Naruto: Extreme Bloodline Limit

No one knew what price Sunagakure had paid in the end, but Iwagakure called off its troops and quieted down.

Once Iwagakure fell silent, Kumogakure could no longer sit still. While Ay cursed Ōnoki for breaking faith, he also began thinking about how to get a share of the benefits. But there was a problem: Iwagakure could point its blade straight at the weakest village, Sunagakure, while Kumogakure could not. The distance between them was too great; their reach simply did not extend that far.

Going out to sea to deal with Kirigakure was unrealistic. The only path left was to rob Konoha.

So after some discussion, Kumogakure also turned its sights on Konoha, planning to take the same kind of action as Iwagakure.

"Those cowards in Sunagakure really live up to their name. They compromised just like that. How boring. I wonder how many benefits they gave Iwagakure."

"Rasa and Sunagakure's higher-ups must have been frightened into submission."

Shaking his head, Ronglin could not understand why Rasa had lowered his head so quickly, without the slightest bit of backbone.

A perfectly good alliance had been torn apart just like that, with Iwagakure ripping open a huge breach. Fortunately, from beginning to end, Iwagakure's eyes had only been on Sunagakure and had never set its sights on Konoha.

With the alliance broken, Kirigakure also fell silent. Iwagakure withdrew, fully satisfied, while Kumogakure was naturally unwilling to pull back and could only continue
