Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

Yunyin Village.

The Thunder Chamber, built on a towering mountain peak.

A, the then Fourth Raikage, stared into deep thought as he looked at the Konoha intelligence on the Raikage's desk.

Danzo is dead.

Its roots were also almost completely destroyed, rendering it virtually defunct.

Konoha is now almost missing an arm.

This caused Konoha, which was already in a slump, to suffer another significant drop in combat power.

Ai's heart was stirring with desire.

Facing Konoha, which was at its weakest since the village's founding, he found it difficult to suppress his inner desires.

The Hidden Cloud Village has always wanted to replace the Hidden Leaf Village and become the leader of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

The two villages had a long-standing feud. Not long ago, the delegation he sent to Konoha to sign a peace treaty was all killed by Minato's brother.

It was undoubtedly a slap in the face, a hard blow to his cheek!

He afterwards strongly demanded that Hiruzen Sarutobi take responsibility for the incident, even threatening war to exert pressure.

It had been agreed that the corpse of the Hyuga clan leader would be used in the exchange.

Ultimately, for reasons unknown, Konoha has yet to send Hiashi Hyuga's body.

The letters urging Konoha to respond almost all went unanswered.

He was seething with intense anger.

It's just that they lack an outlet for their frustration.

"With the strength of Kumogakure, defeating Konoha in its current state would be a piece of cake."

A sinister smile appeared in Lei Ying Ai's eyes.

Unlike the decline of Konoha, Kumogakure has now reached a whole new level of strength.

The village has two Jinchūriki, Yugito, the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails, and his younger brother, Hi, the Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails, both of whom are perfect Jinchūriki.

Able to perfectly utilize the power of the Tailed Beasts!

In contrast, Konoha's only Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is still a three-year-old child.

According to intelligence reports, it even fell into the hands of the Uchiha clan.

ridiculous!

Hiruzen Sarutobi guarded his Jinchuriki his whole life, only to have them taken over by the Uchiha clan, who were constantly suppressing and on guard against him.

Absurd and laughable.

This further fueled Ai's contempt for the current state of Konoha.

The only thing to be wary of is the future of the ripples.

Minato's younger brother, Blue Flash.

During the Third Shinobi World War, Yellow Flash Minato was on the battlefield in the Land of Lightning, while his younger brother Blue Flash was on the battlefield in the Land of Wind.

Therefore, Ai has never personally fought against Namikaze Mirai.

However, judging from the intelligence that has been transmitted back, this is a very terrifying enemy.

It is definitely not below the water gate.

After fighting him, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa suffered a mental breakdown and nearly went insane.

Danzo was also killed by him.

If this person joins the war, it will be a considerable problem.

However, A was not worried. With two perfect Jinchuriki and his own presence, he could turn around any unexpected situation.

"In this battle, I have the advantage!"

After thoroughly analyzing the situation, Ai let out a long sigh of relief.

"The ninja world has been peaceful for too long; it's time to add some spice."

He glanced at the peace agreement previously signed with Konoha on the Raikage's desk, scoffed, picked it up, and tore it in half.

……

The news of Kumogakure's declaration of war reached Konoha in no time.

Hokage Building.

The air in the conference room was heavy, as if frozen, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

The Konoha executives at both ends of the conference table all had somber expressions and remained silent.

"Gentlemen, the Hidden Cloud Village has declared war..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, sitting at the top of the Hokage's table, sighed with mixed emotions.

The executives at the conference table exchanged various glances; some were resentful, some were angry, and some sighed…

"The fact that the Hidden Cloud Village declared war at this time must mean that they saw through the current predicament of the Hidden Leaf Village."

"Nara clan chief Nara Shikaku said in a deep voice."

As the head of the Nara clan and a figure akin to a strategist in Konoha, he was momentarily at a loss for what to do in this situation.

Konoha's strength was already low, and with Danzo's recent death, Root was practically defunct.

With one arm severed, Konoha is hardly a match for Kumogakure.

If war breaks out, we will likely be immediately put in a passive position.

"If you ask me, all of this is the fault of Namikaze Mirai. If he hadn't killed the entire Kumogakure delegation and then killed Danzo a few days ago, Kumogakure wouldn't have started the war."

The speaker was a Jonin from the Sarutobi clan.

His tone was filled with resentment and anger.

It was as if they harbored some deep-seated grudge against Namikaze Mirai.

"Indeed, Konoha's current predicament is inextricably linked to Namikaze Mirai!"

The response came from another Jonin, also from the Sarutobi clan.

Led by these Sarutobi clan ninjas, the conference room soon became filled with many critical voices criticizing Namikaze Mirai.

The tone of his words implied that Namikaze Mirai was the culprit behind all of this.

Just as they were venting their emotions.

boom!

The conference room door was blasted open!

Debris flew everywhere, and dust billowed up.

A moment of silence fell over the conference room. The executives at the conference table instinctively looked toward the door that had been flung open.

The churning dust gradually subsided.

Upon seeing the person's appearance, the Sarutobi clansmen, who had just been cursing Namikaze Mirai, immediately turned pale with fright and their lips trembled.

"Namikaze Mirai..."

The person who blasted open the conference room door was none other than Namikaze Mirai!

Thinking of Namikaze's infamous reputation, he was so frightened that he couldn't utter a single word.

"Future, how did you get here?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had a bad feeling.

With such a powerful debut, what exactly is Mikami Namikaze planning?

Without giving him a direct answer, Namikaze Mirai's gaze swept calmly across the conference table.

"I heard that the Hidden Cloud Village has declared war."

The senior executives at the conference table exchanged bewildered glances.

Although he didn't say anything, his expression said it all.

"Ha, is a small village like Kumogakure worth your pessimism?"

A hint of disdain flashed in Miki Namikaze's eyes as she scanned the executives around the conference table.

The ninja he struck.

They all lowered their heads in shame.

In Konoha, the only person who would dare to look down on Kumogakure like this is probably Mirai Namikaze.

"I will take action in this battle."

After saying that, Mirai Namikaze turned and left.

For some reason, after hearing his words, many of the high-level executives, who had previously been pessimistic, suddenly felt relieved.
