From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 145 Hiruzen Sarutobi: Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Have I lost?
Lei Ying looked up at the sky, a bitter expression flashing across his face.

In a life-or-death battle, even the slightest mistake can lead to catastrophic consequences.

"Father!"

"Sandaime!"

"Lord Raikage!"

The Cloud Ninja, who were watching from a distance, were furious at the sight.

The Raikage, whom they thought would never lose, not only lost to that guy in battle, but was also cut in half at the waist!

It happened so suddenly!

No one could have predicted that the Raikage, who had clearly held the advantage just moments before and was about to end the battle with a deadly move, would suddenly be defeated.

They were too far away to see clearly what was happening on the battlefield.

However, the bloody truth is right in front of us, and no matter how unwilling we are to believe it, the outcome cannot be changed.

The Third Raikage was cut in half at the waist!

In an instant, the immense psychological impact nearly caused Rui to faint.

If the person next to him hadn't stepped forward and supported his older brother who was about to faint, Rui would probably have hit the back of his head on the ground.

"Kill him! Kill him!!!" Rui, who had recovered slightly, revealed a ferocious and terrifying expression on his face, his anger and hatred intertwined. His twisted eyes stared straight at that spot, and he clenched his fist and slammed it into the ground, letting out a hysterical roar: "Kill him at all costs! Don't let him leave Kumogakure!"

As he said this, he gripped Bi tightly with his other hand.

His fingers turned white from gripping so hard they were practically cracking, but the latter gritted his teeth and endured it without uttering a sound.

"Brother."

Seeing the furious hatred in Rui's eyes, Bi seemed to understand his meaning and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, big brother, I won't let him leave Kumogakure alive!"

Cloud Ninjas from all directions began rushing towards the center of the battlefield.

Every face was filled with deep hatred, as if they wanted to tear the guy who killed the Raikage to pieces!

The first to be affected was naturally the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, whose entire body was covered by the Tailed Beast Cloak, a blood-red chakra cloak, and four tails lashing out in the air, emitting a series of ear-piercing explosions.

"It was my carelessness."

The Raikage, severed at the waist, clung to life with his formidable vitality: "You actually forgot you're an Uchiha."

Although he lost, there was no regret on his face, but rather a sense of satisfaction and exhilaration.

Since his battle with the rampaging Eight-Tails, he hadn't experienced such a thrilling and evenly matched fight in a long time.

"Well done, Konoha ninja." The Raikage, who had been cut in half at the waist, stared at Uchiha Munekichi, as if trying to imprint his image deep in his heart: "You are the only one who has defeated me head-on. Leave your name behind."

"Uchiha Munezuki".

Uchiha Muneki remained silent for a moment before giving his name.

"Uchiha Munezuki, hahahahaha!"

The Raikage chewed for a moment, a satisfied smile spreading across his face: "Good! Uchiha Munetsuki, as the ninja who defeated me, your name will surely be remembered in the new era!"

As the Cloud Ninja approached, Uchiha Muneki slowly turned around and uttered a strange remark: "Goodbye, Third Raikage."

goodbye?

Upon hearing this, Raikage couldn't help but burst into laughter.

There's no chance of seeing him again. He knows his injuries very well; there's no way he'll survive.

Watching the departing figure, Raikage's vision blurred, surrounded by a cacophony of sounds. He could faintly hear Rui desperately calling out, "Don't cry, Rui."

With his last breath, the Raikage looked at the blurry figure in his vision and said, "The Hidden Cloud Village will be in your hands from now on."

Rui, kneeling on the ground, was covered in tears and roared in pain.

However, Raikage could no longer hear. He slowly closed his eyes, and after uttering his last words, he breathed his last.

"From this day forward, you will be the Fourth Raikage."

"Do not!!!"

Rui. No, from this moment on, he should be called 'Ai'.

Before the dead Third Raikage, Rui, kneeling in a pool of blood, officially inherited the title of 'Ai' and became the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure!
The first order the Fourth Raikage gave to Kumogakure was to kill that Uchiha at all costs!
Holding the mangled body of the Third Raikage, A, whose face was covered in mud and tears, seemed to become much more composed in an instant.

However, in those crazed eyes burned an inextinguishable rage, a hatred so intense it seemed to ignite everything, enough to twist one's will. He strode through the ruins, his gaze fixed on the figure being chased by the Cloud Ninja in the distance, and said in a hoarse, hateful voice:
"In the name of the Fourth Raikage, I declare war on Konoha!"

At that moment, far away in Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.

The beautiful woman lying beside him was wrapped in a thin sheet, her graceful and alluring figure clearly outlined, like a series of peaks and undulating hills.

As if sensing his actions, the beauty half-opened her eyes and looked at him with a dazed expression: "What's wrong, Hiruzen?"

"No, it's nothing, maybe I just caught a cold."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling uneasy but unable to pinpoint the source: "By the way, Danzo, what's been happening with Kirigakure and Iwagakure lately?"

Danzo gave him a reproachful look, then flirtatiously tossed a strand of hair aside and said, "The Hidden Mist Village is amassing a large force on the border. As for the Hidden Stone Village, it's unclear for now. The Tsuchikage is too cunning; the Root ninjas can't infiltrate, but I guess they're also amassing forces there."

"It's neither Kirigakure nor Iwagakure."

As Hiruzen Sarutobi was pondering, a name suddenly flashed through his mind. His eyes widened instantly, and he instinctively slapped Danzo on the butt: "Oh no, it's Kumogakure!"

slap~
The flesh rippled and rolled, and Danzo, enraged, slapped him across the face: "What are you doing? Are you crazy?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had just been slapped, didn't bother to explain. He hurriedly put on his clothes and prepared to leave: "This is bad. Something big must have happened in Kumogakure. That brat Uchiha Muneki asked me before he left. Could he have made things worse again?"

"Pshaw, don't dream about it, it's impossible."

Upon hearing the name, Danzo was furious and sneered, "Kumogakure is not Kirigakure. With two Jinchūriki and the Third Raikage, even you might not be a match for them, let alone that kid. What trouble could he possibly cause?"

Now that you mention it, it does seem to make sense!

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been in a panic, immediately calmed down and breathed a slight sigh of relief: "That's right, that's the Third Raikage, someone who can even suppress tailed beasts, there's no way he'd be in trouble."

impossible! Absolutely impossible!
It must be because I've been spending too much time with Danzo lately.

Ah, I'm getting old, I just can't keep up. With that thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi secretly made up his mind to go and visit the Nara family tomorrow.

I'd long heard that the Nara family was skilled at making potions!
"By the way, I heard Orochimaru has made great progress in his research on Wood Release." Danzo, lying on the bed, suddenly spoke up. "I wonder if he told you about this?"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback, then his eyes darkened slightly: "Where did you hear that from?"

"Heh, I have spies among his men."

Danzo smiled mysteriously and said with amusement, "Moreover, according to my spies, Orochimaru seems to be somewhat dissatisfied with you."

"I'll talk to him about this!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed unwilling to dwell on the matter, so he put on his clothes and left the room.

Watching the departing Hokage, Danzo propped herself up on her slender arms, the bed sheet slipping off her body, revealing her exposed skin. Her red lips were slightly pursed, and a strange smile appeared on her alluring face.

"Hiruzen, I will prove to you who is truly worthy of becoming the next Hokage!"

I feel like my brain has been hollowed out...
