Younger Raikage Dies! War Escalates! Hyuga Shin Becomes a Hero

Hyuga Shin was panting.

He... could no longer comprehend what was happening.

However.

He knew very well what he had to do.

Chakra wrapped around his hands, Hyuga Shin lifted Younger Raikage's body.

Though his steps were heavy, he moved forward, step by step!

"Miya...!"

Hyuga Shin returned.

Back to the battlefield!

At this moment, the Kumogakure forces and the Konoha forces were locked in battle, both sides suffering casualties, but the Konoha forces were already at a disadvantage.

Smoke and dust filled the scorched earth.

The Cloud Village Ninja suddenly stopped.

"Raikage...?"

As if a chain reaction, all the Cloud Ninja stopped fighting and looked nervously in that direction.

These powerful brutes began to show unease and fear on their faces.

Hyuga Shin's gaze swept across the battlefield like a sharp sword, sweeping over the shocked faces of both Konoha and Cloud ninjas.

His lips were pressed tightly together... but he knew that every second he delayed, his comrades might pay the price with their lives.

Finally, he took a deep breath, his voice cold and firm: "I defeated Raikage! Cloud Ninja, retreat! Otherwise, I will kill him!"

The next moment, Hyuga Shin forcefully choked Younger Raikage, and Younger Raikage's body twitched as if in pain!

The Kumogakure ninja found it hard to believe that Raikage could be defeated by a Hyuga ninja who was only Chunin level.

In just a few seconds, the Cloud commander, who valued the lives of his comrades, roared: "Don't do anything rash! We... we will retreat! Let Raikage go!"

Among the Konoha ninja.

Some began to withdraw, while others went to help up Uchiha Miya.

Uchiha Miya was severely injured, covered in blood. He had been defeated by Younger Raikage earlier and had fought continuously since then.

Commander Sarutobi had already fainted and was being carried away.

All Konoha Ninja on the field who were injured were taken away, and the bodies of those who died in battle... were also taken away by their comrades.

Uchiha Miya staggered past, taking a deep look at Hyuga Shin, who was gripping Raikage A's neck, as if seeing the goody-two-shoes of the Hyuga Family for the first time.

"All Konoha Ninja have evacuated! Let go of A!" the Cloud Village commander approached step by step.

The other Cloud Village Ninja also slowly moved closer, surrounding them.

"Don't come any closer! Or I'll kill him!" Hyuga Shin shouted.

Despite the tense situation, Hyuga Shin wasn't flustered at all, remaining incredibly calm from beginning to end. This was something even Hyuga Shin himself couldn't understand...

The Cloud Village Ninja were startled and dared not move.

"Do you want to break your promise!" the Cloud Village commander roared.

"No!" Hyuga Shin placed A on the ground. "I will retreat slowly. If you chase me, I will use a kunai to stab him to death from a distance."

As Hyuga Shin spoke, he took out a kunai and began to slowly retreat.

The other Cloud Village Ninja dared not act rashly.

Finally, Hyuga Shin suddenly turned, Chakra wrapping around his legs.

Death Leg, run fast!

Hyuga Shin sprinted away!

Afterward, a roar seemed to come from behind... but Hyuga Shin could no longer hear it clearly.

One day later.

Third Raikage A landed like a cannonball.

Countless dust clouds rose around him!

"Lord Raikage, my condolences!"

"No... no!" He pushed away the surrounding Cloud Village Ninja.

A burly man gritted his teeth and walked to a place covered by a white cloth.

Raikage A's hands began to tremble...

Finally, he lifted the cloth.

The pale corpse of his son, A, lay there.

"Lord Raikage... please accept my condolences!" The surrounding Cloud Ninja bowed deeply!

Filled with shame!

Raikage A's eyes were filled with tears, his voice trembling, "Tell me everything... from beginning to end..."

Then, a Cloud Ninja recounted everything to Raikage A.

"But..."

"When we tried to save Lord A... we discovered his heart had already stopped beating!"

"There were healed scars on his neck and chest!"

"Lord A didn't have the one on his neck before!"

"We suspect... we suspect that Lord A was stabbed through the chest, his heart crushed... then the enemy removed their hand, used Medical Ninjutsu to heal the chest wound, then healed the neck wound, and then... and then..."

"Continue!!"

"The enemy used Lightning Release Chakra to stimulate Lord A's body shortly after death... causing post-mortem reflexes, making us mistakenly believe Lord A was not dead!"

Raikage A's face turned ashen.

He stood there, staring at his son's corpse for a long time...

"Killer B!!" Raikage A suddenly roared.

Under a large tree not far away, a dejected figure sat there.

The Third Raikage charged over in anger, "Where were you! Where were you?!"

"Lord Raikage... it's my fault, kill me." Killer B offered no resistance!

He regarded A as his sworn brother!

That was his elder brother!

Killer B trusted his elder brother, believing A would win the battle.

It should have been like this... it should have been like this!!

A and Killer B were the A and B Combination, always attacking together against strong enemies.

However, the Information indicated that Konoha's top experts were not nearby.

It was A who had proactively suggested splitting up, confident he could handle a Konoha elite unit single-handedly!

Actually, according to Cloud Village's battle reports, the victory was indeed overwhelming at first!

A, by himself, severely injured several of Konoha Village's strongest ninjas!

Everything...

Started when A went to pursue that Hyuga ninja!

The Third Raikage stared intently at Killer B, then finally threw him to the ground.

At this moment.

A Cloud Ninja tremblingly approached: "Raikage-sama, we also found this note in A's clothes."

He then handed over the note and quickly retreated.

Raikage A opened the note.

The note read: Those who initiate invasion deserve to lose someone important.

Crackle!

Lightning Release Chakra surged out madly!

Burning the note into black ash.

"Konoha Village..."

"I will make you pay with blood!"

The Third Raikage's eyes were bloodshot and crimson!

He not only wanted to kill that damned Hyuga ninja!

He also wanted to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi's son... Asuma Sarutobi!!

"Next, the war will further expand."

"And the Third Raikage, this strongest Raikage, will probably want to kill Asuma Sarutobi for revenge..."

"Old dog Sarutobi, this is a small gift I'm sending you."

In the Sea of Corpses and Blood.

Su Nuo propped his chin with one hand.

He relied on his Reverse Cursed Technique, his ability to easily heal grievous injuries, and his ninjutsu-free instant slashes to catch the Younger Raikage completely off guard.

After the Younger Raikage was gravely injured, Su Nuo had the opportunity to spare his life.

At this time, the war had just broken out.

If Su Nuo had used the Third Hokage's son as a bargaining chip, perhaps he could have strangled the war in its cradle, and Konoha would have returned to peace, thus avoiding the subsequent siege by three ninja villages.

But...

Why would he do that?

Wouldn't war provide more souls for him to absorb?
