Putting down his hand, the Third Raikage glanced sideways at Dodai, and said without sadness or joy: "Konoha is now facing the siege of four ninja villages at the same time, and the situation can be said to be extremely bad..."
"And whether that village can withstand the pressure, or even reverse the situation, will determine our future strategic layout of Yunyin."
The amount of information conveyed in these two sentences of the Third Raikage was huge. At this moment, not only Todai was thinking, but also Bulubi and Xiao Ai, who were beside them, were also deep in thought, trying to figure out the deep meaning.
Seeing that everyone closed their eyes and thought deeply, no one spoke for a while. Although the Third Raikage's expression did not change, he actually sighed deeply in his heart.
There was only one reason why he changed his original plan: that was because he personally felt the opponent's power during the fight with Lei Luo a few months ago.
Time Ninjutsu This is the summary of Lei Luo's ability in the mind of the Third Raikage. He did not tell anyone about this matter. Even his close confidant Todai and even his son Xiao Ai did not know anything about it.
All they could know was that Raikage was defeated by Jueking and lost one of his hands.
After the battle with Lei Luo, the Third Raikage spent almost every day and night recalling every detail of the fight, and this also allowed him to grasp more things, and he also had a little understanding of Lei Luo's tricks.
learn.
The deletion process leads to the direct result. This is what the Third Raikage concluded about the effects caused by Lei Luo's use of time ninjutsu.
And it was precisely because of this that the Third Raikage was sincerely afraid of Lei Luo, and this fear even penetrated deep into his bones.
If possible, the Third Raikage would like to directly mobilize all the power of Cloud Hidden Village, unite with the other three major ninja villages in the ninja world, use force against Konoha, and directly eradicate Lei Luo, the time warlock.
The third generation Raikage still thinks about the feeling of being deprived of time several times:
There was no reaction, no consciousness, as if the spirit fell into a trance for a moment, and then the scene in the field of vision changed.
The Third Raikage was certain that he had indeed made an action at that time and that time was still flowing, but he just couldn't feel it.
It feels like tens of seconds have been compressed into one second.
All the processes during this period disappeared in silence.
This technique is too weird, too powerful, and there is no way to defend it at all. As long as Lei Luo uses this technique, he will definitely be hit.
The Third Raikage knew that if he didn't have a strong body, the defensive power of the Thunder Armor was the best in the ninja world, and Lei Luo's attack power could not break his physical defense, then...
Just relying on the huge difference in time perception between the two sides, and relying on Lei Luo's technique that can eliminate time, he may have been killed by the other party countless times.
It was precisely because he clearly understood the horror of Rairo Time Ninjutsu that the Third Raikage wanted to get rid of the opponent as soon as possible, just because this kind of enemy was too dangerous and the opponent's ability was too incomprehensible.
According to the intelligence, Lei Luo has just turned eighteen this year, and he already has such extraordinary strength at this age. If he is given another ten or eight years to grow up, he will probably become a Senju Hashirama again.
Therefore, when the Third Raikage first returned to the village, he felt a murderous intention in his heart, and almost had the idea of ​​contacting the other three great ninja villages to have a meeting with the Four Kages.
It wasn't until... more information about Lei Luo was sent to him that the Third Raikage reluctantly stopped this tempting idea.
In the end, after a long period of careful consideration, he changed his plan and kept the information about Lei Luo's abilities secret for the time being. After making the decision to wait and see what happened, he paid more and more attention to Konoha's movements.
Regarding the various factions within Konoha, thanks to the many spies placed by Kumogakure in Konoha, the Third Raikage usually knew about them.
It was because of this that he vaguely realized that Konoha was not monolithic, and Lei Luo was not loyal to Hokage like other Konoha ninjas.
Lei Luo is the subordinate of Konoha elder Danzo, and Danzo often disagrees with the political views of Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage.
In the past year, that is, after Lei Luo joined the Roots, Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen had frequent and fierce quarrels. This was the information sent back by the only spy among their Kumogakure who was stationed in Konoha Anbu.
The Third Raikage was such a person. From just a few clues revealed in the intelligence, he quickly made a judgment:
In other words, sooner or later there will be turmoil within Konoha due to factional conflicts.
As Lei Luo's strength continues to grow, neither Lei Luo nor his superior Danzo will be satisfied with the status suppressed by Hiruzen Sarutobi. They will definitely want to seize higher power, even Hokage.
position.
When you become stronger, you will naturally have the confidence to seek more benefits. This is human nature.
What's more, Danzo and Lei Luo, no matter how you look at these two guys, they don't look like the kind of selfless people.
And will Sarutobi Hiruzen give in? This is even more impossible.
There are powerful enemies such as Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Amegakure on the outside, but the inside is not monolithic and has turbulent undercurrents.
The Third Raikage clearly saw the crisis Konoha was facing now, so he was not anxious anymore.
At this time, movement is worse than silence. Instead of recklessly following their enemy Iwagakure to deal with Konoha, it is better to observe this 1v4 ninja war first.
If Konoha is destroyed by the four-village coalition...
The Third Raikage felt that with Lei Luo's weird and unpredictable time ninjutsu and the self-interested character described in the intelligence, even if everyone in Konoha died, Lei Luo would probably not die.
At that time, it was up to them, Kumogakure, to gather the strength of the entire village to try to capture Lei Luo, the time magician, and then study the secrets of time ninjutsu.
If Konoha successfully survives this crisis...
Then, they, Kumogakure, might try to contact Lei Luo, and even provide a certain degree of support to actively trigger unrest in Konoha.
No matter who becomes the Hokage of Konoha in the end, this move can not only weaken Konoha's strength, but also turn enemies into friends with Lei Luo, and then use each other's power to jointly deal with Iwagakure.
.
If it weren't for Lei Luo, Konoha would never have been Kumogakure's enemy from the beginning to the end. Their Kumogakure enemy had always only been one, and that was Iwagakure.
There is no eternal hatred or eternal friendship between countries. What exists is only eternal interests.
Since the Third Raikage is sitting in the position of leader of Cloud Hidden Village, he should not hinder Cloud Hidden Village from making the most correct choice because of his own personal grudges.
If he really did that, then he would be ashamed of the thunder shadow hat on his head.
For the Third Raikage, after the battle with Lei Luo, all he lost to the opponent was his own arm, and the "strongest spear" that was invincible in the ninja world...
What was also lost was his arrogant mentality.
After this incident, the Third Raikage deeply realized that he was far from invincible.
It is precisely because of this that he cannot follow his own temper, lest he bring disaster to Yunyin Village.
The Third Raikage never told anyone about all the thoughts and weighings. This was not only to prevent his subordinates from accepting it, but also because all choices had to wait for the outcome of the battle between the Ninja Village Alliance and Konoha, so...
Facing Xiao Ai, Todai, and Bulubi, the third generation Raikage could only give one answer, and that was: "Wait a little longer."
