"What in the blazes is this?"

The Raikage's voice thundered throughout his office, potent enough to make the very windows tremble. He glared intently at the parchment clutched within his immense hands, his knuckles whitening from the sheer force of his grip.

"It is a message from Konoha, Raikage-sama," Mabui stated with composure from her customary spot near his desk, her hands clasped behind her back, her expression unreadable. "It was conveyed by a messenger hawk and arrived not long ago."

"I am well aware of that, obviously!" The Raikage retorted, the edge of the paper crumbling under his fist. He brandished it towards her with an enraged snarl, a prominent vein throbbing on his temple, pulsing with evident fury. "What I am questioning is the nature of these demands! How dare that brat issue ultimatums to me! To Kumo!"

It was merely last night that he, along with his most trusted retainers and advisors, had reviewed the visual recordings of the Chunin Exams. From the events of the exams themselves to the broadcast showcasing the new Hokage vanquishing Orochimaru and his formidable associates, he had been utterly incensed. This supposed prodigy hadn't only insulted Kumo during his bout with the Hyuga youth, but Orochimaru had also resurrected the Bijuu, Blue B, utilizing him as a puppet while pilfering fragments of their own Tailed Beast to augment his power!

The sheer audacity of those Leaf village rascals!

Who even was this Daiki Yurei fellow!? He had never encountered the name before! His status as a mere genin was clearly a stratagem by Konoha to demonstrate their prowess during the exams. However, typically, such an unbelievably potent prodigy would be widely recognized, much like Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Shisui, and Uchiha Itachi. But no, Konoha must have deliberately concealed his capabilities until this opportune moment, nurturing this hidden gem in the shadows to utterly surprise everyone.

They had even absconded with the Sanbi, offering no word of its reformation or recovery! Acting in direct contravention of established accords! Had Orochimaru not attempted an assault on his former village, who could possibly surmise how long the true extent of this brat's power would have remained concealed.

Yet, here he was, the Hokage. At the tender age of thirteen. The youngest individual ever to hold the position of Kage in one of the five great nations.

The Raikage released the paper and clenched the desk so fiercely that the reinforced wood splintered beneath his grasp. The Leaf had meticulously guarded their secret, and this brat... recalling the footage he had witnessed of the confrontation with Orochimaru, much as it pained him to concede, he doubted his ability to defeat him.

'It would necessitate a collaborative effort between Bee and myself,' he mused, and even then, success was not assured.

He was undoubtedly stronger than that pallid snake-like fiend, Orochimaru. And Killer Bee surpassed Blue B. However, when considering the crystal-manipulating woman, the Kaguya clan member, and that other sallow-skinned oddity possessing all those Sharingan, the situation became more complex.

Could the two of them overcome that formidable group?

He refused to entertain the notion that they could not! They represented the invincible duo! The legendary A-B Combination!

Not even the fabled Yellow Flash had managed to defeat both of them simultaneously during their past encounters!

But…

'That Hokage brat never progressed beyond the initial stage of the Bijuu cloak.' The Raikage ground his teeth. He had claimed to be a perfect Jinchuuriki, akin to Bee. If that were the case, he had failed to unleash his full potential during that engagement!

And he possessed the Sharingan as well!

Furthermore, he could apparently not only conceal his chakra even while wielding the Bijuu's might but also render his techniques and presence entirely undetectable.

If he were a true perfect Jinchuuriki, he could launch a Bijuudama from a considerable distance, targeting any village without their knowledge until the attack was imminent. Leaving them with absolutely no opportunity to mount a defense.

"What did the message state?" Mabui inquired, her placid demeanor momentarily faltering, her delicate silver eyebrows arching slightly.

The Raikage clenched his teeth so forcefully that it was a miracle they did not fracture and shatter. His chakra began to crackle around him, the distinct blue sparks of his Lightning Release Armor flickering to life involuntarily as his rage escalated. His voice emerged as a menacing, dangerous growl, "The boy accused me of being a pedophilic child molester. He called me a useless ape!" he spat, his grip on the desk tightening further, more wood splintering under his fingers as the furniture groaned under the immense pressure. "And then, he had the sheer audacity to issue demands! The return of Hyuga Hizashi's remains, fifty million Ryo in reparations, and a portion of the Nibi's chakra!"

His grip on the desk loosened, only for his fist toSubsequently slam down upon it. The reinforced wood, designed to withstand his fury, splintered as if it were mere paper mache. Documents scattered widely around him, accompanied by the groaning destruction of the desk, its demise echoing throughout his office. "And if we refuse," he continued, his voice escalating into a booming roar that could easily overshadow thunder, "he's declaring war on the Cloud Village! He threatened not only to annihilate us but to enslave all our women and rip the Bijuu from my brother!" He was practically bellowing now, lightning crackling with even greater intensity around his form. "He declared he'd mount my head above his toilet bowl so he could urinate on it every single night!"

The sheer preposterousness of it all, the unmitigated audacity of this thirteen-year-old brat! It left him standing amidst the wreckage of his desk, chest heaving as he panted and growled, rage continuously escalating.

How dare he!?

How utterly dare he!!

That conceited Leaf-hugging scoundrel! He would have his head for this! Did he truly believe his feeble village, which capitulated to them in fear a decade ago and allowed them to dictate terms, could defeat his Cloud village?!

He was the sole threat! Once he was eliminated, that weak, peace-loving village would bow their heads and concede defeat.

They were nothing without the demise of the Fourth Hokage!

Not even he could defeat him in the end! And this brat presumed he could!? He envisioned seizing that brat and driving his head into the ground with his Liger Bomb.

Just then, the note that had been sent flying floated down through the air, landing on the ground before him, amidst the splinters of his demolished desk. The words inscribed upon it stared back up at him, their casual arrogance utterly derisive.

What's up inferior Cloud scum? I am Daiki Yurei the Godaime Hokage. I will be blunt you pedo ass, tiny limp dick child raping useless waste of space monkey brained piece of shit. I demand the return of Hyuuga Hizashi's body alongside a full apology from you begging the Hyuuga clan for their forgiveness for your transgressions. On top of that, I want fifty million ryo as reparations and a portion of the Nibi's chakra. Why? Fuck you Pedokage Cloud Monkey. You'll do it because I demand it. If you don't, I'm coming to your village with the full might of my village behind me and we'll burn your village to the ground, take everything of value, and enslave your women. And I will personally rip the Hachibi from your brother's corpse after I kill him, then I'll mount your decapitated head above my toilet bowl so I can have a good laugh as I piss on your skull every night. You've got a month. If not, I will waltz into your village, with nobody able to stop me and I'll transform into the Sanbi and fire a Bijuudama straight down. Don't test me Cloud Monkey scum, and be happy I'm giving such generous terms and being so polite about it.

- Daiki Yurei

An enraged howl erupted from him, primal and absolutely seething with rage as he whirled around and punched the wall behind where his desk had been. The impact echoed with a thunderous boom, the entire section of the wall exploding outward in a shower of stone and debris, leaving a gaping hole over thirty feet wide that opened his office to the mountainous region of Kumo. Wind howled through the gap, scattering the papers behind him.

His anger undiminished in the slightest, A whirled back around to Mabui, who had taken an involuntary step back, a resigned sigh escaping her lips, "We just fixed that three days ago."

"Get the word out!" he roared. "I want this brat in the Bingo Book immediately! One billion ryo for anyone who takes his head! Declare him an SS-rank shinobi!"

"Y-yes, Raikage-sama," Mabui responded swiftly, bowing her head before turning and moving toward the door. She had witnessed A's anger before, but this might have been on an entirely different level; usually, he calmed down after reducing his desk or a wall to dust, but not this time. "I'll see to it right away."

A clenched his fists so tightly his nails, flickering with lightning, pierced his palms and drew blood. The red ichor sizzled and vanished as his lightning instantly burned it away, but even that minor pain offered no clarity. "And prepare the two-way video broadcaster!" he added, his voice and entire body trembling with fury. "Contact Konoha! I want to confront this brat face to face!"

Threaten him, would he!?

He would see if he possessed the nerve to utter such words to his face!
