Just then, Ōnoki seemed to sense something. His smile suddenly froze, and he stared intently ahead of the Raikage. Zetsu's expression also changed in an instant.
They saw the space in front of the Raikage begin to change. The tranquil, water-like space started to continuously distort and tear, as if a rag was being endlessly kneaded and shredded.
"This is..." The Raikage's face changed instantly as he looked at the space beginning to transform before him. He seemed to have realized something as well.
A giant fiery ring, burning with black flames, instantly began to shrink as the space twisted and tore, as if being devoured by the distorted space. It completely vanished, leaving only specks of black flames floating in the air, which finally dissipated entirely.
"That ninjutsu is...!!!" Zetsu's face changed instantly. He couldn't help but recall the mysterious masked man he encountered a few years ago in the Hidden Mist Village, the one who controlled the Fourth Mizukage. That fellow not only possessed powerful ocular power to control tailed beasts, but also used spatial ninjutsu.
"It looks so much like that guy's ninjutsu, it's simply identical! The same spatial ninjutsu, has that masked guy come here? No, no..." Zetsu instantly realized the difference and shook his head. Although these two spatial ninjutsu were extremely similar, there were still significant differences. Zetsu would absolutely not mistake them.
Zetsu had a very deep impression of that masked man with the Sharingan. Not only did he possess the extremely rare Mangekyo Sharingan, even in the history of the Uchiha clan, and the powerful ocular power to control tailed beasts, but his eyes also possessed an extremely rare spatial type of Sharingan.
"It's very similar to that masked man's spatial ninjutsu, but the two ninjutsu are definitely not the same type. Who in the world is it!!!!?" Thinking this, Zetsu's face darkened, and a hint of coldness flashed in his crimson Sharingan.
"That's... spatial ninjutsu!!!! How is that possible? Only the Second and Fourth Hokage could perform spatial ninjutsu. How can someone else use spatial ninjutsu, and without any seals or coordinates, moreover, it's such an incredibly profound spatial ninjutsu like space transfer?" Ōnoki's face twitched, looking extremely unsightly.
He had spent so much effort, and was about to kill the Raikage, but unexpectedly, this suddenly appeared, and a powerful enemy also emerged. The shock and rage in Ōnoki's heart were imaginable, but he didn't dare to act rashly now. The opponent's ninjutsu was simply too bizarre.
"Time-space ninjutsu just like the Yellow Flash's!!!!!" The Raikage's face was incomparably shocked, his pupils constricted tightly. However, he secretly let out a sigh of relief in his heart. No one wanted to die, and he was no exception. He just hadn't expected to be able to escape death in such a situation.
"Oh dear, it seems we're not too late." A lazy voice sounded next to the Raikage's ear. The next moment, several figures appeared in front of the Raikage.
The Raikage looked up at the figures in front of him, his face instantly surprised. "You are... Konoha ninja!!!" He saw that the figures in front of him were all wearing green flak jackets, black ninja pants, and Konoha forehead protectors. They were indeed Konoha ninja.
The one leading them was extremely conspicuous. He had a tall stature, a black mask covering the area below his eyes, and extremely rare silver hair. More importantly, his left eye was a crimson Sharingan, but it was slightly different from a normal Sharingan. Three black tomoe were connected to a black dot in the center, forming a bizarre pattern resembling a three-bladed sickle.
"Mangekyo Sharingan!!!!!" The Raikage couldn't help but exclaim. The Mangekyo Sharingan had left an extremely deep impression on him; he wouldn't mistake it. In an instant, he guessed the man's identity: Konoha ninja, silver hair, plus the Sharingan. "You are Konoha's Hatake Kakashi!!!!!" The Raikage spoke coldly.
"Oh, my, my, I didn't expect the great Raikage to recognize me. What an honor. Nice to meet you, please take care of us." Kakashi said with a cheerful smile, and the rest of the people were Asuma, Genma Shiranui, Might Guy, and others.
"Hmph!!!! What are you doing in our Hidden Cloud Village!!!?" The Raikage spoke coldly. He had no goodwill towards Konoha, and coupled with his past defeat at the hands of Konoha's Yellow Flash, it would be strange if he had a good expression.
"It's a good thing we just saved you, Raikage-sama. You don't need to speak to us in that tone." Asuma was instantly a little angry and spoke discontentedly. He hadn't expected the Raikage to be ungrateful, and instead speak coldly to him and his comrades.
...
"Our Hidden Cloud Village doesn't need your Konoha's help!!! You should worry about yourselves. I heard that your village was destroyed by Uchiha Madara not long ago." The Raikage sneered as he spoke.
"You...!!!" Asuma was instantly furious, about to say something, but he was pulled back by Kakashi. "Forget it, Asuma, we're not here to argue." Kakashi shook his head at Asuma.
"Oh, it's Konoha ninja, and that Hatake Kakashi too. What a destined encounter." Kisame's mouth curved into a faint, cruel smile. "Hehe, I didn't expect Konoha to interfere. Now the Hidden Stone and Hidden Sand Villages will have a headache. The Eight-Tails is temporarily safe."
"Alright, Kisame, let's go. The mission is complete." Uchiha Madara slowly stood up and spoke indifferently to Kisame. He had consumed a large amount of chakra and stamina and was very weak, so he didn't want to run into Konoha ninja at this time.
"Got it, but I only got half the bounty. I'll definitely go back and get it from that old Tsuchikage later. Oh, and I'll bring that idiot Hidan along." Kakuzu said discontentedly.
