Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"Okay, then I'll make some notes for you now. Your employer wants you to arrive at the meeting point within one day. This mission is estimated to take three days in total."

"OK, I understand."

If an ordinary person were to talk so long-windedly, Jiaodu would definitely ignore him.

But after all, the person who was speaking was the staff of the gold exchange who was responsible for settling his salary, so his attitude was still very good.

"Then I'll leave it to you, our ace bounty hunter."

The staff at the gold exchange bowed slightly, then watched Kakuzu go away.

Two days later, in the territory of the Land of Thunder.

This is a country of tall mountains and deafening thunder.

The ninja village here is called the Hidden Cloud Village.

The biggest difference between the Hidden Cloud Village and other countries is that their leader, the Raikage, is basically a powerful man who was determined long ago.

All resources will be focused on the Raikage and his successor first.

There had also been Raikages who generously shared their resources with everyone for use.

That was the second Raikage. He successfully trained the Kinkaku and Silver Kaku troops, and then he defeated himself...

By the way, he also successfully took away the Second Mizukage's fantasy of forming an alliance between the two countries.

However, after the Second Raikage, the newly appointed Third Raikage brought the Hidden Cloud Village to a new height.

The strongest shield and the strongest spear, as well as that bold and unruly appearance, coupled with the powerful talents of the new AB combination, anyone can see that this generation of the Hidden Cloud Village is simply terrifyingly strong!

However, due to his arrogance brought by his power, the Third Raikage automatically ignored many things that were wrong when he saw the letter of alliance sent by Ōnoki, and he happily set off with his visiting team.

"What kind of country is the Land of Earth?"

The still young Ai asked curiously.

"Hahahaha! You'll know when you get there. It's probably as tacky as its name!"

The Third Raikage laughed loudly, picked up the wine jug next to him and gulped down a big gulp of wine.

"It's really delicious! You have to drink it sparingly. If you finish it, you probably won't be able to drink such delicious wine for several days!"

When he wiped his mouth, there was no sign of drunkenness in his eyes, and his bronze skin did not reveal whether his face was red from drunkenness.

As the Raikage, he can drink a lot!

"Even though I don't like that little old man Ohnoki, that sinister guy did a really good job this time!"

The Third Raikage said leisurely: "Konoha... is a little too strong!"

The war between the Fire Nation and the Wind Nation was watched by other countries.

This naturally includes the Kingdom of Thunder.

They actually had some conflicts with the Water Kingdom at the beginning.

But when the war between the Fire Nation and the Wind Nation ended quickly, the conflict between the two countries also subsided.

Because they realize that now is not the time to fight each other.

The more powerful Konoha is still standing there!

The one that is particularly feared among them is the Kingdom of Thunder.

Because the Second Generation Hokage died on the land of Lightning!

Although that was because of the rebellion of Jinjiao and Yinjiao, Jinjiao and Yinjiao had already been defeated and executed.

However, the Konoha ninjas who came to seek explanation were rudely driven back by the Cloud ninjas and sneered at.

The feud between the two countries was thus formed.

Therefore, when Konoha showed great strength, Kumogakure could no longer sit still.

But they are between two countries, the Land of Earth and the Land of Water.

The Water Kingdom is fine, as it is a country with most of its territory on islands. It is obviously impossible for it to invade the territory of the Thunder Kingdom, which is full of mountains and thunder.

In history, there was a Mizukage who didn't believe in evil, and then he was electrocuted after entering...

But the Rock Country is a little different.

Not only does it have a strong military force, but it also has resources that are almost the same as those of the Thunder Kingdom.

There is also an extremely sinister and cunning Tsuchikage - Ohnoki!

Even the Third Raikage found this old guy annoying.

However, because he was confident that he had the strongest shield and the strongest spear, he did not think much of Ōnoki.

This is also the reason why he chose to participate in this negotiation.

"Yo~ Yo~ The recent performance of Konoha Village in battle is indeed very strong, and the Sand Village is not very strong either. They have only been fighting for a few days, but they have been defeated miserably, with countless casualties. They are completely inferior to our Cloud Village and yet they come out to embarrass themselves!"

Kirabi, who loves rap, rapped and danced at the same time, making the people around him sweat profusely.

"Qirabi, please stop talking during the negotiation..."

The Third Raikage hesitated to speak.

"I understand~ I understand~ I'll shut up if you need me to. I'm not that kind of idiot. Otherwise, you would think~"

"enough."

"what!"

Ai's brother's powerful elbow finally ended Kirabi's rap performance.

"We'll soon reach the Land of Earth."

"Come on, don't lose face."

"Yes."

The silent, boundless ochre-colored earth and the rolling mountains are about to meet under the gloomy sky.

At the scheduled negotiation location.

Ohnoki, who arrived early, was confirming his arrangements.

The third Raikage is very powerful and is currently recognized as the strongest Kage-level powerhouse. He is extremely difficult to deal with!

but……

No matter how strong a person is, he has weaknesses!

Ōnoki is very afraid of Konoha, but he also understands Konoha very well and is very good at analyzing the situation.

Konoha Village now occupies the best piece of land on the continent, so what they need to do is to protect it, not to fight.

Therefore, he had enough time to prepare without having to worry about being actively attacked by Konoha.

But the neighbors on the other side are different...

The Land of Thunder, a country where the people are warlike and violent.

Their offensiveness and aggressiveness are both top notch!

If he launched an attack on Konoha, Ohnoki believed that those idiots whose brains were full of muscles would definitely kick his ass from behind!

What's more, the current Third Raikage is still a very difficult person to deal with, which makes him even more wary.

It's like there's a lion in front and a hyena behind...

Ōnoki decided to deal with the hyenas behind first to prevent the chrysanthemums from blooming.

What prompted him to make up his mind was a piece of information about the Third Raikage's weakness.

"Remember everything when the time comes. Hit him hard on the wound on his chest caused by the Eight-Tails!"

"Don't hold back, beat them to death!"

Ohnoki rose to the highest point, took a megaphone, and made his voice heard.

"Oooo!"

"Understood! Tsuchikage-sama!"

The Rock Ninjas responded one after another with great enthusiasm.

They were all very excited; this was a big deal!

Surround and kill the opponent's shadow-level strongman!

Under Ohnoki's propaganda, these Iwagakure ninjas have ignored their fear and their minds are filled with the only belief of killing the Third Raikage!

This frenetic state also made them ignore the few uninvited guests who had sneaked into the team.

"Oooo!"

Rope Tree raised his arms and howled as excitedly as the people next to him.

And Toru Ito, Shisui, Shizune, and the masked Danzo were like emotionless tools, mechanically raising and putting their hands down.
