late at night.

The Land of Thunder, Hidden Cloud Village, Raikage Office.

Bright lights circulated in it, and several figures were sitting inside.

"........., the above is the message sent back by the companions who were stationed in the Kingdom of Water."

Azabui, who was surrounded by several folders, opened them one by one and told the information in his hands. His clean and concise voice was full of the most objective attitude.

She is the secretary of the Fourth Raikage and the think tank of Raikage Village. Not only is she calm-minded and full of wisdom, but she also possesses Jonin-level strength!

"It is speculated that Uchiha Ara, who was demanded by Kirigakure Village, holds quite a lot of secrets, which is why the Fourth Mizukage was so persistent that he even hesitated to start a full-scale war."

After coming to a conclusion, he took a few steps back and left the center of the conference room, standing gracefully next to Raikage Ai.

She has short white ear-length hair and dark skin. Just standing aside, people can't help but admire her for her ability.

"Uchiha Ara?"

"Is an eleven-year-old kid worthy of being treated with all his strength by Goju Yagura?"

Looking at the report in his hand, Ai's everlasting serious face could not help but frown slightly.

"It is said that the current leader of the Uchiha clan is that little guy."

"Recently, he has defeated dozens of Sarutobi clan elites, including Sarutobi Asuma."

"The Kirigakure Village officially began to urgently ask Konoha for Uchiha Ara, and that's when it started."

Nozomi put down the report in his hand, his handsome cheeks frowning slightly. He obviously didn't understand why the dignified "Yin" of Kirigakure Village was so obsessed with a young junior.

And launching a full-scale war against Konoha at this period is simply irrational. Do you want to imitate what Kumogakure Village once did?

This is not a time of war, not to mention that Konoha has long been fully recuperated. Even in wartime, that force is not a soft persimmon that can be easily pinched like Kusagakure Village.

Could the Yondaime Mizukage be so stupid?

Such a conclusion is really hard to convince. After all, a being who can sit in the position of 'shadow' is definitely not an ordinary person.

But if ‘foolishness’ is abandoned, then...

Then only interests can explain all this!

A huge benefit that can equal the battle losses, no, should far exceed the battle losses!!

"What the Fourth Mizukage wants is definitely more than just the Sharingan, and it's more than just the secrets of the Uchiha clan. There must be a greater temptation to tempt him!"

Nozomi, who has short blond hair, spoke out again.

He is an all-round "grown" elite jounin in the Hidden Cloud Village. He has good combat power in ninjutsu, taijutsu, illusion, perception, and medical ninjutsu, and he also has a handsome face.

and a cool head.

Known as the 'left hand' of the Fourth Raikage.

"If it's about the Uchiha clan..."

This statement also reminded Mabuyi who was standing aside. She immediately opened the folder in her hand while muttering, and quickly flipped through the pages of documents with her long fingers.

"found it."

After muttering unconsciously, she quickly pulled out the page where her fingers were resting, and placed it respectfully in front of the Raikage-sama's desk, and then continued:

"The Kirigakure Village really started asking Konohagakure for Uchiha Ara more than a year ago, after a major civil strife broke out in the Uchiha clan."

"At that time, Iwagakure also asked Konohagakure for Uchiha Ara. The reason should be that the Iwagakure legion stationed at the border of the Land of Fire was suspected to have been completely wiped out by the former."

Mabuyi calmly described the reasons.

However, contrary to this calmness, after hearing such news, almost all the participants at the meeting burst out in unison and exclaimed: "Total annihilation?"

Even Samui, who had always been cold and taciturn, and Darui, who had a lazy personality, both looked slightly moved and looked at Mabuyi suspiciously.

You must know that the wording used by the opponent is not a single person, a small team, or a large group, but the word "legion"!

This means that there are at least more than a hundred participants!

This is enough to fight a small-scale local war!!

But, they were all wiped out by one person?

And how old was the little guy named Uchiha Ara a year ago?

The most important thing is, how could they not have any impression of such shocking news?

"calm!"

Just when the atmosphere of consternation was spreading throughout the office, Raikage Ai suddenly spoke out, and that powerful and unintimidating voice easily dispelled the panic rising in everyone's hearts.

"This is just speculation. After all, there is no evidence to prove that the victory in that battle was created by Uchiha Araichi."

"There is no official announcement from Iwagakure."

Ai is aware of this matter.

However, just like Onoki who suffered from being mute, he did not take the initiative to publicize it.

Because this is so ridiculous.

A ten-year-old boy pushed away hundreds of Iwagakure ninjas. Is this telling a magical story?

What's more, publicizing it will not do any good to Yunyin Village. Instead, it will cause a certain restless 'little octopus' to go out and stir up trouble.

But now, combined with the attitude of Kirigakure Village, the destruction of Iwagakure Legion may have a lot to do with that kid.

But even so......

"What's more, is it difficult to destroy an Iwagakure legion?"

"Those hypocrites who only know how to use genin and the lives of ordinary tribesmen to fill the war holes, and call it the 'Will of Stone', is there anything to be surprised about? It's ridiculous."

"Have you forgotten how the Sandaime fought one against ten thousand?"

Ai's words and expressions were filled with contempt and disdain for Iwagakure.

Hearing this, the expressions of several people present calmed down a little.

The style and combat power of Yanyin Village are indeed a bit unflattering. As long as a few hidden traps are set up at the border, it is enough to cause the loss of most of the low-end group armies.

Such a result is indeed not comparable to the Sandaime-sama's posture of one against ten thousand.

"You keep talking."

Ai said after noticing that several people at the meeting had calmed down the restlessness in their hearts.

At the same time, his eyes also fell on the document handed over by Mabuyi.

What is really troublesome, no, what makes me feel a little scared, is the existence of the previous period in which the book is written.

"yes."

"Lord Raikage."

After responding succinctly and succinctly, Mabuyi continued:

"At that time, faced with the demands of two equal forces, coupled with the loss of high-end combat power like the Uchiha clan, Konoha could not easily avoid the issue of handing over Uchiha Ara."

"However, after the Sandaime Hokage's negotiation, the stubborn Onoki gave up the demand first! Then the lonely Kirigakure Village gradually let the matter go."

Hearing this, a look of astonishment appeared on the faces of everyone in the gathering. It was simply unimaginable to make that smelly and hard-bodied Sandaime Tsuchikage give up his pursuit!

Especially under the premise that Iwagakure lost a legion!!

What was the reason that made the stubborn Ohnoki compromise?

"At that time, Konoha also sent a letter, asking us to pay attention to a new mercenary organization, Akatsuki!"

"The traitor of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Itachi, was also bewitched and taken away by that organization."

"And Akatsuki's ultimate goal is to resurrect the legendary ninja Madara Uchiha!"

Even as calm as Mabuyi, her nerves trembled slightly when she mentioned this taboo name.

"What?"

"Impossible! That existed in the previous period!!"

"..."

Suddenly, the entire Raikage's office became restless and noisy.

If that existence reappeared, what kind of changes would it bring to the ninja world?

This time, Leiying Ai did not stop everyone from marveling, but said slowly:

"I didn't believe it at first. I just regarded this message as Konoha's usual trick to divert attention."

"However, according to the information sent back by the ANBU, there is indeed an organization called Akatsuki operating in some small countries in recent days, and the members that have been detected include not only Konoha traitor ninja, but also the former genius of the Uchiha clan Itachi, and even Ohnoki

His disciple Deidara also joined in."

"The Qixiao organization is located in the Kingdom of Water among the five major countries, and has the most activities."

"Based on all the current information, as well as the fact that Kirigakure Village is urgently seeking the current leader of the Uchiha clan, perhaps the Akatsuki organization has reached some kind of agreement with the 'shadow' from Kirigakure Village."
