Naruto: My setting is above yours

Chapter 87 Intense

Konoha was rapidly entering a state of war, while Genma and the others at the front lines were entering a period of waiting.

The Third Raikage did not launch a surprise attack in a very short time.

May 23, Konoha 46, the fourth day of the war between Konoha and Kumogakure.

In Iwagakure, the Village of Hidden Stone in the Land of Earth, Onoki finally obtained specific information about the war between Konoha and Kumogakure.

In fact, intelligence had already been delivered yesterday.

But it can only be said to be news, after all, it spread throughout Konoha on the second day after the war broke out, and then quickly spread throughout the Land of Fire with the help of caravans.

This information can be obtained without the need for spies.

God knows how happy Onoki was at that moment; he almost flew around in circles in his office.

He initially sold information to Kumogakure just to see if he could cause some trouble for Konoha.

To my utter surprise, war has really broken out!

Konoha must be suffering tremendous losses right now!

With such expectations, Onoki opened the information.

Ok?

The Hidden Cloud Village suffered heavy losses?

Raikage's son is seriously injured?

Onoki's expression changed rapidly.

Konoha's Ranga, that brat named Genma Mikaze actually mastered Wood Release?

Onoki's face immediately turned ugly.

It's that brat again!

They even have Wood Release!

Ohnoki was suddenly filled with unpleasant memories.

He never personally experienced the effects of Wood Release, but in that era, mentioning Hashirama Senju inevitably led to mentioning Madara Uchiha, the Asura of the Ninja World.

Is the ninja world about to enter an era dominated by Konoha again?

Onoki continued reading with a gloomy face, then his eyebrows twitched slightly.

The Third Raikage has actually left Kumogakure!

"Looks like I'll have to go to the battlefield myself—"

Onoki narrowed his eyes, sensing that an opportunity had arrived.

"Let's wait until Konoha and Kumogakure start a large-scale war."

"We need to either get the Grass Village to wage war against the Amegakure, or get the Amegakure to launch an attack on the Land of Grass."

Onoki was organizing his plans.

The situation in Kusagakure has already loosened.

Amegakure first conquered the Land of Rivers, then reorganized the Land of Rain, and its strength expanded rapidly.

They have now driven out ninjas from other ninja villages from the Land of Rain.

Faced with such a formidable village as Amegakure, the Land of Grass could not help but panic.

However, a catalyst is still needed to bring both Amegakure and Kusagakure into a state of war.

After putting down the intelligence, Onoki closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before opening them to make a decision.

One day later.

-

In Amegakure, the triumphant Hanzo looked at the documents in his hand, his gaze suddenly sharpening: "Assassinate the Daimyo of the Land of Grass?"

He looked up at his capable assistant, Xie Yu: "Who commissioned this task?"

Xie Yu respectfully replied, "Lord Hanzo, we haven't found out the truth yet."

"The person who commissioned the task concealed their identity, and did so very well; however, this is how these kinds of tasks are usually handled."

Amegakure is very skilled at assassination and has taken on many political assassination missions.

However, although the Land of Grass is a small country, it is only in comparison to the large countries like the Land of Fire.

This is, after all, a country with its own ninja village, and this is the first time we've had a mission like assassinating its daimyo.

"Lord Hanzo, I believe this is very likely a mission commissioned by someone within the Land of Grass."

Xie Yu analyzed, "Currently, the situation in the Land of Grass is turbulent due to the friction between Konoha and Iwagakure, and it can almost be said that it has been divided into three factions."

Hanzo nodded slightly; he knew this.

He has been paying particular attention to information about the Land of Grass and the Hidden Grass Village lately.

He has already adopted the advice given by that kid Yu Feng Xuan Ma and completed the first and second steps.

Now that the Land of Rain has been integrated, the strength of Amegakure has basically returned to the level before the Second Shinobi World War.

So there aren't actually many targets left to target.

The Land of Grass is the closest, but it has a Grass Ninja Village, which is quite powerful and has connections to Konoha and Iwagakure.

Konoha, as an ally, would not allow him to wage war against the Land of Grass.

Forming an alliance with Konoha definitely has significant limitations!

Hanzo snorted inwardly and then began to think.

So, shall we accept this mission?

In the past, there would have been no need to consider it; they would have simply accepted it, as the situation outside was irrelevant to Amegakure.

But things are different now.

Seeing Hanzo deep in thought, Xieyu spoke up: "Lord Hanzo, if the Daimyo of the Land of Grass dies, the Land of Grass will surely fall into chaos, which will be to our advantage."

"Secondly, hiring for such tasks does not violate any rules."

"If it's revealed that we carried out this, and the Land of Grass and the Hidden Grass Village want to investigate, then it will give us a convenient excuse. In that case, even the Hidden Leaf Village won't be able to say anything."

""

Hanzo nodded, then asked, "Is it possible that the person who commissioned the mission also hopes for this outcome?"

Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "Lord Hanzo, no matter who this person is or what his purpose is, as long as the outcome benefits the village, none of that matters!"

One sentence captivated Hanzo.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded: "I will accept this task and complete it without fail!"

It's a win-win situation: you can earn a commission and it will benefit the village at the same time!

Northern part of the Land of Fire.

Genma, who was pondering a summoning jutsu, looked up, and then Yamashiro Aoba rushed in: "Genma, the Cloud Ninja have arrived, and there's also—someone who seems to be the Third Raikage!"

finally come!

Xuanma's spirits lifted.

Sakumo Hatake then came out of the room.

-

They've been conserving their energy these past few days. Yamashiro Aoba was temporarily assigned to the perception class, while Shizune went to the medical class.

The three of them set off together, using the Instantaneous Movement Technique to leave.

The location of the last major battle is no longer the front line.

After Orochimaru and his group arrived, another batch of reinforcements arrived, and now Konoha has deployed more than 300 troops on its northern and northeastern borders.

There were no genin among these ninjas!

Therefore, after having sufficient troops, Konoha's defense line continued to push towards the border, all the way to the borders of the Land of Fire, the Land of Fields, and the Land of Hot Springs.

Once outside the cabin, the three used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to head towards the border at top speed.

About five minutes later, the three arrived, with Genma and their teacher, Hatake Sakumo, landing on Orochimaru's left and right sides respectively.

"Orochimaru-senpai, has the Third Raikage arrived?"

Xuanma asked.

Orochimaru glanced at him, smiled, and said, "It was seen by the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, so it shouldn't be wrong."

"Genma-kun, are you ready?"

Genma smiled and said, "The Third Raikage, who is said to be the strongest, is someone to look forward to."

He had already taken off his armor and was now wearing a Chunin vest.

Since the armor was damaged in the previous battle and could not be repaired on the battlefield, it was decided to take it off temporarily.

I must say, my body does feel much lighter.

The Konoha ninjas scattered around heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but feel that it was too crazy.

But then they also felt a sense of anticipation.

The legendary Wood Release technique—finally, I can witness it with my own eyes!

Moreover, the opponent is the Third Raikage, an existence just like the Third Hokage, so his strength must be extremely powerful!

Whoosh~

A whooshing sound came as Hyuga Hizashi, wearing a Jonin vest, landed not far in front of Genma.

"Lord Orochimaru, the Cloud Ninja have arrived! It's confirmed that the Third Raikage is leading the team personally!"

Hyuga Hizashi said to Orochimaru, then glanced at Genma.

Xuanma nodded slightly, then lowered his eyes.

Sage Mode!

In three seconds, his body was filled with Sage Chakra. Then he opened his eyes, raised his hands, and formed hand seals.

Transformation!

Instantly, his eyes turned golden.

Xuanma used to like transforming into a falcon, and the color of the falcon's eyes was almost indistinguishable from his own black.

In order to train his summoned beasts, Yamashiro Aoba not only studied crows but also other birds, especially birds of prey like eagles.

Among the many types of eagles, the goshawk has the best eyesight, not the eagle flock.

During the two days of waiting, Xuanma sent a clone to find a hawk to observe.

Therefore, today he used the eagle's eagle eye to perform a partial transformation.

Orochimaru turned his head and saw the change in Yufeng Genma's eyes. His eyes narrowed slightly: "Some kind of eye technique?"

"They even awakened other bloodline limits?"

He became increasingly interested in the child in front of him.

"arrive!"

Sakumo Hatake reminded everyone.

Orochimaru looked back and saw figures appearing a hundred meters away, the tall figure at the head being none other than the Third Raikage.

The Third Raikage, who landed on the ground, immediately locked onto the Wind-Riding Horse.

This was the first time he had seen it, but he had seen the portrait before.

Moreover, their positions and attire were quite distinctive.

Orochimaru and Konoha's White Fang were both already famous ninjas.

Genma's gaze also fell on the Third Raikage. Their eyes met, and the air seemed to suddenly become scorching hot.

"Riding the wind with Xuanma, Konoha's Ranga, it's truly remarkable to have achieved such success at such a young age."

The Third Raikage immediately began by praising.

Genma smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Raikage. Compared to you, my achievements are nothing."

"After all, you are known as the strongest Raikage of all time, with the titles of the strongest shield and the strongest spear."

"As a junior, I'm eager to witness the prowess of the strongest Raikage!"

A very humble challenge!

The Third Raikage's long hair and beard danced in the wind, and his body was suddenly enveloped in lightning chakra, with arcs of electricity flickering across his skin.

"Then let this old man see your Wood Release and Lightning Release. Make your move, young man."

"Of course, Orochimaru, and Konoha's White Fang, you can come along too!"

Sakumo Hatake reached for his sword, but Genma immediately said, "Master, let me test the Raikage's strength first!"

Hatake Sakumo paused, then, considering his disciple's abilities, nodded and withdrew his hand.

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Lord Raikage, I believe in Genma-kun's strength."

"This will be a fair one-on-one duel, and it should be a battle that will be remembered throughout the ninja world."

Genma took a step forward, his body also radiating lightning chakra. The lightning crackled as it rubbed against the air.

Orochimaru and many Konoha ninjas couldn't help but freeze in shock.

It is exactly the same as the Third Raikage's Lightning Release.

Genma raised his right hand, and a large amount of lightning chakra gathered in his hand, forming a blazing white ball of light that enveloped his entire palm.

Sage Art: Lightning Release: Lightning Blade!

The Third Raikage's gaze sharpened: "A Lightning Release technique similar to mine?"

"Then let this old man see whose moves are stronger!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Third Raikage shot out.
