The third generation Hokage sent Danzo to jail at the beginning

No matter how sophisticated and mature his actions and tactics are, Jiraiya's underlying character is still somewhat naive.

Therefore, Jiraiya planned to agree to exchange prisoners. At the same time, in his heart, the value of Shizune and Eight-Tailed Killer Bee were not comparable.

"Then, let's exchange hostages. Raikage." Jiraiya said in a deep voice.

This plan was a failure for the Raikage, and he was extremely unhappy. He snorted coldly and was about to agree.

Being able to keep Kirabi now is the best outcome.

"Okay." The lightning on the Raikage's body extinguished, and he returned to normal, shouting loudly. "You Konoha, throw Killer Bee over here first!"

Although they were clearly at a disadvantage, the Raikage's attitude at this moment was as if he had the upper hand.

It's better to lose the battle than the person.

"You think you're bargaining in the market?" Tsunade vented her anger by smashing the boulder next to her with her fist. "If he keeps talking nonsense, I'll break his neck!"

Jiraiya was speechless at this: "You hand Shizune over to us first. Otherwise, you can do it! Let's continue the battle, Raikage!"

The situation was stronger than anyone, and even now the follow-up Kumogakure hadn't arrived. Something must have gone wrong. The Raikage was already considering retreat.

The Raikage snorted and helplessly gestured to Darui: "Give them back."

The two sides exchanged hostages.

Killer Bee was temporarily sealed by the Cloud Ninja Jonin, and sang to his elder brother helplessly: "Konoha Ninja ~ Outnumbered and outnumbered ~ Xiaoba was defeated ~"

Raikage Ai growled: "Kirabi, shut up."

When Shizune stumbled back to the Konoha camp holding the piglet Tuntun, she was still afraid and said to Tsunade: "Sama Tsunade, I'm sorry."

Tsunade looked at the bloodstains around her, her heart trembling. She clenched her fists and pretended to be calm as she tried to comfort Shizune: "It's okay, you've behaved very well."

Raikage Ai crossed his arms and said coldly, "If you Konoha don't want to continue fighting, we will leave."

Jiraiya stared at the Raikage and said, "The Kumo Ninja must compensate us Konoha in the future."

The Raikage Ai replied unhappily: "Humph, I will compensate you Konoha! I will send an envoy later."

The battle seemed to be finally over. The conflict was about to fade away.

However, at this moment, there was a scarlet Sharingan, staring at everything that happened here.

"Is the battle about to end? This won't do."

"Jue, do it."

Just as the Raikage was about to lead his men to evacuate——

A sudden change occurred!

"what!"

Suddenly, screams from the Konoha Anbu came from behind!

The Konoha Anbu in the rear were attacked by a large number of Cloud Ninjas that suddenly appeared!!!

These Cloud Ninjas mysteriously appeared from underground and treetops. These Cloud Ninjas were extremely cold-blooded and would chop anyone they saw without any nonsense.

Caught off guard, screaming in agony.

It seemed like they had been lurking here for a long time and finally found their opportunity at this moment.

The Cloud Ninja truly had no credibility.

"Damn Raikage!" Jiraiya's roar shook the battlefield, and his senjutsu chakra surged like flames.

The Raikage's pupils shrank in shock. Had the Cloud Ninja reinforcements finally arrived? But what was going on?

Although he recognized the faces of most of those Cloud Ninjas, he did not give any orders to continue fighting. Why would they suddenly take action?

"superior!"

Despite his doubts, the Raikage barked out his orders, his Lightning Armor activating like a reflex. He knew all too well that arguing was pointless; the battlefield only recognized bloodshed, not reason.

Everything can only be discussed after the fight is over.

The Raikage dodged Jiraiya's Rasengan and directly attacked the opponent's admiral Tsunade - during the previous negotiations, the Raikage keenly noticed the abnormality of the opponent's admiral.

Tsunade seemed to be a little slow to react at this moment, and had to defend herself in a very dangerous way.

Jiraiya was forced to return to Tsunade's aid. His white hair stood up like an angry hedgehog, turning into silver light that poured down on the Raikage.

A chaotic war began.

A large-scale battle began between Konoha and the Cloud Shinobi.

Jiraiya, who loves peace, can no longer hold back.

At the same time, the mysterious masked man in hiding smiled with a look of triumph.

……

The Hokage's office in Konoha.

The Third Hokage received the message from the Anbu that the war had begun.

Under the leadership of Jiraiya, Konoha defeated the Raikage, and the other side suffered heavy losses. Only one in ten of the invading Cloud Ninjas survived. After breaking through the encirclement in a panic, they fled towards the Land of Lightning.

Meanwhile, Tsunade is in an abnormal state or unable to continue fighting, her student Shizune was severely injured in the battle, and Uzumaki Naruto is still in the team.

Jiraiya ultimately did not participate in the pursuit of the remnants of the Raikage, but led the team back to the village.

Mike leads the Anbu team to continue chasing the remnants of the Raikage. At the same time, Kakashi and the Yamato team received the news that the Raikage's troops had been defeated, and they were setting up a dragnet at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning, waiting for the Raikage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his pipe, exhaled a puff of green smoke, and gave the order to the Anbu to "let all departments and ninja clans enter a state of war at any time."

Continue to look at the next piece of information.

Ninjas from the Hidden Rock Village appeared on the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire.

At the same time, on the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning, ninjas from the Hidden Rock Village were ready to make a move.

Not only that, there are also traces of active ninjas from the Hidden Rock Village on the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind.

It is obvious what Onoki wants to do. He will take advantage of wherever there is an advantage.

"Ohnoki, you old bastard! The Akatsuki organization is about to jump in your face, and you still don't believe my information! You really can't distinguish between good and evil, and you don't know the big picture. You will cry when all your tailed beasts are captured!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen cursed inwardly and ordered the Anbu to continue monitoring. At the same time, he stamped the application report for funding upgrade for the border Anbu in the document.

The next piece of information was that Sunagakure would officially send the three orphaned Kazekage siblings to Konoha to learn the Will of Fire. They would depart on a specific date. This meant sending a proton. Putting aside the Kazekage's status as their son, the mere sending of the One-Tail was a sign of sincerity.

It seems that even if Konoha and the Kumogakure officially clashed, the Sand Ninja, now at the end of their rope, still didn't dare to break the contract. Perhaps after seeing Ohnoki's actions on the border, the Sand Ninja elders still hoped for Konoha's protection.

So which powerful general should be sent to provide support? There is an 80% chance that Akatsuki will take action on the way.

Now four of Konoha's Five Tiger Generals and the Wood Release Yamato are all away on the expedition, and Orochimaru is temporarily unfit to lead the troops.

Alas, it would be great if the powerful general Hoshigaki Kisame could surrender to Konoha. However, Sarutobi Hiruzen had tried to talk to him several times, but he remained unmoved and seemed to be at the mercy of Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that it was so unreasonable that even that wise guy Obito could fool him. And yet, Hoshigaki Kisame didn't even listen to his positive energy of the Will of Fire and just kept shouting that he wanted to see Uchiha Itachi.

We can only wait until Konoha's gold medal jonin Uchiha Itachi returns from the set next door.

The other people in Konoha are now unable to lead the troops against the artist group, and as the Hokage, he has to stay in Konoha. Although Konoha is now politically stable and harmonious, once the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen goes out, the sequelae of the previous coercive policy may become apparent.

It would be fine if Laozhu, Ludie and others went together, but once Wolong Lujiu left, the Hokage Secretariat would be leaderless, and the administrative efficiency of the Hokage Office would inevitably be greatly reduced.

Is it still the Hyuga family?

The Byakugan is very compatible with the Scorpion Puppet - the Byakugan can directly see the puppet's chakra lines, but it is quite troublesome against long-range monsters like Deidara.

Then let Asuma and Red lead the team to cooperate with the Hyuga clan. With such a lineup, plus the combat power of the Sand Ninja themselves, we can rest assured for the time being.

Asuma, please show some courage this time. Otherwise, I can only rely on Konohamaru in the future...

The next document is a request for payment for the next step in the construction of Ninja Academy.

Stamp the document to confirm. Then open the next one.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting in the office giving orders, was like a commander in a strategy sandbox game, analyzing the intelligence information of Konoha and issuing orders.

It wasn't until nightfall that the Hokage's documents were processed.

After finishing his work, Fire Master Sarutobi Hiruzen entered the subspace to inquire about the situation in the pirate world.

Send a message to Ace: How is it, did Itachi succeed?

Ace replied with a 'haha' emoticon: "I'm about to be executed. It seems Itachi failed. I heard that Whitebeard is about to bring a large fleet to rescue me."

As for who told it, the source of information about Ace in prison can only be his uncle Garp.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but ask: Ace, what are you going to do after you get out of this situation?

The other party replied: Of course, we use cheats to practice hard, integrate our combat power, and the three brothers will attack Mary Geoise together.

Sarutobi Hiruzen replied: Awesome.

Chapter 33 From Tomorrow, You Are the Raikage

The Raikage seemed to be at the end of his rope at this moment.

There was a deep burn mark on his left shoulder that could be seen to the bone. His Lightning Release Raigai was broken by Konoha Jiraiya after a long battle.

The remaining Cloud Ninjas who followed them were all covered in wounds and blood. Not only did this raid fail to achieve its goal, but it also resulted in heavy casualties and was a complete defeat.

Darui had a broken right arm, which was only hastily fixed with a cloth strip during his escape. Blood was still oozing out. If he was not treated early, he might even be affected in his knife-holding ability in the future.

The only one who could be said to be in good condition was the rap Killer Bee with half-broken sunglasses. He was just hit by a straight punch from Konoha's thick eyebrows and his ribs were fractured. This kind of injury was nothing for a Jinchūriki, but he was not in the mood to rap anymore.

This matter is really a case of losing both the wife and the army.

There was no telling when the pursuers from Konoha would arrive from behind, and the air was filled with depression and anxiety.

The Raikage had a gloomy face, feeling that he had been tricked, but this was not the time to dwell on it.

Looking back, all the subordinates had lost their fighting spirit and looked really miserable.

He must boost morale, otherwise the road ahead will be difficult.

"Let's sing a few lines." The Raikage suddenly spoke, his voice as hoarse as the friction of gravel.

Kirabi froze, his eyes widening slightly behind his sunglasses. Darui looked up, clutching his broken right arm, blood seeping from the makeshift bandage.

"Brother, you..."

"I'll rap if I say so!" Raikage punched the rock wall beside him, and gravel fell down.

His eyes swept over every remaining soldier: "Are the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village going to flee back like stray dogs?"

Kirabi suddenly pulled off his broken sunglasses and spat. Then, he slapped his thighs to beat the rhythm, his hoarse voice exploding across the canyon:

"Yo~ The end of the road~ is not the end~"

"The soul of Yunyin will never die~Yeah!"

"What's the harm with a broken sword and broken armor, idiot!"

"Raikage-sama, clear the way~ bastard!"

"Go back to the Land of Thunder and fight again~ Yeah!"

Normally, no one in the Hidden Cloud Village has the taste to appreciate Killer Bee's rap, but at this moment, it actually lifted the depressed atmosphere of the Cloud Ninjas.

A temporary failure meant nothing. The Hidden Cloud Village would not fall because of a single failure. The Shadow of the Village was sharing the joys and sorrows with them. As long as he was still there, there was still hope.

Seeing that the morale of the remaining Cloud Ninjas was slightly boosted, the Raikage suddenly laughed loudly towards the sky, startling the birds in the forest and making them fly away.

Darui reluctantly asked, "Why are you laughing, Raikage-sama?"

The Raikage pointed to the sides of the mountain and said proudly: "I laugh at the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's lack of strategy, and the Sannin Jiraiya's lack of wisdom. If a brigade of Anbu is ambushed here, we will all be defeated!"

The road ahead was a dangerous one, a narrow canyon with cliffs on both sides. If he were in Konoha's place, he would have set an ambush ahead, leaving the Hokage in this desperate situation.

"Let's go back to the Land of Lightning, and after we've rested up, we'll have a fair fight with Konoha!"

The Raikage laughed heartily.

Even after being defeated, he still has such a broad mind. Raikage Ai is truly a hero of this world.

The Raikage's laughter still echoed in the canyon, and the morale of the remaining Cloud Ninjas had just been ignited.

He was the first to step into the Yixiantian Canyon and was about to lead his troops through the canyon to leave the territory of the Fire Nation.

However, the moment the last Cloud Ninja stepped into the canyon—
