The Wood Clone performed the Soul Perception Technique. Instantly, the whereabouts of all the Kumo ninja were mapped in his mind, like a radar, full of red dots.
Then, with a flash of golden light, the Wood Clone appeared behind a Kumo ninja. He threw a punch, striking the ninja's cervical spine.
With a sickening crack, the ninja's body suddenly went limp. He fell to the ground with a thud. His eyes darted around frantically. He could not understand why he had ended up like this.
Then, an Anbu appeared and arrested him. Ryun did not wait. He flashed away again.
At the full moon banquet, the Third Raikage suddenly stood up. He smiled at the other Kage beside him. "I am a bit tired. I will go back to sleep now."
The others glanced at him, and that was it. This scene also fell into the eyes of Ryun, who was not far away. His eyes were full of mockery. He knew this Third Raikage, A, could not stand the boredom. He would definitely find an excuse to leave midway.
But, it did not matter. The Wood Clone would teach him a lesson. Ryun continued to rub his daughter's little face.
The Wood Clone tied up a Kumo ninja. Then he looked at the radar in his mind. Only one dot remained now. That dot had the largest chakra amount.
It must be the Young Lord A. His target was the home of that Hyuga couple, the one recorded earlier.
The Wood Clone took a deep breath. He used the Flying Thunder God Technique again. He arrived at Young Lord A's location. He saw Young Lord A transforming into a bolt of lightning. He slammed into the male Hyuga, sending him flying. Then he charged straight towards the female Hyuga.
His rough, dark, large hand gripped the female Hyuga's snow white neck. He could not help but click his tongue. "Why are you following such a useless man? You would be better off following me. I am the son of the Raikage of Kumogakure. I have status. I have strength."
"Spit. You black devil. Scum of Kumogakure. The Hokage will not let you get away with this. I would rather die than let you succeed." The female Hyuga's eyes were resolute. Her words stung Young Lord A. He smiled, wanting to go further.
The Wood Clone appeared silently. Then he clenched his fist, gathering strength. He threw a punch. With a tearing sound followed by a crack, Young Lord A's arm twisted in a strange way.
"Ah." Young Lord A roared in anger. He quickly pulled back to retreat. He looked at his twisted right arm, his face gloomy. Then he formed a Lightning Blade with his own left hand and cut off his own arm. Because this arm was already affecting his combat rhythm.
Next, he attached Lightning Attribute chakra to his left hand. Then he used the lightning to cauterize the stump of his right arm. This could stop the bleeding quickly.
Now, at this moment, a strong enemy was watching. He had no time to retreat. The stump of his right arm was still bleeding. If he did not stop the bleeding, he would soon lose too much blood, become weak, and die.
In this life or death situation, he could only cut off his arm to save himself. Then he looked around fiercely. "Who is it. Come out. What kind of skill is it to attack from behind."
The Wood Clone laughed. His figure appeared. He slowly walked towards Young Lord A. Young Lord A heard the footsteps and looked in that direction. Then his whole body stiffened, his face pale. He rubbed his eyes, looking at the Wood Clone.
He was a bit confused. Shouldn't Ryun be at the full moon banquet. Why did he appear here. He did not dare to open his eyes, hoping it was his illusion.
"Alright, stop rubbing your eyes. It is me. Tsk, tsk. I originally did not want to see blood. You actually cut off your own arm. Really, this makes me angry." Ryun's first half was a bitter smile, the second half was angry.
"Ryun, let us end this here, alright. I did not succeed, and I even lost an arm. I will leave immediately. From now on, Kumogakure and Konoha will stay out of each other's affairs, how about it." Young Lord A said trembling. Since Ryun appeared here, it meant his subordinates had already been dealt with.
That meant their entire operation was under Konoha's control. But, why was that. When the Kumo ninja went out to investigate today, they all said no one was following them. How did they know the details.
Could it be, there was a traitor. No matter how hard he thought, he could not imagine that Nara Luming used the high definition cameras newly developed by Orochimaru to monitor them. They did not need to have ninja follow them at all.
"Hokage sama, you cannot let him go. He not only came for our couple's Byakugan, but also wanted to do improper things to my wife. We beg Hokage sama to uphold justice for us." The man and woman knelt on the ground together.
The woman cried, tears streaming down her face like pear blossoms in the rain. The man was full of anger. The Wood Clone looked at their situation. Finally, he laughed. "Young Lord A, what do you say. Attempting to plunder Konoha's bloodline limit, caught red handed, and also attempting to assault a Konoha woman. This crime is punishable by death."
Young Lord A was sweating profusely. At this moment, he gritted his teeth. Fighting was definitely not an option. Even if his father came, he could not win. Now he could only yield and plead guilty. "Hokage sama, A was momentarily blinded by desire. I hope Hokage sama will forgive me. We are willing to accept all your terms and provide compensation."
The Wood Clone nodded. "Compensation is expected. But before that, I still have some anger to vent." After saying this, the Wood Clone walked towards Young Lord A. He raised his foot and stepped on Young Lord A's head, pressing it into the ground.
"Urgh ah." This kick would only make Young Lord A feel flesh pain. It would not be life threatening. The brick pavement below scraped against the skin of Young Lord A's face. Soon it was a bloody mess.
Young Lord A kept wailing. The Wood Clone remained unmoved. Just at the next moment, a flash of lightning appeared. "Three Finger Nukite." The Third Raikage appeared. He saw his son being stepped on and humiliated by Ryun. In a moment of anger, he forgot where he was.
He directly attacked, preparing to pierce Ryun through. The Wood Clone saw this and glanced at the Third Raikage. Then a golden Susanoo defense rose from the ground, forming a shield.
The Third Raikage's Three Finger Nukite struck it, only causing a momentary ripple before disappearing. The Third Raikage was stunned. He then remembered who was in front of him. Ryun.
The Wood Clone smiled. Then he summoned the Susanoo skeleton to stab towards the Third Raikage. The Third Raikage's pupils constricted. Then his muscles bulged all over his body. He circulated chakra within his muscles for defense.
Do not forget, the Third Raikage, besides his powerful attack being called the Strongest Spear, also had another title, the Strongest Shield. He prepared to directly confront Ryun's Susanoo.
The Wood Clone wanted to see how hard this guy's body really was. As a result, the moment the Susanoo and the Wood Clone made contact, the Third Raikage only lasted thirty seconds. His chest was pierced through.
Puchi. The Third Raikage was now sweating profusely. Even the Nine Tails would probably admire the Third Raikage if it saw this. Using his body to block the Susanoo, he was the first.
The Wood Clone clicked his tongue. "Raikage, I will give you face. Clean up the floor. I do not want to see your dirty blood staining Konoha's floor. As for Young Lord A, that arm of his is the price."
"Better let him control his desires. Otherwise, next time I will cut off his three legs." After saying this, Ryun kicked the Young Lord A beneath his foot towards the Third Raikage.
He had held back just now. He only let the Third Raikage feel the sharpness of the Susanoo, not killing him instantly. The Third Raikage caught Young Lord A, then lowered his head. "I am sorry, Hokage sama. I will clean the bloodstains now."
The Wood Clone nodded. He turned to look at the young Hyuga couple. "You can rest assured. They dare not act recklessly. Now that I have crippled his dirty hand, are you satisfied. If not, I will wipe them all out tomorrow."
The young couple shook their heads. They knew the Hokage had his own plans. Moreover, now Young Lord A had lost an arm, the Third Raikage was heavily injured, and the Hokage intended to let them go. What more could they be dissatisfied with.
The Wood Clone smiled. Then he clapped his hands and created a wooden stool. He sat there, watching the Third Raikage sweep the floor. "Sweep faster. If it is not clean, you cannot leave."
The Wood Clone was humiliating this guy. But the Third Raikage seemed like a different person now. His Strongest Shield body was easily broken. It only held for thirty seconds. Even the Eight Tails could not do that, but Ryun did it easily.
What did he have left to be proud of. Sweep the floor.
And so, the Anbu watched this scene from the rooftops. Their expressions under the masks were somewhat comical. One even took out his phone and posted on his social feed. "Can anyone believe this? The Raikage is bowing to the Hokage sama, sweeping the floor over there."
The next second, his post was wildly liked. The banquet was now becoming normal, becoming ordinary. Everyone had started browsing their phones. Tsunade was too. She looked at her phone and suddenly saw a post going viral.
She opened it, her small mouth slightly agape. She put the phone in front of Ryun. Ryun was holding the baby with both hands, unable to free them, so he had Tsunade hold it for him.
Ryun finished reading and laughed speechlessly. He did not expect bad news to travel fast. Well, it should not be considered bad news, right. After all, it was a matter of Konoha showcasing its strength.
Those present who did not know what happened, as long as there was a Konoha person at the table, they would take out their phones and explain the matter to everyone. Now everyone attending the banquet knew about it.
Even Onoki was there clicking his tongue. "I knew it. Reckless Thunder was definitely here to cause trouble."
"Tsk, tsk. The Third Raikage has really lost face this time. You have to admit, this phone is really useful." Yagura laughed.
"I never thought the Raikage would try to steal Konoha's Byakugan. Really overestimating himself." Chiron shook his head.
And at this moment, the Raikage was still there, diligently sweeping the floor, completely unaware that his actions had already spread throughout Konoha Village. As for the Kumo team, they were now captured and imprisoned by the Wood Clone and the Anbu.
They, in their prison cells, also did not know what had happened to the Raikage.
The banquet became lively. Everyone was discussing how good the Raikage's sweeping skills were. They definitely had to go tomorrow to see how well that floor was swept.
