Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 67 Orochimaru returns to the village

"That certainly sounds like a troublesome matter. Fourth Hokage, do you still intend to continue the war?"

Upon hearing this, Tsuchita also felt that things were somewhat troublesome. If Konoha and the Land of Fire joined forces to fight them, then Kumogakure would definitely not be able to win the war in a short period of time, and might even be dragged into a quagmire.

It's uncertain how Iwagakure will choose then!

The Hidden Cloud Village wasn't afraid of the Hidden Leaf Village. Six years ago, they signed a peace agreement with the Hidden Leaf Village simply because they didn't want to fight to the death with the Hidden Leaf Village and let the Hidden Stone Village benefit from it. Otherwise, they would have to ask the Hidden Leaf Village for a live Byakugan.

The greatest enemy of the Cloud Ninja has never been the weak Leaf Village, but the Iwa Ninja, whose military strength is similar to theirs.

"Lord Raikage, are you really planning to go to war with Konoha? Hakukumo Yosuke was beaten to the punch by Konoha and became the Shogun of the Land of Fire. He might already be loyal to Konoha. Even if we take him away, he probably won't cooperate with us."

"There are many methods, like building an earthen platform, and all we need is to gain control of the interdimensional gate!"

The Fourth Raikage stated firmly, "A world even larger than the ninja world. Once we obtain that, the other ninja villages will have no choice but to submit to us, instead of us obeying their orders!"

"I'm afraid he won't cooperate."

"Then let him cooperate. Samui will become his wife, right? Let Samui go. If that doesn't work, there are many ways for ninjas to extract information. In short, we can't let Konoha get it first."

In the future, the Land of Fire will dominate, and the Cloud Ninja will only receive the minimum allocation. Moreover, his younger brother died in the war, so he sought help from Samui. This time, the Cloud Ninja Village must take the lead.

"Then we'll have to negotiate with Iwagakure, Lord Raikage. We hope they'll be on our side, or at least keep them from taking any further action."

"What did you say?! Tsuchitai, how can you negotiate with those bastards?"

Upon hearing the name Iwa ninja, the Fourth Raikage's temper flared up. His father had died at the hands of Iwa ninja, and throughout the history of the Shinobi World Wars, the enmity between Kumo ninja and Iwa ninja was the greatest.

"With the Iwa ninja holding us back, we can't fully commit to the war to take down Konoha. In that case, Raikage-sama's idea is simply impossible to achieve."

Tsuchitai calmly advised, "It's good to fool the Iwa ninja for now, otherwise we still need to be wary of them."

If the Iwa ninja send another 10,000 ninja while they are at war with Konoha, then they're doomed.

"Um"

The Fourth Raikage fell silent. As the Kage of a village, he couldn't let his temper harm the village, but it would also be difficult for him to compromise with the Iwa ninja.

"We can negotiate with the Iwa ninja, but we can no longer openly use demanding Hakukumo Yosuke as an excuse. The Fire Country Daimyo trusts a young boy so much; he's probably like Samui. Let's explain to the Daimyo that we're declaring war on Konoha under the pretext that our comrade was killed by Konoha ninja!"

Tsuchida quickly came up with a solution: they would ignore Hakuun Yosuke on the surface and focus their attack on Konoha.

"After we defeat Konoha, we can use negotiations or other methods to bring Yosuke Shirakumo to Kumogakure. By then, it will be too late even if the Daimyo of the Land of Fire wants him."

After listening, the Fourth Raikage thought for a moment, then asked the others, "Do you have any other thoughts on Tsuchikage?"

"What Tsuchida-senpai said is very true!"

"Let's do it this way, Lord Raikage."

The people inside the house said that the Cloud Village was not afraid of war, and besides, the earthen platform method was the best.

Seeing that no one objected, the Fourth Raikage said, "Then let's do it this way, Tsuchida. I'll leave everything to you."

"Yes, Lord Raikage!"

After responding, Tsuchikage seemed to remember something and continued, "Lord Raikage, should we put Killer Bee in the first team?"

"No need. We'll consider him once the war reaches a stalemate. Dealing with Konoha doesn't require me and Killer Bee to team up!"

The Fourth Raikage waved his hand and said, "The Yellow Flash is dead. Konoha was at its weakest point recently because they lost the Uchiha clan."

What makes them think they can stand against the Hidden Cloud Village?

------------

Outside the gates of Konoha, many high-ranking ninjas stood together today.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Shikamaru Nara, and twenty or thirty Anbu members and other Jonin stood at the forefront, with Yosuke Shirakumo keeping a slight distance from them.

Even so, Shiraku Yosuke could feel dozens of pairs of eyes staring at him, making him extremely awkward.

After a while, two figures appeared on the road. Bai Yunyangjie breathed a sigh of relief and then walked over.

"Orochimaru, you're so slow. I thought you weren't coming."

"It's really uncomfortable to be stared at by these people, but you'll get used to it eventually, Yosuke-kun."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, and the others walking towards him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. He smiled and said, "Sarutobi-sensei, Jiraiya, it's been a long time since I've seen Tsunade. I forgot to congratulate you on recovering from hemophobia last time."

Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored Orochimaru's greeting and said coldly, "Hmph, Orochimaru, surrender!"

Orochimaru laughed and said, "Didn't I come back to be imprisoned, Sarutobi-sensei?"

"Go to Konoha prison and let's discuss your crimes then."

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could finish speaking, Yosuke Shirakumo interrupted him, saying, "I'm sorry, Third Hokage, the matter concerning Orochimaru has already been discussed, and I will handle it properly."

"Don't think that just because the Daimyo is backing you up, you can boss Konoha around, Yosuke Shirakumo!"

This is Konoha, and Orochimaru is a rogue ninja of Konoha. How we deal with Orochimaru is up to us!

Mitomon Homura said coldly, then waved his hand, ordering the Anbu to surround Orochimaru and Yakushi.

"Is that what you're planning? Well, we'll take our leave then. I'll discuss this with the lord when I have time."

As Hakuyun Yosuke spoke, he placed his hands on Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi, but just as he was about to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave, Tsunade suddenly shouted...

"Wait a minute, all you Anbu, come back here!"

After stopping the Anbu, Tsunade asked Hiruzen Sarutobi with a serious expression, "Old man, what exactly are you planning?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't speak, but instead turned his head and gave Tsunade a deep look, his eyes filled with suspicion.

Not only Hiruzen Sarutobi, but even Jiraiya's eyes were filled with doubt.

This action is so similar to Minato Namikaze's; he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to get him out of danger many times before. This kid has learned it too!?

"Tsunade, it's you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi initially wanted to ask, but then slowly shook his head, dismissing the idea, and instead said to the Anbu, "Come back."

After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Yosuke Shirakumo and said to him, "Orochimaru is your responsibility, but the Anbu must keep watch and report back. This is Konoha's bottom line."

"Ha, the bottom line isn't spoken, it's tested."

Bai Yunyang thought to himself, and only withdrew his hand after seeing that the Anbu had all gone back; this kind of probing was too ridiculous, they really treated him like a nine-year-old child.
