Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 317 The Wind Shadow Slammed Down with a Single Punch

Do you want to dance too?

Despite his expressionless face, Darui could clearly see the contempt in the other person's eyes.

Yes! It's contempt!

Despite being the Fifth Raikage, no one trusts his power.

Compared to adults, I am indeed far inferior...

Even if one is proficient in Water Release and Lightning Release, combining them can still allow one to unleash a bloodline limit ninjutsu like Storm Release.

but……

Compared to the Third and Fourth Raikage, his breakthrough power was still far behind.

In just over three years, it wasn't just others who made progress!

Even at the cost of my own life, there are some things I must do; it is my responsibility as a Shadow...

Storm Release: Resilience and Despair

He instantly stepped back and clasped his hands together.

A beam of light suddenly shot towards Susanoo, piercing through its blue giant blade in one strike, but still stopping before the armor.

"Storm Release, huh? That's interesting."

"But now... I don't have time to keep playing around with you."

Madara Uchiha's voice rang out, and then wings unfurled behind him, instantly taking to the air.

The blade formed from chakra shot directly toward the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

At the same time, the Gyuki inside Killer Bee's body was also suppressed by the power of the Rinnegan.

"Rinnegan? How is that possible? That kind of chakra... he's Uchiha Madara!"

"Is that Uchiha Madara? Is this form an Edo Tensei, or is it that bastard Uchiha Obito again?"

"We absolutely must contact Konoha! Otherwise, no one in the entire Hidden Cloud Village will be able to stand against him!"

"Mabui is already doing it!"

……

Meanwhile, inside the Raikage Building.

A golden light flashed, and Minato Namikaze appeared in front of Mabui.

However, Mabui was not enthusiastic about the Fourth Hokage's support, and her hopeful gaze remained anxiously waiting for something.

Minato sighed: "Sunagakure sent out communication frogs for help almost simultaneously, and Kumo will need a little more time, so for now only I can come."

Upon hearing this, Mabuyi was stunned.

As a secret technique practitioner who has assisted the Fourth Raikage since then, Mabui is well-versed in many political matters.

Compared to Konoha, Sunagakure is indeed more important than Kumogakure. Rumor has it that the Fourth Kazekage's son, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, was rescued by Uchiha Kumo during the last invasion.

Furthermore, the battle between Kumogakure and Konoha nine years ago was in Kumogakure's own fault.

In this situation, Konoha would inevitably have its own choice, and it is not against the rules of the alliance.

"call……"

Exhaling and forcing herself to calm down, Mabui bowed ninety degrees: "It has been confirmed that the one who invaded Kumogakure is the reanimated Uchiha Madara, and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Lady Yugito, has been captured by the enemy."

"Lord Hokage, Obito Uchiha, another black-clad guy, and many more powerful Edo Tensei ninja have yet to appear."

"If they show up, Kumogakure won't be able to hold out!"

"And if Lord Beethoven is also kidnapped, the enemy will possess the power of five tailed beasts!"

Minato frowned slightly: "I understand what you mean, but the situation in Sunagakure is equally urgent. With the wooden puppets controlled by the First Hokage and the Advent of the Flowering Trees technique, the Fourth Kazekage only withstood three attacks."

This even includes the giant tree sweep, so mentioning it three times is already an overstatement of the Fourth Kazekage.

In fact, the information relayed back by the communication frog indicated that with a single punch from the Wood Release: the Fourth Kazekage's golden sand shattered and scattered, and he was knocked unconscious, spitting blood.

If it weren't for Chiyo, who had already retired, using a puppet to pull him back, his body would probably be cold by now.

Mabui clenched her fists tightly; she couldn't persuade Konoha to change the order of the rescue efforts.

Moreover, Uchiha Kumo must have arrived at Sunagakure by now, and with his power, he certainly won't be back for long.

But even this short period of time might not be enough for the Hidden Cloud Village to hold out!

"Lord Hokage."

"Um?"

"We urge the Hokage to abide by the alliance agreement and immediately provide support for the battle between Lord Bee and Lord Raikage."

Looking into the determined eyes before him, Minato sighed again: "My Flying Thunder God Technique is useless against Susanoo's straightforward attacks. If I can control it, my sealing techniques might be effective."

Seeing that Mabui's gaze remained firm, Minato could only teleport to the center of the roaring sound.

There, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was doing his utmost to block Madara Uchiha's attack.

……

Fifteen minutes ago, in Sunagakure Village.

"Once hailed as the God of Shinobi by the entire shinobi world, he has now become a puppet of war."

As Kisame spoke, he raised his greatsword Samehada with one hand and touched the First Hokage's cheek with it.

"So what's the point of such a world? There's no trust, it's filled with hatred and betrayal every moment."

"The Eye of the Moon Plan, as described by Madara Uchiha's will, may be the true power capable of saving this world. Everyone's dreams can be realized, without bloodshed or despair."

"So now... even the former God of Shinobi must obey my orders."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kisame, carrying the resurrected First Hokage, headed straight for Sunagakure.

The two were spotted immediately by the Sand Village ninjas through the narrow passage between the two rock walls.

"stop!"

The shout had barely been uttered when a figure appeared behind him in an instant.

"puff!"

A branch pierced through his chest, and a large pool of blood splattered on the ground.

The First Hokage, under the impure world, had lifeless eyes and had not regained his will, yet he still possessed power that ordinary ninjas could not match.

"Kill them all!"

Under Kisame's control, the reanimated Hashirama Senju made all the guards of Sunagakure feel what true power really is.

Huge trees surged out of the ground with incredible speed and wide-ranging attack, striking everyone simultaneously.

"asshole!"

"It's a Konoha headband, not an Alliance one? Why?"

"Idiot! That's Wood Release! The First Hokage's Wood Release Kekkei, Impure World Reincarnation!"

"Immediately inform Lord Kazekage!"

"Contact Konoha for reinforcements!"

……

Shouts were mixed with screams.

The giant brown tree was soaked in blood, and the Sand Village ninja guarding the place were directly corroded by Wood Release.

"asshole!"

Just as the Sand Village Anbu was about to press the warning button, he was directly cut down by a single sword strike.

Kisame appeared, carrying Samehada, and grinned, revealing his ferocious teeth. He said, "Although I guessed that Konoha would come to Sunagakure first, if I'm wrong, I'm going to bring the One-Tailed Jinchuriki back with me."

Another Sand Village ANBU member held a kunai across his chest: "You bunch of bastards! The Kazekage won't let you get away with this!"

He formed hand seals, and a series of wind blades swept towards Kisame.

However, the next moment, the obvious attack had no effect. Instead, a piece of flesh was ripped from his neck by Samehada, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

"The Kazekage? Without Konoha, what is the entire Sunagakure village worth?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kisame stood up and, together with the Edo Tensei First Hokage, sped towards Sunagakure.

……

Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!

The infinite chakra in the Impure World form directly transformed the sandy hills of Sunagakure into an oasis.

But the countless trees that surge forth from this oasis are deadly trees capable of strangling everyone.

"boom!!"

Gaara blocked a section of tree, and the sand swept up the child on the ground and handed him to Kankuro.

"Take him to the shelter!"

Kankuro nodded and turned to leave. The child who had been rescued mustered his courage and waved to Gaara, saying, "Thank you, Lord Gaara!"

Are you an adult?

Gaara's expressionless face remained devoid of a smile, but deep down he was quite pleased.

Then, the Eye of Sand rose into the air, floating around to search for any remaining villagers who had not yet evacuated.

At this moment, Temari waved her iron fan, and the wind blades shattered a giant tree, but still could not stop it from continuing to grow and surge.

"Gaara, their target is you!"

Gaara nodded: "I know. According to Konoha's intelligence, this is the power of Obito Uchiha's side, who have mastered the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

Gaara turned to Temari and said, "But I can't hide away using the village as a shield, just like back then. I want to protect this village."

After knocking back another section of tree, Temari said with a helpless wry smile, "Let's hold on until Uchiha Kumo arrives. This time, with Father here, they won't succeed so easily!"

At this moment, Shukaku's gaze also held a hint of worry at the sealed area on Gaara's abdomen.

I visited it several years ago, and that was the closest it came to death in thousands of years.

Since being created by the Sage of Six Paths, the Tailed Beasts have never had the fear of death. Only when they are fused into the Ten-Tails do their will truly perish.

"Kid, your father, the Fourth Kazekage, that idiot traitor, can't beat you. Borrow my power, escape from here, and hold out until Boss Yun arrives, then you'll be fine!"

Gaara shook his head slightly upon hearing this: "I won't run away. You should know about Shukaku."

Just then, in front of the Fengying Building, a huge wooden figure, as large as a god, rose from the ground.

"Don't underestimate me, the Fourth Kazekage!!"

The gold dust gathered and took shape, then, like a drill, it attacked the wooden figure directly.

However, a punch landed...

"boom!!"

The golden sand, as vast as the ocean, was shattered by the wooden figure's punch. This same punch had even managed to push back the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.

He's just the Fourth Kazekage, how could he possibly withstand an attack that's like that of a god or giant?

Under the pressure of the wind, Luo Sha, which was originally floating in mid-air with golden sand, was directly punched into the Fengying Building.

Kisame glanced at them, a mocking smile appearing on his face: "I knew you were weak, but to this extent is truly unexpected. Although I couldn't block this attack either."

The towering wooden figure swung its fist again, punching the now-ruined Wind Shadow Building.

"Boom boom boom..."

The earth cracked; ordinary ninjutsu had no effect on such power!

at the same time……

A gust of wind swept towards Gaara in an instant, and the sand instantly formed a shield, but it still couldn't withstand the power of this attack.

"boom!"

Gaara struggled out of the ruins, and Temari helped him up, her iron fan already pointed at the guy in front of her.

Kisame, carrying the greatsword Samehada, said, "This is quite a useful ability; it can even outrun me. But you won't be so lucky next time."

In the sealed land, Shukaku roared, "Your traitorous father couldn't even withstand a single punch! If you really want to protect these humans, then quickly lure them away!"

"Otherwise, if we continue fighting, Sunagakure will completely crumble and sink into the underground desert! You have Uchiha Kumo's Flying Thunder God Technique seal on you; as long as we stall until he arrives, we can be safe!"

Upon hearing this, Gaara's gaze narrowed slightly. The next moment, he lifted Temari up with a swirl of sand and carried her out of the area, ignoring her cries.

The next moment, Kisame formed hand seals and unleashed a large-scale water escaping attack in the desert.

"In that case, you can't use your sand."

Gaara frowned, and the dry sand in the gourd on his back surged out, gathered together, and lifted him directly into the air.

He glanced at Kisame and said, "Your target is the Tailed Beasts, and that includes me. In that case, follow me!"

Gaara's levitation caught Kisame off guard. There was spare sand? In the gourd?

After a moment of silence, Kisame glanced at the Sunagakure ninjas who were still besieging the wooden doll.

Just like ants biting an elephant, whether they are ninjas or puppeteers, they are like ants.

And this... is the power of the God of Shinobi.

"Are you trying to use yourself as bait to save the entire village from destruction?"

Kisame smiled, and then the resurrected Hashirama Senju, controlled by the wooden doll, slowly chased after Gaara.

……

"Practice with blank rounds!"

In its full tailed beast form, Shukaku patted its belly and fired air bullets at the wooden golem.

But such an attack was actually slapped away by his palm.

Shukaku frowned. As a tailed beast that Sunagakure had obtained long ago, he had never seen the power of Hashirama Senju.

but now……

"This guy's skin is incredibly thick!"

After making a sarcastic remark, Shukaku began to condense a Tailed Beast Ball in its mouth.

"roar!!!"

The Tailed Beast Ball, resembling a black sphere of light, was unleashed, but the wooden figure opposite leaped up and slammed it down with one hand.

"boom!!!"

Shukaku was completely stunned by the violent explosion.

At that moment, it was being pressed to the ground by the wooden figure, and fists as big as mountain peaks were raining down on it.

"boom!"

"Damn it, don't slap me in the face!"

"boom!"

"Boss Yun, help me..."

The cries for help had no effect, and Shukaku, who was being punched repeatedly, dared not retreat.

Because if that were the case, Gaara would inevitably fall into a coma, and I would inevitably be taken away directly.

……

Not far away, Kisame, who was watching Shukaku get beaten up, was grinning with great interest.

But a figure appeared behind him.

"You should understand perfectly well that Obito Uchiha didn't intend for you to leave alive when he placed you here, right?"

Kisame turned around and smiled: "For me, life is no longer important. They showed me a real world where there is no fear of life or death."

Kisame looked directly at Uchiha Un without the slightest fear and said, "As they predicted, Konoha's priority is to preserve Sunagakure, not Kumogakure."

"In this way, the Hidden Cloud Village will have two tailed beasts, and the plan will be more than half successful."

Yun smiled as well: "The real world?... "

Just as he was about to say something, Shukaku, who was being beaten up, sensed the arrival of the clouds and immediately stopped.

"Boss Yun! Help me!"

"cloud!!!"

"I'm going to be beaten to a pulp!"

"If I lose this brat, I'll be gone too..."

"Aren't you coming yet? Uchiha Yun, you bastard..."

"Boss Yun, save me..."

……

Shukaku's shameless cries for help made Yun frown.

But the next moment, it appeared directly above the wooden doll's head. Its speed was so fast that even Kisame, who was fearless of death, was stunned.

That's not Flying Thunder God Technique; it's merely a body-flash technique that utilizes physical strength.

Such speed... is simply terrifying.

"Whoosh!"

A Flying Thunder God kunai was plunged directly into the back of the head of the reanimated First Hokage; even if he tried to control it, it was too late.

In an instant, the sealing technique covered the entire body of the First Hokage.

The wooden figure vanished the next moment, and the sealed First Hokage fell to the ground.

Reaching the crater created by the wooden doll, Uchiha Yun leaned out and looked at Shukaku inside: "What did you just say to me? I didn't hear you clearly."

Shukaku was still a little dazed when no fists landed. He sat up and looked at Uchiha Yun by the pit.

"Um... Boss Yun is awesome!!"

Beneath the shrill voice lay Shukaku's terrified heart.

Those wooden figures were dealt with in a second?

Isn't this even more powerful than the Six Paths Old Man?

Did I just curse Boss Yun?

No!

How could I possibly insult my boss? That's not true!

Ignoring Shukaku, who had already retreated to the sealed land, Kisame glanced at Gaara, who was unconscious, and then appeared in front of him again in a flash.

"They didn't run? Looks like they really have thrown their lives to the wind."

Kisame calmly replied, "At that speed, running was pointless. No matter how far away, as long as I'm still within his perception range, I can't escape."

Yun smiled and said, "Although that is indeed the case, I still think it's necessary to leave you with a memento."

As he spoke, a spell appeared, flowing up from Kisame's feet and finally stopping behind his shoulder.

"From the moment the plan began, I knew I would never return. The Flying Thunder God Technique you so clearly applied to me will have no effect whatsoever."

Yun shook her head slightly: "In fact, you are not someone who wants to betray. Someone will come looking for you. As a persecutor of this era, you should still have some use before you die."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun took Gaara, who was unconscious in the pit, away and disappeared into the desert.

……

In Sunagakure, Kumo, having abandoned Gaara, looked towards the ruins of the Kazekage Building.

At this moment, a stretcher covered with a white sheet was surrounded by Sunagakure ninjas, all of whom looked extremely grim.

Based on my perception, the person lying inside should be the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.

However... being smashed into mincemeat was indeed too tragic for Shadow.

This situation is actually a good thing for the subsequent plans.
