Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 444 Four against one, the advantage is on our side

In the teahouse, Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi were idly drinking tea to pass the time when suddenly a commotion broke out.

Upon hearing this, the two understood and left the teahouse. By this time, people had already gathered on the street, all looking up at the huge ice wall.

Fugaku narrowed his eyes. Only Aokiji could unleash such a wide-range ice-style ninjutsu in such a dry environment. "Looks like they've already made their move."

Out of curiosity, Hiashi Hyuga activated his Byakugan, causing veins to bulge around his eyes. His eye power was increased to its limit, allowing him to see through thick walls and discover a blue giant inside the Daimyo's mansion, as large as a wolf or a flock of sheep. With a casual punch, the giant was unstoppable and devastating.

"Damn it, go to hell!"

The four ninjas moved in perfect unison, forming hand seals simultaneously. The ground vortex rose rapidly, howling and creating a swirling wind and clouds, whipping up a gigantic tornado. Its powerful energy was so great that even the Soul Flame struggled to withstand its force, forcing it to retreat repeatedly, its feet kicking up a large amount of rubble and bricks.

They are the Wind God Clan, elite ninjas belonging to the Daimyo of the Land of Wind. This Wind Release technique, performed by four people together, can even reach the S-rank.

"Wow, you're quite capable."

Aokiji remained calm, his eyes widening as he saw through the weakness of the attack. Stepping on the shoulder of the Soul Flame, he leaped high into the air.

The fire of the soul fades away like sand in the wind.

It worked!?

Before the Wind Gods could even feel happy, they seemed to realize something and suddenly looked up to see a person descending from the sky—it was Uchiha Aokiji.

This Wind Release technique is quite powerful, but its weakness is also obvious: it has no power in the eye of the storm.

"it's over!"

The soul fire reappeared, the body hung limply, and a punch slammed into the Wind Gods. With a loud bang, the spell could no longer be maintained, and the huge tornado vanished.

One of the Wind Gods narrowly escaped the attack of the Soul Fire and retreated to the side of the son of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind. He was coughing up blood and was in critical condition.

The giant fist slowly moved away, revealing three corpses lying on the ground. Aokiji's gaze fell on the Wind God who had managed to escape, a smile appearing on his lips as he licked the corpse with his tongue.

Three white spheres floated out from the three corpses on the ground, with the half-body phantoms of the deceased appearing on them.

"This...this is...a soul?"

The escaped wind gods stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"Eat..."

Aokiji spoke calmly, his Soul Flame opening its claws, its palm possessing a certain suction force, drawing three spherical objects containing souls toward its palm.

Seemingly impatient, Soulfire swung its hand, grabbed three soul orbs, and handed them to the torn mouth, its purpose self-evident.

The Thunder Gods couldn't bear to watch this scene. They closed their eyes, then opened them after a long while, rallied their spirits, and shouted to the son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind beside them, "Your Highness, run..."

Without hesitation, Feng Zhiguo's son turned and ran. Before he had run a few steps, a claw appeared behind him.

The son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see that the loyal Thunder God was grabbed by the giant's claws and held in his palm, his eyes fixed on the daimyo's son of the Land of Wind who was stunned and frozen in place.

The next second, blue flames erupted from the tiger's mouth, burning the Wind Gods to death.

The Soul Fire released its grip, and the corpse fell to the ground. Its emerald green eyes exuded a sinister aura, as if to say: Look, now it's your turn.

A wall of fire erupted from before the Soul Fire, surging forth like a tidal wave.

Seeing this, the son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind dared not stand still any longer and ran for his life.

But he was too slow, and the expanding blue flames caught up with him in an instant, blasting him away.

It's over... It's all over...

The son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind lay on the ground, his entire body frostbitten, his limbs stiff and unable to move.

He was filled with utter despair. His guards had all been brutally killed by the demon Aokiji, and there would be no one to protect him anymore.

More than his hatred for Aokiji, he now hates his father even more. Why did he have to provoke this enemy when he had nothing better to do? As a result, he brought trouble upon himself, and his thousand-year-old foundation was destroyed in an instant.

Blue flames filled the surroundings, shooting into the sky. The Soul Flame stood proudly, roaring to the heavens. The roar shook the surrounding air, filling the living with immense fear.

Aokiji glanced around and saw the mournful expressions on the faces of the people around him; it seemed the fear implantation had been quite effective.

Having achieved his goal, he no longer needed to kill and strolled away as if taking a leisurely walk.

"Don't come any closer!!!"

The son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind thought that Aokiji was going to kill him, and he was so frightened that tears streamed down his face and he shouted loudly.

Aokiji smiled frivolously, "Don't look so afraid. I'm not a demon."

You're more devilish than the devil himself!

Of course, the son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind dared not say such things to his face; he could only roar in his heart.

Aokiji laughed and said, "Want to live?"

Happiness came so suddenly that the son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind was stunned: ?

"Judging from your expression, you seem to want to live, so please grant me one request."

"What conditions?" Let alone one condition, the son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind would agree to ten conditions without hesitation just to save his life.

Aokiji said a few words briefly.

The son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind was taken aback. He thought that Aokiji would take this opportunity to make an exorbitant demand, but he did not expect that the other party's condition was so simple. He only asked that no war be started.

Aokiji chuckled, "Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually a nuclear peace enthusiast."

You're a peace enthusiast my ass!

He cursed inwardly, but kept his expression hidden, feigning fear.

"It's just that I prefer to stop war with war, and stop killing with killing..."

"..."

"I'll give you three seconds to think about it..."

I promise you.

"You're really good at answering first."

"..."

"They're gone..."

As the blue pheasant dissipated like snowflakes in the wind, the son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind was slightly taken aback.

gone?

They just left like that?

Having survived a great calamity, the son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind wept with joy.

◎

The ice wall is melting.

The people on the street were talking about it.

While Fugaku and Hiashi Hyuga were still in a daze, a figure suddenly appeared beside them.

"Is the matter settled?"

Aokiji spoke casually, as if he had just finished using the restroom: "Pretty much. I think after this incident, they won't dare to mess with the Land of Flames again."

Hiashi Hyuga nodded.

Aokiji reminded her, "Oh, right, don't let Tsunade know about this."

"Lady Tsunade?"

Hiashi Hyuga looked surprised, not quite understanding what this meant.

Hiashi Hyuga is very respectful of his seniors, especially when it comes to relationships between men and women.

Aokiji laughed and said, "Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually a man who's afraid of his wife."

Hiashi Hyuga: ...

◎

Sunagakure Village.

"So, the lines around your eyes are different?"

After listening to Rasa's information, Ebizo thought for a moment: "It seems that the person who kidnapped my sister was not Aokiji."

Rasa nodded in agreement: "Judging from this guy's personality, he really doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing. Moreover, one of his accomplices is Kisame, a rogue ninja from Kirigakure and one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. As for the other person, he is still very mysterious. Judging from his attire, he seems to belong to an organization called Akatsuki."

"The Akatsuki?"

Based on the intelligence he had gathered, Luo Sha explained, "Judging from the organization's usual practices, it's somewhat similar to a bounty hunter; they'll go back for anything as long as the money is right."

Ebizo paused for a moment, then analyzed the situation clearly: "Either the Akatsuki took action themselves, or someone hired the Akatsuki."

"That's possible."

As the two were talking, a Sand Village ninja suddenly appeared and interrupted their conversation.

Luo Sha frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I am terribly sorry, Lord Kazekage, but the son of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind seems to have some urgent business to discuss with you?"

"The son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind?"

Luo Sha wondered if it was about war.

"Alright, I understand." Rasa said to Ebizo, "Excuse me for a moment."

Ebizo nodded slightly and watched Rasa leave.

When Rasa met the son of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, he was about to exchange a few polite words when the other man spoke first: "Lord Kazekage, how is the progress of the war against Konoha?"

Rasa thought to himself that the Daimyo was quite concerned about this matter, and he smiled and said, "Please rest assured, there will definitely be no problem with this. Sunagakure has already formed an alliance with Kumogakure and Iwagakure, and is now trying to win over Kirigakure. I believe there will be a result soon."

"That's good."

Judging from the tone, the fight hadn't really started yet, and the son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind breathed a sigh of relief. If a real fight had broken out, his life would have been in danger.

Rasa said confidently, "We will then attack Konoha. It will be four against one, so please tell the Daimyo to wait a little longer."

The son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind immediately realized the misunderstanding and quickly corrected him: "No, what I mean is to stop all of this immediately."

"Okay..." Luo Sha responded subconsciously, then paused for a moment, "Uh, what did you just say?"

The son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind took a deep breath and repeated, "I said, stop all of this immediately."

"Why, why?"

Rasa couldn't understand why the war had been initiated with the prior approval of the Daimyo, who had even acted as a go-between. Otherwise, Sunagakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure wouldn't have formed an alliance so easily.

The son of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind said with a solemn expression, "That Uchiha Aokiji is not someone to be trifled with."

Based on his memory, Luo Sha chimed in, "That's true..."

"No, you have no idea how terrifying this guy is." The son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind couldn't help but shudder at the mention of Aokiji, his expression filled with fear.

Luo Sha frowned, puzzled as to why this person looked so terrified at the mention of Aokiji: "What happened? What's going on?"

The son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind trembled as he recounted in detail what had happened the day before yesterday.

"No, impossible, how dare he..."

Rasa was dumbfounded when he heard this. Aokiji, that madman, actually went and killed the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.

and many more.

If I remember correctly, that day was right after the meeting ended.

In other words, after the meeting, Aokiji, this madman, turned around and killed the Daimyo of the Land of Wind?

Damn it, I should have kept Aokiji no matter what.

"Your Highness, please don't be afraid. As long as we unite, we have nothing to fear from Konoha..."

Rasa must kill Aokiji, that madman. He can't let such a dangerous person exist in the world any longer.

The son of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind almost cried when he heard this. He had explained so much, but the Kazekage still insisted on attacking the Land of Flame. Wasn't this going to kill him?

Thinking of all this, her voice trembled with tears: "Lord Kazekage, I beg you, please stop right now. Let's stop fighting. If we keep fighting, that madman Aokiji Uchiha will really kill me!"

Normally, the son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind wouldn't act like this; he used to be quite arrogant. But things are different now.

He feared that if he pushed Sunagakure too far, Sunagakure might follow Aokiji's example and kill his own daimyo.

"Oh, by the way, hasn't your Sunagakure village been complaining about the insufficient military budget? I can immediately double it, no, triple it, as long as you don't attack the Land of Flames, everything is negotiable."

Rasa clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, and said helplessly, "...But what about Kumogakure and Iwagakure?"

"Don't worry, I will personally go to their esteemed name to explain."

Luo Sha sighed, "Oh well..."

Through this incident, he began to discover the drawbacks of a single country and a single village.

For example, right now, Aokiji can manipulate the daimyo of other countries, while they cannot retaliate against them.

After all, the daimyo of the Land of Fire had already been killed by Aokiji himself, so where would he find avenge him?

As for assassinating Aokiji, that's something to think about but not really.

a few days later.

The Land of Earth, Hidden Rock Village.

Tsuchikage's office.

When Ōnoki saw the daimyo of the Land of Earth arrive, he laughed and said, "What brings you here?"

The Daimyo of the Land of Earth cut to the chase: "How's the attack on Konoha going?"

"Don't worry, it's four against one, the advantage is on our side."

"Stop! Don't hit him!"

"Okay, uh, what did you say?"

"Do you even know what that madman, Uchiha Aokiji, has done?"

"What's wrong?"

The daimyo of the Land of Earth recounted how the daimyo of the Land of Wind had been killed by Aokiji. After listening, Onoki, even someone his age who had seen all sorts of storms, was completely dumbfounded: "How dare this guy..."

"No, he really dares to do it."

On the other side, in the Land of Lightning, in the Hidden Cloud Village.

Raikage's office.

Raikage Ian is lifting weights with one arm, preparing for the upcoming battle.

Suddenly, the door was opened.

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning arrived and went straight to the point: "How are the preparations for the war going?"

Lei Yingai said confidently, "Oh, so that's what it is. Don't worry, it's four against one, the advantage is on our side."

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning hurriedly said, "Stop! End the war immediately!"

"No problem," Lei Ying Ai readily agreed, then realized something was off: "Uh, what did you say?"

"Do you know what that madman, Uchiha Aokiji, did recently?"

"W-what...?"

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning recounts how the daimyo of the Land of Wind was killed by Aokiji.

"Click..."

The heavy barbell fell to the ground, and Lei Ying Ai was completely dumbfounded: "How dare this guy..."

"No, he really dares to do it."
