"What exactly do you want?" Hiashi Hyuga sensed that the other party's words were clearly implying something, and immediately asked.

"Let me go back." Shinagawa Isuke stated his demand bluntly. "I can return your daughter to you. But in return, I want to take these two traitors from our village with me!"

……

That's right. After learning of Samui and Yugito's betrayal, he completely changed his mind. Executing these two traitors was now more urgent than the Hyuga clan's bloodline limit!

"They are the Hokage's people," Hiashi Hyuga said coldly. "We have no right to deal with them."

"Then let your Hokage come out and talk to me personally!" Shinagawa Isuke's attitude was extremely arrogant. "If you don't want to start a war, you'd better agree to my demands."

"Is that so?" Just then, a soft, youthful voice suddenly rang out. Wuyue, clad in a divine robe and with black hair flowing in the wind, slowly revealed himself. "So, you can represent the entire Hidden Cloud Village?"

"Lord Hokage!" "Lord Hokage has arrived!" "Master!"

Upon seeing the boy, everyone from the Hyuga clan, Yugito, and Samui bowed respectfully.

"Konoha...Celestial Dragon?!" Even Shinagawa Isuke's pupils contracted, a suffocating feeling rising within him. Seeing this legend of the ninja world before him, the legendary figure who had single-handedly annihilated the entire elite force of Kumogakure, he was filled with fear, no matter how boastful he had been before.

It was as if the person standing there wasn't a smiling, sunny young man, but rather a terrifying, ferocious beast capable of devouring anyone who dared to harm them.

"I'm asking you a question. Are you sure you can represent the entire Hidden Cloud Village?" Wuyue looked at him calmly and asked.

"I, I..." At this moment, Shinagawa Isuke hesitated, and even dared not answer directly.

"Alright, let's start the war then." Wuyue said with a contemptuous tone, "Later, I will personally issue a challenge to your Fourth Raikage. That will save you the trouble."

380 That's just being willful!

How could this happen?!

Not only Shinagawa Ichisuke, but even the Hyuga clan and the two girls, Yugito, were shocked. War is no child's play; how could someone just casually mention it? And why did they seem so indifferent?

"You, Lord Hokage... are you bluffing?" Shinagawa Isuke asked, his body trembling and his eyes filled with fear.

"Bluster? With an ant like you?" Wu Yue said with a face full of disdain, "What right do you have to make me even think about bluffing?"

“I, I…” Shinagawa Isuke was speechless.

In fact, from the moment Wuyue appeared, he was suppressed from all sides, with no possibility of turning the tables.

"Stop with the 'you' and 'me' stuff." Wuyue crossed her arms and sneered, "Since you want to be a hero, I'll grant your wish. The entire ninja world will be engulfed in war because of you alone. How about that? Pretty famous, huh? Even if you die, you'll have no regrets."

"No!" As if he had seen some terrifying ending, Shinagawa Isuke cried out, "I beg you. Even if it's a plea, please, please take back this idea. Please!" As he spoke, he knelt down and pressed his head to the ground.

"What, are you scared now?" Wu Yue seemed to have anticipated this move and said coldly, "What happened to your boastful words?"

"Please forgive me!" Shinagawa Isuke said respectfully.

Make your choice, dear host.

First, since you're going to apologize, why don't you hurry up and hand the big boss a little girl?

Second, if you're going to apologize, why not show off your gold?

Third, since you're going to apologize, why not offer up your chrysanthemum?

Wow, this is a long-awaited mission.

Wu Yue's lips twitched slightly, a helpless expression on her face. These three options, in any sense, could only have one answer. "Since you're going to apologize, why don't you hurry up and hand the big boss a loli?"

"Wh-what?" Shinagawa Ichisuke was completely bewildered.

"Master, you're being indecent again."

"This perverted lolicon."

Yukito and Samui whispered to each other, looking at Mugetsu with disdain.

"Don't you understand?" Wu Yue frowned and said, "Hand over the little girl next to you. Then, I'll consider whether to give up my previous idea."

"Yes, yes..." At this moment, Shinagawa Ichisuke felt humiliated. However, he also felt helpless. Under the triple threat of the other party's strength, status, and prestige, he could only respectfully lift up the little girl and hand her over to the other party.

"Congratulations, host, for completing the selection. You will be rewarded with fifty days of cultivation and five years of dragon growth cycle."

The system notification sound finally put Wuyue at ease. She took the little girl and said calmly, "Very good, I like obedient children." She then tore open the bag, revealing the little girl's delicate head.

"Miss..."

"Are you okay?"

"Ah, it's alright. I just fainted during the bumpy ride." Wuyue stretched out her right hand, and a soft green light emanated from it, covering Hinata's head.

Sure enough, the little girl woke up quickly, her greyish-white pupils opening to reveal the handsome face of the young man. "You, you are... the Hokage... sir?"

"Hmm, hello there, Hinata-kun." Wuyue smiled and said.

"Thank you so much, Hokage-sama." Hiashi Hyuga finally stepped forward and said respectfully, "If it weren't for you, my daughter..."

"Ah, no need to thank me." Wuyue waved her hand and said, "This is what I should do. Besides, your daughter is nice and quite cute."

Ok?

Hiashi Hyuga raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise on his face... Could this be some kind of hint? I've heard that the Hokage has a certain peculiar fondness for young girls, could it be true?

Wuyue, naturally unaware of the other party's thoughts, gazed at Shinagawa Ichisuke before her. "Let's leave it at that. You can decide what to do with this guy yourselves." She turned and left.

……

……

a few days later.

Kumogakure, Raikage's office.

"Is this the result you wanted?" Standing beside the desk, the Raikage was furious, holding a letter of apology in his hand, and said coldly, "Not only did you lose more than a dozen elite ninjas, but you also made Konoha resent you!"

"It just shows how incompetent Shinagawa is." Opposite him, an old man with a beard said, "Hmph, he can even mess up such a small thing."

"Damn it! Is this a trivial matter?" The Fourth Raikage slammed his hand on the table and sneered, "Capture the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan at Konoha's headquarters? Is your brain filled with mush?"

"Watch your words, Ai!" At this moment, the man next to the old man stepped forward and said, "Be sure to show respect to the elder!"

"Respecting you will only embolden you!" Lei 3.1 sneered, "We have completely lost the initiative in our policy towards Konoha. Now we'd better pray that they don't retaliate because of this!"

"Does this mean we don't even have the strength to fight?" another Cloud Ninja asked, frowning.

"A war?" The Fourth Raikage sneered, "With the current strength of the Konoha Heavenly Dragons, destroying our entire village wouldn't require much effort."

"what?"

"one person?"

"How is that possible!"

"Hmph." The Fourth Raikage didn't offer any further explanation and turned to leave the office.

381 Unexpected Visitor

The tavern near South Street in Kumogakure.

"Big brother. Is Shinagawa really dead?" Killer Bee asked doubtfully, holding his sake glass.

"There is no definitive information indicating that." After a moment of silence, Raikage said, "However, based on the situation, the chances of death are very high."

“Really? That’s a real shame.” Killer Bee sighed. “He was a good young man.”

"Not bad, is it?" Raikage poured the sake in his hand into his mouth and said lightly, "It's a pity that it was used as a tool for testing by those elders."

"Should I say it's pathetic?" Killer Bee asked with a complicated expression.

"It was his own choice, wasn't it?" Raikage refilled his cup and said in a strange tone, "Knowing it was a mission he was destined to die on."

"Are we just going to let this go?" Killer Bee couldn't accept it.

"Forget it?" Raikage 07 sneered, "No! We should pray that the Hidden Leaf Village's Heavenly Dragon doesn't actually have any intention of fighting. Otherwise, the Hidden Cloud Village is doomed."

"He's already this strong?" Killer Bee asked in astonishment.

"Do you remember the complete annihilation of that cult in the Land of Hot Water several years ago?" The Raikage paused for a moment before speaking. "The terrifying battle scars and the enormous meteorite crater."

Killer Bee paused, then asked, "Did he do it?"

"Yes," Raikage sighed, "Faced with such a natural disaster, can human power truly overcome it?"

silence.

Killer Bee fell silent. Indeed, even he, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, felt a chill run down his spine upon witnessing such a sight. This power could truly be called a "calamity of nature."

"Then, we can only..."

"The Konoha Celestial Dragons are indeed very strong." Before Killer Bee could finish speaking, a voice suddenly rang out. "But they are not invincible."

"Ok?"

Who are you?

Both the Raikage and Killer Bee turned their gazes to the side, where two mysterious figures shrouded in black robes were hidden from view.

"Nice to meet you both." One of the men in black robes stepped forward and unfastened his hood. "My name is Uchiha Madara." Crimson light flashed in his eyes.

Madara Uchiha? Impossible, that guy has been dead for decades.

The two brothers, AB and AB, looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.

"Well, I know you might have doubts." Obito, who called himself Uchiha Madara, spoke calmly, yet with a unique arrogance. "Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter. As long as you know, we're here to help you, that's enough."

Help us?

Both the Raikage and Killer Bee were taken aback. The former reacted first, sneering, "As the ancestor of the Uchiha clan and one of the founders of Konoha, you actually want to help people from another village? That's the funniest joke I've ever heard. I don't care who you are. Whether you're Uchiha Madara or some other ancient elder, this village doesn't welcome you. Get out of here."

"Is it really that funny?" Obito remained noncommittal, saying, "Actually, you're quite worried, aren't you, Fourth Raikage? I believe you've already sensed the intentions of the Konoha Celestial Dragons through some channels."

"What's the intention?" Unlike his older brother's solemn expression, Killer Bee was completely bewildered.

"Collect the Tailed Beasts and dominate the entire world." Obito dropped a bombshell, saying, "The strength of the Konoha Celestial Dragons is indeed so great that it is difficult for anyone to match him. Even if he were alone, destroying an entire ninja village would be a piece of cake. But what is truly terrifying about him is his ability to devour the Tailed Beasts and utilize them."

"Devouring...a Tailed Beast?" Killer Bee was stunned, and even the Raikage looked astonished. He muttered to himself, "So, that was indeed Devouring?"

Seeing that the expressions on the two men's faces were clearly wavering, Obito pressed on, saying, "As far as I know, apart from the Seven-Tails of Takigakure and the Eight-Tails inside your brother, all the other tailed beasts have already been captured by Yuhi Mugetsuki. And once he gathers all nine tailed beasts, the entire ninja world will be finished."

"What do you mean? What strange changes will occur when all nine tailed beasts gather together?" Killer Bee keenly noticed the meaning behind the other party's words.

“When all nine tailed beasts come together, they will become a new entity.” Obito narrowed his eyes and said softly, “Its name is Ten-Tails. It possesses the power to destroy the world. And if someone uses Ten-Tails as a vessel to become a Jinchūriki, they will fully enter the state of the Sage of Six Paths. At that time, even if everyone in the entire ninja world attacked together, they would never be a match for it.”

"The Sage of Six Paths?"

"Isn't that just a legend?"
