The sun rose in the early morning.
The smoke and flas from various parts of Konoha finally died down.
Ninjas, who were busy with various tasks, stood atop the ruins.
Looking at what was once a prosperous Konoha, now only about half of the village remained.
Countless Konoha ninjas had blank expressions.
Their eyes filled with exhaustion.
Even though the village was destroyed, it could be rebuilt.
But!
What made all the Konoha ninjas feel despair now was the Hokage of Konoha!
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi... was dead!
Killed by the rogue ninja Orochimaru.
Jiraiya lay in the hospital bed of Konoha, looking at his chest tightly bandaged.
But even so, he still faintly felt the pain from the wound.
'Sasuke... Uchiha...'
"Sasuke Uchiha... stole our Konoha's Forbidden Scroll. As expected, the Uchiha clan is beyond saving!"
The Konoha jonin in the bed next to him was angrily shouting.
Jiraiya sighed helplessly.
Orochimaru really did succeed in his revenge on Konoha this ti!
Such a major event had happened in Konoha.
At the sa ti, the war had lasted the entire day, and the information had already been transmitted to the major ninja villages.
At this mont, in the Land of Lightning, Hidden Cloud Village.
Inside the Raikage building atop the mountain peak!
The Fourth Raikage was handling so internal village issues, as the entire village leaned towards a martial faction.
As a result, the most common events in Hidden Cloud Village were fights.
The Raikage was getting quite impatient with these restless individuals.
Just as he was about to release so of his frustration by picking a fight with two overly energetic people, the door to his office suddenly crashed open.
A Hidden Cloud intelligence ninja quickly knelt before the Raikage.
"Raikage-sama, I bring urgent news."
"Konoha has encountered a crisis!"
Upon hearing the words "Konoha," the Raikage's expression beca much more serious.
"What... happened?"
What could have caused the Hidden Cloud ninja to panic like this?
Could Konoha be about to declare war on Hidden Cloud?
With Sarutobi Hiruzen, that old man, could they even move?
"Konoha's Chunin Exams were disrupted. Konoha's rogue ninja Orochimaru assassinated the Fourth Kazekage, disguised himself as the Kazekage of Sunagakure, and launched the Konoha Collapse Plan with Sunagakure and the Sound Ninjas!"
What?
The Fourth Kazekage was assassinated by Orochimaru?
Heh, it seems the Kazekage isn't much either!
"The Jinchuriki from Sunagakure went berserk in Konoha, and Konoha was destroyed by more than half!"
"Revenge was brought to Konoha by its own disciple. I wonder what Sarutobi Hiruzen is thinking now!"
"The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, is dead!"
What?
At this mont, the Fourth Raikage could no longer stay calm.
The greatest ninja of the Shinobi World is finally dead?
Even more laughable, he was killed by his own disciple?
The Fourth Raikage was about to say sothing, but the Hidden Cloud ninja continued, "During this Konoha turmoil, the worst defection in Konoha's history also occurred!"
"A Konoha genin, the last mber of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke Uchiha, stole the Forbidden Scroll of Konoha and defected!"
The remaining bloodline of the Uchiha clan?
Uchiha again? It seems like these incidents always involve the Uchiha clan!
"And this ninja, Sasuke Uchiha, injured one of Konoha's Legendary Three Ninjas, Jiraiya!"
The Fourth Raikage's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.
Stealing the Forbidden Scroll and defecting was one thing, but injuring Jiraiya?
Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Three Ninjas?
He was strong enough to beco Hokage himself, and even the Fourth Raikage wouldn't dare say he could win against him.
A re ninja from the Uchiha clan was able to injure Jiraiya and escape with the Forbidden Scroll from Konoha, a low-ranking genin?
Wait!
"How old is this Sasuke Uchiha?"
Upon hearing this, the Hidden Cloud ninja handed over the information in his hand to the Fourth Raikage.
The Fourth Raikage looked at the information in his hand.
He froze in place.
After a long ti, he slowly sat down and placed the information on the desk.
The Hidden Cloud's intelligence departnt wouldn't make a mistake.
Sothing this big couldn't possibly be wrong.
"Twelve years old!"
"A genius!"
"Developing lightning-style jutsu at an astonishing rate!"
"He even developed a physical technique that could rival Konoha's Eight Gates of Chakra!"
"A ninja this outstanding... is only twelve years old!"
...
Now, the Fourth Raikage was stunned.
How monstrous must this child be? A twelve-year-old boy who could achieve such feats.
Twelve years old! What was he doing at twelve?
Why do such exceptionally talented ninjas always appear in Konoha?
The Fourth Raikage took a deep breath.
"I'm quite interested in this lightning-style jutsu this kid developed!"
It was praised as being on par with the Hidden Cloud's Raikage Chakra Mode technique!
The Fourth Raikage wanted to see just how fast this lightning-style jutsu really was. Could it compare to the Raikage Chakra Mode of Hidden Cloud?
"And this physical technique is also quite impressive, able to rival Konoha's Eight Gates of Chakra!"
"Have soone investigate this kid's whereabouts. Notify imdiately if they find anything. These two techniques are based on lightning!"
"They fit perfectly with Hidden Cloud!"
If they could obtain these two techniques, Hidden Cloud might be able to produce many more powerful ninjas.
Sasuke Uchiha!
Now the Fourth Raikage was eager to et this prodigious kid in person!
In the Land of Earth, Iwagakure.
The Tsuchikage, Onoki, also put down the intelligence report at the sa ti!
"A child, yet he made such a world-shaking impact!"
"He developed two incredibly powerful forbidden jutsu. Such talent, yet Konoha didn't properly value him and turned him into a rogue ninja!"
"What a pity! That old man, Hiruzen, is dead too!"
Onoki sighed silently. Unlike the Fourth Raikage, who was in his pri, Onoki preferred peace and stability.
In the Land of Water, Kirigakure.
Still in a semi-closed state, Kirigakure had not yet officially decided on a new Mizukage.
However, the acting Mizukage, i Terumi, was also reviewing the intelligence regarding Konoha.
"The worst defection in Konoha's history. The Forbidden Scroll of Konoha has been stolen!"
"This might be sothing we can try to search for. If we get our hands on Konoha's Forbidden Scroll, Kirigakure could quickly recover its strength!"
"We could rapidly train a large group of powerful ninjas!"
"Sasuke Uchiha, I'll rember this kid... I wonder if he's dead yet. If he is, it would be such a waste."
