Chapter 919: Bored, I Want to See Blood Flowing Like a River!
"Careful!"
"Assassin!"
"Protect the Raikage!"
...
Shouts echoed through the room.
Simultaneously, shurikens rained down from above, striking the 'U'-shaped long table.
In an instant, the atmosphere of the venue changed drastically.
Each of the five Kage had two guards standing beside them, and in the middle of the 'U'-shaped table, four additional figures in cloaks appeared.
At the same time, Sanzen had already placed his hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist.
He hadn't expected that someone would dare to cause trouble during the Five Kage Summit; they were incredibly bold.
"You..."
However, when Sanzen saw a pair and a half of blood-red Sharingan eyes, he couldn't finish his sentence.
Sharingan! He, of course, recognized them.
As for why it was described as a pair and a half?
Well, that's because there were three of them.
Question: Why are there an odd number of eyes?
That's because one person only has one Sharingan.
If you include Kakashi, then there are three people with two Sharingan eyes.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The black cloaks were thrown open, revealing the black and red cloud-patterned uniforms beneath.
Akatsuki! Aside from their uniforms, they already outclassed numerous organizations.
"Uchiha Sasuke, Danzo, how dare you show up here?"
Ohnoki's tone was filled with disbelief.
However, he didn't act rashly; instead, he used his eyes to signal the two Tsuchikage beside him, indicating for them to remain calm.
With the situation unclear, he certainly wouldn't make any hasty decisions.
As for the Yamanaka clan ninja and Chougo, their positions and demeanor made it clear they were subordinates, so no one paid them any mind.
"Uchiha Sasuke!!!"
Amidst the roar, a tall figure emerged, surrounded by lightning.
Zira!
It was the Fourth Raikage, A.
At this moment, his entire body was enveloped in lightning, as if a thunder god had descended.
However, in terms of stature, he wasn't the most imposing; there was someone taller and more robust than him.
Ziro!
This bodyguard of Yecang, after undergoing the Ascension Long Stage Surgery, had also grown to over two meters tall, reaching a height similar to Uchiha Sho and Yamanaka Koji, around 2.2 to 2.3 meters.
His strength was also unparalleled, as the Ascension Long Stage Surgery truly enhanced one's physique.
In a pure physical confrontation, A, the Raikage who had always honed his body with Lightning Chakra Mode, might not necessarily be stronger than him.
However, Ziro didn't step forward either; he merely stood guard beside Yecang.
Without any threat to their Kage and without orders to act, he wouldn't make any reckless moves.
The sound of crackling lightning grew louder, indicating that A was intensifying his Lightning Chakra Mode.
"Raikage, don't be impulsive!"
Mei Terumi casually tried to calm him down.
After all, her village didn't have a Jinchuriki captured by Akatsuki, so she could afford to watch the situation unfold.
As for the two lost Tailed Beasts?
Sorry, the previous Kirigakure did rely on such strategic-level power.
But now?
Kirigakure no longer felt helpless against Tailed Beasts; they could easily handle them without worry.
After becoming stronger, Tailed Beasts didn't seem so formidable anymore.
Aside from their astonishing destructive power, there wasn't much to fear, so it wasn't surprising that they didn't have any.
And of course, Mei's words of comfort wouldn't work. A was determined to capture Sasuke, the main culprit, to exchange for Killer Bee.
"Lightning Release: Lariat!"
A, enveloped in blue lightning, launched his attack.
Unfortunately, without Killer Bee present, it was impossible to perform the combination technique, 'Lightning Release: Double Lariat.'
However, even alone, A displayed terrifying power.
In the eyes of ordinary ninjas, not only could they not defend against this attack, but they wouldn't even be able to see A's figure clearly.
At this moment, his entire body had transformed into a blue flash of lightning.
If it were the Sasuke of the past, facing such an attack, even if he managed to block it by chance, he would still be in a dire situation.
But now, with his enhanced perception and reaction speed, he was able to raise his hand to protect his chest, preventing his body from being struck by A's attack.
Boom!!!
With a massive impact, the Kage, protected by their guards, retreated a short distance.
Observing!
Indeed, no one stepped forward to help.
It wasn't that they were heartless, but rather, the timing wasn't right.
Firstly, if they were to help now, they might face not gratitude but an attack from the two escorts.
Joking aside, although they were all Shadows and had formed an alliance under the pressure of the Sunlight Nation,
their relationship was such that they would seize any opportunity to strike at each other.
Take Great Tree and A, for example!
Although they seemed to be getting along well at the moment,
if A had a chance to kill Great Tree, would he hesitate?
The Third Raikage died under the siege of Great Tree.
Not a single mistake could be made, not a single move could be spared.
This grudge of avenging his father's death remained unfulfilled, only because A knew that the village was more important than his personal vendetta, so he had to suppress his hatred.
If given the chance, he would not hesitate to strike.
The same went for Great Tree.
If he had the opportunity to eliminate his enemy, he would not hold back.
Therefore, it was no surprise that Hi and Darui, instead of supporting their own Shadow, were keeping a close eye on Great Tree as if he were an enemy.
If the other party were to assist and their Dust Release attack went awry, it would be disastrous.
In this situation, the best choice was for the Shadows to retreat and not immediately offer assistance.
Otherwise, any intervention would only make matters worse.
Of course, aside from their strained relationships, they also retreated to form a encirclement, preventing the Dawn members from escaping and allowing them to gather more information about their opponents.
It seemed everyone had their own agenda.
As a result, the situation turned into a one-on-one battle between the Raikage and Sasuke.
However, if they dared to besiege the Raikage, someone would step in to help, ensuring A wouldn't be overwhelmed.
Even if they couldn't intervene, wasn't there still the Iron Country General?
If Sanzen took action, it wouldn't cause any misunderstandings.
Although the opponent was a Samurai, he was also a quasi-Shadow-level powerhouse. With his terrifying lethality, he could hold his own against a Shadow-level opponent.
But that made sense!
If he didn't possess such strength, how could he have the face to act as the host of the Five Kage Summit?
Amidst this tense atmosphere, someone was secretly commenting on the battle.
"Tsk, Nijuushi still lacks experience!"
"If he had dodged a step faster, he could have turned the tables."
"Boring, I want to see bloodshed!"
...
Douhei watched the two figures fighting faster and faster, his mind filled with complaints.
Regarding this battle, he had only one thought.
Boring!
Although it was extremely dangerous, the scene wasn't visually appealing.
Sasuke hadn't even used Susanoo, indicating that the battle hadn't reached its climax.
Douhei had come here hoping to witness an exciting spectacle and a famous battle, so he truly wanted to see bloodshed and also observe if the situation was developing as expected.
Since his debut, Douhei had always been cautious, and he didn't believe that the plot would dictate the outcome of the Ninja World.
If he didn't keep a close eye on things, Rikudo might have set a trap for him.
Especially Nijuushi!
The latter was his secret backup plan, and he couldn't allow Rikudo to interfere with him.
As Douhei was thinking this, the battle intensified, and Jiraiya also joined the fray.
"Danzo!"
It wasn't that Jiraiya wanted to intervene, but Danzo possessed too many of Konoha's secrets and intelligence. Even if he had to kill Danzo, it had to be done by Jiraiya himself.
So, Jiraiya had no choice but to step in.
"Jiraiya, let me see the caliber of the Fifth Hokage!"
Danzo spoke with a cold and sinister tone.
He harbored immense resentment towards the fact that the position of Hokage hadn't fallen to him.
He had endured injuries and shed blood for Konoha, yet why couldn't he become the Hokage?
It was because he genuinely wanted to restore Konoha's glory.
However, even if he couldn't become the Fifth Hokage, if he could defeat Jiraiya, wouldn't that prove that he was more suitable for the position than Jiraiya?
As this thought flashed through his mind, Danzo took the initiative and attacked.
