Land of Lightning, Kumogakure.
Because of the public execution of the Third Raikage by the Uzushigakure, the villagers were filled with indignation!
Humiliation!
This was naked humiliation!
One by one, they shouted below the Raikage Building.
"The Uzushigakure must return the Raikage!"
"The Uzushigakure is practically courting death! Send troops to the Uzushigakure!!"
"Save our Raikage!!"
The villagers were filled with righteous indignation.
In fact, these people didn't even know why the Uzushigakure wanted to execute the Raikage.
Not to mention them, probably everyone in the Ninja World who didn't know the inside story was unaware of why the Uzushigakure intended to execute the Raikage.
But they knew that the sky of the Ninja World had changed!
Ai also retreated from the battlefield against the Hollows.
This was because the Kumogakure needed someone capable of managing the overall situation.
As the Raikage Candidate, Ai was the most suitable.
Not only were the villagers of Kumogakure indignant, but the Shinobis also felt humiliated!
They were the Kumogakure of the Land of Lightning, one of the Five Great Nations!
Yet someone dared to publicly execute their Third Raikage!
This was practically a public slap in the face to the Land of Lightning!
Even the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning sent inquiries to the Kumogakure.
They sought clarification on the situation and demanded that the Uzushigakure be taught a lesson!
Not only must the Raikage be returned, but they must also kneel and apologize to the Land of Lightning!!
Pressure from all sides—villagers, Shinobis, and the Daimyo—poured in, giving Ai a throbbing headache.
If anyone wanted to save the Third Raikage the most, it had to be Ai.
That was his father!!
However, he was also clear about the situation in the Land of Lightning.
With the Land of Lightning being harassed by Hollows, how could he deploy troops?
If he deployed troops, what would happen to the Land of Lightning?
Would he just let the Hollows slaughter them?!
Even if his father were rescued by the combined strength of the Land of Lightning,
what then?
The home would be gone!
Even his father, knowing he did this, would probably kick him first upon returning, then drag him along to perish with the Land of Lightning!
The person must be saved, but the Land of Lightning could not be abandoned.
Furthermore, they didn't know the situation in the Uzushigakure; rushing in blindly would likely lead them straight into the enemy's trap.
Moreover, the fact that the Uzushigakure dared to be so high-profile and publicly execute the Raikage proved that they were prepared for the Land of Lightning to send people to rescue him.
The rescue operation required careful planning.
Furthermore, the strength of the Uzushigakure was probably far more terrifying than the intelligence records within the Land of Lightning suggested!
Based on the intelligence transmitted from the Land of Iron, Ai was already aware of the details of the fight between his father and that Captain from the Uzushigakure.
That bizarre ability was simply impossible to guard against!
Even the Black Lightning that his father was most proud of could not defend against the ability enhanced by those game rules!
If just one Captain already possessed this level of strength.
The intelligence on the Uzushigakure reported a total of thirteen Captains!
If every single Captain possessed Kage-level strength, how could the Land of Lightning rescue the Raikage?
Moreover, the problem with the Hollows within the Land of Lightning had not been resolved.
Originally, his father had decided to convene the Five Kage Summit precisely to resolve the Hollow issue within the Land of Lightning.
As a result, the problem wasn't solved, and he got himself captured!
The Uzushigakure is inhuman!
Clearly, the Land of Lightning intended to contribute to the Ninja World!
Yet the Uzushigakure was utterly selfish!
"Prepare the Heavenly Transfer Technique. Send me to the Land of Iron!"
There were still three days until his father's execution.
Given the current state of the Land of Lightning, it was impossible to rescue his father alone.
He had to ask for aid!
The Kage of the other Three Great Shinobi Villages who had not yet left the Land of Iron were his targets for assistance!
Heavenly Transfer Technique.
This was a Secret Technique typically used by Kumogakure to transport supplies during wartime.
Of course, it could also transport people.
However, during transportation, it caused intense tearing, and if the Physical Body was not tough enough, it could instantly be ripped apart.
Currently, the only people who could withstand the Heavenly Transfer Technique, besides the Third Raikage, was Ai, whose Physical Body was equally powerful.
Land of Iron.
The Conference Building.
Ōnoki and the others exchanged glances.
This Uzushigakure truly was reckless!
They were practically grinding the Land of Lightning's face into the dirt!
Did they really think the Land of Lightning had no temper?
However... "Perhaps the Uzushigakure is doing this on purpose?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen speculated.
As one of the victims who had personally witnessed the strength of the Uzushigakure,
he was very clear that in terms of high-level strength, the Uzushigakure did not fear the Land of Lightning at all.
Or rather, the Land of Lightning did not possess as much high-level strength as the Uzushigakure.
Currently, six Captains had already been revealed in the Uzushigakure.
Furthermore, every single one of them had reached Kage-level strength, or even higher!
Not to mention the several other Captains who had yet to appear.
As for the Land of Lightning... he thought carefully.
The Third Raikage was already a prisoner of the Uzushigakure.
The only one capable of taking charge was Ai, the Third Raikage's son.
