Chapter 371 Tough

"Raikage-sama! You're awake~"

In the Kumo ninja camp, Raikage, who had been unconscious for a day and night, opened his eyes.

"Where's the platform?"

"And what's the situation outside now?"

As soon as he woke up, Raikage did not ask about his injuries, but asked Nozomi next to him.

"Senior Tudai is arranging the defense of the camp... As for the current situation~"

Speaking of the current situation, Xi was a little confused and didn't know how to speak.

"What's wrong? Is Konoha attacking?"

"It shouldn't be! Hasn't the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha always advocated some empty words like 'The Will of Fire'?"

"And this time, they can allow us to retreat safely, and they probably have no intention of expanding the war."

"No, no, it's very peaceful over there in Konoha."

Hearing the Raikage mentioning Konoha, Xi repeatedly shook his head in denial, and his expression became even more frightened.

"Is it that old guy Onoki?"

Seeing Nozomi's expression, Raikage first thought that it was Iwagakure who was taking advantage of his injury, but he quickly denied this idea.

Nozomi's expression said it all.

"Could it be...the restless guys in the village?"

Seeing Nozomi nodding like she was pounding garlic, even though she was as determined as Raikage, she felt like she had a headache.

When he thought about how he was injured and unconscious, and the news of the Eight-Tails' capture had spread back to the village, and the possible reactions of his men, he felt a huge shock.

Kumo Ninja worships strong men very much. After the news about him being injured and comatose and the Eight-Tails being captured were known to the martial arts faction in the village, it didn't take much to think about it. It was already a mess.

Those who wanted revenge directly went to war with Konoha, and some felt that they were not strong enough and tried to stir up trouble.

It is estimated that all kinds of monsters and monsters will jump out.

"Take me to Tutai!"

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but lift up the blanket on his body, got up and walked outside.

"Raikage-sama...your body needs a good rest now!"

Seeing the Raikage going out, Nozomi quickly followed him and tried hard to persuade him beside the Raikage.

"Xi, I'm fine!"

After explaining casually, Raikage strode toward the center of the camp.

He couldn't show any weakness now, Kumo Ninja didn't need a weak Raikage.

Konoha Hokage Building.

"Hokage-sama, the Kumo ninja are already at a clear disadvantage. How can they still have the nerve to make such excessive demands?"

Hinata Hizashi, who always had a rigid and polite expression, could no longer maintain the demeanor of his Hyuga family. He looked at the Sandaime Hokage at the head and began to question.

"We, the ninja family, have sacrificed our lives and blood to protect the village, but if something like this happens, shouldn't the village stand up for us?"

News originally came from the front line that the Raikage was defeated by Uchiha Toshiro, and even the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki had fallen into the hands of Konoha.

Hinata Hizashi thought that with such a bargaining chip, Kumo Ninja would give in no matter what, and Hizashi would never die on his behalf.

But reality slapped him hard.

Although the Yun Ninjas suffered a certain blow, their arrogance became even more arrogant, and their demands for peace talks did not change at all.

Still asking them Konoha to hand over the murderer.

"Hyuuga Clan Leader, please don't get excited. Aren't we discussing countermeasures?"

After receiving the signal from his teammates, Mito Kadoyan quickly spoke to comfort him.

"None of this has been finalized yet. Besides, it's all for the peace and stability of Konoha!"

Not to mention Hinata and Hizu, even the top brass of Konoha were stunned by what Kumo Ninja did.

For those who didn’t know, I thought it was Konoha that lost its tailed beast now!

"The sun is full, please be patient!"

The Sandaime Hokage also had a headache. As a Hokage, he and Hizu were at different heights and had different perspectives.

Although his side had the advantage on the battlefield, he still had some understanding of the situation of the Cloud Ninjas.

The more times like this, the more Yun Ninja will not give in.

Only by gaining a certain advantage at the negotiating table can the Fourth Raikage be able to appease the restless people in his village.

But with this, the pressure came to their Konoha side.

"I feel... there is nothing to discuss with Kumo Ninja. Now that the Eight-Tails has been captured, the camp also has an advantage."

"We might as well go to war with them!"

Although Danzo usually has a lot of petty thoughts and can be called selfish, but after being so provoked by Kumo Ninja, he jumped out again.

"In my opinion, Shikaku and the others should not have let Raikage go last time."

"With the Raikage in hand, the Cloud Ninjas won't be able to let us crush him when the time comes!"

The last time he directly proposed to launch a war did not get Hiruzen's consent. Now that the situation is favorable to their Konoha side, Danzo plans to try it.

However, this time he was not as straightforward as last time. Instead, he started the conversation first, wanting to see the reaction of these Konoha families and jounin first.

"yes!"

"Yun Ren is really ungrateful this time!"

"In my opinion, we should teach those Kumo ninjas a lesson this time! If we don't let them know how powerful we are in Konoha, they won't be honest!"

As soon as Danzo finished speaking, the upper echelons of Konoha who participated in the meeting started talking in the entire conference room.

The last time they faced the threat from the Kumo ninja, all of them were still a little timid, and they all wanted to settle the matter.

But after Toshiro captured the two-tailed and eight-tailed jinchūriki, they felt that the Kumo ninja was not so scary anymore.

One after another began to express their different opinions.

'it works! ’

Seeing the results that were completely different from the last time he proposed a war with Kumo Ninja, only a handful of people responded. Danzo Shimura despised these guys who acted according to the circumstances.

Just about to speak again and continue to advocate his own ideas, the Sandaime Hokage spoke at this time.

“I’m also very pleased with everyone’s current attitude!”

"It's just that after all, the village has just escaped from a large-scale war not long ago. Every family is in the recovery period. The new children in the clan are not even old enough to go to ninja school. It's better not to start a war easily. !”

After taking a puff of cigarette, the Sandaime continued:

"Furthermore, everyone knows the geographical location of Konoha. Once we have a full-scale conflict with the Kumo ninjas."

"Neither the Mist Ninja nor the Iwa Ninja will sit idly by and ignore it!"

This is one of the reasons why he has been adhering to the concept of peace over the years.

The geographical location of the Fire Country means that we either don't want to fight it, or we have to fight it with all the major countries one by one.
