"Is the intelligence source reliable?"

"reliable……"

Standing next to Onoki, Akatsuchi said in a low voice, "This is intelligence we intercepted from Shimura Danzo's unit, and it is highly credible."

"Ah."

Onoki gave a simple reply, then turned and placed the intelligence in his hand on his desk.

Onoki's temper was definitely not good; in fact, it could be described as very bad and irritable.

But now he was very calm, so calm that it sent shivers down your spine.

But this calm is also another manifestation of the endless anger that is about to erupt!

"Have the Eastern Dead made a move?"

"They should have reached their designated position and will soon launch an attack on Shimura Danzo's forces."

"How many days has it been?" Onoki glanced at Akatsuchi.

tick...

With just one glance, beads of sweat appeared on Chitu's forehead, and he couldn't help but swallow hard as his mouth became dry.

Gudong.

The sound of swallowing was very soft, but it still reached Onoki's ears.

"Hurry up! Since Huangtu is gone, Konoha must pay the price!"

boom!

The desk suddenly shattered. "Hurry up and get there!!!"

"Yes, Third Tsuchikage!" Akatsuchi nodded hurriedly, then smoke rose from his feet and he vanished from the Tsuchikage's office in an instant.

"24 Jonin, including one elite Jonin whose strength was close to Kage level, all fell to Akira Hatake..."

The Tsuchikage, Onoki, revealed a deep killing intent. "He's only nine years old... Konoha is truly a land of outstanding people!"

"But so what?"

"The Land of Fire has long been a thorn in the side of the four great powers!"

"I don't believe it anymore!"

"By gathering the full strength of the four great nations, even if Konoha of the Land of Fire has many geniuses, if they die in this war, then it means there are no geniuses left!"

"Even if we are ultimately defeated, we cannot leave behind the geniuses that Konoha has produced in this war!"

Onoki had an idea.

"It seems it's time to prepare the hunting plan..."

"If Konoha's genius ninjas don't die, we'll never have a chance to rise to the top!"

"I have to go to the front lines myself."

Onoki stood up and used Earth Release: Light-Heavy Rock Technique to make his body fly up, then slowly floated away from the office.

Chapter 171: The Butcher of Namikaze Minato. (Seeking monthly votes!)

The heartland of the land of hot springs.

The Cloud Village ninja forces' defensive line retreated again and again.

At this point, they had lost the high spirits they had when they first arrived; all that remained was silence and disheartened despair.

People who know each other well sit silently together, their eyes vacant and showing no desire to communicate.

Like a group of frustrated beasts, they quietly lick their wounds in a corner.

They either explode from repression or die from it.

This sentence describes the current ninja force of Kumogakure.

However, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the outcome for the Cloud Village forces will likely be the latter.

Because the Third Raikage died...

"Killer Bee! Where have you been! Where have you been?!"

When Killer Bee, weary from his journey, returned to the Cloud Village ninja camp, the young Darui roared, tears streaming down his face.

At this time, Darui had become the disciple of the Third Raikage and had inherited the Third Raikage's Black Lightning Release.

In terms of age, he is about the same age as the Hatake brothers.

Aside from being similar in age, Darui is far inferior to the Hatake brothers in both reputation and strength.

"I……"

Kirabi's lips moved slightly, but he suddenly became speechless.

Moreover, because of Darui's shout, the silent ninjas of Kumogakure all looked up and stared at Killer Bee.

It remained deathly silent, yet the still air carried a different kind of atmosphere.

Would things have been better if Killer Bee had been there?

Could the Third Raikage have survived by covering their retreat?

"Killer Bee! Say something! Say something!"

Bichola stepped forward, much shorter than Darui, but with a loud roar.

"I...I'm sorry!"

boom!

No sooner had Killer Bee finished speaking than Darui's fist met him.

Very fast and very heavy.

Chirabi quickly developed a bruise on his face, and one of his back molars also became loose.

boom!

Darui punched Kirabi again.

Killer Bee spat out a huge lump on his cheek, and his loose molar finally fell out, along with some bloody foam.

"Darui, that's enough!"

Just as Darui was about to make a move, Tsuchishiro stepped forward.

Tsuchishiro was a ninja from the same era as the Third Raikage. Although he was not well-known, his strength should not be underestimated as the chief examiner for the "Bi" test in Kumogakure.

As is well known, there are two titles or names that carry great weight in Kumogakure: "Ai" and "Bi".

Every Raikage of Kumogakure abandons his original name after taking office and is respectfully called "A" by the ninjas of Kumogakure.

"Bi" is the bodyguard and right-hand man of "Ai". Although his status is slightly lower, he must have enough talent and strength to inherit the name.

Clearly, the deceased A was the one destined to inherit the name "A," while Killer Bee, being A's partner, naturally inherited the name "Beetle."

The fact that such an important title could be given to someone who could be the chief examiner for the selection test shows that Tsuchishiro is the most suitable person to stand up and stop Darui at this time.

"But...but because of Killer Bee, the Third Raikage...the Third Raikage, he..."

"I know, we all know!"

Tsuchishiro patted Darui on the shoulder heavily. "But this isn't Killer Bee's fault."

He doesn't deserve to be called "Bi"!

Darui exploded, black lightning emanating from his body. "A, who inherited the title of Future Raikage, is dead! Where was this guy before he died?!"

"The Third Raikage is dead. Before the Third Raikage died, this guy disappeared again. Where was he? Where was he?!"

Having suddenly broken free from Tudai's obstruction, Darui appeared even more ferocious than before, his roars carrying far and wide.

Seeing that Darui was about to use Black Lightning Release ninjutsu on Killer Bee, Tsuchishiro had no choice but to subdue him again, and then knocked him unconscious with a chop to the neck.

"Lord Tsuchishiro...you shouldn't stop him..."

Killer Bee was now utterly ashamed. He took all the blame upon himself, saying, "I should not have inherited the title of 'Bei,' and I am a sinner of Kumogakure and the Land of Lightning!"

"Just kill me……"

"Yes!" some of the Cloud Village ninjas chimed in, "Kill him!"

"kill him!"

"He doesn't deserve to continue wearing the title 'Better'!"

"kill him!"

"He is largely to blame for the deaths of the Third Raikage and A!"

Once a mouth is opened, things often develop to this point.

The ninjas in each village had a very low opinion of Jinchuriki, because every Jinchuriki had experienced the Tailed Beast going berserk to some extent under its influence.

In order to suppress the rampaging tailed beasts, the ninjas who went to stop them would inevitably suffer casualties.

Among the dead and wounded ninjas, there were bound to be relatives and friends, and naturally, the hatred for the tailed beasts would be transferred to the Jinchuriki.

Because Killer Bee's previous performance was evident to all, and the Eight-Tails Gyūki did not go berserk, the ninjas and villagers of Kumogakure had a fairly good impression of Killer Bee.

But people change, and they change very quickly, faster than you can imagine.

After a series of blows, the people in Kumogakure were restless and desperately needed an outlet for their frustrations. Killer Bee naturally became the best candidate to vent his anger.

Perhaps Darui is still young and doesn't consider things comprehensively.

But whether intentional or not, once he, as a disciple of the Third Raikage, started this, the situation spiraled out of control.

"Enough! You bunch of cowards!"

Tsuchishiro's face was grim. Now, the only top-tier ninja in Kumogakure who could stand alone and lead an army was Killer Bee.

If Killer Bee is forced to his death again, the future of Kumogakure will become uncertain.

Although the situation is just as bad now, it's better to have Killer Bee holding things together than to have no one at all!
