Chapter 98 Konoha is doomed to defeat
Kumogakure, Raikage's office.
"Tsunade of Konoha, what a legendary Sannin!"
Ai's chest heaved, and blue arcs of electricity flickered across his body as he was thoroughly enraged.
"Not only did you launch a surprise attack on my frontline fortress, but you also annihilated my frontline troops in one fell swoop! Tsunade, you deserve to die!"
The border skirmishes between Kumogakure and Konoha have remained relatively minor and have not escalated into a full-scale war.
Their strategy towards the Land of Fire was to gradually erode and expand their territory with small groups of troops.
Despite the ongoing friction, it cannot be said that they broke the agreement or started a war.
As a result, our well-equipped and powerful Hidden Cloud Village did not launch a war, but your demoralized Leaf Village, instead of showing martial virtue, launched a sneak attack.
Do they really think that with just one legendary Sannin, they can challenge the de facto dominance of Kumogakure?
Do you even know who the mastermind behind this war is?
"Immediately mobilize the ninja forces. I will make sure Tsunade never returns!" The Fourth Raikage's eyes gleamed with malice.
"It's time to let everyone know who the strongest ninja village in the ninja world is!"
"Lord Raikage, there is secret information about Konoha." At that moment, a ninja came to report.
Behind him were high-ranking members of the Cloud Village who had received the intelligence.
"The intelligence indicates that the Third Hokage has mobilized Konoha's Anbu, Root organization, Hyuga assassination squad, and Uchiha security forces—"
"Besides the Third Hokage presiding over Konoha, Konoha has deployed all its elite forces this time."
"Besides Tsunade, there are also Fugaku Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, and a three-tomoe Uchiha who has mastered Storm Release. Their high-end combat strength is astonishing."
"The enemy's intentions are not good. It's not too late to make full preparations to fight them after we confirm their ninjutsu information."
"Hmph!"
Ai scoffed dismissively, "She's just Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin. As the Fourth Raikage, why would I be afraid of her!"
"If Minato Namikaze were still alive, I would still fear Konoha to some extent, but Minato and his wife are dead. There is no ninja in the entire village who can stop me!"
The Fourth Raikage, A, is currently at his peak.
The perfect Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails can transform into a Tailed Beast at any time, and his combat power far exceeds that of an ordinary Kage.
Although the Two-Tails Matatabi is still sealed, it has begun to search for a new host and could become a Kage-level fighter at any time.
Darui, the Raikage's bodyguard, is the Third Raikage's personal disciple. He has mastered the Storm Release Kekkei Genkai and will become the Fifth Raikage in the future.
At this time, on paper, no other ninja village could rival the Hidden Cloud Village.
Konoha may have the title of the number one ninja village, but its low, medium, and high-level combat strength has long been surpassed by Kumogakure.
Some offered a conservative suggestion: "A three-tomoe ninja is already comparable to an elite Jonin, and with the addition of Storm Release and the Raikage, it's better to wait until we verify the intelligence before deploying troops!"
Some high-ranking members of the Hidden Cloud Village objected: "Then we should send troops even faster. This is the best opportunity for our Hidden Cloud Village to seize the Sharingan."
"Yes, Raikage-sama, Fugaku with the Fierce Eyes and Shisui with the Body Flicker are not to be underestimated. With them present, the Jinchuriki will be greatly restrained. Don't forget that even the Nine-Tails could be controlled by the Uchiha. The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki cannot be lost."
"But Konoha didn't have any Jinchuriki present in this war, which makes the situation more favorable for us."
The high-ranking officials of Yunyin expressed their opinions one after another. Many advocated for war, while many others advocated for a protracted war. However, there was no one who was afraid of or cowardly about fighting.
They believed they had a sure victory in this war.
It's as if Kumogakure is the number one ninja village, and defeating Konoha is only a matter of time.
"Alright, stop arguing. Just follow Lord Raikage's orders."
A respected high-ranking member of the Cloud Village spoke up, looking at the Raikage A, and gave his final advice: "A, the Uchiha and Hyuga main clans are both on the border. If you can obtain both of the great bloodline limits in one fell swoop, then no one will be able to stop you from leading the Cloud Village to conquer the Land of Fire and dominate the ninja world."
Upon hearing this, Ai's body crackled with electricity, unleashing a tangible burst of chakra light, like a king who controlled lightning.
"The weak are destined to be crushed! This is an inescapable truth in the ninja world!"
He glanced around, and the lightning chakra around him began to sway, a sight that was awe-inspiring.
"Pass on my orders! All mobile units rush to the border at full speed. I will not only ensure Tsunade's death, but I will also make Konoha pay the price for its unauthorized war!"
"Just wait, I will kill Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi and bring back Konoha's bloodline limit."
In Ai's view, the Hidden Cloud Village's annexation of the Land of Fire's land did not violate the ceasefire agreement signed with Minato Namikaze.
It is only natural for the strong to bully the weak.
But now that Konoha has launched a war and even attacked the Cloud Village fortress, he no longer needs to care about the agreement with Minato and can launch a full-scale attack on Konoha.
After saying that, he rushed out of Lei Ying's office and sped off towards Yunlei Gorge.
Killer Bee, the perfect Jinchūriki, is training there.
With the two of them working together, they can go anywhere in the vast ninja world.
The Fourth Raikage rushes to the front lines to confront the Hokage candidate!
When Miyo's war intentions were exposed, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure received the intelligence immediately and quickly learned that the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki were heading to the front lines.
"Konoha has launched a war against Kumogakure. When two tigers fight, one will surely be injured. This may be an opportunity for Sunagakure."
"Uchiha Kazuhiko, Three Tomoe and Storm Release: Black Lightning — Interesting, it seems that Konoha is not entirely unprepared."
"Sharingan, Hyuga main family, medical genius—if the Raikage can truly achieve his strategic goals, no one in Kumogakure will be able to stop him. At that time, our Sunagakure will no longer need to cause trouble for Konoha."
"The Fourth Raikage and his perfect Jinchuriki work together seamlessly. Without the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Konoha is doomed to defeat!"
-
"Yes, without a Jinchuriki and Minato Namikaze, how could Hiruzen Sarutobi dare to challenge the young and powerful Fourth Raikage! Tsunade is strong, but she would never be a match for the Raikage brothers."
"A perfect Jinchūriki cannot be defeated by sheer numbers."
"...
—
The war between Konoha and Kumogakure instantly became a trending topic in the ninja world, dominating the intelligence organizations of all ninja villages.
All the ninja villages that had access to detailed intelligence were optimistic about Kumogakure.
Even small ninja villages without intelligence sources are optimistic about Kumogakure.
A perfect Jinchūriki is an invincible existence in an era when Hashirama is dead and the Mangekyou Sharingan has disappeared.
Once the Tailed Beasts are transformed, a single large Tailed Beast Ball can decide the outcome of a war.
What can Konoha use to fight Kumogakure?
Do you really think everyone can be like Minato Namikaze, able to dodge Tailed Beast Balls on a large scale and go home whenever they want?
Time passed day by day.
Konoha ninjas crossed the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Frost, continuously gathering at the border of the Land of Lightning, and methodically setting up defensive lines around the fortress according to the battle plan.
Meanwhile, the Cloud Village side contracted its defenses and temporarily relinquished control of the Land of Lightning's borders.
This resulted in a mixed bag of people along the border, with countless ninjas from various ninja villages gathering war intelligence.
Three days later, a large number of elite troops from the Hidden Cloud Village arrived at the front line.
The Fourth Raikage and the Perfect Jinchuriki have arrived!
War is imminent.
