Chương 287: Before The War

The northern frontline, Mist Secret Camp at the border of the Country of Frost.

The third generation Raikage stood at the edge of the camp and looked into the distance.

Behind him stood a few higher-ups of Mist Anbu who were full of expectation.

One of the higher-ups looked at the back of the third generation Raikage and said in a deep voice,

Lord Raikage, the team we sent out these past few days has already taken down several strongholds at the border of Fire Country.

That Uchiha Tunan has not even appeared.

It seems that the information we obtained before is likely to be true.

Should we try to attack the army?

The 3rd Raikage narrowed his eyes, thinking about the private battle between Uchiha Tunan and himself.

Combined with the recent news that the Hidden Cloud spies had obtained from Konoha that Uchiha Tunan had serious side effects and was seriously injured.

With an expression that seemed to see through everything, he said:

"I think this information is probably a trap that Konoha set for me. They want to catch us all."

The higher-ups were stunned when they heard this, but they felt that the third generation Raikage today seemed to have become a different person.

If it was in the past, it would have definitely been a shootout. Why did it start to suspect the intelligence today?

Could it be that he was afraid of being beaten by the other party in the arena last time?

The higher-ups carefully said,

"But, if the information is false, why didn't Uchiha Tunan lead Konoha's Ninjas to attack while you were injured to increase the results of the battle?"

The 3rd Raikage turned his head and looked at the higher-ups meaningfully. He said lightly, "You don't understand."

Then, he took a deep breath and looked at the two shadows that were moving quickly toward Hidden Cloud Camp.

"This is the thinking of the strong. I can understand it."

The higher-ups behind him listened to the Third Generation Raikage's pretentious words.

Confusion appeared on their faces.

If you can understand, we can't understand.

Soon,

The two figures in the distance arrived in front of the third generation Thunder Shadow.

But seeing the quasi-fourth generation Raikage Ai said with an excited face:

"Father, today I easily took down a stronghold. That Uchiha Tunan did not appear at all."

The third generation Raikage nodded indifferently and said, "He still hasn't appeared?"

It seemed that he didn't care much about these strongholds.

When Ai heard this, he immediately used his brain, which was not very commonly used, to think for a moment. He nodded in agreement and said,

"So that's how it is. Then, should we still attack?"

When Third Generation Raikage saw that his son was thinking the same way as him, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder. He said with satisfaction,

"You are a smart person. You should believe in your own judgment. We..."

At this moment, a Hidden Cloud Anbu Group rushed over from the back of Hidden Cloud Camp.

"Lord Raikage! Found it, found it."

The Anbu of Hidden Cloud appeared next to the Third Generation Raikage, gasping for breath while kneeling on one knee and presenting a scroll.

"Huff... huff... This is the information found in the village's secret database about Uchiha's clan. It was recorded during the Warring States Period. Take a look."

The Third Generation Raikage took the scroll and shook it in his hand. He said lightly, " It's good to understand it. Don't be so reckless in the future. You must be steady."

The Anbu Group member nodded blankly.

Only then did the Third Generation Raikage open the scroll and read the information on the top.

Suddenly, the Third Generation Raikage's eyes widened like copper bells. He leaned his head close to the scroll and muttered,

"The more times you use it, the more you will gradually lose your sight."

Was this really an after-effect?

The body of the third generation Raikage started to tremble.

Immediately, a hint of anger appeared on his face, and lightning flashed around his body. He tore the scroll apart with both hands.

Damn it. He was frightened.

Looking at his father's expression, Ai was completely unable to understand what was wrong with him.

He scratched his head and asked, "Father, let's go next."

The muscles of the third generation Thunder Shadow bulged, instantly shattering the remaining bandages on his body. He waved his hand and said,

"Attack! Immediately assemble the troops and attack Konoha's camp!"

Seeing the furious appearance of the 3rd Raikage, Ai immediately said in a deep voice: "Yes!"

Soon, the entire Hidden Cloud Camp became noisy.

The 3rd Raikage looked in the direction of Konoha's camp, his face showing a fanatical expression:

"Although I took advantage of you, this time I will smash you into the ground."

At the same time.

Uchiha Tunan, who had just returned to Konoha's camp, had gathered many higher-ups to discuss how to attack Hidden Cloud.

This war no longer had much meaning for Uchiha Tunan.

He was prepared to cut a wave of crops before he left and find a reason for himself to leave.

In the tent of the Commander in Chief.

The higher-ups stood in a row and watched Uchiha Tunan who was sitting in the main seat with reverence in their eyes.

After all, ever since Uchiha Tunan personally went to Hidden Cloud to carry out the assassination.

No one in Konoha has gone missing.

Uchiha Tunan tapped his finger on the table, sweeping through the information that came from Konoha during this period of time, and leisurely said:

"This is already the fifth command from the Hokage!"

It seems that the pressure on the other fronts is very great. We have to Hidden Cloud head-on.

The expressions of the higher-ups turned ugly as they said,

"But... we can't beat Hidden Cloud in a frontal battle right now."

"Yeah, our high-end combat strength is severely lacking right now. Isn't this just sending ourselves to our deaths for nothing?"

"Mr. Tunan, please think of a way to persuade him."

........

Uchiha Tunan glanced at the higher-ups who were already scared before the battle, and said coldly,

This is the decision of the Hokage.

Ninjas are tools to carry out missions.

We must obey the Hokage.

Before, my injury was not completely healed.

Now my injury is almost healed, and I can't continue to delay.

I don't want to betray the village.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the line, they carefully said,

"Lord Tunan, why don't we try to explain our situation to the Hokage? I think he won't let us die in vain."

"Bang!"

Uchiha Tunan slammed the table, stood up, and shouted,

"It has been explained very clearly. Are you questioning the decision of the Hokage sama?"

Shimura Jiuhe was immediately shocked and retracted his head. He trembled and said, "No. I don't dare."

But he saw a determined expression on Uchiha Tunan's face and said,

Even if it is really suicide, we have no other choice.

We are just tools, even if it is really the Hokage sama who made a mistake, we can only blame our bad luck.

Now, immediately gather all the combat personnel and head to the Land of Frost in half an hour.

The head of the medical group looked worried. "Mr. Tunan, isn't this too hasty? Aren't we going to use a strategy?"

Uchiha Tunan coldly stared at the medical class monitor and coldly said,

"This is the strategy that the Hokage sama has given us. Are you questioning the order of the Hokage?"

"I..." The medical class monitor instantly became speechless.

In his heart, he secretly cursed Uchiha Tunan for being stubborn and inflexible.

At the same time, a strong resentment arose in Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had issued the command.

Uchiha Tunan looked at the higher-ups who stood still in their original positions, took a deep breath, and slowly sat down.

He took out a pen and paper from his ninja bag, and wrote something on the paper while saying in a low voice,

"I will give you another half an hour to explain the situation to everyone, and by the way, let everyone write their will."

When the time comes, I will activate the forbidden technique and see if I can perish together with the third generation Raikage.

All of the higher-ups were almost at Jounin's level, so they naturally saw that the thing Uchiha Tunan was writing was the will.

In addition, when they heard that Uchiha Tunan was going to perish together with the third generation Raikage, all of them immediately revealed sorrowful expressions and responded, "Yes."
