Iwagakure lay in wait

On the moon, inside a room housing a gigantic Tenseigan.

Otsutsuki Toneri was sitting upright, slowly opened his eyes.

He can use this giant Tenseigan to observe every corner of the entire Shinobi World at any time.

His ability to observe Hanabi and Hinata up close using the unique Otsutsuki method he previously employed was also closely related to this Tenseigan.

"It's not surprising that Tailed Beast can sense me, but Hinata Hyuga and the Byakugan Princess can sense me because the Chakra of their ancestor Hamura has appeared on them."

"But why was that redhead who arrived later able to sense my presence?"

"Furthermore, the Wood Release he used actually contained a portion of Yang Release Chakra."

He seems to know so much about our lineage, which has been living in seclusion on the moon for so long.

When normal people encounter something unbelievable, they are more likely to be shocked and surprised.

His reaction to my sudden appearance was more anger.

It was as if they had known all along that I would arrive.

After pondering for a long time, he still felt that Kanami's reaction was very strange, but he couldn't figure it out.

He couldn't sense any Otsutsuki aura from the other person at all.

Aside from the Otsutsuki, the others should all be considered natives.

Lost in thought, Otsutsuki Toneri stood up and walked out of the room.

He walked along, placing his hands over his eyes.

"Once I possess that girl's Byakugan and my Tenseigan is born, these problems will naturally be solved."

"Hinata, wait for me. It won't be long before I formally invite you to be my wife."

Konoha Village.

Inside the Hokage's Office.

"Why are you thinking about the Chunin exam at a time like this?"

Sitting in the Hokage's chair, Tsunade, with a worried expression, rolled her eyes at Kanami in front of her.

"Although Killer B didn't cause too much damage to our Konoha operations, the damage at the Village Entrance will take some time to repair."

"Kakashi and the others have already come back and told me. The situation is almost exactly the same as what Hinata said."

At this point, Tsunade couldn't help but exclaim, "Kanami, why are you so monstrous?"

Kanami's expression remained calm.

He had heard this many times before, so his expression didn't change much.

Tsunade understood that Kanami must have heard this kind of talk countless times, and was probably tired of it.

Although she didn't want to say it, she just couldn't help it!

"Actually, people like you and Hinata don't need to take the Chunin exam at all. Let alone Chunin, you could even become Jonin if I just mentioned it during a meeting."

Kanami said, "I know, but I don't want to get in through your connections."

Tsunade:...

Her fist hardened.

He's almost at the level of a Kage -Kage-level ninja, yet he still insists on participating in the Chunin exam.

Do they really have to put on a show during the Chunin exam?

Childish!

Childish psychology!

But Kanami isn't actually that old.

"Since the Chunin exam can't continue, that's fine. Hinata again next time."

After saying that, Kanami turned to leave.

He wouldn't care if he were alone, but deep down he really wanted to become a Chunin together with Hinata!

It's all about the sense of ritual!

Instead of being promoted to Jonin by Tsunade with just a word or Tsunade, he was Jonin two ranks higher.

That would be really boring.

Just like the position of Hokage Assistant, Tsunade had always wanted him to be that position.

If he were only after the title, he would have agreed to become the Hokage Assistant long ago.

Watching Kanami leave, Tsunade opened her mouth, but then hesitated, unsure what to say.

He finally shook his head.

When Kakashi recounted Kanami's performance against the Yugito Nii to her, she thought that after everything was over, she would directly announce that Kanami had become Elite Jonin, giving him a surprise.

Of course, Hinata wouldn't forget that she too had been promoted to Elite Jonin.

But now that Kanami had come to her door and she heard what he said, she suppressed her inner thoughts.

"This kid has such a carefree personality. If I force him to get promoted knowing he doesn't want to use my connections, it might backfire."

She sighed, scratching her head. "Sigh, why is it so hard to increase this kid's sense of belonging to the village?"

"It seems we still have to start with Hinata Hyuga. The Hyuga Clan can now participate in Konoha important meetings, but it's still not enough..."

"What that old man, the Third Hokage, did to the Hyuga makes my actions, which were originally meant to increase the Hyuga's sense of belonging to the village, only serve to make up for it!"

"Honestly! Even after becoming Hokage, I still can't stand your habitual yielding attitude, you old geezer!"

Tsunade stared at the Hiruzen Sarutobi hanging on the wall, complaining.

Not long after, news of Cloud Village's all-out ambush attack on Konoha and its act of waging war spread throughout the entire Shinobi World.

If it were the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, he would definitely have chosen to sound the horn of counterattack!

Taking advantage of his illness, they seized the opportunity to kill him and conquer the entire Cloud Village in one fell swoop.

But the Second is dead. Even if Tsunade is in power, she is already very strong-willed and will still not choose to sound the horn of counterattack.

However, he wouldn't be as muddle-headed as the Third Hokage.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi were in power, he would have returned Killer B, the Eight-Tails, and the Two-Tails to Cloud Village at this very moment.

They called it the "grand demeanor of Konoha" (the village of Konoha).

However, even if Tsunade doesn't launch a counterattack, Iwagakure won't miss this opportunity.

Iwagakure has been watching the turmoil in the Shinobi World with Tiger Vision for a very long time.

At this very moment, inside the Daimyo's Daimyo's Mansion in the Land of Lightning.

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning was furious and angrily berated the scantily clad maid beside him.

"Damn Cloud Village! Damn Yugito! Not only did they launch a revenge attack on Konoha Village without my knowledge, but they also ended up failing!"

Or a resounding defeat!

Two Tailed Beast, two Perfect Jinchuriki!

Almost all of the village's Elite Ninja have come out!

As a result, both Tailed Beast, including their Jinchuriki, were captured.

That wasn't the most infuriating thing.

What angered him even more was that the intelligence reports sent back indicated...

This time, the Cloud Village's operation had the perfect timing, location, and popular support!

As a result, they couldn't even get past the village gate!

After fighting for so long, they only managed to destroy the Village Entrance to Konoha Village!

"That's it! They call themselves the most warlike ninja village! Nicknamed the Cloud Barbarians! But all they have is barbarity!"

At this moment, a woman, swaying her hips and holding a handful of peeled grapes, staggered over to the Feudal Lord: "Feudal Lord, please don't be angry~ Victory or defeat is..."

"You son of a bitch, you!"

"What did you learn from some backwater that you think you could show off in front of me?"

Feudal Lord slapped the woman across the face.

The already slender woman collapsed to the ground after just one slap.

"Can't you see I'm looking for someone to vent to?!"

Feudal Lord strode over, put his feet together, and jumped up.

He stomped his feet hard on the woman.

The daimyo's Feudal Lord fat rippled outwards, like Human Bullet Tank— Secret Technique of the Akimichi Clan —and trampled the woman until she passed out.

"Damn it, this is happening at a time like this! How are we going to cultivate a new ninja village to replace Cloud Village in such a short time? And all the Tailed Beast have been taken by Konoha!"

Just as the Feudal Lord was getting angry, a figure rushed over.

"Feudal Lord Iwagakure Ninja have appeared outside Cloud Village!"

"What! How dare they! Quickly, establish communication with the other Four Great Nations Feudal Lord daimyo!"
