" Dodai, what do you think?"
After watching the Kirigakure's Anbu walk away, the Third Raikage spoke to Dodai, asking a question.
"I think it's feasible. After all, Iwagakure is quite powerful now, and Kirigakure was just attacked by Iwagakure, so they must be hating Iwagakure the most right now."
After pondering for a while, Dodai spoke.
You make a good point.
The Third Raikage nodded in agreement.
"Furthermore, based on my assessment, Didaze will have little chance of inflicting real damage on you. You can completely ignore his explosive attacks. As for the large-scale explosive attacks targeting the ninja army, you can simply blend the ninja army and the Iwagakure ninja together."
Dodai analyzed Didaze's disadvantages.
Even if the opponent's explosion is indeed very powerful, what if our own people are mixed up with those from Iwagakure?
Are you really going to blow up everyone in Iwagakure)?
Even if they could actually do it, they would be condemned after the war and would never be able to stand in Iwagakure again.
"The idea is good, but there's a problem: how do we blend in with the Iwagakure ninja? They'll definitely attack; they can't just stand by and watch us infiltrate."
The Third Raikage nodded in satisfaction, but then pointed out the plan's shortcomings.
"Then we'll need Lord Raikage to personally clear the way. Have a group of people blend in behind you, while you take the brunt of the explosions. Once the first group has infiltrated, the others will be able to slip in easily with inside help."
Dodai then shared his thoughts.
"Excellent, Dodai, you truly are my best strategist!"
The Third Raikage's eyes lit up, then he patted Dodai on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Furthermore, we can deploy our entire high-end combat force. Given the state of Konoha, it's impossible for them to invade us."
" Sunagakure is the furthest away, and the distance alone would be a huge problem if they wanted to make a move. Meanwhile, Iwagakure and Kirigakure, which are closest to us, are both engaged in war and have no time to attack us."
Dodai finished speaking in one go, then looked at the Third Raikage, waiting for his decision.
That makes sense...
The Third Raikage understood Dodai's meaning and agreed with Dodai idea.
His idea that either we shouldn't fight, or we should mobilize the entire army, coincided with his own.
"Go and inform that Anbu in Kirigakure that I'm going to sign an alliance with the Mizukage in the Land of Iron tomorrow to jointly attack Iwagakure!"
The Third Raikage has officially decided on a war against Iwagakure!
The reason they chose the Land of Iron was because the Third Raikage knew that Konoha was cowardly and wouldn't dare to attack the two Kage first.
If the Third Raikage went straight to his hometown in Konoha to sign the contract, nothing would probably happen.
Hiruzen Sarutobi would have to cheerfully see him and the Mizukage off, and probably even treat them to a meal before they left.
The Third Raikage had long seen through Konoha's decay, but because the opponent was still very powerful, he hadn't taken action yet.
If Konoha ever truly weakens to a certain extent, the first to sound the death knell for Konoha will undoubtedly be Kumogakure.
Soon, the Kumogakure's Anbu summoned the Kirigakure's Anbu back to the Raikage's Office. After a brief conversation, they finalized the agreed time and place.
Meanwhile, the Kirigakure's Anbu, who had reached an alliance, returned to the Kirigakure to report the good news to their Mizukage.
Iwagakure
Didaze's house
"Infuse Chakra into every inch of your skin..."
Didaze is attempting the Dustless Bewildering Cover, a Ninjutsu that requires one to evenly envelop their body with a certain amount of Chakra to master.
This requires the user to have extremely strong Chakra control; even the slightest deviation will prevent successful invisibility.
Didaze has been cultivating for a day, but his progress in the Dustless Bewildering Cover is still quite slow.
Didaze can now only make one of his arms invisible.
However, it seems pointless to hide one arm, since it can still be seen and sensed.
At most, I just can't see or feel this arm anymore; I can still feel other parts of my body.
However, when Didaze came to Ōnoki to tell him, Ōnoki's eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
He had also tried cultivating the Dustless Bewildering Cover, but after several months or even a year, he made no progress.
While it's true that Ōnoki, as the Tsuchikage, didn't have much time to train, the main reason is that the Dustless Bewildering Cover's training is extremely difficult.
Ōnoki offered a few words of encouragement to Didaze, before falling into deep self-doubt.
"Am I really that talented?"
Although Didaze is gone, there is now a sad old man in the Tsuchikage's office.
"Sigh, since we can't find a solution for the time being, why don't we go find the little guy? We haven't seen him much lately."
After Didaze returned home, he tried again but found no progress, so he decided to go see Nanako Uzumaki.
Didaze waited at home until it was time for the Ninja Academy to let out, then went to the academy gate to wait for Nanako Uzumaki.
Didaze stood at the academy gate for a while and finally saw Nanako Uzumaki.
However, she didn't come out alone; she was accompanied by two girls, and they walked outside chatting and laughing.
" Nanako!"
Didaze waved at Nanako Uzumaki, Nanako Uzumaki glanced at Didaze with some confusion.
"Brother Didaze!"
Nanako Uzumaki ran over.
I've been really busy with work lately and haven't had time to visit you. Have you been studying hard?
Didaze said with a smile, holding the little guy's hand.
"I studied hard, and I also made many friends!"
Nanako Uzumaki pointed to the two people who came out with her and said.
" Nanako, you actually know Lord Didaze!"
The two little girls' eyes lit up the moment they saw Didaze.
" Lord Didaze, could you please sign your autograph?"
One of the girls even handed over her notebook and pen, looking like a devoted fan.
"Sure."
Didaze took the pen and quickly signed his name.
" Lord Didaze... why is there only a name?"
The young fangirl took the notebook, scratched her head, and said...
"Besides a name... is there anything else?"
Didaze was also somewhat confused.
" Bomb Maniac! Lord Didaze, your nickname is so imposing, please sign it too!"
The little fangirl grabbed Didaze's other arm and shook it.
Nanako Uzumaki's eyes lit up when she heard that.
Once she learns Sealing Jutsu, she'll Sealing Jutsu every single one of them with the words "Bomb Maniac's Beloved Disciple"!
Didaze signed the four words with a conflicted expression. He couldn't understand why everyone thought such an unpleasant nickname sounded nice.
