Wok Shadow Ninja

Chapter 375: Everyone is Waiting

Cloud Village.

Upon hearing that Konoha was sending Jounin Ino Yamanaka, even though the Fourth Raikage kept shouting in his office, "Are we afraid of a little kid?", "A yellow-haired brat is not worth mentioning!", and "A boar is a boar, after all!", his aide, C, still told him to cool off on the side. It's fine if you, the Raikage, don't help, but don't get in the way. I'm busy here.

Ino's ninjutsu had too large an area of effect. Without preparation, a single jutsu could wipe out hundreds or thousands of villagers in an instant.

C was extremely busy. His three shadow clones and his main body worked together, directing the ninjas in the evacuation of the villagers.

The Cloud Village had two Tailed Beasts, the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails, and had ample experience in dealing with them on a daily basis.

But Tailed Beasts and ninjas were different.

Tailed Beasts only had a couple of moves and no brains. Ninjas were not like that.

Against a Tailed Beast, civilians could take shelter in basements. But against Ino, that wouldn't work. If a Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave came down, you go to the basement? Are you trying to die faster?

No nonsense. Take the necessary living supplies and go to the mountains outside the village to take temporary shelter.

Carry valuable items with you as much as possible. When the flood comes, at most it will wash away some tables and chairs; there won't be much loss…

Now, it was a situation where both sides were afraid. Because of the dark history of the Gold and Silver Brothers' sneak attack on the Second Hokage, Konoha was worried they would make a sinister move. They were also afraid that Ino would unleash her big moves in the Cloud Village.

C directed the villagers around in circles, and in the middle of it all, he had to appease the emotions of the martial faction ninjas. These guys were discontented and clamored to teach the Konoha ninjas a lesson.

C didn't spoil these brainless guys either and had them all dragged away.

The Cloud Village, with a "we have good wine for friends, and shotguns for jackals" mentality, was gearing up for battle.

Everyone was very busy. The Fourth Raikage had nothing to do. He estimated the speed of Yugito and the arrival time of the Konoha blind date group, and stood at the village gate like an iron tower, waiting. He waited for a whole day! But no one came…

Danzō and Hiruko, who had hidden in the Cloud Village in advance to fish in troubled waters, were also full of question marks. Where are they? Why haven't they come yet?

The Fourth Raikage shook off the white frost on his body. He had stood at the gate for a day and a night. With his physique, he wasn't tired at all, but something was wrong!

"Where is Yugito? And the people from Konoha?" he asked C with his hoarse voice.

C was also quite puzzled. Yugito usually had the air of a mature older sister and was considered a mature, stable, and highly capable person among the jinchuriki. Now, just welcoming the Konoha group, could such a simple mission go wrong?

He quickly sent people to inquire.

The result was news of the cat and dog war in the Land of Hot Water.

After hearing the report, the Fourth Raikage was silent for two minutes, and then smashed his new desk to pieces.

"What is all this nonsense! What cats and dogs? I don't understand. Say something I can understand!"

C held the report and analyzed it seriously. "Initially, it should have been that Yugito liked those cats. The Konoha side immediately joined the dog's side. Now, on the surface, it's a dispute between cats and dogs, but in reality, it's a contest between the two villages. Neither side can back down."

The Fourth Raikage sat there like a king, waiting for what was next.

C hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't ask the question, "Boss, do you like cats or dogs?" He pointed out sharply, "We must support Yugito."

C suggested that they could use this cat-dog dispute as an opportunity to escalate the conflict and test Konoha's bottom line.

The Fourth Raikage pictured himself surrounded by a group of kittens and shuddered! He liked lifting weights, not animals, especially small animals. That was too different from his style.

Testing was fine, but he couldn't sacrifice his own face, right? Two women could argue over whether cats or dogs were better. There was nothing wrong with female ninjas having a little love in their hearts. But for a rough man like him, who was almost fifty, to go and mess around with cats and dogs?

Is this testing Konoha's bottom line? This is testing my bottom line!

No, absolutely not.

The duration of the Great Ninja War was uncertain. What if it lasted for several years? At that time, one side would shout, "You dogs of Konoha, come out and die!" and the other side would say, "You cat cubs of the Cloud Village, come and call me daddy!"

The serious Great Ninja War would instantly lose its flavor.

C also knew that this matter was a bit difficult for his boss, so he didn't insist. "Neither Yugito nor the Konoha ninjas have made a move. Currently, the conflict is only verbal. We can only wait for the civilians in the Land of Hot Water to decide the winner themselves."

The Fourth Raikage punched through a wall. "Fine, then we'll wait!"

The protagonist, the Cloud Village, was watching. Jiraiya in Konoha had been nervous for several days, even sleeping in his full gear, worried that he wouldn't be ready when Ino reverse-summoned him.

When the news of the cat-dog dispute reached Konoha, he was also a bit dumbfounded. Shikaku made a judgment similar to C's: We are not in a hurry. The correct choice now is to respond to all changes by remaining unchanged.

Konoha, Cloud, Stone, Mist, including the already eliminated Sand, Akatsuki, and the people of the Kara organization were all paying attention to this inexplicable cat and dog war…

As the "fuse" of the incident, Koji Kashin, as if nothing had happened, ate grilled fish and came to the Land of Hot Water to watch the cat and dog war from afar for a couple of glances, then shook his head and left the scene.

After seven days of fighting and quarreling, the event in the Land of Hot Water, which was called a festival but was actually a farce, finally came to an end.

When the festival ended, everyone went back to their own homes. Those who should farm, farmed, and those who should do business, did business. The cat-dog dispute would never have a winner.

Nekobaa was frightened by this matter. She, a lonely old woman, couldn't bear the blame for causing a Great Ninja War. She quickly summoned Tamaki home.

Tamaki left the main group with her seven cats. Ino took Pakkun and the other eight ninja hounds to the hospital and then got a receipt for "treatment fee of nine hundred thousand ryo."

Pakkun and the others would go back on their own after their pollen sickness was cured; she didn't need to worry about them.

Accompanied by Yugito, Ino went to the Land of Vegetables and met Old Man Hishaku, who was said to be a "good pig farmer in the ten miles and eight villages." She also saw Tonton's child, Tontsuke, a two-year-old pet pig.

The two pigs, Tonton and Tontsuke, couldn't be said to be similar, only that they were exactly the same.

The difference was that Tonton wore clothes and a pearl necklace around her neck and also seemed smarter. The moment a knife was picked up, it knew to run. Tontsuke wore no clothes and was usually silly. Ino gestured with a knife for a long time, but it didn't react at all.

Next, they were going to the Cloud Village, so these two pigs could only be left in the Land of Vegetables for now.

The violent maniacs of the Cloud Village were not as easy to talk to as the people of Konoha. Tonton looked quite springy and delicious. Ino couldn't protect a pig twenty-four hours a day. Maybe with one moment of inattention, it would end up on the Fourth Raikage's dining table…
