Chapter 287 Akatsuki Attacks Iwagakure!
Samui's face was grim. Although Kumogakure was the most powerful violent organization in the Land of Lightning, it was not without weaknesses. In fact, compared to other ninja villages, Kumogakure was more subject to the Daimyo's control.
After all, the Hidden Cloud Village wanted a lot, not just in terms of ninjutsu, but also in terms of technological development.
This results in the Hidden Cloud Village needing a considerable amount of funding each year, which is mostly provided by the Daimyo's government, leading to the Hidden Cloud Village's extreme dependence on the Daimyo's government.
"Should we start a war?"
"If we, the Hidden Cloud Village, were to go to war with the Hidden Leaf Village, it would not be in the Hidden Cloud Village's interest. Instead, it would benefit the Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, and even the Land of Water."
Darui frowned; he was not in favor of going to war with Konoha.
If the benefits are sufficient, Kumogakure and Konoha can go to war, but to start a war with Konoha just because of the fear of one Daimyo is not a wise decision no matter how you look at it.
"Perhaps we could try testing Konoha, just like we did with the Byakugan?"
The Fourth Raikage, A, looked at Darui and Samui. Last time, even though Kumogakure was the one who made the mistake, they were able to force Konoha to kill Hyuga Hizashi. This made the Fourth Raikage, A, subconsciously want to replicate that action.
"According to information from our spies in Kumogakure, Konoha has no control over Uchiha Izumi at all, and the possibility of Konoha forcing him to his death is extremely slim."
"Furthermore, with the Third Hokage stepping down, Tsunade, who succeeds him, may not necessarily be as weak as Hiruzen Sarutobi."
Samui shook her head. To be honest, she hadn't expected that the Hyuga clan's affair a few years ago would actually succeed.
Even though it was clearly the Cloud Village that was at fault first, they only strongly condemned them and made a show of going to war, but the Leaf Village actually backed down!
"Could we include the Land of Earth in this?"
"The pressure facing Iwagakure shouldn't be much less than that facing our Kumogakure."
"Onoki, that guy from the Two Scales, has been keeping so many ninjas in Iwagakure. Each ninja costs money. If their Daimyo's forces cut off their funding, it should force Iwagakure to attack Konoha, right?"
The Fourth Raikage, A, nodded. He had never fought Tsunade, but he felt that there was probably no second Kage like the Third Hokage in the ninja world. The feeling of being able to force someone to submit with just a little intimidation was simply too wonderful.
"We can have the daimyo send a message to the daimyo of the Land of Earth, agreeing to attack Konoha together."
After thinking for a moment, Darui finally agreed to the plan.
After all, it seemed that Yunyin had no other choice, as Yunyin was far too dependent on the Daming Prefecture.
"What about the Land of Wind?"
"Should we also have the daimyo send a message to the daimyo in the Land of Wind?"
Killer Bee listened for a long time, bored, but didn't hear his older brother and Samui say anything about the Land of Wind. He couldn't help but want to use his brain to help his older brother and Samui fill in the gaps in their understanding.
However, neither the Fourth Raikage A, nor Samui, nor Darui paid any attention to Killer Bee's naive remarks.
If we're talking about which ninja village in the entire ninja world is least dependent on the Daimyo, or even completely ignores the Daimyo, then the only one left is probably the Land of Wind. After all, the village's Kage goes out to mine gold on his own, so what kind of loyalty can you expect from the Sand Village to the Daimyo?
To be able to address someone by their daimyo's name is, frankly, a sign of respect from the Sand Village ninja towards the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.
While the Land of Lightning was busily preparing its war plans against Konoha, in the Land of Earth's Iwagakure village, Onoki, the Two Scales, stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the intelligence that had just been delivered to him.
"How is that possible!"
"How could a brat from the Uchiha clan possibly create a new bloodline limit change?!"
Onoki, who was on the ninja world, immediately thought that this was something made up by the intelligence agents. He himself practiced bloodline limit elimination. Was there anyone in the entire ninja world who knew better than him how difficult it was to learn bloodline limit elimination?
Take Deidara for example. His C4 Garuda seems capable of destroying everything at a microscopic level, but that's only because Deidara had no more training after leaving Iwagakure and had to find his own way.
As far as Onoki knew, to fuse Dust Release Kekkei Tota, a ninja needed to fuse the two Kekkei Genkai at a microscopic level. If there was any mistake in this process, the ninja practicing Dust Release would be annihilated!
"This is probably not false information. According to reports from spies in other parts of the Land of Fire, half of the Land of Fire saw the sun rise in the direction of Konoha this morning."
"The Uchiha clan is a ninja clan that has done extensive research on Fire Release techniques. They may have been researching the power of Bloodline Limits long ago, without anyone else knowing!"
Onoki's son, Kyoto, confirmed the authenticity of the information, while Onoki himself had a gloomy expression.
"Go and fetch Deidara; I'm training with him today!"
Onoki was really determined. Originally, only Iwagakure knew about the Bloodline Elimination, but Konoha had actually seen a second Bloodline Elimination. Considering his own age, Onoki decided to give Deidara more responsibility!
"Boom boom boom!"
Just as Onoki finished speaking, another huge explosion came from the distance of Iwagakure.
Along with the explosion, a somewhat arrogant voice rang out.
"Enjoy the art of this great master!"
Another violent explosion rang out, and by this time, Onoki and the others knew that the enemy had already reached Iwagakure's doorstep!
As Onoki and Kyoto walked out of the Tsuchikage Building, they immediately saw Pain, the Deva Path, floating in the sky.
Under the watchful eye of Pain, Konan was engaged in a fierce battle with Deidara.
One used clay, and the other used explosive tags, filling the entire Hidden Stone Village with the sound of explosions.
"The Akatsuki organization!?"
Ōnoki stared at Pain, who was floating in the sky, wearing a black robe adorned with auspicious clouds. After a moment of surprise, he recognized Pain's identity.
"How dare they attack Iwagakure? Has the Akatsuki completely abandoned their cooperation with Iwagakure?"
Onoki, using the Light-Heavy Rock Technique, flew into the air and confronted Pain in the sky.
"cooperate?"
"Our Akatsuki organization has done what it was supposed to do, but your Iwagakure is unwilling to even pay the remaining bounty."
"Old man, do you really think there's any possibility of our Akatsuki organization cooperating with your Iwagakure?"
On the other side of the battlefield, Kakuzu glared fiercely at Onoki of the Two Scales. In terms of hatred, Onoki's hatred towards Kakuzu was now even greater than that of Izumi Uchiha.
After all, Uchiha Izumi only killed a newcomer who had just joined the Akatsuki, while Iwagakure didn't pay him at all!
