The Land of Fire, Konoha Village.

The smoke of war from the Frost Country did not seem to spread to the land of the Fire Country. At this moment, the Konoha Village was still peaceful and tranquil. The laughter of children, the shouts of vendors, and the chatting of villagers weaved a peaceful picture.

On the rooftop of the Hokage office building in the core of Konoha Village, Hashirama Senju was wearing a loose green kimono. The autumn wind lifted his long black hair. With a warm smile on his face, he quietly watched everything in the village. This was also the scene he had been expecting in his dream.

“Master Hashirama, the people have arrived.”

At this moment, a cold voice sounded behind him, breaking the harmonious atmosphere.

Hashirama slowly turned his head and nodded slightly to this absolute confidant who had been with him for nearly thirty years, and said politely, “Sorry to have kept you waiting. Let’s go over there.”

“Um.”

Hashirama suddenly remembered something and asked, “By the way, hasn’t Tobirama come out yet? It’s been almost two months. I remember it wasn’t that long ago when he invented the Flying Thunder God Technique.”

Senju Momoka hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly, “Maybe this is also an S-level ninjutsu.”

“I hope it’s not some weird ninjutsu.”

……

The two walked into the building one after the other. Hashirama was the first to push open the door of the Hokage’s office. At this time, there were already two people waiting quietly in the room. One was the head of the Nara clan, Nara Shikasuke, and the other was the young head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Yuto.

When they saw Hashirama coming in, they immediately greeted him, “Hashirama-sama.”

Hashirama smiled and waved his hand, indicating that the two of them should not be so restrained, and then sat down on the chair behind the desk, while Momoka stood beside Hashirama skillfully.

Different from the peaceful atmosphere on the street, the atmosphere in the office seemed a bit solemn.

Hashirama rubbed his brows and spoke first, “What do you think about the invasion of the Frost Country by the Fire Country?”

In the entire ninja world, when it comes to reconnaissance capabilities, the Hyuga clan with the Byakugan is second to none, so there are many members from the Hyuga clan in the intelligence department of Konoha Village. As the clan leader, Hyuga Yuuto naturally knows more information, which is why Hashirama called him this time.

“Do you think they are trying to establish their authority?” Hinata Yuto said casually, “According to the intelligence from the border, the Uchiha clan has completely controlled the Fire Country’s daimyo’s mansion.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the Fire Country is already a toy in their hands, and the establishment of a ninja nation is bound to cause huge controversy.

I guess their action this time is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and the Frost Country is just the chicken.

”

Taohua frowned slightly and asked softly, “Did they destroy the peace agreement?”

“No.” Nara Shikasuke explained, “The peace agreement only requires the six major countries not to invade each other. The Flame Country’s attack on a small country outside the six countries does not theoretically violate the content of the agreement, and we have no legitimate reason to intervene. It’s just…”

“But what?”

Nara Shikasuke’s face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, “I always feel that yesterday’s war was just the beginning, and the Fire Country will not stop just like that.”

Hinata Yuto raised an eyebrow and said, “Still not stopping? What do they want to do? Are they trying to conquer the Frost Country?”

It’s no wonder he said that. In everyone’s perception, big countries will not take action against small countries unless in extreme circumstances.

First of all, small countries have limited resources, and the benefits after conquering them are not great. They also have to divert their attention to management, which is not in the interests of big countries.

The second and most important reason is that small countries are located between big countries, forming a good buffer zone. With this buffer zone, once a war breaks out between big countries, the battlefield can be placed on the territories of these small countries, thereby reducing their own losses.

This is also the sorrow of small countries. It is like holding a deadly amulet and always living under the shadow of big countries.

Small countries are not included in the peace agreement because no one thinks that big countries will kill small countries.

Nara Shikasuke’s eyes were deep. “But don’t forget one thing. Geographically speaking, the Kingdom of Fire is a small country. It’s just that the existence of powerful families like the Uchiha clan makes us subconsciously ignore this point.”

Qianju Taohua was stunned for a moment, and obviously thought of something, and murmured, “You mean…”

“That’s right.” Shikasuke nodded and said in a deep voice, “They are expanding their territory.”

“Conquer small countries to expand their territory? Aren’t they fools?” Hinata Yuto blurted out, “Even if they conquer all the small countries, they will be surrounded by four big countries. Wouldn’t they be at the mercy of others?”

“But just like you said, what would happen if we defeated them? We can only divide up the land of those small countries. It would be better for us to fight those small countries ourselves.”

“This…” Hinata Yuto was speechless for a moment.

Nara Shikasuke continued, “They are like a gambler who has nothing. As long as he can win money, he wins. But we are wealthy businessmen with a fortune. We have to consider our gains and losses.”

“And once we border the four major countries, no one can predict who they will attack. Four wolves can indeed kill a tiger, but the tiger will definitely take one or even two wolves with it before it dies. So, no one will be willing to be the first to stand out.”

Hinata Yuuto immediately grumbled in dissatisfaction, “Hey, hey, hey! Why are they tigers and we are wolves? We are no worse than them.”

Nara Shikasuke covered his face speechlessly, “I was just making an analogy. The four major countries are unable to work together, and they all want to reap the benefits. Instead, they are not as free as they want.”

“What should we do? Take the initiative and attack them before they gain momentum?”

Senju Momoka shook her head, “But in this case, we will be the ones who break the agreement.”

“This is not okay, and that is not okay. Are we just going to watch them swallow up all the land of the small country?”

Nara Shikasuke sighed, “This is an open conspiracy. Even if we can see through it, there is nothing we can do about it. Once they gain momentum, their next target will definitely be one of our four great powers.”

“You guys think… could this be a misunderstanding?”

At this moment, Hashirama, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, “Could it be that, as we said at the beginning, there is just a personal conflict between the two countries?”

Shikasuke pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, “Did the three Uchiha Madara brothers appear on the battlefield?”

Seeing Shikasuke’s unusually serious expression, Yuto was stunned for a moment, then he recalled seriously, “According to the intelligence sent back, the three of them did not show up, and most of the people attacking the city were ordinary people, not ninjas.”

Shikasuke’s expression was complicated. “If they didn’t show up on the battlefield, then I’m sure they weren’t having a personal grudge.”

Hashirama still felt a little unwilling, “Why?”

“It’s just to vent anger. If the three Uchiha heads take action, wouldn’t it be easier to solve the problem? If they don’t take action, there is only one possibility. They are using this as a way to… train their troops.”

Boom boom boom——

Before everyone could digest this news, there was a rapid knock on the door, and then a ninja dressed as an intelligence officer pushed the door open hastily and shouted:

“Hokage-sama, we just received information from the border that the Kingdom of Fire has launched an attack on the Kingdom of Grass!”
