Konohagakure, Land of Fire. In the newly built Hokage Office, "Smash!!!!!" Tsunade slammed her fist heavily on the table. The table instantly split into four or five pieces, and countless documents scattered everywhere.
"Damn it, I didn't expect the combined forces of Kumogakure and Iwagakure to be repelled so quickly. Has Cherry Blossom Village grown to this extent?" Tsunade said, biting her nails furiously.
"Tsunade-sama, this is already the fifth table you've smashed this month. The cost of compensation will be deducted from your salary," Shizune said, standing carefully beside her.
"Tch, stop nagging. Why are you still fussing over such a small matter now? Cherry Blossom Village can be said to be completely opposed to Konoha now. There is no '307' (room for maneuver) for reconciliation. Their opponent's strength has developed to this extent; how can I not be anxious?"
"Although I also find the behavior of those old men very disagreeable, I will absolutely not forgive that Uchiha Susanoo!!! Not only did he almost destroy the village, he didn't even spare the Hokage Rock. I absolutely cannot forgive such a villain!!! He destroyed my grandpa's hard work!!!" Tsunade said furiously.
"So, we in Konoha can no longer allow the Land of Cherry Blossoms to run rampant. If this continues, then sooner or later, that Uchiha Susanoo will definitely attack Konoha again. And at that time, it won't be just him and Deidara; it won't be that simple.
You understand what I mean, Tsunade, right?" An old voice slowly sounded. Only Danzo Shimura and Koharu Utatane slowly walked into the office, followed by Hokage Assistant Nara Shikaku.
There was no surprise on Tsunade's face. She already knew the two were standing outside, watching. She coldly looked at them and said, "Isn't this all your doing?!!!"
Hearing Tsunade's words, Koharu Utatane and Danzo Shimura's faces instantly changed. Danzo Shimura said in a deep voice, "Now is not the time to pursue this. Now we should think of a way to prevent Uchiha Susanoo's strength from continuing to grow!!! This is what you, as the newly appointed Hokage, should do!!!!"
"Hmph!!! You sure know how to change the subject!" Tsunade said with a face full of disdain.
"Alright, alright, Tsunade-sama and the two advisors, don't argue anymore. Now is not the time for quarreling. Don't forget what we are here to do today." Nara Shikaku said, rubbing his forehead with a headache.
"Hmph!!!!" Tsunade snorted coldly and stopped speaking. Seeing Tsunade finally calm down, Danzo Shimura spoke: "Continuing the topic from before, the Land of Cherry Blossoms is Uchiha Susanoo's force. So what we need to do now is to take some necessary measures against the Land of Cherry Blossoms while recuperating."
"I know this without you telling me. The question is, how should we do it? The Land of Cherry Blossoms is too far from the Land of Fire, and this country's strength is not to be underestimated. There is also the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning in between. With Konoha's current strength, it's impossible to do anything to the Land of Cherry Blossoms," Tsunade said indifferently.
"After this incident, not only is Cherry Blossom Village locked in an eternal struggle with Konoha, but the Land of Cherry Blossoms is already an enemy state of the Land of Fire. It's not just our Konoha Village; as the leader of the Land of Fire, the Daimyo must also take action," Koharu Utatane said slowly.
"You mean..." Tsunade was startled and looked at Koharu Utatane and Danzo Shimura with some disbelief. "We have already discussed this matter before. Yesterday, we just sent the results of our discussion to the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Fire, and this is the most stable method right now," Danzo Shimura sighed and slowly said.
In Sunagakure, Land of Wind, Gaara, who had just become the new Kazekage, sat quietly at his desk, looking at the document in his hand. "Is this the result of this war?" Gaara said, a little absent-minded.
"Yes, I truly didn't expect it. Iwagakure and Kumogakure were repelled so quickly. I thought it would be a long-lasting great war..." Kankuro said, somewhat displeased.
"This result is not unexpected. Cherry Blossom Village has developed very quickly in recent years, and its strength has also rapidly increased. Coupled with the existence of Uchiha Susanoo as the Cherry Blossom Kage, it is almost impossible for Kumogakure and Iwagakure to take down the Land of Cherry Blossoms by sending out just those few people," Maki said indifferently.
"They should have fought to the death and lost two, then gotten injured. I didn't expect Kumogakure and Iwagakure to be so useless. They didn't consume much of Cherry Blossom Village's strength, yet they fled first," Kankuro said disdainfully.
"There's nothing that could be done about it. No one expected the Raikage to be severely injured by Uchiha Susanoo so quickly. Seeing their leader defeated, the will of those guys from Kumogakure was greatly weakened. Defeat was inevitable," Maki said calmly.
"We all underestimated Cherry Blossom Village. This village's strength is not weak, and there's also the existence of Uchiha Susanoo," Temari said with a sigh, unwillingly.
"Uchiha Susanoo?" Gaara was startled when he heard this name. He had a deep impression of Uchiha Susanoo. It was Susanoo who controlled the tailed beast within his body and destroyed Konoha. Thinking of this, Gaara's hand instantly clenched into a fist, making a crackling sound.
At this moment, within Cherry Blossom Village, the war supplies compensated by Iwagakure had already been transported to Cherry Blossom Village. There were kunai, shuriken,
explosive tags, military rations pills, food, armor, ninja tools, and various other supplies. They were neatly arranged in front of Cherry Blossom Village's main gate, densely packed like countless small mountains.
Countless ninjas were enthusiastically moving the supplies, transporting them to the warehouses within the village. Susanoo stood quietly on a large tree, watching this scene, his eyes cold. "The war is not over yet. The real battle is about to begin now!!"
