The Four Villages' Decision

Soon

Letters from Sunagakure were delivered to Iwagakure.

Iwagakure

Tsuchikage's office

The third Tsuchikage Onoki was currently discussing with his son Kitsuchi and others about whether they should send someone to kill Ryosuke.

For the part of the information about the strength of Ryosuke.

Onoki only believed half of it.

He thought that the intelligence personnel might have been frightened at that time, so they had exaggerated.

As for why Sunagakure had the same information?

Can only his spies use exaggerated words?

Maybe everyone was frightened and used exaggerated words, which is normal.

Onoki, who had seen Madara's strength when he was young, didn't believe that a mere 12 year old kid could have the terrifying power comparable to Madara.

But!

Even if the spy used exaggerated words, one thing is certain.

That is this Ryosuke does have the strength beyond the general Kage-level.

If he really wanted fought him alone, Onoki didn't have much confidence.

After all, he is old and his body is not as good as before.

Although his dust release is extremely lethal, if he can't hit someone, it's useless.

The key is with his Chakra, he can only use dust release a few times.

If he fails to hit this several times, what awaits him will be the crazy pursuit of the other party.

Onoki didn't think his old bones could hold up.

And!

This matter is not Iwagakure's at all, why should they Iwagakure do it by themselves?

What about Kumogakure, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure?

"Father, what did Sunagakure say?"

In Tsuchikage's office

Onoki's son Kitsuchi looked at his father and asked at this time.

Just now, Sunagakure's reply letter was delivered, and after reading the reply letter, Onoki looked lost in thought.

Kitsuchi couldn't wait, so he hurriedly asked him.

Onoki glanced at his son, and then said, "Sunagakure said that as long as the other three villages agree, they will take action together."

"What do you think, Dad?"

Kitsuchi hurriedly asked again.

Onoki spoke, "I'm still thinking. Kumogakure's choice is clear. With the Fourth Raikage's violent temper, he will definitely not refuse. The question now is what Kirigakure is thinking?"

"Father, is it really necessary to gather the strength of the four villages? I think three villages are enough, right?"

Kitsuchi thought for a while and spoke out his thoughts.

"Kurotsuchi, what do you think?"

Onoki did not answer his son's question immediately but looked at Kurotsuchi who was beside him.

Kurotsuchi said, "Grandpa, I think what dad said is right."

"Even if that Ryosuke has awakened Wood Release, he is still young. His strength should definitely not be as exaggerated as the information said."

"At most, he is a little stronger among Kage-level ninjas but that's all."

"That Flying Thunder God Technique is the most troublesome."

Although Kurotsuchi was still young, she was already showing some ability.

Onoki would ask the young Kurotsuchi to sit in the meetings with him.

Occasionally, he would even ask her to see what she thinks.

The same is true today.

After Onoki inquired about Kurotsuchi's thoughts, he pondered for a moment and said, "This Ryosuke is the second successor of Wood Release after Senju Hashirama, so he should not be underestimated."

"And even if there are exaggerations in the intelligence from the spies, it is basically certain that this person's strength has surpassed the Kage-level."

"If I fight him alone, even with my Dust Release, I may not be his match. What's more, as Kurotsuchi said, his Flying Thunder God Technique is also a problem."

Kitsuchi said, "Father, we can set up an ambush in advance."

Onoki nodded as he shared the same thought.

But now the problem is whether Konoha's information is credible.

What if this is a trap?

Onoki is old, what kind of conspiracy has he not seen?

Therefore, he had to consider whether such a possibility existed.

If it exists, how can it be eliminated?

Onoki ordered, "Let someone go to Konoha to investigate first. The person who is sent must have enmity with Ryosuke and even Konoha's current high-level. Investigate who the other party might be."

"Okay, I'll give orders now."

Kitsuchi nodded and immediately turned around to go down to work.

"Grandpa, is Wood release really that powerful?"

Kurotsuchi walked up to Onoki at this time and asked curiously.

Onoki said, "Of course it's amazing. That's Senju Hashirama's Wood Release. It's the power that calmed the troubled times."

Onoki shook his head and said, "You young people don't know how powerful Senju Hashirama was back then. He and Uchiha Madara forced the other Chinese ninjas to dare not invade the country of destruction."

"It wasn't until Madara left Konoha and Senju Hashirama died that the First Great Ninja War officially broke out."

"Before this, Senju Hashirama was sitting in Konoha, and no one dared to invade Konoha."

"Why? Because his Wood Release is an invincible force!"

Kurotsuchi couldn't help opening her mouth in surprise when she heard the introduction of his grandfather Onoki.

"Wood Release is so amazing!"

"Of course!"

Onoki said, "That's why we have to kill Ryosuke. Konoha can no longer give birth to a second Senju Hashirama!"

The five great villages in the five great countries had only been able to survive to this day by relying on the benevolence of Senju Hashirama.

If Senju Hashirama's character was not benevolent, then there would have been only one country and one village left in the world.

But!

Onoki couldn't guarantee that the next person with Senju Hashirama's strength will be as kind as Senju Hashirama.

And...

Judging from the information obtained so far, this Ryosuke is not a benevolent person like Senju Hashirama.

On the contrary, he is quite murderous.

If he has the strength of Senju Hashirama, will Konoha want to unify the entire world?

When that time comes, how will the villages resist?

Tailed Beast?

Do not make jokes!

Weren't their tailed beasts given by Senju Hashirama back then?

Senju Hashirama can suppress the Nine Tailed Beasts by himself.

Then, when Ryosuke grows up in the future, there is a high probability that he will also have such strength.

Therefore, they can't gamble, and they can't wait!

As long as this is not a trap deliberately arranged by Konoha, Onoki will never hesitate at all.

When the time comes, the four villages will join forces and send out the strongest ninja teams to kill Ryosuke.

Kill him before he's fully grown!

'As long as it is confirmed that this is not a trap, I will personally contact th Mizukage. Even if Kirigakure is not involved at this time, we can just gather the strength of the three great villages and take action.' Onoki thought to himself.

Kirigakure

Inside Mizukage's office.

Terumi Mei, who had just taken the position of the Fifth Mizukage not long ago was discussing these two pieces of information with her subordinates Ao and Chojuro.

"Lord Mizukage, I do not recommend that Kirigakure participate in this plan. The village has just begun to restore stability, and it is really not suitable to participate in this kind of action against Konoha."

After reading the information, Chojuro gave his own suggestion.

They Kirigakure have never had much direct conflict with Konoha.

In the three great ninja wars, Kirigakure didn't participate much.

Their relationship with Konoha can't be said to be good, but it is definitely not as bad as Kumogakure.

And!

The most important thing is that Kirigakure has just ended the coup.

The Fifth Mizukage has just come to power.

At this time, the village's power isn't very good.

The most important thing at this time is to recuperate and cultivate the next generation of ninjas instead of offending Konoha for no reason.

As for Ryosuke growing up to endanger Kirigakure in the future?

Chojuro was not worried.

Because the Kages of the other three villages are more worried than Kirigakure.

Even if they Kirigakure do not participate in this matter, the other three villages will not stop their actions.

"Lord Mizukage, we can completely watch this matter from the sidelines. Even without us, the other three villages will definitely take action. Regardless of whether they succeed or not, we will be the ones who will get the most benefit."

Ao also opened his mouth to express his thoughts at this time.

Like Chojuro, he disapproved of participating in this matter because Kirigakure is too weak right now.

There are less than a thousand ninjas in the village.

There are not even a hundred Jonins.

With such strength, if they rashly participate in this kind of thing, even if they kill that Ryosuke in the end, Kirigakure will suffer heavy losses.

Not to mention, doing so is tantamount to offending Konoha.

When the time comes, Konoha will beat them like crazy, what should they do then?

Konoha's current Hokage is Tsunade.

That's the princess of the Senju clan.

If they kill Ryosuke, the Wood release successor, will she swallow her anger?

Please!

She is not Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Tsunade will definitely go crazy to avenge Ryosuke by then.

At that time!

Kirigakure, who is the weakest, will likely become the first target of Konoha.

As for expecting the other three villages to help them at that time?

Hehe~!

Even a three year old knows that that's impossible.

The other three villages will just watch Kirigakure die.

Because Konoha's strength will be consumed and their own safety will be ensured that way.

"Don't worry, I didn't want to participate anyway."

Terumi Mei casually threw the two pieces of information aside.

She smiled and said, "However, I'm quite interested in this little brother Ryosuke. He is already so powerful at the age of 12. If he really grows up, will he be invincible in the world?"

Chojuro said, "It's hard to say. Some people's potential will be exhausted before they reach adulthood. This Ryosuke may be such a person."

"Who knows?! But I really want to see this little brother." Terumi Mei said with a smile.

Land of Fire

On a certain official road.

A caravan is advancing. There are more than a dozen carriages in the team, which are escorting a large amount of equipment and materials, all of which are to be sent to the country of iron.

At the same time!

Team 10 led by Ryosuke is protecting the caravan.

In front of the caravan are Ryosuke and Ino, with Shikamaru and Chōji guarding the rear.

It has been half a day since they left the village.

In about two or three hours, they will arrive at the first resting town.

At that time, they will rest in the town for one night, and then continue to set off after dawn tomorrow.

It will take about ten days to travel from Konoha to the delivery location of Land of Iron.

After all, the progress of the caravan was too slow.

That's why, this time the task was rated as B-rank instead of C-rank.

Because of the long distance, there may be too many unexpected situations in the middle.

They might be targeted by ninjas.

After all, there are several towns on the way from the Land of Fire to the Land of Iron.

In these towns, there may be some people with bad intentions.

Ino asked, "Ryosuke, do you think someone will come to rob the caravan later?"

Ino looked around curiously. This was her first B-rank mission.

She was escorting such a large caravan, so it was inevitable that she was a little excited.

Ryosuke said, "It's hard to say today, but there is a high probability that something will happen tomorrow."

The place they were at today was relatively close to Konoha.

Others wouldn't dare to act near Konoha.

But tomorrow they will be farther away from Konoha.

For those rebels, such a caravan is very valuable.

"Is that so?"

Ino nodded upon hearing this, and then glanced curiously at the carriages in the caravan.

"I wonder what's on it?"

She muttered something under her breath.
