Whoosh--
A cheer suddenly erupted from the valley.
This match was so exciting that everyone in the audience held their breath and there was no room for discussion.
I was afraid of missing a single moment.
As the duel ended, the audience cheered loudly.
Kitsuchi's extraordinary Earth Release technique and Baki's steadfastness earned the villagers of Kumogakure's recognition of these two individuals.
Halfway up the mountain, Hagoromo Kazekage at Feng Ying with her eyes lowered.
This guy is really good at enduring things.
However, if Kitsuchi hadn't been so uninterested, Baki Ji would probably have lost his life there.
Moreover, they were still thinking of using such a vicious scheme at the very last moment.
Didn't you see that Ōnoki's face was now extremely pale? He had only glanced at Rasa before falling silent again.
If Kitsuchi hadn't been unwilling to kill Baki, perhaps Rasa would have used this incident to confront Ōnoki right now?
Of those people halfway up the mountain, who's a fool?
Ōnoki and the Fourth Raikage glanced at Rasa with disdain, while the Shadow Guard Unit behind them wore solemn expressions.
After all, it's astonishing that a tyrant from an enemy village could be so ruthless.
This is not a good thing for them.
While this kind of operation isn't unusual, using it here is somewhat shameless.
On the contrary, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed oblivious, still wearing a cheerful expression.
However, based on Hagoromo's understanding of her old man...
It's highly likely that Rasa has already noted it down in Hiruzen Sarutobi's notebook.
Although the alliance was just a contract, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want the other side to be a despicable person who acted without restraint regardless of the situation.
Rasa, sitting on the stone chair, had a gloomy expression; he was just a hair's breadth away from it.
And as the son of the Tsuchikage, how could he be so soft-hearted! Useless!
At the foot of the mountain, Kitsuchi clenched his fist, looked at Baki was slumped in his seat, and then turned to look at the mountainside shrouded in thin clouds.
She couldn't help but sigh, and slowly said, "Someone will come to pick you up for treatment soon."
Baki didn't respond, staring blankly at the Sunagakure Forehead Protector in front of him.
Seeing this, Kitsuchi Tu stood still, waiting for the Kumogakure's medical personnel to arrive.
He didn't want to be burdened with unfounded hatred.
Kitsuchi only lifted his foot when the healers from Kumogakure rushed over.
"The winds of Sunagakure aren't unable to move the mountains of Iwagakure; it's just that I'm too weak..."
The soft words came from behind the Kitsuchi.
Kitsuchi Tu glanced at it sideways, but did not respond. Then, he floated lightly towards the mountainside.
Once on the viewing platform, Kitsuchi walked directly towards Ōnoki.
Seeing his son like this, Ōnoki's expression finally improved.
At least, the Sunagakure's plot failed; it was just too disgusting.
"What a magnificent battle! Tsuchikage, you have a worthy successor."
Hiruzen Sarutobi then spoke with a chuckle.
"Hokage flatter me, Hokage. It's just that sometimes you have to be careful when looking for allies."
Ōnoki, however, completely rejected Hiruzen Sarutobi's praise and seized the opportunity to speak sarcastically.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, however, seemed oblivious to what Ōnoki had said, and continued to smile.
"Hokage, now it's our turn to fight."
The Fourth Raikage, standing to the side, propped his head up with his right hand and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed to the towering rock formations and the dilapidated foothills on the screen.
He said slowly, "At least you should tidy up the venue, okay?"
The Fourth Raikage A, scoffed and said dismissively, "It's just a small matter."
Samui, who was standing on the wall, took out another signal flare from his ninja tool pouch behind him and fired it into the sky.
At the foot of the mountain, the Kumogakure Squad, having received the signal, filed in from the entrance.
He then used Lightning Release clear the ground, leaving Hagoromo speechless.
Is this using Lightning Release as a plow?
In just over ten minutes, not only the dilapidated ground but also the rock layers that had just been exposed to the Kitsuchi were completely cleared away.
On the screen, you can see that the foot of the mountain, which used to have some greenery, has now become a barren wasteland.
"Hokage, are you satisfied now?"
The Fourth Raikage A, asked.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Hiruzen Sarutobi casually, puffing on his pipe.
"Good!"
The Fourth Raikage A, stood up excitedly and declared loudly, "Then this round will be played by my brother!"
"That means Killer B is entering the arena as a contestant!"
The Fourth Raikage's voice carried far and wide-ranging...
Whoosh--
"Lord Killer B!"
"Raikage is mighty!"
"Oh? I remember this is your partner and sworn brother, Raikage?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored the fact that the Fourth Raikage A's voice had already echoed throughout the entire arena and casually asked a question.
"That's right, but Killer B is also a member of my Shadow Guard Unit. If the Hokage doesn't believe me, I can show you his appointment report."
The Fourth Raikage, as if it were true, spoke to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Oh···"
Hiruzen Sarutobi lightly; such a trick was truly despicable.
Shisui and Kakashi, standing behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, both thought of taking a step forward at the same time.
Snap--
Both of them were patted on the shoulder at the same time, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look.
With a relaxed expression, Hagoromo addressed Kakashi and Shisui, saying:
"You two, you're not allowed to steal my opponent!"
Kakashi frowned, while Shisui spoke directly, "Lord Hagoromo! I have—"
Snap--
Hagoromo gave Shisui a playful slap on the forehead. "Kotoamatsukami isn't some common item."
Why do you immediately want to say it as soon as you open your mouth?
Moreover, couldn't a cooling-off period of over ten years be used for other purposes?
When Shisui was used on Danzo last time, Hagoromo already disagreed.
"Alright, if I don't go, there will be plenty of reasons for me to go later."
Hagoromo spoke up, then patted Kakashi and Shisui on the shoulders, signaling them to step back.
He turned to Hiruzen Sarutobi and said, "Old man, shall I go on stage then?"
"Yes, go ahead and show Konoha's might."
Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and nodded. Hagoromo's strength remained a mystery.
After all, he had already made Jiraiya and Hagoromo fight before they left the village.
Without a doubt, Jiraiya couldn't defeat Hagoromo, and Hagoromo didn't even use the technique that injured the Eight-Tails.
No problem~
A smile appeared on Hagoromo's lips, and then she leaped into the air.
As I passed Samui, I glanced at it as well.
Tsk tsk--
Hagoromo's Chakra surged, and he plummeted down the mountainside at high speed, landing on his feet.
Viewers watching this scene on screen gasped in shock.
That's suicidal!
Rumble--
As Hagoromo's feet touched the ground, the earth at the foot of the mountain cracked instantly, and stones scattered everywhere, with Hagoromo as the center point.
Countless wide cracks spread out like a spider web, and the ground that had just been smoothed by Lightning Release collapsed directly.
The crack shot towards the mountainside with a thunderous roar.
The entire valley seemed to have experienced an earthquake; not only the audience seats, but even Raikage and the others halfway up the mountain felt a tremor.
Caught off guard, I almost fell over, and several tiny cracks appeared in the stone chair behind me.
Only Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others remained unharmed, with Hiruzen Sarutobi even smiling and smoking his pipe.
Kakashi and Shisui stared in fear at the small crack that had appeared beside them.
Livestock!
