Chapter 274
"Asshole Ohnoki!"
A table suddenly broke into two halves under a great force, debris flew everywhere, and the roar of the Fourth Raikage Ai could be heard from far away.
Yumoku was a little uneasy facing the furious Raikage, but Dodai and other ninjas on the side were calm and composed. Even the ninjas from the Anbu quickly cleaned up the broken table and replaced it with a new one.
Judging from the process, this scene was obviously not the first time it happened. Many people present were somewhat accustomed to it, and even the Anbu ninjas had a tacit understanding when facing this situation.
"In the worst case scenario, the Iwagakure ninja has also reached an alliance with Konoha." Tsuchida sighed. The only good news is that the Hidden Mist Village did not stand on the side of Konoha, but was inclined to join forces with the Cloud Ninja.
However, thinking about the situation in the Hidden Mist Village, Dodai also felt a sense of powerlessness.
The defeat in the Third Ninja World War was a huge blow to the Hidden Mist Village. Four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were killed in one fell swoop by an unknown Konoha Genin, and the remaining three were also scared out of their wits.
A large number of elite Mist Ninjas were killed, and coupled with the sudden death of Yagura Karitachi, who had the potential to compete for the position of the Fourth Mizukage, the reputation of the reigning Third Mizukage suffered a major blow.
Although Kirigakure is isolated overseas and does not border other major countries, it has a certain mysteriousness and not much internal information is leaked.
But after the delegation sent by the Cloud Ninja came back, they still found out some information, such as the Third Mizukage is now being questioned by the major ninja clans in the village, and even the Daimyo of the Water Country has sent questions.
Under such circumstances, it was already commendable that the Third Mizukage could maintain his position. At least in the short term, it would be difficult for the Hidden Mist Village, which had just fought a Ninja World War, to gather strength and forcibly launch another war.
It can even be said that the arrival of the Cloud Ninja Delegation might have made the Third Mizukage breathe a sigh of relief.
From Tsuchida's perspective, since even the diplomatic envoys could easily obtain information involving high-level struggles, it was clear that the internal struggles within the Hidden Mist Village had reached an undisguised fever pitch.
"Can we win the war against Konoha?" Ai asked in a deep voice, looking at the platform.
In response to Ai's question, Tutai was silent for a moment, but still shook his head slightly under his expectant gaze.
"A Cloud Ninja who has mastered that kind of power can't do it?" The two-tailed Yukito on the side widened her eyes. She had seen the fighting power of her own Raikage when he activated the Hollow Mode.
That kind of violent power that seems to be able to crush everything is even more terrifying than the third generation Raikage.
That was a kind of power that was enough to affect the spirits of those around him just by his aura! At least as the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails, she was deeply afraid of the Fourth Raikage in Hollow Mode.
Not only her, but also the Two-Tails in her body, were extremely wary of the Raikage in that state.
You have to know that a creature like the tailed beast will not easily obey you even if you can wrestle with it and suppress it. When it has the opportunity to come out and roam free, it will be even more reckless and crazy.
No matter what happens in the future, let me come out and release the pent-up anger and unhappiness in my heart first.
But now with the Raikage around, Yukito felt that even if she wanted the Two-Tail to come out for some fresh air, the Two-Tail would simply point its butt at her and ignore her request.
In the words of the Two-Tails, it is not afraid of being beaten, because the tailed beasts have been fighting and getting beaten for the past thousand years anyway.
But the power of the Hollow in the Raikage was something it didn't want to have anything to do with. It was something that tortured and displeased the tailed beast even more than the dark desires of humans. It didn't want to be eroded by that power at all!
If it is eroded by those bad desires of human beings, it will at most become a little irritable and can still maintain its self. But if it is eroded by that kind of empty power, who knows what it will become.
As a result, he was very resistant to Yumujin's practice of the power of the void, often disrupting her practice and causing her to go berserk.
Hollow Mode rampage has become the most vigilant thing for the Kumo Ninja. Because there are only two tailed beasts, they will not go berserk casually. But ninjas who practice Hollow Mode will go berserk at least a few times.
The Fourth Raikage Ai was able to quickly secure his position and gain a higher reputation than the Third Raikage because he was the first to master the Hollow Mode and could assist other Cloud Ninjas in trying to master this power in the safest possible way.
Once mastered, it might be comparable to the legendary Sage Mode.
And the Cloud Ninja who mastered the Hollow Mode with the help of the Fourth Raikage Ai is naturally his most loyal follower.
"Hollowification?" Dodai glanced at Yukito, "The power of the Hollowification mask was accidentally obtained by the Kumo Ninja from Konoha.
In order to master this power, we, the Cloud Ninja, certainly paid a huge price. But it is hard to say that Konoha has no way to tame this power.
At least, the other party must be familiar with the power of Hollow. What's more, Konoha's top power is too powerful now.
The abdicated Third Hokage, Orochimaru and other three ninjas, as well as Yellow Flash, Instant Body Shisui, etc. They are enough to calm down a small-scale war.
As for a large-scale war..."
Tsuchida did not continue. But the current ninja world undoubtedly does not want to see another ninja war.
Too frequent ninja wars are an unbearable disaster for the entire ninja world.
If they could win in the end, it wouldn't matter. But after weighing the power comparison between the two sides, Tsuchida couldn't be sure that after the conflict between the Kumogakure and Konoha, they would be able to maintain the upper hand and win.
After all, Konoha's current technology development department is even more famous in the ninja world than the medical department originally created by Tsunade.
I heard that Iwagakure also established a similar organization within its ranks to research and manufacture new weapons of war.
In fact, apart from the chaotic Mist Village, which is not clear at the moment, the other four major ninja villages, including their own Cloud Ninja, have successively established similar scientific research institutions.
According to the intelligence they had gathered, apart from the Cloud Ninja's focus on the Hollow Mask, the Sand Village was undoubtedly focusing on puppets and energy, the Iwagakure Village seemed to be researching some kind of mass-produced weapon, and Konoha was good at everything, just as the impression it gave people, it was at the forefront.
"Then let's send an envoy. The three shadows have also held a shadow meeting, and we must join in." Ai exhaled, suppressed his inner dissatisfaction and desire to fight, and instructed Tutai.
It is true that he has a hot temper and likes to use force to solve problems, but as the Raikage, when making important decisions, he can still suppress his emotions to judge the situation and make decisions based on reality. After Konoha showed that it was possible to talk, if force failed to seize the power, then they could only try to negotiate first.
