Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 134 Two vs. Three

"Lord Tsuchidai, something terrible has happened! A large number of Kirigakure ninja have been discovered invading the coast, numbering at least a thousand, and many patrolling ninja have lost contact."

After a Cloud Ninja entered the house, he quickly reported the bad news to Tsuchida and Azabu.

"Not only that, those Hidden Mist Villages also drove away civilians from many towns, and some nobles from the Land of Lightning who were unwilling to move have been killed. The news will probably reach the capital soon."

"What!?"

Tsuchitai was taken aback upon hearing this, then slammed his fist on the table in anger and asked, "Why would Kirigakure attack us? Where did they get the guts?"

Before he could finish speaking, Tsuchitai remembered what happened in Kirigakure last time. Could Kirigakure really form an alliance with Konoha even though almost all of Konoha's envoys were wiped out?

"What should we do now?"

Mabui asked in a flustered manner. She was also a little flustered. Although it was not the first time that Kumogakure had faced an attack from two ninja villages, being attacked by two ninja villages at the same time had indeed left the Kumogakure, who were used to winning, at a loss.

Soon, intelligence began to arrive one after another, and Mabui and Tsuchida were able to learn about the movements of Kirigakure.

Bang!

Tsuchikage, seemingly possessed by the Fourth Raikage, slammed his fist on the table in fury, shouting, "Those bastards from Kirigakure are coming straight for my Kumogakure! The civilians they've been driving away have all come from towns along Kumogakure's route. Now they've only left the towns near Kumogakure to be driven away. Are they planning to make us drive away the civilians ourselves?!"

Kirigakure did not approach the towns near Kumogakure, as Kumogakure reinforcements would arrive too quickly, and without backup, they might not be able to escape.

However, Kirigakure clearly intends to place the battlefield near Kumogakure. If they are left alive, the mobility and destructive power of the ninjas will definitely affect the civilians who have not moved away.

"Immediately send men to persuade the civilians in nearby towns to leave this area!"

Upon hearing this, Mabui said worriedly, "But what if the Daimyo finds out?"

"If they don't leave soon, they won't even have a chance to live. Kirigakure doesn't care about the lives of civilians in the Land of Lightning, and they'd be happy if the nearby civilians didn't move away, because that would be restricting our movements!"

Tu Tai decisively said that although this would attract a lot of ill-intentioned civilians to hurl insults, it was better for them to live than for large numbers of people to die.

After receiving Tsuchikage's order, the Cloud Ninja in Kumogakure immediately sprang into action. Tsuchikage also informed the Fourth Raikage about the situation in the rear, but told A not to worry and that the best option was to defeat Hakukumo Yosuke on the front lines as soon as possible.

The following day, the scout ninja from Kirigakure reported the intelligence they had gathered to Mei Terumi.

After hearing this, Mei Terumi chuckled at Orochimaru and said, "Just as you said, Orochimaru-san, the Cloud Ninja really did drive them away themselves, which has truly cleared a battlefield for us."

But why do that? With those civilians from the Land of Lightning around, it's the Cloud Ninja who should be hesitant to act.

It wasn't just Mei Terumi; many Kirigakure Jonin were inclined to attack immediately, believing that with civilians from the Land of Lightning present, they could act with impunity.

"This is Yosuke's idea. He values ​​any resource, probably because he doesn't want to waste it. He wants to preserve people and make them hate Kumogakure, which will benefit Konoha's rule in the future."

Orochimaru said with a smile, "Yosuke-kun always thinks things through for a long time, and this time he's absolutely confident of victory."

If Hiruzen Sarutobi had been willing to back down during the last Shinobi World War, Konoha wouldn't have wasted two years of mission assignments, allowing the Iwa ninja to reap the benefits.

"Let's hope so. Since we're attacking the Hidden Cloud Village, let's take on the first wave of the offensive."

Orochimaru laughed, "Of course, but the Hidden Cloud Village is high in the mountains. What are your thoughts, Mizukage?"

"Don't worry, even on high mountains there are depressions. Wherever people can survive, there will be water."

After the decision was made, the Kirigakure army, under the command of Mei Terumi, quickly headed towards Kumogakure. The fact that the two thousand Kirigakure ninjas were traveling without concealing their identities was quickly discovered by Tsuchida, who then assembled the Kumogakure army to prepare for the Kirigakure army.

After gathering several thousand Cloud Ninja, Tsuchida entrusted the affairs of the village to Mabui, while he led the Cloud Ninja army out of the village to confront Kirigakure.

They've already been driven into the Land of Lightning; if they're driven back to the village entrance, the Hidden Cloud Village will truly lose all face.

Soon, the ninja armies of the two villages collided. Due to the haste, the Cloud Ninja group had almost no preparations, including finding a camp, setting traps, or devising tactics, except for a secret weapon.

Tsuchitai knew that doing this would be a huge loss, but in order to prevent Kirigakure from reaching the gates of Kumogakure and to drive them out as soon as possible, he had no choice but to act so hastily.

With only superior numbers, facing this situation, Tsuchida took a deep breath and thought to himself: The only way to defeat Kirigakure in one fell swoop is through sheer numbers and a surprise attack by elite squads.

Even though they are only one kilometer apart, the sensory ninja can clearly sense the number of chakra units in the other party.

Mei Terumi gave the first order: "Ao, release all the seawater immediately!"

"Yes, Lord Mizukage!"

Upon hearing this, Qing waved his hand and gave the order to the preparation squad. Soon after, twenty Mist Shadow Squads, a total of eighty people, quickly arrived at the front of the formation. Each of them carried two huge storage scrolls on their backs.

This involved not only using up all of Konoha's storage scrolls, but also borrowing storage scrolls from Sunagakure for Kirigakure, all to create a favorable environment for Kirigakure ninja when facing Kumogakure.

"put!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Eighty people simultaneously opened their storage scrolls, and then a torrent of seawater was released from the scrolls, rushing towards Kumogakure under the control of the Kirigakure ninja.

"Lord Tsuchidai! Those bastards from Kirigakure have released a huge amount of seawater!"

"Where are the Earth Release ninjas? Earth Release ninjas, move forward to defend immediately, hurry!"

Rumble!!

The surging seawater instantly submerged

Despite taking some precautions, Tsuchitai felt increasingly uneasy. Kirigakure had come prepared this time, and they had been too hasty in their response.

"Lord Tsuchida, someone's charging towards us! It looks like the Third Raikage?"

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Tsuchida was taken aback, then immediately jumped onto the Earth Release platform in front of him. He then saw a familiar figure, surrounded by intense Lightning Release chakra, rushing towards them at high speed.

"Is it really the Third Raikage? Could it be Konoha's Impure World Reincarnation technique!?"

Tsuchikage said with a shocked expression that besides the Third Raikage, there were two other figures next to him. One was the previous Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Brubi, and the other was someone Tsuchikage didn't recognize, but who should be an Iwa ninja.

"Tsuchikage, be careful! There's another Second Tsuchikage in mid-air. He's planning to attack. And those are reanimated Konoha ninja!"

The Third Raikage shouted a reminder, but as he spoke, he also extended his arm with three fingers, holding it up in front of him.

"Three-handed strike."

Upon seeing the Third Raikage's attack, Tsuchikage muttered something, but the next second, he felt a strong sense of danger coming from the sky; without thinking, he instantly dodged and shouted a warning.

"Enemies in the sky, sensed by ninjas."

boom!

Before Tsuchikage could finish speaking, the Second Tsuchikage appeared above the Cloud Ninja, gathered his hands together to form a cone of white chakra, and quickly used Dust Release: Particle Style Technique on the Cloud Ninja.

"Watch out!!"

Boom boom boom!!!

Tsuchikage's warning came too late. Although Dust Release takes a relatively long time to condense, it can be released very quickly. Once he dodged, it would be difficult for the other Cloud Ninja to dodge.

Wherever the white chakra beam touched, everything vanished instantly into the ninja world as if disintegrated into particles; many Cloud Ninja were only grazed by the beam, and that part of their bodies would disappear, leaving only half of their bodies lying on the ground groaning.

"Damn it, Lava Release: Protective Barrier!"

After dodging the Second Tsuchikage, Tsuchikage immediately used ninjutsu to reinforce the remaining earth-style walls. As the Third Raikage's right-hand man, he was naturally very clear about the Third Raikage's strength.

An invincible ninja who can charge forward without being stopped, possessing the strongest shield and the strongest spear, could only exhaust the Third Raikage to death even if there were tens of thousands of Iwa ninja.

"Earth Release and ninjas who can interfere with ninjutsu, join me in stopping the Third Raikage and Brubi. Camoi, you take some people to interfere with the Second Tsuchikage. Dust Release cannot be used to become invisible, so use sensory ninjutsu to find the Second Tsuchikage."

Rumble!

While speaking on the earthen platform, the Third Raikage had already broken through layers of earthen walls and Lava Release protection, slaughtering the Cloud Ninja. While killing the Cloud Ninja, he also relayed his information to the Cloud Ninja, instructing them to take targeted action.

However, it would be difficult for the Cloud Ninja to do this. Even if they were told of the Cloud Ninja's weakness, they would not have a powerful Wind Release ninjutsu that could break through the Third Raikage's Lightning Release chakra.

"What a powerful forbidden technique! The forbidden technique developed by the Second Hokage is truly amazing. In my opinion, these four Edo Tensei ninja alone could easily take down this army of several thousand Cloud Ninja."

Mei Terumi spoke with a slightly grave tone, feeling somewhat relieved that Kirigakure and Konoha were not enemies; Konoha's foundation was too deep, even the Third Raikage and the Second Tsuchikage could be resurrected using Edo Tensei. She even suspected that if Kirigakure and Konoha hadn't been allies, Orochimaru would have resurrected the former Mizukage as well.

"While it's possible, it would be very slow, and the Impure World Reincarnation technique isn't perfect yet. If I lose control, the impure body could break free."

Orochimaru shook his head and said that in order to make the Impure World Body exert greater power, he did not completely destroy its consciousness, but only strengthened the restraints; however, although this could enhance the Impure World Body's strength, the drawbacks were also obvious.

He himself was unable to participate in the battle, and the impure body could also communicate with the enemy, exposing his weaknesses; however, after much consideration, Orochimaru still chose this option, otherwise the weakened Third Raikage might have been suppressed by hundreds of ninjas.

"It's your turn now, Lord Mizukage."

Orochimaru chuckled in a hoarse voice, reminding them, "The Cloud Ninja's formation is already in disarray. Don't worry about the Edo Tensei; just attack."

"Of course, that's exactly what we're planning."

After Mei Terumi finished speaking, she waved to Ao.

Upon receiving the order, Ao quickly commanded thirty Kirigakure Jonin to run towards Kumogakure while simultaneously gathering chakra and forming hand seals. They planned to take advantage of the terrain and use the same ninjutsu to unleash a devastating wave!

Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique

--------------

"Yosuke-sama!"

An ANBU suddenly appeared in front of Shirakumo Yosuke and quickly reported, "The Kumo ninja are almost at the Sugi Forest, only about five kilometers away. Moreover, the sensory ninja detected three extremely terrifying chakra. They could be the Kumo ninja's Jinchuriki and the Fourth Raikage."

"How many people are there?"

"I don't know. The Cloud Ninja also sent a reconnaissance team. We didn't have time to investigate thoroughly before we engaged them in battle. And later, as more and more Cloud Ninjas came, we had to withdraw."

Upon hearing this, Shirakumo Yosuke turned his head to look at Shirakumo Hayama beside him and said, "Then I'll leave the command of the team to you, Shirakumo Jonin. You're familiar with the characteristics of the Scientific Ninja Tool Squad. As for the Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, I'll take care of that."

This was agreed upon in advance. Someone had to handle the Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, and no one else in the entire camp was suitable except for him. Moreover, Shirakumo Yosuke was also reassured by Shirakumo Hayama's strength. His strength was no less than Kakashi's, and he even had two experiences in command.

"I understand. Konoha won't collapse before you return. We'll definitely win!"

Baiyun Yeshan spoke calmly and confidently.

"Yes, I beg you, after this battle, we will bring lasting peace!"

After finishing his sentence, Shirokumo Yosuke left the Konoha camp.

He was going to another place to lure the two Jinchūriki of the Cloud Ninja; if the Cloud Ninja did not react, he would release a series of Tailed Beast Balls at the Cloud Ninja camp from there.

The Konoha camp has made preparations to deal with the Tailed Beast Ball. Although it cannot completely prevent it, it can minimize casualties. If the Cloud Ninja intends to exchange their lives, then they will definitely suffer a loss.

Soon, Shiraku Yosuke used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive at a mountain village more than ten kilometers away.

"Kushina, you will control the Nine-Tails transformation. I will also give you most of the purified Nine-Tails chakra. Then, capture a Jinchuriki as quickly as possible. If two Jinchuriki come, take one each. If three..."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yunyoujie continued to say to Kushina, "Then I'll have to hold on for a while. I'll come and help you after I kill the Fourth Raikage."

"Huh? You're giving me most of them?"

Kushina quickly asked, "Then what will you do? Without the Nine-Tails' chakra, your chakra is only slightly more than that of an ordinary Jonin."

"I still have Sage Mode, and I've also saved some Nine-Tails chakra. Even in a fierce battle, I should be able to last about half an hour. So, it all depends on whether you can capture the opponent's Jinchuriki as soon as possible to help me."

After Baiyun Yangjie finished speaking, a powerful burst of tailed beast chakra suddenly erupted from his body. The chakra aura directly cracked the surrounding ground, and even giant trees dozens of meters away were almost blown away by this powerful aura.

This is a challenge!

Among the Cloud Ninja's group, Killer Bee and Yugito immediately sensed the powerful Nine-Tails chakra and looked in the direction of Yosuke Shirakumo almost simultaneously.

Killer Bee then quickly said to the Fourth Raikage, "Big brother, Yosuke Shirakumo is in that direction, he has very strong Nine-Tails chakra."

"That direction? But the Konoha ninja are on the other side. That bastard, it seems he wants you to go and fight him. It seems he doesn't want the power of the tailed beasts to affect the battlefield."

The Fourth Raikage quickly realized Yosuke Shirakumo's intentions.

"Big brother, I'm coming over. You and Yugito should quickly defeat the Konoha ninja."

Before Killer Bee could finish speaking, the Fourth Raikage interrupted, "Idiot, you're no match for him alone. His chakra is so powerful, even I can sense it now. The Nine-Tails of Konoha is probably inside him. How could you possibly be a match for him alone!"

After hearing what the Fourth Raikage said, the Gyūki inside Killer Bee also told him that the Nine-Tails' chakra inside Yūsuke Shirakumo was extremely powerful, and there was an 80% chance that the Nine-Tails was inside Yūsuke Shirakumo's body.

"Where exactly is that bastard located?"

"Lord Raikage is about fifteen kilometers to the southeast!"

The sensory ninja quickly reported to the Fourth Raikage.

"You, me, and Yugito go together. We have to kill that bastard this time. If he tries to escape using the Flying Thunder God Technique, you two immediately transform into your Tailed Beast forms and unleash a Tailed Beast Ball at the Konoha camp!"

The Fourth Raikage said fiercely, "This time, I must kill Yosuke Shirakumo!"
