"What?! Fourth Hokage's son?! Not only did he learn Flying Thunder God Technique, he was also Jinchuriki of Kurama?!"
Within Hidden Cloud Village, Raikage's Office.
After listening to the shocking news brought back by the representative about Konoha Village in Chunin Ninja Exams, and the information about Uzumaki Naruto, Fourth Raikage A suddenly stood up from his seat, his strong body trembling slightly with shock and anger. The muscles under his bronze skin were knotted. This news was undoubtedly a disaster for him!
Although in the past battlefields, Fourth Raikage did have appreciation and respect for the strong in his heart for the "Golden Flash" Minato Namikaze of Konoha.
But putting aside his personal feelings, as the heir of Hidden Cloud Village, his truest thought deep in his heart is of course that he hopes to get rid of this existence that poses a huge threat to the village as soon as possible.
The elusive Flying Thunder God Technique, in this world of Ninja, which generally has high attack and low defense, is almost like having Wushuang on the battlefield.
Fourth Raikage gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead popped out, and he had the violent impulse to smash the desk under the pressure. He took a few deep breaths, and waved his hand vigorously towards Ninja, who was reporting the information, to signal the other party to leave first.
Calm down... you must calm down and analyze! Raikage forced his boiling blood and anger to cool down, and began to weigh the pros and cons with Shadow's thinking.
First of all... it was too late to get this key information! It was too passive! He thought angrily, feeling a tight feeling in his chest.
If it had been known a few years ago that Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha was actually the biological son of Fourth Hokage, Kumogakure would have absolutely spared no expense and tried every means, including assassination or kidnapping, to nip this future henchman in the cradle!
But... now the other party's identity has not only been exposed, but more importantly, he has clearly mastered Flying Thunder God Technique! Thinking of this, a strong sense of crisis surged into Raikage's heart.
In the face of the almost foul Space-Time Ninjutsu, all traditional infiltration, assassination, and siege tactics have become ridiculous child's play.
Therefore... the only way out is to immediately start and accelerate the research of [Anti-Flying Thunder God Tactics] at all costs before the opponent can control the terrifying power of Kurama!
In fact, this idea had already been proposed and discussed among Kumogakure's senior executives when Minato Namikaze was born and was on the battlefield. However, with the death of Fourth Hokage, this research project with unknown prospects was temporarily shelved.
Now, it's time to reboot and make it a top priority strategic project!
Raikage quickly outlined an action plan in his mind, and immediately summoned the top Sealing Jutsu experts and Space-Time Ninjutsu theoretical researchers in the village to form a special team.
Make every effort to analyze all the battle records left by Konoha Minato Namikaze, even the smallest fragments, trying to find out Flying Thunder God Technique's possible spacing between spells, coordinate setting rules, or weaknesses in energy fluctuations.
Develop an ultra-large-scale Lightning Release barrier that can be maintained continuously, and try to use Lightning Release Chakra to disrupt or annihilate the space coordinates.
Or delve into the special Sealing Jutsu formula that can interfere, shield or even distort the spatial coordinate sensing.
Even if the method finally developed can only delay the Flying Thunder God user for a few seconds, it is enough to buy the village crucial early warning and collective counterattack time!
Fourth Raikage had just made up his mind, and at the same time a sense of absurdity came to his heart.
Between countries and villages, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests. He couldn't help but think of the [Jin] organization that came out of nowhere and shocked the entire Ninja World with absolute force.
That organization, regardless of its position or interest demands, dared to intervene openly just because there were diplomatic frictions or signs of war between countries. It was almost an enemy of the entire traditional rules of Ninja World... But the scary thing is that they have enough terrifying strength to support such crazy behavior!
He quickly compared it and found that if Hidden Cloud Village had mastered a strategic weapon like Flying Thunder God Technique, Raikage would definitely find ways to use it as a deterrent bargaining chip to strive for maximum interests at the negotiation table, and even use it for... certain "special operations" when necessary.
But now, precisely because of the existence of this [Jin] organization, villages like Konoha, which has the successors of Flying Thunder God, cannot easily use this power to launch diplomatic coercion or military adventures against us.
Thinking of this, Raikage felt strangely "lucky" in his heart. This lawless organization, to a certain extent, has become... a cushion to maintain the balance of terror?
Just before he cleared his thoughts and was about to issue the order to study Anti-Flying Thunder God Tactics with all his strength--
"Bang!"
The door of the office was pushed open violently, and a Kumogakure Ninja from the intelligence department rushed in with a hurried expression, interrupting Raikage's thoughts.
"Lord Raikage! Urgent news returned from the frontline espionage team!"
"Espionage?" Raikage's attention was immediately attracted, "What important information was discovered?"
"Shortly after our representatives left Konoha, Sound Village teamed up with Sand Village and launched a surprise attack on Konoha during the Chunin Ninja Exams finals!" Intelligence Ninja reported very quickly, "Moreover, Sand Village dispatched their One-Tail Jinchuriki, and... made it enter the out-of-control complete body Tailed Beast Transformation state!"
Raikage's pupils shrank suddenly, and before he had time to digest this shocking news that could trigger a war, the report continued.
"But...One-Tail Jinchuriki of Sunagakure was stopped by Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha! And...Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha also used the power of Tailed Beast Transformation!"
"What?! Jinchuriki of Konoha is also Tailed Beast Transformation?! Is it out of control?!" Raikage suddenly jumped up from the seat, Flying Thunder God Technique plus Tailed Beast's destructive power... Raikage's teeth could not help but tremble slightly because of this terrible imagination.
However, when he looked at the face of the reporter Ninja, his heart suddenly sank - the other person's face did not have the expected joy or excitement when he learned that the enemy village had suffered a disaster, but was full of solemnity and disbelief.
"... No, Lord Raikage! Kurama...Tailed Beast Transformation of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has not lost consciousness! Not only does he fully control that power, he even It also threw the complete One-Tail out of Konoha Village! Therefore, Konoha Village was basically not seriously damaged by Tailed Beast in this attack!"
He took a deep breath and came to the most terrifying conclusion.
"Based on the comprehensive analysis of all intelligence...Konoha Village, there is a high probability... that it has mastered the... technology or method that can perfectly control and utilize the power of Tailed Beast!"
Land of Fire, deep forest hinterland.
The other members of the [Jin] organization have returned to their stronghold after the mission, except Shisui Uchiha who still stays here.
Before Konoha Crush Plan started, he successfully captured Orochimaru's important confidant, Kabuto Yakushi. Through Mangekyō Sharingan's Genjutsu hypnosis, he obtained a large amount of confidential information from it, and the action at this moment was based on one of these pieces of information.
Shisui's hands were like iron pliers, firmly clasping the wrist of the white-haired boy in front of him who seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. And between those pale fingers, he was holding an extremely sharp weapon that seemed to be made directly from forest-white bones.
Is this the container that Orochimaru originally selected? Shisui stared at the other party's empty but stubborn eyes, from Land of Water Bloody Mist Village, the Kekkei Genkai family that has been exterminated... I am afraid that he is the last Kaguya Clan clansman in the world, Kimimaro.
He originally only came to investigate this potential variable based on intelligence, but he didn't expect to meet him directly on the way to the predetermined location. What surprised him even more was that this young man seemed to be planning to go to Konoha alone to rescue the imprisoned Orochimaru?
The battle, or the confrontation that couldn't be called a battle at all, was over the moment they met. Mangekyō Sharingan's overwhelming Dojutsu almost effortlessly invaded Kimimaro's spirit and completely controlled its actions.
However, while controlling the opponent, Shisui also keenly noticed a detail. Before the brief exchange, a dazzling bright red color overflowed from the corner of the white-haired boy's mouth...
Coughing up blood... combined with the powerful Kekkei Genkai... could it be Bloodline Disease?
This guess made Shisui's heart sink slightly. He couldn't help but remember that whenever he was free, he would accompany Uchiha Yū, who was imprisoned by the organization and was now full of confusion.
About a year ago, You had similar signs of illness, and your body became increasingly weak. Fortunately, under Shisui's careful care day after day, and after begging the leader to use a special ability for treatment, You's condition gradually stabilized and improved.
He still remembered that the leader said at that time that the reason why Uchiha Yū's Bloodline Disease had the possibility of recovery was largely because the pair of Mangekyō Sharingan that originated from her bloodline no longer existed in her body.
The boy Kaguya Clan in front of me... seems to be in a similar situation...
Shisui looked at Kimimaro, who was controlled by Genjutsu with empty eyes, and was ready to take him back first.
Shisui easily lifted the thin Kimimaro onto his shoulders. He adjusted his posture to ensure that the other party would not feel too uncomfortable. Then he flashed and galloped towards the organization's stronghold.
Next, according to the leader's order, we have to go to Konoha again... and "invite" the imprisoned Orochimaru back.
