I'm retrieving corpses in Konoha.

The female ninja was the Raikage's secretary; I don't remember her exact name, and she had a very low profile in the original work.

The Fourth Raikage had a very strong presence, standing out even compared to the generally large physique of the Yotsuki clan.

Just looking at him gives off a sense of pressure, especially now with his cold and stern expression, which adds to his imposing presence.

Yamanaka Inoichi stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Lord Raikage, we are envoys from Konoha, sent by the Third Hokage to sign a peace treaty with your village."

He is polite, kind, and neither arrogant nor humble, leaving no room for criticism.

Uchiha Natsu's shadow clones and Shisui's two companions also followed behind, bowing in greeting.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Uchiha Natsu's shadow clone secretly checked the surrounding environment.

There were no ambushes in the main hall, but it was unclear whether there were any in the rooms behind.

The Fourth Raikage's expression remained unchanged. He stood up, took two steps forward, and coldly snorted:

"Your Konoha has killed two of my Cloud Village's Yotsuki clan's genius ninjas. Have you thought about how to settle this score?"

The sound was as powerful as a giant hammer striking, and as he spoke, the muscles on the Fourth Raikage's body bulged and veins popped out.

Tsuchiya and the secretary also began to look at each other with hostility.

The four members of Konoha felt a jolt in their hearts, realizing something was wrong.

Yamanaka Inoichi quickly explained, "Lord Raikage, we have never done such a thing. Is there some misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstand?"

The Raikage's eyes widened in fury as he roared, "Our men witnessed your Konoha Anbu murder a genius Jonin from the Yotsuki clan. Another genius sent to the Land of Fire a few days ago also died at the hands of your Konoha ninjas!"

"Both times, someone witnessed it firsthand. Now, both genius ninjas are dead. You're saying this is a misunderstanding?"

Chapter 17 Bombing

Uchiha Natsu immediately realized what was happening.

The genius that the Raikage mentioned, who was killed by the Anbu, should be the Cloud Village Jonin who was ambushed and killed by the Big Gray three years ago.

The other genius Jonin from Kumogakure who was recently killed was probably the "rogue ninja" bandit who died by his own hand.

The bandit leader happened to be from Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village). Although it was unclear why he wasn't wearing a headband, his ninja tools were indeed from the Land of Lightning.

and many more……

Uchiha Natsu suddenly thought of something.

If that squad wasn't rogue ninja, but rather a normal squad of Jonin and three Chunin, simply carrying out a mission, there would be no need for them to hide their headbands.

Unless, of course, they are trying to conceal their identities and sneak into the Land of Fire.

Considering that there are hardly any ninjas to be seen in Kumogakure now, Uchiha Natsu immediately thought of a possibility.

"You want to declare war on Konoha?" Uchiha Natsu said in a deep voice. "So, the ninjas of Kumogakure have already launched an attack on Konoha?"

The Fourth Raikage glanced at Uchiha Natsu with some surprise.

Uchiha Natsu was absolutely right. Now, Kumogakure, in coordination with Iwagakure and Sunagakure, has completed the clearing of the outposts on the border of the Land of Fire.

Konoha is probably unaware of the situation yet, while the forces of the three ninja villages are already approaching Konoha.

Konoha could only detect it when passing through the barrier, but by then Kumogakure had already gained the upper hand.

The Fourth Raikage stayed here not only to guard the main camp, but also to eliminate several elite Jonin of Konoha.

He hadn't expected Shisui to come, but this suited him even better.

Because Uchiha Shisui was also a huge threat to the other ninjas of Kumogakure on the battlefield.

As for the other three, they weren't even worth a second glance from the Fourth Raikage.

“You’re right, but what you should be worried about now is not Konoha, but yourselves.”

As soon as the Fourth Raikage finished speaking, his body crackled with electricity.

Tsuchishiro had no intention of making a move. In his view, the Raikage alone could easily kill these few Konoha brats.

Moreover, they had no chance of escaping.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, both Yamanaka Inoichi and Uchiha Shisui were struck dumb.

Uchiha Shisui's reaction was much faster than Yamanaka Inoichi's.

The instant the lightning surged from the Raikage's body, he immediately activated his Sharingan.

But at that moment, something surprising happened.

Suddenly, Uzuki Yugao drew her katana from her back and stabbed Uchiha Natsu in the abdomen from behind.

When the katana made contact with Uchiha Natsu's waist, it didn't actually pierce through.

Uzuki Yugao paused for a moment, then mobilized the chakra within her body and thrust forward with even greater force.

However, Uchiha Natsu had already formed hand seals, and the shadow clone dissipated on its own.

Uzuki Yugao missed her target and quickly stopped her forward momentum.

She then remembered that the shadow clone could be dispelled on its own.

Uzuki Yugao's actions were unexpected by everyone except Shisui, who had activated his Sharingan.

Yamanaka Inoichi was completely caught off guard, while the Fourth Raikage quietly observed their "internal strife."

By the way, the best app for reading aloud right now is Wildfruit Reading; install the latest version.

But what he didn't expect was that this Konoha ninja was actually a shadow clone.

"This Konoha ninja is quite skilled, being able to use shadow clones to the point that I can't even see them."

At this point, the Fourth Raikage's evaluation of Uchiha Natsu surpassed that of Uchiha Shisui.

This unexpected turn of events made Tsuchishiro lose his composure. He frowned and said, "Lord Raikage, should I take some men to deal with the one who escaped?"

As soon as Tsuchishiro finished speaking, dozens of ninjas poured out of the room behind him, and several Cloud Village ninjas appeared outside the door to prevent them from escaping.

Among these ninjas were nearly ten Jonin, all of whom came with great force.

The surge of chakra even created a gentle breeze inside the room.

“No need. I can take care of these few before he escapes,” Lei Ying said in a deep voice.

Then, the blue lightning on the Fourth Raikage suddenly increased, and he was completely enveloped in the lightning.

.

Outside the reception hall in Kumogakure.

Uchiha Natsu stood near the Raikage's building, activating his Sharingan under the cover of sunglasses to check for any nearby ninjas.

The residents of Kumogakure who come and go are all ordinary people.

Moreover, even the residents are now very few, with only a handful scattered around.

As if they had received a special order, everyone felt tense and hurried along the streets.

Uchiha Natsu, having searched in vain, had no choice but to shut down his Sharingan.

But at that moment, Uchiha Natsu suddenly had a thought.

The shadow clone, carrying the remaining chakra and memories of this period, returned to the original body.

Uchiha Natsu immediately understood the situation, and then, right there on the street, he rapidly formed hand seals.

Shadow Clone Technique!

Puff puff……

Hundreds of shadow clones were formed, and then these shadow clones simultaneously formed hand seals and cast a transformation spell.

The shadow clones all transformed into masked men in black, without headbands or ninja tool pouches, but their neat arrangement made them resemble a special forces unit.

Using the Mind Decapitation Technique, Uchiha Natsu's true form burrowed underground and quickly headed towards the reception room.

All of these hundreds of "men in black" raised their hands, instantly forming spherical Rasengans in their palms.

The pedestrians on the road were terrified and quickly moved away from the men in black, hiding in the distance to watch.

The shadow clone formed a Rasengan in its hand and immediately blasted it towards Raikagerou.

"Boom boom boom!"

A loud explosion, like a thunderclap, rang out.

The Raikage Tower, bombarded by hundreds of Rasengans, could not withstand the onslaught.

"Boom!"

The first wave of attacks caused the photo studio to collapse completely, with many bricks and tiles being blasted into the air and shot hundreds of meters away.

"what!!"

The pedestrians immediately screamed and scattered.

One pedestrian was even hit in the back by a flying brick and collapsed unconscious on the spot.

After bombing the Hokage Building, all one hundred shadow clones dispersed, continuously generating Rasengans in their hands, and began to bombard the surrounding buildings in turn.

Four shadow clones aimed the Rasengan at the nearby reception room and threw it instantly.

With a loud bang.

The Rasengan struck the wall of the reception room precisely, blasting one wall away.

Meanwhile, in the reception room...

Just as Raikage was about to make a move, he heard a series of violent explosions outside, which even caused the ground to tremble slightly.

This startled the Fourth Raikage. Such a commotion meant that something big had happened outside, even louder than the sound of exploding tags.

Tsuchishiro was also taken aback and was about to speak.

"boom!"

The wall next to it was bombed, and almost the entire wall was blown away.

After the wall blocking their view was blown open, everyone could see what was happening outside.
