Naruto: My setting is above yours.

The ANBU ninja bowed his head: "Lord Kurotsuchi was also killed by Genma Mikazuki while covering the rear."

Damn it, you wretched brat!

Onoki's anger surged, but he gritted his teeth and didn't let himself roar out loud.

The ANBU ninja glanced at the enraged Onoki, then continued his report: "Information from the front lines says that Genma Mikaze single-handedly used Wood Release to block our attack and even turned the tables on us, forcing our troops to retreat."

"When Lao Zi and Han were covering the rear, they wanted to join forces to deal with Yu Feng Xuan Ma, but unexpectedly..."

Wood Release!

Another Hashirama Senju?

Onoki's face was grim, and when he thought of Genma's age, his heart sank to the bottom.

At that age, he could easily be outlived.

If the next Tsuchikage of Iwagakure is his son, Kyoto, he probably won't be able to put up much of a fight against the growing Wood Release ninjas.

Most importantly, from Genma's actions, Onoki saw that this kid had a completely different style from Hashirama Senju back then.

After a moment's thought, Onoki immediately ordered, "Notify the Land of Wind to withdraw their troops!"

"Furthermore, arrange for reinforcements immediately, a thousand in number. The first batch must depart with me by tomorrow at the latest!"

The ANBU ninja were shocked: "Lord Tsuchikage, are you going to the battlefield in person?"

Onoki's expression turned grim: "Only I can deal with Konoha's Wood Release ninjas!"

After the ANBU ninja left, Onoki fell into deep thought again.

Konoha's great victory will definitely have an impact on Kusagakure.

If Konoha forces Amegakure to abandon the interests of the Land of Grass, then the previous plans will completely collapse.

That night, the lights in Tsuchikage's office were on full display.

After daybreak, Onoki made new arrangements once again.

A high-ranking official was dispatched to lead a team to the Rain Shadow Battlefield.

Onoki plans to negotiate with Amegakure and sell out Kusagakure!

Konoha has already regained the power of Hashirama's era. It's too strong. There shouldn't be such a powerful existence in the ninja world!

"I believe Hanzo wouldn't want such a powerful Konoha by his side either!"

Onoki's gaze turned icy, and then he leaped out the door.

He's about to leave!

……

Northwest of the Land of Rain.

Inside a cave on the front lines.

Hanzo's expression changed drastically as he listened to his subordinates report the intelligence from Konoha: "They even took down the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure?"

"That young man from back then has become even stronger!"

A Rain Ninja said, "Lord Hanzo, Konoha's great victory is a good thing for us."

"In order to deal with the threat from Konoha, Iwagakure may retreat from the Land of Rain."

Hanzo nodded slightly: "That is indeed a possibility, but it is more likely that Iwagakure has retreated from the Land of Wind, where they have already gained enough benefits."

"This may not be a good thing for us."

"With the threat from Iwagakure gone, there is a high probability that Sunagakure will attack us after defeating Kirigakure."

The many rain ninjas inside the cave were startled upon hearing this, and upon careful consideration, they realized it was indeed true.

A Rain Ninja suggested, "Lord Hanzo, why don't we discuss with Konoha and take down Kusagakure first?"

"Therefore, it would be worthwhile to give a portion of the Land of Grass's profits to Konoha!"

The other Rain Ninjas nodded in agreement.

Hanzo hesitated for a moment, then ordered, "Spread the news of Konoha's victory so that every ninja on the front lines knows, and so do the Iwa ninja."

"Yes."

Immediately, Yu Ren left the cave to spread the news.

At the forefront of the battlefield.

Yahiko, who was monitoring the Iwa ninja, turned around after hearing footsteps and saw Konan walking quickly towards him: "Is there something urgent, Konan?"

Nagato turned around upon hearing this.

Konan ran up to the two of them and squatted down: "It's a message from Lord Hanzo. The battle between Konoha and Iwagakure has yielded significant results."

"The four-tailed and five-tailed Jinchuriki of Iwagakure were killed on the battlefield by Konoha, and even the commander was killed in battle."

Yahiko and Nagato were both taken aback when they heard this.

After becoming Hanzo's subordinates, they gained access to a great deal of information they had never known before.

When the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of the Cloud Ninja was defeated by Konoha and the Third Raikage was severely injured, they specifically asked Hanzo about it and learned how terrifying the Tailed Beasts were.

Now that Konoha has killed the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, it means that Iwagakure has lost two powerful weapons of war.

"Konan, who took care of it? Was it Jiraiya-sensei?"

Yahiko asked hurriedly.

They knew that Jiraiya was the commander of Konoha in the Battle of Iwagakure.

Konan shook her head: "It's the person who defeated the Third Raikage."

Yahiko exclaimed: "Konoha Arashi!"

"What an amazing guy! I heard he's even younger than us!"

Nagato asked, "Now that Iwagakure has been defeated, will they withdraw from the Land of Rain?"

Yahiko thought for a moment and then shook his head: "We can't judge for now. In any case, we can't be careless."

He then laughed again: "But this is still good news."

"Konoha is our ally, so even if Iwa ninja doesn't withdraw their troops, the pressure on us here will be reduced."

"Once we defeat the Iwa ninja, we'll go and suggest to Lord Hanzo that we push for peace talks and end the war once and for all."

Nagato and Konan nodded in unison.

Unbeknownst to them, a White Zetsu head emerged from a small hill in the distance, watching them.

at the same time.

In the northern part of the Land of Fields, further north into the Land of Iron, on a peninsula that extends into the sea, lies the Graveyard of Mountains, within a vast underground base.

The elderly Madara Uchiha was also listening to White Zetsu report on the situation outside.

Chapter 109 The Third Tsuchikage Ginseng

"Oh?"

"The Wooden Golem Technique... have the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki been dealt with?"

Madara Uchiha was slightly surprised.

Because Yu Feng Xuanma had used Wood Release during his battle with Yunyin, he had asked Bai Zetsu to be careful. He never expected such a pleasant surprise.

The masked White Zetsu looked at the astonished Uchiha Madara and asked worriedly, "Lord Madara, don't you think the appearance of such a powerful person will have a significant impact on your future plans?"

"After all, he might be another ninja god, Hashirama Senju!"

Madara Uchiha said with a hint of disdain, "These mere grains of sand are not even half as good as Hashirama!"

The masked White Zetsu was shocked: "Lord Madara, even the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, wouldn't have had such strength at Genma's age, would he?"

"He's still only 10 years old!"

Madara Uchiha's expression stiffened slightly after being rebuked.

Ten-year-old Hashirama... uh, it looks like he's skipping stones?!

Childhood memories came to mind.

A moment later, Madara Uchiha broke free from his memories and snorted coldly, "He's just a low-quality copy of Hashirama. This is already his limit."

After a pause, Madara Uchiha glanced at the masked White Zetsu and said, "He's only slightly stronger than you guys."

Faced with such an offense, White Zetsu calmly accepted it: "Although we are both inferior copies, I was created by you, Madara-sama, while Genma was created by Konoha. So the root of this problem still lies with you, Madara-sama."

Madara Uchiha scoffed, "I didn't create you to argue."

"Is there any other important intelligence?"

The masked White Zetsu laughed and said, "The Third Tsuchikage has already gone to the battlefield. It is foreseeable that he will have a wonderful duel with Hashirama Genma."

"Lord Ban, would you be interested in seeing it for yourself?"

Madara Uchiha slowly lowered his eyes: "No need, just have the other White Zetsu keep an eye on things."

"Keep a close eye on the situation with Nagato. Given the current circumstances, an opportunity may arise soon."

The masked White Zetsu nodded: "Understood!"

……

Hidden Cloud Village.

Raikage's office.

Because of the distance, the Cloud Village received the message not much faster than the Rain Village.

The Third Raikage was quite shocked by the information and showed no sign of gloating; instead, his expression was solemn.

The nine tailed beasts are powerful the more tails they have.

However, even the Eight-Tails could not defeat the Four-Tails and Five-Tails together.

Even at his peak, he would probably only be evenly matched with these two tailed beasts at best.
