Naruto: Starting as the Third Hokage with Tears in His Eyes

Chapter 183 Meeting Between the Two Villages

"Lord Raikage, you are truly impatient."

Jian Yue's voice was calm and gentle, and it traveled clearly to the other side.

"It seems that the lightning in your village is indeed much faster than the ocean currents in our Land of Water."

"hehe."

The Third Raikage grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth.

"Strength and speed are everything!"

"Kimizuki, your Kirigakure should learn from this."

On the deck of the Hidden Cloud Village, Zuo Yue and the other ninjas all cast provocative and disdainful glances at the Hidden Mist Village.

In their eyes, these guys who only knew how to hide in the fog and launch sneak attacks were not worthy of being compared with their Hidden Cloud Village.

A conflict between allies seemed imminent.

"Hehehe..."

An aged laugh broke the tense standoff.

Elder Yuan Shi, leaning on his cane, walked out from behind Jian Yue.

He raised his head, his cloudy eyes looking at Lei Ying opposite him, and said loudly.

"Lord Raikage is right."

"Since we share the same goal, it's better to do it sooner rather than later."

"What we should be doing now is not comparing whose ship is faster, but sitting down and discussing how to tear apart the Whirlpool Country's defenses as quickly as possible."

Master Yuan's words provided a way out for both sides, who were on the verge of conflict.

His words cleverly transformed Yunren's impatience into a desire for the goal, both flattering the other party and bringing the topic back on track.

"Um."

The Third Raikage nodded, tacitly agreeing with Master Yuan's statement.

Although he was arrogant, he wasn't stupid and could naturally distinguish between what was important and what was not.

"Well said."

Shuiying Jianyue smiled and nodded, echoing Yuan Shi's words.

"Since Lord Raikage is so eager, why don't we move to my flagship for a discussion, so we can work together to finalize the details of this plan?"

This is a gesture of weakness, but also a manifestation of self-confidence.

"good!"

Lei Ying Ai agreed without hesitation.

"Tsuchishiro, Satsuki, come with me!"

He selected his most trusted strategist and most capable subordinate.

The next moment, three figures leaped from the Cloud Village's flagship, stepping on the air waves generated by the Instantaneous Movement Technique, and like cannonballs, crossed a hundred meters of sea surface, landing heavily on the deck of the Mist Village's flagship.

boom!

The solid deck trembled the moment the three landed.

A violent and domineering aura instantly swept across the entire deck.

All the Hidden Mist ninjas felt a suffocating pressure.

The Third Raikage, Toshiro, Zuozue.

The three of them stood there, facing the people of Kirigakure, and their aura was in no way inferior.

Zuo Yue's gaze immediately locked onto Hozuki Kaigetsu in the crowd, a smirk spreading across her face, filled with a provocative fighting spirit.

Hozuki Kaigetsu stared back at him expressionlessly, her eyes cold.

Kaguya Sonosuke's gaze was fixed on the Third Raikage, A, with the greedy and excited look of a wild beast eyeing its prey.

Lei Yingai felt his gaze, turned her head, and gave him a disdainful look.

With just one glance, Kaguya Soranosuke felt a terrifying pressure bearing down on him, making his blood rush faster.

"Haha, that's funny! You're all so energetic!"

Ray Shadow Ai looked around and let out a satisfied laugh.

"Jian Yue, it seems that not all of your subordinates are cowards."

"You flatter me, Lord Raikage."

Jian Yue maintained her gentle smile and gestured for him to proceed.

"Tea has been prepared in the meeting room. Let's go in and talk."

"No need for tea! I'll only drink alcohol!"

Lei Ying Ai strode after Jian Yue toward the cabin, his demeanor more like that of a guest than someone surveying his own territory.

Tsuchishi nodded politely to Genji as a greeting, and then followed him.

Zuo Yue deliberately bumped into Hozuki Kaigetsu with her shoulder as she passed by, while whispering a provocative remark.

"Hey, Haiyue, next time, the battle won't end so easily."

Hozuki Kaigetsu didn't even glance at him. With a swift movement, like ripples on water, she easily avoided his collision.

Zuo Yue bumped into nothing, stumbled, and a look of surprise flashed across her face.

"Quiet."

Hozuki Kaigetsu finally spoke, his voice chillingly cold.

After saying that, he turned around and followed the Mizukage's group.

Zuo Yue stood there, stunned, her face turning black with anger.

On the deck, the ninjas from both villages continued their fierce exchange of glances.

The flagship office door slowly closed.

It shuts out all the noise and hostility from the outside world.

A joint operations conference that would determine the fate of the Land of Whirlpools and could even change the entire landscape of the ninja world was about to begin.
