Naruto the Genius

Chapter 318: Sneak Attack on Konoha
Ma Buyi shook her head and said, "If possible, I hope not to do this. In the previous battle, Konoha gave us a lot of help. If we do this, I am afraid that in the end..." Ohnoki interrupted her and said, "After all, we are young and don't understand the cruelty of war and the interests between countries. We have no choice."

Sackbuy shook his head and said, "Objectively speaking, now is the best time to attack Konoha. But I still have something to say to Raikage-sama." Raikage nodded in agreement. Sackbuy said, "Raikage-sama, can't you reconsider it?" Facing Sackbuy's question, Raikage was silent again. It was indeed too unethical to do so.

Tsuchikage said: "Raikage, I admit that we went too far before this, and even our own ninjas were disappointed with us. If we still had room to change our minds before this, things have come to this point. Once Konoha wins, this will be the best reason for them to deal with us, until then."

Sackcloth interrupted him and said, "Tsunade-sama of Konoha has inherited the style of the Third Hokage. Even at that time, she should not be willing to start a war. As long as we do not take the initiative to deal with Konoha, the Hokage will not increase the killing." Hearing this, the Raikage was really shaken and began to lower his head and keep silent. The Mizukage said, "That's indeed the case. In the end, as long as we apologize to Konoha, at most we will lose our prestige. For our country, it has indeed avoided major losses, so it's still..."

The Tsuchikage said, "I'm afraid, things are not what you think." The Raikage suddenly grabbed the Tsuchikage and roared, "You keep provoking conflicts again and again. What do you want? How many elite ninjas has Kumogakure lost so far?" Ohnoki said, "Do you remember about Danzo? Although that guy has been missing for a long time." When the Tsuchikage said this, the Raikage immediately remembered this guy called Shadow of Darkness. His methods were indeed completely different from Tsunade's.

The Tsuchikage struck while the iron was hot and said, "Just like you can't decide everything about Kumogakure, Tsunade can't decide everything about Konoha." This reminded the Raikage of his previous opposition to war. Even as the highest-ranking Kage in the village, he was sometimes forced to do things that went against his original intentions. Thinking of this, the Raikage let go of Oonoki's clothes and gritted his teeth and said, "What is the Tsuchikage going to do?"

Before the Tsuchikage could speak, Ma Buyi spoke first: "As the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Uzumaki Naruto is one of the three ninjas together with the Hokage. He will definitely support the Hokage. Even if others have objections, as long as the Hokage and the Daimyo agree..."

Tsuchikage said, "Here is the problem. Let's think back to everything that happened before this. Although Uzumaki Naruto's behavior is similar to that of the Hokage, there is an essential difference between the two. Unlike the Hokage's mercy, this man will try to weaken our strength whenever he has the chance. Think about all the wars so far, and how many of our ninjas have died under Uzumaki Naruto's ninjutsu. He is more like an ambitious man full of justice!"

Ohnoki emphasized the last few words, "an ambitious man full of justice", and it was these words that made everyone sink. Those present, who were qualified to be here, were the most intelligent people in several major countries. At first, no one thought about it, but Ohnoki's words woke them up. In the end, Ohnoki's age was not lived in vain, and he was the first to notice Naruto's ambition.

At this point, even Sackboy, who had been opposed to the idea, remained silent. The truth was most likely consistent with what Ohnoki said. The Mizukage said, "It seems that a war is inevitable. We cannot afford to fail in this war, or we will face the danger of losing our country!" Sackboy said, "The problem is that if we attack Konoha at this time, even our own ninjas may not support us."

After this was said, everyone present fell silent. The Mizukage said, "Even if Konoha is fighting against Akatsuki, our chances of winning are still not great." The Tsuchikage said, "First of all, we have many problems ourselves. Secondly, Konoha's strength has exceeded our imagination. We already know a lot of excellent ninjas, and there may be ninjas we don't know about. Therefore, we must launch a surprise attack while their attention is on Akatsuki. Otherwise, there will be no chance at all."

The Raikage slammed the table and said, "I hate doing this kind of thing the most. The surprise attack will be left to the Tsuchikage. Take this mission as the first priority, and you can choose the ninjas at will." The Tsuchikage did not refuse, and crossed his hands in front of his chest and said, "This mission is left to me, Mizukage, you can come with me. The rest of the matter is up to you, Raikage."

With that, the Tsuchikage flew out to select the ninjas to join him. The Mizukage said, "Chojuro, follow me." Then he ran out with the Tsuchikage. The Raikage said to Mabui beside him, "Mabui, notify the troops to gather immediately. After the Tsuchikage selects the ninjas, the others will follow me." Mabui immediately gave the Raikage's order.

At this time, it was already late at night. Although there was still a moon in the sky, it was still very dark. Most of the ninjas in Konoha were still paying attention to Naruto's battle. Even the ninjas who were resting were probably worried about this matter. Because Akatsuki's actions were very strange, Konoha also put a lot of effort in perception. Whether in the sky, underground, or on the seaside, there were ninjas responsible for vigilance.

In a sentry post, several ninjas were on guard duty, and they would look around from time to time. Suddenly, a white light flashed over, and everyone including the sentry disappeared. Ohnoki killed a sentry post, and there was almost no movement. He nodded and continued to sneak in with the troops behind him. However, what he didn't expect was that one of these people was just a clone, and the clone's real body was still in the next sentry post. It was precisely to deal with emergencies like this that Konoha came up with this method.

The news quickly reached Konoha's headquarters. The ninja in charge of communications immediately walked up to Tsunade and said, "One of our outposts was suddenly destroyed by the enemy, and all the ninjas responsible for guarding it have died!" Tsunade said, "Who are the enemies?" The communications ninja said, "I don't know. According to the news over there, a white light flashed, and then there was nothing."

Tsunade frowned and said, "Tsuchikage, don't really do as Naruto said."
