【Why,】
Why does he seem even stronger than their Lord Hanzo?!
When this thought arose in the hearts of these Rain Village ninjas, many of them shook their faces fiercely, trying desperately to shake it off and discard it.
Because this represents the collapse of faith.
This signifies a wavering of their belief in Hanzo's invincibility!
just,
When I recalled the word 'protection' mentioned by the boy in my field of vision, everything seemed to make sense.
“Sa, look me in the eye. I won’t force you to make a decision.”
"However, I want you to know that those who submit will remain and be protected; those who are unwilling, then go back the way you came!"
Ara did not give these Rain Village ninjas a third option, nor did he allow any rebuttal or questions; he only gave them the simplest choice.
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the city behind him without looking back, leaving behind a group of bewildered Rain Village ninjas.
After all,
In the vast Amegakure, the only person who truly deserves the respect of Hanzo the Salamander!
Yes, thanks to the rainy climate of the Land of Rain, ninjas from this country are also very skilled in assassination techniques and often receive assassination missions.
However, how can such assassination techniques compare to those of the Hidden Mist Ninja Swordsmen, who have reached the pinnacle of this art?
Therefore,
Aside from the negligible number of ninjas, Amegakure really had nothing that would interest Ara.
This indifferent attitude caused thousands of Rain Ninja to fall silent and begin to reflect on their actions.
Are they really just a burden to Lord Hanzo?
The feeling of resentment infected and spread throughout the Rain Village camp, eventually culminating in a heartfelt question:
"Lord Shinta, are we really just a burden to Lord Hanzo?"
"What exactly was the true order given by Lord Hanzo? What is He facing?"
Looking at his companions, who were filled with resentment,
Knowing he could no longer hide, Tatsuya the Salamander, after a brief moment of preparation, began to slowly recount everything, including Lord Hanzo's will, the strength of the Akatsuki organization, and the young man who stood behind this city.
at the same time,
In the Land of Lightning, a country known for its martial spirit, the enraged Fourth Raikage had wrecked his office.
One hundred and sixty-seven disciples of the Hidden Cloud Village who were stationed on the border of the Frost Kingdom were wiped out overnight, leaving no trace of their bodies!
How could he accept such news, how could he let it go?
It is unusually protective of its offspring.
They completely disregarded who launched the attack first and who provoked the other party first.
[Immediately annihilate the Land of Hot Water and destroy that so-called Lightning Group!]
Blood debts must be repaid with blood!
That was his first thought after hearing the message, and also his only thought!
After all, the Land of Hot Water is different from the Land of Rain. Unlike the latter, which is so far away and beyond our reach, the two countries are only separated by the Land of Frost, which is almost a vassal of the Land of Lightning.
Whether it's sending troops to borrow passage or directly using the Frost Kingdom as the front line of the conflict, there shouldn't be any major problems.
In fact, A, the Fourth Raikage, wanted to rush to the Land of Hot Springs alone as soon as possible, to let this ignorant new force truly feel the wrath of the [Kage]!
However, such behavior was suppressed by Xi, Darui, and other high-ranking members of the Cloud Village.
The reason was that, based on the information sent by Konoha, they had already concluded that the Uchiha clan was behind the Land of Hot Springs, specifically Uchiha Ara, who had inflicted unspeakable humiliation on Kumogakure at the border of the Land of Fire.
Faced with such a strange boy,
The Cloud Village leadership had absolutely no reason to send their own [Shadow] alone to seek revenge.
However, they also had no reason to stop their "Shadow" from mobilizing the entire village's resources to avenge their comrades.
The vast Hidden Cloud Village began operating in an instant, with orders and letters being sent to Hidden Cloud ninjas, daimyo of the Land of Lightning, and nobles stationed elsewhere.
A powerful force ranking among the top of the five great ninja villages, if it truly decides to take action, the resulting impact and consequences will inevitably be terrifying!
Simultaneously,
During this period, another issue was also raised, and although such voices seemed somewhat weak in the overall atmosphere of anger, they could not be ignored:
So, was the perpetrator of this silent tragedy really just a newly emerging force like the Land of Hot Water - Lightning Group?
It should be noted that the ninjas dispatched by our side this time are not inexperienced recruits; the number deployed is sufficient to wage a small-scale local war.
How could they all be wiped out overnight?
Moreover, during this period, not a single message was sent out, and not a single sound was heard!
This situation is really too bizarre.
It's not that no power is capable of doing this, but judging from the strength currently displayed by the Land of Hot Springs, it is indeed insufficient.
After all, the ninjas of Kumogakure are not like the corrupt samurai of the Land of Iron, who have no mobility, reconnaissance, or ambush capabilities.
The most likely explanation for this incident is that some other force, on par with the Hidden Cloud Village, has also gotten involved!
Furthermore, considering the entire course of this incident, its geographical location, and the state of the entire power structure, Konoha is undoubtedly the most suspicious party.
Moreover, within that faction, there was a treacherous troublemaker as sinister as a viper, Shimura Danzo.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; this is most likely the other party's plan.
However, in his extreme anger, the volatile Fourth Raikage refused to listen to advice. Furthermore, the information that Salui, as the vanguard leader, had sent back information that there were barrier masters in the Land of Hot Springs only strengthened his conviction.
The answer lies within the Land of Hot Springs.
If it is proven that Konoha was the ultimate perpetrator of the bloodshed in Kumogakure, then Konoha will be wiped out!
This was his final declaration.
No one could persuade them.
but,
There is still one constraint: the attitude of powerful figures and nobles towards this operation.
Ultimately, although Kumogakure is powerful and its Raikage has been exceptionally strong throughout history, it still cannot compare to Onoki of Iwagakure's absolute position in the Land of Earth.
This can be seen from the fate of the Blood Pool Clan.
You should know that they were a powerful clan with the special limit, the Blood Dragon Eye, yet they were still exiled and nearly wiped out because they offended the powerful figures of the Land of Lightning.
Of course, this is also a common constraint faced by the other major powers.
In particular, Sunagakure Village is subject to even greater restrictions from the Daimyo Prefecture due to its geographical environment.
Even Konoha, the leading village among the five great ninja villages, is no exception.
When faced with major battles or important matters, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, would personally travel to the Daimyo's residence to seek instructions from the reigning Daimyo.
Because the ninja village's financial resources alone are absolutely insufficient to support a large-scale battle.
Even if they manage to hold on and even win, it will be difficult to recover quickly without the support and financial resources of the entire nation.
This is the fundamental reason why the ninja villages, despite possessing power clearly surpassing that of the daimyo's, still have to obey and protect the daimyo.
However, the massive and undisguised operation by the Hidden Cloud Village could not be hidden from anyone.
Even without Granny Cat and Cat Demon's spies, the news would inevitably reach the Land of Hot Springs in a very short time, carried by various rumors.
"Yeah."
"The mobilization for a full-scale war."
Night fell over the Land of Hot Springs. With his left hand gently stroking the greedy orange cat, Ara used his right hand to ignite a ball of crimson flame, burning the note in his hand to ashes.
He was well aware that his forceful actions would inevitably provoke a strong retaliation from the other side.
but,
This revenge is imperative; otherwise, he cannot swallow this humiliation, nor can he give an answer to the group of subordinates who swore to follow him.
Moreover, he had made plans for the future when he took such action.
Taking the pen and paper that Chino had placed aside, Ara immediately began writing on the blank note.
That hidden line hasn't been used for a long time.
No, or perhaps it's more accurate to say it's never actually been used before, and this time it just happened to be activated.
Moreover, a promise written on a note is something those who cling to life simply cannot refuse.
After curling up the note and placing it on the bell around the little orange cat's neck, the boy took out a small dried fish as a reward.
"Go."
"Go and deliver this message to that person."
"Grandma Cat will tell you where he is."
Huang gently rubbed Xiao Ju's head and said softly.
"Meow."
The cat with the dried fish in its mouth let out a muffled murmur, then jumped off the boy's lap and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Not long after this small transaction was completed, Chino led a middle-aged man up to the city wall.
Without a doubt, the newcomer was none other than the salamander god, Tadashi, who had a hideous birthmark on his right cheek.
"Master Huang,"
"We beg you to grant us your protection."
This time, he arrived without any hesitation, immediately kneeling on the ground and pressing his clenched right fist firmly against the earth.
During that short but significant period of time, he and his companions really thought a lot.
First of all, the Land of Rain can never be returned to.
