Konoha: Offer your heart to the Hokage!

Amidst the sea of ​​fire, Uchiha Yan roared with wild laughter: "Hahahaha!"

After being discovered by the Cloud Ninja guards planted there, she activated Susanoo without hesitation, unleashing a barrage of Yasaka Magatama, indiscriminately bombarding various parts of the Cloud Village.

Each round of jade pendants falls.

The mountain collapsed and houses crumbled.

The fire-style clones simultaneously unleashed powerful fire-style attacks, turning the area around the building into a living hell.

Flames and magatama intertwined, forming an impenetrable barrier of death. The elders of Kumogakure and the few remaining Anbu could only stand outside the barrier, watching helplessly as they wreaked havoc.

The arrogant laughter echoed continuously, penetrating everyone's ears.

Even in the scorching heat of the fire, everyone felt cold in their hands and feet and chilled to the bone.

Unfortunately, Yun Yin was in his weakest state at that moment and was almost completely unprepared.

With the Second Raikage killed, the strongest body, Illaoi, and the Jinchuriki both in the Cloud and Thunder Gorge, the Gold and Silver Brothers leading a large number of the village's elite troops in pursuit of the Konoha delegation, and the ninja forces still confronting Konoha on the front lines... a vacuum has emerged in terms of top-tier combat power, and there are very few elite ninjas left.

The combination of various disadvantages ultimately led to this disaster.

The Raikage Building was engulfed in flames, many ninjas died tragically, and houses were destroyed one after another.

What a disgrace...

"Trap them!" the elder roared hoarsely. "Don't let them escape! Wait until Illaoi, Goldhorn, and Silverhorn return!"

"Yes!!!"

Ordinary Cloud Ninjas rushed forward one after another, knowing they were no match, yet still trying to use their flesh and blood to hold off Uchiha Yan.

Everything will be alright once the village's important figures return...

Their existence was like ants to Susanoo; when the magatama was thrown, they fell in droves.

Uchiha Yan was caught up in the heat of battle when his Fire Release clone suddenly spoke up: "It's time to retreat."

This is ultimately the homeland of Kumogakure. Once the main force of Kumogakure retreats, it will be difficult to leave again.

Upon hearing the order, Uchiha Yan did not hesitate.

Although the Cloud Ninja were like ants, their sheer number still drained a significant amount of her chakra and ocular power. Therefore, she immediately dispelled her Susanoo and, along with her Fire Release clone, leaped off the cliff…

The body plummeted rapidly, and the hair was whipped backward by the airflow.

The spirit beast Wu rushed from afar, swooping down at an even faster speed to catch the two in mid-air before taking off.

The Cloud Ninjas on the ground stared blankly at this scene, their necks feeling an unbearable weight as they looked up from below.

"What is that? I've never seen a spirit beast like that before."

"Don't stand there! Shoot her down!"

A dense barrage of Lightning Release ninjutsu ripped upwards, weaving a lightning net that attacked Wu, but it was all blocked by its hard shell, causing no damage whatsoever. The Fire Release clone turned around and, in sync with Uchiha Yan, formed hand seals, unleashing a massive fireball to retaliate against the Cloud Ninja on the ground.

The sea of ​​fire is spreading, and the clouds are burning.

Chapter 163 Shen Er: Kill every single Konoha ninja!

The figures on the ground gradually shrank into tiny dots until they could no longer be seen with the naked eye.

"Phew... I've never felt so wonderful before."

Uchiha Yan breathed a sigh of relief. This raid had, in a way, avenged her ancestors against Kumogakure.

She turned to look at the fire-style clone beside her, her eyes shining: "You wouldn't happen to be Madara Uchiha, would you?"

"I've only ever seen this level of fire jutsu from Lord Madara."

"You said I was Hashirama Senju before, and now you think I'm Madara Uchiha. So who do you think I really am?" Shen asked rhetorically, without offering any further explanation, before handing over a copy of the Heavenly Delivery Technique.

"You come here to learn this secret technique. If you can't learn it, we'll secretly select someone from Akatsuki Village who can learn it."

Uchiha Yan took the scroll, her brows furrowing slightly: "You can't be unaware of the side effects of the Heavenly Delivery Technique, can you? Even for ninjas specializing in taijutsu, without the inhuman special bloodline constitution of the Raikage clan, using it would be certain death."

"Of course I know."

"Then why..."

"Maybe I'm actually the Raikage?"

"cut."

Uchiha Yan curled her lip, sensing the mockery in his words. Diavolo was clearly unfazed by the side effects of this secret technique.

"What do you plan to do with the Heavenly Gift Technique after you learn it?"

"Let the ninja world burn."

He spoke calmly, as if he were a riddle teller.

Plundering the tailed beasts and secret techniques of the four great ninja villages will undoubtedly reignite the flames of war in the ninja world, causing widespread devastation and countless deaths. But Er doesn't care; as long as he can obtain power surpassing all others, it's all worthwhile.

Say.

Diavolo is the one who wreaked havoc on the ninja world. What is his relationship with Zenin Jinji, the Third Hokage of Konoha?

Uchiha Yan felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.

Only at this moment did she truly see Diablo's madness. He was different from all other ninjas; tailed beasts and secret techniques were merely tools to him. He collected them only to pave the way for his greater ambitions.

No one knows his true intentions.

Just standing next to him, you can feel his ruthless and dark will.

Uchiha Yan, who had already boarded this pirate ship, had no way out.

They could only dance with demons until the very end of their lives.

After a while, Uchiha Yan recovered from the chill and, controlling Satoru, asked, "Where are we going now?"

Shen Er closed his eyes to sense the condition of his own body and said, "I will leave a Storm Release clone to follow you... riding on Satori, to patrol the high-altitude route from Kumogakure to the Land of Fire."

"High-altitude patrol?" Uchiha Yan asked疑惑地, "What are they going to do?"

"You should know about Tobirama Senju and his four disciples, right?"

"know."

Inside the meditation room, a cruel smile crept across Shen'er's lips:

"If you find them, kill them all without leaving a single one alive."

...

Amidst the ruins of Yunyin, someone collapsed to their knees, lamenting, "Why has Yunyin become like this?"

Disaster reports were continuously sent to the temporary command post.

"The main structure of the Raikage Building has been completely destroyed and needs to be rebuilt."

"The death toll has exceeded 100, and a large number of homes have been destroyed by fire..."

All that came in was bad news, but that wasn't the worst of it.

An ANBU ninja burst in, his voice trembling as he struggled to speak: "The Second Raikage's residence was massacred; no one survived, including the Second Raikage's wife."

The entire room fell silent.

The Second Raikage died, and his wife did not escape death either. They had no children, which meant that their lineage was cut off.

Overnight, Yunyin changed completely.

The elder's voice trembled as he said, "It's a fight to the death! A fight to the death! What else was discovered at the scene?"

"The on-site investigation revealed that the seal on the Raikage's master bedroom had been damaged, and the secret scrolls that should have been stored inside were also missing."

"Pfft!" An elder immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

The theft of the secret scroll is a more serious matter than the destruction of the buildings. Even though a backup was kept in the village, the secret technique has already fallen into enemy hands.

This is the root of Kumogakure!

If the attacker, Uchiha Yan, was seeking revenge against Kumogakure and was spreading these scrolls around, what foundation would Kumogakure have left among the Five Great Nations?

"Immediately send a message to Illaoi and the Gold and Silver Horn brothers, whoever they are, tell them to return to the village as quickly as possible!"

"Now! Immediately! Right now!"

...

Leaf.

As Shen Er stepped out of the meditation room, the kind-hearted Uchiha Chiri approached him, handed him a cup of warm water, and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Cultivation must be very difficult."

“Yes,” Shen Er sighed. “The world is too chaotic now, even I have to train as a ninja.”

"Don't worry too much. In a few days, the Hokage will return with a new peace treaty, and the ninja world will be able to return to peace."

"I hope so." Shen Er nodded noncommittally, took Zhili's hand and led her to the bathroom. "It's getting late, let's wash up and rest."

Controlling four Earthly Grudge clones simultaneously was a heavy burden for him. Even though he stayed in the meditation room the whole time and lied to others that he was cultivating, he was still exhausted and covered in sweat.

The Earth Grudge clones, being separated from the body for extended periods, cause the main body to weaken over time. Currently, only a Wood Release heart remains within his body, and he needs to retract the heart as soon as possible to prevent others from noticing the problem.

A tender night.

Uchiha Chiri had no idea that her closest confidante had recently carried out a massacre spanning thousands of miles, and had even issued an "extermination order" to another Uchiha female ninja.

With the Shadow Guard returning to Konoha from Fallingfire City, and with pursuers harassing them along the way, they simply couldn't get back within three days.

Without Konoha's support, their survival was uncertain. However, Zenji was not willing to entrust the lives of the Shadow Guard and Tobirama to luck.

Zenin Jinji, as the acting Hokage, would definitely have to send a rescue team.

However, Diavolo would also send Uchiha Yan to kill them before the rescuers arrived.

This was his second-line preparation.

It would be best if the Shadow Guards, who inherited Tobirama Senju's will, died outside Konoha, thus rendering any dying wishes meaningless; however, if they ultimately returned to Konoha alive...

They then adopted the "information warfare" strategy originally planned.

Regardless of their will, under the influence of public opinion, they will live forever as sinners, burdened by self-blame and the villagers' insults. Even their descendants will be constantly bullied in Konoha.
