"Hmph, Yeyue Ziyun, I have already abandoned the alliance with Konoha as you requested. I hope you will keep your word and not disturb the peace of Sunagakure."
When the Third Kazekage met Ziyun, he didn't act as Haki as when he Danzo; instead, he spoke rather humbly.
He was genuinely afraid that Ziyun would suddenly launch an attack. These 3,000 men were the last elite force of Sunagakure. If they suffered another heavy loss, Sunagakure might as well withdraw from the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
" Lord Kazekage, why be so humble? We can fight the enemy to the death!"
"That's right, Lord Kazekage, why be afraid of him!"
The Sunagakure Ninja nearby, still possessing some backbone, spoke to the Third Kazekage.
Every village has its share of ninjas like this, though most of them are just minor characters.
"Get out of here! Are you a spy sent by Kumogakure? Do you want to bring about the destruction of Sunagakure?" The Third Kazekage shouted coldly, slapping the Sunagakure Ninja was trying to persuade him.
In the face of absolute power, backbone is useless.
Seeing their Lord Kazekage cower like this, the Sunagakure ninja had no choice but to swallow their anger.

"Not bad, Third Kazekage, you're a promising young man. No wonder you're known as the [ Strongest Kazekage ]. Since that's how you are, I won't go to the Land of Wind. Anyway, your country is too poor, and I'm not interested."
After saying that Ziyun left with Mikoto.
That place is even poorer than the Land of Earth, and the Sunagakure's specialty is Puppet Technique, Puppet Technique I'm not interested in.
Even if you master that kind of skill, you'll only ever reach the level of a Kage Level expert. The ceiling is too low; I'm too lazy to waste my energy on it.
Upon hearing this, the Third Kazekage was speechless, almost spitting blood.
Do you think I don't know the Land of Wind is poor? Do I need you to tell me?
If the Land of Wind were wealthy, why would I need to attack the Land of Fire?
The main force of Sunagakure also gritted their teeth, their hatred surging as they watched Ziyun's departing figure, wishing they could stab him to death.
They actually dared to say that Sunagakure was poor; this really hit a nerve with them. Unfortunately, although the Sunagakure hated it, not a single one of them dared to make the first move.
Ziyun didn't care; there was nothing to care about in the hatred of ants.
"Let's go, Mikoto. We've achieved our goal; it's time to head back."
Then Ziyun put his arm around Mikoto and prepared to walk towards the Kumogakure Base.
With Sunagakure and Iwagakure already back, the alliance between the Land of Rain and Konoha will likely dissolve.
" Ziyun, it's over so quickly?"
Mikoto was a little disappointed. It hadn't even been a day, and she hadn't had enough time with Ziyun yet. This honeymoon period was far too short.
"There will be plenty of time after the war ends."
Ziyun noticed Mikoto's mood, took advantage of the situation, and laughed.
It's time for me to establish a relationship with Mikoto. It's not good to keep her hanging on. I'm not a jerk.
Moreover, Mikoto is indeed very suitable to be a wife; she can manage the household perfectly.
Noticing Ziyun's actions, Mikoto lowered her head, blushing, and enjoyed it.
As for Roshi, he had already been knocked unconscious by Ziyun, so he wouldn't have any chance to be a third wheel.
As for whether or not to spare his life, it depends on whether Ōnoki can offer a suitable bargaining chip. Now that they have Dust Release, Iwagakure will not return the Four-Tails to him without incurring a significant financial loss.
" Ziyun, it's so great that Kumogakure has you!"
After Ziyun returned to the Kumogakure camp, the Third Raikage led the Kumogakure's high-ranking officials to greet him.
This time, Kumogakure finally weathered the crisis. The main forces of the Three Great Shinobi Villages retreated one after another, dismantling the enemy alliance without losing a single soldier.
This is entirely due to Ziyun's existence.
In fact, the Third Raikage has remarked more than once that the fact that Kumogakure Yeyue Ziyun is definitely a sign from their ancestors and a blessing from heaven.
If a genius like Ziyun appeared in another village, even a Shinobu village, it would be enough to give me a headache.
"Don't say that, Uncle Raikage. I feel very comfortable staying in Kumogakure."
Ziyun also felt that it wouldn't be bad if he could travel to Kumogakure.
If I were to travel to Konoha, I would definitely have to keep a low profile and hide my strength in the early stages, otherwise it would be too unfair to myself.
Especially considering that he had to act like a subservient grandson to the Konoha F4 all day, Ziyun felt that he definitely couldn't do it.
The Kumogakure was different; for Ziyun, it was a dream start.
"Hahaha, after Konoha surrenders, I will officially hand over the throne to you. At that time, let's take care of your coronation ceremony as the Fourth Raikage and Konoha's surrender together!"
The Third Raikage laughed heartily and patted Ziyun on the shoulder.
He believed that without the Three Great Shinobi Villages, Konoha would not last long.
Even if Konoha does have many talented people, if Kumogakure were to fight Konoha head-on in its current state, Konoha would only suffer a crushing defeat.
This time Ziyun did not refuse to take over as the Fourth Raikage.
Because Ziyun had already figured out the next steps for Kumogakure. To make Kumogakure stronger, it was necessary to gather talents from all over the Shinobi World.
Ideally, he could also create a Devil Fruit -Anbu to supplement the core strength of Kumogakure.
Then Ziyun took down the Scroll of Seals, and just as Ziyun had expected, the Third Raikage looked at the Scroll of Seals as if he hadn't seen it.
He wouldn't ask Ziyun what he planned to do with the Scroll of Seals from Iwagakure; that was Ziyun's prerogative.
The Third Raikage is currently focused on only one thing: ending the war as soon as possible and then promoting Ziyun to the position of the Fourth Raikage.
There are already people in the village stronger than me, so it's time for me, the Raikage, to step down and hand over the reins to the younger generation.
Meanwhile, after the alliance of the Four Great Shinobi Villages disbanded, Hiruzen Sarutobi was restless and unable to sleep soundly. In the end, he sent a ceasefire agreement to Kumogakure.
At Ziyun's insistence, the Third Raikage forcefully demanded that Hiruzen Sarutobi cede the Land of Land of Fire.
"Damn it! Those guys from Kumogakure are going too far!"
Having received another request from the Kumogakure envoy, Hiruzen Sarutobi Chakra a torrent of chakra, cracking the floor of the Hokage's office.
The alliance of the Four Great Shinobi Villages has been broken up by Yeyue Ziyun, and Konoha is truly out of options.
But if he ceded territory, he would definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame in Konoha and never be able to rise again.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was so worried that his hair turned quite a bit white.
"Go ahead and cut it off. What else can you do if you don't? Some people clearly have hidden tricks up their sleeves but refuse to use them, which is why they've ended up like this."
Danzo said in a sarcastic tone.
He was referring, of course, to Hiruzen Sarutobi Reaper Death Seal.
With that technique, he could absolutely trade one for one with Yeyue Ziyun.
Shut up!
At this moment Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't hold back any longer and slapped Danzo hard Danzo the Danzo, leaving five bloody finger marks.
You're worrying yourself sick, and you're still making sarcastic and insensitive remarks. Aren't you just asking for a beating?
" Hiruzen Sarutobi, you...!" Danzo covered his face, too angry to speak.
Danzo felt Danzo wronged, having just been slapped in the face by the Third Kazekage in front of everyone a few days ago, and now Hiruzen Sarutobi had slapped him again.
" Danzo, I've told you, if you spout that nonsense again, you'll face the consequences. Don't think I won't do it!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi glared fiercely at Danzo, his killing intent, typical of a Kage Level expert, radiating from him.
Danzo was also frightened. He could see that Hiruzen Sarutobi was truly determined to kill him, and he decided it was best not to bring up the matter again.
"Hmph, I understand. I won't get involved in this matter anymore." Danzo then withdrew, filled with intense hatred.
" Danzo, the Lord Hokage went too far."
The Root nearby felt a chill run down their spines when they saw the five bloody finger marks on Danzo's face.
How much effort did the Lord Hokage put in?
"You bastard! Shut up!"
Danzo also got angry and slapped the Root henchman across the face, so hard that his own hand hurt a little.
I've been slapped twice for no reason these past few days, and I was just looking for a way to vent my anger. This kid came along on his own initiative, so he deserves it.
However, Danzo felt much better after drawing the item.
This also served as a Danzo -up call for Danzo, reminding him that his own strength was insufficient and that he had no way to counter Hiruzen Sarutobi.
No, I must hurry up and research the Senju Clan's talent to greatly increase my strength.
"It seems Hiruzen Sarutobi still cares about his reputation. Uncle Raikage, there's no need for us to wait any longer. Let's just attack and teach him a lesson."
Several days had passed since the message was sent, but there was still no reply from Konoha, so Ziyun decided not to wait any longer.
Having dealt with Hiruzen Sarutobi so many times, Ziyun has thoroughly figured out Hiruzen Sarutobi's personality.
At crucial moments, if you don't push Hiruzen Sarutobi, he won't be able to make that decision.
Only by teaching him a severe lesson can Hiruzen Sarutobi make up his mind.
" The Kumogakure Village leadership, organize all ninja teams for a full-scale attack on Konoha tomorrow!"
After another meeting, the Kumogakure Village Third Raikage announced preparations for a major counter-offensive against Konoha.
The following day, all 5,000 Kumogakure assembled and set off for Konoha.
In this Fourth Shinobi World War, it can be said that the Kumogakure preserved its strength the most intact, and it almost never suffered any defeats.
Whether it's supplies, the ninjas' physical strength, or their mental state, everything is at its peak.
The sudden action of the 5,000 Kumogakure startled Hiruzen Sarutobi, who quickly mobilized 5,000 Konoha Ninja to set up camp 10 kilometers away from Konoha to block the Kumogakure Ninja.
