Chương 233: Direction of the Land of Thunder
The declaration of war made by a mysterious figure calling himself Uchiha Madara caused everyone present to feel nervous and uneasy.
"Hmph, just as I thought... The capture of the Bijuu was carried out by the Village of Konoha." Onoki coldly snorted, immediately assuming a stance ready to attack at any moment.
In fact, he had previously witnessed Madara's awe-inspiring style. The powerful figure from the other side had left a lasting impression on him, becoming an indelible shadow.
At that time, he was still a young man who had just become a ninja. Back then, he followed his teacher, the Second Tsuchikage Mu, to the Village of Konoha to seek an alliance between the two sides.
But in the end, they were driven out alone by Madara, and even thrown to the ground.
However, today was different from the past. The Onoki standing here now was no longer a young man just starting out and ignorant of the world.
He was now the Third Tsuchikage and was the one who controlled the unique Kekkei Tota Dust Release in the world.
Onoki looked at the mysterious man in front of him, his heart filled with doubt.
Although the hairstyle was very similar to the Madara he remembered, his face was obscured and not clearly visible, and his body shape was also different, making it difficult for Onoki to determine if this person was the real Madara.
However, he was very confident in his dust element. He was certain that no matter whether the person in front of him was truly Madara, there was no way he could escape unscathed.
At the same time, Ai beside him also sensed the tension in the atmosphere and immediately released a powerful chakra, always ready to enter lightning chakra mode and engage in battle.
The aura emanating from the two Kage swept through the entire conference room like a strong wind, causing everyone present to feel an invisible pressure.
Seeing this, Mifune, the leader of the samurai of the Iron Country, unsheathed the sword from his waist without hesitation and took a ready stance.
Although he had no intention of participating in the dispute between ninjas, as the ruler of this place, he had to show the appropriate attitude.
The leader of Takigakure quietly retreated a few steps. It was clear that he did not want to be associated with the person rumored to be the legendary Uchiha Madara, and he did not want to take any rash actions.
However, the angel of Amegakure just stood there quietly, her beautiful eyes now as calm as a tranquil lake, as if everything happening around her had nothing to do with her.
Obito sneered menacingly, "You should save your chakra for the real battle."
As soon as his voice dropped, strange, distorted spatial fluctuations appeared around his body again.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Ai roared angrily, and his entire body immediately flashed with blinding lightning as he rushed toward the opponent at an astonishing speed, but to his surprise, his attack completely missed.
The enemy, who had originally been standing at the conference table, now seemed like an illusory shadow, letting his attack pass through him.
Onoki hovered in the air. He opened his hands and performed his unique technique.
"[Jinton: Genkai Hakuri no Jutsu]."
This technique was pioneered by the Second Tsuchikage. It required the integration of three chakra attributes—wind, fire, and earth—to form the incredibly powerful Dust Element.
A transparent barrier that could change shape freely formed in Onoki's hands and was shot toward the enemy.
Once hit by this barrier, the enemy would be broken down to their most basic atomic state and obliterated.
The transparent white barrier enveloped Obito, and Onoki thought that no matter how strange his methods were, the other party could not escape the fate of death.
However, when the white light dissipated and the dust and smoke spread, a large square hole was neatly cut into the ground. The black-robed, orange-masked Obito was still safe and sound, mocking their inability.
"Since you took the first move, I'll leave you a gift." Obito said coldly.
As his words fell, he quickly formed a seal with his hands and quietly uttered, "[Katon: Bakufū Ranbu]."
The space that had been peaceful suddenly became violently distorted, and flames swept through like crashing waves. These flames swirled and intertwined in the air, eventually forming a massive whirlpool that seemed to swallow everything. In the blink of an eye, the raging flames filled the entire conference room, and the scorching heat made everyone gasp. But at that moment, Obito's figure vanished like a ghost.
Facing this sudden attack, everyone had different expressions, but they all used their own methods to try to resist.
Although everyone tried their best, the enemy's power was too terrifying, and their efforts only managed to delay the destruction of the conference room.
Finally, with a loud, earth-shaking crash, the entire conference room collapsed completely and turned into ruins.
Amidst the smoke and dust-filled ruins, Onoki and Ai stood up with difficulty and looked at each other. They knew in their hearts that when faced with such a powerful enemy, if they continued to fight each other, it would only make the situation worse.
As a result, the two decided to temporarily set aside their past grudges and discuss a solution together.
At this moment, Uchiha Madara appeared and openly declared war on the ninja world in the name of Konoha, which undoubtedly brought unprecedented pressure to the other villages.
The already tense atmosphere in the ninja world suddenly became even more intense. Several village leaders present realized that the situation was already very serious, and they needed to immediately adjust their strategies to prepare for the upcoming war.
Mifune prepared a large and bright conference room for them.
After a long, deep, and intense discussion, Onoki and Ai finally made an important decision: to sign an anti-Konoha pact and invite Takigakure and Amegakure to join.
With Mifune as a witness, the four nations officially signed this historic anti-Konoha pact.
The core clause clearly stated that all nations within the alliance must respect each other and, at the same time, refrain from aggression, considering the capture of the Bijuu. With the current situation of each nation's interests being damaged and Uchiha Madara's declaration of war, it was necessary to conduct a fair war against Konoha to seek justice.
This shocking news was like a bomb reaching the Village of Konoha, instantly causing an uproar.
Regardless of whether the mysterious Uchiha Madara was real or not, judging from the disappearance of the Bijuu, it was clear that Konoha experienced the Kyuubi Rebellion earlier than other countries.
This fact fully proved that the evil deeds committed by Uchiha Madara had nothing to do with Konoha.
However, international relations are very complex, and often only a simple reason is needed to trigger fierce conflicts or even wars between nations.
And behind this complicated facade, what actually drives all parties to take action is often the intricate web of interests hidden beneath.
Faced with this sudden and unjust disaster, Konoha had no choice but to stand up and face the challenge.
The first person to bear the brunt was Shintaro, who quickly issued a serious statement: Uchiha Madara, who openly declared war, could never represent Konoha.
In fact, Uchiha Madara had betrayed Konoha and become a fugitive, and the ninja pretending to be Uchiha Madara was undoubtedly one of the traitors and not qualified to declare war on behalf of Konoha.
Soon after, Shintaro began to face relentless allied attacks and conducted a series of deployments in an orderly manner. He resolutely sent three elite troops to fight the enemy and immediately called on the Sunagakure and Kirigakure allies to cooperate in defending against the enemy.
At this point, the thrilling Fourth Ninja World War officially began.
The battle was primarily distributed in three main directions: the Land of Thunder, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Rain.
In comparison, the Land of Waterfall was weak and completely unable to support one battlefield on its own, so it had to send several ninjas to reinforce the other three battlefields.
In front of the Land of Thunder, after careful consideration, Shintaro decided to send an elite team to face the enemy.
He carefully selected Shisui, Itachi, Izumi, and Asuma, strong ninjas with their own strengths, to lead the troops and arranged for the Kirigakure Village, led by Terumi Mei, to provide support.
Shisui was renowned for his exceptional [Shunsin no Jutsu], and his speed was no less than that of the figure known as the "Yellow Flash."
In this way, he was fully capable of engaging in a tense battle with the Fourth Raikage, who also had extraordinary speed.
Asuma mastered powerful wind element ninjutsu, which had a great restraining effect on the Kumogakure ninja, who were skilled in lightning element ninjutsu.
With his Wind Element Ninjutsu, Asuma could easily break through the Taijutsu defenses of the Thunder Element Ninjas, which the Kumogakure Ninjas prided themselves on.
Itachi and Izumi were both experts in genjutsu, and their abilities became one of the effective ways to break the Thunder Element Taijutsu, which was the specialty of the Kumogakure ninja.
In addition, the ninja of Kirigakure Village, led by Terumi Mei, will fight alongside the ninja of Konoha Village. They can not only play a role in engaging the military forces of Kumogakure Village, but also collaborate with each other to exert greater combat effectiveness.
At this moment, the Land of Lightning will face immense pressure from Konoha Village, which is doing its utmost to attack.
As the leader of Kumogakure Village, the Fourth Raikage's status as commander is unquestionable, but the former Killer Bee, Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails, who was supposed to be a victim of Uchiha Madara, was lucky enough to escape despite losing the Eight-Tails. Now he also joins this battle and becomes one of the two core commanders of the Kumogakure forces.
Even though the Fourth Raikage lost his arm, his strength cannot be underestimated. His entire body is filled with powerful Lightning Chakra. This power not only makes him an indestructible spear that can easily pierce enemy defenses but also serves as an unbreakable shield that can withstand any attack.
Killer Bee has not become weaker after losing the Hachibi. On the contrary, his exceptional swordsmanship and mastery of Lightning Element Ninja Taijutsu make him a formidable opponent.
The relationship between these two is very special. Although not biological brothers, their friendship is as deep as that of siblings.
After the Third Ninja World War, the conflict did not subside, and the fighting continued. To protect the village, the Third Raikage eventually died of exhaustion.
Ai was desperate and determined to take on the responsibility of Raikage, using his own life to protect the village and the entire country. Following the legacy of the Third Raikage, he asked Killer Bee to undergo special training and vowed not to let anyone harm him. After that, he issued a strict order forbidding Killer Bee from leaving the village.
However, things are always unpredictable. Uchiha Madara's declaration of war put unprecedented pressure on Ai, and he truly felt that the village was in danger of destruction.
In desperation, he could only bring Killer Bee to the frontlines, but to ensure Killer Bee's safety, he only allowed him to stay by his side.
"Brother, was the Hachibi really taken by Uchiha Madara from Konoha? That man is a legend. We have to fight both Konoha and Uchiha Madara at the same time. What should we do?"
Killer Bee stood at the frontlines of the battlefield, his heart full of worries. He, who once loved rap, had lost interest at this moment.
After all, the strength of Konoha Ninja Village far surpasses that of Kumogakure Village. If Madara is added to the mix, Killer Bee is certainly worried about the fate of Kumogakure Village. He secretly thought: Could it be that our actions this time are seeking death?
However, Ai, who seemed reckless and rough on the surface, actually had a mature plan in his heart.
"Uchiha Madara is a traitor to Konoha. This time he seized the Bijuu and declared war on the entire ninja world; it can't just be for Konoha's benefit. It must be to fulfill his own ambitions."
"So Uchiha Madara is not our enemy."
"Madara's goal is the Bijuu. The only Bijuu left is Konoha's Kyuubi, and Konoha is strong, so he uses us as a blade to weaken Konoha."
"But I'm also pleased with it. In the Third Ninja World War, both my arm and the Hachibi were lost because of Konoha's Fifth Hokage."
"So this time we want revenge. Even if we are used as a blade by Madara, we will still inflict irreparable damage on Konoha and then watch Konoha tear itself apart."
Ai knew that he had to maintain absolute calm and rationality, but when he truly faced Konoha's overwhelming strength on the battlefield, he couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness rising in his heart.
Konoha's strength far exceeded what Kumogakure Village could match. Even though they only sent a portion of their forces, its power was enough to compete with the entire Kumogakure Village.
❀❀❀
At this moment, Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Izumi, Sarutobi Asuma, and the Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei from Kirigakure Village led a group of ninjas in preparation.
Shisui and Asuma joined forces, and their combined strength was enough to withstand the Fourth Raikage's chakra mode attacks and defense.
On the other side, the couple Itachi and Izumi also displayed exceptional teamwork. Together, they successfully mitigated Killer Bee's attacks.
Terumi Mei also lent her support, making the situation on the battlefield increasingly favorable for Konoha and its allies.
