Chapter 20 Attack on Kumogakure!
Raikage Building.

The Fourth Raikage, A, wore a white robe and a Raikage hat, and held a dumbbell in his right hand, stretching his muscles while listening to his subordinates' reports.

"According to the updated information from the exchange, the mysterious ninja who killed Kainu has already taken his body to exchange for the bounty," Mabui said calmly, holding a document.

Bang!
No sooner had Mabui finished speaking than the Fourth Raikage, A, slammed his palm down, splitting the entire table made of hard ironwood in two!

"This is outrageous! That despicable guy!" The Fourth Raikage's eyes widened in fury, yet he remained calm despite his rage.

The Raikage asked in a deep voice, "What are the chances that Konoha will do this on its own?"

He dispatched a special Jonin skilled in infiltration as an envoy, ostensibly to negotiate peace, but in reality to infiltrate the Hyuga clan's territory, kidnap the Hyuga princess, and thus obtain the Byakugan bloodline limit for Kumogakure.

If the Hyuga clan discovers this, preferably the main Hyuga clan, the envoy will become a suicide soldier, crashing into the enemy and dying on the spot. This would give Kumogakure an excuse to force Konoha to hand over the culprit.

This was originally a move that was guaranteed to make a profit.

But then a mysterious masked ninja suddenly appeared, killed the Cloud Village envoy, and dumped the body on Hyuga clan territory, framing the Hyuga clan.

As the Raikage, A knew better than anyone what the Cloud Village had done.

He didn't believe Konoha's explanation, thinking that the other party was just desperately protecting the Hyuga clan.

“It’s still possible. After all, a ninja who can do this in the heavily guarded Hidden Leaf Village wouldn’t be an unknown nobody.” Mabui frowned slightly.

As the Raikage's secretary, Mabui is exceptionally intelligent, adept at judgment and analysis, and possesses a wealth of intelligence about Kumogakure.

Therefore, Mabuyi also believes that it is unlikely that such a person exists.

“But…” Mabui put down the documents in her hand, a sharp glint flashing in her pale blue pupils, and added, “Konoha’s insistence that it was done by a mysterious ninja is clearly an attempt to protect the Hyuga clan. If we continue to pressure them, Konoha probably won’t hand over the culprit from the Hyuga clan.”

"Hmph! Then keep fighting! Fight until Konoha begs for mercy!" The Fourth Raikage's face was ferocious, and his left fist was clenched so tightly that it cracked.

He couldn't wait to lead his ninja forces to Konoha's home base.

"Lord Raikage, our Hidden Cloud Village is no longer able to fight." Mabui sighed and analyzed the current situation of Hidden Cloud Village and the Land of Lightning for the hot-tempered Raikage.

They couldn't even get into the Land of Fire, let alone Konoha. The ninja forces of both countries had been locked in a stalemate in the Land of Hot Water and the Land of the Moon for months and were already exhausted.

This war should end.

"And this is the third time this month that you've broken the table!" Mabuyi glanced at the broken pieces on the ground. This was a table made of fine hard ironwood.

Mabuyi said helplessly, "The repair cost will be deducted from your allowance."

"Whatever!" The Fourth Raikage, Ai, didn't care.

He held a dumbbell in his right hand, looking at the dark cloud that was gradually drifting in through the window, and for some reason had a bad feeling.

"What's Bee up to now?" The Fourth Raikage A immediately thought of his adopted brother, Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki who liked to rap and had been forbidden from leaving the village for many years.

boom--!
Suddenly, a deafening explosion erupted from the ground floor of the Raikage Building!

The entire building shook violently, and the rooms creaked as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

"Who is it!" the Fourth Raikage, A, roared, threw the dumbbell aside, smashed the office window, and jumped down.

"Lord Raikage!" Mabui hurriedly followed.

The two jumped out of the Raikage Building and landed on the platform below, where they saw that nearly half of the lower floors of the Raikage Building had been destroyed!

If the Raikage Building hadn't been built on a mountaintop and connected to other peaks by supports, it might have collapsed by now.

Ray Shadow Ai searched everywhere for enemies.

tread--

Footsteps came from the smoke.

"Who dares to be so insolent in Kumogakure!" The Fourth Raikage, A, was furious. In the decades since Kumogakure was established, no one had ever been able to break into the village.

A figure slowly emerged from the billowing smoke. As the smoke gradually dissipated, a white three-eyed fox mask appeared and disappeared. "Playing tricks!" The Fourth Raikage, A, unleashed purple lightning chakra, activating Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

He glared at the figure in the smoke and shouted angrily, "Get out here!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, flashed forward and rushed towards the mysterious figure in the smoke at an extremely fast speed.

"Die!"

"Thunder Release: Heavy Flood Storm!"

Countless lightning chakra gathered on Raikage A's elbow, crackling and whistling as it suddenly attacked the mysterious man.

Just as Raikage Ai's elbow was about to strike the mysterious man's mask.

Zheng——!
A clear whistle pierced the air.

A black scythe emerged from the billowing smoke, slicing through the haze.

It clashed violently with the metal bracers on Raikage Ai's wrist, producing a crisp 'clang' sound and sparks flying!
At the same time, Raikage A's concentrated Lightning Release chakra on his elbow inexplicably decreased by more than half.

"Who!" The attack failed, and Lightning Release: Heavy Flow Burst was interrupted again. Raikage A immediately withdrew.

"Lord Raikage!" At this moment, Mabui and two guards of the Raikage's guard, Darui and Xi, also arrived at the battlefield and stood on either side of Raikage Ai, assuming a fighting stance.

"Who are the enemies?" Darui gripped his longsword, staring intently at the three masked figures that emerged from the smoke.

As the smoke dissipated, two masked figures dressed in robes were seen floating in the air.

The person on the right has a ribbon fluttering behind them, and they look like a woman.

The person on the left wearing a mask is dressed in a black robe and holds a black scythe.

The two floated in mid-air like ghosts.

Raikage A stared intently at the masked man with the scythe, feeling a significant amount of his chakra being drained.

"That's him!" Mabui also saw the mysterious figure opposite him, his pupils shrinking sharply: "The mysterious ninja who killed Kainu, as reported by Konoha!"

"What?!" Darui and Xi were also somewhat taken aback.

As the Raikage's bodyguards and also high-ranking members of the Cloud Village, they naturally knew about the news that had come from Konoha a few days ago.

“I thought it was just a lame excuse from Konoha, but it turns out it’s true.” Darui looked at the two masked figures floating in mid-air with a solemn expression. “And it seems that they are not alone.”

The report from Konoha mentioned a mysterious ninja, but the ones who attacked Kumogakure were three masked men!
"Ada!" A whooshing sound came from overhead.

Killer Bee, carrying seven swords, also arrived at the battlefield.

"Hey~ Are you alright, bro?"

Killer Bee first greeted his older brother, Raikage A, and then looked at the three mysterious masked men after the smoke dissipated.

"Hey~ why did you attack Kumogakure just now~?" Killer Bee asked, striking a pose with his hands.

With his malicious perception fully activated, Uzumaki Menma could already sense that all the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village were rapidly approaching.

Before long, figures landed around the Raikage Building, and a ninja wearing a Kumogakure headband surrounded Uzumaki Menma.

"When the Cloud Village attacks others, do they ever make up a reason?" A deep voice came from under Menma's white three-eyed fox mask.

"Today, I'm simply returning your tricks to you." With that, Menma ordered the two nine-faced beasts behind him, "Kill these minions!"

The Jade Maiden waved her ribbons, and the Third Death God raised his scythe.

They rushed out from the left and right respectively.
