Chapter 129: Instead of studying swordsmanship, they've switched to studying 'blitzkrieg
"Tsunade, do you want to compete for the Fourth Hokage title?"
"Or are you going to follow Elder Setsuna's example, raise an army, and rebel?"
This time, Tsunade was stunned.
There's no need to be so extreme.
"Rebellion is out of the question. I have no interest in becoming Hokage. Besides, the old man is senile, and I don't want to embarrass him too much."
Even a genuine armed mutiny doesn't guarantee victory!
Tsunade patted her chest and said confidently, "My plan is to make a name for Sakumo Hatake in the war against Sunagakure and elect him as the Fourth Hokage!"
"Was Sakumo Hatake the Fourth Hokage?"
Yuuki stroked his chin and nodded in approval. "That's a suitable candidate. Once the Ninja World War begins, it won't end anytime soon."
“That’s right!” Hearing that Yuuki understood her thoughts, Tsunade’s slight unease and uncertainty dissipated considerably.
Their confidence in nominating the Fourth Hokage increased considerably.
"Since the war began, the conflict between Senju and the old man has eased considerably."
"On the contrary, the Uchiha clan attracted more suppression."
"The various families also suffered suppression to varying degrees and were dissatisfied with the old man."
The Senju clan was unwilling to obediently accept the suppression.
There are always resources that need to be allocated to civilian ninjas.
Therefore, we can only obtain them from other families.
"They secretly plotted to elevate Sakumo Hatake's reputation to a level surpassing that of a Jonin, so that he could naturally succeed as the Fourth Hokage after the war ended."
Yuuki nodded, and the two fell silent.
He simply raised an eyebrow.
How does it all fall into place logically?
"Kid, what are you looking at?" Tsunade looked him up and down to make sure there were no strange marks on his body.
Yuuki scratched his head, uncertainly asking, "And then? Just increase reputation? The plan ends like that?"
Tsunade made no attempt to hide her feelings and nodded firmly: "It's not a coup, what kind of plan is this?"
"Based on the experience of the First Shinobi World War, the war lasted about seven or eight years. The Five Great Villages took more than ten years to recover, so the war may have lasted even longer."
"By then, the old man will be almost fifty years old, and after serving as Hokage for nearly twenty years, he'll be old and dying."
"Sakumo Hatake is in his prime, with his military achievements and strength at their peak. He is perfectly suited to succeed the Fourth Hokage. Everything is going very smoothly!"
Yuuki secretly shook his head; the plan itself wasn't wrong.
For a typical ninja who uses ninjutsu, their chakra reserves decline year by year once they are over forty years old.
The hidden injuries from the war, the damage from researching ninjutsu and taijutsu, and the lack of a life-extending constitution like that of Senju Uzumaki—Sarutobi Hiruzen might have fallen seriously ill and never recovered by the age of fifty.
But there are always exceptions!
It has to be said that the Konoha F4 may not have any other special abilities, but they are all incredibly long-lived!
Neither Hiruzen Sarutobi nor Danzo Shimura died of illness!
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu even managed to survive until the time of the Eighth Hokage!
This scourge has been passed down for centuries!
Yuuki pondered for a moment, then flattered her: "Tsunade-neechan, you are indeed exceptionally intelligent."
Sakumo Hatake is not currently included in his persecution plan.
He was also curious about how the war would develop.
Hiruzen Sarutobi supported Orochimaru, while various clans supported Sakumo Hatake.
What kind of sparks will fly during the Second Shinobi World War?
That's something to look forward to!
The war is far from over.
Even if Sunagakure is at a disadvantage, the war will not end!
The end of the battle in the Land of Rain doesn't prove anything.
During the First Shinobi World War, the five great villages were almost utterly devastated.
It took each village more than a decade to barely recover.
Time is fair.
The prolonged relative peace gave small and medium-sized ninja villages the opportunity to grow stronger.
The Second Shinobi World War, the so-called war between Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Konoha, was nothing but a pretext.
The real target is still the surrounding small and medium-sized ninja villages!
Essentially, the Second Shinobi World War was a war in which the five great ninja villages annexed and assimilated the smaller ninja villages.
Apart from Sakumo Hatake, the war has only really destroyed the Land of Rain so far!
The three great ninja villages are in a phase of testing each other!
Unexpectedly, Uchiha Yuuki and Hatake Sakumo suddenly appeared, escalating the intensity of the war.
...
The land of rain.
Rain-Hidden Village.
The war between Amegakure and Konoha may seem to be over, but there has been no defeat.
Both sides withdrew their main forces without even signing any agreement.
However, after Hanzo unilaterally declared war, he unilaterally withdrew.
He was definitely a bit of a clown.
But Hanzo the Salamander didn't care!
Reputation?
It's just a little bit of hardship!
He stood amidst ruins, the ruins of Yuuki's destroyed house, gazing at the devastated Land of Rain.
Neither happy nor sad.
Even though there were Konoha ninjas wandering around and looting in the distance, he did not launch a powerful attack.
There's no one here anymore; possessions are meaningless.
Blitzkrieg Rain Country.
After key buildings were destroyed, many places that are often rainy and damp are no longer suitable for habitation.
However, this plan—
This not only caused Hanzo great psychological harm, but also made him 'realize'!
It felt like opening the door to a whole new world!
Konoha can launch a lightning attack on the Land of Rain, destroying its buildings.
I can't play Hanzo the Salamander?
What Konoha can do, Amegakure can't?
The Land of Rain has been destroyed like this.
Unable to sustain the ninja forces in prolonged battles.
Let's launch a blitzkrieg against the three villages starting today!
