"Konoha!"
Darui's eyes were filled with flames as he clenched his fists. This time, he didn't rush towards the explosions. He knew that even if he did, he wouldn't find the enemy's tracks.
Moreover, the explosions were coming from the direction he had initially headed.
This feeling of frustration made him extremely angry.
They couldn't see the enemy, but their own casualties were constantly increasing.
"Order all patrols to immediately return to the camp. Anyone below Jonin level should not wander around outside," Darui took a deep breath to suppress the fire in his heart and instructed the person beside him.
"Yes!"
The Cloud Ninja replied, his figure turning into a shadow and disappearing.
But not long after the Cloud Ninja left, a series of explosions rang out from all directions, accompanied by screams and roars.
They're doing this on purpose!
Darui immediately realized this.
In ninja ambushes and assassinations, enemies are never given a chance to send out messages.
But this group from Konoha was not only killing people but also creating such a commotion, just to let everyone here know that every time an explosion rang out, a Cloud Ninja would be sacrificed.
Noticing that the faces of the surrounding Cloud Ninja were already showing fear and worry, Darui narrowed his eyes.
This can't go on!
He made a decisive decision, waved his hand, and shouted to the puzzled crowd, "Everyone gather, we're attacking Si Ming Mountain!"
The continuous explosions had already made the team panic.
If this continued, their morale would begin to collapse even before the official start of the war.
"Lord Danzo, the Cloud Ninja have begun to gather and are attacking Si Ming Mountain!"
Ryoma flashed to Danzo's side and said respectfully.
He now respected Danzo more and more, not only because of his status but also because of his ability.
Watching the Cloud Ninja camp, where explosions were constantly ringing out, begin to gather, Danzo nodded, his eyes calm and unwavering.
With his current strength and mental attributes, he could completely see the Cloud Ninja thousands of meters away. He turned to Fugaku, who was waiting beside him, and said, "Now it's your turn to prepare."
"Their Jinchuriki is a blonde woman. The moment she uses the Two-Tails' power, you must step in and suppress her."
"We can't let her affect our morale in any way, and we must even use her to enhance our side's momentum!"
"Yes."
Fugaku nodded and headed towards a mountain outside Si Ming Mountain, as instructed by Danzo.
Si Ming Mountain was the main strategic location. They would only retreat here if they couldn't defend it. Their battles would revolve around the other mountains near Si Ming Mountain.
The Cloud Ninja force, led by Darui, had suffered a drop in morale due to the previous attacks, but the journey towards Si Ming Mountain was otherwise peaceful.
But this only made Darui even more annoyed.
Along the way, he had been vigilant at all times. If the other side dared to attack even when their team was assembled, he would chase after the attacker at the first opportunity.
Darui was confident that his speed was definitely faster than those who were launching the sneak attack.
But unfortunately, it was peaceful all the way, and his vigilance could only be in vain.
"Are you very unwilling?" Yugito came to Darui and asked.
"When we get to Si Ming Mountain, I will definitely let those guys know that the Cloud Ninja's Ninja Body Technique is the fastest and strongest!" Darui clenched his fist and said.
"It's about here." Darui said, signaling Yugito to move to the front of the team.
"Then I'll help you save face first."
Yugito smiled. Since mastering the Tailed Beast transformation, she hadn't been able to properly exert the power of the Two-Tails, and now that she finally had the opportunity, she couldn't wait.
Darui frowned. Yugito's strength was indeed good, but because she had been in the village for many years, she was a little overconfident.
Darui signaled the team to stop.
"Get ready to attack!"
Yugito smiled confidently, and her figure leaped to the very front of the entire team.
"What's going on?" Samui came to Darui and asked. The team stopped, but she didn't receive any explanation.
"The Konoha people definitely didn't expect that we would use the power of the Tailed Beast at the beginning of the war, but there may be members of the Hyuga Clan in the other team." Darui explained.
"The Hyuga Clan has the Byakugan, and their reconnaissance ability is one of the best in the Shinobi World. No matter how well-planned our plans are, they will be exposed under those eyes."
"So I plan to give those Konoha bastards a shot first." Darui said with a smile. One was the Raikage's guard, and the other was the Raikage's capable subordinate, and their relationship was very good.
Samui glanced at Yugito in front and frowned, "What about the prisoners?"
"I won't blame them even if they retreat desperately, but surrender is not something our Cloud Ninja should do. If they can escape this shot and survive, then I will forgive their cowardice." Darui said mercilessly, with a cold look on his face.
War was not a child's play. Tsuchikage's team had been reduced after a battle, and he couldn't lose big for small gains.
Samui thought for a while and didn't object, and directed the team to prepare for battle.
At this time, Danzo, who was quietly observing the movements of the Cloud Ninja in the distance, frowned. With his eyesight, he could clearly see the situation of the Cloud Ninja team.
Just now, the entire team suddenly stopped, and a figure came from the rear of the team to the very front.
Golden hair, although the face was young, but looked beautiful and generous.
With just one glance, Danzo recognized the identity of this figure.
The Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails, Matatabi, Yugito.
Just as Danzo was wondering what Yugito was planning to do, a layer of light red Tailed Beast cloak appeared on the surface of Yugito's body at the front of the team.
Not good!
Shocked, Danzo could roughly guess Yugito's plan, and quickly ordered Ryoma next to him: "Everyone secretly withdraw from Si Ming Mountain and disperse to other surrounding peaks."
"Be quick, but don't make too much movement to avoid being discovered by the other party."
"Yes."
Although Ryoma was puzzled, he still followed Danzo's instructions and directed the entire team to evacuate.
Sure enough, not long after Danzo gave the order, the Tailed Beast cloak on Yugito's body began to materialize and condense. Within Danzo's sensory range, the amount of Chakra on her body also began to increase continuously.
Tailed Beast Ball!
With a technique that covers such a long distance, combined with Yugito's identity, the only thing Danzo could think of was the Tailed Beast Ball.
If it were a Tailed Beast Ball, Danzo currently has no means to block it. Although Si Ming Mountain is large, it cannot withstand a direct hit from a Tailed Beast Ball.
However, although the Tailed Beast Ball is powerful, the time it takes to condense is very long, and its power depends on the length of the Tailed Beast Ball's condensation time and the amount of Chakra output.
Now that he has learned about the opponent's methods in advance, it is not difficult to avoid this Tailed Beast Ball ahead of time.
