Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

Chapter 252: Madara: Jingyan is on the first floor, and I...

The Raikage sat in the temporary office and carefully read the information that Ai had written down, his expression extremely solemn.

According to what is said above...

"Ryoumine Kyouhiko's strength has improved again, and Hatake Kakashi's strength is also improving rapidly. Although he has not yet reached the level of those two, he is at least an elite jonin."

"Why is Konoha so powerful!?"

The Third Raikage leaned back in his chair, feeling a surge of powerlessness in his heart.

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall what he had seen and heard in Konoha.

Could it be that Konoha's education model is really more likely to produce geniuses?
Boom boom boom!
There's a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The Third Raikage sat up straight and rubbed his face, wiping away the fatigue and decadence.

He looked towards the door.

Tutai and Ai walked in from outside, one in front and one behind.

"How does Konoha respond?"

"At present, Konoha has not responded to this. It may be that the information communication between Konoha and the Snow Country team is not very perfect."

Tutai replied.

Ai was full of energy and could hardly contain himself.

"This means that Ryomine Kyouhiko is not in the Snow Country! Father... Lord Raikage, I think we should go to the Snow Country and bring Killer Bee back!"

"The Land of Snow."

The Third Raikage was also struggling internally.

There is no doubt that it would cost a huge price to recover Kirabi through normal channels, and the Hidden Cloud Village may not be able to afford such a loss at the moment.

but.

To the Land of Snow...

"What if it's another trap?"

Before the Raikage could speak, Dodai had already expressed his doubts.

From this statement and Jingyan's previous strategic style, it can be judged that this young boy is full of bad intentions.

This is not the first or second time that sting enforcement has been carried out.

The Third Raikage glanced at Ai.

"Do you remember what happened with the Third Kazekage?"

The Third Kazekage...

Ai was speechless for a while.

Of course he remembered that the Third Kazekage was inexplicably ambushed and killed by Konoha. From the information they collected later, it was highly likely that Konoha had mastered the method to crack the "Magnetic Release".

Then, he used the method of breaking the magnetic escape technique to ambush the Third Kazekage.

He was about to speak when he suddenly stopped.

My father mentioned the Third Kazekage at this time...

"Are you saying that the Third Kazekage's death was also planned by Ryomine Kyouhiko?"

He was in disbelief.

The Third Raikage nodded slightly.

"We previously speculated that it might be Orochimaru. Although Ryomine Kyohiko had some doubts, he didn't think he would have had such an opportunity at the time..."

"Now look, it's this guy!"

He took a deep breath.

Who could have thought that when he was just over ten years old, Orochimaru dared to hand over Konoha's ninja army to Kyohiko for command and let a child plan the direction of a war.

For Konoha, this is a huge gamble.

but.

Konoha won!

He exhaled slowly.

"Continue to contact Konoha and find a way to get Killer Bee back, or... forget it, let's just follow the plan."

The Third Raikage originally wanted to let Ai follow and wait for news from them.

If Ryoumine Kyouhiko is not in Konoha, it means that the guy himself is also in the Snow Country.

in this way……

The Snow Country is a trap!
but.

Even if that guy is in Konoha, he is handling things in the Anbu or somewhere else, so he can't represent anything.

On the contrary, if they go to the Snow Country, it is easy for both sides to make wrong decisions due to intelligence and make similar mistakes again.

The Hidden Cloud Village can no longer afford a second mistake!
……

On the northern sea.

The ship had been drifting for several days and Kai had completely lost his fighting ability. He lay on the bed like a salted fish, exuding dejection.

At this moment, he was completely different from the one on land.

Shikaku finished reading the scroll and was about to speak, but Kyohiko suddenly waved his hand and walked over to the amber to cast a spell, causing vines to crawl all over the amber stone.

These vines will absorb and block sounds and sights from inside and outside, forming a second line of defense outside the amber stone.

The third way...

It is the soundproof barrier around them.

"Leave a part of the Eight-Tails behind..."

Shikaku pondered.

Then, he looked at Jing Yan: "The octopus tail you threw away before..."

"Yeah, that's chakra too."

Jingyan nodded.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I can use that tail as a trigger and use Wood Release to draw the chakra out of Killer Bee's body, but this requires a certain amount of time and space."

"We'll set up the arrangement in the Snow Country?"

"can."

Wood Release has the ability to absorb chakra.

but.

Wood Release absorbs chakra, which is more used to strengthen oneself rather than condense into an individual clone.

The previous Nine-Tailed Fox was able to split into two clones because it was cooperating with the output at that time, making it more convenient for Jingyan to export and seal it.

But now, the Eight-tailed Gyu-ki is getting along well with Killer Bee, so it is obviously unlikely that the Eight-tailed will cooperate.

At that time, we will have to resort to force.

Kirabi has woken up at this moment, but his vision is blurry and no sound can come in. He can only breathe through his nose and mouth.

"Fool……"

Kirabi was just about to "chant".

At this moment, everything in front of my eyes was dark.

He was drawn into the spiritual communication world of the cow and ghost.

"I advise you not to talk nonsense."

"What's wrong? I can't even curse!"

Kirabi was indignant.

He never imagined that his Tailed Beast Ball not only failed to help the Hidden Cloud Village, but instead blew up the village's ship.

If it weren't for Ai's shout, he might even have been able to kill or seriously injure Ai with the Tailed Beast Ball.

If so...

He couldn't even forgive himself!

"I don't know what happened to my brother."

Kirabi sat slumped in the dark space, feeling hesitant and confused, not knowing what the future would be like.

The cow ghost was silent.

It also didn't expect that Jing Yan's strength was so terrifying, and that just a wooden clone possessed such terrifying combat power.

Although he had taken advantage of the sneak attack, even if there had been no sneak attack, it would only be a matter of time to deal with the brothers Ai and Kirabi. If they were in the other's place...

Even if Jingyan only had his wooden clone, he would definitely not be afraid of them.

It thought for a long time and sighed, "Based on the current situation, at least we can be sure that your eldest brother is not dead. At most, he is just injured."

"Really? How did you know!"

Kirabi was a little surprised.

"After you fell asleep, I was still conscious enough to sense the situation outside. At that time, your eldest brother rushed out of the explosion to fight..."

Niu Gui gives a simple explanation.

After hearing Niu Gui's description, Kirabi felt much more at ease.

"That's good."

What he was most worried about was Ai's safety. Now that he heard that his elder brother was safe and sound, he felt relieved. As for his own condition.

In the current situation, it is useless to think too much.

……

Dark underground cave.

Black Zetsu just came back from the outside world and reported that he had completed the task of facilitating cooperation among the three ninja villages.

Soon.

A White Zetsu emerged from underground.

"Sir, something happened!" "Huh?"

Madara looked at him, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

White Zetsu's head shrank suddenly, realizing that Obito was still here.

Obito now is not the same as before.

After awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, his abilities skyrocketed and he is no longer the same as when he first arrived.

He is now...

It’s not that easy to fool!
and.

Even Uchiha Madara, in his current state, needs to use and defend at the same time.

Obito's eyes had already glanced over quietly.

Madara nodded slightly.

Bai Zetsu said: "My Lords, the ship of the Hidden Cloud Village had a battle with others. I am not very clear about the details, but Killer Bee did not come back, and Ai was injured."

"Was there a fight?"

Black Zetsu immediately realized what that meant.

The Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Iwa Village have already cooperated with the Hidden Cloud Village, so it is impossible for them to have friction with the Hidden Cloud Village's ships at sea.

Then there is only one.

Konoha!

The current Konoha Village is at its most powerful since the death of Hashirama Senju, comparable to the period when Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju joined forces.

How could Konoha be afraid of the ship from the Hidden Cloud Village...

Bai Zetsu replied: "It should be, but we have no advantage at sea, so we don't know the specific situation. This is all we know for now."

"understood."

Madara waved his hand, signaling him to go down.

Bai Zetsu quietly hid.

It's becoming increasingly unbearable to stay in this place nowadays!
After White Zetsu left, Madara looked at Obito and smiled faintly.

"Konoha has already begun."

"You mean, Konoha wants to start a war?"

Obito frowned.

Although he had already left Konoha, and with his actions in Uchiha, it was unlikely that he would return to Konoha, but he didn't believe in his heart that Konoha was such a village.

Konoha...

In his opinion, although there are problems, he has always advocated peace, but he is just on the wrong path.

Madara chuckled, "Of course not."

He looked straight ahead, as if looking into the distance.

"Many times, just because you advocate peace doesn't mean others will believe it. For example, back then, was the short-lived peace we had achieved due to spiritual influence?"

Madara sneered.

“That was a peace fought for!”

"But……"

Obito hesitated to speak.

Black Zetsu said: "I know what you want to say, but kid, the ninja world was in a balance before. Konoha was powerful but also afraid of other ninja villages, while other ninja villages restrained each other."

"now what?"

He gave gentle persuasion and guided Obito's thinking.

Obito understood what they were trying to say.

Since I got here...

In addition to practicing and improving his strength, he spends more time reading books and listening to Madara and Black Zetsu explain the world pattern and evolution of trends, and the way to peace.

Hearing this, he felt even more that peace was difficult.

After a moment of weakness, Obito suddenly thought of Kyohiko——

in his mind.

It seems that Jingyan's ideal is also peace in the ninja world.

He couldn't help but ask: "Then, Jing Yan..."

"His plan should be similar to that of Hashirama Senju and me back then, but it may go a step further. This is a plan I have envisioned."

Ban said slowly.

This sentence, he really did not deceive Obito.

"At first, I thought about unifying the ninja world, so that everyone would be in one country and one village, and there would be no pain from war..."

Obito listened with fascination.

Unify the ninja world!

There is no distinction between countries or ninja villages. We are all one family, so there will be no disputes!

Then, he realized that Madara didn't do that, and now his thoughts and attitude seemed to have changed.

"Why then?"

"Because, although Jingyan is smart, he only saw the first level. He only saw the short-lived peace after the unification of the ninja world, but did not see the desires and conflicts of mankind..."

Madara's tone was full of sighs.

From Madara's perspective, Kyohiko is an enemy who truly deserves his admiration. This admiration even surpasses the position of Hashirama Senju in his heart.

He has mastered such powerful strength at such a young age.

Teenagers can summarize history and think of a way out after their failure.

Even if it is relatively wrong...

In his opinion, this was not Jingyan's problem.

This is only because Jingyan does not have the Sharingan, does not know the contents of the stone tablet, and does not know the relationship between the Senju and Uchiha, so he is unable to master the power of the universe.

This is an obstacle to knowledge and perception, not a limitation of Jingyan’s own wisdom.

"From a human perspective, Jingyan's idea is already perfect."

Madara admired softly.

Black Zetsu was silent for a while.

In his opinion……

What Ban said is not quite right.

If the ninja world was unified as Kyouhiko envisioned, his plan would be difficult to complete and might take one or two hundred years or even longer.

Fortunately, there are idiots like Madara and Obito!

He thought to himself.

Madara and Obito naturally had no idea of ​​his inner thoughts. The two were discussing the pros and cons of the unification of the ninja world. After listening to them, Obito sighed with regret.

"Even someone as strong as Jing Yan has his own shortcomings in knowledge and ability, which limits his vision..."

"I need to practice and study even more!"

Obito thought to himself.

Madara leaned back with satisfaction and whispered, "At present, it seems that the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki has probably been captured by Konoha. I have a task for you."

"Should we capture the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Obito answered immediately.

Madara looked at him, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

Catch the Eight-Tail?
you?
It’s not that he looks down on Obito, but the current Obito really can’t be a match for Ryomine Kyohiko.

He moved back a little.

"Ryoumine Kyouhiko's goal should be to collect the tailed beasts and reunite most of them, using them as a threatening fighting force to force the other ninja villages to surrender."

"Such a concept can avoid casualties to the greatest extent possible."

"But, according to our plan, we also need the tailed beasts as support, so as to reach the state of sage and activate the infinite moon reading..."

"You two should go together and capture Nanabi and Ichibi."

Ban spoke neither fast nor slow.

Black Zetsu and Obito responded immediately.

"Yes!"

After they left, Madara sent out White Zetsu to go to the Snow Country to monitor Konoha's actions.

He needs to know—

Did Konoha capture Killer Bee?
……

In the Land of Snow, outside a bay port, a ship slowly approached.

When Xiao Jingjun saw the familiar snow and glaciers, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Go home!
The first half of this trip to Konoha was relatively safe, but the second half, as ninjas were hired, seemed more dangerous than the first half, as almost all passing ships would inquire about them.

Fortunately.

There was no fighting afterwards.

Even if it was Jingyan, he would rather live in peace without fighting.

"Hi, ninjas of Konoha, this is our snow country. Welcome to the snow country!"

"Thank you. I think my men can't wait."

Nara Shikaku looked back with a smile.

With the help of "Hatake Kakashi", Might Guy slowly walked off the boat in an almost half-dead state, his face full of pain.
