Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

Kinkaku's gaze swept over the enraged Cloud Ninja. "Ginkaku and I will personally go to the battlefield to avenge Lord Raikage. Who is willing to come with me?"

"We're willing to go with you!"

Countless Cloud Ninja stepped forward, willing to join the battle.

Even those who disliked the two brothers were no exception...

"All troops, listen to my command! Launch a general offensive against Konoha!"

In a single day, Konoha killed the Raikage and his personal guards!

This revenge must be taken!

Countless Cloud Village ninjas left their camp and rushed towards the Leaf Village's camp.

At the very front of the group, the two brothers beamed with joy; the plan was going smoothly!

........................

Konoha Camp.

Commander Nara looked at the intelligence report sent back by the reconnaissance squad and read it three more times in disbelief.

"The First Raikage was killed by Konoha ninja, and the Cloud Ninja have launched a full-scale attack?!"

Did the Konoha ninja kill the First Raikage?

What a joke!

Commander Nara had been on the battlefield for so long, and this was the first time he had heard of something so outrageous.

The First Raikage had never been seen on the Northeast battlefield, let alone killed.

Even the Hokage would find it difficult to take someone's head amidst a vast army.

Not to mention the Konoha ninjas on the battlefield.

If they truly possessed such strength, the war wouldn't have lasted so long.

With the Cloud Ninja launching a full-scale attack, he no longer dwelled on the matter and immediately mobilized ninjas to the front lines to resist the Cloud Ninja's offensive.

Upon hearing the news, the ninjas in the camp quickly prepared to head to the battlefield.

Lian Ye and the other wounded do not need to participate in the battle for the time being.

As the war began, the men lost their sleepiness and left their tents one after another.

They encountered Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group as soon as they left the camp.

So everyone sat around the campfire, speculating about the Cloud Ninja's purpose.

"The Cloud Ninja just retreated during the day, so why are they launching another attack at night?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, puzzled.

Xiaochun, who was switching dorm rooms, shook her head. "I don't know..."

Shimura Danzo scoffed, "I think the Cloud Ninja are forgetful of their lessons! To deal with these guys, we need to completely subdue them!"

“Danzo is right. Only by hurting them will the war end,” Uchiha Kagami agreed.

All eyes turned to Lian Ye, eager to hear his thoughts.

"Renya-kun, what do you think?" Koharu Utatane asked.

"I'm wondering, what's their reason for attacking?" Lian Ye said softly.

Upon hearing this, the group fell into thought.

Logically speaking, Kumogakure had just suffered a defeat and needed to recuperate, so it shouldn't have launched a war in the short term.

Something must have happened that no one knows about...

The voice coming from not far away answered their questions.

"Because the First Raikage is dead."

Commander Nara rubbed his temples, looking rather troubled, and walked towards Renya and the others.

"The First Raikage is dead?!"

P.S.: Waaaaah... I have something to do today and can only update two chapters. Please forgive me, this is the last time, everyone!

Chapter 156 This kind of thing must not be allowed to happen!

"The First Raikage is dead?!" Everyone looked at Commander Nara with surprise.

None of them had ever imagined that the reason the Cloud Ninja launched their attack would be this.

Lian Ye raised an eyebrow slightly; that made sense now.

Wait a minute, he suddenly realized something...

What is the connection between the death of the First Raikage and the Cloud Ninja's attack?

Could it be that Konoha killed the First Raikage?!

It's possible that the Cloud Ninja would retaliate after the Raikage's personal guards were killed.

After all, Renya had never seen the First Raikage on the battlefield...

Moreover, as a Shadow, one needs to command the war from the rear and will not directly participate in the battle.

This makes them even harder to kill.

Unless Tobirama Senju personally comes to the battlefield, it might be possible to kill the Raikage.

But that old guy is still in the Hokage's office handling official business.

Hiruzen Sarutobi also noticed the problem and looked bewildered.

Upon seeing this, Commander Nara gave a bitter smile.

When he first heard the news, didn't he have the same expression?

Seeing the bewildered group, he explained, "The intelligence from the reconnaissance team says that the First Raikage was ambushed and killed by Konoha ninjas, and the enraged Cloud Ninjas have launched an attack on Konoha."

Hearing this, the already bewildered group became even more confused.

"Commander, are you saying that our Konoha ninja killed the First Raikage?!" Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed in surprise.

"When did Konoha produce someone this strong?" Shimura Danzo frowned in thought.

How many merits can you gain by killing the First Raikage on the battlefield?

It goes without saying that killing the Raikage was a very significant achievement.

He could become a strong successor to the Hokage.

Another competitor!

"Damn it!" Danzo cursed inwardly, his hands unconsciously clenching.

Lianye frowned as she considered the possibility of this matter.

In his memory, no one on the battlefield could kill the Raikage silently.

There's definitely something fishy about this...

The First Raikage was assassinated by Konoha ninjas, and the future Second Raikage was killed by himself.

"Who is the commander of Nara and the commander of the Cloud Ninja?" Renya suddenly asked.

He always felt that the death of the First Raikage was inextricably linked to the battlefield commander!

When the culprit is unknown, then we need to see who benefited from the incident.

Those who reap huge profits are most likely the masterminds behind it all!

Commander Nara's eyes lit up, and he quickly understood the meaning behind Renya's words.

"The veteran elite Jonin of Kumogakure, the brothers Kinkaku and Ginkaku."

"Shortly after the First Raikage left the camp, the two launched a coup, killed the battlefield commander, and seized the position of commander."

"Shortly afterward, news came that the First Raikage had died..."

Commander Nara became increasingly alarmed as he spoke, realizing that the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers were highly suspicious!

They first secretly murdered the First Raikage, then launched a coup, and finally exposed the Raikage's body to frame the Konoha ninjas...

"This is the truth!" The group suddenly realized.

Danzo Shimura immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and his clenched fist quietly loosened.

So it was all a setup by the Golden Horn and Silver Horn...

I was startled; I really thought a Konoha ninja had killed the First Raikage.

Lian Ye's face instantly turned ugly upon hearing the names of Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao.

The two brothers were the culprits who killed Tobirama Senju!

While Tobirama Senju was signing the peace treaty, they launched a sneak attack and killed the Second Raikage, ultimately perishing together with Tobirama Senju...

If it weren't for the Gold and Silver Brothers incident, Tobirama Senju wouldn't have died.

Lian Ye clenched his fists instinctively; he absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen!

He killed the future Second Raikage, which means that the future can be artificially altered.

The fact that Hashirama Senju is still alive is a good example.

If Hashirama can live, then Tobirama can live too!

Lian Ye is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person, much less an ingrate.

He and Tobirama Senju had spent so much time together that they had developed feelings for each other.

Naturally, they didn't want this old bastard to be killed by Golden Horn and Silver Horn...

He planned to nip the threat in the bud and see if he could find an opportunity to kill the two men on the battlefield!

If Gold Horn and Silver Horn die, the subsequent events will not occur.

However, these two possess the Six Paths Ninja Tools and the Nine-Tails' chakra, making them difficult to deal with. A slight mishap could lead to a disastrous outcome.

I don't want to die in front of Tobirama Senju first and be resurrected by that old bastard using Edo Tensei. That would be a real mess.

Lian Ye frowned, pondering how to deal with Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao.

A banana leaf fan, a gold-plated rope, a purple-gold gourd, a seven-star sword, and an amber vase.

These Six Paths Ninja Tools are not easy to deal with...

Commander Nara looked at Renya, who was deep in thought, and wondered what he was thinking, but he did not disturb him.

After talking with Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others for a while, he returned to the commander's tent.

He needed to inform the Hokage of the news of the First Raikage's death, as well as his own speculations.

So that the Hokage can prepare for the Cloud Village's furious revenge.

After all, the First Raikage was killed by a Konoha ninja, and the Hidden Cloud Village will never let this go!

At this point, the truth is no longer important.

The only thing we can do now is to defeat the Hidden Cloud Village and completely subdue them.

Commander Nara began writing down intelligence, including the story of Renya and his companions killing the Raikage's strongest bodyguard, and also used this opportunity to praise Tobirama Senju's effective teachings.

The first few hundred words were intelligence from the battlefield, followed by a lengthy praise of the former Senju Tobirama and his disciples.

The Hokage is so wise and powerful... and his disciples value their comrades so much...

This is an old tradition of the Nara clan.

........................

Hokage's office.

Tobirama Senju took out the intelligence reports sent back from the northeastern battlefield and began to read them carefully.

Sunagakure has already been suppressed by Konoha and is no longer a threat.

With the battle raging between Iwagakure and Kirigakure, they had no time to attend to Konoha.

The main enemy right now is the Hidden Cloud Village!
