From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 27 The Third Raikage (Two in One)

One day, two days, three days.
As the agreed breakout time got closer, the number of Cloud Hidden Team members lingering around decreased, as if they had not found any trace of them and had turned to searching elsewhere.

The entire Konoha team began to get anxious and aggressive, and even doubled the original search circle at the suggestion of Bokume Kōdo.

But even so, they couldn't find any trace of the Third Raikage.

All signs indicate that there are major problems with their intelligence. There is a high probability that this action plan has been exposed, and the Third Raikage is very likely to have reached the front line from other routes.

Their mission... may have failed.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day, when the sunlight turned from bright at noon to dim, that everyone realized this.

Only Tsunade couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Grandfather, great uncle, grandmother, elders of the Senju clan, father, mother, Nawaki.
There were so many people who died on the battlefield. There were always people around her who suddenly disappeared forever at some point.

Such long-lasting pain lurks silently in the deepest part of our heart on weekdays, seemingly invisible.

But at the critical moment, it will suddenly burst out and turn into heavy pressure, weighing heavily on the heart.

But, it finally came to an end.

"Now, does anyone have any other opinions?"

When they returned to the base again, looking at everyone who was still unwilling to give up, Tsunade took a deep breath and looked seriously at the other comrades in the team.

No one said anything.

Even the most stubborn Ando Daiyama actually understood that this mission had been a complete failure.

"In that case, let's follow the original plan, take a night's rest, and start to break through the gap in the Kumogakure encirclement that we discovered earlier tomorrow morning." Seeing that they were silent, Tsunade gave the order decisively.

"Yes."

Based on their explorations over the past few days, they have already explored the patrol circle of the surrounding Hidden Cloud Forces.

The warfare of ninjas is different from that of ordinary people. They do not need to find roads to facilitate the passage of large-scale troops, nor do they need to carry large amounts of logistical military supplies. It is very difficult to block their movements through key nodes.

Therefore, almost all ninja villages march in small teams as the basic unit, spread out in large numbers over a long area, and monitor and report on each part through sensing ninjas, ultimately presenting a wave-like, loose and scattered deployment mode that can gather manpower with extremely high flexibility.

However, this wave-like deployment is naturally not worth mentioning for the elite team composed of Tsunade and others.

During these three days, they have found several gaps that are wide enough to pass through quickly.

"only."

As he was speaking, Kato Dan suddenly frowned and spoke.

He looked at the military map in front of everyone, looking thoughtful, and said puzzledly: "Our actions in the past few days have been so obvious that it is enough for Yunyin to figure out our approximate range of activities."

"Why, until now, there haven't been enough people to carry out the roundup?"

This unreasonable behavior made him feel uneasy.

"."

In fact, Kato Dan is not the only one who has such concerns.

However, Kumogakure is currently in the midst of a war.

There are so many unexpected situations that may occur on the battlefield, and no one can predict them.

Maybe now the Raikage has been surrounded by ten thousand Iwagakure ninjas and died in the battle?
"Don't worry so much, Kato." After confirming that he was going to give up the mission, Kimetsu's tone was obviously a little more relaxed than before, and he said casually, "Maybe the Iwagakure and Kumogakure have already started fighting, and the Raikage and Tsuchikage are fighting so hard that they can't take care of us at all?"

Even Ando Daishan was not as resolute as before.

A whole month, plus the final three days of waiting and searching, was enough to wear out the last bit of his patience.

He picked up the ceramic bowl, sipped the hot water inside, and said in a hoarse voice: "We can't communicate with the village for intelligence now. It is possible that many unknown things have happened on the front line."

"It's been a month after all."

In a national war, one month is enough to change the strategic situation of an entire region.

"makes sense."

Hearing his teammates say this, Kato Dan couldn't help but feel relieved.

Maybe his worries were unnecessary?
At the moment of making the decision, the entire narrow and warm underground base seemed to be lifted from a heavy cloud, and everyone felt a sense of relaxation from the inside out.

But no one can say more.

After returning to the village, they have to face other severe situations.

"Crash-"

Suddenly, there was a dull thunder outside, followed by a drizzle of rain.

The low air pressure carries water vapor, making the air slightly moist, and there is a slight coolness when you breathe.

However, changes in the natural environment are not enough to affect the ninja's mood.

During the long war, everyone had already been mentally exhausted by the heavy task pressure and high-intensity physical labor. Even with the sound of rain, they could easily fall into a shallow state of rest.

just
Just as the four of them leaned against the stone wall and closed their eyes to rest.

"Snapped."

One of the warning runes placed in the center of the four people suddenly exploded.

In an instant, everyone opened their eyes almost simultaneously, catapulted into action, and stood up suddenly.

"call out!"

A red flare exploded in the distant sky covered by dark clouds.

That was a secondary confirmation signal from the ANBU members on guard.

Enemy attack.

Tsunade immediately turned her head and ordered:
"Ando!"

Long before the captain gave the order, Ando Daishan, who was in charge of perception, had already bent down and pressed his hands on the ground, sensing the chakra spreading out in all directions like ripples, and then returning to his mind again.

However, the harder Ando tried to perceive, the more solemn his expression became.

"Four from the West, three from the South, seven teams in total."

"The latest wave has come as close as five kilometers."

"The total number of people is unknown, at least thirty, and the chakra reactions of four Jonin-level or above are within the sensing range."

He spoke faster and faster until finally, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "We're exposed! These people are very fast and have a clear direction."

Ando Daisan's subtext is.
This stronghold had probably been discovered long ago.

"hateful!"

Mumu Kungfu smashed the ground with his sword.

It is clear.

In recent days, they have been played by others.

At this time, only Tsunade remained calm.

Perhaps because she was extremely pessimistic about the current situation, she had prepared several escape plans long before the attack.

It comes in handy right now.

"Ando, ​​send a signal to the outside world, asking them to leave on their own and reunite with us after breaking through." Tsunade said, turning her head to look at the other side, "Kume, use earth escape to take us to the fourth reserve exit three kilometers away, and then prepare to force our way through the encirclement in the south."

"They are trying to drive us northeast. We must not let them do what they want."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Mumu Gongdao made seals with his hands without any hesitation.

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Hidden Technique!"

The next moment, the four people present were immediately swallowed up by the soil under their feet.

The softened soil, like a mudslide, was rapidly retreating in the four people's sight. Even though it was moving underground, its speed was no slower than that of a galloping horse.

However, for ninjas, this speed is still far too slow.

Even underground, Ando kept his eyes closed while maintaining his perception ninjutsu.

Suddenly he shouted, "Right above us!"

"Boom!" The earth and rocks rolled back.

Four figures rushed out from the ground without any distinction between front and back.

The Hidden Cloud Ninjas who were still running on the trees seemed to be completely unprepared for this scene, and their bodies in mid-air even paused for a moment because of the brief shock.

that's enough.

"Weird punch!"

The strange chakra that condenses explosive power maintains the most ordinary chakra glow until the fist is swung.

However, almost at the moment it touches the human body, it immediately turns into an impact that is difficult for ordinary people to imagine. It suddenly uses an almost terrifying one-way repulsive force to turn the strong body that has been tempered for decades into a ball of exploding meat in the blink of an eye.

"boom!"

The whole person was like an imploding rag bag, wrapped in tiny dark red residue, exploding in all directions.

This powerful scene caused all the Kumogakure ninjas present to utter a whine of anger or sadness.

However, the several figures who rushed out with her rushed towards the people around them with the same swift speed, brandishing their knives.

The sound of fine metal collisions continued in the vast dense forest environment, and the splashing metal light spots spread in all directions.

Unfortunately, strong emotional fluctuations cannot further make up for the lack of ability.

After just three or two moves, the two Cloud Village Chunins who rushed towards them were ruthlessly torn into pieces.

On the contrary, the strongest Cloud Village Jonin turned around and ran away without any hesitation the moment he saw them, and joined his companions behind him.

"Don't chase me, just keep running!"

Noticing that the Bokume Kōdao seemed ready to move, Tsunade immediately scolded him and rushed to the front.

It was pouring rain, with bean-sized raindrops hitting everyone with a crackling sound. Even the cloth armor became a little heavy, and the clothes inside stuck sticky to the body.

The escape process lasted a full twenty minutes.

Among the three ANBU who fled separately from the base, only a bloody jonin managed to reunite with them.

It was obvious that the other two could never come back.

Everything about this evening feels so disturbing.

However, what bothered Tsunade the most was the ominous feeling in her heart.

Their base was discovered.

But when was it discovered?

Why did the patrol teams they encountered in the past three days all shrink their search circles at the same time, but launch an operation tonight?

All these phenomena point the situation in the most worrying direction.

Right now--

In this Yunyin garrison, there appeared a big man who was powerful enough to be the finale.

“Stop——!”

Suddenly, Ando Daishan roared loudly, and even the tone became a little sharp.

He closed his eyes, put his hands on the ground, and said quickly:
"Abnormally huge chakra reaction!"

"Jinchuuriki no! You move so fast!"

"Ten kilometers! Nine, eight, seven"

With his face soaked with rain, Ando Daizan suddenly turned his head to the east and yelled at everyone:
"It's the Third Raikage!"

This time, he wasn't the only one.

Everyone present had turned their heads towards the rain curtain in the east.

Damn it, how could it be!?

Tsunade's beautiful eyes widened.

The originally planned ambush turned into a counter-ambush. Although the enemy still only had one target, all preparations, plans, and advantages were in vain.

The situation is extremely unfavorable.

In the distance, even the torrential rain could not stop the sound of huge trees collapsing coming from afar. The extremely high speed and inhuman physical strength made the Third Raikage look like a tailed beast, rushing in a sharp straight line on this uneven terrain.

What came over me was the man's overwhelming aura, like that of a peerless ferocious beast.

That rough voice suddenly sounded from a very far distance.

“Lightning Release——”

Almost at the moment when this violent sound broke through the heavy curtains and reached their ears.

"spread!"

Tsunade's voice was extremely urgent.

But the next second, a figure wrapped in thick lightning suddenly appeared in their eyes at a speed almost like teleportation.

"——Raito Ninja meets Shutu Reito!"

At that moment, everyone was still in a daze and only had time to make an instinctive evasive reaction under Tsunade's command.

During this process, the unlucky Anbu who was on the easternmost side of the entire team had just time to turn sideways when the center of his vision was completely engulfed by the dazzling thunder.

"laugh--!"

The ninja shoes rubbed against the ground after the rain, making a harsh steaming sound like hot melt glue meeting water, and one could even smell a clear rubber odor at the tip of his nose.

There were two deep plowed marks on the ground under my feet.

The head flew up and the broken end was charred.

"thump."

The headless body fell to the ground.

Just a meeting.

The ANBU jonin with considerable background was killed instantly by the enemy.

There wasn't even time to react.

The heavy, tall, hairy man stood there. His body, over two meters tall, made him as strong as a brown bear, yet his speed was incredibly fast. His cold gaze pierced through the rain like a knife, sweeping over the little bugs of Konoha, and a disdainful smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

A huge sense of oppression, stronger than that of the tailed beasts, enveloped everyone's heart in an instant, making them feel suffocated.

"Are you the only ones?"

Seeing this, Tsunade didn't have any extra time to think. She charged forward while flipping over the trump card hidden under her forehead protector:
"Yin Seal·Resolution!"

Suddenly, complex lines quickly extended from the center of the eyebrows to the entire body.

Ando Daishan was even more decisive. The moment the Third Raikage appeared in his sight, he immediately took out a sealing scroll from his ninja tool bag, held it in his mouth, ready to bite it open at any time, and held the knife in both hands.

On the seal of the scroll, the words "Inner Bagua Seal" were written.

"Earth Escape·Earthquake Core!"

At the same time, the eyes of the Mokumoku Kōdō were already bloodshot, and the life energy and spiritual energy in the body were refined into chakra to the maximum extent, in order to maximize the range of this technique in an instant.

Such a huge consumption is just to create a large enough complex terrain to slow down the man's speed.

But
"too slow!"

Just at the moment when the terrain began to change, the lightning wrapped around the Third Raikage's body burst out again, and the whole person rushed forward at a faster speed.

The ground within a radius of dozens of meters below his feet sank as if it was collapsing, but the whole person was moving at a speed as fast as flying, stepping on the collapsed rocks and flying across the air.

That extreme speed can even leave a blurry line-like afterimage in the field of vision.

The target is directly aimed at Tsunade.

The man's extremely violent shout broke through the rain:
"Hell Thrust·Four Pen Hands!"
