I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Huang Tu sighed and said, "The next generation of Raikage is really strong. His speed is so fast that our people can't react at all, and even I find it difficult to keep up."

"!"

Onoki was shocked. He knew that his son was also at the level of an elite Jonin. Even he said he couldn't react in time. So the speed of the next Raikage had already reached the level of Kage.

"What about the Jinchūriki?"

Onoki quickly asked, "What's the situation with the Jinchuriki?"

"According to feedback from our scouts in the Land of Lightning, this Jinchūriki seems to be a perfect Jinchūriki, with a significant increase in strength, enough to rival the next Raikage!"

Huang Tu said sincerely, "Compared to our Jinchūriki, the Jinchūriki of the Land of Lightning seem to be stronger."

"Shut up, you're just boosting others' morale while crushing your own."

Onoki rolled his eyes, feeling helpless about his son's honest and kind nature.

This kid didn't inherit any of my good qualities, such as being cautious, steady, or shrewd.

The Land of Earth is already somewhat lacking in development. If the next Tsuchikage is another introverted person who only knows how to defend, then the Land of Earth's development will hit a bottleneck.

Onoki sighed deeply, not having high hopes for his own child.

Aside from Huang Tu, Onoki dared not use the other ninjas from the Land of Earth. Although there were many talented people, none of them were from his lineage, so he was ultimately uneasy about them.

So, it seems I'll have to rely on my granddaughter next?

This little genius is quite likable.

Thinking of Kurotsuchi, a smile appeared on Onoki's face.

"Oh, right."

Huang Tu suddenly clapped his hands as if he had just thought of something. "Father, the next Raikage seems to have the ability to scheme. He attacked when our defenses were weak."

"What!?"

Onoki suddenly fell off his chair, flying directly in front of Huang Tu, and, with his head on top of Huang Tu, shouted, "Are you telling the truth?!"

He was even more shocked to hear this news than when he had just heard that the next Raikage and Jinchūriki were both very strong.

"Yes... Before leaving, he even used a tactic with that Jinchuriki to deceive our defensive ninjas, which was quite impressive."

Huang Tu scratched his head, looking as if he had been tricked.

Comparing his own potential next Tsuchikage with the next Raikage of the neighboring Land of Lightning, Onoki felt like he was about to faint.

He should just die on the spot.

No matter how you look at it, the next Raikage next door is someone else's kid.

What's most infuriating is that everyone agreed there were no strategists involved, and they were fighting each other based on sheer strength.

The Land of Earth will defend, and the Land of Lightning will attack; we had a good agreement.

Why is it that our own country didn't produce any tactical talents, while the Land of Lightning, with its bunch of muscle-bound warriors, produced someone who can fight with his brain?

"Hey...you...you..."

Onoki pointed a trembling finger at the yellow earth, saying with exasperation, "Go and contact the Land of Wind and tell them to find a way to solve the food problem. Go now!"

"Oh……"

Huang Tu didn't understand why Onoki had such a hateful expression, but being the kind and honest man he always was, he didn't say anything and obediently ran out after listening to his father.

Onoki sat down heavily, sighed deeply, and began to have a headache.

What should we do next?

The Land of Earth lacks a leader capable of managing the situation, while the Land of Lightning has already produced a genius like the next Raikage.

The situation in Konoha is also quite dramatic. The three legendary Sannin are in their prime, and they can hold out for at least another ten or twenty years. The same goes for Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is much younger than me.

Ten years later, he will be old and frail, Konoha will still be on the rise, and the new Raikage of the Land of Lightning will take office. Will the Land of Earth be able to hold on?

Will it become one of the weak nations, like the Land of Wind is now?

However, before Onoki could even begin to worry about the future of the Land of Earth, the war before him began to give him even more headaches.

"Father! Father!"

Huang Tu had only been gone a short while when he hurriedly ran back.

"what happened again?"

Onoki felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of Huang Tu. Huang Tu quickly grabbed a scroll and said anxiously, "The Land of Wind has sent intelligence that the battle situation has suddenly changed. They've been attacked by the Land of Fire, and they can't get their supplies out!"

"What!?"

Onoki was startled. "What do they mean? What do they mean by not being able to allocate supplies?"

"Is it okay if we withdraw our troops?"

In the initial agreement, the Land of Wind would provide all the food supplies, while the Land of Earth would provide the troops to block the Land of Lightning.

Now the Land of Earth is stuck here, facing off against the Land of Lightning. Now that the Land of Wind has suddenly stopped providing supplies under the pretext of being attacked, things are going to be tough for the Land of Earth.

"Father, we may not be able to withdraw the troops..."

Huang Tu smiled wryly and took out another scroll. "The Hidden Cloud Village has launched a full-scale attack on us. It seems they can't hold back any longer."

"...Are they idiots?! Launching a full-scale attack at this time!?"

Onoki started cursing, but he quickly realized what he was doing, "Wait..."

"First, cut off their food supply; second, launch a general offensive... Who is directing the actions of the Hidden Cloud Village?!"

Chapter 280 Konoha Stirring Up Trouble

"...I've heard that Konoha is eyeing this area with hostility..."

Faced with Onoki's question, Huang Tu swallowed hard. "Father, do you think Konoha is helping them devise a plan...?"

"will not."

Onoki shook his head and sneered, "If Konoha were to help them devise a plan, their attack wouldn't be this level."

"However, it is possible that Konoha is taking advantage of the situation and stirring up trouble."

Who is the general at the front lines of Kumogakure?

Onoki narrowed his eyes, and Kyoto quickly glanced at the scroll, then handed it over in shock, replying, "...It's...the Third Raikage!"

"???"

Ōno Kito was dumbfounded.

What the hell?

The Third Raikage goes to the front lines?

no……

What the hell are you doing?

Which movie star goes directly to the front lines during battle?

Are you out of your mind?

"report!"

Just then, an intelligence ninja suddenly appeared in front of Onoki and Yotsuchi, eagerly handing them a scroll.

"Lord Tsuchikage! A challenge has arrived from Konoha!"

"War letter?"

Onoki grabbed the scroll and unfolded it to read it.

After reading it, he felt a wave of dizziness.

"Greetings, Third Tsuchikage, Lord Onoki of the Two Scales!"

"Starting today, we will join forces with Kumogakure to launch a full-scale attack on your side. I presume you have already received the gift we have provided."

"In the upcoming war, please do not hold back, lest the Hidden Cloud Village and our side misjudge your strength."

"Tsunade Senju, the commander-in-chief of the Konoha army."

Fuck your gift!

To hell with this challenge!

Onoki slammed the scroll to the ground, furious, and stomped on it.

This damned challenge was definitely written by that damned strategist of Konoha. With Tsunade's temper, how could she write something so sarcastic and bizarre?

No wonder the Land of Lightning suddenly cut off their supplies; it turns out Konoha was behind it all.

Can't these idiots see it?

The tactic provided by Konoha is actually a very unfriendly one.

Once the Land of Earth's food supply is cut off, the Land of Earth will fight desperately to protect itself, while the Land of Lightning will also fight desperately due to the general offensive.

When two sides fight desperately, it will inevitably lead to mutual destruction.

Finally, Konoha came out to reap the rewards, wasn't that a one-shot victory?

……and many more.

Onoki picked up the scroll with trembling hands, his mind racing with thoughts.

The Land of Wind suddenly refused to provide supplies because it had been attacked by the Land of Fire's Konoha.

At this very moment, the Land of Lightning followed Konoha's plan and launched a full-scale attack to cut off their supplies.

The Land of Fire then sent him another message, explaining that they had allied with the Land of Lightning...

Not right.

There must be something fishy about this.

Onoki's mind raced, and Koto wiped away his cold sweat, nervously watching his father deep in thought.

He took out the scroll from before and gently placed it aside, hoping not to disturb his father.
