The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Inside, you'll be met with complete paralysis and dust-trapping cubes raining down from the sky—both clearly deadly.

"What do you think would happen if the lightning from Kumogakure flowed over with the rainwater?"

Onoki looked at the area ahead and asked calmly.

Upon receiving this warning, Huang Tu felt a chill run down his spine. If this were to actually happen, wouldn't it mean that anyone who entered Amegakure would be paralyzed?

"It can't be that scary, right?"

Huang Tu asked uncertainly, "If the paralysis attribute really spreads throughout Amegakure, how can the five great ninja villages get to the central area?"

"Who knows? Order the troops to move towards Sunagakure."

Onoki shook his head. Although it seemed incredible, it didn't seem like something that couldn't happen.

"The air is slowly becoming humid, but there is still no rain falling on the ground."

Gaara looked at the area in front of him and felt a headache coming on. The intense heat hadn't changed because of the rain, and the scalding ground hadn't been moistened by the rain either. But the humid heat that hit him made him feel uncomfortable all over.

If he were to fight in such an environment, his sand would be completely useless; it would be soaked by the air as soon as it was summoned, rendering it utterly ineffective.

"Perhaps the only chance to get in is from Kirigakure."

Granny Chiyo calmly looked around. The walls of Amegakure had all been demolished, but this did not allow the five great ninja villages to find a way to enter Amegakure.

"But it will take time for that ice to melt."

Gaara felt a bit of a headache. Konoha had guided the changes in the environment of Amegakure, but whether this was a good thing or a bad thing was still unknown.

Snowflakes began to fall in the area in front of Terumi Mei, but she was still standing in the warm rain. The difference of just a hair's breadth made such a change that Terumi Mei didn't know what to say.

The only good news is that the temperature in the area near Konoha has increased significantly and is slowly affecting this area. Perhaps it won't be long before the temperature in this area rises.

Dawn soon arrived again. By then, they had spent two nights and one day here. Mei Terumi, who had changed her clothes and was wearing a straw hat to avoid the rain, was pleasantly surprised to find that the snowflakes in the area ahead had turned into raindrops.

Although it would freeze after landing, this indicated that the temperature had increased. Taking a step forward instinctively, Mei Terumi still felt unbearably cold, but it was much better than before.

If this continues, in another day, it will reach a level that ninjas can accept.

"The balance with Sunagakure has been broken."

Bai Pingjing's voice came, and Terumi Mei slowly smiled. Perhaps in less than half a day, this place will be passable.

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened, and Mei Terumi subconsciously looked up, only to see that the torrential rain had intensified to another level!

"Pass the word down, everyone get ready!"

Mei Terumi said seriously, "If this continues, we'll be able to enter Amegakure in just a few hours!"

Chapter 441 The key question is who went in.

While Mei Mizukage was unusually excited, Darui's face was grim. As dark clouds covered the sky, streaks of blue lightning flickered above Amegakure.

If it were just a lightning strike, Darui wouldn't be so horrified. Just as he expected, because of the rain, the Cloud Village ninjas who had fallen to the ground had hope of being saved.

In fact, that's exactly what they did. Apart from Raikage A, who was still standing in place, the rest of the Cloud Village ninjas had already left the area.

However, that's not the main point. The main point is the Thunder Spear left behind by the mysterious man. Although it has been largely submerged by the rain, the paralyzing effect is weakening as the rain intensifies.

But this thing seems to be able to accurately attract lightning from the sky. If the Fourth Raikage hadn't retreated in time, an unimaginable thunderstorm would have undoubtedly struck.

By then, the Raikage will probably be in a state of being burnt to a crisp again.

This is not good news for Kumogakure. The only hope now is that the Raikage can escape this area with his paralyzed body.

However, this is still very difficult. Although the paralysis is decreasing, it is still very difficult to move.

This looks like a dead end.

A faint flash of lightning descended from the dark clouds. Upon witnessing this, Darui felt a sudden darkness engulf him. It wasn't that he was unwilling to accept reality, but rather that the enormous flash of light directly robbed him of his sight.

A temporary state of blindness occurred.

Before the towering lightning could even ravage the entire Rain Village, it was all drawn towards the location of the Thunder Spear.

A terrifying burst of energy exploded out, and the Fourth Raikage, A, who was still moving his body, was blasted away.

Once his vision returned, Darui saw the lightning spear connected to the thunderclouds in the sky, and visible lightning also appeared on the surface of the previously flowing rain.

"If this continues, the time when the rain completely covers the entire area of ​​Amegakure will be the time when the Five Great Shinobi Villages are defeated."

Darui's expression was somewhat grim. The rain was still gradually widening, and the rainwater inside Amegakure had never been able to drain out of the village in the first place. The final outcome was basically already predetermined: the Thunder Spear would continuously absorb the lightning from the sky, and then the water in this area would become electrified.

The water flow is unrestricted. Konoha will not have rain for the time being due to the raging fire, but the situation in Iwagakure will cause the terrain there to continue to drop.

In other words, the lightning-infused waters from Kumogakure will flow into the area under Iwagakure's control, thus making two areas of Amegakure restricted zones.

As long as the high temperatures in Konoha and Sunagakure do not disappear, the snow and ice areas in Kirigakure will eventually melt. At that time, a massive amount of water will flow into Sunagakure due to the terrain, and its final destination will still be Iwagakure.

The area of ​​Konoha where the trees are constantly burning is a restricted zone, and the remaining four areas may also become restricted zones. The only way to enter Amegakure is when the snow and ice in Kirigakure begin to melt but the water has not yet flowed into Iwagakure.

"Where is Lord Raikage?"

Feeling somewhat desperate, Darui subconsciously looked ahead and discovered that the Fourth Raikage, whom he had expected to be inside, had disappeared.

"Here!"

Just as Darui was getting anxious, Mabui's voice came from behind. Darui looked up and saw the Raikage being helped up by her.

At this moment, Lord Raikage looked somewhat disheveled. To be precise, it couldn't be called disheveled; his current situation could be described as having undergone a complete makeover.

His once robust body was now covered in lightning-like patterns from top to bottom, and there were at least a dozen areas of bleeding all over his body.

Without even needing to observe closely, Darui could tell from his somewhat pale eyes that Lord Raikage's eyesight was probably not going to be reliable for the time being.

"Everyone from Kumogakure has been moved to the area under Konoha's control. This is a restricted zone; there's no way to break through!"

After confirming that the Raikage's life was temporarily safe, Darui immediately issued an order. This was not only to facilitate the subsequent advance, but more importantly, to ensure that the Raikage's injuries could be treated as quickly as possible upon arriving in Konoha.

The ninjas from Kumogakure and Iwagakure began their operation simultaneously, and these two areas had been completely abandoned.

Meanwhile, while Konoha was healing Raikage A with a shadow clone, Darui and Mabui were exchanging information with Konoha.

"Is this Akatsuki's goal? If we can't successfully enter the center of Amegakure in a very short time, then we can only watch helplessly as Akatsuki does whatever they want?"

Tsunade's expression was somewhat grim. There were so many ninjas from the five great ninja villages, while the center of Amegakure was only the size of a few towers; it was impossible to accommodate them all.

Once a small number of people enter, they will be completely isolated from the outside world due to the rain and lightning. Even ninjas who can fly will not be able to successfully enter Amegakure under such a rain curtain.

Moreover, if you fly high, you might get struck by lightning, which is basically unsolvable. You either have to give up the biggest advantage of the five great ninja villages, or watch the Akatsuki organization fulfill their ambitions.

"We definitely have to go in. The key is who goes in. Each ninja village can just bring its elites. Other ninjas are completely useless in a war like this!"

While they were still talking, the Fourth Raikage, A, slowly walked in. After being treated by his shadow clone, he was back to his lively self, but the marks on his body couldn't be removed, since they weren't injuries.

"That's definitely the best way. Let's move towards the Mizukage and Kazekage now!"

Tsunade did not refuse, as this was the best solution she could think of; no other method could solve the small, hard-to-reach problem in the central area of ​​Amegakure.

The hot rain continued to fall. Mei Terumi watched the ice slowly melting under the rain, a slight smile playing on her lips. Once the first round of melting was over, she would be able to enter Amegakure.

It has taken almost two whole days since we set off, which is really frustrating for the five great ninja villages. Once they enter Amegakure, they will definitely make the Akatsuki members pay the price!

While Mei Terumi was still looking forward to it, Gaara and Onoki both had rather unpleasant expressions. At this moment, they were located at the border between Iwagakure and Sunagakure.

Under the influence of the gray cube, there was a nearly 100-meter difference in elevation between the area under the jurisdiction of Iwagakure and the area under the jurisdiction of Sunagakure. What made the two of them look grim was the speed at which the water level in the Iwagakure area was rising.

"It looks like there's not much time left. At this rate, the entire Amegakure will be covered in rain in at most another day!"

Ohnoki said helplessly, although the gray cubes in the sky were still falling, they still couldn't keep up with the speed at which the water flowed in.

Chapter 442 The Death of Naruto Uzumaki

"The most crucial point is that once it's formed, the entire area will be isolated. According to news from Kumogakure, even Kage-level beings will be affected by paralysis."

Gaara was also speechless. In such a downpour, he was just an ordinary ninja, what kind of Kazekage was he?

If someone playing in the sand encounters such an environment, it's a natural counter, and they have absolutely no ability to fight back.

"This rain has a big impact on you, and of course it has the same effect on me!"

Onoki spoke helplessly. The rain was a devastating blow to the newly appointed Kazekage, and his body couldn't withstand fighting for long in such an environment, given his advanced age.

"What does the Sand Village think about the matter I discussed with you before?"

Taking advantage of the fact that they still had something in common, Onoki calmly asked, hoping that Kurotsuchi could recover, both personally and professionally. However, given the answer he received from the Konoha medical ninja, he could only look for even more outrageous forbidden techniques.

"If we can win, Sunagakure can help with the healing."

Gaara said calmly, "Although the relationship between Iwagakure and Sunagakure is not very good, it is best to agree to it for now. If they win, Sunagakure can use this to reach a peace agreement with Iwagakure."

As long as the next Tsuchikage is that ninja named Kurotsuchi, Sunagakure and Iwagakure will have at least fifty years of peace, which is enough for Sunagakure to recover.

Whether the balance of power will shift after fifty years of peace remains to be seen!

"Thank you very much."

Onoki, understanding Sunagakure's general meaning, nodded. He knew that healing couldn't be done during battle, but if they could win, Sunagakure would surely remember their promise.

Just as Onoki finished speaking, he suddenly saw that all the gray cubes inside the Iwagakure area had disappeared without a trace!

"Something's happened! If the depth over there doesn't stop increasing, doesn't that mean the time it will take for the water to cover the entire Amegakure village will be shortened?"

Onoki's voice drew Gaara's attention. After noticing the anomaly in the Iwagakure area, Gaara turned to look at the area where no rain was falling, but it was still quite humid.

"Let's head towards Kirigakure. Once the water flows over here, the entire area will be covered in high-temperature steam, making it impossible to move forward."

After Gaara finished speaking, he immediately went to give instructions to the Sunagakure team, and Onoki did not object. In the current situation, the only way to break the deadlock is probably through the snow and ice area controlled by Kirigakure.

Although it was cold, they probably couldn't hold out for long under such conditions, and this was the last chance for the five great ninja villages.

The original plan was to charge straight in, but now the only way is to unite and push forward, which is still hard for the five great ninja villages to accept.

-----------------

In the secret chamber beneath the central tower of Amegakure, the Nine-Tails' chakra within Naruto Uzumaki was being extracted by the Gedo Mazo. Under these circumstances, Naruto could only let out painful screams, unable to even move his fingers.

"It's finally almost over."

Noticing the decrease in the flow of Nine-Tails chakra, Nagato, controlling Pain, calmly said that his chakra was greatly depleted, and if he had two more days, he might die directly from sealing Nine-Tails.

Other Akatsuki members did not have such concerns, since Nagato was the one who performed the sealing technique, and they were merely participants.

"Those people are still very strong; so far, not a single ninja from the Five Great Shinobi Villages has managed to find this place!"
