Chapter 193 The Third Raikage Couldn't Hold Back Anymore!
The calm before the storm did not last long.
Yuuki sat in the minister's office, analyzing ways to break through the chakra restriction and surpass Kage level.
Eliminate unreliable methods.
Eliminate unexpected energy from the system to aid in breakthroughs.
Combine similar terms.
There are roughly three approaches.
Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, external forces intervene, and the bloodline is traced back.
The first method involves accumulating and storing a large amount of chakra through forbidden or secret techniques, then rapidly fusing it to forcibly break through the confinement.
The second method is to break through with the help of external forces, such as tailed beasts, the power of the Six Paths, or 'golden' insects.
The third method is to return to the origin, awaken the 'six bloodlines' that may exist within the body, and break through to the ancestral level.
Although the system is very likely to provide a suitable breakthrough method, Yuuki does not intend to put all his eggs in one basket.
Three approaches, working together for common development!
He's so eager to improve!
Yuuki put down the scroll and switched his view.
The letter, disguised as a letter from the Root, was delivered to the Castle of a Thousand Hands; Yang had already seen the scroll.
The content is very simple.
The rope tree may be under attack.
They requested that Yang cooperate with Konoha Village to provide protection.
Yuki exclaimed, "Shimura Danzo is really small in stature but has great ambitions; he's gone to great lengths."
"While plotting against Rope Tree, they also took the opportunity to dig a pit for Thousand Hands Castle."
In the Thousand Hands City, only Yang, the parasitic beast, has reached the level of a Jonin.
Even among the wandering ninja clans who choose to join the Senju Castle, it's rare for a single clan to produce a Jonin.
Not to mention the rogue ninja groups.
Most rogue ninjas at the Jonin level are unruly and rebellious.
Why would I seek refuge in a mere castle of a thousand hands?
At this time, the secret service visited the police department.
Orochimaru, please meet with Yuuki.
The Hokage's office building.
Orochimaru made no attempt to hide his presence, sitting in the Hokage's designated seat.
Yuuki pushed open the door and entered.
"Minister Orochimaru, what an imposing air of authority!"
"Hiss." Orochimaru chuckled hoarsely, stroking the Hokage throne, his eyes blazing with fervor: "How could I possibly disappoint the old man's expectations?"
"So?" Yuuki sat down opposite him without any hesitation: "You're planning a coup and inviting me to cooperate?"
"Yuki-kun is joking."
Pushing aside his seat, Orochimaru stood up, his expression turning serious. "Anbu intelligence: the Third Raikage is leading a team that has crossed the village's defense line of the Hot Springs and is heading towards the Land of Whirlpools!"
"The Land of Whirlpools?" Yuuki stood up, walked to the map, and gestured briefly. "Is Tsunade in danger?"
As Hiruzen Sarutobi led his troops on the expedition, Tsunade also led the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and part of the allied forces to the eastern coast to build a defensive line and guard against a large-scale invasion by Kirigakure.
At the same time, Tsunade's strength reached the Kage level.
A battlefield is needed to release pent-up emotions, demonstrate one's strength, and proclaim that the Thousand Hands Clan has successors!
Healing, superhuman strength, and sustained power.
An ordinary Kage isn't necessarily stronger than Tsunade.
However, the Third Raikage was clearly not an ordinary Kage-level figure.
"What's going on? The Third Raikage is taking a detour from the Land of Fire to the Land of Whirlpools?"
Clearly, traveling from the Land of Hot Water across the ocean to the Land of Whirlpools would be a more discreet option.
The surprise attack also yielded greater results.
Why take the risk of going all the way to the Land of Fire?
The Third Raikage and the Hidden Mist Village could besiege Tsunade's defensive line.
Tsunade and the Konoha ninjas from the Land of Hot Water were also able to gang up on the Third Raikage!
Orochimaru also realized this: "The Third Raikage's actions are not as simple as they seem."
"I have a feeling that the Hidden Cloud Village is plotting something!"
"A conspiracy?" Yuuki immediately thought of the scroll that the Root ninja had given to Kumogakure.
Was the information about the ants and the rope tree worth the Third Raikage taking such a big risk?
It's one thing if other large villages dare to take the risk.
Young people don't know what's important.
Both Konoha and Kumogakure had Kage in their homes, and they were ganged up on and killed!
Deep into the heart of the Land of Fire.
Isn't this imitating the way Er Leizi died?
It really does look like it!
The coup d'état by Kinkaku and Ginkaku resulted in the deaths of the Second Raikage and the Second Hokage.
Coincidentally, the Uchiha clan harbored thoughts of a coup, but never put them into practice.
How to say?
The Third Hokage traveled day and night to the east to confront the Third Raikage.
A village shootout, two shadows killed in a violent clash—doesn't that sound pleasing to the ear?
"There's likely a conspiracy!" Yuuki nodded in deep agreement. "I understand!"
"Good!" Orochimaru smiled and nodded, just about to assign the task.
"Let's quickly write a letter to the Hokage and ask him to support the defense line of Uzushiogakure!"
Orochimaru's smile froze on his face.
Reversing the Heavenly Gang!
Are you treating the Hokage like a beast of burden?
“Yuuki-kun, that’s not what I meant. The police department has always had the responsibility of patrolling the village and protecting its safety. I want you to lead the team, keep an eye on the Third Raikage, and investigate intelligence.”
"The Third Raikage is a tough opponent!" Yuuki frowned. "He's probably comparable to the Hokage."
The Third Raikage, with his lightning-fast close-range thrusts, should theoretically be a natural counter to ninjutsu-based turrets like Hiruzen Sarutobi.
A purely head-on confrontation.
Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't dare say he could definitely defeat the Third Raikage; he might even suffer a slight defeat.
but!
No decent person would risk their life in hand-to-hand combat!
He possesses forbidden techniques and sealing techniques.
With these two buffs, Hiruzen Sarutobi was not afraid of the Third Raikage at all, and even had the upper hand.
"Yuuki-kun doesn't have confidence?" Orochimaru frowned slightly. Was he going to take matters into his own hands?
"No, I mean, we need to pay more!"
Orochimaru chuckled: "Deal!"
After some bargaining, the two reached an agreement.
Yuuki selects a ninjutsu from the Book of Sealing, the Logistics Department distributes a batch of patrol funds, and the Research Department takes the lead in purchasing a batch of ant-slaying quotas.
Orochimaru extended his right hand: "I knew I hadn't misjudged you, Yuuki-kun. It's a pleasure working with you."
Yuuki shook hands and said solemnly, "Everything is for the village!"
After Yuuki left, Orochimaru secretly altered some minor numbers.
It's winding and circuitous.
Isn't that strange?
Money and resources suddenly appeared at Orochimaru's private research base.
After finishing his work, he called out to the door, "Moonlight-kun, could you please invite Chief Inuzuka and Chief Aburame to the Science and Technology Department?"
Chunin Moonlight respectfully replied, "Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"
Orochimaru stroked the Hokage throne.
Is this what it's like to become Hokage?
A fleeting look of confusion crossed his eyes.
He became resolute and clear-headed.
Power is fleeting.
The only thing a ninja can pursue forever is endless knowledge and ninjutsu!
......
The outskirts of the Land of Fire.
The Third Raikage led ten elite squads, avoiding towns and hiding in the forest.
Every now and then, he would deliberately show himself.
I hereby announce that the Third Raikage is here!
"Lord Raikage, you must go back immediately! It's too risky!" Tsuchida followed beside the Raikage, his face filled with anxiety.
If he hadn't followed, he wouldn't have noticed that the Raikage had actually led a small team into the Land of Fire!
What kind of nonsense is this?
Are they following in the footsteps of the second generation?
If we get surrounded, we'll almost certainly die!
The Third Raikage waved his hand, indicating that no further words were needed.
"Lord Raikage! The advisory group has discussed this, and given the fierce battle between Konoha and the three great ninja villages, the best course of action for the village is to observe and wait for developments!"
"Completely wrong!" The Third Raikage frowned, his bulging muscles contracting vigorously.
"It is precisely because everyone thinks like you that Konoha is allowed to grow stronger and stronger!"
"It appears to be a fierce battle between three villages, but in reality, which village has truly declared war on Konoha?"
"Only the Sand Village can't hold on any longer!"
"If we continue to wait and see, the village will only be dragged down by Konoha!"
The more important reason is that the Third Raikage completely lost his composure!
Konoha has produced too many talented individuals who fought their way out of the battlefield!
In the Land of Rain, Uchiha Yuuki suddenly appears!
Sunagakure, the White Fang of Konoha, is famous!
In Iwagakure, Orochimaru begins to show his true colors!
In just two short years, three Kage-level fighters have emerged!
So young!
Originally, the Raikage didn't think it was impossible to drag things out any longer.
With war raging in the west and east, trade between the relatively peaceful border of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire is bound to increase!
The Cloud Concealment technique can also sustain itself for longer.
Unexpectedly, another city with a thousand hands has appeared!
Several main trade routes have been cut off!
According to intelligence, the twelve-year-old Senju Nawaki is no weaker than a Jonin!
Another 'Uchiha Yuuki'!
If this drags on any longer, what will happen to the four great ninja villages once Senju Nawaki has also grown up?
Turning it into Konoha's training ground?
Fortunately, there was discord within Konoha, and at least there were traitors sending out intelligence!
This is the only thing that's comforting!
