From Hokage to Visionary

The Raikage's eyes were as big as bells, and a cold murderous intent filled the entire room.

The muscles all over his body vibrated, fully activated by the stimulation of lightning. With just a simple step, his tendons and bones exploded like bowstrings, making crackling sounds.

"Have you really thought it through before you do anything?"

Uchiha Sogetsu put one hand on his face and said meaningfully: "Is it worth it to exchange my life for the safety of the entire village?"

In the eyes of the Raikage, his entire body was full of flaws.

Even though he had no intention of resisting at all, Uchiha Sogetsu still smiled confidently.

The reason for doing this is not because he is arrogant, but because he has calculated everything.

If it was the young and foolish Fourth Raikage, he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to use this trick. After all, who knows if the other person will just attack him head-on?

But if it was the Third Raikage, it would be completely different.

Although the Third Raikage looks big and rough and careless, he is actually a thoughtful person.

If the tailed beast appears directly in the village, it will bring a devastating disaster!

Even if they succeed in stopping the tailed beast in the end, it will cause huge casualties to the Hidden Cloud Village, and who knows how many civilians will die tragically.

Uchiha Munetsuki's move was in disguise, tying the entire village to his chariot.

For a moment, the Raikage was in a dilemma.

His intuition told him that he should just take action and kill the damn kid in front of him, otherwise there would be endless trouble!

But as the Raikage, he was rational and stopped this impulsive thought in time.

The Raikage found it unacceptable that thousands or even tens of thousands of civilian lives were lost for a mere ninja.

"Lord Raikage!"

"Someone broke in!"

"kill him!"

Outside the door were the elite troops of the Cloud Ninja, who were about to rush in and kill this arrogant guy.

"Your people are here, Lord Raikage."

Uchiha Sogetsu shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "Then, make your choice, Lord Raikage."

The Raikage waved his hand, his gloomy eyes like a knife, and after slashing fiercely several times, he shouted at the outside of the door: "Everyone, don't move!"

The Cloud Ninjas who came to support were confused.

Although they didn't know why the Raikage gave this order, they still chose to execute it.

So, a group of Jonin from the Hidden Cloud Village stood at the door, staring at the Konoha Anbu who was sitting in the Raikage's seat with a fierce look of hatred.

"Kid, your target is Minato Namikaze, right?"

The Raikage frowned, his eyes becoming more terrifying, and he said straight to the point: "No need to talk nonsense, let's get straight to the point."

"Oh?"

Uchiha Sogetsu showed an interested look and listened attentively: "Please speak."

"Since you gave me two choices, I will give you two choices too."

The Raikage sat beside him with his chin on one hand, staring at him indifferently: "Either I release Namikaze Minato and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and you stay; or you release the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and then I will kill you, Namikaze Minato, and the Jinchuriki."

"Yes, that's fair."

Uchiha Munetsuki nodded and said with a smile: "Some people say that life is a series of multiple-choice questions. What do you think?"

The Raikage raised his eyelids slightly, and the murderous intent in his eyes rolled like a substance: "It's obvious that you drew the joker card."

There will be another chapter later

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 140: Lord Raikage, have you ever been defeated?

Under the strong command of the Raikage, even if the Cloud Ninjas were unwilling, they had no choice but to carry out the order.

Soon, Minato Namikaze, wearing heavy shackles, was pushed in roughly.

His previous sunny appearance has now become a little disheveled, with wounds all over his body. It can be basically guessed that he has not had a good life in the past two days.

However, since there is no danger to life, this is already the best outcome.

Seeing the gaze from Minato Namikaze, Uchiha Sogetsu nodded slightly, as a greeting to him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to turn out like this." Namikaze Minato's face showed a look of deep guilt and dejection, without any of his previous high spirits, as if his yellow hair had dimmed a little: "I'm really sorry that it ended up like this and I have to trouble you to save me."

The Raikage rested his elbows on his knees and rested his chin on his palm, his eyes darting back and forth between the two of them.

Although there were only two short sentences, they were enough for him to analyze some useful information from them.

"Excuse me, your time for reminiscing is over." His low and hoarse voice interrupted the two of them directly. He slowly put down his palms and changed to a sitting position. His spine was straight, like a sword about to be unsheathed. He exuded a domineering aura and locked his eyes with Uchiha Munezuki: "I have brought the person you wanted. It's your turn next."

"Tell me the truth, how are you going to get me out?"

Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly, looked at the surrounding Cloud Ninjas and the Third Raikage, and said to him, "Don't count on me. They have sealed my chakra meridians. I can't use Flying Thunder God to take you out of here directly."

"Don't worry, I don't plan to count on you."

Uchiha Munetsuki supported himself on the chair and slowly stood up. He looked at the Raikage and said, "When he leaves the Kumogakure, our deal will be complete. How about that?"

"can."

The Raikage paused, half-closed his eyes, revealing a dangerous light: "But you are not allowed to follow, you can only stay here."

Until now, he still hasn't figured out what the young man in front of him is planning, and how he plans to escape from under his nose.

But as long as he doesn't let the other party leave the room, he is absolutely sure that he can keep this guy.

"Of course, this is one of the conditions we agreed upon."

Uchiha Sogetsu spread his hands to show his agreement, and then said to Namikaze Minato: "Did you hear that? You have to go out by yourself. When you go out, remember to send me a signal."

"Wait, what about you? What are you going to do?" Minato Namikaze frowned and looked at him worriedly.

"I have my own way, so you don't have to worry about it."

Uchiha Sogetsu gave him a reassuring look, then slowly walked over and intended to pat his shoulder.

But in an instant, the Third Raikage suddenly appeared and grabbed his wrist, his cold eyes boiling with murderous intent: "Boy, you are ten years too early to play such a trick in front of me!"

"Ah, are you so nervous?"

Uchiha Sogetsu was pinched on the wrist, but he was not panicked at all. Instead, he smiled jokingly and said, "Don't worry, I don't have any other plans. It's just a farewell."

But obviously, the Raikage didn't believe this answer. He just smiled meaningfully and said, "The prerequisite for the Flying Thunder God Technique is to leave a space spell on the opponent's body. I won't take the risk and let you have the opportunity to contact Minato Namikaze."

Namikaze Minato's face suddenly froze, as if his thoughts had been exposed.

He really wanted to leave a Flying Thunder God space spell the moment he came into contact with Uchiha Sogetsu, and then use Flying Thunder God to pick up Uchiha Sogetsu after escaping from the Cloud Village.

But unfortunately, the seemingly rough Third Raikage was actually so delicate and thoughtful that he saw through his little thoughts at a glance.

"Now that we've been discovered, there's nothing we can do."

Uchiha Sogetsu shrugged, looking helpless, and sat back in his chair: "Minato, it seems that I can only let you go first."

"No, I can't leave you here!"

But Namikaze Minato's character made him unable to accept it, and he shook his head firmly and said: "If you need to sacrifice your life to save me, I will never agree!"

"Stop wasting time, Minato."

Uchiha Munetsuki shook his head and looked into his eyes: "Kushina is in the Hidden Cloud Village now to save you. You should know what this means, right?"

"What did you say? Kushina. Why is she here?!"

Minato Namikaze was extremely shocked, his eyes wide open and his expression almost lost control.

"Let her tell you the specific details." Uchiha Sogetsu was too lazy to explain, so he picked out the important things and said, "Your mission is to take Kushina away from the Hidden Cloud Village as soon as possible and escort her back safely. As for the rest, that is not something you need to consider."

Minato Namikaze knew the importance of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but because of this, he was once again in a dilemma: "But. What will you do?"

With his intelligence, when he learned that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was in the Hidden Cloud Village, he almost guessed the whole plan.

Uchiha Sogetsu used the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and himself, one as bait and the other as a bomb, and used the entire Hidden Cloud Village as a trump card, thus forcing the Raikage to release him.

But once he and Kushina left, the fragile balance of threat would be broken in an instant.

At that time, Uchiha Sogetsu will have to face the Third Raikage and all the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village alone!

"That's not important, Minato."

Uchiha Munetsuki looked at him affectionately, with a hint of determination in his tone: "When playing chess, once the "jade" is eaten, it's all over."

"you"

Minato Namikaze was slightly startled, his eyes a little moist.

"And I am just a pawn to be sacrificed."

Uchiha Munetsuki continued to speak, his voice subtly infiltrating and eroding his soul: "Protecting Jade is what I should do. I hope you are alive, and I hope you can fulfill your wish. Only in this way can the village and our clan have real hope."

Minato Namikaze understood his metaphor, and the softest part of his heart seemed to be touched.

It turns out that what Sogetsu has always longed for was reconciliation between the village and the Uchiha, and he is willing to give his life for this!

"Go ahead, Minato."

Uchiha Munetsuki urged again, his eyes soft and he said: "Don't forget your mission, protect the village and Kushina!"

"I I know!"

Namikaze Minato gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot: "I won't forget it. I definitely won't forget it!"

After saying that, he turned and walked outside. The Cloud Ninja was about to stop him, but was stopped by a look from the Raikage.

"I'll let Bi and Ai follow him."

The Raikage said calmly: "If I find out that you didn't keep your promise, I will kill him."

"Yes, it's your freedom."

Uchiha Munetsuki sat calmly in the Raikage's seat, one hand supporting his cheek, and chuckled, "While there is still some time left, Mr. Raikage, I would like to ask you a question."

"Okay, tell me."

The Raikage sat steadily, expressionless, and said: "Consider it a reward for you for daring to face me."

At this moment, Uchiha Sogetsu suddenly raised his hand and took off his mask.

He revealed a young, energetic, rebellious and handsome face. He pushed the frame on his nose. The figure of the Raikage was reflected in his blood-red eyes. He smiled:

"Mr. Raikage, have you ever been defeated?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 141 The Strongest Lightning Escape VS The Strongest Wind Escape

The Raikage was reminded of the shameful memory deep in his heart that he least wanted to recall.

But as proud as he was, he disdained to cover up with lies, so he just nodded calmly and said, "I have experienced hundreds of battles in my life, but the only one, the battle with the Eight-Tails, can be called a 'failure'."

"As expected of Lord Raikage, you are indeed amazing."

Uchiha Munetsuki smiled and said, "I've heard that you have suppressed the runaway Eight-Tails many times. From this point of view, it can't be considered a failure."

"Are you finished with your questions?"

The Raikage had already become impatient and slowly stood up, leaning on his knees with his hands.

At this moment, outside the Hidden Cloud Village, a firework suddenly shot up into the sky.

Snapped!

Brilliant fireworks exploded in the blue sky.

In an instant, as if some kind of signal was sounded, a violent gale like a turbulent stream swept through the entire office.

Accompanied by the roar of thunder and lightning, the surrounding air currents were surging and crisscrossing, and chakra burned and gushed out like flames, turning into solid armor draped over the body. In just a short moment, the momentum of the Raikage rose to the extreme, roaring like a mountain storm.

Even Uchiha Sogetsu couldn't help but add a bit of solemnity to his calm expression.
