Naruto: I traveled through time with the Samsara Eye.

In the original work, the Third Raikage was killed, and the responsibility was entirely his own.

If he didn't stay to stop the pursuers and prevent his guards from escaping first, even if Ōnoki pulled out all the ninjas from the Iwagakure, they would not be able to surround and kill him.

Unfortunately, the Third Raikage was overconfident and stayed behind to fend off the pursuers, which gave Ōnoki the opportunity to kill him.

If the Third Raikage did not stay and left directly, Ohnoki would have no way to deal with him.

The leader of the Cloud Ninja Village chose to stay behind to cover his retreat for the sake of his guards, but ended up killing himself.

This kind of thing is really hard to understand.

Are the lives of a few Raikage guards more important than the life of the Third Raikage?

During the First Ninja World War, Tobirama Senju stayed behind to cover the retreat, also for the sake of his disciples.

This reason is still tenable, as it is to leave one's own disciples behind to cover the retreat and give the other side a chance to escape.

The Third Raikage was the one who stayed behind to protect the guards, giving them a chance to escape.

This kind of operation is really impossible for ordinary people to do.

Is it the Raikage's guards protecting the Raikage, or is it the Raikage protecting the guards?

If these guards can't even protect the Raikage's safety, then what's the point of having Raikage guards?

As a decoration?

He still holds us back at the critical moment.

Do you think I will believe you?

Although no traces of an ambush were found, Ōnoki did not dare to bet on the character of the Third Raikage, nor would he believe his one-sided statement.

The Third Raikage didn't care that Ōnoki didn't believe what he said.

He took out a scroll from his clothes, opened it, and threw the corpse out of the scroll and placed it on the ground.

"........"

Damn it! !

Seeing the corpse on the ground, Ohnoki's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

Old Purple!!!

This guy's death also means that the Four-Tails was extracted from the Cloud Village and sealed in the Cloud Village.

It turns out that this was the purpose of the Third Raikage's visit.

He really came to take revenge on the Iwagakure.

You, the Iwagakure, don’t admit defeat?

Well then, the Four-Tails will stay in the Cloud Ninja Village, and I will send you the strength of the Jinchūriki, but don't thank me.

This is what we in the Cloud Ninja Village should do.

"Ohnoki, do you like the gift I gave you?"

The Third Raikage looked at the sky with a gloomy face, Ohnoki.

"Raikage, you passed."

Ohnoki really wanted to kill the Third Raikage here.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance.

"You were the one who acted rogue first."

The Third Raikage laughed, and looking at Ohnoki's ugly old face, the frustration in his heart finally dissipated: "The Four-tailed Cloud Ninja Village is left behind, and I, the Jinchūriki, will return it to you."

"The Kumogakure Village cannot keep the Four-Tails, and other villages will not allow you to do so."

"of course."

The Third Raikage laughed loudly: "I only left the Four-Tails in the Cloud Village. I didn't say that I would forcibly occupy the Four-Tails. The Four-Tails is just a trophy of the Cloud Village. Whether it can be kept or not is not the point. As long as it stays, it is enough."

It's just cheating.

As long as the Kumogakure does not look for a new Jinchūriki and seals the Four-Tails, and as long as it does not announce to the public that the Four-Tails belongs to the Kumogakure and is part of the Kumogakure, then there will be a question mark behind the ownership of the Four-Tails.

It's useless no matter who speaks.

Just drag it out and it will be done.

"........"

It is true that rogue behavior disgusts the other party, but when the other party also starts to use such rogue means, you will also feel disgusted.

At this moment, Ohnoki was disgusted by the behavior of the Third Raikage.

But he couldn't blame the Third Raikage, because the Third Raikage didn't say that the Four-Tails had completely returned to the Cloud Village.

As long as the ownership is not determined, even if the Sand Village, the Mist Village, and Konoha do not want the Cloud Village to have another tailed beast, they can't find any problem with it.

The tentative ownership means that the Iwagakure can bring the Four-Tails back through negotiation or other means.

As long as the Iwagakure does not give up the Four-Tails, it will sooner or later have to drink the Third Raikage's foot washing water.

"Hahaha, the Four-Tails is not doing well in the Cloud Village. I hope your village can send someone to bring it back to the Rock Village as soon as possible. I am waiting for your visit."

After leaving behind a mocking remark to Ōnoki, the Third Raikage laughed and left.

Looking at the back of the Third Raikage as he left, Ohnoki's teeth were almost broken, but he did not choose to chase him or lead people to surround the Third Raikage.

There's no point in doing this.

The lone Third Raikage could pass through the Land of Water Trap and enter the Land of Fire at the fastest speed. Even if Ohnoki led people to chase him, he would not be able to force the Third Raikage to stay in the Land of Water Trap, and he might even be ridiculed by the Third Raikage again.

"Lao Zi, you deserve to die!!!"

If he hadn't been worried that someone would say that he even spared the bodies of his fellow villagers, Ōnoki would have wanted to use Dust Release to decompose Lao Zi's body.

Not only did this bastard commit suicide, but he also brought shame upon himself.

Thinking back to what Lao Zi had done in the past, Ohnoki felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

"Take Lao Zi's body back to the village for burial."

The person is already dead, and the Four-Tails has been left in the Cloud Village. No one knows how much it will cost to get it back. Ohnoki is in a terrible mood.

The Iwagakure Village tactically withdrew its troops and refused to admit defeat, which allowed them to avoid being slaughtered by the Kumogakure Village. But can the Four-Tails be avoided?

It is inevitable, unless the Iwagakure no longer wants the Four-Tails.

Ohnoki really didn't dare to say this, otherwise he would definitely be scolded to death by the villagers.

The only thing we can do now is to delay.

After slapping Ohnoki twice in the face, the Third Raikage felt extremely relieved.

"Go to the Land of Fire, send a visiting card to Konoha. I want to be a guest in Konoha."

"Yes, Raikage-sama."

Now that I'm here, it would be a shame not to take a walk around Konoha.

It just so happened that the Third Raikage wanted to talk to Tsunade and Shizuka about the Four-Tails.

The Third Raikage was very envious of the Four-Tails, but unfortunately he couldn't keep it by force. Fortunately, as long as the Four-Tails was in the Cloud Village, the Third Raikage had given an explanation to the villagers.

If the Four-Tails cannot be retained and the war launched by the village is not won, then he, the Third Raikage, will lose face.

After evacuating from Takikyuu, the Third Raikage did not return directly to the Land of Lightning, but went to visit Konoha.

Early in the morning, Tsunade sent someone to find Jingyi.

Jingyi, who was still sleepy, could only crawl out of bed, put on his clothes, wash up simply, and rush to the Hokage office building.

"It's so early, what do you want to talk to me about?"

It was still dark outside. Tsunade had stayed directly in the Hokage's office building last night.

Every Hokage has the habit of staying overnight in the Hokage office building, and Tsunade is no exception.
