Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 369 Konoha, Kumogakure: That's right, we're fighting!

Three days later, Yuya angrily demanded on television to speak with Yunyin.

It was even broadcast on the news channel.

The reason given was that the Hidden Cloud Village carried out an assassination attempt against the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Fire.

Everyone was completely baffled.

Apart from Shimura Danzo.

In the shadowy corner, Danzo Shimura grinned maliciously.

That's right! That's right! That's exactly it!

Let's fight! Let's fight!

Danzo Shimura was very excited, but what happened next was beyond his expectations.

Shimura Danzo knew, of course, that the people who assassinated the Daimyo's mansion were not from Kumogakure, since he had given the order himself.

But who cares about something like that?!

The Hidden Cloud Village will definitely be furious at being treated like this, and they'll probably blow it up, leading to conflict and friction with the Hidden Leaf Village!

If that happens, Yuya's position will become slightly unstable.

Danzo Shimura certainly wouldn't expect Yua to ignite the powder keg between Kumogakure and Konoha because of his sending someone to ambush the youngest son of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

In fact, he felt that the conflict might not be very big.

But what he never expected was...

The situation developed in a way that exceeded his expectations.

At the end of Konoha 53, Nara Shika, as was customary, conducted year-end inspections and distributed bonuses.

Meanwhile, Yua was having a frantic conversation with the Raikage of Kumogakure.

No one knows exactly what they talked about.

However, it's certain that the atmosphere between the two villages became increasingly tense from this point onward.

In the end, it was a remark by the Raikage that completely ignited the powder keg.

On December 19th, Konoha 53.

Youya told Lei Ying, "No matter what, it's almost Chinese New Year for me, so don't force me to beat you up during our New Year celebrations."

The Raikage was furious, then exclaimed, "After something like this, you still have the mood to celebrate the New Year?! Go to hell!"

These words instantly darkened Yuya's face and filled the people of Konoha Village with indignation.

Some people even took to the streets to protest, saying that the Hidden Cloud Village must be taught a lesson, since they had fought a battle with the Hidden Cloud Village when Tobirama Senju was still in power.

He couldn't believe that Konoha Village had become so much stronger over the years; surely they couldn't defeat Kumogakure Village?!

No way! Absolutely not!

In the Shimura clan's secret room:

Danzo Shimura was dumbfounded.

The elders of the Shimura clan immediately became anxious.

One of them looked at Danzo and asked, "What exactly are you thinking?!"

You exposed such a big thing without even telling us?!

Danzo Shimura's plan to assassinate the daimyo's son in the Land of Fire, even if it wasn't the daimyo himself, was extremely dangerous.

Once it's leaked, the Shimura family is completely finished.

Of course, Danzo Shimura couldn't tell these clan elders about something so dangerous.

He believed that he would secretly control everything in the ninja world.

Assassinating the Daimyo's youngest son would put pressure on Konoha Village from the Daimyo's household.

After that, Konoha Village will be able to collect evidence related to the assassination attempt on Kumogakure.

This will inevitably create a rift between Yua and the Raikage. Of course, that's not the point. The point is, what will Yua choose after finding out that the Raikage did it?

public?

If that's the case, then Shimura Danzo will definitely demand that Yua take revenge on Kumogakure.

And what about Yuya?!

What will he choose?!

Danzo Shimura would never have believed that Yua would actually retaliate against Kumogakure.

After all, if a real fight breaks out, the number of people who will die or be injured will be enormous.

Danzo Shimura did not believe that Yua was that stupid.

but……

But things are now spiraling out of control in that direction!

It was only then that Shimura Danzo panicked.

Meanwhile, the elders of the Shimura clan also had to review the contributions their family members had made to the clan throughout the year during the year-end review.

They were dumbfounded when they found out.

Why did dozens of ninjas leave the village recently?

Then investigate further...

Oh no, it's all gotten into the assassination attempt on the youngest son of the Daming Prefecture.

It's even possible that...

Or the mastermind?!

God knows how devastated these elders of the Shimura clan were when they found out about this place.

No way, you're really daring!

Most importantly, they were able to find out, but who can guarantee that the people at Youya won't?

I don't know why Yua and the Raikage are at odds now. They've been arguing the whole time and haven't been able to have a calm talk or exchange information. If they actually sit down together, the first thing to die will be our Shimura clan!

So, it seems that the best-case scenario is that things continue as they are, with Yua and Raikage only exchanging words and not actually fighting. After all, whether they stop fighting after a big battle or stop immediately, it's safe to say that as long as they stop and both sides conduct an investigation, the matter will be completely over.

Therefore, the elders of the Shimura clan now look at Shimura Danzo with eyes that seem to wish they could kill him.

Danzo Shimura didn't react because he was completely bewildered.

He never expected this...

Yuya actually made a phone call to Raikage and asked him a few questions, and then the two of them started arguing, which has now escalated to the point of fighting.

To be honest, even if the investigation eventually revealed that the assassination was carried out by members of the Shimura clan, wouldn't Shimura Danzo have simply put forward some scapegoats?

Anyway, assassination is a serious matter, but you can't possibly kill my whole family for something without any evidence, can you?

Danzo Shimura's idea was very good.

But he never expected that when Yua and Raikage clashed, the result would be like this!

You can't fight! You've started fighting...

I'm completely finished!

After all, the Shimura clan's involvement in the assassination and their involvement in planning the war are two completely different crimes...

One person, at most, can kill a few people.

one……

That would indeed mean the death of the entire clan.

……

However, even with such prayers, Danzo Shimura could not expect reality to unfold according to his wishes.

He doesn't have that ability, you know that?

On December 21, Konoha Year 53, Yuya declared that this was intolerable and that the Hidden Cloud Village had gone too far.

Raikage slammed his fist on the table, yelling, "Shut the hell up! If you want to fight, just attack! See if I'm a coward or not!"

Then Yuya began to assemble the ninja army.

The Raikage was not to be outdone.

The entire ninja world was silent, and countless people were waiting for the war to end.

Everyone was eager to see just how strong Konoha Village was, having not fought a major war in the past thirty years.

Some people believe that Kumogakure is a major ninja village after all, and should be able to withstand the pressure.

Then, the two sides collided.

They were yelling at each other very loudly.

But soon, someone noticed something was wrong...

You two can fight as you please...

Why is it located in the Land of Iron?!
