# Chapter 816: Bouncing and Jumping!
Near a certain Sky Bridge within Lou Lan City.
The clang of Metal Collision constantly rang out, faded, and then rang out again.
Brilliant Fire Sparkled repeatedly, Accompanied By the crisscrossing Black Shadow, and occasionally, angry questions would ring out.
"Just who are you people!"
"You don't look like Sunagakure Ninja. How dare you provoke our Cloud Hidden Village? Are you looking for death?!"
However, regarding their shouts, the six people on the other side had no intention of responding at all, completely adopting the Posture of taking them down first before talking.
The Cloud Hidden Squad was still the standard configuration of one Chunin leading three Genin.
This Chunin was a Sensor Ninja, and his Mission was to Detection whether there were hidden Ninja within Lou Lan City.
It was precisely because of this that he detected the Aura of Takumi and the others.
The Combat scene was quite spectacular, especially with the four Genin from the Sea Ninja Village side. Every time they swung the Kunai in their hands, Footage Special Effects of Wind, Flame, Thunder, and Water would appear out of thin air.
This caused the Cloud Hidden Village side to suffer greatly.
Especially at the beginning, when they couldn't distinguish that they were just illusions. To avoid wasting Chakra, they either used Ninjutsu to resist them or were injured by the Blade hidden within when hastily dodging.
After understanding that they were illusions, the Situation didn't improve much.
Because they basically couldn't see the Position of the opponent's Kunai, let alone that these illusions were actually quite dangerous.
Although there was no High Temperature from Flame, no Impact from Water Flow, etc., those Cold Light could genuinely kill.
This seemed to be a Swordsmanship combined with Genjutsu?
"Retreat!"
The Cloud Hidden Chunin leading the Squad saw that the opponent had only sent out five people, with a short blonde Women watching from the side. He knew that continuing the Combat would be bad.
"Lightning Release: Net Spider!"
Taking advantage of the few seconds his two Genin desperately bought him, he quickly performed Hand Seal, then bent down and heavily slapped the flat Ground of the Sky Bridge.
The next moment.
A mass of blue Electro shot out from under his palms, instantly forming a huge Electric Flash Spider Net on the Ground within a fifty-meter radius.
Two Genin from Sea Ninja Village accidentally came into contact with one of the 'electric wires'.
Immediately, their entire Body was wrapped in crackling Electric Flash, and they fell to the Ground in a series of intense convulsions, while the other three timely jumped into Mid-air to dodge.
[Roar! Roar!]
Just then, the two Genin on the Cloud Hidden side quickly threw Smoke Bomb onto the Ground.
In an instant, rolling purple Thick Smoke gushed out in the Explosion. But just as the Cloud Hidden Ninja were preparing to use the cover of the Smoke to escape outside the city using Invisibility Technique and Body Flicker Technique,
They heard several 'whooshing' Whistling Sound behind them, and at the same time, a strong Sense of Danger suddenly appeared in their Heart.
These were Shuriken!
Although they were only Genin, they had considerable Combat Experience, so they naturally guessed the incoming objects at the first moment.
This shocked them. How could the opponent accurately target them within the Thick Smoke?
However, thinking is one thing, but dodging is still necessary.
However...
"Ah!!"
Three shrill Scream rang out one after another.
Several dark Shuriken were embedded in the backs, back of the legs, arms, and other parts of the three Cloud Hidden Genin. Their Body also lost balance due to the Severe Pain, and they fell heavily from Mid-air.
"What?!"
The Expression of the Cloud Hidden Chunin changed drastically.
The opponent's Shurikenjutsu was actually so exquisite, it seemed they had already made a Prediction regarding their dodging movements, and this was even within the Thick Smoke.
This indicated that the opponent was very likely also a Ninja with some kind of Sensory Ability.
Regarding this Intelligence, he felt it was very necessary to transmit it back outside the city, but the constantly approaching Whistling Sound behind him was telling him that he was now unable to protect himself.
Facing this Situation, his Strength as a Cloud Hidden Chunin was displayed.
He actually performed a somersault in the air again, forcefully changing his original movement, and dodged the thing that flew past from below.
"Rope?!"
"Oh my, you actually dodged it, how amazing, Big Brother (Term of Address) who can Discharge~~"
But the next second, a childish laugh like that of a young girl sounded behind him, the mocking tone in her voice very obvious.
"Jonin!!"
The Cloud Hidden Chunin was instantly terrified. The opponent's Speed had clearly exceeded the Scope of a Chunin.
But as a Ninja, how could he just wait for death? He immediately put in all his Strength, quickly turned around and slashed the Kunai in his hand, because there was no Time to perform Hand Seal at this moment.
[Clang————]
The Kunai, striking through the air with Sharpness, was actually blocked by a slender finger, the upper part dark and the lower part fair, yet it produced the Sound and Fire Spark that only occur during Metal Collision.
This caused the Cloud Hidden Chunin's Pupil to suddenly shrink, followed by a flash of fierce look in his eyes.
He channeled the Chakra within his Body into the Kunai, and at the same time transformed its nature into the most dangerous Electro.
This caused the Kunai to instantly burst forth with a large amount of blue Lightning.
"Die!"
The surging Electric Serpent bared its fangs and claws, pouncing towards Takumi, while a part of it attempted to spread along her finger.
[Bang!]
A heavy Muffled Sound rang out. The Cloud Hidden Chunin's abdomen was suddenly struck by a heavy kick, causing him to immediately spit out Blood. His entire Body turned into a Cannonball and flew backward.
He didn't understand.
Why did this small-statured Women, who looked like a Child, possess such great Strength?
Even with Chakra resisting a certain amount of damage for him, he could still clearly feel the Severe Pain in his Internal Organs. He knew he had lost his Combat Ability.
But he still stared fixedly at Takumi, unwilling to give up, because he wanted to see if his final blow had caused any damage to the opponent!
"How is that possible..."
But the greater the Hope, the greater the disappointment. The Women's entire skin, including the Clothing on her Body, had been dyed a layer of dark, and those Electro darted around on her Body for a few moments before disappearing without a trace.
Looking at the opponent's appearance, it was clear she hadn't been affected at all!
Why!
He didn't understand, what kind of Ninjutsu was that?
However, the next second.
Takumi threw another thick and long hemp rope, tightly tying up the Cloud Hidden Chunin who was coughing up Blood repeatedly.
At the same Time.
The Cloud Hidden Genin who had been stabbed by Shuriken had already been brought under the Control of her three Genin.
"Just who are you people, which Ninja Village are you from?"
"Oh my, are they dead?"
Takumi completely ignored the Cloud Hidden Chunin's question, instead bouncing and jumping to stand before her subordinates who had been struck by the Lightning Release and fallen to the Ground.
Then she let out a light breath, turned her head, and mocked the Cloud Hidden Chunin: "What's this, they're still breathing? Looks like the Power of your Ninjutsu isn't that great after all, you can't even electrocute a person to death~"
"How is this possible..."
The Cloud Hidden Chunin was also full of shock upon hearing this.
Although his Lightning Release wasn't outstanding in his Village, it shouldn't be to the extent that it couldn't even electrocute these people who were clearly Genin to death.
Of course.
Being in a Coma on the Battlefield was actually no different from being a dead person.
"Alright, come with us. You're also a Ninja, you should understand the next Process. I Hope you'll cooperate well~" Takumi said, looking at the opponent with a smile.
"Hmph!"
The Cloud Hidden Chunin's face darkened. He immediately turned his head away and ignored her, but in his Heart, he was already lamenting for himself. In his mind, he also began to recall the appearance of his wife and daughter.
He really couldn't go home this Time.
Although Raikage-sama and the Large Force were still outside, he firmly believed that these black-clothed Ninja would definitely be dealt with, but his own fate would most likely not be much better...
Chapter 817: Impersonate, Impersonate!
The spacious Palace located two hundred meters underground in Roran had undergone very obvious changes at this time.
First, the dark Environment had become incredibly bright under the effect of a large number of Light Shells, which could be described as brilliantly lit.
The Original Copy solitary circular Altar that stood high up, completely isolated from its surroundings, had also had a Stone Bridge connecting it to the distant Main Gate built again with the help of the Alchemists.
Even the tightly shut, heavy Stone Gate had been completely opened.
They even conveniently built a spiral Stairs right against the Wall that led directly outside.
This kind of operation was simply too easy for Alchemists.
Even a newly graduated Junior Alchemist could do it, it would just take a longer Time.
Fortunately, the World Government directly transferred five Junior Alchemists specializing in the Ore Domain.
They finished all of this in less than twenty minutes, then clapped their hands and returned to the Canberra Continent in the Titan World on the other side of the Star Gate.
Now, except for those Alchemists who particularly liked Combat and wanted to adventure in Otherworlds.
Most Alchemists had confirmed that they would not easily participate in Combat, mainly being responsible for areas such as Education, Construction, Logistics, and Scientific Research.
At the same time.
Two hundred Ninjas from the Sea Ninja Village finally all passed through the Star Gate and arrived in this Ninja World.
Then, under the leadership of Tengen Uzui, Fukurokuju, Bishamon, and Yazaemon, they were divided into four parts.
They quickly rushed towards the Upper Area of Roran from two directions: the spiral Stairs right against the Wall and the Steps / Stairway Corridor behind the Stone Gate.
Soon.
Ninja figures, accompanied by dense Crows, poured out from the two exits, one above and one below, like a black tide.
[Swish swish swish swish...]
As soon as they appeared on the Streets inside Lou Lan City, they were also startled by the towering Spires and crisscrossing Sky Bridges here.
After all, such a distinctive City Style was not seen anywhere in the World or the Imperial Arms World.
They also felt the stuffy Temperature and the omnipresent Sandstorm here.
"Scatter!"
"Scatter!"
But they quickly composed themselves and, led by the Chunin, divided into a large number of four-person Teams, quickly sweeping out towards all directions within the City.
Their Mission was to completely occupy Lou Lan City according to the original Plan, and at the same time, eliminate any Cloud Hidden Ninja who might be present in the City.
Actually, this was also a temporary Plan due to an Accident.
After all, the World Government's Original Copy idea was to let the Ninjas of the Sea Ninja Village silently Infiltrate the Ninja World.
After gathering enough Intelligence and making full preparations, they would then Dispatch the Main Battle Force to launch a full-scale invasion and first deal with the so-called Five Great Nations!
But who could have expected that as soon as Tengen Uzui and the others came out, they would be Facing the Plight of being surrounded by the Cloud Hidden Village's Ninja Army?
This is a situation where plans can't keep up with changes.
But plans can flexibly change with changes.
Tengen Uzui and their Mission thus changed directly from Infiltrating the Ninja World and gathering Intelligence to occupying Roran and blocking Cloud Hidden, buying Time for the forces behind them.
To be honest, the Difficulty was great.
After all, two hundred people against three to four thousand people, no matter how you look at it, is an impossible Matter.
However, these two hundred Ninjas from the Sea Ninja Village had no Fear, but instead were filled with confidence in their Hearts, because they knew deeply that behind them was the World Government!
Besides, if an irresistible Situation really occurred.
Even if the Large Force couldn't arrive in Time, it wouldn't prevent them from Dispatching a few High-Level Combatants to come and provide Support first.
So, what's there to be afraid of?
Just fight!
Soon, these Sea Ninjas guarded various Zones within Lou Lan City, and during this time, they also encountered Cloud Hidden Ninja who had come in for Detection.
However, none of these Cloud Hidden Squads were Jonin, so naturally, they couldn't cause much of a stir.
The Strength of Cloud Hidden's Chunin was not weak, far stronger than the Chunin of other Small Ninja Villages in the Ninja World, and they could even serve as Jonin there.
But they were no match for Sea Ninja Village's Jonin like Fukurokuju, Bishamon, and Yazaemon, who were proficient in the Two Colors of Haki.
So, after only a brief small commotion, peace was restored again.
So what should they do next?
This was the problem placed before Tengen Uzui. He didn't waste Time going to see Queen Sara, but instead came to the City Wall Top and scanned the large number of Cloud Hidden Ninja outside the City.
Seeing their eager Posture, it wouldn't be long before they launched an attack.
This scene, combined with the sky-filled Sandstorm and the boundless, vast Sand Sea, truly created a suffocatingly grim Atmosphere.
"Defend, it seems we can't defend it..."
Tengen Uzui rubbed his Chin with a composed Expression and muttered to himself, "Then there's only attack, but how to attack? I need to think about it carefully..."
A few seconds later, he had an idea in his Heart.
He immediately took a deep breath, puffing out his Chest, and then shouted towards the Direction of the Raikage's Main Tent.
"I am Tengen Uzui, a Jonin of the Sea Ninja Village! Could I trouble the Third Raikage of Cloud Hidden Village to come out for a moment to discuss the survival of this Roran, and also talk about the lives and deaths of your Captives!"
His voice Earth was incredibly loud, and the so-called attack referred to taking the initiative to strike.
Whether it was the Ninjas of the Sea Ninja Village or the Ninjas of Cloud Hidden Village outside the City, anyone who was close enough showed a pained Expression and tightly covered their ears.
Tengen Uzui's words, at such a volume, were naturally heard clearly by the Third Raikage.
He, who was usually short-tempered, subconsciously showed an Angry Expression.
"Sea Ninja Village?"
"What kind of place is that? A Small Ninja Village I've never even heard of, daring to be so presumptuous in front of This Old Man!" After speaking, he immediately strode out of the Tent with his thick Backing.
Tsuchidai followed closely behind with a confused look, while quickly thinking about the information regarding the Sea Ninja Village in his mind.
"Raikage-sama, I can be certain, there has never been any Sea Ninja Village in the Ninja World!"
"Then how do you explain the Ninja Unit up there?"
The Third Raikage asked in a deep voice without turning his head as he walked towards the front of Lou Lan City.
Although he wasn't a Perception type Ninja, his Gaze was very sharp. A quick scan of the City Wall Top above allowed him to see dozens of black-clothed Ninjas.
This was enough to indicate that there were at least nearly a hundred Ninjas inside.
Such a Scale must undoubtedly be a Ninja Village.
Tsuchidai proposed a guess thoughtfully: "Perhaps they are Ninjas from other Ninja Villages Impersonating?"
"Hmm?"
The Third Raikage's footsteps paused. Looking at Tengen Uzui, who was now visible, he nodded and said, "That is indeed possible, but is there a need for it?"
Without waiting for Tsuchidai's reply, he took a few more steps forward, then stopped and looked up, shouting, "Don't use this 'Sea Ninja Village' as a cover! Immediately state your true Identity."
"Otherwise, This Old Man will go over and kill you right now!"
"Eh?"
Tengen Uzui raised an eyebrow upon hearing the Third Raikage's words, thinking to himself, "Is he suspecting that we are Impersonating other Ninja Villages?"
Eh, this is good. Why not go along with this Direction...
"Hahahaha, as expected of Raikage-sama, Third Raikage! Such an Insignificant Trick can deceive Sunagakure and this Roran, but it cannot hide from you!"
Tengen Uzui laughed loudly.
The Third Raikage below had an 'as expected' Expression and asked in a deep voice, "Oh, and who might you be?"
"We are Ninjas from Konohagakure in the Land of Fire! We are here to guard Roran under the command of Lord Hokage! Could I ask you to leave now?" Tengen Uzui said loudly.
"Konoha..."
A hint of Scruple flashed in the Third Raikage's eyes.
End of Chapter
Chapter 818: Cloud Hidden Stunned!
Currently, Konohagakure.
Although it had successively lost the Second Hokage and Hatake Sakumo, who had committed suicide not long ago, its Overall Strength was still relatively intact.
The current Third Hokage was nearing fifty. Although he couldn't be said to be in his prime, he was much better off than someone in their sixties or seventies.
Coupled with the endless emergence of various geniuses.
Especially the 'Sannin' who had become famous during the previous Second Great Ninja War.
There were also the Hyuga Clan's Clan Leader Hyuga Hiashi and the Uchiha Clan's Clan Leader Uchiha Fugaku, who were in their Able-Bodied Youth.
As for Minato Namikaze.
He had not yet encountered the Cloud Hidden Village's 'AB Combo', nor had he experienced the 'Battle of Kannabi Bridge'.
Therefore, the name 'Yellow Flash' had not yet appeared.
He could only be considered a slightly famous Leaf Jonin.
However, regarding the 'Sannin', Tsunade had developed Hemophobia and left Konoha alone. Orochimaru spent every day researching things Underground and had no interest in the Three Great Ninja Wars. Jiraiya claimed to be on a training journey, but he was actually looking for the Prophesied Disciple.
It could be said that aside from their reputation which could still bluff people, they were basically in a half-crippled state.
Of course.
Other Ninja Villages were unaware of these Matters.
Based on these Situations, when the Third Raikage heard Tengen Uzui claim to be a Konoha Ninja, he felt some Scruple.
However, Scruple was one thing, but he wouldn't retreat just because of the four words 'Konoha Ninja'.
"Hmph!"
The Third Raikage narrowed his Eyes and sneered, "Perhaps you really are Konoha Ninja, but it's not necessarily true that you were sent by the Hokage, is it?"
"Oh?"
Tengen Uzui raised an eyebrow.
He was a little curious about what the other party wanted to say, but then he heard the Third Raikage's voice carried by the wind again.
"If you were Ninja sent by the Hokage, there would be no need to be so sneaky, pretending to be some bullshit Sea Ninja Village..."
Hearing this, Tengen Uzui somewhat understood what the other party wanted to say.
"Black Attire, hehehehe, you're Danzō's people, aren't you? Your purpose here is to take away that Queen of Rōran. Is This Old Man correct?"
The Third Raikage crossed his arms, looked up at Tengen Uzui on the City Wall Top, who had fallen silent, and sneered repeatedly.
Konoha's 'Root'.
This Tissue, although unknown to most people in the Ninja World, was no Secret to the Raikage.
Because their Cloud Hidden Village, no, rather, all Great Ninja Villages had similar ones.
It was just that their Scale wasn't as large as 'Root', and they all operated under the Identity of 'Anbu' or 'Spy'.
The main reason was that other Ninja Villages didn't have Talent like Shimura Danzō.
Even if they did, the Third Raikage would never tolerate their existence.
That's why he could never understand what the Third Hokage was thinking. How could the Village allow a Ninja Unit that even the Kage couldn't directly Order?
If it were him, he would have long since used 'Lariat' to take off Shimura Danzō's Head!
"Hmm—hahahaha, truly worthy of being Raikage-sama, you're too amazing! Everything you said is correct, we are indeed Root under Lord Danzō, no mistake!"
At this moment, loud laughter rang out from above again.
Tengen Uzui truly hadn't expected that with just a few simple words, this Third Raikage had helped smooth over their Identity.
"But Root Ninja are also Konoha Ninja, aren't they? Could you give us some face? We can have the Queen provide everyone with enough water and Food!"
If they could just send these Cloud Hidden Ninja away like this, that would naturally be for the best.
After all, they were indeed not prepared to start a war right now.
"Hehe, a bunch of stinking rats from the gutter, you think you're worthy of This Old Man's face? Utterly ridiculous! Even if Danzō himself were here, if he didn't kneel, he wouldn't even have the Qualification to be Speaking to This Old Man!"
The Third Raikage had already determined, based on Tengen Uzui's eagerness for them to leave, that there weren't many 'Root' Ninja Inside the City.
Even if these shady fellows all died here, no one would speak up.
Not even their Leader, Shimura Danzō.
"Huh? Something doesn't seem right..."
Seeing the Third Raikage's Attitude becoming increasingly hostile, Tengen Uzui felt some surprise and suspicion in his heart.
Could it be that the Identity of being Konoha Ninja and Root was useless?
"Tsuchidai, pass down the Order! The First Unit must take Rōran within thirty minutes! Kill the black-clothed Ninja inside without mercy, but don't touch that Kid up there! This Old Man will Capture Alive him personally!"
At the same time.
The Third Raikage said no more, turning his Head to give the Order to Tsuchidai behind him.
"Yes!"
On Rōran's City Wall Top, Tengen Uzui, who could hear the voices through Observation Haki, had an awkward expression.
He had originally planned to rely on Communication to talk the Third Raikage into leaving, but now it seemed to have had a Counter-effect?
Wait.
If he hadn't taken the initiative to be Speaking, the other party might have attacked much earlier. So his eloquence was still pretty good...
"Pass down the Order: just fight while retreating. The Bottom Line is five hundred meters around the Underground Palace!"
Looking at the nearly thousand menacing Cloud Hidden Ninja below the city, Tengen Uzui drew the two dark gold Nichirin Blades from his back while instructing the few Genin standing behind him.
"Yes!"
These few Genin immediately took out Den Den Mushi and began to convey the Order to the Jonin in the other Defense Zones.
As for the Kasugai Crow on their Shoulder, their main job had changed from transmitting messages to assisting Ninja in Combat.
So their Falcon and claws were fitted with steel hooks, and they wore a small black bag on their backs. Even every single Feather was covered with a layer of processed 'Kabane Heart Membrane'.
It could be said they had that Ninja Beast feel now.
[Swish swish swish...]
The First Unit, as referred to by the Third Raikage, was actually the Ninja responsible for fighting on the front lines.
They were divided into four parts, with four people per Group (Unit), launching a fierce Offensive simultaneously on all four sides of Rōran. Clearly, they weren't planning to let any 'Konoha Ninja' inside escape.
But just then, cawing sounds that were hard not to notice rang out overhead.
Because the sounds were very loud and very frequent.
Many Cloud Hidden Ninja subconsciously looked up, surprised to find many Crow circling in the sky.
"What is that?"
Some Ninja with sharp Gaze vaguely noticed many small black dots falling from overhead. Only after a few seconds did they see what they were.
They were Small Black Balls the size of Pills.
"Watch out above, dodge!"
Although they didn't know what these things were, since the other party was using them in this Situation, they clearly weren't sweet Candy.
Their warning was timely enough, but these Small Black Balls, seemingly thrown by the Crow, were not only large in Quantity but also spread over a wide range.
Therefore, when the black balls landed, there were still quite a few Cloud Hidden Ninja nearby.
The next moment.
A deafening Loud Noise Accompanied By a surging Great Explosion appeared. Balls of Flame and violent Shockwave swept out, engulfing the Ninja within the range one after another.
[Boom boom boom boom...]
Looking down from Rōran Fortress, it was like continuous Hikari and Gunsmoke rising from the Desert, as if the Zone was undergoing a Baptism of Artillery Barrage.
Moreover, it wasn't just this side; the other three sides also simultaneously heard wave after wave of Explosion Sound.
And that wasn't all.
Many Sea Ninja Village Ninja, under the shocked Gaze of the Cloud Hidden Village Ninja who had already approached, actually pulled out completely black Long-barreled Firearms from behind them and aimed them forward...
"Huh?!"
A Cloud Hidden Village Chunin was stunned.
Thanks to Reader River Lord Yu Ge for the 100 Qidian Coin Tip! Bow! Thank you for your Support and Encouragement!
Thanks to Reader 160808084420328 for the 100 Qidian Coin Tip! Bow! Thank you for your Support and Encouragement!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 819: Tricked Again!
There are Firearms in the Ninja World.
However, under the Strength of a certain Creator God, they have remained at the Pistol stage.
But this doesn't mean that the IQ of the Cloud Hidden Ninja is so low that they wouldn't recognize an Automatic Rifle as a type of Firearm.
Yet, it is precisely because of this that it feels even more absurd.
This is a War between Ninja and Ninja, what do you mean by pulling out Guns?
Where are the Shuriken?
Where is the Ninjutsu?
Explosive Tags would also be fine, although very dangerous, at least they are something everyone is Familiarize with, right?
However.
The Ninja from Sea Ninja Village had no interest in discussing 'Ninja Martial Ethics' with them. They immediately pulled the Trigger under their fingers and launched a Firepower Offensive.
[Da da da da da——————]
Suddenly, Gunshots roared loudly, and the bright Muzzle Flash lingered for a long time, coupled with the various Bombardments from the 'Sky Origin Explosive Spheres' dropped by the Kasugai Crows.
For a moment, it was hard to distinguish whether this was a Combat between Ninja or a Combat between modern Soldiers.
In fact, Sea Ninja Village didn't initially plan to bring these Automatic Rifles.
But according to the Requirement from above, they had already learned to fight in Combat with Kunai. As for Long Sabers, their Function somewhat overlapped with Kunai, so they considered whether to switch to a different Weapon carried on their backs.
At that time, Bow and Arrow was the first Consideration.
This was because the Ninja from Shenhe Island Nation in the Imperial Arms World were proficient in Archery.
However, Bow and Arrow is not like Firearms; it's not easy to master in a short Time. So, after several internal discussions, they made the Decision to equip the Ninja with an Automatic Rifle and a Pistol.
And the Ninja who originated from Shenhe continued to use their own Bow and Arrow.
So now, although most people are firing fiercely with Automatic Rifles, there are still some among them using exquisite Archery to snipe the Cloud Hidden Ninja they have targeted.
This dealt a nearly head-on blow to the Cloud Hidden side.
They were already somewhat chaotic due to the large number of Explosions, and then they were hit by a Volley from forty to fifty Automatic Rifles. Immediately, some Genin who couldn't dodge in Time were killed on the spot.
There were also some Chunin who managed to dodge or block the Bullets with Ninjutsu but were unfortunately swallowed by the Explosions.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
At this moment, the Jonin among the Cloud Hidden had finished making Hand Seals.
In an instant, Gale roared, and a fierce Storm erupted from the mouth of one of them.
Then, on the way, it merged with the Fireball spat out by another person, forming a terrifying Fire Wave like a Tsunami, heavily Bombarding the south City Wall Top of Rōran.
This not only interrupted the Firepower Offensive of the Sea Ninja side but also collapsed a part of the City Wall, incidentally taking the lives of several Genin and Chunin who didn't manage to get out of the way in Time.
"Smoke Bomb!"
Yazaemon, who was in charge of this Defense Zone, held the Long Bow in his hand, leaping backward while shouting loudly to the surroundings.
The next moment.
More than a dozen Sea Ninja found Smoke Bombs and threw them towards the rapidly approaching Cloud Hidden Troops. With a series of Roars, thick black Smoke immediately billowed out.
There was no need for further instructions. Those who still had some Bullets in their Guns pulled the Trigger again, firing all their Bullets into the Smoke.
After emptying their Guns, they didn't check if they had hit anyone. They directly threw away their Rifles, took out their Kunai, and quickly followed Yazaemon's figure.
"Sky Origin Shell!"
Yazaemon turned his head and shouted again.
At the same Time, he also took out all the 'Little Black Spheres' from the small pouch on his leg and threw them with Force.
"Blow them back!"
The two Cloud Hidden Jonin who had just picked up Speed to chase after them, seeing many black Little Black Spheres flying towards them again, quickly stopped, cursing inwardly while rapidly making Hand Seals.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
In an instant, Gale rose again. The Storms erupting from their mouths even formed a large Wind Curtain, directly blowing the black Little Black Spheres that were about to fall back into Mid-air and sending them flying towards Yazaemon's side.
This maneuver startled many Sea Ninja.
Ninjutsu could be used like this?
"Continue to retreat, lure them Inside the City, and deal with them by Team!"
At this moment, Yazaemon let out a Roar. Simultaneously, ten pitch-black Arrows were somehow already nocked onto the Black Longbow in his hand.
The next second.
With a buzzing sound of the Bowstring rebounding.
All the Arrows turned into Black Lightning and shot out in a Volley.
In an instant, they collided with the incoming black Little Black Spheres and Strong Wind.
In a flash, the black Little Black Spheres exploded in Mid-air, then triggered the Explosion of the other black Little Black Spheres.
The fierce series of Explosions caused the surging Gale to pause for a few seconds.
But it was immediately swept into it, continuing to push forward with thick Gunsmoke and High Temperature Flame.
The Paths along the way were melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This was the Power of a Joint Ninjutsu from two Jonin, naturally extraordinary.
"Damn it, I'd like to see how long a mere less than fifty people can run! We'll kill you sooner or later!"
One Cloud Hidden Jonin's Expression was ugly as he glared angrily at the Back View of Yazaemon and the others, who had taken this opportunity to create a certain Safe Distance.
They had nearly two hundred people on their side.
There were even more Ninja outside the Fortress. There was no way the other side could survive.
"Still, be careful. The things they've brought out are all strange. Who knows what else they might have hidden."
Another Cloud Hidden Jonin reminded with a solemn Expression.
Then he asked with Doubt, "But why have I never heard of Jonin in Konoha who are proficient in Archery?"
Or rather, he hadn't even thought that there were Ninja who would use something like Bow and Arrow.
Yet, there were quite a few in the opponent's Team.
While the two were stopped and Speaking, a large number of Genin and Chunin had already rushed past them.
Then they saw some of the Ninja running at the very front being accurately hit by black Arrows whistling through the Air, falling down fiercely amidst tragic Screams.
The Speed of these Arrows was simply too fast, and their accuracy was incredibly absurd.
Even if a Ninja had already made a dodging movement, they still couldn't escape the Fate of being shot through.
Yes, shot through.
Some Arrows could even pose a threat to the Ninja behind after passing through the first Human Body.
It was clear that the Force of these Arrows was also terrifyingly Strong.
"Ergh, these Bastards, we absolutely won't spare you!"
The two Cloud Hidden Jonin could no longer hold back. With hearts full of Anger, they used Body Flicker Technique to chase after them.
They decided to take down the guy using the Bow and Arrow first.
Otherwise, if the opponent continued to pick them off like this, their subordinate Ninja would surely suffer heavy casualties.
Of course.
It was also possible that the opponent would run out of Arrows soon. This was a limitation of Bow and Arrow; if you carry too many Arrows, they become heavy, but carrying too few is also not good.
While all the Sea Ninja, led by the five Jonin including Hotei, Yazaemon, and Fukurokuju, were fighting and retreating, maneuvering with the enemy Inside the City.
On the West City Wall side.
Tengen Uzui was engaged in a one-on-one Combat with the Third Raikage.
No one disturbed them, and no Cloud Hidden Ninja stayed behind to surround them, because in their opinion, it was completely unnecessary. Tengen Uzui was already a dead man.
[Roar!!]
In the Mid-air above the City Wall Top, Electric Flash scattered everywhere, Flame burned fiercely, and the surrounding Air surged violently under the pressure of immense Strength. Even the surface of the City Wall below was visibly shaken, producing streaks of Cracks.
Two figures crossed paths, each standing above the City Wall on opposite sides.
On the left, with his back to Inside the City, was the Third Raikage, his entire body covered in blue Aura-like Chakra and streaks of Lightning.
And on the right, with his back to the nearly three thousand Cloud Hidden Great Army outside the Fortress, was Tengen Uzui, whose skin surface had been dyed pitch black, tightly gripping two dark gold chain Blades in his hands.
"What kind of Ninjutsu is that? It's actually unaffected by This Old Man's Lightning. And the Blade in your hand is an Exploding Blade. It seems you are not Konoha's Root, but Ninja from Kirigakure!"
The Third Raikage's Expression was terribly dark. He had been tricked again.

Chapter 820: Not a Jonin!
Facing the Third Raikage's fierce gaze, Tengen Uzui's Expression remained calm and unperturbed, though inwardly he was also shocked by the opponent's Strength.
This Third Raikage's Speed and Strength were actually somewhat suppressing him.
One must know that as the former Sound Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, he had always been proud of his Strength and Speed. His Wrist Strength was second among all Hashira, his Blade frequency was first, and his movement Speed was also first.
After joining the World Government, by injecting the Cell Enhancement Serum and raising his Physique to the level of the Sea Star People, his Strength and Speed had been further enhanced.
Coupled with the various boosts from Breathing Style, Life Return, Six Powers, and Haki, his overall Strength was already vastly different from the Past.
Even when sparring with the Military's Vice Admirals, he wouldn't necessarily fall into a Disadvantage.
But with the attack just now, Tengen Uzui felt a slight numbness in the area between his thumb and index finger, and the Explosion from his Nichirin Blade seemed to have no effect on the Third Raikage.
"Not answering?"
"Then This Old Man will let you witness the Strength of a Raikage!"
Seeing the opponent remain silent, the Third Raikage suddenly roared, and the Lightning Release Chakra Aura surging around him became even more intense.
His light yellow long hair even stood on end.
The next second.
He instantly transformed into a brilliant Electric Flash and appeared before Tengen Uzui, thrusting a Hand Blade condensed with immense Strength and Lightning towards the latter's neck.
This wasn't Hell Stab, just a normal Hand Blade, but under the effect of the 'Lightning Release Armor', it was comparable to a Lightning Release Ninjutsu.
"Hmm?"
However, this attack, which truly achieved the Speed of Lightning, was dodged by Tengen Uzui with a seemingly casual Turn Sideways.
Then, he reacted a step ahead of the Third Raikage, timely avoiding the fierce grab that turned his Palm into a claw attacking the neck.
The entire process happened in an instant, all within one second. A normal person's naked eye would only see a blurry Electric Flash sweeping past.
"Sound Breathing, Second Form, Cracking Firecrackers!"
With the offense and defense swapped, Tengen Uzui roared, and the Twin Swords in his hands transformed into layers of Blade Light, covering the Third Raikage like a Gale and heavy rain.
However.
At the critical moment, the latter once again turned into an Electric Flash, instantaneously appeared behind Tengen Uzui, and thrust his lightning-like Right Hand Hand Blade fiercely towards his neck, his killing intent surging.
"Hell Stab: Four-Fingered Thrust!"
"Sound Breathing, Fourth Form, Resounding Slash Without Interval!"
Tengen Uzui had no intention of turning around, as there was simply no time to do so. Therefore, he immediately spun the Nichirin Blade in his hands, using a Large-Scale Attack to counter.
At the same time, the Sense of Danger in his Heart prompted him to immediately expend more Haki and release it to his Body Surface, further strengthening his Defense.
[Boom boom boom boom-----]
Continuous, unending Explosions, Hikari, and Air Currents enveloped the entire West City Wall, leaving the Cloud Village Ninjas outside the city stunned.
The surging Heatwave even forced back some of the closer Ninjas.
The next moment.
An incredibly fast, blurry Afterimage shot out from the billowing Thick Smoke, with circles of white Air Current even visible around it, followed by a brilliant blue Electric Flash chasing after it.
The Battlefield of the two sides shifted to Inside the City of Rōran, which was filled with Spire.
This scene made the Cloud Village Ninjas breathe a sigh of relief. For some reason, they had just felt Nervousness.
"My goodness, this guy is a Monster!"
Tengen Uzui, enduring the pain in the area between his thumb and index finger, flew backward at high Speed in the air, watching the relentlessly pursuing Third Raikage.
In that instant of Collision just now.
His Technique, Explosion, and the Emission of Armament Haki were all cut open by that lightning-streaked Palm, and he only managed to block it by colliding his Blade with the Palm.
He wasn't injured, though.
After all, Hardening Armament Haki, Iron Body, and Life Return weren't just for show.
But the key was that Tengen Uzui noticed that the Third Raikage's Body was incredibly hard.
It was as if there was an invisible layer of Haki on his Body Surface, or as if his Body had reached a state of normal Iron Body?
Right.
That layer of blue Lightning Aura probably also had a protective Effect, similar to Haki, so the opponent's Body was truly hard, and his Strength was also especially great!
"Since that's the case, I won't engage in Melee Combat with you~~"
Tengen Uzui actually laughed at the Third Raikage, who was close at hand and about to catch up, and then, under the latter's cold Gaze, he fiercely slashed the Twin Swords with golden Blades and black backs in his hands forward.
As the sharp Blade cut through the Air, two intersecting dark golden Blade Lights were generated out of thin Air.
Flying Slash Attack!
Tengen Uzui himself was also a powerful Sword Master!
"Hmm?"
Seeing these intersecting Blade Lights, the Third Raikage was immediately filled with Doubt, but the movement of his hand didn't hesitate at all, and he thrust another Hand Blade forward, blasting them on the spot.
"Not Chakra Sword Aura?!"
The Third Raikage discovered that these Blade Lights were actually Pure Air, without the slightest Chakra Signature within them.
He had originally thought it was a Technique similar to the Samurai of the Land of Iron, where Chakra was attached to the Blades and then thrown out.
This was intriguing.
No Chakra meant that the opponent was relying entirely on his own Swordsmanship and Strength to unleash this... Vacuum Blade?
Also!
The opponent hadn't used Ninjutsu from beginning to end, and no Chakra had appeared on his Body, which made the Third Raikage somewhat surprised and uncertain.
Strange!
But then he suddenly found that Tengen Uzui's Figure had disappeared. He must have used the Blade Light just now to conceal his Figure. As for shaking him off with Speed, that was impossible.
So the opponent must still be nearby.
"Invisibility Technique?"
The Third Raikage stopped and carefully observed the surrounding Environment. In his Experience, a basic Ninjutsu like Invisibility Technique couldn't be truly perfect.
The sound of footsteps, the sound of Heartbeats, the sound of Breathing, and the Air movement generated when moving were all flaws.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be a basic Ninjutsu.
Right.
Except for the 'Dustless Bewildering Cover' of the Second Tsuchikage from Stone Village back then, that was true Invisibility and concealment, where even Chakra couldn't be sensed.
The Third Raikage's entire Body was flashing with continuously rising Lightning Aura, but his Gaze was keenly scanning every Detail of the surroundings.
"There's no change in the surroundings, which means you're standing still nearby."
As soon as he finished speaking, he instantly transformed into an Electric Flash and flew to High Altitude, then used his second Ninjutsu towards the area below.
"Lightning Release: Black Panther!"
He didn't seem to perform any Hand Seals, but a large amount of black Electro burst from his Body, forming a ferocious Black Panther, which swooped down towards the Position about ten meters slightly ahead of where he had just been standing.
The Third Raikage wasn't sure if Tengen Uzui was there, but his Intuition instinctively led him to release the Ninjutsu towards that spot.
Anyway, this Technique would spread in all directions, as long as it was within that Zone.
"Soundwave Cannon!"
The next moment, a brilliant Light Pillar, white with a hint of light blue, shot out from thin Air, striking the rapidly approaching Lightning Black Panther.
[Boom!!!]
In an instant, it was as if Thunder and lightning exploded in Mid-air.
A Commotion so loud that even the Third Raikage found it deafening echoed throughout Inside the City of Rōran and outside.
The wildly expanding Loss of Control Energy snapped the entire Sky Bridge in half, shattered all the Window within a radius of several kilometers, and then a brilliant Radiance erupted in the Sky, attracting the Gaze of everyone Inside the City and outside.
"He actually has such Means, Sound Release? Or some Bloodline Limit? This guy... is definitely not just a Jonin!"
The Third Raikage said through gritted teeth, looking at Tengen Uzui, who had revealed his Figure on the opposite side.
I wonder if there are any Readers who are surprised by the extent of Tengen Uzui's Strength increase?
