Crossover Anime: Plundering the Heavens and Building a Dimensional Empire

Because the main combat duties were handled by Tsunade, Hakubaki, and the others.

As for the Konoha ninjas at headquarters, they only needed to assemble an elite force to stand by and wait for a signal before taking action; their task was to clean up the battlefield.

Yes, it's that simple.

Yesterday, Nara Shikaku felt that Tsunade was being too reckless, and now that he has learned the specific mission and actually given the order, he is speechless.

Lady Tsunade, have you gone mad?

Or is it that Bai Mu, that arrogant Uchiha, is so arrogant that he can drive you crazy...? Hmm, is that even possible?

Although he was overthinking it, everything that was happening now made it impossible for Nara Shikaku to think about it any further; it really did have that kind of meaning.

"Shikaku, remember, the main base is very important. You stay here and send a signal if anything changes, and we will come back. However, this situation should not happen, because the main force of Kumogakure will be dealt with by us."

Before leaving, Tsunade didn't forget to remind Nara Shikaku to take good care of the house.

Nara Shikaku had nothing to say about this; it was impossible to stop it.

The only option then is to send the elite unit that was on standby as reinforcements.

It's impossible to just wait; we have to keep up.

In addition, the headquarters will continue to draw manpower from its ranks.

To prevent Tsunade from being in danger.

Nara Shikaku is currently unaware of any instructions from the village. He cannot wait for the Third Hokage's instructions, so he can only do his best to make a rescue.

Furthermore, if Minato arrives, there's still room for discussion.

If Minato Namikaze arrives, let him go there.

I hope it's not too late.

……

Shortly after Hakumu, Tsunade, Esdeath, and Alice Lise set off, another elite squad from the Cloud Village's headquarters, led by the Fourth Raikage, also left their base to conduct reconnaissance in Konoha's territory.

Of course, the main task is to meet Tsunade and Uchiha Hakubaku. If we are lucky enough to meet them, we should not miss the opportunity. But if we do not meet them, we should try to find out the true situation of Konoha.

"Lord Raikage, I love you!"

While traveling, a sensory ninja noticed the situation and quickly reported it to the Fourth Raikage.

"Condition?"

The Fourth Raikage stopped and landed on a large tree, asking with a serious expression, "What's going on?"

“A ninja is approaching, but the number is uncertain because of the amount of chakra…” The short, dark-skinned ninja muttered repeatedly, appearing very hesitant.

"Troli, what's wrong with you? Do you even know sensory ninjutsu?" The uncertainty of this sensory ninja made several impatient Cloud Ninjas anxious.

Are you sure?

Even the enemy cannot be identified?

What chakra level? That's just ridiculous.

Being questioned by his companions naturally infuriated Trori, who immediately said angrily, "Don't question my abilities, but this situation is really strange. I can clearly sense a chakra, but the problem is that this chakra is very strange. Besides, aren't operations usually carried out in groups? How could it be just one person? This doesn't make sense."

My perception is correct; there is indeed a chakra, and it is extremely powerful. The other side has no way to hide it, but it's unreasonable for it to be just one chakra.

When ninjas carry out missions, they usually work in one or more squads. However, on the battlefield, it is impossible for a single squad to act alone; at least two or more squads must cooperate.

In reconnaissance missions, it's even less likely that it's just one small team; it's at least multiple teams carrying out the mission. But right now, I can only sense one chakra, which is not right!

If that's the case, then there should be multiple strands of chakra, but there are none, which is illogical.

The Fourth Raikage made a decision instantly: "It seems the enemy has some tricks up their sleeve, but since there's a situation, we should hide for now. If it's someone from Konoha, then we'll launch a surprise attack."

That's just how ninjas are.

As soon as the Fourth Raikage gave the order, everyone quickly dispersed and hid.

The Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee were hiding in the same place, while the other twelve Cloud Ninja were hiding separately, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

Soon, four figures appeared in the field of vision of the Fourth Raikage and other Cloud Village ninja.

The people who arrived were naturally Tsunade, Hakumaki, Esdeath, and Alice Lisse.

The four of them quickly stopped and stood outside the forest.

Upon seeing this, the Fourth Raikage, who was hiding, knew that the enemy had been aware of his presence, and that a sneak attack was no longer possible, because the enemy must also have sensory ninjas, otherwise they would not have stopped and stood outside the forest without coming in. This situation must mean that they had been discovered.

Since that's the case, there's nothing to hide, and the Fourth Raikage is the first to appear.

Then, Killer Bee and a group of Cloud Ninja appeared one after another. More than ten people stood behind the Fourth Raikage, watching Bai Mu and his group with predatory eyes.

"Tsunade-hime, right?"

The Fourth Raikage's gaze fell on Bai Mu, and he said in a deep voice, "Then this brat is Uchiha Bai Mu!"

As for Esdeath and Alice Lise, he completely ignored them because the pressure he felt came from Tsunade and Hakumaki.

"Your Hidden Cloud Village just lost its Third Raikage, and now this Fourth Raikage has also come out. Are you really not afraid of dying?" Bai Mu said calmly and slowly.

"You brat, how dare you!"

The Third Raikage held immense prestige within the Hidden Cloud Village and was deeply loved by the ninja. Therefore, as soon as Bai Mu uttered these words, several Hidden Cloud Village ninjas immediately became angry and roared in protest.

Everyone else was so angry, so the Fourth Raikage, being the son of the Third Raikage, was naturally even angrier. However, he restrained his anger and looked at Bai Mu with a gloomy expression, coldly saying, "Kid, you really have guts."

"No need for nonsense. Since you've come, don't even think about leaving. We were looking for you anyway, because dealing with you would end this war. And now that you've delivered yourself to our doorstep, things are undoubtedly simpler."

Bai Mu spoke calmly, but his tone carried a hint of arrogance and disdain, showing that he didn't take the Fourth Raikage seriously at all.

Bai Mu's attitude undoubtedly enraged the ninjas of Kumogakure, and the group of dark-skinned, burly men began to curse loudly.

"You brat, how dare you talk back! Who do you think you are!"

"Kill those sons of bitches from Konoha."

The Fourth Raikage, his face contorted with rage, glared at Bai Mu and said in a tone of intense hatred, "Uchiha brat, let me show you what it means to be outmatched. Don't think you're so great just because you killed an old, weak, and disabled Third Mizukage. You don't know what a true Kage is!"

"Can I handle this guy?"

While the Fourth Raikage was making his threats, Esdeath asked Hakuba if she could fight him, and her smile turned sinister after she finished asking.

"No."

Bai Mu refused.

Since this is your prey, you should deal with the others instead. Anyway, there are more than ten Cloud Ninjas here, and you and Alice Lise can easily take care of them.

With their combined strength, these twelve Cloud Ninjas would face no pressure whatsoever; they could easily defeat them.

"Wait, who am I going to deal with?" Tsunade couldn't help but ask in a low voice when she saw this. She needed to know that if you were to deal with the Fourth Raikage and Esdeath and the others were to take care of the remaining Cloud Ninja, then who am I going to deal with?

"you?"

Bai Mu raised an eyebrow, looked them over, and then said, "That's all. I'll take on two of them. You and Esdeath, Alice, and the others can split the fight. There are twelve people on the other side, and you are three people, so it's a perfect one against three. It makes perfect sense."

What are your opinions?

Tsunade raised an eyebrow and asked.

Alice Lise didn't care. Anyway, it wasn't up to her to decide. She could only do whatever Bai Mu said, and nothing else mattered.

"Just listen."

That was her answer.

Esdeath, on the other hand, has already taken action, proving her point of view through her actions.

The ice spikes were generated instantly and shot towards the group of Cloud Ninjas, covering the entire target area.

They said they would each deal with the three Cloud Ninja individually, but that wasn't actually the case. Alice Lizard was clearly aware of this, so she immediately raised her hand the moment Esdeath made her move.

The Ice Star Spirit was activated instantly, unleashing a surge of cold air that enveloped the Cloud Ninja's location.

Upon seeing this, the Fourth Raikage's expression changed drastically. He had never expected that the two women would possess such abilities; he had underestimated them.

"Don't underestimate me, you bunch of bastards."

The Jonin of Kumogakure certainly wouldn't surrender without a fight, even though Esdeath and Alice Lisse had displayed powerful Ice Release ninjutsu.

But what about that?

The ninjas of Kumogakure will not retreat.

Several Cloud Ninja drew their swords and shouted, "Lightning Release: Crescent Moon Lightning!"

A crescent-shaped bolt of lightning flashed out and, with the movement of the ninja sword, quickly attacked the ice spikes and cold air, clearly intending to use it to defeat these ice-style ninjutsu.

But it didn't work; instead, it froze.

"what?"

One of the dark-skinned Cloud Ninjas found it hard to believe, his face showing disbelief as he muttered repeatedly, "No, this is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible." 5.2

Esdeath's voice suddenly rang out.

The next moment, ice spikes instantly emerged, piercing through the cloud ninja and killing him instantly. Blood splattered all over the ground, and his death was horrific.

"No!"

The sight of their companion falling to the ground, dying a gruesome death, instantly enraged the other two Cloud Ninja. They disregarded everything and charged directly at Esdeath with their swords.

The taijutsu of Kumogakure has its unique aspects, and combined with the characteristics of lightning release, the so-called ninjutsu and taijutsu are quite powerful. And these two are Jonin, with considerable strength.

However, they were still no match for Esdeath.

Of course, since Esdeath has two toys, she doesn't plan to kill them too soon; she can play with them slowly.

"With your strength, you are simply not enough to fight me, and you are even more pathetic in close combat." Esdeath did not intend to engage in close combat with the Cloud Ninja, and instead kept her distance.

This action undoubtedly led the two Cloud Ninja to believe that Esdeath was only strong in ninjutsu, but terrible in taijutsu, so they could kill her once they got close.

So what to do?

We must get close; we absolutely must get close.

It is to fight close combat at all costs.

Esdeath had already killed one of them and began toying with the remaining two Cloud Ninjas from a distance, while Alice Lizard on the other side also quickly killed one of them before fighting the remaining Cloud Ninjas on the spot.
