Chapter 272 The Compromise of the Raikage

In the war room of the Land of Lightning, important officials from the three countries gathered here, especially the ninjas who were good at formulating strategies and tactics. At this time, the ninjas who had been sent out before finally came back. As soon as he saw him, the Raikage asked hurriedly: "Have you seen the Hokage? How is the situation? Is the Hokage willing to send reinforcements?" The Cloud Hidden Village hurriedly said: "Lord Raikage, the Hokage is willing to support us. This is the letter she brought." Then he took out the previous scroll and handed it to the Raikage.

The Mizukage heaved a sigh of relief and said, "If Konoha is willing to send reinforcements, it will be good news for us anyway. The Tsuchikage also said, "With Konoha's reinforcements, the situation may be much better. The ninjas over there are very powerful. The Impure World Reincarnation was also developed by the Second Hokage, and Konoha should have a more suitable way to deal with it."

Who knew that while the Tsuchikage was speaking, the Raikage suddenly smashed the table in front of him with one punch. At the same time, he threw the scroll in his hand to the ground and shouted, "The Hokage and the Wind Shadow are really too much. They actually made such an unreasonable request. They want us to obey their orders completely. What a joke! How can we give them the command here, let alone command me!"

Sackboy picked up the scroll that Raikage had dropped on the ground, looked at it carefully and said, "The Hokage has her reasons for saying so. After all, we did go a little too far in the previous Shadowless Talks. As for the request made by the Hokage, it was also based on the considerations of the Land of Fire, which was also expected." Sackboy handed the scroll to the Mizukage. After the Mizukage read it, he handed it to the Tsuchikage.

After learning the contents of the scroll, the Tsuchikage said, "We can't do anything. Even if the three of us join forces, our strength is still far from enough. In the previous Ninja World War, we have already lost too much combat power. Now, even if Konoha has such a request, we have no other choice. We can only try to avoid casualties on our side and reduce losses. Other things can only be considered later."

The Mizukage said, "I agree with the Tsuchikage's point of view, and the request made by Konoha is not too excessive. Judging from the current situation, the threat of Akatsuki is much greater than that of Konoha. It is very magnanimous of the Hokage to send troops to reinforce." Both the Tsuchikage and the Mizukage said so. Although the Raikage was gritting his teeth, he could only reluctantly agree in the end.

After some discussion, the two sides finally reached an agreement. Konoha will take the lead and launch an attack on Akatsuki. Before defeating Akatsuki, the ninjas on the Raikage's side must obey Konoha's unified command. However, the Raikage still made a request that the appointment of the coalition forces on the side of the Land of Lightning must go through the Raikage. Konoha can appoint the Raikage, but cannot directly appoint the troops here. To put it bluntly, Konoha cannot seize the command of their troops.

After much discussion, Naruto also suggested that Tsunade agree to their request. In fact, in Naruto's opinion, it is difficult for the people on the Raikage's side to completely obey Tsunade's command. The reason for unified leadership is just to prevent them from causing trouble. After all this was negotiated, Konoha prepared a large amount of supplies, shuriken medicines, etc. The medical team was also ready under Tsunade's arrangement. Compared with other ninja villages, Konoha's ninja system is more advanced. Now with the participation of Sand Ninja and Iron Country, it is even more so.

Now, the Ninja World War is about to begin, and even ninjas of Naruto's age must join the battlefield. As a medical ninja, Sakura doesn't have to go to the front line. Even if she wants to go, with Tsunade's guidance, she is basically capable of doing it. And what Naruto is most worried about is Hinata, who is too kind.

Before the war officially started, Naruto came to Hinata's house to find Hinata. Hiashi was already very familiar with Naruto, and now Naruto became a daimyo. When he saw Naruto, Hiashi greeted him and said, "Daimyo, it is my honor to have you here. If you don't mind, please sit down." Naruto quickly interrupted him and said, "Hiashi, sir, there is no need to do this. Even if I become a daimyo, you are still a senior. Just call me Naruto as before."

Hiashi said: "That's not okay, according to the rules of the Land of Fire." Naruto said: "According to the rules of the Land of Fire, you must also respect the orders of me as the Daimyo. From now on, just call me Naruto as before." Hiashi said helplessly: "Got it, Naruto." Then, the two smiled at each other. Speaking of which, Naruto really didn't dare to let Hiashi call him Daimyo every day.

In order to avoid the embarrassment that follows, Naruto said, "Master Hiashi, I came here this time mainly to talk to Hinata about something." Hiashi nodded. Basically, every time Naruto came, he came to look for Hinata. At this time, Hinata had actually hidden behind the door. Hiashi turned around and said to the inside of the house, "Hinata, Naruto came to talk to you about something, remember to come back early."

Hinata heard Hiashi calling her, and came out from behind the door shyly and said, "Yes, um... Naruto, what's the matter?" Naruto stood up and said, "Let's go to Konoha's training ground first. It's a bit inconvenient here." Hinata said, "Training ground? If we go there, what exactly is it..." Naruto said, "You'll know when we get there, let's go together." Hinata was always a little flustered, and immediately followed Naruto's pace, and the two went to the training ground together.

Arriving here, Naruto created a shadow clone and said, "Hinata, first use the method you are best at to see if you can defeat my clone." Hinata thought to herself, "Naruto called me out for training? I didn't expect Naruto to care so much about my strength. In this case, I must not let Naruto down. Although Naruto is much stronger than me, if it is just a clone, there should be no problem."

Then, Hinata opened her Byakugan and attacked Naruto with Bagua Palm. "Bagua Thirty-two Palms", Hinata waved her hands quickly and attacked Naruto with footwork, but Naruto's clones could easily dodge. "Bagua Sixty-four Palms", Hinata increased her speed and changed her attack method. Unfortunately, with Naruto's current strength, he couldn't even touch his clothes.

Finally, Hinata also took out the moves she had just developed. "Soft Step Twin Lion Fist" Hinata's hands condensed a large amount of chakra, and each attack was much stronger than the ordinary soft fist. Moreover, Hinata could already perform soft fists in this state, and the attack speed was constantly increasing. Even Naruto could not completely rely on speed to dodge, and his clone began to produce lightning chakra.

Even with the powerful chakra protection, Naruto would still be affected to some extent every time he was attacked by Hinata.
