Chapter 435 The Demise of Cloud Village, the Utter Flaw of Blitzkrieg

The Fourth Raikage, A, is dead.

Using Obito's corrupted Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan as a key trap, Kakashi Uchiha—no, Kakashi's ultimate double Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan form, which only appeared in the original story during his battle with Kaguya Otsutsuki—directly sucked the Fourth Raikage, A, into the Kamui dimension.

Although he doesn't have the chakra boost from the corrupted Obito like in the original work, as a super soldier who "returned from Warhammer 40K", his mental will and strength are incomparable to those in the original work. On this basis, he also entered the learning space to study and received the system fat otaku package provided by Uchiha Itachi.

In this situation, Kakashi Hatake's strength has long surpassed that of the Fourth Shinobi World War era in the original work, and can be substantially compared to his state after Obito's final act of helping him gain an advantage.

That's a super overpowered character who can directly exchange blows with Kaguya Otsutsuki and even make Kaguya suffer a minor loss.

Then, on this basis, another genius of the Hyuga clan, Neji, who also received special training and was strengthened by the possession of Tobi, the White Zetsu, was also hidden in the Kamui space.

Furthermore, perhaps due to the special nature of White Zetsu, after Tobi, a White Zetsu, possessed Hyuga Neji, Neji's Byakugan, which had become flawed due to the Hyuga family's Caged Bird Curse Seal, was actually restored.

Thus, when Hyuga Neji, having already accumulated enough power, launched a fierce attack with the most intense and direct methods targeting the Cloud Village's Lightning Release after the Fourth Raikage A was thrown into the Kamui dimension.

The Fourth Raikage, A, was already in a state of unstoppable momentum due to his previous surprise attack on Kakashi, which meant that his defensive capabilities had been greatly reduced.

In this situation, Kakashi used some tricks when throwing the Fourth Raikage A into the Kamui dimension. By taking advantage of the state of spatial logic, he directly consumed most of A's chakra and lightning armor, and made him land right next to Hyuga Neji when he entered, with his back to Hyuga Neji.

As a result, the Fourth Raikage, A, suffered a severe blow.

With the help of White Zetsu Tobi and a few days of "fat otaku" meals, Hyuga Neji's strength was undoubtedly Kage-level, and he also had the best angle of attack from an ambush.

In this situation, the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist technique was unleashed at full power, successfully delivering a full-body attack to the Fourth Raikage, A, giving him a 'full-body massage'.

In an instant, the Fourth Raikage's chakra armor completely collapsed, and even the flow of chakra within his body was severely disrupted. Furthermore, the force of the Gentle Fist erupted, instantly causing the Fourth Raikage, A, to suffer considerable internal injuries.

Without a doubt, this was the most serious injury the Fourth Raikage had ever suffered since his debut; it was an extremely tragic one.

However, even with such severe injuries, the Fourth Raikage's ability to keep secrets is not to be underestimated. He can still unleash his power once more at this moment and widen the distance between himself and Hyuga Neji.

If one can achieve this, then even with the Fourth Raikage's speed, surviving is still possible.

Of course, this would only be if the Fourth Raikage were in a normal external environment. Now he has been pulled into the Kamui dimension, where the environment is extremely harsh and strange, which is inherently disadvantageous for a speed-type ninja like him.

Most importantly, now that he's been brought in, Kakashi has no intention of giving him a chance to leave alive.

And so, the most deadly attack brought by Kakashi appeared at this moment.

The razor-sharp lightning blade swept across, and the Fourth Raikage, who had lost the protection of his Lightning Release armor and was already severely injured, had no way to resist. He took the fatal blow, his heart and throat were slashed through at the same time, and the power of the lightning turned these places into charred remains.

Under this combined attack, the Fourth Raikage only had time to widen his eyes before his life came to an end, unable to utter even his last words.

In his final moments, the Fourth Raikage seemed to see the Hatake sword technique, which had long disappeared from the ninja world, reappear with its terrifying sharpness. But it was not just the Hatake sword technique; it also included Kakashi's mastery of Layton.

Undoubtedly, this is the result of reviving the Hatake sword technique under the influence of Sakumo Hatake. It is also the result of Kakashi combining his experience in the Warhammer 40k world with his own lightning ninjutsu to create the Thunder Sword Technique, which is specifically designed for killing.

While he could never catch up with Sakumo Hatake in terms of his family's swordsmanship, he did reach the level of Konoha's White Fang in terms of overall strength in his own way.

He was originally a top genius who surpassed Itachi Uchiha, but he was trapped in the nightmare of the past and could not get out. Once he got out and ended his inner knot, and then found an even greater goal that he absolutely could not escape, his suppressed talent was completely unleashed.

On top of that, Kakashi also gains the support of a study space and a "fat otaku meal," causing his strength to surge dramatically, as if he had suddenly acquired a system.

Then, Kakashi could have easily defeated the Fourth Raikage in a direct confrontation, but instead chose to outmaneuver him, ultimately killing him with a single blow. It can only be said that the Fourth Raikage was truly fortunate, for even his death was not unjust.

Back to the present, Kakashi emerged from the Kamui dimension carrying the corpses of Hyuga Neji and the Fourth Raikage.

When the Fourth Raikage's body was laid out on the battlefield, everyone who saw it was stunned. Whether it was Konoha or Kumogakure, they were all shocked by the scene, their eyes wide with disbelief.

After all, he was the Fourth Raikage, the Kage of Kumogakure. Due to the strength and prosperity of Kumogakure and the Land of Lightning in recent years, there was already a growing chorus of voices calling him the strongest Kage.

Such a powerful Kage died, and quite casually at that—from his sudden appearance on the battlefield to being taken into the Kamui dimension by Kakashi, and now sitting up and having his body thrown out, the whole process took less than a minute.

For a normal ninja, such a short time is not unusual.

However, for a shadow, this time is too short.

Throughout the history of the ninja world, no Kage has ever died so quickly, dying less than a blade of grass on one side of the body—a darkly humorous irony.

Especially compared to the Third Raikage's feat of fighting against Iwagakure for three days and three nights before finally dying, it seems like a joke, and the Fourth Raikage seems to have become a clown entertaining the masses.

Of course, for the Cloud Ninja on the battlefield, this was not funny at all, but the most terrifying horror story in the world.

Some even suspected that this was a conspiracy orchestrated by Konoha, that the Fourth Raikage was still alive, and that the corpse the Konoha ninjas were throwing out was a fake.

The attitude is that the great and invincible Raikage could not have been killed so easily; it was all fake, an illusion, a deception!

However, the facts will not change because of these instinctive denials, nor will they affect the established truth.

When Kakashi loudly announced that the Fourth Raikage was dead and that surrender would spare his life, and then brought Neji Hyuga into the battle, the outcome was already decided.

The Cloud Village ninjas, whose situation was already unstable due to the arrival of Konoha's reinforcements, had no more ability to resist and quickly collapsed completely.

What followed was a one-sided massacre.

Those Cloud Village ninjas who refused to surrender and continued to resist suffered heavy losses and were quickly routed.

Among them, Darui, the leader of the Cloud Village ninjas, was directly killed by Kakashi, who no longer concealed his strength, resulting in the Cloud Village losing its leader.

The defeat was utter and devastating. All hope vanished, and they suffered the most devastating and horrific defeat in history.

Two thousand Cloud Village ninjas ultimately suffered a complete defeat, and none of them escaped.

Because, just as some of them were trying to escape, the White Zetsu who had been lying in wait intervened, helping Konoha by stopping or even killing all those who were trying to escape.

Clearly, this was arranged by Uchiha Itachi, and also Kakashi's request.

Konoha's objective for this operation is not merely to defeat Kumogakure, but to completely destroy it.

Clearly, Konoha 2 also has its own plans, and in some ways, it is much more radical than Konoha 2 in the main world. It is preparing to unify the power of the Konoha 2 ninja world through forceful means.

The reason for doing this is quite simple: the threat from the Otsutsuki!
The fact that World 2 is threatened by the Otsutsuki clan is no longer a secret of Uchiha Itachi alone, nor is it only known to Uchiha Madara, who was fooled by Uchiha Itachi's words.

In fact, others knew about it even before Madara Uchiha.

The source of this information was not Uchiha Itachi, but Black Zetsu No. 2—when this guy was being squeezed for all sorts of information, information about the Otsutsuki clan naturally emerged.

This is different from Black Zetsu in the main world. Black Zetsu in the main world did not have any information about the Otsutsuki clan, so Konoha in the main world was not flustered after being squeezed for information.

On the contrary, for World 2, the threat of the Otsutsuki clan is a great terror that could descend at any moment, a threat to the entire ninja world.

Among them, Kakashi Hatake directly linked the threat of the Otsutsuki clan with the threat of chaos. Therefore, he, who was already a radical among the No. 2 Konoha leaders, became even more radical and became an undisputed super war advocate.

To paraphrase Kakashi Hatake, how can we protect the ninja world and Konoha if we live in a world with a bunch of insects?
It just so happens that almost twenty years have passed since the last Shinobi World War. Among the other villages, Sunagakure and Kirigakure are not a problem. One is now a staunch ally of Konoha, and the other has been tormented by the corrupted Obito to the point that the village is on the verge of collapse.

Only Iwagakure and Kumogakure have been recuperating and preparing for war since the Third Shinobi World War. Kumogakure, in particular, has reached the point where it can practically hog Konoha.

This also means that as long as Konoha doesn't need a completely unified ninja world, but rather a ninja world where they can coexist peacefully and unite their strength against external threats, then all they need to do is deal with Kumogakure and Iwagakure.

Therefore, today's battle against Kumogakure has taken place.

It was only after Kumogakure itself stumbled upon the situation that Konoha 2 finally made up its mind. They were still divided on how to proceed and how to integrate the power of the ninja world, since there were quite a few conservatives within Konoha 2.

However, the Hidden Cloud Village's direct targeting of Konoha and its threats of war directly caused Konoha to erupt in anger, and all the differences vanished without a trace.

The Hidden Cloud Village thought that the Leaf Village was still the same weak and easily bullied village as before, and that it would back down if it was scared. However, when the Leaf Village was threatened with war by the Hidden Cloud Village this time, it thought of the humiliation of more than ten years ago, and its anger was ignited. The pro-war faction, led by Kakashi, completely gained the upper hand.

With the determination to avenge this defeat, Kakashi devised a plan to completely eliminate Kumogakure in one fell swoop, and he even contacted Konoha in the main world to request their help.

And so, a grand plan targeting the Hidden Cloud Village, the second ninja village, was launched.

Now, the initial and most important phase of the plan has been achieved: the frontline troops of Kumogakure and the Fourth Raikage have been wiped out, leaving the entire Kumogakure in a state of leaderlessness and heavy losses.

It should be noted that although the Cloud Village ninjas who came to show off their power this time were not the entire force of the Cloud Village, they were definitely an elite force.

The annihilation of two thousand elite troops is undoubtedly a devastating blow to a ninja village. Although it cannot compare to the losses caused to Konoha by the Nine-Tails' attack, it is still far greater than any other disaster. It is almost equivalent to losing an entire army in a single battle during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

In any case, the defenses of Kumogakure are currently very weak, which is an opportunity for Konoha.

The raiding force, led by Kakashi, set off towards Kumogakure, employing a blitzkrieg strategy. Prioritizing speed, they aimed to launch a deadly attack on Kumogakure before news of the annihilation of the Kumogakure frontline troops and the Fourth Raikage spread.

In fact, to maintain secrecy, the Leaf Village in the main world did take action, mainly by sending out his loyal White Zetsu army to provide support.

All the spies on the front lines were ambushed by White Zetsu, who captured them all. The news of the changes on the front lines was unknown not only to the Hidden Cloud Village, but also to other forces besides Konoha.

Therefore, by the time Kumogakure discovered it, Konoha's army had already arrived.

The Cloud Village, caught off guard by the surprise attack, was completely unprepared for Konoha's sudden attack, especially since the attack went directly to the village.

Then, under these circumstances, Kakashi, relying on the power of his Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan, directly infiltrated the Hidden Cloud Village and, just like Pain's attack on Konoha, launched a central explosion that caused the Hidden Cloud Village to face a situation of being attacked from both sides, resulting in even greater chaos.

Then, amidst the chaos, the Konoha ninjas unhesitatingly threw out the Fourth Raikage's body and informed the Kumogakure ninjas of the Fourth Raikage's annihilation along with the entire frontline.

This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Kumogakure, which exacerbated the chaos and turned a large number of people into desperate soldiers, ready to fight Konoha.

For example, Killer Bee, the Fourth Raikage's sworn brother, transformed into the complete Eight-Tails in grief and rage, ready to explode against the Leaf Village.

However, it was met with ruthless suppression the next moment.

That was the iron-fisted suppression from Naruto Uzumaki, who, as the perfect Jinchūriki, also received chakra from the other tailed beasts.

Aside from not receiving the power-up from the Sage of Six Paths as in the original story, he has surpassed all other eras and reached the level of a true Kage-level powerhouse.

The Eight-Tails alone is no match for Naruto Uzumaki plus the Nine-Tails, not to mention Kakashi's support from the side.

The Susanoo Uzumaki Naruto + Kakashi version appeared just like that, directly reminding the Eight-Tails of the fear of being dominated by a super strong person, and thus it suffered a crushing defeat that it could not resist.

After the Eight-Tails and Killer Bee suffered an easy and crushing defeat, the morale of the Hidden Cloud Village collapsed instantly. This is what is meant by a desperate army. They can unleash powerful strength because of their grief, but once that spirit is further broken, it will dissipate completely and they will fall into a state of utter defeat.

Especially in this extraordinary world where a single super-strong individual can truly decide the outcome of a great war.

And so, two days before the release of The Last Ninja, the various factions in the Ninja World No. 2 learned information that was hard to believe.

The Hidden Cloud Village was destroyed.
