125 Chapter 125
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!
However.
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 document to Ei and began the report.
"Lord Raikage, Konoha has expressed a desire 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!"
The Raikage roared furiously.
Shinobi-connected, too, felt the anger and reluctance, the Kumo shinobi can't give up in this situation! It is impossible to admit defeat even if their Raikage has fallen!!
Looking after the departing shinobi messenger, Killer B turned to Ei: "Big brother...."
"Bi! Pass on my order immediately. Now it is not profitable for us to fight Konoha head-on, so we must immediately disperse our forces, if these bastards dare to invade the Land of Lightning, they will have to experience the power and fury of Shinobi Kumo on their own skin!"
The Raikage was extremely determined.
A light flashed in Killer Bee's eyes, he nodded and immediately left the tent to deliver his brother's order.
Dodai sat silently on a chair in the corner of the tent. As he watched the newly minted Raikage give the order, his eyes flashed with endowment and approval.
The hasty occupation of the Raikage post and taking responsibility for Kumogakure on his shoulders, due to the unexpected death of the Third Raikage, made Ei grow up a lot, now he was acting in this way not out of recklessness and hatred for Konoha.
Dispersing forces and continuing the war, at the moment this is the best option, even if the situation is very unfavorable, now Konoha is fighting on three fronts at once and is not ready for a full-scale invasion deep into the Country of Lightning.
They just switched positions, now Konoha attacks and Kumo defends. The Kumo Shinobi will rely on the favorable terrain of Lightning Country to stop the Konoha invasion.
"Silver Flash...I will never forget this shame! I will definitely kill you the next time we meet!!"
Raikage tightly clenched his fists, rage and reluctance flashed in the depths of his eyes, he is already ready to start a period of hellish practice to become stronger and wash away this shame!
...
Konoha's front camp.
In the Central tent was going Hiruzen, Tsunade and other higher layers Konoha's only been out of Erase.
They had already received an adamant refusal to negotiate and Kumo's demand.
This did not come as a surprise to Hiruzen, the Kumo shinobi have always been famous for their belligerent and inflexible character, they would rather die than bow their heads and admit defeat.
This requirement is in fact simply demonstrates their uncompromising attitude.
If Kumo had really intended to negotiate, Raikage would have made a few moderate demands so that the parties could later sit down at the negotiating table.
"What do you think about this?"
Hiruzen looked at the group.
Tsunade said coldly: "Pass Erase Kumo? Hmm, it looks like the Raikage doesn't have the slightest intention of negotiating."
Transfer of Erase in exchange for a peace Treaty.
At the thought of such a development, Hiruzen felt a little flustered.
Now it will be difficult to control Erase, although there have been no problems during the war, but once war ends, there is a strong likelihood that the existence of Erase will lead to dissension and strife within Konoha.
Even Hiruzen may not be confident in their ability to suppress Erase that killed the Third Raikage.
The appearance of such a powerful uncontrolled shinobi inside Konoha, of course, frightened and alerted the Hokage.
If Yeruashi agrees to exchange his life for a peace treaty with Kumo, ending the war on this front, he can immediately send the liberated troops to fight Willow, which will lead to the imminent end of the Third Shinobi World War.
The third World War of Shinobi will end with an unconditional victory of Konoha.
