Chapter 127 - 127 (2/2)
He summoned all the Jonins in the village, and announced the death of the 3rd Raikage publically. Needless to say, they were all in disbelief.
After all, it was the 3rd Raikage, the peak of the Shinobi world at the time.
”We should take back the 3rd Raikage's body! And the Rock must pay!” One of the Jonins spoke.
His words were like a pebble thrown into a lake, and everyone approved them. They all agreed that the 3rd Raikage's body must not fall into the hands of the Hidden Rock, and that they should get their vengeance.
”A san, let's take revenge for Lord Raikage!”
”Yes, Revenge, he could not die in vain!”
”Revenge!”
Everyone was too excited, and in the end, they subconsciously said it in one voice! ”Revenge!”
”Aniki, let's take back father's body, and teach them a lesson!” Said Killer B.
A was thinking at the moment of his father's death. What would he want? Revenge? Would that be above anything?
The death of his father put an immense responsibility upon his shoulders, and he m_a_t_u_r_ed a lot just by that.
Yes, he wanted to rush to the Rock camp to take revenge, but he had to be cautious. His decision wasn't a light one, it was to determine the fates of 20000 Ninjas from his village.
Thinking it over, A finally spoke: ”Everyone calm down! I also want to avenge my father. But if we fight the Rock, do you think Konoha would be on their side again? My father was really strong. Without him, we can't win against both camps.”
”We fear not death! Revenge for the Raikage comes above all!”
”Revenge!”
”Revenge!”
”I know that my village's Shinobi are all brave and fearless, and that they don't fear death. I don't fear it myself, for I'll have to face it anyway. But not now! For now, I have to negotiate with Konoha. As your Kage, I have the responsibility to protect you!”
A's words made everyone quiet, and then one of them screamed: ”Long live, the 4th Raikage!”
That young Jonin was looking up as A was speaking, and he saw the 3rd's figure residing in his son! The older Jonin had their eyes red and tearful, as young A was man fit enough to sit in his father's seat, and stand on his own in such circ_u_mstances.
”Long live, the 4th Raikage!”
”Long live, 4th Raikage Sama!”
The next day, Minato received the News, and it was directly from a Cloud messenger.
This Ninja came to invite Minato to negotiate with the 4th Raikage. Minato felt weird at the time about A becoming the 4th Raikage.
He went to the appointment on time and took Ryo along with him. The purpose of their trip was the same as before: Making Konoha and the Cloud sign a peace treaty.
The meeting was set to take place in the forest. Before reaching the spot, Ryo used Sage Mode's enhanced perception to ensure the absence of any ambush.
As Ryo and Minato reached the spot, the 4th Raikage and Killer B were already waiting there.
