"Thank you for your hard work these days."
Jiraiya nodded and said.
Jiraiya was quite happy that the fortress could be completed today.
Once the fortress is built and stores enough war supplies, Konoha can launch a full-scale attack on the Rain Country.
This way he can earn more merit.
It is definitely faster than waiting here and waiting for the Rain Country Ninja to come to you.
"Master Jiraiya, we are not tired at all. Compared to you, Master Jiraiya, we have it much easier."
Konoha Chūnin said quickly.
"Has the vanguard of the village arrived?"
Jiraiya asked.
Some time ago, the village sent someone to deliver a letter.
More than 500 ninjas will be sent to garrison this fortress, and more ninjas will be sent later.
"They have arrived at the fortress, and are also escorting a lot of important war supplies."
Konoha Chūnin replied.
"Now that the vanguard has arrived and the fortress has been built, it's time for me to return to the village."
Now there are so many Konoha Shinobi coming.
Plus, the fortress has been completed.
He has completed the initial test of the task assigned to him by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Even after he left, a large number of Rain Country ninjas sneaked in from the river.
It is also impossible to destroy this fortress.
Unless the Rain Country sends thousands of ninjas to attack this fortress, it is possible to destroy it.
But now the Rain Country is facing many powerful enemies, and they absolutely dare not send so many ninjas into the territory of the Fire Country.
Once these ninjas are annihilated.
The Rain Kingdom will suffer heavy losses.
Their country simply cannot afford such a loss.
You have to know that there are only more than 10,000 ninjas in the Rain Country.
If more than a thousand ninjas were lost, one-tenth of the military strength would be lost.
The leader of the Rain Country would never dare to take this risk.
Now the Rain Country has begun to shrink its forces and build fortresses in some important towns, intending to fight a protracted war with the three major countries and drag them into the quagmire of war.
Because they know the Rain Country well.
It is impossible for the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Earth, and the Kingdom of Fire to attack the Kingdom of Rain together.
There will definitely be friction between these three countries.
As long as conflicts break out among the three major countries.
Their Rain Country will have a chance to repel the invading enemy.
In the original work, it was the Konoha Shinobi who was in the Rain Country and defeated all the ninjas from the Wind Country and the Earth Country.
Let the ninjas from the Wind Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom retreat from the territory of the Rain Kingdom.
But Sannin was defeated by Hanzo again and had no choice but to sign a truce.
The battle in the Rain Kingdom ended here.
But World War II did not end, but instead escalated.
The Lightning Kingdom, which had never interfered with the Rain Kingdom, suddenly attacked the Earth Kingdom.
The Wind Kingdom provoked the Fire Kingdom at the border, but was defeated by the Fire Kingdom's ninjas and invaded the Wind Kingdom.
World War II also ended in this year.
The Lightning Nation and the Fire Nation are the victorious nations.
It took away many interests of the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind.
The reason why Konoha signed a ceasefire agreement with the Rain Country.
That's because, Konoha's ninjas had no way of defeating Hanzo, the leader of Rain Shinobi Village.
In the final battle between the Konoha Shinobi and the Rain Country, all of the Konoha Shinobi, except Sannin, were killed by Hanzo.
If Hanzo hadn't been afraid that killing the Sannin would lead to Konoha's intensified revenge, all the Sannin would have surely died.
Although in the original work, Hanzo thought that the Sannin were talented people and it would be a pity to kill them, so he spared their lives.
But if the situation allowed, how could Hanzo let go of the ninja who invaded their country?
The reason for letting Sannin go is still because they are afraid of the power behind Sannin.
The reason why the Rain Country was able to withstand Konoha's attack.
That is the Hokage and Konoha's real masters, who did not rush to the Rain Country, but stayed in the village to guard it.
If the Konoha Hokage and those real masters left the village and came to the Rain Country, Hanzo, who is known as the demigod, would really not be able to withstand it.
Since he has now traveled to the Hokage world.
Then Jiraiya must gain more benefits for Konoha to pave the way for him to become Hokage.
Then he can complete his goal of unifying the ninja.
If you want to prevent the chaotic ninjas from starting a war again, you still have to use absolute force to unify them.
Especially the Rain Country, which is sandwiched between three major countries.
If unification is not achieved, the Rain Country will always be mired in the quagmire of war.
I want to end this situation in the Rain Country.
The best solution is to annex it.
Jiraiya returned to the fortress.
The fortress built by Konoha here has a very large construction area. It is made entirely of huge stones and is pitch black in color. From a distance, it looks like a giant black beast.
Being able to build a fortress so quickly, it can be said that the ninjas who knew Earth Style ninjutsu made great contributions.
During the days of building the fortress, almost every day there were ninjas who were good at Earth Style and were too tired to move.
After entering the fortress, Jiraiya discovered that among these 500 ninjas, the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan made up a large part of them, and the rest were ninjas from small families or civilian ninjas.
The Uchiha ninjas are all very aloof and arrogant, each one of them is very cocky and occupies a place on their own in the fortress.
The ninjas of the Hyuga clan are not so aloof and stay in the same place as the other Konoha Shinobi.
The commander-in-chief of this vanguard team is an Elite Jōnin of the Uchiha clan!
Although the village leaders don't like the Uchiha clan now.
However, the Uchiha clan's combat effectiveness and combat command capabilities are still extremely strong.
"Jiraiya, when I came here, the Hokage-sama asked me to tell you that your mission is now over and you can return to the village."
The Elite Jōnin of the Uchiha clan saw Jiraiya walk into the castle and spoke to Jiraiya from a distance with a very cold attitude.
Jiraiya knew the character of the Uchiha clan ninjas.
Heaven is the eldest, Earth is second, and he is third.
It is precisely because of this character that Uchiha is guarded against by the village.
And the most important point is that if Uchiha wants to open his eyes, he must go through strong emotional stimulation to make the Sharingan open.
Therefore, every Uchiha has certain emotional flaws.
In certain situations, it is extremely dangerous.
Jiraiya nodded and started chatting enthusiastically with the civilian ninja.
If you want to become Hokage, you must have the support of civilian ninjas.
If he wants to gain the support of the major families, it's basically impossible. Unless Sarutobi Hiruzen personally orders the major families to support Jiraiya, otherwise when the Hokage vote is held, they basically will not choose a ninja of civilian origin.
Because when a ninja of civilian origin becomes Hokage, he will definitely weaken the major ninja clans to balance the resources of the village.
