"Don't worry, sister. Now that the Two-Tails Jinchuriki is here, there's no way he'll be handed over!"
"If the Fourth Raikage really wants to fight, then we'll fight him. Even though our Kirigakure has just suffered such heavy losses, we're not without the power to fight!"
Hearing Ye Liangnai's words, Mei Terumi said seriously, "Xiao Ye, don't try to fool me. The fate of our Kirigakure depends entirely on what you said!"
"If we misjudge the strength of the enemy and ourselves, things will get really troublesome!"
Ye Liangnai smiled upon hearing this and said confidently, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems!"
"If it's not safe enough, then I'll add another layer of insurance. The Fourth Mizukage is also an important fighting force. If we really can't defeat him, then let him out!"
Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi frowned and said, "I hope we won't need him!"
Yagura's stance is too difficult to judge. Releasing him is a double-edged sword and could potentially hurt us.
Mei Terumi: "Go and reply to the Fourth Raikage. The Two-Tails Jinchuriki has already betrayed Kumogakure, so there's no question of him returning. If you want to get back the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, then let's settle this with strength!"
Upon hearing this, the Anbu immediately left, but he couldn't help feeling uneasy, thinking to himself, "Fight? Can they really stop Kumogakure?"
"Even in their prime, they might not have been a match for Kumogakure, let alone in their current situation!"
"Mizukage, this decision is not very wise!"
Regardless of his feelings, he still dutifully conveyed Mei Terumi's reply.
Meanwhile, the Shinobi World was already in complete chaos!
Whether it was Mei Terumi's rise to power in Kirigakure, her changes to the policies of the Bloody Mist Village, or the opening up of Kirigakure itself, these are all examples of how Kirigakure could change its policies.
It would be better if the Two-Tails Jinchuriki from Kumogakure were to leave and enter Kirigakure!
Or perhaps Ye Liangnai and Yugito could break through the encirclement of Kumogakure together and even defeat the Raikage!
Or perhaps, it's Kumogakure) that wants to attack Kirigakure) and Two-Tails Jinchuriki!
Which one of them wasn't a major event that shocked the Shinobi World!
Konoha!
"Has the White Cold Light become so terrifying? I heard that even the Raikage was defeated by him, but he's only twelve years old. Even Itachi Uchiha can't compare to his monstrous talent. How can there be such an outstanding person in the world!"
"Will Kirigakure rise to power and become strong because of him? Kirigakure has been closed off for years, and there is almost no news about them. It's completely unclear what their background is!"
The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, murmured softly, a hint of worry in his eyes.
He sensed that a storm was about to sweep through the Shinobi World, and none of the Five Great Ninja Villages could escape it; they would all suffer more or less damage.
"Perhaps, through this clash, we can gain some insight into their true nature!"
Iwagakure!
"Hmph, what will Kirigakure do? Faced with Kumogakure's strength, will you endure the humiliation or impulsively confront them? I'm looking forward to it!"
"I wonder if you still possess the strength of a great ninja village after losing the Fourth Mizukage!"
The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki of Both Scales, sneered.
"However, this White Cold Light -Ye Liangnai is worth paying attention to; his strength is rather strange!"
"Rumor has it that he captured the Fourth Raikage. Whether this rumor is true or not, it shows that this guy has at least reached the 'Five Kage' level and is someone who deserves our close attention!"
According to information provided by intelligence personnel from their village.
The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, failed because of him!
He defeated the Fourth Mizukage!
Although Ōnoki felt that Yagura's strength was a bit lacking, being able to defeat Yagura was enough to prove that Ye Liangnai was quite strong.
Sunagakure!
"White Cold Light? Let me wait and see how things unfold!"
There haven't been any conflicts between Sunagakure and Kirigakure recently. The only thing that might still be remembered is that Pakura, Pakura Sunagakure hero Scorch Release ninja, died at the hands of Mist Ninja!
Of course, if there's an opportunity, Sunagakure wouldn't mind rushing in to grab a share!
If such a behemoth as Kirigakure could be divided up, it would be an absolutely fantastic thing for Sunagakure!
Of course, the premise for getting a share of the spoils is that Kirigakure loses! Or that Kirigakure and Kumogakure are both severely injured, giving them an opportunity to take advantage.
Otherwise, he would just continue to wait.
These Five Great Ninja Villages can calmly face the impending war, but it's a different story for the smaller ninja villages!
The Land of Waves, in particular, is in a panic right now!
Why?
Because his location is precisely at the golden ratio line between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water.
If war breaks out, there is a high probability that they will become the battlefield.
Unlike the Land of Waves Land of Water Waves is large and powerful, showing absolutely no sign of panic.
Their family and business are small; if it becomes a battlefield, the country will almost be finished!
Back then, how many small countries were severely damaged during the three Ninja World War?
The Land of Grass, the Land of Rice Fields, the Land of Birds, the Land of Bears, the Land of Shadows ...
The Land of Rain, which had the potential to become the sixth great nation, was almost destroyed if it weren't for the existence of the demigod Hanzo.
Take the Land of Grass for example. It was once so glorious. Like the Land of Whirlpools, it was one of the top ten strongest Shinobi World villages when the Five Great Ninja Villages were first established. It is said that it also had a good relationship with the Senju Clan.
But what about now?
Devastated by three wars, the country was in utter ruin, with order broken down, constant conflicts, and wandering ninjas and down-on-his-luck samurai everywhere. It was so chaotic that it could no longer be considered a country!
Economic collapse, shrinking political power, and military devastation—this is the reality for small countries after war.
However, small countries often have no choice at all; if a large country wants to wage war, it will not ask for their consent.
If the war were to spread, they would find it difficult to form a truly effective force beyond issuing a few condemnations!
This is the tragedy of small countries!
"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die, Daimyo! We should take the initiative to align ourselves with Kirigakure and join forces with them. Only in this way can we form a sufficient force to fight back!"
"Isn't that exactly what they need to do to fight against Kumogakure? We'll make up for their losses. We absolutely cannot let the Land of Waves be slowly driven to the brink of destruction like the Land of Grass! In the face of danger, we can't just sit idly by and wait to die, relying on others instead of ourselves!"
Facing the terrified Daimyo of the Land of Waves, a retainer spoke with a resolute expression.
"I second that proposal!"
"I second that opinion!"
"Right!"
"..."
The suggestion of a joint attack was widely accepted and filled the court, completely drowning out the voices of the peace faction.
"Alright, let's launch a combined attack. Whether we live or die, let's try it first! Minister of War, I'm entrusting this matter to you!"
The daimyo of the Land of Waves was also stirred up, and shouted with fervor.
