XX-level Hokage

All the other ninjas fought together against the Heavenly Path. The Hell Path watched from the sidelines.

Just as Yugito transformed into his tailed beast form and was about to join the battle, he was restrained by Konan, who appeared out of nowhere. Because of the immense power of Pain's Six Paths, everyone was barely holding on.

Just then, Darui joined the battle, quickly using Storm to destroy the Asura Path, and then led Samui and Atsui to fight against the other six paths. At that moment, the Hell Path suddenly appeared, summoning Yama to revive the Asura Path, and missiles struck again.

That person has the ability to resurrect his accomplices; he must be eliminated. You deal with him, and this missile-launching guy is my responsibility, along with Atsui. "Samui"

He then led Atsui to confront the Asura Path once again.

After listening, Darui nodded and then rushed towards the Hell Path.

Using Lightning Instantaneous Body Technique, Darui quickly formed hand seals before the Hell Path. "Lightning Release: Black Spotted Blade"

Just as the leopard-shaped black lightning was about to strike the Hell Path, the Demon Path suddenly appeared, stretched out its hands, and an invisible barrier appeared, absorbing the entire black lightning.

Darui turned his head and saw that Karui and Omoi were already lying on the ground.

"Watch out!" Karui shouted from the ground. "Shinra Tensei!" a cold voice rang out.

Then Darui felt an invisible force suddenly strike him, sending him flying. Guan Dao appeared.

Those ninjas who defied the will of Heaven were now all lying on the ground. "Storm Release: Lightning Slash"

The flying Darui quickly got up and fought back.

"Shadow Thunder Thrust" "My Flow: Lixia Training"

Karui and Omoi also launched an attack together.

Three distinct attacks simultaneously hurtled towards the Heavenly Dao at an extremely high speed.

In response, Heaven simply opened its arms. "Shinra Tensei" (Divine Raid).

The three were instantly sent flying again.

"What kind of attack is that?" Karui roared as he got up from the ground. "It felt like it bounced off." Omoi chimed in.

“Go around him, this guy can’t be attacked. Take out his pass first. Remember, be quick. I’ll stall him for time,” Dai said, frowning.

Omoi and Karui exchanged a glance and began rushing towards the human path.

At that moment, the Heavenly Dao reached out its hand once more. "Fang Xiangtian Yin"

A powerful gravitational force swept in, pulling Darui, along with the departing Omoi and Karui, all of them towards the Heavenly Dao.

Then he pushed his hand. "Shinra Tensei" (Divine Raid).

The three were sent flying again.

In the midst of the exchange, all three had coughed up blood and lost their ability to fight.

At the same time, Motoi's three owls were also shot down by the Animal Path, and Motoi fell straight to the ground.

Just then, a cloud of smoke appeared, and the giant summoned beast summoned by the Animal Path turned into smoke. Immediately afterward, the Animal Path flew straight towards them. The Hell Path quickly moved forward and caught the flying Animal Path.

Just as Hell Path caught it, a surge of lightning fist came crashing down.

The demonic path immediately rushed over, opening a barrier to absorb the thunder fist. "So that's how it is, sharing vision?"

A cold voice came from the smoke, and then the Fourth Raikage, A, stepped out. "The Fourth Raikage? Tell me where the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is," Kandou said indifferently. "The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki? Hmph!"

Ai snorted, and his lightning chakra concentrated throughout his body, covering him with chakra and lightning.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode activated! "Lightning Slaughter Level"

Gathering Lightning Release chakra in his hands, A attacked Deva Path. "Shinra Tensei" (Almighty Push)

Heavenly Dao swiftly raised its hand.

But just as Shinra Tensei was about to strike A, the "Body Instant Technique" appeared.

A's Lightning Release chakra exploded, transforming him into a streak of blue lightning that vanished instantly, reappearing before the Hell Path. "Lightning Release: Lightning Plow Blade!"

Ai used his entire body to charge into the Hell Path at breakneck speed, striking with his powerful wrist. "Not good."

By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late.

Hell Path, destroyed. "Who exactly are you?"

Ai, holding the body of the Hell Path, asked in a cold voice.

The Heavenly Dao looked at Ai, gradually drifting towards the sky, and then spoke: "Great powers create wars, small nations linger in misery, those in power profit, and ordinary people die. War makes both sides live with death, injury, and pain. Feel the pain, experience the pain, accept the pain, understand the pain! Those who do not understand pain are..."

They won't understand what true peace is.

Ai looked puzzled as she listened to Tiandao's words.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dao had arrived above the entire Cloud Village, shrouded in mist and clouds.

He opened his hands. "Shinra Tensei!" *Boom!*

"Boom!"

Chapter 137: The Great Battle of the Cloud Ninja (Part 7)

An incredibly powerful repulsive force came from the sky, like a natural disaster. "Run!"

Sensing the immense energy within, A instantly activated his strongest Lightning Release Armor, then shouted to those around him, "Darui reacted the fastest! He immediately activated Storm Release!" and then burrowed underground.

Karui and Omoi tried to join forces to resist, but found that their chakra was almost exhausted. Just as they were about to rely on their bodies to withstand the attack, a huge tentacle wrapped around them.

Then another tentacle stretched out and wrapped around Samui and Atsui, but it was too late. The huge impact carried steel and rubble all at once. Samui used his last bit of strength to push Atsui into the tentacle and then faced the turbulent current head-on.

Just as Samui was resigned to her fate and awaited death, a hand suddenly grabbed her and pulled her into a soft embrace. "What a coincidence."

Samui was about to look up when she saw only a pair of eerie blue eyes. Then, with a loud "bang," dust flew everywhere, and she fainted.

After everything calmed down, A crawled out of the ruins and looked around. The entire Hidden Cloud Village had become a huge crater. A was stunned, followed by boundless rage.

Darui also crawled out of the ruins at this moment, but he looked like a wolf, covered in blood, with one hand on the ground, and making weak panting sounds.

Immediately afterwards, a giant octopus emerged from the ruins. The octopus's tentacles pushed aside the surrounding boulders and then pulled out the unharmed Omoi, Karui, and Atsui, before transforming into Killer Bee's appearance.

"Killer Bee, what are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to stay there?" Ai said angrily when he saw Killer Bee.

“Brother, I heard that the Hidden Cloud Village was attacked, so I rushed over. But as soon as I arrived in the village, I sensed an ominous and dangerous aura. What’s going on?” Killer Bee asked.

"The leader of the organization that captures Jinchuriki has arrived. I never expected him to have such power. In short, Kumogakure is finished!" A said, clenching his fists with immense grief and indignation.

Kirabi also fell silent.

The entire village has been reduced to this state; very few of the original inhabitants of Kumogakure will survive. Kumogakure is no more. At this moment, whether it's Darui lying on the ground or Karui, Omoi, and Atsui kneeling beside him, they are all filled with immense grief.

Tsui burst into tears; her sister had disappeared to save her.

"Lord Raikage, do you need help?" Mashiro appeared unexpectedly, carrying Samui, and spoke softly. "You're still here?" Ai looked at Mashiro, somewhat incredulous.

Mashiro placed the still somewhat dizzy Samui on the ground and then walked towards Ai.

"Sister! You're alright?! That's wonderful!" Seeing that Samui was unharmed, Atsui rushed over and hugged her, crying out. "It's alright, I'm fine," Samui said, stroking Atsui's head as she regained consciousness from the dizziness.

But her mind was still somewhat hazy. She remembered the violent impact, the soft embrace, and then those eerie blue eyes. After that, she had no memory of anything else.

Samui stared at Mashiro's retreating figure, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Yes, I'm still here. So, do you need any help, Raikage-sama?" Mashiro walked up to Ai and said softly.

"Big brother, who is she?" Killer Bee glanced at Mashiro, then asked A. "She's an envoy sent by Konoha," A replied.

An envoy? Killer Bee looked at Mashiro, his heart filled with doubt. The moment he saw Mashiro, the Eight-Tails told him that this person was dangerous, an incomparable danger.

"Help? The Cloud Village is already gone, what help do I need! Hahaha." Ai suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with sorrow.

"What if I told you I could resurrect all the ninjas and civilians of Kumogakure, giving the village a new lease on life?" Mashiro said, looking at A with a light laugh.

“If you can really do it, I’ll give you my life, even if it costs you my life,” Ai said to Mashiro.

Mashiro smiled and snapped her fingers lightly. Then thousands of creatures crawled out of the ruins, each spitting out a Cloud Ninja. Several of them then crawled toward Darui and his companions and began to heal their wounds.

Whether it was A, Killer Bee, or Samui and the others, they all watched this scene in utter shock. "Lord Raikage, all the ninjas of Kumogakure are here," Mashiro said with a smile.

“I owe you a favor. Like I said, I would give you my life if you asked. From now on, you are a hero of the Cloud Village.” After a moment of silence, Ai spoke.

Mana nodded in satisfaction, then said, "Next, I will save the civilians in Kumogakure, but only after I've dealt with this guy."

After saying that, Mashiro pointed to the closed gate.

Guan Dao and Zhen Bai exchanged a glance, then slowly began to descend.

Upon seeing Guan Dao, Ai and Killer Bee's eyes turned icy cold, and a surge of anger began to spread across them. "The rest is up to you." Mashiro turned and left.

As we passed Samui, he reached out and picked her up, then walked away into the distance.

"You guys, follow him. We'll handle this guy," Ai said to Karui and the others. He had already realized that Mashiro was no ordinary person. "Yes, Raikage-sama."

Karui and Omoi helped Darui up, and together with Atsui, they quickly ran in the direction Mashiro had left.

Guan Dao slowly landed on the ground, looked at the two of them, then turned his gaze to Killer Bee and said coldly, "So you are the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki?"

A activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode again, and Killer Bee transformed into his Eight-Tails form. A fierce battle was about to erupt. Meanwhile, Mashiro was carrying Samui as they walked towards the edge of Kumogakure.

Looking at Mashiro's slightly smiling face, Samui finally couldn't help but ask, "How did you do that?" She remembered that Mashiro seemed to be Yugito's friend.

"Do you mean save you? Or save the other ninjas from Kumogakure?" Mashiro asked softly.

“I want to know everything,” Samui said calmly, looking at Mashiro. Her curiosity had always been very strong.

"How to save you is a matter of my privacy, and I regret that I cannot tell you. As for how to save the other ninjas of Kumogakure, that's a long story."

Rewinding to when the Raikage appeared, Mashiro, who had been firmly in control of the battle through the shadow ninja, also began to act. She got up and walked towards Yugito, only to bump into Yugito and Konan, who were locked in a fierce battle.

"The Two-Tails has been captured. How did the Two-Tails in your body come about?" Konan, in her paper angel form, floated in the air and asked Yugito, who had transformed into a tailed beast, in a soft voice.

"If you want to know, guess for yourself," Yugito said coldly, and then the Two-Tails' flames swept towards Konan again. Although it had been soaked in water beforehand, the Two-Tails' flames were still very dangerous for Konan.

Konan dodged the flames from the wooden figure with a swift turn, and then thousands of sheets of white paper scattered from beneath the figure's feet. "The Technique of the Paper God"

The paper was like a sharp blade, trying to cut through Yugito's tailed beast chakra cloak.

Because of the Two-Tails' power, Konan is absolutely no match for Yugito, but it will be difficult for Yugito to defeat Konan quickly.

"Oh dear, what a coincidence. I wonder if you could do me the honor of stopping? After all, we're all family." Mashiro suddenly appeared between the two, forcing them to stop.

Chapter 138: The Great Battle of the Cloud Ninjas (End)

Upon seeing Mashiro suddenly appear, both Yugito and Konan stopped what they were doing.

"Mashiro, what's going on?" Yugito looked at Mashiro with some confusion. She didn't understand why Mashiro wasn't helping her fight the enemy in front of her, but instead chose to mediate.
