The third generation Hokage sent Danzo to jail at the beginning

Could it be true that a dangerous figure like Uchiha Itachi died in a simple conflict with Konoha? Obito, do you believe it?

Is it that Konoha’s hidden strength is too strong, or is there something else going on?

No matter which one it was, the clever Obito felt uneasy. He immediately used his flexible brain to come up with a vicious plan. He sold the information about the Nine-Tails' identity to Kumogakure. How could Kumogakure resist taking action against Uzumaki Naruto?

The Jinchūriki has not grown up yet + the Jinchūriki is outside Konoha + the Jinchūriki is extremely talented and can also master the Flying Thunder God Technique.

After adding up several conditions and verifying the intelligence, Raikage Ai immediately decided to lead the raid himself. As long as it was successful, it would not matter if it started a war.

As long as the world is in chaos, it is more suitable for these conspirators to stir up trouble. At this moment, Obito is really a born bad guy.

"But what if the Nine-Tails really dies?" Black Zetsu thought of the only flaw in this vicious plan and couldn't help but ask Obito.

If the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki were to be killed by the Raikage... who knows how long it would take for it to be resurrected. Then what would happen to Pain's nuclear deterrence plan? What would happen to Obito's Moon Eye plan? What would happen to Black Zetsu's moon-splitting plan to save his mother?

Obito waved his hand and said confidently: "Humph, the Nine-Tailed Fox will not die so easily."

Black Zetsu understood Obito very well, and he immediately said: "You haven't...thought about what would happen if the Nine-Tails died."

Obito's face darkened, but he was wearing a mask, so Black Zetsu couldn't see.

He sneered coldly and said, "It doesn't matter. Everything is within my plan. I will also participate in the battle this time."

"What are you going to do?" It seems that Obito has another plan, Black Zetsu asked.

"Help whoever loses!"

As long as Konoha and Kumogakure fight, that's your goal. Yes, in a state of war, no matter what cards Konoha has, they can't hide them.

Black Zetsu looked at Obito deeply and said seriously: "Obito, you have really become wiser."

At the same time, Black Zetsu said in his heart: Even fools seem to grow up... I must be more careful and coax this fool more.

In fact, Obito really didn't think that much. His plan has always been like this. He would do whatever he thought of, and he would often have sudden inspirations, just like the Uchiha incident. Obito's underlying mentality for participating was that he had nothing to do anyway.

He truly deserves to be the officially certified Mr. Kenji.

At the same time.

The Akatsuki artist duo, Deidara and Sasori, are on their way to capture the One-Tail. If all goes well, they'll head straight for the Three-Tail's base.

The Akatsuki's undead duo, Angle and Hidan, are on their way to capture the Two-Tails. If all goes well, they'll head straight to the Nanabi Taki Village.

Meanwhile, Pain, the leader, and Konan arrived at the Four-Tails' retreat. Despite being a Kage-level powerhouse, he was still vulnerable to the Rinnegan. Later, the same thing happened to the Five- and Six-Tails.

The ninja world, which has been peaceful for many years, is about to usher in chaos.

……

The grove ran quickly.

This place was almost approaching Jiraiya's team. The team led by Kakashi ran into a full-strength Kumogakure senior ninja team head-on, and a fierce battle soon broke out.

With more men and the advantage of home court, the Konoha ninja naturally won.

The super-fast Raikiri pierced the chest of the last enemy. Now that the war had begun, there was no way to hold back. As for the intelligence, the Yamanaka family ninjas in the team would naturally read it from the enemy's brain.

'Thank you, Obito. ’

After the battle, Kakashi closed his Sharingan, pulled off his ninja forehead protector to cover his left eye, opened his ninja tool bag with some fatigue, took out a military ration pill and swallowed it.

Most of the bodies on the ground were from Kumogakure ninjas, but the Konoha Anbu also paid a certain price.

Konoha's Anbu were bandaging the wounds of their injured teammates and adjusting their conditions, while a few were collecting the bodies.

Despite outnumbering Konoha, they still suffered casualties. The Kumogakure ninjas who came this time were definitely the elite among the elite.

At the same time, the information was confirmed from the brain of the Kumogakure ninja that the Raikage had actually arrived.

An Anbu stepped forward and reported in a low voice: "Captain Kakashi, we lost several companions in this battle. The list is as follows..."

Kakashi nodded expressionlessly in response, and calmly gave the cold order for the troops to adjust their status and continue their march in a quarter of an hour.

At the same time, Kakashi silently memorized each name in his heart. He knew that after this mission was over, more new names would be added to Konoha's memorial stone.

In this brief skirmish alone, the list of casualties included someone who could be considered Kakashi's friend—Gekiko Hayate. The guy who was always coughing, Kakashi's classmate from his ninja school days.

"It seems that war is inevitable." Kakashi confirmed to his deputies Yamato and Gai.

Kai nodded solemnly without saying anything. Hearing Moonlight Gale's name, he clenched his fists, clearly trying to suppress his inner anger.

Yamato calmly asked, "Kakashi-senpai, what should we do next?"

Kakashi's gaze sharpened. He had completely switched from his daily routine to a war-like state. As a commander, he had to put aside his warmth and place the lives of those he knew on the tactical scale. His mindset shifted completely.

...Although he had been mentally prepared, it was not until casualties actually occurred that his memories of the war were completely awakened.

Now that the war is about to begin, we must achieve the best results.

"Divide the troops into two groups." Kakashi calmly gave the order, "Yamato and I will lead the team to clear out the Kumogakure ninjas in the rear and block the Raikage's retreat route. Kai, you will lead a separate ANBU to support Jiraiya's team.

"Finally, we will unite our forces and utterly destroy the Raikage in the Land of Fire."

Moonlight Gale's death cannot be in vain! The Hidden Cloud Village must pay the price.

Yamato and Kai looked at each other and nodded at the same time: "Okay."

Before leaving, Kai couldn't help but speak, and said with a little worry: "Kakashi, be careful."

After that, the three of them each led their teams to set off.

Chapter 28 Jiraiya's Team vs. Raikage

Jiraiya's team has already noticed that the Hidden Cloud Ninja is approaching.

The four of them sped forward. As a Sannin, Jiraiya wasn't afraid of a head-on confrontation, but he was armed with a powerful weapon and couldn't engage in a full-scale battle.

This would put them at a disadvantage if they really fought, and more importantly, Tsunade was not in good condition. Although Tsunade did not say this, as the second-in-command of intelligence, Jiraiya would definitely not be able to detect any abnormalities.

However, Jiraiya's battle was unavoidable.

There's a trap ahead. The Cloud Ninja has caught up with them.

"Naruto! Stop!" Jiraiya shouted, stopping the inexperienced Naruto who was walking in front from moving forward.

"What's wrong, lecherous sage?" Naruto stopped obediently and became alert.

Shizune put the piglet down tacitly, and her right hand quietly reached for the ninja tool bag behind her waist.

Tsunade crossed her arms and frowned, "You're right, it seems the Cloud Ninja has really gone crazy."

There was obvious displeasure in her tone, naturally not directed at Jiraiya, but at the crazy Cloud Ninja.

In front of him was a despicable trap made of explosive tags and chakra lines. If he stepped into it, it would trigger a chain reaction of explosions.

"As expected of the legendary Sannin, your perception is indeed sharp."

A dark-skinned man with dead fish eyes and a temperament somewhat similar to Kakashi appeared, carrying a big sword.

It was none other than the Raikage's deputy, the Storm Release Ninja Darui.

Darui scratched his head nonchalantly. "What a hassle... But since Raikage-sama has given the order..."

He slowly raised the sword in his hand: "Please hand over the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

At the same time, dozens of Kumogakure ninjas appeared from the surrounding treetops, holding various ninja tools and surrounding Jiraiya and his companions. Sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, reflecting a cold light on the sharp ninja tools.

Tsunade snorted coldly: "Just you guys?"

The number of people does not mean much to ordinary masters for the Three Ninjas. The reason why the Three Ninjas have a reputation far exceeding other Kage-level ninjas is that in addition to their own strength, each of them has signed a contract with the Holy Land.

Each of their summoned beasts has the ability to influence large battlefields.

"Of course not." Darui's lips curled up into a meaningful smile, "After all, the opponent is the legendary Sannin..."

Before he could finish his words, a deafening roar of thunder suddenly erupted in the distance, accompanied by the clatter of falling trees. A massive figure was approaching at an alarming speed!

"That's... the Raikage?!" Shizune exclaimed in shock.

Jiraiya's pupils suddenly contracted, and he thought to himself that this was not good. He might not be able to take good care of Naruto in this way.

It must be resolved quickly.

Almost at the same time, Darui led the Cloud Ninja Jonin to launch an attack!

"Tsunade! Buy me some time! Naruto, take care of yourself!" Jiraiya shouted and began to make seals with his hands.

"Idiot Jiraiya, I know."

"Teacher Jiraiya, don't worry! I'm very strong now!"

Almost at the same time, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Naruto began to form hand seals.

Hai, Xu, You, Shen, Wei x3

Spiritualism!

After a puff of smoke.

Jiraiya and Naruto stood proudly above the mountain-like Gamabuntai.

Naruto was already holding the Ruyi Jingu Bang at this time, and said to the stick: "Grandpa Monkey Demon, thank you for your help."

An eye popped out of the golden hoop stick: "It's been a long time since I've seen such a scene."

Tsunade stood on the head of an equally large slug, told Shizune to 'take care of yourself', then jumped down and quickly headed towards the direction where the Raikage was rushing.

"My feet hurt!"

The clash between the two reckless men who could tear apart Susanoo with their iron fists has begun! Following the loud noise of the iron fists colliding, there was a fist wind that almost formed a shock wave. The trees around them collapsed on a large scale, and the surface rocks were lifted up layer by layer.

Wentai sprayed water cannons and slug acid to prevent the Kumogakure jonin from approaching.

Darui dodged a ball of acid that melted on contact and, using his Lightning Release Black Spot Technique, blocked a water cannon launched by Wentai at several Kumogakure ninjas. He stared at the giant toads and slugs and couldn't help but sigh, "Is this the Sannin? Their summoned beasts alone are enough to sway the battlefield."

To most regular ninjas, the Snake Glam 'Three Fears' aren't much different from the Tailed Beasts.

Naruto was a little eager to join the battle above Gamabuntai. Jiraiya, while gathering chakra and continuing to cast hand seals, stopped Naruto: "Naruto, don't be so stubborn. They are targeting you this time. Just protect yourself. It's too early for you to join the battle."

The Monkey King's Golden Cudgel also spoke up: "Listen to Jiraiya, if the situation is not right, use the Diamond Prison Wall Technique."

Jiraiya smiled, his expression gradually becoming proud. "Naruto, next, I will show you the highest secret of the Toad Sage Jiraiya. This is why the old man said that I am the strongest among the three ninjas."

"The legendary Sage Mode!" Naruto widened his eyes and stared at Jiraiya.

Just as he finished speaking, two elderly toads appeared on Jiraiya's shoulders. Jiraiya said, "Boss and Big Sister, long time no see."

Jiraiya has now completely entered the Sage Mode, with a mask appearing on his face and his nose having turned into a toad nose.

Naruto's eyes widened as he watched Jiraiya's chakra intensity surge at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Naruto, I'm going to support Tsunade. Take care of Shizune."

Finally, he said that in Jiraiya's eyes, Naruto is obviously much stronger than Shizune.

Sage Jiraiya jumped down. He had to decide the winner quickly because Tsunade's condition could not be hidden from him.

……

"A mere Sannin, nothing more than that. Far inferior to Namikaze Minato!"

The Raikage laughed wildly and talked trash as dazzling lightning burst out from his body. His lightning armor made a sharp buzzing sound. His speed instantly broke through the sound barrier, and white air waves exploded in the air wherever he passed.

"Then if you have the guts, don't hide! Raikage bastard!"

Tsunade's golden hair flew, and she concentrated her incredible strength into her right fist. The ground beneath her feet collapsed, and with one punch, she created a crater several dozen meters long, like a meteorite falling. In the current ninja world, no one could withstand such a punch head-on.

But the Raikage was so fast that he turned into a lightning and dodged it. At the same time, he went around and tried to attack the back of his head, but was met with another painful kick.

The Raikage flashed in a flash of blue and moved to the side, aiming his knife straight at Tsunade's neck. However, Tsunade ducked as if anticipating the situation, and once again, she backhanded an elbow strike that slammed into the Raikage's ribs.

The Raikage is faster than Tsunade, but Tsunade is by no means a weakling who cannot react.

Now that Minato is dead, the Raikage can be said to be the fastest ninja in the ninja world. Tsunade, who is also a melee ninja, has a very bad compatibility with him - to deal with such a speedster, one must either be faster than him like Minato, or rely on a large-scale field attack to gain an advantage.

Simply put, all of Tsunade's effective attacks were dodged, and Tsunade had no ability to spread out on the field.

On the other hand, Tsunade is a poorly-matched opponent for the Raikage. His Raigai is no match for his powerful punches, and any hit will inevitably result in damage. Therefore, the Raikage cannot withstand attacks head-on, relying entirely on dodge speed. Furthermore, his own attacks can only drain the opponent's health bar faster than their recovery. To deal with a high-attack, high-health opponent like Tsunade, one must either deliver instant damage high enough to break the opponent's health bar, or rely on crowd control and stacking debuffs to consume the opponent.

It just so happens that both of the reckless men on both sides cannot do it at the same time.

But in fact, for Tsunade, it is a good thing that she cannot hurt the Raikage. If she hits the Raikage until he bleeds, her mental illness will be exposed! It doesn't matter if she bleeds herself, because she will recover quickly anyway.

"What a troublesome opponent," they both thought at the same time.

"We can only hope for reinforcements. Is Jiraiya still not well?"
