Chapter 69 - 69: Amegakure's Reckless Actions

"Once your control over Chakra improves to a certain degree, achieving this won't be difficult." Mito seemed to sense Kazuki's shock and softly explained, "Although people with more Chakra rarely meticulously manage their Chakra, Chakra is ultimately finite." "Even Hashirama experienced situations where his Chakra was completely depleted. Training your Chakra control regularly will not harm you." "Yes, I understand, Grandma Mito." Kazuki thought of the final battle between Hashirama and Madara. This battle has been memed by many, and the manga didn't show many details, at least not a scene where Hashirama easily crushed Madara and the Nine-Tails. When he said, 'Nine-Tails, you're too dangerous, I'm going to seal you,' he was almost completely exhausted. Perhaps a single Nine-Tails could be restrained or even crushed by Hashirama, but Madara plus the Nine-Tails would not fear Hashirama. The facts also proved that in that battle, Hashirama over-exerted his Chakra and died not long after. It could be said that Hashirama's Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands was a life-draining Ninjutsu, even Hashirama only used it once. If one were to take the anime version as the true Ninja World, they would surely be misled to their death by this Ninja World. Just like in the anime, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya marries a noble, but in reality, how could a member of the Otsutsuki clan possibly fancy a mortal? For the proud Otsutsuki clan, the mortals are no different from a monkey, how could she possibly fall in love with him? This is nothing more than fawning over the emperor. After all, there is an imperial family in Japan, and sometimes, creative works are inevitably influenced by them. The Sage of Six Paths is the child of the emperor, and the so-called goddess is the emperor's woman. Don't you think that's amazing? But could such a thing really happen? Even the Infinite Tsukuyomi would not make such a thing possible. Hashirama and Madara both had good control over their Chakra. Kazuki didn't think his future Chakra would be less than theirs, but he still needed to train what needed training. In the following days, Kazuki entered seclusion to develop the Rasengan. He already knew the learning process for the Rasengan, and now that he had personally seen a Tailed Beast Bomb, developing the Rasengan was well-deserved, and the difficulty was not too small. However, Kazuki still needed to be somewhat low-key. It couldn't be that he saw the Tailed Beast Bomb today and developed it the next day, right? While Kazuki was in seclusion researching the Rasengan, the Third Raikage arrived in Konoha. This time, the Third Raikage did not come discreetly. Instead, he came with great fanfare, which attracted the attention of the Ninja World. "Welcome, Raikage. The last time we met was during the First Great Ninja War, wasn't it?" Hiruzen, wearing his Hokage robe and a straw hat, shook hands with the Third Raikage and greeted him with a smile. "I don't want to meet you guys. It's never anything good." The Third Raikage grumbled. Even after arriving in Konoha, the Third Raikage was still full of dissatisfaction. Hiruzen smiled noncommittally at the Third Raikage's displeasure. Let him complain, he just needs to get the benefits. Anyway, he was getting more benefits, so if the other party wanted to complain a few times, he would just let them. Hiruzen said with a smile, "If possible, I hope we can meet often, as the Ninja World is not peaceful at all right now." "Many things can be resolved through conversation, so there's no need for fighting and killing, right?" How could the Third Raikage not understand Hiruzen's hidden meaning? He took a deep breath and snorted softly, but he did not deny Hiruzen's words. When Bee was captured, the Third Raikage knew that his side was destined to suffer a loss. As for sacrificing Bee, that was impossible. It could be said that as long as Hiruzen's side wasn't too excessive, his side could accept it. Of course, on the surface, he still had to be tough, indicating that he didn't mind going to war with Konoha. Kumogakure might not be able to contend with Konoha alone, but the other villages would not stand by and watch. The Third Raikage and Hiruzen were negotiating in the Hokage Office conference room. Just then, an Anbu hurried into the office and whispered something into Hiruzen's ear, which caused his expression to change slightly. Then Hiruzen looked at the Third Raikage with a serious expression and said, "Raikage, the Land of Rain and the Land of Iron have declared war." "What?" The Third Raikage was stunned. The Land of Rain had been making frequent moves lately, seemingly showing signs of war. Originally, the Third Raikage had analyzed that the Land of Rain might declare war on Konoha, and then they could take advantage of the situation. However, what the Third Raikage didn't expect was that the Land of Rain would brazenly invade the Land of Iron. "Raikage, you should understand what the Land of Iron represents, right?" Hiruzen stared at the Raikage and said in a deep voice. "It's a permanently neutral country, and it's protected by the Five Great Nations. This was personally promised by the Daimyos of the Five Great Nations." The Third Raikage snorted coldly. At this moment, he wanted to beat Hanzo up. If you want to fight, go fight Konoha, why the Land of Iron! "I'm afraid it won't be long before the Daimyo's Mansion demands that we send troops to the Land of Rain." Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief internally. Hanzo must have been desperate. The samurai of the Land of Iron were acknowledged by samurai and the Daimyos of various countries. For samurai, the Land of Iron was their own people. The Land of Iron was inextricably linked with the Daimyos of various countries. Although ninjas have basically replaced samurai now, in the hearts of the Daimyos, samurai are their true people. Hanzo's actions were actually favored by the Five Great Ninja Villages but not permitted by the Daimyos. Anyway, for Konoha, this was a good thing. "The Land of Iron has large quantities of minerals and is rich in weapons. If the Land of Rain annexes the Land of Iron, then the Land of Rain will become the sixth great nation." The Third Raikage sighed helplessly. If the Land of Rain had declared war on the Land of Fire at this time, he could have easily gotten Bee out. But now, he probably had no choice but to pay some benefits. "This is something no one wants to see, Raikage, let's cooperate." Hiruzen extended his hand to the Third Raikage and said, "If possible, I hope for an alliance." "Our last alliance almost succeeded, but then an accident occurred. This time, I hope it can succeed."
