Chapter 287 All countries unite to attack Konoha, the tough Third Hokage?

Konoha Hospital - VIP Ward.

The day after Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to Konoha from the Rain Country.

"Is Uchiha Ryuun dead or alive? Is there any news from the Four Kingdoms?"

This was the Mth time Sarutobi Hiruzen asked this. Although he was still very tired, he couldn't fall asleep even after closing his eyes.

From yesterday until now, he has not received any information about the results of the battle, and this situation makes him feel uneasy.

"I'm not sure. Shikoku hasn't responded to any news yet..." Mitomon Yan reported truthfully.

"It seems... the Four Kage must have been defeated, but I wonder how that bad boy is doing now..." Sarutobi Hiruzen whispered with a serious expression.

"How is that possible! With the five of you joining forces, even if you leave early... the remaining four Kages won't lose..."

Mizutomon En's face was full of disbelief.

"The Five Kage have joined forces! The highest fighting force in the ninja world! How could they lose!!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head and remained silent after hearing this. After a long while, he sighed with emotion:

"That guy is Uchiha Liuyun, who can 'kill gods and kill shadows'. I am not surprised at all that the Four Shadows were defeated... Even if I hadn't withdrawn midway, I'm afraid this battle would still be disastrous..."

"How can it be……"

"Don't be so quick to refute..." Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his hand to suppress Mito Kado En's voice.

"If they had won that battle, the entire ninja world would have received news of Uchiha Ryuun's execution... The only reason there is no news now is that they were defeated..."

"The five Kage were defeated miserably for the first time they united. They dare not let this news leak out. Otherwise, all ninjas will fall into panic because of Uchiha Ryuun. The five Kage and even the five daimyos will probably be in big trouble."

The Five Kage cannot lose. If they lose, it means they are incompetent. It will not be so easy to suppress ambitious subordinates in the village in the future, such as Danzo Shimura of Konoha.

The proposal of the Five Kage to unite and suppress Uchiha Ryuun was first initiated by the Daimyo of the Land of Water, and then the Daimyo of the Five Lands jointly issued a decree. Now that the Five Kage have suffered a terrible defeat, these Daimyo may not even be able to sleep peacefully in the future...

Sarutobi Hiruzen could fully understand the other Kage's practice of blocking the news, because even he would do the same. What he cared about most now was... how many Kage died in this battle!

Sarutobi Hiruzen spent the day in anxiety and restlessness. It was not until the third night that Sarutobi Hiruzen finally received a call request from the four major countries.

In Konoha's confidential communications room.

The shadows of the five daimyos and the five major ninja villages all appeared on the screen. Seeing this scene, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a sinking feeling in his heart, and then he became extremely alert.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am the newly appointed Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village - Karatachi Yagura. From now on, I will represent the Land of Water in conducting diplomatic contacts with my colleagues. Thank you for your guidance."

Looking at the child-like Fourth Mizukage, the daimyo of Fire, Earth, Wind, and Lightning all showed surprise on their faces, while the other four Kages nodded at him as usual, obviously they had known of this person's existence for a long time.

There is a person who is qualified to become a 'Kage', and it is impossible that each village does not have information about this person. The Fourth Mizukage looks like just a child, but his actual age is probably several years older than the Fourth Raikage.

Judging strength by appearance is a very foolish thing in the ninja world. You know, the young man who defeated the five Kages liked to pretend to be blind...

"You Five Kage have disappointed us. Let's talk about... how to deal with Uchiha Ryuun next."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the communication room was dull and no one spoke, the Daimyo of the Water Country could not help but ask the question first.

"We were defeated this time because we underestimated the opponent's true combat power. Uchiha Liuyun's strength has surpassed the level of 'shadow'. The five of us alone are definitely not his opponents..."

The Third Tsuchikage took the initiative to step forward and admit defeat.

"I underestimated the opponent... You guys swore before the battle that you could get rid of Uchiha Ryuun, but now you, Tsuchikage, tell me that you are no match for him???"

The person who said this was actually the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. This man with a feminine appearance and the greatest power was rarely angry.

"Do you know what this phrase 'not a match' means? Can the personal safety of our Daimyo be guaranteed from now on?"

When the daimyos of the four countries heard this, they all nodded in tacit understanding.

"I'm very sorry, Lord Fire Country Daimyo. Although we don't want to admit defeat, the fact is that we can't win. If my Daimyo can find someone who can defeat Uchiha Ryuun, I can abdicate at any time."

The Third Tsuchikage directly confronted the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Upon hearing this, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire looked at the Daimyo of the Land of Earth, only to see the other party shaking his head helplessly. It was obvious that he also had no way to deal with the Third Tsuchikage.

"I need to explain here that in this battle between the Five Kage and Uchiha Ryuun, the Hokage of Konoha was the first to be defeated and the first to leave."

The Third Kazekage did not hide his dissatisfaction with the Third Hokage, and for a moment everyone looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Is the Kazekage blaming me? Or do you think that we in Konoha did this on purpose?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked back with a gloomy face.

"You are a dignified 'Ninja Hero', but you were knocked down by Uchiha Ryuun's mere eye technique. Do you dare to say that there is no trick involved?" The Third Kazekage said aggressively.

"It's just a dojutsu... It's easy to say, but have you ever experienced that kind of mental attack yourself? Ask the Fourth Raikage, once you are hit by that kind of dojutsu, is it up to you to stay conscious?" Sarutobi Hiruzen defended angrily.

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I tell you this. I've been lying down since I came back from the Rain Country. If the people from the Yamanaka Clan hadn't forcibly woken me up, I would still be in a coma."

"You are such a jerk. You keep slandering me because our two countries are at war. You are such a despicable villain. You can't gain an advantage on the battlefield, so you resort to such despicable means as 'throwing mud'..."

"Asshole! I slandered you? If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. Sarutobi Hiruzen, you old man, stop pretending. Everyone knows that you are Uchiha Ryuun's master's master? Why are you pretending in front of us?" The Third Kazekage slammed the table and got angry.

"He is my disciple, so what? Do I need to pretend? I don't want to be an enemy of Uchiha Liuyun, so what? He, Uchiha Liuyun, has never targeted Konoha, why should I fight him to the death?"

Just when everyone thought that the Third Hokage had shown his true colors and was about to attack him, they heard Sarutobi Hiruzen speak angrily again:

"We in the Fire Nation don't want to fight, but you guys forced us to fight. Now that we've been defeated, you're putting all the blame on Konoha. Do you really think our Konoha is easy to bully? It's just a war, right? Come on, we in Konoha will fight you to the end!"
