The country of wind, the desert Gobi.

The kingdom of water, the islands on the sea!

The Land of Earth, the Desolate Rock Wall!

The Land of Thunder, the Plateau and Mountains!

Such an environment makes it very difficult for them to obtain resources.

The Fire Nation is a land of hills and plains, with spring-like weather all year round. The excellent terrain makes the Fire Nation the richest country in the world, but it also makes it always coveted by the surrounding big countries.

Therefore, the Daimyo of the Fire Country reached an agreement with the Hokage of Konoha Village. Konoha Village would protect the Fire Country from invasion by other big countries, and the Daimyo of the Fire Country would be responsible for the financial expenses of Konoha Village and a large number of ninja missions in the Fire Country.

In order to protect the Land of Fire from being plundered by the other four nations, Konoha Village has to deal with enemies from four directions every time.

Among the four major countries, the most active ones in invading the Fire Country are the Wind, Earth, and Thunder countries.

The circumstances of the three countries forced them to start a war.

If the war is won, sufficient resources will be seized from the Fire Nation. If the war is lost, a group of people that the country can no longer afford will be consumed.

For them, attacking the Fire Nation is a sure win.

Especially the Kingdom of Wind!

Even after losing the war, the Fire Nation had no interest in their land, after all, it was covered with yellow sand.

The border of the Fire Nation!
A middle-aged man with brown hair and neat sideburns, his head and right eye wrapped in bandages, a fork-shaped scar on his chin, and a gloomy face, walked slowly out of the crowd with a cane, looked at the Yunyin army camp in the distance, and then walked back to his command tent.

He is none other than Danzo Shimura who had just won the Fifth Generation election.

"The Fourth Raikage wants to see me?" A hint of suspicion flashed across Shimura Danzo's slender eye.

"That's right!" Aburame Ryoma replied respectfully.

Danzo Shimura has completely exposed all the secrets of the Root. Aburame Ryoma is a ninja of the Aburame family and also the vice-minister of the Root. It can be said that his power is second only to him.

This time he even brought out the deputy minister's Aburame Ryoma, which is enough to show how much he values ​​this battle.

"Lord Danzo! I suspect that the Uchiha and Hyuga have long known that the Raikage has sent troops to Konoha, and are deliberately plotting against us." Aburame Ryoma looked around and saw that there were only him and Danzo around, and immediately told Danzo his guess.

"No matter whether it is a conspiracy or not, I will win this battle." Shimura Danzo said in a firm tone.

As long as he wins this battle, his position as the Fifth Hokage will be secured.

He obtained the information about the Raikage launching a war earlier than the Third Hokage. Originally, he planned to use this incident to trap the Third Hokage and the Uchiha clan, thereby getting himself out of the way and continuing to achieve his goal of watching the fire from the other side of the river.

but,

He had not expected that this time the Uchiha and Hyuga would give him such a favor and directly push him to the position of the Fifth Hokage. He naturally knew that the position of Hokage was like poisoned honey.

“Even if this is a trap set for me by old ghost Setsuna, as long as I operate it well, I can eat the bait he throws out and get away safely.” Danzo said with an inexplicable glow in his eyes.

"But Lord Danzo, the Raikage Ai is not easy to deal with!"

"According to the records about the Fourth Raikage Ai left by the Fourth Hokage in the village, Raikage Ai can match the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God in speed with his ninjutsu. I'm afraid he will be difficult to deal with." Aburame Ryoma frowned and said.

Shimura Danzo thought for a while and said, "It's no big deal."

"No matter how powerful the Fourth Raikage Ai is, can he be more powerful than the Third Raikage Ai?"

“As powerful as the Third Raikage was, he was killed by that old bastard Ohnoki with tens of thousands of ninjas. I don’t believe that the Fourth Raikage is more difficult to kill than the Third Raikage.” “If ten thousand ninjas can’t kill the Fourth Raikage, then twenty thousand, thirty thousand, a hundred thousand…”

"What Konoha lacks the least is ninjas." Danzo Shimura said coldly.

Aburame Ryoma hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Then, Lord Danzo, should we go to the appointment?"

After hearing this, Danzo Shimura also began to think.

Even though Danzo Shimura spoke so domineeringly, he was actually still very afraid of the Raikage.

The Third Raikage Ai and the Fourth Raikage Ai both practiced the same set of ninjutsu, but the directions of their development were very different.

The third Raikage Ai pursued the ultimate defense and ultimate penetration, so he had the title of the strongest spear and the strongest shield.

It was precisely because of his strong defensive power that he was able to fight to the death for three days and three nights and finally die of exhaustion despite being surrounded by tens of thousands of ninjas.

The fourth Raikage Ai's training direction is biased towards speed.

It was precisely because of the speed that Danzo hesitated about whether or not to meet with the Fourth Raikage Ai.

The Fourth Raikage is similar to the Fourth Minato Namikaze, both of them believe that the only way to defeat martial arts is to be faster.

Therefore, the destructive power of their attacks may not be very strong, but their speed is really fast.

It was almost the point where the regular ninjas in this world were nothing but losers in front of them.

And Danzo is just an ordinary ninja.

If he really came face to face with Raikage Ai, his physical skills would be completely suppressed, and he wouldn't be able to even perform hand seals with his ninjutsu, and would be beheaded with a single knife strike.

Danzo took a deep breath and said, "Send someone to tell the Raikage that I agree to the invitation and will attend the appointment on time."

When Aburame Ryoma heard this, he immediately said worriedly: "Master Danzo, how about I transform into your appearance and go there!"

Danzo shook his head and said, "Since I am the fifth generation, I naturally have to meet the fourth generation, the Raikage."

"We are all shadows, how can I be afraid of him?"

After hearing this, Aburame Ryoma could only turn around and leave to arrange a meeting between Danzo and Raikage Ai.

······
Of the Uchiha clan.

When Wang Ming was teaching Sasuke to practice fairy arts, Uchiha Yashiro walked into the attic on the high tower and conveyed the demands of Uchiha Tetsuka and others to Wang Ming.

Uchiha Sasuke, who heard this, clenched his palms so tightly that his nails almost pierced through his palms, and there was no sign of relaxing. His hatred for Uchiha Itachi became even stronger, and at the same time, he felt a strong sense of guilt towards his family members.

Wang Ming, sitting upright on a high-backed wooden chair, listened quietly to the report of the Eighth Generation. His left hand, placed on the smooth armrest of the chair, tapped lightly on the armrest, and began to think about Tiehuo and the others' request to fight.

Wang Ming was very pleased that the Uchiha group of lunatics who opened the Mangekyo wanted to take revenge and even knew to ask him for instructions.

After thinking for a while, he said seriously: "Revenge is what we should do."

"They wanted revenge, and I agreed."

"But they need to follow my orders on when to go out."

After Wang Ming finished speaking, he looked towards the distant sky and thought to himself, "It's just right for me to collect a tailed beast and start my plan ahead of time." (End of this chapter)
