Not long after, the news that Jiraiya failed to raid the Sunagakure headquarters and once again applied for support from Konoha in order to protect the civilians in the Land of Fire spread throughout the entire ninja world.

At the beginning of the war between Sunagakure and Konoha, the battle situation was not as everyone imagined. Konoha defeated the invading Sunagakure village with an absolute advantage.

On the contrary, because of Rasa's strategy, the ninjas of Sunagakure Village, who were full of hatred, temporarily gained the upper hand with their ruthless behavior and fearless death.

"Konoha is in danger."

Villages with such ideas began to take action one after another.

Kirigakure Village in the Land of Water.

"Sir, the Third Mizukage! The latest information came from the battlefields of Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village!", an intelligence ninja handed the scroll in his hand to the hands of the Third Mizukage.

The Third Mizukage had long hair and was a very gentle-looking person. After he took it, he immediately opened it and looked at it in detail.

After a while, he asked his men, "Is there anything going on at Yanyin Village and Yunyin Village?"

The subordinate replied, "No, they haven't done anything special yet."

"No...", the Third Mizukage held his chin and began to think, "They should still be observing the situation. The ninja world has been peaceful for too long. Not only us, even those small countries have become ready to take action recently.

Get up."

"In that case, let me give them some more confidence." The Third Mizukage immediately ordered to his subordinates, "Recruit the ninjas immediately and send the Kirigakure assassination troops into the Land of Fire to destroy Konoha's stronghold.

But don’t go too deep. If you encounter danger, immediately retreat to the coast and then leave the sea by boat.”

The Third Mizukage put down the scroll in his hand, then turned to look out the window, "Now let me see how long the Tsuchikage and Raikage can endure it."

…………

Iwagakure Village of Earth Country.

There were people walking back and forth in Tsuchikage's office all the time.

Onoki, the third Tsuchikage who is about to turn 60 years old, holds a scroll in his hand and looks at it.

After a moment, he raised his head and asked his son Huang Tu beside him, "How are you doing? Have the troops been summoned?"

Huangtu nodded, "It's still a little short of that, but should we start taking action now? Although Konoha and Sunagakure have entered a state of war, their military strength on the border shows no sign of weakening."

"It's just preparations in advance." Onoki shook the scroll in his hand, "No, Kirigakure Village has already begun to send ninjas to Konoha. It has been peaceful for too long since the end of the Second Ninja World War. Everyone should be early

I can't wait any longer. Once anyone shows his weakness, he will be torn into pieces immediately."

Onoki paused for a moment, then asked Huangtu, "By the way, have we notified Kusagakure Village? We must pass there if we want to attack Konoha."

Huang Tu nodded and replied, "I have been notified, but they rejected it."

"Haha, it would be strange not to refuse, wouldn't it? No village would let other people's troops enter its own country." Ohnoki chuckled lightly, "Don't worry about them, if they dare to stop in front of us, then

Defeat them all!"

"After the troops are gathered, lead them to the Country of Fire immediately. It is best to establish a large stronghold in the Country of Fire, and then slowly encroach on the surrounding territory!" Ohnoki clenched his fists and spoke gently.

Smashing it on the table, "Our Iwagakure Village will not lose again this time!"

"Yes!" Huang Tu replied solemnly.

…………

Cloud Hidden Village in the Country of Thunder.

In the Raikage's office, Dodai looked at the Third Raikage with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, Raikage-sama, I didn't handle the previous rumors well, which affected your reputation."

The Third Raikage waved his hand nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter what happens to that kind of thing. They can say whatever they want about rumors. You can't explain it to them one by one."

"Besides, anyway, the candidate for the Fourth Raikage has been decided a long time ago. Those old guys doing this kind of thing will do nothing but disgust me."

Thinking of the fourth generation, Dodai's face showed an expression of relief. The fourth generation, who is only 26 years old this year, has already shown extraordinary qualifications. After the third generation Raikage retires, the fourth generation will surely be able to inherit and represent Kumogakure Village soon.

The title of 'Ai' for the strongest one.

In Yunyin Village, the Raikage of all generations are the strongest in the village, and they have also inherited the title "Ai" which represents the strongest!

"By the way." Dodai suddenly remembered something and said to the Third Raikage, "Sir Raikage, are we still holding the Chuunin Promotion Exam this year?"

There are two ways to advance from genin to chunin. The first is to be promoted in the chunin exam, and the second is to be promoted through the accumulation of merit.

However, the vast majority of people are promoted through the second method.

In Kumoyin Village, the so-called Chunin Exam is actually an elite selection competition. The only condition for promotion to Chunin in this exam is to be recognized by the village's top management.

Therefore, in the chuunin exams in Kumogakure Village, it often happens that the person who wins to the end does not become a chunin, and the guy who was eliminated before is promoted instead.

"The Chuunin Promotion Exam...", the Third Raikage thought for a moment, then shook his head, "We don't have that kind of free time anymore, so let's adopt the special wartime promotion regulations."

It is actually not difficult to be promoted from a genin to a chunin, but if you are promoted from a chunin to a special jonin, or to a jounin, you need to go through various inspections in the village. This process is very cumbersome and strict, and Tsumoto didn't dare to do it before.

This is why I was promoted to Special Jounin.

There is only one core to the special wartime promotion regulations. Want to be promoted? No problem, get credit in exchange!

In times of war, there are not so many things to pay attention to. As long as you have enough merit, even a Jonin can be promoted to you on the spot. This is what is called a hero in troubled times.

Boom, boom, boom, the door to Raikage's office was knocked instantly. After Todai responded, the head of the Intelligence Department hurried in.

"Lord Raikage! The latest information! Konoha has once again dispatched ninjas to support the front of Sunagakure Village. Kirigakure Village has sent ninjas into the Land of Fire. There has also been a large-scale troop mobilization in Iwagakure Village. They are on the border.

The garrison has crossed Kusagakure Village and is having friction with Konoha's garrison! The large army may set off at any time, and other small country ninja villages are also experiencing various changes!"

"Really, the time has finally arrived!" The Third Raikage turned to Todai and said, "Immediately send the previously reorganized vanguard troops to the Land of Fire to the border! At the same time, we began to prepare our regular troops. Once the war situation arises

Something has changed, and we are about to officially enter this war!"
Chapter completed!
