Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

After the messenger hurriedly returned to the Sand Village to report, the Third Kazekage and Granny Chiyo held an emergency discussion.

They soon realized that they had to respond carefully, otherwise they would not only lose the prisoners, but might also anger Uchiha Kagezuki, causing the situation to deteriorate further.

A few days later, the two sides agreed on a secluded location for negotiations.

Granny Chiyo came forward in person, facing Uchiha Kagezuki, she felt both uneasy and worried.

After all, her son and daughter-in-law are in Yingyue's hands at the moment.

At the beginning of the negotiation, Uchiha Kagezuki directly raised the question: "We all have a common enemy - the Land of Rain. Are you, the Sand Village, asking for trouble by attacking Konoha at this time?"

Grandma Chiyo was speechless for a moment after hearing Yingyue's words.

She could only bite the bullet and explain, "Master Yingyue, please calm down. This action was not the intention of the Third Kazekage, but was decided on its own by some elders. The Third Kazekage was not aware of this, and those elders have already been punished."

After hearing this, Uchiha Kagezuki's tone was still cold: "I can redeem your captives, but I want my own reincarnation technique. In addition, the Sand Village must compensate Konoha for its losses."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Chiyo felt embarrassed.

The Jisei Reincarnation Technique is a forbidden technique of the Sand Village and it is of great importance. She didn't know how to respond for a moment.

She frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Uchiha Yingyue narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a threatening tone: "Grandma Chiyo, your son and daughter-in-law are still in my hands. The reincarnation technique is very important to me. You don't want your grandson Scorpion to become an orphan, right?"

Chiyo's heart tightened when she heard this.

Her son, daughter-in-law and grandson Scorpion are her weak points. Thinking of the possibility of losing her loved ones, Chiyo struggled for a long time and finally succumbed to family affection.

"I can give you a copy of the scroll of the Self-Reincarnation Technique, but you must promise not to pass it on to anyone else and not to hand it over to Konoha. This matter cannot appear in the public negotiation conditions, otherwise I will be in big trouble." Grandma Chiyo said helplessly.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Uchiha Kagezuki smiled with satisfaction and readily agreed: "Deal. As for other negotiation conditions, I will try to relax them as much as possible. Happy cooperation, Grandma Chiyo. Your son, daughter-in-law, and subordinates will be safely sent back to the Sand Village soon."

Grandma Chiyo nodded. Although she was filled with reluctance, she understood that she had no more choices at this moment.

After the negotiation, Chiyo personally handed the scroll of Jisei's reincarnation to Uchiha Kagezuki.

Uchiha Yingyue took the scroll and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only did he have hope of successfully rescuing Tsunade's brother, Senju Nawaki, but he also obtained favorable conditions for Konoha through this negotiation, further consolidating his position in Konoha and on the battlefield.

While Uchiha Kagezuki was concentrating on learning the technique of self-reincarnation and waiting for Orochimaru's progress in improving the Impure World Reincarnation, the Third Raikage Ai of the Hidden Cloud Village was also plotting his next move.

Due to its geographical location, the Hidden Cloud Village did not directly participate in the Second Ninja World War, and the village retained relatively complete combat effectiveness.

In contrast, in other ninja villages, such as Konoha and Iwagakure, most of the elite ninjas have been sent to the front lines, and the defense within the village is relatively weak.

Raikage Ai keenly realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He thought that if he could launch a surprise attack on the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Leaf Village at this time, he would not only be able to severely damage these two major ninja villages, but also be able to seize more resources and strategic advantages for the Hidden Cloud Village. Thinking of this, Raikage Ai was filled with excitement.

He knew clearly that the opportunity was fleeting and he had to act quickly.

Otherwise, why do they say that where there is a crouching dragon, there must be a phoenix chick? The Third Kazekage thought so, and the Third Raikage also thought so.

Therefore, the Third Raikage Ai immediately gave the order to quickly assemble the ninja troops of the Hidden Cloud Village.

In order to ensure the success of the operation, he decided to personally lead a surprise attack on Konoha Village. At the same time, he sent his most trusted general to lead another force to Iwagakure Village to prepare for a large-scale surprise attack.

The ninja troops of the Hidden Cloud Village acted quickly. Raikage Ai personally selected the most elite ninjas in the village to form a powerful assault force.

Each of these ninjas is extremely skilled, and they know that the success or failure of this operation will determine the future status and reputation of the Hidden Cloud Village in the ninja world.

The Third Raikage Ai also gave them clear instructions: "Attack quickly, seize resources, and retreat immediately after success. Don't fight to the end!"

The morale of the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village was high. They followed the Raikage Ai and headed towards the Konoha Village and the Hidden Iwa Village.

The Third Raikage Ai had already pictured a picture of victory in his mind. He could almost imagine what Konoha Village and Iwagakure would look like after being severely damaged by him. That would be an important step for the rise of Kumogakure Village in the ninja world.

However, just as the Raikage Ai and his troops approached their target, the intelligence systems of Konoha Village and Iwagakure Village were not unaware.

Although the defenses of Konoha and Iwagakure have been weakened, the garrisons in the villages are still on high alert, especially Konoha Village. The one left behind in the village is Hatake Sakumo, the top warrior known as the "White Fang of Konoha".

At the same time, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen also learned about the movements of the Hidden Cloud Village from intelligence.

He realized that this sudden attack could pose a great threat to Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hesitate and immediately ordered the Konoha Village to enter a state of maximum alert. He also sent a messenger to the front line of the Rain Country to urgently recall Uchiha Kagezuki and other elite ninjas on the front line.

At this moment, although the surprise attack of the Hidden Cloud Village was swift, it was gradually being noticed by Konoha and the Hidden Iwagakure Village.

In the tense atmosphere, all forces are responding quickly, a fierce battle is about to break out, and the storm in the ninja world is sweeping in again.

The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki was extremely angry when he learned that the northern part of the Iwagakure Village was suddenly attacked by the Kumogakure Village.

He slammed the table and stood up, angrily cursing the Third Raikage Ai for his despicable and shameless behavior: "This Raikage actually took advantage of the situation to rob, how shameless!"

Ōnoki was well aware that this raid was intended to destroy the Iwagakure Village's rear defenses, putting the Iwagakure Village's battle on the front line in the Rain Country into even greater trouble.

Without time to hesitate, Ōnoki immediately gave the order and led the large army of Iwagakure Village back from the front line of Rain Country to defend Iwagakure Village.

At the same time, he also ordered the ninjas stationed on other fronts to provide emergency support and to resist the attack of the Hidden Cloud Village and ensure that the Hidden Iwagakure Village would not suffer greater losses.

At the same time, Konoha Village was also suddenly attacked by the Hidden Cloud Village.

The Third Raikage Ai personally led the elite troops and quickly approached the border of Konoha Village.

Konoha Village was not unprepared for this surprise attack.

Hatake Sakumo, who stayed in the village, immediately organized a defense. The chakra dagger in his hand flashed with cold light, and his figure shuttled through the battlefield like a white lightning.
