"Bastard, why does the secret technique of the Hidden Cloud appear on a Konoha Ninja? Who on earth leaked it!"
The Third Generation Raikage angrily asked after receiving reports from his subordinates. Although he wasn't furious enough to smash the table in the room, his anger could still shock those around him.
"The Anbu have already been sent to investigate all the Jonin who know the Lightning Release Chakra Mode. We believe we'll have results soon."
After speaking, the Raikage Assistant brought over a cup of tea and placed it on the table, "Please have some tea."
In the Hidden Cloud Village, not many Hidden Cloud Ninja know the Lightning Release Chakra Mode. This Ninjutsu is not only difficult to cultivate but also requires loyalty; since it was a secret technique created by the Second Generation Raikage, it was well-known throughout the Ninja World during the reign of both the Second and Third Generation Raikage.
Having trained in this Nin-Taijutsu, one could basically compete for the position of Raikage, provided they were stronger than the Third Generation Raikage's son.
Not long after, the Anbu from the Hidden Cloud returned with news. The Jonin Ossai had already confessed, admitting he lost a Cultivation Scroll for the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
However, he couldn't remember when he lost it, but Ossai Jonin had some impression of that Uchiha Yoichi from Konoha, recalling an encounter with a Konoha Squad about half a year ago while on an S-Class Task.
"So, was it during that time Ossai lost the Lightning Release Chakra Mode?"
"Unclear, but it should have been at that time, Lord Raikage. We asked the two Jonin squads involved in the mission back then, and none could recall the event."
"Can't remember? Was it an Illusion Technique?"
"Not clear, but inducing Illusions on those two squads would be a difficult task, and if it was an Illusion, apart from losing a Ninjutsu Scroll, Ossai Jonin didn't suffer any other losses, although the mission later failed."
Upon hearing the Anbu's investigation results, everyone in the Raikage's office fell into silent contemplation and puzzlement.
It was highly probable that the Lightning Release Chakra Mode was lost by Ossai, but definitely a result of enemy design.
Future Fourth Generation Raikage couldn't comprehend those convoluted matters and loudly said, "Father, directly inform Konoha, have them hand over the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and then go kill the Uchiha Ninja who perfected it."
The Third Generation Raikage spoke gravely, "Do you realize how many people from Konoha practice our Ninja Village's secret technique? What's the use of taking it back now!"
"No matter how many of them have trained, they are all our enemies. Once we discover them, we won't relent, not even sparing the Third Generation Hokage!"
A loudly said, "Just scare them, make the Konoha Ninja aware that training in the Cloud Ninja's Hiden Nin-Taijutsu means death, they naturally won't dare to train!"
That's truly simple and crude...
However, the Third Generation Raikage felt this was a good strategy, and said to his son, "Okay, I approve. Saida, you go inform Konoha, follow what A said earlier; A, you and Ossai team up, first eliminate the Uchiha Ninja who has trained."
"Let them know, the Hidden Cloud isn't to be trifled with!"
"Yes, father!" (Lord Raikage)
Having received the orders, the Hidden Cloud Village began mobilizing.
In terms of military power, the Hidden Cloud Village undoubtedly stands as the top among the Five Great Ninja Villages. If we eliminate other villages' threats, head-to-head against two Ninja Villages, only the Hidden Rock Village can barely match the Hidden Cloud Village at 4.5 versus 5.5.
But the Hidden Cloud doesn't have a good reputation. Their village is almost completely controlled by the Martial Arts Faction. Back in the day, the Second Generation Raikage was considered half a Peace Faction, but that was only after losing to the Second Generation Hokage in war did they negotiate.
During the negotiations, the Second Generation Raikage was killed by the Peace Faction within the village.
Pillaging secret techniques, village destruction and plunder, these are old traditions of the Hidden Cloud Village. Anything beneficial to them, if there's interest they'll snatch it; also, although not explicitly proven, the fall of the Land of Whirlpools may bear relation to the Hidden Cloud.
At that time, other than Konoha, each Ninja Village's Seal Jutsu for Tailed Beasts was very crude.
But after some time, the Hidden Cloud Village suddenly mastered the Perfect Jinchuriki training method, inevitably causing speculation.
Their domineering nature, even if the Third Generation Raikage knew those bringing him information harbored ill-will, he was too lazy to ponder.
Anyone who dares challenge them, they'll strike even to death; that's the mindset of the Third Generation Raikage.

"Finally, I can speak!"
Uchiha Yoichi removed the metal mask. Over nearly a month, the urge to speak his heart out made his jaw almost break through the metal mask.
"Let's move, Kakashi!"
Upon hearing this, Kakashi glanced lazily at Uchiha Yoichi with dead fish eyes and asked, "Captain, did your throat suddenly heal?"
Uchiha Yoichi waved his hand and said, "That's not important, Kakashi. By staying with me, you'll gain a lot. Hope you don't quit when you can't endure!"
"I'll do my best, Captain."
Then, the two continued on their journey.
The first mission goal is in the Land of Grass; it will take them a day to reach there.
During the journey, Uchiha Yoichi carefully studied his new ability.
Capable of randomly summoning an Exotic Beast, some strong, some weak, and there's also a chance to tame them; but according to the description, if he summons one capable of world-ending destruction, forget taming, he himself might be finished.
If a weak one is summoned, taming it won't have much use, so it might just be a matter of seeing if the Exotic Beast tastes good.
For taming Exotic Beasts, Uchiha Yoichi considered the Contract Jutsu of the Ninja World, as it seemed more convenient.
Aside from the Contract Jutsu, he couldn't possibly use chains to forcibly tame it.
"Kakashi, where can I buy a Summoning Scroll? Does the Ninja Tool Store in Konoha sell them?"
Upon hearing this, Kakashi rolled his eyes and replied helplessly, "These are made by ninjas themselves, unless the store owner specifically makes them. However, if wanting to tame Summoned Beasts, making it yourself is more advisable."
"Then that means learning the Contract Jutsu too?"
"Exactly."
"Do you know it?"
Kakashi nodded, "If you want to learn, it's best to prepare a Scroll first. While the Summoning Scroll itself isn't tough, taming the Summoned Beast is."
The Contract Jutsu isn't difficult; although akin to the Summoning Jutsu, regarded as C-Class Ninjutsu, any Genin who studies diligently can learn it.
When refreshing abilities, Uchiha Yoichi had already left Konoha, otherwise, he could consult the Second Elder and learn this Jutsu.
Good thing Kakashi knows it too. He's already crafted one and contracted the Ninja Dog kept at home; while not great in battle, it's comparable to the Ninja Dogs of the Inuzuka Clan in tracking.
After reaching the Land of Grass, Uchiha Yoichi requested Kakashi to teach him the Contract Jutsu before proceeding with their task.
He's accustomed to having preparations done first, so he's not stressed when needed.
