The border of the Fire Nation.

Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village stationed a large number of troops here, and frictions continued. Both sides had accumulated a lot of anger, but the top leaders never issued an order for a decisive battle.

At the same time, the attention of the entire ninja world is focused here.

·····
The cloud hidden military camp.

While listening to his female secretary reporting to him, Raikage Ai was working out on his own. Even though he only had one arm, it didn't stop him from pursuing muscles.

The last war was a huge setback for him.

Not only did he fail in the war, but he also lost an arm due to Danzo's scheme.

"The commander of Konoha's army is Konoha's advisor."

Upon hearing this, Raikage Ai stood up, took the Raikage God Robe handed to him by the beautiful secretary and put it on: "Danzo, that old dog? Then let's go meet Danzo!"

The beautiful secretary hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Raikage, the commander-in-chief coming to the front line this time is indeed Konoha's consultant, but it is not Shimura Danzo, but another Hokage consultant, Mito Kado En."

The Raikage was stunned for a moment, then angrily said, "You just sent a random person to fool me. Is Shimura Danzo so arrogant?"

Because Uchiha Tetsuha's action was so clean that no trace was left behind, the entire ninja world, except for the Konoha high-ranking officials who inferred that Shimura Danzo was dead through the disappearance of [Seal of the Tongue], no one else knew that Danzo was dead.

Everyone in the Land of Lightning believed that Danzo was injured while capturing the Two-Tails, so he has not appeared during this period.

The main purpose of Raikage Ai leading his troops to invade the border of the Fire Country this time was not to capture cities or even to avenge Danzo for his broken arm.

Raikage Ai is indeed easily emotional, but that doesn't mean he is brainless. After all, he is the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village, and his main purpose this time is to get back the Two-Tails.

"Lord Raikage, now is not the time to be angry. It won't be too late to turn against you after we get the Two-Tails back." The beautiful secretary advised.

Lei Ying Ai snorted coldly: "I know!"

Losing the Two-Tail can be said to be a shame in the heart of Raikage Ai. It is something he cannot accept, and he is determined to take the Two-Tail back.

"What kind of person is Mizuto Menen?" Raikage Ai asked.

Although Mizuto Kado En is the Hokage's advisor, not many civilians know his reputation. Those who know his identity are either Konoha's high-ranking officials or Anbu members.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Mito Kado En, they were all members of the Second Hokage's Senju Tobirama Shadow Guard when they were young."

"It is said that Mitokado En has the same strength as the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen."

"He has a calm mind and rich experience. Sarutobi Hiruzen relies on him a lot."

Raikage Ai's brows relaxed when he heard this: "Equal strength to Sarutobi Hiruzen? Then there's nothing to be afraid of. Just don't fall into the traps they set. There's nothing to be afraid of."

The beautiful secretary said, "Lord Raikage, let's get the Two-Tails back first before considering whether to fight or not."

Raikage Ai nodded and listened to the advice.

··········
The central tent of Konohagakure.

The patriarchs of the Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka, Aburame, Kurama and other ninja clans gathered here. Sitting in the main seat was an old man in a white robe with glasses and gradually graying hair and beard.

"The Raikage has come with bad intentions. Do you have any plan to deal with him?" asked Mizuto Menen.

Facing the attack of the Hidden Cloud Army, no matter what little thoughts Nara, Aburame and the others had, as soon as the Third Hokage issued an order, they had to rush to the front line and fight the Raikage to the death.

Not every family can choose not to participate in the war like the Uchiha family.

Uchiha is the last line of defense prepared by Senju Tobirama for Konoha, so the Konoha Police Department does not have to participate in the front-line war. As long as one is a member of the Konoha Police Department, he has the right to go to the front line to fight.

In the Third Ninja World War, the Uchiha lost so many people, and it was Uchiha Fugaku who took the initiative to apply for participation. Uchiha Fugaku thought that if he performed well, he could become Hokage, and at the same time he wanted to please the Third Generation Sarutobi so that the Uchiha could integrate into the village and no longer be isolated by the villagers.

Members of the Konoha Police Department cannot be transferred to the front line, but ordinary Uchiha ninjas can still be recruited to participate in the war. After all, the number of places in the Konoha Police Department is limited.

But after the night of the genocide, all the Uchiha were put into the police department, and there were vacancies.

The last time Danzo did not recruit Shinobi clan ninjas, it was because Shimura Danzo wanted to win, his goal was to defeat the Raikage Ai and then return to Konoha with glory.

Knowing that he had become alienated from the Ninja Clan, how could Danzo dare to use Ninja Clan ninjas as the main force of the army? He was also afraid of being stabbed in the back.

He can only bring the Root and the family ninjas behind Konoha F4.

Mitomon En and Shimura Danzo have different goals.

Mitomon En is not afraid of the ninjas from the Ninja Clan playing badly, and he is even less afraid of them deliberately letting up.

He came here to lose on purpose.

As long as the Ninja Clan doesn't give in or let up, he will let up.

"The Raikage asked us to hand over the Two-Tails and then we will withdraw, or I will return the Two-Tails to Kumogakure!" said Inuzuka Tsumugi.

The ninjas present did not think there was anything wrong with her words, because the bottom line of the Tailed Beast Village was the consensus of the ninja world.

If the tailed beasts are not exchanged, this battle will inevitably end in a fight to the death.

The ninjas of Konoha have very little desire for war.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's weak and gentle attitude towards the outside world meant that even if he won the war, he would not ask for much war reparations from the enemy country. He might even refuse to pay any compensation and instead give money to the other side to ask them to withdraw their troops.

Secondly, the Fire Nation is too rich. Even if the Sand Shadow Village compensates half of the task to Konoha Village, it would be just a drizzle in Konoha.

It can be said that war really does not benefit the ninja clan.

The Inuzuka clan, in particular, do not want war the most.

The cost of training a ninja from the Inuzuka family is twice that of training a ninja from other families.

Not only do the Inuzuka family ninjas need to consume resources themselves, but their ninja dogs also need to consume resources.

The most important thing is that the ninja dog needs to cultivate feelings with the ninja from a young age, otherwise they will not be able to cooperate well.

Whether it was casualties among ninjas or ninja dogs, they were basically destroyed.

Mitomon Yan snorted coldly: "No need to say more!"

"It is impossible to negotiate peace. It will never be possible."

"You are all high-ranking officials of Konoha. You all know that the Fifth Hokage, Danzo, has died in battle. Konoha did not catch the Two-Tails. This is the slander of the Raikage."

"The despicable Lei Manzi just wants to start a war."

"They deliberately used such lame excuses to humiliate us."

"Pass on my military order. Have the entire army prepare for battle immediately. We must fight a decisive battle with the Hidden Cloud Village today."

Nara Shikaku could no longer pretend to be dead after hearing this, and quickly advised: "Master Advisor, war is not always decided right away."

Mitomon Yan stood up and said, "No need to say more, I have made up my mind, follow the military order!" (End of this chapter)
