Moon Country.
Swish, swish, swish...
Black shadows, carrying the sound of breaking wind, fell one by one to a high cliff.
And on the edge of the high cliff, a majestic figure stood there, in the wind and snow, looking at the town with dim lights in the distance.
"Lord Raikage!"
At this time, the black shadows that fell on the cliff saluted the figures on the edge of the cliff.
no doubt.
These dark shadows falling on the edge of the cliff are none other than Kirabi, Yumu Ren and others who traveled day and night from the Kingdom of Thunder and spent a whole day and night to get to the Kingdom of the Moon.
The majestic figure standing on the edge of the cliff is naturally the Fourth Raikage who is preparing to lead the team himself.
The Fourth Raikage was still looking into the distance and asked angrily: "Is everyone here?"
Kirabi took a step forward: "Brother, the Yuki team and I arrived first. Your direct ANBU is still behind. It will take about half a day to arrive!"
The Fourth Raikage frowned when he heard this, but didn't say much.
Because he knew very well that it would usually take about two to three days to get from the Kingdom of Thunder to the Kingdom of the Moon, even with a ninja's pace.
Kirabi and the others were able to arrive in one day and night simply because this team was too elite.
In comparison, the ANBU directly under him were slightly inferior, so it took a day and a half to arrive.
Yukito looked around and saw that there were not only the Fourth Raikage and Kirabi's 'ab' team on the cliff, but also her four-person team and a four-person communications squad.
Such a lineup is even enough to launch a surprise attack on the Kage of other ninja villages, so she also stepped forward and said: "Lord Raikage, we should be enough to complete the mission!"
Kirabi changed his previous frivolous attitude: "Brother, why don't you... wait a little longer? The Anbu will arrive in half a day at most!"
The Fourth Raikage shook his head: "It's too late!"
Yukito asked: "Lord Raikage, has the situation changed?"
"The target's whereabouts were discovered the evening before yesterday. At that time, the target had completed the bounty exchange. Now two days have passed, and the target is about to leave the border of Moon Country and arrive in Yu Country. If I continue to wait, I will be taken advantage of by Konoha. !”
The Fourth Raikage expressed his worries.
The Kingdom of the Moon is close to the Kingdom of Thunder and falls within Kumogakure's sphere of influence. The Kingdom of Yu is close to the Kingdom of Fire and belongs to Konoha's sphere of influence.
Konoha's intelligence capabilities are not inferior to Kumogakure.
Therefore, the Raikage is worried that Konoha has probably discovered the target they are targeting and is tracking it. If the problem cannot be solved within the Kingdom of the Moon, the variables will be huge.
Yukito said: "If that's the case, then what are we waiting for?"
Kirabi thought for a while and said: "Brother, let's take action!"
The Fourth Raikage nodded, then signaled the ninjas in the communication class to hand over the target information to Kirabi and Yukito, and then said: "Our target this time is Kakuzu and Hidan in the Akatsuki organization. Two people. Kakuzu is a rebellious nin from Taki Ninja Village, and Hidan is a rebellious nin from Yu Ninja Village. Both of them have the strength of jounin."
Yukito chuckled: "They are just two rebellious ninjas from a small ninja village. There is no need for you to lead the team yourself!"
The Fourth Raikage actually didn't take Kakuzu and Hidan seriously. He said solemnly: "We, Kumogakure, are bound to win this operation, let's go!"
After saying that, with a "Peng" sound, he roared away into the distance like a cannonball.
Kirabi, Yukito and other Kumogakure ninjas looked at each other, and then excitedly followed the Fourth Raikage.
This operation can be said to be the most elite team sent by Kumogakure after the Third Ninja War. It can be said that they are full of masters!
Not only did the Raikage take action himself, but neither of the two jinchūriki were left behind.
Although the opponent's strength was average and the task was not difficult, it still made the elites of Kumogakure feel the excitement they had not seen for a long time!
...
Zetsu poked out from the ground and said to Obito on the side: "Kumogakure and the others have already started taking action!"
Obito asked, "How many people are here?"
Zetsu replied: "In addition to the Fourth Raikage and the two Jinchuuriki, there seem to be six or seven Kumogakure ninjas following, but half of these people are communication ninjas, and the remaining two or three should be Kumogakure's elites! "
Obito chuckled and said, "Only bring so many people?"
Excluding the ninja responsible for communications, the manpower sent by Kumogakure this time was only two teams.
If this manpower is only used to deal with Kakuzu and Hidan, it is indeed enough, but as the shadow of a village, Raikage should obviously take some emergencies into consideration.
The fact that Raikage is so reckless only shows one thing, that is, he has absolute confidence in himself.
Swish swish...
At this time, the demon and Shen Nong fell in front of Obito one after another.
Obito said: "The target has taken action, you are ready!"
Shennong had some doubts: "Really want to fight Raikage? That guy is a monster!"
The demon glanced at Shennong: "Are you afraid?"
Shennong didn't hide anything and nodded lightly: "Now that Zero Tail is not completed, I don't have much confidence in fighting against a strong person of that level!"
Obito ordered: "This time it is the action of the entire organization, so you don't have to worry. Your target is Rabbi Kiri, the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki. At the critical moment, I will take action!"
The demon's face darkened: "Will those three guys participate?"
Undoubtedly, the demon was referring to Shinji, Shiro, and Karin.
Obito said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out! So you don't have to worry, our Akatsuki organization is bound to win this action!"
The demon looked relaxed: "I would like to see how powerful the rumored perfect jinchuriki is! Leave it to me later for the eight-tailed jinchuriki!"
Shen Nong said: "I'll help you hold down Lei Ying!"
Obito waved his hand: "Go down and get ready!"
...
Moon Country, by the lake.
Kakuzu and Hidan were sitting by the campfire, chatting incessantly.
Hidan complained: "Hey, hey, how long are we going to stay in this damn place?"
Kakuzu added some firewood to the bonfire: "We are bait, how long you wait depends on when the target will take the bait!"
"Why go to all this trouble? Can't we just go to Kumogakure and capture the two Jinchuuriki?"
Hidan spat lightly.
Kakuzu glanced at Hidan: "I won't collect the corpse for you!"
"You guy!" Hidan stood up angrily, flicked the bloody March Scythe in his hand, and pointed it at Kakuzu: "You look down on me?"
Kakuzu said indifferently: "Anyone who underestimates Raikage will have a bad end, even if you are immortal, you are no exception!"
Hidan put away the Bloody March Scythe: "Hey, are you concerned about me?"
Kakuzu shook his head: "I just think it's troublesome to change partners all the time, and you are more durable than the previous partners, so I don't want you to die too early!"
Wow...
At this moment, a burst of paper accompanied by snowflakes floated in front of the two of them.
Then the pieces of paper gathered into a ball, condensed into Xiaonan's appearance in mid-air, and said: "The target has taken the bait, you are ready!"
Hidan was overjoyed when he heard this, and while twisting his neck, he said, "Oh, finally I don't have to wait around in this damn place!"
Kakuzu looked at Konan and asked, "What will be our mission later?"
Xiaonan said calmly: "Your mission is to capture the two-tailed Jinchuriki Yuki. Remember, the Jinchuriki must be alive! As for other enemies, you don't have to worry about them. There will be other members to help you deal with them!"
After saying that, Xiao Nan in mid-air transformed into a burst of flying paper again and disappeared into the night.
The Raikage and his team moved very quickly. Based on the intelligence they were constantly gathering, they made several adjustments to their route and tracked all the way. They quickly locked onto the area where Kakuzu and Hidan were last seen, and then pounced on them. , came to the forest outside the lake.
Swish, swish, swish...
In the darkness of night, Yunyin's group of people were walking quickly in the forest, as fast as ghosts.
At this time, a Kumogakure ninja from the communications class said: "Sir Raikage, we found a bonfire by the lake ahead, it is probably the target's foothold!"
"Finally found you!"
The Fourth Raikage's expression instantly turned ferocious, and then he activated the 'Thunder Chakra Mode' without hesitation, accelerated suddenly, and rushed towards the bonfire in the distance.
boom!
At this moment, a giant dark purple tentacle shot out from the shadows, stabbing the Fourth Raikage who was rushing at the front of the team, and slammed the Raikage to the ground.
"Lord Raikage!"
Everyone in Yunyin suddenly exclaimed.
However, before Kumogakure and the others could rush over, the Fourth Raikage, who had just been hit by a giant tentacle, flew up and tore off the giant tentacle that attacked him. With his brute force, he tore the giant tentacle into pieces. for several paragraphs.
Everyone in Kumogakure looked at this moment and saw that the Fourth Raikage, who was completely wrapped in Thunder Chakra, was unharmed!
The Fourth Raikage looked in the direction from which the giant tentacle was shooting, and shouted: "Get out!"
"Are you the Raikage?"
A joking voice suddenly came from the forest, and then, two figures walked out of the shadows slowly.
Everyone in Yunyin followed the sound and found that the two figures walking out of the shadows were members of the Akatsuki organization wearing red cloud cloaks. However, unlike what the intelligence showed, these two members of the Akatsuki organization were obviously not the target of their trip, Kakuzu and Hidan.
"Oops, this is a trap!"
Xi's face darkened and she reminded everyone in a low voice.
It was obviously Kumogakure who was hunting the Akatsuki organization, but it turned out that the Akatsuki organization attacked them. This undoubtedly shows that Kakuzu and Hidan's appearance in the Moon Country was a bait deliberately arranged by the Akatsuki organization, in order to lure them Kumogakure into taking the bait. .
Yunyin and the others were not fools either, they all reacted with solemn expressions.
Only Kirabi and Yukito, the two jinchūriki, are still fighting high!
At this time, the Fourth Raikage also recognized the identity of the two people in the forest, and his eyes were full of anger: "You bastard, how dare you appear in front of me!"
It was obvious that the two members of the Akatsuki organization who walked out of the forest were none other than Shen Xi and Shen Nong.
In the recent incident of Zuosuke's escape, this monster sprite massacred a large number of Kumogakure ninjas, causing the Fourth Raikage to lose all face at the Five Kage Conference. So now that he saw the sprite, how could the Fourth Raikage still hold back? , suddenly became furious!
Sa...
In an instant, the Fourth Raikage turned into a bolt of lightning and pounced on the demon.
Boom!
Before the demon could react, the Fourth Raikage in the 'Thunder Chakra Mode' bumped into him, sending him flying, knocking down seven or eight big trees without stopping. , setting off a large air wave and smoke in the forest.
Shennong, who was beside the demon, remained stunned: "This..."
"One solved!"
"As expected of Lord Raikage!"
"Hmph, these bastards from the Akatsuki organization must know how powerful we Kumogakure are!"
Not far away, the Kumogakure ninjas were all excited.
Being hit head-on by the Fourth Raikage, not to mention ordinary ninjas, even the other Four Kages couldn't bear it, so in their eyes, the so-called monster should be dead and can no longer die.
The Fourth Raikage turned his head and looked at Shennong: "It's your turn!"
Seeing this, Nozomi quickly shouted: "Lord Raikage, please stay alive!"
The Fourth Raikage said coldly: "Don't worry, I will only break his hands and feet, not kill him!"
Shennong was frightened by the momentum of the Fourth Raikage, and for a moment he had the intention of retreating.
At this moment, a monster's laughter suddenly came from the distance: "Hahaha, is this the only level of the so-called Raikage?"
Everyone quickly looked over and found that the monster sprite that had just been knocked away by the Fourth Raikage was now standing unscathed on a broken tree and laughing wantonly.
The Fourth Raikage was irritated by the laughter and immediately dodged his body and pounced on the monster in the distance again.
The monster smiled evilly, turned around and fled deep into the forest.
When Kirabi saw this, he was worried about the safety of the Fourth Raikage, so he immediately activated his 'Instant Body Technique' and followed him.
Shennong didn't dare to hesitate and chased after him.
In the blink of an eye, the four of them broke away from the group and were chasing them deep into the forest.
Yukito ordered at this time: "The communication team will spread the news here and ask the ANBU to come over immediately for support. The others will follow me!"
"yes!"
The communications team all responded.
And Nozomi, Karul, and Gesha, the three elite jounin in Yuki's team, are all ready to follow Yuki's pursuit of the fourth generation Raikage who has gone away.
Swish swish...
Suddenly, two more figures wearing red cloud cloaks from the Akatsuki organization descended from the sky and stopped in front of Yumu Ren and others.
Yukito looked around and realized that the two members of the Akatsuki organization in front of him were the target of their trip, Kakuto, Hidan.
Kakuzu and Hidan were also looking at everyone in Kumogakure at this moment.
Hidan, who was carrying the bloody Mitsuki Kama, curled his lips: "Hey, is this leader the guy from Kumogakure's two-tailed Jinchuuriki?"
Kakuzu nodded, with a look of regret on his face: "Well, it's a pity that you can't exchange it for the bounty if you have to live."
"That's fine. Since you're here to die, I, Yumu, will help you!" Yumu, not afraid at all, waved his hand: "Back off the communications team, this place is left to us!"
...
on the moon.
Shinji looked at the headless corpse in front of him. He was startled at first, and then reacted instantly. He squatted down, dug out the white eyes from the eye sockets of the old man's head on the ground, and then put them into a small nutrition tank he carried with him.
Neji said: "Sir, I..."
"Stop talking and run away!"
Shinji interrupted Neji and took the lead in escaping toward the entrance of the temple without even looking at the giant Tsangigan behind him.
