Chapter 97: The Defeat of the Cloud Ninja

"Father...Father, how is it possible?"

The Fourth Raikage, who was already seriously injured, was shocked to see his father being killed instantly in one move.

In the final analysis, it was because the Third Raikage was too confident in his strongest shield. If it were the Fourth Raikage, he would never dare to let Uchiha Tobiha's Kusanagi sword pierce his heart, because his lightning chakra mode could indeed break his defense.

"He who swims well drowns in water... After the strongest shield was breached, the death of the strongest Raikage was a foregone conclusion!"

Uchiha Feiyu let out a long sigh. With the vitality of the Third Raikage, even if his heart was pierced, he might be able to live for more than ten minutes, or even fight back a few more moves. Unfortunately, the evil spirit hurt his body and soul, and directly took the Third Raikage's life.

Uchiha Feiyu stretched out his hand and activated his ability to summon the soul of the Third Raikage, who had a small wound on his heart.

After taking the soul back, Uchiha Feiyu could feel that the soul in his hand was injured by the evil spirit and was slightly weak, but it was only weak and not unusable.

After killing the Third Raikage, Uchiha Feiyu turned his gaze to the Fourth Raikage. The Fourth Raikage was originally immersed in the grief and shock of his father's death. At this moment, when he saw Uchiha Feiyu's gaze, he suddenly shook his body and shouted loudly:

"Bi, take all the Kumo Ninjas and retreat!! You are allowed to use the full Tailed Beast Mode!!"

Killer Bee, who had already transformed into a half-tailed beast and was fighting with Minato Namikaze, was also shocked when he heard the voice of his elder brother. He turned his head and saw the standing body of the Third Raikage.

"Third-sama...how could this happen?!"

"Take everyone and run away. We, the Cloud Ninja, are defeated this time... Run away!"

The Fourth Raikage had a resolute expression on his face. Even though his bronze complexion had turned pale due to blood loss and soul damage, the lightning on his body became even brighter and more dazzling, and even a hint of blackening appeared on his originally tough body.

That's because the body can no longer withstand the lightning chakra that exceeds the limit, causing the body to be injured and on the verge of collapse.

Although this can raise the Fourth Raikage's strength to its peak in a short period of time, it will leave endless sequelae in the future. But obviously, the current Fourth Raikage no longer considers the future.

"Tsk, what a hassle. Teacher Orochimaru, I'll leave this seriously injured man to you!"

Uchiha Feiyu took a look at the Kusanagi sword stuck in the chest of the Third Raikage, and made up his mind that he would definitely print a summoning spell on this sword in the future. However, now that he was unarmed and most of his chakra was consumed, he decided not to fight with the Fourth Raikage.

Although the Fourth Raikage is now seriously injured, any ordinary ninja might have fainted directly, but it is precisely because of the difficulty of recovery from serious injuries and his determination to die that the Fourth Raikage is now probably in more danger than his normal state.

The pale-faced Orochimaru twitched his lips and wanted to say something, but found that Uchiha Feiyu beside him had gradually disappeared into the air. It was his camouflage concealment technique.

"Asshole, Uchiha brat, get out here and fight me like a man, you damn coward!"

At the moment when Uchiha Feiyu disappeared, a flash of bloody lightning flashed by, and the Fourth Raikage punched into nothingness, looked around, and suddenly roared angrily. He really didn't expect that the Uchiha brat in front of him was so shameless. Seeing that he had used a desperate forbidden technique, the other party actually disappeared!
Feeling the vitality draining away from his body and his body gradually becoming paralyzed by the lightning, the Fourth Raikage's eyes sparkled with blood and he suddenly turned his head to look at Orochimaru beside him.

Orochimaru twitched his lips, his face helpless, and stretched out his hand. Nine silver snakes flowed out from his sleeves, forming a silver snake sword, and he complained:
"If I accept two more disciples like this, I will probably lose my life!"

After becoming invisible, Uchiha Feiyu immediately sneaked back to the side of the Third Raikage, drew back his Kusanagi sword, and then, looking at the chaotic battlefield around him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The Third Raikage is dead, and the Fourth Raikage is almost dead, but only some ninjas on the edge of the battlefield saw it. It would take at least ten minutes for the news to reach every Cloud ninja.

Even if the Cloud Ninjas received the message and began to retreat, it would be difficult for them to get rid of the Konoha Ninjas who were entangled with them in a short period of time. In short, it would take at least half an hour for more than 5000 Cloud Ninjas to truly retreat.

And this half hour is the best time for Uchiha Feiyu to hunt!

……

The night fell quietly, and the battlefield that was fiercely fought during the day has now turned into a dead silent cemetery.

Now there are only Konoha's ninjas left on the battlefield, and they are collecting the bodies of the ninjas from their own village.

Orochimaru, with a pale face, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and even half of his long hair cut off, looked quite embarrassed. He was sitting on a rock, directing his ninjas to clean up the battlefield.

A golden flash appeared in front of Orochimaru. Orochimaru glanced at Minato Namikaze and asked:
"How was it? Did you keep him?"

Minato Namikaze lived up to his sunny appearance, with disheveled blond hair, sweat all over his face, he was panting and pale, looking as if his chakra was exhausted.

"No... The Jinchūriki's defense is too strong, and my attacks are basically ineffective."

After hearing this, Orochimaru showed no regrets on his face and spoke calmly:
"If they didn't stay, then they didn't stay. This time the Third Raikage and his successors are all dead. If the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is also killed, it may not be a good thing for Konoha."

Konoha itself is located in the center of the continent, surrounded by four wars. From a military perspective, this kind of terrain means that if you are strong, you can conquer the world, but if you are weak, you will be devoured by a pack of wolves and tigers. Unfortunately, since the first Hokage and Uchiha Madara started a civil war, they have lost the opportunity to truly conquer the world.

If Konoha appears too strong nowadays, the other ninja villages, big and small, will eventually unite and attack it together.

Even though the Cloud Ninja and the Sand Ninja were both crippled, Konoha's losses were not small at all. Although there were no casualties among the Kage-level strongmen, nearly half of the grassroots ninjas below had been killed or injured.

Otherwise, facing the nearly 4000 invading ninjas of the Cloud Ninja, Konoha would not have sent out only less than 3000 ninjas to deal with it. It was because the grassroots were already in an emergency and there were not many people left.

"Besides... Feiyu hasn't come back yet. I'm afraid he's still hanging around behind those Cloud Ninjas. With that brat's murderous intent, the Cloud Ninjas will definitely suffer!"
