Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 312 Akatsuki vs. Kumogakure

Chapter 312 Akatsuki vs. Kumogakure (Revised)

The Hidden Cloud Village had, of course, been gathering information about the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

But didn't the intelligence say that this guy had already defected from Kirigakure?

"Now that you've become a rogue ninja, why are you still risking your life for Kirigakure?!"

Juzo Biwa sneered, revealing sharp teeth just like Kisame's.

"Who says rogue ninja can't take on missions? I'm paid to do my job."

"As long as the money's right, I'll cut down not only Kumogakure, but even the Daimyo!"

Then, Juzo Biwa swung his large sword at the Cloud Village group.

Carlo parried with his ninja sword, while also being puzzled by Juzo Biwa's actions.

Paying money to do something? Hiring mercenaries?

At that moment, his gaze fell on the red-cloud-patterned black robe worn by Pipa Juzo.

This garment —

Karoi immediately recalled that during the battle between Lord Killer Bee and Omoi, they had encountered two extremely powerful enemies.

The two people were also wearing the same clothes.

"You're from the same organization!"

Carlos realized what was happening too.

They immediately realized something was wrong. What kind of organization was this that had so many powerful rogue ninjas in it?

Such powerful individuals would be leaders even in ordinary small ninja villages, yet they have all joined the same organization.

Something is wrong!

This intelligence must be transmitted back to headquarters immediately!

Just as Carlos reached for the signal flare at his waist, a sharp gust of wind swept towards him.

So fast!

Carlo was terrified.

clang!

Sparks flew everywhere.

"It's too late to send a signal now!"

Pipa Juzo brandished his large sword and continued his attack.

Carlo couldn't understand how such a large knife could be wielded so skillfully.

"Hahaha! Too weak! Too weak!"

Pipa Juzo laughed heartily.

Carlo felt a tremendous force coming from the ninja sword, his tiger's mouth split open, and he was sent flying backward by the blow.

Meanwhile, another battlefield on the island.

boom!

The lightning from the Radiant Eye exploded, instantly dispelling the surrounding mist.

Darui stared intently ahead with a solemn expression.

Opposite him lay a strangely shaped monster.

It was Hiruko, controlled by Sasori.

"What a troublesome guy—"

Darui also noticed the red cloud pattern on the black robe worn by Hiruko.

"These clothes again. What kind of organization is this? How did they manage to gather so many powerful rogue ninjas?"

"Storm Release?"

"This kind of laser that can be freely controlled in direction is indeed quite interesting."

Hiruko squinted, sizing up her opponent.

Sasori didn't really think much of this kind of pure ninjutsu-type bloodline limit.

His target this time was actually the Bamboo Clan, whose bones were said to be very hard, making them perfect for his puppetry art.

"But since I've come across it, I'll reluctantly accept it. It'll be a good addition to my puppet collection."

Upon hearing that the other party would turn people into puppets, Darui's eyes instantly turned cold.

"To turn people into puppets, they really are rogue ninja!"

Darui clasped his hands together.

"Storm Release: Resilience and Determination!"

Several laser beams shot towards Fei Liu Hu from all directions, attempting to annihilate him.

"it's useless!"

Scorpion snorted coldly, its huge steel tail waving.

Bang bang bang!

The outer shell of Hiruko is extremely hard, and even if a laser misses and hits it, it does not cause any damage.

"So hard! Is this thing a puppet too?"

Darui's expression turned serious as he drew the ninja sword from his back.

"Lightning Release: Black Spotted Blade!"

Black lightning directly adhered to Darui's ninja sword.

Scorpion: "Oh?! Are you going to go all out?"

At the same time that Scorpion and Darui were engaged in fierce battle.

On the other side of the island, at the rear supply depot of the Hidden Clouds.

Deidara stood on a branch of a large tree, looking at the camp ahead.

"The organization's intelligence is indeed accurate."

Deidara's lips curled into a playful smile.

The organization must have planted spies within the Hidden Cloud Village, otherwise how could they know so much about the Hidden Cloud Village's troop deployment and the location of its supplies?

However, this was also good, as it saved him a lot of trouble and made the mission exceptionally easy.

Deidara reached into the two ninja tool pouches hanging from his waist, and the two mouths in his palms opened and chewed on the clay inside.

Soon, a large number of lifelike small clay spiders appeared in his palm.

"Go on, my little darling!"

Deidara casually tossed his hand.

A large number of clay spiders fell to the ground and then silently crawled toward the Cloud Hidden's supply warehouse.

Soon, from Yunyin's perspective, the camp was covered with small white spiders.

"Then————"

Deidara stood on the tree trunk, forming a hand seal with one hand.

"Art is an explosion, drink!"

Rumble!!!

Blinding flames shot into the sky, and the large amount of supplies that Yunyin had painstakingly transported turned into a sea of fire!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"The supply depot has been bombed! Help put out the fire!"

The entire Cloud Hidden stronghold was instantly thrown into chaos.

"Over there! There's someone in the tree!"

The ninja with sensory abilities reacted extremely quickly and immediately located Deidara's position.

"Wow, that's a pretty quick reaction, but it doesn't matter anyway."

Deidara chuckled and tossed out a large clump of clay.

boom!

As the white smoke dissipated, a massive C2 dragon appeared on the ground.

Deidara leaped into the air, landing firmly on the dragon's back.

"Another flying ninja."

"Trying to run? Not so easy!"

"Everyone, don't panic! Summon any flying summons you have immediately!"

A Cloud Village Jonin gave a loud command.

Having learned a lesson from Yekura, Kumogakure has also made preparations for air defense.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Pillar!"

Several Cloud Village ninjas simultaneously formed hand seals, and blinding lightning erupted instantly.

The sudden burst of bright light caught Deidara off guard, blinding him completely.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, some of the Cloud Village ninjas summoned ninja hawks to interfere with Deidara.

"Tch, he actually had this trick up his sleeve. What a troublesome fellow."

Deidara then threw out several clay birds.

Boom boom boom!

Several flying spirit beasts were blasted into clouds of blood mist.

Seeing their summoned beasts blown up caused many Cloud Villagers to feel heartbroken.

Deidara, who had suffered a loss, wasn't about to let it go, and scattered a large number of clay spiders.

These spiders fell into the Cloud Village ninja below, triggering another series of explosions that sent Cloud Village ninja flying and falling.

"Damn bastard! Don't be so arrogant!"

Just then, a ball of blue flame suddenly rose up, and a giant cat demon burning with blue flames burst out of the flames.

"It's Lord Omoi!"

"Great! Lord Omoi has made his move!"

The remaining Cloud Village ninjas erupted in cheers, their morale soaring.

"Oh? A Jinchūriki? This is getting interesting."

Deidara looked at the Jinchuriki who had fully transformed into a Tailed Beast, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

What's the point of frying some miscellaneous fish? It's a good opportunity for the Jinchūriki to try out his new art.

The two-tailed dragon opened its massive mouth and spewed out a blue fireball at him, which the clay dragon easily dodged.

However, the Two-Tails' attack did not end there.

It opened its mouth again and spewed out dozens of rat-shaped blue flames.

"They're even tracking us?"

Deidara maneuvered the dragon to dodge, but the rat-shaped flames seemed to have eyes, relentlessly biting and refusing to let go.

Boom!

A fire rat jewel struck the clay dragon, and the massive explosion blew off the dragon's wing.

The dragon lost its balance and, carrying Deidara, plummeted toward the ground.

"Tch, I was careless."

Deidara did a somersault in mid-air and flung out another ball of clay.

boom!

The giant clay bird appeared and caught Deidara steadily, then soared up again at an extremely fast speed, flying to a height where the Two-Tailed Beast could not attack.

"Hey, big cat, you've got quite a temper!"

Deidara stood on the back of the giant bird, his eyes filled with excitement.

He put his hands into the clay bag, and soon a clay figure in the shape of a doll appeared in his hands.

It is Deidara's masterpiece, C3 No. 18!

"Let me show you my most prized art!"

Deidara laughed loudly and threw the clay figure in his hand down.

The doll rapidly expanded as it fell, transforming into a gigantic doll in the blink of an eye.

When the ninja with sensory perception sensed the chakra within the puppet, his expression changed drastically, and even his voice became altered.

"Quick! Get hidden!"

Deidara grinned.

One-handed hand seal.

"Art is an explosion!"

"drink!!"

boom!!!

A huge mushroom cloud rose.

Click!

The outer shell of Hiruko shattered completely.

Darui leaped back, watching the center of the smoke warily.

"Was it broken?"

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

A handsome young man, also dressed in a red cloud-patterned black robe, stood quietly in place.

"Is he the puppeteer himself?"

Darui was somewhat surprised. "So young!"

"It actually managed to break through my Hiruko-kun's defenses—"

Scorpion slightly moved his neck, turned his head to look at Darui, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Pretty capable, a ninja from Kumogakure."

"As a reward—"

Scorpion slowly pulled a scroll from his waist and unrolled it.

"Let me show you my most prized work of art."

boom!

The white smoke dissipated.

A humanoid puppet floating in mid-air appeared beside Scorpion.

rustling sound —

A large amount of black iron sand poured out of the mouth of the Third Kazekage puppet and scattered in mid-air.

"Is this magnetic escape?"

A bead of cold sweat slid down Darui's forehead.

"Could this thing actually have been made by a person?"

Just as Darui was speculating about the puppet's origin, a massive explosion came from afar, and even from a distance, the sheer force of the blast could be felt.

That direction, damn it!

"Hahaha! So beautiful! It's perfect art!"

Deidara looked down at the ruins with great excitement!

"asshole!!!"

Amidst the ruins, Omoi pushed away the boulder pressing down on him, his anger reaching its peak.

"Everyone, watch out! Every time that guy detonates a bomb, he uses earth-style hand seals!"

An experienced Cloud Village Jonin keenly noticed the hand seals Deidara had formed and loudly reminded him.

"Lightning Release! Use Lightning Release to attack that white thing!"

Upon hearing the command, the Cloud Village ninjas immediately changed their tactics.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Net!"

Several ninjas joined forces to weave a giant net of lightning in the air.

The spider clay that Deidara dropped instantly lost its explosive power the moment it touched the lightning web.

"Tch, I was seen through. How annoying."

Deidara pursed his lips.

However, at this moment, due to the explosion of C3, his chakra was almost completely depleted, and the giant bird's speed noticeably slowed down.

"It's time to leave—"

Deidara decisively turned around and steered the giant bird away from the battlefield.

"Oh no, he's getting away!"

"Don't let him get away!"

Just then, a figure rushed over quickly; it was Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails.

Killer Bee leaped high into the air from the rocks, then drew the short blade from his back and shot it directly at Deidara, hitting one of the clay birds' wings.

The short sword crackled with lightning, and the giant bird lost its balance, plummeting towards the ground.

"Damn it!"

Deidara cursed under his breath and quickly reached his hand back into the clay bag.

"Omoi!"

Kirabi shouted.

Omoi once again transforms into a fully-formed tailed beast.

Instead, the two tails opened their mouths wide, and the Tailed Beast Ball quickly took shape!

"Go to hell! You bastard!"

Omoi roared.

He launched the Tailed Beast Ball in the direction Deidara fell.

Rumble!!!

A huge mushroom cloud rose again.

After a long while, the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, and another huge crater appeared on the ground.

Omoi, panting heavily, exited his tailed beast form.

Just then, the Fourth Raikage arrived at breakneck speed and landed heavily on the ruins.

Looking at the stronghold that had been razed to the ground, the Raikage's forehead veins bulged and his eyes blazed with fury.

"Damn it!!! What on earth happened?! Who did this?!"

However, when faced with the Raikage's questioning, the surviving Cloud Village ninjas all lowered their heads, and no one could utter a word.

Omoi, with tears in his eyes, was too ashamed to speak.

Although the enemy was defeated, the group did not experience any joy of victory.

Because the cost is too high.

Just one person!

The enemy consisted of only one person from beginning to end!

On the Cloud Village side, over two hundred ninjas were killed, and countless others were wounded.

Even more devastatingly, the entire logistics outpost was completely razed to the ground, and all logistical supplies were reduced to ashes.

What if the main force arrives later?

Just then, a figure sped towards them from afar.

The visitor was none other than Darui.

At this moment, Darui also looked somewhat disheveled, clearly having gone through a tough battle.

"Raikage-sama!"

"What's the situation on your end?!"

Lei Ying asked in a deep voice.

Darui quickly recounted the attack he had encountered.

"Red clouds and black robes again!"

Upon hearing that it was this group of people again, the Raikage's face darkened completely.

Subsequently, more and more Cloud Hidden Squads arrived here.

After all, the logistics base had caused such a commotion, with two mushroom clouds rising, it was hard not to notice.

However, as the teams arrived, Raikage's expression grew increasingly grim.

At the same time, multiple squads were attacked simultaneously.

Each of their enemies was incredibly powerful, and they all wore the same red cloud-patterned black robes.

Unexpectedly, such an organization was hidden in the ninja world.

And every single one of these people is an S-rank rogue ninja!

"Good! Very good!"

The Raikage laughed in fury, "No matter what organization you are, daring to attack someone from Kumogakure, I will make you pay the price!"

Despite his anger, the Raikage, as the Kage of the village, did not lose his temper.

"All troops should withdraw their defensive lines, the wounded should be evacuated immediately, and a message should be sent to the village requesting reinforcements and supplies from the rear!"

"yes!"

After half an hour.

The people of Kumogakure finally all withdrew from the ruins.

A while later.

The ground rose slightly, and a head popped out of the soil.

It was Deidara.

He looked around cautiously, and only after confirming that no one was around did he emerge from the mud.

"That was a real mess; I almost died here."

Deidara dusted himself off, looked at the base that had been razed to the ground, and a smug smile returned to his face.

Mission accomplished!

"Alright, it's time to go find Master Scorpion and meet up, or he'll start nagging again—"

Deidara turned around, ready to leave.
