If This Happens Again, Kumogakure Will Have No Reason to Exist!
With this thought in mind, Ai raised his eyes and gazed calmly at the towering, pale purple Susanoo giant. He spoke in a deep voice, "Kagami Uchiha! I know what you mean. Regarding the matter of the Land of Whirlpools, I have already led our brothers from Kumogakure to fight Ōnoki, a journey of thousands of miles!"
"For this, many ninja from Kumogakure died. Is this explanation still not satisfactory to you?"
The Third Raikage's voice was deep and resonant, echoing between the canyon walls.
Upon hearing this, Kagami Uchiha's face instantly turned frosty. He said in a deep voice, "Oh? Is this your explanation to me? Is such a paltry price comparable to the blood feud of the Uzumaki Clan, a blood alliance that has lasted for generations in Konoha?"
"So, you're going to use this as a reason to forcibly abduct our Kumogakure's Tailed Beast?" The Third Raikage's eyes were cold, his tone heavy, carrying a hint of suppressed anger.
Upon hearing this, Kagami Uchiha stood beside the Two-Tails, his expression calm and undisturbed.
As if in response, the Matatabi beside it drooped its furry animal ears, its dark blue flames quietly receding, and its fluffy long tail gently brushed against Susanoo's massive legs. Its posture was affectionate and docile, showing no signs of being abducted, and its attitude was self-evident.
Seeing this, Kagami Uchiha met the Third Raikage's gaze and said calmly, "Your Kumogakure's Tailed Beast?"
"The Two-Tails roams the deep mountains and wilderness, and has never been subdued or controlled by the Kumogakure, so how can it be said to belong to you?"
Upon hearing this, the Third Raikage's brows furrowed sharply, and lightning around him instantly surged violently, accompanied by a piercing crackling sound.
"Hmph! Don't give me that crap. The Two-Tails was sold to our Kumogakure by your First Hokage Konoha, Hashirama Senju, for a hefty price!"
"This matter is known throughout the entire Shinobi World. What? You want to deny it?"
"Or are you planning to reignite the war between Kumogakure and Konoha?"
Upon hearing this, Kagami Uchiha's expression grew increasingly impatient, and he coldly retorted, "If the First Hokage sold it to you, then go ask him for it back. I've never heard of any such thing as selling Tailed Beast."
"I only discovered the Two-Tails by chance. After a friendly exchange, the Two-Tails has agreed to come and live with me in Konoha!"
"And another thing, you keep talking Lord Hashirama; do you want me to send you down to the Pure Land to find him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Third Raikage's expression grew increasingly grim. His volatile and impulsive nature almost caused him to attack directly.
But when he looked up and saw the towering, imposing Susanoo in its complete form, the anger surging in his chest was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water.
Damn it! Kagami Uchiha! How dare you use your power to bully others?
Susanoo... Is that the Dōjutsu that killed Kinkaku and Ginkaku...?
Such power, let alone the Kinkaku and Ginkaku, even if the First Raikage were to be resurrected...
The Third Raikage stared intently at Kagami Uchiha, his heart sinking.
The Two-Tails has already been subdued by Kagami Uchiha. Trying to forcibly take it would likely come at a price that the Kumogakure could not afford.
With this thought in mind, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Kagami Uchiha, what exactly do you intend to do?"
"What do I want? Hehe..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his right hand, and the giant purple katana in Susanoo's hand instantly pointed at the group of ninjas from Kumogakure. The heavy blade, accompanied by a huge whooshing sound, crushed the surrounding airflow.
Then, with a flick of his wrist, Kagami Uchiha swung his massive katana fiercely towards the towering mountain peak to the side.
With a loud bang!
A deafening, earth-shattering sound suddenly erupted.
The solid mountain was instantly shattered and collapsed by this blow, the entire mountaintop was directly cleaved flat by this one strike, followed by flying rocks everywhere, billowing dust rising into the sky, and the entire canyon trembling violently.
The attack startled the Matatabi beneath his feet, causing its fur to stand on end. The Matatabi turned to look at the scene in the distance and felt incredibly fortunate.
Thank goodness I begged for mercy early...
If it takes this blow, it'll probably die on the spot, entering a long period of resurrection...
That Uchiha is definitely a bad guy... I absolutely mustn't... mess with him...
Youriku wasn't the Matatabi one who witnessed the destructive power of this attack; the Third Raikage A, turned extremely pale with the force of the blow.
He knew very well that Kagami Uchiha was blatantly demonstrating and intimidating them to their faces.
But there was nothing he could do about it!
As the Raikage Kumogakure of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, how could he just stand by and watch his Tailed Beast be taken away by Kagami Uchiha?
But faced with Kagami Uchiha's overwhelming power, he couldn't muster even a shred of fighting spirit. The two were simply on completely different levels.
He's reckless, but not stupid.
As the dust settled, Kagami Uchiha looked down at A, whose face was ashen, and said indifferently, "Hmph! I'm in a good mood right now and have no intention of doing anything."
"If I truly intended to attack you, I wouldn't be standing here right now, but at the gates of your Kumogakure!"
"The fate of that mountain is a warning I'm giving you."
At this point, Kagami Uchiha's tone grew even colder. "I can forgive you for what happened in the Land of Whirlpools. But wrongdoings must have consequences, and the Two-Tails will serve as compensation from your Kumogakure!"
"Got it, Ai! Don't sit crookedly or stand in line haphazardly next time."
"If this happens again, your Kumogakure will have no reason to continue existing in the Shinobi World."
Think carefully about what I said, and don't say you weren't warned!
With that, Uchiha casually reached out and grabbed the Two-Tails by the scruff of its neck. The docile Matatabi obediently shrank back, offering no resistance whatsoever.
Then, with a slight push of his feet, the complete Susanoo and upright, rose from the ground and soared into the air. Carrying the Two-Tails, it transformed into a purple streak of light and sped straight towards Konoha.
With Kagami Uchiha's departure, the entire canyon was left with only a mess and a group of Cloud Kumogakure.
The Third Raikage A, stood silently in place, his gaze fixed on the rapidly receding figure. The lightning around him pulsed wildly, his anger burning within him, unable to find an outlet.
Kagami Uchiha!
Remember this! The humiliation you brought to Kumogakure will never be forgotten by the millions of Kumogakure!
One day...
Just then, Kumogakure from Kumogakure Jonin forward and cautiously spoke, "Lord Raikage, the Uchiha's Kekkei Genkai is truly terrifying. However, I have heard of a clan that could rival the Uchiha's Sharingan in terms of Dōjutsu!"
"Oh? What family? Where are they now?" Upon hearing this, the Third Raikage quickly turned his head and asked impatiently.
"That family is called the Chinoike Clan. It is said that they committed a terrible crime a long time ago, and the entire clan was exiled to Hell Valley by our Daimyo of the Land of Lightning."
"Furthermore, the Uchiha Clan was responsible for guarding them in the first place; it can be said that the two clans inherently harbor hatred towards each other!"
Upon hearing this, the Third Raikage brightened, and he muttered to himself, "Hell Valley? The Land of Hot Water?"
"Hehe... this is truly a stroke of luck."
"Kagami Uchiha, our feud isn't over yet!"
