I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

"Now, the village's elite undercover agents responsible for in-depth interrogation have gone to the place of detention, and perhaps they can get some other answers through hypnosis."

"However, if someone is indeed manipulating our ninjas to commit such a heinous act, then they must have the ability to prevent our interrogators from finding out about it."

"For example, the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan;"

"For example, the Blood Dragon Eye that appeared in the Thunderbolt Party of the Land of Waves!"

"That was once a special bloodline limit belonging exclusively to our Blood Pond Clan of the Land of Lightning, but according to historical records, that clan should have been completely buried in Hell Valley of the Land of Hot Water."

"If there are indeed survivors from that race, then it is quite easy to understand why they would harbor such strong hostility towards the Land of Thunder."

"Moreover, there is no one else who can truly save that clan from the events of the past but the Uchiha clan."

"Because the powerful figures who initially convicted the Blood Pool Clan hired them to suppress all of them, who also possessed powerful eye techniques."

Through these two common points, Mabuyi methodically and steadily continued to dig deeper, his calm tone devoid of any personal emotion, and everything he said was based on objective facts.

"Similarly, this also coincides with the information that Konoha had previously provided to us: the mastermind behind the Land of Hot Springs is Ara of the Uchiha clan."

When she mentioned this, her voice noticeably slowed down and softened.

After all, both the Fourth Raikage, A, and Hii had bad memories of being with that Uchiha boy named Ara.

Especially the latter,

That year of imprisonment, that past where his memories were stolen by ninjas from another village—although none of his comrades, including the Raikage, mentioned or blamed him after his return, it must have left an indelible shadow in the heart of this comrade with a strong sense of self-respect.

Sure enough, the atmosphere in the Raikage's office changed after hearing that guy's name.

The document in the Fourth Hokage's hand showed obvious wrinkles, a sign of excessive force; Nozomi's face suddenly darkened, and the usually confident person now seemed somewhat withdrawn.

"go on."

After a long while, Raikage Ai finally spoke, breaking the deadlock.

"Yes."

"A joint arrest warrant was issued by Konoha early this morning for Shimura Danzo, who was arrested for interfering in the Land of Iron's foreign policy, resulting in..."

Mabui continued speaking, still without directly mentioning the Land of Hot Springs, but instead starting with some other related events.

"Therefore, we can completely understand this as a self-inflicted injury plot by Konoha."

"By sacrificing such an important figure as Danzo Shimura, we can completely extricate ourselves from the Yu-no-Kuni Incident."

"Therefore, our countermeasures against Konoha are completely meaningless, whether it is the other side's initiative to invite us to cooperate or the defection of Konoha's elder, Danzo Shimura."

"It's all so that when faced with a difficult situation again, we can still extricate ourselves and withdraw."

It directly points out the key issues.

This incident is far more complex than a simple feud between them and the Land of Hot Springs.

Rather, it is an entanglement involving the forces of the three kingdoms of Lei, Tang, and Huo!

However, it seems that the only opponent now is the common enemy, the Thunder Light Group.

"At the same time, such a response could also bring us down."

"And in fact, we're already halfway into this conflict."

She began to gradually steer the narrative back to the main characters of the incident. This step-by-step approach allowed the listener to better understand just how deep the tangled mess was!

"As for entering Amegakure in the Land of Hot Water, we currently have two pieces of information:"

"First, the number of people who entered the Land of Hot Water exceeded a thousand, and it is unknown whether Hanzo of the Salamander was among them."

"Secondly, their rendezvous with the Lightning Gang must have been premeditated. On the night they entered, something major seemed to have happened inside the Land of Iron, which is why they were hesitant to act rashly against the passing Amegakure ninja."

"That is why Mifune, as the supreme commander of that country, urgently contacted the Daimyo's office in the Land of Fire."

Mabuyi's thinking was incredibly clear; he gradually dispelled all the fog surrounding phenomena, and then truly peered into every detail of time.

This narrative also made the entire Raikage's office inexplicably tense.

After all, they were in a state of anger earlier, and with the Fourth Raikage present, they naturally felt fearless. But when it came to actually counting their opponents, Hanzo the Salamander alone was enough to make them pay a heavy price!

Although they never directly confronted that legendary being, the fact that they, as a small country, were able to withstand several major powers around them and were even hailed as demigods in the ninja world is enough to speak for itself.

"You mean you want me to... to make the Hidden Cloud Village put aside this hatred?"

"Let those hundreds of comrades perish in a foreign land?"

The Fourth Raikage's voice suddenly rose in pitch, but this question already clearly indicated one fact:

They are reflecting, considering, compromising, and even backing down!

However, the anger in his heart prevented him from making a final decision.

"No, hatred cannot be easily erased."

"However, to repel external threats, we must first secure internal stability."

"The sudden attack by those powerful businessmen, and the truth behind the two attacks, are all things that should be resolved now."

Mabuyi spoke methodically.

If, after all our forces have been mobilized, a fire suddenly breaks out in our own backyard, then we'll be in a difficult situation, unable to manage both ends.

"Moreover, the matter of Uchiha Ara should be the first thing that gives Konoha a headache!"

"More importantly, the situation in the Land of Lightning is still under control, but if something happens..."

However, just as he was about to voice his concerns, a Cloud Village ninja rushed in, looking flustered, and shouted, "Reporting to Lord Raikage, something has happened in the capital of the Land of Lightning!!"

Chapter 414 The Land of Thunder in Utter Turmoil, Revenge from the Blood Pool Clan.

This interruption immediately made Mabuyi's expression tense.

Their gazes, along with those of the Cloud Hidden's senior management, turned toward the office door.

The newcomer looked flustered, his chest heaving, clearly having encountered something troublesome or even terrifying.

"What's wrong? What's the rush?"

The Cloud Village Jonin who had previously acted so aggressively now showed displeasure on his face.

The Fourth Hokage is still here, the Cloud Village army is still here, what is there to cause us to panic?

It's important to understand that this time there's no unpredictable factor like Bi being controlled or foolishly breaking his own barrier. Even if they go to war with the Land of Hot Springs, they have nothing to fear!

not to mention,

"Something's happened in the Land of Lightning?"

"Hmph, fine, let those nobles and politicians who have taken some kind of medicine have a good taste of what they can do without our Hidden Cloud Village!"

"No matter what happens, do not send any ninjas to assist us for now!"

However, such remarks did not seem to reassure the Cloud Village ninja who came to report. On the contrary, the fear on his face became more pronounced, and his thick lips trembled.

Such behavior made several conservative Cloud Village Upper Ninjas, such as Mabui and Nozomi, feel uneasy.

After all, the reason they weren't too alarmed or concerned about the chaos within the Land of Lightning was because the overall situation wasn't considered serious.

It's not impossible for conflicts to occur between ninjas and those with power and influence; it's perfectly normal for such conflicts to happen occasionally.

As long as no bloodshed occurs, punishing the ninjas involved and making some compensation and apology from the village can minimize or resolve such incidents.

Furthermore, two commonalities can be summarized from the two incidents that were provoked: the companions who carried out the mission were relatively weak, and the place where such a heinous incident occurred was a remote and sparsely populated path.

All of this led them to the conclusion that if there were indeed outsiders involved, then the rat that sneaked in during the chaos must have been of average strength and cowardly, and would not have done anything that would shock the world.

but,

The current situation, however, caused a jolt to the hearts of several strategists, including Mabuyi and Xi.

If everything before was just a smokescreen, a mere trick to confuse the situation, then...

"Say!"

"No problem."

At the crucial moment, the Fourth Raikage, seated behind the crooked table, spoke with a resounding voice.

He could clearly sense the visitor's hesitation and unease.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the Cloud Village ninja who came to report suddenly straightened his back slightly, and the panic on his face was somewhat suppressed, but the tremor in his voice was still there.

"Just now, my comrades who were on a mission in the capital of the Land of Lightning sent back a message saying..."

The man's pupils gradually dilated, and his gaping mouth remained fixed on the word "speak," as if he felt immense fear of what would follow.

I don't know how much time passed, it seemed like a blink of an eye, or like incense burning out, and the rest of the sequence finally came out amidst the gradually spreading bloodshot eyes and the increasingly stringy saliva:

"Tell me, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning was assassinated while receiving dignitaries and died on the spot!"

"The perpetrator... it was Lord Orui!"

"He also publicly declared that this country does not need any so-called daimyo, it only needs to follow the will of the Raikage."

"After committing the crime, he immediately fled Daming Prefecture."

"Now, soldiers throughout the entire kingdom are searching for Lord Orui."

In an instant, the air in the Raikage's office seemed to freeze, the entire space appearing to stand still!

Everyone, including the exceptionally radical Cloud Village Jonin, stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

What's going on?

What the hell?!

What on earth is that Orui doing?!

Even if you have such thoughts, you can't just actually do it!!

The timing and environment are simply not right!
