Chapter 127 The Raikage's Decision
Raikage's office.
The Third Raikage, Ai, stood there, repeatedly rubbing his fingers against the shallow yet incredibly glaring scar on his right arm.
Sealing technique.
Shame before the snow.
The Third Raikage Aina's massive, mountain-like body gradually tensed, and the blood vessels under his skin bulged out like writhing dragons.
He squinted at the old man in front of him, who was only up to his chest and looked like he could be blown away by a gust of wind.
Hiruzen Sarutobi!
These four words, like a red-hot branding iron, were branded fiercely onto Ai's heart.
That perpetually calm and collected expression, as if he had everything under control, once again clearly surfaced in his mind.
Ai's heart pounded, his blood surging through his veins. He could feel his fighting spirit, dormant for months, wildly resurfacing.
"Brother... Lord Raikage... he's not going to make a move, is he?"
Hozuki Shio nervously swallowed and whispered to Hozuki Kaigetsu beside her.
She could clearly feel that the chakra emanating from the Third Raikage had become terrifyingly violent.
It was no longer just a simple sense of oppression; it was almost like lightning was about to materialize, and the air in the office became scorching.
Hozuki Kaigetsu did not answer, but gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his entire body in battle mode.
As soon as the opponent makes the slightest move, he will draw his sword immediately and use water transformation technique to escape with Yuan Shi and his sister.
Although he knew that the chances of him escaping successfully from this man were extremely slim.
The entire office was eerily quiet.
for a long time.
"Ha ha……"
The Third Raikage suddenly grinned and smiled.
"Hahahahaha!"
The laughter was wild and domineering, making people's ears ring.
"Master Yuan."
Ai looked at the old man in front of her with admiration in her eyes.
"You have guts. You dare to mention that name to my face and use my shame as a bargaining chip."
He slammed his hand on the table.
boom--!
The desk, made of hardwood, shattered into pieces in an instant, turning into wood chips that filled the air.
A violent shockwave, carrying wood chips, swept towards Wuying and her group.
Hozuki Kaigetsu instantly stepped in front of everyone, his body enveloped in water vapor, ready to withstand the impact.
However, just as the wave of energy was about to touch them, Ai forcefully pushed it back with an even stronger aura.
"boom--"
Hozuki Kaigetsu gripped the hilt of his sword vertically and swiftly slashed upwards.
The sawdust has dissipated.
The master remained standing in the same spot, his robes not even swaying.
He looked calmly at the unpredictable Third Raikage before him, his cloudy eyes showing no fear whatsoever.
"You've convinced me."
Ai looked at Master Yuan, clearly having made a decision.
"Go on!"
"I want to know what kind of sincerity your Hidden Mist Village intends to offer to facilitate this alliance!"
The weight that had been hanging over Master Yuan's heart finally lifted.
It became.
He knew that for a pure martial arts expert like Ai, any roundabout words were superfluous.
Only the most direct benefits and the desire for revenge that ignites his fighting spirit are the only keys to swaying him.
"Lord Raikage speaks frankly and directly; I admire that."
Master Yuan smiled and said calmly, "Our sincerity will naturally satisfy you."
"First, regarding the distribution of the spoils."
Master Yuan held up one finger. "All the sealing technique scrolls from the Land of Whirlpools, regardless of their value, will be copied jointly by both sides, half for each. We will not take more, nor will we take less. As for other treasures, people, and land, they will be distributed fairly according to the contributions of both sides in the battle."
"A 50/50 split?"
The Third Raikage raised an eyebrow, clearly somewhat surprised by the allocation plan.
In his view, since Kirigakure took the initiative to come to him, they should pay a greater price.
"Lord Raikage."
The commander seemed to see through his thoughts and said with a smile, "Secondly, it's about troop deployment."
"To show our sincerity, our Hidden Mist Village will have our Third Mizukage personally lead the operation."
The Mizukage is personally leading the team?
A hint of surprise flashed in Ai's eyes.
It seems that Kirigakure is determined to succeed in this operation.
"at the same time,"
The voice of the master carried a hint of pride, "The three strongest bloodline limit families in our village—Kaguya, Yuki, and Hozuki—will each dispatch their most elite troops to accompany us on this expedition."
"The Kaguya clan's Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) is known for its formidable close-combat abilities, which I'm sure the Raikage has heard of."
"The Snow Clan's ice-style techniques are especially effective in naval warfare."
"As for the Hozuki clan..."
Master Yuan glanced at Haiyue and tide beside him, his eyes full of admiration. "Their water transformation technique is the best means of infiltration and assassination."
Upon hearing that Kirigakure had dispatched such a formidable force, the Third Raikage's last remaining doubts were completely dispelled.
With the Mizukage personally overseeing the operation, elites from the three major bloodline families were all present.
This sincerity is enough.
The thought of erasing Hiruzen Sarutobi, the man who had brought him such humiliation, from the map was incredibly grating.
Just thinking about seeing that person's furious yet helpless expression after hearing the news...
The Third Raikage felt his blood boiling.
"good!"
Ai suddenly punched the only remaining chair next to him.
boom!
That chair instantly turned to dust.
"I agree!"
The Third Raikage, Aina, spoke with an overbearing and arrogant voice that echoed throughout the office, even mingling with the rumbling thunder outside.
"I will personally lead this operation!"
"Let our Cloud Village's lightning, and your Kirigakure's dense fog, together deliver an unforgettable gift to that tiny Land of Whirlpools, and to the Leaf Village behind it!"
Outside the office, the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to sense something and began to churn violently, and a thick bolt of lightning ripped across the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a deafening thunderclap illuminated Aina's狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face with crystal clarity.
It was as if the prelude to this alliance that was about to overturn the ninja world was being played.
Hozuki Shio looked at the Third Raikage in front of her, and seeing the frantically burning fighting spirit in his eyes, she subconsciously swallowed.
She leaned close to her brother's ear and whispered, "Brother... this guy... is even crazier than Kaguya, that gorilla."
Hozuki Kaigetsu did not answer, but silently tightened his grip on the knife in his hand.
A storm sweeping through the ninja world is now inevitable.
