Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

Ai slammed his fist on the table.

This time he restrained his strength and did not damage the table.

The reason why peacekeeping forces act so recklessly is ultimately because Konoha (the Leaf Village) stands behind them.

With Konoha as their support and backing, and the peacekeeping forces as their henchmen, they dare to act so recklessly.

"Strength! The root of everything is strength!"

We must improve the strength of Kumogakure!

We need an arms race!

We absolutely cannot lose to Konoha!

"Mabui, pass on my orders. From today onward, every ninja in the village must train for ten, no! Twelve hours every day! No slacking off is allowed!"

Mabuyi, holding the documents, swallowed hard.

"Is this too much?"

Twelve hours of training every day means that, apart from eating and drinking, the ninjas of Kumogakure spend all their time training.

They are human beings, not machines; they won't be able to handle it.

"With Konoha lurking outside, and unable to withstand even a mere twelve hours of training, this kind of coward is not needed by Kumogakure!"

Ai's attitude was tough.

He slammed both hands heavily on the Raikage's desk, causing spiderweb-like cracks to spread across it.

Mabuyi immediately swallowed the words of comfort he was about to say and silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

If we anger the Raikage again, we'll probably have to get a new Raikage desk.

"Understood, Lord Raikage. I will immediately relay your orders."

Mabuyi is gone.

After doing all this, Ai's sense of urgency was not relieved. After thinking it over, he ordered someone to bring Troy to him.

A few minutes later, a bewildered Troy arrived at the Thunder Shadow's Chamber.

"You're looking for me, Lord Raikage."

Troy is a Magnet Release ninja from Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) who possesses the extremely rare Kekkei Genkai, Magnet Release.

In terms of appearance, they are also different from ordinary ninjas.

His short purple hair is unique, and his dead fish eyes can rival Kakashi's. What's most distinctive is his eyelids; under each eyelid grows three short, black eyelashes.

This gave him an extra touch of smugness to his handsome appearance.

"Troy, I plan to give you special training."

Ai pondered for a moment before expressing his thoughts.

"Special training???"

Troy was dumbfounded. Although he was a Magnet Release ninja, he had never undergone any so-called special training. What was the Raikage thinking, suddenly wanting to train him?

"That's right, Troy, the potential of Magnet Release is far more than that!"

Ai's serious gaze showed absolutely no hint of joking.

His voice was earnest.

"Your potential deserves to be further developed, Troy. I will teach you the Lightning Release Chakra Mode and personally train you! Become stronger, Troy, strong enough to rival Namikaze Mirai!"

"What...me?"

Confused!

Troy was completely dumbfounded!

To contend with the future of Namikaze, that's the question. Is he capable of doing it?

What a joke!

Namikaze's future achievements were enough to make him shudder. To oppose him was insane!

Troy even began to suspect that the Raikage had developed mental problems after experiencing numerous failures, and was gradually losing the ability to distinguish between fantasy and reality!

With Namikaze Mirai's strength, he could probably crush him with a single finger!

"Believe in yourself, Troy!"

Sensing the change in Troy's emotions, Ai's expression suddenly became serious. Although his words were encouraging, his tone carried an undeniable firmness.

"Okay, okay..."

Troy felt a chill run down his spine.

Based on his understanding of the Raikage's domineering nature, if he refused now, he might be met with a furious punch from the Raikage, who would rebuke him for being unworthy of being a Cloud Ninja and for having lost his fighting spirit.

I don't understand.

I really don't understand.

How did the Raikage figure out that his Magnet Release could rival Namikaze Mirai's Magnet Release?

Mirai Namikaze's Magnet Release is simply beyond comprehension!

The Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure suffered a crushing defeat and was utterly humiliated when he fought against Mirai Namikaze.

After the war, he was so ashamed that he went insane.

Troy knew that his Magnet Release was no match for the Fourth Kazekage.

It's passable for playing with shuriken and making turns.

If you were to face Namikaze Mirai, you wouldn't even know how you died!

Unlike Troy's despair, Ai looked confident.

Since they are both magnetic escape techniques, the difference lies in the level of development.

As long as development continues uninterrupted, the true power of Magnetism will surely be unearthed!

Moreover, he had already decided to teach the Lightning Release Chakra Mode to Troy.

When fighting, Namikaze Mirai's body is surrounded by arcs of lightning, which is very similar to Lightning Release Chakra Mode. She also uses Magnet Release abilities.

Troy + Lightning Release Chakra Mode + Magnet Release = Namikaze Mirai

No problem!

"Troy! Don't let me down!"

Feeling the force of the rough hand slapping his shoulder, Troy was on the verge of tears; at that moment, he felt like dying.

How did coming to the Raikage's room for no reason lead to such a big problem?

Troy left with tears in his eyes.

Ai is still pondering the path to becoming stronger.

These two alone are not enough; Kumogakure needs to be strengthened!

After much deliberation, Ai turned his attention to military equipment.

Compared to Konoha, Kumogakure's military supplies were as backward as those of primitive people.

A company came to Ai's mind.

"It seems I'll have to pay a personal visit to Umbrella Healthcare this time."

If we can acquire this company, with its many emerging products, we can definitely elevate the strength of Hidden Cloud Village to a new level.

Not long ago, he purchased a large quantity of new medicinal liquid.

According to intelligence at the time, the headquarters of Umbrella Corporation seemed to be located in the Land of Waterfalls.

Acquiring the other party requires a huge amount of capital.

You can ask Da Ming for help with this.

Ever since Namikaze Mirai killed the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and established a new national system integrating government and political power, the Daimyo of the ninja world have lived in constant fear, dreading the day they would be killed by their own ninja village.

That is why the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning responded quite readily to the financial demands made by the Hidden Cloud Village.

If the daimyo wants to keep Kumogakure on his side, he can't be stingy with financial support.

"How can I thank you enough, Konoha? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get so much funding so easily."

Ai revealed a cold smile.

With enough money and a little pressure, acquiring a pharmaceutical company is a piece of cake.

The country of Taki.

Umbrella Pharmaceutical Company headquarters.

Kyoko Sakai, who was in charge of overseeing the operation of the medical company and delivering the pharmaceutical products to the ninja world, looked at the acquisition letter from Kumogakure with a look of astonishment and disbelief.

"Has the Raikage gone mad?! He actually wants to acquire the company?"

Does he know who is actually controlling the company behind us?
