Thinking of this, Mei Terumi and Shikaku Nara exchanged glances, their expressions shifting, and a hint of gloom appeared in their eyes.
Choosing to enter at such a point is more likely because the other party has already obtained what they wanted.
However, after witnessing Uchiha Arakawa's strength, they wanted even more!
That's a brilliant move!
As for the thing that has already been acquired, it is clearly the Hyuga Byakugan transplanted into Ao's eye!
That's why these guys showed up so casually and blurted out things that had nothing to do with Kirigakure anymore.
Hearing those commanding words, Nara Shikaku felt terrible.
The distrust he had previously harbored towards Uchiha Ara, along with the disheartening questioning from his close friend, all surged into his mind at this moment, gradually causing his calm demeanor to become disheveled.
However, to be fair, the Hidden Cloud Village does indeed have the strength and resources to achieve this.
Being confined to a remote corner, they were not surrounded by powerful enemies, and their coastal location gave the entire Cloud Kingdom extremely rich port resources.
In addition, the local people have a martial spirit, and the daimyo and Raikage in high positions are not as incompetent as the neighboring Kirigakure, so their strength is inevitable!
In terms of high-end combat power and terrifying weapons, Kirigakure also possesses two tailed beasts, the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails!
In particular, the former's host was a perfect Jinchūriki, while the latter's appearances were too few to be definitively established.
However, in recent years, there has been less and less information about the Eight-Tails causing any disturbances. This deeply rooted ninja village may have already taken control of two perfect Jinchuriki!
Similarly, the Raikage A in front of us is not to be underestimated.
This guy may look physically strong, but he's all brawn and no brains.
But in this cruel world, all schemes are futile in the face of absolute power!
Previously, Yagura's invincible stance was the best proof of this.
If Ara hadn't used his Sharingan to control the Fourth Mizukage's weakness, and if this war hadn't been a conspiracy instigated by others, it would have been impossible to stop the conflict with that figure standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world!
Raikage A's temperament and personality are even more assertive than Yagura's.
It should be noted that the former Third Raikage once single-handedly halted the pursuit of tens of thousands of Iwagakure ninja.
This current Raikage is not only the other party's son, but also someone who once drove the head of the Hyuga clan to the brink of death.
It's simply impossible to make such a being bow down and retreat like a reflection in water.
Moreover, this time, Nara Shikaku was equally clear about one thing: he could no longer compromise or be weak, otherwise, the morale of the entire Konoha ninja would fall to the same level as Kirigakure!
At the edge of his field of vision, several Hyuga clansmen were all staring fiercely at the arrogant Raikage.
Compared to Kirigakure, which had successfully bypassed their clan's Byakugan, these Hyuga clan members hated Kumogakure even more.
After all, the former was, in the course of war, a member of the main family was killed, and the loss of the Byakugan was a problem that arose within their own ranks.
However, Yunyin used extremely despicable means to force their clan's predecessors to their deaths!
A senior member who split up the family!
Such hatred cannot be easily erased!
Nara Shikaku withdrew his gaze from his companions behind him, and before the boy who had stepped out of his own camp could say anything, he spoke first, questioning:
"What, has Lord Raikage also lost his Byakugan?"
His voice was low and contained a hint of anger, but he did not abandon his manners.
The best outcome would be to make the other party directly feel Konoha's attitude and back down.
If not, then the only way to break the deadlock right now is to join forces with Kirigakure!
The arrogance and haughtiness inherited from generations of Raikage are their weakness. After quietly seizing the Byakugan that the Hyuga clan had lost, and then using Ao to sow discord and cause a second bloodshed, they were still not satisfied and still entered the fray with impunity!
This arrogance is just too much!
This also provided an opportunity for Konoha and Kirigakure to form a united front.
"Eye roll?"
"Heh, the Nara clan need not concern themselves with that."
Ai didn't want to pay much attention to him, glancing at Nara Shikaku who had spoken before looking away.
Based on the information brought back by Xi and Darui's speculation, the Byakugan that was transplanted by Ao is very likely in the hands of Uchiha Ara.
Moreover, this little guy must possess a secret no less valuable than the eye roll.
The fact that the Fourth Hokage of Kirigakure, Yagura Karatachi, was able to compromise was truly beyond his imagination.
However, this is also the only way to better demonstrate the other party's value and further solidify one's own decision.
"You are Uchiha Ara?"
"As expected, you have the spirit of the Uchiha clan. Then come with us."
The Fourth Raikage glanced up and down at the blood-soaked boy, then repeated his earlier statement, completely ignoring the various gazes directed at him.
After all, there is no one here who can stop it or even make it take it seriously.
Even Yagura Karatachi, who is also a 'Kage', is no match for him!
Because he could see that this guy had lost the pride and fighting spirit that belonged to 'Shadow'.
As for the details, we can slowly search through Uchiha Ara's mind after we return.
"Lord Raikage is far too arrogant."
"Demanding ninjas from other forces without a reason—is this an attempt to break the rules among the Five Great Ninja Villages?"
Before Ara could utter a sound, Nara Shikaku immediately stepped forward.
At the same time, a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.
Having pointed out the crux of the problem and its commonalities, the 'Kage' from Kirigakure remained silent after that initial question, seemingly having no intention of getting involved.
It seems that the other side wants to see the clash between Kumogakure and Konoha, and at the same time use this opportunity to test the waters against Uchiha Ara!
Nara Shikaku instantly found the crux of the problem.
He may have found it, but he doesn't yet have the power to arbitrarily influence the decisions of a neighboring village's "shadow".
"Okay, then I'll tell you."
When questioned in this way, Ai frowned, but after being winked at by his subordinates, he took a step back.
It wouldn't be good if word got out that he was asking for ninjas from other villages without any reason.
Although Kumogakure is strong, it is not capable of directly confronting the other four major ninja villages.
“We suspect that Uchiha Ara is connected to the emerging Akatsuki organization, so we need to take him back for questioning.”
Is that enough?
The Fourth Raikage was filled with impatience.
This explanation was, of course, made on the spur of the moment. Otherwise, if all the information they had gathered were laid bare between Konoha and Kirigakure, it wouldn't have been so easy to take Uchiha Ara away.
"I wonder where Lord Raikage got this information from, that Ara has connections with the Akatsuki organization."
"Furthermore, even if it is indeed related, it should be Konoha that handles the trial..."
Nara Shikaku responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, and naturally he did not completely believe the Fourth Raikage's words.
Because this is a shadow with a serious 'criminal record'!
Even if what the other party said is true, it is none of Kumogakure's business to interfere with the people and affairs of Konoha.
However, before he could finish speaking, the Raikage, who had already shown his impatience, interrupted him.
"That's enough. I'm not here to negotiate with you. Besides, you're not qualified to talk to me."
Ray Shadow Ai's words were filled with contempt and impatience.
Dominance is its most distinctive characteristic.
Even though several of his subordinates beside him showed signs of embarrassment and tried to dissuade him, he still chose to ignore them.
Power is the strongest voice of this generation.
Nara Shikaku, who was being reprimanded, showed a hint of surprise on his face. He was well aware of the Raikage's strength, but he never expected that the other party would be so crude and barbaric.
But then again, what can one do in the face of such a domineering attitude?
The ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village were clearly prepared to remain neutral and observe from the sidelines.
He bit his lower lip tightly, and before he knew it, a thin layer of blood seeped out.
'Lord Hokage, when will you arrive?!'
Ignoring the hostility from Nara Shikaku and the Konoha ninjas, A continued:
“Uchiha Ara, I’m not as easy to talk to as the Mizukage of Kirigakure.”
"Now, I'm only giving you two choices: either come with me peacefully and willingly, or I'll take you away after I do something unfriendly."
He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was crystal clear.
"You only have one chance to answer!"
This was not a simple intimidation, but a real threat. Any sensory ninja present could clearly sense the energy fluctuations emanating from the Fourth Raikage's body!
"I have no connection with the Akatsuki organization."
"If we have to get involved, then it's only through blood feuds."
After leaving the camp, Huang finally spoke.
And his attitude was similar to when he answered the Fourth Mizukage, denying it neither humbly nor arrogantly.
But as the Raikage said, he wasn't like Yagura Karatachi, who was already in poor condition!
"Oh, I'm sorry, it seems you've chosen the second option."
"So........"
'Zila la'
A surge of lightning instantly enveloped A's body, and the terrifying aura it unleashed reached directly at the Fourth Mizukage, who had activated his Tailed Beast form!
"Belonging to Konoha, protect your comrades!"
