Chapter 107 Embarrassment

Ruins were spreading. The main street of Konoha, which had not been affected by the Ningqi bombing, was now full of ruins in the fight between Konoha and Kumogakure. Even the most famous noodle shop at the corner of the street, Ichiraku Ramen, had turned into a pool of mud and dust.

Seeing this scene from afar, Ayame burst into tears in her father's arms.

The murderer was Akimichi Choza, the patriarch of the Konoha Akimichi clan, but it was obviously not his own will. The super-multiplication technique had such a defect. While the size increased and the lethality increased, it was also more likely to be targeted by the enemy. He was unable to cope with it and brought devastating disasters to the surrounding buildings.

However, since Konoha decided to take advantage of the village's insignificant terrain advantage and fight against Kumogakure in the streets, it had also considered the situation where this terrain was removed.

Although the battlefield was transferred from the dense forest to the Konoha village, Konoha still had a very difficult time.

This is not only because the number of enemies is greater, but also because after the Ningqi and Uchiha rebellions, Konoha, which lost the two major bloodline limit families of Uchiha and Hyuga in one day, has indeed distanced itself from Kumogakure in terms of core strength. Ordinary ninjas and bloodline limit ninjas are completely different things. On the battlefield, the former are often just the measurement unit of the latter. As a Chunin, a bloodline limit ninja can often deal with 2 to 6 ordinary ninjas at the same time.

After the Uchiha and Hyuga clans were in trouble, hundreds of bloodline limit ninjas on the Konoha side were lost.

The battle has only lasted for 40 minutes so far. Kumogakure's original plan was to kill through Konoha in one hour and quell all resistance in three hours. Judging from the current situation, they are still likely to succeed.

There are many corpses of Konoha ninjas under their feet. The Kumogakure ninjas have basically taken over this area. They have drawn boundaries and watched the battle in the boundaries with fanatical expressions.

"Yi Lei Shen Nu Lei Fu!!"

Raikage Ai roared, spread his legs in the air, and then stomped down towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Boom——

Countless gravel flew.

The astonished Sarutobi turned his whole body into a pool of mud, and Ai's right leg sank directly into it, and it was difficult to pull it out for a while.

"Earth Style Clone?"

He looked up in surprise, and the real Sarutobi was already forming a seal beside him.

"Earth Style·Earth Flow River!"

The mud swept Ai downward.

Before he could do anything, he saw Sarutobi forming a seal again:

"Earth Style·Earth Dragon Bomb!"

An earth dragon was spitting earth bombs at him upstream of the earth flow.

Ai looked down and saw that the earth bombs could not break through the lightning armor on his body, so he sneered. Just as he was about to make a mockery, he heard Sarutobi shouting in front of him:

"It's not over yet!!"

"Fire Style·Fire Dragon Flame Bomb!"

"Compound Ninjutsu·Earth Dragon Flame Flow!"

The earth bomb was covered with a layer of scorching flames and swept towards Ai.

A scream from Ai was heard in the raging fireworks. When Sarutobi stopped releasing ninjutsu, there was only a pile of black ash where the Raikage had been.

He stared at the black ash for a moment, and then suddenly woke up.

However, it was too late. Ai's fist flashing with lightning had already hit him hard on the side of his face.

In slow motion, his face was twisted and deformed as Ai's fist penetrated deeper.

Bang!

The terrifying power made Sarutobi roll and break through countless walls. At the end, he stopped rolling under the flying pounce of a Konoha medical ninja.

The medical ninja endured the severe pain of being a scapegoat for his own Hokage and hurriedly began to heal Sarutobi. However, looking at Sarutobi's sunken face, broken teeth and bloody mouth, for some reason, her tears began to fall.

"Hokage-sama..."

"Don't cry, Yu-no, it's okay..." Sarutobi wanted to comfort him, but his face hurt as soon as he spoke. He wanted to say that he was not seriously injured, but he just looked miserable, but because he hurt his mouth, he could only speak incoherently at the end.

"Hokage-sama, can we really defeat Kumogakure?"

"Well... so many people died, Hokage-sama..."

"Yu-no... Yu-no doesn't want to die, Yu-no also hopes that Hokage-sama can live..."

Yu-no sobbed, and there was a disfiguring knife wound across her eyebrows on her pretty face. She didn't stop healing Sarutobi in her hands. She kept saying something, who died in the battle, who was still holding on, who ran away, and who was actively rushing towards the Kumogakure ninja.

Her voice was intermittent, her logic was unclear, and her tone was unclear. She just said whatever she thought of as she cried one paragraph after another.

At the last moment, she wiped her tears and asked, "Hokage-sama, can we really survive this crisis?"

There was an explosion above, Sarutobi sighed, stood up shakily, spit out a mouthful of blood foam, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were particularly firm.

He smiled at Yuno, trying to pronounce his words clearly:

"It will be fine, Hokage... will protect you."

After saying this, Sarutobi crawled out of the broken hole in the wall.

The Raikage, who was searching for his traces around, turned his head and looked over, threw the Konoha ninja in his hand to the ground, and smiled: "So you hid here?"

Sarutobi ignored him, but gestured to the two figures on the cliff in the distance, and then set his sights on Ai.

He was really a little overwhelmed to deal with such an enemy.

Extreme speed, extreme strength, extreme body.

The Konoha think tank racked their brains for how to deal with such an enemy.

It's not that they didn't make a plan, but all the plans were difficult to play in the face of the huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us.

The third Raikage fought for nearly three days on a battlefield with 10,000 people before he was finally killed. The fourth Raikage, who was of the same lineage, would be even more difficult to deal with. Moreover, the attack on the Hidden Cloud Village was not just the Raikage alone. They brought more ninjas than the garrison ninjas of Konoha, brought a more elite team than Konoha, and had the fourth Raikage who was like a sharp knife leading the team.

They didn't come for a picnic, they came to destroy Konoha.

"Are you sending a message to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, asking him to prepare to leave?" Ai raised his eyebrows and shook his head, "It's useless. When I capture you, someone will naturally take the initiative to hand the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to me."

"That is a gift left by Minato for Naruto. It is impossible for it to be handed over to you." Sarutobi adjusted his jaw and said calmly.

"The tailed beasts are born, when did they become your private property?" Ai said with a smile, "I respect Minato, he is a rare opponent, if he is still here, I will never attack Konoha."

"Of course, I will treat his son well, and he will live well in the Hidden Cloud Village before we prepare the tailed beast stripping ceremony."

Arrogant.

Greedy.

Arrogant.

I am actually going to be taken as a prisoner to force other Konoha ninjas to surrender?

Sarutobi shook his head.

"I am really underestimated..."

The war is still going on, but unlike the time when Konoha ninjas occupied the majority, there are more and more Hidden Cloud ninjas around. Ai has drawn a boundary and does not allow other Hidden Cloud ninjas to interfere in the duel between the two shadows. However, as Konoha's resistance gradually weakened, many Hidden Cloud ninjas have temporarily found no opponents and began to blow bubbles and squat down to watch the show out of boredom.

The Konoha flag in the temporary building of the Hokage was replaced with the logo of the Hidden Cloud Village.

A rumbling sound was heard, and in the distance, the originally huge Akimichi Choza also fell to the ground and disappeared at the end of the field of vision.

The body of a Konoha female ninja was hung at the entrance of the newly established ninja hospital.

More than a dozen Konoha captives were naked and tied up by the Kumogakure ninjas as they walked through the ruins, trying to force the hidden Konoha ninjas to take action in anger.

The resistance in the surrounding areas continued, but there were not many.

This is a war, and it is also a humiliating moment that Konoha has never had since its establishment.

Konoha is fighting tenaciously, but it is obvious that with no advantage in quantity and quality, the collapse of the situation is only something that can be foreseen sooner or later.

"And the culprit of all this is me..."

Sarutobi felt heavy in his heart, but he became more and more determined.

The people brought by the Kumogakure Village are not many. As long as the Raikage in front of them is killed and Jiraiya's reinforcements arrive, Konoha can still be saved.

The current humiliation is undoubtedly only temporary.

Sarutobi had verified many times before that he could not deal with this type of enemy. Just as Earth Release was naturally countered by Lightning Release, he, a ninjutsu professor, could only fall into a disadvantage in all aspects when facing this kind of guy who was both meaty and resistant to movement and fast on the battlefield.

There were not many ways to deal with the opponent, but there were still some.

Thanks to Minato's care, he had already survived many times. The collapse of Konoha was inseparable from him. Using his life to pay for the mistakes he made was also what Sarutobi himself expected.

At this moment, Sarutobi began to make seals quickly without hesitation.

Shikigami Seal...

Si-Hai-Wei-Mao-Xu...

Boom——

Another extremely fast close-range sweep kick, but this time Sarutobi reacted. He blocked with his arms horizontally, but he was still kicked out.

He wanted to continue making seals under the burial of earth and rocks.

However...

"Thunder level!"

The arm turned into a sharp knife and pierced through the entire pile of earth and rocks. Sarutobi, who barely avoided this attack, looked at the rushing Raikage Ai with a solemn face.

He didn't even have a chance to perform a ninjutsu! !

Bang!

His body was sunken into the wall, Sarutobi was vomiting blood, his vision was shaking, and the young Kumogakure ninjas around him were teasing. Sarutobi ignored them. Naruto was watching from a distance. This performance that truly interpreted the will of fire must be completed.

He put his hands together with trembling hands and began to make a seal again.

The Raikage was quite puzzled at this time. He walked towards Sarutobi and asked casually:

"It has been such a long seal since just now. What ninjutsu are you going to use? What's the point? Can you still turn the tables?"

As he was talking, a figure stretched out his hands to block Ai who was walking.

"You are not allowed to hurt the Hokage!" Yuno said loudly with courage, her ponytail swaying in the wind.

Sarutobi and Ai were both stunned.

"Hey, hey, hey, a duel between shadows, is it possible for you, a small medical ninja, to intervene?" The Kumogakure ninjas who were watching were very dissatisfied.

Before the Raikage could make a move, someone wanted to drag her out.

Sarutobi's lips trembled, remembering the promise he had just made to her, and he couldn't help but let go of the hand that was making the seal and clenched his fist.

The next second, a golden hoop stick came from nowhere and extended to knock the approaching Kumogakure ninjas away.

While the golden hoop stick and the Kumogakure ninjas were fighting, the Raikage passed them and came straight to Sarutobi and said:

"This is a necessary procedure."

Then he grabbed his arm and broke it casually.

"Ah——"

Sarutobi screamed while covering his broken left hand, his eyes were red, but he still stared at the Raikage's face, his face was gloomy.

Lei Ying glanced at him in surprise: "You seem to have finally accepted your fate now?"

…

On the cliff.

"Leave." Ebisu said with a trembling voice.

"No, Grandpa Hokage wants me to remember something...I haven't even seen it yet..." Naruto shook his head firmly.

"It's... over." It started with Naruto's hand being severed.

"No."

Ebisu did not argue with him anymore, but without hesitation used a spell to restrain Naruto's hands and feet, holding him up and running away.

"Wait a minute...really!!" Naruto yelled, "I saw it - what Grandpa Hokage wants to show me!!"

Ebisu naturally didn't believe it, but Naruto struggled fiercely, so he turned around and took a look.

Then.

He froze.

That is……

Those people are...

…

The Saru Demon was going crazy, but as Sarutobi was caught in Raikage's hand, the strongest psychic beast, known as the indestructible King Kong, also calmed down for a while.

"The effect is good." Raikage smiled proudly. The psychic beast was like this. He could already imagine the other Konoha ninjas who were resisting seeing this scene.

The cheers of the Kumogakure ninjas could be heard all around.

Capturing another Kage alive, who was also the most famous Third Hokage in the ninja world, was an unprecedented feat for the entire Kumogakure Village.

It also basically declared the end of this war, and their Cloud Hidden Village would climb to the top on Konoha's corpse.

"Why is it so noisy..." Ai was not referring to the cheers around him, but to the increasingly intense explosions and neighing sounds of ninjutsu in the distance.

Very strange.

The war in Konoha is clearly coming to an end, so why do these sounds seem to be getting more intense and spreading in this direction?

There was a bang, like the sound of something falling to the ground.

"So you are here."

The sound was so sudden that everyone turned around and saw a man with a bandage on his face and only one eye exposed. He was leaning on a cane and standing on the roof of a nearby house that had not yet collapsed.

What just landed on the ground was the body of the Kumogakure ninja that he pushed down.

"Kayui!"

It was the Kumogakure ninja who took off the captured Konoha ninja prisoners and took off their shirts to show off his power on the streets.

when……

Sarutobi squinted his eyes and saw that there was bright sunshine behind Danzo, which shrouded his entire face in shadow, like roots in the darkness, growing out of the ground at this time.

Behind him, dozens of figures slowly emerged.

How could Konoha still have such a huge resistance?

However, when Sarutobi noticed the faces of these people and the expression of one of them, he finally couldn't help but lower his head.

"What a mess, Sarutobi." Danzo commented lightly.

…
