Lightning Chakra Mode is the signature ninjutsu of the Raikage school and is a famous top-level ninjutsu in the ninja world.

The Third Raikage activated the Lightning Chakra Mode, which meant that he was angry and he was serious about killing someone.

Faced with the fierce attack of the Raikage, Otsutsuki Hamura did not dodge.

He stretched out his right hand and spread out his five fingers. The jade-white bones at the joints spread out and wrapped around each finger, turning into bone armor of ancient and elegant shape.

Hamura smiled slightly, bent his five fingers into claws, and caught the Third Raikage's right fist head-on.

Bang——!

With a muffled sound, a violent shock wave was generated between the lightning fist and the white jade bone claw.

The shock wave caused huge damage wherever it went.

The reef on which the two figures stood was the first to suffer, shattered into countless pieces.

Then the nearby seawater was pushed away by the shock wave, and the exposed seabed also cracked under the impact, with spider-web-like cracks extending hundreds of meters away.

The broken reefs fell to the bottom of the sea with a loud noise, and even fell into the cracks.

After the shock wave, the nameless reef had completely disappeared and turned into a large sunken pit.

The Third Raikage and the Fifth Mizukage were standing in the pit, their fight was not over yet, with the continuous bursts of chakra, the returning sea water was blocked dozens of meters away and could not get close at all.

The right hand wrapped in white bone armor tightly grasped the right fist surrounded by electric light.

Lightning lashed at the bone armor, but could not leave even the slightest scratch. Sharp bone spurs grew on the bones, creating sparks on the lightning fist, but could not hurt it in the slightest.

Both sides have proven that their defenses are absolutely impeccable, and the competition between them has become a squeeze of strength.

In terms of strength, the Third Raikage has a clear advantage.

His Lightning Release Chakra mode was at full power, and the lightning on his body seemed real, stimulating his body to burst out with powerful strength.

Otsutsuki Hamura's physical strength is limited, and his corpse bone vein cannot enhance his physical strength, which is really a big disadvantage for him.

But he opened the corpse bone vein to the limit, and countless white bones grew out from his back, forming a bone wing-like structure, which penetrated deeply into the rocks on the seabed.

Use the defensive power of bones instead of muscles to support and counter the opponent's overwhelming force.

As the operation of the Corpse Bone Vein reached its limit, Otsutsuki Hamura's emotions were affected by his body, and he became talkative and sharp-tongued.

"Third Raikage, are you addicted to pretending to be a simple-minded idiot?"

"You are so shameless to use all your strength to attack a child like me."

"Oh, oh, oh, you shamelessly launched a sneak attack, but you couldn't do anything to a kid like me. Are you also old like the Third Hokage of Konoha?"

The provocative words of the Fifth Mizukage were very harsh, but the Third Raikage simply turned a deaf ear to them. Not only did he stop increasing his own strength, he first restrained his own strength.

After noticing that the other party had stopped, Otsutsuki Hamura also controlled his emotions, restrained his strength according to the other party's rhythm, and suppressed the corpse bone vein bit by bit.

Soon both sides took a step back and broke away from direct contact.

The Third Raikage exclaimed: "The Hidden Mist Village has truly produced a new genius. This is the first time I've seen someone who can control the Corpse Veins as freely as you can."

"I would like to apologize for my doubts just now, Fifth Mizukage. I shouldn't have looked down on you because of my age. I'm sorry."

"I recognize that you are qualified to work with me."

After Otsutsuki Hamura completely suppressed the Corpse Bone Vein, he regained his calm state of mind.

Hearing the Third Raikage's admission and apology, he smiled and exclaimed: "I heard from Master Yuan that the Third Raikage is the most powerful, the most resolute, and the smartest Raikage."

There is also a saying that "the Third Raikage is the most cunning and vicious", but Otsutsuki Hamura did not say it. Although he is an old antique, he is not a fool.

Hamura raised his hand, looked at his fingers that were still trembling slightly, and exclaimed: "After seeing you today, at least in terms of strength, you are stronger than the rumors say."

"It is the best decision I have ever made that the Hidden Mist Village can unite with the Hidden Cloud Village led by you to fight against the Hidden Leaf Village together."

The Third Raikage laughed heartily when he heard what Hamura said.

Everyone likes to hear good words, without exception.

The reason why the past three generations of Raikage didn't like it was because he felt that good words were also a kind of evaluation, and not everyone was qualified to evaluate themselves.

Otsutsuki Hamura proved himself with his strength, and his words of praise sounded very impressive to the Third Generation of Thunder Seal.

But after he had laughed enough, he actually said calmly: "The Hidden Mist Village, led by you, is indeed qualified to form an alliance with the Hidden Cloud Village."

"But what confidence does the Hidden Mist Village have? What can they accomplish on the battlefield? You need to give me an explanation for this."

Otsutsuki Hamura said, "The Hidden Mist Village has selected the wielders of the Seven Great Swords. After a few months of training, they will have the power to surround and kill a Kage."

"The Hidden Mist Village can gather 6,000 ninjas with all they have. Together with me, it will be enough to launch a campaign that will threaten Konoha Village."

I have to say that the numbers given by Otsutsuki Hamura are really not enough for the five major ninja villages.

6,000 ninjas are enough to launch a battle, but it is far from enough to fight against Konoha Village on the battlefield.

But the Third Raikage nodded in surprise and said, "After two consecutive tragic defeats and unimaginable internal strife, they can still mobilize 6,000 ninjas."

"I really envy the heritage of the Hidden Mist Village."

He was not deliberately complimenting the Hidden Mist Village, but he was really envious.

Although the Land of Thunder is not a forbidden zone like the Land of Wind, it has high mountains and narrow land. When it rains, there will be mountain torrents, and when it doesn't rain, there will be droughts. There are also frequent disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, and mudslides.

For such a large country, the population is very sparse.

Although the Hidden Cloud Village was able to recruit ninjas from throughout the Land of Lightning, it still suffered from a severe lack of reserve forces.

This forced successive Raikages to be cautious. They were keen on participating in and launching wars, but they were extremely cautious in every battle and did their utmost to reduce the casualties of their subordinates.

It’s not that every Raikage is born to cherish his subordinates, but if a ninja dies in battle in the Hidden Cloud Village, it is extremely difficult to replace him, so they really cannot take risks.

For this reason, the Hidden Cloud Village prefers to use high-level ninjas, or even the Raikage himself, to attack with high combat power to reduce casualties.

The Hidden Cloud Village would send out jonin for any trivial matter, and would use jinchūriki when encountering a little difficulty. It was even the Raikage who personally robbed a small village.

Who would have known that this cautious approach would make the outside world think that the Hidden Cloud Village is warlike, impulsive, and crazy, and even form a fixed impression of it.

The Third Raikage was truly envious of the Hidden Mist Village, which was still able to mobilize 6,000 ninjas after losing tens of thousands of ninjas on the battlefield and experiencing fierce internal strife.

After expressing his envy, he thought for a moment and said, "Since Orochimaru became the Fourth Hokage, Konoha's style of doing things has changed drastically, which gives me a very bad impression."

"In my opinion, Konoha Village is becoming more and more like the First Ninja World War. It is proactive and full of danger. We really need to deal it a heavy blow as soon as possible, otherwise it will become more and more troublesome."

"The mobile force that the Hidden Cloud Village can currently mobilize is 14,000 ninjas, but the Hidden Cloud Village needs to spend several months to fight back the attack of the Hidden Rock Village before it can turn around and deal with the Hidden Leaf Village."

Otsutsuki Hamura asked, "Then it will be four months?"

The Third Raikage shook his head and said, "Not enough. The ninjas of the Hidden Rock Village are not strong, but they are numerous and resilient. I will need six months."

"Six months then!"

"good!"

The Third Raikage and the Fifth Mizukage stretched out their right hands, high-fived each other, and determined the war plan against Konoha Village for the next six months.

…

On the same day, Uchiha Yuya met with representatives of the Kongo Ape Tribe at the Cat Castle.

In front of the old woman, Uchiha You was still very polite. He first saluted the ape representative and said, "You took the initiative to withdraw from the fight last time, which saved me a lot of trouble. Thank you very much."

The white-bearded old ape quickly bowed his head and said in return: "Master You, you don't have to be polite. This is my duty as an ally."

Uchiha You asked: "Why do you want to come to me so anxiously?"

The old ape lowered his head and said sincerely: "I come to ask for your help in finding a new contract family for the King Kong Ape Clan."

After seeing Uchiha Yu, the old monkey refused to fight alongside Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of many Anbu ninjas of the Sarutobi family.

His resolute attitude won the recognition of Uchiha Yuu and enabled the Kongou Ape Clan to avoid Yuu's revenge.

But when this matter was reported back to the Sarutobi family, the Sarutobi ninjas naturally had a bad impression of the Kongo Ape Clan.

They felt they had been betrayed and abandoned the contract on a large scale.

That was also the reason why Uchiha You went to the Sarutobi clan and spent so much time before he found an old ninja to contact Kongo Mountain.

Hearing the old monkey's request, Uchiha You suddenly realized and agreed: "I am also responsible for what happened to Kongo Mountain, so I will do my best to help."

The old ape quickly nodded his thanks: "Thank you very much."

Uchiha You asked again: "You're welcome. Do you have any special requirements for the family of the contract target?"

The old ape said seriously: "Please make sure to search in Konoha Village, so that the possibility of conflict between us at Kongoyama and you is minimal."

Uchiha You nodded: "Oh, that makes sense."

This is really necessary, and if he searches in Konoha Village, Uchiha You will be more confident in convincing others.

Then the old monkey put his hands together and sincerely requested: "If possible, please help us find a ninja family that is good at fire escape. It is very important for Mount Kongo!"

Uchiha You: "..., I think you can just say: It's Uchiha!"

The old monkey immediately prostrated himself, worshipping vigorously and thanking loudly, "That's great! Thank you so much!"

Uchiha You and Miwa Masayo were stunned: "..."

The Uchiha already have the Ninja Cats in the Cat Castle and the Ninja Crows they raise themselves. If they add Kongo Mountain to the mix, there will be three types of summoned beasts, which seems a bit too many.

But the old monkey lay there, motionless, obviously determined.

Uchiha You and Miwa Masayo looked at each other, then looked at Grandma Cat and Cat You. Seeing that the three main members of the Cat Castle nodded, he looked at the old ape again.

Uchiha You said, "Since everyone in the Cat Castle agrees, I will naturally not object. Don't worry, I will publicly help you find a suitable contractor in the family when I return."

The old ape King Kong was overjoyed. He reached out and took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Uchiha You with both hands.

"This is the contract scroll of Mount Kongo. I'll leave it to you from now on!"

Uchiha You took it with both hands, gently unfolded the scroll, saw the five names on it, and nodded involuntarily.

This scroll is different from the contract scrolls of the three holy places.

The Holy Land Contract refers to the Holy Land, not a specific toad or giant snake.

The contract at Mount Kongo is the same as that at Cat Castle. There is no overall contract, but rather a one-on-one contract between individual monkeys, ninja cats, and ninjas.

There are dozens of names on the contract scroll of Mount Kongo, but it is stated that there are only five Kongo apes who can participate in the battle.

Not bad, at least much better than the three in the Cat Castle.

After putting away the scroll, Uchiha You looked at the white-bearded old ape again and asked, "I have a question I want to ask."

At this time, the old ape was in a very good mood. He nodded quickly and said, "Please ask!"

Uchiha You asked with some confusion: "Cat Castle has a long-term contract with the Uchiha clan because of business needs. Why does Kongo Mountain want to find a ninja family to sign a contract?"

The old ape's smile faded. He hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, before he spoke: "We are doing this to survive."

"The Kongoyama lineage has not been a ninja beast for long. The advantage of my Kongo Ape clan is that we can transform into weapons, which falls into the category of Steel Release."

"As we all know, Steel Release is the fusion product of the changes in the nature of Earth Release Chakra and Lightning Release Chakra."

The old ape frowned and said, "I don't know why, but the probability of the Kongo Ape Clan being able to use Steel Release is very low. This makes our ape clan's combat effectiveness very low, and it was very difficult for us to survive in the early days of our birth."

"By chance, our ancestors discovered that as long as they mastered the Fire Style Chakra at the same time, they could awaken the Steel Style more easily."

"After that, we consciously looked for powerful fire-style ninjas to sign contracts with. Over time, we established a stable contract with the Sarutobi clan. As a result, they got the surname 'Sarutobi' 150 years ago."

The old monkey said with emotion: "But, the Sarutobi clan has forgotten this history, and their population has increased too fast in the past 20 years, and people's hearts have changed too drastically."

"I was really worried about it, so I gave up decisively last time."

Uchiha You did not take the old monkey's explanation to heart. All his attention was attracted by a piece of information in the old monkey's words.

Uchiha You muttered in deep thought: "The derivatives of Earth Style and Lightning Style are... Steel Style? Steel Style needs the induction of Fire Style to awaken more easily. Could it be..."

"gold?"

After thinking for a long time, Uchiha You still shook his head.

No, it’s definitely not the five elements. It’s totally wrong.

Just like colors.

When the red, yellow and blue of pigments are mixed together, the result is black, but when the red, yellow and blue of light are mixed together, the result is white light.

The ninja world and the world of immortal cultivation are very similar, but precisely because they are so similar, they are fundamentally different.

As a pioneer of the ninja world's immortal path, Uchiha You knew that there was no shortcut for him, so he should just study the rules of the ninja world honestly.

After the contract with Kongo Mountain was negotiated, the old monkey once again asked Uchiha You to help them sign the contract as soon as possible, and then he left quickly.

It was very smart. After seeing the great progress that Sanlun Yasheng had made in his training, it resisted the urge to ask.

Unlike humans and ninja beasts that are completely dependent on humans, independent ninja beast communities must master natural energy in order to survive and seek better development.

Therefore, how to cultivate and master natural energy is the foundation of every ninja beast clan and cannot be asked about casually.

Even though the old monkey figured out that it was Uchiha Yuu who was guiding the Cat Castle towards progress, he held back.

If the relationship between the two parties is not good enough, asking will not only increase the awkwardness, but may also have a counterproductive effect.

Once the contract with the Uchiha clan is established, the relationship between the Kongo Ape clan and the Uchiha ninjas will gradually become closer, and they will definitely be able to receive guidance from Master You.

After the old monkey left, Uchiha You prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Maoyou suddenly said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, meow. There is another ninja beast that has arrived. It is also here to find you, meow."

Uchiha You was stunned: "Huh? Why don't I know?"

Maoyou spread his paws and explained, "Oh, I didn't know about it beforehand. It just arrived and barged into my house. I couldn't do anything about it."

Granny Cat was stunned when she heard this, then suddenly realized, "I know who it is. This guy who is so slow to react and so reckless must be Black Hawk."

Maoyou smiled and said, "Grandma is right, this is it."

Uchiha You shook his head. He knew that Black Hawk was the patriarch of the Chengfeng Cliff Ninja Eagle Clan, and also one of the three major ninja beast clans of the Warm Blood Immortal Alliance that he led to establish.

The status of the Eagle Clan of Chengfeng Cliff is the same as that of the King Kong Ape Clan of King Kong Mountain. Since their clan leader has come in person, Uchiha You still has to meet him.

So he said to Maoyou: "Then please let it in."

Mao You and Granny Cat shook their heads together and said, "No, no! Black Hawk is too big and can't get in. You have to go out and meet him."

At this moment, Uchiha You became really curious.

How big is the black hawk that Maoyou and Cat Grandma think it is too big to enter the cat castle?

You should know that the Cat Castle is not designed specifically for the little Ninja Cat. This secret realm has both long and narrow passages and secret passages for Cat You to enter and exit the hall.

With strong curiosity, Uchiha You walked out alone.

He walked through the long passage and came to an empty seat. As soon as he walked out of the dilapidated building, he saw a huge figure.

The black eagle is indeed a black eagle, and its body is indeed very large.

Its size was larger than Manshe and Chiya in Ryuchi Cave, and also larger than the three Gamabunta brothers. Just standing there, its height reached 23 meters.

When Uchiha You saw Black Hawk, it also saw Uchiha You, and immediately bowed and greeted him, "Hello, Master You."

"I came to you regarding the Warm Blood Immortal Alliance."
