Konoha's New Third Hokage

Chapter 41 The Village of Hidden Clouds
The Ninja Village established by the Kingdom of Thunder is named after Yunyin, because Yunyin Ninja Village is built between towering peaks, filled with clouds and mists all the year round, and the Ninja Village seems to be hidden in the clouds.This is a place carefully chosen by a generation of Raikage. The terrain is complex and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even elite ninjas find it difficult to sneak into it.

Most of the residents of the Land of Thunder have brown skin, and the same is true for the first generation of Raikage. He is tall and standing at the window, looking down at the village surrounded by clouds and mist.

The first generation of Raikage is called Ai, which is not his original name. In the tradition of the Land of Thunder, the name Ai has a unique meaning, symbolizing number one, leader, etc. As the leader of Yunyin Ninja Village, he is To have such a name.In his heart, this name will be passed down from generation to generation, and every generation of Raikage in the future will be named after Ai.

Since he is the leader of the entire village, Ai naturally has to take on the responsibility of leading the village to prosper. This is the dignity of a leader, and in Ai's view, it is something that cannot be discarded.Therefore, during the five shadow talks, he saw Hashirama bowing his head to other people to beg, and he couldn't help but blame Hashirama, saying that it was not the leader's doing.

If this point is removed, Ai admires this generation of Hokage very much. When the ninja families in other countries are still struggling to survive, it is the first time for Hashirama to unite with other families to discuss cooperation with the country, and then become an important military force in one fell swoop. And has its own independent status.

When the news of the establishment of Konoha Ninja Village reached the Kingdom of Thunder, Ai immediately believed that this was the direction the ninjas of the Kingdom of Thunder should go in the future. Hidden Ninja Village, assisted the daimyo to open up the territory of the Kingdom of Thunder, and gained the same status as Konoha Ninja Village.

Ai admits in his heart that the influence of Zhujian is very far-reaching. The current peace of the mainland is not unrelated to his first action. I don’t know when the title of God of Ninja was crowned on the first generation of Hokage, especially when the first generation of Hokage captured it. Since ancient times, the Tailed Beast that has disrupted the mainland has become more and more well-deserved.

However, apart from reverence, Ai is wary of Konoha Ninja Village. In the final analysis, Konoha Ninja Village still belongs to the enemy country. They have been enemies from the very beginning. The country of thunder is more dangerous.

Fortunately, not long after, Hashirama announced his abdication. After inquiring about the news, it was learned that Hashirama abdicated due to illness. It can be seen that even the god of ninjas cannot escape the law of life, old age, sickness and death.

Although the new second-generation Hokage Tomona is equally powerful, it is far from his elder brother. The danger of Konoha Ninja Village has been greatly reduced, although it is still not to be underestimated, at least compared to when Hashirama was in power. , there is not so much pressure, at that time Ai Du was considering the plan of the four-nation alliance to control the country of fire.

After the first Hokage abdicated, the leaders of other ninja villages happened to die one after another, and Ai was the only one who participated in the Five Kage talks back then, which made him feel a little bit uncertain about fate. We must follow in the footsteps of those people.

Due to its geographical location, the people of the Kingdom of Thunder have always been tough and advocating force. During the unified operations back then, the enemies Ai faced were also very powerful. The hidden injuries caused by years of fighting were countless. At this time, there were no medical ninjas who were good at maintenance. There is no cure for the hidden wounds.

Just look at that generation of Hokage and other leaders who died suddenly, and you can know how much effort their patriarchs have put in for the Ninja Village.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Ai yelled to come in, and then a big brown-skinned man walked in from the door. His name was Da, and he was the guard who followed Ai all the year round. , with a delicate mind, is the most trusted person around Ai.

Ai has decided in his heart that after his death in the future, Da Lai will be the second head of Yunyin Ninja Village. He believes that Da Lai can lead the village to a better direction.

"Da, what's the matter?" Ai asked.

"Lord Raikage, just got the news from the capital that the daimyo has rejected our request and asked us to immediately prepare a plan to attack the Nation of Fire." Da said, "The daimyo hopes that before the status of the new king of the Nation of Fire is stabilized, , and launched an attack on the opponent, forcing the Nation of Fire to cede part of the land."

Ai knew that the Kingdom of Fire had recently changed a monarch, and he had a premonition that the daimyo might do something, but he didn't expect that the other party would directly attack the kingdom of fire. He felt that it was not the time, so he asked daimyo to postpone it. However, daimyo It was a flat refusal and asked them to formulate an action plan immediately.

Seeing Ai frowned, Da went on to say: "The Jinjiao Yinjiao brothers also know about this matter. They told me that they firmly support the daimyo's resolution and will take the initiative to bring it up in the next meeting. Lei Ying My lord, it seems that there is no way to refuse."

"Indeed." Ai sighed softly.

Jinjiao and Yinjiao are masters in Yunyin Ninja Village, and they have high prestige in the village. It is said that they are descendants of the Sage of the Six Paths. This further confirms this rumor - if it is not a descendant of the Sage of the Six Paths, how can it adapt to the power of the tailed beast?

Because of this, the prestige of Jinjiao and Yinjiao is so high that they are very close to Ai who is the leader of a village. Ai has to consider the opinions of these two people, because people in Yunyin Ninja Village respect power, so there are many main fighters. Expecting to encroach on the territory of other countries as before, they will not refuse the daimyo's request, and they have voiced dissatisfaction with the conclusion of the Five Kage Agreement.

The reason why Ai wanted to refuse was not because he was afraid of the Fire Nation, but because he thought that the village was not prepared enough, and there was no sufficient logistical guarantee for launching a war rashly. , cannot support a long war.

It’s just that Jinjiao and Yinjiao announced that they would support the daimyo’s firm request. Ai thought about it, and it seemed that he could only decide to launch a war against the Fire Nation immediately.

Ai is also a straightforward person. After deciding to do something in his heart, other thoughts were put aside one after another, and all that remained was what kind of battle plan to adopt.

After Yunyin Ninja Village was established, Ai made unremitting efforts to integrate the ninja families in the village, established the authority of "Ai", and unified the whole village under the name of "Ai".On the other hand, the person who contributed to the development of the village is Da, and this man is also a person who is good at innovation.

Through the traditional customs of the country of thunder and the characteristics of thunder escape, Da has successively developed swordsmanship and physical skills. The most praised by Ai is the secret technique called thunder escape chakra mode.The method of strengthening the body with thunder attribute chakra has existed since ancient times, but it is the first time that a secret technique that integrates offense and defense like the thunder chakra mode is used.

The only shortcoming is that this secret technique requires too much on the body, and ordinary people cannot use it for a long time. Da admits that it is tailor-made for him according to the physical strength of his disciples. Ai also knows the strong physical strength of that young man. , I believe that this secret technique can be carried forward in that young man.

Recently, Tatsumi is trying to train jinchuriki so that they can play a role in the war. Unfortunately, the Land of Thunder does not have jinchuriki that can compare with Mito. Let alone using the power of tailed beasts, they all Still suffering from the mental impact caused by the seal of the Tailed Beast, if one is not careful, he will go berserk.

If it takes longer, Tatsu may have better results, but now he can't count on the strength of Jinzhu Riki, and can only look at Yunyin Ninja Village himself.

When Ai was thinking about the battle plan, he couldn't help thinking of the Five Kage Agreement signed a year ago. He didn't expect that it would be torn up so soon. However, Hokage himself knew it well, knowing that this agreement would become invalid at some point, so , don't blame them.

——At the end of the day, we are all ninjas, and we have to obey the orders of our employers. Our own will is meaningless, isn't it?

——Even if it is you Senshou Bashirama, when the fire country daimyo wants you to go out, can you still refuse the other party's request?
——As the leader of the Ninja Village, the only thing I have to do is to obey the order of the daimyo, reveal the value of the ninja village, make the daimyo more and more dependent on the ninja village, mutual benefit and mutual assistance, this will be my last battle.

Ai thought silently in his heart.
