Report to Konoha Village

Soon, the war report in the Land of Rice immediately spread to the offices of the heads of the five major villages.

Konoha, Hokage Office.

"Well done! Unexpectedly, We have defeated so many Iwa ninja!"

Listening to the informant brought back by the Konoha ninja in front of them, everyone in the office was refreshed.

"But... do you think the five-tailed Jinchuriki sent by Iwa was really killed by Asakura Hao?"

However, after listening carefully to the report of his ninjas, the Third Hokage couldn't help but frown gently.

"Yes, Hokage-Sama. In this battle on the front line, Asakura Hao has not only used a strange fire summoning beast, but also used an extremely powerful flame release ninjutsu to kill Iwa's five-tails Jinchuriki."

At his desk, a Anbu ninja was kneeling on one knee and truthfully report the battle on the front line.

Iwa's five tails Jinchuriki?!

Hearing the report of the ninja in front of him, the whole Hokage office calmed down strangely.

"The five-tails of Iwagakure? The one that is a famous ninja in the world..."

Koharu next to the Third Hokage suddenly opened her eyes wide, and her tone revealed a trace of incredibleness.

"That's right. Lord Koharu... It's Han, called the 'steam ninja' of Iwagakure."

Facing the doubts of the elder council of Konoha in front of him, the Anbu ninja nodded affirmatively.

"Hiss..."

After receiving an affirmative reply from the Anbu Ninja, everyone present couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Unexpectedly, he killed a ninja like Iwa's five-tailed Jinchuriki Han..."

"I didn't expect him to have reached that level..."

In their muttering to themselves, the figure of Hao could not help but come to the minds of Third Hokage. It was a boy he couldn't see through.

"Well... how can a nine year old have the strength to do this..."

"Hiruzen, it seems that there are still many things your disciple is hiding from us..."

At this time, Danzo present snorted coldly. Although he had seen Hao's rising strength for a long time, he still chose to deliberately mention the matter at this time.

Originally, he planned to coerce Hao to do things for himself through those children and Yakushi Nono in the Konoha Orphanage, but the strength of Hao is constantly showing now has forced Danzo to start to seriously consider the consequences.

However, in the face of Danzo's doubts, the Third Hokage interrupted him rudely. "Anyway, Hao is now an important contributor to the victory of this war..."

"If you have any other questions, let him explain everything to everyone in person after the war is over."

After Third Hokage spoke his words, everyone around him immediately closed their mouths obediently.

Danzo, one of the top elders of Konoha, chose to grasp this matter at this time, his motives seemed extremely suspicious.

Damn...

Feeling the strange eyes of everyone around him, Danzo could only clench his fists with hatred, and there was a great flame of anger in his heart but nowhere to vent.

Country of the Earth, Iwagakure

At this time, The Third Tsuchikage was furious in the office.

"What?!"

"Do you say all the ninjas sent this time were repulsed by Konoha?! And most of them almost died or are injured?!"

After listening to the report of his ninjas..

The angry voice of the short but amazing Third Tsuchikage Onoki filled the whole Tsuchkage office building.

"What about that man? What did he do?!"

Although he is seven years older than Konoha's Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the longest-serving Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, Onoki, known as the "Onoki of two scales" by the ninja world, is not only full of aggression, but also extremely strong.

"H-Han... Lord Han has been killed in battle..."

"This is the news brought back by Lord Kitsuchi's successful retreat of the surviving ninja."

Looking at the angry Third Tsuchikage Onoki, the Iwa Ninja reported below dare not even breath out loud.

"Han was killed in battle?!"

"What a joke! How many ninjas did Konoha send this time?!"

"Killing so many ninjas of us, even Han was killed in action!?"

Onoki, who finally calmed down, went crazy again and stared in disbelief.

"Is it... the Yellow flash..."

"No...impossible... That guy is now being dragged down by Kumo's A-B combo..."

The name that was invincible on the battlefield appeared in his heart for the first time, but Onoki quickly denied this speculation.

Although the Yellow flash of Konoha is powerful, Kumo's A-B combination that dominates the ninja world is not a much worse than him. A, the son of the Third Raikage, plus Killer Bee, the perfect eight-tails Jinchuriki Gyuki, Onoki believes that even Minato Namikaze is not so easy to get out of there.

"Konoha are still the original ninjas. This time, it was mainly Asakura Hao, the recent accepted disciple of the Third Hokage, who rushed to kill most of our ninjas with a strange flame release, including Lord Han, who launched a complete tailed beast body."

The Iwa ninja, who was in front of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, answered truthfully.

"Asakura Hao? Hiruzen's recent accepted disciple?

Hearing this, Onoki took a deep breath and his eyes were cold: "I remember this name. Unexpectedly, after a long war, Konoha was still able to produce such a genius…"

"Although Konoha is as strong as ever, it can't stop the unity of our rock solid will!"

"When Kitsuchi's injury recovers, you let him bring more ninjas, and we will have to win this war!"

After calming down, Onoki said in a low voice, revealing a kind of incomparable firmness to the pursuit of victory.

Unlike the four major countries in internal and external turmoil, the head and ministers of the land of the earth are very united. The Tsuchikage and the Daimyo are equal. They respect each other and get along well with each other. This advantage has played a positive role in this long-term war.

Moreover, Iwagakure in the land of the Earth is famous for its strong defence. It is a top-secret natural fortress formed by many rocky mountains. It has easy-to-defend land benefits, and it is difficult for enemies to attack its interior. However, it is also relatively difficult for them to communicate with the outside world.

Most importantly, Iwagakure in the Kingdom of Earth has the largest number of troops among the five major countries in the ninja world. Iwa, who is united internally and externally, can completely invest more ninjas on the battlefield, which is also one of the confidence that the Third Tsuchikage Onoki had to win the final victory of this war!
