The news reached Kumogakure.
In the Raikage's office, Mabui and Darui, who were handling affairs, turned pale and trembled, almost collapsing to the ground!
"What did you say?!"
"What happened to Lord Raikage?!"
The Hidden Cloud Village ANBU ninja was equally distraught, almost like a walking corpse.
"Raikage-sama, he————"
"He died at the hands of the Hokage, Uchiha Senba!"
"Not only Raikage, but also Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and Tsuchidae-sama—"
"They were all killed in action!"
boom-
Mabui finally slumped completely into the chair.
Darui's vision went black, and he almost fainted!
"How could this be—"
"How could this happen?!"
The style of the Hidden Cloud Village is inherently tough, combative, enthusiastic about military expansion, and a hard-line, war-loving force!
They certainly anticipated that this so-called peace negotiation would not be peaceful at all.
Therefore, not only Raikage and Tsuchida, but also Killer Bee, the strongest and perfect Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, went along, which can be said to be foolproof!
However----
Who could have predicted this outcome?!
The undercover agent was drenched in sweat, but having received advance notice, he had calmed down considerably.
"Mabuyi-sama, Darui-sama——"
"The situation is extremely critical. We urge you to make a decision as soon as possible!"
Mabui and Darui exchanged a glance, both feeling a deep sense of despair.
This is a loss that is even more unbearable and a more tragic reality that is even harder to face than when the Gold and Silver Brothers rebelled and killed the Second Raikage!
After all, the Third Raikage was still in the village at that time, and his strength and prestige were enough to suppress the heroes, so the situation was quickly stabilized.
But now—
The leader is the Fourth Raikage, the strongest fighter is Killer Bee, and the veteran Tsuchikage is a member of three reigns.
All were killed at the same time!
This is a complete and utter failure!
Mabui forced herself to calm down.
"Immediately inform the two Lady Yukitos, as well as Samui, Troy, and the others to discuss this matter!"
"yes!"
Soon, all those qualified to participate in the Raikage meeting gathered in the Cloud Village office.
When Mabui revealed the news, everyone was shocked, horrified, and filled with despair!
"How could this be—"
"Raikage-sama, Kirabi-sama, Todai-sama, all died in battle?!"
"This, this————"
Since Mabui and Darui knew about it beforehand, they have calmed down a bit.
Darui sighed, "Things have come to this, and grief and despair can only wait. We must find a way to deal with this immediately, otherwise—"
-
"The Hidden Cloud Village is likely to collapse completely!"
Everyone understood this principle, of course, however—
Troy, a veteran Jonin of Kumogakure who possesses the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai, said in a deep voice.
"The most urgent task is to elect a new Raikage!"
"Otherwise, without a leader, Cloud Village will inevitably descend into chaos!"
Mabui nodded and glanced at Darui.
"The Fourth Raikage always regarded Darui as his right-hand man and even hinted that he wanted Darui to succeed him as Raikage —"
Darui frowned: "I'm afraid—"
Samui shook his head and said, "Darui certainly has a bright future, but he is still too young, and—"
"At this critical moment, Darui's strength is still slightly lacking, making it difficult to fully convince the masses."
"I recommend—"
"Yukito Nii!"
Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the two wooden figures.
The two wooden figures were also shocked.
"I?"
"I am the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails, so I'm afraid I'll have to take on the position of Raikage—"
"Don't forget the rampage caused by the former Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Frupi—"
Troy shook his head.
"No, Samui is right. Apart from the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Raikage, Yugito, you are the strongest in Kumogakure. You possess the power of a Tailed Beast and are the best person to keep the whole situation in check."
"I also recommend Yukito!"
Others echoed his sentiments.
The two Yugito sighed, "I'm not sure if I'm capable of shouldering this great responsibility, but since you all trust me, and Kumogakure is in such a critical moment, I can only do my utmost!"
Everyone nodded and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Mabui said, "The second thing—"
"It's about the Eight-Tailed Beast—"
"After Lord Killer Bee's death in battle, the Eight-Tails within him will also die. However, the Tailed Beast will not truly die completely and will be resurrected soon, but the time and place of its resurrection are unpredictable."
"The Eight-Tails is our Hidden Cloud Village's strongest strategic weapon; we must not lose it, much less let it fall into the hands of other villages, therefore—"
'
"The Anbu!"
"exist."
"Search everywhere for the Eight-Tails at all costs!"
"yes!"
Yugito Nii said, "The Eight-Tails has established a tacit understanding and bond with Lord Bee, and it's not the kind of tailed beast that hates humans. If it were to be revived, it would likely willingly submit to the village, but—"
"We certainly can't take that risk."
Darui nodded: "One last thing—"
"To avenge Lord Raikage!"
Everyone was shocked.
The two Yukito frowned and said, "Darui, of course I understand how you feel, but—"
"You've heard the information from the Dark Guard too—"
"That Hokage, Uchiha Senba, not only possessed the strongest Lightning Release Armor, just like the Third Raikage, but also the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the fourth form of Susanoo, and even—"
"He also awakened the Divine Eye of the Sage of Six Paths, which only exists in myths and legends—"
"Rinnegan!"
"When facing a formidable enemy of this caliber, we must not act rashly or impulsively—"
Mabui sighed.
"Yugito—no, Raikage-sama is right."
"Revenge must be taken, but precisely because the hatred runs deep, one must not act impulsively."
Samui asked, "Just how powerful is the Rinnegan?"
Veteran Jonin Troy shook his head.
"That's a legendary existence; no one knows its true power."
"However, judging from the intelligence gathered by the Anbu alone, Uchiha Chiba easily wiped out the entire Twelve Guardian Ninjas of the Land of Fire using only the power of her Rinnegan, as easily as killing a few ants!"
"Not to mention, even without the Rinnegan, I'm afraid no one in the entire ninja world could be a match for that bastard Uchiha Chiba—"
Everyone fell silent.
Yugito Nii said, "Everyone, there's no need to despair too much. Uchiha Chiba is indeed terrifyingly powerful, but—"
"In the end, the only one who is truly powerful in Konoha is him."
"The village's overall strength, especially its military strength, is not as great as our Hidden Cloud Village."
"Konoha has suffered a series of setbacks, including the Third Shinobi World War, the Nine-Tails' attack, the rise of Uchiha Chiba, and the internal strife with Hiruzen Sarutobi. The village is now at its lowest point, with heavy casualties and its power plummeting."
Darui said, "Lord Raikage means—"
"As long as we can find a way to hold off Uchiha Senba alone, Konoha will still be no match for us?"
"However, how can we hold off that bastard? It's practically an impossible task!"
Yugito Nii said, "According to the intelligence spread by Mifune, the leader of the samurai of the Land of Iron, that bastard Uchiha Chiba is not only targeting the Land of Lightning, but is also preparing to issue an ultimatum to all the other four great nations, demanding that they all submit to him. This is absolutely impossible."
"so----"
"We need to unite the forces of the other three major powers and the ninja villages to fight the enemy together; only then will we have a sliver of hope!"
Everyone understood what she meant.
"That's right, this is the only way. We can't let the Hidden Cloud Village bear the brunt of the firepower alone!"
The two wooden figures suddenly stood up.
"Without delay, contact the other three major powers immediately to discuss this matter!"
"Join forces to fight that man—"
"Uchiha Chiba!"
"Yes, Lord Raikage!"
at the same time.
In Iwagakure Village, in the Tsuchikage's office.
Two-day scale Ōnoki looked at his granddaughter Kurotsuchi playing nearby and felt a rare moment of warmth in his heart.
Unfortunately, this feeling didn't last long.
"Lord Tsuchikage!"
A member of the Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) recounted what had happened.
Even the two-day scale Ōnoki couldn't help but change his expression drastically!
"What?!"
"The Raikage is dead, and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is dead too?!"
"That new Hokage, Uchiha Chiba, not only killed those two, but also awakened the Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths?!"
The ANBU member trembled as he said, "Not only that, the Hokage also notified the four great nations, demanding that their leaders submit, or else—"
want----"
"What?"
"Kill all the high-ranking officials, including the Four Shadows!"
boom-
Onoki slammed his hand on the table.
"That bastard, he's completely insane!"
His son, Huang Tu, standing beside him, remained calm.
"Father, no—Lord Tsuchikage—"
"That may be true, but Uchiha Chiba's strength has probably reached its peak, and he certainly has the right to be arrogant."
"The best course of action now is to take this opportunity to cooperate with villages in other countries and join forces to fight against them; that is the only option."
After a moment of silence, Onoki finally sat back down.
You're right.
"Those two guys, Lao Zi and Han—"
Huang Tu sighed, "Father, it is common knowledge that you and Lao Zi are at odds. He left the village because of this. Although it cannot be called defection, he has been traveling around the world and no longer cares about the affairs of the village."
"As for Han, although he remains loyal to the village, he also doesn't get along with you much —"
"Ultimately, your stubborn personality is really—"
Aside from Huang Tu, no one else dared to say these things to Onoki.
Although he is getting older, his temper is getting worse.
"Hmph, in the end, that's what Jinchuriki are all about—they're a powerful weapon, but they can also easily hurt themselves."
"Huang Tu, I'm leaving this matter to you. To deal with that damned Hokage, we definitely need the power of the Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki!"
"Yes, Father."
Onoki's heart skipped a beat: "Besides this, it seems there are other methods—"
"Father, you mean—"
Onoki sneered, "I recently had contact with a clandestine mercenary organization. They seem to possess considerable power. Sending them to fight that bastard Hokage wouldn't be a bad idea!"
Huang Tu's expression changed.
"You mean that terrorist organization called Akatsuki?!"
"If other major powers were to find out that our Iwagakure village is cooperating with the Akatsuki, I'm afraid—"
Onoki sneered, "At this point, who cares about such things anymore?"
"You don't need to worry about this; leave it to me."
"You focus on recalling those two Jinchūriki."
"Yes, Father."
Just then—
"Lord Tsuchikage! A communication request from the new Raikage of Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning!"
"Oh? The new Raikage? Who is he?"
"The Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito Nii!"
"Is it her?"
Onoki chuckled: "It seems that Kumogakure has also been driven to the brink, resorting to seeking help and cooperation from other major powers, or even—"
"Our Hidden Stone Village, the enemy who killed the Third Raikage!"
Huang Tu sighed, "That only proves just how terrifyingly powerful that man named Uchiha Chiyu is!"
"It seems—"
"This time, four major nations, four ninja villages, and even the Akatsuki organization that Father mentioned—"
"We need to all work together to fight that man!!!"
