Don't Know What Title to Take

Inside the tomb, Kou gazed solemnly at the wooden coffin beside him.

On the stone wall at the entrance of the tomb, the remaining flames still flickered, casting shimmering light on his handsome profile.

Kou Qiang suppressed his doubts, a deep thought flashing in his eyes.

Based on the residual aura of pupil power on the wooden coffin, he could be completely certain that the Totsuka Blade had indeed been sealed here.

But the seal has clearly been broken, and it certainly didn't happen recently.

While the exact time cannot be determined, it is certain that it has been some years.

"Could it be that in the original timeline, Itachi didn't obtain the Totsuka Blade here, but from somewhere else?"

Could it be that someone came here as early as the Warring States Period and obtained the inheritance of the Totsuka Blade?

Thinking about this possibility, Kou couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After all, three or four hundred years had passed since the mid-Sengoku period, when "Sengoku Susanoo" —Uchiha Itachi— was born.

Over these long years, quite a few Uchiha have awakened the Mangekyo.

Those Uchiha ancestors who lived closer to the mid- Warring States Period could only have known more about this tomb than he and Itachi.

In the span of three or four hundred years, the possibility of an Uchiha finding this tomb and taking the Totsuka Blade is indeed not small.

"But if that's the case, then why haven't there been any rumors about the Totsuka Blade in the past three or four hundred years...?"

He murmured softly, a sense of doubt rising in his heart.

Having been Uchiha for twenty-two years, he knew the Uchiha Clan's nature all too well.

If an Uchiha had actually obtained the Totsuka Blade during the Warring States period, wouldn't he have become as arrogant as some Uchiha, pulling out the Totsuka Blade and stabbing any Senju he didn't like on the street?

Are you holding back a huge attack? Absolutely not! You'll set the entire Ninja World (especially the Senju Clan) ablaze!!

"Sigh, I hope Itachi from the original timeline didn't actually obtain the Totsuka Blade here."

Kou sighed deeply, and murmured heavily in a low voice:

"If something goes wrong because of me, then everything in the future could be thrown into chaos..."

If the advantage of being a transmigrator familiar with the plot is gone, then my future can truly be described as bleak...

Kou stood before the silent wooden coffin, lost in thought for a moment, but ultimately shook his head, suppressing the question, which he could not answer at the moment, back into his heart.

He then shifted his gaze towards the cave entrance, his expression becoming serious.

From the moment he arrived, he sensed the violent and turbulent Lightning Release Chakra outside the cave.

That level of Lightning Release is something that very few people in the entire Ninja World can achieve.

"It seems that the Fourth Raikage —Doujin Rai cough, he's arrived."

He spoke calmly, showing no surprise at the arrival of the uninvited guest.

After all, he deliberately lured the Fourth Raikage there.

Although the Cloud Thunder Mountain Range are very remote, they are still part of the territory of the Land of Lightning.

The sudden appearance of Manda summoning beast the size of Manda on Kumogakure's territory would certainly not be something the Fourth Raikage, who was stationed Kumogakure, could do indifferently.

The fastest person in the Ninja World, as it is known, will arrive here at top speed.

Thinking of this, Kou couldn't help but give a bitter laugh:

"The original plan was to lure him out and keep Itachi occupied, so I could buy some time to loot the bag in peace, but it turned out to be empty... I really shot myself in the foot this time."

Kou shook his head and sighed softly.

He then took out a storage scroll that he had prepared beforehand from his pocket, turned his gaze to the wooden coffin beside him, and his tone became more serious:

"Sorry to disturb your rest."

Although the plan didn't go very smoothly, I've still damaged your tomb, and I will take responsibility and find you a new home."

Knock and unfurl the scroll:

"Of course, moving expenses are still unavoidable. If necessary in the future, I might have to shake you up to pay off my debts."

If you don't answer, I'll take that as a yes.

As he spoke shamelessly, he sealed the wooden coffin into the scroll.

He nodded in satisfaction as he watched the large character for "coffin" appear at the center of the runes after the scroll had absorbed the entire wooden coffin.

He then carefully put the scroll away and calmly looked towards the entrance of the cave.

"Alright, it's time to wrap this up..."

Having said that, Kou immediately took a step and walked towards the cave entrance.

In the next instant, his figure had vanished from the spot...

Meanwhile, on the cliffs outside...

The Fourth Raikage A, had already emerged from the pile of rubble.

He first scanned Manda's massive, sky-covering body, then turned his gaze to Itachi.

Ai's gaze lingered for a moment on that young and cold face, then a hint of surprise flashed in her wide, angry eyes:

"You are... the Uchiha Itachi who killed his entire family?"

Itachi wasn't surprised at all that the Fourth Raikage recognized him instantly.

After all, some time had passed since the Night of the Uchiha Massacre, and the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages had already obtained relevant information through various channels.

As the leader of Kumogakure, it's only natural that the Fourth Raikage would know something about him.

Itachi simply stared calmly at the burly man in front of him, whose body was wreathed in lightning, silently searching for any weakness in the Fourth Raikage, ready to strike at any moment.

Seeing Itachi remain silent, the Fourth Raikage's already burning anger surged even higher.

In the Ninja World, no one has ever dared to look down on him so much.

If this were a battlefield, he would immediately strike with a full-force elbow strike to teach this arrogant brat a lesson!

But at this moment, his duty as Raikage ultimately overwhelmed the restless killing intent in his chest.

His gaze fell on Itachi's Black Cloak with Red Clouds, his rugged brows furrowed slightly, and his voice deepened:

"I see. So you joined that mercenary organization called Akatsuki."

If I remember correctly, Orochimaru was also a member of Akatsuki.

Where is that cowardly fellow now? What exactly is your purpose in coming to the Land of Lightning?!

As Ai spoke, he turned his gaze to the massive body of the Manda, his eyes, gleaming with lightning, filled with intense scrutiny and oppression.

Manda sensed the violent Chakra emanating from the Fourth Raikage and instantly realized that the situation was dire.

It was summoned here by Orochimaru for no reason, and it was already furious about not getting the sacrifice. It didn't want to lose its life here.

With a thought, Manda instantly mobilized the Chakra within his body, preparing to dispel the Summoning Technique and return to Ryūchi Cave.

"Don't even think about running!!"

Ai instantly sensed the abnormality in Manda and roared angrily, charging towards Manda with a terrifying speed completely disproportionate to his robust physique!

His muscular body was wreathed in a raging Lightning Release Chakra, leaving a blinding blue afterimage in the air.

He stomped on the rock that was half a person tall and crushed it, and with the force of the leap, he appeared directly above the ferocious serpent head of the Manda!

Under Manda's shocked gaze, the Fourth Raikage raised his arm high, and Lightning Release Chakra condensed into a sharp lightning blade on the edge of his palm, slashing down towards Manda's head!

"Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!!"

Extra

Doujin Rai: "No? You called me an uninvited guest in my house? Are you even human?!"

Lao Kou: "Shut up! The Land of Lightning has always been Uchiha territory. What's wrong with me going back to my own home?"

If you yell again, believe me, I 'Susanoo whip you with my Susanoo and give you a good good thrashing, so you can remember your ancestors picking cotton on plantations a thousand years ago!

Doujin Rai: "You've got the wrong channel, haven't you? According to ' Ninja World Anecdotes':"

"Shouldn't the Yotsuki Clan, a thousand years ago, have been chosen by the Otsutsuki Clan (the lineage of Indra) because of their exceptional physical endurance, and trained specifically as a guard, occasionally used as punching bags?"

Kou: "... You've reminded me."

Doujin Rai: "Huh? What did you say?"

By the way, why are your eyes red?

Hey! I'm warning you in the name of the Raikage: Don't come near me!!

"Hey, don't come any closer, you little devil!!!"
