Chapter 808: Couldn't Think of a Title

"Welcome, everyone."

Lian Ye rarely sits in the main seat, instead of lying on the balcony.

He looks at the few familiar faces before him.

He can't help but feel moved.

Back then he slaughtered all the familiar people; now he knows only a few.

Fortunately, he recognized the two leading dark‑skinned men.

The Aibi Group from Kirigakure Village.

Time flies; in the blink of an eye this kid has become a Raikage.

During the first Ninja World War, Lian Ye killed the future Third Raikage.

He thought the Fourth Raikage would never appear again.

Who could have imagined that the future Fourth Raikage had already been born at that time.

Raikage Ai wears a white Raikage robe, and in his eyes there is no customary courtesy of the era, only an uncontainable hatred.

It is this guy in front of him who killed his father!

Leaving him an orphan just days after his birth.

Since the Ai Chronicle began, he has been training nonstop, hoping to one day avenge his father.

Now finally the chance has arrived!

Qila Bi follows behind, with seven knives strapped to his waist.

Delegations from the other ninja villages trail closely behind: Sunagakure, Kirigakure, Iwagakure.

Everyone's expression is much the same.

Expressionless, with hostile eyes, as if forced to attend the rival's inauguration ceremony.

In fact, it truly is so.

Lian Ye's performance on the Battlefield has, one could say, already offended every village.

They all would love to kill him.

But their strength doesn't allow it.

Lian Ye scans everyone and flashes a friendly smile.

"You're here, please have a seat."

There are only three chairs in the office, belonging to the Hokage and the Hokage Assistant.

In other words, there really are no chairs, and he has no intention of adding any.

Just a formality.

These guys can't be serious, can they?

Raikage Ai steps forward, looking down at Lian Ye from above.

It is this very person who has made Kirigakure Village's development over the years arduous.

In fact, Kirigakure Village's development speed is not slow at all.

Post‑war reconstruction, talent cultivation, and economic recovery are all progressing steadily.

But compared with Konoha, it cannot compare.

And the real reason is inseparable from Konoha's Poison Master!

"Lord Raikage?" Lian Ye's voice pulls him back to reality, "You stand so close—are you dazzled by my looks?"

The visitor is a guest.

He, as Hokage, has no reason to make a move.

Unless the opponent cannot help but strike first, a reasonable self‑defense is permissible.

Otherwise, that old kid Qianshou Feijian would definitely call out.

Raikage Ai clenches his fist, and Lightning Release chakra erupts on his body in a scattering of faint light.

"Lord Raikage wants to strike me?"

Lian Ye's voice suddenly turns cold.

His patience has limits.

This guy entered already bearing murderous intent toward him.

If the opponent truly dares to strike, he wouldn't mind letting Kirigakure Village get a new Raikage.

Anyway, he's killed enough Raikages.

Missing only this one.

"Big brother."

Qila Bi whispers a call from behind.

Although they came here for revenge, attacking Lian Ye in the office would be unwise.

After all, this is someone else's territory.

Raikage Ai calms down upon hearing this.

"Did you bring your congratulatory gifts?"

Seeing the situation, Lian Ye knows a fight can't start, so he looks toward the delegation of ninja.

"Brought them."

Although everyone is reluctant, forced by the oppressive authority they can only swallow their grievances.

There's no way.

Who made Konoha the strongest village in the Ninja World?

Other Villages have no comparison with its Root.

In the past, Konoha was also stronger than other Villages, but it was not beyond reach.

But now is different from before.

At this time, Konoha Village is so powerful that they cannot even entertain thoughts of rebellion.

Such a gap cannot be bridged by tactics, schemes, or sheer desperation.

It's like no matter how many ants there are, they cannot bite an elephant to death—unless the elephant falls on its own.

"Not bad, not bad."

Lian Ye looked at the pile of gift lists and silver notes before him, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

Konoha Village is so powerful, yet it does not attack others.

Just this alone is enough for other Villages to willingly pay.

Consider it as collecting a bit of protection money.

The squads did not stay long.

They paid, signed, and exchanged a few pleasantries.

To be precise, after a few pleasantries, they hurriedly took their leave.

No one wants to linger another second in the Hokage Office.

Lian Ye watched the departing back of Raikage Ai, and his mind was very clear.

A brute is a brute; his thoughts are written all over his face.

"Lian Ye, is what you're doing really okay?"

Yuanfei Rizhan worried that his actions would offend all Villages.

If war broke out again then, it would be bad.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang gave him a displeased glance.

Ri Zhan is truly too weak.

He doesn't think Lian Ye's approach has any problem.

The weak must submit to the strong; this is the iron law of the Ninja World.

Konoha Village has worked hard to become this strong, so naturally it doesn't need to watch others' expressions.

Clearly, it's the other Villages that should be feared!

"You all continue handling the documents," Lian Ye said, not replying to Ri Zhan, stood up, stretched lazily, and walked back to the balcony.

The sunlight is just right.

Warm and mellow, it makes one's bones feel soft.

As for Raikage Ai?

He never kept it in mind at all.

That guy doesn't dare act within the Village; later there will be no chance to encounter him.

At the entrance of Konoha Village.

"So, are we just giving up like this!"

Raikage Ai missed the chance to spar with Lian Ye for no reason, his face showing resentment.

Damn!

Having not acted in the office earlier, now there's probably no chance.

Unless he sneaks into the Village to assassinate Lian Ye.

But the success rate is clearly low; Konoha Village's security is not to be taken lightly.

"Big brother, let's wait a bit longer."

Qi La Bi spoke up to persuade Big brother, fearing he might act rashly.

The moment he saw Lian Ye, Eight-tailed frantically warned him that the opponent was very dangerous.

Otherwise he would have already teamed up with Big brother to fight Lian Ye.

"Fine."

Things have come to this; it can only be so.

As long as the Village develops, it can be on par with Konoha Village.

Then it can unite other Villages to launch a war against Konoha.

At that point, revenge can be taken.

Ideals are abundant, reality is stark.

Raikage Ai spent his whole life striving to govern the Village, yet never surpassed Konoha.

On the contrary, the gap between them grew larger.

Until the final moments of his life, he still strived to make the Village stronger.

"Why..."

The aged Raikage Ai tried many methods, but ultimately could not make Cloud Hidden Village surpass Konoha.

The most infuriating part is, he's about to die.

His father's murderer lives just fine.

Is that guy a turtle?

Really unwilling...

ps: I've been working overtime these past two days and haven't had time to write the new book; this book will be completely finished tomorrow, and then I can regularly update the new book.

This book leans toward daily life; the next book will mix combat and daily life.
