Shirou's clones number 30 million

"you sure?"

"This is the resolve of the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure!"

"it is good."

In front of the many villagers of Kirigakure, the Fourth Raikage announced his decision to surrender, which once again caused an uproar below.

Unlike the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Mist Village was extremely excited, with cheers rising and falling.

"Lord Mizukage, please send someone to hand over the responsibilities as soon as possible. There are many of my trusted men in Kumogakure. As soon as the Kirigakure army arrives, they will all take the opportunity to put on Kirigakure headbands."

Shirou was speechless for a few seconds, then gestured with his hand:

"No problem, let's go inside and talk in detail. The surrender of an entire village is no small matter."

"Furthermore, since Kirigakure has just merged with Konoha, we need to carefully consider how many people to send to Kumogakure."

Chapter 468, Section 469: Do they have the ability to expose me?

Upon entering the room, Mizukage Shirou couldn't help but question:

"Are you crazy? What's the point of doing this? How could Cloud Village possibly surrender because of this?"

Although he didn't have the obvious bloodline limit like the Byakugan, his Observation Haki allowed him to easily tell that the other party wasn't the real Fourth Raikage.

"Really? As the Raikage, I still have some prestige in Kumogakure."

“A ninja village is not the same as a country! Moreover, even in a country, the electoral system and the imperial system are completely different. No matter how high your prestige is, it’s a different story when it comes to specific interests.”

"You're overthinking it. Even if the Cloud Ninja won't surrender easily, they're already in considerable chaos after what happened. If you just take this opportunity to lead your army to attack, the Cloud Ninja will surely be destroyed."

"That's true."

Mizukage Shirou looked troubled and pondered for a moment before saying:

"However, I originally did not plan to attack Kumogakure now."

"Konoha has just been conquered, and the territory of the Land of Fire has not yet been fully digested. Many Konoha ninja who are unwilling to surrender to Kirigakure have turned into roaming ninja and are entrenched in various parts of the Land of Fire."

"Sending troops to Kumogakure in this way will not be difficult to take it down, but it is conceivable that even more Kumogakure ninja will turn into roaming ninja."

"So, what's your decision?" the Fourth Raikage asked.

"Sigh... You've pushed me to this point. Do I have any other options but to send troops?"

Mizukage Shirou sighed softly and reached out to shake hands with the Fourth Raikage.

The next moment, their memories were shared.

"It really was you! When did you get here? Why didn't you tell me? And you even went to Kumogakure and did such a big thing without making a sound."

"Well... I just came here to learn from your advanced experience in unifying the ninja world."

The Celestial Dragon, who resembled the Raikage, smiled and then said:

"Because we hadn't communicated beforehand, when I found out you sent Princess Kaguya to Kumogakure, I thought you were going to attack Kumogakure."

"But when we arrived at the scene, we only saw a few girls destroying buildings."

"Out of curiosity, I also stepped in to help, turning Yunyin into ruins."

"Afterwards, just as I was about to leave, the Raikage suddenly returned to Kirigakure using the Heavenly Delivery Technique. In just one encounter, he was severely injured by Kaguya."

"Luckily I saved him, otherwise, he would have been beaten to a pulp by Princess Kaguya."

"As payment for saving his life, it's not too much for me to transform into his appearance and find a way out for Kumogakure, is it?"

Mizukage Shirou chuckled. This wasn't an exaggeration. If the Raikage woke up, he'd probably fight you to the death.

"There must be a better way, right? Is it really necessary to resort to such a crude method?"

"This is the fastest way."

The man from Tianlong shook his head slightly and complained:

"You should have seen it in my memories as well. Cloud Village is now just ruins, nothing remains."

"Food, clothes, houses, all were buried underground."

“When we were vandalizing them, we only thought that we couldn’t leave them anything, not even a drop of clean water. We would spit on it to pollute it.”

"But now that I've become the Raikage, I realize how much the financial loss was!"

"The Five Great Ninja Villages are called villages, but their size is not much different from that of cities."

"Such a large area can't rely entirely on the support of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, can it? Just thinking about it gives me a headache."

"It would be very simple to help clean up the mess with my own strength, but it's hard to find the right balance. I really don't want to help your enemy become stronger."

"After much deliberation, I think it would be better to lead Kumogakure to surrender to you in the name of the Raikage."

"It doesn't matter if they find out. Besides, do they even have the ability to find out about me?"

"Given the current state of Kumogakure, you only need to send three thousand men, led by me, the Raikage, to easily take over Kumogakure."

Mizukage Shirou fell into deep thought. As he said, the plan was incredibly crude, but as long as it worked, that was good enough.

After these two waves of attacks, Kumogakure has fallen into great chaos.

From the scenes he remembered from not long ago, it was clear that some people wanted to surrender with the Raikage, while others vowed to die rather than submit; some believed that the Raikage was a fake, while others believed that the Raikage had seen the power of Kirigakure and had no choice but to comply.

In this situation, Kumogakure had no ability to resist Kirigakure.

Moreover, he, the Raikage, was personally leading the team.

Although many ninjas believe that the Raikage is fake, lower-ranking ninjas and ordinary villagers do not think so.

In their hearts, the Raikage is the strongest ninja, and it is impossible for him to fall for someone else's genjutsu, let alone be impersonated.

"Where is the real Raikage? Could he have already succumbed to his injuries?"

"Probably not."

The Tenryu Shiro immediately untied the red gourd from his waist and released the Fourth Raikage who had been trapped inside.

This was a Six Paths Ninja Tool that he had found by chance. Although it was not as powerful as Laozi's gourd in Journey to the West, it could still be considered a counterfeit version.

With a certain degree of modification, it can seal living beings inside.

Given the Raikage's strength and his critically injured state, defeating him would be a matter of moments.

The true Raikage flew out of the red gourd and appeared inside the Mizukage Building, still unconscious.

The man from Tianlong glanced at it and let out a soft sigh of relief.

"Alive."

"Using a gourd to hold a person? That's really strange. Aren't these things usually used for storage?"

"Before I got the gourd, it had been used by countless people. It felt a bit awkward to use it for food and drinks; other things could be placed in the white mist space. After thinking about it, I could only use it for people."

"That is to say, the Raikage was unconscious and hadn't been inside for long. If you put someone else in there, wouldn't you be worried that they might urinate inside?"

"Hmm...you're right. When I get home, I'll fill it with seawater. That way, everyone who goes in will drown. No, I'll fill it with lava instead; it'll be more lethal."

"Ha ha......"

Mizukage Shirou laughed for a while and then summoned the Anbu.

"Lord Mizukage! Huh...? Raikage?"

The incoming secret agents glanced at it once and immediately lowered their heads.

One of the two Raikage lay unconscious on the ground, while the other was unharmed.

Combined with the Raikage's decision to surrender just now, what happened is self-evident.

"Call Minister Yagura over."

"Yes!"

Soon, Yagura Karatachi led several ANBU members into the Mizukage Building.

"Two Raikage? Mizukage-sama, this is..."

"That's it. The Raikage who just announced his surrender was one of ours. But not only Kumogakure, but even our own people didn't notice anything amiss."

"This...it's really hard to tell the difference." Yagura looked the two Raikage over and over, then suddenly realized something and his face lit up with excitement. "Is the Mizukage going to lead a group to attack Kumogakure? Please be sure to take me with you."

"No rush, settle this wounded person first, and be careful... don't let anyone see."

"Yes! I swear on my life, no one will find out."

Chapter 469 Why Did the Moon Explode?

Chapter 469, Section 470: Why Did the Moon Explode?

"Lord Raikage, are you really Lord Raikage?"

Inside the Hidden Cloud Village, everyone stared in disbelief at the Raikage and the numerous Mist Ninja behind him.

After the Raikage announced his surrender to Kirigakure, he disappeared from Kumogakure while standing on the back of an eagle.

As a result, the already chaotic Cloud Village, which was in disarray due to the buildings being reduced to ruins, became even more chaotic, with arguments erupting everywhere.

However, before the argument could be resolved, the vanished Raikage reappeared with the Kirigakure army.

Beside him, besides the Fourth Mizukage, were some well-known Konoha ninjas, such as Nara Shikaku.

"Damn it! Is this the end for Kumogakure?"

"I refuse to accept this! How can Kumogakure just disappear like this?"

Some accepted it helplessly, some cried and wailed, some remained silent, and naturally, some rose up in resistance.

However, the difference in combat strength was undeniable, and with the help of the Raikage from Kumogakure, the rebels were ultimately only a minority.

"I can't take it anymore!"

With a roar of grief and anger, Killer Bee led a large number of Cloud Ninja in a suicide attack on the Hidden Mist army.

"Brother! I don't know what's wrong with you, but the Hidden Cloud Village absolutely cannot perish in such a ridiculous way."
