Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

Hidden Rock Village.

Onoki carefully read Konoha's statement, his expression filled with emotion.

A moment later, he handed the documents to his son, Huang Tu, and said with a sigh, "The pressure of this 'shadow' is driving people to become ghosts..."

"Hiruzen Sarutobi is a kind and honest man, but his words have become so sharp these days."

After saying that, Onoki turned his waist, making a slight sound.

As people reach middle age, their once incredibly resilient bodies begin to show unusual signs.

In Onoki's view, the provocation from Kumogakure had angered Hiruzen Sarutobi, who held a dovish stance...

"The Hokage said the Third Raikage's ascension to the throne was illegitimate? Is that true, Father…?"

The phrase "yellow earth" came out.

Onoki's lower back, which hadn't been hurting much before, suddenly felt like it had been hit by a hammer, and the pain instantly intensified.

"Yellow Earth, even though you're not cut out to be the Earth Shadow, that doesn't mean you can relax!" Onoki criticized, puffing out his beard and glaring.

"Read the history of the Ninja World War ten times!"

Huang Tu stood ramrod straight: "Yes, Lord Tuying!"

Seeing this, Onoki shook his head helplessly.

His son, though seemingly "stupid," possessed remarkable resilience and composure.

But stupidity is stupidity...

"Whether the Second Raikage's death was related to the Third Raikage, who knows besides himself?"

"But the Third Raikage was a true martial arts fighter, that's undeniable..."

"Tobirama Senju was negotiating peace with the Second Raikage when they were ambushed by the Gold and Silver Brothers, who were also martial artists..."

"Thunder and fire merge, two shadows perish, the rest rise to power—doesn't that sound pleasing to the ear!"

"Conspiracy theories don't need a logical chain; they only need a point that aligns with their interests, and those with ulterior motives will naturally fill in the gaps by subtly incorporating it."

"It really does seem that way..." Huang Tu's expression changed: "Will this affect Yunyin?"

"Yes, but not much."

Onoki floated in the air with his hands behind his back: "Although I despise Kumogakure and the Raikage, as an opponent, I have to admit that he is a charismatic leader."

"There might be some noise from the Hidden Cloud Village, but it won't affect anything."

"What's truly interesting is Kirigakure, where the speaker may be unintentional, but the listener is certainly attentive."

Onoki chuckled and recounted the entanglement between Hozuki Gengetsu, the Second Kage, and the Third Mizukage to Yoto.

"The Hidden Mist Village is going to be in chaos now, isn't it?" Huang Tu said solemnly. "Father, do you think the Third Hokage did this on purpose?"

Whether it was intentional or not is not important.

"The important thing is that he can disrupt the internal affairs of Kirigakure. No matter who he is or what he wants to do, I have to help him out!" Onoki made a gesture of slamming his fist on the table, but because he was in the air, he missed.

There was a moment of awkwardness.

Huang Tu silently and steadily lifted the desk in the clay shadow box: "Father, let's do it one more time!"

Onoki and his son exchanged a glance and both smiled.

"Master Mu died because of that madman, Hozuki Gengetsu..."

"Those sons of bitches from Kirigakure are born uncivilized, bloodthirsty as toys!"

Onoki waved his hand:

"Issue a proclamation to the entire ninja world, stating that the Third Raikage, a person unworthy of his position, inexplicably assumed power after the death of the Second Raikage. Because he is not trusted by the major ninja clans, his personality has become distorted, and he will eventually become cruel and bloodthirsty."

"A person like that is not qualified to be a Kage. Encouraging the ninjas of Kumogakure to voluntarily change Kage would be beneficial to the Land of Lightning and the entire ninja world."

Huang Tu's lips twitched. How could this be the Third Raikage?

That's practically pointing your finger at the Third Mizukage and yelling at him...

Onoki stroked his beard, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Being a troll is really fun... especially when you're trolling your old enemy.

"However, since Hiruzen Sarutobi dared to say that..." Onoki's eyes flashed: "He also had some controversies back then, which shows that Konoha's power is well integrated now."

Huang Tu chuckled: "Fortunately, you have no objection to this."

Onoki smiled smugly.

He is indeed the most legitimate film star right now.

The First Tsuchikage, Ishigawa, had his eye on him since he was a child.

He helped Onoki solidify his foundation and also put him in charge of wiping the stone that represented the "Will of Stone".

The Second Tsuchikage, Mu, was also his master…

Therefore, Onoki's words carried immense weight in Iwagakure, giving him considerable influence over most of the village.

However, if this situation continues for a long time, it is inevitable that some arrogance will arise.

Some geniuses and strong individuals do not like such constraints.

For example, Rōshi, who is a Jinchūriki, greatly dislikes Ōnoki's autocratic attitude and has been reluctant to return to the village.

"Konoha is changing, and Iwagakure cannot fall behind..."

"Huang Tu, the formation of the Explosive Release unit must be accelerated!"

"Also, tell the eligible ninjas in the village to have children now. If any of them are talented, I might even take them on as disciples!"

"You too, you piece of yellow earth!" Onoki smacked his son on the head hard. "We weren't talking about you, were we?"

This account didn't get a top-tier Tsuchikage prototype...

But if we train another one, Sunzi might still have a chance!

A few days later.

After Iwagakure's statement was announced to the entire ninja world.

The Hidden Cloud Village didn't react much; at first, they found it all very strange.

Why is this insult so inaccurate?

You actually think any Cloud Ninja would believe these baseless rumors?

The Third Raikage's heroic figure, fighting the Eight-Tails with his bare hands and taking the lead in protecting the villagers, is deeply etched in everyone's heart.

Not to mention that his succession was largely uncontroversial, even if there were…

After this incident, there were very few people who still harbored resentment towards the Third Raikage.

For a film director, improving the village and being the first to solve problems when trouble arises is always the top priority.

"Oh...you're talking about that Third Mizukage guy, right?"

"Onoki is truly cunning, using Hiruzen Sarutobi's words as a pretext to try and incite infighting within Kirigakure..." The Third Raikage sneered.

"In that case, let's add fuel to the fire!"

"If we can weaken our opponent even slightly, then our ninjas will shed less blood in the future!"

Tsuchikage nodded knowingly, "Leave it to me, Raikage-sama."

These messages were gathered at Kirigakure.

The Third Mizukage, awaiting responses from the various villages and further strengthening the legal framework of his "Village of Blood Mist," nearly overturned his entire desk.

What does it mean?

It's clearly a war of words between Konoha and Kumogakure...

Why are they all hinting at me in the end?

No, it's explicit!

The Third Mizukage clenched his fists tightly, his eyes as cold as ice, but the restlessness and resentment in his heart burned like a raging fire.

Even when he was defeated in public by Hozuki Gengetsu back then, his killing intent had never been this strong!

The feeling of being mocked by the entire ninja world for his most private secrets was driving him crazy!

"Kumogakure, Iwagakure, even Sunagakure have to chime in!"

The Third Mizukage, panting heavily, said, "Konoha too..."

"No, I am the Mizukage, I must remain calm and think things through... Konoha is retaliating against Kumogakure, they should not have any ill intentions towards me, and Hiruzen Sarutobi echoed my call to strengthen the military of various villages..."

Even the Third Mizukage, in his extreme rage, wouldn't think it was feasible to fight four opponents alone.

If we can establish a cooperative relationship with Konoha, then there will be benefits.

At worst, we can cooperate first and then betray each other; that's a tradition of Kirigakure.

The term "closed off" only refers to the closed-off nature of the Hidden Mist ninjas; it doesn't mean that he, the Mizukage, is the same.

If it's completely closed off, then if all the major hidden villages unite and he doesn't even know it, then there will be huge trouble.

"The reason this has fallen on me is mainly because of that beast Onoki! And the Third Raikage!"

"And those damned bloodline ninja clans who don't obey me!"

The Third Mizukage suddenly stood up.

From this moment on, he will officially open the "Village of Blood Mist" and devote all his energy to purging those rebels who do not obey him!

When the next Shinobi World War arrives, he will lead a loyal army to prove that his formidable reputation as the Third Mizukage is no less than that of Hozuki Gengetsu!

As the saying goes, some people are happy while others are sad.

The Mizukage Building in Kirigakure swayed precariously in its rage.

Meanwhile, at the ninja academy in Konoha.

Asuma, Shisui, Kakashi, and others gathered together and sat cross-legged on the grassland behind the mountain, as if on a picnic, each taking out their prized possessions from their pockets.

For most children, they would probably take out snacks or something similar...

What they took out were their family's heirloom cultivation manuals!
