Naruto: I didn't say this is the real Hokage.

"I found something very strange... There is not even a senior ninja in our team this time."

"You just realized it, idiot?! I heard that all the senior ninjas were summoned by the Fourth Raikage to complete more important tasks, so we are the only ones who will launch an attack on the Iron Kingdom later."

"Ah? How could we possibly..."

"Shut up, there are reasons for the arrangements above, we just need to execute them...

Even if you don't believe the people above, you should believe our respected Raikage~

He will protect us!"

The Fourth Raikage Ai was a truly golden name in the hearts of the ninjas in the Hidden Cloud Village. When they heard someone mention his name, the discussion in the team stopped instantly...

That’s right, their Lord Raikage will definitely protect them!

With this firm belief in mind, a group of Genin and Chunin from the Hidden Cloud Village marched towards the walls of the Iron Kingdom in the morning glow with high spirits.

After they left, the Fourth Raikage Ai, whom they regarded as their faith, quietly appeared.

"Fourth Raikage, have you really thought about what to do?

You know, they are also..."

"Ma Buyi, do you know why our operations have been failing recently?"

Ai raised his hand to interrupt Ma Buyi's words. He knew what the young secretary wanted to say to him.

“I thought about this all night last night and finally figured out the problem.

The reason we failed is... I protected them too well.

As a result, these people not only lost their due fighting capacity, but also became a burden to us.

I think the system in the village should be changed - from now on I will never lend a helping hand to any of my men;

Only ninjas who have survived all the blood and fire on the battlefield are worthy of living a stable life in my village."

"Yes, but..."

The look of pity in Ma Buyi's eyes became more and more serious.

She didn't know what had caused the Fourth Raikage Ai to have such a terrible idea, but if she really let Ai do this...

What's the difference between this and Ai, the Raikage, personally creating a brand new "Blood Mist Village"? !

That road that was abandoned even by the Hidden Mist Village that founded the "Street of Blood Mist"...is it really suitable for the Hidden Cloud Village today?

At this moment, Ma Buyi had so many questions she wanted to ask, but Ai did not give her the chance to speak.

"Alright Mabui, thank you for going to the front line and keeping an eye on the battle situation... When necessary, I will lead the Jonin troops to go out."

The Fourth Raikage Ai made the final decision, then turned around and left without caring about Mabui's reaction.

……

[There are only Genin and Chunin, so Ai is thinking of using these people as...cannon fodder? ]

The moment Naruto saw the appearance of the Hidden Cloud Village Ninja Army, he immediately understood Ai's thoughts.

Looking at the determination emanating from the bones of the group of ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village in the distance, Naruto couldn't help but mourn for them silently in his heart.

A loyal person ends up dying from the betrayal of the person he is loyal to?

Isn't this also a sad tragedy?

But the good thing is...

The person who stopped them here today was Uzumaki Naruto, and he had no intention of letting these people die here.

[I wonder what these people will think after they understand the sinister intentions of their most respected Fourth Raikage-sama...

Can they still be united with the Fourth Raikage Ai like before?

I’m very curious about this…】

A sarcastic smile quietly appeared on Naruto's lips.

It seems that my plan for later...I might need to adjust it a little.

……

"An enemy is spotted ahead... one?!"

The ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village who was walking in the front to investigate was obviously a little surprised.

He never thought that in the face of an attack from these people, the Iron Country would only send out a child who looked only in his teens to fight.

But he soon realized something was wrong, because the child who was blocking the road ahead, his appearance and clothes...

"It's Uzumaki Naruto! The enemy blocking the way is Uzumaki Naruto from the Akatsuki organization!"

The tragic defeat of the Hidden Rain Village was still fresh in their minds, as was the frenzied massacre launched against them by Uchiha Fugaku yesterday;

And facing Naruto who appeared at the scene twice...

Even though the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village had forgotten that most of them had died once at the hands of Naruto;

But when I saw Naruto standing there smiling in a red cloud and black robe...

The ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village couldn't help but shudder from the depths of their souls.

Didn't he say that he and Uchiha Fugaku had already left the Land of Iron?

Then who is appearing in front of them at this moment?

A lingering ghost?!

No, not a ghost!

It should be said...the devil!

In the minds of these Cloud Village ninjas, the image of every Akatsuki member dressed in red clouds and black robes has long been distorted and transformed into evil spirits crawling out of hell!

Every time we run into bastards wearing these clothes, they always end up with casualties...

Fuck! (╯°Д°)╯︵ ┻━┻!!!

Now they just want to drag out those idiots who tried to gather information yesterday and execute them on the spot!

……

[Oh no, why is Uzumaki Naruto still here? !

This matter must be passed on immediately... eh? ! 】

Ma Buyi, who was following far behind the Hidden Cloud Village troops, only felt her eyes blurred, and the next moment she was at the front of the team.

Naruto's hand tightly gripped her neck, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Naruto: n_n~

"It's been a long time since I last saw you, Miss Secretary.

It seems not very polite for you to turn around and leave as soon as you meet me.

But don't worry, I won't do anything to you...

Thank you for your trouble. Now go and tell Ai that I am waiting for him here."

Mabui: (ー ー゛)…

To be honest, if Naruto hadn't suddenly grabbed her... she would have run to Ai long ago.

Naruto released his hand that was strangling Ma Buyi's neck. Ma Buyi glanced at him quickly and immediately rushed towards the camp behind the Hidden Cloud Village.

After Mabui left, Naruto turned around and looked at the group of ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village and smiled.

"Let's make a bet on what your Raikage will do when he finds out I'm here:

If he orders you to retreat immediately and come here with your men immediately, I will kill only half of you;

If he orders you to attack me... then I will let you go safely.

how is it? "

The Hidden Cloud Village Ninjas: (“▔□▔)?!!

Suddenly a breeze blew by, singing in the wind...

All that was Naruto's devilish whisper.

"So from now on... the gambling begins."
