Starting from Naruto: The Invincible Road of the Slacking Girl

In the rain, two figures flashed across the cordon outside the Hidden Cloud Village like lightning.

Darui's silver-white hair was wet by the rain and stuck to his forehead.

He squinted his eyes, trying to make out the outline of the village in the distance.

"Something's wrong..." He slowed down, his voice so low that it was almost drowned out by the sound of rain.

Sammi followed closely behind, her blonde hair already soaked.

She followed Darui's gaze and her pupils suddenly contracted. "This...is impossible..."

The Hidden Cloud Village, which was intact when they left a few hours ago, was now mostly in ruins.

Only half of the towering Raikage office building remained, and the broken steel bars pierced the sky like ferocious fangs.

The training ground, the ninja tool warehouse, the residential area...all were razed to the ground by some terrible force.

A strange red smoke was rising from the charred land.

"Hurry!" Darui's voice suddenly rose.

The closer you get to the center of the village, the more shocking the scene becomes.

The ground showed radial cracks, as if it had been hit by a meteorite.

The air was filled with the smell of burning and blood, and the rain washed away the bloodstains, forming light red streams.

"Lord Raikage! Lord Bi!" Samui's voice began to tremble.

She saw survivors gathered in the square in the distance, with medical ninjas moving among them, but there were too many wounded.

Darui's sight suddenly froze on the edge of the square - a wooden man was kneeling there, holding a tall figure in his arms.

Even through the rain, the iconic sunglasses and dark skin were enough for Darui to recognize who it was.

"That's..." Darui felt his legs suddenly lose strength, and he staggered forward.

Samui was a step faster than him, her blonde hair leaving a bright trail in the rain.

When she saw clearly Kirabi in the wooden man's arms, she froze in place as if struck by lightning.

The wound on Kirabi's abdomen was horrifying, almost piercing through his entire body.

Those eyes that always showed a smile were now wide open, letting the rain hit them.

"Yukito!" Samui knelt down, his voice choking, "What happened? Which ninja village attacked us? Iwagakure? Konoha?"

The wooden man slowly raised his head, and rain flowed down her cheeks. It was hard to tell whether it was tears or rain.

"A sneak attack?" Her voice was too hoarse to be human.

Darui squatted down and gently held Kirabi's cold wrist, where there was no pulse.

His throat was tight and he could hardly speak: "Who... is it?"

"The God of Physical Techniques...Yuxi." When You Mu Ren said this name, his body trembled unconsciously.

Darui and Samui gasped at the same time.

Samui's golden eyebrows were tightly furrowed: "The legendary... the woman who defeated both the first Hokage Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara? She is really still alive..."

Yukito sneered, "Not only is she alive...but..."

Her fingers unconsciously grasped Kirabi's clothes, "The Eight-Tails in Kirabi's body...was pulled out by her bare hands."

Darui felt a chill run up his spine.

Extracting the tailed beast with bare hands?

How can this be?

"Where is Lord Raikage?" Samui asked anxiously.

Yumu Ren pointed with his chin at the makeshift medical tent not far away: "Still alive... barely."

Darui stood up, rain dripping down his silver hair, "The tailed beasts should be meaningless to a being like her."

"Yuxi..." The voice of the wooden man suddenly became unusually clear

As if to burn every word into their memory, "She plans to capture all the tailed beasts and force the five major ninja villages to hold the Five Kage Summit. She wants to unify the ninja world... and start the Fourth Ninja World War."

Samui stood up suddenly, and the rain splashed across her body in an arc: "What! You want to unify the ninja world——"

"Before the Eight-Tails was captured..." Yubokuto interrupted her,

His eyes became extremely sharp, "It is said that Yuxi's strength far exceeds that of the Six Paths Sage...millions of times."

This sentence was like a heavy hammer, smashing all the anger and doubts of Darui and Samui to pieces.

The Sage of Six Paths...

He is the ancestor of ninjas, a god-like existence.

Millions of times more than him?

What kind of concept is that?

"Then... why are you still alive? Wasn't your tailed beast extracted?" Darui asked softly, then realized how cruel his question was.

Yukito was surprisingly calm, "She saved me because she was in a good mood, even though she lost the power of the tailed beast."

She ran her fingers over the wound on her abdomen, which had healed.

Only a hideous scar was left. "She killed me... and saved me, just like... playing with an ant."

Just then, a ninja from the intelligence squad stumbled over.

His face was as pale as paper: "Report! According to preliminary statistics... It only took Yuxi... five minutes from the time he attacked the village to the time he left."

“Five minutes?” Samui repeated in disbelief. “Destroyed half of the Hidden Cloud Village, defeated the Raikage and Master Hibiki, extracted the Eight-Tails… It only took five minutes?”

The intelligence ninja nodded tremblingly: "She...she created a red energy body above the village...the moment it dropped down, the Hidden Cloud Village...her physical skills...could not capture her movements at all. The attack of the Eight-Tails had no effect on her...her body took the strongest lightning escape of the Raikage, and she didn't even break her skin..."

Darui felt dizzy and he held onto Samui's shoulders to avoid falling.

five minutes...

The power accumulated by the Hidden Cloud Village over decades was wiped out in five minutes.

Such an enemy...

How to fight against it?

"And..." The intelligence ninja swallowed his saliva, "She seems to have mastered some kind of time-space ninjutsu... She easily stuffed Master Eight-Tails into a different dimension..."

Yubokuto let out a shrill laugh, "In her eyes, we are worse than ants... worse than death... Raikage-sama was seriously injured... the village was destroyed... and she let me go just because she was 'in a good mood'..."

Her laughter gradually turned into sobs and finally into silence.

Samui clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms: "Are you...giving up like this?"

Darui looked towards the medical tent, his vision blurred by the rain: "What will Raikage-sama... do?"

at this time.

A violent chakra fluctuation suddenly erupted in the medical tent, followed by a heart-wrenching roar: "Bi——!!!"

The tent was torn into pieces by the violent lightning chakra, and the figure of Raikage Ai appeared in the ruins.

He was wrapped in bandages and his right arm hung awkwardly, but his eyes were burning with terrifying rage.

"Lord Raikage..." Yubokuto called softly, with an unprecedented fragility in his voice.

The Raikage stumbled towards them, each step seeming to take all his strength.

When he saw Kirabi in the wooden man's arms, he froze in place as if struck by lightning.

"B..." He knelt down

With shaking hands, he touched his brother's cold face, "I'm sorry... I couldn't protect you..."

Darui had never seen the Raikage so vulnerable.

This man, who was known for his toughness, was now like a child who had lost everything, his shoulders shaking violently.

"Lord Ai..." Samui said softly.

The Raikage's voice suddenly became unusually calm, and he slowly stood up.

The sadness in his eyes was gradually replaced by a kind of determination, "Call all the ninjas who can still move, count the casualties... and repair the communication equipment."

"You want to...?" Darui asked.

The Raikage's eyes swept across the ruins and the weeping villagers.

Finally it landed on Killer Bee's body: "Convene a Five Kage meeting."

You Mu Ren raised his head suddenly: "But Yu Xi wants us to--"

"I know her purpose." The Raikage interrupted her, his voice as cold as steel, "But the Hidden Cloud Village will not surrender. If she wants war... we will give her war."

Darui looked at the Raikage's back and suddenly understood something.

Facing an existence like Yuxi, resistance may be meaningless...

But there are some things that you have to do even though you know you will fail.

This is the dignity of being a ninja.
