Chapter 125 (1/2)
Upon learning that the Third Raikage had been killed by Yeruashi, the Third Hokage immediately mobilized all forces to launch a full-scale attack on Kumo.
Although Hiruzen does not show sufficient determination and rigidity in some matters, such as in the case of the assassination attempt by Danzo, but as one of the strongest Shinobi in the world, who dominated the battlefields of the Second World War Shinobi, he is able to take tough and decisive measures in wartime.
Konoha's forces attacked Kumo's camp.
The Kumo Shinobi did not yet know about the death of their Raikage, but due to the fact that A. B. Konbi and the Third Raikage were absent, Dodai, who took over the temporary command, chose the safest approach, refusing to clash with Konoha and retreating.
Only a small number of wounded remained in the camp, each of them using suicidal means to inflict damage on the invading Konoha forces.
In the end.
After losing their frontline camp, the Kumo forces were forced to retreat to the Land of Lightning and wait for news from the Third Raikage and A. B. Conby.
About two days later, A and Killer B reunited with Kumo's forces.
Although due to the early evacuation and the transfer of supplies through the Sky Transfer Technique, Kumo's losses were not too great, but the temporary camp still had an extremely unsettled atmosphere, because, so far, no news had been received from the Third Raikage.
One day...
Two days...
Three days...
After three days of waiting, the scouts sent to the Land of Fire were finally able to get information.
The third Raikage is dead!
Killed by Konoha's Silver Flash!
This sad news depressed Dodai, the recovering Ei and the others, although after three days of waiting, they already had very bad assumptions, but the news of the death of the Third Raikage, in any case, was a strong blow for everyone.
Countless Kumo shinobi were shocked and couldn't believe it.
How could such a powerful shinobi, who was considered the strongest Raikage in history, fall at the hands of Konoha's Silver Flash?! As far as we know, this guy is only eleven years old!
The Kumo forces did not collapse after the loss of their Raikage, because this happened before, although this news greatly shocked their ranks, but the Kumo shinobi, famous for their inflexibility and belligerence, quickly recovered and restored order, under the skillful leadership of Dodai.
The unexpected death of the Third Raikage also affected his son's position, but Ei relied on his overwhelming strength to gain the unanimous approval of the upper strata of the village and take over as Interim Raikage, and later, after holding an official meeting with the Daimyo of Lightning Country, he would become the new Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure.
In the central tent of the Kumogakure temporary camp.
The shinobi of the communications department handed the doc.u.ment to Ei and began the report.
”Lord Raikage, Konoha has expressed a d.e.s.i.r.e to negotiate and intends to end the war, they demand that we withdraw our troops and no longer invade the Land of Fire, as well as they have requested large war reparations....”
Ay wasn't going to listen to this until the end, he looked at the scroll with the offer of negotiations and tore it up in a rude manner.
Phew! Phew!!
Pieces of the torn scroll fell to the floor.
Raikage clenched his fists tightly, looked in the direction of the border of the Land of Fire and said fiercely: ”I'm not going to listen to any shit!!”
”Inform Konoha that I demand the Silver Flash be handed over immediately!! Otherwise, we will fight to the last drop of blood, and we will never bow our heads to them!”
