After Lin Yi devoured the first bowl of ramen, he quickly destroyed the second bowl of ramen. As he finished two bowls of ramen, the unbearable burning sensation in Lin Yi's stomach gradually subsided. After feeling that he had almost eaten, Lin Yi slowed down his eating speed and began to chew slowly. By the way, he asked Jiraiya about the situation on the recent front line. "The situation is a bit anxious. The situation on the front line is not optimistic, especially now that Sunagakure Village is also involved in the fighting, which has doubled the pressure on the front line. The teacher has also seemed a little overwhelmed recently." Jiraiya sighed and told Lin Yi roughly the situation Konoha was facing now. Some time ago, Sunagakure Village joined the battlefield and started a fierce battle with Konoha on Mount Orange. Kabuto was also secretly sent into Konoha Village by Scorpion as a spy at that time. Unfortunately, as soon as he entered, he was brainwashed by Orochimaru and became a double agent. In this battle of Kikugen Mountain, Namikaze Minato used his excellent strategic vision and leadership to lead the ninjas of Konoha in a fierce battle with the ninja coalition composed of Kumogakure and Sunagakure villages. In the end, they successfully repelled the coalition forces and won Konoha's victory. However, the huge consumption of materials and casualties after this battle made Sarutobi Hiruzen realize that Konoha Village could no longer continue to be mired in the quagmire of war. If it continued to fight, it would really be ruined.
Therefore, he decided to have peace talks with Kumogakure and Sand Hidden Village to end this endless battle. But this decision caused strong opposition among Konoha's top brass. Especially the political faction headed by Danzo, they frantically used this decision to attack Hiruzen Sarutobi. From their point of view, it is simply incomprehensible that Konoha Village has won the victory on the battlefield, but now it has to give in to peace talks. This sentiment not only spread among the top leaders of Konoha, but even the ninja families and some civilian ninjas in the village found it difficult to accept this decision. They felt that this was a denial of their victory in the battle and a slight on their efforts. But only Sarutobi Hiruzen can understand how difficult Konoha is now. After the war with the four major ninja villages, Konoha's economic level declined sharply, and the huge consumption of the war made resources increasingly scarce. "When the cannon goes off, there is ten thousand taels of gold." This sentence was deeply reflected in Konoha at this time. Konoha does not only face one enemy, but fights on multiple fronts, which puts huge pressure on the logistics supply line. Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't sleep at night because of this. Every time he opened his eyes, there were thousands of people waiting for him to deliver supplies. These supplies did not come out of thin air, he tried every means to obtain them from the Daimyos of the Land of Fire. Today's Fire Country daimyo's attitude towards the Leaf Village is not friendly, which makes Hiruzen Sarutobi face many difficulties every time he goes to request material assistance. Recently, the daimyo of the Land of Fire seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with the daimyo of other countries, requiring Hiruzen Sarutobi to end this ninja war as soon as possible. Is Hiruzen Sarutobi really willing to make such a settlement that seems to be a loss of power and humiliation to the country? Of course he doesn't want to. However, he knew that the current Konoha Village could no longer withstand the torment of war. If the war continues, not only will the economy of Konoha Village completely collapse, but more importantly, the next generation of ninjas may also be wiped out. During the Shippuden period, Konoha Village often had to rely on a few elite ninjas, Kakashi and Gai, when encountering problems. Ultimately, it is closely related to the consumption of the Third Ninja War.
The war that has lasted for many years has seriously weakened the strength of the new generation of Konoha Village. Many outstanding young ninjas have died on the battlefield, resulting in Konoha Village lacking sufficient talent reserves in the subsequent development. As the leader of Konoha Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen is well aware of the cruelty and destructive power of war. After much consideration, he chose to negotiate peace with Kumogakure and Sand Hidden Village, precisely to protect the remaining new generation forces in Konoha Village and prevent them from continuing to be exhausted in endless wars. Through peace talks, Sarutobi Hiruzen hopes to win a breathing space for Konoha Village, giving the village a chance to rebuild and cultivate new strength. Just after Jiraiya described the current situation in detail, the two suddenly heard a noise coming from behind. Lin Yi stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of Ichiraku Ramen and looked at the streets of Konoha Village. I saw a few ninjas wearing Kumogakure forehead protectors walking arrogantly on the streets, with extremely arrogant attitudes, as if they were the masters of the village. "Are the people in Yunyin Village so wanton?" "There is no way. Now the people in Yunyin Village know that Konoha will not be able to fight, so they are so confident. Their attitude this time is also based on this judgment. Once we give them any excuse, both sides will probably continue this war immediately. war." Although Jiraiya behaves as a bit of an idiot in love, he has a keen insight into political matters. After Orochimaru defected, the Third Hokage had intended for Jiraiya to take over as Hokage. It is enough to show that Jiraiya's political wisdom is not bad. But Jiraiya's nature loves freedom, and he doesn't like to be bound by tedious official duties and responsibilities. Coupled with Toad Sage's prophecy, he finally chose to reject the position of Hokage and continue his wandering journey. "Then it's okay if I teach these people a lesson." "Of course, as long as no one is killed, you're welcome." Jiraiya is not a nice guy. Although he was always smiling and affable when guiding Naruto. But when necessary, Jiraiya would not hesitate to kill people. This is determined by the environment. In this chaotic period, people with soft hearts and soft hands often find it difficult to survive. After that, a deep dark passage appeared in front of Lin Yi. Lin Yi reached in and grabbed the ankle of the leader of the Hidden Cloud Village. Then, the leader of the Hidden Cloud Village felt a strong force suddenly grabbing his right foot, causing him to lose balance instantly and fall heavily on his back. "Who did it? Who?! Come out!" The representative of the Hidden Cloud Village roared angrily at the crowd, trying to find out who had made the move in secret. But the pedestrians on the street just looked at him quietly, and no one responded to his question. Looking at the representative of the Hidden Cloud Village lying on the ground, the villagers of Konoha Village felt relieved. They couldn't stand the attitude of the representative of the Hidden Cloud Village who was so arrogant after losing, and felt that the other party's behavior was too shameless. Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, the representative of the Hidden Cloud Village felt very angry.
But he couldn't take advantage of the situation at the moment. If it was spread that the people of the Hidden Cloud Village went to war with Konoha because of a fall, they would probably be laughed at by other ninja villages. Moreover, they had other tasks this time. If they attracted the attention of the top leaders of Konoha Village, it would probably cause great trouble. "Go back!" The representative of the Hidden Cloud Village got up from the ground, patted the dust on the ninja uniform, and ordered with a sullen face. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the group had to return to the hotel in disgrace. "Okay, how much is it, boss?" "No money, this meal is my treat." Shouda smiled and waved his hand. He saw the people of the Hidden Cloud Village being domineering outside just now. He was also there when Lin Yi took action, so he naturally knew what happened outside. As a passionate young man, Shouda was only happy about this. It was just a bowl of ramen, and it didn't cost much. "Okay, thank you, boss." Seeing that he didn't have to pay, Lin Yi was immediately in a much better mood. Who wouldn't be happy if he could get something for free?
