Chapter 830: Be More Cautious!
Approximately one week later. Jonin Dodai finally led the nearly one thousand ninja, exhausted in both body and mind, back to the Cloud Hidden Village in the Land of Lightning.
Heaven knows how difficult their journey was along this sea route, which required bypassing more than half of the Ninja World's coastline.
The lack of water and food was manageable; with the enthusiastic contributions from the Land of Tea along the way, they had just enough. However, once night fell, ninja from various sides would always harass them. As a result, a few people went missing almost every day.
This made it impossible for them to sleep. Furthermore, on the vast and turbulent sea, the climate was also a big problem; if it worsened even slightly, the sea waves would become very troublesome.
When Lord Third Raikage led them before, why didn't it feel this difficult?
[Bang!!] The high-quality office desk was smashed by a punch, and even the ground was violently shaken, producing fine cracks.
"This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Ay, the son of the Third Raikage, less than twenty-five years old this year, was in his prime youth. Compared to his father, who had learned some restraint due to old age, his temper was much more volatile.
As soon as he heard the news that Tsuchidai brought back, he was first in disbelief, followed by an uncontrollable surge of rage erupting in his heart.
"My Dad is invincible in the Ninja World!"
"He's always been the one to crush others, how could he possibly be defeated by someone else, and even capture alive!"
Tsuchidai and the others in the Raikage office were all silent for a moment. They also found this matter unbelievable. Even though Tsuchidai had experienced it firsthand, he still had a sense of unreality.
He even had a slight speculation in his heart: was it possible that he had fallen under genjutsu?
But this was just self-comfort.
"Brothers, calm down, gotta think 'bout what to do now, yo, brothers!" Killer B, who was not yet an adult but already 1.7 meters tall, wore black glasses on his face and reminded them with a rap rhythm and hand signals.
"I know, B." Ay's emotions calmed down. Looking at his little brother, he said, "We have to find a method to rescue Dad!"
"No problem, brothers, we'll go together, brothers~" Killer B agreed without hesitation.
"Huh?!" But Jonin Dodai and the surrounding few Jonin all had a great change in expression. They thought Ay wanted to go to the Land of Wind, which would make the situation uncontrollable.
Speaking of which, the Cloud Hidden Village is the only ninja village among the Five Great Nations that doesn't have elders.
It's more similar to a gang style.
Ay glanced at Tsuchidai and others, and said in a deep voice, "I know what you want to say. Don't worry, I have no intention of going to the Land of Wind. After all, even Dad wasn't an opponent, so there's no use in me going."
"Phew----" Tsuchidai and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, they were surprised that the other party could maintain such rationality in his great rage, as if he had suddenly become steady.
"Then what are you planning?"
"I will station five thousand troops along the border of the Land of Fire, demanding an explanation from them. At the same time, I will contact the Stone Village in the Land of Earth and Kirigakure in the Land of Water to discuss suppressing the Land of Wind with them!"
Ay's fierce gaze looked out the window at the dark clouds and towering mountain peaks.
The rumbling sound faintly coming from the clouds seemed to indicate that another thunderstorm was coming soon.
But the Cloud Hidden Village is different from the Rain Hidden Village.
Every time after a heavy rain, they would welcome excellent weather. When that time comes, the sky will be clear and the blue will be like a wash, and he believes that all the matters will get better like this.
Because their Cloud Hidden Village has enough strength!
"Good idea. Regardless of whether those people are Konoha ninja or not, Konoha must provide an explanation. As for Sunagakure, other ninja villages definitely don't want to see them have such a powerhouse..."
Jonin Dodai nodded repeatedly in thought.
"Even Kirigakure, which is the furthest from the Land of Wind, would likely be interested in those long-barreled firearms capable of rapid-fire, as well as the pill-shaped high-power explosives."
Compared to pistols, this kind of weapon can already pose a significant threat to ninja.
In that case, if Kirigakure doesn't find a method to obtain samples and then gain manufacturing ability, then when other Great Nations have them and they don't, they will inevitably fall into a passive state.
Therefore, Kirigakure definitely cannot continue to watch from the sidelines this time.
"B, your next mission is to go to Cloud-Lightning Gorge and practice the Tailed Beast Bomb. Master its use as quickly as possible!" At this moment, Ay seemed to think of something else and looked at Killer B very seriously.
"Now that Dad isn't here, other ninja villages might invade us. At that time, I need you to continuously release Tailed Beast Bombs from the back to defeat them, and I will absolutely not let the enemy get close to you!"
"But... my Lariat isn't finished yet..."
"Your Lariat ends here. Listen well, you are not allowed to leave the village one step from now on, understand?!" Ay shouted angrily.
The Cloud Hidden Village must now rely on a mature Jinchuriki, which is the strength of the Tailed Beast, to stabilize the situation.
Although there is still the Two-Tails in the village, they haven't found a suitable Jinchuriki yet, so for now, they can only rely on Killer B to guard the village.
Even if he leaves the village himself, he cannot let Killer B go out.
"Alright, brothers, I understand!"
Killer B didn't say anything more. He turned around and left directly, preparing to go to Cloud-Lightning Gorge to start practicing the Tailed Beast Bomb, even though a thunderstorm was about to start outside.
Because he could feel his Big Brother's anxious and unease mood.
Since that's the case.
Then he will race against time to do what he can, and help his Big Brother as much as possible!
On the other side. Inside Konohagakure in the Land of Fire.
The current Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was nearing fifty years old, wore a Hokage Hat on his head and a white Hokage Robe, looking troubled at the various intelligence reports and letters sent by the Kage of other ninja villages on his office desk.
Standing before him were his three Old Partners, Shimura Danzō, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane.
"Alright, it's been a few days since we got the intelligence. You should have a decision in your heart by now, Hiruzen," Danzō said expressionlessly.
"What other decision could there be? Just tell them the situation in detail. As for whether they believe it or not, that's up to them," the Third Hokage picked up his pipe and took a puff.
"You know I'm not asking about that." A few ripples appeared in Danzō's originally calm gaze. "Those firearms and explosives are good things, and we need more intelligence about that Giant Powerhouse."
"Haven't you already dispatched people to investigate these? Why are you asking me?" The Third Hokage glanced at the other party while smoking. Furthermore, he had actually already dispatched three Anbu teams to the Land of Wind long ago.
"My meaning is to send people to contact Cloud Hidden, Stone Hidden, and Hidden Mist to form a Four-Country Allied Forces to apply pressure on the Land of Wind!" Danzō said very forcefully.
"Hey, but haven't you thought about it? Easily defeating a Cloud Hidden Great Army of over three thousand, and then capturing alive the Third Raikage, what level of strength is that?" The Third Hokage paused with the pipe in his hand, his gaze fixed deeply on Danzō's eyes.
"Do you think our teacher could do that?"
"This..." Danzō was startled in his heart. He opened his mouth, unsure how to answer. Could their teacher, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, do these things?
He instantly had the answer in his heart.
After all, if he could do that, it would have been impossible for him to be killed by Kinkaku and Ginkaku, who were leading twenty Jonin.
The number of Jonin in that Cloud Hidden Great Army of over three thousand would definitely not be less than that number, plus the Third Raikage who easily defeated Shiki.
"Your meaning is..." Koharu Utatane came back to her senses, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi with an expression of astonishment. Homura Mitokado's expression beside her was identical.
"My meaning is that it's better to be more cautious."
(Author's note: Hey everyone, how's this Ninja World arc so far? Is it okay? If it's not good, I'll take a few days off to sort out my thoughts.)
