Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

Ai stood in front of the Third Raikage, activating his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to its maximum.

Lu did not make another move.

"Ai, your Hidden Cloud Village has already lost. Behave yourself as prisoners and come back to Konoha with me. I don't think the Hokage will kill you." Shikatoki's voice was calm.

Ai's expression was unpredictable, sometimes calm, sometimes angry.

He wanted to protect the honor of Kumogakure.

But with his injured partner and father behind him, it seemed that Lu Shi's suggestion was the best outcome.

The Third Raikage struggled to his feet and examined his back. Although there were no injuries, the stinging pain in his body was undeniable.

"You won when it came to the Nara deer."

The Third Raikage's tone was somewhat resentful, and his expression as he looked at Shika was complicated. "He's already grown to this level?"

"A wise decision."

Shikatoshi walks towards the Third Raikage.

"Be careful, deer!"

A figure suddenly appeared in Zhu Yin's premonition of the future, and she immediately alerted Lu Shi.

Lu Shi naturally believed Zhu Yin.

Without hesitation, he switched places with the Shadow Warrior, but the Shadow Warrior's target was not Deer Shi at all.

Without hesitation, the newcomer quickly formed hand seals.

"Ninja Art: Heavenly Delivery Technique!"

The Third Raikage and A were delighted to see who had arrived, activating their Lightning Release Chakra Mode and simultaneously covering Troy and Burubi.

In just a moment, the Third Raikage and the others all disappeared.

However, at the same time, a dark figure merged into the shadow of the Third Raikage.

"They ran away?" Zhu Yin was speechless.

Lu Shi remained calm, "It seems so, but it doesn't matter. So what if they run away? The Hidden Cloud Village can't cause any trouble now."

"I didn't expect that Kumogakure also had space-time ninjutsu." Kurama was rather curious.

"I think it's called the Heavenly Delivery Technique," Lu Shi remembered that was the name. "But what I'm more curious about is how the person who used it managed to evade my senses."

Nine Lamas was taken aback.

Yes! How did that person manage to dodge it?

"It might be a special secret technique! There are plenty of strange ninjutsu in the ninja world," Kurama said uncertainly.

Lu Shi shook his head. "When she appeared, her aura was too obvious. Someone probably helped her. But it doesn't matter. The crisis in Kumogakure is over. Let's go back and rest."

"Let's go! This old man hasn't had a decent meal in ages!"

Nine-Lama was the most eager to leave, while Wu was still absorbing the negative emotions from the battlefield and was somewhat reluctant to go.

Seeing this, Lu Shi simply decided to keep Wu behind.

"Once you've absorbed it all, go straight back to the Chest of Bliss."

"Thank you, Lord Lu Shi."

Lu Shi and his group arrived at their temporary camp.

Orochimaru walked out, leaning on his cane. "Shikatoki-kun, that was a beautiful battle."

"You saw it?"

"Yes, I'll be watching from a distance. If anything unexpected happens, I can lend a hand." Orochimaru didn't deny it.

Orochimaru was still somewhat worried about the fact that there were fewer of them against more.

However, after witnessing Shikatoki's methods, Orochimaru could only sigh that Nara Shikatoki had surpassed him.

"You should rest more; you're covered in injuries."

"The crisis in Kumogakure isn't over yet, it's probably not going to be that easy." Orochimaru looked in the direction of Kumogakure.

Lu Shi smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry, the price for using the Heavenly Delivery Technique is not low. There won't be any unusual activity from Kumogakure in the short term."

"I hope so."

The situation on the Cloud Hidden battlefield has stabilized.

Black Zetsu appeared in an unnamed cave on the other side.

"Lord Madara, those barbarians from Kumogakure have already fled, and Nara Shikatoki is even stronger!" Black Zetsu watched the entire battle.

Nara Shikatoki was able to fight Uchiha Madara to such an extent, so his strength is beyond doubt.

What truly terrified Black Zetsu were Kurama and Akane.

It seems that the Nine Lamas has developed new, unknown abilities.

Zhu Yin's ability is more sinister.

Predict the future and pause time!

See for yourself if it's correct!

The Nara Shika family is incredibly cunning.

"Yes, the Cloud Village can't withdraw from the battlefield so quickly. The Third Shinobi World War isn't chaotic enough yet!" Madara Uchiha said coldly. "Also, find a way to get me that Shadowless Technique you mentioned."

"Nara Shikatoki, that strange shadow ninjutsu, actually has some skill."

Speaking of this, Madara Uchiha felt a little pain in his heart.

"Yes!" Black Zetsu nodded in agreement, then continued, "What about Nara Shikato? His strength has completely disrupted the balance."

"Send him away, just like Minato Namikaze. If we can't kill him, at least let him miss the Third Shinobi World War!"

"Understood, I'll find an opportunity."

Black Zetsu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Over in Sunagakure, White Zetsu's surveillance of Konoha has completely failed. Through probing, it seems to be due to Tsunade."

"Hashirama's granddaughter?"

"That's right."

Madara Uchiha thought for a moment, "Don't worry about that. Those Sand Village ninja are useless. They don't even know how their own Kage died. They're not going to amount to much. As long as they can hold off Konoha for a while, that's enough."

"The main question is, how's Obito Uchiha doing?"

"Obito Uchiha has graduated and formed a team with Kakashi Hatake and Rin Nohara. The current team leader is a temporary Jonin named Makoto Yama. Konoha has begun to send these Genin to the battlefield gradually due to the shortage of troops."

"However, Obito Uchiha's team might not be so quick, after all..."

Black Zetsu didn't finish speaking, but Madara Uchiha understood.

Let's forget about that girl named Nohara Rin.

However, both Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha have powerful families behind them, and they wouldn't easily send their children to the battlefield.

"The pressure isn't enough; go and add fuel to the fire."

"yes!"

at the same time.

In the plaza of Kumogakure, in the Land of Lightning.

The Third Raikage and others appeared here.

Each one of them was in a very miserable state.

"Quickly! Medical ninjas, save them!"

The medical ninja, who had been prepared in advance, quickly stepped forward.

The art of teleportation is essentially about instantly moving a target to a designated location at high speed.

Due to the extremely high teleportation speed, the intense friction with the air generates a huge overload, which an ordinary ninja's body cannot withstand, resulting in tearing.

This ninjutsu was originally designed for the purpose of transporting supplies.

Both the Third Raikage and A possess Lightning Release Chakra Modes, so they are in relatively good condition.

Ai only suffered minor injuries.

The Third Raikage's main injury was from Shikatoki's soul attack.

However, the medical ninjas of Kumogakure couldn't detect this kind of injury at all.

"Lord Raikage, are you really injured?"

Seeing the medical ninja's puzzled look, the Third Raikage sighed, "Don't worry about me, go and help rescue Troy, Brubi, and Ryu."

Liuyi is the one who performs the Heavenly Gift Technique.

These three don't seem to be in good shape.

Although the Third Raikage and A used Lightning Release Chakra Mode to share the pressure of the Heavenly Delivery Technique.

But the injuries are still very serious.

Brubi was already seriously injured, and now both of his legs are broken. If it weren't for the Eight-Tailed Gyukiki constantly repairing Brubi's body, he would probably have died there.

Troy and Ryu didn't have any tailed beasts to help them.

Almost all of their bones were shattered, and their internal organs also suffered varying degrees of bleeding.

Forget about fighting in the short term.

He can only rest in bed now.

"Dad, what do we do now?" Ai asked, somewhat unwillingly.

The Third Raikage never expected that his seemingly invincible situation would be ruined by the appearance of Shikatoki Nara.

But now is not the time for regrets.

We must stabilize the situation.

"Spread the news about Nara Shikatoshi, including Akane, Kurama, and that monster named Satoru. Send out all the information! Also, spread the news of our defeat."

The Third Raikage's words puzzled A. "Why? If the other ninja villages knew we were defeated, wouldn't they target us? Especially Iwagakure!"

"It doesn't matter! This matter couldn't be kept secret anyway; it was only a matter of time before it got out. But as long as Nara Shikatoki is around, the other ninja villages won't dare to act rashly! After all, everyone has declared war on Konoha!"

The Third Raikage had thought it through very clearly.

The goal was to make other ninja villages wary of Nara Shikatoki.

With everyone hesitant to act rashly, this is the best time for Kumogakure to recuperate and rebuild.

"clear."

Konoha Village.

Danzo Shimura rushed into Hiruzen Sarutobi's office in a disheveled state.

The moment Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Danzo, his heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, the next second, Shimura Danzo shouted, "Kumakuha is advancing like a whirlwind! Orochimaru, stay behind to cover our retreat! I'm bringing men back to inform them to immediately organize ninjas to hold off the Third Raikage, or Konoha will be in trouble!"
