After taking over the snake uncle's foundation, Sasuke came to surrender on his own initiative.

But within a few days, in early autumn, a solemn atmosphere permeated the water caves at the foot of the mountain in Takinoshi Village.

Before Yinzhu could wait for Konoha's action, he received the news that Kumogakure had stockpiled a large number of ninja troops and, despite the obstruction of the Daimyo of Takikuni, had entered the territory of Takikuni without authorization.

Many ninjas from Iwagakure and Kusa-guchi also crossed the border between the two countries to watch the show, while the Kumogakure ninja troops formed a standoff with the Otogakure ninjas stationed in Taki-no-kuni in Otogakure, within the natural barrier of the waterfall.

Any ninja from the Sound Village who dares to walk out of the edge of the waterfall will face ruthless slaughter and blockade by the Cloud Ninjas.

However, what is puzzling is that Kumogakure did not take the opportunity to launch a fierce attack and annihilate the weak "Zhu Taki" troops in one fell swoop, but chose a siege strategy.

This led to a stalemate, and it was not until half a day ago that the addition of new forces such as Zabuza sent by Ontake made Yunyin feel a little pressure.

However, this pressure did not last long as the Hidden Cloud Force once again demonstrated its formidable strength.

The Fourth Raikage is here in person!

Zabuza was defeated and retreated back into the waterfall of Takinoshi Village.

This forced Zabuza and his subordinates to re-examine their next action plan.

Many ninjas in the Takikuni region speculated about the hidden meaning behind this war.

Some people believe that the reason why Kumogakure adopted the siege strategy was to lure the Sound Ninja leader to appear and then annihilate him in one fell swoop; others believe that Kumogakure might be afraid of something and might not have made adequate preparations, so they were waiting for the Sound Ninja leader to arrive and then negotiate with each other.

However, most of the spies from the ninja villages in various countries were puzzled as to why such a strange situation occurred.

After all, the news that the two Two-Tails Jinchuriki were captured by the wooden man only spread within a small circle.

People just thought that it was the violent Raikage who wanted to avenge his own Lava Release Ninja.

However, no matter what the truth is, this war has attracted widespread attention from all the northern countries in the ninja world.

More and more ninjas flocked to Takiguni Village, wanting to witness the upcoming war with their own eyes.

If the Sound Ninja leader really comes, and the Cloud Village has prepared a surprise for him, then the scale and intensity of this war may not be inferior to the outbreak of a full-scale war between the two major ninja villages.

At this tense moment, across from the giant waterfall.

Two people were drinking leisurely.

One of them was a young boy with a big silver-white back hair and frivolous manners. He sat on the ground with his teeth bared, imitating adults in drinking.

The other person was a man wearing a black mask with green eyes, looking very strange.

The two wore forehead protectors with the unique logos of Yuin and Taki respectively, but there was a horizontal line across them, symbolizing their identities as traitorous ninjas.

Suddenly, someone spoke.

"Hidan, you are right. The one who destroyed your Hot Spring Village alone was indeed that guy."

Hearing this, the frivolous boy's eyes sparkled. He turned to look at the masked man with a weird look and said with a smile, "Kakuzu, can your master Hidan really lie to you? I saw it with my own eyes at that time."

"But..." Feidan added, "That guy is really strong. I had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​sacrificing the whole village and escape first."

The masked man named Kakuzu nodded slightly with a mysterious smile on his face.

"It seems that the newly established Hot Spring Village is quite interesting... The leader of the Sound Village named Ototake is indeed not a person who stays content with his lot..."

He knew that the outcome of this war would determine the future of the ninja world. As a key figure, Akatsuki must remain calm and rational in order to lead the organization to victory and achieve its goals.

"Burp - wine is such a disgusting thing! Ugh!"

Hidan was complaining loudly on the side, while Kakuzu was looking at the waterfall in the distance, lost in thought.

There is no need for much explanation. Anyone can see that the Cloud Village did not launch any substantial attack in its siege of the Takigakure. It was obvious that it was forcing Yinzhu to step forward and rescue his ninjas.

Since Yunyin has made such thorough preparations, he must have arranged everything in secret.

This was undoubtedly a carefully planned conspiracy against the Sound Village.

Zabuza had already made plans. If the situation worsened, he would immediately notify his leader through the curse seal to come to support him. As for other things, he could not care less.

Inside the waterfall, the headquarters of Sound Village.

"Is the leader coming? In the entire ninja world, I'm afraid that Lord Ototake is the only ninja who can truly value his subordinates so much."

Bai walked up to Zabuza and sighed, "But the master is only one person after all, and he can't be in two places at once..."

Zabuza remained silent.

In this vast world of the ninja world, even if Yin Zhu can save them this time, does it mean that he needs to save them every time?

You must rely on your own strength and constantly improve your own capabilities in order to cope with various unexpected events and challenges.

Zabuza clenched his fists and swore silently in his heart.

Only Kabuto looked at the Kumogakure ninja troops gathered at the waterfall mouth, frowned and said, "The leader wants to unify the ninja world. If it is hindered by a small country like Taki, then the desire to achieve unification will probably be a long way off.

Those enemies who are watching, such as Konoha or the neighboring Iwagakure, will definitely take the opportunity to swarm in when they see this scene.

Therefore, the crisis of Taki Country must be dealt with. I think that this time he will personally clear the obstacles on the road ahead.

Even though we know there are Kumogakure ahead, we must move forward bravely and take them down in one fell swoop to intimidate those enemies who are watching, and then we can take over the entire Taki Kingdom in one fell swoop.

In addition, with the Two-Tails Jinchuriki in your hands, there may not necessarily be a fight this time. It all depends on the attitude of the Hidden Cloud Village.

So, this is both a severe test and a rare opportunity..."

Zabuza knew exactly what Kabuto meant.

Once they defeat Kumogakure this time, with the accumulated prestige, the expansion of Sound Village will no longer be hindered by anything.

But now the entire Otogakure Village is supported by Otogakure alone. If a large-scale war really breaks out, the outcome would be hard to predict.

"That's Kumogakure, which is actually stronger than Konoha now. With our strength, we won't be able to help you once the war breaks out! I blame my own people for being too useless!"

Bai angrily whispered to himself, his eyes reddening.

Zabuza and Kabuto looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Perhaps, this is the charm of Yin Zhu's personality, which can move the heart of someone as indifferent as Bai.

But based on what Zabuza and Kabuto know about Onotake, he never does anything without confidence. Except that the power under his command has not yet grown to a large scale, he is not inferior to the five contemporary Kage in terms of strength, methods and character.

The two looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with understanding. "Whether they can fight or not, that depends on whether the Fourth Raikage can hold his temper..."
