Chapter 127 An Encounter on the Street
The strength of these people is simply not on the same level!
Not to mention, the fact that he survived is already a result of them showing mercy.
The scariest thing is the other person's age!
He dared not imagine what a terrifying existence Minato would be when he reached his peak.
"Let's not talk about this anymore."
The Third Raikage shook his head: "Send someone to inform Burubi and the others to come back quickly."
His subordinates were somewhat worried: "But Raikage-sama, do we really have to hand over the Tailed Beasts? What if we lose the Tailed Beasts—"
"Even without the Tailed Beasts, we are still one of the Five Great Villages! When Kumogakure was first established, it also didn't have Tailed Beasts, but if it didn't hand over the Tailed Beasts, Kumogakure would perish now."
The Third Raikage's eyes flashed: "Besides—if no one has a Tailed Beast, then there's no difference between us."
Judging from Minato's appearance, he clearly has little interest in anything other than the tailed beasts.
Or perhaps the other party came specifically for the Tailed Beasts and just happened to fight him as a side effect.
"Also, inform the Daimyo Prefecture to withdraw its pressure on the Land of Fire. Keep an eye on the people in the village these next few days, and don't provoke that guy," the Third Raikage instructed.
"clear!"
Although he had just been defeated by Minato, the Third Raikage's prestige remained undiminished, which was also related to the system of Kumogakure.
Want to become the Raikage?
you can!
Defeating the current Raikage will allow him to immediately succeed to the throne.
Unlike Konoha, Kumogakure, from top to bottom, whether hawks or doves, is a true martial arts faction!
Therefore, although the Third Raikage was defeated by Minato, no one doubted his strength.
And don't be fooled by the fact that he just took a laser from Minato; he lost because of the numbers and the mechanics. As a powerful figure who can fight ten thousand ninjas for three days and three nights, he still has more than half of his health left!
If anyone tries to cause trouble at this critical juncture, he can really leap up and show the other party what a powerful elbow strike looks like.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed quietly.
The news that Minato had defeated the Third Mizukage and the Third Raikage in succession quickly spread throughout the entire ninja world.
------
Inside the Tsuchikage's office in Iwagakure Village.
Onoki, his only remaining arm supporting his forehead, looked deeply troubled.
"So, the Raikage lost too? Hmph—"
To be honest, Minato was quite happy that he defeated the Third Raikage.
I was also a little disappointed because the Third Raikage didn't die; in fact, he was the one who suffered the least among the four Kage who were defeated by Minato.
The Kazekage and Mizukage were both dead, and he had lost an arm. Only the Third Raikage was hit by a laser!
While such an injury would be fatal to an ordinary person, it was hardly a serious injury to someone as resilient as the Third Raikage.
Hmph, that guy must have been begging for mercy from that brat!
Onoki thought to himself, then couldn't help but sigh.
According to intelligence, after defeating the Third Raikage, Minato demanded that Kumogakure hand over the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails, and the Third Raikage agreed.
What a spineless bastard!
Why don't you just die?
Given the temperament of the Cloud Village ninjas, once the Third Raikage dies, they will inevitably become hot-blooded and fight Minato to the death.
This way, while Minato would gain the Tailed Beasts, the Hidden Cloud Village would also be destroyed.
It's better than the current situation!
Without a doubt, once Minato obtains those two tailed beasts, his next target will inevitably be Iwagakure, since they are neighbors.
He had considered sending someone to intercept and kill the Jinchūriki of Kumogakure, but he was afraid that if the Jinchūriki died, Minato would turn around and come to Iwagakure.
Moreover, those were two Jinchūriki, not guys who could be easily killed.
He even considered killing his own Jinchūriki, letting the Tailed Beast wait to be revived, even if it meant paying a price to get it back later, it would be better than having it taken by Minato.
Just as Onoki was struggling with his dilemma, Sunagakure—
The One-Tailed Jinchuriki, Bunpuku, looked at the kunai thrown in front of him and the guarded figures outside the prison door, and slowly clasped his hands together.
"It seems that my life should come to an end here."
Pfft—
As the blade pierced his flesh, accompanied by Shukaku's frantic curses from within the sealed space, Bunpuku gradually lost his breath.
Chiyo stood outside the prison door, her expression complex.
She and Bunpuku were old friends; Bunpuku had been Shukaku's jinchūriki since the founding of Sunagakure.
They've known each other for decades, and the other has always been guarded in this sealed land.
Seeing my old friends from that era pass away now, I can't help but feel a sense of sorrow, like a rabbit mourning the death of a fox.
"That way, Shukaku won't be taken away."
Ebizo said quietly, "However, this also means that Sunagakure will not possess the power of the Tailed Beasts for a short time, and once they are angered—"
Chiyo shook her head. Sunagakure could lose anything, but it couldn't lose Shukaku.
Unlike the other major ninja villages, Sunagakure already had a weak military, a difficult economy, and a harsh environment. If it were to lose Shukaku, Sunagakure would probably really decline completely.
She had already learned from her son and daughter-in-law that Minato had spared their lives because of their compassion.
Although Chiyo was very grateful for this, and from a personal point of view, she didn't mind doing Minato a favor, she was now temporarily assuming the position of Kazekage and had to be responsible for the village.
Unlike the gloomy atmosphere in Sunagakure, Konoha was bustling with activity, as if it were about to celebrate a festival.
"Have you heard? About what happened in Kumogakure?"
"Ah, as expected of Lord Minato!"
"Having defeated the Third Kazekage, the Third Tsuchikage, the Third Mizukage, and the Third Raikage in succession—could the Third Hokage be next?"
"Hahaha, what are you saying?"
"Wasn't it said that he had already betrayed the village?"
"I heard that it was because of pressure from other countries that Lord Minato didn't want to involve others, so he betrayed the village and went to those ninja villages alone to demand an explanation."
"Wow, that's amazing. I heard he's already been named the top candidate for Hokage."
Throughout Konoha Village, Minato's glorious deeds of blocking the gates of other villages were being discussed everywhere.
This is not an attack, but a blatant assault on someone's village entrance, utterly crushing their shadow!
Such courage and strength filled every Konoha resident with immense excitement and pride upon learning of this.
Kushina and Mikoto went shopping together, and the smiles on their faces never disappeared as they heard people talking about Minato. They were genuinely proud of Minato.
"As expected of Minato!"
Kushina's face flushed with excitement: "I've decided! I'm going to learn how to cook properly so I can cook a big meal for Minato when he gets back and treat him to a good meal!"
Mikoto smiled happily and said, "Then take me with you too."
The two walked hand in hand down the street, chatting and laughing.
Suddenly, Kushina's eyes lit up, and she waved ahead, "Huh? Isn't that Nonou?"
"Kushina!"
Upon hearing this, Nono turned her head, a perfectly timed look of surprise in her eyes.
Beside her was a little girl with blue hair.
