A large number of Cloud Ninjas moved in silently. Under the cover of darkness, they approached the Konoha camp like ghosts.
The ninja keeping watch outside Konoha camp had already been taken out one by one by the Cloud Ninja Anbu, without giving them any chance to alert others.
Raikage Ai stood on a hill, arms crossed over his chest, looking down at the brightly lit Konoha camp below. There was a hint of mockery in his eyes as he said, "Kid, let me teach you one last lesson. On the battlefield, the last thing you should trust is the enemy's promise."
With that, he slowly raised his hand and swung it down like a sharp blade.
"Attack!"
In the next moment, the silent Cloud Ninjas revealed their deadly intent.
Taking advantage of their high ground, the Cloud Ninjas began forming hand seals and launched a surprise attack on the unsuspecting Konoha camp below.
"Lightning Release: Thunder Tide!"
"Earth Release: Earth and Rock Collapse!"
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!"
"Fire Style: Flowing Fire!"
In an instant, countless ninjutsu pierced through the darkness, raining down on Konoha's camp like meteors.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The huge explosions sent shockwaves through the air, waking up the sleeping ninja.
Many ninjas were caught off guard and even died in their sleep.
In a flash, chaos erupted in the camp!
"Enemy attack!!!"
"It's the Cloud Ninjas--!!!"
"Damn it, why was there no warning? What happened to the guards outside?"
"How did they find us?!"
The urgent cries broke the silence of the night.
Only now did Uchiha Obito realize that Raikage didn't spare him because of a promise, nor because of pride or any other trivial reason.
Instead, he deliberately kept him alive to lead the Cloud Ninjas to the location of Konoha's main camp!
"Get out of here!"
Uchiha Fugaku, furious, kicked Obito to the ground and ran out of the tent.
What he saw next nearly took his breath away with shock and sorrow.
The camp was ablaze, the sky filled with flames. The Cloud Ninjas had used a round of area-of-effect ninjutsu to bombard the camp, and then a small group of elite ninjas charged in. In the chaos, they carried out a one-sided massacre!
"Ah--!"
"Help!"
"Damn it, how did the Cloud Ninjas find us?"
"Don't panic, form groups of three and hold them off. Ah!"
Wherever the Cloud Ninjas went, there were countless Konoha ninja corpses left behind.
The Cloud Ninjas who had broken into the camp seemed to have a clear goal, targeting the medical ninjas and logistics.
Uchiha Fugaku watched in horror, his eyes bloodshot with rage.
These were his clan members, and now they were being slaughtered mercilessly by the Cloud Ninjas. It was heart-wrenching.
Suppressing the anger rising in his throat, Uchiha Fugaku shouted orders: "Don't panic! Jonin, form a defensive line. Anbu, deal with the enemy's long-range forces!"
At the same time, he joined the battle, rushing towards the Cloud Ninjas' spearhead alone.
Fugaku knew they couldn't let the Cloud Ninjas destroy the medical and logistics teams; otherwise, they'd lose all hope before the battle even truly began.
"I am Konoha's jonin and head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku!"
To draw their attention, Fugaku didn't hesitate to make himself the target, even if it meant risking his own safety.
Sure enough, when the Cloud Ninjas heard that he was the Uchiha clan leader, they shifted their focus from their original target and charged directly at him.
On the battlefield, taking down the enemy commander was clearly more important than attacking the medical or logistics teams.
As long as they can kill Uchiha Fugaku, they can deal a major blow to the Konoha army!
Seven figures, radiating fierce and terrifying killing intent, approached rapidly, their swords gleaming ominously in the firelight.
Fighting seven opponents at once seems almost impossible to win!
Even Uchiha Fugaku was sweating heavily. These weren't just any enemies; they were the elite forces of the Cloud Ninja! Despite knowing he had little chance of winning, he had to fight to hold them off!
If we let them keep attacking, the Uchiha clan will be destroyed, and we'll either be wiped out or die here!
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Fugaku didn't hold back and unleashed a massive fire attack.
In an instant, the blazing inferno surged like an enraged beast, consuming everything in its path and charging toward the Cloud Ninjas like a tidal wave.
"Earth Style: Earth Wall!"
A towering earth wall suddenly rose, blocking the fire's advance.
The Cloud Ninjas launched a surprise attack from both sides. One figure, crackling with lightning, dashed straight toward them, undeterred by the flames.
Although Fugaku had expected this wouldn't be easy, he frowned and, as he quickly retreated, threw a dozen shurikens. "Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu!"
Flames burst from the spinning shuriken, spreading out like blooming flowers and hitting the Cloud Ninjas.
While the other Cloud Ninjas were forced to pull back, a figure wrapped in red chakra with three tails behind him charged through the fire at breakneck speed.
"Jinchūriki?!" Fugaku recognized it immediately. The Tailed Beast Cloak shocked him.
The Cloud Ninja even sent their Tailed Beast Jinchūriki to the front line, which meant this sneak attack was more than just an attempt to defeat the front-line troops!
"Thunder Blade!!!"
Killer Bee charged forward like a wild beast, his steps heavy and his demeanor fierce.
With his three-tomoe Sharingan, Fugaku saw how dangerous Killer Bee's attack was and knew he couldn't face it directly. He quickly formed hand signs and shouted, "Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
The Fire Dragon Flame Bullet is a powerful fire jutsu. Normally, it attacks from three directions, strong enough to burn through rocks and even steel.
But Fugaku controlled the flames, making them shoot in a straight line.
A roaring fire dragon surged forward, cutting through the darkness at high speed.
Boom—!!!
Killer Bee, unable to dodge, collided with the concentrated fire dragons.
The fire dragons were extremely destructive. Their intense heat turned the surrounding rocks to sand, and the flames whipped up fierce winds, destroying everything in their path.
Fugaku's heart raced with worry. He knew that the Jinchūriki wouldn't be defeated so easily.
As expected, the next moment, the powerful wind pressure blew out the flames.
Amidst the charred rocks stood a beast, not quite human. It was covered in a red and black chakra cloak, with eight red tails whipping the air and letting out a deafening roar.
"Damn, it's transformed into a half-tailed beast!"
Fugaku's heart sank when he saw this.
Even worse, before Fugaku could react, Killer Bee, now in his half-tailed beast form, raised his head, opened his mouth, and gathered a massive amount of chakra.
"This is bad!"
Fugaku felt a shiver. He knew exactly what was coming. The dense Yin-Yang Chakra formed a dark sphere, its crushing pressure causing the ground around Killer Bee to crack and shift.
"It's the Tailed Beast Ball! Get out of the way—!!!"
Fugaku gave a heart-wrenching warning.
But, sadly, his voice was quickly drowned out by the chaos in the Konoha camp.
Killer Bee swallowed a dense amount of chakra and then released it forward.
In an instant, a blinding light pierced through the darkness.
It felt like it was suddenly daytime, but soon the Konoha ninjas sensed the imminent threat of death.
Boom——!!!
A powerful chakra cannon shot out with overwhelming force.
The intense energy heated the air to a dangerous level. Purple-red shockwaves spread out, destroying everything within a hundred meters.
The enormous energy shook the air, causing the ground and nearby valley to tremble. It sounded like millions of bees buzzing, mixed with an earthquake.
Most of the Konoha camp was obliterated, and deep grooves were carved into the rock as the blinding light passed.
Strong winds roared, creating mushroom clouds tens of meters high.
Nearby, the Raikage watched from a mountaintop with a satisfied expression, arms crossed: "Not enough, not enough. I want you, Konoha, to feel my pain too!"
