"Father it's bad!"
"Konoha is beginning to gather troops!"
"But it doesn't seem like they're going to attack our Land of Earth!"
As Konoha's army started its march toward the Land of Snow, Iwagakure, which had been on high alert, received the news.
Onoki quickly examined the information handed to him by Kitsuchi and hurried to the map. As he studied Konoha's marching route on the map, he noticed the Land of Snow.
"This isn't good!"
"This time, Konoha is planning to attack Cloud Shinobi Village!"
"Quick! Prepare the army to ready to march!"
Upon realizing that Konoha's target was Cloud Shinobi Village, Onoki immediately issued orders to gather the army. However, Kitsuchi, who was standing by his side, questioned, "Father, since Konoha's target isn't us, do we need to go to Cloud Shinobi's rescue?"
Onoki paused for a moment, considering the current state of the ninja Alliance. It seemed to be more of a verbal agreement, lacking substance. In response to Kitsuchi's inquiry, Onoki spoke with solemnity, "Do you think Cloud Shinobi Village will survive if we don't go to their aid? We and Cloud Shinobi Village are like grasshoppers tied to the same rope. We must stand together to resist Konoha's army. After Konoha defeats Cloud shinobi village, relying solely on our Rock Shinobi will not be enough to block Konoha's attack."
Kitsuchi was stunned by Onoki's explanation. Upon reflection, he remembered their previous failure to break through a large Konoha army. Faced with the full force of Konoha, they would have no chance of resisting.
Realizing the urgency, Kitsuchi wasted no more time and quickly assembled the army, preparing to send troops to rescue Cloud Shinobi Village.
Meanwhile, in the Land of Thunder,
"Hmph! Perfect timing!"
"So, they thought our Cloud Shinobi Village was an easy target!"
"ASSEMBLE THE ARMY TO DEFEND OUR VILLAGE!"
Upon learning that Konoha's target was Cloud Shinobi Village, the Third Raikage confidently waved his hand, displaying no fear. The Cloud Shinobi army swiftly gathered.
Cloud Shinobi Village possessed military strength comparable to Konoha's. However, under the leadership of Ryan, Konoha's power had grown rapidly, widening the gap between the two villages.
Even so, when Cloud Shinobi Village received news of Konoha's approach, they remained unfazed. Their army quickly assembled, ready to fight to the death under the leadership of the Third Raikage.
On the march to the Land of Thunder, Ryan was preoccupied with the chat group members.
These days, Ryan had been intermittently following the conversations in the chat group, where they shared updates on their progress.
In the group chat:
Senju Hashirama: Hahaha, I have conquered all the small Nations! Only the Four major nations remain!
Uchiha Madara: You're a step behind me, Hashirama. I have already gained control of the land of Water!
Senju Hashirama: Damn it! Madara, how did you move so fast?
In the chat group, Hashirama and Madara engaged in their usual banter, making it difficult for others to join the conversation. Ryan quietly observed their interaction.
As the group leader, Ryan occasionally contributed updates about his current progress.
Ryan: Heading to the Land of Thunder!
Senju Tobirama: Are you ready to attack Cloud Shinobi? That's fast!
Tsunade: Oh my god, I haven't even conquered the neighboring small Nations yet!
Tsunade (with glasses): I'm doing fine; I've subdued the small Nations, but I can't afford the Akatsuki organization's price to conquer the four major Nations!
Minato: Wait, how are you all moving so fast? I haven't even started taking action!
Obito: No wonder the group leader is the first; I admire your speed!
Hatake Kakashi: It seems geniuses can't defeat gods. I can't even handle the small Nations nearby. I'm weak!
Ryan skimmed through the replies in the group, briefly scanning the messages. What caught his attention the most were the updates from Uchiha Madara and the First Hokage.
One had conquered small Nations and the Land of Water, while the other had finished with the small Nations and was about to attack the major Nations. Ryan realized he needed to accelerate his progress.
With that in mind, Ryan activated the Amenominaka and headed to Cloud Shinobi Village.
As Ryan left, the army increased its pace, hastening their march.
Above Cloud Shinobi Village, a dark portal suddenly appeared. Ryan emerged from the portal, observing the village below. He was surprised to see that all the Cloud Shinobi ninjas were prepared for battle. The Third Raikage was already unleashing lightning flashes.
"Hmph! Space ninjutsu!"
"No wonder you're so arrogant, Fourth Hokage!"
Looking at Ryan, who suddenly appeared, the Third Raikage couldn't help but stare. Despite his fear of space ninjutsu, as the strongest Raikage of all time, he had the Lightning Style armor and the ability to wield the Hell stab. The Third Raikage felt no fear.
"How dare you come alone!"
"I'll kill you first! Then I will attack Konoha!"
As the Third Raikage's voice fell, lightning flickered all over his body. He rushed towards Ryan in the air.
Zizizizizizizizizizi————
"Lightning Release: Hell Stab!!"
In an instant, the Third Raikage closed the distance, aiming his lightning-charged fingers at Ryan's eyebrows. It seemed like his attack would pierce Ryan's head in the next second.
Facing the charging Third Raikage, Ryan's eyes instantly revealed the Rinnegan and Tenseigan. With both eyes now fully developed, Ryan had complete control over attraction and repulsion. The combined abilities of the two eyes surpassed that of a single ocular technique.
As Ryan glanced at the Third Raikage before him, he unleashed a powerful repulsion. The Third Raikage, who had just rushed in, was propelled like lightning, crashing towards the ground.
Boom!
A loud noise echoed as the Third Raikage struck the ground like a bomb. Countless lightning bolts erupted instantly.
"!!!"
"Third Raikage-Sama!"
The Cloud Shinobi Village below could see what had transpired. The two opponents had yet to clash but it ended with the Third Raikage being blown away.
The future Fourth Raikage, along with Killer B and others, rushed to the large crater created by the Third Raikage. With worried expressions, they peered into the pit.
In the anxious gazes of everyone, the figure of the Third Raikage, bathed in thunderlight, slowly emerged from the pit. Facing the concerned eyes, the Third Raikage shook his head, indicating that he was okay. Everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.
However, Dodai noticed that the hand Third Raikage usually used to launch his attacks was now behind his back. A sense of foreboding surged within Dodai. Just as he was about to speak, he caught a warning look from the Third Raikage.
Dodai understood and kept his mouth shut. However, his worried eyes remained fixed on the Third Raikage.
At this moment, the Third Raikage stared at Ryan in the air with a serious expression. His left hand, which had been behind his back, had been severely damaged by the sudden repulsion. It hung behind him in an unnatural and twisted posture. Even the Third Raikage hadn't anticipated this outcome.
The strongest spear and the strongest armor he was proud of had no power to oppose such a force. Just as the Third Raikage began contemplating countermeasures, 'A' exclaimed, "How infuriating! B, get ready!"
"Let's go!" The Fourth Raikage instantly activated his Lightning Style armor. He called out to Killer B, but at that moment, Killer B froze in place.
But Eight Tails' anxious warning voice echoed in Killer B's mind.
"B!!! Don't fight this guy!"
"His eye!! Exactly as the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths!"
Hearing Eight Tails' words, Killer B hastily grabbed the Fourth Raikage, who was about to charge forward. At the same time, the Third Raikage also stopped their advance.
"Don't get too close!"
"This guy possesses strange abilities!"
As the Third Raikage spoke, the Fourth Raikage reluctantly abandoned his plan to charge forward. They looked down at the motionless Cloud Shinobi Village below.
Ryan slowly extended his hand. Since acquiring his new abilities, he had been eager to explore ninjutsu. The many ninjutsu that had left a deep impression on Ryan were the focus of his research after obtaining the Rinnegan.
And now, with the Rinnegan and Tensigan, he could effectively manipulate Yin Release chakra. It was the perfect time to test this new ninjutsu.
With his palm open, Yin Release chakra began to gather, forming a pitch-black Rasengan in Ryan's hands. As chakra continued to be infused, the Rasengan's color deepened, resembling ink, with a halo around it.
Gazing at the Rasengan in his hand, Ryan shifted his eyes to the Third Raikage and the others below.
