The northern border of the Land of Fire.
Dozens of ninjas wearing Kumogakure stood on the edge of the cliff.
Leading the group was the Third Raikage.
These are the absolute elites of Kumogakure. Even the worst among them are Special Jonin with special abilities, as well as the AB Combo whose strength has greatly improved.
The Eight-Tails revived faster than expected, and its respawn location was still the Kumorai Waterfall in the Land of Lightning.
After successfully suppressing him, Killer B volunteered to become Jinchuriki and inherit the pain his master had endured.
Killer B is an unprecedented genius in Kumogakure.
He has reached the level of Perfect Jinchuriki, which only exists in theory!
Ai gazed at the distant Konoha camp.
"Father, Kagami Uchiha has returned, and the main force of Konoha ninja has gathered in the Land of Grass... Can we trust the person who gave us this news?"
The Third Raikage, with his eyes straight ahead and arms crossed, said calmly, "Ōnoki also received the news at the same time."
"There are very few people who are capable of doing this."
"It's very likely the same guy who gave us the tip a few years ago, haha, stirring up trouble from the shadows."
As they were talking, the sound of wind breaking through the clouds came from above.
Ōnoki arrived with two figures.
Roshi, Han.
Two Kage, three Jinchuriki, and dozens of powerful ninjas...
This lineup is even more impressive than the one used to hunt down the Second Hokage!
"Just to kill that brat, is it really necessary to sacrifice so many ninjas...?"
Roshi's expression was not good.
He did not agree with Ōnoki's decision. If it weren't for the Four-Tails inside him barking like a madman, he would still want to stay on the front lines.
"Worth."
Ōnoki said in a deep voice, "I am absolutely certain that that guy will grow to the level of Uchiha Madara. It is worthwhile to pay some price to kill him now."
"It's not a certainty that they'll lose over there. Maybe the Nine-Tails will go berserk and wipe out everyone in Konoha first."
"Besides, I have already instructed Haitao to retreat once the battle losses reach a certain level."
"You rotten egg, you just throw away your comrade like that, a mere two and a half yuan a pound!"
"Yay!"
Ōnoki stared at Killer B with a dark expression, then turned his gaze to the Third Raikage.
"What were you thinking, putting the Eight-Tails on this guy?"
"My companions are not for you to judge."
The Third Raikage sneered, "If Gyuki hadn't said that guy was too much of a counter to Jinchuriki, I wouldn't have cooperated with you, you despicable old bastard."
"Raikage, Hachi told me that you can't call him by his name, you have to call him Lord Eight-Tails!"
"Eh~ It doesn't rhyme, bagayalu, kou..."
"Shut up!"
Bang!
The Third Raikage slammed Killer B into the ground with a powerful punch.
Ai sighed helplessly and pulled out his own brothers.
"Be quiet."
The two kingdoms of Tu and Rai have always been at odds, and even when they fight together against Konoha, they can still betray each other.
In other words, both sides have been very restrained in recent years, and they have a common goal that they both want to eliminate.
This can be considered a different kind of external shift of the conflict.
"Let's discuss our battle strategy."
Ōnoki sighed. If it weren't for his childhood trauma, he wouldn't have wanted to cooperate with those brutes from Kumogakure.
"Do we still need a strategy?"
The Third Raikage frowned and snorted coldly.
"With this kind of fighting force, we could probably kill even the First Hokage!"
That's why I don't like working with these guys...
Hashirama Senju was able to defeat Uchiha Madara; Ōnoki couldn't even imagine how powerful that guy must be.
Only someone as naive as you would dare to say something like that.
Ōnoki did not refute the Third Generation; he knew exactly what to say to this kind of person.
"Defeating him is certainly not a problem, but we must consider how to keep him here."
"According to my investigation, this kid's personality is very similar to that of Uchiha Madara. He doesn't care about his comrades at all, so threatening him with people won't work."
"We must strike decisively and give him no chance to escape."
"Konoha has a user of the Flying Thunder God Cursed Technique. If he arrives in time to rescue Kagami Uchiha, it will be difficult to have such an opportunity again next time."
"You've seen how fast that kid is growing; he's only a few years old..."
"Letting him get away will cause endless trouble!"
"Then what do you suggest? I'll listen and then decide whether or not to do as you say."
Why can't we just admit to being reckless and having no constructive opinions?
Tsk, foolish Kumogakure, they only resort to crooked thinking when it comes to stealing things.
Ōnoki coughed lightly and continued, "The safest way is for you to launch the attack first, and I will make my move after you have engaged in battle."
Two seconds!
"He will definitely sense the power of Dust Release, so we'll limit him for at least two seconds."
"I can destroy him with Dust Release!"
To put it bluntly, the plan was to use the people of Kumogakure as bait while Ōnoki prepared his ultimate move from behind.
The Raikage narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ōnoki.
"Although I know you have ill intentions, the men of Kumogakure are not the kind of treacherous people you are."
"Then let's leave it at that."
"Let's go!"
Boom!
The Third Raikage unleashed a burst of lightning.
The powerful reaction force made the cliff teeter on the verge of collapse!

Inside the tent, Kagami Uchiha was reading by candlelight.
There are many ancient books in the Shinobi World that can inspire him.
The process of applying chakra, and some ingenious ideas for Ninjutsu.
Traces of the existence of the Ninshu can be seen within it.
A complete system developed by countless ninjas over thousands of years, capable of doing almost anything with chakra.
Even if Tobirama Senju was a genius, he couldn't have created those forbidden techniques out of thin air.
The ancient texts left behind by the Senju of the Forest a thousand years ago form the basis of his work.
The Uchiha also had them.
Not only do they exist, but they have even more than the Senju of the Forest.
After all, Indra was the originator of the concept of Ninjutsu.
Uchiha Madara didn't take many of the obscure and incomplete Cursed Technique with him, which are very valuable for reference.
Damn it, last time I was so busy complaining about how dark and damp the cave was that I didn't copy a single copy of the book that Ban took with him.
However, Kagami Uchiha wasn't in a hurry, and he asked Madara if it was even possible to get it...
Once Obito, we can just steal Obito.
Yeah, and while you're at it, get a few live White Zetsu.
I was just thinking about it.
Something entered his field of vision.
He's showing off his talent...
A smile appeared on Kagami Uchiha's lips.
You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long.
——
A streak of azure lightning ripped through the night sky.
A rapid alarm sounded at the camp.
The figure bathed in thunder approached rapidly.
Kagami Uchiha tore open the tent and stood on it.
The three Tomoe in his eyes slowly rotated, and a flash of scarlet light passed by.
"You brat! I finally caught you!"
"The bastard who killed Blue B!"
"Die!!"
Lightning gathered on his fingers, dazzlingly bright.
Hell Stab - Four Finger Nukite!
Kagami Uchiha remained silent, his clenched fist flashing with black and red lightning.
Black Flash!!
Azure blue clashed with black and red lightning.
All was silent.
Boom boom boom!!!
The next moment, a powerful shockwave swept through the entire camp like a typhoon!
