Kirigakure Camp.
" Lord Mizukage, the Anbu's signal has arrived. Naoki Senju is sealing the Nine-Tails. Shall we proceed with the planned attack on Konoha?"
Having broken the seal on his right eye, Ao excitedly reported to Mei Terumi that Konoha, facing immense pressure, had become helpless and had chosen to reseal the Nine-Tails at such a sensitive time to enhance Naoki Senju's strength.
Naoki Senju sealed the Three-Tails of Kirigakure, but the One-Tail of Sunagakure was still not satisfied and once again extended its demonic hand to its own Nine-Tails.
This is practically an opportunity bestowed upon Kirigakure by the Sage of Six Paths!
Looking down at the intelligence reports from the front lines Mei Terumi raised her alluring face. The faint dark circles under her eyes revealed Mei Terumi fatigue and the pressure she was under. However, Mei Terumi did not rush to reply to Ao. As the Kage of the village, Mei Terumi had more to consider.
Iwagakure had anticipated that Kumogakure would betray Mei Terumi. If conditions allowed, Mei Terumi would have done so without hesitation Kirigakure. Unfortunately, the geographical location of the Land of Water limited the actions of Mei Terumi Iwagakure Kumogakure.
Separated from the other four great nations by the sea, the Land of Water and Kirigakure enjoyed a peaceful environment, but this also limited Kirigakure's expansion and development. In addition, the damage caused to Bloody Mist Village Kirigakure made it clear that Kirigakure was the one that most desired the territory of the Land of Fire and Konoha.
However, the Fourth Raikage's decision forced Mei Terumi to weigh the pros and cons. The battle between Kumogakure and Konoha was currently in the lead, and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Two-Tails Jinchūriki had not yet entered the battlefield. Kumogakure was still preserving its strength, which meant that Kumogakure had the basic strength to become the final winner.
If Kirigakure and Konoha were locked in a deadly battle, Kumogakure suddenly broke through the front lines, both Konoha and Kirigakure would be in grave danger, and could even be wiped out by Kumogakure.
"Can we spare some of our forces to intercept the Kumogakure?"
Faced with Mei Terumi's question, Ao lowered his head in shame. Although the Bloody Mist Village Kirigakure was not something that could be recovered in a short time.
Dealing with a weakened Konoha already requires Kirigakure to exert all its strength; Kirigakure simply doesn't have the resources to intercept Kumogakure right now.
Looking at the silent Ao, Mei Terumi clearly understood the current situation of Kirigakure. She had always known this, but she was unwilling to accept it.
But as the Mizukage of Kirigakure, Mei Terumi could not be discouraged by others, so Ao's shame did not last long before he heard Mei Terumi's clear and melodious voice.
"Ao, the future of Kirigakure will be decided by us, so we absolutely cannot lose this war, understand?"
Qing took a deep breath and straightened her back perfectly:
"Ao will absolutely not let the Lord Mizukage down!"
Kumogakure Camp.
Compared to Kirigakure, which hid in the shadows and was ready to move at any time, Kumogakure was in a much better condition. Earth Release ninjas used Ninjutsu to build temporary dwellings. Although they were not very well organized, the camp had a complete drainage system. It is not hard to see that Kumogakure had the most experience in external invasion.
"Hey, big brother's cowering here, has his hemorrhoids flared up again? Why don't I lead the team and crush Konoha in one fell swoop? Yay!"
You bastard!
The Fourth Raikage A, had veins bulging on his forehead. He shouldn't have let Killer B learn rap in the first place; it made the entire Kumogakure suffer.
He suppressed the urge to beat Killer B, because a real war could break out at any moment, and if he beat Killer B to the point of being bedridden with injuries, he wouldn't have enough top-tier combat power.
"Hmph, that woman from Kirigakure hasn't made a move yet, and you're so eager to clash head-on with Konoha? Are you trying to clear the way for Kirigakure, you idiot!"
"Yo yo, you jerk, you idiot, big brother."
This time, the Fourth Raikage couldn't hold back any longer. Although he knew it was Killer B's catchphrase, Killer B had been getting increasingly out of control lately, and if he didn't teach him a lesson, he might not be able to discipline him in the future.
The Fourth Raikage grabbed Killer B's head with his large, fan-like hand and slammed it hard into the ground. With a loud bang, the Fourth Raikage's powerful force created deep cracks in the ground. Killer B was a little dizzy from the impact, but he still didn't forget to continue taunting A's nerves.
"That violent older brother is truly terrifying..."
The Kumogakure Anbu who came in to check on the situation were already used to it. Without the Fourth Raikage's orders, they had already lifted the unconscious Killer B and were preparing to take him back to Killer B room. For Jinchūriki, such injuries would probably have fully healed before he even reached the medical ward.
"Wait a minute, has any intelligence from the ninjas monitoring Konoha come back? Has anything changed in Konoha recently?"
The two Anbu Kumogakure carrying Killer B and legs exchanged bewildered glances; they weren't in charge of intelligence either...
It seems the Fourth Raikage is still quite unfamiliar with the division of responsibilities within the Anbu... The Anbu Ninja could only bite the bullet and reply:
"The intelligence ninjas haven't sent back any information yet, but the number of personnel on the Konoha front has increased significantly recently, likely transferred from the Iwagakure front. The most important piece of intelligence for Konoha recently is that Tsunade has become the Fifth Hokage."
The Fourth Raikage certainly knew this information, or rather, almost all the Kumogakure knew it. But this was just a small trick the Fourth Raikage used to verify the identities of the Anbu. The best code is no code at all. If it were Konoha or Kirigakure spy, they might just casually reveal some unfamiliar information.
Although the Fourth Raikage was a reckless man, he was not a mindless one. On the contrary, he was usually very cautious. However, he seemed to become a completely different person when fighting, trading injury for life and life for injury, completely disregarding his own injuries and life or death, and doing whatever he wanted.
"Alright, you can go now. Tell Killer B to come see me when he wakes up."
"Yes, Lord Raikage."
The command center in Kumogakure fell silent once again. The Fourth Raikage, who usually ignored everything in Kumogakure, was now intently reading the various intelligence reports sent back by the intelligence ninja.
As the Fourth Raikage who inherited the name 'A', he needs to shoulder the responsibility and be accountable for Kumogakure.
The Fourth Raikage A, didn't take the Iwagakure troops who sneaked into the Land of Lightning seriously. At Ōnoki's age, it was impossible for him to lead the team himself, so it could only be led by Kitsuchi. It was nothing short of a pipe dream for Kitsuchi alone to think that he could conquer the Kumogakure, which was guarded by the Two-Tails Jinchūriki.
As for the fact that the Land of Lightning's property was looted by Iwagakure, A was even less concerned.
The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning has been living in comfort for over a decade, yet he dares to attempt to cut military spending in the Kumogakure. It's time to teach the young Daimyo of the Land of Lightning a lesson...
