Chapter 187 The Third Raikage's Backstabbing
Chapter 187 The Third Raikage's Backstabbing
noon.
As agreed, this is the time for Iwagakure and Kumogakure to meet up and launch a general offensive against Konoha.
The Third Raikage, A, stood at the very front of the group, with thousands of elite Kumogakure soldiers behind him, each poised to unleash their lightning chakra.
"Time is up."
Raikage glanced at the sun overhead, his brow furrowing slightly, and his tuft of mustache twitched.
"Where's that old bastard Ohnoki? Why hasn't he made a move yet? Is he too slow because he has short legs?"
Just then.
"Whoosh—smack!"
A red signal flare rose into the air from the dense forest on the flank, exploding in mid-air and creating a conspicuous cloud of smoke.
That was the attack signal agreed upon by Iwagakure.
"Hmph, so you've finally arrived?"
The Raikage grinned menacingly, his Lightning Release Chakra Armor erupting instantly, his hair standing on end like a blue lion.
"Charge with me! Tear Konoha's defenses apart!"
"roar--!!!"
The Cloud Village army roared thunderously, charging towards the Leaf Village's positions like a blue torrent.
however.
Just as they had charged less than 500 meters, a roar suddenly came from the flank where the friendly Iwagakure troops were supposed to be providing cover.
"Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique!"
Suddenly, the earth flipped over, and two huge hemispherical rocky mountains rose up from both sides of the Cloud Hidden Army without warning, and quickly closed in, attempting to crush the vanguard into mincemeat!
"What?!"
The Cloud Ninjas at the forefront paled, and the ground beneath their feet trembled.
"This ninjutsu is targeting us! It's aimed at us!"
"Boom!"
As the boulders closed in, although most of the Cloud Ninja managed to dodge thanks to their agility and activated Lightning Release, dozens of unfortunate souls were still buried alive, their screams crushed by the rocks.
Immediately afterwards, a rain of rocks and explosive clay poured down from the flanks, accompanied by a series of explosions.
"Iwagakure! You treacherous bastards!"
The Third Raikage abruptly stopped, turned to look at his flank, and his single eye almost spitting fire.
He saw it.
In that dense forest, Huang Tu, the commander of Yan Yin, was leading a large force, coldly watching this side, his hands still forming hand seals.
"Is this what they call 'convergence'? Good! Very good!"
Enraged, the Raikage laughed, his lightning surging to its limit, transforming him into a blinding blue bolt of lightning, his terrifying chakra crushing the rocks beneath his feet.
"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish first!"
Instead of retreating, he advanced, turning his direction and charging alone against the tide of ninjutsu towards the main force of Iwagakure.
……
Konoha Command Post High Ground.
Nishikawa Tetsu put down his binoculars, a knowing smile playing on his lips. Although the scene was bloody, it was a good thing for Konoha.
"A fight broke out."
He turned to look at Jiraiya and Minato beside him, thankfully Iwagakure hadn't betrayed him.
"Those people from Iwagakure are really ruthless; they always strike with deadly precision. Now Kumogakure is caught in the middle, like a trapped beast."
"So when do we make our move?" Minato asked, his Flying Thunder God kunai already poised to strike. "Even though the Raikage has been betrayed, his strength shouldn't be underestimated."
"Wait a little longer."
Nishikawa Tetsu analyzed, "The Raikage is currently a wounded and berserk tiger. Whoever goes first will be in trouble. Let Iwagakure wear him down first, and we'll take care of the rest."
On the battlefield.
The Third Raikage is practically a humanoid Gundam.
He didn't dodge at all when faced with the overwhelming earth-escape techniques and exploding clay from Iwagakure.
"Hellish Thrust - Four-in-One Slash!"
A flash of blue light appeared, and the Earth Flow Wall, which Iwagakure was so proud of, was torn apart like paper. The Raikage charged into the group of Iwagakure ninja, like a tiger among sheep. With each punch, Iwagakure ninja suffered broken bones, torn tendons, and flying limbs.
"What...what kind of monster is that?"
Jiraiya's eyes twitched as he watched, and he swallowed hard.
"He withstood a B-rank ninjutsu without a scratch? He even survived being hit right in the face by an explosive tag? Is this what they call the strongest shield?"
"Not only his defense, but his attacks also live up to the name of the strongest spear," Nishikawa Tetsu added. "If we don't restrain him, countless ordinary ninjas will die if they go up against him."
Just as the three-way battle reached its climax, Iwagakure, despite its successful sneak attack, was forced to retreat by the berserk Raikage.
Suddenly, a commotion came from behind Konoha.
"That is..."
Minato's eyes lit up as he sensed a familiar chakra.
"Reinforcements have arrived!"
A well-equipped unit dressed in black special forces uniforms quickly entered the battlefield.
The leader was dressed in a dark blue high-necked robe, with a cold expression and scarlet Sharingan eyes.
Uchiha Fugaku.
He arrived with the elite of the Uchiha clan.
Heian Corporation only sent members of the Uchiha clan, since the battlefield in the Land of Rice Fields was also very important, and they couldn't draw all their personnel here.
"Looks like we're a little late."
Fugaku instantly appeared on the command post platform, glanced at Nishikawa Toru and Minato. Although his face remained expressionless, the slight rise and fall of his chest revealed the fatigue of the long march.
"It's not too late, senior, you've arrived just in time."
Nishikawa Tetsu smiled and pointed to the Raikage in the center of the battlefield, who was wreaking havoc.
"The Third Raikage is a tough nut to crack. Ordinary ninjutsu is useless against him. It'll be good to see the power of the heavy electromagnetic railgun."
Fugaku followed his finger and saw the monster covered in lightning that was kicking Iwa ninja like a ball. He frowned slightly.
"The Third Raikage... is indeed a good target."
Nishikawa Toru turned around and shouted to Akimichi Tou and the others who were already prepared behind him, "All troops line up! Heavy equipment warm-up!"
"yes!"
The Third Raikage, who was frantically slaughtering Iwa ninja, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
That feeling was ominous; it was an intuition he had honed through countless brushes with death.
He turned around abruptly and looked towards the high ground of Konoha.
"What is that...?"
"Launch!" Nishikawa Tetsu ordered.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Thirty blue-purple beams of light instantly pierced the sky, carrying terrifying kinetic energy and penetrating power, and were concentrated on Lei Ying.
"The strongest lightning armor!"
The Raikage sensed a deadly threat, roared, and concentrated the lightning on his body to its maximum, causing all his hair to stand on end.
He dodged extremely fast, but he couldn't withstand the full coverage of thirty beams of light, and one of them still hit him.
The beam of light struck the lightning armor, unleashing a blinding flash of light and a violent explosion.
Even the shield, which was said to be the strongest, was forced to retreat repeatedly by the blast.
"Bang!"
The immense impact blasted a deep crater in the ground beneath Raikage's feet. After the dust settled, although Raikage was still standing, a trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
"You're injured?!"
The distant commander of the Hidden Rock Village, Huang Tu, was stunned.
They fought for ages and couldn't even scratch the Raikage, while the Konoha guys were bleeding as soon as they arrived?
Fugaku looked at the binoculars in his hand, and a satisfied smile finally appeared on his lips.
"Hmph, it's alright. It wasn't a waste of my money."
"Strike while the iron is hot!" Nishikawa Tetsu added at the opportune moment.
Minato knew it was time for him to make his appearance.
His eyes narrowed, and he grabbed a handful of specially made kunai. His golden figure vanished instantly.
The battlefield was in complete chaos.
Under the combined attacks of Iwagakure and Konoha, Kumogakure was forced into a series of defeats.
On the edge of this chaotic battle, in an inconspicuous corner.
White Zetsu poked half his head out from the tree trunk, looking at the chaotic scene with a comical smile on his face.
"Wow, this is quite a lively fight."
"That heavy electromagnetic cannon is really powerful; even the Raikage suffered from it."
"Isn't it time for Kirigakure to make their appearance?"
Hei Jue chuckled ominously twice: "No rush, it's not time yet."
