Kin Yotsuki slammed his hand on the table, throwing his head back and laughing loudly. His laughter was laced with smugness and ruthlessness. His eyes widened, gleaming with a cunning light, as if he could already foresee the destruction of the Land of Fire. "There's one last major flaw," he declared. "The divine right of kings! Everyone knows that the reason our nobles can enjoy such a privileged life in the ninja world isn't because of our wealth or millennia-old heritage, but because we worship the gods. Yet, the people of the Land of Fire have now killed the shamans and onmyoji of the Land of Tea and the Land of Artisans. They have no fear of the gods whatsoever. All onmyoji and shamans in the world are enemies of the Land of Fire!"
Upon hearing Kin Yotsuki's words, Daimyo was first taken aback, then burst into laughter. His body trembled slightly with laughter, his obese belly heaving, and the wrinkles on his face crinkled together. A cunning and cruel glint flashed in his eyes. "Indeed, the priestess of the Land of Demons was such a kind and pure person, yet she was forced by the Ten'ō to Body Integration with the Moryo."
As he spoke, a hint of schadenfreude lingered in his tone, as if he were recounting a trivial story. But the cold smile playing on his lips betrayed his true feelings. He crossed his arms, leaned back in his chair, and his eyes were filled with disdain for the Land of Fire. "They unleashed such a terrifying weapon, causing immense losses to the vast Land of Earth, and they still can't do anything about the Japanese. Now, the entire Land of Earth's military force is concentrated on defending the Japanese border."
Upon hearing this, the Raikage frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing in his sharp eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He clasped his hands in a fist salute and said solemnly, "In any nation capable of establishing itself, which one doesn't have powerful Onmyoji and sorcerers? Which noble family doesn't have its own trump cards? If the Onmyoji and sorcerers of the world were to start fighting to the death, the world would descend into chaos. The resurrected demons of the Land of Demons and the awakened evil gods of the Land of Hot Water are both invincible forces. Even Madara Uchiha, the Asura of the Ninja World, was helpless against the demons of the Land of Demons. The army of the Land of Water was defeated by the undead legion of the evil god cult."
Upon hearing the Raikage's words, the Daimyo was initially stunned, then a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes. He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, his obese body swaying slightly. His eyes gleamed with greed, as if the throne of the Shinobi World was within his grasp. "After this analysis," he said, "The current crisis is actually our opportunity. As long as we weaken the Land of Fire and Konoha, we will be the overlords of this Shinobi World."
Upon hearing Daimyo's words, a glint of excitement flashed in Kin Yotsuki's eyes. He slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, his thin body trembling slightly. A cunning light shone in his eyes, as if he could already foresee the destruction of the Land of Fire. "What we need to do now is to unite all the nobles in the world, all the wizards, Onmyoji, and sorcerers, and then use any means necessary to enhance the strength of each nation, so that we can launch a full-scale attack and destroy the Land of Fire. We'll use the pretext of all nations jointly dividing the Land of Fire. I believe no nation can resist this temptation."
Upon hearing Yoruzuki Kin Yotsuki's words, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning's eyes flashed with excitement. He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, his obese body swaying slightly. His eyes gleamed with greed, as if he could already see the power of the Land of Lightning. "You're right. I'll start sending people to make contact today. Now that we've said so much, what preparations should our Land of Lightning make?"
A resolute glint flashed in the Raikage's eyes. He clasped his hands in a fist salute and said solemnly, "Our Kumogakure will use the two Tailed Beast to create Jinchūriki. The Jinchūriki is best demonstrated by Mito Uzumaki. Secondly, we will focus on developing ninja technology. In fact, influenced by Konoha's technology in recent years, we have already invented powerful Lightning Release Chakra Cannon. Thirdly, we will comprehensively train ninjas and samurai, striving to increase Raikage's military strength tenfold within five years."
Upon hearing the Raikage's words, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning's eyes flashed with excitement. He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, his obese body swaying slightly. His eyes gleamed with greed, as if he could already see the power of the Land of Lightning. "Very good. We nobles will cover all the expenses of the Kumogakure. I have only one request now: all families must improve my strength by any means necessary. Money if you need money, resources if you need resources."
Upon hearing the words of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, a flicker of excitement flashed in the Raikage's eyes. He slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, his thin body trembling slightly. A ruthless glint shone in his eyes, as if he could already foresee the power of the Land of Lightning. "I will do everything in my power."
Upon hearing the Raikage's words, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning's eyes flashed with satisfaction. He smiled slightly, a kind smile appearing on his plump face, and said to the Onmyoji and the shaman beside him, "Master Hikari and Master Denji, I entrust the communication between the Onmyoji and the shaman to you. Also, the revival of the Thunder God in our Land of Lightning must be prepared."
Upon hearing the words of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, the Onmyoji Hikaru's eyes flashed with excitement. He clasped his hands in a fist salute and said solemnly, " The Land of Lightning two great gods, and I will be responsible for awakening the Thunder God."
Upon hearing the words of the Onmyoji, Dian, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes. He frowned slightly and said in a serious tone, "I can awaken the Sea God, however, the consequences of doing so will be very serious. When these gods truly descend to earth, they bring enormous disasters every time." His tone was filled with worry and helplessness, and he clenched his hands tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.
Upon hearing the wizard's words, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning's eyes flashed with helplessness. He sighed softly, his obese body swaying slightly, and a trace of weariness lingered in his eyes, as if he were stating a heavy truth, "There's nothing we can do about it. We were forced into this situation by Konoha. We can only deal with Konoha's threat first, and then think about how to rebuild the Shinobi World!"
The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning sat high on the throne, his hands clenched tightly, his knuckles white from the force. His deep eyes flickered with complex emotions—a mixture of fear of the Land of Fire, resentment, and suppressed anger. He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful, as if each word required immense effort. "For now, we can only endure. We must not allow any conflict with the Land of Fire."
He paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, especially landing on the Raikage, his eyes carrying a weighty entrustment, "Let their ninjas search for the whereabouts of the Ten'i in our country. We are all welcome to cooperate with them fully."
As he said this, a forced smile appeared on his lips, but it seemed extremely stiff, as if it were being forced out. He continued, "Anyway, we know that Tsubasa's Fourth Middle School has absolutely no connection with our Land of Lightning." He let out a heavy breath, as if exhaling all the resentment in his heart. He continued, "Remember, especially don't offend Senju Tenpuku and Tenmei, who are investigating in the Land of Lightning. You can tell from the women of the Ten Family that this family's strength is extremely terrifying."
The Raikage stood to the side, hands behind his back, his body ramrod straight. His sharp eyes were fixed on the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, his gaze revealing both agreement with the Daimyo's decision and an undisguised resentment and anger. He frowned slightly, his lips pressed into a tight line, seemingly struggling to control his inner turmoil. Hearing the Daimyo's words, he nodded slightly, but the nod was somewhat stiff. He said in a deep voice, "When our own strength is insufficient, we must yield." As he spoke, his fists clenched even tighter, his knuckles turning white again. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sooner or later, we will reclaim all the dignity we have lost." A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
Upon hearing the Raikage's words, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He slowly said, "Now, Third Raikage, you are responsible for training the troops and improving military strength. We nobles will be responsible for contacting nobles from other countries and providing all the funds and supplies needed for training." He clasped his hands together again, leaned forward slightly, his eyes gleaming with determination, his tone filled with resolve and conviction, "We have only one goal: to catch up with the Land of Fire's military strength as quickly as possible..." His voice grew louder and louder until it was almost a shout, echoing throughout the hall, shaking the hearts of everyone present, as if proclaiming the Land of Lightning's rise and its determination for revenge.
