If I weren't here, Kumogakure would likely have been besieged like it is today.
Looking at the Logia Snow- Snow-Snow Fruit lying on the system panel, Ziyun suddenly felt that he could organize a special force after becoming the Raikage.
They are all composed of Devil Fruit User or Kekkei Genkai ninjas, and serve exclusively for me.
As for the candidates, with the Konoha F4 around, they will carefully select Konoha's geniuses.
Anyone who was persecuted by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo must be a genius of Konoha.
In addition, there are geniuses from other ninja villages, such as Pakura, who was betrayed and killed by the Fourth Kazekage, and a large number of Kekkei Genkai Kirigakure. Kumogakure has a pool of potential talents from all over the Shinobi World.
At that time, I won't even need to lift a finger; I can wipe out the other ninja villages.
Ziyun revealed a sly smile, but his immediate priority was to rest and recover his strength.
After consecutive battles against the armies of Sunagakure and Iwagakure, even Ziyun was starting to feel the strain.
After using the Adamantine Sealing Chains to firmly lock Roshi in place, Ziyun prepared to go and rest.
In fact, Roshi was already on the verge of death and would not recover for more than a month, but in order to prevent him from suddenly waking up, biting his tongue, committing suicide, and releasing the Four-Tails, Ziyun still took precautions.
Ziyun then went to rest.
This time, Ziyun slept for two whole days before waking up. The first thing Ziyun did upon waking was to check on Roshi.
Fortunately, Roshi was alright, and Kumogakure even treated his injuries, fearing that he might die from the severity of his wounds.
"Uncle Raikage, has anything been happening in Konoha these past few days?"
Then Ziyun approached the Third Raikage and asked him a question.
"There's been no movement, but the Third Kazekage, Ōnoki, and Hanzo of the Salamander have already led a large force into Konoha."
The Third Raikage said with a solemn expression.
No wonder Ziyun noticed that the people in the Kumogakure Camp all looked somewhat tense.
"Is that so? It seems those two, the Third Kazekage and Ōnoki, didn't feel any pain."
Ziyun hadn't expected that despite his warnings, they would still dare to ally with Konoha. It seemed he had to take drastic measures.
In fact, Ziyun didn't know that the Third Kazekage and Ōnoki couldn't do without an alliance with Konoha.
The One-Tail Jinchuriki and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki are still there, suppressing them. If they don't ally with Konoha, Konoha could kill Jinchūriki on the spot.
Especially Ōnoki, Four-Tails and Five-Tails are now in the hands of others. If these two Tailed Beast are lost, Iwagakure might be eliminated from the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
Therefore, even if Ōnoki doesn't want to form an alliance, he has to come to Konoha. In any case, he must first stabilize the Five-Tails and not lose it.
"By the way, Uncle Raikage, aren't you curious about who the prisoner I brought back that day was?"
Ziyun asked the Third Raikage.
"Well, you'll tell me if you want to, and I don't need to know if you don't. I trust you," the Third Raikage replied decisively.
He really didn't know who Ziyun had brought back; he had never seen this person before.
After all, it had been a long time since the First Shinobi World War, so the Third Raikage naturally couldn't possibly know who the Jinchūriki of Iwagakure was.
However, since Ziyun didn't say anything, the Third Raikage wouldn't ask him directly. Such behavior would be a major taboo among the higher-ups; everyone has their own little schemes.
"That's Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchūriki of Iwagakure."
Ziyun didn't mind and directly revealed Roshi's identity.
This is why Ziyun was so comfortable staying in Kumogakure.
Here, no one will test you at will, and no one will think you are a threat just because you are talented. Therefore, Ziyun generously revealed Roshi's identity.
"You captured the Four-Tails Jinchūriki?" The Third Raikage was shocked. He never expected that the guy Ziyun brought back was actually the Four-Tails Jinchūriki.
"Yeah, serves him right for being so reckless as to challenge me head-on."
Ziyun looked at the unconscious Roshi and almost laughed.
Who told him to be so reckless and choose to fight head-on against his own giant fist?
Actually, bringing Roshi back was an unexpected bonus. If Roshi had insisted on running away, given the survival skills of Kage Level expert, Ziyun wouldn't have been able to capture him alive.
"Hahaha, Ōnoki is probably going to be furious."
Although he wasn't familiar with Roshi, he was familiar with the Third Raikage, Ōnoki, and he could even imagine Ōnoki's furious expression.
In fact, Ōnoki was already furious. He was currently in Konoha, strongly demanding that Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately send troops to attack the Kumogakure forces.
As for the Dust Release technique, Ōnoki hadn't even considered it.
" Third Tsuchikage, you mean the Four-Tails Jinchūriki was captured alive by Yeyue Ziyun?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression upon hearing this news was incredibly complex; he almost burst out laughing.
In Hiruzen Sarutobi's view, among the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Ōnoki was the most threatening.
This guy is just as cunning and ruthless as I am. Now that the Four-Tails is gone, Iwagakure's strength will be greatly weakened, which is a boon for Konoha.
More importantly, this will forge a deeper bond between Iwagakure and Konoha, making them even more determined to fight Kumogakure to retrieve the Four-Tails.
The Third Kazekage, who was standing nearby, almost laughed as well.
He thought Sunagakure was the worst off, but he didn't expect Iwagakure to be even worse off, with their Jinchuriki being captured alive.
" Third Hokage, what's with that expression? Are you deliberately rubbing salt into my wounds?"
Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression, Ōnoki became even more furious, and his tone hardened, carrying a subtle threat.
" Third Tsuchikage, don't misunderstand, I just remembered something funny."
02 Afterwards, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly composed himself and prepared to discuss serious matters.
"Before discussing this matter, shouldn't Konoha be held responsible for the losses suffered by Iwagakure? With a formidable enemy at hand, you didn't even tell Iwagakure any information about Yeyue Ziyun, causing us to suffer a great loss."
Ōnoki's mustache twitched, and his eyes were as big as saucers.
In his view, Konoha should bear at least 70% of the responsibility for this incident.
Faced with Yeyue Ziyun's troublesome Ninjutsu, Iwagakure couldn't find any way to counter it, all because that old bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't told Iwagakure.
Otherwise, Iwagakure wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses.
" Third Tsuchikage, your Iwagakure has no right to negotiate with our Konoha. If you want the Four-Tails back, we'd better think about how to deal with Kumogakure."
At this moment, Danzo also stepped forward and spoke up, leaving Ōnoki with no choice but to comply.
He knew he had suffered a great loss, but now that the Four-Tails was in the hands of Kumogakure, he could only swallow his pride and bear any demands Konoha might make.
Immediately afterward, everyone discussed the matter and, a few hours later, they finalized a general strategy.
With the help of Sunagakure Iwagakure, and the Land of Rain, Hiruzen Sarutobi was brimming with confidence.
In any case, we must avenge this defeat.
" Konoha is preparing to launch a full-scale attack on us."
At the very moment the Four Great Shinobi Villages assembled their forces, the high-ranking officials of Kumogakure also began a meeting.
"At this point, we have no choice but to make one last desperate attempt."
Ziyun was more cautious this time.
The Four Great Shinobi Villages, more than a dozen Kage Level ninjas—I don't have the stamina to deal with so many powerful individuals. I'll just be worn down and killed by them.
Therefore Ziyun only had one last option left: to steal the enemy's base.
Anyway, the Third Kazekage and the Third Tsuchikage have basically brought out all the elite forces from the Land of Earth Land of Wind. Now that he's directly storming into their stronghold, no one can stop him. He doesn't believe that the Third Kazekage and Ōnoki will remain indifferent.
If Ziyun had truly remained indifferent, he wouldn't have lost out; at worst, Kumogakure to the Land of Lightning and abandoned the Land of Fire. However, he had destroyed two great nations in one fell swoop.
However, there's a high probability they'll have to return to their village to provide support; without their homes, there's no point in defeating Kumogakure.
"Uncle Raikage, if Iwagakure and Sunagakure suddenly retreat, it means my plan has succeeded, and our main force doesn't need to move. If Iwagakure and Sunagakure don't retreat, then we will retreat; there's no need to fight them head-on."
After giving some Third Raikage, Ziyun left with Roshi and Mikoto.
That's right, this time Ziyun brought not only Roshi, but also Mikoto.
As for its purpose, it's to release the Tailed Beast from Roshi's body and then let Mikoto control it to help her cause destruction.
" Mikoto, are you nervous?"
Holding Mikoto in one arm and carrying the unconscious Roshi in the other, Ziyun used the power of lightning to reach Iwagakure in less than an hour.
"Hmm... but I'll overcome it for Ziyun's sake," Mikoto said, blushing.
This was the first time she had ever been so close to Ziyun.
To Mikoto, this didn't seem like a raid on another ninja village; it felt more like a honeymoon trip with Ziyun.
If Ziyun knew what Mikoto was thinking, he would definitely complain: women are just too terrifying.
However, Ziyun was confident of victory this time, since these two villages had few elite troops left.
Upon arriving at Iwagakure, Ziyun immediately released Roshi's seal, unleashing the Four-Tails, Son Gokū.
" Mikoto, I've taught you."
"Um!"
Mikoto nodded, activated her Sharingan, and soon the Four-Tails ' eyes transformed into the shape of Sharingan.
Thump, thump, thump, thump!
Mikoto, controlling the Four-Tails, charged towards Iwagakure.
Although the Four-Tails -Four-Tails is among the weakest of the Tailed Beast, it is still an invincible monster for ordinary ninjas.
Before many Iwagakure ninja could react, the Four-Tails began wreaking havoc throughout the village.
" Mikoto isn't yet very skilled at controlling the Tailed Beast."
Ziyun sighed as he watched this scene.
