When the news of the fall of Black Cloud Pass was transmitted back to Kumogakure, the entire command tent fell into dead silence.
Kumogakure, big meeting account.
A huge Land of Lightning sand table is placed in the center.
On the sand table, the small flags representing the Kumogakure defense line were pulled out one after another.
Dozens of Kumogakure Jonin gathered around the sand table, and no one dared to breathe loudly.
"Report!"
A messenger ninja rushed into the tent covered in dust and knelt on one knee.
"Black Cloud Pass is lost!"
"Uchiha Shrine destroyed the wall with a large-scale Lightning Release, the defender died in battle, and the remaining troops retreated in the direction of Ring Pass!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another ninja rushed in again.
"Urgent report!"
"The Uchiha troops did not take any rest, but have already crossed Thunderbreak Valley and are heading towards Ring Pass!"
"They're too fast!"
"The strongholds along the way can't be stopped at all!"
The third messenger ninja almost fell into the tent.
"Uchiha striker found outside Ring Pass!"
"Hyuga Byakugan The scope of investigation is extremely large, and all the ambush we set has been seen through in advance!"
"Requesting reinforcements from the village!"
Next to the sand table, an old Kumogakure Jonin looked pale.
"From Black Cloud Pass to Ring Pass, a normal march will take at least two days."
"How could they be so fast?"
No one answered.
Because the answer is already right in front of you.
Uchiha is not marching.
They are pushing sideways.
Any stronghold blocking the road will either be blasted to pieces by Lightning Release or burned through by Fire Release.
The Lightning Release troops that Kumogakure is proud of cannot regain control of Lightning Cloud in front of Uchiha Shrine.
This style of play is rough and direct, but extremely effective.
In the main seat of the big tent, Fourth Raikage A's whole body was covered with bandages.
His left arm was hanging on his chest, and his chest was wrapped in a thick fixed bandage. Blood could be seen oozing out of his neck.
In the border battle, he was severely wounded by Ren.
If Eight-Tails hadn't used tentacle clones and Tailed Beast Chakra to cover his retreat in the end, it would have been impossible for him to return to Kumogakure alive.
But now, he can only sit in the tent to recover from his injuries.
Listening to the failure reports one after another, Raikage A had veins popping up on his forehead.
Bang!
He punched the desk.
The desk cracked on the spot.
"Asshole!"
"Uchiha Ren!"
Raikage stood up suddenly, but as soon as he moved, his chest injury immediately broke out.
"Ahem!"
He coughed a mouthful of blood onto the bandage and shook his whole body.
The medical ninja next to him turned pale with fear.
"Lord Raikage, can't move!"
Raikage pushed the medical ninja away.
"Get away!"
"Uchiha has almost reached the village gate. Are you going to let me lie down and wait for death?"
At this moment, Darui dragged his injured body into the tent.
He was also very pale, with bandages wrapped in many places on his body. The big knife in his hand was propped on the ground, and he could barely stand still.
"Lord Raikage."
"You can't go to war."
Raikage turned his head sharply.
"Darui, you want to stop me too?"
Darui raised his head, his voice was hoarse, but he did not give in.
"I'm not stopping you."
"Yes Kumogakure can't lose you now."
"Uchiha Ren's strength, you know better than anyone else."
"If you rush out in this body now, you are not fighting a decisive battle, you are sending yourself to death."
The expressions of all Cloud Ninjas in the big account changed.
No one dares to speak to Raikage like this.
But Darui dares.
Because he saw with his own eyes that Raikage was suppressed by Ren, and he also saw with his own eyes that Eight-Tails was beaten until he lost consciousness.
Darui gritted his teeth and said:
"Only when you recover can Kumogakure be truly qualified to compete with Uchiha."
"If you fall, the village is truly doomed."
Raikage's chest heaved violently, and his fists clenched loudly.
After a moment, he suppressed his anger.
"What's the comparison?"
"Have you found Bihe Eight-Tails?"
Darui lowered his head.
"Not yet."
Raikage's face instantly turned ugly.
Darui immediately added:
"However, Sensory Unit did not find Chakra collapsed when Eight-Tails died, nor did he find Mr. Bi's body."
"Based on the remains on the battlefield, Mr. Bi and Eight-Tails should have successfully escaped."
"It's just that their injuries are too serious and they may be hiding somewhere to recover."
Raikage grabbed the edge of the table.
"Comprehensive search!"
"Send all ANBU, Sensory Unit, and Medical Unit out!"
"Go through all the caves, secret passages, and old strongholds around Kumogakure, and try to find Bigui for me!"
"Yes!"
All the people responded in unison.
Raikage took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He stared at the Uchiha flag that was approaching Kumogakure on the sand table, and his voice was horribly low.
"Also."
"Send someone to Konoha."
Everyone in the big tent was stunned.
One Kumogakure Jonin couldn't help but say:
"Lord Raikage, we want to ask Konoha for peace?"
Raikage turned around and glared at him.
"Not asking for peace."
"It's just stalling for time!"
That Jonin shut up immediately.
Raikage gritted his teeth and said:
"Tell Hiruzen Sarutobi that Kumogakure is willing to sit down and talk."
"Whether it's the Hyuga incident or compensation, we can discuss everything."
"Let Konoha come forward and restrain Uchiha from stopping."
"Hiruzen Sarutobi would not like to see Uchiha penetrate Kumogakure."
"The stronger Uchiha is, the harder it is for Konoha Leadership to sleep."
Darui immediately understood what Raikage meant.
"Borrow Konoha's hand to hold Uchiha."
Raikage nodded.
"It's a day that can last a day."
"I need time to recover."
"I want time to come back."
"I need time to gather all the available combat power in the village."
He raised his head and looked at all the Cloud Ninjas in the tent.
"This is not the end."
"This is preparation before the final battle."
"When I recover and Dianbi and Eight-Tails return, Kumogakure will settle the accounts with Uchiha Ren!"
At the same time.
Kumogakure A hidden stone room somewhere.
Killer B was leaning against the cold stone wall, his whole body wrapped in bandages like a bloody man.
His shoulder was penetrated by Susanoo Spiral Longsword, and his chest suffered the aftermath of Ren Twentyfold Strike.
Even with Eight-Tails Chakra body protection, he was almost beaten to pieces.
In the consciousness space, Eight-Tails Gyuki was lying on the water, and his huge body was much weaker than usual.
Several tentacles were broken and the cow's head was covered with scars.
Killer B gasped and grinned forcefully.
"Oh, this time it was so confusing that we almost stopped filming."
"Uncle Bi was almost tied up as a pet, and his rhythm was completely broken."
Eight-Tails growled:
"Stop singing, Bi."
"It's a lucky thing that I survived."
Killer B was silent for a moment.
Of course he understands.
If it hadn't been for the mysterious man wearing a mask who suddenly took action and used Space-Time Ninjutsu to block Ren, they would have had no chance of using their tentacle clones to deceive the battlefield.
Eight-Tails has a lower sound.
"That guy showed up just in time."
"His Space-Time Ninjutsu helped us buy time to replace the main body."
"Otherwise Ren opens my eyes, and I will be completely controlled by those Mangekyo."
Killer B gritted his teeth and asked:
"Gyuki, who do you think that mysterious person is?"
Eight-Tails was silent for a moment.
"Space distortion, one-eyed Sharingan, can make the body Intangibility, and dare to intervene in Tailed Beasts's fight."
"This pupil power aura reminds me of the night when Nine-Tails was manipulated to attack Konoha."
"If I guess correctly, the mysterious person is Obito Uchiha who owns Spatial Mangekyō Sharingan and once controlled Nine-Tails to attack Konoha."
