The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

boom!

The shockwave from the explosion sent several people flying, including the fourth generation Ai, who had been pinned to the ground and protected by the earthen platform.

"Hmph!" After glancing at the miserable state of the Fourth A, Pain let out a cold snort and took off again.

"Shouldn't we kill him?" Kakuzu looked greedily at the Fourth Raikage below, whose life or death was unknown. He really wanted to fly down and snatch the Raikage's 'corpse,' since every village's Kage had a bounty, and the amount was very large.

Unfortunately, their leader was no longer prepared to make a move, and his attempt to seize the Fourth Raikage's body from tens of thousands of Cloud Ninja was nothing short of a pipe dream.

He didn't want to be the first member to die during a team-building event; that would be too embarrassing.

"He's doomed. Even if he survives, he'll never be a ninja again." Pain glanced at him and offered a brief explanation.

He was relatively mild-mannered towards this veteran member who had made great contributions to the organization.

"That's 250 million ryo!" Kakuzu felt a pang of heartache and could hardly breathe when he thought of the Fourth Raikage's bounty!

There are so many banknotes, enough for him to count them many times!

Hey! Wait a minute!

Severely injured! The Fourth Raikage, who is highly likely to die but has a certain chance of surviving?!

The Hidden Cloud Village would not publicize the fact that the Fourth Raikage had been crippled or even died, at least not in the short term, and not until the Fifth Raikage was chosen.

They'll definitely keep this information tightly under wraps! Even if there are spies in the Hidden Cloud Village, the only information they'll get is that the Raikage is seriously injured and is currently recovering!

They are the only outsiders who know the situation!

So!

With such a large bounty, it's not impossible to win!

Damn it! I'm gambling!

Kakuzu's dark green eyes kept darting around. Finally, he gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, preparing to find an opportunity to infiltrate Kumogakure and take the Fourth Raikage's head!

In exchange for that hefty reward.

"………………" Xiao Nan almost burst out laughing as she watched Kakuzu's constantly changing expression.

Although they had been working together for a long time, Xiaonan still found Kakuzu's money-grubbing personality amusing.

I really want to see the expression on their faces after they know I took all that money to buy supplies!

"I have something to do, you guys go back to the base first!" After giving Du a strange look again, Xiao Nan turned into a shower of paper and disappeared from the spot.

As Kisame watched this scene and sensed the summoning beast gradually slowing down, he seemed lost in thought.

On the other side~

"Quick! Where are the medical ninjas?! Get over here right now!" Tsuchida shouted immediately, looking at the devastated village.

Immediately, several medical ninjas rushed over.

"Samui, I'm entrusting the Raikage to your care for now! Make sure you take good care of the Raikage!" Tsuchida instructed Samui while urgently escorting the Fourth Hokage, A, along with several medical ninjas.

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, Samui immediately understood Tutai's meaning and nodded solemnly.

"Then I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going to find Mabui!" Although Lord Raikage's life is important, the stability of the village is also important.

He didn't believe that Konoha would remain unresponsive after the recent declaration of war.

In addition, the village was attacked by unknown assailants, the Raikage was seriously injured, and Killer Bee was captured.

The stability of the village is just as important as the safety of the Raikage!

Now, the safety of the Raikage is in the hands of Samui, while he needs to work with Mabui to stabilize the current chaotic situation in Kumogakure.

After a whole day of work, Tsuchidai and Mabui finally managed to temporarily calm down most of the indignant ninjas.

However, before they could even catch their breath, a very troublesome person appeared!

A dozen minutes ago~

As a staunch supporter of the Fifth Hokage, Tang Niu was assigned by Nara's advisor to deliver a letter to Kumogakure.

"What is this?!" From afar, Tang Niu stared in disbelief at the Syrian-damaged version of the Cloud Village. He was stunned and rubbed his eyes in disbelief, seriously wondering if he had taken the wrong path.

"This shouldn't be an illusion, right? Ono, try pinching yourself!" Tang Niu even suspected that he was under an illusion, and hurriedly said to his subordinate who was most skilled in illusions.

"Captain, we shouldn't be under a spell..." Ono's subordinate said, somewhat incredulously.

"Could it be that the Hokage has attacked?" Tang Niu, who had been to Sunagakure before, said suspiciously, "No, no, it shouldn't be the Hokage. With the Hokage's strength, it's impossible for Kumogakure to have been preserved so intact."

"That's right!" Ono and the other two ninjas beside him said with deep feeling, recalling the former Sand Village, now the Wind Country branch, and the land around it that had been ravaged by the Hokage.

"The situation has changed. Ono, Ishikawa, and Kusanagi, the three of you, turn back immediately! Report the current situation of Kumogakure to the village!" This very obvious abnormality prompted Tang Niu to immediately reissue orders to his three subordinates.

"But Captain..."

"No buts! I'm a messenger, the mere Cloud Ninja wouldn't lay a hand on me!!" Tang Niu immediately said, "Split up and retreat, be careful. Compared to me, the messenger, you are the ones in the most danger. The Cloud Ninja definitely don't want their information leaked. If you get captured, remember not to resist, just say you're also part of the messenger group."

"Yes..." After glancing worriedly at Tang Niu, the three of them gritted their teeth, stamped their feet, and immediately turned and left.

Watching his three subordinates depart, Tang Niu gazed at the battle-damaged version of the Cloud Village in the distance, and resolutely set off towards the Cloud Village.

He was actually lying. In normal times, or even during wartime, a messenger's life would be guaranteed.

However, the Cloud Ninja, who had clearly been attacked, were now like mad dogs, biting anyone they could get their hands on!

"Who goes there!" Not long after, along with the voice came more than a dozen kunai!

Fortunately, Tang Niu had some training. He was unwilling to be ordinary and always wanted to climb higher. Not long ago, he gloriously stepped into the threshold of becoming a special Jonin.

"Konoha Special Jonin—Tang Niu! This time, as a Konoha messenger, I'm responsible for delivering a letter to your Raikage on behalf of the great Hokage!" Tang Niu arrogantly crossed his arms, glanced disdainfully at the Cloud Ninja around him, and then began to mock, "Is this how you treat your guests?!"

"Messenger? Just you?!" A Cloud Ninja looked Tang Niu up and down, as if considering where to start.

"Of course not, but seeing the state of your Cloud Village, I sent them all back!" Tang Niu unleashed his ultimate move right in front of them, maximizing his taunt.
