In Konoha, your attributes double every day!

The main force of the Cloud Ninja.

After Killer Bee and A escaped back to the main force, they immediately found the Third Raikage.

"Father!"

"Lord Raikage!"

Upon seeing the Third Raikage, Killer Bee and his companion looked somewhat dejected.

"It seems you've met a formidable opponent."

The Third Raikage's voice was even more rugged, and his gaze fell on his son's left hand.

The broken bone was clearly visible and was already swollen.

"The one who could hurt you was Namikaze from Konoha?"

“No.” Ai shook her head.

"That's the Third Hokage?"

"No, it's a brat!" Ai's tone was a little aggrieved.

"Kid?"

A hint of doubt flashed in the Third Raikage's eyes.

Is there such a genius in Konoha Village?

The Third Raikage could tell from the injury on his son's hand alone that it had been broken by a tremendous force.

How could a little brat have such power?

"He's a terrifying brat with incredible physical skills, and he's about twelve or thirteen years old," Killer Bee described.

"He formed an infiltration team with Kakashi Hatake, and he was the one who blew up the supply depot!" Ai added.

"Tell me about the battle," the Third Raikage gestured.

Next, Killer Bee and the other man recounted the details of the battle.

"This little devil..."

Upon hearing this, the Third Raikage frowned.

"You were right to leave the battlefield."

"That brat has very likely mastered the Eight Gates!"

Hearing their father say this, Killer Bee and Ai exchanged a glance.

"Father, is the Eight Gates the name of that forbidden taijutsu in Konoha?" Ai asked.

“That’s right! It’s a terrifying forbidden taijutsu that even I have to avoid.” The Third Raikage said solemnly.

He continued, "Once the Eight Gates are used, the user's strength will increase several dozen times in a short period of time!"

"This is a forbidden technique that trades lives for lives!"

At this point, his tone became even more forceful.

"Especially since that brat's physical skills are already enough to suppress you, once he uses the Eight Gates, you will surely die."

Upon hearing these words, Killer Bee and Ai were filled with lingering fear.

Fortunately, they ran fast.

“No wonder that brat made us fight at our peak!” Killer Bee realized something.

So, the other party thinks I'm too weak? And that using forbidden techniques is too wasteful?

"You were right not to use the Eight-Tails' power! Because with that brat's taijutsu, the amplified power after opening the Eight Gates would probably be enough to kill the Eight-Tails!"

Can you kill the Eight-Tails?

Kirabi is unbelievable.

Ai also found it terrifying.

But that kid is near the supply depot. So, should the main force proceed or not?

The Third Raikage was also considering this issue.

"That kid's taijutsu is probably second only to mine. Sending ninjas to capture him wouldn't make much sense."

"What about the main force?" Kirabi asked.

"Stand by." The Third Raikage had an idea.

"We should leave such a bomb to other ninja villages to destroy!"

With his plan already formed in mind, the Third Raikage smiled.

“Send an envoy to the Sand Village front line, in the name of the alliance, to reassure the Sand Village to launch an attack.”

"At the same time, send another envoy to the border of Iwagakure. It's time for Iwagakure to make their move."

To be honest, the Third Raikage really wanted to see what the Iwa ninja's expression would be if that brat killed the Third Tsuchikage.

Chapter 49 Cold Light: The Cloud Ninja's tactics are truly damn deep!

evening.

唳~~

A cry of an eagle rang out from high above.

Han Guang looked up and vaguely saw the Ninja Eagle high in the sky.

"It should be the ninja hawk of the Cloud Ninja."

Kakashi observed for a while and estimated the direction of the Ninja Hawk's flight.

"It might be a message being passed on to the advance troops."

"Remove the possibility!" Han Guang withdrew his gaze, extremely certain.

He knew without a doubt that this must be the main force of the Cloud Ninja relaying a message to the vanguard.

"It seems that the main force of the Cloud Ninja will arrive tonight or tomorrow."

Han Guang made a deduction.

He had no idea that his deduction was wrong, terribly wrong.

The ninja hawk soared through the sky, began to circle the border river, and finally landed in the fortifications built by the Cloud Ninja.

"The Raikage's orders have finally arrived."

Troy breathed a sigh of relief and took the message down.

As the commander-in-chief of the vanguard of the Cloud Ninja, Troy has been under a lot of pressure these past two days.

Putting aside the bombing of the supply depot, what frustrated him even more was that the Namikaze Clan on the other side of the river would harass them from time to time, slowly whittling down and killing hundreds of Cloud Ninja.

This was despite the fact that their side held a significant geographical advantage in the construction of the Cloud Ninja's fortifications.

"Fortunately, the main force should arrive soon."

Feeling relieved, he opened the scroll.

But when Troy saw the above content, he was dumbfounded.

"This...this means we have to retreat?"

After reading it carefully again, Troy suspected that it might be a fake order.

The unique Cloud Hidden Mark on the scroll is unmistakable, as is the Raikage's handwriting.

"To retreat back to the main force under cover of darkness, and then bypass the supply depot?"

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Troy still couldn't figure out why they had to bypass the supply depot.

"Could it be that the Konoha team that destroyed the supply depot was very strong?"

Even if he's strong, can he be stronger than the Raikage?

However, he had to obey the Third Raikage's orders, and everything would be clear once he returned to the main force.

"Everyone, assemble!"

A moment later, two hundred Cloud Ninja gathered together.

"Lord Raikage has ordered us to withdraw from here tonight, bypass the supply depot, and return to the main force."

Troy's words caused an uproar among his men.

"Captain Troy, Namikaze killed so many of our comrades, are we just going to retreat like this?"

"Yes, then our comrades died in vain."

"Otherwise, we can take advantage of the night to attack the hillside across the river and kill all those Konoha genin!"

Hearing the radical remarks of his subordinates, Troy waved his hand, signaling for silence.

"We could indeed launch a surprise attack on the hillside, but have you considered the consequences?"
