Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swordsmen Begins from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Chapter 322: Cloud Ninja will never be a slave!

"I will never forget the pain that Yahiko felt!"

"Now, Konoha will feel this pain!"

"God·Earth Explosion Star!"

Watching Konoha plunged into war, Uzumaki Nagato spread his hands and released a pitch-black energy ball.

As soon as the energy ball appeared, it distorted the surrounding space and showed amazing gravity.

Driven by Nagato's chakra, the gravity ball flew high into the sky above Konoha.

"Even though I don't know what that thing is, I absolutely cannot let you succeed."

Jiraiya, flying high in the sky, looked at the black ball rising rapidly into the air. Although he didn't know what kind of killer move it was, he knew that it must be extremely terrifying as the opponent had been able to gather and prepare it for such a long time.

Without any hesitation, he released all his chakra to perform Dust Release.

"Senjutsu, Dust Release, Limit Stripping Technique!"

A huge barrier enveloped the black ball, and the white light of Chen Dun shone inside, trying to decompose the black ball.

The light of the Dust Release only flashed for a moment before it was disintegrated. The gravity ball continued to penetrate the Dust Release barrier and flew high into the sky, and then the suppressed gravity exploded completely.

Under the terrifying gravitational force, the entire land of Konoha collapsed, and both buildings and people were quickly sucked upwards.

Fortunately, Konan had used the Eight Thousand Spear Seal to inform the Third Raikage and others in advance, and those who came were all Kage-level powerhouses, so they retreated from Konoha as soon as possible.

Once outside Konoha, although he was still affected by the gravity, he was able to resist it on his own and hurriedly moved away.

"waste!"

Seeing that the terrifying move was still taking shape, Shimura Danzo was so angry that he almost vomited blood and cursed his old friend for being a waste.

He immediately prepared to crack it by force. Although he was annoyed, he knew that the most important thing now was to crack that move.

He controlled the Dark Susanoo with his hands together, fused the two long swords into one, and then gathered his strength, preparing to forcibly chop and explode the gravity ball.

Tian Cun Hao did not leave, feeling the powerful gravitational force of the Earth-shattering Star from a close distance.

Although this level of Chibaku Tensei is definitely far inferior to Six Paths Chibaku Tensei, at least I can adapt to it.

The Konoha ninjas who were still in Konoha were terrified and desperate. They struggled to escape and tried all kinds of means, but unfortunately they still could not escape the terrifying gravity.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen used the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape immediately and summoned all the Impure World Army.

Everyone's eyes were on the Dark Susanoo who was ready to strike, wanting to see if he could break that terrible power.

Danzo Shimura was very confident in himself, and after such a while, his control over the Dark Susanoo of this size had greatly improved, and it had become completely solidified, allowing him to burst out with even stronger power. He was confident that he could destroy the gravity ball.

However, just as he was being pulled closer by the gravity and was about to swing his sword, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the north and hit Susanoo's shoulder. Although it did not cause any damage to Susanoo, the powerful impact caused its huge body to flip over, with its back facing the gravity ball.

"Damn it!"

This sudden attack made Danzo Shimura furious. He tried hard to control the wings of Dark Susanoo, wanting to flip it over and strike, but it was too late.

The back of the Dark Susanoo was sucked onto the gravity ball, and then countless rocks gathered around it, squeezing the Dark Susanoo madly under the influence of gravity.

As more and more rocks were absorbed, the squeezing force became stronger and stronger, and finally it turned into a huge stone ball with a diameter of two kilometers.

Everyone looked at the stone ball floating in the air in shock, unable to comprehend such a horrific method.

Is this still a ninja?

"Nagato, drink this and recover quickly."

Konan, who was running to a distance carrying the weak Nagato on his back, looked back at the huge stone ball and was also shocked. He immediately took out a bottle of high-concentration water of life and handed it over, which could speed up Nagato's recovery.

She was not stupid. She knew that the stronger Nagato's outburst became, the more dangerous it would be. Even the Hidden Cloud Village might regard it as a hidden danger.

She didn't want Nagato to have a conflict with the Hidden Cloud Village, so it would be best for Nagato to leave quickly.

At the same time, he quickly told the information about those eyes, especially Uchiha Madara's.

She knew that Nagato would never go to the Hidden Cloud Village with her, so she could only ask Nagato to protect her outside and not be tricked by Uchiha Madara.

Uzumaki Nagato hesitated for a moment, but finally took the bottle of water of life and drank it in one gulp. He soon realized the power of this water of life.

The body that was originally overdrawn recovered quickly as if a long drought finally gave way to a downpour. Even the stinging eyes were relieved, and the chakra was recovering rapidly.

"He should be dead!"

After the shock, Luo Sha still stared at the huge stone ball, thinking that Shimura Danzo could not withstand such power.

The Third Raikage said nothing, also staring at the huge stone ball, waiting for the final result.

Otsutsuki Shari and others who were pushed away were also watching quietly. This determined whether they should continue fighting.

After waiting for a long time, a crackling sound suddenly came from the huge stone ball, and then a dark tree root pierced out from it, followed by the second, the third...

Countless pitch-black tree roots pierced out and broke the huge solid stone ball apart, revealing a huge black lotus. Countless pitch-black roots were dancing underneath the black lotus, and there was a box in the core.

"what is that?"

Looking at the huge black lotus, everyone was shocked and confused. What on earth did Danzo Shimura create?
That’s right, this is the world-destroying black lotus carefully cultivated by Danzo Shimura. It is very similar to the sacred tree in shape, but its stem is much shorter.

This is Danzo Shimura's strongest means of saving his life, and it can also be regarded as a special complete tailed beast transformation.

It's just that the pressure from the Earth-shattering Star just now was too strong. Even a powerful object like the World-destroying Black Lotus was squeezed to the point of being covered with cracks, and the Nine-Tailed Fox, Six-Tailed Fox, and Five-Tailed Fox that were originally suppressed inside began to struggle frantically.

They are different from the Two-Tail and Three-Tail that have been refined for many years. They have been swallowed not long ago and still retain their original power, so they have the capital to resist.

After running rampant for a while, the World-Destroying Black Lotus was suddenly torn apart, and three strands of chakra rushed out of it, which were the Five-Tails, Six-Tails, and Nine-Tails that had been swallowed up.

Seeing the three tailed beast chakras rushing out, many people became jealous and flew high into the sky to grab them.

The Otsutsuki Shari rushed forward quickly but was blocked by Uchiha Fugaku and Orochimaru. Hyuga Hiashi flew forward and formed seals to perform sealing techniques to suppress the nearby Vulpix.

But before it could be sealed, a figure suddenly appeared and disappeared in an instant with the suppressed Vulpix.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

Hinata Hiashi reacted and was furious when he saw that it was the Second Hokage controlled by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although he was annoyed, he knew that now was not the time to dwell on this, and he quickly rushed towards the farther Five-Tails.

After just this delay, Otsutsuki Shari had already shaken off the siege of Uchiha Fugaku and Orochimaru, and rushed forward using the space eye technique, suppressing half of the Five-Tails and taking it away.

As for Yang Jiuwei, he was taken away by a golden figure that appeared, who was none other than Namikaze Minato.

Minato Namikaze had been hiding in the distance and watching. When he saw the opportunity to take action, he immediately took away Yang Jiuwei.

This scene caught the attention of Tamura Hao and Black Zetsu who was controlling the God of Thunder, and there was a meaningful look in their eyes.

Without the three tailed beasts causing trouble in his body, Danzo Shimura felt much better. He hurriedly put away the broken Black Lotus of Destruction, and his own condition was also very bad.

After looking at the Third Raikage and others angrily, Danzo Shimura decisively flew high into the sky to escape.

He had already lost this battle, and both himself and the Black Lotus of Destruction had suffered severe damage. If he stayed any longer, he would most likely be killed.

Orochimaru and the others also retreated without any reluctance.

They had made preparations before the war, knowing that Konoha would definitely become a battlefield, so they moved everything away early, even the villagers were evacuated as soon as possible.

The Third Raikage and his companions, who had consumed a lot of energy, had no way of pursuing and catching up, and could only watch.

After all, those people escaped using space means, so there is no way to chase them even if you want to.

"This battle is not over yet. Next we need to send a large number of ninja troops to the Land of Fire to completely eliminate the remnants of Konoha."

The Third Raikage's expression remained solemn, and he expressed his intention to conquer the Land of Fire and not give Konoha a chance to revive.

"We, the Sand Village, suffered heavy losses in the previous Ninja World War, and we are unable to send troops here with the current strength."

Luo Sha's eyes flickered, indicating that he was powerless.

He didn't want to fight to the death with Konoha like that.

The Third Raikage frowned upon hearing this, and then looked at the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki.

"We also suffered heavy losses in the previous Ninja World War. We were also ambushed by Shimura Danzo before and suffered heavy losses. We are unable to send anyone here."

Ohnoki also shook his head, not wanting to send anyone to fight with Konoha in the Land of Fire.

Firstly, they did suffer heavy losses, and secondly, it would be too disadvantageous to fight Konoha in the Land of Fire.

Although there are many ninjas in their Iwagakure Village, there are not many if they are spread across the entire Land of Fire.

At the same time, they also need manpower to step up defense, and they really can't spare any manpower.

Thirdly, the overall strength of the Hidden Cloud Village is much stronger. Now that Konoha has been openly defeated, the Hidden Cloud Village has become the strongest ninja village and must be weakened.

"Then our Lightning Nation will take over the Fire Nation." The Third Raikage showed annoyance and announced the ownership of the Fire Nation as if in a fit of anger.

"If we can capture the Thunder Country, we have no objection."

Luo Sha immediately expressed his agreement, but sneered in his heart.

Although Konoha was defeated openly this time, it still has at least half of its strength left. It will not be easy to completely expel Konoha from the Land of Fire.

"As you wish."

Ōnoki did not object and also hoped that the Hidden Cloud Village could fight Konoha alone.

The Third Raikage became even angrier, his face darkened, his hand tightly clenched around the Spear of Hell, as if he was suppressing his anger.

However, what he suppressed was not his anger, but a smile.

This is exactly the result they wanted and the result of their plan.

Since you, the Sand Village and the Iwagakure Village, don't want this piece of land in the Land of Fire, then we, the Cloud Village, will gladly accept it.

"Thor, you take the people to stay here and take charge. Ai, Fukai, follow me to the Daimyofu to apply for the capture of the Fire Country."

After finally suppressing the secret smile, the Third Raikage gritted his teeth and gave a decisive order.

Inflicting heavy damage to Danzo Shimura and Konoha is only the first step. The next step is to plot against the Daimyo Prefecture. His current exhausted body is a good opportunity to further lure them into taking action.

Without any delay, the three of them used Tamura Hao's Heaven's Sending Technique to head to the Daimyo Prefecture of the Land of Thunder.

Without taking a rest, the three of them immediately applied for an audience with the daimyo.

“Daimyo-sama, Konoha has been destroyed, but the culprit, Shimura Danzo, escaped with serious injuries, and many Konoha men still escaped. We hope that the Daimyo-sama can order the samurai corps to join us in conquering the Land of Fire and completely eradicate the remnants of Konoha.

Otherwise, once they recover, it will be difficult to eradicate them.”

After meeting the daimyo, the Third Raikage went straight to the point and stated the results of the battle and applied to conquer the Land of Fire.

"We really can't let those traitors come back to life."

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning agreed with the Third Raikage's proposal, and he was also very envious of the territory of the Land of Fire, which was the richest place on the continent.

Since the lineage of the Fire Nation Daimyo has been completely wiped out, the Fire Nation has become an ownerless land and naturally should not be missed.

However, before conquering the Land of Fire, there is still a problem that needs to be solved, and that is to completely take control of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Originally, the ninja villages could be controlled by relying on the checks and balances among the five major ninja villages, but now the Hidden Mist Village and Konoha have been destroyed one after another, especially Danzo Shimura destroyed the Daimyo's Mansion of the Land of Water and the Land of Fire, and the balance between the ninja village system and the Daimyo's Mansion has been completely broken.

Even though the Daimyo Prefecture of the Land of Lightning and the Hidden Cloud Village have always had a tacit understanding, there are some things that must be guarded against.

Thinking of this, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning said, "The Raikage has done a great job in eradicating that traitor in Konoha, and we must celebrate!"

"Someone, prepare a banquet to entertain the Raikage!"

"My Lord Daimyo, opportunities are rare now. We should seize the opportunity immediately. It won't be too late to celebrate after we have completely conquered the Fire Nation."

The Third Raikage hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke, saying that they needed to press on to win, the sooner the better.

"There is no rush for war, and it seems that you, the Raikage, have suffered heavy losses. You will be better able to lead the war if you take a short break.

Konoha has taken root in the Fire Country for many years, and its tentacles there are deeply entrenched. What follows is bound to be a protracted war, and the Raikage must be prepared.

In addition, we also need to discuss in detail the cooperation between the samurai army and the ninja in the war."

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning gave sufficient reasons, and this banquet must be held.

"Thank you, Lord Daming, for the banquet!"

After hesitating for a while, the Third Raikage finally did not refuse.

The banquet was quickly set up, and the three Raikages seemed to be truly hungry, and they ate without restraint.

But while they were eating they suddenly realized something was wrong. The wine glasses in Fukai and Yeyueai's hands suddenly fell from their hands one after another, and they felt dizzy.

"poisonous!"

Seeing his son's condition, the Third Raikage realized that the food was indeed poisonous.

Even though he had expected this, and even his sense of good and evil had already sensed the malice of the daimyo, when it really came to this, he still felt a little sad.

Still took this step!

At this moment, four figures suddenly jumped out, and a golden Guanyin statue emerged, stretching out their hands to suppress the limbs of the Third Raikage.

They were four old monks, wearing different robes because they came from four countries.

They are the abbots of the Temple of Thunder, the Temple of Earth, the Temple of Wind and the Temple of Water.

Long before learning that the Daimyo's palaces of the Land of Water and the Land of Fire had been destroyed, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning had anticipated this day and made preparations in advance. He colluded with the Daimyo of the other two countries, and finally decided to take control of his own Hidden Cloud Village first.

Because the Hidden Cloud Village is the strongest at present, as long as we control the Hidden Cloud Village, it will be much easier to assist the other two countries to control the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Sand Village.

"Lord Daimyo?"

The Third Raikage who was pinned to the ground seemed to understand something and looked at the daimyo sitting in the main seat in disbelief.

Seeing that the Third Raikage was subdued successfully, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning breathed a sigh of relief, and then spoke calmly.

"Raikage, times have changed. The ninja village system has become a threat to the country. I can only feel at ease if I have complete control over it."

"Daimyo-sama, we in the Hidden Cloud Village will never betray you, and I have never had such thoughts."

The Third Raikage tried his best to defend himself and said that he was loyal.

“I know, but just because you don’t have that thought now doesn’t mean you won’t have it in the future.

If you want to blame someone, blame Konoha. They opened up the Ninja Village Era, but then abandoned it and wanted to start the Ninja Country Era. As a member of the Ninja Village, the Hidden Cloud Village is destined to be a threat.

Either take control or destroy it."

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning was extremely ruthless. He understood the temperament of the Third Raikage, who had always been very loyal and had always been thinking about the Land of Lightning.

But the Hidden Cloud Village is too strong, and this is their sin!
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in a gorgeous feather robe walked out, holding an old talisman in his hand, which was covered with mysterious talismans and spells.

"Don't resist, or they will die."

The words of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning were even more cruel. He needed to completely control the Third Raikage in order to control the Hidden Cloud Village.

The talisman was left by an ancient Onmyoji, and in ancient times it could be used to control powerful demon shikigami. Although the Third Raikage is powerful, it seems that he is not strong enough to contend with such ancient means.

As the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning finished his words, a warrior stepped forward and put his blade on the necks of Yeyue Ai and Fukai as a threat.

"Lord Daimyo!"

The Third Raikage became even more anxious and seemed to be at a loss.

"We in the Hidden Cloud Village will never accept any threats."

At this time, Fukai, who was stepped on the ground, gathered a little strength, glared at the Daimyo angrily, and then twisted his neck to hit the sharp blade, which cut it off completely, and blood gushed out.

"cousin!"

Ye Yueai on the other side cried out in grief, then glared at Daimyo angrily and roared.

"We in the Hidden Cloud Village will never be slaves!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he twisted his neck and crashed into the sharp blade, cutting off his entire neck and spurting blood.

This scene shocked everyone, even the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning was stunned.

He knew that most people in the Hidden Cloud Village were strong-willed, but he never expected them to be so strong-willed.

"Fukai, Ai!"

The Third Raikage responded with a cry of blood and tears, and immediately used a secret method to release a powerful electric current. Then in a flash of lightning, he carried his two sons on his shoulders, grabbed their heads with both hands, and rushed out.

Although the speed of the explosion at this moment is far less than that at the peak period, it is still far beyond the limit of ordinary people.

"Hurry up and chase!"

It took a while for the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning to react and he roared with fear in his voice, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

This is a huge gamble. If they make the slightest mistake, they will follow in the footsteps of the Fire Country Daimyofu. They cannot afford to fail.

It took the four old monks a while to get rid of the paralysis of lightning and thunder, and they quickly jumped out to chase after him.

They have gambled their own future and the future of their entire lineage of monks, and they cannot afford to lose.

In this way, the Third Raikage fled in a panic in front, four monks and a group of people chased after him, and there were many people lying in ambush in front.

Because of this, many people saw it, including spies from various major forces.
