Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 104 It's so hot!

The atmosphere within the Leaf Village's headquarters in the Land of the Moon was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring.

The rows of tents lay quietly under the gloomy sky, the rain pattering against the rooftops with a soft rustling sound.

The air was filled with the earthy smell of damp leather, and an indescribable atmosphere of anxiety and anticipation.

Jiraiya and the other Konoha Jonin focused all their attention on the few people in the open area in the center of the camp.

Hinata Kumokawa stood at the very front, gazing up at the distant battlefield, rain streaming down his face.

Thick, dark cumulonimbus clouds rolled endlessly, hanging low like ink, while deep within the clouds, occasionally a pale flash of lightning silently tore through the darkness.

"Yun Chuan".

Jiraiya had shed his usual carefree attitude and his expression was more serious than ever before, the rain soaking his white hair and making it cling to his body.

"I'm here," Hinata Kumokawa replied softly.

"Remember, act within your capabilities." Jiraiya pursed his lips and cautioned, "Your plan is very thorough, and no anomalies have been detected in Kumogakure yet, but safety should be the top priority!"

“I understand.” Hyuga Kumokawa nodded and said in a deep voice, “For Konoha, we will not fail.”

His response remained concise, as if any further promises would be superfluous.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's gaze shifted slightly, and the others' expressions changed subtly as well.

Hinata Kumokawa looked at Kakashi beside him. Kakashi's Sharingan was gazing at the dark clouds in the distance. After noticing Hinata's gaze, Kakashi nodded.

Seeing this, Hyuga Kumokawa turned slightly to the side, his gaze sweeping over the dozen or so people behind him who were fully prepared to go, and called out loudly, "Everyone, are you ready?"

Each person had a flying ninja beast beside them, and each face showed a mixture of tension, excitement, and determination.

Their bodies trembled uncontrollably at the thought of what they were about to do.

They all focused their burning gazes on Hinata Kumokawa, on this young man who would lead them to great achievements!
"The raid team is in position!" the leader of the Jonin said excitedly, licking his lips.

The entire camp seemed to hold its breath, the rain pattering against everyone's goggles and headbands, the only background noise at that moment.

Even the patrolling ninjas stopped in their tracks, their gazes involuntarily drawn to those figures.

The next moment, two white beams of light suddenly extended out from behind Hyuga Kumokawa.

What appeared before everyone was a pair of enormous wings.

Each feather is clearly visible as it unfolds, layer upon layer, with perfect texture and edges radiating a soft white glow.

"set off!"

As Hinata Kumokawa finished speaking, the white wings behind him fluttered gracefully and slightly downwards!

call! !

A powerful wave of air pressed down instantly, squeezing the water on the ground and forming a clear puddle.

The surrounding rain was instantly blown away and lifted into the air, the tent curtains were violently torn and fluttered by the airflow, and Hyuga Unkawa's figure suddenly rose into the air.

Under the expectant, astonished, or shocked gazes of everyone, the white figure traced an upward trajectory in the dim rain with an inviolable, solemn, and steady demeanor.

The others, in their own ways, followed closely behind that figure, soaring into the thick rain clouds against the backdrop of the icy rain.

All that remained on the open ground was a curtain of rain, briefly parted by the powerful wind pressure and then gradually closing again, and a group of Konoha ninjas holding their breath, their hearts churning with turbulent emotions.

"..."

Jiraiya clenched his fists, his gaze following the rapidly shrinking figures in the sky, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Hinata Kumokawa's character, talent, and wisdom deeply moved him.

Without a doubt, this is the "hope" that the gods have once again bestowed upon Konoha, just like Minato Namikaze did in the past.

However, if Yun Chuan's plan is to succeed, he will inevitably become the object of hatred for countless Yun Yin ninjas.

At that time, Yugito Nii, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, will descend into madness and show no mercy whatsoever...

"You must come back safely, or I won't be able to face the old man." Jiraiya murmured to himself, his eyes gradually hardening, before he abruptly turned and walked back into his tent.

Young people are working this hard.

As a senior, he also needs to do what he should do.

------

Lead-gray clouds hung heavily over the battlefield of the Moon Kingdom.

The raindrops that hit the ground no longer splashed up water, but instead created a dark red mud mixture of blood and scorched earth.

The ground was ravaged beyond recognition by ninjutsu and explosions, and rainwater flowed through the scorched earth, forming several murky streams with a sickly pink hue.

As far as the eye could see, broken kunai and shuriken were deeply embedded in the mud, and the remains of corpses were scattered like forgotten garbage in the mud and sewage.

The borders of the Moon Kingdom have now become a swamp of blood and fire.

"Cloud Flow - Flame Slash!"

Atsui brandished his flame-wrapped ninja sword, burning a Konoha ninja who charged at him to ashes. He looked around, panting heavily, somewhat exhausted.

The air inhaled into the lungs was a mixture of the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke, the strong, sweet and pungent smell of evaporating blood, and the stench of burnt flesh.

Each breath felt like forcibly stuffing a lump of wet cotton soaked in filthy blood into my lungs, cold, damp, and burning.

Konoha's offensive was like a frenzied tide, accompanied by roars and howls, crashing against the Cloud Village's defenses wave after wave.

This offensive was even more ferocious than the previous ones.

"It's so hot! It's so hot!"

Despite the icy rain pattering against her face, Atsi felt her skin burning from the heatwave, unable to distinguish between sweat and rain.

He uttered his favorite phrase, swatting away a Konoha ninja with a backhand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Are these bastards from Konoha insane?"

Konoha has used far too many explosive tags in these recent offensives!
boom! boom!
As soon as he had this thought, a series of loud noises, like continuous war drums, erupted, and red flames burst forth, only to be quickly extinguished by the rain.

It only left more scorched pits on the ground and scalding hot air rising into the air.

Two Cloud Village ninjas near the epicenter of the explosion were torn to pieces before they could even scream, their severed limbs and scalding mud flying everywhere.

However, such losses are simply not worth it!

So many explosive tags were used to kill only two Cloud Village ninjas—what a waste! Doesn't Konoha consider the future of the battle?!
"Fire Release·Dragon Fire Technique!"

Feeling the heat coming from behind, Atsi did not hesitate to dodge to the side. The next moment, a beam of fire grazed past him, making his skin feel burned and stinging.

The flames instantly evaporated a patch of water, engulfing two Cloud Village ninjas who couldn't dodge in time. The scorching heat, carrying the smell of burning and shrill screams, spread outwards.

puff!

Atsui appeared behind the Konoha ninja, his blade wreathed in flames as he severed the ninja's head.

He glanced instinctively at the headless corpse lying on the ground.

Just as I was about to look away, I suddenly stopped.

But when he turned his gaze back to the corpse, he could no longer find that fleeting glimpse of something unusual.

"what happened?"

Atsi stared intently at the corpse, his gaze sweeping over it repeatedly, muttering, "Where...where is something amiss?"

There must be some very important but overlooked anomaly!
I already noticed it!

"no!"

Suddenly, he gritted his teeth, hoisted the headless corpse onto his shoulder, called his two teammates to join him, and without having time to explain to them, turned and ran towards the rear camp.

Definitely! There must be something missing!
Even if it can't be found, I must let my sister know. She will definitely find it!
