In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 295 Avenging Hinata, the Little Wife

"hope, stop standing there like an idiot. Go stop Darui's bleeding, and then deal with Qianye."

Ray Shadow shouted at hope.

The latter then realized what was happening.

He rushed over to treat Darui.

however.

Before he could make a move, a large tree sprang up from beneath his feet, instantly binding him and rendering him immobile.

"hope, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and stop Darui's bleeding."

Seeing that hope had not yet taken any action, Lei Ying urged him sharply.

hope's limbs stiffened, and although he tried to break free, he couldn't. He could only manage a strained reply, "Lord Lei Lei Ying, I... I'm under an illusion."

"Damn it." Upon hearing this, Raikage was both shocked and furious.

"Let's retreat, Raikage-sama. This guy is too powerful. He's beyond the capabilities of an ordinary ninja," Hii advised.

Darui also agreed with hope's retreat plan, "Boss, as long as we're alive, we can always fight again. You are the pillar of Kumogakure, you must not fall here."

"Damn it, I will never accept this!" Raikage glared at Qianye, his body surging with lightning, his hair standing on end, and he once again activated his physical body to the maximum.

With a powerful stomp of his foot, he instantly flew into the air, transforming into a streak of blue lightning, leaving behind a crisscrossing spiderweb-like crack in his wake.

When he reappeared, Raikage was already in front of Chiya, and he angrily punched Chiya in the face.

However, his fist missed its target.

Before the Raikage's horrified eyes, Senya vanished from his sight in an instant, just like the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, with whom he had once fought.

When he finally came to his senses, he felt a sharp pain in his back and his body fell uncontrollably to the ground, plunging several meters before he managed to stop himself with his face.

Looking at his back, one could see that a terrifying gash, identical to the one on Darui's chest, had appeared out of nowhere.

Blood gradually stained the earth red.

Meanwhile, Qianye had already arrived at the position where Raikage had previously occupied during his attack. He flicked his sword, which was covered in blood, and sheathed it.

"BOSS"

"Lord Raikage."

Darui and Shi were shocked. As the Raikage's bodyguards, the two tried to rush to his aid, but it was too late.

One of them was controlled by an illusion, while the other was too badly injured; the wound in his chest had almost rendered him unable to move, and the slightest movement caused him excruciating pain.

Qianye said calmly, "There are forty-five seconds left."

"How...how is this possible? My Lightning Release Armor in its strongest state is so easily defeated. And its speed far surpasses mine!"

With the lightning completely dissipated, Lei Ying, relying on his indomitable will and physique, struggled to his feet.

At this moment, he felt a burning sensation on his back. The long-lost pain since he mastered the Lightning Release Armor made Raikage somewhat unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

"Thirty seconds left," Qianye said again.

"Lord Raikage, let's go." Darui grabbed the nearest man, hope, with one arm and lifted him up.

Ignoring his own injuries and whether the Raikage agreed, he forcibly used Body Flicker to get to the Raikage's side, helped him up, and then used Body Flicker to leave.

This time, the Raikage did not refuse.

He knew that if they didn't leave soon, the three of them might really have to stay here today.

Just as the three of them were about to leave, Qianye suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked their way.

"What do you mean? Didn't you say there were still thirty seconds left?" Darui asked breathlessly.

"It was thirty seconds, that's true, but I've changed my mind."

Chiya looked the three of them up and down, recalling the image of his concubine crying on the day of Hizashi's funeral. He pointed at the Raikage and said, "Raikage, come here and kneel down."

"What did you say?" The Raikage thought he had misheard. He was being asked to kneel down, one of the Five Kage of the current ninja world?

Are you kidding me?

"Haven't I made myself clear enough? Kneel down and shout three times, 'I was wrong,' and I'll spare your life and that of your men."

Qianye crossed her arms.

"Fujiwara Chiya, no matter what, you are a renowned figure in the ninja world. How dare you threaten me, the Raikage-sama? Don't you think that's utterly despicable?"

Darui put Xi down and whispered, "hope, how are you feeling? Can you move now? Find a chance to take Lord Raikage away quickly later. I'll cover your retreat."

hope struggled to her feet and stretched her limbs. "Although I still can't muster much strength, traveling shouldn't be a problem, but you..."

"Enough with the nonsense, Lord Raikage's life is above all else," Darui said sternly.

Qianye didn't care about their "secret plot" in person. "What you said is quite interesting."

"Back then, when that idiot Hiruzen Sarutobi was in power, you kidnapped the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main family in Konoha. After the incident was exposed, you turned around and forced Hyuga Hizashi to commit suicide."

"If we're talking about despicable behavior, you're the originators. I'm still your student."

"But what you said reminded me, and I've changed my mind."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qianye symbolically formed a hand seal with his right hand. A series of bangs rang out, the smoke dissipated, and thousands of shadow clones appeared all over the mountains and fields.

"This is..." The three Raikage were shocked, and cold sweat poured down his brows, because he felt an extremely strong chakra in each of the shadow clones.

Qianye smiled and said, "I've decided to increase the stakes. I'll wager the lives of your entire Cloud Village in exchange for sparing everyone in your village. In return, I'll make the three of you kneel before me."

"Back then, I wiped out more than 2,000 ninjas of the Sarutobi clan. It took me about 15 minutes and 25 shadow clones."

"Your Hidden Cloud Village, as a great military ninja village, is definitely stronger than the Sarutobi clan. Therefore, I have increased it to 2,500 shadow clones, a hundredfold increase."

"Hmm, if we don't say we wipe out a village, killing 30,000 to 50,000 people in fifteen minutes shouldn't be too difficult."

"Damn it!" Raikage gritted his teeth in anger, his eyes wide with fury as he stared intently at Chiya.

Thirty to fifty thousand people? How could he even say that? Kumogakure is no match for Konoha.

Although its military strength ranks among the top in the five great nations, its total population is less than that of the wealthy Konoha.

If he really kills 30,000 to 50,000 people, will there be anyone left in Yunyin?

This is practically a recipe for national ruin.

Chiya shrugged. "Don't look at me like that. I originally came here just to watch the Uchiha and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki fight. Who told you to attack me without warning, and to try and kill me right away?"

"I only asked you to kneel down, I didn't carry out genocide, that's already showing you mercy."

"Sigh, what can I do? I'm just too soft-hearted. I'm just too kind."

The three Raikage's lips twitched violently, even though they admitted that they felt they had been shameless enough in dealing with the Hyuga clan.

But I also felt that it was far inferior to Qianye.

If Senya is so kind as to wipe out two thousand members of the Sarutobi clan without hesitation, then there are probably no kind people left in this world.

"Alright, I don't have time to chat with you anymore. Whether you kneel or not, it's fine if you don't."

As soon as Chiya finished speaking, countless shadow clones rushed towards Kumogakure. The three Raikage tried to stop them, but were surrounded by the remaining seven or eight shadow clones.
