_____________________________
Konoha had been established for 48 years now.
Although the Third Shinobi World War had recently ended, roughly two years ago, the small friction between the hidden forces in the shadows still continued.
This was especially so for the land of Fire and the Land of Lightning.
However, even if one of the sannin suffers from Hemophobia and the other travels around the world. Konoha still has Orochimaru and the New fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
Konoha possesses a terrifying combat power, capable of repelling the attacks of multiple other villages, coupled with the amazing scouting capabilities of the Hyuga clan's byakugan, the cloud could never gain any ground on them.
However, on October 13th, three days after the birth of the original protagonist Uzumaki Naruto.
A piece of news surprised the Raikage——
The fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, had died!
"Hahaha! Hachiro! B! Have you heard? The golden glitter man is dead! Now, Konoha's only Kage-level ninja is the old man Sarutobi Hiruzen and that disgusting snake Orochimaru!"
In the Raikage's office, A, who had inherited the position of Raikage five years ago, was very excited.
He felt like the stars were out during the day, he shouted.
"Right now, is the best opportunity we will ever have to attack Konoha, rally the troops!"
Opposite the Fourth Raikage, two men were standing.
One was Killer Bee, well known as a [Perfect Jinchūriki], humming a weird rap as he said angrily,
"Aww shit~Bhagayalu~ I'm still here~ I can't go to the battlefield!"
Since the death of the third Raikage, known as the strongest of all Raikage, during the Third Ninja War.
A had strictly forbid his brother B from going to the battlefield restricting him inside the village.
The teenager next to Killer Bee was younger, only 15 years old, with a silver spiky hairstyle from the Raiden clan.
The young man with a handsome face and a impressive body said,
"Calm down, cousin, even though the Fourth Hokage has died, There's still Orochimaru and those Uchiha. They're the nemesis of tailed beasts for a reason. It's better not to start a total war rashly."
Hachiro Raiden, this was his name.
The strongest clan within the confines of the Cloud Shinobi village.
The cousin of the fourth Raikage Ai.
In the Third Shinobi World War, he shined on the battlefield at the age of 12 years old.
Now 15 years old, his lightning style is arguably the best in the world.
His authority was second in the village just behind his cousin.
When the fourth Raikage heard his opinion, he frowned, and felt that he was getting himself worked up.
Recently, the Uchiha had gave rise to a genius called 'Shisui of the Body Flicker', who was very talented.
It was true, he couldn't have the cloud suffering because of a sudden impulse.
"Then... How do you think we can reap some benefits from this opportunity?"
The Fourth Raikage asked.
"Isn't the Byakugan giving you a headache? How about we try and create some tension between the Hyuga clan and the village."
Hachiro smiled.
"Oh? What do you have in mind?"
The Fourth Raikage became interested.
Over to the side of the office, his assistant Mabui and the other advisors couldn't help but prick their ears.
In the original, the head ninja of Kumogakure tried to take Hinata Hyuga from the Leaf village under the guise of an alliance.
Unfortunately, Hyuga Hiashi her father ended up finding the intruder before he could make a quick escape and killed him.
Afterwards, the cloud demanded for the corpse of Hyuga Hiashi claiming he killed their representative unjustly or they would be forced to go to war.
The clouds demands were satisfied, although, in reality the body they thought to be Hiashi's was actually his brother Hizashi's.
Hachiro changed the plan slightly, not enough to make a big difference but a difference, none the less.
He moved the event forward three years earlier and changed the target they were going to demand for to Hinata Hyuga.
It didn't really matter if it didn't succeed or not but whether Konoha's higher management would harm their relationship with their own clan's for the sake of their so called 'peace'
"Worthy of the title shinobi, so very vicious~yeah!"
Killer Bee hummed in praise? or maybe ridicule.
"Hachiro-sama, is this plan feasible?"
The Raikage's secretary, Mabui frowned.
"Long story short, we ask a sick shinobi to attempt to kidnap the recently born daughter of the Hyuga clan's main family and if in the event we are discovered, we threaten them with war and take the Hyuga clan's new born heir. It would be nice if the Hokage didn't try to settle accounts but getting him to take the initiative to hand the child over... Isn't that impossible?"
Tutai also said, "Hachiro-sama, I also think… that the likelihood of this plan succeeding…"
Everyone present was well aware of his combat strength, but no one felt that this plan would really work.
The reason was rather simple, if the other Shinobi villages tried to play this kind of trick with them then the cloud are bound to fight back.
If the opponent really beat one of their own up and asked Kumogakure to hand over someone from their clan's. Nearly everyone in Kumogakure would be out for blood.
"Hahaha! You are looking straight past the old man Hiruzen's true nature. He's 'Hard on the inside and soft on the outside."
Hachiro laughed aloud,
"Anyway, it's not like there is anything to lose, so leave it to me and I promise I'll make a mess of Konoha."
"Um..."
After Fourth Raikage's rough fingers clicked on the desk several times, he nodded and said,
"As long as you don't do anything stupid, you shouldn't be captured. I'll leave sowing discord to you. Also on your way out buy me a plate of Wagashi from Atami, you've got me hungry."
…
…
After leaving the Raikage's office, Hachiro looked at the huge village from above.
The environment and climate of the land of lightning was just as wild as some countries near the equator which was not the best conditions for the growth of crops.
But precisely because of this harsh environment, the ninja developed straightforward fighting styles.
"Although, the environment isn't the best out there, I'd rather this place over Konoha anyday. Spending all day training without worry Is the best."
Hachiro took a deep breath as he stretched lazily.
Fifteen years ago, he had suddenly woke up in Kumogakure.
Unlike in most fanfictions he had read where the protagonist ended up in Konoha, as a shinobi from the Uchiha or Senju clan's.
[The Lightning God system]
[Host: Hachiro Raiden.]
[First template: Enel] [Unlocking degree: 100%] [Second template: Misaka Mikoto] [Unlocking rate: 1.2%]
Immediately, Hachiro turned on his own Cheat, the 'Lightning God System' and nodded.
Well, with his current strength, he could do nearly what ever he wanted in Konoha as long as he didn't cross paths with the Hokage.
If I succeed in kidnapping Hinata from Konoha, the plot is likely to change by quite a lot.
His lips curled up slightly.
This will be interesting.
Note: I changed the MC's clan name to Raiden from Yèyuè. Not sure If I should have.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
