"Sakumo-senpai, this is no easy task."

Although his words were somewhat complaining, Uchiha Yoichi still got up to pack his ninja tools.

Hiruzen Sarutobi originally intended to have the Anbu inform Yoichi Uchiha, but Sakumo Hatake accepted the mission and came to the Uchiha clan compound to inform him instead.

"I have faith in Yoichi's strength, but I'm sorry, but when I accepted the mission, I considered that the Third Raikage would not take the initiative to fight, so I hoped that Yoichi would join this mission."

Sakumo Hatake honestly stated his purpose; he had no intention of plotting against Yoichi Uchiha, and it was purely for two reasons.

Uchiha Yoichi is very strong. With Uchiha Yoichi around, there is a chance to provoke the Third Raikage.

"It's alright. I was just thinking of getting out of the village for a bit, and with Senior Sakumo here, I can rest assured about this mission."

Despite saying that, Uchiha Yoichi still prepared everything very thoroughly; Raiga, soldier pills, Senzu beans, and various ninja tools, etc.

He even put on a ninja battle suit, something Uchiha Yoichi hadn't originally planned, as his body was already very strong.

But this time, the enemy he's facing is the Third Raikage, whose Lightning Release Chakra Mode has been honed for decades longer than his own. He's capable of fighting the Eight-Tails for three days and three nights, so it's best to be careful.

After making all the preparations, Uchiha Yoichi spoke with Uchiha Kenji before setting off, asking him to help inform the heads of various businesses, Mrs. Mikoto, and his three students. Then he left the clan territory with Hatake Sakumo.

Sakumo Hatake didn't make any preparations. Every time he returned from a mission, after greeting Kakashi, the first thing he did was prepare the supplies for the next mission.

Only after being prepared for any mission at any time can Sakumo Hatake relax a little.

Upon arriving at the meeting point, all the ninjas arranged by Hiruzen Sarutobi had already arrived.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio, led by Orochimaru, were responsible for restraining and blocking other Cloud Ninja.

The reconnaissance team, consisting of Hyuga, Inuzuka, Aburame, and a sensory ninja, was spread out in four positions: front, center, left, and right, responsible for scouting three directions and reporting to the ninja in the center.

Finally, there are Hatake Sakumo, Uchiha Yoichi, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Nakagawa Takizo, and Shirakumo Hayama.

The three ninjas dispatched by Hiruzen Sarutobi were all very strong. His eldest son, although young, was quite famous in the village. As for Takizō Nakagawa and Hayama Hakukumo, they were both elite Jonin in the village.

"I believe you are all clear about the mission. I have already arranged the formation for the journey. If there are no problems, let's set off."

After saying that, the thirteen people present immediately leaped up and set off.

Even the youngest, Uchiha Yoichi, is a Jonin who has experienced hundreds of missions. His team includes Konoha's White Fang, the Sannin, and himself, the rising star Konoha's Raiga.

Although his mission was to hold back the Third Raikage, Uchiha Yoichi actually had a real desire to kill him.

------------

In a secluded forest, twelve Cloud Ninja sat to rest. After a while, three Cloud Ninja returned to relieve the other three and keep watch on the surroundings.

The Land of Fire is covered with dense forests, and there are quite a few secluded places like this where one can rest.

"Mabum, have you received any intelligence from Killer Bee?"

A dark-skinned, muscular man asked the Cloud Ninja beside him. He was the strongest ninja in the Cloud Village, the Third Raikage.

"We've been in the Land of Fire for almost half a month, and they've even looted the village's supplies twice. Has Konoha not reacted at all?"

The ninja named Mabum shook his head and said, "There's been no news from the Land of Earth yet, but Konoha won't tolerate us for long. They should have sent people out; they might be looking for us."

"Third Hokage, perhaps we should take a break; after all, this is the Land of Fire!"

If this were in the Land of Rice Fields, Mabum wouldn't be so worried, but this is enemy territory, and the Konoha ninjas could easily mobilize a large number of ninjas to surround and kill them.

The Third Raikage said, "Don't worry, trust Brim's sensory abilities. If Konoha sends a large number of ninja, we'll leave immediately."

"Senior Mabum, please rest assured, I will use sensory ninjutsu every ten minutes, and I will definitely be on guard around."

The one who spoke was Buriki from Kumogakure. He was the ninja with the strongest sensory abilities in Kumogakure, with a sensory range that even surpassed that of the Byakugan from Konoha.

Hearing Brim's assurance, Mabum felt slightly relieved, but he still asked, "Then, Lord Raikage, shall we return the Amber Purification Bottle first?"

"Let's wait seven more days and see if there's a third chance!"

The Third Raikage said in a deep voice, "If there is a third chance, we will teach Konoha a lesson. If not, we will return to the Land of Hot Springs."

Although he had a fiery temper, he was not a mindless brute; the opportunity he mentioned included not only plundering supplies but also intercepting Konoha ninjas.

If he had the chance to vent his anger, the Third Raikage would definitely not miss it. However, he would not stay in the Land of Fire indefinitely just to vent his anger; that would not make him a qualified Raikage.

After resting for a while, the Cloud Ninja gradually recovered their chakra and stamina.

However, after using his sensory ninjutsu once again, Brim suddenly frowned, then quickly opened his eyes and said to the Third Raikage, "Raikage-sama, there are ninjas approaching, but there are only three of them."

One of them is a sensory ninja; he looks like a Konoha ninja searching for us!

Sensory ninjutsu allows for mutual detection, so when Brimuk discovered the Konoha ninja, the Konoha ninja also discovered him.

"Only three ninjas?"

"We can't rule out the possibility of other ninjas behind us. Raikage-sama, the enemy is approaching us! They've appeared! It's not just these three ninjas; there are ten more behind them!"

Ten more ninjas suddenly appeared within Brimu's perception range.

"Bring the guards back."

After saying that, the Third Raikage asked Brim, "Is this all? It seems they don't know I'm leading this team, but think it's just an ordinary elite squad."

If they had known he was in the group, they should have sent more ninjas; however, after looting the supplies, they killed all the Konoha ninjas, so it was indeed difficult to obtain useful information.

"How much chakra do they have?"

Brim carefully sensed their chakra and then said, "Two of them have a lot of chakra, but it's far less than yours, Raikage-sama. One of them has more chakra than Mabum-senpai. The remaining ten are about the same."

"Looks like it's not the Third Hokage or the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki either. Let's prepare for battle and teach these Konoha bastards a lesson!"

"Yes, Lord Raikage!"

After hearing the information, the Third Raikage confirmed his suspicions: Konoha was unaware that he, the Raikage, was also sending out an elite ninja team to eliminate them.

Unfortunately, the Third Hokage made a mistake!

"Let's go to the plains we passed through before!"

After the Third Raikage gave the order, all the Cloud Ninja followed suit and moved. Most of the Cloud Ninja needed flat and open areas when fighting, and if the terrain was too obstructive, the Third Raikage's strength would be the first to be affected.

Once they reached a flat area with a clear view, the Third Raikage turned to look at Brim, who once again used his sensory ninjutsu and then pointed ahead, saying, "They're here."

A dozen ninjas appeared in the Third Raikage's field of vision. Both sides had sensory ninjas who could detect each other's presence, rendering tactics such as encirclement useless.

"The white-haired ninja, and that guy must be Orochimaru, that Uchiha bastard!!"

Upon seeing Uchiha Yoichi, the Third Raikage's anger erupted.

This Uchiha bastard stole the secret technique from the Hidden Cloud Village to control the power of the Tailed Beasts, destroyed the Hidden Cloud Village's Ninjutsu Building, hypnotized him with genjutsu, and almost killed him in the end!

Upon seeing this person, the Third Raikage could no longer contain his anger.

"Mabum, watch out for that Uchiha bastard's genjutsu. I'm going to kill him today."

On the other side, upon seeing the Cloud Ninja's group, Hatake Sakumo also noticed the Third Raikage's anger and couldn't help but say to Uchiha Yoichi...

"Yang Yi, it seems our plan has a chance of success."

Before they arrived, Uchiha Yoichi made the suggestion, Orochimaru agreed, Hatake Sakumo consulted with everyone, and finally Nara Yusuke was in charge of formulating the plan.

The Third Raikage might be difficult to kill, but they decided to eliminate all the Cloud Ninja except for the Third Raikage as a way of teaching him a lesson.

There are two things that need to be ensured in this plan: effectively restraining the Third Raikage.

Kill the other Cloud Ninjas as soon as possible.

The former was given to Uchiha Yoichi and Hatake Sakumo, while the latter was given to Orochimaru, Ino-Shika-Cho, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Nakagawa Takizo, and Shirakumo Hayama.

It's too dangerous to restrain the Third Raikage, so they need to kill the other Cloud Ninja as soon as possible.

Otherwise, even the White Fang and Raiga of Konoha would be outmatched against the Third Raikage.

"Yang Yi, I'm leaving you in charge."

"I see."

Uchiha Yangyi chewed the soldier's ration pill in his mouth, preparing to recover his chakra, and then quickly rushed towards the Cloud Ninja.

Orochimaru followed closely behind, while the other Konoha ninjas ran off in distinct directions to the left and right, according to the pre-arranged plan.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Having gathered his chakra in advance, he unleashed a sea of ​​fire from Uchiha Yoichi's mouth as he approached the Cloud Ninja!

The long-term absorption of natural energy caused changes in Uchiha Yangyi's chakra, and the heat released by Godzilla made his fire release far surpass that of all other Uchiha clan members.

"The Fire Release technique has too large a range, retreat!"

Almost without the Third Raikage giving an order, the other Cloud Ninja knew immediately that they couldn't withstand it, so they retreated in small formations to prepare to dodge this Fire Release ninjutsu.

"Earth Escape: Earth Current City Wall."

Orochimaru then used a ninjutsu, but under his deliberate control, the continuously appearing earthen walls directly divided the battlefield into two areas, with the Third Raikage in the most dangerous position on the left.

"We succeeded, Senior Sakumo, and Mr. Yoichi."

Upon hearing Orochimaru's signal, Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Yoichi almost immediately unleashed lightning upon themselves, instantly teleporting towards the Third Raikage.
