Raikage Takes Action

Ōnoki looked at his granddaughter with some reluctance...

"Of course Grandpa cares about you! It's precisely because he cares about you that Grandpa agreed to this!"

Kurotsuchi ...Grandpa's asking you! What do you think is the most important thing in the Ninja World?!

Although Kurotsuchi was young, she had been by Ōnoki's side for a long time and had learned a lot about the workings of the Ninja World. Hearing Ōnoki's question, Kurotsuchi thought for a moment and then began to answer seriously...

"In the Ninja World, the most important thing is, of course, strength! Grandpa, why would you ask me such a simple question?! In the Ninja World, strength is of course the most important thing. Only by having strength can you become an outstanding ninja, protect your comrades, protect your village, and protect your country!"

Grandpa, what do you want to do by asking me this?!

Ōnoki nodded...

"You know this principle too. In the Ninja World, strength is the most important thing. You just heard Madara Uchiha say that this guy named Makoto Ito is probably no weaker than him! You should know that someone like Madara Uchiha would never stoop to lying, so that means this guy named Makoto Ito is probably truly terrifyingly strong!!!"

My desire to form a marriage alliance with Konoha is not solely due to the strength of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju; it's also for your future.

"I know your personality too well. I've spoiled you rotten since you were little. You're fearless and reckless. I'm worried about what trouble you might cause in the future. Grandpa is getting old, and who knows, he might die any day. If you have a powerful husband, Grandpa can die in peace!"

Kurotsuchi heard Ōnoki's words and understood Ōnoki's good intentions towards her...

"I understand, Grandpa. Please stop talking nonsense. You won't die. I'll try to communicate with Makoto Ito and build a relationship with him..."

Upon hearing his granddaughter's words, Ōnoki inwardly chuckled...

Hehehehehehehehehehe...

You little brat, trying to mess with grandpa!

Grandpa only needs to make a slight move, and that's already the limit for this level!

With just a little bit of melodrama, you'll obediently submit!

With Madara Uchiha as our backer, who will dare to act tough with me now that we Land of Earth?!

Even if my teacher came back to life, I'd still dare to yell at him to his face, "What are you barking about, you dog?!"

For a moment, Ōnoki was lost in a beautiful fantasy...

Kurotsuchi is also looking forward to the time when she can meet with Makoto Ito!

After all, he was her future husband whom she had never met before...

And at this very moment, what is Kurotsuchi, her future husband whom she has never met, doing?

He's still engaged in a fierce battle at home with the Twin Peaks of Kumogakure!

At this moment, Makoto Ito had no idea that Madara Uchiha already arranged a marriage for him...

If he knew about this, he would definitely shout it out!

Well done!!!

After all, the future Tsuchikage—no, the future Tsuchikage Shadow—is still pretty good-looking! Especially those legs, they're so long!!!

Meanwhile, at this very moment, at the residence of the group in Kumogakure, the Land of Land of Lightning...

"Lord Raikage! The Tsuchikage of Iwagakure in the Land of Earth has arrived in Konoha!"

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, the Raikage muttered to himself...

"Has Ōnoki arrived already? It seems it's time for this old man to have a good talk with him... I've been wanting to talk to the Kazekage for a while now, but this Kazekage seems to be a complete idiot! I really can't understand how the Sand Village of the Land of Wind could choose a child as Kazekage!"

He hangs out with a bunch of brats from Konoha all day! How can someone like that become a Kage?! I think the Sand Village of the Land of Wind will decline sooner or later!

After we've conquered Konoha, the Land of Fire, I wouldn't mind taking over the Land of Wind as well. Then, our Land of Lightning will be the strongest Ninja World!!! And I will be the new God of Shinobi!!!

As the Raikage spoke, he prepared to go and have a serious talk with Ōnoki ...

He originally wanted to talk to Gaara, but lately Gaara and his older siblings had been spending almost all their time with the Konoha 12 Rookies...

The Raikage had absolutely no chance!

So now that Ōnoki has arrived in Konoha, the Raikage is preparing to take action!

After the group from the Land of Earth settled down, Ōnoki was just about to wander around Konoha when the Raikage appeared in front of him!

"Tsuchikage, it's been a long time!"

"Raikage? What brings you here?!"

"There are indeed some things I want to talk to you about..."

"Okay, come in and talk!"

The Raikage looked at Ōnoki in front of him and slowly said...

"You should already know what happened in Konoha, right? The First Hokage, the God of Shinobi, and that legendary Asura of the Shinobi World, they've both been resurrected! You should already know that, right?!"

Ōnoki nodded, having heard him say "did you hear me?"

"I already know. I wonder, Raikage, what do you have to say?!"

All that could be seen was the Fourth Raikage staring intently at Ōnoki ...
