When Did the Cloud Village Ever Have Any Shame?

I surrender.

After Yugito uttered those words, Complete Form Tailed Beast in her body were immediately dispersed by her.

The Wood Human that was being controlled by Kanami and had its Yugito gripped suddenly shrank and fell to the ground.

Kanami, who was sensing the changes within his body, showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Does she have mind-reading abilities?

He thought to himself.

He was just pondering whether to test the Adamantine Sealing Chains or the First Hokage's Wood Release on Yugito when Yugito deactivated her Tailed Beast Transformation.

This made him wonder if he was being mind-read.

"Admit defeat?"

"Raikage has admitted defeat?"

"It must be Illusion Technique! When?!"

The already desperate Cloud Ninja behind them were now scratching their heads, wondering if they had fallen under Illusion Technique.

Their Cloud Village has Lightning Shadow generation after generation. Not to mention that every Lightning Shadow is the leader of one of the Five Great Nations, their overall national strength is also among the top three!

The name Lightning Shadow is synonymous with Brawler!

And today, they actually heard the word "defeat" from the Lightning Shadow's mouth.

"Admit defeat! Raikage, how could you say such a thing!"

"You must remember that even when the Fourth Raikage died in battle, he never said he wanted to admit defeat!"

"You think you're worthy to be our shadow?"

"I always said that fair skin plus a woman is a complete no-no!"

"I seriously suspect that if the Tailed Beast had sealed itself inside me back then, I would have been much more adept at playing the game than she was!"

The Cloud Ninja suddenly found an outlet for their pent-up emotions, and Yugito had just announced his defeat, was the perfect target for their attack.

They launched a furious verbal and written attack on the Yugito Nii.

Even though the Fourth Raikage had once humbled himself before Kanami and admitted his mistakes in front of everyone, they simply ignored that now.

They watched the outcome with numb indifference— the Fourth Raikage fought a bloody battle against the Konoha Ninja attack and ultimately died in battle.

Meanwhile, on Konoha's side, Kakashi and the others swallowed hard.

On their side, they didn't expend a single soldier; relying solely on Kanami, that red-haired youth single-handedly annihilated the entire Cloud Village army.

It wasn't just a physical crushing; this time, the destruction was far more thorough, even shattering the opponent's psychological defenses.

Kakashi and Elephant are considered top-tier fighters in Konoha, but when the real battle broke out, they seemed somewhat at a loss and unable to intervene.

The top-tier combat power of Konoha Jonin about the same as that of the opposing Chunin and Jonin; they can only watch and serve as a show of force.

The thought that Kanami was still Genin taking exams made their hearts clench even more.

"When did our Konoha's Genin become comparable to Kage-level shinobi...?"

Kakashi thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

The elephant, who hadn't spoken a word, had an expression beneath its mask that was almost identical to Kakashi's.

"We should have found more people to make Akira the Fifth Hokage!"

He thought to himself.

After witnessing Kanami's true abilities, he felt extreme remorse.

After all, the votes were tied at the time, and success would have been achieved by just one vote.

Even if the other party is unwilling, who knows if they will waver after experiencing the benefits of power?

The people in Konoha were reminded of the conflict that arose between the two advisors regarding the incident involving Kanami and the Hyuga Clan.

"If Kanami and the Hyuga Clan had betrayed the village and established their own independent forces back then, there might even be Six Great Nations now, right?"

Everyone felt a deep sense of unease.

I'm also glad about this; glad that one of the two stupid advisors was killed by Kanami, and the other was kicked off the stage early.

"Lord Darui is dead, and even Karui is dead. As the Lightning Shadow, you not only failed to avenge them, but you also admitted defeat! You've completely disgraced the Cloud Village!"

Hearing the ongoing cries of the Cloud Ninja's attack, Kanami frowned slightly, his expression displeased.

"When did your Cloud Village ever have any sense of shame?"
