Second Tsuchikage: Opening against Uchiha Madara Chapter 055

Approximately four months later,

The First Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village abdicated, and the Second Raikage took over.

At the same time, a message arrived:

The Hidden Cloud Village wanted to make peace with the Hidden Leaf Village.

“What a joke! We risked our lives and lost so many brothers, and the result is a peace treaty?!”

Upon hearing this news, Kinkaku and Ginkaku immediately rushed to the Raikage’s office to question the Second Raikage.

“Second Raikage! I want an answer from you! Are you even a man, you bastard? If you’re a man, don’t make peace with the Hidden Leaf Village!”

Kinkaku ignored the Second Raikage’s status, slammed his hand on the table, and stepped forward.

“Second Raikage, we’ve lost so many brothers; I will never accept a peace treaty!” Ginkaku also said, his face grim.

Both of them were extreme hawks in the Hidden Cloud Village, so naturally, they wouldn’t agree to a peace treaty.

The Second Raikage, missing an arm, supported his forehead with his single hand.

At this moment, he looked at the two unyielding men, a wave of irritation rising in his heart.

“It’s because of hawks like you! We, the Hidden Cloud Village, failed to see the disparity and rashly fought against the Hidden Leaf Village!”

“You kept bragging that the Hidden Leaf Village was a house about to collapse, a sick man!”

“But the Hidden Leaf Village has been ‘sick’ for several years, and we’re the ones on the verge of collapse!”

The Second Raikage gritted his teeth in anger.

He should have listened to Mu back then and quit while they were ahead.

Slowly digest the land in the northern part of the Land of Fire, then gradually advance and slowly erode the Hidden Leaf Village.

Now, all the land they had conquered was gone.

In the end, they even had to make peace, making the Hidden Cloud Village almost the biggest clown in the ninja world.

Kinkaku and Ginkaku wanted to say more, but the Second Raikage interrupted them.

“Enough, I am the Raikage!”

The Second Raikage turned his back directly, no longer looking at them.

“You will regret this!”

Kinkaku and Ginkaku shot a sinister glance at the Second Raikage, then left.

“Hmph!”

The Second Raikage dismissed their threats with disdain.

These two were getting bolder and bolder; besides the First Raikage, no one could control them.

…

“Big brother, what should we do?”

Anger flashed in Ginkaku’s eyes as he looked at his older brother.

“Since this guy won’t listen to us… then we’ll just have to…”

A flicker of madness and extreme killing intent passed through Kinkaku’s eyes.

When he felt his brother’s killing intent, Ginkaku’s expression changed.

“Big brother, the First Raikage is still alive; we can’t do anything to betray the village!”

Ginkaku hurriedly advised, still holding some reverence for the First Raikage.

“Hmph! The First Raikage has already proven himself to be incompetent. Although he established the Hidden Cloud Village, he didn’t lead us to defeat the Hidden Leaf Village, and that’s his fault!”

“Even more foolishly, he chose others and didn’t choose us!”

Kinkaku said indignantly.

He and his brother had shed blood for the Hidden Cloud Village, captured the Eight-Tails, subdued the Two-Tails; which one didn’t rely on their Six Paths Treasured Tools?

Without them, could the Hidden Cloud Village have achieved what it has today?

Ginkaku fell silent, thinking carefully that the Hidden Cloud Village indeed owed them!

“Ginkaku, if I become the Raikage, I’ll split the Hidden Cloud Village with you!”

Kinkaku gripped Ginkaku’s shoulder seriously and said.

Ginkaku’s pupils constricted, imagining a scenario where they divided the world.

A smile involuntarily crept up the corner of his mouth.

“We command over twenty elite Jonin, plus the Six Paths Treasured Tools, and the power we gained from the Nine-Tails… The Hidden Cloud Village might not be ours!”

“Do you dare to do it?”

Kinkaku stared intently into Ginkaku’s eyes.

After some internal struggle, Ginkaku felt they had a chance of winning.

“I dare!”

Ginkaku nodded fiercely.

“Hahaha! With us brothers working together, who can stand against us!” Kinkaku laughed loudly, patting Ginkaku’s shoulder hard.

…

“Report, Tsuchikage-sama, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, has led his escort team to the Hidden Cloud Village for peace talks!”

Mu had already received intelligence that Tobirama Senju was going to the Hidden Cloud Village for peace talks.

Mu raised an eyebrow.

This plot development was definitely earlier than in the original story.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others were still young, yet Tobirama Senju was still bringing them along.

“Hmm, good, I understand.”

Mu intended to go alone.

Leading the Hidden Stone Village’s Anbu would be too conspicuous. Currently, the Land of Earth was maintaining friendly relations with other countries, and him leading Anbu across borders would easily damage the Earth-Lightning relationship.

Besides, against Tobirama Senju,

He alone was enough; bringing the Anbu would only be a hindrance.

“I’ll also kill Kinkaku and Ginkaku and take the Six Paths Treasured Tools.”

“If possible, Kinkaku and Ginkaku’s cells can be studied.”

Kinkaku and Ginkaku could withstand the Nine-Tails’ power, which meant there was something special about their bodies.

The original story also clearly stated that Kinkaku and Ginkaku possessed Six Paths lineage.

As for the Six Paths Treasured Tools,

Although he had the Three Great Divine Tools,

Mu didn’t mind having more weapons.

He had wanted to steal Madara Uchiha’s fan and scythe before, but he didn’t succeed.

A few days later,

The peace talks between the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Leaf Village officially began.

Tobirama Senju arrived at the Hidden Cloud Village with a few young disciples.

However, during the talks, an unexpected turn of events occurred: Kinkaku and Ginkaku, in their Tailed Beast forms, launched a Tailed Beast Bomb directly at the negotiation building.

The Second Raikage and the Second Hokage directly withstood a Tailed Beast Bomb.

The Second Raikage died on the spot.

Tobirama Senju desperately protected his disciples and was severely wounded.

The First Raikage, left with no choice, dragged his body and launched an attack on Kinkaku and Ginkaku.

At the same time, the main forces of the Hidden Cloud Village and Kinkaku and Ginkaku’s elite troops clashed.

The scene descended into chaos!

Tobirama Senju realized that a coup had broken out in the Hidden Cloud Village. He desperately forced himself to endure and fled the scene with Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others!

In the forest,

Tobirama Senju and his disciples were fleeing in disarray.

“Two per group, Hiruzen and Danzo in one group, Koharu and Homura in another, Kagami and Torifu together. Everyone split up and meet at the Hidden Leaf Village gate!”

Unlike the original story, upon escaping into the forest,

Tobirama Senju resolutely decided to have them split up.

“Yes!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others nodded hurriedly and began to scatter and flee for their lives.

After his disciples left, Tobirama Senju looked back with cold eyes.

He wasn’t sure if Kinkaku and Ginkaku’s forces were pursuing them.

Tobirama Senju slowly squatted down and placed his fingers on the ground.

“…Are they not pursuing?”

“It seems to be an internal affair of the Hidden Cloud Village…”

Tobirama Senju sighed, rubbing his brow in annoyance.

“It seems this peace talk has failed again…”

He didn’t know whether the hawk faction or the dove faction would rise to power after this coup.

If it was the dove faction, it would be fine; at least there could be peace.

If the hawk faction came to power, they would definitely fight to the death with the Hidden Leaf Village.

As Tobirama Senju cautiously moved through the forest,

Kinkaku and Ginkaku’s forces did not pursue him.

However, an unexpected person appeared!

Tobirama Senju arrived in the depths of the forest. When he saw that person standing under the tree, Tobirama’s eyes suddenly narrowed: “It’s you!?”

In the deep shadows of the trees, a dark red half-sleeved vest was faintly visible. The person leaned against the tree trunk, arms crossed, eyes downcast, and scarlet cloud patterns seemed like blood markings in the shadows.

“Long time no see, Tobirama Senju.”

Mu slowly opened his eyes, looking directly at Tobirama Senju.
