Haruki made some minor adjustments to Nobuaki Oda's body.
He added the effect of a lightning strike to the wound.
He didn't leave immediately with Minato.
After waiting for a moment, a faint light emerged from the huge Gundam puppet and then vanished.
The field of vision suddenly broadened.
In the distance, the sound of a speeding wind could be heard.
The Third Kazekage, Rasa, Sasori and others landed.
Haruki glanced around, and many of them had injuries.
Facing the future Fourth Raikage, A, it was really a bit difficult to come out unscathed.
He raised his hand, and a massive amount of chakra turned into a pale green light, covering a distance of nearly ten meters.
Everyone felt a warm current flowing through their bodies.
Not only did the wounds disappear, but even the fatigue vanished without a trace.
They couldn't help but widen their eyes.
In recent years, the economy of Sunagakure has improved, and they have spared no effort in the construction of medical ninjas. However, they had never experienced medical ninjutsu with such an amazing effect.
Most importantly, Haruki was so nonchalant about it.
They finally had a very intuitive experience of the legendary medical ninja, Haruki.
The Third Kazekage, however, wasn't very surprised.
He had witnessed the battles among Chiyo, Tsunade, and Haruki.
He had already seen Haruki's medical ninjutsu before.
He stepped forward, looking a bit ashamed, and said, "A few people got away: A, Tarui, Samui and Xi. They used Space–Time Ninjutsu. They must have anticipated this situation and made preparations beforehand. Fortunately, Sasori's puppet was beyond their expectations, and the others didn't have a chance to escape."
"It's not your fault."
Haruki shook his head and smiled. "If it were really that easy to catch A, wouldn't that make them look too stupid?"
After saying that, he glanced at Sasori, who was standing there expressionlessly with his head down.
As far as he knew, this guy should be blaming himself.
Hearing this, the Third Kazekage let out a sigh of relief.
Originally, he was full of confidence. He was the strongest Kazekage, and his apprentice was equally powerful.
With two Kazekages here, couldn't they take down a future Raikage?
But the facts proved that it was really a bit difficult.
Without Sasori's puppet, they would have been a bit weak in the face of A's attacks.
Mainly, A's combination of Taijutsu and Lightning Release was truly invincible.
"But fortunately, the final result is good."
The Third Kazekage glanced around. Neither Haruki nor Tsunade and the others were injured, and even their clothes were intact.
Then, when they faced The Third Raikage and the two Jinchuriki, they should have achieved amazing results.
The hidden strength of Konoha Village was truly intimidating.
He still had no idea about Haruki and Tsunade's Wood Release.
Previously, he had been busy fighting A, so naturally he couldn't be distracted to observe the battle here.
From a long - distance perception, it seemed that the battle was extremely intense.
He suspected that the Nine - Tailed Fox Jinchuriki of Konoha Village had made a move.
Just then, the Third Kazekage stared blankly.
Huh? What the hell?
Who was lying there?!
Nobuaki Oda?
The Third Kazekage raised his hand, pointed at Nobuaki Oda's body, swallowed hard, and asked, "Is the Daimyo injured?"
"No, he's dead."
Haruki sighed helplessly. "During the previous battle, the Daimyo was unfortunately caught in the crossfire and died."
The Third Kazekage twitched the corner of his mouth.
You're such a sly one.
Do you think I'll believe that?
None of the dozens of Black Armor Army soldiers were injured, but the Daimyo they were protecting died?
So you guys only targeted one person during the fight? That's like shearing the same sheep over and over!
Haruki knew he didn't believe it.
However, Sunagakure and Konoha Village were connected by interests, so they naturally wouldn't rat out the truth.
Everyone in the world is bustling about for profit.
The benefits Sunagakure had gained by relying on Konoha Village had already exceeded what could be obtained from war.
"This is really bad luck," the Third Kazekage sighed.
The Daimyo had only been in office for a short time and then died.
He also heard that it was all thanks to Minato Namikaze that this Daimyo had gotten the position.
Who would have thought that things would change so quickly.
However, he was a bit puzzled. Why would they kill the Daimyo?
There was no reason for it.
The Third Kazekage was still stuck in the thinking of the old era.
Apart from Haruki and the others, probably no one would believe that there were ninjas who wanted to completely control a country.
Mainly, the positioning of ninja villages had been similar to that of a mercenary army since their establishment, including the mission system that ninjas relied on for survival.
The Daimyo and the nobles were like their benefactors, providing for them.
It was difficult to change the thinking that had been around since ancient times.
Of course, there was also another reason. They lacked the confidence to govern a large country.
"Next, Konoha will declare war on the Cloud Hidden Village citing the Daimyo's death as the reason. I hope the Kazekage will offer vocal support," Haruki said.
"Naturally," the Third Kazekage said, his heart skipping a beat.
He understood.
So they were preparing to find a reasonable excuse to start a war.
Although the cost of this excuse was a bit high, it had to be said that it was aboveboard.
After being confirmed by Sunagakure, the Cloud Hidden Village would have to bear this blame.
No matter how they argued, the Daimyo's death was real.
Moreover, no one would believe that it was Haruki who did it, or that the two ninja villages would join hands to deceive the ninja world.
"Konoha will surely reciprocate Sunagakure's just - spoken support in the future," Haruki smiled and then changed the subject. "Although the Chunin Exams were interrupted because of the Cloud Hidden Village, fortunately, none of the nine students who made it to the final round are from the Cloud Hidden Village. So, let's continue the competition tomorrow."
"All right," the Third Kazekage said, slightly stunned. Haruki didn't seem to care about the Daimyo's death at all.
To be honest, he was a bit confused.
He remembered that Haruki was from a civilian family in the Land of Fire.
Why didn't he show any awe towards the Daimyo and the nobles?
Even ninjas, due to various long - standing rules, showed enough respect for them.
Only those at the Kage level could barely be on an equal footing with them.
It seemed that Haruki had shown no awe towards the Daimyo of the Land of Wind since a long time ago, probably when he came to Sunagakure to guide the economy.
Even he would hesitate when dealing with the Daimyo.
And at that time, Haruki was just starting to gain fame.
He really didn't know how Haruki had developed such a way of thinking.
Tsunade immediately summoned someone to rebuild the tower.
Meanwhile, as previously prepared, nearly one - third of the Ninja Army headed to the Land of Lightning.
The Cloud Hidden Village wanted to invade the Land of Fire, but Tsunade didn't want her land to be wrecked. The best way was to take the initiative and enter the Land of Lightning first.
Ten thousand ninjas left Konoha overnight under the leadership of Sakumo Hatake.
As for the remaining twenty thousand ninja troops, they had to temporarily guard against other ninja villages.
In every Great Ninja World War, some ninja villages would seize the opportunity to cause trouble.
Naturally, the ten - thousand - strong ninja army was smaller in number compared to the overall strength of the Cloud Hidden Village.
However, when combined with the exoskeleton power suits, the advantage lies with us.
Haruki and Minato brought the body of Nobuaki Oda back to the Daimyo's palace.
They first summoned the Grand Minister, Kengo Hirabayashi.
The previous Grand Minister, Kumao Takeuchi, had been executed, and Kengo Hirabayashi was the newly appointed one.
Kumao Takeuchi was a noble, while Kengo Hirabayashi was a civilian.
It was extremely rare for a civilian to hold the position of Grand Minister, and this was thanks to Minato Namikaze.
He told Nobuaki Oda about the drawbacks of having a noble as the Grand Minister.
For example, they were difficult to control.
Nobuaki Oda recalled that Kumao Takeuchi had instigated Hideyoshi Oda to kill his father, so he immediately agreed to Minato's suggestion.
They chose an unpowerful and unimportant guy to control.
As a result, Kengo Hirabayashi took office.
