The Land of Lightning's Ambition

Samui's face flashed with a hint of disdain. Young as she was, she seemed to have a clear understanding of the relationships between the nations.

"But the results were far from satisfactory. The four nations were at odds, each wanting to watch the others fight to the death, hoping to be the last one standing."

"Agreements between major powers are incredibly fragile. One moment they're allies, the next they might turn around and bite each other."

"The Raikage had us seek cooperation with you Uchiha because the Uchiha have already turned against Konoha."

"And on our way to the Land of Waves, we discovered many Konoha ninja searching and patrolling the seas."

"If I'm not mistaken, you'll be discovered soon, and the Uchiha clan will be forced to flee again."

"As for your comment about the Uchiha's small numbers, we've naturally taken that into consideration."

"The Raikage said that for this operation to attack Konoha, only the Uchiha clan head and his two sons need to participate."

"And what you need to do is find a way to use the Sharingan's power to control Konoha's Nine-Tails and wreak havoc on Konoha."

"Young man, you must be one of the Uchiha clan head's two eldest sons, right?"

Samui's words shocked Mingyou. He hadn't expected the Fourth Raikage to be planning something like this.

His spy in Konoha not only knew that the Uchiha had fallen out with Konoha, but also knew about the abilities of Mingyou and his father and brothers.

It seemed this spy held a fairly high position in Konoha.

Otherwise, he couldn't have easily gathered this information.

"That's right, I am Uchiha Mingyou. I understand what you've said."

"But I have a question. What benefits will my Uchiha gain from cooperating with you? How can I be sure that after things are done, your Land of Lightning won't turn around and destroy us?"

Samui changed her serious expression, smiled charmingly at Mingyou, and said with a hint of coquetry:

"Mingyou, what kind of benefits do you want? If you're interested in me, that's not out of the question either~"

Samui winked at Mingyou, moved closer, and gently stroked her chest with her jade hand.

This woman is a little devil.

Mingyou, a novice in such matters, couldn't resist Samui's teasing, and his cheeks flushed red.

"Miss Samui, this concerns the Uchiha's survival. Seduction isn't a wise tactic."

Mingyou struggled to look away and quickly stated his position.

"Hehe... Mingyou, why do you make it sound so unpleasant?"

"I was just joking with you, testing your resolve."

"Rest assured, what you're worried about won't happen."

"We've already contacted the Land of Wind, Land of Earth, Land of Water, and the other three major nations, and they will also participate in this operation."

"In any case, our Land of Lightning is a major power. We can't do something so shameless in front of the other nations."

Mingyou carefully considered the credibility of the woman's words.

First of all, Samui said that the other three major nations would also participate in the attack on Konoha, so Mingyou could naturally believe that the Land of Lightning wouldn't turn around and attack the Uchiha's Sharingan after things were done.

That issue was settled.

The other point was the timing.

The Uchiha defected from Konoha, and today was only the fourth day since the Uchiha left Konoha.

The Kumogakure spy reported the news back, and then the Fourth Raikage discussed and made a decision, sending someone to the Uchiha to discuss attacking Konoha.

How could that be... wasn't it a little too fast?

The distance between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire was vast. How could they have accomplished all this in just four days?

That was simply impossible.

When Mingyou brought these points up, Samui shook her head and smiled helplessly, explaining:

"Mingyou, you're truly a cautious person."

"To tell you the truth, the Land of the Moon and the Land of Hot Springs have already been quietly taken over by our Land of Lightning."

"The leaders of these two nations are now controlled by our Land of Lightning."

"And the Fourth Raikage is currently within the territory of the Land of Hot Springs."

"I think you're well aware of the Land of Hot Springs' geographical location. It borders your Land of Fire. Do you believe me now?"

The Land of the Moon and the Land of Hot Springs had been taken over??

And it happened without the knowledge of the other four major nations?

Good heavens, the Land of Lightning has been planning this for a long time. They must have been preparing to attack Konoha for a while.

The Uchiha's falling out with Konoha was just a suitable opportunity they saw to attack Konoha.

Now Mingyou believed seven or eight parts of Samui's words.

"I understand the situation. However, this matter involves too much. I need to discuss it with my father and clansmen before I can give you an answer."

Samui nodded lightly, looking at Mingyou with a charming smile. "No problem. You wouldn't expect us, the Land of Lightning's envoys, to spend the night outside, would you? We rushed here and haven't even eaten yet."

"Of course not." Mingyou shook his head. "Kosuke, come in here for a moment!"

The Uchiha clansman guarding the gate was none other than Uchiha Kosuke. Upon hearing Mingyou's summons, he swiftly arrived in the courtyard, cupping his fist in the other hand and bowing slightly as he asked, "Young Clan Head, what are your orders?"

Mingyou nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Let those ninja from the Land of Lightning come in. Arrange dinner for them tonight, as well as rooms for them to rest."

"Yes, Young Clan Head," Kosuke replied with a bow, turning to head outside.

"What? Attack Konoha?"

Uchiha Fugaku's expression was one of surprise.

Mingyou led Samui back to the dining table and gave a brief overview of the conversation they had just had.

Elder Soki's eyes revealed joy. He was so excited that the rice bowl in his hand fell to the ground.

"Clan Head, Mingyou, I wholeheartedly agree with this. Since Konoha has been unkind first, we don't need to be righteous towards them."

"The Uchiha's situation is quite dangerous now. Although we have Mingyou, we may face retaliation from Konoha at any time."

"Only by destroying Konoha completely can we eliminate the Uchiha's worries."

During the meal, Nami and Uchiha Mikoto also showed joyful expressions, and they seemed to agree with this matter as well.

"Miss Samui, I must trouble you to return to your lodgings and rest for now. We will discuss it and give you an answer tomorrow, how does that sound?" Fugaku turned his gaze to Samui, issuing a polite order to leave with a smile.
