Chapter 147 - Chapter 147: The Arrival of the Cloud Ninjas

He was speechless. But how should the strength of the other party be explained? Although it is very ridiculous, it is also possible to be true.

If it is ridiculous, then it means the other party is deliberately making excuses.

Yugao simply did not move the other party, Uchiha Ryosuke simply was not willing to tell Yugao the secret of becoming stronger. Even on the bed, he casually said a random answer.

This can only explain that the other party is a guy who does not take women seriously.

Otherwise, how to explain the other party becoming so strong at such a young age?

Even in his heart, he was starting to be afraid. If the other party really could become stronger every day just by training, or even generate chakra just by making love—

Then what exactly does it count as that he sent Yugao over? Helping the other party increase his chakra amount?

'Damn it.'

He actually helped the other party become stronger, how could he be so foolish?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say, "Yugao, you don't need to go probe for information anymore in the future."

No matter which case it was, Yugao no longer needed to go.

After hearing this, Yugao felt relieved. With her understanding of that terrifying man, every time she went, she would just be toyed with.

"Okay, Lord Hokage. Then I will take my leave."

The Hokage waved his hand, letting her exit the room, while he himself had a gloomy look on his face.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the information revealed by Uchiha Ryosuke was serious.

The other party trained every day. From the very beginning, following Might Guy in training, then later training alone in the small forest, and his strength was getting stronger and stronger.

At first, he was even weaker than his own son Asuma, but now he had become this ridiculously strong.

He sighed deeply in his heart. 'How could such a monster appear in the Uchiha clan? It was simply a demon born of nature.'

Was he really destined to be overthrown? Was the Uchiha clan going to take control of Konoha?

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a way to stop the other party.

To stop the other party, he was afraid that only if the First Hokage was resurrected could it be possible. But how could that be possible?

Although he knew the Reanimation Jutsu, the things he had done in the past made him not dare to face the First and Second Hokage.

If they asked about the state of the Senju clan, he wouldn't be able to answer at all. It might even bring trouble.

He was completely out of options.

Because playing any tricks or schemes was useless, the strength of the other party was so overwhelmingly strong that he felt only the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, could suppress him. Even if the Second Hokage was resurrected, he was afraid he wouldn't be a match either.

Perhaps, this was the end.

———

A few days later, a team of more than ten people was slowly approaching Konoha Village.

At a glance, based on the forehead protectors and their attire, it was clear that they were ninjas from Kumogakure.

Among this group, three Jonin were leading ten Chunin. Their purpose in coming to Konoha was, naturally, to deliver the ransom.

Actually, it could also be called a compensation payment.

For safety reasons, such a large sum of money was, of course, carried using a space scroll.

The leading Kumogakure Jonin, Isi, felt extremely conflicted inside.

Such a huge sum of money was about to be handed over to Konoha's Uchiha clan. When had Kumogakure ever paid such a large amount of compensation? But not paying was not an option.

He had been on the battlefield at the time and still remembered the scene vividly.

That Uchiha Ryosuke, who was like a monster, had only thrown a single punch, and all of his ribs had been broken, leading to his capture.

How could there be someone so strong in the ninja world?

Even afterwards, hundreds of elite Kumogakure ninjas had been taken down with just one punch each. It was simply too terrifying.

Regarding the Fourth Raikage's decision to compensate, he could only helplessly agree. Because if they didn't agree to the other party's demands, what if that guy launched an attack on Kumogakure? What could they do?

And the other party obviously had such inclinations. If the other party invaded Kumogakure, could they stop him?

They simply couldn't stop him.

Even though the previous war hadn't involved sending out the entire village's ninja forces, those who had been sent were all elite fighters. Kumogakure had already deployed 80% of its strength.

Even if they sent out more Chunin or Genin, for the other party, he probably wouldn't even need to punch them one by one.

A single Giant Fireball Technique could already wipe out a large number of them.

Although Kumogakure ninjas were not afraid of death, what was the point of such meaningless deaths?

When the news of their defeat reached the village, all the major clans were filled with fear. And upon learning that they had to compensate such a massive sum of money, of course, they objected.

This was equivalent to cutting their own flesh, as the money was coming from their resources.

But the Fourth Raikage had no intention of being polite to them. If they could get rid of Uchiha Ryosuke, then there would be no need to pay compensation.

However, most of the people from these clans had not personally been on the battlefield, but their clans had sent people.

They knew how terrifying that Uchiha Ryosuke was.

Just like the legendary Hashirama Senju, he could take on an entire village alone with ease. And unlike Hashirama, who was reasonable, he was more like his ancestor, Madara Uchiha—extremely domineering.

How could they possibly have a way to deal with him?

Not long after, they also learned that after returning to the village, the Uchiha clan had executed the advisor elder, Danzo.

Who was Danzo?

Ordinary people might not know, but the higher-ups of Kumogakure certainly did.

That man was an extremely dangerous figure, known as the "Darkness of the Shinobi World," constantly stirring up trouble in various nations.

Such a person, within Konoha, was essentially the second-in-command.

And they had also heard rumors that even the first-in-command, the Third Hokage, had been beaten and sent flying.

To them, a village's Kage was undoubtedly the strongest person in that village, the one with the highest authority.

They simply could not believe that the Uchiha clan had dared to kick him away—It was utterly lawless.

Thus, the Fourth Raikage decisively ordered all the major clans to gather funds for compensation and sent people to deliver it.

Not long after, this group arrived outside the gates of Konoha.

The gate guards of Konoha naturally noticed these people and immediately became alert. As the group approached, the guards asked with a wary expression, "You people—what do you want this time?"

The Kumogakure ninjas naturally did not dare to act arrogantly and directly stated their purpose.

"We have come to visit the Uchiha clan and deliver the ransom we promised them."

One of the Konoha Jonin asked in confusion, "What ransom?"

He was guessing in his heart, could this be the compensation payment that the Uchiha clan made them pay after defeating Kumogakure?

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. After all, the Uchiha clan was not a family with a good temper. If the other party did not give a large amount of compensation, how could they possibly just let them go back?

But these compensation payments naturally should be handed over to the Third Hokage.

Kumogakure Jonin Isi was also puzzled. Could it be that the other party did not know about this matter? But he had no intention of telling them about it.

"This matter is none of your concern. Just take us to the Uchiha clan's territory."

The Konoha Jonin's face instantly turned ugly and said firmly, "Since it is ransom, then of course, it should be handed over to the Third Hokage."

He was a supporter of the Third Hokage.

After hearing this, the Kumogakure Jonin's face suddenly changed. What kind of joke was this? He clearly knew that this money was meant for the Uchiha clan.

If it was given to the Third Hokage, wouldn't that offend the Uchiha clan.
