Konoha: Offer your heart to the Hokage!

The high-ranking members of Kumogakure fell silent in thought as they read Hashirama's reply.

The Second Hokage, A, looked displeased: "Damn it, that medical ninja from Konoha doesn't dare to come over at all."

Everyone was deeply worried.

"What should we do now? Should we really send the First Raikage to Konoha?"

"What if Konoha secretly plots against the First Hokage..."

"Hashirama Senju is not Tobirama Senju after all; he shouldn't do something so shameless."

The second-generation Aiman ​​was conflicted: "I'll go ask the first generation leader for his opinion."

Sending a villager to another country for treatment carries enormous risks.

If given a choice, no one would choose to do this. But the First Raikage was critically injured, and they couldn't stand idly by; they had no choice but to seek help from Konoha.

Despite being covered in bandages, the First Raikage remained seated at his workstation, approving documents.

He wasn't surprised to learn that Konoha had refused to allow Shen to make house calls in Kumogakure: "As expected."

"First Hokage, are you still going to Konoha?"

"Go!" The First A didn't give up on the chance to live: "The situation can't get any worse than it is now. If I don't get effective treatment, I won't last a month. If Konoha dares to take advantage of this to harm me, it will only enhance my reputation."

"Besides, I am not someone to be trifled with. Even with Hashirama Senju here, I can still cause chaos in Konoha before I die and make them pay the price."

However, with his Lightning Release chakra activated, his extremely high mobility was enough to inflict severe damage on Konoha.

"I will send my secret agents to escort you there right now."

After Konoha established its Anbu, other ninja villages followed suit and formed their own Anbu in a similar manner.

"No need! Who knows whether the Dark Guard will protect me or I will protect the Dark Guard?" The First A stretched his arms. "Use the Heavenly Transfer Technique to teleport me directly to the Land of Fire."

"A divinely ordained technique? Can your body handle it?"

"Rest assured, only Cloud Village ninjas who can withstand the Heavenly Gift Technique at any time are qualified to bear the name of Raikage."

"Okay, we will send a ninja team to meet you outside Konoha Village after your treatment is finished."

The First Raikage, his upper body wrapped in bandages, walked into the Heavenly Transfer Technique teleportation array surrounded by a crowd.

With a flash of white light, it disappeared from the spot with a whoosh.

...

Gospel Hospital.

Accompanied by Hashirama, Shen Er brought the First Generation Ai into the VIP ward.

The reply was delivered to Kumogakure during the day, and the First Hokage, A, appeared on the outskirts of Konoha Village that afternoon. Excluding the time it took them to make a decision, it was as if he had ignored the distance and teleported directly to the village's entrance.

"The art of divine intervention is truly extraordinary..."

While examining the Raikage, Shen Er's mind was divided, and he thought of the methods used by the Hidden Cloud Village.

The Heavenly Delivery Technique is the most important strategic secret technique of the Hidden Cloud Village, enabling the Raikage to instantly strike any area of ​​the ninja world.

However, it is not a space-time ninjutsu, but rather uses special chakra to accelerate objects and teleport the target to a designated location outside the barrier.

Due to the extremely high teleportation speed, the human body experiences intense friction with the air, generating a massive overload. An ordinary ninja's body will turn into a bloody mist upon landing, while a slightly stronger ninja will have their body torn apart, turning them into a Shang Yang cosplayer.

Therefore, this technique is mostly used only for teleporting objects.

Only the Raikage of each generation could withstand the side effects of the Heavenly Gift Technique, as their physical strength could withstand ultra-high-speed friction; Hashirama and Tsunade, who had activated the Hundred Healings Technique, could also withstand the side effects, and the grandfather and granddaughter's bodies healed faster than their bodies could be torn apart.

Although the chakra consumption for the caster is terrifying, and it can only be applied to the Raikage, the deterrent effect it has on the various ninja villages is in no way inferior to that of the tailed beasts.

The prerequisite for the Flying Thunder God Technique is having the Flying Thunder God Seal as a coordinate.

The Heavenly Gift Technique has no prerequisites.

If I had to put it in perspective, it's that the user can't use it themselves; it has to be performed by a support-type ninja.

This means that the Raikage's attack range covers any location and any time in the entire ninja world.

The Hidden Cloud Village made no attempt to conceal its intention in sending the Raikage to Konoha, probably hoping to use this opportunity to intimidate Konoha and prevent them from having any ulterior motives towards their Raikage.

About Hidden Cloud Village.

Their lightning release techniques, taijutsu, Six Paths tools...

These are all unnecessary.

He was determined to obtain the Heavenly Gift Technique.

It would be best if I could learn the Flying Thunder God Technique from the sealing technique in the future. Even if I don't have that space-time talent, mastering the Heavenly Delivery Technique would be enough.

Is there any potential in combining the Impure World Reincarnation technique with the Heavenly Gift Technique?

The Impure World Body is immune to body tearing. If an Impure World ninja can be teleported to any location in the ninja world, as long as there is a Jinchuriki's accurate coordinates, a surprise attack can be launched against the Jinchuriki and the Tailed Beasts can be seized.

They come without a trace, but leave a mark when they go.

Besides the impure body, Shen'er's original body can also withstand the side effects of the Heavenly Gift Technique.

A mere blow to the bone, a fatal injury...

He has five lives, and the chakra within his body can be transformed into Earth Grudge Threads. Even if his body is torn apart upon landing after teleportation, he can instantly repair himself and regain his fighting power.

Correction to the foreword: Even undead like Shinji, Kakuzu, and Hidan in the future can withstand the side effects of the Heavenly Gift Technique.

Strategic secrets, any ninja village would keep a close watch on them.

In the past, or even decades later, there would have been no chance at all to acquire the Heavenly Gift Technique.

But sometime in the next decade, a golden historical opportunity will arise.

On that day, a major event that shocked the ninja world broke out.

[Golden Horn and Silver Horn rebel.]

On that day, the Second Raikage will be assassinated during the Gold and Silver Brothers Rebellion.

On that day, Tobirama Senju, who has become the Second Hokage, and his Shadow Guard will be hunted down. Tobirama will ultimately sacrifice himself to protect the members of the Shadow Guard.

The Third Raikage will then intervene to suppress the rebellion.

The entire Land of Lightning will be plunged into chaos.

This chaos may last only a day, or it may drag on for a week, but no matter how long it lasts, everyone will seize this historic window of opportunity to take advantage of the chance to obtain the Heavenly Gift Technique.

Let's return to the present.

Hashirama asked from the side, "How is A's injury?"

After completing his examination of the First Raikage's wounds, Shen'er said gravely, "A very strong Tailed Beast chakra was detected in the Raikage's wounds. The injury has been left untreated for too long, and it has already invaded his body..."

"I already knew all this back in the village!" the Raikage interrupted impatiently. "The village's medical ninjas couldn't cure it, that's why I came to Konoha. Can you even cure it?"

That old man is really short-tempered.

I hope that when you open your eyes after you die and emerge from the Edo Tensei body, you'll still be this volatile.

Shen Er narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly said, "It can't be cured, it can only delay the injury."

"Delay?" Ai's expression softened slightly.

Even slowing down the injury would be a great help, since the village's medical ninjas couldn't even extend his lifespan.

"How long can it be delayed?"

"At most, we can give you three more months to live."

"Three months it is, just treat me."

"Ok."

Shen Er released Earth Grudge from his palm, reminding him, "Relax, Lord Raikage. Your physical strength is too high; my Heavenly Compassion Lines may not be able to break through your skin."

"Hehe, that's true."

Although Raikage Ai instinctively felt uncomfortable with the Earth Grudge Fear, after being flattered by Shen'er, he relaxed his tense muscles and allowed the Earth Grudge Fear to pierce his skin.

Shen Er began to treat him seriously.

His diagnosis was not lying; the Raikage was truly beyond saving, but he could use his medical ninjutsu to extend his life a little longer.

It's mainly for the sake of reputation...

The Gospel Hospital currently enjoys a stellar reputation only within Konoha, lacking renown throughout the ninja world. With the Raikage as its spokesperson, the other Second Kage who have accepted his medical cards should seriously consider this when they're nearing their end.

The Earth Grudge Line begins to absorb the Eight-Tails' chakra from the Raikage's body.

At the same time, perceive its internal body.

Even more noticeable is that this guy's physical strength is even higher than Hashirama's.

Putting aside his healing ability, in a pure head-on physical confrontation, Hashirama is no match for him. But if his healing ability is taken into account, Hashirama could fight the Raikage for an entire day.

The difference between two Kage is greater than the difference between a Jonin and a Genin.

However, the quality of his Lightning Release heart is quite good, much stronger than the Lightning Release heart of the special Jonin inside Jin'er's body.

One hour later.

Shen Er withdrew his resentment, saying, "The treatment is complete."

"I need to remind Lord Raikage that using chakra in the coming period will hasten your death. Without using chakra, your lifespan can be extended by a maximum of three months."

"That's none of your business."

Even as the First Raikage stepped off the operating table and stretched his arms.

Because of his excessively high physical strength, it was impossible to use Earthly Grudge Parasite on him. The only option was to silently place a mark on his body using Earthly Grudge Threads.

In this way, when the First Raikage passes away three months later, he will be able to sense the location of his body.

At that time.

Grave exhumation, coffin opening, corpse theft, and then...

The puppet is created, and then resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation!

The creation of the first Kage-level Edo Tensei body is already on the agenda.
