"You probably don't know where the Third Raikage came from, do you?"

Yunxiao looked at Jiraiya with a smile.

Now that you mention it...

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya frowned slightly and said, "I really don't know! The Third Raikage appeared out of thin air, probably using the Cloud Village's Heavenly Delivery Technique, right?"

Jiraiya knew a bit about this.

Unlike the Flying Thunder God Technique of Konoha, which can teleport people.

The Cloud Concealment and Heavenly Delivery Technique is even cruder and can generally only be used to teleport items.

If it involves teleporting a person or a living being, most people simply cannot withstand the tearing of space. They are often torn apart during the teleportation process and die instantly.

Only those with exceptionally strong bodies can withstand this kind of teleportation.

The Third Raikage undoubtedly meets the requirements for this kind of teleportation.

"That's right!"

Yunxiao nodded: "Guess again where he teleported from?"

"Uh..."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya sighed and said, "Judging from your question, it's definitely not the Hidden Cloud Village I initially thought. It seems the Third Raikage's previous location was somewhat unusual!"

"Stop keeping me in suspense! Just tell me where he was before!"

Due to the information asymmetry, he simply couldn't guess.

Yunxiao stopped being mysterious and said with a smile, "The Land of Earth!"

"He had previously led several thousand Cloud Ninja to launch a surprise attack on the Land of Earth's rear while Onoki led the majority of Iwa Ninja to the front lines between Konoha and Iwa Ninja!"

"It swept through more than ten towns in the Land of Earth!"

"Wherever they went, they scraped the ground clean, packing up anything of value that could be taken away and shipping it by ship!"

"You're saying that under these circumstances, the Third Raikage suddenly left the front lines! How will Onoki, who has almost learned that his stronghold has been raided, retaliate against the Cloud Ninja who are still in the Land of Earth?"

"Afterwards, upon learning that Kumogakure suffered a crushing defeat in the war against Konoha, and that even the Third Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki were captured, will Onoki seize the opportunity to retaliate against Kumogakure by directly leading his army across the sea to attack the Land of Lightning, giving them a taste of their own medicine?"

It's important to understand that the Land of Earth suffered heavy losses this time.

Four.

Chapter 217

"what?"

Jiraiya was stunned when he heard this: "There's such a thing? The Third Raikage actually raided Onoki's lair!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! I can imagine! With Onoki's stingy and cunning personality, he'll probably be furious!"

"The Hidden Cloud Village and the Land of Lightning are in trouble now! Hahaha!"

This is a good thing!

Jiraiya would love for Iwagakure and Kumogakure to fight to the death.

He hoped for peace in the ninja world, but he was not an idealist.

It is clear that the interests and peace of Konoha and the Land of Fire should be prioritized.

"That's it!"

Yunxiao smiled and shrugged: "So, leaving the Cloud Village with a crippled Third Raikage will at least prevent internal strife between the Cloud Village and the Land of Lightning for the time being, allowing them to work together to fight against the Iwa ninja who are about to attack!"

"Don't forget! Not only have the Cloud Village suffered heavy losses of ninja on our side, but the thousands of Cloud ninja left behind in the Land of Earth are also likely to fare poorly!"

"I wouldn't say they're all wiped out, but more than half of them will definitely be killed or injured! Otherwise, Onoki wouldn't be Onoki."

In the original story, it seems that the Third Raikage held off the remaining 10,000 Iwa ninja, ultimately being worn down to death, which allowed the invading Kumo ninja to successfully withdraw.

Now that the Third Raikage is gone, even if they don't penetrate as deep into enemy territory as in the original story, it's unrealistic to expect them to escape unscathed.

"Are you worried that the Cloud Ninja will be weakened too much and get completely crushed by Onoki?"

Jiraiya was somewhat speechless.

He never expected that Yunxiao had considered things so far ahead.

"hey-hey!"

Yunxiao chuckled and said, "Only by taking a long-term view can we control the overall situation and maximize the benefits for Konoha!"

"I have to talk to you now! You continue to manage things here! I need to go back to Konoha and bring a few people in charge of negotiations! I'm not good at this myself! Neither are you!"

Yunxiao finally saw through Jiraiya.

This guy is heavily influenced by the Third Hokage's "peaceful ideology," so having him negotiate would definitely prevent Konoha from gaining enough benefits.

"Okay! Leave this to me! I can handle this!"

Jiraiya patted his chest and assured him.

To his shame, he had been saved twice by a junior who was considered a grand-disciple. He was getting a little embarrassed!

Immediately, Yunxiao placed the Third Raikage, Killer Bee, in a tent and had Kakashi, Asuma, and the others take turns guarding him.

To prevent the Third Raikage from dying, Yunxiao gave him a thorough examination before leaving, treating some fatal injuries and stopping only after ensuring he wouldn't die within a year.

Then, he directly communicated with the Hokage's office about the Flying Thunder God's coordinates and teleported there in a flash!

On the Iwa ninja battlefield,

"Reporting to Lord Tsuchikage! Something terrible has happened! Three days ago, the Third Raikage of Kumogakure led thousands of ninja troops in a surprise attack on more than ten towns in our rear!"

"Wherever they went, all ninjas and those who resisted were killed! Lord Tsuchikage, please send troops back to reinforce us immediately! It will be too late if we delay any longer!"

A survivor from Iwa, his eyes bloodshot, reported to the Tsuchikage and pleaded for help.

"What did you say?"

Onoki, who was at the Iwa ninja camp, suddenly received such bad news. He jumped up from his seat and felt dizzy. He almost fainted from anger.

"You bastards! Why are you only reporting back now?"

"It's been three days already. Are the intelligence agents in all these towns just eating shit?"

Onoki roared furiously.

This takes three days. Even if we speed up the journey, it would only take two days to get here.

In this situation, why did he insist on delaying the report until the third day?

Onoki was so angry he wanted to kill someone!

The Iwa ninja immediately said with a pained expression, "Lord Tsuchikage! The Kumogakure's attack was too sudden and their preparations were too thorough. They had also sent out a large number of elite ninja squads to set up layers of ambushes on various key roads leading here!"

"Many of their comrades who wanted to report the news were completely caught off guard! As a result, the vast majority of them were ambushed and killed!"

"It was only with the desperate escort of several comrades that I managed to get here through the enemy's ambush!"

"Please, please send troops back to our aid immediately!"

Now is really not the time to dwell on these things.

He was willing to die to atone for his sins, only asking that the Tsuchikage send troops back to reinforce him as soon as possible.

"Cloud Village! You guys are ruthless!"

When Ohnoki heard this, he almost ground his teeth to powder!

Just a month ago, he sent a secret letter to the Raikage, inviting him to take advantage of the current turmoil in Konoha and attack Konoha together.

And this is what the Cloud Village did to him?

Did they just raid his base?

"Immediately relay my orders! Have the demolition unit and the vanguard ninja unit carry a small amount of rations and supplies and set off immediately to aid the Land of Earth and the village!"

"Other units should also immediately assemble and set off to provide the same rapid reinforcement! There is no time to lose! Hurry!!!"

Onoki immediately slammed his hand on the table and gave the order hastily.

"Yes!"

The dozen or so Jonin leading the teams in the command tent all accepted the order and ran out to assemble the troops!

"Father! How should we handle things on the front lines?"

Huang Tu also asked with a solemn expression.

Onoki frowned and immediately decided, "Leave five ten-man squads to guard the border, and at the same time send a ceasefire and peace negotiation note to Konoha!"

"Also, let Elder Incheon stay behind and prepare for peace talks with Konoha!"

"Remember to have him stall for time as much as possible, and make it seem unhurried! So as not to arouse suspicion in Konoha!"

"If Konoha launches a counterattack on our front lines, that would be disastrous! Do you understand?"

Ōnoki was also extremely agitated at this moment.

What was originally a great situation was turned upside down by that group of muscle-bound lunatics from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Onoki was so angry he wanted to kill the Third Raikage.

"Yes, Father! I'll go prepare right away!"

Huang Tu immediately accepted the order.

Ten minutes later, the vanguard, demolition team, and some Anbu members of the Iwa ninja set off one after another to quickly return to provide support.

The other troops also all set off within a day.

Only a few small teams were left on this side of the border.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru at the Konoha camp received a peace letter from a messenger sent by the Iwa ninja half a day later.

"Oh?"

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow in slight surprise: "Peace talks? This is quite interesting! Didn't your Tsuchikage just stand there, ready to start another war with Konoha?"

"Why did they suddenly withdraw their troops and choose to negotiate?"

Upon hearing this, the Iwa ninja messenger's pupils contracted slightly, and he replied somewhat nervously, "That was all a misunderstanding! We were just conducting military exercises as usual..."

"Now that the exercise is over, it's time to withdraw the troops! Hehe!"

Iwa chuckled ingratiatingly.

"Tsk tsk!"

Orochimaru, speechless, said, "Your lie is really poorly told! So what if your rear was attacked by the Third Raikage with thousands of ninja? What's so hard to say?"

"What? How did you know?"

The Iwa ninja suddenly raised his head, staring at Orochimaru in astonishment.

They themselves only received the news half a day ago, so why does it seem like Konoha already knew?

"Could it be that you..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Orochimaru raised his hand to interrupt him, saying, "You can't just say things like that! We're still at war with the Cloud Ninja these days! We don't have time to team up with the Cloud Ninja to deal with you!"

"All I can say is that the Raikage and the Cloud Village have very unusual thought processes; you were simply outmaneuvered!"

He was careless and now he wants to shift the blame onto Konoha?

Think more!

"Too!"

The Iwa ninja also came to his senses.

Indeed, the information they received earlier indicated that the Cloud Ninja were at war with the Leaf Village, led by the Raikage Sasuke, the Raikage's son Aoi Yotsuki, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee, and Yugito Nii, among other high-ranking fighters.

It was precisely because of this performance that they fooled all the Iwa ninja!

Even the cunning and treacherous Tsuchikage, Onoki, was deceived.

"What about the peace talks?"

Iwa ninja asked tentatively, a little nervously.

Clearly, he messed things up.
