The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

"Tsk, the environment here in the Land of Wind is as terrible as ever!" Standing on the tallest building in the Land of Wind's branch, he complained about the feeling of the sand and wind hitting his face.

"If only the First Hokage had built the village in the Land of Wind," Chiyo remarked wistfully beside her.

The Land of Wind was practically drooling over Hashirama Senju's Wood Release techniques. Unfortunately, they simply couldn't defeat him; otherwise, they would have loved to seize it and improve the Land of Wind's environment and landscape.

"When the caster removes the spell, those trees will wither and die, don't you know that?" After looking at the scene of yellow sand filling the sky, she glanced at Shikaku, who was looking down guiltily.

"Tsk, you've got some ambition, Shikaku," Baiyue said again.

"…I'm so ashamed…" After a few awkward laughs, Shikaku immediately cupped his hands and said, "I just thought you should have a solution…"

"Alright, let's make that the theme for this celebration." With that, Bai Yue soared into the air.

"Super Tree World Descends!" With a clap of his hands, whatever he shouted came to pass!

In an instant, with the boundary of the Wind Kingdom branch as the anchor point, a dense forest instantly rose up in the area within a kilometer radius.

Under normal circumstances, these trees would wither and die after the chakra is cut off. It wouldn't be a big problem if they were used to build houses, but they would be useless as windbreaks.

Compared to the branches above ground, the roots underground are even more violent, penetrating not only sand and soil, but also rock strata.

It displays a ferocious and violent nature.

"Finally found it!" Bai Yue breathed a sigh of relief after discovering the underground river.

This is too much trouble!

Fortunately, it was resolved. After sealing away some of the chakra and a little bit of Yang Release life force, they stopped.

"Take good care of it from now on."

"Yes!" Ebizo said gratefully.

Although the barren Land of Wind has oases, it has never had such a large forest.

For other countries, a forest is nothing special, but in the Land of Wind, it is a matter of vital importance to people's livelihoods!

Not only was Ebizo excited, but after witnessing such a "miracle," cheers resounded throughout the entire Wind Country branch after a brief moment of stunned silence!

And so, today's grand feast officially begins!

The atmosphere far surpassed the previous barbecue banquet at the Land of Water branch.

On the other side~

In the Hidden Stone Village, Onoki's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

The trouble they caused initially went relatively well; at least the first attack on the Land of Water was quite successful.

However, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, as both the mercenaries and some of the ninjas from their village disappeared.

And now we've heard even worse news!

"What did you say? Say it again!" Onoki asked angrily, staring intently at the ninja who came to report.

"Lord Old Purple, he..." the Iwa ninja ANBU who came to report said in a panic.

"Damn it!" Onoki slammed his hand on the table, furious. "Explain yourself! I need a detailed report!"

"All the Anbu near Lord Roshi were killed. By the time our unit realized something was wrong and rushed to Lord Roshi's hiding place, only large areas of water-style trappings remained. Lord Roshi had vanished without a trace..."

"Water Release! Water Release..." Onoki paced back and forth, his eyes filled with anger, urgency, and a hint of confusion.

Why would they attack a Jinchūriki?!

Are they from Konoha?

Onoki immediately suspected the now incredibly powerful Konoha.

Konoha, having successively destroyed Sunagakure and Kirigakure, had both the ability and the motive to take action against their Jinchūriki, whether it was to weaken Iwagakure's strength, for revenge, or for other reasons.

"Contact Yun..." Onoki, who was about to give the order, suddenly stopped. After a moment of silence, he changed his mind and said, "Akatsuchi, go and find Han first."

"Yes!" Upon receiving the order, Akatsuchi immediately set out.

"..." Watching Akatsuchi's departing figure, Onoki sighed deeply.

Although he disagreed with Rōshi and often argued with him, Rōshi was still one of the top fighters in Iwagakure and a Jinchūriki with wide-range destructive power.

But now, Lao Zi has suddenly been attacked and disappeared, his fate unknown.

This left Onoki feeling uneasy. He stared blankly out the window, lost in thought.

However, not long after, Akatsuchi returned in a hurry, bringing him even worse news.

"Lord Tsuchikage, Lord Han... have also gone missing! And there are signs of battle at the scene!" Akatsuchi knelt on the ground, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, and said in a heavy tone.

Compared to Lao Zi, who lived in seclusion in a relatively remote area, Han, although also living outside the village, was not far away.

However, they didn't hear a sound at all! This is a bit unsettling.

This demonstrates that the enemy's strength is overwhelmingly powerful; otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to capture Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, from such close range without anyone noticing.

"..." Akatsuchi's report made Onoki's face darken even more!

"Contact Kumogakure! Get them to put pressure on Konoha and make sure they release Rōshi and Han." Ōnoki was silent for a moment, convinced that Konoha had captured the two Jinchūriki in retaliation for their attacks on Sunagakure and Kirigakure.

"Yes!" Akatsuchi set off immediately.

"Wait! I'll write a letter for you to deliver to the Raikage!" Onoki stopped Akatsuchi again, then returned to his desk and began writing with a serious expression.

On the other side~

In the Land of Rain, two Jinchūriki have already met a tragic end, their tailed beasts absorbed by the giant Gedo Mazo.

"That's amazing! Now all that's missing are the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails from Kumogakure, the Seven-Tails from Takigakure, and the..." Black Zetsu suppressed his excitement.

After a thousand years, this is the closest we've ever come to success!

"But..." Black Zetsu's heart sank at the thought of Konoha's Nine-Tails: "Damn descendants of Hamura!"

The overwhelming power of Hyuga Hakugetsu, especially his mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique, made it impossible for them to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki under his protection.

The thought of this made him grit his teeth in anger!

If all else fails, go find Orochimaru!

"What are you thinking about?!" Deidara slapped Black Zetsu on the back and asked curiously.

"I'm thinking about how to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki," Black Zetsu said irritably.

While he was having an internal brainstorming session, frantically trying to find a way out of the predicament, he was almost scared to death by Deidara.

"I'm not going to Konoha anyway!" Black Zetsu's words immediately reminded Deidara of the berserk White Moon, whose absurd Wood Release technique left a deep impression on him.

The overwhelming barrage of punches would definitely turn his small frame into a bloody pulp!

"..." Black Zetsu remained silent.
