Naruto The Thunder Calamity

As some of the supplies were escorted back to Konohagakure by a group of ninjas, Iwagakure and Sunagakure officially withdrew from war mode. However, Konohagakure still had one important task to complete.

This task was crucial. The troops stationed in the direction of the Land of Grass and the Land of Rivers began to move quickly. They didn't enter the Land of Grass or the Land of Rivers but advanced directly to Amegakure along the border of the Land of Fire.

In just a few days, Amegakure was surrounded by Konohagakure's forces. Outside the main gate of Amegakure, Tsunade led the way, with Raijin, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya standing by her side, silently watching the man kneeling in the rain, his head wrapped in white bandages.

Wearing a loose white kimono, the man knelt in the rain.

"Everyone! The incident with Kumogakure was our fault. As the current leader of Amegakure, I hope my death can give Amegakure a chance to survive."

Lifting his head, Kosuke Okamura silently looked at the four young ninjas not far away and the line of famous RedRed ninjas behind them. Kosuke Okamura had no intention of running away. He knew that if Konohagakure wanted him dead, he couldn't escape.

Not only him, but most of the people in the village couldn't escape either. Keeping a few survivors would already be very lucky.

So, Kosuke Okamura had no choice but to use this method to try to gain a chance for himself and Amegakure.

Tsunade frowned upon hearing this. Yes, defeating Amegakure was too easy for Konohagakure. But now, Amegakure was using this tactic.

Tsunade was not moved by Kosuke Okamura's spirit. To her, this was a shameless and lowly trick.

If she didn't agree to Kosuke Okamura's request, Konohagakure would be labeled as cruel and bullying. But if she agreed, other small villages might do the same in the future, and Konohagakure could suffer a big loss.

So, Tsunade hesitated. After all, she was only a sixteen-year-old girl, experiencing this for the first time, and it was hard to make a reasonable decision quickly.

This made Raijin impatient. This action was prepared by Senju Tobirama to build momentum for Tsunade. Every second Tsunade hesitated, the momentum of this action decreased.

If it were something more difficult, it would be understandable. But now, it was just a small Amegakure.

Confession? Do you deserve it?

"Watch me…"

Raijin quietly tugged Tsunade's sleeve. Tsunade was puzzled and looked at Raijin.

"Whisper to me."

Raijin continued to speak softly to Tsunade.

Tsunade: "???"

Although she didn't know what Raijin wanted to do, Tsunade leaned in and whispered to Raijin.

"What should I say?"

Before Tsunade could get a response from Raijin, she saw Raijin nod.

"Okay."

Raijin casually took a kunai from his ninja tools bag, playing with it as he slowly walked towards Kosuke Okamura.

What? What are you going to do? But the confusion quickly disappeared, and Tsunade adjusted her attitude, watching Raijin's actions with confidence.

Orochimaru silently looked at Tsunade, then at Raijin, pursing his lips without saying a word.

In fact, using the wind to gather information was a technique Orochimaru developed by accident. He was using it now just to prevent any ambushes from the Hidden Rain Village. He definitely wasn't trying to eavesdrop on Tsunade and Raijin's conversation. Definitely.

So now, Orochimaru was also curious about what Raijin was going to do.

"Confess? You have no sins, and Konohagakure isn't here to judge you."

Standing five steps away from Kosuke Okamura, Raijin looked at the man kneeling before him.

"During the war, the Hidden Rain Village could take any action, whether it was cooperating with the Hidden Rain or ambushing Konohagakure's troops with Kumogakure. It was all justified."

Seeing that Kosuke Okamura had no intention of speaking, Raijin continued.

"And now, since the Hidden Rain and Konohagakure haven't signed a ceasefire agreement, we're not here to punish the Hidden Rain, but to... end the war."

"As the current leader of the Hidden Rain, I am willing to surrender to Konohagakure," Kosuke Okamura said to Raijin.

"Ah… regarding this matter, we've already made a decision. Considering the Hidden Rain Village is suspected of researching large-scale destructive ninja tools, for the future of the ninja world, Konohagakure does not accept the Hidden Rain Village's surrender," Raijin said with a light smile.

Confess? Using moral blackmail to hope Konohagakure would spare the Hidden Rain? What are you thinking? This is just a normal confrontation between two villages.

Public opinion can be controlled afterward. As for the so-called large-scale destructive ninja tools, it was just an excuse Raijin came up with to brush off Kosuke Okamura.

"Large-scale… destructive ninja tools?" Kosuke Okamura asked in confusion, eyes wide.

"Yes."

With that, Raijin threw the kunai in his hand, and Kosuke Okamura instinctively dodged. In the next moment, the Kusanagi sword was in Raijin's hand, and with a flash of lightning, Raijin's figure disappeared. In an instant, Raijin and Kosuke Okamura passed each other.

A thin line of blood appeared on Kosuke Okamura's neck.

"Thud!"

Kosuke Okamura's body collapsed into a puddle, his consciousness fading into darkness.

"Charge!"

Seeing this, Tsunade shouted without hesitation, leading the charge towards Kumogakure.

A fierce battle began in the Hidden Rain Village. Amidst the clash of blades, countless drops of blood-stained rainwater flowed into the village's drainage system.

Next year, the land of the Hidden Rain Village would surely be very fertile.
