Ignite the fire from the pirates

The completion of the mission is the only thing a ninja should abide by.

These ideas...are the rules that the nobles have given to ninjas over the past thousands of years.

This rule continues to this day, and even in the early days of each ninja village, after the establishment of education similar to ninja schools, it became a must-learn subject.

Among them, the blood mist system of Kirigakure is the bloodiest.

But people have emotions, and at the same time, high-ranking officials such as the Kage of each village are aware of the subtle relationships between the village and the daimyo.

There was a flash of anger in the eyes of the Fourth Raikage, but he couldn't explode like he did in the Hidden Cloud Village. He could only force himself to hold it back.

The existence of the ninja village depends on the financial support of the daimyo government, which has been clear since the beginning of the ninja village system.

He holds absolute military power, but has no way to take over power.

Possessing a physique that can refine chakra makes them naturally different from ordinary people, and naturally opposed to ordinary people.

Arrogance is inevitable, and self-sufficiency is impossible. There are precedents for farming, but without exception, they all ended in failure.

"call……"

The Fourth Raikage exhaled, "Sir Daimyo, as the Raikage, I have no way of abandoning them."

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning smiled sarcastically.

"So what do you want to do? Use the power of Kumogakure to conquer Konoha? Once the war starts, have you thought about what the consequences will be if you fail?"

The Fourth Raikage glared at him: "So I should abandon my companions? When the mission was issued, they did not consider the danger of the mission at all and headed for Konoha without hesitation!"

"Even after the first mission failed, they still obeyed orders and carried out the second mission! They put their lives at risk, and now we have to abandon them?!"

The rising voice made the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning change his expression.

He stood up suddenly and looked at the Fourth Raikage.

"Isn't that what a ninja is for? Are you questioning me as a daimyo? What do you want to do? Think clearly about your identity and responsibilities!"

"The Hidden Cloud Village is a ninja village in the Land of Lightning. All its expenses require the daimyo to pay a huge amount of money every year!"

"Now! Just to test Konoha for the Land of Lightning, and just because a few ninjas were imprisoned in Konoha, you want to gamble on the fate of the Land of Lightning?"

Under the angry gaze of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, the Raikage was equally unwilling to be outdone.

This kind of confrontation has not occurred for many years.

Even during the Third Ninja World War, when the Third Raikage led the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village into the war, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning only asked twice.

But going to the Ninja World War at this time is very different.

The envoy from the Fire Country Daimyo's Mansion was driven back by Konoha, and the mission commission was almost zero, but Konoha was not forced to compromise.

During this period, several small countries such as the Rain Country, which were occupied by the school organization, had already been blatantly providing support to Konoha.

In this situation, Konoha's position is very clear.

The main reason why they were unable to launch a siege was the opposition from the Fire Country Daimyo, as well as the problems of Kirigakure and Sunagakure, which made the nobles not sure of victory.

However, the Lord of the Lightning Country would never dare to openly state that he lacked confidence.

In order to avoid being discovered, he now had to exert more force than before.

Because he also didn't know whether the people from the school organization had ever had contact with the Raikage.

After exerting force, you naturally need comfort.

At this time, the staff member next to the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning said, "Your Highness is also thinking about Kumogakure. Perhaps the Raikage doesn't know that Konoha is very different from the past."

The Raikage Mask wondered.

The aide continued, "Not long ago, Danzo Shimura was put on trial by the Fourth Hokage and eventually had to commit suicide. Not only that, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was also put on trial and questioned, and in the end the Sarutobi clan was also held accountable."

"At this time in Konoha, the Hokage who was born a commoner has integrated the power of the entire village. Even the Hyuga, who are also nobles, have problems."

"Golden Flash, Shinobi, the Sannin, Uchiha, Hyuga, Ino-Shika-cho... With the integration of the power of the Shinobi clan and civilian ninjas, Konoha's power is probably even stronger than it was during the Third Shinobi World War."

After the words fell, the Fourth Raikage was stunned for a moment, but still did not speak.

It has only been a few years since the Third Ninja World War ended. After the war, each village has been recuperating and there have been very few conflicts between the five major ninja villages.

Although there are spies planted between villages, the spies' level must be low and what they know is limited.

Naturally, the Fourth Raikage had no idea how powerful Konoha was today.

The aide's expression remained unchanged and he could only sigh.

"Your Majesty did not want to give up the heroes of the Land of Lightning, but the originally agreed result was shelved due to the opposition of the Land of Fire. Your Majesty expressed strong opposition during the talks, but there was still no way to change it."

"Konoha's position is almost clear, but the Fire Country Daimyo still has illusions. At this time, if the Raikage insists on having his own way, then the other three great ninja villages will watch Kumogakure consume Konoha's power."

"When both sides are defeated, there may be only three major ninja villages left in the entire ninja world. And not long after that, the Land of Lightning will also be divided up because of this."

"Is this the situation that the Raikage wants to see?"

After he finished speaking, the Fourth Raikage was finally moved.

Those so-called tool remarks just now made him angry, but after his anger subsided, he naturally understood why Yunyin could not take the initiative to initiate a war.

Everyone is waiting. If Kumogakure doesn't wait, it will become a delicacy on the table just like Konoha.

This is the truth, but the more I think about it, the angrier I get.

"I see."

……

The Fourth Raikage left the Daimyo Prefecture and headed for the Hidden Cloud Village.

Inside the Daimyo's mansion, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning and his staff were still talking.

"This bastard is just like his father. He has lightning-attribute chakra and has a hot temper."

"Your Highness, if it weren't for this character flaw, how could ninjas have obeyed the nobles since the Warring States Period..."

Upon hearing this, the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder was silent for a while.

This is indeed the case.

The power called Chakra is refined from mental and physical energy. While possessing the physique of a ninja, these people have all sorts of problems in their personalities.

Over the years, only Hashirama Senju had ever made them panic.

The first Hokage, who did not consider using force to solve problems at the first time, even facilitated the first Five Kage Summit, which allowed peace in the ninja world to continue for many years.

That time... was really the critical point.

If he hadn't died, the aristocratic group might have had to personally start a war in order to balance the ninja's consumption of resources and allow the nobles of the daimyo prefecture to continue to prosper.

The God of Ninja who ended the Warring States Period really frightened them at that time.

One person intimidates the entire world and only starts a war when he dies. What a deterrent force this is.

"Yes... If it weren't for this character flaw, the darkest moment recorded in the literature would probably have lasted from the Warring States Period to the present day."

The voice of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning trembled slightly.

He recalled the period recorded in the documents; it was the darkest period for the nobility and also the most unscrupulous era for ninjas.

The two sons of the Six Paths Sage are in conflict with each other, and the families passed down by the two have been fighting for generations, making the whole world live in fear.

The Ninja Clan collapsed, and the expected dawn did not come. Instead, those ninjas who possessed power began to kill without restraint.

No matter whether they were nobles or commoners, the family that inherited the Immortal's Eye carried out the killing without the slightest scruples.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door, and the aide bowed and went forward to inquire.

After a moment, he held a scroll in his hand and handed it to the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning.

"Information about Konoha in the Land of Fire: the Root was destroyed, but a group of people still remained loyal to Danzo and, by coincidence, escaped reckoning."

The staff was somewhat proud: "After the news of the public trial of Danzo came out, our people have been waiting. The intelligence that the Root was unwilling to trade in the past is now easily obtained."

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning nodded slightly, took the scroll, opened it and began to read.

But just at the beginning, his pupils suddenly dilated.

"kaleidoscope……"

Just three words stunned the staff.

When the ninja village system was first established, the two former heroes of the Warring States period united together, which was something the aristocratic group had never expected.

There is Hashirama Senju, and there is Uchiha Madara. The two have fought countless times since the Warring States Period.

At that time, the aristocratic group was glad about the conflict between the two people.

The wooden man who was as big as a mountain, and the equally huge chakra armored warrior, were completely beyond the realm of ninja. They were powerful but to such an extent that they could not be countered by a single number of people.

The battle in the Valley of the End, the terrain changed by the two men is still terrifying to this day.

Now, the Sharingan that Uchiha Madara possessed has reappeared, and the one who possessed this power was the disciple of the Fourth Hokage...

"Konoha...why does such a genius appear in every generation?"

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning sounded somewhat frustrated.

But the staff said: "The power of the Mangekyō Sharingan is very strong, but the power that exceeds the limits of ninja is Uchiha Madara."

"Your Highness, the Mangekyō Sharingan is not the same as Uchiha Madara."

The daimyo sighed, then handed the scroll to his aide.

Soon, he was also stunned by the content of the intelligence.

Ever since the Konoha Ninja School started offering history classes five years ago, history classes have been included in the graduation examination.

In every class, there are a number of students who successfully pass the assessment, and among this group of students, there are also some who awaken their domineering nature.

According to the information that has been confirmed, the domineering power of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze has reached an extremely terrifying level.

Even awakened the domineering Haki.

"This is the confidence of the Fourth Hokage..."

The staff also sighed: "Haki can restrain chakra, plus the mobility of its Flying Thunder God Technique, even the Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode will probably be penetrated under the restraint."

The daimyo's eyes narrowed, and then he said, "Send this scroll to the Fourth Raikage, and tell him that this is what I am worried about. If he is sure, I can support him."

The aide bowed slightly.

"clear."

He then stood up, arranged for people to catch up with the Fourth Raikage who was leaving, and went there in person to provide the information.

He knew very well that the daimyo had not agreed to go to war, and all he needed to do was to make up for his previous attitude.

The emergence of this information has made the daimyo feel insecure.

As the greatest power in the Land of Lightning, Yunyin became a target that had to be won over after this information appeared.

……

The Fourth Raikage, who had just left the Daimyo Prefecture, soon met with his staff again.

After reading the scroll in his hand, the Fourth Raikage became more certain.

With the power of Kumogakure alone, I'm afraid it's really impossible to defeat Konoha.

"Please tell His Majesty the Daimyo that Kumogakure will endure and will not be the first sword to be broken."

Afterwards, the Fourth Raikage set out again.

By nightfall, they were approaching the Hidden Cloud Village.

The two jonin who followed this time also included Darui, and their guard was relaxed a lot.

"I'm finally back to the village. I can finally have less trouble."

The jonin at the side said helplessly: "Keep your voice down, if the Raikage hears it, he will definitely scold you again."

Darui yawned, but in an instant, his expression that seemed like he was still asleep suddenly changed.

After jumping up, he landed in a direction outside the garrison, with his hand on the hilt of the big knife behind him.

"who?"

From the shadows, three figures walked out slowly.
