Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

Chapter 156 Current Affairs (starting point 50 collection plus update 55)

The name Uzumaki Shirataki has extraordinary significance to Kumogakure Village.

Because Shirataki is a ninja who can escape from the hands of the Third Raikage, the symbol of their invincibility in Kumogakure Village, in a head-on battle, in a one-on-one situation. Even the Third Raikage can fight hand-to-hand with the Eight-Tails. Shirataki's strength was greatly appreciated.

This move left a thick shadow on almost all the young ninjas in their Hidden Cloud Village, which seemed to never be healed.

After the Third Raikage finished speaking, Xiao Ai also became quiet. He lowered his head subconsciously, and his eyebrows knitted together unconsciously.

After a while, as if he had figured something out, Xiao Ai raised his head again, looked directly at his father, gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, Mizukage was injured, and Kirigakure Village cannot let go. Do we want to?"

Seeing that his son seemed to have some ideas, out of the consideration of cultivating him, the Third Raikage did not interrupt him, but raised his head slightly to signal him to continue.

Encouraged by his father, Xiao Ai no longer hesitated and expressed his thoughts decisively, "I think we can unite Kirigakure Village, join Sunagakure, Tsuchigakure, and Amegakure to besiege Konoha!"

"Let Uzumaki Shirataki, and Konoha, pay the price!" When he said these words, Xiao Ai was angry, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, and there was a faint evil aura that did not belong to his age group all over his body. The whole person looked menacing.

Unexpectedly, the Third Raikage's face suddenly darkened, he slammed the table and shouted loudly, "Stupid! Are you going to fight Konoha with those bastards from Iwagakure? Is your brain full of mush?"

As he said that, the Third Raikage saw that although Xiao Ai had been scolded by him and kept silent, a hint of fear flashed across his face as usual, but there was still a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Taking in all the changes in his son's demeanor, the Third Raikage sighed slightly in his heart, but on the surface he still maintained the majesty of the Raikage and said in a deep voice, "Let's not talk about the grudge between Kumogakure and Iwagakure that must be resolved. And we have reached a preliminary cooperative relationship with Danzo, let’s talk about laying siege to Konoha.”

"Now that there are so many Ninja Villages participating, how much benefit can we get from participating?" Hearing the words of the Third Raikage, not only Xiao Ai was stunned, but also Toutai Wabi beside him, They all looked at the Third Raikage in surprise. It felt like one could not imagine that the Raikage-sama, who was always reckless and impulsive, would be so rational today.

Noticing the expressions of the three people around him, the Third Raikage knew what they were thinking. He couldn't help but sigh and continued, "Iwagakure Village is the target we planned early in the morning. If we rashly change our strategy to attack Konoha, what will happen to our clouds?" To put it bluntly, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Besides, with the sudden emergence of Uzumaki Shirataki, I am really not sure how many trump cards Konoha has hidden."

After saying this, the Third Raikage looked at Xiao Ai. Seeing that the other person seemed to be thinking hard, his eyes couldn't help but soften a little. After a while, he continued, "Ai, I know you are not convinced. You have been thinking about it." Although the motivation to challenge Shirataki is good, I hope you can remember one thing."

As he said that, the third generation Raikage's face turned serious, and his tone became extremely serious, "You are my successor, and you will be the ninja who will inherit the name of Raikage in the future, so don't let selfish desires control your body and mind. You Always remember that you are a shadow first, and then my son.”

The sincere words came from his father's mouth. Xiao Ai opened his mouth, but at the moment he didn't know what to say. In desperation, he had no choice but to sigh heavily and suppress the impulse in his heart. The scene of the Third Raikage educating Xiao Ai was caught in the eyes of Todai and Bi who were standing aside. This also made them smile involuntarily, as if they were sincerely amused.

If we look at it purely from the perspective of unity, among the five major ninja villages at this stage, only Yunyin Village is truly united, with no internal fighting or disputes, and everyone is using their strength in one place. From the daimyo to every ordinary cloud ninja, the atmosphere in the entire Kingdom of Thunder can be said to be very harmonious.

Although this country is martial and has a strong desire to attack the outside world, this does not hinder the various power groups within it, including the direct descendants of the Raikage, the group of elders, the ninja clan, and civilian ninjas. Their relationship with each other is handled extremely harmoniously, and serious internal conflicts rarely occur.

In the original plot, what the Fourth Raikage Ai said at the Five Kage Conference, "Only in Kumogakure Village, there are no rebel ninjas who join the Akatsuki" truly proves how united Kumogakure Village is.

Therefore, in the Raikage's office at this moment, whether it is the third generation Raikage, Xiao Ai, or Bihe Tudai. There may still be conflicts of opinion between them, but their long-term mutual understanding and mutual communication style of dealing with each other make all conflicts visible, and there will be no such bad things as intrigues.

The reason why Xiao Ai proposed to launch a war against Konoha was very simple, but the Third Raikage obviously had other plans in mind, so he taught Xiao Ai a lesson, and at the same time explained to the latter his responsibilities as a shadow.

That is, you should not make hasty decisions due to personal vendettas, thus putting Yunyin Village in a disadvantageous situation. Xiao Ai may have understood the meaning of the Third Raikage's words, or he may have been shocked by his father's serious expression. In short, he did not continue to speak.

On the side, Tudai saw that the atmosphere was about to get better, so he asked the Third Raikage, "Lord Raikage, do we still want to launch a surprise attack on the Kingdom of Earth as originally planned?"

The raid on the Earth Country was personally decided by the Third Raikage many years ago. It is the main strategic direction of Kumogakure Village in this great ninja war. It's just that after communicating with Danzo, this strategic direction became clearer. Originally, the date was approaching, everything was fine, and the war between Yunyin Village and Iwagakure Village was about to begin.

But at this juncture, first the third generation Mizukage was attacked and injured, and then the third generation Raikage took action to annihilate Uzushio Village. These two major events happened one after another, which drove Dodai to ask the third generation Raikage instinctively. , because he intuitively felt that his leader's decision-making might change.

And sure enough, the Third Raikage's mind did change. I saw him slowly take a breath, stretched out his left palm to rub his forehead, frowned and replied, "Wait a moment, I can't understand the current situation in the ninja world. Let's wait until the situation becomes clearer before we enter." It’s not too late.”

Noticing that the tone of the Third Raikage's voice was slightly tired when he spoke, Dodai thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "Lord Raikage, is it because of Konoha?"

Putting down his hand, the Third Raikage glanced sideways at Dodai, and said without sadness or joy, "Konoha is now facing the siege of three ninja villages at the same time, and it is also extremely chaotic internally. The situation can be said to be extremely bad. Can they withstand it?" Pressure, or even reversal of the situation, will determine our future strategic layout."

The Third Raikage conveyed a lot of information in these two sentences. At this moment, not only Todai was thinking, but Bi and Xiao Ai on the side were also deep in thought, trying to figure out the deep meaning. Seeing that everyone closed their eyes and thought deeply, no one spoke for a while. Although the third generation Raikage's expression did not change, he actually sighed deeply in his heart.

There was only one reason why he changed his original plan, and that was because he personally felt the opponent's power during the fight with Shirataki. After the battle with Shirataki, the Third Raikage spent almost every day and night recalling every detail of the fight, which also allowed him to grasp more things and gain a little understanding of Shirataki's tricks.

As for the various factions within Konoha, thanks to the many spies placed by Kumogakure in Konoha, the Third Raikage usually knew everything about them. It was because of this that he vaguely realized that Danzo might not be able to control a powerful ninja like Uzumaki Shirataki, and Danzo had not really issued any orders to Uzumaki Shirataki on any occasion. In other words, Uzumaki Shirataki is very likely not Danzo’s secret card. It’s all just their own overthinking.

Facing Xiao Ai, Todai, and Bulubi, the third generation Raikage could only give one answer, and that was "Wait a little longer."

Thanks to Renge's unreserved statement of the truth in front of tens of thousands of Kiri ninjas that night, there was no way to conceal the news of the Third Mizukage's assassination and injury.

Although, Kirigakure didn't even think about hiding it. So, when the news gradually spread, the entire ninja world seemed to be boiling.

Whether they were village ninjas, wandering ninjas, daimyo, or civilians, countless people rushed to report the matter, completely spreading the aftermath of this matter to every corner of the ninja world.

After a few weeks passed, even the four or five-year-old children in the iron country in the north and the remote tea country understood this matter.

Mizukage's injury is of extraordinary significance. Because the strength of each Great Ninja Village Kage stands at the top of the Ninja World Pyramid, their status is far superior to thousands of ordinary ninjas, and they can be said to be one of the five most powerful people in the world. one.

Two such big shots were injured, and it was all written by the same Konoha ninja. Such shocking news shocked the attention of many people and kept them awake all night.

Shocked, horrified, unbelievable, dumbfounded. All kinds of emotions surged in the hearts of countless people. Even civilians who were not familiar with the world couldn't help but talk about it after learning about it, let alone the ninjas?

No matter which country they belong to, no matter where they are, or which ninja village they are, after hearing the news, they behaved no better than the civilians.

The intensity and danger of this war that swept through the entire ninja world far exceeded everyone's imagination. The future seems to be about to go berserk.

For a time, the ninja world was turbulent, with all kinds of comments, discussions, and exclamations coming out one after another.

Civilians, ninjas, nobles, and even daimyo from all over the world unanimously remembered Shirataki's name in their hearts and classified him as an existence that must not be provoked.

For the senior officials of the major ninja villages, Shirataki's presence was a pain in their throats, and they even felt uneasy when sleeping.

The reason why I feel this way is because if I count every mission Shirataki performs, I will find a characteristic that looks interesting, but actually makes the senior officials of each village fearful.

That is, Shirataki never performs ordinary tasks. His business scope does not include protecting his employer or routine intelligence transmission. It can be said that he has nothing to do with the low-level ninjas in each village.
