Third Raikage: If You Want War, Then Fight-Enough Nonsense

At best, this was a clash between Kumogakure and Kirigakure.

At worst, Kumogakure was provoking them and trying to start a war.

As Kirigakure's Fourth Mizukage, Yagura needed to demand an explanation from Kumogakure on behalf of the village.

Even if Kumogakure did not offer a single word of apology, Yagura still had to send them a letter of inquiry.

Otherwise, others would see him, the Mizukage, as a coward who hid his head in his shell.

The village's people had been attacked first, yet the Mizukage did not even dare utter a peep. It was utterly laughable.

Once he bore such a charge, who knew how many people and factions would seize the chance to stir up trouble.

The Hozuki Clan, his greatest rival, might have been suppressed.

But the Hozuki Clan had not grown weaker. They had merely been forced into suppression because Genji supported Yagura.

Give them even the slightest opportunity, and they would immediately jump eight feet into the air, trying to drag Yagura down from the Mizukage's throne.

Then a new round of internal conflict would break out in Kirigakure.

Yagura could not possibly leave such leverage in his enemies' hands.

When the item arrived at the Raikage Office Building, the Third Raikage was handling official business. Though he was a hulking man, one of the highland barbarians in Ōnoki's eyes, the Third Raikage was actually capable in every respect.

He was strong, loved making trouble, loved bullying others, loved taking other people's things. When he encountered someone powerful, he could smile and lower his head, and handling government affairs came naturally to him.

The Third Raikage had long received news that the village had had a major conflict with Kirigakure.

He had no particular reaction to it, merely cracking a joke with a smile.
