Chapter 262 The declaration of war has been issued, and the decisive battle is about to begin!
"Brother Haneda! Are you finally going to spread the art of Buddha's Light? Hmm!"
Deidara, who was hiding upstairs, jumped out of the window and came in front of Haneda.
"Take me with you, Brother Haneda! I really, really want to see Brother Haneda's art of Buddha's Light again! Hmm!"
Itachi said, "War is no joke, nor is it an art."
Deidara heard a familiar voice and said disdainfully, "Why is there your expressionless face again?"
Itachi opened his Sharingan and just took a look at Deidara, and Deidara immediately stayed where he was, unable to move.
"This is just a simple illusion, it will be gone in a while."
Itachi turned to ask Haneda:
"Let's go straight away, or should we take some more ANBU with us?"
Noticing Xiaodi's pitiful and expectant look, Haneda said:
"Just bring Xiaodi with you."
Haneda helped Xiaodi break the illusion, and Deidara raised his hands and said happily:
"Yeah, I can witness Brother Haneda's art again! Yeah!"
Before Deidara could react, Haneda touched his body and in the blink of an eye he was teleported to the Frost Kingdom battlefield.
Jiraiya saw Haneda and his two companions suddenly appear and rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating.
He remembered that Haneda had learned Minato's Flying Thunder God, and couldn't help but mutter:
"Just like Minato, flashing back and forth..."
Shisui saw Haneda coming in and realized something:
"Hokage-sama, are you prepared to do it yourself?"
Haneda nodded slightly: "I am ready to end the war within three days."
"Once Shikaku finishes writing the declaration of war, send it to Kumogakure."
"Let them prepare food and drink to welcome the king's army."
Jiraiya smiled and said, "Three days? Kumogakure is not that simple. They still have at least 10,000 ninjas."
"With a strongest Raikage and two perfect Jinchūriki, we have to fight for at least a while to force them to stop fighting."
"These three are not that old fellow Ōnoki."
Jiraiya had fought against the Fourth Raikage many times, and he could feel how difficult it was to deal with him.
The speed brought by its Lightning Release Chakra Mode is enough to make it difficult for Jiraiya to deal with.
If it weren't for Shisui's Susanoo, Jiraiya would have had no choice but to activate Sage Mode.
Use powerful perception to deal with the speed of the Fourth Raikage.
Haneda smiled and said, "Then let's see it for ourselves, and let the ninja world recognize my heyday."
The declaration of war arranged by Shikaku was quickly delivered by Kakashi.
Without even a second thought, Haneda arranged for the Root Ninja to deliver this extremely provocative declaration of war.
With the Fourth Raikage's temper, sending this letter is no different from committing suicide.
…………
At night, at the Hidden Cloud Base Camp.
When the Fourth Raikage was handling government affairs, Killer Bee walked in while singing and dancing rap:
"Brother, Konoha sent an Anbu ninja to deliver a challenge, Bakayaka, Kurugaru~"
Hearing the words ANBU and challenge, the Fourth Raikage asked, "Could it be that Uchiha Haneda has arrived?"
"I don't know, brother."
The Fourth Raikage looked at his brother who knew nothing about anything, shook his head secretly, and ordered:
"Bring people in."
The guards inside the tent heard the order and welcomed in the Root ninja sent by Haneda.
The Root Ninja handed over the letter of challenge, used a kunai to deal with the guards beside him, and rushed towards the Fourth Raikage.
"Protect the Raikage-sama!!"
"No need." The Fourth Raikage smashed the mask of the Root Ninja, then grabbed his neck and asked,
"Uchiha Haneda sent you?"
The Root Ninja had a blank expression on his face, not showing a trace of fear:
"Hokage-sama knows you will kill me after reading the challenge, so why not let me do it to you."
The Fourth Raikage slammed the Root ninja to the ground, "Press him down and interrogate him for information."
Killer Bee looked at the still expressionless Konoha ninja and sang and danced rap:
"Yeah, it seems that it's not the Anbu, but the Root Ninja, Bakayagaru, Kurugaru~"
As soon as Killer Bee finished speaking, the Root Ninja walked out of the tent.
Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded outside the tent.
Blood and flesh splattered on the tent, staining it blood red.
The Fourth Raikage slammed the table angrily, and it broke instantly.
"Uchiha Haneda, you are going too far!"
After saying this, the Fourth Raikage strode towards the body of the Cloud Ninja who was killed by the Root Ninja.
He picked up the letter of challenge and glanced at it.
The declaration of war does not contain many words, only naked arrogance and provocation!
Especially the last sentence:
Either surrender or prepare your own hemp rope and be captured!
The Fourth Raikage smashed the letter of challenge to pieces, and he was just about to ask where the Konoha ninja who sent the letter of challenge was.
But when he saw the tent door stained with blood and flesh, he became even more angry:
"Arrogant! Do you really think that Kumogakure is as weak and incompetent as Iwagakure?"
"Bi! Go back to the village and call Yukito, and prepare for the decisive battle with Konoha in two days!"
"I want to see why Uchiha Haneda dares to be so arrogant!!"
Kirabi rarely saw his elder brother so angry, he even stopped singing and dancing rap, and said seriously:
"OK, big brother!"
…………
Two days later, in the Hochi Mountains, the ninja armies of Konoha and Kumogakure were stationed on the north and south sides of the mountains.
This was once the battlefield of the Third Ninja World War, where the outcome of the battle between Konoha and Kumogakure was decided.
This is also where Haneda captured Kirabi again during the Third War.
On the night when the declaration of war was issued, Konoha announced to the entire ninja world that the fifth Hokage, the new God of the Ninja World, Uchiha Haneda was preparing to personally lead an expedition to Kumogakure.
He announced publicly that the Fifth Hokage would end the war within three days.
Now, as expected, the decisive battle has begun.
The Fourth Raikage was enraged by Haneda's behavior and mobilized 70% of the Hidden Cloud Ninjas.
To the north of the Hochi Mountains, tens of thousands of Cloud Ninjas were on high alert, awaiting the orders of the Fourth Raikage.
South of the Hochi Mountains, there are only three thousand Konoha ninjas ready for a decisive battle with Kumogakure.
Whether you understand military affairs or not, everyone knows this very clearly.
Judging from the numbers alone, Yunyin’s winning rate is extremely high.
But with Uchiha Haneda, everything becomes confusing.
A scouting ninja sent intel from the Fourth Raikage's location:
"Lord Raikage, we only found about three thousand Konoha ninjas on the other side of the Hochi Mountains!"
"Three thousand ninjas? Uchiha Haneda is such an arrogant guy!" said the Fourth Raikage disdainfully.
But there are some jonin from Kumogakure who are very worried:
"Lord Raikage, but Uchiha Haneda dared to kill the Third Tsuchikage alone in front of thousands of Iwagakure."
A Kumo nin echoed, "Yes, Raikage-sama, Uchiha Haneda is called the God of the Ninja World by Iwagakure."
Seeing that everyone around him was worried about the decisive battle, the Fourth Raikage snorted coldly and said confidently:
"I don't understand why everyone is talking about the God of Ninja World and this matter of Ohnoki."
"It seems that the decisive battle in the Hodge Mountains is destined to be disastrous for us."
"Seven years ago, our Kumogakure and Konoha were fighting fiercely, and the Third Raikage was pressing Konoha step by step."
"That state of vitality and all things competing is still before our eyes."
"No matter what, the number of troops in the battle is 12,000 to 3,000. The advantage is on my side!"
Hearing the confident words of the Fourth Raikage, the surrounding Cloud Ninjas suddenly became excited.
No matter how strong Uchiha Haneda is, 12,000 Kumo Ninjas versus 3,000 Konoha Ninjas, the advantage is mine!!
Kumogakure can't lose!!!
