Where's Lord Hokage? Talk Some Sense into Him!

"Dust Release: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!"

"Zheng--"

A white, transparent cube was launched from Ōnoki's hand, directly trapping the Ninja who had just spoken inside.

"That's the Third Tsuchikage's Dust Release?!"

The Ninja's face immediately showed terror.

"Chief, save me!"

However, Pain's Deva Path from beginning to end, not even bothering to turn his head.

"Zzz--"

In an instant, everything inside the cube was broken down into atomic states.

The Ninja among them was completely gone, as if he had been evaporated or stripped away from this world.

"Now you know to call me the Third Tsuchikage- sama?"

Ōnoki floated in the air, looking down as he spoke.

After speaking, he glanced at Pain's Deva Path, and seeing that the other party did not move at all, he showed a slight disdain.

This is his strength, the confidence that allows him to go to the front lines of battle even at the age of seventy.

"Gulp."

The Black Ghost Ninja in front swallowed hard, not daring to breathe.

He was terrified that he would suffer the same fate as the Ninja from before.

Damn it, how could he even think of yelling at Ōnoki!

What an idiot! He's going to ruin me!

If you're not afraid of death, go make your own Zisha pottery. Damn it, why are you provoking Tsuchikage here?

Do you really think the leader can protect you? That's Kekkei Tōta, Dust Release!

Many Ninja cursed inwardly.

On the contrary, no one dared to express any dissatisfaction with Ōnoki's killing of that Ninja. This was because the strength was too overwhelming, so much so that they could not feel hatred in their hearts, but rather fear.

"Tsuchikage-sama, that shout he just made..."

Kitsuchi came up and asked with a slightly worried expression.

His concerns were not unfounded. Ōnoki nodded. "I understand. With such a loud noise, no one from Konoha came out. Even though it's usually when everyone is asleep, how could there not even be a single guard Ninja?"

"It must be that someone leaked the news."

He had anticipated the leak and had taken steps to prevent it, but to his surprise, it was all in vain and the news still got out.

"It doesn't matter. Those barbarians from Cloud Village are unreliable to begin with, even though many have already pledged allegiance to us."

The Vanguard Army behind Ōnoki consisted of Elite Ninja from Iwagakure. As for the barbarian Ninja from Cloud Village, they were still traveling behind. Of course, they were led by Iwagakure Ninja, otherwise Ōnoki wouldn't have felt comfortable letting them follow behind.

What if it turns around and runs away?

Ōnoki looked at Kitsuchi and instructed, "Adapt to the situation. If we are forced to launch a direct attack, wait for the Yun barbarians to catch up. They should be here soon. Using a large number of Super Lightweight Rock Technique on them will be very effective."

After saying that, he turned to Pain's Deva Path and asked, "What's wrong, God? Not planning to go all in?"

Pain's Deva Path slowly spoke, "Who do you think you are? Killing your own Ninja on the eve of war?"

He was not afraid of Ōnoki at all.

Dust Release is powerful, but he hasn't actually used it in a real fight. Who knows if his Shinra Tensei can break through Dust Release?

While the two of them were exchanging barbs, the Ninja hidden inside the walls of Konoha Village were all speechless.

No, you've come to chat at the entrance of our village, haven't you?

They're not even going to attack; they're so cowardly, yet they still manage a sneak attack?

After the village went into full combat readiness, the Village Entrance entrance was deliberately left unguarded. Since there was Barrier Ninjutsu covering the entire village, and they knew the enemy was coming to attack, there was no need for Guardian God.

Numerous Konoha Ninja were lying in ambush, waiting for them to swagger into the village so they could capture them in one fell swoop.

"How long do you think they'll keep arguing?"

"Who would have thought that someone with internal discord would dare to launch an invasion? They're practically courting death! Our Konoha Village is currently guarded by three Tailed Beast! And we have only a handful of Super Kage shinobi!"

"Only a handful? Brother, that doesn't sound quite right. That phrase suddenly makes the tone less imposing?"

"Never mind that, as long as Konoha is awesome, that's all that matters!"

"That's true."

Several Ninja were chatting idly.

This is also a good way for them to prevent themselves from getting sleepy.

Meanwhile, Kanami, observing Ōnoki and Pain's Deva Path from among the Hyuga Clan members, muttered to himself, "If this drags on..."

Upon hearing Kanami's words, Hyuga Hiashi's heart skipped a beat. "What will happen if this drags on?"

"It will disturb my sleep."

"Ah??"

Seeing his blank expression, Kanami continued, "You mean if this continues, it will affect my rest?"

Hyuga Hiashi:???

The Hyuga clan members behind Hyuga Hiashi:????

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

Hyuga Hiashi lowered his voice and accused Kanami: "No, with such a serious situation, how can you still have the mind to make jokes like this?"

"No, I'm not joking. We really can't delay any longer; sleep is essential for life."

Kanami responded earnestly.

No one else could understand what kind of days he and Hinata Hyuga; they certainly weren't getting enough sleep.

Tenten, besides eating and sleeping, all I do is...

Therefore, it can't be made up for, it's simply impossible to make up for it!

If it weren't for the fact that people in this Shinobi World don't like to drink water, Kanami would have bought a thermos and brewed some goji berries with it.

It may not work, but it's always good to give it a try.

Meanwhile, outside, Pain's Deva Path and Ōnoki continued their bickering.

Kanami shook his head slightly and stepped forward.

Just then, Hyuga Hiashi grabbed him. "Don't go, it might be a trap!"

Hinata Hyuga nodded in agreement, "That's right, I think Father is right. Why would a large group of Ninja gather outside and start fighting amongst themselves? They must be trying to find a way to let us stand out first."

Kanami smiled, took Hyuga Hiashi's hand and put it back. "I know, of course I know it might be a trap, but I'll treat it as one anyway. Don't worry, just watch me break it."

All the Ninja:???

Someone stop him! He's going to his death!

Where's the Lord Hokage? Come out and talk to him!

They didn't want Kanami to just walk out. Although they all knew to some extent that Kanami was one of the village's top fighters, they still thought that Kanami's behavior was just Brawler.

It's like the other person has already opened their pockets wide, and instead of avoiding them, you just walk right into them!

At least from the perspective of these Ninja, that's how Kanami acted.

"Kanami... why don't you just bear with it a little longer?"

"Yes, let's wait for the Lord Hokage's orders. Otherwise, it seems the Lord Hokage will be here soon..."

"Exactly! Even if you know it's a trap, you can't just rush in. Wouldn't that be underestimating them?"

It was obvious that the Ninja wanted to scold him for being arrogant and conceited, but after thinking about it, he decided to use these words to persuade Kanami.

Faced with the Ninja ' advice, Kanami smiled calmly, "I can endure it, but my biological clock can't."

Feng An's Flying Thunder God Technique was activated instantly.

"Bass!"

In an instant, he appeared alone atop the signboard at the Konoha Village Entrance, looking down at the dense mass of Ninja before him.

"What's all the noise about here? Can't you let me sleep?"
