The rumbling thunder echoed among the mountain peaks, and it seemed that the sea of ​​clouds hanging on the top of the mountain was dyed black. The damp cold wind poured into the room with the wide open windows, making Azabu Yi, who was wearing an OL outfit, unable to bear it. I shivered.

weather,

It's getting colder.

After all, the Kingdom of Thunder is located at the northern end of the continent, and the cold current from the far north always arrives first in this country of mountains where thunder echoes all year round.

"Mabuyi, go ask Dodai to come over."

The fourth generation Raikage rarely waved the fitness equipment stacked in the corner of the room today. Instead, he sat on the Raikage's throne, frowning and reading the latest information sent by the ANBU. The heavy weight seemed It was the lead-filled atmosphere that made Mabuyi afraid to breathe.

Until the order comes,

Mabuyi hurriedly agreed and hurried out to contact the number one think tank in Yunyin Village.

After receiving the order, Dodai dropped what he was doing and hurried to Lord Raikage's office, wondering what happened?When he arrived at the office, Lord Raikage threw the top-secret document over without saying a word.

"You read it first and then talk after you finish it."

"Yes."

Tutai agreed.

You're welcome,

He stood in front of the table and read the document at a glance. Ai also stood up, walked to the corner of the room, picked up the pair of dumbbells weighing [-] kilograms, and stood in front of the open window, his chest bare. , facing the humid cold wind, he shook the dumbbells in his hands, which weighed a total of two hundred kilograms.

3 minutes passed.

Tutai then closed the document in his hand and took a deep breath. A look of solemnity that was difficult to conceal appeared on his face that was already full of fatigue due to overwork.

"Lord Raikage, I have finished reading."

"Any ideas?"

Ai asked without looking back.

"...I'm so flustered and have no idea at all."

Tudai replied with a wry smile.

"You are like that too!" Ai looked up and looked at the mountains in the distance. However, if someone stood on the opposite side, they would find that his sight had no focus at all. His attention had not been focused on it for decades. On the scenery, "I feel the same as you. After reading this information... my head is empty, and it is still blank now."

Hearing Lord Raikage share his thoughts,

Tutai does not have the ability to relieve worries.

- Reincarnation Eye!

Such things... He didn't know what to say at all. He had nothing to say at all. Things that only existed in the myths of the Six Paths Sage had really appeared in the ninja world, and he didn't feel that the myths had come true. Excitement and curiosity, but endless despair piled up in my heart, making me breathless.

As for the authenticity of the information,

Ai and Tutai's attitudes are surprisingly consistent.

They all had face-to-face contact with the Sixth Generation Hokage. Compared to the two Kages from Iwagakure Village and Sunagakure Village, they did not doubt the authenticity of this piece of information to be verified. Nothing is impossible for a man who can compare with Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara or even surpass these two predecessors.

"It seems that there is no chance in this life to wash away the shame."

Ai said softly.

"...That's not necessarily the case." Todai felt that he could no longer remain silent. The Raikage-sama's tone sounded wrong. If the Raikage-sama was so shocked that he couldn't recover, the current Kumogakure Village would not be able to withstand such a blow.

"No need to say any more words of comfort."

"It's not all words of comfort."

Tutai did not deny that he had comforting thoughts, but he also defended that what he wanted to say still had some real material and was not pure chicken soup. "With the current power of our Yunyin Village, no matter how you look at it, , it is indeed impossible to compare with Konoha, and it is almost impossible to find a chance to wash away the shame of five years ago."

These words bluntly revealed this helpless reality.

But as we all know,

The key point of the rhetoric of suppressing first and then promoting is always in the second half.

"but--"

Dodai paused for a moment, and when he saw Ai turning around, he continued: "If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. Lord Raikage, please don't forget the first ninja war. Konoha at that time It was just like today, but when Senju Hashirama died, our four major ninja villages immediately joined forces to besiege Konoha. If the Iwa ninja and the Kiri ninja had not fought over the loot, they would have even lost money. After entering the Nidaime Tsuchikage and Nidaime Mizukage, the village might no longer be the top five ninja villages now."

"But that also happened after Senju Hashirama died. When Senju Hashirama was alive, no one dared to stand up and say no to Konoha."

"That's true, but as the saying goes, the first one will die first. The Sixth Generation Hokage... Maybe he is truly unbeatable in the ninja world now, but the battlefield is not a ring, and there are no one-on-one rules. ." Dodai licked his lips and originally planned to use the Sandaime Raikage-sama as an example, but after thinking about it he gave up.

He just continued: "If nothing else, that old guy Onoki is not a good person. He will never be happy to see an overly powerful Konoha, and the gang of people in Sunagakure Village have been immersed in development these years. We may have another chance encounter with Konoha in the future, but of course the most important thing is the Akatsuki organization composed of this group of S-class rebellious ninjas."

"From the intelligence point of view, this time the Sixth Hokage personally took action, but still failed to completely annihilate the Akatsuki organization. Perhaps... just like the Senju Hashirama has Uchiha Madara, his lifelong enemy, this Akatsuki organization The organization will also be a pain in the ass for the Sixth Generation Hokage."

Tutai said solemnly.

This sounds somewhat mysterious.

Senju Hashirama has Uchiha Madara, his lifelong enemy, and co-authoring the Akatsuki organization is causing trouble for Uchiha Sozuru?This kind of logic seems ridiculous no matter how you look at it, but... Ai's expression changed after hearing this.

fatalism,

There is a huge market in the ninja world.

Especially in the shinobi world, which has a clear afterlife, fatalism is not completely false to be honest. If you don't care about Uchiha Sozuru as a variable other than fate, Todai's argument is not true at all. Nonsense, but describing a fact.

The chakras of Indra and Asura reincarnate for thousands of years,

It is an excellent example. Although this example has been repeated several times to all living people in the entire ninja world, only Zong Xian knows about it. Of course, it is not clear whether the immortals of the three holy places know about it.

"······call!"

Ai took a deep breath.

"It's ridiculous for me to even expect Uchiha Sogenhir to be defeated at the hands of others..."

"There is nothing shameful about this. Everyone has times when they are confused. As long as you don't go all the way to the dark side, being confused and standing still is a bad thing. It's good to stop and take a breath occasionally." Seizing the opportunity, he began to pour chicken soup into Raikage-sama, this time it was pure chicken soup.

"Humph, Tutai, go look in the mirror first and see the dark circles on your face before you say anything like this."

Ai said angrily.

"Haha! I will take care of Xi again. When Xi really starts training, I can have a good rest." Tutai said with a smile.

matter,

It was suppressed for the time being.

Kumo Hidden Village is still recovering its strength. The last time it lost to Konoha and had its home stolen by Iwa Ninja, it was really debilitating, unless it really happened to meet the right person at the right time. This is a unique opportunity for Kazuya, otherwise, he has no plans to get involved in this excitement for the time being.

Konoha now,

It is no longer the Konoha that would choose to compromise.

----

Foggy Village.

Today, the Godaime Mizukage did not handle official business in her office, nor did she rest at home. Of course, she was not going shopping under the pretext of observing the public sentiment. Instead, she came to Genshi's residence after a long absence to visit this respected old man.

She hasn't been here in person for a long time.

Even if there is a festival, Qing is only sent as an envoy to deliver a gift.

This is not because the Godaime Mizukage disliked the old man for getting in the way. In recent years, Yuanshi has really lived in seclusion. If it was not necessary, he would not have unnecessary contact with the young people in the village and handed over all the power in his hands. The purpose of the Fifth Mizukage was to prevent this current Mizukage from being influenced by his outdated old man's governing philosophy.

Kirigakure Village belongs to young people after all.

An old man like him cannot hold Kirigakure in his hands forever.

The Fifth Mizukage also understood this truth, so she tried her best to avoid contact with the Genshi.

but--

Who made what she encountered today become more trouble than she imagined? She sat in the office and pondered for most of the day. Her mind was so messed up that she couldn't figure it out. She hesitated for a long time. When it was almost time to have dinner, she decided to Come and visit Master Yuan once.

As the saying goes, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.

It's okay to be wary on weekdays, but there is no need to avoid contact with snakes and scorpions at all. The wisdom and experience of the elderly are precious assets of Kirigakure Village, and there is no reason to leave them alone. Of course, when needed It's going to come in handy.

Therefore,

Here she comes.

In this six-square-meter teahouse,

Master Yuan was sitting on his knees on the futon, silently looking at the document in his hand.

Terumi Mei knelt down and sat opposite, holding hot tea in her hand and waiting quietly.

"Reincarnation Eye... Uchiha, is there any connection between the two?" Genshi muttered in a low voice. The voice was so small that only he could hear it, Terumi, who was kneeling opposite him. Ming didn't hear what he said.

"Master Yuan? What do you think about this?"

Seeing Genshi closing the document, Mei Terumi put down the teacup in her hand.

Ask Master Yuan for his opinion.

"Compared to my old opinion, Mizukage-sama, what do you think?" Genshi did not answer Terumi Mei's question, but asked back in his hoarse voice,

"...Konoha is too strong."

Terumi Mei thought about it again and again, and truthfully expressed her opinion.

"and then?"

Master Yuan continued to ask.

"Then..." Terumi Mei paused and said in a deep voice: "I'm worried that if the Sixth Hokage plans to imitate his ancestor and use force to unify the ninja world, where will Kirigakure Village go?" Shinobu is now a loyal ally of Konoha, even going so far as to send the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki to Konoha as messengers, as protons.

but,

There are no permanent allies in this world, only eternal interests.

The alliance with Konoha is because it is beneficial to the Kirigakure, but when the interests of Konoha and the interests of Kirigakure fundamentally conflict, the so-called alliance will no longer have any meaning.

"...Your worries are not unfounded. I have no way of judging whether Konoha intends to change the 60-year-old structure of the ninja world. The advice I can give you is not to be the first to do so, be careful. It is right to be wary, but there is no need to be frightened. Anyway, whether or not there is this Samsara Eye that does not know whether it is true or not, it will not hinder the growth of Konoha Village."

"If Konoha really wants to swallow up our Kirigakure Village, then... I can still make a fire with this old bone."

Master Yuan's attitude is clear.

As long as Konoha does not intend to destroy the country-one-village system, then everything is easy to say, but if you want to cut off the inheritance of Kirigakure Village, then everyone can just start the film. There is no need to talk nonsense, for those who have no children For the Yuanshi of his descendants, the village is everything to him.

"That's exactly what I thought."

Terumi Mei nodded and said.

The village is everything.

In today's era, this is a belief shared by many ninjas.

Except for the Ninja monks of the Fire Temple, most ninjas do not have a precise object of belief. In other words, the village and the shadow are the beliefs of the ninjas. It is extremely common for them to dedicate everything they have to their family and the village. creed.

"Go ahead and do it boldly! Mizukage-sama, you did a great job."

Master Yuan solemnly affirmed Terumi Mei's efforts.

"Thank you for your compliment."

Terumi Mei possessed her body and saluted, but just when she was about to say goodbye and leave, her thoughts changed and she remembered another thing, which was also the message she received today. She hesitated for two seconds and finally said: "That's right. , Genshi, a message came back from Konoha, saying that Konoha seems to be preparing to hold an unprecedented chunin exam, and is planning to invite all ninja villages in the ninja world to participate."

"The Chunin Exam?"

The corners of Master Yuan's eyes moved slightly.

"Invite all ninja villages to participate?"

"Yes, and it is said that Konoha is also planning to invite the leaders of each village to attend." Because only the leaders of the five great ninja villages are qualified to be called 'shadows', Terumi Mei uses the word leader here uniformly. "But Bubble also said that this was a rumor he had heard, and it may not actually happen."

"...This is a larger Five Shadows Conference!"

Genshi completely ignored the second half of Terumi Mei's words and already considered this matter as something that was bound to happen.

"Konoha... No, the Sixth Hokage is really ambitious. This matter... Mizukage-sama, please be cautious when the time comes. This matter... is absolutely It won't just be as simple as an exam, the Sixth Generation Hokage may have great ambitions."

Master Yuan frowned deeply at this moment.

Although he no longer has eyebrows, the layers of wrinkles on his forehead also show that he is uneasy in his heart.

"I'll pay attention."

Terumi Mei didn't say anything more that this might not happen. She didn't need anyone to remind her of the truth of "Don't be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what might happen". Moreover, she still believed in Master Yuan's sense of smell and judgment. If that hadn't been the case, today She wouldn't be here anymore.

only--

This ninja world really can't live in peace for a long time!
