Chapter 384: The Wolf is Coming, The Wolf is Really Coming
Ino sat on the steps and took out the Shichiseiken and Benihisago to study for a while.
A person who touched the Kōkinjō would spit out the "word spirit" of their most frequently used word. The Shichiseiken would cut the word spirit, and the Benihisago would absorb the word spirit, make a mark, and then suck the owner of the word spirit into the gourd. These three, used in combination, were an infinitely powerful treasured tool. Taken out individually, they weren't completely useless, but they were basically not of much use.
She had a deep understanding of souls, but for a moment, she couldn't quite understand what this "word spirit" was, only feeling it was a rather vague concept.
The Kohaku no Jōhei was much simpler and cruder. "I call your name, do you dare to answer?" Once the other side answered, with a "swoosh," they would be sucked in.
She looked at the Kohaku no Jōhei in the center of the room and quickly made up her mind.
In the evening, in the Raikage's office.
The Fourth Raikage was using equipment to train his pectoral muscles. C, on the side, was reading documents to him. Even though the Cloud ninjas were a bunch of rough men, there were many who padded their documents, adding some, in his opinion, meaningless words, trying to get some face time with him, the leader.
They would often use a pile of adjectives to describe the tragic scene, and very tediously describe how many ninjutsu they used and how many ninjutsu the enemy used. The Fourth Raikage didn't like to listen to these things at all, nor did he have the patience to read them. He left it all to C to summarize, and then just tell him what happened in one sentence.
Small matters were handled by C. For major matters, he would ask the Fourth Raikage, who would either agree or disagree.
If he agreed, C would stamp it. If he disagreed, C would write a formal handling opinion.
The door to the office was suddenly pushed open.
Omoi once again ran in in a panic.
"Sharingan! I… I suspect I was controlled by the Sharingan!"
The Fourth Raikage acted as if he didn't hear and continued to lift weights. C waved his hand casually, signaling the ninjas at the door to drag Omoi away. You come every day, aren't you tired? Kid, go home and sleep.
"Really, Lord Raikage, it's really the Sharingan, it seems…"
The Fourth Raikage shouted sternly, "Seems like what!"
Omoi's memory was a bit blurry. "It seems like an old man used the Sharingan to control me?"
The Fourth Raikage sneered. Currently, there were only a few ninjas in the world who used the Sharingan, and none of them were old men.
Two Cloud ninjas politely dragged him out.
"Short black hair, a gloomy face, bandages covering his right eye and the right half of his body, seems to be wearing a black robe and holding a cane…"
Omoi quickly recalled the information in his mind. The Fourth Raikage completely ignored him. C, however, became alert. This sounded like Danzō Shimura from Konoha. But Danzō had been living in seclusion for more than twenty years, and many Konoha ninjas had never seen him, let alone a ninja from another village like C.
The description sounded like him, but was it really him? He really didn't know.
"Where did you see this person?"
Omoi pointed to the northeast corner of the village. "The treasure room! The place where the Kohaku no Jōhei is kept!"
As soon as his voice fell, a heaven-and-earth-shattering roar came from the east side of the village, accompanied by the sound of explosions and a black pillar of smoke rising straight into the sky.
The night in the Cloud Village began to boil.
The Fourth Raikage reflexively threw away his fitness equipment. An ANBU ninja rushed over to report. "Lord Raikage, Lord Killer B seems to have lost control…"
Before his voice fell, the Fourth Raikage rushed out like some kind of humanoid beast.
He didn't go through the main door but smashed a human-shaped hole in the wall and went straight for the Eight-Tails.
Just fighting the Eight-Tails, he was very experienced.
C also reacted quickly, immediately arranging for ninjas to evacuate the civilians. The order had just been issued when he realized that there weren't many civilians in the village now. Except for the necessary ones, most of the civilians had retreated to the mountains to take refuge from a certain someone.
There weren't many civilians in the village, which was a good thing.
The Fourth Raikage didn't need his help. Thinking of the bandaged old man Omoi had mentioned, he immediately ordered him to follow him and led the ANBU to check on the Kohaku no Jōhei.
On the way, he constantly issued orders.
"You few, go find Yugito and have her lead people to keep an eye on those four ninjas from Konoha, especially that Yamanaka Jounin."
"Yes."
"You few, go notify the medical team."
"Yes."
"You, go tell the sealing team to get ready."
"Yes."
Halfway there, the sensory squad came to report that the sealing jutsu on Ginkaku's corpse had been triggered. If there were no accidents, the corpse should have been stolen.
C frowned. The enemy was creating a diversion. Do they want Ginkaku's corpse? Does the opponent have a strange ninjutsu to obtain the treasured tools of the Sage of Six Paths?
Before he could think carefully, the alarm at the Kohaku no Jōhei was also triggered.
"Damn it! Ignore Ginkaku's corpse for now, go to the treasure room first!" He quickly made up his mind.
On the other side.
After returning home, Karui routinely reported her itinerary for the day. What Ino Yamanaka had said, what Shikamaru Nara had said—the family needed to know and analyze their personalities and habits.
The family had no opinion on her choosing the Akimichi family.
Although the family's original target was the Inuzuka family—Kiba Inuzuka had been shouting for days that he wanted to be Hokage, and this had also reached the Cloud Village. They had limited understanding of Konoha's political structure and thought Kiba Inuzuka really had a chance to become Hokage…
Now that Karui had chosen the Akimichi family, they were a little disappointed, but said nothing.
The Ino-Shika-Cho trio had been in alliance for over two hundred years and had a close relationship with the Sarutobi family. Marrying into the Akimichi family meant living a good life. For Karui personally, it was a good choice.
Karui returned to her room and looked through the information.
She had a general idea of the political environment of the Ino-Shika-Cho.
As long as her foot stepped out of the Cloud Village, she would be a member of the Ino-Shika-Cho in the future, and she had to memorize this information.
When she saw the information about the Yamanaka family, she smiled.
She had originally thought that the "Ino" (boar) in the Ino-Shika-Cho referred to the Akimichi family. She never expected that it actually referred to the Yamanaka family.
Thinking of that Ino Yamanaka, who had defeated her in one move, holding the title of a wild boar, she wanted to laugh.
The village was in chaos. When the sound of the commotion reached her ears, this red-haired female ninja immediately put on her headband, slung her long sword over her back, rushed out of the door, and joined the battle.
Hiruko had been around for so many years and was not without accomplishments.
With his title as a Konoha S-rank rogue ninja, he had also recruited a few subordinates.
This time, Danzō had even lent him eight Root ninjas, promising to help him capture the Magnet Release ninja, the Jounin with an epic-sounding name, Toroi, when chaos erupted in the Cloud Village.
Hiruko needed to collect five powerful Kekkei Genkai, then use the Chimera Technique he had developed to integrate them into his own body, allowing him to possess five Kekkei Genkai at the same time. He was truly a model of "I don't have a power-up, I'll make one myself."
