Bab 143: Chapter 142: Fire Hidden Village, Wood Shadow, Uchiha!
The atmosphere became a bit tense.
The envoys stayed calm, quietly waiting for Konoha and Cloud Village to act.
Can we endure? Can you?
Fire Hidden Village!
Wood Shadow!
This village has always felt off from the beginning.
From the start, they've been targeting Konoha.
The very creation of this village is a shame Konoha can't shake off. If you can endure it, we'll call you "big brother."
As for Cloud Village...
They've already publicly displayed the Two-Tails and made it a perfect Jinchuriki. Are you willing to let that go?
Fight!
Fight the Uchiha!
Wipe them out!
In fact, just as these envoys predicted, as soon as the meeting ended, the envoys from Konoha and Cloud Village turned and left.
No reconciliation possible!
The conflict will only end when one side admits defeat.
After a few meaningless congratulations from the other ninja villages' envoys, they left too after a brief chat with the Uchiha.
Welcome Uchiha Village?
Nonsense!
There's only so much to go around. If you get more, we get less.
Who would be willing to let that happen?
They'll wait for Cloud Village and Konoha to act first, then decide how to respond.
"How's it going?"
Pakura, along with Yugito, arrived at the back of Fire Hidden Village, a place nestled between mountains and rivers.
There was a house there.
Itsuki had taken up temporary residence in this place.
As for the others, some lived in large tents, while others stayed in simple shelters.
The ninja homes were still under construction.
"The message has been sent. As expected, Cloud Village and Konoha will attack us, while the other villages will remain neutral," said Pakura. "Your plan worked, but I don't understand—why did you choose Cloud Village and Konoha as opponents? Wouldn't facing Sand Village be easier for us?"
Itsuki smiled casually, "We need to pick the two strongest villages, otherwise the other villages might get involved."
Itsuki deliberately set up Fire Hidden Village to face Cloud Village and Konoha.
Uchiha establishing a village would undoubtedly attract interference from many ninja villages.
Since that was inevitable, he decided to proactively choose his enemies.
Konoha was bound to be an opponent.
For the second, Itsuki chose Cloud Village, the next strongest after Konoha.
Because of the Two-Tails.
Because they're bandits.
Is Cloud Village interested in the Uchiha bloodline?
Definitely!
Do they want to destroy Fire Hidden Village and take everything?
Of course!
So Itsuki decided to strike first and force them to submit.
Beat them until they're scared of the Uchiha!
Once the strongest two ninja villages make their move, the others will naturally step back and wait for the chance to gain from the situation.
Now, everything is going according to plan.
They just needed to give Cloud Village and Konoha a good beating, forcing them to behave, and Fire Hidden Village would solidify its place in the ninja world.
"Come here!"
Itsuki turned to Pakura and Yugito, gesturing for them to approach.
"You both performed very well this time, let me reward you."
"Who cares!" Pakura huffed, but obediently walked over.
Yugito hesitated, fidgeting in place.
"Hmph!"
Itsuki snorted softly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Yugito shuddered, her eyes tearing up slightly, and soon after, her whole body began trembling.
But!
The trembling made it hard to tell whether it was fear or excitement!
"Tsk tsk!"
Itsuki clicked his tongue and said, "This little kitty is actually a pleasant surprise."
...
As the envoys from the various ninja villages left...
Fire Hidden Village!
Wood Shadow!
These two names began to spread across the ninja world.
At first, it was mockery.
But later, the leaders of the other villages grew serious.
Fire Hidden Village now had a large barrier protecting the entire village.
And it wasn't just Uchiha—there were other ninjas as well!
The Two-Tails was in Fire Hidden Village!
She had fully mastered the power of the Tailed Beast and become a perfect Jinchuriki!
When combined, these factors were enough to shock anyone.
For instance, the Raikage!
As soon as he received the news, the Fourth Raikage punched through a wall and stormed out of his office.
Mabui, his secretary, stood there with a dark look, too drained to even sigh.
In Cloud Village, the destruction of the Raikage's office was a massive and frequent expense.
Desks, chairs, walls, and doors!
Nothing lasted a week!
"Yoo-hoo!"
"Awrooo!"
"Guys!"
"Yaaah!!"
"Are you excited?"
A middle-aged man in summer robes stood on a platform, rapping to the crowd below.
His expression was passionate, and tears were faintly visible in his eyes.
The people below responded with excited screams.
They were so hysterical.
They were so wild!
But, they were also...so helpless.
In fact!
There were only a dozen people below, all tied up to prevent them from escaping.
Killer Bee's concert was a total failure.
Frustrated, he had to drag his disciples along to act as his audience.
"Boom!"
A thunderclap suddenly roared.
A massive figure, surrounded by lightning, appeared before Killer Bee.
"Yo, yo, big bro!"
Killer Bee looked at the stormy expression of the Fourth Raikage and gave a sheepish smile.
"What are you doing?"
"I…"
"Bam!"
Before Killer Bee could respond, a large hand grabbed his head hard.
"You idiot! I told you to train, to master the Tailed Beast's power quickly, but all you do is mess around with this nonsense, huh?"
"Speak!
Speak up!"
"Wham! Wham! Wham!"
...
After it all ended...
The Fourth Raikage calmly straightened his clothes.
Killer Bee lay trembling on the ground, looking wronged.
He was a huge man, tall and heavy even among regular people.
But compared to the Raikage, he was just the little brother.
Below, his disciples hung their heads one by one.
They couldn't look!
Absolutely not!
One glance, and their lives could be in danger!
"Bee!"
The Raikage's voice was low. "I have something to ask you."
"Big bro, go ahead!"
Killer Bee's voice was small.
Mainly because he didn't dare speak loudly.
His body hurt!
When the Raikage hit, he didn't know how to hold back.
"It's about Yugito."
The Raikage turned, looking at Killer Bee, his voice deep, "Do you think Yugito could become a perfect Jinchuriki?"
"Of course!"
Killer Bee replied without hesitation, "Any Jinchuriki has the potential to become a perfect Jinchuriki."
The Raikage frowned slightly. "Bee, what do you consider a perfect Jinchuriki?"
For once, Killer Bee was serious—maybe because he feared getting hit again, or maybe the pain left him no room for jokes.
"A perfect Jinchuriki is someone whose will aligns with the Tailed Beast. The Jinchuriki fully accepts the beast, and the beast acknowledges the Jinchuriki. The two form a bond, coexist, and live in harmony."
"That's what makes a perfect Jinchuriki!"
"When Yugito left Cloud Village, she was far from that."
"She could barely use the Tailed Beast's power. That's all."
Killer Bee's voice held no pride, only a hint of sadness.
