Finally, his gaze fell upon the Cloud Ninja beside him.
Even if I fight to the death, I might not be able to kill this flying Konoha brat.
"Let them go!"
With this order issued.
This not only represents the Raikage's compromise, but also the failure of the Hidden Cloud Village's invasion.
Even the Fourth Raikage probably didn't expect this.
His act of taking advantage of the chaos.
It's unbelievable that a nobody like him could turn things into such a mess.
A brat, a guy he never took seriously, that strange sword, that terrifying sword control ability!
I thought this was a challenge against Konoha.
His only rival was the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
Despite Minato Namikaze possessing unparalleled ninjutsu combined with terrifying speed.
But when they fought back then...
Minato Namikaze did not defeat him through sheer force of will.
Therefore, in the mind of the Fourth Raikage.
Although I acknowledge Minato Namikaze's strength and his victory.
But he didn't like that guy, and even looked down on him.
Because Minato Namikaze never fought him head-on.
But this guy in front of me is different.
This brat, even younger than Minato Namikaze, not only fought him head-on without sustaining any damage, but his terrifying sword was even able to pierce through his lightning armor and sever one of his arms.
And most importantly, this guy has a large-scale killing ability.
That overwhelming rain of swords.
Even he felt a chill run down his spine.
If it falls...
He is currently injured and has lost an arm, greatly weakening his fighting ability... It is really not advisable for him to fight for a long time.
"Lord Raikage, you are very wise."
Fang Yuan smiled.
But to the Fourth Raikage, that smile was as fake as could be.
Under the orders of the Fourth Raikage, the Cloud Ninja reluctantly made way for them.
Each person had a complex look in their eyes, filled with fear and anger.
Look at the person standing in the air on a sword.
On this day, the name Konoha Fangyuan was firmly remembered by the Hidden Cloud Village.
"Kai, take the two of them and hurry up, following the original planned retreat route."
Might Guy, who was panting heavily, suddenly heard a voice in his mind and his body froze slightly.
He nodded quickly.
He hoisted Kakashi and Shisui onto his left and right arms respectively, and sped away.
Just as Matt Kai's figure disappeared into the encirclement.
Fang Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
These three little brothers almost got killed here.
"So now..."
A strange smile appeared on his lips as he whispered to the Fourth Raikage:
"Lord Raikage, let me teach you a lesson!"
"Never believe what the enemy says on the battlefield."
After saying that, Fang Yuan immediately took off on his sword and chased after Might Guy.
and...
The rain of swords fell as he left.
As if out of control, it suddenly began to fall like a shooting star...
"not good!"
The Fourth Raikage was shocked. "Despicable bastard."
But he had no time to pursue; his immediate priority was to stop the rain of swords.
clap clap...
The rain stopped and the sky cleared.
The Fourth Raikage glanced at the disheveled crowd around him, and as he listened to the painful wails around him, hatred welled up in his heart like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Suddenly, a scene of blood flowing like a river and corpses strewn everywhere appeared before my eyes.
Despite the Cloud Ninja's immediate response.
However, many genin and chunin were still overwhelmed and riddled with holes.
"Fang Yuan!"
The Fourth Raikage gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Cough cough cough... Lord Raikage, what do we do now?"
Several elite Jonin gathered around and asked.
The Fourth Raikage fixed his gaze on the direction Fang Yuan had retreated, and after a long while... he suppressed his anger and said:
"Konoha doesn't seem as weak as we thought. Perhaps it's time to end this conflict."
"Lord Raikage, I am not reconciled. I must kill that brat."
One of the ninjas spoke up angrily.
The Fourth Raikage shook his head. "News just came back from the front lines. The Fourth Hokage suddenly appeared there and led his troops to attack Killer Bee and his men yesterday. Killer Bee and his men couldn't withstand the attack and have begun to retreat."
"Moreover, the movements of Iwagakure are unclear and may be detrimental to us."
He knew very well that the Hidden Stone Village, which was sitting on the sidelines watching the tigers fight, was not only keeping an eye on the Leaf Village.
If Yunyin reveals a flaw.
They would not hesitate to step forward and take a bite.
The Cloud Ninja were taken aback upon hearing this, and murmured:
"Are we just going to give up like this? Wouldn't all our previous efforts have been in vain?"
The Fourth Raikage felt a bitter taste in his mouth, but his expression remained unchanged. He patted the shoulder of the Cloud Ninja who had spoken and said:
"Don't be discouraged, we will have another chance."
The Cloud Ninjas, their faces grim, gritted their teeth and said:
"Damn it, Fang Yuan!"
……
Fang Yuan quickly reunited with the three of them, including Matt Kai.
The four of them did not linger at all.
They immediately sped off towards Konoha.
Upon hearing Fang Yuan say that he had tricked the Fourth Raikage in the end, Kakashi and the other two regretted not running faster.
I'm afraid the Fourth Raikage won't be able to swallow his anger and will send troops to pursue him.
That would really be a disaster...
Perhaps they were worried about being affected by the conflict between Konoha and Kumogakure.
The wandering ninjas throughout the Land of Hot Water had long since fled.
So Fang Yuan and his companions sped along the coastline of the Land of Hot Water for several days, encountering no ninjas except for a few fishermen.
A week later.
After going around in circles, the four of them finally made it back to the Land of Fire.
Within the territory of this country.
Fang Yuan soon encountered a Konoha ninja squad on reconnaissance patrol.
Through these Konoha ninjas.
Only then did they learn about the latest situation.
After hearing the news that Minato Namikaze had intervened and forced Killer Bee to retreat.
Fang Yuan thought to himself, "As expected."
As a young man, Minato Namikaze might not be able to sit still.
These Konoha ninjas all stared at Fang Yuan with burning eyes.
With the changes in the Hidden Cloud Village's ninja army.
Some information simply cannot be hidden.
News of Fang Yuan and his companions' actions behind enemy lines had already spread.
To a certain extent.
It was Fang Yuan who stopped the conflict.
Fang Yuan's reputation in Konoha is growing.
Even if Minato Namikaze is slightly weaker than him.
But Fang Yuan actually knew.
Just as I remember.
The Cloud Village's surprise attack on Konoha.
It was just a test.
The trigger for this probing was the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage.
It can be said that this conflict between Konoha and Kumogakure is entirely a consequence of the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha.
It was a chain reaction of Tsunade's departure, Orochimaru's defection, and Jiraiya's departure from the village.
Regardless of the Cloud Village itself.
Konoha was still the one that was ambushed.
Neither side intends to go to war.
Therefore, after the attack failed, Kumogakure expressed its willingness to negotiate with Konoha.
Regarding the request for peace talks from Kumogakure.
The Third and Fourth Hokage readily accepted.
Konoha is currently unaware of the battle between Fang Yuan and the Fourth Raikage, but even if they did, Konoha would still choose to negotiate with Kumogakure.
Because Konoha can no longer afford another Shinobi World War.
As the representatives of both sides made contact.
Konoha and Kumogakure have effectively ceased hostilities.
The Cloud Village's raiding force also withdrew from the Land of Fire several days ago...
