The higher-ups had never wanted to start a war!
Everyone present was no fool!
Moreover...
This situation was so obvious that even a fool can see it!
There was an inexplicable fire in Iwagakure's front-line ninja camp. In this case, it was definitely the best time to take the initiative to attack.
If they seized this opportunity!
It was very likely that they would defeat the Iwagakure's front-line troops in one fell swoop and end this battle. After all, as long as the Iwagakure ninja here dies, Iwagakure would definitely choose to retreat and recuperate. They would not launch any more wars in the next few years.
However.
Now.
The meaning that Hokage's Anbu Captain expressed was very clear.
No one was allowed to start a war.
Konohagakure had to wait passively!
The initiative would be handed over to Iwagakure's ninjas and they could only wait passively for them to attack.
For a moment.
The ninjas' feelings toward Konohagakure's higher-ups had already changed.
They were a little disheartened.
...
Aoba stood in the crowd, silently watching everything that was happening here. He knew better than anyone else what was going on with Iwagakure.
The Konohagakure ninjas here were all upset. They felt that they had missed a very good opportunity to defeat Iwagakure. However, only Aoba knew that at this time, it was impossible to defeat Iwagakure.
At this moment.
Iwagakure's camp was burning with a thick fire.
However, there were no casualties. What was lost were only food, clothes, and others. It had no effect on Iwagakure's ninjas' combat strength. There was even a portion of anger added to their mood.
With the support of these emotions, Iwagakure's ninjas seemed to have a buff for a short period of time, which was enough to burst out with more powerful fighting strength.
If they were to clash head-on with Iwagakure's ninjas, with the strength of these Anbu here, it would be no different than striking a stone with an egg.
However...
There was no difference.
According to Aoba's judgment, Iwagakure's ninjas would definitely not be able to swallow this anger, and they would most likely attack them soon.
Therefore, regardless of whether Konohagakure's ninjas took the initiative to attack or passively face the enemy, this battle was already inevitable!
The role of this fire was still very big!
Not only did it facilitate the occurrence of the war, but it also allowed more people here to see Konohagakure's higher-ups' attitude.
After a while.
The Hokage's Anbu Captain left, leaving behind a group of indignant ninjas. Everyone's emotions were not very right.
Aoba glanced at Eaton who was not far away from him. He found that Eaton's face had become extremely gloomy. His entire person was in a fit of extreme anger. He was so angry that he could not speak.
Swish! Swish! Swish!...
Just when everyone was upset that they had missed the opportunity.
A series of sounds reached everyone's ears. The people here were all ninjas, so they could easily determine what kind of sound it was.
People!
Many people!
Iwagakure Ninjas!
In an instant.
Everyone realized that Iwagakure's ninjas were about to arrive!
Iwagakure's ninjas were about to attack them!
Only...
Because of the fire in Iwagakure's camp and their frustration just now, they did not maintain a highly concentrated defensive posture.
As a result, they instantly fell into a passive state.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!...
The sound of wind breaking rang out. It was kunai and shuriken being thrown out one by one. These ninja tools, which were shining with a cold light, were heading toward Konohagakure's ninjas at an extremely fast speed like a dense rain.
"This..."
"Despicable!"
"They actually used this method to attract our attention!"
"How dare you launch a sneak attack in broad daylight!"
"You, Iwagakure, are too much!"
"..."
Angry voices came out from the mouth of Konohagakure ninjas. At this time, when they saw the attacking Iwagakure ninjas, they were full of energy and knew that they had been fooled. Iwagakure ninja had launched a sneak attack.
"Damn Iwa Ninja!"
Eaton cursed. He immediately picked up two kunai and stared at Iwagakure ninjas who were rushing over like a flood. Ten thousand alpacas were already galloping wildly in his heart.
"Meet the enemy!"
Hokage's Anbu Captain's voice suddenly sounded. His voice was no longer as strong as before. The current situation made him realize the danger of this matter.
''Damn it!
He cursed in his mind. The Iwagakure's ninjas were stronger, to begin with, and there were even more of them. They could clearly fight face-to-face, but they chose a sneak attack method. This was not giving them a chance to live!
"How dare you, Konoha Ninjas!"
An extremely angry voice roared out from Iwagakure's ninjas' side. The owner of the voice was Iwagakure front line troop captain, who was in charge of everything on the front line. Now, the front-line camp had been burned by a fire. He had no way to explain it to the Tsuchikage.
"I won't let you off!"
This Iwagakure's Captain stared fixedly at Hokage's Anbu Captain, who had just shouted the word "meet the enemy" in Konohagakure's camp.
Just a few minutes ago.
It was this person who burned down Iwagakure's camp.
This caused them to fall into the current situation. According to Tsuchikage's instructions, what they needed to do at this stage was not to fight, but to give Konohagakure enough pressure and make Konohagakure give up huge benefits.
It was all messed up now!
"????"
This Hokage's Anbu Captain looked at Iwagakure's Captain, who was rushing over not far away. Question marks popped up in his head, and he had no idea what the other party was talking about.
Do we know each other?
What the hell is going on?
And...
Now that Iwagakure's ninjas had started a war, even if the other party let him go, he would not let them go.
"Have you, Iwagakure, thought it through?" The Hokage's Anbu Captain said coldly. At this time, he had to remain calm so that he would not mess up his judgment. After that, he said, "Are you sure you want to become enemies with us, Konohagakure?"
"Is there something wrong with your brain?" The corners of Iwagakure's Captain mouth curled into a sneer. He looked at Hokage's Anbu Captain with an incomparably cold gaze, as if he was going to kill someone.
No one bullies like this!
You came to our Iwagakure camp to set fire.
Now, it was as if nothing had happened?
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought that this person had not done anything at all. His acting was simply too realistic.
However...
Who do you take for a fool?!
