Truce

When the Cloud Shinobi's logistics troops brought out the Laser Cannon, Dodai immediately ordered, "Aim all these Laser Cannons at the Konoha Ninja and let them try out the ninja tools researched by our Hidden Cloud Village's Technology Department."

Upon hearing Dodai's words, the logistics troops from Hidden Cloud Village immediately shouted, "Yes, sir! Dodai!"

Immediately, these thirty-odd Laser Cannon were aimed directly at the Konoha positions.

The logistics minister immediately shouted, "Give them a good beating! Eliminate these Konoha Ninja!"

The logistics personnel immediately began loading fuel into the cannon barrel, and then the firing crew pulled the trigger. With a deafening roar, the laser beams, like advanced Ninjutsu, shot directly towards the Konoha Ninja's position.

These Laser Cannon are roughly equivalent to B-rank Ninjutsu in power, but they fire at a very high speed. Each shot only requires refilling with explosive fuel before it can fire at Konoha's positions.

The Hidden Cloud Village has a particular fondness for ninja tools like cannons; they even created a laser cannon capable of hitting the moon during the Otsutsuki Toneri arc!

Meanwhile, on Konoha's battlefield, a large number of Konoha Ninja were still pursuing the fleeing Cloud Shinobi. Even Kakashi used Wind Release: Vacuum Great Barrage, continuously unleashing wind blades to inflict maximum damage on the Cloud Shinobi.

Genma Shiranui spat out his own Senbon, which, like a bullet, instantly killed a Cloud Shinobi. He then shouted, "Wind Release: Hurricane Great Ball!"

After Genma Shiranui finished shouting, he opened his mouth and suddenly spat out a huge wind blade.

The Hurricane Vacuum Great Sphere is an A-rank Wind Release Ninjutsu, and also Shimura Danzō's final gift to Konoha. This wind blade, like a giant tornado, swept directly towards the fleeing Cloud Shinobi.

Another Konoha expert, Kumo-ma, immediately seized the opportunity. Watching the fleeing Cloud Ninja, he laughed and shouted, "Trying to run, you Mountain Barbarians! When the cannon comes, be prepared to die. I'll show you what Wind Release Ninjutsu is all about!"

After saying that, the Cloud Shinobi Hand Seals and shouted, "Wind Release: Great Vacuum Sphere!" Then, he formed a hand Hand Seals with one hand and shouted, "Fire Release: Intelligent Hard Work!"

Kumo-ma first unleashed a massive spiral of air at the Cloud Ninja, then followed it with a colossal sea of fire.

The sea of fire, propelled by the swirling air currents, burned directly towards the Cloud Shinobi.

Wind Release: Great Vacuum Sphere is only B-rank Ninjutsu, Fire Release: Searing Migraine is also B-rank Ninjutsu, but both of these Ninjutsu are area-of-effect Ninjutsu, and once combined, the power of Intelligent Hard Work will be multiplied.

Fire Release: Intelligent Hard Work was Ninjutsu that Kakuzu provided Kakuzu Qingcheng, who then distributed it Qingcheng the Konoha Ninja, placing it directly in the Ninjutsu Learning Room for them to learn.

The Wind Release: Great Vacuum Sphere type of Ninjutsu all originated from the Shimura Clan. Qingcheng has squeezed every Danzo of value from Danzo! He's placed all of their clan's Ninjutsu in the Hokage Building's training room, offering them free of charge to Konoha's civilian ninjas. It can be said that the Shimura Clan is entirely loyal and devoted.

Qingcheng also marked, "Wind Release: Great Vacuum Sphere Ninjutsu, all of these are Uchiha Clan Ninjutsu. I, Uchiha Qingcheng, am giving them to you to learn. Once you've mastered our Uchiha Clan's Ninjutsu, you must become a true fan of our Uchiha Clan!"

It turns out that the Konoha Ninja are basically all true fans of the Uchiha Clan. No one speaks ill of the Uchiha Clan in private, and no one dares to. If any Uchiha Clan Anbu Ninja discovers this, they're sent to Black Factory to work as undocumented laborers.

Darui looked at the heavily damaged Cloud Shinobi, his face filled with anger, and then at the massive sea of fire that was directly attacking him.

Darui, his face contorted with rage, exclaimed, "Is this still Fire Release Ninjutsu? It's practically a sea of fire Ninjutsu!" He then quickly Hand Seals and shouted, "Water Release: Water Wall Formation!"

Some Cloud Shinobi knew Water Release Ninjutsu also began forming hand Hand Seals and shouted, "Water Release: Water Wall Formation!"

Then a large number of Water Release appeared, extinguishing the Fire Release. (Intelligent Hard Work, diligently...)

Looking at the huge plume of white smoke, Darui shouted again, "Everyone, retreat quickly! Watch out for the Konoha Ninja's Wind Release Ninjutsu!"

Just then, a barrage of Laser Cannon fired, followed by deafening explosions. The Laser Cannon blasted dozens of massive craters into the ground.

Some Konoha Ninja, unaware of the sky, were directly hit by the Laser Cannon and instantly became corpses, falling directly to the ground.

Seeing the Laser Cannon, Darui knew that Dodai was starting to provide support, and shouted again, "Run that way, get out of Konoha's lines first!"

Kakashi looked up at the sky and fired several more laser projectiles, shouting, "Everyone, watch out for the sky! Make sure to dodge these Laser Cannons!"

After saying that, Kakashi immediately Hand Seals and shouted, "Purple Electricity. Senbon!"

Immediately, the purple lightning transformed into a multitude of lightning rods. Kakashi flicked them towards the sky, sending the purple lightning rods Laser Cannon.

Another deafening roar followed, with plumes of black smoke billowing from the sky and purple lightning exploding.

Kakashi watched as Darui and the fleeing Cloud Shinobi reunited with Toroi's Magnet Release team, realizing he had lost his chance to pursue them.

Kakashi then immediately called out, "Everyone, return to camp and rest to recover your Chakra. One team will stay behind to clean up the battlefield."

Meanwhile, Dodai and the others, seeing that Darui and the others had returned, shouted with serious expressions, "Let's retreat to our camp first. Today's battle ends here. We have already lost a lot of ninjas. It's all Achina's fault. If he hadn't been so reckless, this wouldn't have happened."

Darui's Chakra was almost depleted, and he said wearily, "These Konoha Ninja are not only proficient in Water Release Ninjutsu, but also in Wind Release Ninjutsu. Their Water Release Ninjutsu is even more powerful than that of the Hidden Mist Village, and they are all simplified Hand Seals, making them fast to release and powerful in attack."

Yugito's legs buckled, and he collapsed to the ground, looking utterly disheveled. "Their Lightning Release Ninjutsu was purple, and its destructive power was terrifying! And their Water Release Ninjutsu and Wind Release Ninjutsu were just too horrible. They completely overwhelmed me. If Darui hadn't arrived quickly, you wouldn't even have seen me!"

Looking at the Konoha's position, Dodai said with a self-reproachful expression, "We underestimated these Konoha Ninja. Their overall strength has improved by leaps and bounds compared to before, especially that terrifying Water Release Ninjutsu. With just four hand seals, they can unleash a massive tsunami. They even learned it from the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju."

All the Cloud Ninja lowered their heads, their faces filled with lingering fear, and they all said, "Why don't we stop the war? Let's not start a war with Konoha."

Looking at the hesitant Cloud Ninja, Dodai said with a serious expression, "Don't be afraid, everyone. Lord Raikage will be here soon. He's bringing Killer B along with a large group of elite ninjas. Victory will definitely be ours, Hidden Cloud Village!"
