The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

"What?!" Nara Shikaku's expression changed drastically.

Previously, due to secrecy, he only said that he was there to hunt down rogue ninjas, but never mentioned the tailed beasts and Jinchuriki. Who knew that this "Uchiha Itachi" was so despicable that he actually threw the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to the Land of Rain.

He quickly added:

"Wait a minute, that child is one of our village's companions. He was kidnapped by this rogue ninja. Please return him to us."

Uchiha An, standing to the side, said sarcastically:

"What kind of companions?"

"He's just an orphan!"

"Everyone in the village regarded him as a jinx, and they all hated and scolded him. I couldn't stand the sight of him, so I took him with me when I left."

"He..." Nara Shikaku opened his mouth, but he couldn't reveal the most important secret. He couldn't find any words to refute it, so he could only say, "He is the village's orphan. The village will naturally take good care of him. There's no need for outsiders to ask."

"Orphans?" Konan looked at them deeply, her heart stirred. She bent down, reached out, picked up Naruto Uzumaki from under her feet, and turned to leave.

"You can leave this child in our village for now, and we'll come back and take him away after you've resolved your issues."

"Wait, stop right there!"

The ninjas in Konoha all knew that Naruto Uzumaki was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so how could they dare to let him fall into the hands of ninjas from other countries? They immediately disregarded any prohibitions.

Before Nara Shikaku could give the order, several ninjas leaped across the boundary line and blocked Konan's way.

"Put down the child you're holding!"

"Does your Land of Rain intend to become an enemy of Konoha?"

Looking at the unbridled Konoha ninjas before her, Konan's face darkened, and sheets of white paper fluttered up again, swirling around her body.

"Looks like you didn't take what I said to heart at all!"

Nara Shikaku frowned, crossed the border, and said in a deep voice:

"We do not wish to have any conflict with the Land of Rain, so please exercise restraint."

"Every word we said before was true, and we showed the Land of Rain the utmost respect. We hope your village will not make a mistake."

Although Konan seemed ready to resort to violence, Nara Shikaku had seen many ninjas like her who seemed to value the dignity of their village, but in the end, most of them would just obediently give in when faced with strong pressure.

He also mistook Konan for one of these "all bark and no bite" ninjas, so he subconsciously expressed a pressuring attitude in his words.

This has the complete opposite effect!

"Respect?" Xiao Nan raised an eyebrow. "You call this respect?"

"They are waging war on my land, ignoring my warnings, and brazenly advancing towards the village..."

"If this is what you call respect, then show me what disrespect truly means!"

Before she finished speaking, a massive amount of white paper shot out from her body, soaring into the sky like a white waterfall, defying gravity, and transforming into the shape of a shuriken in mid-air.

Tens of thousands of paper shuriken spun rapidly in the air, their edges flashing with the cold light of chakra, creating a sharp gust of wind and emitting a whistling sound.

"The art of paper shurikenjutsu!"

As Xiao Nan's cold yet angry voice fell, countless paper shuriken, like an army receiving orders, suddenly accelerated and rained down, covering the entire battlefield with a piercing sound.

"How dare you!" The ninjas from Konoha Village never imagined that a ninja from a tiny country would dare to attack them. They were immediately enraged and instantly went into battle mode, forming hand seals to retaliate.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Only Nara Shikaku maintained some restraint, dodging while shouting loudly:

"You need to think this through; you're deliberately starting a war!"

"Don't think that just because you have Hanzo the Salamander protecting you, you can stand against a great power!"

"As a ninja from a small country, one must be even more careful with one's words and actions!"

This is the bitter fruit of information asymmetry. He felt that his words were neither humble nor arrogant, leaving enough room for maneuver. Even if Hanzo the Salamander were here, he wouldn't be able to find fault with them.

In fact, if the salamander were truly hiding here, it would probably have already retreated.

The crucial problem is that... Hanzo the Salamander is already dead, and now he is facing a different group of people!

A massive fireball erupted from the mouth of a Konoha ninja, the scorching flames distorting the air as it collided violently with the group of paper shuriken.

Wherever the fireball passed, the paper shuriken burned and carbonized, turning to ashes like moths drawn to a flame.

A violent whirlwind then swept in, the wind fueling the fire and the fire aided by the wind, creating a huge whirlwind of flames.

The paper shuriken trembled violently during the combined wind and fire ninjutsu. Many were forcibly deflected and scattered, while many more were directly ignited and burned.

But subsequent paper shuriken kept appearing one after another, like an endless white wave constantly washing down, much faster than the ninjas' ninjutsu.

The Konoha ninjas, who didn't have time to unleash any more ninjutsu, had no choice but to draw their short swords and parry and dodge.

But they didn't realize that these paper shuriken were different from real shuriken.

These paper shuriken are a special effect of the secret technique, Shikigami Dance. Just like Nara Shikaku's shadow manipulation technique, each paper shuriken is like an extension of her limbs. Even if they are thrown out, they can still be completely controlled by Konan.

The paper shuriken that they had parried drew an arc in the air, then circled halfway around and shot back from behind them.

Many ninjas were caught off guard by the paper shuriken and were hit on the spot.

Although this paper shuriken is made of paper, with the enhancement of the secret technique, Shikigami Dance, its edges are even sharper than steel. When spinning at high speed, it is a weapon that can even cut through the black rod in Tsuchiya's hand.

Now, what are the effects when it's applied to a person?

"what……"

With screams of agony, many ninjas were cut in half at the waist. Those who were cut in half did not die immediately and lay on the ground emitting mournful howls.

The battlefield instantly transformed into a hellish scene, with blood flying everywhere, severed limbs and dismembered bodies scattered about, and intestines and stomachs protruding from the ground.

Many paper shuriken were stained a striking blood red, and as they spun at high speed, they splattered blood everywhere, as if a blood rain had fallen from the sky.

"No!" Nara Shikaku's eyes reddened, and he no longer cared about his fear of Hanzo the Salamander.

He made a gesture, and Akimichi Choza immediately rushed forward, his body transforming into a ball of flesh, charging out like a chariot, crashing headlong into Konan.

"Human Bomber!"

Konan doesn't have Susanoo, so she can't go toe-to-toe with Akimichi Choza, but she can fly!

On her back, near her shoulder blades, a few pieces of paper fluttered and instantly formed a pair of enormous, pure white wings.

With a slight flap of its wings, it created a powerful gust of air and soared into the sky like an angel, easily avoiding the fatal impact from the ground. Only a few scraps of paper drifted down like feathers, but as they approached the ground, their color suddenly changed, transforming into explosive tags that exploded with a bang.

Choza Akimichi missed his target and was instead hit by the explosive tag. If it weren't for his strong physique, he would have been blown to death on the spot.

As for the "Shadow Binding Technique" lurking behind them, it naturally missed completely, not even touching the hem of Konan's clothes.

But they also reacted very quickly.

As Akimichi Choza was being bombed, he immediately sprang to his feet, his size rapidly increasing. While enduring the damage, he swiftly chased after Konan, opening his giant hand and grabbing at her with a whistling sound.

Xiao Nan flapped her wings and was about to rise higher, but suddenly her mind went blank and she froze for a moment. Her hand loosened and the child she was holding fell to the ground.

She instinctively turned to grab it, but was firmly grabbed by Akimichi Choza.

"Go to hell!"

With a loud shout, Akimichi Choza squeezed his hand so hard that he crushed Konan to pieces.
