Temari's Obsession; Konoha Under Attack!

Meanwhile,

Iwagakure also dispatched two Jonin and a troop to reinforce Kumogakure.

Just as Iwagakure began to prepare for battle,

a squad of Sunagakure ninja suddenly appeared outside the village.

"Hello, we received word that Kumogakure was attacked, so Lord Kazekage sent us to check if anything happened in your village and inspect your strategic resources along the way."

"Naturally, it's the things that will kill you!"

The smile on his face instantly turned ferocious.

"Summoning Technique!"

several figures burst forth from the scroll. Looking closely, they were shockingly Impure World Reincarnation ninja wearing Kumogakure protectors!

One of them was exceptionally muscular, with the kanji for "Lightning" inscribed on his shoulder.

Kitsuchi's expression turned to one of sheer horror: It's, it's the Third Raikage!

Aside from being famous in Kumogakure, the reputation of the Third Raikage was legendary in Iwagakure as well.

Because

the Third Raikage once achieved the astonishing record of single-handedly fighting
