As a member of the Hokage, one dares not be a loyal subject of Konoha!

Fortunately, he was able to open his eyes smoothly at this moment. Apart from his sharp gaze no longer being so sharp, he looked like a perfectly normal person.

"The Hyuga clan will remember this day; it is the clan head's promise."

He patted Fugaku on the shoulder meaningfully. He really didn't expect Fugaku to actually come. Although he couldn't help, if the battle continued, the Uchiha were risking their lives to support him.

Hinata Himeko understands this very well. He is not a heartless person and will definitely help his older brother when the time comes.

"Hey, we're all brothers, no need to be so polite."

Fugaku shook his head, unconcerned. He understood some things better than the old village chief. If the Hyuga clan couldn't hold off Kumogakure, Konoha would still be doomed. So, his support was also for the sake of the Uchiha clan.

However, after thinking it over, Fugaku approached Chief Nichisei and said in a half-joking, half-serious tone:

"Brother, if you really remember how good I was to you, then you can help me have another big, healthy son."

He didn't just mention it casually; on the contrary, he took it very seriously!

The reason is simple: Fugaku is a person who thinks outside the box. Just by looking at that chasm, you can tell how powerful the Hyuga brothers are. Such a strong man's seed quality is probably also very high. If they can cultivate a strong person who combines the advantages of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans...

No!

Relying solely on Sasuke isn't enough! What if Sasuke underperforms?

Brother Fugaku looked solemn.

"Brother, just consider this as being Sasuke's companion. It'll be a bit tiring, but if you're not satisfied with your sister-in-law, I'll find you a new one! But there's no need for a formal marriage ceremony. I'll just have your new sister-in-law move in with you, and that'll be it. We don't need to make a big fuss about it!"

The Uchiha clan may not have much else, but they will never lack long, straight black hair!

I heard his brother is into this! He, Fugaku Uchiha, knows how to cuckold himself.

what?

Are you serious?!

Upon hearing this, Chief Nichisei nearly lost his balance, turning his head in shock to look at his brother Fugaku and slowly forming a question mark. He was truly baffled by Fugaku's words.

Chapter 80. Underhanded Tactics.

The border of the Land of Fire.

Covered in blood, the Fourth Raikage finally led his men back to the Land of Lightning's defense line via the Land of Rice Fields.

His subordinates remained silent the entire way.

Compared to when they arrived, they could no longer hear Lord Killer Bee's muttering rap.

Without him.

At this moment, B, one of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, was lying quietly on a stretcher. If it weren't for the faint trace of life still lingering in his body, he would look no different from being dead from a distance.

The losses suffered by Konoha in this attack were considerable.

No one in Kumogakure expected that not only would they fail to wipe out Konoha in one fell swoop, but the Raikage himself, leading the village's elite forces, would be defeated by the mere Hyuga clan.

Those are just Konoha's ninja clans, what makes them think they can fight against a ninja village?

If it weren't for Killer Bee cutting off his tail to save his life, the AB duo who stayed behind to cover the retreat would probably have been wiped out of the ninja world. The Raikage believed that if it were a life-or-death battle, and he had to face Hyuga Hijin without being able to run away, he would definitely be killed.

Is the Hyuga clan really that powerful?

No, it seems that only Hyuga Himaru himself is strong.

The kind of rain of arrows that used to fill the sky during battles isn't exactly a killer move, but it's not impossible to defend against either.

On the way, the Fourth Raikage, covered in bandages, began to reflect on himself.

Ultimately, they underestimated their opponent. If they had honestly joined forces with Onoki to attack Konoha, would they have been able to win this battle?

With this question in mind, Raikage slowly raised his head.

Then he saw Onoki, the Two-Day Scale, lying on a stretcher.

Ultimately, they would have to borrow a route from the Land of Lightning to establish a supply line. Moreover, this time, they couldn't openly enter the Land of Fire like they did last time when they were transferring troops from the Land of Earth. Therefore, everyone had to take the same route to retreat.

It's quite normal to run into each other here after such a fierce battle.

"I thought the Tsuchikage was drinking and celebrating in Konoha right now."

Lei Ying chuckled, his eyes filled with mockery.

I knew that Onoki had already gone ahead when we set off for the surprise attack yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't have told my men to hurry up and go straight into the Hyuga clan's bombing zone.

He had thought that Onoki would at least achieve something, but he didn't expect that Iwagakure would have a similar experience to him. Just by looking at their disheveled appearance, he knew that they hadn't been able to take it down.

"Heh, you still have the nerve to talk about me like that?"

Onoki glanced disdainfully at Killer Bee lying on the stretcher, then shook his head at the Raikage.

"I'm just curious, how come the main force of Konoha fought me to a standstill? In other words, Iwagakure really had a one-on-one battle with Konoha yesterday."

"Where is your Hidden Cloud Village? Where are your people?"

The Tsuchikage grew angrier and angrier, risking twisting his back again as he sat up in frustration and pointed directly at the Raikage's nose, cursing him.

"At least your father knew to buy time for his comrades to retreat. If you can't be that selfless, then don't just betray your teammates! I've been fighting this madman from the Uchiha clan for so long, if you had just come to help, things wouldn't have turned out like this!"

This makes sense.

But the Raikage didn't like hearing it at all. He had been hoping for Onoki's support, but in the end, neither Kumogakure nor Iwagakure gained any advantage. Onoki was angry, and so was he.

Before they could even finish their argument, the two started arguing, and their subordinates behind them also became tense and ready to fight.

However, in the end, reason prevailed over the two shadows.

After all, they understood that arguing like this was pointless. Although the battle to capture Konoha ended in failure, it did not mean that the war was over.

Onoki still has the main force of the Land of Earth, and the Hidden Cloud Village still has spare strength. If they fail in one battle, they can continue to try. No matter how strong Hyuga Hisei is, he is still just one person. Even if he is as strong as Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, he is still capable of killing him. The situation is far from hopeless.

"Believe it or not, I'm telling you this: the strength of the Hyuga clan has exceeded my expectations, especially their clan leader, Hyuga Hijiro. As long as he's around, the Hyuga clan will be very difficult to deal with on the front lines."

"especially"

Thinking of that golden light, Lei Ying felt a lingering fear.

He wasn't afraid of the golden chakra lightsaber, and was confident he could dodge it completely, even sneaking in to attack during the opponent's spell recovery animation. But if he could dodge it, what about the ordinary ninjas of Kumogakure?

That move was far too effective on the front lines!

“Killer Bee hasn’t woken up yet, so I have no reason to lie to you about something like that.”

The Hyuga clan.

Onoki frowned as he listened. He had lived through the era of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, and he knew that the Senju and Uchiha clans had left, but he had never heard of any decent figures from the Hyuga clan. There was only one Hyuga Tennin, whose story was somewhat mysterious, but he was not comparable to the two mentioned above.

But he could clearly see the terrible state of the Hidden Cloud Village; it looked exactly like it had encountered a powerful enemy.

A moment of silence.

In the end, Onoki seemed to have made a decision, and had his trusted subordinate carry him to the side with the Raikage.

"Raikage, let's let bygones be bygones. I assure you that from now on, Iwagakure and Kumogakure will be allies and will never betray each other."

Ultimately, the Land of Fire's prize was too big, so Onoki took the initiative to lower his stance, which was a way of showing the Raikage an attitude, since he had been the one to run away first and was somewhat in the wrong.

"I also guarantee that I will treat Iwagakure as a true ally."

The power displayed by the Hyuga clan and the remnants of Konoha brought the Raikage back to his senses. He realized that he would have no chance to share the spoils of war alone, which made the allies of Iwagakure extremely important.

"In that case, let me first explain my plans for the future."

The Earth Shadow remained calm, which could be considered as him taking the initiative to show his sincerity.

"Given the current situation, it will take time for both Kumogakure and Iwagakure to continue mobilizing personnel, and this gap period is definitely an opportunity for Konoha to catch its breath."

"But I don't want to give them that opportunity."

Onoki's tone was sinister.

"Furthermore, according to you, the Hyuga clan leader, Hyuga Hijiri, is incredibly powerful and poses a great threat to the main battlefield?"

The Raikage nodded, puzzled. Ōnoki, if he didn't believe him, could go and see the chasm for himself; he was too lazy to argue.

However, Onoki did not argue about this, but instead a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

"There are a few people in Konoha who need to be dealt with, so let's clean them up in one go."

During this direct confrontation with Konoha, the Tsuchikage remembered many names.

Kakashi Hatake, son of White Fang; Shisui Uchiha, the master of the Body Flicker Technique; and Fugaku Uchiha, the clan head whose hair turned black with green.

"you mean"

Raikage was taken aback, a conflicted look flashing across his face. He understood what Onoki meant; he simply wanted to resort to underhanded tactics and find some thugs.

However, since the Hidden Cloud Village has always looked down on outsiders, they rarely use this technique.

However, Onoki knew that the Raikage was trying to be a hypocrite. He was already planning to fight two against one to seize the title of the number one ninja village, so why couldn't he put down his pride and hire mercenaries?

The Tsuchikage felt contempt but didn't bother to mock him.

"I will be in charge of making the contact. Your Hidden Cloud Village will cover half of the expenses."

"Money is not a problem."

Rayleigh waved his hand, "I'm only worried about the work being done sloppily."

Hinata Himeko's strength is undeniable; how could an ordinary person be his match?

"Don't worry, the person I found is quite capable."

Onoki smiled slightly and added in a low voice:

"I've heard that there's a powerful figure in that organization who can rival the First Hokage! This time, I'm specifically requesting him to take action!"

Can Hyuga Hyuga, no matter how powerful he is, outdo the God of Shinobi?

The Raikage's eyes lit up, and he gave Onoki a thumbs up:

"However, assassinations alone are not enough. We must not let the Land of Fire recover. We also need to send someone to cause trouble for Konoha."

"That's easy. You can send some people to Sunagakure to stir things up. Say that the Fourth Kazekage is not as good as the Third Kazekage, and that while the fighting outside is raging, their Kazekage is acting like a coward. Rasa's temper will definitely fall for it!"

"Will this work?"
