“Crack!”
Inside the Kumogakure camp, the Commander furiously smashed his teacup on the ground.
His face was extremely grim as he listened to his subordinate’s report.
The Raikage’s strongest Guard had been killed!
This matter must be reported to the Raikage immediately!
But now, there was no trace of the Raikage...
“Commander, the Guard has fallen in battle.” The messenger Ninja, kneeling on the ground, pressed his forehead to the dirt. “He was accidentally poisoned by a Uchiha, and ultimately succumbed to the poison!”
The Commander slammed his fist onto the sand table, making the Konoha flags representing the Village wobble precariously.
He suddenly remembered something: before leaving, the Raikage had dispatched Ginkaku and Kinkaku to the battlefield to assist the strong man in killing Konoha Ninja.
With two Elite Jonin assisting, it was impossible for the Guard, given his strength, to be easily killed.
Something must have happened...
The Commander roared furiously, “Where are Ginkaku and Kinkaku?! The Raikage clearly sent those brothers to assist!”
The tent was silent.
The adjutant bit the bullet and stepped forward, explaining, “We didn’t see those two in the battlefield…”
Hearing this, the Commander’s face turned ashen. “Those two dared to abandon their post! I will report this matter in full to the Raikage!”
Clearly, Ginkaku and Kinkaku bore a great responsibility for the strong man’s death.
If the two brothers had been on the battlefield, that Uchiha would not have succeeded.
Ginkaku and Kinkaku were powerful Elite Jonin who possessed Sage of Six Paths Treasures. If the three of them had united to kill the enemy, Konoha would never have won, and the Raikage’s Guard would certainly not have fallen!
“Where in the world did Ginkaku and Kinkaku go?” the Commander roared. “Go and call them here, quickly!”
“Yes, Commander!” The adjutant turned to leave.
Just then, the tent’s curtain was roughly pulled open, and a strong smell of blood instantly permeated the air.
“No need to look, we’re here!”
Ginkaku’s mouth still had traces of dried blood, while Kinkaku nonchalantly tossed a Kumogakure forehead protector.
The Commander’s face instantly turned ashen: “You abandoned your posts, causing the Guard to fall alone in battle!”
When the two arrived at the camp, they already knew about the strong man’s death.
This was simply the greatest news!
This way, no one could tell them what to do anymore.
Without the Raikage and the strong man, they could act as they pleased on the battlefield.
Given the two brothers’ qualifications, becoming the Raikage was not a big deal.
After all, many Jonin in the Village supported them…
Facing the Commander’s questioning, Ginkaku grinned, revealing beast-like teeth. “That brute died, so what? What does it have to do with us?”
Kinkaku then threw the forehead protector to the ground and spat out the Sage of Six Paths Treasures - Red Gourd and the Seven-Star Sword from his mouth. “You’re so noisy and annoying!”
The temperature inside the tent plummeted.
The Commander felt a sudden palpitation as he watched Kinkaku take out the Gourd.
This guy wouldn’t be thinking of attacking him, would he?
With the Raikage not present, if it really came to a fight, the Commander was truly no match for the two brothers.
He was about to persuade them to calm down when the adjutant beside him spoke first.
“How dare you! Are you trying to seize power?!”
Hearing this, the Commander’s face instantly turned pale; he felt like he wanted to kill the adjutant.
At this moment, the adjutant had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation.
Ginkaku’s pupils instantly turned into beast-like vertical slits, and red Chakra manifested on his body: “Smart people die quickly…”
“Bastards, are you really trying to seize power?!” The adjutant’s hand was already on his kunai.
Ginkaku and Kinkaku did not respond, launching an attack without warning.
…
The Commander’s body was hung on the camp’s flagpole, his neck deformed by the Crimson Rope.
The adjutant’s head rolled to the side of the sand table, and his headless body was thrown out of the tent.
The two announced the change of power in the most brutal way.
After learning of the strong man’s death, the two brothers did not hesitate to launch a coup.
After all, they had also killed the Raikage…
Behind Ginkaku and Kinkaku stood dozens of Jonin, all loyal subordinates.
The Kumogakure Ninja in the camp looked at this scene with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
They had not expected the Ginkaku brothers to be so deranged as to kill the Commander!
If the Raikage were to find out about this, the two would definitely be in deep trouble.
“From now on, this place is under our brothers’ command.” Kinkaku kicked the adjutant’s head away, holding the Sage of Six Paths Treasures - Red Gourd in his hand. “Anyone with an opinion can step forward.”
“Are you trying to seize power?” Several Kumogakure Ninja immediately stepped forward, pointing at the two and questioning them.
“When the Raikage returns, he will never let you off!”
Ginkaku toyed with the Basho Fan, then casually waved it.
“Boom!”
A five-element Chakra storm swept towards the people who had spoken.
Those individuals had no time to react and were instantly shredded into blood mist.
In the crimson blood mist, Ginkaku licked the bits of flesh clinging to the corner of his mouth. “Anyone else want to try?”
This time, no Kumogakure Ninja present dared to speak again.
Seeing no one objected, Ginkaku showed a satisfied smile.
He stomped on the adjutant’s head, crushing it, and announced, “All troops, listen to my command!”
…………
Konoha Commander’s Camp.
Nara Commander clenched his fists excitedly upon hearing the news of the great victory on the front lines.
Konoha had finally achieved victory in the war against Kumogakure.
Especially after learning that the powerful strong man had been killed, Nara Commander’s mouth was almost split to his ears.
The strong man had been active on the battlefield during this period, causing Konoha great losses.
Now, hearing the news of his death was simply the greatest good news.
He quickly asked the Ninja responsible for the report, “Who killed him?”
The Ninja responsible for the report shook his head. “I don’t know him, but he has a Sharingan.”
He was only from the reconnaissance squad and did not participate in the battle.
Upon seeing the strong man’s death, he immediately returned to report the matter.
“Someone from the Uchiha Clan?” Nara Commander fell into thought.
In his impression, the Uchiha should not have had the strength to kill the strong man.
Even the Clan Leader, Uchiha Tanaka, was completely suppressed by the strong man in battle and ultimately retreated in disarray.
“Oh, that Uchiha knows Hiruzen, Mirror, and Flame Jonin,” the Ninja added.
Nara Commander suddenly recalled the intelligence that the Clan Leader had sent from the Southwest Battlefield earlier.
It was filled with praise for Renye’s contributions on the Southwest Battlefield.
Initially, he didn’t know who Renye was and had to ask others to find out.
“Could it be him?!”
Although it was a question, he was very certain.
Because the only Uchiha who fit the description was Renye, and coupled with the Clan Leader saying that the poison he developed was very strong…
Nara Commander easily guessed the entire sequence of events.
With Hiruzen Sarutobi and others assisting, plus the powerful poison, it was indeed possible to kill the strong man!
Nara Commander instructed the reporting Ninja, “When Renye Jonin returns, notify me immediately!”
After the reporting Ninja left, he couldn’t help but sigh:
“The Clan Leader was truly accurate.”
