Naruto: My setting is above yours.

"We need to either get the Grass Village to wage war against the Amegakure, or get the Amegakure to launch an attack on the Land of Grass."

Onoki was organizing his plans.

The situation in Kusagakure has already softened.

Amegakure first conquered the Land of Rivers, then reorganized the Land of Rain, and its strength expanded rapidly.

They have now driven out ninjas from other ninja villages from the Land of Rain.

Faced with such a formidable village as Amegakure, the Land of Grass could not help but panic.

However, a catalyst is still needed to bring both Amegakure and Kusagakure into a state of war.

After putting down the intelligence, Onoki closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before opening them to make a decision.

……

One day later.

In Amegakure, the spirited Hanzo looked at the document in his hand, his gaze suddenly sharpening: "Assassinate the Daimyo of the Land of Grass?"

He looked up at his capable assistant, Xie Yu: "Who commissioned this mission?"

Xie Yu respectfully replied, "Lord Hanzo, we haven't found out the truth yet."

"The person who commissioned the task concealed their identity, and did so very well. However, this is usually how these kinds of tasks are handled."

Amegakure is very skilled at assassination and has taken on many political assassination missions.

However, although the Land of Grass is a small country, it is only in comparison to the large countries like the Land of Fire.

This is, after all, a country with its own ninja village, and this is the first time we've had a mission like assassinating its daimyo.

"Lord Hanzo, I believe this is very likely a mission commissioned by someone within the Land of Grass."

Xie Yu analyzed, "Currently, the situation in the Land of Grass is turbulent due to the friction between Konoha and Iwagakure, and it can almost be said that it has been divided into three factions."

Hanzo nodded slightly; he knew this.

He has been paying particular attention to information about the Land of Grass and the Hidden Grass Village lately.

He has already adopted the advice given by that kid Yu Feng Xuan Ma and completed the first and second steps.

Now that the Land of Rain has been integrated, the strength of Amegakure has basically returned to the level before the Second Shinobi World War.

So there aren't actually many targets left to target.

The Land of Grass is the closest, but it has a Grass Ninja Village, which is quite strong and is related to Konoha and Iwagakure.

As an ally, Konoha would not allow him to wage war against the Land of Grass...

Forming an alliance with Konoha definitely has significant limitations!

Hanzo snorted inwardly and then began to think.

So, should I accept this task?

In the past, there would have been no need to consider it; they would have simply accepted it, as the situation outside was irrelevant to Amegakure.

But things are different now.

Seeing Hanzo deep in thought, Xieyu said, "Lord Hanzo, if the Daimyo of the Land of Grass dies, the Land of Grass will surely fall into chaos, which will be to our advantage."

"Secondly, hiring someone for such a task does not violate any rules."

"If it's revealed that we carried out this, and the Land of Grass and the Hidden Grass Village want to investigate, then it will give us a perfect excuse. In that case, even the Hidden Leaf Village can't say anything."

Hanzo nodded, then asked, "Is it possible that the person who commissioned the task also hopes for this outcome?"

Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "Lord Hanzo, no matter who this person is or what his purpose is, as long as the outcome is beneficial to the village, none of that matters!"

One sentence captivated Hanzo.

After a moment's thought, he nodded: "I will accept this task and complete it at all costs!"

It's a win-win situation: you can earn a commission and it will benefit the village at the same time!

……

Northern part of the Land of Fire.

Genma, who was pondering the Summoning Jutsu, looked up, and then Yamashiro Aoba rushed in: "Genma, the Cloud Ninja have arrived, and there's also... possibly the Third Raikage!"

finally come!

Xuanma's spirits lifted.

Sakumo Hatake then came out of the room.

They've been conserving their energy these past few days. Yamashiro Aoba was temporarily assigned to the perception class, while Shizune went to the medical class.

The three of them set off together, using the Instantaneous Movement Technique to leave.

The location of the last major battle is no longer the front line.

After Orochimaru and his group arrived, another batch of reinforcements arrived, and now Konoha has deployed more than 300 troops on its northern and northeastern borders.

There were no genin among these ninjas!

Therefore, after having sufficient troops, Konoha's defense line continued to push towards the border, all the way to the borders of the Land of Fire, the Land of Fields, and the Land of Hot Springs.

Once outside the cabin, the three used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to head towards the border at top speed.

About five minutes later, the three arrived, with Genma and their teacher, Hatake Sakumo, landing on Orochimaru's left and right sides respectively.

"Orochimaru-senpai, has the Third Raikage arrived?"

Xuanma asked.

Orochimaru glanced at him, smiled, and said, "It was seen by the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, so it shouldn't be wrong."

"Genma-kun, are you ready?"

Genma smiled and said, "The Third Raikage, who is said to be the strongest, is someone to look forward to."

He had already taken off his armor and was now wearing a Chunin vest.

Since the armor was damaged in the previous battle and could not be repaired on the battlefield, it was decided to take it off temporarily.

I must say, my body does feel much lighter.

The Konoha ninjas scattered around heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but feel that it was too crazy.

But then they also felt a sense of anticipation.

The legendary Wood Release technique—finally, I can witness it with my own eyes!

Moreover, the opponent is the Third Raikage, an existence just like the Third Hokage, so his strength must be extremely powerful!

Whoosh~

A whooshing sound came as Hyuga Hizashi, wearing a Jonin vest, landed not far in front of Genma.

"Lord Orochimaru, the Cloud Ninja have arrived, and it's confirmed that the Third Raikage is personally leading the team!"

Hyuga Hizashi said to Orochimaru, then glanced at Genma.

Xuanma nodded slightly, then lowered his eyes.

Sage Mode!

In three seconds, his body was filled with Sage Chakra. Then he opened his eyes, raised his hands, and formed hand seals.

Transformation!

Instantly, his eyes turned golden.

Xuanma used to like transforming into a falcon, and the color of the falcon's eyes was almost indistinguishable from his own black.

In order to train his summoned beasts, Yamashiro Aoba not only studied crows but also other birds, especially birds of prey like eagles.

Among the many species of eagles, the goshawk has the best eyesight, not the falcon.

During the two days of waiting, Xuanma sent a clone to find a hawk to observe.

Therefore, today he used the eagle's eagle eye to perform a partial transformation.

Orochimaru turned his head and saw the change in Yufeng Genma's eyes. His eyes narrowed slightly: "Some kind of eye technique?"

"They even awakened other bloodline limits?"

He became increasingly interested in the child in front of him.

"arrive!"

Sakumo Hatake reminded everyone.

Orochimaru looked back and saw figures appearing a hundred meters away, the tall figure at the head being none other than the Third Raikage.

The Third Raikage, who landed on the ground, immediately locked onto the Wind-Riding Horse.

This was the first time he had seen it, but he had seen the portrait before.

Moreover, their positions and attire were quite distinctive.

Orochimaru and Konoha's White Fang were both already famous ninjas.

Genma's gaze also fell on the Third Raikage. Their eyes met, and the air seemed to suddenly become scorching hot.

"Wind-riding Xuanma, Konoha Ranga, it is truly remarkable to have achieved such success at such a young age."

The Third Raikage immediately began by praising.

Genma smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Lord Raikage. My achievements are nothing compared to yours."

"After all, you are known as the strongest Raikage of all time, with the titles of the strongest shield and the strongest spear."

"As a junior, I'd love to witness the prowess of the strongest Raikage!"

A very humble challenge!

The Third Raikage's long hair and beard danced in the wind, and his body was suddenly enveloped in lightning chakra, with arcs of electricity flickering on his skin.

"Then let this old man see your Wood Release and Lightning Release. Make your move, young man."

"Of course, Orochimaru, and Konoha's White Fang, you can come along too!"

As Hatake Sakumo reached for his sword, Genma immediately said, "Master, let me test Raikage's strength first!"
