The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

"Pass down the order! Have all the unit leaders assemble!" White Zetsu, who had replaced Akatsuchi, immediately commanded, "We must cooperate with those attackers and teach Konoha a lesson they won't forget."

"Hehe...Yes, sir!" The new messenger, upon receiving the order, muttered to himself, "I should have replaced Akatsuchi! How prestigious that would have been!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work!"

"All right……"

At the Iwa ninja front, with the unanimous agreement of several replaced Iwa ninja high-ranking officials, the Iwa ninja joined the war!

The successive attacks ignited the fury of the Konoha ninja.

If the attacks by those ragtag ninja forces that were not strong but had excellent stealth capabilities left the Konoha ninja bewildered and furious, then the participation of the Iwa ninja was undoubtedly like pouring gasoline on a bonfire!

Whether it was the Konoha ninja with high morale or the Sand and Mist ninja who had been recruited, everyone was burning with rage!

The former Sand Ninja and the former Mist Ninja were especially enraged.

Damn it! We're so strong now, and instead of defending ourselves or surrendering, you bunch of weaklings dare to attack us?!

Do you look down on Konoha? Or do you look down on us?!

If we don't teach you a lesson, you bunch of bastard Iwa ninja will really think we're made of clay.

The enraged Konoha ninja's counterattack was powerful and deadly!

Originally, Konoha was the strongest ninja village. Even though it had been badly damaged by the Konoha F4, it was still a giant, and it wouldn't be afraid to fight the Iwa ninjas one-on-one.

Not to mention that the current Konoha is a three-in-one golden legend! The value of a three-star Konoha is absolutely undeniable!

In a short time, the Iwa ninja, who was fighting three against one, was forced into a retreat.

What? A ragtag ninja army?

Although the ragtag ninja army caused Konoha a lot of trouble, it was almost completely wiped out by the three-star Konoha!

When news of the battle between the two villages spread.

Everyone was stunned!

"What did you say?!" Onoki lost his composure once again, still staring intently at the ninja who had come to deliver the information.

"Lord Tsuchikage..." The poor Iwa ninja was so scared he almost peed himself, trembling and crying with a mournful face.

"Impossible! Something's not right! Akatsuchi would never disobey my orders, there must be something going on here!" Fortunately, Onoki immediately realized that something was wrong.

Onoki trusted Akatsuchi very much; otherwise, he wouldn't have made him his bodyguard!

In fact, if it weren't for Akatsuki's lack of responsibility and vision as a Kage, he would have wanted to pass the position to Akatsuki. Hmm… Huangtu felt the same way. After all, in terms of strength, neither of them was inferior.

However, the news we have now received is that Akatsuchi disobeyed his orders and went to war with Konoha!

"Someone! Recall... no! Issue the order to place Iwagakure under martial law!" Onoki immediately gave the order.

"yes!"

Meanwhile, in Konoha Village.

"Has Onoki gone mad?!" Inside the Hokage Building, Ebizo stared dumbfounded at the intelligence report in his hand, almost questioning his own existence!

According to his thinking, facing the overwhelming strength of Konoha, even if that old geezer Onoki didn't surrender immediately, he would at least cower in defense and wait for a suitable time to obediently surrender.

For example, when their respected Fifth Hokage appeared, he casually unleashed two powerful ninjutsu, causing them to kneel down.

However, the war has already begun, and it was the Iwa ninja who launched the first attack. This suicidal attitude shocked Ebizo for a whole year.

This left Ebizo speechless, and he really wanted to give Onoki a thumbs up! Having witnessed the terrifying strength of the White Moon, he felt that the old fox Onoki was even more reckless than those brutes from the Cloud Village.

Could it be?!

When they surrounded and attacked the Third Raikage, was Onoki infected by the Third Raikage's reckless energy?!

Otherwise, it really wouldn't make sense!

This is so strange! It doesn't fit the character of the old fox Onoki at all; it's more like the style of the Cloud Ninja.

"It must be a third-party force, namely the Akatsuki organization that captures tailed beasts, that has intervened," Shikaku said solemnly, head bowed in thought.

"That makes perfect sense!" Granny Chiyo was taken aback at first, but then she understood what Shikaku meant: "It seems that even if their conspiracy didn't succeed, it was just one step away from completion, which is why they showed their true colors at this moment."

"Don't underestimate them!" Shikaku said gravely. "They've been defeated by the Fifth Hokage several times, yet they've suddenly resurfaced. This shows they're very confident in themselves and may possess a trump card capable of contending with the Fifth Hokage!"

Upon hearing this, the entire Hokage Building fell into a deathly silence!

Especially Chiyo, Ebizo, and Mei Terumi. The three of them were momentarily stunned, their eyes filled with confusion and...fear!

What the hell?!

He has mastered power sufficient to deal with the Fifth Hokage?!

Good heavens! Don't scare us!

The Fifth Hokage, who was already beyond human comprehension, was terrifying enough! And now another one is coming?!

"..." Although they were terrified, the others present agreed with Shikaku's guess.

Without equal strength, who would dare to face a terrifying enemy?!

For example, imagine a newly graduated genin heading to the battlefield with his seniors from the same village, only to suddenly encounter Minato Namikaze.

Almost instantly, forty or fifty powerful seniors were killed, including Chunin and Jonin. They were all wiped out in a flash, leaving only trembling Genin to be spared.

So, how strong does this genin, who is absolutely traumatized, need to become to stand before Minato Namikaze without flinching?

Chunin? Special Jonin? Jonin? Or Elite Jonin?

Perhaps only by growing to the level of a village's most powerful figure can one stand before Minato Namikaze again without flinching?

The others would probably be so scared they'd pee themselves.

Therefore, Shikaku's guess is reasonable! The Akatsuki organization that captured the Tailed Beasts must have done something terrifying.

Only in this way would members of the Akatsuki dare to step forward and intervene in the war between Konoha and Iwagakure.

The three men had mixed feelings, a mixture of pity for Onoki and relief for their village.

It's pitiful that Onoki became cannon fodder between two terrifyingly powerful figures. Being caught between two terrifyingly powerful figures would definitely be a terrible fate.

Fortunately, they didn't have to face those powerful monsters; if the sky were to fall, Bai Yue, being so tall, would hold it up.

After all, they didn't think that the Akatsuki would use their powerful trump card—the one they had painstakingly acquired by capturing the Jinchuriki of the various villages—as a mere decoration. They were bound to take action against them.

Thinking about it this way, the three who were already convinced of Bai Yue's worth even more now recognized Bai Yue and even the entire Konoha.

"We must find the enemy's location as soon as possible!" Lu Jiu suddenly stood up and said, "We cannot allow the enemy to continue hiding in the shadows."

"I'll go report the information to the Hokage," Mei Terumi said immediately.
