Saiyans in the Naruto world

"Now I command you to be on high alert at all times and ready for battle."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

The command center was filled with resolute responses.

Chapter 33 Mission Successful

After a period of rest, Carrot and his group resumed their operations. This time, their objective was to destroy the Cloud Ninja's vital transportation route, the Thunder Moon Bridge.

At this moment, Carrot and his companions lay prone on the cliff face of the Thunder Moon Bridge, waiting for the right moment to destroy it in one fell swoop.

"The first six Cloud Ninja squads are stationed at both ends of the bridge, heavily guarded. One of the Jonin has a lot of chakra and is very aggressive. Just looking at him puts a lot of pressure on me."

Hyuga Kouji used his Byakugan to explain the information about the Thunder Moon Bridge, and he particularly mentioned the Jonin, which piqued Carrot's interest.

"It turned out to be him."

Karot never expected to encounter the future Fourth Raikage in this place.

"Ok?"

Ai suddenly frowned and looked in the direction where Carrot was. This action caught the attention of the Cloud Ninja. They asked cautiously.

"Lord Ai, what happened?"

"We're being watched."

"Could it be them? A few days ago, we received intelligence from the front that a Konoha squad had crossed the defense line and was harassing our rear. Their target is this Thunder Moon Bridge."

Those who can become Jonin are no ordinary people; they were able to analyze the purpose of Carrot and his group based solely on the known information.

"Hmph, if they dare to come, we'll make sure they don't leave alive."

Ai said arrogantly. He certainly had the right to be arrogant. He had earned the title of "Ai" at a young age and was the undisputed successor to the position of the Fourth Raikage.

"Give the order to keep my men alert. I'm going to capture this Konoha squad."

"Yes, Lord Ai."

At this moment, Hinata, standing on the cliff, said with a frightened expression.

"Such keen perception! We were almost discovered. His strength is no less than Lord Orochimaru's. Our mission is in danger."

"what?"

The three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio were taken aback, not expecting the Cloud Ninja to be so open to this place, sending such a powerful force to guard it. They all turned their gazes to Karot.

“You’re wrong, Kouji. He already knows we’re here.”

Carrot spoke up, saying that he sensed the Cloud Ninja's defense had shifted from tight inside to loose outside, setting a trap to eliminate Carrot and his companions.

"This is how to do?"

Hyuga Koji asked in shock. He hadn't discovered this information, yet Carrot did. Just how strong was Carrot's perception? Hyuga Koji couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He had thought that the only thing he could do to surpass Carrot was through perception, but it turned out that the other's perception was far superior to his own.

“Now that we’re here, we can’t leave empty-handed. Tonight, you guys will install a lot of explosive tags on the cliff to attract attention and find an opportunity to blow up the bridge. As for which guy to take care of, leave that to me.”

Carrot knew that A's strength had reached the Kage level, and this was just a delay, not a life-or-death battle, so it was not a problem at all.

"But this time the opponent is no ordinary one. You need to think carefully, Carrot!"

The group expressed their concern, saying that they did not know Carrot's strength and therefore wanted to persuade him to give up his dangerous actions.

"Don't worry! Don't you know me? I won't do anything I'm not sure I can handle."

Seeing Carrot speak with such certainty, they finally felt relieved. Although they only wanted to spend a few days together, they were familiar with Carrot's style of doing things. He was steady and never fought a battle he was not sure of winning.

Soon, the sky gradually darkened, and the group began to prepare for their operation.

In the pitch-black night, Nara Jubei used his family's secret technique to place all the explosive tags.

The Yamanaka clan used ninjutsu to subdue a Cloud Ninja, who, with the help of Hyuga Kouji, continued to install explosive tags.

Akimichi Tezuka was responsible for guarding the retreat route.

After about an hour of work, all the explosive tags were in place. Once they were all detonated, the falling boulders from the cliff would block the Cloud Ninja's pursuit, while the explosive tags that Hyuga was in charge of would detonate in the middle and destroy the bridge.

At this moment, Aiton felt a sudden pang of panic. This was the time when people were most relaxed and careless. Although he had arranged for Cloud Ninjas to be carefully stationed there, the inexplicable malice made Aiton's face turn grim. A ninja's sixth sense is cultivated through countless trials and tribulations; it doesn't arise without reason.

"Lord Ai, what happened?"

Seeing Ai's grim expression, his subordinate asked a question.

"I always feel like something is going to happen, and I feel uneasy."

Ai clutched his heart and told his subordinates about his unease.

"No, immediately have all the ninjas increase patrols around the bridge. The enemy may have already made their move. Waiting for them to come to us is no longer an option."

"Yes, Lord Ai, I will convey your orders immediately."

Before the Cloud Ninja could even step out of their tents, a series of explosions rang out, and the entire bridge shook violently. A ran out of his tent and saw the chaotic camp, flames soaring into the sky, and countless boulders raining down from above, smashing into the camp. Ninjas who couldn't dodge in time were crushed into mincemeat. Just as a boulder was about to hit A, suddenly his entire body crackled with lightning—this was Lightning Release: Lightning Armor, a technique only the Raikage could master. With a single punch, the boulder above shattered. Seeing A appear, the remaining ninjas seemed to have found their leader and gradually moved towards him.

"Everyone, get off the bridge immediately."

Ai already knew that the bridge could not be saved and the only option was to evacuate.

Finally, the bridge could not withstand the force of the explosion and collapsed under the weight.

Having witnessed the bridge's destruction, Ai's hatred for Konoha's ninjutsu reached its peak. He felt he couldn't vent his anger without killing the ninja.

Ai ran swiftly along the cliff, searching for traces of the Konoha ninja. He had intended to lure them out, but instead, he was met with a fierce counterattack.

Finally, they reached the top of the cliff and discovered the Konoha ninjas who were rapidly fleeing the group.

"Konoha ninjas, you can't escape now."

Ai shouted, and his body crackled with lightning as he sped off towards Carrot and the others.

"Oh no, we've been exposed."

Hearing Ai's shout, the group knew their whereabouts had been exposed and could only speed up their escape. Ai was putting too much pressure on them, and they dared not look back, only focusing on fleeing.

As Ai drew closer, the pressure on the group increased.

"As expected, I underestimated the heroes of the world. None of you can escape so easily."

"Carrot spoke up. The purpose of blowing up the cliff was originally to temporarily slow Ai's pursuit. But it didn't work; Ai still caught up."

"Use Plan B. You guys go first."

Having said that, Carrot stopped. The moment he turned around, Ai rushed in front of Carrot, his fist, crackling with lightning, slamming into Carrot's chest. Carrot clasped his hands together. With a loud bang, Carrot was sent flying, carving a fissure in the ground and creating a huge crater within a ten-meter radius around him.

Chapter 34 Carrot VS Ai

As the smoke cleared, Carrot remained with his hands clasped together.

"It's a bit impolite to start a fight as soon as you meet someone, isn't it?"

Carrot said slowly, "As expected, a great reputation is well-deserved. Ai's strength has reached the Kage level."

A ten-year-old Konoha ninja blocked his attack, shocking A! When did any random ninja become a match for me?

"Kid, state your name. I don't kill nameless nobodies."

Ai said arrogantly, as if Carrot had no chance of escaping.

"Kakato Hatake, remember this name."

"I understand. I will bury you with my own hands."

After saying that, Ai flashed forward and charged towards Carrot with the force of thunder. Carrot did not retreat but advanced instead, meeting Ai's attack head-on. The energy generated by the collision of their fists scattered and the trees collapsed. The ground sank around the two of them.

Fists flew back and forth, each blow deafening, the collision of flesh exhilarating.

Ai threw a low hook at Carrot's head, but Carrot reacted instantly, bracing himself with his hands on the ground and extending his legs to a 45-degree angle to kick Ai in the chest. Ai dodged, but Carrot pressed his advantage, raining down punches on Ai like there was no tomorrow. Ai defended fiercely, his defense impenetrable. He met all of Carrot's attacks head-on.

"Kid, you had your fun just now, now it's my turn."

More intense lightning crackled around Ai's body, as if he were enveloped in lightning, making him faster and stronger. In the blink of an eye, the roles of offense and defense were reversed.

The punch was incredibly fast. This time, Carrot could see it but couldn't defend against it. The punch landed squarely on Carrot's abdomen, sending him flying backward. He broke three of his teeth before finally coming to a stop.

Carrot clutched his stomach, coughed a few times, and stood up. Truly high offense and high defense. No Kage-level fighter is simple.

"System removes the weight from your body."

"Good host."

A cold, icy voice echoed in Carrot's mind.

Carrot felt a sudden lightness throughout his body, bent over, clenched his fists, and shouted.

"Ahhhhh."

Carrot's aura grew stronger and stronger, causing the pebbles on the ground to bounce and jump. It only stopped when Carrot's entire body emitted a yellow light.

Carrot stared straight at Ai, extended his right hand, and beckoned Ai to attack.

Ai had never been provoked like this before, and instantly launched a frenzied attack on Carrot. From the front, right, left, back, and above, every strike was aimed at Carrot's vitals, but unsurprisingly, Carrot managed to dodge each one.

"It's my turn."

Ai didn't hear Carrot's voice, but just by looking at his lips, she knew it wasn't anything good.
