Danzo was unaware that Uya had chosen to go to the Land of Lightning on her own initiative, and he hadn't even considered that possibility.
Because this is not how a normal person thinks.
In Danzo's view, Uya's deployment was commanded by Hiruzen Sarutobi, and it seemed that Uya was still obeying the village's orders. There was no doubt that this was a counterattack launched against the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who had attacked the Kumogakure.
If Uya could inflict heavy damage on Kumogakure and ultimately be killed by the Third Raikage or Third Raikage together with him, that would be the best possible ending!
It's a bit of a shame that Uya died, but if a tool that's already out of control can still achieve its maximum effect, then that's the best outcome.
Compared to Uya, Danzo had not only encountered the Third Kazekage but also the Third Raikage. Although both were Kage and had their own unique methods, there was still a difference in their combat strength!
After all, the Third Raikage has a proven track record of single-handedly suppressing the Eight-Tails!
Even though Uya killed the Third Kazekage, Danzo didn't believe that Uya could kill the Third Raikage in Kumogakure. If killing Kage were so easy, wouldn't Uya be invincible in the Shinobi World?!
"If we could defeat the Third Raikage, that would be ideal. Even if we can't, as long as we severely damage Kumogakure, and take advantage of their losses on this battlefield... we, Konoha, can seize the opportunity to strike and crush Kumogakure in one fell Kumogakure!"
A cold glint flashed in Danzo's eyes.
"I just hope that Uya can inflict heavy damage on Kumogakure, and not be completely suppressed."
Kumogakure.
This place is the highest point in the entire Land of Lightning, and it's surrounded by clouds and mist, making it look like a paradise.
The layout of the entire Kumogakure is also completely different from that of the Sunagakure Konoha.
The mountains rise like bamboo shoots, and almost all the buildings are built around them, not only carving out a lot of space inside the mountains, but also creating various platforms on the outside.
It's as if a series of mountain peaks have spread their wings, building a circular structure outwards from the center.
At the same time, these buildings are mostly connected by passageways.
Almost no one living here is afraid of heights; even ordinary people can walk calmly through the passageways between the mountains.
Just like the people of Sunagakure are used to a water-scarce environment.
At this moment, Uya had already disguised himself as an ordinary civilian in Kumogakure, moving around the Kumogakure without leaving a trace, using his Shockwave Sensing to gradually explore the village.
After mastering the Spirit Transformation Technique, Uya's aura and temperament can be almost completely concealed, making him appear like an ordinary person. As for Chakra, Uya's control over it is also extremely strong; he can completely conceal his presence without using Chakra.
After circling around Kumogakure, Uya was able to avoid almost all the patrols and sentries, both overt and covert, thanks to the Shockwave Sensing. So no one noticed anything unusual about Uya, nor did they know that Konoha Shura had already arrived in Kumogakure.
In front of the Raikage Building in Kumogakure.
This building is much more magnificent than the others. It's not just a building built in the middle of the mountain; it's practically a building covering the entire mountain except for the summit.
Using his Shockwave Sensing, Uya probed the past bit by bit, silently discovering everything inside the Raikage Building.
" The Third Raikage is indeed stationed in Kumogakure."
Uya wasn't surprised to find the Third Raikage inside the Raikage Building, because even if Kumogakure and Iwagakure were at war, the Kage wouldn't be mobilized until the battle truly reached its final stage.
Uya had only one assessment of the Third Raikage's perception.
That's strength!
The Third Raikage's body alone made Uya take notice. If he had to say, the Third Raikage's body was even stronger than Uya's current body!
Even though Uya's body is already very strong, it is still not strong enough to withstand swords. As for the Third Raikage, ordinary swords probably wouldn't be able to cut him at all.
If the Lightning Cloak is activated again, even sword attacks that rely on Chakra Flow will likely not be able to cause any damage!
Furthermore, Uya felt that the current Third Raikage might not have reached his peak yet, since the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique should be a long-term process of gradually increasing strength.
The Third Raikage, who was able to fight against ten thousand men single-handedly during the Third Shinobi World War, eventually died from exhaustion, but his strength should still be considered to be at the level of a near -Super Kage.
The current Third Raikage should still be at the Peak Kage Level.
"I couldn't sense the Third Stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique at all. Could it be that it's not in the Raikage Building?"
After observing the Third Raikage briefly, Uya ignored him and continued searching for the purpose of his trip. No matter how strong the Third Raikage was, Uya would not be afraid of him in the slightest.
Now that he's come to Kumogakure, he has no intention of returning without a trace!
After searching the entire Raikage Building, Uya found nothing, not even a Secret Technique scroll.
Some of the scrolls appeared to be Secret Technique scrolls, but after some examination, Uya was unable to see their contents and ruled them out.
After shaking his head, Uya continued to probe other places with his senses. He also found the location of the Kumogakure Anbu Uya, which was hidden inside an inconspicuous mountain.
However, they still hadn't found the Third Stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique that Uya needed.
The Kumogakure Anbu does store many scrolls, but like the scroll storage room in the Konoha Anbu, they are all just ordinary Ninjutsu scrolls.
It didn't even have the Second Stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique.
Before he knew it, he had been in Kumogakure for almost half a month. During this time, Uya had also assassinated some Kumogakure, infiltrated the Raikage Building, and carefully looked through all the scrolls that he suspected.
The Third Stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique still hasn't been found.
This seems to confirm Uya's previous guess: could the Third Stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique really have been passed down orally?
In that case, obtaining it will be quite difficult. Are we going to have to capture the Third Raikage and interrogate him?!
Putting aside the question of whether he could be caught, just considering the issue of torture instruments, there are almost no instruments that could work on him!
During these two weeks, the Third Raikage was extremely agitated.
On one hand, several ninjas mysteriously disappeared from the village, and on the other hand, the Kumogakure Surprise Attack Force vanished without a trace in the Land of Fire!
"Having received no reply for half a month, I'm afraid their fate is sealed. But the fact that Konoha managed to annihilate the entire Surprise Attack Force is beyond my expectations."
The Third Raikage's expression was grim and uncertain. Since not a single message had been sent back, it was clear that the entire Surprise Attack Force had been wiped out, with not a single survivor.
"Given their speed, it's impossible that not a single one escaped..." (To be continued.)
