Chapter 113 The Grand Master's Long-Term Plan
The moon reflected in the water is in a state of intense inner turmoil.
Yukinojo's plan to "attack the Land of Whirlpools" was like a fruit filled with deadly temptation, placed before him.
Reason told him that this was the most efficient and least risky solution to the village's predicament.
A small, peaceful country that focuses on researching sealing techniques is practically a piece of cake for Kirigakure, a village known for its elite members.
If we act quickly enough, we can get what they want before Konoha can react, and then quickly leave.
Even if Konoha is furious, would they really go to great lengths to cross the sea and start a full-scale war against Kirigakure for an ally that has already been wiped out?
The possibility is very small.
However, emotionally, he could never make up his mind to do so.
The image of that man always involuntarily appears in my mind.
Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The man who, during the Second Shinobi World War, manipulated the three great ninja villages with almost supernatural and unpredictable methods.
The man who single-handedly confronted the Third Raikage head-on and ultimately forced him to sign a humiliating settlement.
Wouldn't attacking his allies really provoke a reaction from him?
Mito Uzumaki, the wife of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, came from the Uzumaki clan of the Land of Whirlpools.
The bond between Konoha and the Land of Whirlpools is far deeper than it appears on the surface.
just in case……
If Hiruzen Sarutobi were to launch a war at any cost for the sake of the Land of Whirlpools, could Kirigakure truly withstand the wrath of Konoha?
Unbeknownst to them, a fine layer of cold sweat had already seeped out from Jian Yue's back.
He looked at everyone present. Kaguya Soranosuke's eyes were filled with undisguised bloodlust, while Yukinojo wore an elegant smile that suggested he had everything under control.
The atmosphere in the entire conference room had been pushed to a dangerous edge.
As the water shadow, he had to make a decision.
"Chief of the Yukinojo Clan".
Jian Yue spoke slowly, her voice still steady, "Your plan is indeed perfect."
"However, you've overlooked the most crucial point."
"Oh?"
Yukinojo raised an eyebrow and asked elegantly, "I would like to hear the details, Lord Mizukage."
"Konoha's reaction."
Mizuki said, word by word, "None of us can predict how Hiruzen Sarutobi will react when we take action against the Land of Whirlpools."
"If he chooses to go to war, who will bear the responsibility?"
These words instantly cooled the previously lively atmosphere in the conference room.
Kaguya Sonosuke curled her lip in disdain, wanting to say something, but seeing the Mizukage's solemn expression, she swallowed her words.
Just when things were at a standstill again.
A voice full of wisdom slowly rang out.
"Lord Mizukage's concerns are valid."
It was Master Yuan who spoke, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.
He first agreed with the Water Shadow's concerns, and then said slowly, "Therefore, we cannot act alone."
"Hmm?" Jian Yue raised an eyebrow and looked at him.
Yuan Shi did not answer immediately; he stood up and walked to the huge map of the ninja world.
"Clan Chief Yukinojo's plan is feasible."
"But we need to add something."
Master Yuan pointed his finger and slammed it down on the northeast corner of the map.
That mountain range is shrouded in thunderclouds year-round.
"We need an ally."
"An ally who shares our needs, and harbors a deep-seated hatred for Konoha."
"Hidden Cloud Village"
Master Yuan's voice wasn't loud, but every word he uttered stirred up a huge wave of emotions.
To win over Yunyin?
Kaguya Soranosuke and Yukinojo exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
They never expected that this guy who always disagreed would come up with a plan that was even crazier and bolder than theirs.
"Master Yuan, you mean...?"
Jian Yue's voice carried a hint of excitement.
"That's right."
Master Yuan nodded, a sly smile spreading across his face.
"The Third Raikage, A, that arrogant man, also has two tailed beasts in his village that he cannot perfectly control—the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails. His desire for advanced sealing techniques is no less than ours."
"More importantly,"
A cold glint flashed in Yuan Shi's eyes. "Just recently, he personally led the main force of Kumogakure in a surprise attack on Konoha. And what was the result? He was utterly defeated by Hiruzen Sarutobi alone, suffering a crushing defeat and forced to sign a humiliating compensation agreement."
"Given the Third Raikage's arrogant personality, would he swallow this humiliation? Right now, he wants to get revenge more than anyone else."
"At this time, our Hidden Mist Village extends an olive branch to him, telling him that there is an opportunity to avenge his humiliation and obtain what he desires most. Do you think the Third Raikage will refuse?"
Master Yuan looked around at everyone, his voice becoming firm and powerful.
"There's a high chance he'll agree!"
"At that time, our two great ninja villages, Kirigakure and Kumogakure, will join forces and attack the Land of Whirlpools at the same time."
"After it's done, we will 'share' the sealing technique."
"This is the truly foolproof plan!"
A near-perfect open conspiracy that takes into account everyone's interests and desires!
The conference room erupted in cheers.
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant, Master Yuan!"
"You're ruthless! I like it!"
Yukinojo clapped gracefully, his emerald eyes filled with admiration for the old man.
As Yue looked at the map, her brain was working at lightning speed.
The fog hides, the clouds hide, they join forces.
This plan has minimized almost all risks.
The success rate is almost 100%.
The last vestige of doubt in his heart vanished completely.
"Good! What a great example of 'the law doesn't punish everyone'!"
Jian Yue slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly, her eyes gleaming. "That's it!"
"Master, what about the person to be sent as an envoy to Cloud Village...?"
"I am willing to go there myself."
Before he could finish speaking, Master Yuan volunteered, his eyes seemingly seeing the future of the village's growth and prosperity in an instant. "This old man of mine can still do things for the village."
Seeing the resolute look in Yuan Shi's eyes, Jian Yue felt a surge of emotion.
He knew that his old friend, who had dedicated his life to the village, would once again use his wisdom to pry open a brand new future for Wuyin Village.
"good!"
Jian Yue nodded heavily, her voice loud and clear, echoing throughout the entire conference room.
"That's settled then!"
