Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

But there is a big difference.

The previous statement was just an attitude.

And the following words.

This is enough to prove Mei Terumi's strategic vision and judgment, which are the qualities that a qualified and even outstanding leader needs to possess.

The Yuan Master was slightly stunned.

The pair of cloudy pupils then revealed a very obvious look of admiration.

I didn't see the wrong person.

Mei Terumi is indeed the one who is capable of shouldering the responsibility and future of the Hidden Mist Village.

"Yes, Mei Terumi is right. Our Kirigakure should and must actively participate in this joint operation. It is no longer just a matter of Vulpix, but involves the future status of our Kirigakure in the ninja world. We cannot and do not have room for retreat."

Without waiting for Qing to continue speaking.

The Master said this with finality.

I was shocked to hear that my Master Yuan suddenly made such a decisive decision.

Qing was startled at first, as if he was not used to it, because his own Master Yuan had always been the type who would plan before taking action. Over the past few decades, he had never made a suggestion or a decision so quickly. He always had to weigh things multiple times, and the decisions he finally made were always the ones that seemed very safe.

But today is very different.

Qing naturally finds it difficult to understand.

He didn't know what had caused such a big change in his own Master Yuan.

However, Qing didn't know.

The Master has never changed, his decisions have always been very clean, neat and decisive. The reason why he seemed to have thought over and over again in the past was simply because most of the time, he was just a suggester and the Mizukage was still present in the village.

The master is just like Chiyo and Ebizo of the Sand Village. He is an old senior who knows how to "stick to his duties" and will not easily interfere in the affairs of the high-level officials of the ninja village. These old people do not want to cause misunderstandings, let alone trigger internal conflicts in the village.

It is because they are too aware of their status and prestige in the village.

Therefore, in the past few decades, as long as the village had a Mizukage in power, the Mizukage would not take the initiative to send someone to inquire.

The Yuan Master always remained silent.

The two or three times he took the initiative to attack were when the Second Mizukage died in battle, the Third Mizukage passed away, and the Fourth Mizukage was revealed to be under an illusion and controlled by others. He only took action for the benefit of the ninja village and for the survival of the village.

This is in stark contrast to Konoha's F4.

This time the incident is no different.

There is no Mizukage leading the village, and it is a critical moment to decide the survival of the ninja village. Naturally, the master will not have any hesitation.

Thanks to the high prestige of Master Yuan.

Although Qing didn't quite understand, he had developed a good habit over the years and followed Terumi Mei. At the same time, they both bowed and said, "Yes, Master Yuanshi!"

"Well, this time, Mei Terumi will lead the team, and you will follow along, Ao. This operation is extremely important to our Kirigakure. In addition to the troops on the front line, the village will dispatch more than 1,500 people, a total of more than 3,000 people to follow you, and Aoi will be responsible for your logistics. Although it is a joint operation request issued by Konoha, it is best for us to be responsible for the logistics ourselves. Remember, our ultimate goal is of course to recover the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, but this is not the only, let alone the primary goal. Mei Terumi, you should understand what I am talking about, right?"

Master Yuan nodded slowly, and a pair of eyes that seemed very cloudy flashed with an extremely sharp cold light at this moment. The hunched body seemed to straighten up at this moment, and he spoke with a slightly grim tone.

"Yes, Master Yuanshi, please rest assured. I know exactly what to do. I will not let down the reputation of our Hidden Mist Village! I will not let other ninja villages take advantage of the situation."

Terumi Mei nodded heavily.

There was a look of determination in those beautiful eyes.

This is a clear meaning that can be understood.

Master Yuan also nodded with satisfaction.

Only Qing on one side still seemed to have only a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

He wanted to ask something, but swallowed it back in the end. Anyway, as long as Mei Terumi could understand it, it would be fine. Although Qing was undoubtedly the senior of Mei Terumi in terms of age and qualifications, Qing was also the kind of person who was dedicated to the public. Just like the Master valued Mei Terumi very much, at this stage, Qing also felt that Mei Terumi was the best in the Hidden Mist Village in terms of strength, character, means and overall view.

No matter whether it is leading the team this time or the position of Mizukage in the future.

Qing is willing to recognize Mei Terumi.

"Very good, then you guys go down and prepare. If nothing unexpected happens, Konoha and Kumogakure should also take action in the next few days. Especially the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure, he is not a good-tempered person."

The Master nodded slowly, and with his slightly raised gaze, he seemed to be able to see through the long border line to the Hidden Leaf Village in the Land of Fire and the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning, and spoke softly.

"Yes!!!"

The Hidden Mist Village officially takes action.

Different from the previous wait-and-see situation, this time they are determined to get involved. Of course, it is still unclear who the blade is directed at.

The only thing that is certain is that whether it is Yuanshi or Mei Terumi, they will never allow the core interests of their own ninja village to be interfered with by ninja villages in other countries.

As long as this can be ensured.

As for the rest, Yuanshi and Mei Terumi would not care. Even if Konoha weakened and Kumogakure rose, at most they would just have a new overlord in the ninja world. At this stage, the Hidden Mist Village did not want to and did not have the ability to participate in these things!

They just want to protect the one and a half acres of land in their own ninja village!

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

The Mist Ninjas gathered together after receiving the conscription order.

Each of them is the elite of the ninja village, the Mist Ninja who were able to survive the even more brutal and bloody Blood Mist Civil War several years ago. Except for the rookie Genin who graduated from the new generation and a few lucky ones, the rest are elite warriors who are willing to fight to the death.

Even if there are only 3,000 people, the combat power that can be unleashed is unparalleled, not to mention that the leader is Mei Terumi, who is already at the level of a Kage.

According to past experience, such a legion composition is sufficient to deal with almost all hostile situations.

What's more, the main force of this operation is Kumogakure and Konoha.

On this point, Master Yuan and Mei Terumi both saw it very clearly, and that was when the personnel were complete and the supplies were almost mobilized.

As Aoi sent a reply letter in the name of Master Yuan, agreeing to Konoha's joint action.

Mei Terumi also led these Mist Ninjas through the waves.

Move forward quickly towards the mainland.

And that was before the Mist Ninjas took action.

The Cloud Ninjas in the northeastern corner of the continent took the lead in taking action, just as the Master had predicted.

It can be said that the Fourth Raikage received the news earlier than the Master.

Almost immediately after it was corroborated by its own intelligence system.

He was instantly furious!

The ferocious look he revealed in the office was as if he wanted to fly to the front line immediately, find Orochimaru, Menma and others, and eat them alive.

Although from the current information, there is no evidence to confirm 100% that Darui and his group died at the hands of Orochimaru and Menma.

But for this kind of thing, just having doubts is enough.

Not to mention.

The Nine-Tails itself is the prey that the Fourth Raikage has always dreamed of obtaining.

And now we have to add Vulpix and Nanabi.

This is a pure combination of interests and hatred.

It was impossible for the Fourth Raikage not to take action, not to mention that as soon as he dozed off, Konoha directly sent him a pillow. Therefore, the Fourth Raikage once again made the final decision.

Directly when the intelligence is solid.

An order for war mobilization was issued.

Of course, even in his rage, the Fourth Raikage Ai still maintained his basic rationality and did not express any intention of launching an all-out war. One reason was that he was wary of the preparations of Konoha and Kirigakure.

The five major ninja villages have been fighting each other for decades.

Talk about trust and friendship?

That's a joke.

No matter what the circumstances, the five major ninja villages must be vigilant and alert to each other. The situation where they are happily fighting with other ninja villages in the front and suddenly being ambushed by other ninja villages from behind has happened countless times in the past three Ninja World Wars.

Konoha was undoubtedly the hardest hit area.

The Hidden Cloud Village has also experienced disasters.

The Iwagakure Village during the Third Shinobi World War is a recent example.

Therefore, on the necessary line of defense, the Fourth Raikage not only did not relax at all, but also further strengthened the defensive force.

As for Orochimaru and Uzumaki Menma, there are also the issues of Kusagakure Village and Takigakure Village that will follow.

This time!

The Fourth Raikage plans to lead the team himself!

Coincidentally, the Fourth Raikage really doesn't want to see similar things happen again. The enemies he has to deal with now can be completely regarded as a large ninja village of the same level, Takigakure Village + Kusagakure Village!

The number of troops capable of fighting reached 7,000 to 8,000, or even more.

The most important ones are the three tailed beast jinchūriki!

And Orochimaru, who has been a famous Five Kage for many years (until now, most people in the outside world still think that Menma is subordinate to Orochimaru.)

If it is handed over to someone else to take charge.

It's no longer a question of being cautious enough.

But it's just that there's water in her brain.

The Fourth Raikage, who had already determined to assert his own village's hegemony like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, conveyed the order from top to bottom without any hesitation.

Also gathered were more than 3,000 elite Cloud Ninjas, as well as the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, who was specially summoned back by the Fourth Raikage - Yukito.

It was under the leadership of the Fourth Raikage.

They sped down the road and headed towards the Takigakure Village located in the southwest of the Land of Lightning.

It must be said.

This Fourth Raikage is truly unparalleled in his execution ability.

When the Konohagakure Village received the news.

The Fourth Raikage had already led his own Cloud Ninja Army to the border of the Frost Country, and then headed westward all the way to the Taki Country.

"Fourth Raikage, should we really not wait for Konoha to act together? And in Kirigakure, I heard that Konoha has also sent someone to request joint action. Judging from the current situation, it is best for the other two families to take the lead, or for all three families to act together. If we start the war first, we will most likely suffer the heaviest blow. No matter what, there are three tailed beast Jinchuriki there now."

On the fast road.

The staff officer Tutai, who was standing right beside the Fourth Raikage, also looked at the Fourth Raikage's profile with a serious expression and spoke in a deep voice.

This time the action itself.

Tutai has no objection.

There is hatred in the first place. Dodai knows too well the status of Darui in his own ninja village and in the heart of his own Raikage. When such an important figure is killed, revenge will definitely be sought. Their Cloud Village is not Konoha.

Otherwise, the Fourth Raikage would not have directly attacked Konoha with only the slightest sign. Now that it is almost 100% confirmed that it was Orochimaru and Uzumaki Menma who did it, it is inevitable for him to take action.

It is also said that there are huge interests such as Six-Tailed Fox, Seven-Tailed Fox, and Nine-Tailed Fox.

It is impossible for Tutai not to support it.

But he still opposed such a hasty dispatch of troops. The situation must be shown, but at least Konoha should be dragged into the action, right?

This is not just about sharing the pressure, but also a form of pressure on Konoha.

Dodai didn't want to see the end where their own ninja village had to confront Orochimaru and Uzumaki Menma. The risk was too high.

"Dodai, we do need to be cautious, but we have to consider the situation. Now is not the time to worry about those details. Humph, wait for Konoha? No, I will not give up such an advantage. As for the risk you mentioned? Isn't it enough to defeat the enemy with thunder? Moreover, do you think Konoha will wait and see after taking the initiative to propose it? Do they dare? Now we have the initiative, unless those guys in Konoha really want to start a full-scale war with our Hidden Cloud Village. But even if that happens, I have a way to deal with it!"

The Fourth Raikage Ai didn't even turn his head and spoke directly with a disdainful tone.

Ling Tutai's expression changed slightly.

The next second, a hint of realization flashed in his pupils. At this moment, Tsuchida could truly understand why his own Fourth Raikage was so decisive in leading the troops forward.
