Legendary Battle Record
The news that Konoha and Kirigakure had made peace and that the war had ended spread rapidly from the Land of Whirlpools to the Shinobi World.
Wherever the news spread, everyone was shocked!
The Kirigakure's strength is simply heaven-defying.
They defeated Sunagakure and Iwagakure, and even managed to draw with Konoha.
That's incredible!
"If you ask me, the reason they achieved such a record is because their commander, that man named White Cold Light, is too strong."
"It is said that he defeated the Ino-Shika-Cho, Kakashi Hatake, Hyuga Hiashi, and even the Third Hokage was no match for him and was captured alive!"
"Wow! That powerful? Then he's invincible! Even the Third Hokage wasn't his match, who else could fight him?"
"My God, he's only thirteen years old (by Chinese reckoning), and he's already invincible? How terrifying will he be when he grows up?"
Many people feel that the Shinobi World may be about to change!
This man named Ye Liangnai is truly becoming a shadow looming over them.
"What? Konoha has also lost?"
The first to know the news was naturally the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who was completely stunned!
"How could he lose? Could it be that even Konoha couldn't stop him? How can he be so strong?!"
"Then won't the rules we set really collapse?"
The thought of their established rule—that ninjas must not violate the consequences of disrupting national politics—sent a chill down his spine and made him feel uneasy.
He suddenly felt that everyone around him might harm him!
His personal safety is no longer guaranteed.
The daimyo of the Land of Earth and the Feudal Lord of the Land of Wind, too, went from having high expectations to being disappointed.
Then, just like the daimyo of the Land of Fire, he began to worry and fret.
While they were worrying, some people with similar ideas began to emerge in many small countries.
Since the existing order may be disrupted, perhaps their opportunity has arrived!
Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?
If others can become rulers, why can't we?
At the same time!
On a certain road in the Land of Lightning!
"Boss, are we just going to leave like this? We could have wiped out the Kumogakure!"
"Why leave us with such a formidable enemy!"
"Since we've already offended them to death, why leave any potential problems behind?"
Zetsu followed behind Pain, licking his lips and speaking in a bloody voice.
"Zetsu, I'm warning you, we are not a violent organization, and we have never intended to destroy any ninja village!"
"Destroying Kumogakure will inevitably throw the Shinobi World out of balance, causing Shinobi World and completely contradicting our principles!"
I advise you to abandon this dangerous idea!
Pain stared coldly at Zetsu, issuing a warning.
That look in his eyes left no doubt that if Jue disobeyed his orders for the time being, he would kill him!
Jue could only shrug and sink into the ground, feeling utterly foolish.
"We've obtained quite a few interesting puppet materials this time; we can study them carefully!"
Beside him, Sasori of the Red Sands said excitedly.
"Speaking of Zero Burial, Kirigakure is so powerful, shouldn't we curb that brat named Ye Liangnai?"
"If it grows beyond our expectations, it will be detrimental to the implementation of your plan!"
Kakuzu spoke up from the side, offering a serious analysis.
"It's alright, there's no need! No matter how strong he is, he can't possibly stand against me, who possesses Power of a God!"
"By the way, Tobi, how's the task of inviting new members going?"
"Would you like to join us, you man named Itachi Uchiha?"
Pain looked at the Masked Man, Tobi, who was making a fuss beside him, and asked.
"He's already waiting at the base, boss. You can trust me to handle things!"
Tobi spoke with great glibness, but judging from the thoughtful look in his eyes, he seemed to be thinking about something else.
"That's good!"
Pain's attitude towards Tobi was relatively friendly, and it had always been so.
This made Kakuzu and Sasori of the Red Sands somewhat strange.
What merit or ability does Tobi possess to deserve such special treatment from Pain?
But they were too lazy to ask!
"Heh heh, Itachi Uchiha, huh? Interesting!"
At that moment, a hoarse voice rang out.
This was a pale-faced man with bewitching eyeshadow, chilling snake-like eyes, dressed in white clothes, and with large knotted ropes on his back.
It turns out to be one of the Sannin, the Cold-Hearted Orochimaru!
"Hehe, two Konoha Ninja, I'm looking forward to the day you meet!" Zetsu popped up again, teasingly.
Upon hearing this, everyone glanced at Orochimaru before continuing on their way.
Kumogakure!
There is no trace of the grandeur of one of the Five Great Ninja Villages here; all that remains is desolation and ruins.
The Fourth Raikage sat atop some ruins, receiving treatment.
He, who was known for his defensive skills, had several wounds on his chest.
He has knife wounds, stab wounds, and burns from explosions.
Some of them are even fatal.
Behind him, Killer B, the Eight-Tails, lay on the ground, weak and with many wounds on his body.
After that, groups of Cloud Ninja either injured or killed, and the entire Kumogakure was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.
"Damn Akatsuki Organization, one day I will destroy you!!!"
"And there's that White Cold Light. I won't let you get away with this."
"I will immediately send troops to join forces with Konoha to encircle and annihilate you. I will not be able to quell my hatred until you are killed!"
The Fourth Raikage, seemingly remembering something, suddenly unleashed terrifying lightning from his body and roared to the sky.
"Pfft! Pfft! Sizzle!"
His wounds immediately reopened, and blood instantly stained the bandages.
Seeing this, the surrounding medical staff quickly shouted, "Lord Raikage, please calm down! The wound has reopened!"
Upon hearing this, Raikage's lightning slowly dissipated, but his aura remained heavy, like that of a ferocious beast. His eyes were filled with terrifying killing intent and anger, making people feel apprehensive.
It's no wonder he's like this. If we knew what he'd been through, we might understand him.
Because of the Akatsuki Organization, their Kumogakure lost two thousand elites within three days.
More than 3,000 people were injured, and it was almost impossible to find anyone unharmed in the entire Kumogakure.
It can be said that the already limited number of young people in Kumogakure were basically wiped out after the wars with Kirigakure and Akatsuki Organization.
That leaves only Darui to carry the load!
That's not all. Of the more than two thousand people who were lost, several hundred were taken away by Sasori of the Red Sands Orochimaru.
The Raikage is so frustrated!
He can't even protect the corpses of his own men; he's such a failure as Raikage!
If that's all there is to it, then so be it.
What drove him even more crazy was that if it weren't for the cleverness of the Eight-Tails Fox, it would have replaced him with a tentacle.
It's likely that Killer B is already dead because his Tailed Beast was extracted.
This battle almost brought their Kumogakure to the brink of collapse. Can you imagine how angry the Raikage must be!
And all of this originated from Ye Liangnai!
