On the other side of Konoha, the known shadow-level powerhouses include the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru, and Tohsaka Kirito. However, according to their intelligence analysis, the two powerful families of Konoha, the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan,

Nine times out of ten within the ninja clan there are shadow-level experts.

In other words, there are five shadow-level combat powers in Konoha.

Among the five Kage-level combatants, Tohsaka Kirito is a hurdle that is difficult to overcome. It is estimated that he will have to contain this Konoha genius with astonishing combat power, at least he and Buru will be able to keep a close eye on him.

But in this way, his son and the two two-tailed jinchuriki, Yuzukimaru, would face the pressure of four Kage-level powerhouses, and they had to be prepared to fight one against two.

The good news is that the Uchiha clan is not trusted within Konoha, and there is a high probability that the Uchiha clan's Kage-level experts will not be sent to the battlefield.

The members of the Hyuga clan are conservative and fearful of death, and will most likely not go to the battlefield.

There is also the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen who personally wants to stay in Konoha. Unless they Kumogakure hits Konoha Hidden Village, he will most likely not go to the front line.

However, it is impossible for them on Kumogakure's side to send out all the Kage-level combat forces at once. They must leave a housekeeper, and the two Yuzukimaru will stay with Kumogakure.

In this way, the shadow-level combat power of both sides on the battlefield should be considered balanced.

Of course, this is an ideal situation. Once the Kage-level experts from the Uchiha and Hyuga clans are sent to the battlefield, their situation will not be good.

Therefore, he personally thinks that the war with Konoha is about 30-70.

"Three to seven, it seems that Raikage-sama is still too optimistic. According to me, if Kumogakure and Konoha go to war, it would be good to have a 20% chance of winning."

Elui learned the thoughts of the Third Raikage and smiled bitterly again.

"Hey, Elui, no matter how cautious you are, you can't inflate other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. Our Kumogakure's ninja fighting ability is no worse than Konoha's, and our fighting will is even better than theirs."

At this time, the Fourth Raikage couldn't stand Elui's pessimism and said very dissatisfied.

"Then tell me what chance we have of winning once Lord Burubi goes berserk."

Elui was not afraid of the Fourth Raikage, she immediately asked.

When the Fourth Raikage heard this, his momentum instantly weakened, he curled his lips and stopped talking, and his mood suddenly became very depressed.

The same is true for the Third Raikage.

"If we have Sunagakure to help us, our chances of winning will be much greater, but now it is obvious that Sunagakure can no longer play a role in containing Konoha, and Tohsaka Kirito's combat power is too amazing, adding too many variables to our war with Konoha.

, I’m really not optimistic about launching a war against Konoha.”

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Elui continued to analyze rationally.

"If that's the case, then why should we help Sunagakure and not attack Konoha at all?"

The Fourth Raikage asked.

The Third Raikage nodded and motioned for Elui to continue explaining.

Elui still did not answer this question directly, but asked a question that made the Third Raikage a little embarrassed: "Raikage-sama, what do you think of our Kumogakure's reputation in the ninja world?"

Bandit of the ninja world, this is Kumogakure's current specific image in the ninja world.

This shows how bad their Kumogakure's reputation is in the ninja world.

Regarding this, the Third Raikage, Kumogakure's current biggest robber, was self-aware, so he could only smile awkwardly at Elui.

"Lord Raikage, from the current point of view, Konoha is too powerful. It is too difficult to defeat it with the power of Kumogakure alone. We must combine the power of other ninja villages. But if we, Kumogakure, do it now

If we act like adding insult to injury to our allies, who will dare to cooperate with us Kumogakure in the future? Even if our cooperation with Sunagakure this time is kept secret.

Therefore, we must help Sunagakure this time. Even if we fail, we must give other ninja villages a good impression and show that we, Kumogakure, are someone we can cooperate with."

Seeing that the Third Raikage was aware of Kumogakure's reputation, Erui finally revealed the reason why he wanted to help Sunagakure.

When the two of them heard the reasons stated by Elui, they both showed expressions of enlightenment, and finally realized the significance of supporting Sunagakure.

"You're right. We do need to send people to support Chiyo. Although there is a certain risk in supporting her, the rewards are very good. Let me go there myself. If I go, even if I don't kill Chiyo, I still can't help her.

Retreat is more than sufficient."

The Third Raikage thought that what Elui said made sense, and then made a quick decision.

Elui and the Fourth Raikage were shocked when they heard that the Third Raikage was going to save Chiyo personally, and then they subconsciously wanted to object, but they were pushed back by the serious eyes of the Third Raikage.

Both of them knew the temper of the Third Raikage, and when he showed such a look, no matter how much they tried to persuade him, it would be in vain.

...

On the other side, at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain, Konoha is stationed in the military camp here.

Tsunade, the frontline commander, was looking at a piece of information that had just been sent from Konoha with a distressed look on her face. The content of this information was exactly about Kirito's great achievements in the Kingdom of Wind tonight.

"This brat has really hardened his wings. He is becoming more and more disobedient now."

Tsunade threw away the information in her hand and covered her head with her hands, feeling a headache.

Although the content of this information was simple and a piece of good news, the risks contained in it made Tsunade a little frightened.

She personally doesn't know how far Kirito's strength has grown, but as Kirito's sister, she really doesn't want to see Kirito do such risky things.

Also, Kirito did this action without telling her, even from Momo, which made her feel an indescribable sense of loss.

"Tsunade, this little brother of yours is incredible. He has such strength at a young age, but his behavior is too radical. If he is not educated, he will probably become an extreme fighting ninja in the future. He is today

With such a commotion at night, our peace talks between Konoha and Sunagakure will be completely ruined."

There was also Jiraiya, the Sannin, in the room. He picked up the information that Tsunade threw on the ground, and when he looked at it, his expression suddenly changed. He sighed deeply, feeling sorry for the failure of the peace talks.

When Tsunade heard Jiraiya say that about Kirito, she felt a little uncomfortable. She was about to refute, but suddenly turned her head and shouted to the shadow in the corner of the room: "Who is there?"

Jiraiya noticed that there was an uninvited guest in the room, and he and Tsunade tacitly attacked the uninvited guest in the corner.

The next moment, a person who made the two of them feel like they were facing a formidable enemy came out of the shadows.
