This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 259 Ai gets angrier the more she thinks about it

Land of Lightning, Hidden Cloud Village, Raikage's office.

"That old bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi! How dare he turn the tables?!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, was enveloped in violent lightning chakra, pacing back and forth in his office like an enraged lion, his angry roars making the windowpanes rattle.

"I kindly suggested holding the Chunin Exams at Thundercloud Gorge to give them a way out, and they dared to refuse?! They even want to hold it in Konoha?! This clearly shows they don't respect Kumogakure at all!"

"Lord Raikage, calm down."

The earthen platform standing beside him quickly reassured Ai, saying that the young man was too impulsive. The office wasn't that sturdy, and there was no need to incur unnecessary expenses. The financial situation of Yunyin Village was not optimistic at the moment.

"Konoha's move, while somewhat unexpected, makes perfect sense upon closer examination. They've just gained the upper hand in the war and now is the time to establish their authority. If they agree to come to our Kumogakure, they'll be at a disadvantage in terms of morale."

"Establish authority? With those low-ranking ninjas who're still practically breastfeeding?"

Ai sneered, the lightning on his body gradually subsiding. After venting his anger, he calmed down. He became the Raikage not just because of his powerful fists; his character was more shrewd than rough.

He walked to the window, looked down at the village shrouded in mist, and a sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Konoha, having suffered the least losses in the last great war, is now widely recognized as the strongest village, and everyone studies it.

Therefore, Ai believed that while he couldn't say he knew everything about Konoha, he did know some of the details.

"Since they want to lose face on their home turf, then I'll grant their wish!"

"Those little monsters from Konoha, Kakashi and Shisui, have already been promoted to Chunin and can't participate. That Yellow Flash is already a Jonin class leader. What can the rest of those worthless fry do against us?"

Ai suddenly turned around, his gaze fixed intently on the earthen platform.

"How's your control over the Eight-Tails going now?"

When Kirabi was mentioned, Tsuchikta's expression turned somewhat serious.

"Although Lord Bee has only recently become the Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki and his compatibility with the Eight-Tails is still in the adjustment period, with his taijutsu talent and massive chakra reserves, even without fully transforming into a tailed beast, he is absolutely overwhelming among genin."

Let alone a genin, even a regular jonin might not be able to beat Killer Bee. Tsuchida believes that letting him participate in the Chunin Exams is practically cheating!

However, this happens to be in accordance with the rules, because he was chosen from a young age and did not participate in the promotion test, so he is still a genin.

"very good!"

Ai slapped his thigh, his eyes full of confidence.

"Send Bee to them! Let him lead our Cloud Village's most elite genin to Konoha's territory and give them a good slap in the face! I want the entire ninja world to see who the future overlord really is!"

"But..." Ai frowned, clicking her tongue with some regret, "It's a pity. If it could be held in Thundercloud Gorge, it could also boost the village's tourism industry and the sales of local specialties. I've been envious of Konoha's money-grabbing methods for a long time."

Tu Tai smiled helplessly.

Lord Raikage, is this what you're thinking about now? It seems you've been quite provoked by those unscrupulous merchants in Konoha.

Ai was still furious and insisted on going to Konoha no matter what.

"No, we can't let Konoha get away with this so easily. Tell them that if the event is held in Kumogakure, the winner's prize will be Lightning Release Chakra Mode."

"Huh?" Tsuchikage was a little confused. Is he going to go this far, Raikage-sama?

"If Konoha wants to host the Chunin Exams, they'll have to offer rewards that are just as good!"

Ai smiled happily. What could be more satisfying than defeating a Konoha ninja on Konoha's home turf and taking away Konoha's reward?

……

The Land of Wind, Sunagakure Village.

Yellow sand raged around the village, but inside the Fengying Building, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

The newly appointed Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, sat in the main seat, rubbing his throbbing temples.

Before him lay the same invitation to the joint Chunin Exams from Konoha and Kumogakure.

"Elders, what are your thoughts?"

Rasa's voice was filled with deep weariness. They had just suffered a crushing defeat; the village had not only ceded territory and paid reparations, but had also signed a humiliating ceasefire agreement under pressure from Konoha.

What Sunagakure needs most right now is rest and recuperation, not to participate in some ridiculous Chunin Exams. If they lose the last few promising talents left in Konoha, Sunagakure will truly face a talent gap.

"Lord Kazekage, I suggest you refuse to go to either side and let Konoha and Kumogakure fight like dogs."

A conservative elder stepped forward.

"Our current financial situation is so dire that we can barely afford to pay the pensions. Sending troops to Konoha or Kumogakure would not only incur exorbitant travel expenses, but also, what if..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present understood. If they lost too badly, Sunagakure would lose all face, and it might even provoke further discontent from the daimyo and the people of the country.

"I think Konoha is a good option, but Kumogakure is too far away, so let's skip it."

A hoarse yet authoritative voice interrupted the conservative elder.

Chiyo slowly opened her cloudy eyes, her gaze sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on Rasa.

"Although we lost, we cannot lose the spirit of Sunagakure. If we don't go, other villages will think we are completely afraid of Konoha, and then anyone will dare to step on us."

"But Elder Chiyo..." Rasa hesitated, "What number of genin can we send out right now..."

"No matter what, we are one of the five great ninja villages! Let Pakura pick out the best children from the village."

Chiyo didn't give Rasa a chance to refute her, her tone was forceful.

"We will not only participate in this test, but we will also demonstrate the fighting spirit of Sunagakure! Even if we cannot win, we will take a piece of their flesh and let the other villages know that Sunagakure is not to be trifled with!"

The meeting room fell into dead silence.

Everyone knew perfectly well why Granny Chiyo insisted on going to Konoha.

For dignity? For integrity?

No, it's because of that red-haired boy locked up in the Konoha Research Institute—Sasori.

Since Sasori was captured, Chiyo seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

Although she sacrificed her grandson for the village on the battlefield, Scorpion was still her only descendant.

This joint Chunin Exams is a rare opportunity to go to Konoha.

Chiyo wanted to use the pretext of leading the team to go to Konoha and meet Sasori.

Even just a glimpse from afar.

Rasa looked at Chiyo's slightly trembling hands and sighed inwardly.

He was able to maintain his position as Kazekage largely thanks to the support of Chiyo and Ebizo.

If we embarrass her now, new rifts may appear within Sunagakure.

"All right."

Luo Sha finally compromised.

"Since Elder Chiyo insists, then you will personally lead the team to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exams. However, all actions must prioritize the interests of the village."

"I know."

Chiyo closed her eyes slightly, concealing the complex emotions within them.

How is he doing in Konoha?
