Naruto: Evil is easy to commit, making Amegakure great again.

The thoughts of Raiga and other pro-war members of Kumogakure were actually very simple—as one of the five great nations of the ninja world, Kumogakure could not bow down to the Land of Rain under any circumstances!

Otherwise, how can they still call themselves a "powerful nation in the ninja world"?

And after death, go to see the countless heroes who died for the glory of Kumogakure?

"How could you bastards born in times of war possibly understand how precious peace is to ordinary people?"

The First Shinobi World War had just ended less than thirty years ago.

The common people throughout the ninja world lived in fear and despair over the war.

Under these circumstances, the pro-war members of Kumogakure, led by Raiga, still harbored a desire and fervor for war.

He wanted to take this opportunity to demonstrate the strength of Kumogakure and add honor and merit to his ninja career.

This is not good news for the entire Hidden Cloud Village.

"Peace is not won through weakness, concession, or compromise; it is achieved through the tempering of iron and blood!"

Regardless, their Hidden Cloud Village is one of the five most powerful ninja villages in the ninja world today.

Compared to Amegakure, which is located at the intersection of the three kingdoms of fire, earth, and wind, Kumogakure is undoubtedly one of the contenders for the title of "Ninja World Overlord"!

"Can't you war faction see the situation in the ninja world clearly?"

Just then, a senior conservative official seemed to have had enough.

He immediately ignored the two people beside him trying to stop him and the Third Raikage's headache-looking expression, and slammed his hand on the table in front of him.

Without saying a word, he threw everything he could in front of him at Raiya and his group.

His expression was angry, and his words were harsh and forceful.

"The rise of the Rain Kingdom is now unstoppable!"

"If we rashly wage war against the Land of Rain, the only outcome awaiting Kumogakure may be a fate akin to 'national annihilation'!"

"Is this what you wanted, Raiga—!?"

It's true that everyone in Yunyin Village is a roughneck.

But that doesn't mean they're not smart enough.

They can't even understand the most basic pros and cons.

Be firm when you need to be firm, and yield when you need to yield.

This is the fundamental reason why their Cloud Concealment has continued to exist and develop.

"A bunch of barbarians..."

"Enough—!"

Before Raiga could finish speaking, he was sternly rebuked by the Third Raikage, who was sitting in the main seat with a headache on his face.

"Have you pro-war faction forgotten the bloody history of how Kumogakure rose from chaos to become one of the five great ninja nations of today?"

It's important to know that this was before Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage of Konoha, passed away.

They, along with other ninja villages and forces in the ninja world, have always strived to maintain a seemingly peaceful but actually turbulent state.

This state could perhaps have been maintained while Hashirama Senju, the "God of Shinobi," was still alive, due to his immense strength and prestige.

But once Hashirama Senju, the "God of Shinobi," passes away, the entire Hidden Leaf Village will face a terrifying scene of being surrounded by wolves.

At that time, Kumogakure was one of the first ninja villages to launch an attack on Konoha after confirming that Hashirama Senju had truly died.

In a sense, everyone in the Hidden Cloud Village, from top to bottom, is an opportunist.

Before they are absolutely certain, they will almost always honestly hide their little thoughts and clues.

Try not to let outsiders find out.

"How similar the Land of Rain is to the Leaf Village of yesteryear..."

It also has a strong and charismatic leader.

Moreover, this leader himself possesses enough strength to sweep aside any country in the current ninja world.

This is more terrifying than any "Tailed Beast".

This means that the second leader of the Land of Rain is very likely to be like Hashirama Senju, the former God of Shinobi.

It possesses the terrifying power to suppress an entire era single-handedly.

Back then, their ancestors in Kumogakure chose to obediently accept Konoha's manipulation and arrangements precisely because they feared Hashirama Senju's power.

While Hashirama Senju was still alive, he honestly pretended to be friendly and peace-loving.

This is what allowed their Hidden Cloud Village to develop to where it is today.

They have the qualifications to compete with Konoha for the title of "Ninja World Overlord".

"A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan!"

In the eyes of the Third Raikage, the Land of Rain is no longer what it used to be.

Compared to the barren Land of Rain led by Hanzo of the Salamander, the Land of Rain, led by Jiang Ming, the second-generation leader, posed a greater threat to their Hidden Cloud Village.

Therefore, choosing to back down at this time and befriending the Land of Rain is not a sign of weakness.

Instead, it is a more realistic approach that aligns with the current fundamental interests of their Hidden Cloud Village.

"A powerful figure capable of single-handedly conquering an entire nation... Do you, the pro-war faction, really have enough confidence to defeat him, Raiga?"

The Third Raikage's eyes were sharp.

In an almost cold and indifferent tone, he made it clear that Lei Ya and other members of the pro-war faction were no match for Jiang Ming, the second-generation leader of the Rain Kingdom.

This was driving the members of the pro-war faction, led by Raiya, crazy with excitement.

They were so angry that their veins bulged all over their bodies, and they couldn't help but clench their hands tightly.

"How do you know we can't defeat him if we don't even try, Lord Raikage!"

Raiya is still being stubborn.

He continues to maintain the tough-guy style that is consistent with the pro-war faction.

They will not back down or back down in the current situation.

They'll be laughed at by their colleagues in Kumogakure for the rest of their lives.

"She's really stubborn..."

Seeing this, even A, who had been standing to the left of the Third Raikage and listening intently along with Brubi, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, who was standing to the right of the Third Raikage, couldn't stand it anymore.

His face involuntarily scrunched up.

I always felt that the toughest part of Lei Ya, the representative of the pro-war faction, was his mouth, which was always talking and never backing down.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Ai's cousin, Brubi, gestured with his eyes for the other person not to speak nonsense.

To avoid further provoking the pro-war faction led by Raiya.

This drove them to wage war against the Land of Rain at all costs.

That would be a case of losing more than you gain.

"I'm right..."

Ai was in his prime.

He was very different from the Fourth Raikage who later had to become cunning and calculating for the sake of the Hidden Cloud Village's development.

At this moment, Ai possessed both the vigor and confidence of a young person.

There is also a touch of rebellion and a thirst for the truth.

This is fatal for a politician.

Fortunately, his father, the third Raikage, was still young.

There is still plenty of time to teach and nurture him.

Brubi believed that under the tutelage of the Third Raikage, A would gradually grow stronger.

To become a politician in the true sense of the word.

To bring happiness to everyone in Hidden Cloud Village.

"Some things don't necessarily need to be argued to determine who is right or wrong; as long as you know the truth in your heart, that's enough."

Brubi has always been extremely attentive and respectful towards the Third Raikage and his cousin.

After he became the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, everyone around him changed their attitude towards him.

Only the Third Raikage and his cousin A continued to treat him as always.

Such kindness... he should repay it to the best of his ability!
