"What's the difference between coming here now and not coming at all?"
This thought came to Sandai's mind, but he still expressed his gratitude for the belated reinforcements.
However, Raikage did not have such a good temper and directly questioned the leader of the Kirigakure troops, expressing his deep dissatisfaction.
"Is it the custom of Kirigakure to be late?"
"Your Excellency, aren't you late?" Terumi Mei didn't dare to show weakness in response. He immediately looked at the Third Hokage and asked: "Your Excellency, when will the raid start?"
The Third Hokage sighed softly and said: "The raid has failed, and fighting us is not the full strength of the Akatsuki organization."
Terumi Mei was a little confused, and immediately said: "How could it be possible? I obviously came at the designated time, why did the battle end early?"
The third generation glanced at Terumi Mei and said slowly: "The agreed time for the raid was yesterday."
Raikage also glanced at Terumi Mei coldly. He originally thought that the other party encountered similar obstacles, but he did not expect that the other party actually missed the meeting time and did not even have the most basic concept of time as a ninja.
Terumi Mei fell into deep thought, leaning on a tree nearby and began to think carefully about everything that had happened recently.
She received the order from the Fourth Mizukage, and the Fourth Mizukage, who had a history of being controlled, had to pass inspections in the village every day to ensure that similar things would not happen again.
Because it is impossible to control the fourth generation, and in fact, most of the current government affairs are handled by the elders headed by Yuanshi, there is even less possibility of mistakes.
So why did she receive the wrong time and message?
After pondering for a long time, Terumi Mei asked towards the Third Hokage and the Fourth Raikage: "I'm sorry that Kirigakure is late. So, Hokage and Raikage, shall we continue to raid Amegakure Village?"
Sandai remained silent and immediately shook his head.
A counterattack at this time might catch the Rain Hidden Village by surprise, but there is also the possibility of encountering an ambush by the Akatsuki organization just like last time.
While the Akatsuki organization was prepared, the strength of the raiding force was somewhat insufficient, and the troops that Kumogakure encountered from Iwagakure may also be active within the territory of Amegakure.
If Konoha, as the leader of the coalition, does not intend to continue fighting, the small force led by Mei Terumi will naturally have no need to stay.
The Raikage, on the other hand, showed strong reluctance. Not only did Kumogakure gain nothing, but he also lost the second-tailed Jinchuuriki. However, he also knew the consequences of rushing to attack Kumogakure, so he had no choice but to lead his team to leave.
After returning to the camp, the Third Generation was preparing to evacuate from the Land of Rain. In fact, the injured ninjas in Konoha had already been transferred, and the final evacuation was the Third Generation's responsibility as Hokage.
Before evacuating the territory of the Country of Rain, the third generation took one last look at the forest shrouded in rain and fog, and entered the territory of the Country of Fire. Decades ago, the ninjas of Konoha also left the territory of the Country of Rain because of the leader of Amegakure.
.
I thought that characters like demigods were just a flash in the pan, but after the death of the demigods, the Kingdom of Rain ushered in a god with "immortal eyes".
Although they were only covering the retreat of his subordinates, the Third Generation still felt the powerful strength of the Pains. It was a force that he and Jiraiya could not deal with even if they joined forces.
Perhaps, Amegakure Village, where the Akatsuki organization is located, already has the capital to become the sixth largest ninja village.
Not long after, the third generation met the troops led by Inokacho. Inokacho quickly listened and brought outside intelligence to the Hokage.
The first tail has been taken away by the Akatsuki organization, and they also encountered Beilihu and another person from the Akatsuki organization.
After hearing this information, Sandai was already used to it. Since arriving in the Country of Rain, he has heard no good news, only bad news.
At this time, Jiraiya, who was evacuating with him, also brought information from the village.
Not long ago, the village was also attacked by the Akatsuki organization, including a masked man who caused pain to Konoha. However, what made the third generation gratified was that the village resisted the attack.
"I didn't expect that the village would have to rely on Uchiha in the end. Are Uchiha the only ones left?"
The third generation said words that were inappropriate for his identity, but the ninja next to him automatically filtered the words, as did Inorika Die, who smiled awkwardly but politely.
Looking at the third generation, Jiraiya was also hesitating in his heart, hesitating whether to tell the third generation something.
In the ambush, he felt an extremely familiar aura, whether it was the detonating talisman falling like raindrops, or the group of people with samsara eyes, one of whom looked exactly like Yahiko Payne.
If they were really the three dead children in his memory, would they be the leaders of the Akatsuki organization?
Jiraiya, who finally made up his mind, found some time and chose to inform the third generation of information.
"Old man, the leader of the Akatsuki organization is most likely the children I taught back then..."
After the third generation heard this information, he suddenly realized that when he mentioned the three children, Jiraiya's guilty look was exactly the same as his.
After a pause, the third generation looked at Jiraiya and said: "So, there are many members of the Akatsuki organization who were taught by us in Konoha..."
After learning this information, the Third Hokage felt mixed feelings.
Nowadays, Hirohu and Orochimaru within the Akatsuki organization are all rebel ninjas of Konoha. Even the leader was once a member of Konoha, but now he has become the enemy of Konoha.
At this time, Jiraiya hesitated and said: "Old man, I hope to go to Yuyin Village to persuade Yahiko and the others to see if I can change their minds."
Changed his mind and joined Konoha.
When he thought of those powerful ninjas from the Akatsuki organization becoming members of Konoha, the Third Hokage began to draw a blueprint in his mind. With them, Konoha's status would be as stable as Mount Tai.
But the third generation did not lose the ability to think calmly. He looked at Jiraiya and said: "Since they didn't take the initiative to find you, it means that they want to let go of the past. You can only die in vain in the past."
Jiraiya responded, he also understood that what Sandai said was somewhat true, and he stopped mentioning the matter.
The third generation did not tell anyone else about this secret conversation, not even Nara Shikaku, who was a staff officer.
And after knowing the fate between the Akatsuki organization and Jiraiya, the third generation still thought from time to time how wonderful it would be if Konoha didn't rebel against Ninja.
On the way back to the village, the Third Generation and Jiraiya received information one after another, most of which were from Sunagakure, mainly complaining about being poor and weak, and asking for help from Konoha.
After hearing this information, the third generation psychologically understood that the alliance, which originally had gaps, would become looser, but as long as the Akatsuki organization's target was still on the tailed beasts.
The contradiction between the Akatsuki organization and the five major countries is irreconcilable, even for the stubborn Iwagakure.
It took a week, but the heavily injured assault force finally arrived at the village.
