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

If we really let Tobirama Senju come to the Land of Lightning alive, and make him condescend to negotiate with the Hokage.

Where is the prestige of his name then?

How will I ever be able to get along in the Daimyo circle again?

No, we absolutely cannot let this happen!

If Tobirama Senju had encountered an accident on his way there, the subsequent events would not have occurred.

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning sat on his high seat, impatiently tapping his fingers on the armrest, his gaze fixed on the Second Raikage.

"So, the assassination attempt failed?"

The Second Raikage remained silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "...Yes, Daimyo."

"Useless!" The nameless man slammed his hand on the table, knocking over the teacup and spilling tea onto the expensive silk carpet.

His eyes flashed with anger and contempt. "I gave you a chance, but you couldn't even kill Tobirama Senju?"

The Second Raikage clenched his fist slightly, his knuckles turning white, but he remained restrained and said in a low voice:

"Tobirama Senju is no ordinary ninja; he is the Hokage of Konoha. It would be very difficult to assassinate him successfully..."

"Heh." The Daimyo sneered, slowly sitting back in his seat, his fingers lightly stroking his chin. "It seems the ninjas of Kumogakure are nothing special."

The Second Raikage's pupils suddenly contracted, and anger surged within him, but he could only forcibly suppress his rage and did not refute.

That damn bastard, it's easy for him to talk when he's not the one suffering.

If Tobirama Senju were so easy to kill, then Kumogakure would not have been defeated.

Da Ming narrowed his eyes, his tone icy:

"Since you can't even handle this small matter, there's no need for me to continue wasting money on you."

Starting next month, military spending will be cut by 30%.

"What?!" Lei Ying looked up abruptly, a flash of shock and anger in his eyes.

Military spending cuts mean that the village's strength will be greatly weakened, and may even affect the training of ninjas and the supply of equipment!

He clenched his fists in anger, and lightning crackled around him. His violent chakra caused the candlelight in the hall to flicker.

Upon seeing this, the guards surrounding the daimyo immediately became alert.

The Raikage stared sharply at the daimyo in the main seat and said in a deep voice, "Please... retract your order!"

If the daimyo insists on going his own way, then he will have no choice but to eliminate him personally.

Although this has a significant impact, it is the only option left for the development of the village.

After all, killing a daimyo is easier than killing Tobirama Senju...

Daming's pupils contracted, and his arrogant expression instantly froze.

He leaned back instinctively, his fingers gripping the armrests tightly, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

"What... what kind of attitude is this?!" He tried to maintain his authority, but his voice was already trembling slightly.

The Raikage did not answer, but simply took a step forward.

"boom--!"

A violent burst of Lightning Release chakra erupted, cracking the floor beneath his feet. His gaze was fixed on the Daimyo, like a ferocious beast about to pounce.

"I said—" Raikage said, enunciating each word clearly, "Take back your orders."

Daming's face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

What's wrong with this newly appointed Raikage?! How dare he threaten me?!

He has been a high-ranking official for so many years, and everyone treats him with utmost respect. This is the first time such a situation has occurred.

This guy is insane! He's absolutely insane!

The guards inside the palace drew their weapons, but none of them dared to step forward.

"...Fine." The Daimyo finally managed to squeeze out a single word through gritted teeth, barely maintaining his last shred of dignity, "Since the Raikage insists on this...then let's put the matter of military expenses aside for now."

The lightning around the Raikage slowly subsided, but he still stared at the Daimyo with icy eyes.

"However—" the daimyo added with difficulty, "You must resolve the matter of Tobirama Senju!"

Lei Ying remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded slightly.

"I'll handle it."

With that, he turned and strode away.

Daming slumped in the chair, his hands trembling slightly.

This was the first time in all these years that he had been this nervous...

If I had been slightly careless, I would have been torn to shreds.

Without a doubt, that brute is absolutely capable of doing it!

The Daimyo stared at the Raikage's departing figure, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

"A mere ninja... dares to threaten me..."

But he only dared to say these words in his heart, fearing that Lei Ying would hear them.

…………

Dark clouds loomed over the border of the Land of Lightning.

The Second Raikage stood on the cliff, with six elite Jonin from Kumogakure kneeling behind him.

"Has the intelligence been confirmed?" Raikage asked.

"Yes." One of the Jonin raised his head and reported, "The Konoha delegation has entered the canyon area and is expected to arrive in an hour."

Raikage slowly clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking.

"Prepare for action."

"Roger that!"

…………

Deep within the canyon, Tobirama Senju led his troops forward.

Lianye walked at the front, her three-tomoe Sharingan scanning the towering rock walls on both sides.

This place is really a good ambush spot. As long as people are positioned on both sides, it will be almost impossible for the people inside to escape.

His fingers remained firmly on the hilt of the katana "Muko," his muscles taut.

His intuition told him that the area was very unsafe.

"Prepare to meet the enemy." Tobirama Senju suddenly spoke, his gaze fixed straight ahead.

He sensed several powerful chakra streams rapidly approaching this location.

Each one possesses chakra at the elite Jonin level...

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately summoned the Enma, Danzo Shimura took out the Seven Star Sword and the Golden Rope, and Koharu Utatane held the Red Gourd in her arms.

Uchiha Kagami and Mitokado Homura flanked the teacher, one on each side.

"They're here!" As Lian Ye's voice fell, seven figures suddenly appeared in front of her.

The Second Raikage stood at the forefront, his eyes blazing with killing intent.

"Tobirama Senju, I'll take your life!"

"All personnel, prepare for battle!" Tobirama Senju shouted coldly, his hands instantly forming hand seals: "Water Release: Water Wall!"

A massive wall of water rose from the ground, blocking the countless kunai shot by the Cloud Village ninja.

Lianye noticed that all six of them were elite Jonin-level ninjas, and her eyes turned cold.

"The Hidden Cloud Village has finally sent a normal opponent."

Those previous Chunin were hardly assassinations...

"That's the Breaking Bad guy from the intelligence reports, everyone be careful!" An elite Jonin pointed at Ren Ye and shouted a warning.

Without any hesitation, Lian Ye instantly rushed towards the Cloud Village elite Jonin who had spoken.

"Now that you've recognized me, you can't be allowed to live!"

This kind of troublesome guy should just die sooner rather than later.

With Lian Ye making the first move, the battle was about to begin!

Everyone has their own opponents, and they have clearly made ample preparations before they came.

The Second Raikage charged towards Tobirama Senju first, his body crackling with electricity as he leaped high into the air to unleash a ninjutsu.

In an instant, a violent bolt of lightning descended from the sky, illuminating the dark canyon.

"Lightning Release: Thunderstorm Descent!"

……

……

P.S.: I typed 6,000 words on my phone today! Are you guys sure you don't want to give me some support? *sobs*

Chapter 194 What are you thinking?

Inside the canyon, the wind howled, and lightning and flames intertwined.

Lianye and the elite Jonin of Kumogakure clashed rapidly between the rock walls, their blades flashing and sparks flying.

Both of them were incredibly fast, and each clash was accompanied by the clang of metal on metal.

"Qiang——!"

The katana "Mugou" collided fiercely with the opponent's ninja sword. Using the force, Renya flipped backward and landed steadily on a protruding rock.

His breathing became slightly rapid, and his Sharingan locked onto his opponent.

This elite Jonin from Kumogakure is no ordinary person; he possesses decades of combat experience and his speed is almost comparable to Renya's Body Flicker Technique.

What's even more troublesome is that his swordsmanship is ruthless and precise, and he almost broke through Lian Ye's defenses several times.

"Uchiha brat, is that all you've got?" The Cloud Village Jonin grinned maliciously, lightning crackling on his sword. "Killed Kinkaku and Ginkaku? Looks like you were just lucky!"

In his view, the reason why Lian Ye was able to kill Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao was simply because the two of them did not know that Lian Ye's knife was poisoned, and they were careless and accidentally poisoned.

Having received the intelligence, he would never make such a basic mistake.

As a veteran elite Jonin of Kumogakure, he considered himself no weaker than the Gold and Silver Brothers, only slightly inferior to them due to the lack of the Six Paths Tools.

Killing Lianye would prove his strength.

Lianye did not respond.

His gaze swept across the battlefield—Tobirama Senju was engaged in a fierce battle with the burly leader, while Hiruzen and the others were also struggling in their own fights.

We must eliminate this opponent as soon as possible to support our teammates.

Especially Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, they were clearly struggling against the attacks of the elite Jonin of Kumogakure and could only hold on with difficulty.

If this drags on any longer, the two of them could be in danger.

The Cloud Village Jonin noticed that Renya was distracted during the battle, his eyes darting around, and he saw this as a good opportunity to kill him!

"Shh!"

He suddenly launched an attack, his ninja sword drawing a sharp arc as it aimed straight for Lian Ye's throat.

"clang!"

Lian Ye quickly parried with her sword, and the deafening sound of metal clashing echoed between the mountain walls.

The two exerted their strength simultaneously, blade against blade, their eyes locked, their killing intent boiling.

"Your swordsmanship is indeed superb." Lian Ye's voice was calm, and his three-tomoe Sharingan twitched slightly. "But this level of skill is not enough to kill me."

"Kid, don't be so arrogant." The Cloud Ninja sneered, suddenly unleashing his chakra, and lightning crackled along the blade!
