Inside the Kumogakure Commander's tent.
“Have you found the body?” Ginkaku asked in a low voice.
“Commander, the First Raikage’s body has been brought.”
“Leave the First Raikage’s body in the camp and spread the news of his assassination.” Ginkaku waved his hand, signaling his subordinate to leave.
“Brother, aren’t you afraid of exposing the matter by doing this?” Kinkaku looked worried.
The two brothers had already legitimately become the battlefield Commanders, so there was no need to risk publicly displaying the First Raikage’s body.
If the matter were to be exposed, it would be troublesome.
“Brother, only when the Village’s Ninja know of the Raikage’s death will they obey our orders and launch an attack on Konoha.”
Ginkaku explained earnestly, “If we point the finger at Konoha Ninja, we can use the excuse of avenging the Raikage to make these guys fight for us!”
“Brother, you’re truly too smart!” Kinkaku said with admiration.
Although they had launched a coup and become the battlefield Commanders, many people still didn’t accept them.
Only by this method could they be united.
For the fierce and warlike brothers, this was definitely a good idea!
They would be able to lead the enraged Kumogakure Ninja to attack Konoha.
“Konoha” killed the Raikage, and Kumogakure Ninja would never let it go.
The war would definitely last longer, and they would be able to kill at will.
“Commander, something’s wrong!”
Just then, an anxious voice from a subordinate came from outside the camp.
The two brothers exchanged a look, then walked out of the tent, preparing to begin their performance.
Many people had already come out to watch, all wanting to know what had happened.
Could it be that Raikage had returned?
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Ginkaku and Kinkaku, who had walked out, with schadenfreude.
If Raikage returned, these two would definitely be finished!
Launching a rebellion and seizing power was a capital offense…
“What’s all the fuss about? What happened?” Ginkaku questioned loudly.
The subordinate knelt on the ground, his voice trembling, “Commander… we found… we found…”
This guy’s acting was truly good, immediately piquing everyone’s curiosity.
“You, what exactly did you find?!” Kinkaku kicked him to the ground, “Explain it to us clearly!”
The subordinate quickly got up from the ground and reported, “While we were on patrol, we found Raikage’s body…”
“What?!”
At these words, everyone present widened their eyes in shock, and even Ginkaku and Kinkaku had a look of seeing a ghost.
Ginkaku suddenly grabbed his subordinate’s collar and questioned loudly, “Do you know what you’re saying? How could Raikage possibly die?!”
“That’s right, with Raikage’s strength, who could kill him?” Kinkaku echoed.
The shock on the surrounding Ninja’s faces gradually disappeared; they clearly agreed with this statement.
But what happened next left them stunned in place.
“Two Commanders, I brought Raikage’s body back!”
Before he finished speaking, the subordinate pulled a scroll from his waist and quickly opened it.
As the white smoke dissipated, the First Raikage’s body appeared on the ground.
Everyone stared at the body on the ground, their faces filled with horror.
“This… how is this possible?!”
“Raikage… is really dead…”
“Bastards, who did this?!” Ginkaku roared in anger, red Chakra constantly overflowing.
“Brother, calm down!” Kinkaku quickly stopped Ginkaku, while also signaling to his subordinate with his eyes.
The subordinate immediately understood and quickly explained, “When I arrived, I found traces of Konoha Ninja. Raikage’s death is inseparable from Konoha!”
Hearing this, the Kumogakure Ninja clenched their fists in anger.
The Raikage’s death made them lose their minds; no one doubted the truth of the news.
At this moment, they only wanted to destroy Konoha to avenge the Raikage!
The two brothers saw this scene and revealed smiles of a successful scheme.
“Brother, we must avenge Raikage!”
Kinkaku’s words were met with everyone’s agreement…
“My brother is right, we must avenge Raikage!”
Ginkaku’s gaze swept over the angry Kumogakure Ninja, “Kinkaku and I will personally go to the battlefield to avenge Raikage. Who is willing to go with me?”
“We are willing to go with you!”
Countless Kumogakure Ninja stood out, willing to participate in the battle.
Even those who were unhappy with the two brothers were no exception…
“All troops, listen to my command! Now, launch a full-scale attack on Konoha!”
Within one day, Konoha killed Raikage and Raikage’s personal guards!
This grudge must be avenged!
Countless Cloud Ninja left the camp and rushed towards the Konoha Camp.
At the very front of the team, the two brothers showed ecstatic expressions; the plan was proceeding smoothly!
… … … … … … … …
Konoha Camp.
Nara Commander looked at the intelligence transmitted by the reconnaissance team, unable to believe it, and looked at it three more times.
“The First Raikage was killed by Konoha Ninja, and Kumogakure Ninja are launching a full-scale attack?!”
Konoha Ninja killed the First Raikage?
What a joke!
Nara Commander had been on the battlefield for so long, and this was the first time he had heard such an outrageous thing.
The Northeast Battlefield had never seen the First Raikage, let alone killed him.
Such a feat of taking someone’s head amidst an army, even Hokage-sama would probably find it difficult to achieve.
Let alone the Konoha Ninja on the battlefield.
If they truly had such strength, the war would not have lasted so long.
Now that Kumogakure Ninja were launching a full-scale attack, he no longer dwelled on this matter and immediately mobilized Ninja to the front lines to resist Kumogakure Ninja’s attack.
The Ninja in the camp, upon hearing the news, quickly got ready and headed to the battlefield.
Renye and the other injured temporarily did not need to participate in the battle.
As the war began, the few of them lost their sleepiness and left their tents.
As soon as they left their tents, they encountered Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.
So, everyone sat around the bonfire, guessing Kumogakure Ninja’s intentions.
“Kumogakure Ninja retreated during the day, so why are they attacking again at night?” Hiruzen Sarutobi looked puzzled.
Utatane Koharu shook her head, “I don’t know…”
Danzo Shimura snorted, “I think Kumogakure Ninja don’t learn from their mistakes! To deal with such guys, you need to thoroughly beat them into submission!”
“Danzo is right, only by making them feel the pain will the war end.” Uchiha Kagami agreed.
Everyone’s gaze fell on Renye, wanting to hear his thoughts.
“Renye-kun, what do you think?” Utatane Koharu asked.
“I’m thinking, what’s their reason for attacking?” Renye said softly.
Hearing this, the few of them fell into thought.
Logically, Kumogakure had just suffered a defeat and needed to recuperate; they shouldn’t launch a war in a short time.
Something unknown must have happened in between…
A voice from not far away answered their doubts.
“Because the First Raikage is dead.”
Nara Commander rubbed his temples, feeling a headache, and walked towards Renye and the others.
“The First Raikage is dead?!”
