Plum Blossoms Bloom Twice ~Oh Yeah~
Whoosh～
A sharp whistling sound accompanied by the crackle of thunder came from due north.
Third Raikage A, who had leaped high into the air, was enveloped in the violent electric light of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and crashed down less than ten meters in front of the Konoha crowd!
Judging by his terrifying momentum, he was clearly preparing to smash a deep, cracked pit into the ground to intimidate everyone.

It's just that...
The wooden ground, created by Sage Art Wood Release, was several dozen meters thick, and its defensive power and toughness were far superior to ordinary ground.
Third Raikage A was just preparing to make a grand entrance, not to attack enemies or burrow underground.
With insufficient force...
Duang～
Third Raikage A, who had spread his legs shoulder-width apart and slightly bent his knees to cushion the impact, flipped up like a toad, drawing an arc in the air.
When he landed again, he was already several dozen meters away.
The scene was silent.
The Konoha people had the urge to dig the ground with their toes. Third Raikage's back was to them, and they didn't know whether to turn him back or not.
Damn it!
Which grandson built the ground like this? Is wood free in your house?
No, wait, the wood in Konoha really seems to be free!
"♫ The hard wooden ground, surprisingly elastic! ♫ Third Raikage bounced away, speechless and embarrassed! Oh yeah! ♫ But luckily, it's not a hollow ground, didn't smash into the unseen below! ♫ Yeah yeah yeah! ♫"
Killer Bee's strange tone came.
Thump～
"Damn it! Be serious!"
A, who had not yet become the Fourth Raikage, punched Killer Bee on the head, veins popping on his forehead.
If his father, the Third Raikage, lost face, then Cloud Village lost face!
This bastard Killer Bee actually had the mind to rap here!
Was he trying to make the Konoha guys laugh to death?
Whoosh～
Another sharp whistling sound came from afar.
Ōnoki, maintaining his flight with Earth Release: Super Light-Weight Rock Technique, landed heavily at the spot where Third Raikage A had first landed, his face gloomy.
It was one thing for his speed to be inferior to Cloud Village's Third Raikage A!
But he was even surpassed by a junior from Cloud Village!
However!
Third Raikage A was just sent flying, wasn't he!
A muscle-brained brute through and through!
Watch Old Man give you a smash!
"System, grant [Hard Landing] to Onoki."
Yamanaka Kei watched the Earth Release Chakra gathering beneath Onoki's feet, his expression darkening.
Well, well.
The Third Raikage, never having been beaten enough, wants to try a preemptive strike in front of Konoha, fine.
But you, Onoki, were beaten into a state of depression last time.
And you're already acting up again so soon?
A gray light, visible only to Yamanaka Kei, flashed and disappeared into Onoki's body.
The next second.
Thump~ Crack~ Boom~
Carrying tremendous force, Onoki landed heavily, a clear sound of bone dislocation coming from his waist.
Before the old man could react further.
The downward momentum, enhanced by Earth Release: Added-Weight Rock Technique, made his knees buckle, his hands hit the ground, and he knelt squarely in front of the Konoha group.
"..."
The scene fell into a silence more terrifying than quiet.
"♫ Plums bloom twice, surprises always come! ♫ Two Thirds..."
Slap~
"Shut up!"
A darkened face, Little A slapped Killer Bee on the back of the head.
Mocking Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki was one thing, but he was about to mock their own Third Raikage as well?
"The Tsuchikage truly has no backbone."
Seeing someone else in an even more embarrassing situation than himself, Third Raikage A decisively turned around and began to mock.
Damn old man, clearly a collaboration that would benefit both Iwagakure and Cloud Village, yet he kept making excuses, wanting Cloud Village to take the lead first, then decide whether to participate based on the situation!
Serves the old bastard right for kneeling here today!
"Old Man already stepped down! If you want to mock someone, go find Kitsuchi!"
Onoki's face was covered in cold sweat from the pain, but he still retorted to the Raikage without holding back.
Back then, Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karatachi had no backbone even before he stepped down. They agreed to work together, but the result left him seeing stars!
He's just a washed-up old geezer who's already retired.
What does the Third Raikage scolding the Tsuchikage have to do with him!
Let Kitsuchi handle it himself!
Anyway, that guy wanted to be the Tsuchikage himself, it's not like he forced him!
"Ah?! Old Man! You..."
Kitsuchi, the Fourth Tsuchikage, arrived late, rushing over to help Ōnoki up.
"Don't move! It's br-broken!"
Ōnoki urgently stopped his son.
Judging from his years of back pain, being helped up rashly would only worsen the injury!
"...I was actually looking forward to a fight with you, but you came up and gave me such a big bow, it makes me feel bad to even hit you."
Tsunade was silent for a long while, then unhappily curled her lip.
She stepped forward to Ōnoki.
Looking at Kitsuchi, who was wearing the Tsuchikage hat, giving her an honest and simple smile, she squatted down, the light of Medical Ninjutsu shining in her palm, and slapped Ōnoki on his lower back.
Crack
The misaligned disc quickly returned to its place.
Along with it, the surrounding damaged muscles also rapidly recovered under the Mystical Palm Technique.
"That was just an accident! If Tsunade-hime wants to spar, after we finish our business, this old man will be happy to oblige at any time."
Ōnoki felt the rapid recovery of his back injury, and his expression quickly relaxed.
But looking at the two knee imprints that had been forcefully kowtowed into the wooden floor, he had an urge to escape back to Iwagakure!
Damn it, why did it have to be at a time like this!
My lifelong reputation!
"Minor bone fracture, superficial treatment can only guarantee temporary relief, your body is too old, not suitable for excessive stimulation, go back and rest for another half month."
Tsunade stood up again, the light of Medical Ninjutsu in her palm also dissipated.
She did have the ability to make the other party jump around immediately without damaging Ōnoki's lifespan.
But why should she?
She was willing to treat him, only because Kitsuchi sincerely wanted a Village Merger.
"Does the Hokage also want to fight? This old man also happens to have the same idea."
The Third Raikage A glanced obscurely at Yamanaka Kei, who had not spoken all along.
He was very clear that the legendary Wood Release was an insurmountable mountain.
And also the strongest opponent they had to face!
But he had heard that the current Fourth Hokage, Tsunade, and Yamanaka Kei had a very close relationship. If he could defeat Tsunade and use her as a threat, Iwagakure would definitely not sit still!
Ōnoki was not the kind of person who would easily compromise!
Four-Tails, Five-Tails, Eight Tails, Ōnoki, Kitsuchi, plus his son!
As long as they could see the possibility of jointly defeating Konoha, then today they might have a chance to defeat the Wood Release ninjas!
As for the possibility of failure...
They from Cloud Village had always only believed in fists!
The strong naturally had the right to decide everything!
As the Third Raikage A, he couldn't possibly knowingly send his subordinates to their deaths if they couldn't win!
As for Hidden Mist...
If there was even one normal person among those damned bastards in the Hidden Mist's higher-ups, he wouldn't be taking such a big risk here today for this last-ditch effort!
"Only you?"
Tsunade's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this.
She had almost died on the spot from a bite, and only then did she gain her current strength. Before she could properly enjoy the pleasure of being strong, she was beaten up by her great-grandfather's Wood Golem.
And he even said something like, since you can't die anyway, just treat it as physical training!
She didn't want that!
Right now, she just wanted to beat people up!
"My subordinates have also long admired the names of Konoha's ninjas."
Third Raikage A frowned slightly, not knowing why Tsunade seemed to be somewhat excited, but he still gave Killer Bee and the others a look.
"Eight Tails is mine!"
Kushina cracked her knuckles, her eyes full of anticipation as she looked at Killer Bee.
It was her first time seeing a Jinchuriki from another village!
How could she let this go!
"Youth..."
"This one will..."
Might Dai was about to say some passionate words, but seeing Fugaku Uchiha rush forward to attack, he quickly stopped and pulled him back.
"Lord Hokage and Kei-sama not only healed my body but also redeemed my youth! Chief Fugaku, this unpayable gratitude..."
"The Uchiha clan has always been taken care of by Lord Hokage and Kei-sama. As the clan head, I have always sincerely wanted to repay them..."
The two glared at each other with Sharingan eyes, each saying their own thing, wanting the other to go back.
"I would also like to experience the Sharingan of the Uchiha, I wonder if Lord Hokage minds."
The Four-Tails Jinchuriki Roshi from Iwagakure stepped forward, and in the stunned gazes of Kitsuchi and Ōnoki, he took the initiative to challenge Fugaku Uchiha.
Fugaku Uchiha subconsciously looked at Kushina beside him.
Just now, when Kei-sama mentioned the Four-Tails, Five-Tails, and Eight-Tails, he specifically named his girlfriend.
This...
"Here you go, here you go."
Kushina generously waved her hand, giving away the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi.
"Then thank you very much, Kushina-sama."
Fugaku Uchiha's nasolabial folds deepened, and he wondered if he should give Kushina two storefronts as a thank you.
He heard that she quite liked collecting rent!
"Does Iwagakure have anyone else who wants to spar?"
Tsunade looked at Ōnoki and Kitsuchi, and pointed to Yamanaka Kei beside her.
"I admit that I am not as strong as Kei-kun. This old man is too old and not suitable for fighting. Han has never liked violence. Why don't we go to the building and sit down for a chat?"
Kitsuchi grabbed his old father, subtly using his butt to nudge the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Han, fearing that they would rebel like Roshi!
"My... my waist!"
Ōnoki felt Kitsuchi's arm tightening around him and hurriedly cried out to stop him.
The Cloud Village guys were far away from Sand Village and didn't know that Konoha had used Reanimation Jutsu to bring back the First Hokage, Second Hokage, and Madara Uchiha. But he knew it very well!
Did they really think his brain was filled with magma like Roshi?
Damn it, that guy deserved to be beaten today!
"Humph! This is my personal behavior and has nothing to do with the village."
Roshi saw the expression on Ōnoki's face, as if he wanted to tear him apart, snorted coldly, and stared at Fugaku Uchiha.
"Let's go, let's go, let's all have tea together!"
Yamanaka Kei waved to Kurama Murakumo, Hyuga Hizashi, and others who were at the end of the team, and headed towards the building.
"Hokage, be careful!"
Third Raikage A, who had already run out of patience, saw Yamanaka Kei leading the Tsuchikage and others away. His eyes narrowed slightly, and Lightning Release Chakra Mode burst out. He turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed towards Tsunade!
Hell Stab: Four-Finger Nukite!
Boom!
Tsunade blocked Third Raikage A's attack with a punch, her feet dragging a dozen meters long trail on the ground before she stopped retreating.
Looking at the small puncture on her right fist.
She was pleasantly surprised!
"Sage Art: Mitotic Regeneration: Sage Mode, Open!"
"Magical Girl Transformation!"
Tsunade's eyes twitched incessantly as she heard Kushina shout out the 'name of the technique' at the same time as her.
Damn it!
If she had known, she wouldn't have shouted just now!
Did that bastard Yamanaka Kei infect her sister?
They're fighting, okay!
Shouting out the name of such a technique really affects the momentum, hey!
Besides, you're twenty years old!
Not twelve, is it really appropriate to call yourself a maiden?!
