Chapter 230: The Path to Become the Greatest Swordsman is Still Far
Kumogakure had lost. Their defeat was so fast that it went beyond everyone's imagination. It had only been a month since they declared war and they had already lost.
Based on the previous wars in the ninja world, both sides should be still carrying out various strategies in a month. At most, there would be a small scale battle.
After all, none of the Hidden Village would be crazy enough to launch an all-out attack after just a month. Normally, they would fight for at least a few months.
Therefore, a month was unprecedentedly fast.
Before the start of the war, various Hidden Villages had made their own predictions about this war.
Both Iwagakure and Sunagakure didn't think that Kumogakure could take down Konoha even if Konoha suffered a great loss during the Nine-Tails' attack.
After all Konoha was formidable despite their lossess, and Kumogakure couldn't dispatch all of their men to this war while the other three Great Shinobi Countries were still around!
Therefore, Onoki thought that the war should be in a stalemate for three years. No one could do anything to each other. Kumogakure couldn't defeat Konoha, and Konoha couldn't defeat Kumogakure.
Only if the one or other two Hidden Villages were involved would it be possible to break the stalemate.
Onoki hoped that the one that would break the stalemate was Iwagakure.
Of course, this prediction was only valid if the information about a Konoha Shinobi easily defeating Nine-Tails was false, and Konoha actually suffered a lot of casualty in the incident.
