As this muscular figure walked out of Kirigakure's fog, his figure gradually became clearer. His dark skin matched his exaggerated muscles, and his entire body revealed an explosive power.
There was no one here at this moment.
If there was a ninja here, he would definitely recognize that this person was Kumogakure's Third Raikage.
Of course.
This person was not the original Third Raikage.
Instead, it was the fake Third Raikage that Aoba's advanced paper clone disguised as.
However.
Even if it was fake...
The threat that it possessed was still not to be underestimated.
The Third Raikage that Aoba's advanced paper clone had imitated walked toward Kirigakure one step at a time. He passed through the fog and appeared in this country composed of islands.
Time passes by.
According to the ninja's memories of Kirigakure, Aoba successfully found Kirigakure in the fog.
At this time.
At the entrance of Kirigakure stood two ninjas who were guarding the entrance. They all wore gas mask-like helmets on their heads, with the logo of Kirigakure ninjas on the helmets.
Aoba saw the two ninjas from afar. When he saw the two of them, he did not have any reaction. Instead, he continued to walk forward.
However.
He was thinking as he walk.
Kirigakure's ninja outfit...
It had to be said.
It seems like everyone is pretty much the same.
It was hard to tell who was who.
As Aoba got closer and closer, the Third Raikage that he had transformed into suddenly appeared in the sight of the two ninjas who were guarding the entrance.
"Someone?!"
The two ninjas saw Aoba who appeared in front of them at almost the same time. Immediately, both of them widened their eyes, and their eyes flashed with horror.
"This is..."
Before the two ninjas issue an alarm to the village, they first fixed their sights on the man walking in front of them.
He had dark skin all over his body.
His hair was slightly yellowish brown.
His muscles were incomparably muscular.
And...
There was a tattoo with the word "lightning" on his right arm.
"Kumogakure's Third Raikage?!!!"
The two ninjas blurted out at the same time. The two of them were extremely shocked at this moment. It could be said that their minds were in a mess.
"We must report this to Mizukage-sama immediately!"
The two of Kirigakure's ninjas looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's eyes. This was not a simple matter. Kumogakure's Third Raikage had personally come to this place. If they were not careful, it would be a fatal blow to Kirigakure.
However.
The moment the two of them finished speaking.
The Third Raikage that Aoba had transformed into had already appeared in front of the two of them.
"It's too late."
Aoba said coldly in an indifferent tone. As he spoke, he used a hand knife at the two ninjas' necks.
Thud! Thud!
Accompanied by the sound of the two bodies falling to the ground.
The two ninjas fell one by one and were instantly knocked unconscious by a powerful force.
Aoba was only here to cause trouble.
He was not here to kill.
Although killing a few people could achieve some results sometimes, if was not necessary he was not willing to kill. He still had to meet his bottom line in some specific circumstances.
After Aoba knocked out the two ninjas guarding the entrance, he directly stepped into Kirigakure.
He had just walked in a few steps.
He was once again discovered by Kirigakure's ninjas.
"There is an enemy attack!"
The ninjas immediately shouted. They were currently at war with Kumogakure, how could they not recognize the Kumogakure logo on the Third Raikage?
What's more...
As Kirigakure's ninjas.
Who could not recognize the Third Raikage?
"Oh my god! Am I seeing things?"
"He's the Third Raikage!"
"The Raikage has come himself?"
"Something big is going to happen!"
"How should we deal with this?"
"We have already informed Mizukage-sama!"
"..."
The Kirigakure's ninjas stared cautiously at Aoba, who had become the Third Raikage. They had never faced such a scene before. Even the experience ninjas had never experienced such a scene.
Looking at the entire ninja world.
Other than Kumogakure.
The Kirigakure's ninja knew the Third Raikage's strength the best!
Because of this.
All the eyes of the ninja present were focused on Aoba, and their eyes were full of caution. However, no one dared to fight directly with Aoba, they just kept retreating along with Aoba.
"Where is your Mizukage?"
Aoba said in a low voice as he walked. He felt that the atmosphere was almost right, so he immediately mobilized the chakra in his body and changed it into lightning attribute chakra to use Raiton Chakura Mōdo(Lightning Release Chakra Mode).
Zap Zap Zap Zap...
Aoba's body was immediately surrounded by the noisy lightning sound. He seemed to be wearing lightning armor. The lightning that constantly emitted from his body was particularly dazzling in the fog. This made him like a bright lamp in the fog, making it impossible for people to not see him.
"Hiss..."
When the ninjas saw Aoba used Raiton Chakura Mōdo(Lightning Release Chakra Mode), they no longer had doubt in their hearts. They were even more sure that the muscular man in front of them was Kumogakure's Third Raikage. They could not help but suck in a mouthful of fog.
Swish!
In an instant.
A figure suddenly appeared.
It was a black-haired man dressed in ordinary light gray clothes. The man had very long hair, falling down his shoulders. Moreover, his eyes were closed, and there was no fluctuation of expression on his face.
"Raikage, you actually dare to come to Kirigakure. You don't take our Kirigakure seriously!"
The man said slowly. His tone was very gentle, and it sounded like he was a very polite person. In such a polite tone, he said a very angry word.
"You can understand it like this."
Aoba nodded directly. He came here to cause trouble. He wanted to make the situation even more chaotic. He absolutely could not let the matter pass so easily.
"I really don't take Kirigakure seriously!"
...
Sunagakure.
In Kazekage's office.
The Third Kazekage was discussing with Sunagakure's consultants, Chiyo and Ebizo.
"I am very supportive of attacking Konohagakure!"
Chiyo did not hesitate to express her own opinion. Now they were analyzing the matter that Onoki had found them so as to make the most beneficial choice for their village.
"But isn't this a bit too smooth?" The Third Kazekage said worriedly. He felt that this was a bit shameful.
"I also feel that this is the best decision." Ebizo followed suit and nodded.
"What do you mean?" The Third Kazekage immediately asked.
"Let my sister tell." Ebizo raised his eyebrows. He decided to leave this opportunity for his elder sister to express her views.
"Let me speak!"
Chiyo took over Ebizo's words, and all eyes in the meeting room fell on her, including the Third Kazekage.
"I support attacking Konohagakure mainly for the following reasons. After listening to me, you can think whether it makes sense to do so."
When Chiyo said this, the meeting room was silent. Everyone was waiting for her to say the next words.
"First, Kazekage-sama attacked Konohagakure not long ago. This has already set the foundation for the conflict between us and Konohagakure. Moreover, in the Second Ninja World War, there is too much pain between us and Konohagakure."
After Chiyo finished speaking, her tone paused.
She did not speak too clearly.
But everyone here knew.
The pain she spoke of included her son and daughter-in-law who were killed by Konoha White Fang.
Because of this.
As long as the discussion was related to Konohagakure.
Chiyo's views were always very extreme.
"Second, there is no enmity between us, Sunagakure and Iwagakure. Even if we don't deal with Konohagakure, there has already been a rift between us and Konohagakure. If we let Konohagakure off and caused a rift to appear between us and Iwagakure, then it is definitely the most failed method."
When Chiyo spoke of this point, many people in the meeting room began to nod slowly.
It was indeed the truth.
They were not fools, and they understood immediately.
The rift with Konohagakure was already set, instead of spending time maintaining it, it was best to shred it directly.
After all, maintaining it might not be good.
But Iwagakure's side would definitely be torn apart.
This would easily put them in a very embarrassing situation and be attacked from both sides.
"Third, the fact that Tsuchikage was able to come here to find Kazekage-sama showed that he was very confident in his own strength. He was not worried that we would launch a sneak attack. Since that was the case, then we should target the defenseless Konohagakure. This way, our success rate would be higher and we would be able to gain a lot of benefits during this process."
The more Chiyo spoke, the more people nodded.
In the end.
The Third Kazekage also began to nod.
"Let's do this."
The Third Kazekage slammed the table and stood up. After that, he said in an unquestionable tone, "Gather the ninja army and wait for orders. Get ready to enter the Country of Fire and attack Konohagakure."
"Yes!"
Now that everyone realized that the Third Kazekage had already made the decision, any suggestions would be unnecessary. All they could do now was follow their Kazekage's instructions and begin to prepare for war.
Outside Kazekage's office.
Aoba's advanced paper clone, who had already turned into the Third Kazekage, heard everything clearly.
"You chose Konohagakure."
"Then I will choose the other side for you!"
"This is interesting!"
After Aoba's advanced paper clone finished his last sentence, his figure disappeared in a flash.
The next moment.
His body appeared near Iwagakure.
He was shadow clone No. 1, and the task he had to do was to determine which side Sunagakure would attack.
If Sunagakure attacked Konohagakure, then he would attack Iwagakure.
If Sunagakure attacked Iwagakure, then he would attack Konohagakure.
If Sunagakure did not make any choice, then he would use clones again and attack both Konohagakure and Iwagakure.
In short...
Sunagakure being attacked from both sides could not be avoided.
Aoba's advanced paper clone immediately made a series of hand seals for Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique). After that, he released a chakra fluctuation, and hundreds of shadow clones appeared on the spot.
After these shadow clones appeared, each person immediately took out a scroll.
"Let's begin!"
"Let the ninja world become even more chaotic!"
"My puppet army!"
As soon as the voice of Aoba's advanced paper clone fell, the hundreds of shadow clones at the scene simultaneously summoned their puppets. Moreover, the ten fingers of their hands condensed the chakra line and connect it with the puppets.
"Go!"
Aoba lightly spat out these two words, and suddenly, numerous densely packed puppets began to attack Iwagakure, just like a puppet army.
