Chapter 90: Return to Support Konoha? That Is Definitely Impossible
Defeating the Tailed Beasts once again, Aoyama Ryūun returned to the camp amidst the cheers and worshipful gazes of the Konoha ninjas.
"Lord Ryūun is so amazing!"
"With this Lord here, we can definitely win!"
"Of course, Lord Ryūun is invincible!"
Unlike in Konoha Village, in this camp, Aoyama Ryūun was simply a god in everyone's hearts.
It was as if as long as Aoyama Ryūun was there, there would be no danger they couldn't handle.
Aoyama Ryūun was obviously used to these discussions, so he didn't express anything. He carried his Kanabo and walked back into the conference room, sitting grandly in the main seat.
"Say, are those Kumogakure muscleheads crazy? They know they can't win, yet they still want to fight?"
He had experienced sneak attacks like today's quite a few times.
With Aoyama Ryūun's Kenbunshoku Haki, Kumogakure couldn't possibly succeed.
They got beaten every time, yet they persevered.
Those who didn't know better would think Kumogakure idiots liked being beaten.
"I think there might be another reason!"
At this time, Nara Shikaku, who had been silent, spoke thoughtfully. He seemed to have made a connection.
"Hmm?"
Aoyama Ryūun turned his head to look at Nara Shikaku.
"According to some intelligence, before Kirigakure declared war on Konoha, Kumogakure had contacted Kirigakure!"
Although one couldn't say Kirigakure declared war on Konoha because Kumogakure instigated it, it was pretty close.
Aoyama Ryūun didn't doubt the Nara Clan's intelligence capabilities.
"Then shouldn't we thank Kumogakure?"
After all, if not for this, Aoyama Ryūun wouldn't see the day the Konoha F4 had to go to the battlefield.
"..."
This sigh made Hatake Sakumo and Nara Shikaku roll their eyes in unison.
As Konoha ninjas, was it really okay to say such things now?
"Ahem! Continue!"
Noticing their gazes, Aoyama Ryūun decisively cleared his throat and waved his hand to change the subject.
As long as I'm not embarrassed, the embarrassment belongs to others.
Nara Shikaku was obviously used to Aoyama Ryūun's sometimes carefree remarks, so he wasn't too surprised.
"According to my analysis, those Kumogakure people are probably afraid that we will return to support Konoha, so they start a war with us from time to time!"
With Nara Shikaku's resourcefulness, it was easy to analyze the reason why that bunch from Kumogakure did such things.
It looked meaningless, but it was very possible.
"In this Ninja World War, only our Kumogakure battlefield has the advantage, and is also the most capable of returning to support Konoha!"
"That is definitely impossible!"
Aoyama Ryūun answered decisively.
Are you kidding? Return to support Konoha?
Unless Sarutobi Hiruzen gets beaten to death.
"..."
Nara Shikaku directly ignored Aoyama Ryūun's words and continued, "This is also why Kumogakure attacks from time to time; they are worried that you will return to support Konoha!"
After all, those muscleheads didn't know about the conflict between Aoyama Ryūun and Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Is that so!"
After hearing Nara Shikaku's analysis, Aoyama Ryūun was a little surprised.
"Do those muscleheads have this kind of IQ?"
"..."
It's as if everyone other than you thinks Kumogakure people are retarded idiots.
Nara Shikaku knew a bit about Kumogakure's two advisors, Mabui and Samui.
Although they couldn't compare to him, they were not bad.
It was really hard to imagine that a place that produced so many muscleheads could give birth to such intelligent ninjas.
"Lord Ryūun, what should we do now?"
Analysis complete, naturally, he had to ask Aoyama Ryūun for instructions on the next steps.
"Do whatever needs to be done!"
Aoyama Ryūun waved his hand, his face full of indifference.
However, Nara Shikaku took out a message scroll from Konoha.
"However, an order came from Lord Hokage asking when we can end the Kumogakure battlefield. Ideally, it should be soon, and then return to support Konoha!"
Aoyama Ryūun could beat two Kumogakure Tailed Beasts alone.
Looking at his relaxed appearance, no matter how one looked at it, he could defeat Kumogakure in a short time, right?
"Uh!"
Aoyama Ryūun was silent for a while, then said with a serious face:
"Reply to the old Hokage. Tell him I need two years to defeat Kumogakure!"
"Two... two years?"
Not only Nara Shikaku but even Hatake Sakumo was shocked.
In two years, this Ninja World War might be almost over.
"Is there a problem? After all, this Kumogakure is very strong!"
Aoyama Ryūun spoke in a nonchalant tone.
He didn't think there was any problem with the time given.
"Alright then!"
Nara Shikaku could see that this Lord Strongest Creature had absolutely no intention of returning to support Konoha.
Two years... In fact, even if the time came, Aoyama Ryūun probably wouldn't return to support Konoha.
Unless the Konoha F4 were wiped out.
"Alright, alright! Go do your work!"
Waving his hand nonchalantly, Aoyama Ryūun didn't care at all if Sarutobi Hiruzen would jump in anger after getting the reply.
"Tell the ninjas responsible for patrolling to be more serious. Don't actually get sneak-attacked by Kumogakure!"
Of course, Aoyama Ryūun could beat that bunch of Kumogakure muscleheads back to their home in a short time.
But there was no need.
If not for that group of Kumogakure people, Aoyama Ryūun would have no reason not to return to support Konoha.
Nara Shikaku and Hatake Sakumo looked at each other, shrugged first, then responded in unison.
"Yes!"
...
On the other side, Sarutobi Hiruzen, leading one thousand ninjas and the entire Uchiha clan to fight Kirigakure, also received the reply from the Kumogakure battlefield.
In the temporarily built conference room, listening to the news brought back by the Anbu in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
"Are you sure that was Aoyama Ryūun's reply?"
