Chapter 184 Cloud Village Trapped in a Sea of ​​Fire (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

“We’re finally setting off!”

Sitting atop the flying bird, Deidara was in an exceptionally good mood.

As he watched Konoha Village recede into the distance, he was overjoyed!

"This time, I will definitely blow the entire Hidden Cloud Village to the sky!"

"Tch, I get the feeling you're just playing around."

Kitagawa Gen stroked his chin, feeling that his guess was correct.

"Glory belongs to everyone, but I bear the responsibility alone. Hmm, are you Little General Di?"

"What do you mean?"

"Hmm, what would you do if there was a riot in your village?"

"How could that be? You're kidding! But if it really happens, I'll blow them all to smithereens!"

"."

Mei Terumi rolled her eyes upon hearing this, and Gen Kitagawa sighed as well.

He reached out and patted Deidara on the shoulder before speaking softly.

"Why bomb them into the sky? Why not just send your own troops with steel bars to chase after the rebels and beat them up?"

".ah?"

Deidara was somewhat confused, and Mei Terumi was even more troubled. This method didn't seem very reliable, did it?

"Alright, enough joking, let's talk about the follow-up issues."

Kitagawa Gen sat on the flying bird, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke.

"Kumikage is not small, and there are many interests involved. We need to have a good talk about how to distribute them."

"Um, can we decide that? Besides, we haven't decided yet."

Mei Terumi's expression was somewhat puzzled. They were already discussing victory before the fight even started?
"Hmm, I think we can talk about it."

Deidara hummed twice, then fell silent, because he didn't know how to explain these things.

Upon seeing this, Kitagawa Gen spoke up immediately.

"They have abundant mineral resources, and they have robbed countless ninja villages and clans of their secret techniques."

Besides, they also have substantial interests in the Land of Hot Water, and they possess two tailed beasts, so…

"The Tailed Beasts will definitely not agree; the Sand Village already knows that."

Although Mei Terumi felt it was too outrageous, she still followed Kitagawa Gen's line of thought and spoke up.

"Besides these things, they are also very strong in maritime trade, have many islands around them, and control a lot of fishing grounds."

“Then we can divide up their mineral resources and demand that they transfer their fishing grounds to you.”

Kitagawa Gen stroked his chin and spoke decisively.

"In addition, we need to make them hand over all their secret techniques and research materials, and we also need a large amount of war reparations!"

Furthermore, their mission quotas in the Land of Hot Water, the Land of the Moon, and the Land of Frost all belong to us.

"."

Mei Terumi gasped. She realized that Gen Kitagawa was truly ruthless. How was this any different from forcing the Cloud Village to its death?
Ninjas rely on mission quotas and the support of the daimyo.
"hiss!"

Suddenly, she sensed that Kitagawa Gen had ulterior motives!
"Um, should we limit the number of their ninjas?"

Just as Terumi was pondering, Deidara suddenly asked a question out of curiosity.

"I heard the old man say that although the Hidden Cloud Village fought three wars, they didn't have many fronts, so they didn't send out many ninjas."

Although the Third Raikage died there, it also made them withdraw from the battle with you, but in the end, they didn't actually fight us.

Kumogakure did suffer losses in the Third Shinobi World War, such as their Third Raikage.
But if we're talking about major losses, they probably suffered the least of all the villages.

They neither fought a deadly battle with Konoha nor engaged in excessive fighting with other villages.

Compared to places like Iwagakure and Sunagakure, they may seem to have lost face, but they still managed to retain a large number of combat ninjas.

This is also why they dared to go to Konoha back then, frame Konoha and Hyuga, and almost start a war!

"That's a good suggestion."

Kitagawa Gen touched his chin, seemingly very interested.

"Anyway, the mission quota has to be reduced. There's no point in them keeping so many ninjas. It's definitely time to limit the number of their ninjas."

"Yeah, yeah! Anyway, their missions are all ours now. Should we make them cede territory?"

Deidara also got excited, and his question made Kitagawa Gen tilt his head.

"This is something we can consider. Also, there are so many retired ninjas of theirs; it's troublesome if we don't deal with them. Should we send them to various places to do work?"

"That sounds pretty good, anyway. I've heard they're as strong as oxen. Why not just send them to the Land of Earth to mine?"

"Deidara, you're going too far! Do you want them to grow cotton again?"

"Oh? It's not impossible."

"As expected, you're an evil blond guy."

"Ugh?"

"."

Seeing the two of them talking more and more outrageous, Mei Terumi fell silent. They're already thinking about these things before they've even started fighting?

Unable to bear it any longer, she had no choice but to interrupt the two of them.

"Wait a minute, aren't you guys overthinking this? I think we should be more pragmatic and think about how to deal with this battle first."

"It seems so."

Although interrupted, Kitagawa Gen only paused for a moment before looking at Terumi Mei with a smile.

"But don't worry, whether we succeed or not, we must remain confident. After all, none of the three of us are simple, are we?"

"Forehead"

Mei Terumi paused for a moment, while Gen Kitagawa continued speaking.

"At worst, I can bring you all out safely, I promise."

Looking at Kitagawa Gen's smile and listening to his resolute tone, Terumi Mei felt herself calm down at that moment. Although she still felt that this operation was not very reliable, with Kitagawa Gen around, she felt at ease.

"Yeah, yeah, I promise I can blow them to the sky!"

Deidara nodded in agreement, which made Mei Terumi shake her head.

"Alright, let's take a look at your intelligence first, and then we can finalize the battle plan."

"Well, I think we can relax a little."

However, Kitagawa Gen's gaze was fixed ahead at that moment.

That place is the Land of Hot Springs!
"I've been to Yu-no-Kuni several times, but I've never been able to visit the hot springs there. Shall I give it a try this time?"

"Huh? You won't let me in, why?"

Deidara asked curiously, while Kitagawa Gen sighed.

"Minors are prohibited from entering, but since Kakashi-sensei and the Perverted Sage aren't around, we can use the Transformation Jutsu now!"

"Is that so? Hmm! Shall we go take a look?"

"Okay!"

"You two."

However, before they could finish speaking, Mei Terumi, blushing, grabbed their clothes.

"Stop it, you bastard!"

"How is the troop assembly progressing?"

"Preparations are already underway, Lord Tsuchishiro."

In the Land of Lightning, in the Hidden Cloud Village.

The high-ranking members of the Hidden Cloud Village were gathered in the Raikage Building for a meeting, their faces grim.

This situation is really too bad, even though they had expected that there would be big problems.

But the commotion was so huge that not only did the Raikage die, but the Sand Village also surrendered.

Even Kirigakure and Iwagakure have allied with Konoha, so naturally, they need to be dealt with next!
Fortunately, they all had extensive experience with 'what to do after the Raikage dies'.
Even when faced with major trouble, they can remain calm and deal with it.

"Now that the troops have assembled, let them begin their deployment. At the same time, we must closely monitor the movements of Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure."

As the top strategist of Kumogakure, Tsuchishiro was deeply trusted by the Third Raikage and even guided the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee in mastering the "Raging Bull Lightning Blade".

Now only he can persuade the enraged Killer Bee, and only he can take charge of the situation.

"Also, the Chunin Exams in Konoha should be starting soon, right?"

"Yes, my lord."

One of the ANBU spoke with his head bowed, which made Tsuchishiro sigh.

"We must be extra careful during this period. Who knows if they will suddenly launch a surprise attack on us?"

"Tsuchishiro, aren't you worrying too much?"

Just then, an elder from the Hidden Cloud Village asked with a frown.

"Moreover, what are our chances of winning this three-front war?"

"Odds of winning."

When Tsuchishiro heard this question, he frowned. He knew what asking this question at this moment meant.

He was reluctant to answer that question, and besides, it wasn't that he felt there was absolutely no chance!

"Victory depends on hard work and also on your opponent."

"Oh? What do you think?"

"Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure have always had many conflicts. They have fought each other in the three wars. This alliance is just for their own benefit."

"You want to sow discord? But our relationship with Iwagakure and Kirigakure doesn't seem to be very good either."

“If the distribution of benefits is uneven, their alliance will inevitably collapse, and before that happens, we must be tough enough.”

Tsuchishiro's voice was exceptionally firm, and he clenched his fist slightly as he looked at everyone present.

"Only if we are tough enough and they can't break through our defenses, will we have a chance. We can deceive, we can make promises, we can give up some of our benefits, or even the secret techniques we have obtained."

"As long as they cannot unite, as long as they are blinded by self-interest, we will definitely be able to hold on and get through this calamity smoothly!"

"so."

At this point, Toshiro slammed his fist on the table and asked loudly.

"Everyone, the Cloud Village is counting on you all now!"

Tsuchishiro's words were full of passion, which made everyone present feel excited.

Even the elderly elders, who were on their deathbeds, had to admit that Tsuchishiro's words made a lot of sense.

What good is an alliance? It's nothing more than a product of self-interest.

If they handle it properly, they will surely be able to sow discord among them!
They simply don't believe that these people, once they've become disloyal and alienated, can still continue practicing.
"A single village cannot breach the Cloud Village."

After all, times have changed. There are no people like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha in this era!

boom--

boom--

boom--

However, at that moment, a series of violent roars suddenly rang out, and raging flames spread wildly. The violent shockwave even shattered the glass of the Raikage Building!
"what happened?"

"what happened?"

"The people from Konoha have attacked?!"

The violent impact jarred everyone's eardrums, and Toshiro rushed to the window immediately.

Looking at the village engulfed in flames, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

And at that moment he also noticed a white bird circling leisurely in the sky!
And a figure also quickly descended towards them.

"It seems this is the place."
