Kumogakure.
The Third Raikage and the future Fourth Raikage A engage in a fierce hand-to-hand combat on the training ground.
Both sides activated the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and it seemed like they were fighting without caring about the other's life or death.
In the end, the future Fourth Raikage A collapsed to the ground in a disgraceful manner, while the Third Raikage was still a little dissatisfied.
The training ground was in a mess, with gullies appearing everywhere, which was the result of the aftermath of the battle.
"A, you still have a long way to go. You must grow up quickly to be able to face the current chaos in the ninja world."
The Third Raikage came to A, stretched out his hand, and pulled him up from the ground, with a serious look in his eyes.
There is a hint of dissatisfaction with A's growing strength.
"Dad, when Killer B's training is over, the two of us will be together, and our strength will definitely make a qualitative leap."
A wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fist and said nonchalantly.
Bang...
A warning flashed across Sandaime Raikage's face, and he punched A on the head.
A large bulge was visible to the naked eye.
"Nawaki Senju, who is the same age as you, already has the strength to fight me, and even surpasses me.
You are too relaxed about yourself. For the sake of Kumogakure and the Land of Lightning, you must grow up quickly."
The Sandaime Raikage's voice became extremely serious.
A sense of urgency was imprinted in A's heart.
"Dad, during our last brief meeting in the Wooden City, I had a feeling that Nawaki Senju's strength was a little greater than mine, but not as great as you said!
Does he really have the strength to fight you?"
A had a dark face and two white and yellow eyebrows, which came together to raise his questions.
In his heart, his father is someone who can fight hand-to-hand with the Eight-Tails and can rule an entire country by himself.
He is the strongest among all Kages. Even Hanzō of the Salamander who is known as the demigod of the ninja world, is no match for his father.
The last time we met in the Wooden City, we saw a great show. The one who took action was Doma Senju, and Nawaki Senju was covering him.
The strength displayed is only at the elite Jōnin level, but because of the special nature of Mokuton, it can be compared to the Kage level.
It's totally different from what his father said, that he has the strength comparable to the strongest Raikage.
Is it too alarmist?
"A, don't be fooled by appearances.
Judging from the currently known information, the elites of Sunagakure and Konohagakure have joined forces to ambush Nawaki Senju.
He was defeated by his Mokuton technique.
Among them was an old antique who was of the same generation as me—the Second Kazekage.
Judging from his record alone, his strength may have surpassed mine."
The Third Raikage let out a long breath, an unwilling look on his face.
But the facts are there.
Even he could not achieve the same result as Nawaki Senju.
He comforted himself in his heart that this was the result of the cooperation between Nawaki Senju and Doma Senju.
But even so, it is still very terrifying.
"A, go to Turtle Island and train with Killer B. After everything is over, return Turtle Island to the Senju clan. This originally belonged to the Uzumaki clan."
[A guess.]
The Uzumaki clan's summoned beast is a turtle. The huge Turtle Island is home to the largest summoned beast and is also where the Uzumaki clan's summoned beasts live.
First, the family emblem of the Uzumaki clan is a whirlpool pattern, which can be seen on the turtle shell of Turtle Island.
Second, some facilities on Turtle Island have a restraining effect on the tailed beasts, just as the Uzumaki clan restrains the tailed beasts.
Third, the Uzumaki clan has a huge amount of chakra, which is why it is possible for them to summon a summoning beast as big as Turtle Island.
Fourth, turtles are long-lived, and all varieties, including red, have some similarities.
Fifth, personal settings.
The Third Raikage took a look at the thunderclouds that always lingered in Kumogakure and made a decision in his heart.
Judging from previous information, Nawaki Senju is very concerned about the affairs of the Uzumaki clan.
The Uzumaki clan's property must be dealt with as soon as possible.
Among them, Turtle Island, which is the most useful to them, also needs to be returned as soon as possible.
"Got it, Dad."
A still wanted to resist, but he saw unprecedented seriousness in his father's eyes and nodded very solemnly.
The pursuit of strength in my heart has reached a peak.
…
Iwagakure.
Ōnoki was floating right above the Tsuchikage Building, and the direction his rosacea was facing was the direction of the Land of Fire.
"The Land of Fire is truly fortunate. Even with the emergence of the great thief Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the internal and external troubles, there are still geniuses like Nawaki Senju who emerge.
The plan to divide up the Land of Fire's territory needs to be rethought."
His eyes were filled with reluctance as he finally slowly landed on the roof of the Tsuchikage Building.
"Lord Tsuchikage, many Jōnin are already waiting." The ANBU instantly knelt in front of Ōnoki and asked respectfully.
"Let them disperse and stop targeting the Senju clan." Ōnoki's short body exuded a terrifying aura, which he restrained when he finished speaking.
"Yes!" The ANBU nodded respectfully and turned into a shadow and left.
The previously held Jōnin meeting was decided by his words.
Ōnoki's status in Iwagakure is supreme because he masters the three types of chakra and the fusion of them to form Jinton: Genkai Hakuri no Jutsu.
It is because of this that he knows the horror of Mokuton.
He was someone who had seen Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju with his own eyes, and had once followed the first Tsuchikage to Konohagakure.
He has witnessed the power of Mokuton and the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Madara Uchiha's look scared him so much that he was terrified.
At that time, Mokuton and Sharingan represented the pinnacle of the ninja world.
It was originally thought that even if Mokuton appeared again, it would not be able to reach the same level as Hashirama Senju, just like the incomplete Sharingan of the Uchiha family.
I didn't expect Nawaki Senju to speak with facts and achievements.
Kill the only remaining second-generation ninja in the ninja world and let the reputation of Mokuton spread again in the ninja world.
All actions against the Senju clan are suspended.
Ōnoki looked up again, looking towards the direction of Konohagakure, with a determined look in his eyes.
"We must not let the Senju clan return to Konohagakure, otherwise the entire ninja world will crawl at the feet of Konohagakure again." He made the decision in his heart, and the scene of Konohagakure just being built appeared in his mind.
If Hashirama Senju had not died and Madara Uchiha had not left Konohagakure, the number of countries in the entire ninja world would have been reduced by half.
The territory of the Land of Fire will expand again.
Those two people brought great pressure to the ninja world.
All forces paid tribute to Konohagakure, and no country dared to resist.
It is because of the problems within Konohagakure that the current situation of the Five Great Shinobi Villages coexisting has been formed.
He must find a way to weaken Konoha's strength.
The best effect would be the fall of Nawaki Senju, but this is too difficult, so we can only start from other aspects.
