Chapter 162 The Hidden Clouds' Conspiracy!

There was really no other way. Konoha was caught off guard and was fighting on four fronts.

In these few short days, a large number of their ninjas were on missions outside and could not return immediately.

Another group of ninjas were required to stay behind in Konoha to protect the main camp and rebuild the village, which had been ravaged by the One-Tailed and Nine-Tailed beasts.

The good thing is that the other four countries, except for the weak Kingdom of Wind, also launched a sudden attack, and none of them were prepared.

The ninjas stationed at the border by Konoha and the troops urgently dispatched are barely enough to handle the situation.

However, the situation on the other side was an exception. Despite Konoha's superior forces and the double advantage of fighting on their home turf, they were still forced to retreat and were pushed further into the enemy's territory.

Thinking about it this way, Mitokado Homura began to believe the information that the Cloud Village's so-called 2000 ninjas were all Special Jonin or higher.

At the same time, he cursed Bitz in his heart.

To be able to instantly dispatch a ninja army with such strong average strength to attack Konoha at the very beginning of the war.

This shows that the Hidden Cloud Village must have been preparing for war with the Hidden Leaf Village long ago, and they had done their homework in advance.

It's even possible that the Land of Lightning and the Land of Wind have long been secretly allied, or that the Land of Lightning has obtained some intelligence.

They were just waiting for Konoha to be in chaos so they could take advantage of the situation and attack them.

Thinking about it this way, Bitts's intentions are extremely sinister.

He actually made a trip to Konoha in person, appearing friendly to lower their guard while secretly mobilizing troops and preparing to attack the Land of Fire at any time.

Yunyin came prepared, so we must not be careless.

With this thought in mind, Mitokado Homura took the command position without hesitation. After sitting down at the head of the table, he immediately instructed the Nara clan ninja:

"Prepare paper and pen, I will write a letter to the village now."

"Yes."

The Nara clan ninjas were overjoyed upon hearing this, even though they had immediately reported the situation to Konoha after the battle.

But a high-ranking person always has more say than them, and those above are more willing to believe what Mitokado Homura says.

Once the paper and pen were brought, Mitomon Homura immediately wrote down what he had seen, heard, and guessed.

At the same time, Jiraiya was urged to immediately send troops to provide support, as no one knew when the reinforcements from Kumogakure would return.

The 2000 vanguards alone are enough to give them a headache. If they drag this out until the main force of the Cloud Village arrives, then they will truly be in trouble.

After the distress call was sent, Mitokado En immediately convened a meeting with the remaining Jonin who were still able to move to discuss defensive deployments, patrol routes, and arrangements for the injured ninja to return to Konoha for treatment.

While Konoha was intensifying its defenses, a meeting was also being held at the camp where the vanguard of the Cloud Village was located.

The meeting was supposed to be chaired by Kirabi, but disliking the troublesome work, he delegated his tasks to his deputy, Darui.

Darui was an elite among the Jonin of Kumogakure and was once the right-hand man of the Fourth Raikage.

He is absolutely outstanding in terms of ability, but he has a slight flaw in his personality, always complaining about being bored.

For someone as careless as Darui, chairing meetings and giving instructions is really a bit of a challenge.

However, since it was an order from his superiors, he had no choice but to accept it silently.

"Alright, the casualty statistics from last night are out."

Our side suffered 63 minor injuries and 5 serious injuries, but no fatalities.

According to Konoha's estimates, their casualties should be more than twice that of ours.

This was yet another perfect raid; the mission was accomplished accurately with minimal losses.

Although this is a figure worth boasting about, few of the Cloud Hidden Ninja who did it were truly happy.

Sure enough, as soon as Darui finished speaking, someone immediately commented:

“Darui, it’s not that I’m arrogant, but with the strength of our Cloud Ninja, and with you and Lord Killer Bee in charge, we can say that…”

"Taking down those Konoha trash isn't an easy task. Why bother with night raids every time? It would be much better to just attack directly."

Although the others didn't speak, their nodding in agreement clearly indicated that they thought the same thing.

Seeing this, Darui helplessly tossed the casualty report onto the table, leaned back in his chair, and said resignedly:

"I'm telling you guys, can't you use your brains at all?"

If it were that simple, who would want to waste their time here?

As he spoke, Darui changed his aptitude, resting his chin on his hand on the table, his tone becoming slightly more serious.

"Have you ever considered that, if things were as you say, we would have already stormed into Konoha in one fell swoop?"

So what happens next? What are we going to face?

Konoha was only crippled, not dead. They were all driven to their homeland. Anyone would fight desperately, hoping to exchange one for another, and launch a counterattack to the death.

At that time, our Cloud Village will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

What's even more dangerous is that the three kingdoms of Earth, Wind, and Water, which are currently attacking Konoha with us in perfect unison, will definitely attack us in unison as well.

I don't want to get my ass stolen by that cunning old bastard, Onoki.

Upon hearing this, the group of Cloud Village Jonin finally calmed down a little.

They were all experienced ninjas who had carried out countless missions.

Although he became a little overconfident due to his surge in strength and consecutive victories, his basic judgment remained intact.

Darui's reminder made them realize the seriousness of the problem, and they all calmed down, their feverish minds gradually clearing.

Seeing that they had all figured it out, Darui felt relieved and revealed his plan.

"For the next few days, we'll tone it down a bit and mainly focus on tug-of-war with Konoha."

The Jonin present all grinned wickedly, and one of them couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"That old man, Onoki, must be getting anxious seeing how fast we're fighting."

Let's give him a couple of days' rest and let him put in more effort.

When he and Konoha are locked in a bloody battle, we'll not only storm Konoha, but also raid Iwagakure's rear!

"Hahaha~~ Yes, we must fight Konoha, and we must fight Iwagakure to the death."

"That damn Onoki, I really want to see his expression when he finds out his hometown was robbed."

Chapter 163 Tsunade arrives at the Demon Wings, unleashing the seal on Kaguya Otsutsuki, the 6th Winged Fin of Iwaba-sus!

Thanks to the Hidden Cloud Village's deliberate delay, the Leaf Village was able to temporarily stabilize its battle lines.

Although some people in Konoha sensed something was wrong and guessed the ulterior motives of Kumogakure.

But now the situation is dire, so Mitomon Homura has no choice but to cooperate with the barbarians of Kumogakure in putting on a show so that more ninjas can go to support other fronts.

Upon receiving news that the Cloud Village's attack had been thwarted, the other three kingdoms immediately accelerated their offensive.

Even after Ōnoki learned of this, he was still joking and laughing with the people of Iwagakure.

The barbarians from Kumogakure are just plain stupid. Their rapid charge immediately drew most of Konoha's hatred, so it's no wonder they're now being heavily targeted.

What Onoki didn't know was that while he was personally directing the attack from the front lines, another army from Kumogakure had already taken the sea route, bypassing the five countries of Tsuki, Yu, Oto, Tetsu, and Taki, and heading straight for the homeland of the Land of Earth.

"Charge! For Lord Raikage!!"

With a roar, the Cloud Village Jonin Tsuchida led a full 2000 ninja soldiers to forcibly land on the Land of Earth amidst the panicked and astonished gazes of the coastal defense forces.

At the cost of only a handful of injuries, they easily captured part of the Land of Earth's coastline.

He then immediately made arrangements to disperse all the ninjas, except for the 300 ninjas who stayed behind to provide support and supplies, into the Land of Earth in small teams of four.

Their goal was not to conquer Iwagakure in one fell swoop, but to weaken Iwagakure's war potential in the shortest possible time, destroy their villages and towns, and plunder their people, money, and resources.

They pulled out Iwagakure's scattered strongholds in the Land of Earth, completely disrupting Onoki's rear.

At the same time, the Hidden Cloud Village immediately dispatched two more ninja armies.

One of the routes was commanded by Xi, who launched a land attack on the countries of Yin and Tie.

The other team, led by Kito himself, also took the sea route to directly enter the Land of Waterfalls, aiming to find and conquer the Hidden Takigakure Village as quickly as possible.

Thus, with the Cloud Village's preemptive strike, the Fourth Shinobi World War took a completely different turn.

After Onoki learned that his hometown had been robbed, he cursed the Hidden Cloud Village for its lack of martial ethics while maintaining the front line with the Hidden Leaf Village and sending some ninjas back to the village to provide support.

Even so, Onoki didn't initially pay much attention to Kumogakure.

According to the intelligence he received, the most elite forces of Kumogakure were already in Konoha.

While Iwagakure lacked many things, it had no shortage of people. He left behind a ninja army of over 8000 men in Iwagakure.

As soon as his order is given, the entire Iwagakure ninja army will come out, and those little rats scattered into the Land of Earth are no threat at all.

Unfortunately, he was thinking far too simply.

The Cloud Ninja, enhanced by gene-enhancing drugs, quickly inflicted heavy losses on the Iwagakure, a large but unevenly matched group of genin and cannon fodder.

By the time Onoki realized something was wrong, Iwagakure in the Land of Earth had already suffered nearly 2000 casualties.

The Land of Earth was also ravaged beyond recognition by the Hidden Cloud Village. Large numbers of civilians were taken away by the Hidden Cloud Village on ships. Even the Daimyo of the Land of Earth was alarmed and angrily rebuked Onoki.

It was only then that Onoki realized his mistake and hurriedly handed over command of the front lines to his son, Yotsuchi, before returning to the Land of Earth to take charge of the overall situation.

While the Naruto world was in complete chaos, Bitz and Liang Bing had already leisurely returned to Demon Wings in their flying vehicle with their spoils.

The aircraft landed steadily in the cool, icy castle. As the hatch opened, a blonde woman with her hands cuffed and an iron chain around her neck was pushed out first. After staggering a few steps, she stepped into the castle courtyard.

Tsunade looked up blankly at her surroundings. Since being captured and becoming that man's prisoner, she had been surprised countless times.

But looking at this magnificent castle floating quietly in the depths of space, she was so shocked that she forgot her current situation and could only stare blankly with her mouth agape, completely speechless.

"Move aside, don't block the way."

A hand behind her gave her a rude shove, pushing her aside.

Tsunade immediately snapped out of her reverie and turned to glare at him, but Bits completely ignored her, turning his back to her and giving orders to the people inside the hatch:

"Hurry up, everyone line up and come down."

At his command, one after another beautiful figures emerged from the aircraft.

Mei Terumi of the Hidden Mist, Kurotsuchi of the Hidden Rocks, Shizune and Tenten of the Hidden Leaf Village, Karin of the Hidden Grasses, and Konan of the Hidden Rain Village...

As the female ninjas disembarked from the aircraft one by one, Tsunade bit her lower lip tightly.

These people were all female ninjas who had been captured like her; some had arrived earlier than her, and some had arrived later.

Regardless, they were all bound like Tsunade, with their hands handcuffed and their chakra sealed. No matter how powerful they were as ninjas before, they were now just ordinary people.

In addition to these prisoners, female ninjas such as Sakura, Ino, and Hinata, who had long been corrupted and no longer needed restraint, also disembarked from the aircraft.

And among them is a very special one.

When a woman appeared wearing a long white robe with wide sleeves, pure white eyes, and a long horn with a nine-tomoe jade-like eye on her forehead.

She looked around in disbelief at first, but then quickly regained her composure.

"So that's how it is. You, too, came from the universe like me."

Ōtsutsuki Teruyuki looked at the man and woman who had rescued her from the seal, her tone tinged with surprise.

I humbly beg all my esteemed readers to give me more flowers and monthly tickets, and I desperately request that you urge me to update more frequently and provide rewards. I would be eternally grateful.

Chapter 164 Tsunade, you don't want to be corrupted either, do you?

Kaguya had always believed that her Otsutsuki clan was the only race in the world that could roam freely in the universe, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Liang Bing was quite interested in this progenitor of chakra, especially her ability to travel between different spaces.

She immediately patted Kaguya on the shoulder generously and said heartily:

"Don't be shy, make yourself at home here. Just tell me what you want, Your Majesty. I have plenty of good things."
