But from beginning to end, Hyuga Sho never appeared.
Well, A was unconscious. Whether he woke up or not, he still couldn't see the invisible Hyuga Sho.
And so...
The Land of Lightning could only issue another verbal condemnation of Konoha.
But that accomplished nothing.
After all, Hyuga Sho had already become an internationally wanted S-rank Rogue Ninja.
"The enemy possesses immense individual combat power and the ability to appear and disappear without a trace..."
Ōnoki analyzed the situation.
The power Arthas had displayed was far more frightening than the initial intelligence had suggested.

Even though Kumogakure possessed the Heavenly Transfer Technique, they couldn't use it casually.

The situation in Kumogakure left Tsunade extremely anxious.
Yugito Nii was a Perfect Jinchuriki, yet the enemy
