I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

Furthermore, this fierce battle appears to have triggered a chain reaction.

For example, Konoha immediately sent reinforcements to the battlefield against Kumogakure to launch a counterattack, which forced Kumogakure, which was missing the Third Raikage, to also send reinforcements.

There's also Sunagakure.

Just like when the Hidden Cloud Village crossed the sea to attack the Land of Wind, the Hidden Sand Village not only slowed down its attack on the Land of Earth, but also sent troops across the sea to attack the Land of Lightning.

In conclusion, Konoha and Sunagakure likely intended to tie down Kumogakure's forces, using Iwagakure to ambush and kill the Third Raikage.

In the office, at the end of the report, Nono let out a sigh.

The fierce counterattack from Iwagakure was unexpected.

However, the cooperation between Konoha and Sunagakure is equally astonishing.

Naraku bluntly stated, "The Hidden Cloud Village is being devoured by the backlash of war."

That's exactly what backlash looks like.

Shoot the first bird.

The Hidden Cloud Village has been incredibly proactive since the start of the war. If they didn't have the opportunity, so be it. Now that an opportunity to suppress them has arisen, it has naturally attracted the tacit cooperation of various forces.

Of course, it's also possible that Onoki was behind this.

This is a true veteran.

Their experience in war is so rich it's almost overflowing.

To take advantage of the situation and form alliances.

Naraku was completely confident that the other party was capable of carrying out these methods.

but

"Nonou, I'm leaving the village to you for now." Naraku slowly stood up.

Nono was slightly taken aback: "You're going out?"

“Yes, now is the opportunity I’ve been waiting for.” Naraku smiled happily.

If all parties tacitly cooperate to suppress the Hidden Cloud Village, then he can also take this opportunity to find an ally.

"Hurry! Don't give them a chance to breathe! Keep attacking with ninjutsu!"

"Oh no, they're too fast, I can't stop them."

"Don't panic, reinforcements will arrive soon. Use combined earth magic to hold off the enemy."

"."

In the border region of the Land of Earth, countless Iwa ninja formed teams, constantly unleashing ninjutsu amidst shouts and roars, launching wave after wave of attacks and defenses.

"Earth Release·Earth Flow Wall!"×N.

"Earth Release: Earth Flowing River!" ×N.

"Earth Release: Rock Pillar Prison!" ×N.

"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!" ×N.

"."

Rock walls rise up, forming multiple layers of defense.

The earth turned into mudslides, making it difficult for people to stand.

The rock pillars became cages, sealing off all activities.

Sharp spikes shot out from the ground, attacking everything in their path.

thunderbolt!

Only one person fought against the Iwa ninja.

This was a figure whose entire body was crackling with lightning.

Faced with a barrage of Earth Release ninjutsu, this person charged and crashed around at supersonic speed.

Not only did it ignore attacks like ground spikes, but it also forcefully shattered the blocking rock pillars and walls, closing the distance time and time again, tearing the surrounding rock ninja apart with its bare hands.

Amidst the booming sounds of ninjutsu attacks, the agonizing screams of Iwa ninja dying were interspersed from time to time.

The Iwa ninja didn't mention it.

Through the lightning coiling around his body, one could see that the figure who was fighting against countless Iwa ninjas all by himself was a tall old man with dark skin, light yellow hair and a long beard.

He is none other than the Third Raikage of Kumogakure.

Looking at all the Kage in the ninja world, apart from the super-powerful Hashirama Senju, the Third Raikage is undoubtedly at the pinnacle of the ninja world's conventional combat strength.

Even after being besieged by the Iwa ninja for a full day and night, the Third Raikage showed no signs of falling; on the contrary, he seemed to grow stronger with each battle.

When Naraku arrived near the battlefield using the "Shrinking Earth to an Inch" technique, what he saw was the spectacular scene of the Third Raikage fighting against tens of thousands of Iwa ninja.

"They are truly brave, but if the Hidden Cloud Village doesn't receive further support at this rate, they will ultimately perish as well."

Upon arriving near the battlefield, Naraku did not immediately reveal himself, but instead hid in the shadows, watching the fierce battle between the Third Raikage and the Iwa ninja.

He was quite impressed by the Third Raikage's valiant performance.

Although he himself had the experience of fighting three thousand Iwa ninjas alone.

But it is precisely because of this that he understands the difficulty even more.

Once the number of ninjas increases, their combat power will increase dramatically.

For example, right now, the Iwa ninjas are divided into teams, and when they combine their ninjutsu, the resulting ninjutsu is overwhelming and easily possesses S-rank power.

If it were someone else...

For example, there's Yoru, who once fought against Naraku.

Even with the strength of an elite Jonin at the second stage, Yekura couldn't withstand such a large-scale attack for long.

But at that moment, the Third Raikage withstood the fierce attack from the Iwa ninja.

This is not only because the Third Raikage is stronger than Pakura, possessing the strength of an elite Jonin at the third stage, but also because the Third Raikage's fighting style is quite similar to Naraku's.

Naraku was able to easily defeat the three thousand Iwa ninja because he possessed high attack, high defense, and high speed.

The same applies to the Third Raikage.

The Third Raikage had mastered the Lightning Release Chakra Mode to an unparalleled degree, coupled with his physique honed to perfection.

This makes the Third Raikage a player with high stats, high skill level, and high stats.

His high attack power allowed him to easily break through the Earth Release defenses of the Iwa ninja.

His high defense allows him to withstand attacks from the Iwa ninja.

His high speed gives him exceptional mobility, allowing him to handle both offense and defense with ease.

Just like the Fourth Shinobi World War in the original storyline.

The current battle situation between the Third Raikage and the Iwa ninja.

The Third Raikage's superior speed and attack made it difficult for the Iwa ninja to inflict fatal damage on him. He would even break through the Iwa ninja's defenses from time to time, causing heavy casualties among them.

The Iwa ninja relied on sheer numbers, launching a combined ninjutsu counterattack against the Third Raikage while simultaneously using relentless attacks to hold him back, preventing him from breaking through the encirclement and forcing him into a prolonged battle.

Naraku watched the battle with great interest, showing no sign of making a move.

Adding flowers to brocade is never as good as providing charcoal in the snow.

A life-saving grace is only truly precious when one's life is in danger.

While he came here hoping to take advantage of the Third Raikage's presence to form an alliance with Kumogakure, the timing of his move was crucial.

Given the current situation, the Third Raikage is far from being at his wit's end.

Even if someone is saved, the debt of gratitude will be diminished.

Therefore, Naraku naturally intended to repay the debt of gratitude.

While patiently waiting, the fierce battle unknowingly continued for another two days and two nights.

It was clear that, under the tacit suppression from multiple parties, Kumogakure simply could not spare any extra troops to support the Third Raikage.

After three days and three nights of fierce fighting, the casualties on the Iwagakure side were extremely heavy, with nearly a thousand people dying.

Moreover, this was only because Iwagakure deployed its top-tier forces in time to restrain the Third Raikage; otherwise, Iwagakure's casualties would have been even greater.

It seems that Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) did not expect the Third Raikage to be so tenacious.

The original intention was to use sheer numbers to wear down the Third Raikage.

However, as the battle continued and casualties increased, the top combat forces of Iwagakure were forced to join the fight.

Let's talk about the Third Raikage.

He is not Naraku after all.

After a prolonged battle, even the formidable Third Raikage was now panting heavily, and even his defense, once hailed as the strongest shield, had weakened, leaving him with numerous wounds.

This situation is caused by chakra.

High-intensity battles naturally place a huge burden on chakra.
