From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 139 Two choices
Rumble——!
Thunder roared across the sky, and terrifying wind pressure continued to approach.

In an instant, the Raikage's speed reached its limit. The Lightning Release Armor covering the Raikage collided and rubbed violently with the airflow, causing ripples to spread out and bursting out with a piercing sonic boom.

As the atmosphere was torn apart, it turned a fiery red, and a meteor trailed a long tail, followed by a ring of sonic booms that kept exploding, creating visible shockwaves. The terrifying howls shattered the windows of houses along the way, and countless civilians covered their ears in pain.

The next moment, the Raikage made a stunning entrance, smashing through the wall next to him and appearing in his office.

"Konoha ninja, state your names!"

The Raikage stared ahead at the ninja sitting in his chair with his legs propped up on the table, and said, barely suppressing his anger.

His eyes, like copper bells, were wide open in anger. His pale yellow hair stood on end like steel needles under the stimulation of lightning. His muscles were hard and bronze in color, twisted and coiled like tree roots, with dark veins bulging. A fierce and oppressive aura made people feel as if they were facing a thunderbolt!
“Owl, that’s my code name.”

Uchiha Muneki put down the scroll and straightened his posture: "As for my name, I am just an insignificant ninja, so there is no need to mention it."

White animal mask, black robe, short black hair.

Combining the three pieces of information above, the Raikage quickly remembered the intelligence that Kurabi had brought back yesterday.

A ninja from the Uchiha clan's Anbu guerrilla unit suddenly appeared while they were besieging the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and single-handedly slaughtered forty-seven Cloud Ninja with extremely cruel methods.

Khurabhi, who witnessed the entire process, suffered immense emotional trauma and became despondent.

"Oh it's you!"

The Raikage clenched his fist, his eyes flashing with coldness: "You've killed so many Cloud Ninja, yet you still dare to show your face in front of me!"

"It's down."

Uchiha Munetsuki nodded slightly, acknowledging that it was him: "So, Raikage, are you planning to avenge them?"

"You're really brave, young man."

The Raikage's gaze fell on the scroll, his anger growing stronger: "Since the founding of Kumogakure, you are the first ninja to break in."

"Really? Looks like I'm lucky, I'm the first one."

Uchiha Muneki crossed his arms, his voice flat, and chuckled, "By the way, your village's ninjutsu is truly exquisite, especially its research and utilization of acupoints, meridians, and muscles. In my opinion, it can definitely be called the best in the ninja world."

"Have you finished spouting your nonsense?"

Lightning surged around Raikage, leaping violently in the air and exuding an aura of destruction.

"No, and I advise Lord Raikage to calm down."

Uchiha Munetsuki chuckled, tilting his head slightly, and said in a playful tone, "If you hurt me, a tailed beast might just pop out somewhere in the village later."

"What did you say?!"

The Raikage's usually calm expression finally showed a slight ripple.

Immediately, a look of intense anger flashed between his brows, and the lightning around him seemed to become even more violent under the influence of his emotions.

There is no doubt that this is a threat to him!
Moreover, this bastard used the tailed beast jinchūriki to treat the entire Hidden Cloud Village as a threat!
"Calm down, calm down, Lord Raikage."

At this moment, Uchiha Munetsuki had the upper hand and was not afraid of the Raikage's power at all. He continued, "Don't look at me like that. If our positions were reversed, you would probably understand my actions, right?"

"You brat, you're asking for death!"

Raikage's eyes widened like copper bells, and a chilling killing intent filled the entire room.

His muscles vibrated, fully activated by the lightning. With just a simple step, his bones and muscles crackled and popped as if a bowstring had exploded.

"Did you really think this through before you took action?"

Uchiha Munetsuki rested his cheek on his hand and said meaningfully, "Is it really worth it to trade the safety of the entire village for my life?"

In the Raikage's eyes, his entire body was riddled with weaknesses. He showed absolutely no intention of resisting, yet Uchiha Munetsuki remained, smiling confidently.

The reason he did this was not because he was arrogant or conceited, but because he had calculated everything correctly.

If it were that hothead Fourth Raikage, he certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to use this move. After all, who knows if the other person would just stubbornly attack him head-on?

But if it's the Third Raikage, then it's a completely different story.

Despite his burly appearance and seemingly careless demeanor, the Third Raikage is actually a very thoughtful person.

The appearance of the tailed beast directly in the village will bring devastating disaster!

Even if they manage to stop the Tailed Beasts in the end, it will cause huge casualties to the Hidden Cloud Village, and countless civilians will die tragically.

Uchiha Muneki's actions effectively tied the entire village to his cause.

For a moment, Raikage was caught in a dilemma.

His intuition told him that he should take action immediately and kill this damned brat in front of him, otherwise there would be endless trouble!
However, Raikage's rationality stopped this impulsive thought in time.

The Raikage found it unacceptable that thousands, even tens of thousands, of civilian lives were lost for the sake of a mere ninja.

"Lord Raikage!"

"Someone broke in!"

"kill him!"

Outside the door were the elite troops of the Cloud Ninja, who were about to rush in and kill this arrogant and conceited fellow.

"Your men have arrived, Lord Raikage."

Uchiha Munetsuki shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "Then, make your choice, Raikage-sama."

Lei Ying waved his hand, his gloomy eyes like knives, scrutinizing him several times before roaring at the door, "Everyone, don't move!"

The Cloud Ninja who came to provide support were completely bewildered.

Although they didn't know why the Raikage would issue this order, they still chose to carry it out.

So, a group of Jonin from Kumogakure stood at the door, eyeing the Konoha Anbu sitting in the Raikage's seat with a burning hatred.

"Kid, your target is Minato Namikaze, isn't it?"

Lei Ying's face darkened, his eyes growing increasingly menacing. He cut to the chase, saying, "Enough with the nonsense, let's get straight to the point."

"Oh?"

Uchiha Munetsuki showed interest and listened attentively: "Please speak."

"Since you've given me two choices, I'll give you two choices in return."

The Raikage sat down beside him with an air of superiority, one hand supporting his chin, staring at him indifferently: "Either I release Minato Namikaze and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and you stay; or you release the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and then I will kill you, Minato Namikaze, and the Jinchuriki."

"That's right, very fair."

Uchiha Muneki nodded and said with a smile, "Some people say that life is a series of choices. What do you think?"

Lei Ying slightly raised his eyelids, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, almost tangible: "It's obvious, you drew the Joker card."

There will be another chapter later.
