Sasuke, who was hiding in the dark, also condensed his eyes slightly.

In his memory, the first time Naruto used Rasenshuriken was three years later.

As for the Naruto in front of him, the speed of condensing Rasenshuriken is more than twice as fast as the Naruto in his time and space, and his movements are smooth and smooth without any sluggishness.

In addition to the Light Release he has never seen before, maybe Naruto in this time and space really does not need him to worry about Urashiki.

The three ANBU hiding in the dark had completely forgotten to breathe at this time.

From the attack by Naruto to the sneak attack on Raikage, to the group destruction of the elite team of Cloud Shinobi, and then to the head-on confrontation with Fourth Raikage, they squatted stiffly in the canopy where they were hiding, their mouths opened and closed, closed and opened again, unable to say a single word.

This is Naruto Jōnin, Direct Jōnin who was personally promoted by Lord Hokage.

On the battlefield at the foot of the mountain, Rasenshuriken has been condensed.

Naruto stood there holding Rasenshuriken, looking straight at Ai who was kneeling on one knee dozens of meters away.

Ai's Lightning Release Chakra is already much weaker than at the beginning, the blue electric light is no longer beating so densely, and his breathing rhythm is also closely followed by Naruto.

But Naruto didn't rush to take action. He just let Rasenshuriken continue to spin at high speed in the palm of his hand and waited.

A, who was surrounded by a group of Shadow Clone Technique in the center, stared at the Rasenshuriken in Naruto's hand, with veins on his forehead pulsing.

He could clearly feel the Wind-Nature Chakra density contained therein.

What a terrifying wind type Chakra, you must not be hit by this thing.

That thought flashed clearly in Ai's mind.

He quickly assessed the current situation and concluded that the mission to infiltrate Konoha had completely failed.

There is no chance of winning if he continues to fight. The elite team has been broken. hope and Darui have both fallen. His own Chakra has also bottomed out in continuous battles.

Staying will only increase meaningless casualties.

We must withdraw, re-plan this operation, return to Hidden Cloud Village to communicate with Tsuchikage, and if necessary, declare war directly on Konoha.

Ai has already thought of a retreat plan.

As long as Naruto's attention is focused on the attack at the moment when he launches Rasenshuriken, those Shadow Clone Technique will also enter a short-term standby state because the main body is about to release a large amount of Ninjutsu. He will use that time difference to speed up and break through from the side.

He still has the last bit of confidence in his Lightning Release Chakra Mode. If he sprints with all his strength, those Shadow Clone Technique should not be able to catch up with him.

Ai slowly lifted his center of gravity from his knees and adjusted himself into a posture ready to explode at any time, his eyes firmly locked on the movements of Naruto in the distance.

His perception is fully activated, ready to catch Naruto's forward swing when he raises his hand to throw.

The soles of the feet have been secretly filled with Lightning Release Chakra, ready to explode at any time.

But he didn't notice that there was a tiny red five-pointed star pattern on the sole of his right foot.

The next moment, Naruto's figure disappeared from mid-air without any warning, and appeared directly in front of Ai without even a trace of Chakra fluctuation.

Rasenshuriken pressed against A's chest, the blue and white wind blades spinning wildly, reflected in A's suddenly enlarged pupils.

"How is that possible!"

Ai's pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints.

He concentrated on locking every movement of Naruto. No matter how fast the opponent moved, there should be traces to follow.

But there was no warning, no acceleration, and no movement trajectory. It was like jumping directly from one coordinate to another.

This was exactly the same as that man back then. One second he was far away and the next second he appeared in front of him.

This is that man's Space-Time Ninjutsu!

Raikage figured everything out in an instant, but it was already too late.

A instinctively gathers the whole body Lightning Release Chakra between the chest and abdomen to form the final defense. The muscles are as hard as steel plates under the activation of Lightning Release.

Rasenshuriken hit Ai's chest firmly.

Boom!!

A huge white storm sphere suddenly exploded at Ai's location, and countless fine wind blades rotated and cut wildly with Shuriken as the center, twisting everything within the scope of the storm into pieces.

All materials involved in the storm were torn into powder by the wind blade in an instant.

The roar of the storm echoed throughout the night sky.

Boruto was lying on the edge of the mountain, holding his hands on the ground, his eyes locked on the battlefield where smoke and dust were swirling below.

Most of the storm at the center of the explosion had dissipated, and the remaining wind blades picked up broken soil and broken branches and threw them into the sky several times before slowly dissipating.

The moonlight shone back on the plowed ground, revealing pits of varying depths and cracks extending radially in all directions.

Sasuke in the dark narrowed his eyes slightly.

ANBU in the bushes in the distance.

The eyeholes of the mask reflected the smoke and moonlight as the battlefield gradually subsided, and the eyes were all staring in the same direction.

The middle one ANBU's throat moved and he swallowed.

The wind on the battlefield completely stopped.

The storm dissipated, and the dazzling light gradually faded back into the night.

Naruto released Shadow Clone Technique, and all the clones still on the field turned into white smoke and disappeared.

He stepped on gravel and scorched earth to the center of the explosion, and looked down at Fourth Raikage A lying on the ground.

At this time, Ai closed his eyes tightly, and the scar on his chest from being hit by Rasenshuriken was shocking.

The blood spread from the sternum to the ribs, and the skin was covered with countless fine wind blade cuts, varying in depth, with white bones vaguely visible in the deepest ones.

Occasionally, a faint flash of thunder and lightning flashed around him, and the electric arc danced feebly on his bronze skin for a few times, then extinguished.

The whole person was breathing in and out, and the rise and fall of the chest was so weak that it was almost invisible.

If Lightning Release Chakra Mode hadn't used extreme density to strengthen his physical defense at the last moment, this blow would have been enough to chop his entire body into pieces at the molecular level.

"As expected of Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he could withstand a single shot of Rasenshuriken with his own body and not die immediately. Not many people in the entire Shinobi World can achieve this level of physique and defense."

After Naruto finished speaking, he glanced at A again, then turned his head and shouted in the distance, "ANBU!"

Three figures flashed, and three ANBU appeared in front of Naruto.

After they landed, their eyes couldn't help but glance back and forth at the devastated battlefield and the tragic situation of A, and their Adam's apples rolled together.

"Clean up the battlefield and move Raikage and his two personal guards together. Don't let them get separated."

"Yes!"

The three immediately divided the work.

A ANBU quickly walked towards the rock in the distance that was only half blown away, and dragged the unconscious hope out of the rubble.

Nozomi was not dead, but was knocked unconscious by the shock wave blasted by Shadow Clone Technique's laser. She suffered many burns on her body and was still breathing well.

Another ANBU came to the rubble pile and dug Darui out of it. Darui was in worse condition than Hee. Two ribs on his chest were kicked and broken.

The two were moved by ANBU to lie next to Ai.

None of these three people Naruto killed anyone.

It's not that he is soft-hearted, he kept the lives of the three people for practical purposes.

Raikage is the supreme leader of Kumogakure, and the two personal guards are also the core figures of Hidden Cloud Village. These three people are ready-made bargaining chips in the hands of Konoha.

Externally, you can talk to Hidden Cloud Village about the armistice agreement, compensation, and border re-demarcation.

Internally, it can also suppress the voice of Hidden Cloud Village's main war faction.

Three living political resources are much more useful than three corpses.

As for the ten elites Cloud Shinobi, they have no such luck.
