I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

These words also reminded Mabuyi, who was standing to the side. She opened the folder in her hand and quickly flipped through the pages of documents with her slender fingers.

"found it."

After unconsciously murmuring to herself, she quickly pulled out the page her fingers had been resting on and respectfully placed it on the Raikage's desk before continuing:

"The Hidden Mist Village truly began demanding Uchiha Ara from Konoha more than a year ago, after the major internal strife within the Uchiha clan."

"At that time, the Iwagakure side also demanded Uchiha Ara from the Konoha side, probably because the Iwagakure army stationed at the border of the Land of Fire was suspected to have been completely wiped out by the former."

Mabuyi calmly recounted the events leading up to this.

However, contrary to this calm, upon hearing this news, the attendees almost unanimously exclaimed in shock: "Total annihilation?"

Even the usually aloof and taciturn Samui and the lazy Darui showed slight changes in their expressions, looking at Mabui with suspicion.

It's important to know that the wording used by the other party is not "single," "small team," or "large team," but rather "legion"!

This means that there were at least more than 100 participants!

That's enough to wage a small-scale, local war!

But they were all wiped out by one person?

And just a year ago, how old was that little guy named Uchiha Ara?

Most importantly, how could they have no recollection of such shocking news?

"calm!"

Just as the atmosphere of astonishment spread throughout the office, Raikage A suddenly spoke, his powerful yet dignified voice easily dispelling the panic that had risen in everyone's hearts.

"This is just speculation, after all, there is no evidence to prove that the victory in that battle was created by Uchiha Ara alone."

There has been no official announcement from Iwagakure either.

Ai knew about this.

However, just like Onoki who suffered in silence, he did not actively spread the news.

Because it's just too absurd.

A ten-year-old boy sweeping away hundreds of Iwagakure ninjas—is this a fantasy story?

Moreover, spreading this news would not benefit Kumogakure at all; on the contrary, it would only provoke a certain restless 'little octopus' to go out and cause trouble.

But now, considering Kirigakure's attitude, the annihilation of the Iwagakure army is probably closely related to that kid.

Even so...

"Besides, is it really that difficult to wipe out an entire Iwagakure army?"

"What's so surprising about those hypocrites who only know how to fill the gaps in the war with the lives of low-ranking ninjas and ordinary clansmen, and call it the 'Will of Stone'?"

"Have you forgotten how the Third Hokage single-handedly fought against ten thousand men?!"

Ai's words and expression were filled with contempt and disdain for Iwagakure.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people present calmed down somewhat.

The style and combat strength of Iwagakure are indeed somewhat questionable. Simply setting up a few hidden traps along the border would be enough to wipe out most of those low-level army groups.

Such an outcome is indeed incomparable to the Third Hokage's ability to fight against thousands single-handedly.

"You go on."

After noticing that the attendees had calmed their agitation, Ai said.

At the same time, his gaze fell on the documents that Mabuyi had handed him.

What's truly troubling, no, what's a little frightening, is the existence of the previous period that's written on it.

"Yes."

"Lord Raikage."

After a concise and efficient response, Mabuyi continued:

"At that time, faced with demands from two equally powerful forces, and having lost a high-end fighting force like the Uchiha clan, Konoha absolutely could not easily avoid the issue of handing over Uchiha Ara."

"However, under the negotiation of the Third Hokage, the stubborn Onoki gave up his demands first! Then Kirigakure, which was left with no one to help, gradually let the matter drop."

Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment appeared on the faces of everyone present. It was simply unimaginable that the stubborn and arrogant Third Tsuchikage could give up his demands!

Especially considering that Iwagakure lost an entire legion!!

What exactly caused that stubborn Onoki to compromise?

"Back then, Konoha also sent a letter, warning us to pay attention to a new mercenary organization—Akatsuki!"

"The Uchiha clan traitor, Itachi Uchiha, was also bewitched by that organization and taken away."

"And Akatsuki's ultimate goal is suspected to be to revive the legendary ninja, Uchiha Madara!"

Even someone as composed as Mabui couldn't help but tremble slightly when this taboo name was mentioned.

"what?"

"Impossible! That existed in the previous era!!"

"........"

Immediately, the entire Raikage's office became restless and noisy.

If that being were to reappear, what kind of changes would it bring to the ninja world?

This time, Raikage A did not stop the crowd's astonishment, but slowly said:

"At first, I didn't believe it either, and just regarded such information as a trick that Konoha usually uses to divert attention."

"However, according to intelligence from the Anbu, an organization called Akatsuki has indeed been active in some small countries recently. The members that have been identified include not only Itachi, a former genius of the Uchiha clan and a Konoha rogue ninja, but also Deidara, Onoki's apprentice."

"Furthermore, the Akatsuki organization is most active in the Land of Water, one of the Five Great Nations."

"Considering all the information available now, and the fact that Kirigakure is so eager to have the current head of the Uchiha clan, it is possible that Akatsuki has reached some kind of agreement with that 'Kage' of Kirigakure."

Ai crossed his fingers and braced himself on the table, his usually stern face now showing a hint of gloom.

Although he appears rugged and savage, he possesses considerable intelligence and analytical skills; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to secure the position of Raikage in the talent-rich Hidden Cloud Village, nor would he have served as the commander-in-chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces during the Fourth Shinobi World War!

"But those were people from the previous era!"

"There's no way it could possibly reappear in the world, right?"

"Moreover, if he were to reappear, who in this world could suppress him?"

"Does this mean that the five great ninja villages will have to unite, and the five 'Kage' will have to work together to fight against that legendary being?"

"However, there are signs that Kirigakure is now collaborating with Akatsuki, so the Fourth Mizukage will definitely not agree to cooperate."

"Therefore, we need to face the legendary ninja, Madara Uchiha, the Land of Water, one of the Five Great Nations, and the Akatsuki organization, which is full of geniuses."

"Damn it, the odds of winning are a bit..."

Omoi, seated at the end of the table, nervously speculated and meticulously counted each detail.

And from initially muttering to himself, he gradually progressed to unconsciously expressing his opinions and views loudly.

"Enough! Shut up!!"

"Whether even 'Madara' can truly be resurrected is still unknown!!"

Ai is in a bad mood!

His gloomy face now showed even more prominent veins and a hint of impatience.

How could my own ninja village have such talkative and worrisome subordinates? They don't have a single trace of the sharp and ruthless demeanor of a Cloud Village ninja!

"So, even if that old guy from the previous era reappears, how much of his strength will he be able to retain?"

"Besides, the Allied Shinobi Forces?"

"Ah."

"Do we still need to involve outsiders?"

"Lord Raikage alone could easily beat that old guy to a pulp!"

Karui punched his always gloomy companion hard, his eyes full of indifference.

Indeed.

Those were figures from the previous era. Apart from the old geezer Onoki from Iwagakure, perhaps no one else has ever faced the peak and terror of Uchiha Madara!

However, the Fourth Raikage's expression froze upon hearing this.

If that being were truly resurrected, he probably wouldn't be confident he could defeat him single-handedly.

However, this is still not a settled matter.

“In any case, Kirigakure’s actions this time are really illogical. Hii and Darui, you two come with me to the battlefield.”

"If we can find an opportunity, Ao, who has transplanted the Hyuga Byakugan in Kirigakure, and Shikotsumyaku, who is rare to appear in the Kaguya clan, will also be our hunting targets this time!"

"Last time we were tricked by those old guys from Konoha. This time, we're going to get the Byakugan!"

The Fourth Raikage made his decision, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his face.

Although he didn't care about his reputation being ruined, he was very unhappy that he hadn't been able to gain any substantial benefits despite the damage to his reputation.

Moreover, the strategic significance of the Hyuga Byakugan is so great that no force would not covet it!

"Yes!"

"Lord Raikage."

Xi readily agreed.

On the contrary, Darui, who was in the same weight class as him, muttered under his breath, "What a nuisance."

"Ok?"

"What did you say?"

Ai was really about to lose his temper. What kind of lazy bunch were his subordinates? Couldn't he have brought in some warmongers like the Uchiha clan?

"Yes, I understand, Lord Raikage."

Upon provoking the boss's anger, Darui immediately sat up straight and answered seriously.
