"How come there are Konoha ninjas here?"
"Hey, you two brats!"
"Stop right there!"
The Land of Lightning truly lived up to its reputation for being slow; the situation was already resolved by the time their reinforcements arrived.
"Tch!"
"They don't think much of us, do they?"
"These two Konoha brats must be here to reinforce the Land of Flower."
"But... it's all irrelevant now."
"It seems the crisis in the Land of Flower has been resolved by these two ninjas from Konoha. As for the treasures of the Land of Flower..."
"Hmph! They're just two brats."
Killing them here would mean completing their mission, wouldn't it?
"Ryujiro, this is not good."
Naruto looked at these Cloud ninjas with a very unpleasant expression.
"Naruto, come here."
Ryujiro said calmly.
Naruto cautiously walked over to Ryujiro's side, and Ryujiro handed him a rope.
The next second, Ryujiro's figure suddenly vanished.
The group of Cloud ninjas involuntarily shuddered for some reason, an extreme cold enveloping them.
Before the Cloud ninjas could understand what had happened, one of their comrades suddenly fell to the ground, his upper and lower body severed at the waist.
Blood spurted out in every direction, and many internal organs were scattered all around.
"What was that just now..." Satoru stared blankly at his fallen comrade, his mind completely blank.
Body Flicker Jutsu?
No, that's not it.
That wasn't the Body Flicker Jutsu; this speed surpasses it.
This Konoha shinobi!
"Be on alert!"
The previously aggressive Cloud ninjas fell into disarray due to the death of their comrade, fearfully scanning their surroundings for any sign of Ryujiro.
Damn it!
Where is he!
If they couldn't find this brat, they would go after the blonde boy instead!
He didn't believe the other boy was equally powerful.
"You two, go capture that brat for me!"
"Yes!"
Two Cloud Chunin leapt into the air, and just as their kunai flew out, there was a sudden clinking sound.
Accompanied by sparks, the kunai shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.
Whoosh—!
Ryujiro's figure suddenly appeared before the two, and with a simple slash, the two Cloud Chunin fell without any resistance.
Boom—!
Suddenly, a massive spiritual pressure erupted from Ryujiro's body.
With just a simple swing of his sword, the spiritual pressure transformed into a terrifying shockwave, a blinding white light engulfing everything like a tidal wave.
The overwhelming energy instantly annihilated the surrounding vegetation and land.
"What kind of power is this..." Satoru, with his last conscious thought, stared in despair at the blinding white scene before him.
His body was gradually torn apart, and under this immense energy, he didn't even feel pain.
The ground kept trembling, the shockwave raising a massive cloud of dust and altering the surrounding terrain. The deep fissure resembled a gorge.
Just a group of Cloud ninjas.
What were they jumping around in front of him for?
However, this feeling...
Ryujiro sensed a change in his spiritual pressure and chakra, and at this moment, a trail of blood appeared in his eyes.
As he opened his eyes again, those blood-red Sharingan were eerily sinister.
The Hōgyoku was restless.
——
The Land of Lightning.
Cloud Village!
A burly figure, with terrifying strength granted by his bulging muscles, stood before a cold corpse.
The atmosphere was gradually solidifying, and the surrounding Cloud ninjas couldn't help but shiver under the fourth Raikage's icy killing intent.
What happened to Darui's team...
He was the most trusted subordinate of Raikage. When they found Darui, he was already dead.
Looking at Darui's withered body at his feet, A's eyes were filled with endless rage.
"Who did this!"
"Who dared to attack one of my Cloud Village's Jonin!"
A's furious roar echoed throughout the office!
The suffocating aura he emitted made it hard to breathe.
However, the strangest thing was that the Kunais embedded in Darui's body were all Cloud ninja's weapons.
But all the Cloud ninja corpses were found with Darui.
Could the culprit be trying to fabricate a story of internal strife among the Cloud ninjas?
This trick was too naive.
At this moment, no one dared to provoke the furious Raikage.
Because they knew that the Raikage was like a ticking time bomb, and saying the wrong thing now could cost them their lives.
This time, the entire Land of Lightning might be shaken. Darui was practically the Raikage's right-hand man.
His task was merely to search for the One-Tailed Jinchuriki.
With Darui's strength and his team, even if they couldn't defeat the One-Tail, they shouldn't have died at its hands.
The key issue was these wounds.
Besides Darui's, the wounds on the other ninjas were very sharp.
It was clear that the culprit who killed these Cloud ninjas was a master swordsman, and their strength was terrifying, at least not something an ordinary Jonin could handle.
A swordsman...
There are many swordsmen in the shinobi world, but one with such exquisite swordsmanship is definitely not a commoner.
"Lord Raikage."
"If the culprit is a swordsman, then I might have an idea who it was, Konoha's Hokage assistant is also a swordsmanship genius."
"Moreover, recently we have lost contact with our ninjas at the border of the Land of Fire."
"Could it be..."
A's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Could it be Konoha?
"Mabui, contact the Fifth Hokage of Konoha and tell her I want to visit the Leaf Village."
A gritted his teeth and emphasized the last few words.
