Upon learning that the Third Raikage had been assassinated by Yeruashi, the Third Hokage imdiately mobilized all forces to launch a full-scale attack on Kumogakure.
Although Hiruzen does not show enough determination and rigidity in so matters, such as in the case of Danzo's assassination attempt, but as one of the strongest ninja in the world, who dominated the battlefield of the Second Ninja World War, he is capable of taking tough and decisive action in tis of war.
Konoha forces attacked the Kumogakure camp.
The ninja of Kumogakure still did not know about the death of their Raikage, but due to the fact that the A-B Duo and the Third Raikage were absent, Dodai, who assud temporary command, chose the safest approach, refusing to engage Konoha and retreating.
Only a small number of wounded remained in the camp, each using suicidal ans to inflict damage on the invading Konoha forces.
In the end.
After losing their front line camp, the Kumogakure forces were forced to retreat to the Lightning Country and await word from the Third Raikage and the A-B Duo.
Approximately two days later, A and Killer B rejoined the Kumogakure forces.
Although due to the early evacuation and the transfer of supplies through the Sky Transfer Technique, Kumogakure's losses were not too great, but the temporary camp still had an extrely unstable atmosphere, because, so far, no news had been received from the Third Raikage.
One day...
Two days...
Three days...
After three days of waiting, the scouts sent to the Fire Country would finally be able to obtain information.
The Third Raikage had died in battle!
Killed by the Silver Flash of Konoha!
This sad news depressed Dodai, the recovering A and the others, although after three days of waiting they already had very bad feelings, but the news of the Third Raikage's death, if anything, was a hard blow to everyone.
Countless ninja in Kumogakure were shocked and could not believe it.
How could such a powerful ninja, considered the strongest Raikage in history, fall at the hands of the Silver Flash of Konoha! As far as they knew, that boy was only eleven years old!
However.
The forces of Kumogakure did not collapse after the loss of their Raikage, because this happened earlier, although this news greatly shocked their ranks, but the ninjas of Kumogakure, famous for their inflexibility and bravery, quickly recovered and restored order, under Dodai's skillful leadership. .
The unexpected death of the Third Raikage also affected his son's position, but A relied on his overwhelming strength to gain the unanimous approval of the upper strata of the village and assu the position of Acting Raikage, and later, after holding an official eting with the Daimyo of the Lightning Country, he would beco the new Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure.
In the central tent of the Kumogakure temporary camp.
The ninja from the communications departnt handed the docunt to A and began the report.
"Lord Raikage, Konoha has expressed their desire to negotiate and intend to end the war, they demand that we withdraw our troops and no longer invade the Fire Country, as well as have requested large war reparations...."
A wasn't going to listen to this until the end, he looked at the scroll with the offer of negotiations and rudely tore it up.
Wosh! Wosh!!!
Pieces of the broken scroll fell to the ground.
The Fourth Raikage clenched his fists tightly, looked in the direction of the Fire Country border and said fiercely, "I'm not listening to any bullshit!!!"
"Inform Konoha that I demand that the Silver Flash be delivered imdiately! Otherwise, we will fight to the last drop of blood, and we will never bow our heads to them!"
The Fourth Raikage roared furiously.
The ninja of the communications departnt also felt anger and reluctance, the ninja of Kumogakure cannot surrender in this situation! It is impossible to admit defeat even if their Third Raikage has fallen!
As he watched the ninja ssenger leave , Killer B turned to A and said, "Big brother...".
"B! Transmit my order imdiately. It is now unprofitable for us to fight Konoha head-on, so we must disperse our forces imdiately, if these bastards dare to invade the Lightning Country, let them taste our power!"
The Fourth Raikage was extrely determined and spoke.
A light shone in Killer B's eyes, he nodded and imdiately left the tent to deliver his brother's order.
Dodai sat silently in a chair in the corner of the tent. As he watched the newly minted Raikage give the order, his eyes shone with relief and approval.
Although the Third Raikage had died in the battle, A, who had taken over as the Fourth Raikage and carried the responsibility of a village on his back, had grown up as a result and was not so reckless as to want to fight Konoha head-on because of his hatred.
Dispersing forces and continuing the war, right now this is the best option, even if the situation is very unfavorable, now Konoha is fighting on three fronts at once and is not ready for a full scale invasion deep into the Lightning Country.
They simply changed their position, now Konoha attacks and Kumogakure defends. The ninja of Kumogakure will rely on the favorable terrain of the Lightning Country to stop the invasion of Konoha.
"Silver Flash... I'll never forget this sha! I'll definitely kill you the next ti we et!"
The Fourth Raikage clenched his fists tightly, anger and reluctance shone deep in his eyes, he is now ready to begin a period of hellish practice to beco stronger and eliminate this sha!
...
Konoha Front Camp.
Apart from Yeruashi, Hiruzen, Tsunade and other veteran mbers of Konoha had gathered at the central tent.
They had already received an outright refusal to negotiate and Kumogakure's demand.
This ca as no surprise to Hiruzen, the ninja of Kumogakure have always been famous for their courageous and uncompromising character, they would rather die than bow their heads and admit defeat.
This requirent is, in fact, simply demonstrates their uncompromising attitude.
If Kumogakure had really intended to negotiate, the Fourth Raikage would have made so moderate demands so that both sides could sit down and negotiate.
"What do you think about this?"
Hiruzen looked at the group.
Tsunade said coolly, "Delivering Yeruashi to Kumogakure? Hmph, it seems the new Raikage has no intention of negotiating."
Surrender Yeruashi in exchange for a peace treaty.
This thought had crossed Hiruzen's mind many tis, and he was actually sowhat tempted by it.
It will be difficult to control Yeruashi now, although there have been no problems during the war, but once the war is over, there is a high probability that Yeruashi's existence will cause divisions and conflicts within Konoha.
Even Hiruzen may not be confident in his ability to suppress Yeruashi who killed the Third Raikage.
The appearance of such a powerful uncontrolled ninja within Konoha, of course, frightened and alerted the Hokage.
If Yeruashi agrees to exchange his life for a peace treaty with Kumogakure, ending the war on this front, he can imdiately send the liberated troops to fight against Iwagakure, leading to the imminent end of the Third Ninja World War.
The Third Ninja World War will end with an unconditional victory for Konoha.
