# Chapter 922: The Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire!
"What did you say!!"
A roar filled with Anger echoed from within the Cloud Hidden Village in the Land of Lightning.
It suddenly resounded through the cloud-shrouded, towering mountains.
Following Crocodile's Order, Ay, who had just rushed back to the Village, heard News that shocked him immensely.
The Daimyo of their Land of Lightning was dead!
Moreover, all his relatives, the Samurai responsible for his close Guard, and the Cloud Hidden Ninja they had sent were all killed overnight.
It was said that every single one of them died having drained all their Blood.
Especially the horrifying scene in the Daimyo's room where the entire Tatami was soaked in Blood.
It was said that even the Senior Ninja who went to investigate couldn't help but vomit.
Some Maids, Officials, and other Ordinary People who witnessed it were even scared completely mad.
"Cough cough, Lord Ay, according to the Investigation, it should have been the Chinoike Clan."
"However, it's still unclear how they managed to bypass the Outer Ninja and sneak into the Palace."
"Because we found that the Daimyo and his wife were the first to die, followed by his children and relatives."
"Only then did the Samurai and Ninja, who noticed the abnormality due to the strong Smell of Blood, follow."
The Cloud Hidden Jonin, who had personally gone to the Capital City of the Land of Lightning to understand the Situation, spoke slowly and deliberately, looking at Ay and Killer B, who was still just a Young Man beside him.
"The 'Chinoike Clan'..."
Ay muttered, trying hard to recall anything about them.
However, this was a Ninja Clan from hundreds of years ago.
He wasn't the type of Personality who liked reading Historical Records and Books, so he couldn't remember.
Fortunately, the Cloud Hidden Jonin in front of him had done his homework.
"Lord Ay, the 'Chinoike Clan' was originally a Ninja Clan within our Land of Lightning during the Warring States Period."
"They possessed a Bloodline Limit called the 'Ketsuryugan'. Its specific Ability was Genjutsu comparable to the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan and the Ability to control Blood..."
"However, the Daimyo at the time exiled their Entire Race to the 'Valley of Hell' in the Land of Hot Water, and then hired the Uchiha Clan to guard them..."
After hearing this lengthy Explanation, Ay finally had a general Understanding of the Whole Story.
"So, for some reason, this 'Chinoike Clan' came out of the 'Valley of Hell' and even snuck into the Capital City for revenge, killing the Daimyo. Have their whereabouts been found?"
Ay asked with a somber Expression, secretly cursing the Daimyo of that era in his Heart for being foolish.
A Ninja Clan comparable to the Uchiha Clan was actually imprisoned for hundreds of years?
And under the baseless Crime of the 'Ketsuryugan being ominous'?
Idiot!
Of course, Ay only thought this to himself...
The Cloud Hidden Jonin replied, "The Ninja responsible for guarding the Palace on our side only managed to kill three of the enemy. The remaining four or five fled in the Direction of the Land of Demons."
"Land of Demons?"
Ay was a little surprised.
Could this 'Chinoike Clan' have some connection with the Moryo?
"Then how many people died on our side?"
The Cloud Hidden Jonin said with an ugly Expression, "Of the two Jonin Squads responsible for guarding the Daimyo, only Jonin Matsui survived, but he is severely wounded and is receiving Blood transfusion Treatment at the Hospital."
A Jonin Squad doesn't mean all members are Jonin.
It refers to a Team led by one Jonin with three Chunin.
"That means with a similar number of people, the enemy had three deaths, while we only had one survivor!"
Ay immediately gritted his teeth.
While his dislike for the Daimyo from a hundred years ago grew stronger, he also began to feel dissatisfied with the successive Daimyo since then.
For the past few decades, their Cloud Hidden Village.
Had been trying to surpass Konohagakure and become the Strongest Ninja Village in the Ninja World.
Yet these Daimyo completely ignored such a powerful Bloodline Limit family!
"Good riddance!!!"
Ay couldn't help but curse out loud.
"Big Brother, what's wrong?"
Killer B looked up at Ay in Doubt, and the Cloud Hidden Jonin in front of him also had a surprised Expression.
"Uh, I meant it's good that those three 'Chinoike' Ninja are dead!"
Ay awkwardly explained quickly, then solemnly gave an Order.
"Since that's the case, immediately transmit the Intelligence on the 'Chinoike Clan' and the 'Ketsuryugan' to the Stone Village and the Third Kazekage of the Land of Demons!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing the Order, the Cloud Hidden Jonin quickly left the Raikage's Office.
As for how to handle the death of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning...
No one mentioned it.
Because no one knew what to do...
And Ay, who already knew the Truth about the World Government.
Vaguely felt that it was better not to interfere too much in this Matter.
Let the future World Government decide.
"B, hurry up and get ready. We need to take three thousand people to the Land of Iron!"
"Okay, Big Brother!"
Killer B didn't ask why; he was already used to following Ay's instructions.
Land of Fire, Konohagakure.
Since it was occupied by Aramaki, many aspects have inevitably changed.
In terms of the overall Environment.
The Walls and Buildings destroyed in the Direction of the Main Gate are still in a state of Ruins.
The large rocks previously scattered everywhere have been cleared away by the Ninja.
However, the Bloodstains left by those killed by them, as well as the collapsed civilian houses, still remain in place, making the passing Citizens feel heavy-hearted.
In addition to this.
Many Army Soldiers wearing Black Military Uniforms and fully armed, and Army Officers wearing Black Coats, have appeared in Konohagakure.
They seem to have replaced the Ninja, taking Over the Patrol and security of the entire Village.
From time to time, one can see a Team of Army Soldiers walking down the street with expressionless faces.
They paid no attention to the gazes filled with Hatred and Fear hidden in the houses on either side.
Because they were used to it!
Every Time they finished a Conquest of a World, they would definitely be initially hated by the local people.
After all, those Ninja casualties and the unlucky ones who were affected.
Definitely had their own Relatives and Friends.
So this kind of thing was unavoidable.
It could only be left to the World Government's subsequent Rule Policy and Time to slowly soothe this Hatred.
The World Government was already very skilled at these things...
At this moment, Senju Tobirama stood alone in the Office on the top floor of the Hokage Residence, gazing deeply at the Sky above Rōran.
His experiences over the past few days made him feel that they were more exciting and incredible than when he was alive.
The Invasion of the World Government, the Defeat of Big Brother Hashirama, the Defeat of Konohagakure, and the News he had just received not long ago about the Moryo Army in the Land of Demons and the White Monster Army in the Land of Iron...
If he had to describe it with one word.
Chaos!
And Konoha here had divided into two Teams to deal with this Chaos.
One was a diplomatic team led by Hashirama Senju, Orochimaru, Nara Shikaku, Minato Namikaze, Kushina, Queen Sara, and two Hyuga Clan Elders.
They would go with Admiral Aramaki to Rōran for a Meeting with the World Government.
Minato Namikaze's Legs.
Had already been healed with the help of the Army Bio-Alchemist.
And the Nine-Tails, at Aramaki's persuasion, had temporarily returned to Kushina's Body, waiting for the day it would be completely released by the World Government.
In fact, Minato Namikaze was initially against this Matter.
After all, everyone knew that if a Jinchuriki had their Tailed Beast extracted, there was only one Fate: Death.
However.
After Aramaki spoke with Admiral Akainu.
He stated that the World Government had a Method to ensure Kushina would not die.
In the eyes of Orochimaru and others, this was simply incredible.
However, thinking that the World Government was a super Influence/Power that Ruled over many Worlds, they reluctantly accepted it.
It was just that Minato Namikaze's Heart was still struggling.
This was completely Gambling with Kushina's Life.
But Rationality told him he had no choice.
The only thing he could do was Pray in his Heart that the World Government was truly that miraculous...
The other Team was a Ninja Army of five thousand led by Jiraiya and Uchiha Fugaku as Commander and Deputy Commander.
Their Mission was to go into the Land of Bears.
To take Over from Fourth Kazekage Rasa and the Sand Hidden Ninja, and together with the Iwagakure Ninja, resist the advance of the Moryo Army.
At that time, Rasa would take the Sand Hidden Ninja and turn towards the Land of Swamps to Support Chiyo and Pakura.
To stop the Black Feather Demon who was merging the Soul and Body of the Moryo...
"What did you say!!"
A roar filled with Anger echoed from within the Cloud Hidden Village in the Land of Lightning.
