Orochimaru glanced at the other containers containing the test subjects and said with some regret, "It's a pity that Zero Tail hasn't been activated yet, so my experiment can only be interrupted." ”

Rope Tree said disapprerovingly: "The area of the cell is limited, and the dark spiritual energy needs to be collected slowly. When this battle is over, it should be possible to hold a ceremony for Zero. Naturally, there will be plenty of time to experiment. ”

"Alright, it's time for us to go. There's also an all-hands combat meeting waiting for you tonight. Rope Tree put his right hand on Orochimaru's shoulder, and his left hand was sealed, and in an instant, the two of them used the Flying Thunder God technique to teleport to the Konoha command camp.

……

The next day, Konoha finally spoke to the ninja world again after nearly two months of silence:

"Since the establishment of the village, Konoha has been trying his best to maintain peace in the ninja world, and he deeply regrets the war with his country, and has called on the three parties to remain calm more than once, but unfortunately with little success.

Now the civilians of the entire Land of Rain are in dire straits because of the war between the ninja villages. Recently, out of the spirit of humanitarianism, Konoha has helped the civilians of the suffering Land of Rain, providing them with a safe place of refuge, and rescuing a large number of people who have been devastated by the war.

However, yesterday, the ruler of the Land of Rain ordered a blockade of the border to obstruct Konoha's humanitarian aid, forcibly depriving the people of their right to live freely.

Konoha Village strongly condemns this dictatorial and hegemonic act of the government of the Land of Rain, and demands that the ruler of the Land of Rain revoke this absurd order within one day. If no response is made within the time limit, Konoha will use force to save the suffering people of the Land of Rain. ”

As soon as this diplomatic statement from Konoha Village came out, the entire ninja world looked sideways.

After reading it carefully, everyone found that where is this diplomatic statement? Is it clearly a declaration of war?

Now even fools in the entire ninja world know that it is impossible for Hanzo to agree to Konoha such conditions, and war between the two countries is inevitable.

It's just that when they saw the high-sounding reason that Konoha came up with for the war, everyone was very speechless.

We are waging war to maintain world peace and to save the suffering civilians of your country!

This casus belli...... Not only is it unheard of in the entire ninja world, but it's also very good and powerful! Who made your rain country unable to keep even the civilians of your own country, and to resort to such crude and clumsy coercive measures? Is there a problem for Konoha to accept civilians who want to be in his heart now?

No problem! No problem at all...... What a ghost!

Konoha This is another lesson for all the countries in the ninja world, making them realize the importance of publicizing public opinion. What if one day the civilians of the country are also instigated and fooled like the country of rain, and there is chaos inside, and there are strong enemies on the outside, then you will not die?

The high-level officials of all countries ordered to strengthen propaganda work as soon as possible, and they must completely control and manage domestic public opinion, and learn from Konoha in an all-round way, which is the spiritual battlefield.

As for the Land of Rain? No one cares anymore, almost everyone thinks that this country is over this time, and at the same time, facing the attack of the three major ninja villages, let alone the demigods, even if the god of the ninja world is reincarnated, there is no way to save the country.

What's more, the discerning people have now seen that the Land of Rain has been calculated by Konoha from beginning to end, starting with the economic blockade, then the invasion of the wind and the earth, and then the later immigration and now this war book, there is an invisible black hand behind all this, who else can this person have besides the Skywalker of Konoha?

Now everyone wonders if the Land of Rain will become the second country to be destroyed in this war? After all, the previous empty country was just an accident, and the rain country was a long-planned goal of Skywalker.

The statement from Konoha was indeed made by Rope Tree, but his plan was not as simple as others thought.

After this statement was issued, Hanzo, who had a premonition, secretly said in his heart that this was indeed the case, he had already been prepared for Konoha's actions, and there were 5,000 people in Yunin who were sent to the border by him, in addition to blocking the border, it was also to prevent Konoha's surprise attack.

Although the number of troops is tight, because the three sides have recently reduced the intensity of the war in order to preserve their strength, Hanzo was able to draw so many troops.

Of course, he didn't expect five thousand ninjas to be able to stop Konoha's army of seventy thousand, these people were just used to delay the time.

However, he didn't expect that Skywalker did not use the usual means of raiding, but issued a battle letter openly, giving him a day to prepare.

Now that Konoha's letter of war came out, the entire Rain Country was in a state of panic, and even the morale of the Rain Ninja who resisted the Sand Ninja and Iwa Shinobi with Hanzo had dropped significantly, and the five thousand ninjas on the southern border were definitely even better.

Therefore, Hanzo quickly realized that this battle letter was also a ploy of Skywalker, and the effect was better than a direct raid, which was to break the fighting spirit of Yuyin Village, and the longer time passed, the lower the morale became.

Even Hanzo himself was now in a dilemma, and he didn't know whether he should lead his troops south to resist or whether he should continue to guard against Sha Yin and Iwakuku. If the troops are divided for defense, how should the troops be arranged? For a while, the determined-minded demigod Hanzo fell into a long-lost confusion.

That morning, Hanzo locked himself in his room and pondered, but he never made up his mind, but three secret letters from his subordinates helped him make a decision.

Two of the three letters came from Sand and Iwakure, which was unexpected, and the last letter with the Konoha mark was unexpected.

What does Konoha mean by this, why did he send a secret letter just after declaring war?

Hanzo took the three scrolls in his hand thoughtfully, these three scrolls had been strictly inspected, and there were no traps or poisons.

Hanzo first opened two secret letters from the village of Sand and Iwakuin, the contents of which were much the same, nothing more than condescending to persuade him to surrender, and promised not to intervene in the next war between the village and Konoha, so that he could resist the attack from the south with all his strength.

That's right, after receiving Konoha's statement, Sand and Iwakuin abandoned their original attack plan, and they also wanted to take advantage of the fisherman, to be precise, to use Konoha to defeat Yuyin Village, and then unite to resist Konoha.

Hanzo naturally scoffed at these two secret letters, the two ninja villages were under the guise of letting Yuyin consume Konoha strength, once Yuyin Village was at a disadvantage, they would inevitably attack and repeat the bandit behavior in the north of the rain country.

Compared to the fierce tiger of Konoha, these two hungry wolves are even more hateful, but Hanzo can be sure that they will not take the initiative to attack at least in the short term, so that he can concentrate most of his forces to deal with the Skywalker in the south, as for what happens after that, he can only take one step at a time.

Even if the Land of Rain really fails, he will never give in to the demigod Hanzo. He was sure that with his own strength and guerrilla tactics, if he let go of everything and retaliated with all his might, even Konoha would not be able to bear the loss.

At that time, the three major ninja villages can only compromise, even if the entire rain country is ruined, as long as he is still a demigod and half hidden, the rain country will still be there!

At this moment, Hanzo's originally shaken heart was firm again.

Although he had already made up his mind, he opened the last scroll from Konoha, and he was curious about Skywalker's reason for surrendering.

Looking at the contents of the scroll, Hanzo's eyes widened and widened, and then he couldn't even close his mouth. What exactly did the rope tree write that surprised him so much?
