Traveling through Naruto with Heroes of Might and Magic.

Shisui's voice, transmitted through chakra, instantly resounded throughout the entire base.

The alarm sounded.

The ninjas quickly took their positions, their eyes fixed intently on the distance.

"coming!"

Nara Suzaku climbed to a high point. "Has Captain Seigo not returned yet?"

Zhi Shui shook his head.

"It should be a probing attack by the earthen platform."

Nara Suzaku immediately assessed the situation: "Don't expose all your firepower! Everyone stay hidden and coordinate with your summoned beasts to repel Kumogakure!"

"Understood!" The Konoha squad leader accepted the order and left.

The stronghold was half empty; Tu Tai must have received the news and came to test the waters.

The Cloud Village split into dozens of small teams, taking advantage of the cover of night and the terrain, and quickly made their way towards the Konoha stronghold.

Zhi Shui analyzed, "Judging from their speed, they are an elite reconnaissance team, but they are not many in number, only about a hundred people."

Nara Suzaku nodded.

A probing attack isn't scary; what he's worried about is if the Cloud Village discovers his true strength and launches a full-scale attack, and Captain Qingwu isn't there at that time...

He didn't know when it started, but the Thousand-Handed Green Wutong had become a deep-seated dependence in his heart.

……

The Cloud Hidden Infiltration Team soon encountered a "surprise".

As soon as a Cloud Shadow squad climbed the hill, several arrows came flying at them. They barely managed to dodge them, but then a dwarf hiding in a crevice in the rock crawled out and struck them with a hammer.

Meanwhile, the explosive tag traps and tripwires set up by the Konoha ninjas also proved effective.

They quickly routed the leading dozens of Cloud Hidden warriors.

The presence of dwarf warriors made life difficult for the Cloud Ninjas, who were known for their speed and aggression, in addition to the occasional triggering of traps and ranged attacks from the Great Elves.

After suffering nearly half its casualties, the Cloud Village's raiding force retreated in disarray.

They didn't even touch the outer wall of the stronghold.

Throughout the entire process, the Konoha ninjas inside the stronghold were almost completely exposed, except for the necessary observation posts.

As Yunyin retreated in a disheveled state, a suppressed cheer erupted from within the stronghold.

"Well done!"

Nara Suzaku clapped his hands in delight, "Captain Seigo's summoning technique is so useful!"

However, his joy did not last long.

Soon, the Cloud Village launched a second wave of probing attacks.

This time, thanks to the first wave of reconnaissance, the locations of many units and traps were exposed, and the Cloud Village's reconnaissance team successfully broke into the stronghold.

Even though there were withered tree guards in every direction within the base, and the Konoha ninjas helped to repel the Cloud Village once again, the base's weakness was still exposed.

Sure enough, less than two hours after the Cloud Hidden Reconnaissance Team retreated,

From the direction of the Cloud Village camp, a dense mass of Cloud Ninja troops surged out of the camp like a tide, quickly deploying into formation on the open terrain.

There were more than two thousand people, and many of them were Jonin with powerful chakra!

Even more striking were the two figures standing like landmarks at the very front of that Cloud Ninja force.

A man with a towering, mountain-like physique, wearing a morale-boosting Thunder Shadow Hat!

The other man was equally tall, with dark skin, wearing sunglasses, and carrying seven short knives crossed on his back. He was swaying his body gently to a certain rhythm.

"The Fourth Raikage! And... the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki!"

On the city wall of the stronghold, Nara Shikaku's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

His worst fears have come true!

Not only did the Hidden Cloud Village launch a massive attack, but the Raikage and Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, also personally took to the field!

This is no test; this is a thunderous attack to seize the stronghold in one fell swoop! And Captain Qingwu... hasn't returned yet!

Inside the base, the Konoha ninja, who had just breathed a sigh of relief after repelling the probing attack,

At that moment, it felt like being doused with a bucket of ice water from head to toe, the chill penetrating straight to the heart.

Looking at the dark, imposing army of Cloud Ninjas in the distance, and the two imposing figures in front of them, as imposing as mountains, a sense of despair began to spread uncontrollably.

"Don't panic!"

Nara Suzaku forcibly suppressed his shock and roared at the top of his lungs, "Prepare for battle! All squads, take your positions!"

His voice barely managed to steady the panicked ninjas, but fear was written all over their faces.

That's the "AB combination" from Kumogakure, who became famous during the Fourth Shinobi World War!!

Can they hold out with such a small force?

but……

They also knew perfectly well that turning tail and running on the battlefield would mean an even quicker death!

"Snake Princess, Heavenly Treasury."

Shisui leaped down from the watchtower, landing beside the two, and said rapidly, "Prepare for the worst! Tenzo, use Wood Release to reinforce the outer walls and fortifications. Buy as much time as you can."

"Snake Princess, prepare the retreat plan. I'll hold them off and buy you some time."

"Mongoose!!" Red Bean exclaimed urgently, "How can you manage alone?!"

"Someone has to go!" Shisui's Sharingan, with its three tomoe, was already activated, and he was frighteningly calm. "With the captain gone, it's my responsibility to protect you."

Just like how Qingwu of the Shadow Guard was the "decision-maker" under Captain Kakashi, Shisui has always played the role of "vice-captain" because of his strength.

"But..." Hongdou was about to say something more.

The usually gentle Shisui said sternly, "Execute the order!"

"...Yes!" Tenzo gritted his teeth and slammed his hands on the ground: "Wood Release: Linked Pillars Technique!"

More wooden walls rose from the ground, connecting with the existing fortifications in an attempt to reinforce this fragile defense.

These fortifications, of course, could not stop a powerful figure like the Raikage; they could only slow down the advance of the Cloud Village army.

Hongdou pursed her lips, her eyes red, and turned to prepare for the retreat.

She witnessed the Raikage's strength during their previous ambush, and now that Shisui is going alone, she's afraid...

Shisui took a deep breath, and his figure transformed into a blurry afterimage.

The side gate of the stronghold slowly opened, and four unicorns emerged, their bodies rapidly expanding as they stood guard in front of the stronghold.

Behind the unicorn, Shisui appeared alone and charged straight at the surging Cloud Village army.

In the distance, at the front of the Cloud Hidden Army's formation.

The Raikage looked at Uchiha Shisui, who had rushed out of the base alone, and the unicorns behind him. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, which then turned into cold mockery.

"Just you alone?!"

The Raikage's gaze swept over the seemingly quiet but actually weakly defended Konoha stronghold: "Where's Senju Seigo? Is he hiding?"

"Yo~! Big brother, it seems the intelligence was right, Konoha's main force has been transferred away~! Only this brat and a few beasts are left~! Idiot! Bastard!"

Killer Bee twisted his body, his gaze behind his sunglasses scrutinizing Shisui with interest. "Uchiha brat... I didn't get a chance to fight him last time, but this time I'll give him a good lesson!"

Shisui felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He couldn't control the unicorn, so it didn't follow him forward but stayed in front of the stronghold, maintaining a guard posture.

"Be careful, Bi!"

Lei Ying said in a deep voice, but his eyes kept scanning the surroundings warily, especially the area behind the stronghold and the sky.

The elusive spirit beasts and magical arts of the Thousand-Handed Green Wu left him with a deep psychological trauma.

He wasn't sure if the other party was deliberately feigning weakness to set a trap.

"Understood! Big brother, you hold the fort and watch my performance! You idiot! You bastard!" Killer Bee's words were cut short as he vanished.

call out!

It wasn't a teleportation technique, but a terrifying speed resulting from pure physical bursts of energy!

The next moment, he appeared dozens of meters in front of Shisui, the seven short swords on his back already drawn, dancing and swirling around his body.

It brought with it a shrill sound of air being torn apart and a strange fluctuation of chakra!

Shisui's pupils contracted sharply, and his Sharingan spun wildly, trying to capture the trajectory of the countless flashes of sword light.

It's too fast! And its trajectory is unpredictable and erratic, as if it were alive!

He instantly realized that both taking the hit head-on and completely dodging it would be extremely difficult.

"Genjutsu: Sharingan!"

He tried to interfere with the illusion, but Killer Bee, as a perfect Jinchūriki, had the consciousness of the Eight-Tails Gyūki within him, making him extremely resistant to illusions. He only paused slightly, and his sword strikes were almost unaffected.

"Seven-Sword Style: Wild Heron Slaying Blade!"

Killer Bee swept toward Stillwater like a storm at a speed beyond visual perception!

His first move was a deadly strike.

Even the Raikage didn't expect Killer Bee to be so murderous today.

In reality, Killer Bee didn't say it outright, but after the Raikage returned severely injured last time, he had already blamed the two Konoha brats for it.

"Yoho~~!"

The seven swords, from different angles, rhythmically shifted their chakra, sealing off almost all of Shisui's escape routes!

There's nothing we can do.

"Susanoo!"

Without further hesitation, Shisui let out a low shout, and the three tomoe in his eyes instantly transformed into four windmills!

Emerald green chakra erupted and instantly coalesced around him into the incomplete Susanoo, which consisted of only ribs and one arm!
