In reality.
Uchiha Ryun closed his eyes to dispel the illusion. Only one second had passed outside. Namikaze Minato’s consciousness returned to his body. He took a deep breath and touched his own face. Cold sweat was now seeping from his back, making him sowhat disheveled.
Hatake Sakumo, who had been discussing the Hatake sword style with Hatake Kakashi, saw this and imdiately understood what had happened. It seed the Hokage’s "training" had begun. Poor Minato, having to endure this at such a young age.
Uchiha Ryun seed to sense sothing and looked towards Hatake Sakumo. Sakumo imdiately averted his gaze, pretending nothing had happened as he continued chatting with Kakashi. Ryun sneered coldly at this but said nothing, turning to walk towards the table where the three Kage were sitting.
Namikaze Minato wore a bitter smile, looking at Ryun’s back and muttering, "Too terrifying, too monstrous. I thought mastering the Flying Thunder God made invincible in the ninja world. I never expected to feel like an ant before my teacher."
Only after seeing Ryun walk far away did Sakumo sigh, co over, and pat Minato on the shoulder. "It’s alright, Minato. You’ll get used to it, you’ll get used to it." He had also been beaten by Uchiha Ryun. That feeling, how to describe it, was quite helpless, like an infant facing wolves, tigers, and leopards, utterly incapable of fighting back.
Since life is like being violated, if you can’t resist, then just enjoy it. It’s not that big a deal.
Minato nodded to Sakumo to express his thanks, then began to digest the previous battle, thinking about how to deal with it if Ryun used that thod again next ti. This was what made Minato different. He always summarized after a battle, regardless of whether the final result was victory or defeat.
This was also what allowed him, from a commoner background, to beco the Fourth Hokage in the original story.
Seeing Ryun leave, Uchiha Obito, Nohara Rin, and Hatake Kakashi gathered around. Obito spoke first. "Sensei, were you just dueling with the Hokage in an illusion space? What was the result? Is the Hokage strong?"
Uchiha Obito’s eyes lit up as he inquired. Although he didn’t know the Hokage’s strength, he knew his teacher’s strength. That was soone who, the first ti he encountered his Kamui, understood its principle of operation, and used a Flying Thunder God Second Step to knock him senseless. He was a powerhouse acknowledged by Obito.
At best, Obito could fight him for ten minutes without injury. Once it exceeded ten minutes, he couldn’t keep up with Minato’s combat rhythm. Minato fought while resting and harassing. Although Obito knew Flying Thunder God, he couldn’t adjust his body posture as freely as Minato, with every attack perfectly tid.
"I lost. It was the kind where I had no power to resist at all. My teacher is simply not human." Hearing Obito’s question, Minato couldn’t help but smile bitterly. It was the first ti he felt such helplessness. He never felt this way against any other ninja, only against Uchiha Ryun.
Uchiha Obito’s pupils constricted. For his teacher to say this was enough to prove Uchiha Ryun’s power. He couldn’t even defeat his teacher now, let alone the Hokage. It seed he still had a long way to go if he wanted to beco Hokage.
Seeing Uchiha Obito’s reaction, Nohara Rin knew what he was thinking. Her jade-like hand quietly reached into Obito’s palm, grabbing his hand. "Obito, do not worry about it. The Hokage is the strongest in the ninja world, soone even the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara joining forces could not defeat. We do not need to compare ourselves to such a strong person."
"Do not forget, Obito, your current mission completion rate is 100 percent, exceeding 99.99 percent of Konoha’s ninjas." Nohara Rin encouraged him. Although her combat talent was not very strong, and she could only defend herself now, she knew Obito’s ambitions, knew what Obito wanted. She just needed to accompany him properly and witness everything about him.
"Rin." Uchiha Obito’s voice was sowhat hoarse, but a smile had already spread across his face. Sure enough, only Rin understood him best. At this mont, Uchiha Obito suddenly felt that as long as Rin was here, what did it matter if he was not Hokage? The world might be beautiful, but it could not compare to the person before him at all.
Uchiha Obito hugged Nohara Rin. Rin was stunned for a mont, then patted Obito’s back as if comforting a child. Obito’s originally agitated heart was truly soothed. Feeling the warmth of this mont, he fell silent.
This scene made Kakashi, who saw it, feel annoyed. He scratched his hair. "I am going to the bathroom." Then he rolled his eyes and walked towards the door. He was currently full and needed to digest.
Seeing this, Namikaze Minato also felt a bit sour. If only his wife, Uzumaki Kushina, were here too. Then he could also hug and kiss and seek comfort. He sighed, lost in private sorrow.
Uchiha Ryun returned to the table. Chiron stood up to give him a seat. Ryun smiled and nodded at him, returning to his exclusive throne, crossing his legs. The entire matter had taken no more than three minutes to handle.
When Ryun looked towards the stage, the succession ceremony had reached its critical mont. The young master A was now standing on the stage wearing the Raikage’s official robe. The next mont, he slightly bowed. "From now on, everything of Kumogakure is entrusted to you, Fourth Raikage-sama." Samui said with a smile.
"I will definitely shoulder the banner of Kumogakure, take revitalizing Kumogakure as my own duty, and devote myself until death cos." The Fourth Raikage A’s eyes were determined, revealing an unquestionable will.
Samui nodded, then placed the Raikage hat, symbolizing supre power, on the head of the Fourth Raikage A before her, then stepped back. The Fourth Raikage A slowly stood up. He looked at the guests present and the villagers of Kumogakure. "I announce, from today onwards, I officially assu the position of the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure. I hope to work together with everyone from now on to return Kumogakure to its peak."
His voice was very loud, without the need for a microphone, it could reach the entire venue. Among those present, the other four Kage applauded. The ninja clan mbers did not move. The commoners clapped until their palms were red. They knew the Raikage-sama would fight for them, allowing them to stand equal with the ninja clans.
The Fourth Raikage A seed to have expected this scene. He smiled and nodded. "Additionally, from today onwards, as the Fourth Raikage, I announce one more thing. Henceforth, Kumogakure will follow Konohagakure’s lead. From now on, Konohagakure is Kumogakure’s big brother."
Although the Fourth Raikage’s words were crude, the reasoning was not. Taking Konoha as the leader, although it implied submission, in this way it could cut off Iwagakure’s intention to annex Kumogakure.
Did you not see the Third Tsuchikage Onoki now frowning, looking displeased. He originally wanted to lead Iwagakure’s ninjas to attack Kumogakure after the succession ceremony ended. But now the Fourth Raikage A’s statent made him very conflicted at the mont. He looked at Uchiha Ryun.
Uchiha Ryun stood up and smiled. "That is being too formal. We are all one of the Five Great Ninja Villages. Helping each other is only right." He neither agreed nor refused. In this way, he would not give others grounds for criticism, and would also make Onoki dare not act rashly.
Onoki snorted coldly, then stood up and walked towards the outside. Even though he felt utterly helpless in his heart, facing Uchiha Ryun’s intervention, he only felt physically and ntally exhausted, just wanting to return to Iwagakure to rest properly.
This trip was really unpleasant.
The Kazekage Chiron and Mizukage Yagura exchanged a glance, then left the succession ceremony together. The Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist and Sasori, along with their respective Anbu mbers, followed closely behind. The Fourth Raikage said nothing, nodding to the Konoha Hokage Uchiha Ryun. Ryun also nodded in response.
Uchiha Ryun also led Konoha’s ninjas towards the exit. There was a good show to watch next.
Iwagakure’s Onoki was currently sowhat angry. He never expected the Fourth Raikage’s backbone to be so soft, actually acknowledging Konoha as big brother. This old man thought the Fourth Raikage was so decisive, he would fight with after taking office. It seems I overestimated him.
Thinking this, Onoki walked at the very front. Deidara was currently lowering his head in contemplation. How could his Explosive Clay have such a big flaw? What thod could make up for it? Once it was made up for, he could firmly establish himself in Iwagakure.
Kitsuchi remained silent. His political wisdom was inferior to Onoki’s. Onoki’s current silence made him dare not speak randomly, afraid of angering Onoki and being punished.
Just as they stepped out of the Land of Lightning’s border, a large volley of senbon needles swept over.
Onoki’s ears twitched and he imdiately ford hand seals, slapping both hands on the ground. An earthen wall rose from the ground, blocking the senbon.
The sound of steel needles entering soil rang out, swish swish swish.
"Everyone, take cover. Enemy ambush." Onoki’s eyes were muddy but now lit up with a gleam. He thought, "This old man is currently in a bad mood. Where did these petty thieves co from? They dare to assassinate . Seeking death."
The next mont, thick fog spread. In the mist, except for Kitsuchi who was closely following Onoki, everyone else lost their sense of direction. Deidara was also pulled back to reality from his thoughts by this sudden event.
"What is going on?" Deidara frowned. This should be the Kirigakure assassination technique recorded in books. Had people from Kirigakure co?
The next mont, Jinin Akebino appeared, swinging the explosive blade Kabutowari towards Deidara. Deidara sniffed. It was the sll of explosive tags. His eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth turning up.
"Explosive Clay Snakes." He imdiately threw out four or five white clay snakes towards the rear upper direction. Jinin Akebino’s pupils constricted. He felt a lethal threat from these five snakes.
So he shouted loudly, "Explode." Jinin Akebino swung the explosive blade Kabutowari, also throwing out four or five explosive tags. The explosive tags and the white clay snakes collided, creating a huge explosion. Boom.
Instantly, the mist was blown away by the air pressure difference caused by the explosion. Only then could Onoki and Kitsuchi clearly see the appearance of the newcors.
"Kirigakure Mizukage Yagura. And Sunagakure Kazekage Chiron. What is the aning of this, you two?" Onoki’s voice was very low, black lines covering his head. He was almost unable to restrain himself from wanting to erupt now.
