The death of the Third Raikage, a powerful figure of his generation, swept through the entire Ninja World like a whirlwind, leaving people sighing and lamenting.
Even if this person did many wrong things in his life, causing the Kumogakure to fall into decline, his willingness to fight to the death and take away six thousand Iwagakure Ninja bought the Kumogakure time to develop.
He was still a qualified Raikage, a good Raikage. Even though he fell, even though he died, even though his body dissipated into the world, his deeds will be forever recorded in the history of the Ninja World. His spirit will also be remembered by the people of Kumogakure. They have a Raikage.
A Raikage who would sacrifice his life for their development!
Uchiha Kō silently stared at the battle report in his hand, reading it over and over again. Is this what inheritance is? Is this love for the village? Is this the origin of their fearless spirit? Admirable, yet lamentable.
Standing at the highest point of the Tsuchikage Building, Ōnoki looked out through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the Raikage A, whom he had fought for most of his life. Although A was dead, he was someone he respected immensely. Although he understood the final reason, he would not slander A just because he was an enemy.
Because Ai, like him, fought for the village, which is not something to be slandered, nor should it be slandered; rather, he is a role model to be learned from.
Kazekage Yinglin remained silent, then called his mother and uncle, sharing the information he had received with them. Both remained silent; they were from the same era as the Third Raikage, and they could naturally see Raikage A's purpose.
"What a Third Raikage! I used to laugh at him, calling him a clown for overestimating himself and causing trouble with Konoha so many times, only to end up with nothing. But this one incident has shown me that he is a hero, a true hero who did everything for the village, for his people, and for his son!" Chiyo sighed.
Ebizo's expression was complex. Indeed, people in this era were not simple. Although the Third Raikage's reputation in the Ninja World was not good, he could be remembered for eternity because of this one thing alone.
Mizukage Karatachi Yagura felt a sense of shared sorrow, like a rabbit mourning the death of a fox. He had greeted and cooperated with the Third Raikage, and although he ultimately betrayed him, he knew that the Third Raikage was a strong and domineering man who, once he set his mind on something, would see it through to the end.
He had considered that the Third Raikage n't be content to die of old age, that he might instigate the Fourth Shinobi World War, and that he might die on the battlefield. But he never imagined that the Third Raikage die in this way, in this way, on the battlefield.
Suddenly, Karatachi Yagura picked up a glass of sake, poured it into the cup, and gazed towards Kumogakure. "This cup of sake is a toast to the Third Raikage of Kumogakure!"
Meanwhile, the leaders of the other three countries, including Uchiha Kō, seemed to be of one mind, each taking out their treasured fine wines, pouring a cup, and offering it to the Kumogakure, saying, "This cup is a toast to the Third Raikage!"
People are really strange sometimes. If we say that the strongest Ninja World is Uchiha Kō, then even such a person was killed in a suicidal battle by the Third Raikage. I feel both respect and regret.
A hero is never defined by his strength, skill, or background. A hero is someone who does what is impossible, and who moves forward with equanimity even knowing that death is inevitable.
Heroes are not only the victors. Even the losers can be heroes if they perform well enough, stand out enough, and are remembered by the world!
Uchiha Kō raised his wine glass and poured himself another. At that moment, Tsunade woke up and came out of the house. She looked at Uchiha Kō's sentimental expression, Earth Flow the coffee table, and looked at the report given by Kabuto Yakushi. She couldn't help but fall silent as well.
After a long silence, she spoke.
"Honey, the Third Raikage was a hero, wasn't he?" Tsunade and Uchiha Kō were of one mind; Tsunade knew that Uchiha Kō was lamenting the death of the Third Raikage.
As the saying goes, heroes cherish heroes.
Uchiha Kō nodded. "Yes! In fact, what he did was to undermine the interests of our village, but it was all for the sake of his villagers. From this point of view, I will not forgive him, nor will I support him."
"But as the Kage of a village, I admire him, I respect him. He is a hero, a hero worthy of being recorded in the annals of Ninja World history."
"Based on this one incident alone, no one has the right to humiliate him again!" Uchiha Kō exclaimed with deep emotion.
Tsunade nodded in agreement. As the Hokage's wife, she naturally possessed a high level of political awareness and understood what the Raikage of Kumogakure was doing.
She obediently rested her head against her husband Uchiha Kō's chest. Uchiha Kō put his left arm around her and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp with his right hand!
Kumogakure
Young Lord A had been kneeling at the village entrance for an hour. During that time, ninjas from powerful clans came to pull him up, but they couldn't. He just stood there, head hanging low, looking dejected.
Just then, a scout from Kumogakure arrived from the direction of Iwagakure: "Report! The Third Raikage...!"
Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Young Lord A's eyes, and he quickly stood up. However, because he had been kneeling for too long, he felt dizzy due to insufficient blood supply to his brain when he stood up. Nevertheless, he endured the discomfort and grasped Tan Bao's shoulder.
"How is the Third Raikage? How is my father now?" Young Lord A shook the shoulder of the scout ninja in front of him, his eyes filled with anxiety.
Feeling the slight tremor in Young Lord A's palm as he felt the movement, he knew that Young Lord A cared deeply about his father at that moment.
Seeing Young Lord A's current mental state, the scout was at a loss for words, hesitated several times before finally falling silent.
"Speak quickly! I'll pardon you!" Young Lord A roared angrily. Although he knew his father was determined to die, what if? What if his father changed his mind? What if his father came back?
Ultimately, Young Lord A was just a son who needed a father, not the reckless Fourth Raikage Ai who would later become!
"Young master, please accept my condolences. After the Third Raikage killed six thousand Iwagakure Ninja, he was suppressed and killed by Ōnoki! His body was also completely disintegrated by Ōnoki's Dust Release and disappeared from the world!" After saying this, the scout knelt on the ground and refused to say anything more.
Upon hearing this, Young Lord A was first taken aback, then the scout's report echoed in his mind: six thousand enemies were killed, but they were all annihilated by Ōnoki, leaving no trace of their bodies!
Pfft! A mouthful of blood was spat out by Young Lord A. At this moment, he seemed to have lost his soul, and his body leaned straight back!
"Young Master!" The scout rushed forward, wanting to embrace Young Lord A.
The ninja from the Kumogakure who were observing the situation rushed forward to help Young Lord A. Young Lord A is now the only successor to the Third Raikage and the strongest fighter in the Kumogakure. He is the future Fourth Raikage, and he cannot afford to get hurt!
