According to Zhang Miao's original plan, he planned to wait for the envoys of Kumogakure to leave the village before going to the Land of Wind, so that he could reduce risk to the minimum.
But now it seemed that it was impossible. Now Konoha was in a crisis, and this crisis was caused by himself. Zhang Miao did not have the habit of asking others to help clean his own mess, so he changed his plan temporarily.
He decided to defeat the Kumo in a convincing manner, and then leave the village!
However, he understood very well that once he did this, it would inevitably bring some bad side effects, especially for the Hokage. Let alone other things, his incompetence would definitely be revealed.
And the most important thing was that Zhang Miao was standing up for Hizashi and the Hyuga clan. Logically speaking, this should be Hokage's job. This way, Hiruzen would be regarded as a Hokage who couldn't protect his subordinates.
Adding Danzo into the mix, and Hiruzen should be willing to spend a lot of effort to stabilize his position.
However, this was the result that Zhang Miao wanted.
"When Hiruzen is busy with his own affairs, he naturally has no time to pay attention to me. For me, this is the best result... Probably!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao let out a long sigh and then shook his head.
"It's useless to think so much now. I really hope that after the envoys return to their village, they will obediently stay in Kumo obediently. This will save a lot of problems. However, with that muscle-brained old fart character, it should be impossible, right?"
Zhang Miao was right. When Karai and the others returned to Kumogakure and conveyed Zhang Miao's words, the Fourth Raikage immediately smashed his table on the spot.
"What? That brat from the Uzumaki clan really said that? He really went too far!"
Looking at the furious Raikage, Karai immediately broke out in cold sweat. He still nodded.
"Yes, and from the Third Hokage's attitude towards him, I think he is probably Konoha's new Jinchuuriki. Raikage-sama, why don't we..."
"You don't have to speak any more!"
As if knowing what Karai was going to say, before he could speak, the Fourth Raikage waved his hand to interrupt him.
"Konoha's original Nine-tails' Jinchuuriki only died three years ago. In such a short period of time, even if they had already found a new Jinchuuriki, they would not be able to unleash the Nine-tails' power. However, our village is different. We have the perfect Jinchuuriki!"
When A said this, he suddenly clenched his fists, and a trace of ferociousness flashed across his face.
"Prepare the ship and tell everyone in the village that our Kumogakure is now at war against Konoha!"
"Yes!"
For any Ninja Village, A Kage's orders were absolute, and so was Kumogakure. With the Raikage's command, the entire village started to mobilize like a machine that had ignited its engine, and it began to operate quickly.
In less than a day, hundreds of warships were docked at the port in the south of the village. Tens of thousands of ninjas were fully armed and boarded the warships.
There was not a trace of fear on their faces. On the contrary, their faces were filled with fighting spirit.
Fourth Raikage also boarded the warship, and then waved his hand.
"Let's go!"
"Yes!"
...
Kumogakure's warships set for sail. In less than three days, they crossed the straits between the Land of Iron and the Land of Hot Water and arrived at the coast of the Land of Fire.
In the face of the menacing Kumogakure army, the observers from Konoha immediately sent a message back to the village, so when the Kumogakure army arrived at the Land of Fire's forest, Hiruzen also arrived with thousands of Konoha ninjas.
When the two armies clashed, Hiruzen, who was dressed in black ninja armor, stood at the front. Although Konoha was slightly inferior in numbers, there was no fear on Hiruzen's face.
"Raikage-dono, are you trying to start a war?"
"That's right!" Hearing Hiruzen's words, the Fourth Raikage immediately showed a face of anger, "Konoha killed one of the envoys from my village. I must settle things for my Kumogakure. Unless Konoha hands us the murderer and makes that little brat from the Uzumaki clan apologize, I will flatten the village to the ground!"
The Fourth Raikage was full of confidence when he said this because he knew that if Hiruzen did not want to start a war, he could only agree to his request. Moreover, even if there was a real war, his side had the advantage, so he was not afraid at all.
However, what he did not expect was that just as his voice fell, a burst of rampant laughter came from the other side.
"Hahahaha... Grandpa Third, did you hear that? He asked you to send me out to apologize for my sins. If I had known earlier, I would not have brought so many people. Wouldn't it be better if I had come alone?"
Hearing this laughter, the Fourth Raikage immediately frowned.
He looked in the direction of the laughter and found that on the side of Konoha's army, a red-haired boy who looked about 6 or 7 years old walked out from the crowd.
The boy who walked out at this time was none other than Zhang Miao!
After walking out of the crowd, he smiled at the Fourth Raikage.
"Hey, the one standing on the other side is the Fourth Raikage, right? According to what you just said, If I apologize, would you really withdraw your troops?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Zhang Miao's words, the Fourth Raikage immediately frowned, "How can it be so easy? This time our Kumogakure has suffered such a great loss, Konoha must compensate for them!"
"Oh? What kind of compensation does the Raikage-sama want?" At this point, Zhang Miao immediately grinned at the angry Raikage. "How about I compensate you with the Kyubi?"
"The Kyubi?" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, the Fourth Raikage immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
Although the Nine-tails were also his target, when Zhang Miao mentioned the name, he was taken aback for a bit.
"Where is the Nine-tails' Jinchuuriki? Are you the new Jinchuuriki?"
"No, no, no... Raikage-sama seems to misunderstand something!"
Looking at the longing expression on the Raikage's face, Zhang Miao smiled and waved his hand at him. "What I mean is not the Jinchuuriki, but the real Kyubi!"
"Huh?" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, the Fourth Raikage's face immediately turned cold. "Little brat, you dare to tease me?"
"No!" Looking at the Raikage's cold expression, Zhang Miao immediately spread out his hands with an innocent face, "I did say the Kyubi, right? I never mentioned Jinchuuriki from the start. Speaking of which, do you want to see the Nine-tails, Raikage-sama? Answer me!"
"Humph!" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, the Fourth Raikage snorted again, "Brat, You must be tired of living. Since you said so, take out the Nine-tails! If you bring him out, I will cut off your head!"
"As you wish!"
Zhang Miao was waiting for this answer, so as soon as the Fourth Raikage finished speaking, Zhang Miao put his finger into his mouth and bit it, then quickly made a seal.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
"Come out, Kyubi!"
