The Fourth Raikage's words made a lot of sense, but they weren't bold enough.
He had no idea what Uchiha Shin had done after surrounding the Capital of the Land of Fire.
However, his subordinates were greatly shocked and enlightened by his words!
As expected of the Fourth Raikage, his vision was far superior to theirs.
They only saw that Uchiha Shin was very powerful now, so they didn't dare to rashly go to war with Konoha.
But the Fourth Raikage saw the future.
If they didn't sanction Uchiha Shin now, they probably wouldn't have the ability to do so in the future!
"Fourth Raikage, you are right! However, your subordinate believes that we still cannot act rashly. After all, Konoha under Uchiha Shin's leadership is indeed very strong. Our Kumogakure may not be able to defeat Konoha. And even if we could, it would likely be a pyrrhic victory."
"In that case, the other ninja villages would be able to reap the benefits! So, I suggest that we unite with the major ninja villages and attack Konoha together!"
Dodai said.
"Unite with the major ninja villages? Not to mention whether it would be successful, even if it could, it would take too much time! As the saying goes, speed is paramount in war! How about this, we first send troops to attack the Land of Fire."
"At the same time, we send a letter to Iwagakure and Sunagakure, inviting them to carve up the Land of Fire together! And jointly confront Konoha!"
The Fourth Raikage said in a deep voice.
"Lord Fourth is wise!!"
Hearing this, everyone began to flatter the Fourth Raikage.
"Now, I command."
The Fourth Raikage stood up.
The high-ranking officials of Kumogakure looked solemn.
"In half an hour, we will send troops to the Land of Fire!"
The Fourth Raikage's gaze swept over the high-ranking officials, his attitude serious.
"Yes!!"
Everyone responded in unison and began to act!
A few hours later, it was still early morning.
After Uchiha Shin had dealt with Tsunade, he pulled Shizune into the side palace.
Iwagakure!
The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki's home.
A knock suddenly came from Onoki's bedroom door.
"Who is it??"
The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, was perhaps getting old, so he was a light sleeper.
After hearing the knock, he immediately woke up.
"Father, it's me!"
Kitsuchi's voice came from outside the door.
"What is it?"
Onoki called out.
"Father, an urgent letter has arrived from Kumogakure!"
Hearing this, Onoki's sleepiness vanished.
He immediately got up from the bed, opened the bedroom door, and saw Kitsuchi standing outside with a letter.
"Give me the letter!"
Onoki said, snatching the letter from Kitsuchi's hand.
Without a word, he opened it and began to read it carefully.
After reading the contents of the letter, Onoki's expression changed several times, a truly spectacular sight.
"Father, what does the letter say?"
Seeing Onoki's colorful expression, Kitsuchi was extremely curious.
"Kumogakure wants to invite us to carve up the Land of Fire together and jointly deal with Konoha!"
Onoki didn't hide it from his eldest son and said directly.
"Then, should we agree?"
Kitsuchi asked quickly.
"Agree, why not agree!! Uchiha Shin is too great a threat. We must get rid of him as soon as possible!"
Onoki said in a deep voice.
"Then we'll gather our men immediately!"
Kitsuchi said in a deep voice.
"Go!!"
Onoki waved his hand, signaling for Kitsuchi to get busy.
After Kitsuchi left, Onoki looked up at the night sky.
"I hope we can eliminate the threat of Uchiha Shin this time!"
Sunagakure!
Rasa was still awake, dealing with official business.
As a Kage, Rasa's methods and wisdom might not be that great, but it was undeniable that he was hardworking.
At this moment, the door to the Kazekage's office was suddenly knocked.
Rasa raised an eyebrow.
It was so late, why would someone still be looking for him?
"Come in!"
Although he was thinking this, Rasa still let the person in.
Soon, the office door was opened, and a ninja walked in.
"Lord Fourth, this is an urgent letter from Kumogakure!"
"Oh?"
Rasa raised an eyebrow, took the letter from the ninja, and opened it directly, reading it carefully.
"Immediately summon all Jonin to the meeting room for a meeting!"
After reading the letter, Rasa stood up abruptly, his face full of excitement.
"Yes!!"
The ninja hadn't expected Rasa's reaction to be so strong, but he reacted quickly and disappeared from the Kazekage's office.
Half an hour later!
Kazekage's building, a certain meeting room!!
"Rasa, what on earth do you want, summoning us here in the middle of the night?"
Chiyo's younger brother, Ebizo, asked with some displeasure.
"That's right! Fourth, couldn't you have told us tomorrow? Why did you have to summon us at this time!"
"You don't sleep, but we need to sleep!!"
"Exactly, I was just about to have a child with my wife, and now I've lost all interest!"
Facing everyone's complaints, Rasa felt no shame.
Instead, he pushed the letter in his hand forward.
"I know it's a bit rude to disturb everyone's sleep at this time, but after you read this letter, you'll know why I summoned you so urgently!!"
Rasa said.
"Who's it from?"
Chiyo asked.
"Kumogakure!"
Rasa said.
Everyone's expression froze.
They stopped complaining about Rasa and started reading the letter.
After reading the contents, everyone's expressions were a sight to behold.
"Lord Fourth, is the content of the letter credible??"
"It should be credible."
Rasa said in a deep voice.
"Kumogakure has no reason to lie to us at this time."
"Makes sense!!"
Everyone nodded.
"As the saying goes, speed is paramount in war. I want to immediately send troops to attack the Land of Fire. What are your thoughts on this??"
Rasa's gaze swept over everyone and finally landed on Chiyo.
The others naturally had no objection to Rasa's proposal, so they also turned their gazes to Chiyo to see what she thought.
"I have no objection to this either."
After a moment of silence, Chiyo responded.
Phew--!
Hearing this, Rasa let out a long sigh of relief.
It seemed his decision was not wrong.
He had been so criticized by Chiyo before that he had almost lost his confidence.
Now he could finally regain some of it.
"Alright, since no one has any objections, it's decided. Baki!"
Rasa made the final decision.
"Present!"
Baki stood up immediately.
"Immediately gather the troops. In two hours, we will march to the Land of Fire!"
Rasa said in a deep voice.
Baki was Rasa's most trusted person, so Rasa usually entrusted him with most matters.
"Yes!"
After responding, Baki turned and left the meeting room.
"Granny Chiyo, this time, you will also accompany me."
Rasa said in a deep voice.
"No problem!"
Chiyo nodded.
One wave had not yet subsided, and another had risen.
An even more terrifying storm was brewing, just waiting to erupt.
