Quickly Summon the Chinoike Clan of Hell Valley!
Watching Danzo into the distance, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
At that moment, he thought of the title given to Danzo by the Shinobi World.
The Dark Knight of Konoha...
"So, am I really getting old?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi leaned back in his chair, looking forlorn.
How did things turn out this way? Even Danzo is now completely estranged from him.
Was I wrong?
Hiruzen Sarutobi to himself, it was unclear whether he was expressing doubt or stating a statement.
Everything was perfectly fine before...
"No! I did nothing wrong!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was resolute, and his words were forceful and clear.
As the saying goes, where you sit determines where you think!
As the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only view issues from the Hokage's perspective.
Danzo was not the Hokage; no matter what, he was short-sighted!
It is through his efforts that the commoner ninjas of Konoha began to rise and gained the ability to resist various ninja clans!
This was also the divine weapon he originally intended to use to deal with the Uchiha, but unfortunately, a powerful man suddenly appeared in the Uchiha Clan.
Not only did they reach their peak upon debut, but they also allowed the Uchiha Clan to legitimately escape the meat grinder called war!
Now, even more formidable figures are emerging, allowing us to sit back and watch the winds of change sweep through the Shinobi World!
"My plan failed; it is fate!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed deeply and slowly closed his dry eyes.
In the Kumogakure, Ai was gazing intently at the clouds and mist in the mountains.
The Third Raikage, the father, watched from afar, his face dark as he looked at the doctor.
"Has Ai always been like this?"
The Third Raikage stared intently at the doctor, hoping to get a different answer.
But the doctor simply nodded silently.
The Third Raikage's face darkened even more!
The perfect successor and disciple who was originally destined to take over the mantle of Kumogakure from him, is he now just useless?
Just because of that Roger?
Does a man even deserve to make him lose his composure for so long?
Seeing that A's injuries were improving but his mental state was problematic, the Third Raikage's eyes sharpened, and he quickly walked towards A, who was still depressed.
The tall, strong body made a loud echo on the floor, startling Ai awake, who turned to look.
"Father..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Third Raikage's palm, the size of a fan, came beckoning over!
Bang!
With a powerful swing of his arm, a sonic boom followed, and Ai's face met his father's loving caress!
Bang!
In an instant, Ai's body was blasted against the hospital wall like a kite with a broken string.
A perfect human-shaped gap has been created!
The Third Raikage strode over to A, who was lying on the ground coughing up blood, squatted down, grabbed A's hair, and pulled him up!
"Ai, is there anything you want to say to me now?"
The Third Raikage's eyes gleamed, and he had already prepared for the worst.
If all else fails, we can just have a second child!
It was at this moment that Ai shivered. The deadly sense of crisis brought about by his biological instincts made him instantly understand what he had to say.
"Father, what kind of splendor do you think the pinnacle of Taijutsu would possess?"
Ai, with a bruised and swollen face and steaming blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, spoke with a fawning expression.
The Third Raikage nodded in satisfaction and released his grip on A's hand.
He knew that if a child was always misbehaving, it was probably because he was spoiled; a good beating would fix it!
"I've heard a little about what Roger told you."
The Third Raikage did not directly answer A's question.
"But have you ever considered what if all of this was a trap set for you?"
"That Roger was just a performance orchestrated by Konoha itself!"
With that, the Third Raikage put his hands behind his back and looked towards the Land of Fire.
His gaze was deep and thoughtful, as he analyzed the situation.
"Did you know that the Uchiha Clan, who have been suppressed by Wood Release for fifty years, are completely unconcerned about this Wood Release? They haven't made the slightest move!"
"That alone says a lot!"
"And the so-called number one Taijutsu master? Ha, anyone can talk big!"
As the Third Raikage spoke, he looked at A, who had already stood up.
"The most likely explanation is that Konoha is staging this whole thing, trying to hide something much bigger!"
"Perhaps it's related to the Uchiha!"
Hearing the Third Raikage's words, Ai remained silent for a moment, his mind racing, before finally tentatively asking.
"Does Konoha want to repeat what happened with White Fang?"
The Uchiha is now so powerful that it threatens the leadership, and they don't rely entirely on the Land of Fire for economic reasons. The Konoha High Command wants to weaken the Uchiha but doesn't dare to do it openly. Using this powerful method that doesn't require them to actually show their faces is the most suitable option!
If the Uchiha suffers losses, that's good; if they fail...
We didn't do it; it's just the residents spreading rumors. If you're so capable, why don't you kill them all?
"Perhaps!"
The Third Raikage neither confirmed nor denied this, stating that no one could be certain of a fact until the results were in.
"As for whether Konoha has any Taijutsu masters, they definitely do!"
"At the beginning, they were at most ordinary Kage Level, not even half as good as me, so how could they say they were Six Paths- level Taijutsu experts!"
"It's just that the battlefield situation is so close and they're putting pressure on us, trying to make us make mistakes!"
"Otherwise, why wouldn't someone with that kind of strength make a move?"
The Third Raikage chuckled, looking as if he knew everything.
Those who don't know him think he's a brute, but he's actually incredibly clever!
"But... what if it really is?"
Looking at her smiling father, Ai hesitated for a moment.
He always felt something was wrong, just like he couldn't tell if Roger's smile before he died was a trap set for someone to jump into.
Is that possible?
The Third Raikage glanced at A, effectively blocking his path.
Forget about whether it's true or false, produce the evidence first!
Otherwise, it's all fake!
"So what should we do now? Stand still?"
Ai asked again.
"No! We should not only go along with Konoha, but also help Konoha weaken the Uchiha!"
"The Uchiha a bit too strong!"
Hearing the Third Raikage's words, A instantly understood!
No wonder Roger, a member of the Senju Clan, was willing to die; it was all to fight the Uchiha!
Everything makes sense now!
"Then we..."
Ai asked, his melancholy completely vanished, replaced by a burning fighting spirit and an eager excitement!
Konoha actually schemed against him; they'll have to pay the price for that!
Do you really think he's a vegetarian?!
"Of course, we should get the Uchiha out of Konoha!"
The Third Raikage chuckled and pointed out the key point.
"As long as the Uchiha remains outside Konoha, there are many things they will not be allowed to do!"
"And it's the kind of situation where we don't even have to lift a finger!"
Ai frowned more and more as he listened.
"But how can we guarantee that the Uchiha leave Konoha?"
"That's almost impossible!"
The Third Raikage chuckled and pointed to a certain place in the Land of Lightning.
"Other countries naturally have no choice, but we are different!"
"If we release the Blood Pond of Hell Valley, that clan that's been restrained by the Uchiha..."
"The Uchiha will definitely take action to resolve this 300-year-old, unfinished mission!"
