Chapter 226: Kirigakure Seeks Help

After the internal problems of Kirigakure were solved.

Mei Terumi could finally concentrate on dealing with this war.

The first thing she did was to ask all the major forces to release the Kirigakure criminals who had been detained before.

As long as they were not guilty of serious crimes, they would be released.

Let them enter the battlefield with a guilty body. As long as they killed enough enemies, any crime could be pardoned.

On the other hand, those who were still taking advantage of the fire in the Land of Water at this time were caught and severely punished.

Quickly eliminate the public security problems in the Land of Water.

At least people's livelihood should not be allowed to deteriorate again.

And Mei Terumi began to seek help from the outside world.

The main targets of the help were Konoha and Iwagakure, two major forces.

Among them, the most ideal target for help was Iwagakure.

After all, Iwagakure and Kumogakure had the deepest hatred, and it was unlikely that they would cooperate with Kumogakure to attack Kirigakure, so there was no need to worry about letting the wolf into the house.

However, the road to Iwagakure was far, and if they did not cross the Land of Fire, the detour would take a very long time.

If they crossed the Land of Fire, they would have to get Konoha's consent first.

So Mei Terumi sent someone to Konoha first to see what Konoha meant.

After all, the previous generation of Kirigakure had offended Konoha so much that they even had a Byakugan on Ao's eyes.

It was still unknown what Konoha's attitude would be now.

However, Mei Terumi remembered the letter that Xia Mu had almost explicitly stated before.

While sending people to Konoha for help, she also asked Ao to secretly go to Uchiha to see.

Mei Terumi first sent a request for help to Iwagakure through official channels.

People were also sent to Konoha, the Land of Fire.

As for why she didn't ask for help from Sunagakure, one reason was that Sunagakure also needed to pass through Konoha.

Second, Sunagakure's desire for land was very strong. If Sunagakure intervened in the battlefield, it was not certain who they would help.

...

Although Iwagakure was the farthest from Kirigakure, they were the most concerned about this battle.

The intelligence on the battlefield was transmitted the fastest and most by a force other than the two warring parties.

Although the weakness of Kirigakure surprised Ohnoki,

Mei Terumi's request for help was within Ohnoki's expectations.

Ohnoki's character is very mature and steady. At this time, the twin islands of Kirigakure will become a battlefield meat grinder.

It is not worthwhile to intervene in the war at this time.

So after Iwagakure received the news from Kirigakure, it did not say whether to go or not, but began to wait and see.

On the Konoha side, Kirigakure's people also arrived soon.

But the people who came to see the Third Hokage were actually just a jonin and a half-grown child.

Chojuro.

However, the Third Hokage did not care. On the contrary, from Kirigakure's actions, it can be seen that Kirigakure has no one.

If Kirigakure can draw out people, it will not let such a young child come.

It seems that the older people in Kirigakure are now on the battlefield.

Now Chojuro is just a child prodigy and serves as the guard of Mei Terumi.

In terms of strength and experience, they are not very good, and they have to send them out for help. After all, Kirigakure does not have the right person now.

"Hokage, we Kirigakure need your Konoha's help."

Chojuro's character is shy and submissive.

This time, he was almost asked to complete this kind of task, which made him feel uneasy.

He basically memorized what he said.

Fortunately, he didn't stutter when he spoke.

The Third Hokage was very kind: "You have come from afar and worked hard. Tell me the details first..."

Then, Chojuro told the Third Hokage the battle situation on the front line in detail.

The Third Hokage was surprised when he heard Chojuro say that Kumogakure relied on the two-tail and the eight-tail to force the landing.

Kumogakure was really brave and was not afraid that the two jinchuriki would be ambushed.

But it was this courage that allowed Kumogakure to gain a foothold so quickly.

While they were talking, there was a knock on the door outside.

Without the Third Hokage responding, Orochimaru walked in.

He didn't care about Orochimaru's rudeness, but used his eyes to signal him what was wrong.

Orochimaru walked towards the Third Hokage: "Old man, my laboratory needs two kinds of equipment."

At an angle that no one could see, he exchanged glances with the Third Hokage, and then shook his head imperceptibly.

The Third Hokage closed his eyes, indicating that he understood.

…

In addition to asking for help from Konoha Village, another person from Kirigakure.

He came to the Uchiha clan in hiding and asked to see Natsuki.

Uchiha clan land.

Reception room.

This person who came to the Uchiha clan secretly was taken to the reception room before he opened his robe.

"I didn't expect Mei Terumi to send you here."

Natsuki looked at the person with one eye sealed opposite him with some amusement.

It was Ao.

Ao was also an old rival of Uchiha.

Of course, he was unilaterally suppressed by Shisui.

"Sir Natsuki, Sir Mizukage knew that Konoha might not send troops to help us Kirigakure, so he asked me to come to see you."

Ao's attitude was very humble, after all, he needed help now.

Kirigakure knew the current situation of Konoha and Uchiha.

Rather than counting on Konoha to send troops to help, it is better to come to Natsuki.

After all, Natsuki had dealt with Terumi Mei before.

And wrote a letter to her, almost explicitly saying that Uchiha accepted employment.

Natsuki smiled slightly: "Now the two-tailed Yukito and the eight-tailed Killer Bee are on the battlefield."

"According to their current offensive, if they form a bridgehead in the Land of Water, it will only be a matter of time before your Kirigakure is destroyed."

Qing said calmly: "Our Fourth and Fifth Mizukages are not pushovers."

"And we also have the Six-tailed Yugao. Although the situation is disadvantageous now, we were just caught off guard."

"Lord Mizukage doesn't want the war to expand and Kirigakure to suffer too much loss, so he came to ask for help."

Seeing Qing's stubbornness, Xia Mu chuckled: "Heh..."

Xia Mu tapped his fingers on the table and spoke slowly.

"I know the situation in your Kirigakure very well. Yugao has defected, the Fourth Mizukage is dead, and the Three-tailed Isobu is also dead.

"As for Mei Terumi, I don't think she is a match for the Fourth Raikage now."

"Even if the Fourth Raikage doesn't take action, you can't stop the two jinchūriki at all."

"You don't have to test it. I came to the Land of Water last time, and I know your national conditions very well. "

"I believe that in just a few years, Mei Terumi cannot have completely managed it."

Qing's pupils shrank heavily, and his hands under the table tightened immediately. Xia Mu had completely blocked his words.

Sure enough, Uchiha knew the information that the Fourth Mizukage was dead.

Mei Terumi told him before he left, and Xia Mu might know this news.

He even knew the news of Yugao's defection.

Qing did not deny it at this time, and it was meaningless to deny it at this time.

"Lord Xia Mu, what price do you want to send troops to rescue Kirigakure?"

Qing had no choice, he was at the mercy of others. He could only let Uchiha make conditions.

The Uchiha is now a major force in the Land of Fire. If Uchiha does not nod, even Iwagakure cannot pass through the Land of Fire.

Kirigakure cannot get around Uchiha no matter what.
