Hearing Fourth Raikage A's words, Mabui was slightly taken aback, then nodded.
If Konoha Village were destroyed, it might truly bring peace to the entire Ninja World for a long time, after all, Konoha Village's location is simply too advantageous.
But, is such a possibility real?
Mabui did not voice her thoughts, her face still wearing a solemn expression as she looked at Fourth Raikage A and said,
"Then what should we do next?"
"Darui's troops are already prepared, aren't they? Deploy them immediately!"
Fourth Raikage A said with a cold voice.
"Yes!"
Mabui nodded and turned to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Just then, the Fourth Raikage suddenly spoke again, turning his head to look in a certain direction in the distance, his voice flat as he said,
"Bee, come out."
After a while, Killer Bee scratched his head and squeezed out from a crack in the rock.
Seeing Killer Bee, Fourth Raikage A showed no surprise: "Since you heard what I just said, then you go too, but, it's best not to use the power of the Tailed Beast until the very last moment."
Speaking of this, Fourth Raikage A's voice paused, carrying a unique domineering aura: "If you plan to use the power of the Tailed Beast, then you must be prepared to destroy Konoha!"
Not long after, when Darui saw the somewhat eccentric Killer Bee and Lord Raikage's secretary Mabui appear before him, he knew that something big was likely about to happen.
"This is really troublesome."
Darui muttered listlessly in a low voice, but a look of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
Soon, a Cloud Shinobi troop led by Darui and Killer Bee from Cloud Ninja Village, without any attempt to conceal their movements, headed directly towards Konoha.
...
Iwagakure!
Not long after Hidden Cloud Village deployed its troops, almost simultaneously, Ōnoki received news from Kitsuchi and Akatsuchi.
Tsuchikage's office.
Ōnoki, who was originally sitting on his chair, was now floating up from it, hovering in mid-air.
"You mean Kirigakure and Sand Ninja have jointly attacked Konoha!"
Ōnoki's voice was a little agitated, then he landed on the ground, pacing back and forth and muttering to himself:
"No wonder... no wonder Mist Ninja Village has been acting somewhat strangely recently, it turns out they've already joined forces with Sand Ninja."
"Also, the signs of Cloud Ninja Village mobilizing Ninja troops some time ago are likely related to this matter."
"Hmph! These three Villages secretly joining forces, they didn't even inform this old man. It seems they look down on this old fossil."
Ōnoki let out a light snort, a cold smile on his face.
Standing in the office, Kitsuchi on the other side heard Ōnoki's words, his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch, and he said in a low voice: "Father, you don't need to be angry..."
"Angry? Why should I be angry? The Mizukage of Mist Ninja Village seems to be a little girl, right?"
Ōnoki smiled lightly, turning his head to look at Kitsuchi.
"That's right, I think her name is Mei Terumī."
Kitsuchi thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Whether this little girl is strong or not, I don't know, but just from this move, you can see that this little girl is not to be underestimated."
"Three Great Ninja Villages joining forces against Konoha, the question is no longer whether Hidden Stone Village should interfere, but whether we, Hidden Stone Village, want to get a piece of the pie."
"No wonder Mist Ninja Village didn't contact this old man, it's because she already knew this old man's choice."
"They want to use the power of the Four Great Shinobi Villages to completely destroy Konoha! Good means, great spirit!"
Ōnoki's face first showed a solemn expression, then he suddenly burst into laughter.
"Although I was calculated a bit, if I don't attack Konoha at this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, then I've been Tsuchikage for so many years for nothing."
Having said that, Ōnoki turned around to look at Kitsuchi and Akatsuchi, his tone solemn:
"Both of you will lead troops simultaneously and head towards Konoha Village. If you encounter Hidden Cloud Village's troops on the way, do not initiate any conflict."
"In the face of such enormous interests, even if there is great hatred between the Villages, it will likely be put aside."
When Ōnoki said this, a thoughtful expression flashed across his face, and then he continued: "Also, call Han over."
Kitsuchi's face was startled: "Father, Jinchuriki are reserved as the Villages' trump cards. Is it wise to use a Jinchuriki at this time...?"
Before Kitsuchi could finish speaking, Ōnoki had already floated up and appeared above Kitsuchi's head, reaching out and giving Kitsuchi's head a hard smack.
Ōnoki's tone carried a hint of disappointment for not being able to achieve more: "At this time, we're already planning to destroy Konoha, and you're still thinking about the Tailed Beast issue!"
Kitsuchi was stunned, scratched his head awkwardly, and then whispered: "Then should we also call Senior Roshi?"
Hearing the name "Roshi", Ōnoki's face darkened, and he said stiffly: "No need to call that old man, moreover, he has already left the Village."
"Left the Village?"
Kitsuchi was taken aback, a look of surprise appearing on his face. Although the location where Jinchuriki usually live is very remote, he was surprised that he didn't know about such an important matter.
Seeing Ōnoki's somewhat unpleasant expression, Kitsuchi closed his mouth again. If even he didn't know about the Jinchuriki leaving the Village, which was such an important matter, then his father must have deliberately concealed it.
However, thinking about it, Senior Roshi's temper was as stubborn as his father's, so it was expected that he would leave the Village.
Glancing at Ōnoki, whose face was slightly dark, Kitsuchi couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Hurry up and go!"
Ōnoki's dissatisfied voice echoed throughout the Tsuchikage's office.
Both Kitsuchi and Akatsuchi showed bitter smiles on their faces and turned to leave.
Following the deployment of the Cloud Ninja Village and Hidden Stone Village's Ninja troops, one after another, all the surrounding smaller Ninja Villages immediately fell into a tense atmosphere.
They were afraid that the two great Ninja Villages had gone mad and would wipe them out in one go.
However, it wasn't until the Ninja of the two great Ninja Villages passed by not far from their Villages without showing any intention of attacking them that they breathed a deep sigh of relief. At the same time, these small Ninja Villages were somewhat curious about the purpose of the two great Ninja Villages deploying their Ninja troops.
What surprised and intrigued many small Ninja Villages even more was that when the troops of Cloud Ninja Village and Hidden Stone Village met, there was no fighting at all, as if neither side could see the other.
It should be known that Cloud Ninja Village and Hidden Stone Village are sworn enemies, and when Ninja from the two great Ninja Villages meet, there is almost always a possibility of a fight.
And now, when the two troops met, they didn't fight, so how could this not make many small Ninja Villages curious.
There were many intelligent people among the various small Ninja Villages. The only thing that could make two Ninja Villages put aside their hatred was probably enormous interest.
