The Fourth Raikage's Ambition

"Samui, you are now a vital contributor to the Land of Lightning; there's no need to be so formal."

The Fourth Raikage, A, wore a smile. He slightly raised his hand, signaling Samui not to stand on ceremony.

Today's Five Kage Summit was clearly disrupted, yet Samui couldn't understand why the Fourth Raikage was so happy.

"Raikage-sama, what's wrong? Just say what's on your mind."

"Samui, the Raikage-sama already knows about what happened between you and Uchiha Mingyou." Darui, who was standing to the side, finally dropped his serious expression, a smile playing on his lips.

"Nani~~"

Samui was utterly shocked.

It was unclear whether it was because her injuries hadn't fully healed or because she couldn't handle the impact of the news.

She stumbled backward several steps, unable to steady herself.

"Raikage-sama, I... I don't understand what Darui is talking about. Please believe in my innocence."

"Alright, I understand everything." The Fourth Raikage still wore a beaming smile, and he ordered in a thunderous voice, "Darui, explain the arrangements of the past few days to Samui."

"Understood, Raikage-sama." Darui nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Samui.

"The Raikage-sama arranged for us to infiltrate the Land of Waves; it was actually a plan to cast a wide net, or rather, a plan to capture the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan."

A look of fear flashed in Samui's eyes, perhaps worried about Mingyou's safety.

Were they starting the plan to extract the Uchiha's Sharingan now?

But soon, Samui realized she couldn't lose her composure, or she definitely wouldn't be able to leave here alive, let alone help Mingyou escape.

"I know, wasn't it said from the start? To extract the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan."

"But, isn't it a bit too hasty now..."

"Don't interrupt, Samui, let me finish." Darui's words were cut off, but he didn't get angry and continued to explain.

"The Raikage-sama's previous arrangement for us to invite the Uchiha wasn't to extract the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan."

"During the previous Ninja World War, our Kumogakure also collected Sharingan, but for some reason, even after transplanting them, they couldn't be used properly."

"And this time, before setting off, the Raikage-sama had already made a decision."

"One of the purposes of infiltrating the Uchiha Clan and finding a way to bring them back was one of the goals."

"As for the second purpose, it was to find a way to keep the people of the Uchiha Clan in the Land of Lightning."

"I think you can guess the purpose of staying in the Land of Lightning: to intermarry with the Uchiha, so that the Sharingan can be used by our Land of Lightning."

"But, unfortunately, the Uchiha Clan disappeared for some reason the day before departure."

"After that, the Raikage-sama arranged that assassination in the Land of Waves; the purpose was to quickly heat up the relationship between you and Uchiha Mingyou."

"As long as you can form a relationship with Uchiha Mingyou that transcends the relationship between a man and a woman, then..."

Mingyou, hiding on the roof beam, was shocked to hear this. Was he the one who had been played all along?

And he was being subjected to a honey trap, tricked into having children for them?

"What the..."

Mingyou really wanted to rush down immediately and slap the Fourth Raikage across the face.

But in the end, he restrained his impulse and continued to crouch on the roof beam without moving.

Sending people disguised as Konoha's Anbu, even sacrificing those people's lives, just to create an opportunity for Samui to get close to Mingyou...

Mingyou really wanted to hear just how ambitious this shameless Fourth Raikage was.

"Shut up!!" The anger on Samui's pretty face became even more obvious.

She never expected that the Fourth Raikage, whom she had wholeheartedly served, would have such dirty and despicable thoughts.

Not only was she being used to get close to Uchiha Mingyou, but she was also supposed to become a tool for having children.

"Weren't those ninja who died that day people from our Land of Lightning? You were able to come up with such a plan to achieve your goals?"

The Fourth Raikage didn't show any anger at Samui's disrespect. "Samui, I hope you can understand that those ninja are all martyrs who sacrificed themselves for the sake of a country."

"Moreover, the ninja who died that day will all be enshrined as martyrs by our Land of Lightning, and their families will receive generous compensation."

Samui was so angry that she was trembling slightly.

"Raikage-sama... I just want to know, why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

"Also, did you see everything that happened between me and Uchiha Mingyou in the forest that day?"

The Fourth Raikage and Darui were both slightly startled.

But soon, they both heard the hidden meaning in Samui's words.

Samui had most likely already had a relationship with Mingyou.

"Haha, Samui, don't worry, no one knows what happened between you and Uchiha Mingyou."

The Fourth Raikage's face lit up with joy, and he unconsciously looked at Samui's stomach.

In his opinion, the Land of Lightning's next Sharingan heir was already on the way.

Darui nodded in agreement, "Samui, rest assured, I can vouch for the Raikage. What he's saying is true."

"After you and Uchiha Mingyou disappeared that day, we were indeed searching for you everywhere."

"But we only found out about you after you had already set sail. We found clues on a nearby fishing boat."

"As for you and Uchiha Mingyou..." Darui paused, seemingly finding it difficult to bring up the matter of a relationship between a man and a woman. "You can trust us completely."

"Darui, quickly help Samui to sit down." The Fourth Raikage pointed to a seat nearby, seemingly already worried that Samui might have a miscarriage. "She has just suffered serious injuries and hasn't recovered yet, she can't be so overworked."

"Hmph." Samui snorted lightly, shaking off Darui's helping hands.

"Raikage, you have always been the person I respected the most. I have always looked up to you as my role model, wanting to become an outstanding Ninja of the Land of Lightning, just like you."

"But I never expected that while you were using me, you also harmed the lives of so many Ninja from the Land of Lightning."

"Yes, you said you would compensate the families of those dead Ninja."

"But are their lives really only worth that small amount of money? Can that little bit of money compensate for the pain of losing a loved one?"

"Or has it come to the point where you will use any means necessary for your ambition?"

"If I had really acted according to your plan and given birth to an Uchiha child for you, I would be afraid that my child would become a sacrifice to your ambition, just like those Ninja."

"Shut up, stop talking." Seeing the Fourth Raikage's expression becoming increasingly unsightly, Darui quickly stepped forward to stop Samui from continuing.
