Naruto: What do you mean you're from the Head-Touching Village?

Missing?

After glancing at the two of them almost imperceptibly, Qiu Rishun looked away.

He knew very well that the Third Kazekage was not missing at all, but dead, and his death was the beginning of the Third Shinobi World War.

"arrive."

While Shun Akihi was thinking, Jiraiya knocked on the door of the Hokage's office. After obtaining Hiruzen Sarutobi's permission, he led Shun Akihi inside.

"It's Jiraiya, and Shun Akihime too? What do you need me for?"

The moment Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Shun Akihito, he knew that Shun had something to ask him.

"It's like this, Hokage-sama, I've obtained a new bloodline limit, but I don't know whether I should use it."

Upon hearing about the new bloodline limit, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes revealed intense interest: "A new bloodline limit?"

Without further ado, Akira Shun deployed [Hinata Hyuga (New Year Limited)], and his Byakugan appeared.

"It's a white eye."

When he saw Shun Akihito's eyes turn into Byakugan, Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't surprised; instead, he felt a strange sense of accomplishment.

It seems we were on the right track with our previous experiments!

"I've said it before, Konoha will always be your strongest support. Use your bloodline limit if you want." The more Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Shun Akihito, the more pleasing he became. Not only were his strength and bloodline limit impressive, but his interpersonal skills were also remarkable. After awakening the village's bloodline limit, he even made a point of reporting to him.

"I understand, thank you, Hokage-sama."

After receiving Hiruzen Sarutobi's consent, Shun Akihiro felt much more at ease. He had been genuinely worried that the old fogies of the Hyuga clan would go berserk and, seeing that he simultaneously met the conditions of "Byakugan" and "not being a member of the main clan," it would be as if some rule had been triggered, and they would directly capture him and put him in "Caged Bird Seal."

Things are different now. I can use the Hokage's power as I please. Do you think the Hyuga clan can still act crazy?

Go talk to the Hokage.

After thanking him, Akira and Jiraiya left.

At this moment, the entire ninja world was shaken by the news of the Third Kazekage's disappearance.

......

Hidden Cloud Village.

The Third Raikage has already begun his wild ideas.

"Missing, fate unknown? That means dead!"

Upon hearing this news, the Third Raikage slammed his fist on the table and stood up excitedly.

"Tsuchidai! Have the village strengthen its defenses and prepare for war! Now that the Kazekage of Sunagakure has disappeared, they must be leaderless! This is the perfect opportunity to attack them! Also, prepare an elite force for me! I will personally lead this force to attack Sunagakure!"

Tsuchida was not surprised when he heard the first part of the Third Raikage's order. After all, the death of the Third Kazekage was a major event, and it was normal to strengthen defenses to prevent other ninja villages from taking action.

But when he heard the second half of the Third Raikage's words, he completely lost his composure.

So the "other ninja villages" that are taking action are actually Kumogakure!

Tsuchikage looked up at the Third Raikage, who was currently caught up in his own passion, and felt as if his brain was about to explode.

Even if he put his head in the toilet, he couldn't figure out the point of attacking Sunagakure at this time, especially why Kumogakure would attack Sunagakure.

One map is in the upper right corner, and the other is in the lower left corner, with so many countries in between!

They even have to pass through the area between Konoha Village (the Land of Fire) and Iwagakure Village (the Land of Earth)!

This journey is absolutely outrageous!

Most importantly, Tsuchikage simply doesn't understand the point of their attack on Sunagakure.

How poor is that place?

We have neither land nor knowledge!

Even if you successfully reach Sunagakure and win the battle, what's the point? You won't gain anything!

"Earth platform! Go and prepare it quickly!"

When Tsuchikage urged him on, Tsuchikage's lips twitched. He wanted to say something, but seeing the Third Raikage's expression, he knew that it would be useless to say anything.

That's just the kind of personality the Third Raikage has; once he has an idea, he immediately puts it into practice, and no one can stop him.

"Understood, I will handle it, Lord Raikage."

After saying this, Tu Tai sighed. He was numb, truly numb.

And so, while Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure were still pondering the impact of the Kazekage's disappearance and what consequences the Kazekage's absence would have on the ninja world, they soon learned of another major piece of news.

The Third Raikage of Kumogakure led a team of elites through more than a dozen countries, rampaging through the land and directly reaching the Land of Wind!

Upon arriving in the Land of Wind, they went straight to Sunagakure without saying a word and began excavating!

The Third Raikage's Western-style fighting style really stunned all the major ninja villages. They knew that the Third Raikage was decisive and efficient, but they didn't expect him to be this decisive and efficient.

The main reason they were also puzzled was: what was the purpose of attacking Sunagakure?

On the Sunagakure side, they also immediately launched a defensive counterattack.

First, a ninja named Rasa stepped forward, demonstrating not only exceptional leadership but also Kage-level combat prowess, using Magnet Release to withstand the Third Raikage's thunderous attack.

After that, Chiyo and Ebizo, who had been living in seclusion, both came to the forefront!

After a brief entanglement, the Third Raikage led his team away, probably having eaten their fill of sand.

After the Third Raikage left, Rasa's reputation soared due to his merit in resisting the Third Raikage. With the support of Chiyo and Ebizo, he took office as the new Kazekage, becoming the Fourth Kazekage!

This completely ended the chaos in Sunagakure!

The chaos has ended, but new problems have arisen.

How exactly did the Third Kazekage disappear?

The Third Raikage led that small force and marched unimpeded all the way to the entrance of Sunagakure. Wasn't that shameful? After they finished, they just dusted themselves off and left. Wasn't that shameful?

This is a major event that the entire ninja world knows about!

The last and most important question is resources!

This battle took place in the Land of Wind. The Sand Village spent a lot of resources to quickly build fortifications, and the Third Raikage plundered the already impoverished Land of Wind, leaving them with even fewer resources!

Each of these issues is difficult to handle individually, let alone now that they're piled up together.

Luo Sha saw this and thought, "This won't do. I've only just become the Kazekage and so many big things have happened. If he doesn't resolve these issues, I doubt he'll be able to hold onto this position for long."

Ultimately, he decided to follow the basic logic of politicians: use foreign wars to divert attention from internal problems!

All of this stemmed from the disappearance of the Third Kazekage!

How did the Third Kazekage disappear?

They were assassinated by their good ally, Konoha Village!

They're all from Konoha!

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, was stunned when he heard the news.

How can you blame Konoha Village for this?

If you don't wipe yourself properly after pooping and it gets stuck on your underwear, do you also have to curse "Damn Konoha Village"?

And so, the Third Shinobi World War, which swept across the entire shinobi world, officially began.
