Chapter 486: Willing to Spend Money
Chapter 486: Willing to Spend Money
Killer Bee looked at his eldest brother's departing back, and a hint of worry slowly revealed in his originally determined eyes.
Ever since his big brother returned from the battlefield a year ago and had his arm healed by a miracle doctor that no one had ever heard of, everything seemed to have become a little different.
After the initial joy of seeing the big brother's severed limbs regenerated.
Killer Bee gradually discovered.
The big brother's personality seems to be changing quietly.
'Maybe it's because, after the Third Raikage's death, Big Brother has been under too much pressure as the Raikage?'
This is how Killer Bee has always comforted himself.
Just this time.
Most of the think tanks in the village, including Dodai, strongly suggested taking advantage of the Five Kage Summit to end this protracted war of attrition.
After all, the Kumogakure Village first clashed with the Kirigakure Village, and was then betrayed by its ally, the Iwagakure Village, which led to the death of the Third Raikage.
The war with Konoha has remained at a stalemate.
The battlefield has retreated from the Land of Fire back to the Land of Hot Water, and the strategic goals set before the war have been a total failure.
Not to mention the current shortage of supplies and personnel.
Even with the militant style of the Kumogakure Village, many ninjas who retreated from the front lines have begun to show signs of war-weariness.
If the daimyo had not suddenly changed his mind and provided a large amount of supplies to Kumogakure Village.
Perhaps the Kumogakure Village can only survive by relying on its bloodiness and the hatred for the death of the Third Raikage.
But in this situation, the big brother still wants to end this war with a real victory.
Although Killer Bee stood firmly on the side of his big brother, he still couldn't help feeling worried.
Even if he had not been ordered to hold up the battle situation in the Kumogakure Village in a critical moment, and had not had the reputation left by the Third Raikage, this decision might not have been successfully approved by other senior executives.
'Although the reasons given by my brother do make sense. '
According to the Fourth Generation Ai, although Konoha now intends to use the pressure from other ninja villages to promote peace talks, a formal armistice agreement has not yet been reached.
As long as they take advantage of this opportunity and gain enough fruits of victory, these will become bargaining chips that can be brought to the negotiating table.
And when Konoha initiated the Five Kage Summit and let down its guard, it was the best time for Kumogakure to attack.
By then, even if the other four great ninja villages join forces to put pressure on Kumogakure to give up the results of the victory, they will still have to pay a certain price.
After all, the other villages only want a peaceful situation, and they may not necessarily want to use this opportunity to inflict a heavy loss on Konoha.
As long as the Five Kage Summit makes a decision, the Fourth Generation Ai will immediately send a message to the front line to stop the attack.
At that time, Konoha will have no choice but to grit its teeth and swallow the bitter fruit.
However, the Fourth Generation Ai took the Chief of Staff Dodai away as an escort and handed the command of the war to Killer Bee.
This also made the other Kumogakure leaders a little confused.
'Hope everything goes well! '
Looking at his big brother leaving with Dodai and Toroi, Killer Bee prayed silently in his heart.
Then he took a look at the determined-looking Kumogakure ninja troops behind him, and the two tails Jinchuriki Nii Yugito, who was only in her teens. Killer Bee dispelled all unnecessary thoughts in his mind and shouted loudly.
"Let's go!"
What all the Kumogakure ninjas didn't notice was.
On the roof of an inconspicuous house, a cold black-haired girl wearing a black robe with purple pupils slowly disappeared and followed the large Kumogakure army that was mobilized.
Four days later.
Looking at the heavy snow falling from the sky and the vast white scene in front of him.
Zabuza tightened his thick cloak again and complained helplessly.
"If we're going to have a talk, then have a talk. Why choose a godforsaken place like this?"
Kaito looked at Zabuza, who was shivering from the cold, with some amusement.
He didn't expect this guy to be so cold-resistant.
"This is too much for you? And here I was thinking of introducing you to a girl from the Yuki Clan. You wouldn't last a day with them!?"
"What girl?! Don't talk nonsense! And those arrogant guys from the Yuki Clan. I wouldn't take one if you paid me!"
Looking at Zabuza who was staring with his one eye, and Mei who was covering her mouth and laughing beside him.
Kaito also laughed twice to himself.
Since the time had been calculated in advance, Kaito did not choose to fly directly to the Land of Iron with the two of them.
They stopped and walked along the way, and the three of them just entered the territory of the Land of Iron today.
But it is also because of their continued interactions over the past few days.
The two people, who had been somewhat estranged after Kaito became the Mizukage, regained their former tacit understanding.
Kaito even had the illusion that the three of them had returned to the days of being Genin again, and now they were just a team of three leaving the village to carry out a mission together.
Even Mei, who had been avoiding Kaito, had nowhere to hide these days.
Instead, it became a lot more natural again.
Well, apart from the fact that her voice became a little gentle and artificial, and little stars appeared in her eyes from time to time, other aspects were indeed a lot more natural.
Just as the three were talking, five strange ninjas suddenly rushed out from the woods nearby. They were dressed in strange clothes and had things like tails wrapped around their waists.
The leader stood in front of Kaito and the other two with an arrogant attitude, as if he was watching a show, without saying a word.
"No, are they really here to stop us?"
"Red, yellow, blue, green, and purple. Are you some kind of Power Rangers squad?"
Looking at the people in front of him who had an attitude of "we're number one", Kaito complained speechlessly.
Zabuza had reminded him before that there were five people with fairly strong chakra reactions in the woods ahead, but their strength was just barely enough to reach the level of a jonin. Kaito never expected that they were actually looking for trouble with him.
The white-haired man in red clothes who was leading the opposite party didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Kaito's words, and he still spoke with a cool expression.
"Someone is paying for your lives, and they are willing to spend the money!"
Upon hearing this, Kaito helplessly held his forehead, reached out to take out the Mizukage hat behind him and shook it.
"See this?"
Despite Kaito's resistance to the cold, he did not wear a thick cloak like Zabuza.
He really couldn't understand how these scumbags on the opposite side dared to brazenly say that they wanted to hunt him, the Mizukage?
Kaito, who found it somewhat funny, didn't want to kill these five idiots right away.
But the other party's next sentence made Kaito change his mind.
"That's right, we are going to kill you, the Mizukage! There is no target in the ninja world that the Nokizaru group cannot hunt!"
Upon hearing this, Kaito was shocked by the other party's stubbornness at first, and then he scratched his ears in astonishment.
"What do you call yourself? Nokizaru? Are you worthy of that?"
After saying that, Kaito was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with the idiot opposite him, and simply waved to the two people beside him.
"I'll leave it to you. Remember to leave him alive."
"I want to know who is willing to spend money like this."
