Naruto: My setting is above yours.

"Keep an eye on Nagato; our plan may be about to begin."

Madara Uchiha gave the order, then slowly closed his eyes to rest.

……

In Amegakure, Hanzo, upon hearing his subordinate's report, couldn't help but show a look of surprise: "They actually killed the Third Mizukage?"

"That kid's growth is truly unbelievable."

The kid who was his equal back then is about to reach the pinnacle of the ninja world in just a few years.

This inevitably cast a shadow of worry over his heart.

The betrayal of the alliance with Konoha is a fact. Once Konoha has dealt with Sunagakure, won't they retaliate?

Join forces with Sunagakure?

A thought popped into Hanzo's mind, but he quickly suppressed it.

This won't stop Konoha, and it won't stop the Wind-Riding Xuanma!

As thoughts flashed through his mind and plans were rejected one by one, a sense of despair began to grow in Hanzo's heart.

After finally conquering the Land of Grass and half of the Land of Rivers, are we really going to be reduced to nothing?

Hanzo was unwilling to accept this!

"The key is the Wind-Riding Black Horse. If we can take care of him..."

Hanzo's eyes flickered.

……

The day after the Third Mizukage died.

In the Land of Earth, in Iwagakure, Onoki finally received the intelligence, and his expression immediately turned grim.

How long has it been? Has that brat's strength improved again?

Although he respected Hashirama Senju, he did not want to see another Hashirama Senju appear in the ninja world.

In particular, this guy has an extremely wicked personality and holds ideologies completely different from Hashirama Senju.

The Asura of the Ninja World!

Onoki thought of that man.

"This little brat isn't the next Hashirama Senju, he's Uchiha... Madara!"

Ōnoki gritted his teeth.

Although it was the Third Mizukage who died.

It's inevitable that we'll feel a sense of loss, like the rabbit mourning the fox's death.

Moreover, with a villain like Yufeng Genma around, the ninja world will never be peaceful again.

Thinking back to the last time that Genma had forcibly broken into the village, Onoki couldn't help but feel lingering fear.

If we had acted then... the consequences would have been unpredictable!

Thinking about all this, Onoki completely gave up the idea of ​​continuing to fight against Konoha.

Without a way to restrain that little rascal Yu Feng Xuan Ma, any plan will fail.

So, is the ninja world about to enter the era of that little rascal, Genma Mikazuki?

Onoki felt very upset when he thought about this.

After thinking for a moment, Onoki flew out of the office and headed to the Ninja Academy.

Someone has to stand up to that little brat!

……

The Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure only received the information three days after the death of the Third Mizukage.

Not only that, there's also information that Pakura didn't die and appeared in Konoha.

This sent chills down the spine of the Fourth Kazekage, even overshadowing the shock of the Third Kazekage's death.

It doesn't matter that Yekura didn't die.

The important thing is that Yekura is still alive and in Konoha.

The exposure of the scandal will be a huge blow to morale and will severely damage his prestige as the newly appointed Wind Shadow.

Moreover, does Genma Mizukage, who killed the Third Mizukage, have the ability to deal with these high-ranking members of Sunagakure?

The Fourth Kazekage's expression turned solemn, and he then ordered heightened security.

They are currently engaged in battle with Konoha, and there is a very high possibility that Genma Yufeng will launch a surprise attack on Sunagakure.

Moreover, as the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa had to consider another issue.

If Yu Feng Xuanma really comes, and he dies in battle, then who will become the fifth Kazekage?

A series of figures flashed through his mind, but Luo Sha found that none of them were suitable.

"Has the village really gotten to this point?!"

Luo Sha felt heavy-hearted.

If Sasori doesn't defect...

Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Luo Sha collected his thoughts and said, "Come in!"

Chiyo pushed open the door and entered.

Luo Sha was startled: "Grandma, why are you back?"

Chiyo said, "We've left that place to Ebizo for now, so there shouldn't be any problems for the time being."

"The most crucial issue right now is Konoha's Ranga. Kazekage, how do you plan to deal with it?"

Luo Sha said, "Faced with such an enemy, any current approach is insufficient."

Chiyo paused for a moment, then suggested, "Should we withdraw the troops?"

"Conquer the River Country with all our might."

Rasa hesitated: "Even if we withdraw now, will Konoha allow us to take over the Land of Rivers?"

"Won't Konoha even let us replace the Kazekage?"

Chiyo knew that Rasa was worried about Yokura.

This was a decision made by the entire Sunagakure leadership, and she was among them.

Yekura is currently in Konoha, and for Sunagakure, this is indeed the most uncontrollable factor.

How to do?

Chiyo was in a state of inner turmoil.

This is one of the reasons why she wanted to return from the front lines.

Of course, if it can counter the Wind-Riding Mystic Horse, then this is not a problem.

but……

The Third Raikage lost an arm, fought to a draw with the Third Tsuchikage, and the Third Mizukage died. Such a record makes it hard to have confidence in one's abilities.

After a long silence, Luo Sha made a decision: "Grandma, get ready!"

"If I die in battle, someone must lead the village forward."

Chiyo was startled and quickly said, "Let me take on this!"

"At my age, I don't have many years left to live."

Luo Sha shook his head: "No, you're not enough!"

"I am the Wind Shadow, only I can bear this responsibility."

"If it really comes to that, you should assist Yekura!"

Chiyo's pupils dilated in shock: "What?"

Luo Sha calmly said, "There is no one more suitable than her in the village right now."

Chiyo quickly said, "However, this could put the village in a position of being led by Konoha."

Luo Sha nodded: "That is indeed very possible."

"However, after becoming the Kazekage, Yekura's will was no longer just her own."

“The bonds of the village can completely change her.”

"Besides, her entanglement with Konoha may not be that deep."

"Furthermore, isn't Yu Feng Xuan Ma only 11 years old?"

Even if he only lives to forty...

Rasa didn't finish his sentence, but Chiyo already understood what he meant.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, a ninja like Hashirama Senju will likely belong to his era for a very long time to come.

However, Hashirama Senju had Madara Uchiha as his opponent back then.

And who are there in the ninja world now?

Are we hoping that another Madara Uchiha will emerge from within Konoha?

For a moment, Chiyo and Rasa looked at each other in silence.

……

While bullets were still flying outside, inside Konoha Village, in a dessert shop, Genma was having a get-together with his classmates.

Of course, besides Kakashi, Genma Shiranui, and others, there are also younger people like Anko Mitarashi, who has already graduated, and Hayate Gekko, who are newcomers.

At this moment, everyone's attention was on Might Guy, because he was gesturing wildly as he recounted the great battle he had fought against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist a few days ago.

Ebisu and Aoba Yamashiro, the two men in sunglasses, occasionally added their comments.

Genma Shiranui sighed, thinking that Kai's language was simply too terrible and he couldn't explain himself at all.
