Kill Tsuchikage Ōnoki First, Then Take Down Raikage A!

The Kumogakure's temporary base in the Land of Whirlpools.

"Lord Raikage, something terrible has happened! The people from Iwagakure and Kirigakure have acted without any sportsmanship and stolen the Tail-Locking Seal we found in Land of Whirlpools!"

"Out of our squad of over a dozen brothers, only a few of us escaped back."

"Everyone else is dead, sob sob sob... Lord Raikage, you must do justice for us!" A Kumogakure, his face covered in blood, ran from afar, tears welling in his eyes, his face filled with hatred as he complained to the Third Raikage.

"What?! Those bastards from Iwagakure and Kirigakure, you're all courting death!" The Third Raikage said coldly, his face ashen.

"I knew long ago that that short Ōnoki harbored evil intentions and had always plotted against our Kumogakure. And that old bastard Mumei, how dare an Unnamed Kirigakure act so presumptuously in front of me?"

"Damn it, I've always been the one robbing others, but today I'm the one being robbed! Humph!"

"Brothers, grab your weapons, let's go wipe those bastards out!"

Having said that, the Third Raikage flew into a rage and, leading the Kumogakure ninjas, charged menacingly towards the Iwagakure base.

The Tail-Locking Seal is one of the few Sealing Jutsu used by the Uzumaki Clan, besides their own bloodline Sealing Jutsu, that can suppress Tailed Beast.

Everyone knows that Iwagakure has two Tailed Beasts, the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails, but Kumogakure also has the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails. The Two-Tails, that big cat, is usually quite well-behaved, but the Eight-Tails, that big octopus, has a violent temper, and every time it rampages, it causes great losses to Kumogakure.

The Third Raikage grew angrier the more he thought about it. Putting aside who possessed the Tail-Locking Seal, given Ōnoki's ambition, if they were to let Iwagakure take it, the consequences would be unimaginable; the Shinobi World would likely never have peace again.

The Shinobi World only needs Jinchūriki Blue B, Furubi, um... maybe add Mito Uzumaki too, since that old woman is dying soon anyway...

The Land of Whirlpools, the temporary base of Iwagakure.

"What happened?"

Why did so many people die?

The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki of Both Scales, using Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique, quickly flew to the scene. When he arrived, he saw the corpses of Iwagakure Ninja lying haphazardly on the ground, and he frowned deeply.

The nations launched a joint attack on the Land of Whirlpools. As agreed, each Ninja Village had its own location, would not interfere with each other, and would fight independently, with no conflict allowed. This was something that had been agreed upon before the war.

But the corpses of ninjas from various villages lying all over the ground clearly reminded him that someone had already broken the agreement.

"Lord Tsuchikage, we were careless. We didn't expect those bastards from Kirigakure and Kumogakure to attack us so suddenly."

"Not only did so many of our comrades die, but even the Tail-Locking Seal that we worked so hard to obtain was taken away."

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

"Waaaaah... Gray Rock, you died so tragically! We promised to walk together forever!"

The surviving Iwagakure Ninja couldn't help but burst into tears.

Upon hearing this, Ōnoki could no longer suppress his anger and roared in fury.

"What did you say?"

"The Tail-Locking Seal has also been taken away?"

If the two Tailed Beasts of Iwagakure had the help of Tail-Locking Seal specifically designed to counter Tailed Beast, not only would Purple's condition be more stable, but the plan to make the Five-Tails Jinchūriki Plan could also proceed smoothly, and it would even be possible for him to become the Perfect Jinchuriki.

Now someone actually dares to snatch food from the jaws of death in the hands of Iwagakure.

Damn it! Someone is clearly wary of the rise of Iwagakure. How utterly despicable!

Damn it, first that Uchiha brat from Konoha tried to undermine Iwagakure in the Land of Grass, but he tolerated it for the sake of the bigger picture.

Now, some reckless fools dare to provoke Iwagakure; this is intolerable!

Since the villages have already broken off relations, there's no need for him to talk about martial ethics anymore. To hell with peace, he might as well sink the Shinobi World!

"Kumogakure, Kirigakure, since you are so heartless, then don't blame me for being ruthless in return."

Immediately, Ōnoki turned around, looked at the Iwagakure Ninja around him, his face ashen, and shouted loudly, "From now on, kill every single Kumogakure and Kirigakure ninja you see!"

"Avenge our fallen comrades in Iwagakure!"

"At the same time, we must reclaim the lost Tail-Locking Seal."

"Yes!" Upon hearing the order, the Iwagakure ninja, united in their hatred of the enemy, responded loudly in unison.

The temporary base of the Kirigakure Village in the Land of Whirlpools.

"Lord Mizukage, Elder Genshi, this is wonderful news! This is truly a cause for celebration!"

"According to our intelligence, the Iwagakure and the Kumogakure are fighting." Outside the tent, a Kirigakure Ninja rushed in with a scroll in hand, reporting with a gloating expression on his face.

"Oh? Iwagakure and Kumogakure are fighting? It seems the so-called alliance is still too fragile." The Third Mizukage, with his eyes closed and long brown hair, spoke calmly.

"Yes, I heard it's for this, something like the Tail-Locking Seal," the Hidden Kirigakure Ninja said with a smile, handing over the scroll in his hand.

The Genji took the scroll and handed it to the Third Mizukage.

"The Tail-Locking Seal?" The Third Mizukage quickly opened his eyes, unrolled the scroll, and carefully examined it.

This Sealing Jutsu, like the Four Symbols Seal, possesses a powerful suppressive force against Tailed Beast, and can be considered one of the Uzumaki Clan's trump cards.

Sunagakure Hashirama Senju distributed the Tailed Beast, they were the only ones who didn't want the Tailed Beast but only wanted money. However, it's said that Shamon not only developed the Magnet Release bloodline limit with the One-Tail Beast but also found Jinchūriki who was compatible with the Tailed Beast.

In Iwagakure, I've only heard that the Four-Tails has Jinchūriki, but it doesn't seem to be very stable yet. As for the Five-Tails, the Jinchūriki Plan probably hasn't been initiated yet. Otherwise, if both Tailed Beast went berserk at the same time, it wouldn't be so easy for that kid Ōnoki to suppress them.

The Kumogakure, I wonder where they got the Iron Armor Seal from. I heard that the current Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is called Blue B, and he's related to the Third Raikage A, A. However, the Jinchūriki's condition is the same, not very stable.

As for Konoha, Mito Uzumaki, the wife of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, has never been known to have the Nine-Tails rampage since becoming Jinchūriki, and is known as the Perfect Jinchuriki.

Only Kirigakure, lacking effective Sealing Jutsu, had no choice but to let the Three-Tails and Six-Tails roam freely. Fortunately, those two monsters didn't like to wander off and stayed peacefully in their habitat. Now, with this Tail-Locking Seal, as long as they find suitable Jinchūriki, Kirigakure will surely rise to prominence in no time.

At that time, in this vast Shinobi World, Kirigakure might also have a chance to become the dominant force.

Thinking of this, the Third Mizukage, Unnamed, felt a surge of excitement.

Just then, the excited voice of the Kirigakure Ninja rang out from inside the tent.

"Lord Mizukage, now that the Land of Whirlpools has been destroyed, Konoha has lost its maritime barrier, and its strength must be weakened. Why don't we march straight in and attack the Land of Fire, catching Konoha off guard?"

"We, Kirigakure, possess the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, a deadly weapon, and many ninja clans that are no weaker than Konoha, such as the Hōzuki, Yuki, and Kaguya clans, all of whom have powerful Kekkei Genkai. If we launch a war now, we might be able to take over the bountiful Land of Fire, and then Kirigakure will become the overlord of the Shinobi World!"

"Furthermore, with the Kumogakure and the Iwagakure currently locked in a fierce battle, we can take advantage of their weakened state and reap the benefits. Afterward, we'll first kill the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, then destroy the Third Raikage A, and then..." The Mist Kirigakure became more and more excited as he spoke, as if the future of the Kirigakure Kage unifying the Shinobi World was just around the corner.

"Shut up! You're too naive, Baihe." Genji interrupted him, turning to the Third Mizukage to calmly analyze the situation.

"The Third Raikage is a monster known for possessing both the Strongest Spear and the Strongest Shield. Such a Lightning Release ninja is the perfect counter to our Kirigakure."

"Secondly, Ōnoki not only possesses the Dust Release kekkei Kekkei Tōta, which has astonishing destructive power, but more importantly, he can also fly, allowing him to leave at any time."

"One is indestructible, and the other can fly. How easy is it to keep them in the Land of Whirlpools?"

At this point, Genji paused briefly before continuing, "Lord Mizukage, now that Kirigakure has obtained the Tail-Locking Seal, Iwagakure and Kumogakure might join forces against us."

The Third Mizukage, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, "Genji is right. What we need to do now is to immediately withdraw from the Land of Whirlpools, return to the Land of Water, and begin implementing the plan to Jinchūriki."

Then, he looked at the Kirigakure Ninja named Baihe and said indifferently, "And what you said about attacking the Land of Fire? That's utterly foolish!"

"Leaving aside the ninja legions stationed in the east by Konoha, do you think our Kirigakure clan alone has enough strength to take on Konoha one-on-one?"

"The only hope of attacking Konoha is Multiple Countries coalition like tonight. Don't bring up that again."

He still needs to deal with those unruly Kekkei Genkai Clan in the village. As the saying goes, to fight external enemies, one must first secure internal stability. Konoha is in no hurry; they will take care of things in the future.

Hearing the Third Mizukage's words, Genji secretly breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he hadn't lost his temper...

The ninja named Baihe could no longer offer any advice. He scratched his head, looking ashamed, and said, "I didn't think things through. Please forgive me, Lord Mizukage."

The Third Mizukage didn't take it to heart, waving his hand to signal him to step back.

Baihe bowed respectfully, then turned and walked out of the tent, his eyes filled with resentment.

Hmph! They didn't fall for it. These ninjas are all pretty smart.

Hmm... never mind, I've already tried my best, I should go back first.

Speaking of which... what exactly does the urge to defecate feel like?
