The Shadow of Konoha

The next day, the negotiations between Konoha and Kumogakure resumed.

"After repeated consideration, we decided to accept your conditions. In exchange for the 'fact' of killing Kinkaku and Ginkaku, we agree to move our defense line towards the Land of Grass." The Raikage made this decision shortly after the second round of negotiations began.

Homura and Kagami looked at each other and could see joy in each other's eyes. In fact, after coming to this secret room and finding out that the only people from Kumogakure who participated in the negotiations today were the Raikage and his guard from yesterday, they had already realized that the situation might develop in the direction they expected. But they did not expect that the Raikage's decision would come so quickly.

I imagine that even if the Raikage really accepted such a condition, there should be more arguments between them. This is indeed due to his personality. Before making a decision, the Raikage may hesitate, but once he makes up his mind, he will not bother with any details.

This kind of decisiveness is certainly worthy of praise, and Konoha's trip to Kumogakure has yielded great gains.

"In this negotiation, we both got what we wanted. The two countries can free themselves from the fighting between each other. In future wars, the situation of the Lightning Nation and the Fire Nation will be clearer." Sansho couldn't help but say.

"I hope so." Raikage said this. On the surface, this negotiation seemed to be a win-win situation, but he always felt that Kumogakure was the losing party.

Soon, the two sides drafted an alliance agreement, and then the Third Raikage and the Third Hokage's plenipotentiary representative Mitokado Homura signed their names on the agreement, and the alliance between Konoha and Kumogakure was immediately reached. Afterwards, the two sides drafted another secret agreement, which guaranteed that Kumogakure would turn its defense line to the Land of Grass, etc. The secret transaction process would not be implemented on paper, but there was no doubt about the effectiveness of this secret agreement.

After the negotiations on paper were completed, the matter of Kinkaku and Ginkaku became urgent.

The news of the renewed alliance agreement with Konoha was immediately spread throughout the Hidden Cloud Village. The Konoha envoy, who had completed his mission, hurriedly chose to leave Hidden Cloud Village at noon, as if he was anxious to bring the news back to Konoha.

Not long after Hanyu and his companions left Konoha, the intelligence system of Kumogakure "suddenly" discovered traces of the rebel ninja Kinkaku and Ginkaku. In a hurry, the Third Raikage Ai led three elite ninjas and launched a hasty attack despite the opposition of the village.

The four-man team of Raikage broke into the Land of Rice at an extremely fast speed.

"Everyone, be careful. We may be quite close to the location of Kinkaku and Ginkaku. Their strength is self-evident. Please be cautious in your next actions." After arriving at a certain agreed location in the Land of Rice, the Raikage said this while secretly nodding imperceptibly to the people in the team.

So B continued what the Raikage had said, "Well, after the consecutive battles, I'm sure the two rebel ninjas won't be in perfect condition, so there's no need to worry too much... Wait! What's going on over there?!"

While speaking, he suddenly turned his face to another direction and made a sound of shock and anger!

With such a surprise, the other two people in the team reacted quickly. They naturally turned their heads in the direction that Bee was looking at, and then... a pair of scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan appeared in front of them.

As a line of blood and tears ran down Uchiha Kagami's cheek, the two ninjas just stood there silently.

"You are a little later than the agreed time." Uchiha Kagami slowly closed one eye and said to the Raikage.

"Because of the obstruction of the old men in the village, I was delayed for some time." The third Raikage said. The disadvantage of becoming the Kage of a village is that as the person with the highest responsibility for a village, he can no longer travel freely.

"Stop talking nonsense and take me to Kinkaku and Ginkaku. And... they won't wake up, right?" Raikage said again, pointing at his two companions.

"How could the Sharingan's customized illusion be awakened so easily? In their minds, you are now fighting alternately with Kinkaku and Ginkaku." Uchiha Kagami said as he turned in the direction of the Konoha group.

The Raikage temporarily left the two companions who were under the illusion here, and he brought B with him and followed Uchiha Kagami.

Less than five minutes later, the Raikage saw the Kinkaku and Ginkaku he had been longing for, as well as the several vital ninja tools next to their bodies.

"It's them." After arriving here, B immediately confirmed the identities.

"Where is the barrier?" asked the Raikage.

"It's already opened." said Mizuto Menyan.

The Raikage nodded and squatted beside the bodies of Kinkaku and Ginkaku.

"We returned everything they had, but the Red Gourd and the Seven Star Sword were destroyed in the battle with the Second Hokage. We have explained this before, and I hope you can understand." Seeing that the Raikage was staring at the fragments of ninja tools, Sansho had to explain.

Hanyu moved his body to the side calmly , trying to reduce his presence as much as possible. Well, these two things were originally destroyed by the Second Hokage. Do they have anything to do with him, Hanyu Yu?

The Raikage naturally had no way of caring about this matter. He signaled B to put away the ninja tools and the fragments of the ninja tools, then placed his two hands on Kinkaku and Ginkaku's bodies respectively, and then... the powerful Lightning Release instantly passed through their bodies.

This shows that although it looked like he was whipping a corpse, his actual nature was also whipping a corpse, but the Raikage's motive was definitely not to whip a corpse, but to use Lightning Release to cover up as much as possible the traces left by the Second Hokage on the two rebel ninjas, while blurring the time of their death... Therefore, the Raikage did not retract his technique until the bodies of the two men were half-carbonized.

"Everyone, please help me." After dealing with the corpse, the Raikage said to everyone.

Everyone nodded, and then released various ninjutsu, wantonly destroying the surrounding environment to create a scene of fierce fighting. Because the barrier was set up in advance, even if one or two ninjas were attracted to this remote place by the noise, they would not be able to break through the barrier to see what was happening inside.

The traces of destruction extended all the way to the place where Uchiha Kagami released the illusion, and then the Raikage came to the two companions who were still in the illusion.

"I'm sorry, both of you."

Having said that, the Raikage acted without hesitation and knocked the two Kumogakure ninjas to the ground with one punch each, as if they had been knocked down the first moment they encountered Kinkaku and Ginkaku... This explains why they were observing everything from the perspective of spectators during the fierce battle.

After helping to use a series of skills, there were no more Konoha ninjas here, and Hanyu and the others withdrew from the barrier and evacuated towards the Land of Fire. At this point, their mission had been successfully completed.

"The competition can continue." After the Konoha people left, the Raikage instructed the people around him. In his opinion, this battlefield was not realistic enough, and since he had decided to fake it, he had to make it look as real as possible.

Bee nodded, and then powerful and violent chakra surged out of him... B was the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and of course this information had to be kept secret from Konoha, but after the people of Konoha left, Bee began to release the power of the tailed beasts.

Unfortunately, he was not a perfect Jinchūriki. As the seal of the Eight-Tails loosened and the chakra continued to overflow, he gradually lost control. The violent tailed beast fought with the Third Raikage.

By the time the Raikage stuffed the tailed beast back into Bee's body, he himself had become in a miserable state, and Bee was half dead... Kinkaku and Ginkaku can transform into tailed beasts, but now this battlefield is full of the Eight-Tails' chakra. Who can specifically tell whether the chakra belongs to the Eight-Tails or the Nine-Tails?

"Are you okay?" Raikage asked his partner.

"Well, nothing serious." What could be a big deal? He was just beaten half to death by Pang.

"Wake up those two people, remove the barrier, and then... call the people in the village." The Raikage glanced in the direction of Kumogakure.

This action went against his original intention, but it was ultimately a major benefit to Kumo.

…

On the other side, the Konoha group did not know that the Raikage continued to mess around in the same place for a long time after they left. After completing all the covenants, transactions and exchanges, they passed by the front line and returned to the Hidden Leaf .
