Declaring War on Third Raikage A
"Hmph! Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just see the Raikage whenever you want? Brothers, let's go for the sake of Kumo Village!" With that, a dozen or so Cloud Ninja rushed towards Tianqi.
"Heh, ants trying to fight elephants, it's like a mayfly trying to shake a tree. Minions, charge!" Seeing the Cloud Ninja charging forward, Tianqi immediately ordered the Uchiha to meet them in battle.
"Roar!!" The five little Nine-Tails transformed into five beams of light and rushed out, while the other five lay still and extended their tails to attack the Cloud Ninja.
Ah! Ah! Ah! It's obvious that the Cloud Ninja are no match for a few small Nine-Tails. In just one round, more than a dozen Cloud Ninja have all met their end.
Some were killed by being impaled by their tails, some by having their necks twisted, and some by being bitten to death. The methods used by these little Nine-Tails foxes were extremely brutal.
"It seems the civilians have mostly retreated. Zhan, face those houses and fire the Void Hound Cannon to force the Raikage out." Seeing that the civilians had all retreated, Tianqi pointed directly at the Cloud Ninja's houses.
Tianqi still had compassion for ordinary civilians; they weren't ninjas, just ordinary people, and there was no need to harm them.
Upon hearing Tianqi's command, Zhan immediately condensed Tailed Beast Ball, swallowed it whole, and aimed it in the direction Tianqi pointed. Whoosh! A terrifying burst of energy shot out.
As the explosive energy surged forth, the Raikage finally arrived. "You all need to stop!" Covered in Lightning Release Chakra Armor, Raikage A swiftly cleaved the explosive energy in two with a single hand chop.
"Bang!" With an explosion, the houses on both sides were destroyed. "Damn it! Uchiha Tianqi, what are you trying to do? Is Konoha going to declare war on us?!" Ai glared angrily at Tianqi as the houses on both sides were destroyed.
"Oh, what a pity. We could have destroyed that whole area of houses, but we only destroyed half of them. What a failure. Zhan, you'll have to work harder next time." Tianqi ignored Ai and spoke to Zhan, who had transformed into a Nine-Tails fox.
After hearing Tianqi's words, Little Nine-Tails Fox, now in true battle, silently lowered its head.
Seeing that Tianqi ignored him, Ai flew into a rage, unleashing his Lightning Release Chakra and charging towards Tianqi with a hand chop, yelling, "Damn it!"
Tianqi crossed his arms and blocked Ai's attack. Bang! The ground beneath Tianqi's feet cracked the moment Ai struck with his hand.
"Wow, that's some strength! Ai, you're still so short-tempered. Can't you calm down?" Tianqi said to Ai while blocking with both hands.
"You came here and destroyed my city walls, killed more than a dozen ninjas, and even tried to destroy our village's houses. And now you're still so arrogant. Do you think I'm the Kage of another village? I won't tolerate your bad behavior!" As he spoke, he increased the force in his hand.
"Your power has increased again, as expected of you. It seems I'll have to use some tricks if I want to talk to you peacefully. Susanoo!" Feeling Ai's powerful strength, Tianqi directly activated his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and used Susanoo.
The skeleton surrounded Tianqi, and a skeletal hand grew out, instantly repelling Raikage A with a bang.
"Lord Raikage!" A group of Shadow Guard arrived just in time to see the Raikage being driven back by the enemy.
"Lord Raikage, are you alright?" The Shadow Guard members helped Ai up and asked immediately.
"Don't worry, this attack won't even scratch you." He then looked directly at Tianqi and said, "Tell me, Tianqi, what exactly does Konoha want?"
"Hehe, it seems I'll have to show some strength if I want to talk to you," Tianqi chuckled.
"Answer me Uchiha Tianqi!" Raikage A roared, seeing Tianqi still acting so nonchalant.
"Hehe, Raikage A, listen up. I'm not joking or crazy about what I'm about to say."
"I Uchiha Tianqi, on behalf of myself and the entire Uchiha Militant Faction, hereby declare war on your Cloud Ninja and the other Three Great Shinobi Villages, at the northern border of the Land of Fire."
Upon hearing Uchiha Tianqi's words, Raikage A and the other members of the Shadow Guard were stunned. A exclaimed in disbelief, "Uchiha Tianqi, are you insane?"
"With your small group, you think you can challenge the Four Great Ninja Villages? Don't be ridiculous, you must be crazy," the Shadow Guard said disdainfully.
"I'll say it again, I'm not crazy. I will start a war against you in a month, believe it or not, it's up to you," Tianqi said seriously, looking at Raikage A.
Seeing Tianqi speak so seriously, Ai frowned. "Uchiha Tianqi, are you sure you're not joking? Are you really going to start a war against the Four Great Ninja Villages?"
"Hmph! Look at the people around me. Do I look like I'm joking? I, Uchiha Tianqi, never joke like this," Tianqi, pointing directly at the little Nine-Tails beside him.
"Hmm! This is the power of Tailed Beast. How did he manage to use the power of Tailed Beast? Could it be Konoha...?" Ai frowned again as he looked at the few small Nine-Tails beasts beside Tianqi.
It's no wonder he thinks that way. Everyone else hasn't even learned how to use the power of the Tailed Beast yet, so Konoha might learn it first and push Uchiha Tianqi out as an experiment to prepare for unifying the Shinobi World in the future.
"You've declared war on us, isn't that Konoha's order? Konoha wants to use us to test the power of the Tailed Beast. Konoha is too naive, thinking we'd believe that!" Ai thought he had guessed correctly and roared at Tianqi.
"Hahaha, Ai, now that you've become the Raikage, why have your thoughts become so complicated? I've already said that it's my Uchiha that's declaring war on you. If Konoha insists on getting involved, I'll attack Konoha as well."
"This time I will definitely become the second God of Shinobi and restore the glory of the Uchiha! Hahahaha!" After saying that, Tianqi burst into laughter.
Huh? Am I overthinking this? Is Uchiha Tianqi really going to go mad? Then Ai looked at Tianqi with a serious expression and said, "Uchiha Tianqi, since you're going to go mad, don't blame us for joining forces to punish you."
"Hahaha, just a few major ninja villages? I, Uchiha Tianqi, have nothing to fear from you. Bring it on! I, Uchiha Tianqi, will beat you to a pulp!" After laughing, Tianqi stared intently at A with his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Ha! Bang!" The Raikage suddenly unleashed a burst of Chakra, using Hell Stab with super speed, piercing straight through Tianqi's body and striking the rock behind him.
The Shadow Guard stared wide-eyed, wondering why the Lord Raikage had suddenly attacked, and why his attack had passed right through their bodies, leaving them completely ineffective.
"Heh, I didn't expect you to be so cautious. I thought I would succeed and end this war this time." Ai shook the hand that used Hell Stab and turned to look at Tianqi.
"Ai, you should save your breath. I've been on guard against you for a while. You'd be better off thinking about how to win this war. I'm waiting for you." After saying that, Tianqi used his Kamui to leave with the group of little Nine-Tails.
