Chapter 68: Chapter 69: The embarrassed Raikage, the beaten Sarutobi Hiruzen
Three days later, Kumogakure Village.
"I don't know when Lord Raikage will come back from this expedition."
"I don't care about this, I just want to know where Lord Raikage will hit this time." The two village Shinobi were bored and chatted without a care.
"It shouldn't be too far."
"Be bold!" A village ninja chuckled and said:
"The three thousand Shinobi taken by Lord Raikage are all elites, and they might be able to attack Konoha directly."
"Is it possible?" Another ninja replied not very confidently.
"Wait! Who is that!" The other person stood up suddenly and looked at the figure that suddenly came into view from a distance. The Two had the same dark skin, one carrying the other, running towards Kumogakure Village.
"Yes, it's Lord Raikage and Killer Bee!" After the two approached, they finally saw their faces clearly. The two Kumo ninjas were shocked.
"What is going on here?" Why were only Raikage-sama and B-sama back? What about the others?!
Soon after, inside the Raikage building.
"What? The army of three thousand Shinobi, all destroyed?"
Darui looked at the Fourth Raikage, who looked extremely weak, and couldn't believe it. He has been an assistant to the Raikage since the period of the Third Raikage. In Kumogakure Village, he is almost a senior figure second only to the Fourth Raikage.
"Lord Raikage, is there something wrong?" Darui said with a trembling voice. Just now, their ninja suddenly came to report, saying that the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee are back but only the two of them!
Even after the Fourth Raikage carried Killer Bee to the entrance of Kumogakure, he fell to the ground with all his strength and stamina being drained.
"..." The Fourth Raikage opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
After the Tailed Beast Bomb was blasted back, Killer Bee controlled the Eight Tails and tried his best to survive the explosion. After that, Killer Bee went into a coma immediately after.
After that the Eight Tails Gyūki left a few pieces of its tentacles to confuse Nàiluò and the Konoha Shinobi. He had then carried Killer Bee all the way back. From the Land of Fire, all the way through The Land of Sound and the Land of the moon.
Three full days.
Even with Fourth Raikage's physique and being already badly injured he still ran for so long. Reluctantly insisting on returning to Kumogakure, he couldn't hold on and fell down.
"All of them are dead" Seeing the look of the Fourth Raikage, Durai understood what it meant. For a while, he was in a trance. The troop of nearly three thousand did not return.
"No, what about Yugito She also…." Darui stopped abruptly after speaking, he did not dare to say the latter words. Losing a force of 3,000 all at once, and if the two-Tailed Jinchūriki, Yugito, was also lost, the blow to Kumogakure would have been too drastic.
" I am not sure…." The Fourth Raikage reluctantly shook his head.
"Yugito was knocked out by that damn bastard and couldn't get up again. After that, the Tailed Beast Bomb exploded, and I am not sure whether Yugito had survived the explosion."
"That is, is it possible she is still alive?" Darui breathed out a sigh of relief suddenly. It's good that she may be alive, with this she can come back when she can. Although they were defeated this time, Konoha's Hokage Hiruzen wouldn't have the guts to keep their Jinchūriki and not return her.
"That's not right! How could Konoha have arrived so soon? What about the Third Hokage? Did he decide to deploy his Shinobi so soon?" What's more, even if Konoha had left directly after receiving the news, it would be impossible to stop their Shinobi assault troops so quickly!
"I don't know about the old guy Sarutobi. But Konoha's ninja flew to the battlefield upon a group of strange birds!" A, recalled gloomily.
"Lord Raikage!" At the door of the Raikage's office, An Anbu Shinobi suddenly came to report: "Lord Raikage, Konoha's Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, has arrived at the village gates alone!"
"WHAT!" A, split his desk with a palm with an angry expression upon his face !
"Who does he think he is, Sarutobi Hiruzen? Does he think that he is that bastard Hyuga Nàiluò? How dare he come here alone!" With that said, the Fourth Raikage smashed the window and jumped out, rushing towards the entrance of the village.
"Lord Raikage, I heard that none of the people who went on the attack expedition came back?"
"Lord Raikage, is the rumor true? How could it be possible that no one came back!"
"Lord Raikage"
On the way, the villagers who saw the Fourth Raikage coming out of the Raikage building came forward to inquire. Listening to these voices, the Fourth Raikage became even more irritable. He had no idea how to explain this situation to the people of the village!
Not daring to stop, the Fourth Raikage rushed towards the entrance of the village.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you old thing dare to come here alone!" Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen who was talking to the Ninja guarding the village entrance, the Fourth Raikage directly punched him in anger!
"Your Excellency Lord Raikage, puff!" He had run away for three days and three nights without daring to stop due to his injuries. He had just fled to Kumogakure but was directly beaten up by the Fourth Raikage!
-Blood spurted out of his mouth!
".. Lord Raikage, this is a misunderstanding!"
The ninja who was dull for a while, hurriedly stepped forward to block it. If he doesn't stop it, Sarutobi Hiruzen would be killed. After a while.
"You mean, you defected?" The Fourth Raikage, and all the high rank Cloud Shinobi who had followed, looked at each other. Why are things so magical today? First, the Cloud Shinobi assault force was completely wiped out save for 2 and 1 currently unknown. Now they had heard that Konoha's Third Hokage had defected?
Were they dreaming now? Or were they trapped within a genjutsu?
"It's true." Hiruzen's face turned black from anger and shame. After running for so long, he has almost completely lost his strength. He had originally hoped to retaliate against Nàiluò with the power of Kumogakure. However, after coming over, he was beaten up violently by the Fourth Raikage and was almost killed on the spot!
"What is going on with Konoha?" Darui was now completely confused. Their Hokage has defected. Who is the blocking unit led by Konoha? Hiruzen was silent for a while, sighed, and spoke of everything that had happened. When the matter was finished, the scene was silent.
"Hyuga Nàiluò, together with the major patriarchs, dismissed you, and after doing so decided to send you to jail. But you couldn't accept it and then you decided to escape?" Darui summed up and asked.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen has done a lot to beautify himself during his narration, Darui still understood the general underlying meaning. Hiruzen's face darkened and nodded silently.
"Why didn't you kill him? Why didn't you kill that bastard?!" The Fourth Raikage thought of the assault troops that had been wiped out, his eyes turned red, and roared at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Do you think I didn't want to? No one was able to kill that damn bastard!" Sarutobi Hiruzen was also angry.
"What about the Caged Bird seal? Isn't he from the Hyuga branch house? Why didn't you Kill him with the Caged Bird Seal!"
"I tried it! It didn't work!" Hiruzen wasn't in a good mood before but it got even worse now.
"Then what about you, what use do you have!" The Fourth Raikage stepped forward and punched Sarutobi Hiruzen in the face again.
"You can't even handle the matters within your own village. You can kill Nàiluò the scourge, and all the major patriarchs of your village had asked for you to be dismissed. Why don't you die! Aren't you so embarrassed to keep on living?!" The Fourth Raikage continuously kept on punching Hiruzen.
Although both of them escaped for three days and three nights. But the Fourth Raikage was already stronger, and only needed a short break to regain some of his strength and stamina. Therefore, the tired and hungry Sarutobi Hiruzen had almost no power to fight back.
"Lord Raikage, don't fight, you'll be injured if you fight again!" The Cloud Shinobi nearby stepped forward to stop them.
"Where is the vanguard of your Cloud Shinobi?" Hiruzen, who avoided the brunt of the Raikage's wrath, had asked. He fled to Kumogakure, with the idea of wanting to use their power to retaliate. Revenge against Hyuga Nàiluò…..and revenge against Konoha who had betrayed him!
Suddenly, Hiruzen noticed something was wrong. He had previously received information that the Cloud Shinobi assault force was led by the Fourth Raikage himself. Why is the Fourth Raikage now here back at his Village? After his voice fell. This time, not only the Fourth Raikage, but the other Cloud Shinobi looked at Hiruzen's eyes gradually.
"You dare to mention this! If you had killed Nàiluò long ago, my three thousand Shinobi would not have died!" The Fourth Raikage said with hatred in his tone.
"…" Sarutobi Hiruzen was dull for a moment.
What's with this situation? They are all dead?
How could it be so fast? According to his estimation, Konoha would take a lot of time to convene an interception of this force. And it would take at least one or two days with them making haste.
After this, without him, as Konoha's Hokage blocking unit, it is hard to say whether they would be able to stop the Cloud Shinobi assault unit!
"The assault force of Kumogakure Shinobi has been completely wiped out?" Hiruzen asked, incredulously.
"You bastard! Are you deliberately mocking us?!" The Fourth Raikage was furious and hit Sarutobi Hiruzen again. This time, no one stopped him. Even, they wanted to go forward and beat him up!
"Lord Raikage!' An Anbu came to report the news.
"There is news from the sensor Shinobi that there are a large number of Shinobi riding on big strange birds, coming towards the village!"
"what?!" The Fourth Raikage stopped beating Hiruzen due to the shock. "They dare to attack us here?!".
