Land of Lightning, the manor of the client Leinei.
Uchiha Fucheng, waiting to hand over the mission, looked at the other party with a relaxed expression.
However, the son of the Daimyo at this moment was covered in traces of explosions, and his magnificent aristocratic clothing was damaged in several places.
The trembling client from the Land of Lightning cautiously took the sealing scroll submitted by Uchiha, swallowing with difficulty.
"Clan Leader Fucheng, I didn't expect you to come to the Land of Lightning in person. But this mission to exterminate the Chinoike Clan shouldn't have ended like this, right?"
Uchiha Fucheng remained unmoved, lightly tapping the scroll on the table.
"Did the UchihaNinja fail the mission? We turned all three leaders of the Chinoike Clan into corpses. This extra mission result is enough to demand payment, right?"
Leinei looked cautiously at the ruins around him and smiled bitterly, looking somewhat troubled.
"Clan Leader Fucheng, but the Chinoike Clan finally escaped from Hell Valley. Not only did they kill all the stationed Hidden Cloud Ninja, but they also blew up more than half of my manor. I have a hard time explaining to the Hidden Cloud Village just for the loss of those Hidden Cloud Ninja."
Uchiha Fucheng raised his eyes slightly, powerful Chakra overflowing from his body, and blue lightning energy was visible to the naked eye.
"Heh, explain? What are you going to explain to the Hidden Cloud Ninja? Isn't it because their Ninjas were too incompetent that the Chinoike Clan was able to escape from Hell Valley ahead of time? If their Ninjas weren't so useless, why would I have to take action myself?"
Looking at the other party with a bit of dark humor, Uchiha Fucheng continued to guide him.
"Look at you, your manor was blown up. Isn't that because the Hidden Cloud Ninja failed their duty to guard Hell Valley? You should just go and demand compensation from them directly. Those who died were just Hidden Cloud Ninja who failed the mission. What qualifications do those incompetent guys have to demand an explanation from you?"
Uchiha Fucheng leaned forward slightly, immediately increasing the pressure on the other party. "Of course, if you need it, I can help you pass the news that the Hidden Cloud Ninja failed the mission to other countries."
Leinei's face changed drastically. He couldn't afford to provoke those savages from the Hidden Cloud Village.
"No, absolutely not, Clan Leader Fucheng, you are joking."
A cold sweat appeared on Leinei's head. "Those Hidden Cloud Ninja aren't having it easy either. After all, they made sacrifices, so how could I be harsh on them? This matter, cough cough, ends here."
Uchiha Fucheng laughed heartily, pointing at him. He looked arrogant and domineering. "Good, since you don't hold the Hidden Cloud Ninja accountable, it doesn't matter to us. It's just that the final payment for the mission cannot be discounted, and an additional twenty percent protection mission fee must be paid."
Fucheng pointed to the ruined manor and said to him with a smile, "The retaliatory attack by the Chinoike Clan just now was blocked by us Uchiha for you. Those useless Hidden Cloud Ninja who took your protection mission were all only concerned with saving their own lives."
Leinei thought of the miserable state of the Hidden Cloud Ninja leader Toroi and comforted himself helplessly.
"Sigh, forget it. The Hidden Cloud Ninja are too close, and if those savages get hot-headed, they will cause trouble for me. I can't afford to provoke them! The Uchiha are all arrogant and domineering. Looking at this clan leader, he doesn't look like a reasonable person, so I can't afford to provoke him either."
Looking at the aggressive UchihaNinja, he recalled the retaliatory attack by the Chinoike Ninja that had just occurred and could only nod helplessly.
Not only was the mission reward of more than 300 million not a single cent less, but he also had to pay an extra 20% protection fee for "blocking the explosive attack."
This grievance was so suffocating it made one want to vomit blood.
As the son of the Daimyo, Leinei felt increasingly stifled.
He secretly swore, "If I ever hire UchihaNinja for a mission again, I, Leinei, am a dog! No! The entire Land of Lightning is a dog!"
He never wanted to experience this feeling of having a blade held to his throat again.
Leinei yielded to the Uchiha's deterrence, but the Hidden Cloud Village, upon receiving the news, erupted into intense arguments.
Several Hidden Cloud Ninja elders and high-level Advisors all believed that the sudden brain illness of Toroi was very suspicious.
Moreover, the Chinoike Clan's sneak attack on the Hell Valley defense force itself revealed a strange and eerie nature.
How to deal with the UchihaNinja? Should they negotiate with Konoha's top brass? Should they threaten Konoha and the Uchiha?
Every question was a focus of debate for the Hidden Cloud Village's top brass.
"According to intelligence, the UchihaNinja who came to the Land of Lightning this time include more than ten Jonin, and even several elite Jonin. If we send too few Ninjas, let alone holding these UchihaNinja accountable, we probably won't even be able to guarantee their own safety."
"You bunch of cowards, thinking like that is too weak. In the face of Konoha Ninja, we should be tougher. As long as you show enough toughness, Konoha, which fears war, will inevitably compromise with us."
"Tough? How much tougher do you want us to be? Before Toroi's sudden brain illness, he confronted the other party and had his ear cut off directly! Do you want the Jinchuriki to run over and blast the UchihaNinja with a Tailed Beast Ball?"
The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Blue B, was also sitting in the room at this moment. He listened to these unreliable arguments and looked at the ceiling with some displeasure.
Blue B felt increasingly depressed. "The Eight-Tails' emotions are constantly eroding me, but the Village doesn't value it at all. If this continues, I won't be able to suppress the Tailed Beast's Chakra..."
Seeing everyone arguing fiercely, the Third Raikage waved his hand domineeringly, instantly stopping the high-level argument.
"Although it is not yet certain whether Toroi had a sudden illness, we must take this conflict seriously. It is simple to take action directly against the UchihaNinja in the Land of Lightning, but after this matter, we will definitely face various retaliations from the Uchiha Clan and Konoha. This matter should have a premise, which is whether the Hidden Cloud Village wants to go to war with Konoha, and whether going to war with Konoha can obtain the benefits we want. Everyone has seen the various information from the recently concluded Ninja War between Konoha and Amegakure. In terms of strength, Konoha first defeated the Hidden Sand Village, then forced Amegakure to surrender in a crushing state. Everyone is guessing just how much Konoha's strength has expanded."
The current Hidden Cloud Ninja intelligence agency was still in the early stages of rapid development at this time.
Therefore, it could not be as exaggerated as during the Five Kage Summit of the Fourth Ninja War, where they could quickly clarify the various backgrounds of the Akatsuki Organization and the missing-nin information.
At this time, the Hidden Cloud Village was definitely not the type of "muscle-brained" reckless Village in everyone's stereotype; on the contrary, its high-IQ Ninjas and think tanks were very outstanding.
As the assistant to the Third Raikage, the Shi of this generation (Think Tank C) was the first to put forward a suggestion, "Maybe we can push other countries to conduct an 'In-depth Investigation' in Konoha?"
The Third Raikage crossed his arms. "Investigate Konoha? How should we go about it?"
Shi first exchanged glances with several elders before pointing to the map of the Ninja World in the conference room and explaining in detail.
"We can guide several small and medium-sized NinjaVillages, including even NinjaVillages with stronger strength like the Hidden Sand and Amegakure, to let them suggest that Konoha hold an inter-country Chunin Exam. We can also send our Ninjas to go deep into Konoha to conduct reconnaissance. One is to see Konoha's current war potential and Ninja strength. Second, it can also pave the way for Plan B of 'kidnapping Konoha's Kekkei Genkai Ninja'."
The Raikage's eyes lit up. He thought of the next generation "B" who was highly anticipated by everyone, and several outstanding teenagers in the Hidden Cloud Village.
"Garuda, increase altitude, we are flying directly to Stardew Valley, let's not return to Konoha for now."
Uchiha Fucheng and Mikoto piloted the giant eagle and flew straight to their destination.
And other UchihaNinja were responsible for escorting the Chinoike Clan to move to Konoha territory in an orderly manner to choose a place to settle.
Examining the [Tenten's fate dice] in his hand, Uchiha Fucheng's mouth curled up. He easily guessed that this was the study tour activity of Stardew Valley, which had produced benefits!
"The luck is not bad. In the future, these key focus groups on the list should be contacted in batches during various activities."
