the son of the Third Raikage, and Kirabi, who transformed into the Eight-Tails.

As a result, Kirabi was forcibly exposed to the Eight-Tails chakra mode and was in a coma for two days. The Eight-Tails also forcibly ate two tailed beast jade, which caused him to feel depressed for a period of time.

So Yunyin Village was shocked.

When the two parties finally learned that Kirigakure Village was here to make soy sauce, the leaders of each party took a long breath and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads due to fear and worry.

When people on both sides confirmed the situation, it was already a month later.

This month will undoubtedly provide Konoha's ninja army with more buffer opportunities.

At the same time, Shimura Danzo succeeded Jiraiya as the battlefield commander.

Although Jiraiya couldn't wait to see him, he still needed to admit that compared to him, Shimura Danzo was still a little better at setting up and coordinating the battlefield.

It's not that Jiraiya's abilities are inferior to him, it's just that Jiraiya has a better bottom line than him when it comes to doing things and making decisions.

Danzo's system is absolutely cold-blooded. Everything is done to achieve the goal, even if it will cause a lot of casualties in order to achieve the goal.

Give the simplest example.

When a team from Konoha was performing a mission on the battlefield, they were surrounded by ninjas from Kumogakure Village, and their lives were in danger.

If it was Jiraiya, he would definitely send some support teams, or simply himself or Minato, one of the two would go out to support.

But in this case, there is a high probability that the Cloud Hidden Village is actually fishing. They first surrounded a Konoha team, and then released a message to ask Konoha people to rescue them. At the same time, they laid some traps or traps around them.

Arrange more manpower.

They did not attack the trapped team, but exclusively dealt with the Konoha ninjas who came to support them.

This is a very typical "encirclement and reinforcements" approach. The thought of seizing Konoha ninjas will not abandon their companions, causing varying degrees of consumption to Konoha.

This move has been tried and tested by the ninjas of Yunyin Village many times.

But after Danzo came to power, he would never send a rescue force. According to his words, "Since you are on the battlefield, you must be prepared to face death at any time. I believe they are not willing to watch their companions fight for their own sake."

And one by one they came forward to die."

Therefore, generally speaking, Danzo's decision is to send a small team to attack some of the weak points of Yunyin Village and save what must be saved.

This is similar to a tactic of "surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao". If in this situation, the trapped Konoha team can seize the opportunity to escape, then it is naturally very promising, but even if they cannot escape, Danzo

The decision will definitely make the Kumo ninjas suffer greater losses than Konoha.

And this is the difference between Jiraiya and Danzo.

Danzo can be absolutely cold-blooded and calm, and will not be affected by some emotions, so even though many people have become increasingly unhappy with him after he made his decision, it has to be said that Konoha's ninja army is indeed

It was in front of the ninja army in Yunyin Village that he gradually established a firm foothold and was able to barely manage to come back.

Some of the strategies that had worked well against Jiraiya in the first place were ineffective when it came to Danzo.

Even knowing that his side is no match for the Cloud Ninja army, whenever the Cloud Ninjas want to seize the opportunity to launch a full-scale attack, Danzo can always use some extraordinary means to resolve it.

For example, he remained unmoved when he saw the entire Konoha squadron of dozens of people being killed.

They even dispatched the dead soldiers from the root to execute a plan similar to what Minato and Toneri had executed before.

Compared to Minato and Toneri, their strength is much weaker, but their methods are crisper and more bloody. Wherever they go, there will definitely be no growth.

This made the cloud people so angry that they immediately focused their main attention on their rear.

Move and relocate some residents in the Kingdom of Thunder.

It's a pity that the root ninjas of Konoha, under Danzo's order, did not expect to come back after being dispatched. No matter how hard the Kumo ninjas took precautions, it was of no use, and there would still be losses that should have been incurred.

It is precisely because of this, and because of Danzo's cold-blooded ruthlessness, that Konoha's ninja army finally gained a firm foothold on the battlefield of Yuno Country.

Many ninjas are not very fond of Danzo secretly, but they have to say that in the face of such a huge gap in strength, as long as they can hold on, it will be enough.

So even Jiraiya, as the deputy commander, almost couldn't help but push Danzo to the ground and beat him many times, but he held back.

Because he knew that here, they couldn't lose. Once they lost, Konoha might really be over.

Danzo, who is absolutely rational, is more suitable to become this iron-blooded commander than one of the emotional Sannin.

Facts have also proved that Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision was not wrong. Danzo Shimura is indeed more suitable here than Jiraiya.

If the strengths of both sides are equal, Jiraiya is definitely more suitable, because his management style and decision-making will make other ninjas have a stronger and stronger sense of identification with him, their cohesion will become stronger and stronger, and the combat power they can unleash will also increase.

will be stronger.

But when Konoha is at an absolute disadvantage, Danzo is more suitable than Jiraiya. His cold-blooded methods will not give the Cloud ninjas any chance to launch a general attack on the Konoha ninja army.

The Kumo ninja's dislike for Danzo also skyrocketed instantly, surpassing that of Jiraiya, the yellow flashing Namikaze Minato, and the Konohagakure Neko Tamato who hadn't appeared in a long time.

Speaking of Toneri, Minato, who felt guilty, finally found an opportunity to return to the Land of Thunder.

It's just that the Flying Thunder God Kunai he left to Toneri was placed in a corner, and there was no trace of Toneri around.

What was left behind after Minato left was the horrifically destroyed site in that area, which even changed the landscape to a certain extent.

Even just looking at the destruction, one can imagine how brutal the battle was.

And to Minato's surprise, in addition to the two tails of the Eight-Tails and Toneri, there seemed to be an equally huge giant beast appearing.

But no matter how much he speculated, it became a fact that Toneri disappeared and disappeared.

Just missing does not mean death. The resentful Minato felt more and more guilty towards Toneri. At the same time, he also felt some resentment towards Danzo who prevented him from going out.

Facts have proved that at that time, the Kumo ninjas were just like them, worried about the emergence of Kirigakure Village, and were a little timid.

In the end, Minato could only believe what Jiraiya said, that with his character and ability, he would not die.

Pass the news of his disappearance back to Konoha.

After learning about the situation, Sarutobi Hiruzen also wrote a letter criticizing Danzo's actions.

But that's all, Danzo should do whatever he wants. He himself thinks that he has no problem with his original decision.

Standing on the side of righteousness, he occupies the commanding heights.

Even though he was not really worried about the Kumo Ninja and the Mist Ninja, he just felt that Toneri's sword was getting sharper and sharper, and he began to feel a little unable to handle it, and had the idea of ​​destroying him.

Unlike Orochimaru, even if Orochimaru is a poisonous snake that can bite him back at any time, Danzo still has the handle on Orochimaru. As long as he is willing, there is no way Orochimaru can take the position of Hokage.

But Sheren is different, he hides it too well.

As Sarutobi Hiruzen heard the name "Toneri" more and more often, Danzo's sense of crisis became more and more serious.

Only then did he realize that those who could compete with him for the position of Hokage in the future were not only Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciple Orochimaru, but also his two disciples, Konoha Aang Nekotama and Yellow Flash Wave Feng Shuimon.

.

After getting rid of one Hatake Sakumo, two people appeared. It is understandable that Danzo was in a bad mood.

...

...

Even Toneri, who has been hiding in the laboratory, still has some understanding of the situation on the battlefield in Yuno Country.

Knowing that Danzo had succeeded Jiraiya in controlling the Konoha ninja army, he also knew many of the decisions Danzo had made.

Although he didn't like Danzo, Toneri had to admire some of Danzo's decisions.

Just like he created Konoha Roots, even though it was for his own selfish reasons, he cannot deny the roots' contribution to Konoha.

Just like him this time, even though many people began to hate him, they could not deny that he had eased the decline of the Konoha ninja army during this period.

"Did this old guy Danzo finally start to murder me?

That's fine, I actually wanted to deal with him a long time ago, but I didn't have any good excuse." Toneri was packing up the things in the temporary laboratory, muttering to himself.

He has been here for a long time, and some of the experiments he was eager to do have been completed by now. Moreover, it is now a war period, and it is impossible to give him unlimited time to consume.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Konoha finally supported the first wave of attacks on the three hidden villages.

However, the overall situation is still not optimistic, especially the sudden appearance of Kirigakure Village, which shocked Konoha.

At the same time, they had to devote part of their attention to the movements of Kirigakure Village, and sent out as many ninjas as possible across a large sea area with the intention of entering Kirigakure Village to find out whether there were opportunities to bring about a settlement between Konoha and Kirigakure.

Alliance of Villages.

If this thing can be done, it will undoubtedly be a shot in the arm for Konoha, and the pressure will slowly shift to the other three hidden villages.

Of course, the other three Hidden Villages must also be trying to find suitable opportunities to contact Kirigakure Village.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Toneri showed a playful smile.

"I didn't expect that this old guy Onoki is the same old Yinbi as Danzo, but it is true that this matter cannot be solved 100% by Kakuzu alone."

The letter in Toneri's hand is exactly the message sent to him through a cat by Kakuzu of the Kasumi organization he founded, which is hidden in Tianno country.
