"Lord Raikage, shouldn't we venture a little further in? It's still quite a distance from here to Takigakure Village, isn't it?"

At that moment, a Cloud Ninja named Shangxi led dozens of his companions away from the camp to conduct a fixed-point patrol of the surrounding area.

A voluptuous, tall woman with short blonde hair walked lightly to the side behind the Fourth Raikage and asked with a puzzled look.

Wasn't our Raikage planning to seize control of suppressing Takigakure first?

Stopping at this point would just give Konoha time to catch up again, wouldn't it?

This blonde woman is Samui, one of the Fourth Raikage's personal secretaries and a Jonin of Kumogakure.

He enjoys the deep trust of the Fourth Raikage.

He often handles many administrative affairs and carries out secret missions in place of the Fourth Raikage.

"This is the perfect distance. If we go any deeper, who knows what dangers await us? If it were just Takigakure, we wouldn't need to worry, but there are still three tailed beasts. If we push them too far and start a battle prematurely, we Cloud Ninja will suffer too many unnecessary losses, and there's even a possibility of defeat. We must be on guard. Also, there's that bastard Orochimaru, and Iwagakure. We need to be vigilant. This area is the optimal distance!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, said without turning his head.

"I see!"

The blonde woman also showed a look of realization and nodded slightly.

Tailed beasts.

That was something that ordinary ninjas would tremble and fear.

Even the Fourth Raikage, A, had to be treated with caution.

The six-tailed and seven-tailed ones are alright.

The Fourth Raikage was confident that he and the elite Cloud Ninja forces he led could suppress them, except for Menma, who was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The Fourth Raikage, A, was still somewhat unsure.

Based on the information currently available, this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is already able to utilize a significant amount of the Nine-Tails' chakra.

However, it is uncertain whether it is possible to fully transform into a tailed beast.

This is a key point.

From the perspective of a typical Jinchūriki, the ability to fully transform into a Tailed Beast is an important measure of strength!

It is possible to do this.

It means that it can unleash almost 100% of the power of the tailed beast.

As the most powerful tailed beast in the current ninja world, even though the Fourth Raikage did not witness or personally fight against it, judging from the powerful performance of his own Eight-Tails and the price Konoha paid 13 years ago, the Nine-Tails is a formidable force.

This gives us a good idea of ​​just how terrifying the Nine-Tails is when it goes all out.

If that were the case, a Nine-Tails would already be very dangerous, and if other powers were added, the risk factor would definitely increase exponentially.

As a reflection of a village.

He can make decisions unilaterally, but he must also consider the entire ninja village and all the Cloud Ninja; he cannot simply act recklessly without regard for the consequences.

The key here is the control of degree and scale.

Very important.

Ai was just domineering and rude, and at most a little arrogant, but not stupid. After all, he was the village's leader. He couldn't have risen to power without some skills, or rather, he would have been overthrown after he did.

Therefore, the Fourth Raikage, A, would never lead his own village's ninjas on any adventurous missions. He merely intended to intimidate Takigakure first, seize control, and test Konoha's strength.

Anyway, Takigakure Village is unlikely to take the initiative to attack.

This has been well proven over the past few decades.

Would a small ninja village dare to attack a large ninja village?

If it were just Orochimaru and Menma, the Fourth Raikage A wouldn't be worried at all. This judgment stemmed from preconceived notions and a lack of crucial information.

The Fourth Raikage, A, could never have imagined that the mere 13-year-old Menma would be so decisive, let alone that the relationship between Menma and Takigakure and Kusagakure was far more than ordinary.

Just when the Fourth Raikage A thought that the opponent could only cautiously defend themselves or seek help from other ninja villages.

On a plain more than a hundred kilometers away from where the Cloud Ninja had set up camp.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

Hundreds of figures were rapidly flashing forward.

The familiar red hair at the head of the group.

It was Uzumaki Menma who had led his troops from Takigakure Village not long ago, with Utakata, Shibuki, Fu, and others standing side by side with him.

The huge crowd behind me.

They were all elites from Takigakure Village.

There were more than 2,500 people.

This is all the forces that Takigakure Village can dispatch, excluding other border outposts and the necessary personnel remaining in the village.

A true all-out effort.

If this battle is lost...

Faced with numbness, all that was left was to flee in a sorry state.

Only victory is allowed, defeat is not an option!

"!!!"

With a serious expression, Mianma unleashed his full sensory power, meticulously examining the surrounding area.

Use yourself as the center point.

Within a radius of forty or fifty li.

No matter how small the disturbance, it cannot escape Mianma's perception.

He wanted to launch a surprise attack at the shortest possible distance, so that he could inflict maximum damage on the Cloud Ninja.

"Menma-kun, is it really okay for us to travel at this high speed? Won't the Cloud Ninja's scouts easily discover our presence? Wouldn't it be better to spread out and slowly encircle us?"

As they sped along, Shibuki, standing close to Menma, spoke with a worried expression on his face.

"Don't worry, Shibuki-san. Trust me, no Cloud Ninja will be able to find us before I do."

Menma shook his head slightly, and said with a very confident look.

Kagura's Mind's Eye!

A unique technique of the Uzumaki clan.

This was originally a detection skill that far surpassed the Byakugan.

Now, with the added bonus of Menma and Nine-Tailed Fox's malicious perception.

In terms of perception.

Menma is undoubtedly the top existence in the ninja world. Unless someone's speed can far surpass Menma's and reach a level that Menma cannot easily react to, within a fixed range, only Menma's radar can lock onto others. Other sensory ninjas cannot easily find Menma's location.

Although I'm not completely at ease.

But since Menma is so confident.

Shemu simply nodded slightly and said nothing more.

And that is indeed the case.

The speed at which it continuously advances.

They didn't encounter a single Cloud Ninja in the area ahead.

Until it reaches a certain relative distance.

"!"

The chakra fluctuations detected came from other directions.

"Hutaka-san, three o'clock, ten kilometers!"

The words that Mianma suddenly shouted out.

"Ok!"

Yu Gao nodded emphatically.

"Whoosh!"

With a burst of chakra from the soles of his feet.

It surged upwards at an astounding speed, heading towards the location designated by Menma.

It all started here.

Then they encountered three or four waves of Cloud Ninja reconnaissance forces. Menma either sent Utakata or Fu to deal with them, or even personally led the charge in front of them, killing these Cloud Ninja reconnaissance personnel one by one!

Fatal perceptual bias.

There's also a dimensional gap in strength.

None of these Cloud Ninja could escape their fate of being killed.

Furthermore, no one could send out a signal for help or a warning. However, this could not continue indefinitely. After decades of continuous changes, the reconnaissance and patrol system of the five great ninja villages had reached a very sophisticated level.

Patrols were conducted in layers.

The most important thing is the feedback interval between each other.

Especially during wartime, once a highly sensitive 'blank' period occurs, subsequent reconnaissance personnel immediately become vigilant.

Moreover, Menma led not a small elite force, but a massive ninja legion of over 2,500 men.

After eliminating four or five waves of Cloud Ninja reconnaissance units.

They advanced to within a few miles of the Cloud Ninja camp.

The main force's movements could no longer be concealed and were discovered by the Cloud Ninja.
