Stopped and thought for a moment, maybe this might be due to the air. If an air shockwave was bsted out, then the air in the position in front of the fist was undoubtedly already drained.

  Only after waiting for the air to replenish should he continue throwing punches.

  Thinking about it, this might really be the case.

  So, in the next training session, every time he threw a punch, he had to wait 10 seconds before throwing another punch again.

  Sure enough, the success rate increased, and after enduring so many strikes, the big tree colpsed with a loud crash, with dust filling the air.

  Ryosuke was overjoyed, as he had discovered the secret within this.

  It really was because the air needed to be replenished, but there were still a few punches that did not form an air shockwave, and their power was still weak.

  It seemed he still needed to keep training; in other words, it was a matter of proficiency.

  At this moment, two Uchiha cn members guarding the Uchiha cn grounds, upon hearing the commotion, rushed over. Outsiders were not allowed to approach the cn grounds.

  But when the two of them saw Uchiha Ryosuke emitting a powerful aura all over his body and bsting shockwaves toward a big tree using pure physical strength—

  Their faces were filled with countless expressions of astonishment.

  Looking at the tree that had fallen to the side and was unable to get up, it should have been caused by Ryosuke.

  It was not an intruder.

  One of the young Uchiha cn members asked, "Senior, do you know what the powerful aura coming from Ryosuke is?"

  That powerful aura made him feel as if Ryosuke was a ferocious beast.

  It was simply too overwhelming.

  The older Uchiha cn member said, "You're still young, so you might not know—this is the forbidden technique, the Eight Gates Released Formation. Judging by Ryosuke's appearance, he should have already trained to the st few gates; otherwise, he wouldn't have such power."

  It seemed that Ryosuke not only had talent in the Sharingan but also had an even more terrifying achievement in taijutsu.

  In his current state, he probably already possessed Kage-level combat power.

  The young Uchiha cn member's eyes shone brightly.

  Watching Ryosuke unleash shockwaves, even destroying the big tree to the point where it was beyond recognition,

  He couldn't help but say, "A forbidden technique—this is a great thing. It must be able to greatly enhance my strength."

  The older Uchiha cn member rolled his eyes at him.

  "Don't even think about it. There are barely a few people in Konoha who can use this technique."

  The young Uchiha cn member couldn't help but ask, "Why is that? Could it be that the cn doesn't allow us ordinary cn members to train in it?"

  The older Uchiha cn member shook his head and said, "Of course not. It's simply because this forbidden technique is too difficult. Some people have spent decades training it yet achieved nothing. Not to mention, the training process is both painful and exhausting."

  "Would you rather train in the Sharingan or learn such a forbidden technique?"

  The young Uchiha cn member thought about it and gave up.

  He had already awakened his two-tomoe Sharingan. Just these eyes alone gave him considerable combat power, so why bother training in such a painful and exhausting forbidden technique?

  Moreover, there was no guarantee of success. If he dedicated all his time and effort to it and still failed, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

  Besides, he didn't want to suffer.

  The older Uchiha cn member said, "Since Ryosuke is training here, let's not disturb him. Let's go."

  Then, the two of them left, continuing their duty of guarding the cn grounds.

  Uchiha Ryosuke had already noticed the two of them. Since they did not disturb him and instead tactfully left, he didn't pay them any attention either.

  He continued bsting shockwaves toward another tree.

  For the next hour or so, Ryosuke kept activating the Eight Gates Released Formation and throwing heavy punches.

  Suddenly, he felt something strange in his body.

  If he kept activating it, he might really fall into a weakened state, which would be extremely dangerous.

  It seemed that he had gotten too caught up in training and had forgotten about the time.

  He immediately closed the Fifth Gate and began recovering his strength.

  Ryosuke was very satisfied with his progress today.

  He had already grasped the basics of the air shockwave technique, and now he just needed to improve its power.

  At the very least, if he could destroy a big tree with a single punch, then the technique would truly be complete.

  ———

  A few days ter, in the Hidden Cloud Vilge office—

  The Fourth Raikage took the letter handed to him by his secretary, Mabui, and asked in confusion,

  "You said this letter is addressed to me. Have you already read its contents?"

  Mabui nodded.

  Earlier, on her way back to the office, a man in bck suddenly tied this letter to a kunai and shot it toward her.

  At first, she thought it was an attack, but upon seeing the letter, she understood.

  She then came to the Raikage's office and handed the letter to the Fourth Raikage.

  Upon hearing this, the Fourth Raikage opened the letter.

  A smile appeared on his face.

  The letter mentioned that if a war were to break out between Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Vilge, Konoha would only send two cns—the Uchiha and Hyuga cns.

  Additionally, the letter expressed hope that the Hidden Cloud Vilge would eliminate an Uchiha cn member named Uchiha Ryosuke.

  The condition was that in the subsequent peace negotiations, Konoha would offer some concessions to the Hidden Cloud Vilge, such as 100 million ryo in gold.

  The Fourth Raikage naturally knew who this person was.

  It was this person who had ruined the Hidden Cloud Vilge's pn.

  He then tossed the letter onto the table, looked at Mabui, and asked, "What do you think about this? Could it be that Konoha really is only sending these two cns? Could this be a trap to lure us in?"

  "Are they trying to bait us and then send a rge force to wipe us out?"

  Mabui slowly said, "I'm afraid that's unlikely. How could our Hidden Cloud Vilge be so foolish as to walk into their trap?

  "Could it be that Konoha's higher-ups want us to help them eliminate the Uchiha cn? After all, it's widely acknowledged in the ninja world that Konoha's higher-ups and the Uchiha cn do not get along. And the person they specifically want eliminated is probably a thorn in their side."

  "Judging by the situation, Konoha's higher-ups don't actually want to go to war. Instead, they want peace talks."

  Hearing Mabui's analysis, the Fourth Raikage smiled and praised her.

  "As expected of my secretary, you've analyzed their intentions very clearly."

  "Konoha's higher-ups are truly ughable. In such a critical moment between nations, they are still engaging in internal strife, even trying to eliminate two of the vilge's most powerful cns and handing over their intelligence to us."

  This left the Fourth Raikage speechless. He felt like they weren't even on the same level as opponents.

  But now, he had an even bolder idea.

  Since he already knew the enemy's strength, he couldn't help but ask Mabui, "Mabui, do you think our Hidden Cloud Vilge has the chance to devour these two cns entirely?"

  Mabui was shocked.

  "Fourth Raikage, isn't this too bold? Even though only two cns are participating in the battle, since they chose to do this, they must have made preparations. They will likely send elite forces."

  "Given these two cns' strength, if we try to wipe them out, we will likely face fierce resistance. The result might be harming the enemy by a thousand while losing eight hundred of our own."

  She was not being pessimistic but making a rational analysis.

  These two cns were Konoha's most renowned families.

  Of course, this is excluding the Senju cn, because the Senju cn has already disappeared from history.

  To deal with such powerful two great ninja cns, the Hidden Cloud Vilge must concentrate a rge force in order to possibly devour the opponent.

  A fierce tiger will definitely have the power to retaliate, and their Hidden Cloud Vilge now is probably unable to bear such losses.

  The Fourth Raikage naturally knew that Mabui's words were very reasonable and sighed.

  If they could eliminate these two cns, Konoha's strength would be reduced by at least half.

  That way, even if Konoha could still maintain its position among the Five Great Ninja Vilges in the future, it would definitely be at the bottom among the Five Great Ninja Vilges.
