"But, doesn't that mean we ourselves are leaking the information that the Third Kazekage has disappeared?"
"Do you have a better solution?"
Chiyo stared disdainfully at the other person and sneered, "News can be blocked temporarily, but it can't be sustained indefinitely. Otherwise, suspicion will arise sooner or later.
We can only make preparations with both hands, but on the day we can't block it anymore, we can even push the responsibility onto other countries, like Konoha!"
Compared to the others, Chiyo undoubtedly saw further ahead. The Third Kazekage had been missing for more than ten days!
The Shadow of a village had been missing for ten days without any appearance. Chiyo knew very well what this meant. It was enough to prove that the Third Kazekage had been assassinated. As for who did it, did that matter?
If investigated, Danzo is really not a good target.
If it really came to that step, don't blame me for being ruthless!
Chiyo narrowed her eyes, making her already small eyes look even narrower.
If the news leaked, then in addition to facing the turmoil that was about to come, the village would need to find a target for the villagers to vent their anger on, and Konoha was the most suitable target.
At that time, they could completely shift all suspicion onto Konoha. Simply put, pin the blame on them. Then, taking advantage of the great opportunity to engage in a war of words, they could elect a suitable Fourth Kazekage and stabilize the village.
Unfortunately, what Chiyo didn't expect was that Obito would start the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Blocking the news also had its limits. It might work for a short time, but if it was a long time, it would eventually show flaws. The Shadow of a village hadn't appeared for a long time. Was that reasonable?
Not to mention the common people, even the ninja in the village would be suspicious.
One order after another was quickly issued, ordering the Sand ninja, who were at a loss, to continue to increase their search efforts. The Sand ninja side increased the intensity of their search, which made Konoha even more nervous. Almost as soon as a Sand ninja approached the border, a Konoha ninja would follow.
This also made those Sand ninja very angry, feeling that the Konoha ninja were like chewing gum, following them wherever they went, as if they were staring at thieves.
In such a tense atmosphere, time slowly passed. Finally, one day, war broke out.
Several Sand ninja entered the Land of Fire, and as a result, they encountered patrolling Konoha ninja, and a fierce battle immediately broke out.
The battle broke out, and both sides sent out requests for reinforcements. As a result, a large number of Sand ninja entered the Land of Fire, and a large number of Konoha ninja also went to support, which led to the battle becoming even more serious.
The final result was that both sides suffered casualties. Finally, the Sand ninja retreated from the border of the Land of Fire, and the Konoha ninja were all angry.
As a result, the two sides entered a stalemate, but the news of the Third Kazekage's disappearance became the final fuse.
Under duress, the Sand ninja began to slander Konoha, and various suspicions arose. Konoha was unreasonably subjected to this suspicion. Naturally, Konoha would not acquiesce, so they stood up and clarified.
Instantly, the two sides were very lively, attracting the attention of the entire world.
While taking advantage of the war of words between the two sides, Chiyo secretly began to select candidates for the Fourth Kazekage.
At this time, on the border of the Land of Fire, it directly evolved into a situation where the two sides constantly provoked each other. The Sand ninja said that Konoha had assassinated the Third Kazekage, while Konoha scolded the Sand ninja for talking nonsense, relying on people without any factual basis. Under the excessive verbal stimulation, the battle broke out again.
"Lord Ronglin, a large number of Sand ninja are fighting with our side. Please go and support us!"
Ronglin, who had been staying on the border, quietly watching the development of the situation, responded softly.
"Finally, it's starting."
Ronglin smiled coldly and headed towards the battlefield.
The battle broke out on the territory of the Land of Rivers, which was sandwiched between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind.
"Everyone hold on, Uchiha Ronglin has come to support us!"
The border was closer to the Land of Fire, and with the arrival of reinforcements in time, Hokage arrived in the shortest time.
"Uchiha Ronglin has arrived!"
When Ronglin arrived at the battlefield, the Konoha ninja cheered, looking at the Sand ninja with ill intentions.
The battle was very chaotic. The number of people on both sides exceeded thirty, and the battle was divided into several small areas, with people of various strengths gathered together, causing the battle to become very chaotic.
"Everyone hold on, our reinforcements are coming soon!"
The Konoha side's reinforcements arrived, making the Sand ninja nervous. Ronglin's name gradually spread. The Sand ninja knew he was not easy to provoke, and now Ronglin had appeared on the battlefield.
"There really are quite a few of them."
Looking at the chaotic area in front of him, Ronglin smiled and walked into the battlefield, looking at the Sand ninja who were more or less injured.
"Everyone, gather!"
Ronglin had arrived. The Konoha ninja seemed to have found their backbone. They stopped fighting, came to Ronglin's side, and glared at those Sand ninja.
"What's the situation?"
Ronglin didn't take action immediately.
"Lord, these Sand ninja are too deceitful. They're even blaming our Konoha for assassinating the Third Kazekage!"
"Bah! These bastards only know how to slander people!"
"That's right, even the Kazekage was assassinated. It's conceivable how trash the people of the Sand Village are."
With many people talking at once, Ronglin opened his mouth to inquire, directly causing the Konoha ninja, who had been holding their anger in their chests, to scold him, one after another.
The assassination of the Third Kazekage had basically become a fact. This was originally a pain in the heart of the Sand ninja, but now it was taken out by the people of Konoha and used as an ugly thing to scold. The Sand ninja, who had been somewhat afraid of Ronglin, suddenly became enraged.
"Fight them!"
"These counterfeits!"
Various scoldings made a group of Sand ninja unable to control the anger in their hearts any longer, and they threw away their fear of Ronglin and launched an attack.
The Konoha ninja snorted coldly, preparing to counterattack.
"Since that's the case, then go to hell!" Ronglin raised his hand and smiled coldly.
