Chapter 88 Aftermath
After explaining the city planning issues, Shiba Kiyokawa quickly gathered all the ninjas in the organization and announced another major piece of news!
In retaliation for Danzo's involvement in the internal strife in the Land of Rain, the newly formed Land of Rain will declare war on Konoha!
At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa stood on the stage and loudly proclaimed.
"Yesterday, at the critical moment when we were about to win, some despicable people from Konoha attacked our rear base, causing the deaths of many innocent comrades. Their crimes are too numerous to count!"
I firmly believe that fairness and justice exist in the ninja world created by the Sage of Six Paths! Those who make mistakes should be punished!
Hands should be severed, feet should be severed; just because he is a big shot in the Great Ninja Village doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants!
Our Akatsuki organization may be young, but we also have our own dignity!
Therefore, I hereby declare that from this moment forward, the Land of Rain will join the Ninja World War!
Our revenge will not end until Konoha has fully atoned for their sins!
For the first time in history, the Land of Rain, a site of four major battles in the ninja world, did not passively wait for invasion, but actively joined the war!
Below the stage, Nagato, who had rushed over with Kiyokawa Wanshiba and Konan, was initially confused and worried, fearing that the war would frighten his comrades and trigger collective painful memories.
But to his utter surprise, the result was exactly the opposite!
No one felt fear or panic; everyone around them was spontaneously shouting and cheering, proud of the Akatsuki organization standing tall!
The cheers started out incredibly chaotic, but soon people spontaneously unified their shouts until they finally formed a uniform, harmonious wave of sound.
"For a bright and beautiful tomorrow! Akatsuki will prevail!"
"For a bright and beautiful tomorrow! Akatsuki will prevail!"
The shouts resounded through the sky, deeply shaking Nagato and dispelling his hesitation and confusion.
At this point, the self-proclaimed god-like, delusional young man in the original work who wanted the world to feel pain has finally died out completely, with no possibility of him ever returning to life!
The script of fate has thus turned a new page.
Because Shiba Kiyokawa's declaration was made in a public setting, the news quickly spread throughout the entire ninja world like a hurricane!
The news was quickly received by all the major ninja villages, and their reactions varied.
Inside Iwagakure, Onoki put down the intelligence scroll in his hand, sighed deeply, and couldn't help but look at his son, Koto, with a disappointed expression.
"No wonder that brat named Shiba Kiyokawa forced me to swear that I would never get involved in the affairs of the Land of Rain again when I rescued you."
How terrifying! Were they plotting a rebellion against Hanzo so early on? What an incredible group of young people.
Why wasn't such an outstanding young man born in Iwagakure? Onoki couldn't help but glare at his son again with resentment.
Huang Tu scratched his head with a silly look on his face, his expression innocent.
He never imagined that at his age, he would still be tormented by his father using the comparison to "other people's children".
But what could he say?
He was indeed no match for Shiba Kiyokawa and was captured in public.
I have no way to refute this...
"So, Father, are we to do nothing because of the vow we made back then?"
"Idiot!" Onoki roared, his mustache bristling with rage.
"We don't need to pay attention to the Akatsuki, but definitely not because of some bullshit oath!"
It's not that their declaration of war against Konoha is beneficial to us; we have no reason to turn away an ally we've gained for free.
Huang Tu still grinned, "What's the difference? In the end, we just let them be."
Onoki was so angry he wanted to hit someone.
"You idiot! When will you ever learn my mind and foresight? You're nowhere near as good as that Shiba Kiyokawa, you—"
Before he could finish speaking, Onoki twisted his back again when he lunged forward to knock on the yellow earth.
"Ouch, my back!"
"Quickly, call a medical ninja!"
At the same time, Elder Chiyo of Sunagakure, after reading the intelligence presented by the Anbu, also let out a long sigh.
"That old bastard who used poison actually died at the hands of a few mere young people. It's really... really..."
She sighed several times but couldn't find a suitable word, so she could only silently put down the scroll.
A short while later, her younger brother Ebizo came over and asked, "Rasa just came over to ask us what we think about the Land of Rain."
Chiyo shook her head and chuckled, "Heh, what opinion could we possibly have? Let alone the fact that their declaration of war against Konoha wouldn't do us any harm."
Even though I cracked the poison of the salamander back then, our Sand Village still couldn't conquer the Land of Rain.
We couldn't beat Hanzo in the last Shinobi World War, do you really think we can beat those young people who defeated Hanzo this time?
Go back and warn Luo Sha, "This man shouldn't think too highly of himself."
Ebizo nodded and silently left the room.
He went back and relayed everything to the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.
I was so angry at Luo Sha that I almost blew sand out of my nostrils.
Finally, the most vehement reaction came from the Fog Shadows.
The Third Shinobi World War has been raging for over a year now, and Kirigakure remains isolated overseas, observing from the sidelines.
This has already caused a lot of discontent in the Hidden Mist Village, which is deeply entrenched in the Blood Mist policy and where everyone is martial.
The news that even a small country like the Land of Rain dared to pluck a beard from Konoha was further enraged, causing a group of villains from the Hidden Mist Belt to howl in anger.
Just as everyone was getting angry, the long-silent office of the Water Shadow finally came to life again.
Mei Terumi, the captain of the Dark Guard, stepped out of her office to relay the Third Mizukage's orders—
"From this moment forward, Kirigakure, join the war!"
A new round of war has begun!
Following the chaos in the north of the ninja world, the south of the ninja world has also begun to descend into turmoil!
After Kirigakure joined the war, it declared war on both Konoha and Sunagakure!
On one hand, they landed in the southeast of the Land of Fire and invaded the inland; on the other hand, they went deep into the Land of Wind along the estuary and started a war with the Sand Village at the same time!
Although fighting on two fronts, Kirigakure's main offensive focus was undoubtedly still on the Land of Fire!
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist have come out in full force!
This put immense pressure on Konoha in a short period of time.
This made the already dire war situation in Konoha Village even worse!
That day, in the Hokage's office in Konoha Village, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had already consumed three large bags of tobacco in a single day, yet he still couldn't hide his worried expression.
"That Danzo guy! He's caused such a mess again! Damn it, where is he? Why isn't he back yet?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but speak up in frustration, asking the ANBU on duty once again.
The Anbu replied helplessly, "We have already sent a message to Elder Danzo as requested, ordering him to return to the village to report for duty. As for why he hasn't returned yet, we don't know..."
While both attempts to interfere in the affairs of the Land of Rain failed, Danzo caused far more trouble and problems for Konoha this time than in the original story!
No matter how much Hiruzen Sarutobi indulged him, he was truly angry this time and issued several orders for him to return.
But to this day, there is still no news of him.
Hiruzen Sarutobi habitually assumed that this was another instance of Danzo betraying him and acting on his own initiative.
Little did he know that this time he had truly wronged Danzo.
Danzo also wanted to return, knowing he could no longer stay on the front lines.
But that afternoon, just as he was about to set off, a young man blocked his way.
"You inherently evil Uchiha brat, what do you want by blocking my way?"
Uchiha Shisui didn't answer, only coldly asking, "You went to the Land of Rain, so what happened to Hanzo's group there? What happened to his ninjas?"
