Chapter 379 Raikage: Watch Me Blitz the Konoha Front
Chapter 379 Raikage: Watch Me Blitz the Konoha Front
Under the cover of night, Might Guy and Neji walked along their patrol route.
Seeing that Neji remained silent, Kai took the initiative to speak.
"Neji, I've seen your performance these past few days. You've already surpassed me as your teacher."
"Teacher Kai, you're joking. I still have a long way to go to catch up with you."
Previously, he really wasn't a fan of this kappa teacher in a bodysuit.
I thought he was just an ordinary Jonin.
However, after witnessing Guy's battle firsthand on the battlefield, Neji's opinion of Guy changed drastically.
Moreover, he also learned about the power of the Eight Gates technique from his senior brother.
"Haha, Neji, you're too modest. Everyone has witnessed your growth. I believe that in the future, you will become a pillar of Konoha."
"The pillar of Konoha...?"
"who!"
Just as Neji was still thinking, Guy suddenly turned around and rushed in one direction.
"Teacher Kai!"
Neji immediately activated his powers and followed.
Before he even got close, Neji saw Guy already fighting with a group of people.
"Those are the people from Kumogakure! Enemy attack! It's an enemy attack! Enemies have sneaked in!"
Without much thought, Neji took out a signal flare from his ninja tool pouch, pulled the pin, and released it into the sky.
"Whoosh! Bang—!"
The signal flare exploded in the air, releasing a dazzling light that could be seen even from a considerable distance.
The sentries in the Konoha camp immediately sounded the alarm upon seeing the light.
"It's a signal flare! Beware of enemy attack!"
"The camp has been attacked!"
"Quickly, assemble the troops and hold off the enemy!"
Immediately, Konoha Jonin stepped forward to assemble a team and quickly head towards the direction from which the signal flare had been launched to provide support.
Neji joined the battle immediately after releasing the signal flare.
This is a small team from Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village). Their mission was to scout ahead, but they unexpectedly ran into Guy and Neji.
Darui, who was leading the scouts, cursed his bad luck.
I never expected that someone would find out.
"Everyone, end the battle quickly and then retreat!"
Seeing that there were only two opponents, Darui immediately ordered a swift and decisive battle, then to eliminate the enemy before the Konoha forces arrived and retreat.
"You despicable bastards, how dare you launch a sneak attack at night! I will not let you succeed, Konoha Whirlwind!"
Kai immediately unleashed a Leaf Whirlwind attack.
He spun around with both feet at high speed and kicked the group of people who had surrounded him, sending them flying.
"Konoha Power Cyclone!"
Having succeeded in his attack, Kai unleashed an astonishing speed as he charged into the crowd, delivering an even more powerful kick.
Seeing him move freely among the crowd, Darui recognized him.
"That guy is Might Guy from Konoha!"
Might Guy's name also spread during this war. Although he didn't know any fancy ninjutsu, his taijutsu alone was enough to make people unable to resist.
At Darui's command, the Cloud Village ninjas around him quickly retreated.
Darui charged forward, wielding his greatsword.
Lightning Release: Gratitude Wave!
He quickly formed hand seals and spat out a rapid stream of water, blocking Might Guy from pursuing the other Cloud Village ninjas. Then, his lightning chakra erupted, and lightning followed the water's flow.
Might Guy quickly leaped and rolled backward, thus avoiding the sudden ninjutsu attack.
"Looks like you're their captain. I'll defeat you first!"
Matt Kai drew nunchucks from his waist.
"Double Fangs!"
Darui felt a gust of wind, and the watermelon-skinned kappa charged towards him like a ferocious beast.
"Lightning Release..."
"Oh dear!"
Darui was about to unleash a ninjutsu when Might Guy kicked him directly.
"when!"
The kick landed on the blade and produced a crisp metallic clang.
The immense force forced Darui to slide backward several meters, and for a moment he felt a sharp pain in the web of his hands.
"Such immense power."
Darui sighed, but he didn't give up.
"Storm Escape: Resilience and Suppression of Harsh Elements!"
While Darui was fighting Might Guy, the other Cloud Village ninja rushed towards Neji.
If I can't do anything to that watermelon rind, can't I at least do something to you, you little idiot?
Neji took a deep breath as he watched the enemy ninja charging towards him.
"Tai Chi Breathing Method: One Form, Two Forms and Four Symbols!"
"Hoo~!"
With a breath of stale air, Neji's entire aura changed.
"Stop pretending, kid!"
One of the ninjas launched the first attack, thrusting a kunai at Neji.
As ninjas from Kumogakure, these people were all skilled in taijutsu, extremely fast, and incredibly powerful.
However, all of their movements appeared extremely slow to Neji. Neji could see all their actions, including the flow of chakra within their bodies and the changes in their aura.
Faced with that wide-ranging attack, Neji stretched out his hand.
Pick, turn, transform, strike!
The four movements were performed in one smooth motion, seamlessly integrated, leaving no room for error.
To others, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
As soon as the man approached Neji, Neji grabbed his wrist, which was holding the kunai, and then turned around, channeling his energy to strike the man's chest with an elbow.
He subdued it with a single blow, without even expending much effort.
"Go together!"
Someone shouted, and a group of people rushed forward.
Neji remained calm and composed, his mind as still as water, undisturbed.
The front line at Hidden Cloud Village.
Lei Yingai and the others, who were just about to set up camp and rest, also saw the signal flare rising in the night sky.
They marched quickly to this area, and their original plan was to send Darui with a team to scout out and find out what was going on in Konoha.
Unexpectedly, not long after Darui left, before their camp was even ready, problems arose on the other side.
"That's... Konoha's signal flare?"
"It looks like Darui and his group have been discovered."
"I don't know if Darui will be able to evacuate safely."
"With Darui's abilities, there shouldn't be any problem..."
While the others were still discussing whether Darui could evacuate safely, Raikage Ai crossed his arms and frowned in deep thought.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly looked up.
"Listen up, everyone! Abandon setting up camp, discard excess supplies, travel light, and follow me to support Darui and launch a blitzkrieg against Konoha!"
The think tank members standing nearby were startled by these words.
"Lord Raikage, isn't this too risky!"
"Shut up! Pass on my orders! Move out immediately! I'm going to crush Konoha completely with the fastest possible action!"
Killer Bee, standing nearby, excitedly started singing and dancing.
"Wow! Big brother's aura is awe-inspiring! This spirit soars to the heavens! He truly deserves to be my brother! He makes my soul feel like it's on fire!"
"Shut up, Killer Bee! Now, let's get started!"
