Chapter 162 Fourth Raikage

  The northern waters of the Land of Earth.

  Yunyin's offensive was extremely fierce. When the war first started, it had already captured several islands in the northern waters of the Land of Earth, and used these islands as temporary bases to continuously harass and attack the border of the Land of Earth.

  The battle with Yun Yin has been going on for several months. Under the leadership of the third generation of Tsuchikage Onogi, Yan Yin's side is only defending against Yun Yin's attack.

   After all, fighting with Yun Yin in the sea area is very unfavorable to Yan Yin.

  Because of the unique style of Yanyin Village, the ninjas in the village mainly practice earth escape ninjutsu. Taking advantage of the terrain of the land, in previous Ninja World Wars, there have been many examples of winning more with less. However, once the advantage of being on the ground is lost, the advantage of Tudun will plummet, and the strength of Yanyin ninja will also decline very seriously.

  Combined with the characteristic of Thunder Dun restraining Earth Dun, a head-on confrontation with Cloud Yin Ninja will undoubtedly make Yanyin fall into a quagmire of a dilemma.

  Based on this consideration, the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki did not advocate taking the initiative to attack Yunyin, but ordered the Iwakage Jōnin and Chunin, who are proficient in Tudun, to build a fortress with Tudun ninjutsu on the northern coastline.

  Under such circumstances, Yan Yin could not immediately end the battle here, and similarly, Yun Yin's main force could not invade the territory of the Land of Earth.

  In the camp of Yanyin.

  Three Tsuchikage Onogi sat in the largest tent, with a letter sent by Yun Yin placed in front of him.

  Onoki picked up the letter, pondered for a moment, and said to the Iwagakushi Jōnin who were sitting at the conference table: "Kunyin wants to negotiate and negotiate. I hope that we can return the body of the third generation of Raikage and the six ninja tools. They will immediately end the entanglement with us Iwagakure."

   "However, let's not say that we haven't completely solved the secret of the third Raikage's body, and when we got the third Raikage's body, we didn't find any so-called six path ninja tools."

  One Iwagakushi Jōnin said.

  His words aroused the approval of the rest of the people, and another jounin also said: "Indeed. We besieged the third generation of Raikage that day, but only got his body, and didn't see any six ninja tools. And just besieging the third generation of Raikage, we also paid a very heavy price. How can we expose it with a light sentence?"

   "That's right, it's not so easy to want a white wolf with empty hands. Others are afraid of Yunyin, but we Yanyin are not afraid of provoking trouble. If you want to get back the body of the third generation of Raikage, you must make compensation and apologize according to our rules. After all, the cause of this matter is that they provoked it first."

  If he only wants to get back the corpse of the third generation of Raikage by giving the concession of willingness to cease the war, then in the eyes of outsiders, this kind of concession will undoubtedly add the label of "cowardly and fearful" to Yan Yin's face.

   Not only that, the large amount of resources and ninjas Yanyin lost in this war also needs a reasonable explanation from Yunyin.

  If a satisfactory answer cannot be given, they will never return the body of the third generation of Raikage.

  Iwagakure's lost losses were recovered from the corpses of the three major Raikages.

   After all, it is the corpse of Raikage, one of the Five Kages, and many secrets can be deciphered from it. Especially when the third generation of Raikage died, the integrity of the corpse was preserved, so this corpse is even more precious.

   "Although it is my original intention to stop the war with Yunyin. But it is really a bit too contemptuous of us Yanyin to cover up his fault like this."

  Onoki snorted lightly.

  Although it is a good thing to cease the war with Yunyin now, Yunyin didn’t mention the matter of compensation in the letter.

  Yunyin's military strength has always been among the best among the five major countries, second only to the strongest Konoha Ninja Village. But wanting to force Yan Yin to make concessions that would damage his own interests is far from qualified.

   "However, in this way, we will not be able to participate in the battlefield on the Land of Rain. I am afraid that Shayin will be alone there."

   A Yanyin Shangren said.

   Now that Yan Yin and Sand Yin have formed an alliance, if Sand Yin can invade the Fire Nation in March this year, then the situation on the Grass Nation battlefield will also undergo a huge reversal.

  Konoha's Jiraiya troops must retreat back to the Land of Fire. If you don't retreat, you will encounter the double attack of Yan Yin and Sand Yin, which will lead to the annihilation of the Konoha army in the country of grass.

  Retreating back to the Kingdom of Fire is tantamount to opening the door to the Kingdom of Fire to Sand Yin and Rock Yin, allowing Sand Yin and their Rock Yin to achieve the biggest strategic goal of launching this war.

  However, now that Yunyin is eyeing the northern waters of the Land of Earth, Yanyin must divide the main force in the village into two, one part will fight against Konoha Ninja, and the other part will contain Yunyin's troops. Otherwise, not only will it be impossible to achieve the strategic goal of entering the Fire Nation, but even its own land will be trampled and ravaged by foreign ninjas, and the situation will be seriously unfavorable to Yan Yin.

   "There's nothing we can do about it. We're being pinned down here by Yunyin. And that Hanzo seems to be planning to lead Umein to go to war against Sanda. The situation on the battlefield is really changing."

   "The rest of the people in Amane are nothing to worry about. Hanzo is the real threat to the change of the situation in the Land of Rain. What exactly is Chiyo in Sand hidden doing? Doesn't it mean that everything has been arranged? At this time, Hanzo is involved, and the original plan can't be carried out smoothly now!"

  An older Iwagakushi Jōnin clenched his fists, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction with Chiyo, Sagakushi's senior adviser.

   "According to the message from Sagakure, it seems to be a well-designed conspiracy by Konoha, intending to use Hanzo's power to mess up the situation in the Land of Rain."

  "Hanzo is not a brainless person, he will not be the kind of person who is easily fooled. Now that he is fighting against Sand hidden, Chiyo must have touched his bottom line, otherwise he would not make such an unwise move."

  Looking at the helplessness and anger on the faces of many jounin, Onoki also knew how aggrieved and annoyed they were.

  The sudden intervention of Yun Yin and Yu Yin completely disrupted their joint layout of Yan Yin and Sand Yin, leading to the complete failure of their plan to invade the Fire Nation this year, and it is inevitable that they will complain in their hearts about Sand Yin's extraneous actions.

  Onoki coughed, and said to the fellow Iwagakushi who were doing the work: "The matter has come to this, we have to..."

   Onoki hadn't finished speaking, the curtain of the tent was blown up suddenly by the wind, a figure silently avoided the guards outside, and appeared in the field of vision of Onoki and other Iwagakure ninjas.

   "Your Majesty Dokage seems to be very distressed, how about it, do you want to start a new cooperation?"

  The figure stood still, with the corners of its mouth slightly raised, and smiled at Onogi who was sitting firmly on the chair.

"Who are you…"

  Many Iwagakushi shinobi here recognized the identity of the visitor at once.

  The other party is a young young woman with long black hair and pure white pupils are quite recognizable.

   This kind of eyes is the Kekeiji Genkai called 'White Eyes', which is unique to the Hyuga Clan of Konoha Ninja Village.

  Now that Konoha is fighting with them, Iwagakure, this woman cannot be a Konoha ninja.

  Although she has the surname Hyuga, she has long since departed from the clan and the village. She is now an extremely dangerous S-class defected ninja in the ninja world—Hyuga Ayane.

   "Hmph, come in without saying hello, young people nowadays really don't know what politeness is."

  Onoki sat on the chair, very dissatisfied with Ayane's uninvited approach, but he just gave a verbal lesson and expressed his opinion a little bit.

  After all, the cooperation last year, because of Ayane's intervention, caused the Konoha ninjas in the country of grass to suffer a lot, and even the root led by the ninja's darkness seemed to lose a lot of hands.

   For this powerful bounty hunter, Ohnoki doesn't mind what her past identity is, as long as it is not their Yanyin's rebellion, they can cooperate.

  Ayane didn't care about Onogi's preaching tone of relying on the old and selling the old, but just smiled and looked at Onogi.

   "Your Majesty Dokage is dissatisfied, so let me say sorry first."

   "Are you the only little girl? I remember that the other two in Bai Fang's team also defected to Konoha. Of course, that medical ninja is not important. It would be great if both Sharingan and Bai Yan could temporarily serve as Iwagakushi's power."

  Onoki did not hide his philistine face at all, with a sinister smile on his face.

   "Your Excellency Dokage is really greedy. Indeed, it is a fact that she is stronger than me. But she is not interested in being a bounty hunter. If she wants to hire her to assist Iwagakure, I can only say sorry to you again. I remember that I should have explained this matter to Huangtu Jonin before, and Master Dokage should not have such expectations."

   Ayane turned her head and thought for a while, then said to Onogi.

   "That's a pity. I really want to see what the combined power of Sharingan and Baiyan looks like."

   Ohnogi is really sorry about this.

  Sharingan is a blood successor limit that is as famous as Baiyan, and it has priority over Baiyan in terms of offensive ability.

   To a certain extent, these two blood inheritance boundaries can complement each other.

  If you can pull Sharingan and Baiyan to Yanyin's front at the same time, it will have a greater effect on Yanyin.

  Although it's a pity that the Sharingan ninja can't be won, but if Baiyan can also achieve good results for Iwagakure. Therefore, Onogi quickly picked up his mood and began to cooperate with Ayane in the form of employment.

  Ayane is no stranger to cooperating with Yan Yin. After all, this is not the first time they have cooperated. The employment contract has not changed from before, but the difficulty of the work for her has increased. Of course, as the difficulty of the work increases, the deposit and remuneration provided by Yan Yin will also increase accordingly.

  ◎

   "Damn Dokage! How shamelessly using rebellion to provoke!"

  On the conference table of Yunyin Camp, a man with dark skin angrily punched a big hole in the conference table with his fist, sending sawdust flying across the table.

   On the dark skin-wrapped muscles, dense lightning began to flash, and the hair stood up, and because the lightning was too dense, it spread out slightly.

   Witnessing this scene, Yunyin Jonin was shocked that he had such a powerful chakra.

   "Master Raikage, please calm down."

  In the conference room built of rocks, Yunyin Jōnin, about thirty years old, wearing a one-eyed mask, calmly spoke to persuade the angry Yunyin ninja.

   is also the fourth generation of Raikage of Yunyin Village.

  Early before the third generation of Raikage went to the Land of Earth, the candidate for the fourth generation of Raikage had already been determined through a high-level meeting.

  Therefore, Yunyin did not engage in brutal internal fighting because of the sacrifice of the third generation of Raikage, in order to compete for the position of the fourth generation of Raikage.

  This young man, who looked no older than thirty years old, was the fourth generation Raikage of Yun Yin. He is also the son of the three generations of Raikage who has been sacrificed, and his attainment in Raikage Ninjutsu is no less than that of his father, the third generation of Raikage when he was young.

   "How can this make me calm? As one of the Five Kages, Tsuchikage is so shameless to use the defecting ninja, it is really unforgivable! And what is going on with Konoha, why didn't you send hunting troops to wipe out the defecting ninja as soon as possible? Konoha must also be held accountable for this matter!"

  The fourth generation of Raikage's anger still persists.

  In the past few days, there have been frequent reports of attacks on the Yunyin patrol unit, and the person who started the attack was the S-class rebel Hyuga Ayane who had already confirmed his defection to Konoha.

  Because it was too coincidental to target the cloud hidden ninja, and the opponent had also assisted Iwa hidden in the battlefield of the country of grass before, the fourth Raikage could confirm that Hinata Ayane was once again hired by the Tsuchikage Ohnoki of the rock hidden, to target cloud hidden.

   "Although Dokage's actions are indeed tantamount to discrediting the 'Five Kages', now is not the time to pursue responsibility."

   "Of course I know about this kind of thing. Tutai, immediately mobilize the troops, I will kill that woman myself, and I can get a pair of supercilious eyes by the way."

  Fourth Raikage gave orders to Kumonin Jomin who was wearing a one-eyed mask.

  Amidst the anger, he also maintained a certain calmness. He also understands that this is not the time to pursue responsibility, but from another perspective, it is not entirely a bad thing for Bai Yan to appear on their Yunyin battlefield.

  If he could get these eyes, the previous losses would be completely negligible, and Yunyin would gain a lot.

   "It's too reckless to do so, Raikage-sama, the enemy's ability is still unknown."

   Tutai frowned.

  Although compared to the average jounin, the fourth generation of Raikage, who has just become Raikage, can indeed be called powerful. But compared to the dead three generations of Raikage, his strength is still a bit immature.

  According to some information that Yun Yin learned, Hyuga Ayane was in the Kingdom of Grass, and alone made the Konoha ninjas there suffer so much that she was almost forced to retreat to the Kingdom of Fire.

   It is said that he later encountered the encirclement and suppression of Genbu led by Shimura Danzo, the dark ninja, and survived unharmed. It also caused heavy losses to Konoha Genbu, and Shimura Danzo even lost an arm.

  Even if the specific details of the battle are not known, judging from the final result, the strength of the opponent is likely to be stronger than the fourth Raikage who just became Raikage.

   "I have my own opinion on this matter. Although my Lightning Chakra mode is still a bit behind Dad's, I have an advantage over Dad in terms of speed. Dad said that in the ninja world, no one can keep up with my speed."

  Fourth Raikage's tone was full of confidence in his own speed.

  His father, the third generation of Raikage, gave up some advantages in speed and concentrated his strength on defense and attack, thus achieving the reputation of the strongest shield and the strongest spear.

  But he is different. In the past, he knew that no matter how hard he exercised, his physical fitness could not be on par with his father's third generation Raikage. Therefore, at that time, he decided to give up certain defense and attack capabilities, and concentrate his advantages on the speed that he is best at.

  Tutai sighed helplessly, seeing that the Fourth Raikage had made up his mind, he knew that no matter how much he tried to dissuade him, it would be useless.

   Not only the fourth generation of Raikage, but also the third generation of Raikage who has died. Once things are decided with enthusiasm, it is difficult to reason with them.

  But also because of this vigorous and resolute attitude, the spirit of taking the lead in every battle can boost the morale of the Yunyin ninja to the greatest extent and defeat the enemy from the front.

   "I see, Raikage-sama. Since you are determined to do so, then let me follow you too. The other party is a ninja from the Hyuga clan. Her soft fist can ignore your Thunder Dungeon armor and hit the heart directly."

  The face of the soil platform is serious.

   Agreed to the willful request of the Fourth Raikage, but also in exchange for participating in the war together.

   "Up to you. Be quick, I can't wait to get those white eyes."

  Tutai nodded, and began to go down to select the elite ninjas of Yun Yin, and assist the fourth generation of Raikage to complete the white-eyed task of hunting.

  However, from the bottom of his heart, Tutai doesn't think this mission will be a great success.

  Master Raikage is still too impatient to do things. You should let the rest of the team go to test the opponent's ability first. Tutai sighed inwardly.

  ◎

   "Is this next?"

  In the forest of a huge island, Ayane avoided the eyes and ears of the patrolling ninjas around Yunyin, and started to move towards the destination.

  After several attacks, she has investigated the patrol pattern of Yunyin team. With the help of Baiyan, it is not difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of Yunyin ninja.

  Ayane started to go deep into the hinterland of the island according to the route map provided by Iwagakure.

  The white eyes are open, and everything within a radius of ten kilometers can be seen in full view.

   There are about a thousand cloud hidden ninjas gathered on this island.

  Half of the ninjas gathered in a camp, they should be protecting something important.

  Ayane knew very well that it was the Yunyin supply point marked on the road map.

  In order to obtain the information of this supply point, Yan Yin sacrificed a total of more than a dozen earth escape ninjas who were proficient in sneaking, and finally locked the location of this supply point.

   In the final analysis, ninjas are only fighting economic warfare.

  If the battle is not dominated by annihilation, destroying the enemy's supply points at the lowest cost is undoubtedly a common tactic for winning a war.

   During the Second Ninja World War, Konoha also adopted this tactic in the battle against Sand Hidden.

"Um?"

  In the process of moving forward, Ayane suddenly noticed a very abnormal chakra among thousands of cloud hidden ninjas.

  The incomparably huge amount of chakra suddenly overshadowed all the cloud hidden ninjas, and became the main target of Baiyan.

   "Tail beast? No, it should be a little bit worse."

  Ayane has seen the power of the tailed beast.

  The Chakra of this cloud hidden ninja, although it cannot be compared with the tail beast, it is definitely not far behind.

  Ayane was a little surprised that this cloud hidden ninja had such a huge amount of chakra, and the same was true of the three generations of Raikage who had sneaked before.

  The chakra is so huge that it can be mistaken for a tailed beast.

   Fighting with thousands of Iwagakure ninjas for twenty-six hours, keeping the Lightning Chakra mode fully activated, and finally died of exhaustion.

   It can be called a walking human-tailed beast.

   I didn't expect to meet another ninja with the same huge chakra here.

   "Did you spot me?"

   The corners of Ayane's mouth raised slightly, revealing a calm smile.

  With his white eyes, he could intuitively see that this cloud ninja with huge chakra was rushing towards him at a very exaggerated speed.

   This is also expected by Ayane. After all, he has already penetrated into such a place, and there must be powerful perception ninjas around to prevent the enemy from sneaking into important supply points.

  The sound of the wind whizzed by my ears, and I kept increasing my foot speed. The soles of my feet stepped on the branches of the trees. Ayane took a deep breath, and the chakra began to run at high speed in the body.

   "Empty palm!"

  The shells formed by the air directly hit the face of the person coming.

  Intense electric light flickered on the opponent's body for an instant, and the body surface was covered with an extremely thick layer of blue chakra feathers. In Ayane's widened eyes, he disappeared from sight.

  The air cannonball hit a distant tree, broke with the sound, and hit the ground, causing dust to fly.

  Ayane lowered her head quickly, and the ninja Yunyin, whose whole body was flashing with lightning, cut a few hairs off Ayane's bowed head with a knife, and fell to the ground.

   Ayane jumped to the side, keeping a safe distance from the Yunyin ninja, posing with a soft fist, her gaze slightly fixed.

  This Yunyin ninja has condensed muscles all over his body. He is tall and has the usual dark skin in the Land of Thunder. He looks a few years older than himself. There are extremely terrifying blue lightning attached to his chakra feather coat, densely flickering non-stop.

   "Who did I think it was? Isn't this Yun Yin's new fourth Raikage? No wonder there is such an exaggerated speed, I almost didn't realize it just now."

   Ayane smiled and recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

  Although he is the new Raikage, he is also a ninja named "Five Kages". The moment he succeeds the fourth Raikage, his personal information has already spread in the ninja world.

  In the intelligence department of Oni Land, there is also a lot of information about this fourth Raikage.

   Like his father Raikage, he is a tricky ninja who is very good at Raikage Ninjutsu.

  Based on the split-second fight just now, Ayane judged that the speed of the Fourth Raikage was higher than that of his father, the Third Raikage.

   "Being able to dodge my attack in the first place, it seems that you, a woman, are not just fighting with white eyes. I won't miss the next blow."

  Seeing with the eyes, and whether the body can react quickly at the moment of seeing his attack are two different things.

  The fourth generation of Raikage has a serious face, with a nerve response speed comparable to his own, and with the all-round observation ability without dead ends like white eyes, this woman is very troublesome.
