Naruto: In the name of time, shock the ninja world!.

Chapter 218: Give up because it’s useless.

The Fourth Raikage, wearing a Raikage robe and a conical hat, sensed the strong warning from his survival instinct the moment he saw the figure of Hoshino Kaede.

His muscles, as solid as fine iron, bulged one by one, and he said with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes, "You have traveled all the way across the Iron Country to come here. I don't think you are just here for tourism."

No! His strength was beyond my imagination. I was afraid I didn't even have the qualifications to fight him.

Once a conflict occurs, the Hidden Cloud Village will be destroyed in an instant.

The Fourth Raikage thought to himself and tried his best to ask in a calm tone so as not to anger him.

Xingye Feng's eyes flickered slightly, he looked at him with deep eyes, and curled the corners of his mouth: "Travel is only part of it."

The Raikage's heart sank. As expected, he had another purpose. He hoped that it had nothing to do with the Hidden Cloud Village.

Seeing him so alert, Xingye Feng chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, it has nothing to do with you... I think so."

This sentence did not dispel the Raikage's vigilance. He thought for a moment and said straight to the point: "I am just asked by someone to go to Hell Valley."

Hearing this, the Raikage frowned, and after a moment, he said, "The Blood Pond Clan is imprisoned there. Do you want to rescue them?"

pat-

Hoshino Feng snapped his fingers and said in agreement, "The Raikage is very quick-witted. That's what I mean."

It sounds like a compliment, but when you think about it carefully, it feels like something is wrong, as if it is indirectly insulting someone.

When the Raikage heard this, veins popped up on his forehead. He suppressed his anger and said, "This is a matter of my country of lightning. You are being too overbearing."

Hell Valley is within the Kingdom of Thunder, and the Blood Pool Clan is also from the Kingdom of Thunder.

Now outsiders are interfering and trying to bite off a piece of meat from their own country, which is simply throwing the face of a big country to the ground and trampling on it.

Hoshino Kaede had a smile on her lips and did not change her tone because of the Raikage's anger.

"That's wrong. Hegemony is mutual."

"During the Warring States Period, the Thunder Nation drove the Blood Pond Clan into the Hell Valley. They had no power to resist. This was the tyranny of the Thunder Nation."

"And now, I have been entrusted to come and rescue them. You can't stop me. This is my dominance."

"There are two kinds of domineering, one before and one after, and there is no difference between them. How can you say that I am too domineering?"

The Raikage's eyes widened in anger, his lungs almost exploded with rage, this is simply perverse logic! It's bandit logic!

Before he could open his mouth to refute, Xingye Feng continued.

"Perhaps you want to say that this is what the Blood Pool deserves, and it has nothing to do with your Thunder Country."

"But, Raikage, I want to ask you, have you ever been soft-hearted? Even for just a moment."

"On the battlefield, even an experienced ninja would waver for a moment when facing a twelve-year-old genin who had just graduated. Are you really so hard-hearted?"

"After all, what happened back then is a bad debt, and you are the one who is holding on to it."

"For so many years, Blood Pool has been living a life worse than death in Hell Valley. I guess there are only a dozen people left in the tribe."

"Raikage, since you don't want them, then I'll take them, so what's the harm?"

The Raikage remained silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "But they are the residents of the Land of Lightning."

Hearing this, Xingye Feng burst into laughter, and his laughter contained sarcasm and ridicule.

“Residents? Do you really regard them as residents? If they were residents, they shouldn’t have endured the torment and torture in Hell Valley.”

"If they were real residents, they would now be the backbone of the Hidden Cloud Village and a thriving bloodline limit family."

His words were like sharp knives, piercing into the Raikage's broad chest, tearing all the pale words into pieces and laying out the bloody facts in front of everyone.

"They should have great reputation in Kumogakure, but they have none of that. These are all dreams that will be shattered at the slightest touch. No, they don't even have dreams."

Hoshino Kaede doesn't want to comment on what that era was like.

He doesn't care what's happening in the Hidden Cloud Village. All he cares about is his family and friends.

A promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold, he will not break his promise, so, he came.

After saying that, Hoshino Kaede stood up and was about to leave. Just before he took a step, the Raikage's firm voice rang out.

"Forget it. The Blood Pool can't make any waves right now. Let's just leave."

At this last moment, his words were still filled with the interests of the village. Because they were useless, they could be abandoned, and perhaps he could even gain the favor of Xingye Feng.

The Raikage knows exactly who he is and what he is supposed to do, and there is nothing wrong with that because that is what he has to bear.

Behind him, he has to consider not just one clan, but the people of the entire country.

Xingye Feng stopped, without looking back, and spoke calmly with his back to him.

"I respect and understand your choice today."

“If you stand too high, you will inevitably fail to see the darkness in the shadows.”

"I hope that in the future, you can still be as influential as you are today."

After that, he left here. The Raikage looked at him and whispered softly: "I am not like you. I don't have shackles."

Afterwards, the room fell into silence for a long time, with only the sound of someone writing while reviewing documents.

After walking out of the Raikage Building, Hoshino Kaede felt that this trip was not in vain. These days, not only Obito and the others were making progress.

He himself also had a lot of feelings, and the laws of time and space that had not been improved for a long time had loosened a little.

"Indeed, people are different, with different experiences, and the choices they make are also different."

Hoshino Kaede didn't say he was disgusted with the Raikage's actions. He was once a Hokage and could empathize with him.

There were too many things to consider in that position. He himself was strong enough to suppress any voices of resistance, but the Raikage was not, so he was constrained in some things.

Another meaning of choosing is to give up, to give up the other side.

"Lord God, have you reached an agreement?" A voice startled Feng Xingye.

"Eh?" Xingye Feng looked at the neatly arranged group of people and asked in surprise, "You guys... haven't left yet?"

Miya Seien replied: "Well, it was originally mine."

Obito held his head in his hands, looking bored, and said, "The Hidden Cloud Village is totally incomparable to Konoha. It's not interesting at all."

Kakashi rarely agreed with him and nodded in agreement: "Martial arts are prevalent here, and we feel out of place here, so we'll wait here."

Hoshino Kaede smiled and said, "That's right." He touched Obito's head and continued, "There's nothing left here, let's go straight to Hell Valley."

"The Raikage won't stand in the way."

Miya Seien was looking forward to it, his people would soon be saved.

"Before you go, go get some food and water."

Everyone present knew the situation in Hell Valley, so they quickly began to purchase food and water.

Afterwards, the group left the Hidden Cloud Village, took all the supplies, and headed straight for Hell Valley.

In order to prevent the possibility of getting lost, I bought a map.

After a peaceful day, we finally arrived at the end of this trip.
