After this battle.
Sunagakure completely fell into the abyss.
First losing the war against Iwagakure, and then experiencing such a disastrous defeat, the entire Sunagakure can no longer struggle.
Fourth Kazekage Rasa wants to take the blame and resign.
However, at this time, Sunagakure had no successors at all.
Moreover, at times like this, once Kazekage resigns, it will inevitably cause greater turmoil.
So the elders did not agree with his request.
In all aspects of politics, economy, and military, Sunagakure collapsed across the board.
As a last resort, Sunagakure made the last and only choice.
Completely fell to the land of fire, Konoha Village.
The two countries, which were originally allies, now Sunagakure has almost declared surrender.
Want to survive with the power of Konoha Village.
This is the best choice that Rasa and all the elders can make.
Throughout Sunagakure, there is an atmosphere of humiliation and despair.
...
However, Konoha Village is not having an easy time.
The conflict between the Konoha executives and the Uchiha clan is on the verge of breaking out.
The whole village was also shrouded in the haze of civil war.
It even made everyone feel suffocated.
But in any case, Sunagakure's complete surrender gave Konoha Village new power.
In particular, Konoha's high-level officials thought that Sand Shinobi's defeat was a good thing for Konoha.
For the Uchiha clan, however, it's a different story.
This made all Uchiha people feel the crisis even more.
The rebellion was already imminent, and had to be launched.
...
In Iwagakure.
Third Tsuchikage weighs (weights) Onogi on both sides, and he can't help but look at Kuzan and the rising Kirigakure with admiration.
Even he couldn't beat Sunagakure into such a mess, into a complete desperate situation!
He couldn't help wanting to meet Kuzan, a young Mizukage.
See how divine he really is.
However, he also saw the crisis of Sunagakure completely falling to Konoha Village.
This may increase the power of Konoha Village, which is not a good thing for Iwagakure.
What's more, Kirigakure, who was originally thought to be as weak as Sunagakure, showed terrifying strength because of Kuzan's relationship.
In addition, Cloud Shinobi Village, which was originally comparable in strength to Konoha Village...
The entire ninja world is afraid to face another bloodbath.
...
Cloud Shinobi Village.
Fourth Raikage Ai was also shocked by Kirigakure's rise.
The previous Cloud Shinobi Village also fought Konoha Village.
After the truce, he also tried to plunder the eyes of the Hyuga clan.
So Cloud Shinobi Village is also recuperating recently, and has not participated in any wars.
Unexpectedly, the entire ninja world would change so quickly.
The current Cloud Shinobi Village can even be said to be the strongest among the five major countries.
Because Konoha Village experienced the third ninja war, suffered heavy losses after the Nine Tails Rebellion, and fought with Cloud Shinobi Village, resulting in the loss of many troops.
In terms of military strength, I am afraid it is indeed inferior to Cloud Shinobi Village.
...
Rain Shinobi Village, Akatsuki organization.
"Pain, the new Mizukage Kuzan was born and won a big victory in the war with Sunagakure."
"Moreover, I got a huge amount of compensation, and even got Sunagakure's three major secret techniques."
"It can be said that it is a real draw from the bottom of the pot."
The person who spoke was one of the co-founders of the Akatsuki organization and the only female ninja of the Akatsuki organization.
Konan.
Pain's expression was still very indifferent.
"It doesn't matter, the disputes between the five great powers will never end."
"What we need to do now, on the one hand, is to gather funds, and on the other hand, to recruit new talents, as members of the Akatsuki organization, so that we will have the strength to capture the tail beast in the future."
"yes."
Pain was silent for a moment: "However, Kirigakure would have been the best choice for us to develop members."
"In the blood mist, there are countless defected ninjas."
"But now, I'm afraid it's impossible."
"Also, that new Mizukage's efforts to cultivate the perfect Jinchūriki may also have an impact on our plans."
"In short, this man must not be underestimated!"
Konan nodded: "Well, I understand."
...
In another secret stronghold.
Absolutely and the mysterious masked man.
As an intelligence officer in Akatsuki's organization, Black zetsu quickly informed the mysterious masked man.
The mysterious masked man was also silent for a long time.
"I didn't expect that this Kuzan could cause such a big disturbance."
"It seems that I really underestimated him."
"I thought that just after the end of the Blood Mist, the battle with Sand Shinobi would bring Kirigakure down completely. Unexpectedly, it was Sunagakure who fell!"
Black zetsu smiled: "Yes, this Kuzan is really amazing."
"Even Kazekage Rasa was captured alive, and he got so much compensation and Sunagakure's secret technique."
"This time Kirigakure, I'm afraid it can grow stronger."
The mysterious masked man sneered.
"Don't worry, I won't make it easy for him."
"I'm going to be busy with the Uchiha clan during this time."
"When the matter is resolved, I will find a way to make Kirigakure completely collapse!"
"What about Kuzan...you won't be complacent for long."
Black zetsu smiled and said: "You also said that you have no personal emotional factors."
The mysterious masked man was silent for a moment, then walked into the darkness with a cold snort.
...
And this time Kirigakure.
The civilians and ninjas in the entire village were cheering and celebrating an unprecedented victory.
Kuzan also used the placer gold and the 870 million taels of ransom to rebuild Kirigakure.
Whether it is the ninja system, the education system, infrastructure construction, industry, commerce, agriculture, fishery, or foreign trade, all aspects finally have abundant financial resources.
Kuzan could finally flex his muscles.
Of course, Kuzan also carefully studied Sunagakure's three secret arts.
Don't forget, his system is based on deduction.
He wants to make these secret techniques into the hands of himself and Kirigakure! ! !
