At the entrance of Konoha Village, a ninja team of more than fifty people appeared.
These people all have bronze skin, are strong and healthy, wear ninja swords, and walks confidently.
From the forehead protectors on their heads, it is easy to deduce that this is the Kumogakure team who came to Konoha to take the Chunin Exam.
The front of the crowd.
He was a muscular man nearly two meters tall, walking with long strides.
He had a beard and wore a large white cloak, revealing his plump chest muscles and well-defined abdominal muscles. There is a gold belt around the waist, and thick gold wristbands are worn on both arms, like a pair of dumbbells on the arms.
The most eye-catching thing is the bamboo hat on the man’s head, with the word “Thunder” written on it.
He is the fourth generation Raikage of Kumogakure. He exudes the temperament of a big brother who takes the lead. The impression he gives is in one words:
Reliable.
Next to the Raikage are his guards and secretaries, Cee, Darui, Mabui, Omoi, Karui… they are all young talents promoted by the Fourth Raikage.
Like stars over the moon, surrounding this majestic Raikage-sama.
Wherever everyone passes.
After being recognized by the ninjas and villagers of Konoha, everyone looked sideways and hid on both sides of the street to make way for them.
This is because–
Three years ago, the Kumogakure mission had led to the kidnapping Hyuga Hinata.
It was clearly Kumogakure who was at fault first, but the final result was that Konoha admitted its mistake and asked the Hyuga clan to hand over the body of Hyuga Hizashi to apologize.
since then.
In front of Kumogakure, the ninjas and villagers of Konoha felt lowered, so they stayed away at this time and did not dare to provoke him easily.
Seeing the gloomy look in Konoha Village.
“It seems that the defeat in the war has made Konoha’s morale very low.” The Fourth Raikage said angrily.
Darui held the back of his head with both hands, holding a toothpick in his mouth, and lazily echoed:
“After all, they lost three thousand ninja troops overnight.”
There was a sense of gloating in his tone.
“Looking at the situation, the Chuunin Exams probably won’t be held. We won’t go in vain, right?”
Cee also joked, smiling.
He has fair skin and a handsome face. His style is completely different from other Kumogakure ninjas. He is an all-round ninja.
Together with Darui, he is also known as the right-hand man of the Fourth Raikage.
Hearing this, the Fourth Raikage shook his head:
“It doesn’t matter. Anyway, the Chunin Exam is just an excuse. The purpose of our trip is to find out the reality of Konoha.”
Hearing Raikage’s loud and unabashed voice.
Mabui on the side slapped her forehead helplessly, rolled her eyes, and silently complained:
Raikage-sama, you really never bother to hide your inner intentions, but is it really okay to say it in public like this?
at this time.
Two Konoha Anbu appeared in a hurry, saluted the Fourth Raikage and informed them that the Third Hokage had been waiting in the reception room for a long time.
“Lead the way.”
Raikage waved his hand.
So.
The mighty Kumogakure crowd, watched by the villagers of Konoha, walked through Ichiraku Avenue in a hurry and arrived in front of the Hokage Building.
“You guys go to the hotel to rest first.”
The Raikage gave instructions to Mabui and the others, and then took only Cee and Darui with him and strode into the Hokage Building.
Reception room.
As soon as the Raikage entered the door, he saw the Sandaime wearing the Hokage robe, with deep eyes and a majestic expression.
But his eyes immediately moved away from the Sandaime and fell on a short-haired man behind him.
The man was almost as tall as Raikage, and his tall figure looked even stronger than Raikage. He was wearing a high-collared blue robe, giving people a sense of oncoming strong oppression.
The Fourth Raikage felt a chill in his heart and said secretly:
Finally I see you, Uchiha Dan. Compared with the photos, the real person is indeed more powerful and extraordinary, and his aura is much stronger.
Just when Raikage was sizing him up.
“Welcome, Fourth Raikage.”
The Sandaime stepped forward, showed a friendly smile, and shook hands with Raikage.
Then.
He raised his palm upwards, put his five fingers together and stretched out towards the end, and introduced to the Raikage:
“This is my assistant, Uchiha Dan.”
“I’ve heard of his name a long time ago.”
The Fourth Raikage looked directly at Dan and extended a big hand to the latter.
Seeing this, Dan took a step forward and shook hands with Raikage.
Suddenly.
Raikage’s eyes widened, and he exerted force on his palms, causing all the veins in his arms to bulge.
He wanted to see how good he was.
Faced with Raikage’s provocation, Dan remained expressionless, but his hands suddenly increased strength, and his sleeves were held up by the bulging arm muscles.
Um?
Raikage’s expression suddenly changed, and he felt as if Dan’s big hand was like an iron pliers, constantly tightening, and the huge force was about to crush his palm into pieces.
After the two sides were in a stalemate for several seconds.
Boom!
Blue Thunder Chakra suddenly burst out from the Fourth Raikage’s body, and the floor under his feet also “clicked” and cracked inch by inch.
“Raikage, what is this?” The Sandaime looked surprised when he saw this scene.
At this time.
Dan suddenly let go of his hand and ended the handshake calmly.
The Fourth Raikage looked shocked.
His handshake with Dan was originally a competition of pure physical strength, but he fell behind and was forced to use chakra first.
So he lost.
However, Raikage has never been a person who cannot afford to lose, so he smiled heartily and admitted generously:
“Sorry, I couldn’t help but compete with Dan on a whim, but I couldn’t control it.”
Cee and Darui looked at each other.
It’s simply unbelievable that there are people in this world who are more powerful than Raikage-sama.
The Sandaime glanced at the Raikage’s big hand and saw that the back of his hand was white, clearly leaving Dan’s handprint, and he immediately understood what was going on.
After all, he had been shaken by Dan like this not long ago. Now that he saw that Raikage was no match for Dan, his heart suddenly felt a lot more balanced.
at the same time.
The Sandaime was also secretly thankful that he temporarily called Dan over to help calm things down.
As soon as Dan made a move, he gave Raikage a powerful blow.
Thinking of this.
“hehe.”
The Sandaime smoothed things over with a smile and let the matter pass.
After the two parties exchanged a few words, they sat down at the conference table and officially started the meeting.
As soon as he came up, the Sandaime showed a wry smile and said to Raikage:
“I’m sorry, I believe you have also seen the current situation in Konoha. I’m afraid this Chunin Exam will have to be cancelled, leaving you with a wasted trip.”
The Chunin Examination is usually a rare event.
Especially for the host Ninja Village, it can attract a large number of tourists and earn a lot of income by selling tickets to the examination venue.
But right now, Konoha has just suffered a major defeat, and the mainland is still facing the threat of enemy invasion at any time.
In such an atmosphere, the people were in panic all the time. How could they be in the mood to watch the Chunin Examinations.
Who would have expected.
When the Fourth Raikage heard this, he waved his hand and responded proudly:
“Don’t worry, if Amagekure invades Konoha, we Kumogakure will naturally not sit idly by and will definitely lend a helping hand. I heard that the leader of Akatsuki, Pain, destroyed Konoha’s three thousand army and claimed to be a god. I would like to Have a fight with this god and see how strong he is!”
The Raikage-sama said that they should just hand Pain over to him when the time comes.
In addition, if Konoha is short of manpower, Kumogakure’s tens of thousands of troops are already ready and can send their troops south at any time to defeat Amegakure together with Konoha.
Hearing the Raikage’s enthusiastic words, the Sandaime’s face turned pale.
If he agrees to the other party, I’m afraid that once Kumogakure’s army arrives, they will stay in Konoha forever.
Faced with Raikage’s aggressive offensive.
The Sandaime was walking on thin ice, so he could only forcefully smile and decline, trying his best to mediate with the other party.
During this period.
Regarding the Chunin Examination, the Sandaime found that he couldn’t refuse, so he had to promise the Raikage that the exam would be held as scheduled.
certainly.
This exam will be conducted in a low-key manner and will not be made public. When the time comes, the participating genin from the two major ninja villages will have a symbolic exchange and it will be over.
The meeting lasted for almost half an hour and finally ended.
Finally, the Sandaime said to Raikage:
“You have been tired from the journey, so you might as well rest for two days before starting the Chunin Exam.”
“OK.”
The Fourth Raikage readily agreed, which was exactly what he wanted.
Before he stood up and left, he suddenly looked at Dan again.
During the meeting just now, although Dan was sitting on one side with the Sandaime, he kept his arms folded and remained silent, as if he was staying away from the incident and watching the show.
This allowed Raikage to confirm the information that Samui had sent back to Kumogakure.
As expected, there were serious disagreements between Dan and the Sandaime, Uchiha and Konoha’s top management.
He realized that this was Kumogakure’s opportunity.
So.
The Fourth Raikage smiled and asked Dan:
“I heard that you opened a famous gym in Konoha called the Body Transformation Department. Coincidentally, my biggest hobby is to exercise muscles. What do you think…how am I doing?”
After saying that, he also bent his arms and showed his towering biceps to the other party.
Dan glanced at Raikage’s arm lines, chest muscles and abdominal muscles, and then made a few comments:
“It’s okay. The latitude is not big enough, and the thickness is a little worse. The shape and lines of the muscles need to be improved…”
When the Fourth Raikage heard this, his face suddenly stiffened.
He was not angry, but smiled again:
“As expected, you are professional. I would like to take some time to visit the Uchiha Meat Modification Department and ask you some questions about fitness. Do you welcome me?”
“The Department of Physical Transformation will always open its door to every fitness enthusiast.” Dan said calmly.
“good!”
The Fourth Raikage immediately made an appointment with Dan, setting it for tomorrow morning, and then took his guards with him, turned around, and strode away.
The Sandaime couldn’t help but change his face when he saw the passionate exchange between the two.
Why did he feel that when the Fourth Raikage and Dan met, they felt some sympathy for each other?
and.
When the Raikage talks to him, the Third Hokage, he always has a strong attitude, but when communicating with Dan, he treats him equally.
It was as if Dan was the Hokage.
“I’m going back first.” After saying this, Dan stood up and left.
Looking at the retreating figure, the Sandaime narrowed his eyes, feeling a deep sense of crisis.
If the Uchiha clan colludes with Kumogakure’s power internally and externally, for Konoha——
The trouble is big.
well.
I don’t know how Jiraiya is doing now.
……
Amegakure, inside the high tower.
“Konoha has turned to full-scale defense, and all ninjas have retreated to their homeland. Nagato, it seems that your attack this time scared Konoha, the leader of the five ninja villages.”
Konan reported the battle situation to Nagato in the wheelchair, showing a faint smile.
“Where are the Uchiha people? Are there any actions?”
Nagato asked.
In the whole of Konoha, he only cares about the Uchiha clan, especially the pairs of Mangekyo of Uchiha, which are the biggest threat in his eyes.
Konan’s expression was a little strange:
“You may not believe it, but the Uchiha clan is very afraid of your Rinnegan Eye. There are even rumors that once you come to Konoha, Uchiha Dan will lead the entire clan to surrender to you, because they believe that you are the reincarnation of the Six Paths Sage and are destined to Unify the ninja world.”
When Nagato heard this, he was a little surprised:
“I have to say that in the entire ninja world, only the Uchiha clan truly realizes my power and makes the most correct choice. However, it is also possible that this is a deliberate show of weakness by the other party and wants to use this method to lure me to risk attacking Konoha.”
He did not let down his guard.
Although Pain’s Six Paths are invincible, Nagato’s body is weak. Once he leaves Amegakure Village, he will face risks.
Konan also nodded and agreed:
“With the strength of Amegakure, it is unrealistic to counterattack Konoha itself. And in the process, we have to be wary of the movements of other ninja villages, as well as that guy Obito.”
Nagato pondered for a while.
He has not forgotten that his real goal is to collect all tailed beasts and use the power of the Gedo statue to create the ultimate weapon.
so.
He shocked Konoha and the entire ninja world with this war. It was time to stop as soon as it was good.
“Are we going to send an envoy to start negotiations with Konoha? The Third Hokage is now in a difficult position, and he will surely be eager to sign an armistice agreement with us.”
Konan suggested.
Nagato shook his head: “No need, Konoha’s envoy has already arrived first, I asked Pain to talk to him.”
Just now, his Rain Technique sensed a very powerful chakra.
“Who is it?” Konan asked curiously.
“Jiraiya-sensei.”
……
A river somewhere in Amegakure.
“Quack.”
With a cry, a green toad emerged from the water. It seemed to be quite intelligent and looked around until it confirmed that no one was around.
Then he opened his mouth widely.
A surprising scene happened.
An arm stretching out from the toad’s mouth, then a head, torso, legs… Finally, a big living person crawled out of the little toad’s body.
“I successfully sneaked in. It was surprisingly easy.”
Jiraiya muttered to himself, then stepped on the water and walked towards the sewer pipe not far away.
However.
What Jiraiya didn’t expect was that someone was already waiting for him there.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Sixpath’s figure wearing an Akatsuki windbreaker fell from the sky and instantly surrounded Jiraiya.
“Yahiko…”
Jiraiya stared solemnly at the young man opposite him with orange hair and metal nails on his face, and then changed his words, “No, I should call you Nagato, right?”
At this moment, he was ready to fight to the death.
“Relax, Jiraiya-sensei. You are lucky, today is not your day to die.”
Yahiko, or Heaven Path Pain, walked towards Jiraiya and said to the latter, “I want to cease war with Konoha and sign a peace agreement. You should be able to make the decision on this kind of thing, right?”
“What?”
When Jiraiya heard this, he immediately opened his mouth wide and froze in surprise.
A few hours later.
In a well in Konoha Village, a toad emerged from the water. It was discovered by Konoha’s intelligence department and a document was obtained from its mouth.
This document was sent to the Hokage Building as soon as possible and arrived on the third generation’s desk.
After that.
The Hokage Office had announced that Konoha and Amegakure have signed an armistice agreement!
The news quickly spread throughout the village.
