Hearing the word "Byakugan", Oonoki's expression froze slightly.
"You really have a big appetite, Raikage."
Who in the entire ninja world doesn't know that the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is one of the most outstanding Kekkei Genkai? There are countless people who have their eyes on the Byakugan, but apart from a special case in Kirigakure Village, no other villages have found traces of the Byakugan.
Of course, he is envious of the Byakugan, not just the Byakugan, even the Sharingan, are also the main targets of various villages.
"Even if it's big, it's not as big as your appetite, Oonoki. The Nine-Tails is not something ordinary people dare to covet."
Raikage said teasingly.
If it weren't for the Four-Tails being killed, Oonoki wouldn't have made such an impulsive decision.
"Then I hope we can cooperate happily."
"Happy cooperation."
Now Namikaze Minato has no idea that he has been targeted by not only Iwagakure Village but also Kumogakure Village.
"Raikage-sama, are we really going to join forces with Iwagakure Village?"
At this time, Raikage's assistant stood aside and spoke, and from his face, he could not help but see some worried expressions.
"Join forces? Humph, it's just a matter of mutual benefit."
Raikage snorted coldly. How could he possibly join forces with Iwagakure Village? His father died at the hands of Iwagakure Village. Even if he joined forces with Konohagakure, he would definitely not join forces with Iwagakure Village. This time it was just a matter of mutual benefit. After this matter is over, they and Iwagakure Village will still be incompatible enemies.
"But can our plan succeed this time?"
"I don't know, but we have to try. If we succeed in getting the Byakugan, it doesn't matter if we sacrifice a few people."
At this time, Konohagakure Village was also in a state of high alert, and all the ninjas received a task to always pay attention to unusual people around them.
Although they didn't know what had happened, it was the Hokage's order, so they had to execute it. The atmosphere in the village now was as if a war was about to break out.
This situation continued for three days without any improvement.
"Minato, Kumogakure Village wants to sign a peace agreement with us."
"A peace agreement?"
Hearing this, Minato frowned. After a war, a peace agreement would usually be signed, but for the major ninja villages, this peace agreement has no binding force at all. A war could break out at any time.
So for them, the peace agreement is like a paper tiger, whether it is signed or not. So for a while, Minato was a bit confused about Kumogakure Village's intentions.
"Could it have something to do with Iwagakure Village?"
At this time, Nara Shikaku spoke again.
"I don't know, but we have to be on guard."
Minato said with a frown. If the other party used the signing of a peace agreement to enter the village, they had no reason to refuse them.
"How long will it take for the Kumogakure Village delegation to arrive?"
"If there are no accidents, it will be three days."
"Three days, huh. From the moment they step into Konohagakure, pay attention to their every move. I feel that their visit is not that simple."
"I understand."
Nara Shikaku nodded seriously. As the brain of Konohagakure Village, his intelligence is higher than Minato's, so he can think of anything Minato can think of.
"Satoru-sensei, what happened? Why do I feel that the atmosphere in the village has been a bit strange recently?"
During a training session, Tenma asked Hatake Satoru.
Itachi also looked at Satoru with a curious look. He had noticed the special atmosphere in the village a long time ago, and even asked his father if something had happened. But the result was that his father didn't know either.
This even made some people in the Uchiha clan think that the village might be going to make a move on them.
"It's nothing, it's just that some guys are not very satisfied, so we need to be on guard."
At present, Hatake Satoru still doesn't know about Kumogakure Village's intention to sign a peace agreement.
"Who are those guys?"
Tenma asked in confusion.
"Iwagakure Village."
"Iwagakure Village, we don't seem to have any grudges with them recently, do we?"
Itachi pondered for a moment and said, he hadn't heard of any friction between Konohagakure and Iwagakure Village recently.
"Well, there wasn't before, but there was just a few days ago. I killed a rather important person in Iwagakure Village, so it should be related to this matter."
Originally, Hatake Satoru thought that without a Jinchuriki, Oonoki would wage a war against Konohagakure and demand an explanation. Now it seems that he might have overestimated Oonoki.
"So for the time being, don't take any missions. You guys stay at home and don't have any accidents."
"Is there going to be a war?"
Shinko asked nervously.
Hearing the word "war", thinking of the bloody battlefield he had been to, Itachi also showed a serious look.
"Who knows? But if Iwagakure Village really dares to wage war, then we should just wipe them out before the war starts."
Hearing Satoru say this, Itachi and the others immediately felt a chill, letting them know that Satoru was serious, not joking.
"But the chances are probably not high."
At this point, Satoru returned to his original playful state.
Tenma and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
"Teacher, you really scared me just now, I thought you were really going to make a move on Iwagakure Village."
Tenma said, patting his chest.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the delegation of Kumogakure Ninja quickly arrived at the entrance of Konohagakure Village, where they were greeted by Nara Shikaku.
"Welcome, everyone from Kumogakure Village."
Nara Shikaku said.
However, the moment they stepped into Konohagakure Village, these Kumogakure Ninjas noticed that the atmosphere in the village was unusual. They all came with special missions, and those who could carry out such missions were naturally not weak in strength or observation.
"It seems that the people of Konohagakure don't seem to welcome us very much?"
The leader of Kumogakure Village, Kawamoto Yoshizo, said with a cold face.
Just a moment ago, he noticed that at least five Anbu were watching them.
Under these circumstances, it would be very difficult for them to carry out their special mission.
"Where, where, how could we not welcome you."
Nara Shikaku waved his hand, and the Anbu quickly left. Yoshizo Kawamoto also felt the gaze on them disappear.
"It's just that some things have happened in the village recently, so we are more vigilant towards outsiders. We hope you won't take offense."
Nara Shikaku said apologetically. He had known for a long time that the Anbu couldn't keep an eye on them, so he didn't rely on the Anbu at all. Sometimes, observing and tracking a person, the bugs of the Aburame clan are more useful.
"Of course not, we all understand."
Kawamoto Yoshizo did not dwell on this matter.
