Chapter 493 Arrival at Cloud Hidden Village

October 12, Konoha 52.

The airspace of the Land of Lightning.

Taiyi spread his wings and flew at high speed toward Kumogakure. The tips of his chakra wings drew out two long vortexes due to the rapid speed.

His primary objective on this mission was to reach the Hidden Cloud Village.

And if you want to intimidate other ninja villages to the greatest extent, what could be more shocking than silently appearing over their village!

At noon that day, when the sun was high in the sky, Taiyi descended from the sky at the perfect moment, like a dark cloud, casting a shadow over the Hidden Cloud Village.

The guards of the Hidden Cloud Village below immediately noticed the anomaly above their heads.

He looked up at the sky, but the sun was so bright that he had to raise his hands to shield his eyes from most of the sunlight before he could see that a person was descending from the sky.

Enemy attack!

This was the security guard's first reaction, and it was also his duty. Subconsciously, his hand had already reached for the alarm button next to him.

With a simple press, the village's ninjas can eliminate any enemy, no matter what kind they are.

This is his confidence in his own ninja village, and also his glory.

Unfortunately, just as his finger was about to touch the button, an invisible aura suddenly descended upon him, as if every muscle in his body was locked, and even his heartbeat skipped a few beats.

Taiyi, watching from the sky, saw the gatekeeper below trying to trigger the alarm, but he wouldn't let him have his way.

He's here to intimidate, not to start a war. If this alarm goes off, things could get very serious.

Its imposing aura locked onto the two guards below, releasing and then withdrawing in an instant, leaving them frozen in place.

"Konoha, Matsushita Taichi has come to pay a visit to the Fourth Raikage. Please announce my arrival."

They speak politely, but their actions are anything but.

It wasn't until a few breaths after Taiyi finished speaking that the two guards came to their senses.

Upon seeing the document handed over by Taiyi, a security guard's lips twitched, but he still stiffly accepted the document and checked it according to procedure.

"Please wait a moment, Lord Taiyi, I will go and inform the Fourth Generation Lord."

After saying this, he gave a brief instruction to his companion, then turned and ran quickly into the village.

At this moment, the shock of Taiyi descending from the sky subsided a little.

The ninjas, civilians, and merchants entering and exiting the gate all stopped in their tracks, looking at Taiichi, who was blocking the gate with awe.

A bystander, let's call him A, exclaimed, "Who is that? It just flew down from the sky!"

The sharp-eared commoner, B: "Didn't you hear? It's Matsushita Taichi from Konoha!"

An enraged ninja, A: "Damn Konoha, this is provocation!"

Cautious Ninja B: "Shh, keep your voice down! Are you crazy? That's the 'White Reaper'!"

Envious businessman A: "What a handsome young man! He doesn't look very old!"

The obese businessman, B: "I happen to have a daughter at home; they're a match made in heaven!"

Taiyi had been calmly observing the gates of Kumogakure, trying to see how they differed from the gates of Konoha.

But gradually his face darkened. Are all the people of the Land of Thunder this unrestrained?

Trying to force a couple together when you don't even know each other is no different from pimping.

The guard who had been watching Taiyi closely was now in a heartbeat.

He could clearly see that Taiyi's face was getting worse and worse, as if Ping was about to make a move at any moment.

He dared not doubt whether Taiyi had the strength and courage; the title of "White Reaper" was earned through the lives lost.

"Um—Lord Taiyi, would you like to wait in the duty room for a moment?"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi turned his head and glanced at the people whispering around him. His eyes were full of helplessness. In the end, he nodded and followed the gatekeeper away.

He didn't want to be watched like a monkey here.

Little did they know that his sweeping motion, accompanied by its lingering aura, terrified those who had been gossiping.

"Ah~~ He saw me, will he kill me?!"

The events at the Cloud Village gates naturally didn't affect the messenger ninja. He was currently rushing towards the Raikage Building with all his might, moving at lightning speed, even using the secret technique of Lightning Release to activate his body.

Raikage's office.

The fourth generation Ai looked at the document in his hand, then at the gatekeeper who was still panting, and frowned.

The document contained little substantive content; it simply stated that Konoha was visiting Kumogakure on behalf of Konoha, which puzzled Ai greatly.

"Kira, please recount the situation at the scene, starting from when Matsushita Taichi appeared."

The gatekeeper named Kira took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, before speaking: "Yes, Lord Raikage."

However, as Kira spoke, Ai's brows furrowed more and more, and it didn't sound like he was there to have a proper conversation.

Why didn't you just land directly in my Raikage Building instead of suddenly descending from the sky to the village gate?

This is blatant provocation.

When Kira finished explaining the situation, Ai's fists were clenched and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

Just as the fourth generation Ai was about to unleash his power, Mabui quickly coughed lightly.

"uh-huh!"

The fourth-generation Ai glanced sideways at his secretary and said irritably, "What's wrong with you? Just say what you have to say!"

To everyone's surprise, Mabui didn't say anything, but simply pointed to the desk.

Following the direction Mabui pointed, the fourth generation Ai immediately saw an intelligence document.

Those were documents sent by the intelligence department a couple of days ago, saying that Konoha had mastered a popular version of Sage Mode and was now promoting it.

He immediately felt that the information was exaggerated.

The three sacred lands have existed since ancient times and have not always been the exclusive domain of Konoha.

Their Moonlit Clan also had ancestors who had signed a spiritual contract with Mount Myōboku, so they naturally had some understanding of sage techniques.

The difficulty of cultivating that thing is not something prepared for ordinary people.

To succeed in cultivation, both talent and luck are indispensable.

But now, only two days after they received this intelligence, Konoha's Matsushita Taichi has arrived in Kumogakure, which makes the Fourth Hokage A think twice.

Could it be that the intelligence is true?

The fourth generation Ai walked to the desk and picked up the intelligence report again to read it carefully.

With a different mindset, looking at it now, it's truly more and more alarming!

"You mean, Matsushita Taichi came for this reason?"

Ai waved the intelligence report in his hand, and although he spoke of a question, he already had the answer in his heart.

Mabui nodded and said confidently, "It's most likely related to this."

Ai slammed the intelligence file on the table, paced back and forth in the office twice, and muttered to himself.

"This is an opportunity—no—too risky—damn it—I can't beat them—damn it!" Five minutes later, Matsushita Taichi sat back down in his seat, looking dejected.

"Kira, go find Tsuchida and have him greet Matsushita Taichi. Don't let him think that my Kumogakure is impolite."

"Yes, Fourth Hokage!" Kira bowed and took his leave.

"Bang!"

Ai watched the door close again, then slammed her hand on the desk. The once perfectly good desk instantly cracked all over.

"Damn Konoha, they've gone too far!"

He realized that Konoha was blatantly showing off its power.

If Jinchuriki are like intercontinental ballistic missiles, then Matsushita Taichi is like a nuclear weapon, a nuclear weapon that only Konoha possesses.

He can appear silently at the entrance of your village today, and tomorrow he can wipe out your unsuspecting village.

With such a powerful weapon, what's the point of fighting?

"There's no need for the Fourth Hokage to be in such a hurry. Since Konoha has sent Matsushita Taichi, they certainly don't want to make a big fuss. Let's wait until we meet him before we talk about anything else."

Mabui looked at the ruined desk, her eyes twitching slightly, silently attributing the loss of the desk to the Fourth Raikage.

"I hope so!"

The main gate of Yunyin.

Taiyi silently watched the pedestrians coming and going at the gate from the duty room, his third cup of tea already empty.

Beside him, the gatekeeper who had invited Taiyi in was now covered in sweat.

He never imagined that being around such a master would bring such immense pressure.

He had cursed Kira a hundred times in his heart.

You bastard, why are you moving so slowly? Don't you know what kind of torment I'm going through here?

Just as he was holding the kettle, preparing to refill the other person's teacup, he noticed that Matsushita Taichi, who had been doing nothing, had made a move.

Taiichi silently calculated the number of people entering and leaving Kumogakure.

In just 20 minutes, 125 people had left Kumogakure and another 153 had entered.

This frequency is about half that of Konoha, which shows that Kumogakure is not as closed and conservative as the rumors suggest.

Just as he was about to continue analyzing more detailed data, a particularly familiar chakra aura appeared in his perception.

Taiyi turned his head to look in the direction from which the aura came, and a familiar figure came into his view.

The earthen platform, Yunyin actually sent him to greet me, and it seems that I am quite familiar with him.

As for the others, it can only be said that they have a grudge.

"Haha, Matsushita Taichi, it's been two years, and you're even more imposing than before!"

Tutai didn't stand on ceremony and burst into laughter, showing no sign of being a stranger. He opened his arms wide, wanting to give Taiyi a hug.

This was a very enthusiastic display; the center gate was wide open, completely unprepared.

Taiyi smiled as well. Although the two villages didn't have a good relationship, he still had the friendship he had formed with Tutai on the battlefield of the demons.

Moreover, he couldn't show weakness on Yunyin's territory.

With his arms outstretched, Taiyi walked towards the earthen platform.

"Bang"

Two muscular chests collided violently.

"Slap slap slap"

A series of crisp slaps rang out from behind the two men.

Passersby couldn't help but look over, their faces twitching as they secretly thought:

Doesn't this really hurt?

After a warm hug, Taiichi and Tsuchida finally separated. They looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Long time no see, your prowess is still as strong as ever."

Tutai pulled Taiyi along without any ceremony, and with a wave of his hand, led Taiyi into the village.

"How come you're being sent on such a mission? Could it be some big deal this time?"

As Tu Tai walked along, he kept asking questions in a low voice, creating an impression of friendship between the two villages for those around him.

We should know that there might be spies from other ninja villages hiding around here. Sending out some false information now is a cost-effective way to achieve our goals.

Taiichi was also all smiles, and as he walked side by side with Tsuchida, he kept moving his lips slightly.

"It really is something big, something that concerns the safety of the ninja world. What do you think, should I come?"

Tu Tai's pupils contracted slightly as he immediately thought of the Wraith Crisis two years ago. Could it be a threat of the same level?

He stopped talking and quickened his pace, leading Taiyi toward the Raikage Building.

Raikage's office.

There's no one else here now, except for Taiichi; the rest are all Raikage's confidants.

The fourth-generation Ai sat in his seat with a sour face, and the desk in front of him looked brand new.

Taiyi looked around and saw that there wasn't a single stool to sit on. Without any hesitation, he stomped his foot, and a stone chair made of nine tails rose into the air.

This precise chakra control and effortless skill made everyone in the Cloud Village gasp.

Truly, the devil is in the little things.

The fourth-generation Ai's eyebrows twitched slightly as she watched Taiyi sit down in the chair with an air of nonchalance, and a surge of anger rose within her.

"Taichi Matsushita, don't get too arrogant."

"Oh dear, Fourth Raikage, we've known each other for so long, and not only did you not offer me a seat when I came here, you're now accusing me of being arrogant. How am I being arrogant?"

Taiichi wasn't afraid at all. Just now, they had to consider the reputation of both villages and maintain the dignity of a great ninja village.

Fan.

Now that we're holding closed-door meetings inside, it's time to let real ability speak for itself. Face is like toilet paper; when it's time to throw it away, you have to throw it away cleanly.

The fourth-generation Ai clenched his fists, wishing he could punch him. If necessary, he would gather his men and, even at great cost, kill this guy.

But—we really can't beat them, and even if we could—we still couldn't catch them.

Flying Thunder God Technique, what an annoying ninjutsu.

Seeing that the situation was getting tense, Mabui immediately stepped in to smooth things over.

"Lord Taiyi has come to our Cloud Village with a mission, so why don't we get to the point?"

Tai glanced at Mabui, then at the Raikage who had closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, chuckled, and decided not to waste any more time.

"We in Konoha have received reliable intelligence that the Akatsuki organization has ended its covert operations and is active in the ninja world again, and this time, it seems they are about to launch a major operation!"

"Is your intelligence accurate?"

The fourth generation Ai opened his eyes and looked at Taiichi with a serious expression.

Konoha used to say that the Akatsuki was the enemy of the ninja world, but nobody took it seriously back then.

But ever since they caused the Wraith Crisis, nobody has treated them like insignificant shrimps anymore.

"How could I lie about that? We already have intelligence ninjas who have discovered their whereabouts. This is the first time in two years, but unfortunately we still lost track of them."

Without blushing or skipping a beat, Tai solemnly told the lie.

Everyone present had to be on high alert, because the Akatsuki organization was too destructive, and no one could withstand a single blow from them.
