Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 436 A Blow from the Moon

呲! !

The folded wings suddenly flapped outwards, stretching to their limit.

Tens of thousands of pale blue feathers instantly detached from the wings, transforming into a storm that blotted out the entire battlefield sky, pouring down towards the area where the allied ninjas were gathered!

The arrows came too fast and too densely; there was absolutely no time to react.

A Konoha ninja felt a cool sensation on his side as a pale blue light swept past his face, cutting off a few strands of his hair and causing them to fall. He stared in shock.

An arrow pierced the forehead of a Sand Village ninja behind him. The ninja's body stiffened, and the look of astonishment on his face froze. Then, the expression quickly twisted, revealing the true form of a White Zetsu, and he collapsed to the ground.

Another arrow pierced through the gap between several Kirigakure ninjas, bypassed a terrified Iwagakure ninja who raised his shield, and shot through a Kirigakure ninja who appeared to be seriously injured and lying on the ground behind him.

The screams of the "Hidden Mist Ninja" abruptly ceased, and his body quickly transformed into a White Zetsu corpse.

"what!"

"Damn it! He's a White Zetsu?"

The screams of the White Zetsu and the gasps of the ninjas erupted instantly throughout the Allied Forces!

Wherever the arrows passed, the White Zetsu hidden among them were like targets being precisely shot, their vital points pierced, revealing their pale true forms!

Even when arrows grazed their skin, the real Allied Ninjas were at most cut in the hair or torn in the hem of their clothes; not a single one of them was accidentally injured.

"It's the Commander-in-Chief! It's Lord Yun Chuan!"

"We are saved, we are saved!"

"Those monsters have been eliminated!"

The allied ninjas went from initial terror to ecstatic relief at surviving a catastrophe, their will to live reignited.

Hinata Aoi gazed at the figure in the air, a relieved smile appearing on her tense face, but she quickly became tense again.

Judging from the Akatsuki's actions, they deliberately lured Yun Chuan here and must have prepared a trap for him!

"What are you all standing there for?" Scorpion's icy voice suddenly rang out. "Attack! If we let him continue killing with such impunity, we're all doomed!"

Almost as soon as Sasori finished speaking, the wind-style clone, lightning-style clone, and water-style clone behind Kakuzu transformed into three afterimages and rushed off in three different directions.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
Kakuzu's main body and three clones landed in the four cardinal directions (east, west, south, and north) centered on Hyuga Kumokawa, forming a square that surrounded Hyuga Kumokawa.

At the same time, he raised his hands and formed the same hand seal, releasing all the chakra in his body without holding back!

"Ninja Art!" A roar erupted from all four corners simultaneously, "Four Red Sun Formation!"

hum!
Four crimson, transparent beams of light shot up from the ground and into the sky.

The light barrier between the four beams instantly closed, forming a huge, closed crimson barrier that completely sealed Hyuga Kumokawa inside!

"The Four Red Sun Formation?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed, and he blurted out, "How could you possibly..."

His words came to an abrupt halt as he suddenly remembered that name.

Orochimaru!
Yes, if the Akatsuki cooperated with Orochimaru, then it wouldn't be surprising if the Akatsuki obtained the Four Red Yang Formation...

So, is it that my past leniency has once again led to this terrible consequence?

As the thought crossed his mind, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression stiffened.

Inside the barrier, the light was hazy and the temperature was scorching.

Hinata Kumokawa's gaze swept over the surrounding crimson light barrier, then looked through the barrier at Kakuzu and the other three outside.

"This is the 'gift' you prepared for me?"

Feeling the continuous influx of spiritual energy into the Hogyoku, he tilted his head slightly and smiled, "Seems like it's still not enough?"

Outside the barrier, Kakuzu said calmly, "We know you are very strong, and this barrier cannot trap you."

"But, even for just a moment..."

Before the words were even finished, an indescribable sense of dread suddenly gripped everyone!

As if locked on from beyond the heavens, Hinata Kumokawa narrowed his eyes slightly, tilted his head back, and looked up at the full moon in the night sky.

“That’s enough,” Kakuzu’s voice came.

Tsk! !
A beam of light suddenly tore through the clouds and the night sky, like a divine punishment, and crashed down towards the location of Hyuga Unkawa within the Four Red Sun Formation!
This was an attack from the moon, outside the ninja world.

This was a long-planned attack that caught everyone off guard.

It was an attack by Akatsuki no Nanto Otsutsuki Toneri, who unleashed his giant Tenseigan with all his might.

A beam of light descended from the night sky, completely engulfing the figure within the barrier!
boom! !

Only then did the deafening explosion catch up with the speed of light and explode with a deafening roar!
But soon, the whole world seemed to fall into a deathly silence.

It wasn't truly quiet; it was because they had lost their hearing and could only perceive the earth trembling violently.

The violent impact spread wildly within the barrier, uprooting and melting the already scorched earth, and the blinding light reached its extreme at this moment.

It not only illuminated most of the darkness as if day had suddenly arrived, but also lit up every face contorted with fear.

"Yunkawa!" The Fourth Raikage, Kakashi, Hyuga Aoi, and the others roared in fear.

--------

At this moment, the capital of the Land of Fire also suffered a long-planned attack.

Countless birds perched on the eaves and treetops took flight in alarm, their dark mass blending into the crimson night sky.

Thick plumes of black smoke rose up, instantly engulfing large areas of the city, while towering flames dyed half the night sky blood red, as if blood had been splashed into ink.

"Cough! Cough!"

Nara Shikaku gradually regained consciousness, and the thick, pungent black smoke filled his mouth and nose, making him cough uncontrollably.

Feeling the pain in his lungs, he knew that his respiratory tract and abdomen were severely burned.

My senses gradually returned, followed by a stinging and burning sensation that spread throughout my body.

Nara Shikaku's skin was charred and swollen, and he could hear the sizzling sound of roasting meat and the indescribable aroma of meat.

The pain from the severe burns made his face contort in agony, making his already mangled face even more grotesque and horrifying.

"The Nara clan," Onoki's equally hoarse voice rang out, "Do you think they can still manage?"

“Cough…I…I’m not going to die…” Nara Shikaku managed to utter a few words, struggling to lift his eyelids, which felt like they were filled with lead, his eyes bloodshot and crimson.

As far as the eye could see, everything was distorted and blurred by the scorching heat. The flickering flames were the only source of light, illuminating large areas of charred earth and broken, smoking wreckage.

The Hokage Building, which served as the command center for the Allied Forces, has almost completely disappeared, leaving only a steel structure, with burning wood, equipment wreckage, and charred corpses scattered everywhere.

"what……"

"it hurts……"

“My face…” Painful cries and suppressed groans echoed throughout the ruins.

Almost all the staff officers, communications personnel, and guarding ninjas who were unable to evacuate the command center in time suffered severe burns.

But this is the best result.

Because in front of the ruins, the three-tailed Isobu, covered in a thick shell, was slowly dissipating and shrinking.

Clearly, at the final moment of the attack, it was the three-tailed fox's massive body and hard shell that blocked most of the direct impact and damage.

The terrifying heat cannot be completely isolated.

"Huh...huh..."

The Three-Tailed Beast completely dissipated, and Kisame Hoshigaki knelt on one knee, panting. Large patches of his skin were carbonized and cracked, peeling off sparsely to reveal the bright red, writhing muscles beneath.

The man beside him reached out to help him up, but Kisame shook his head and picked up Samehada, whose tongue was sticking out.

Normally, Kisame would "feed" Samehada his tailed beast chakra, but at this moment, chakra surged from Samehada and flowed back into Kisame's body.

Nourished by this chakra, Kisame's terrible burns began to stop bleeding, scab over, and grow granulation tissue at a visible speed.

Clearly, at the moment the attack occurred, the four Jinchuriki who were originally protected in the underground safe house—Kisame Hoshigaki, Yugito Nii, Han, and Killer Bee—were also affected.

They reacted immediately.

Kisame did not hesitate to enter full tailed beast form, and with the help of the tailed beast's enormous size and Isobu's carapace, he managed to withstand the most fatal blow.

The First Division's direct subordinate units, originally responsible for protecting them, were now scattered around the ruins, with Maruboshi Kosuke, Terumi Mei, and others desperately using Water Release ninjutsu to extinguish the fire.

Another group, including Genma Shiranui, Raido Namiashi, Aoba Yamashiro, and Iruka Umino, carried and rescued the critically injured ninjas amidst the ruins and thick smoke.

"Quick! There's still a breath here!"

"Medical team! This area needs to be stopped for bleeding!"

"Water! More water!"

From the moment Hyuga Kumokawa left the command center using the Heavenly Delivery Technique, to the moment the barrier was instantly broken, and then to this long-planned attack, there was almost no interval between them!

It all happened so fast.

This was clearly a premeditated operation, orchestrated from both inside and outside!

Whether it's instantly breaking through the capital's defensive barrier or having Kakuzu's fire-style clones silently infiltrate the vicinity of the capital to launch a surprise attack.

These are things that the Akatsuki organization could not have accomplished silently and without fanfare on its own.

There must have been a mole within the Allied Shinobi Forces, especially at the highest levels, to be able to seize the opportunity so precisely and bypass so many precautions.

"Mr. Shikaku! How are you?" Iruka Umino, his face covered in dust, helped the almost immobile Shikaku Nara up from under a pile of rubble.

Nara Shikaku leaned against Iruka, his eyes sweeping over the ruins of the ravaged command post, then looking up at the rampaging sky ninjas in the night sky.

"Where is Luo Sha?" A name was squeezed out from his clenched teeth. "There's a traitor among us, and it must be him..."

boom!
Before he finished speaking, another wave of blazing fire fell from the sky, aimed directly at the crowd below.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

Mei Terumi reacted quickly, forming hand seals and creating a thick wall of water in front of her.

laugh! !

The clash of water and fire created a burst of scorching white steam that enveloped a large area.

"Scatter!" Onoki roared, breaking through the steam and hovering in mid-air outside the Hokage Building. The others immediately followed suit, leaving the area.

Once above the relatively open streets, the scene before us became even more shocking.

Above the capital, dozens of flying ninja vehicles of various shapes and sizes circled in the fire-lit night sky.

They would occasionally drop explosive bombs or use ninjutsu to strike supply warehouses and gathering points in the capital, causing explosions and flames, with constant roars and the sound of buildings collapsing.

Further away, in the direction of the Eighth Division's medical support unit, the tremors became even more intense, and one could vaguely see ice crystals shattering and gales raging.

Clearly, the Eighth Division has been hit hard. Judging from the variety of bloodline limits, the one fighting Tsunade is Hiruko, who possesses multiple bloodline limits.

Directly in front of them, in the night sky, a massive flying ninja machine, operated by multiple people, hovered silently.

On its broad back stood Kakuzu's fire-style clone, its face etched with an angry and distorted crimson mask, and it held a red feather fan in its hand.

What caught the attention of Nara Shikaku, Onoki, and the others even more was another figure standing behind the Fire Release clone.

"Rasa, it really is you!" Nara Shikaku shouted angrily, enduring his pain.

"Hehehe, Lu Jiu, you're still as clever as ever, it's just a pity..."

Luo Sha was not alarmed, but let out a hoarse chuckle.

Then, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the skin, muscles, and bones on the left side of "Luo Sha's" face began to writhe and deform.

Short red hair turned into long black hair, skin tone changed, facial features were reshaped...

In just two or three breaths, that half-face suddenly transformed into another face that everyone was extremely familiar with, yet which should never have appeared here.

A pale face, golden snake eyes.

"Unfortunately, his cleverness backfired." A cold, amused smile played on his lips.

"Orochimaru?" Nara Shikaku exclaimed in shock, "How could it be you?"

How could this be? His appearance, physique, chakra aura, and even his daily words and actions were exactly the same as Rasa they had encountered before!
More importantly, they had personally witnessed "Rasa" using Magnet Release to manipulate gold dust in previous operations.

Even the White Zetsu, no matter how strong their mimicry is, can only imitate appearance and chakra. They have no chance of mastering the corresponding ninjutsu, let alone imitating bloodline limits!
What's wrong with Orochimaru?

"Why waste words with him? Take down these two guys, and everything will be clear!"

The two impatient Yugitos could no longer contain their anger. They quickly formed hand seals, and azure flames gathered in their bulging mouths.

Fire Release: Rat Tail Ball!

She opened her mouth and spat out several burning, dark blue flames that shot towards Orochimaru and his fire-style clone in the air!
"give it to you."

Faced with the attack, Orochimaru simply smiled nonchalantly, then lightly leaped down from the aircraft.

Kakuzu's fire-style clone snorted coldly and swung his red feather fan forward sharply.

The towering crimson sea of ​​fire, far exceeding the scale of a regular fire jutsu, instantly collided with the blue flames shot by the two Yukito in mid-air!

boom!
Blue and red flames intertwined and collided, bursting into a dangerous and dazzling firestorm in the air, the scorching heat waves causing a stinging sensation on the skin.

Orochimaru landed lightly, and almost the instant his toes touched the ground, two figures appeared on his left and right sides!

"Boiling Escape·Unparalleled Strange Power!"

"Lightning Release: Thunder Plow Hot Blade!"
