Chapter 214: Minato is Super Good at Naming
"There are Kumogakure Shinobi in Yugakure, and there is a chance they'll enter Land of Fire..."
Nagasawa was lost in thought as he looked at an Anbu who came to report.
As expected of Kumogakure. Nagasawa already knew that Kumogakure was the first to start a war with Konoha after Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's attack.
However, even though Konoha suffered heavy losses, it still proved to be too tough for Kumogakure.
Kumogakure eventually signed a peace treaty with Konoha in order to stop the stalemate between them and Konoha, which caused them to fall behind from the other Great Shinobi Country.
When Konoha heard that Kumogakure wanted to stop the war, they immediately agreed, afraid that Kumogakure might change their mind word.
Because the Konoha was in a really bad situation at that time.
During the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's attack, Konoha lost its Jinchuriki, current Hokage, and many of Chunin and Jonin.
Moreover, at that time, Kumogakure was not Konoha's only opponent. Seeing Kumogakure fight, Iwagakure refused to be left out of the fun. They completely ignored the peace treaty and went to war with Konoha again.
Another Shinobi World War would've occurred hadn't it been for the heavy loss that Sunagakure had sustained in the previous war, and the fact that the Fourth Mizukage was being manipulated by Obito, turning Kirigakure into a closed-off country and became known as Village of Bloody Mist.
Konoha that was facing two Great Shinobi Village at the same time naturally wouldn't pass up Kumogakure's offer for a truce!
