Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 241 Konoha: Kumogakure, what are you trying to do!

When the leader of the Grass Ninja returned to the village, he saw Shisui and the others guarding the area.

Seeing that there were significantly more Grass Ninja troops than when they left, Shisui asked with some confusion, "What happened? Why are there so many more people?"

The leader of the Grass Village said to Shisui with a smile, "Kusanami was moved by our support from afar and is willing to put aside past grievances and return to the embrace of the Grass Village, so that we can become one and completely end the chaos in the Land of Grass."

"Why don't you ask them if they're touched by our support?"

I dare not move, I dare not move.

Elder Kusanagi secretly grumbled to himself, but his words changed as soon as they came out.

"The Mist Ninja invasion made me realize that whether it's the fruit of the grass or the flower of the grass, the strength of the Land of Grass is what matters when facing an enemy. This Mist Ninja invasion of Hozuki Castle is a lesson in itself; we should unite as one."

The elders of the Grass Village will be working there from now on, so they naturally know what to say and what not to say.

Hearing the words of the Grass Ninja leader and elders, Shisui smiled with relief. Shisui cherished his clansmen and loved his village. Now, with the efforts of Fugaku and Minato, the conflict between the two was being eased, which gave Shisui hope.

"If Kusanagi can recognize the importance of unity, then the clan will surely recognize it too. As long as I persevere, one day the Uchiha clan and Konoha will be able to achieve true reconciliation, just like Kusanagi and Kusagakure."

Uchiha Shisui never expected that a single mission would actually fulfill his path, and he couldn't help but say to the leader of the Grass Ninja, "You are a ninja with a broad mind and selfless dedication!"

It's obvious that even the Mangekyou Sharingan can't see through people's hearts.

Upon hearing Shisui's words, the leader of the Grass Ninja turned to look at the many Grass Ninja behind him and smiled.

He felt a strong urge to say something, but because he hadn't focused on his studies, he couldn't think of anything, and felt incredibly stifled.

So the leader of the Grass Village used the village's traditional skill of learning and drawing inspiration from others!

"Yes, where the grass dances, the fire will never die out. The firelight will continue to illuminate the village and allow new grass roots to sprout..."

As Shisui listened to the Grass Ninja leader's modified version of the Will of Fire, he gave a polite but not awkward smile.

I had long heard that Kusagakure was a village that was good at learning, and now that I have seen it, I can confirm that it is indeed true.

But, how should I put it?

The fact that Kusanagi no Mi reconciled with Kusagakure is a manifestation of the Will of Fire, so it cannot be said that the leader of Kusagakure was wrong.

Shisui could only change the subject, saying, "I just received news that the Kirigakure ninja have returned to Kirigakure with the Box of Bliss, and the crisis in Kusagakure has been resolved."

"However, it seems we won't be able to take the Box of Bliss. The Kirigakure ninja invaded Hozuki Castle specifically for the Box of Bliss, and they won't let it go."

"It's alright. If I get it, I'm lucky; if I lose it, it's fate. The Box of Bliss is just an external possession. As long as Kusagakure is safe, that's all that matters."

The leader of the Grass Ninja didn't seem to care much about the Box of Bliss.

Could the Box of Bliss allow the Grass Ninja to rule the ninja world?

Forget it.

How many years has this "grass fruit" rhetoric been circulating? Every year, it uses the "box of bliss" rhetoric to attract new blood.

But after all these years, the Land of Grass remains the same. It hasn't even unified the Land of Grass, let alone ruled the ninja world.

If the Box of Bliss were truly that powerful, Kusanagi would have unified the Land of Grass long ago, and he wouldn't have had the chance to reap the benefits and become a hero who quelled the war in the Land of Grass.

……

After the invasion of Kusagakure, Konoha immediately condemned Kirigakure.

This time, however, the smaller ninja villages were much quieter in their support for Konoha. After all, the Grass Village had been too enthusiastic in supporting Konoha, which led to its invasion by the Mist Village.

Although it's uncertain whether the invasion of Kusagakure is related to supporting Konoha, they must try their best to avoid it if there's even the slightest possibility.

Being cautious and meticulous is the way of survival for the small ninja village.

Like the Hidden Mist Village, the Hidden Sand Village, and the Hidden Stone Village, the Hidden Mist Village feigned death and showed no reaction to Konoha's condemnation.

Konoha was helpless in the face of this.

The three ninja villages tacitly stood on the same side, making it difficult for Konoha to make a move.

But it doesn't matter, the three villages are very close together, isn't there another village that's far away?

Then, Konoha discovered the unusual activity in Kumogakure and immediately mobilized its forces to put pressure on Kumogakure.

It means the same thing.

"Kumakuya Village, what are you doing?!"

The Hidden Sand Village, the Hidden Stone Village, and the Hidden Mist Village have all humiliated Konoha, making it impossible for the Hidden Cloud Village to invade again.

Again and again and again!

Otherwise, Konoha would be too disgraced!

When the Third Raikage learned of this, he was so angry that he smashed a table in the newly built Raikage Building.

The Third Raikage also wanted to annex a small ninja village. Seeing the Sand Village, Iwagakure Village, and Kirigakure Village invading the small ninja village and reaping huge profits, it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted.

After Shennong invaded the air fortress and fired a chakra cannon, the Hidden Cloud Village was severely weakened and desperately needed resources.

But as soon as he made a move, he was warned by Konoha, and this feeling was really terrible.

Therefore, the Third Raikage stated that Konoha's actions were a disgrace to Kumogakure!

As everyone knows, the Hidden Cloud Village never does anything bad!

Kumogakure is a kind village that helps other villages in need and would never bully the weak!

They also expressed strong protest against Konoha's discriminatory behavior!

Why not monitor Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure, who have already offended Konoha, instead of monitoring Kumogakure, which has been keeping to itself?

Is it because they fear the tacit cooperation of the three great ninja villages that they dare not act? So they come to bully the upright and kind-hearted Kumogakure?

That's outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!

Konoha must give Kumogakure an explanation and compensate Kumogakure for emotional distress.

But Konoha's response was just a simple three words.

"understood."

Konoha is now the overlord of the ninja world. Who does it need to explain itself to, and who can make Konoha explain itself to it?

The Third Raikage received Konoha's reply, and upon seeing those three words, he fell silent. "That's it?"

"Yes!" Samui replied, "Those three words are Konoha's answer."

"If it weren't for that damned Sky Village leader, Shennong, who invaded the aerial fortress and caused incalculable damage to Cloud Village, I would definitely have shown Konoha the power of Cloud Village!"

The Third Raikage was so angry he wanted to smash the table, but the next moment he covered his chest with his hand and gasped for breath.

"Lord Raikage, are you alright?!"

Sam said with concern.

"It's nothing, just a minor problem."

Although the Third Raikage survived the chakra cannon of the air fortress, he was still severely injured.

Even after recovering, the occasional aftereffects prevented the Third Raikage from unleashing his full power.

"What about A? The heavy responsibility of becoming Raikage will now be entrusted to him. Kumogakure needs a Raikage who is ambitious and enterprising!"
