Naruto The Thunder Calamity

Raijin was stunned and asked Senju Tobirama in surprise.

Why suddenly point me out? "You've done well, but Iwagakure is different from Kirigakure and Kumogakure."

Senju Tobirama looked at Raijin and had to admit that Raijin's performance in both Kirigakure and Kumogakure was commendable.

"In Kirigakure, you used the advantage of information, the restraint on the Hozuki clan, and the advantage of the sea to take down the ninjas left in the village in batches."

However, even though Raijin performed very well in these two wars, Senju Tobirama still needed to remind Uchiha Raijin.

Strong people often die from overconfidence.

"In Kumogakure, you used the Mangekyou Sharingan and the terrain of Kumogakure Village, but Iwagakure Village doesn't have enough terrain for you to use."

Senju Tobirama said seriously to Uchiha Raijin.

"Does it hurt to use the Mangekyou Sharingan to its full extent?"

Senju Tobirama pointed to his temple with a finger.

"It hurts..."

Raijin pursed his lips, not wanting to admit it, but it did hurt.

The most painful parts were the temples and the eyes.

"You don't need me, a Senju, to tell you that using the Mangekyou Sharingan too often can lead to blindness, right?"

Senju Tobirama tilted his head slightly.

Actually, this was also why Senju Tobirama planned to negotiate peace.

Raijin was indeed very strong now, but in the future, Raijin would be even stronger.

For now, Kumogakure and Kirigakure had completely withdrawn from the stage of the ninja world. The Land of Thunder, the Land of Water, and even the Land of Waves would become the focus of Konohagakure's future development strategy.

So, there was no need to compete with Iwagakure or Sunagakure for the moment.

Moreover, even if Konohagakure won the final victory, would the war really be over?

No, a big hidden village is hard to completely eradicate.

Just like Kirigakure and Kumogakure, even though the villages disappeared, some people still existed.

And after losing their villages, what would these people think of Konohagakure? Wouldn't the hidden organizations recruit these ninjas who lost their countries and homes?

A child protected by a great hidden village as a seed for the future...

So, even if we defeat Iwagakure and Sunagakure, it might seem like Konohagakure is the only village left in the ninja world.

But it just means that Konohagakure's enemies have moved from the open to the shadows.

Although their numbers have decreased, over time, they will become a powerful force.

So, what Konohagakure needs now is not to spend a lot of resources and pay a high price to fight Iwagakure and Sunagakure to the death.

Instead, we should take this opportunity to get enough resources from Sunagakure and Iwagakure, then focus on developing Konohagakure itself while rooting out this hidden organization.

"You're so disobedient."

Tsunade muttered softly beside Raijin.

"I'll try not to use the Mangekyou in the future."

Raijin looked at Tsunade and smiled helplessly.

"But honestly, I think I can kill the Tsuchikage even without the Mangekyou."

Raijin turned to Senju Tobirama and said.

"You..."

Senju Tobirama was instantly annoyed. Was everything I said before for nothing?

"Of course, I think negotiating peace with Iwagakure is also the right move."

Before Senju Tobirama could say anything, Raijin continued.

The reason for saying all this was to make sure I don't rely too much on the Mangekyou and don't directly attack the Tsuchikage.

Although Raijin felt that if he really attacked the Tsuchikage, he could probably kill him.

After all, Dust Release is very powerful, and its reputation as a bloodline limit is well-known.

But... no matter how powerful it is, you still have to hit your target...

Of course, that's not important. The most important thing is that if he attacked the Tsuchikage, whether he succeeded or not, the peace talks would be impossible.

And right now, Raijin also believes that what Konohagakure needs is not to completely crush Iwagakure and Sunagakure in one go.

But peace and stability.

In this war, Konohagakure has already gained a lot of resources. Now, Konohagakure needs enough time to digest these resources.

And compared to Iwagakure and Sunagakure, the hidden threat of Black Zetsu is even more dangerous.

Keeping Sunagakure and Iwagakure around will help Konohagakure deal with Black Zetsu in the future.

After all, Black Zetsu's goal is to collect the tailed beasts. Will Iwagakure and Sunagakure just hand them over? After dealing with Black Zetsu, we can find an excuse to eliminate Iwagakure or Sunagakure.

"So, I think I have a better proposal. Would you like to hear it?"

Raijin asked Senju Tobirama, looking into his eyes.

"Speak..."

Senju Tobirama pursed his lips helplessly, but since Raijin had spoken, he decided to listen.

"Iwagakure wants to negotiate peace, so we're going to the Land of Earth to put pressure on them, right?"

After getting Senju Tobirama's approval, Raijin asked.

"That's right."

Senju Tobirama nodded. Sending Team 7 to the Land of Earth was to show Oonoki that the supply line between Iwagakure and the Land of Grass was no longer safe.

As long as Konohagakure wanted, this supply line could be cut off at any time.

"So, I think I can handle this alone."

"Do you think you're that strong?"

Almost as soon as Raijin spoke, Senju Tobirama stood up, a bit angry.

Didn't he understand what was said before? "I didn't plan to fight Iwagakure directly, I just thought I could..."

Raijin waved his hands and explained his plan to Senju Tobirama.

"Pfft~"

After hearing Raijin's plan, Tsunade couldn't help but laugh.

As expected of you, Uchiha Raijin.

"You..."

Senju Tobirama stared blankly at Uchiha Raijin for a long time before coming back to his senses.

Could an Uchiha really come up with such an idea? But, thinking about it, it might not be impossible.

"Alright, do it, but be careful."

Senju Tobirama pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
