Kenshi, with Banma Jinza's sisters and mother, walked out of the door. With a thought, he condensed a giant white clay bird. He placed the six women on the bird's back, the clay engulfing their bodies, leaving only their heads exposed for breathing. This made flying easier.
Kenshi controlled Banma Jinza to jump onto the bird.
Boom, boom, boom... The clay bird flapped its wings and soared into the air.
The sound of its giant wings flapping caught the attention of a family living nearby. The man of the house was a Jōnin, with keen perception.
It was unusual to hear that sound at night.
Out of caution, he went to the window and saw the white bird flying over the roof.
"No good, it's someone from the Iwagakure Detonation Squad!"
The man, being a Jōnin, was knowledgeable and instantly recognized the white bird as a jutsu used by Iwagakure's unique Clay Explosion Release ninjas.
"There's an enemy. You go to the basement immediately."
The man quickly told his family to hide. He immediately went to the door, put on his Jōnin vest, slung his katana on his back, and grabbed his ninja tool pouch. He ran out of the door.
The man flew towards the white bird while using his whistle to alert his patrolling comrades that there was an enemy attack. He told them to inform the villagers to evacuate urgently.
"Quick, go inform the Raikage!"
"Genin, evacuate the villagers to the underground fortress. Jōnin and above, follow me!"
Soon, the entire Kumogakure village was bustling. Thanks to regular drills and the current war, everyone in the village knew what to do.
Some evacuated, while others searched for the enemy.
Obviously, they didn't think that only Kenshi was attacking.
"I've been spotted!"
Kenshi's lips curled up into a slight smile. He wasn't surprised that he had been discovered. It was difficult to hide when he was taking people away, and he didn't intend to leave quietly.
Although he couldn't make too much noise now, and he couldn't reveal his identity, he could still vent a little and give Kumogakure a lesson.
"There!"
"The enemy is there!"
As the white bird flew higher, giant searchlights lit up on the mountaintops of Kumogakure village. Kenshi was quickly discovered. Seven or eight searchlight beams were locked on the white clay bird.
Whizz, whizz, whizz... Lightning Release chakra-infused arrows were shot from various mountaintops, aimed directly at the white bird under Kenshi's feet.
They knew the weakness of Clay Explosion Release.
They also had corresponding methods to deal with aerial threats.
Kenshi sensed that the crossbow launchers on the mountaintops were different from cold weapon crossbows. They had different power sources. They were like cannons firing shells, driven by electricity and chakra.
The arrows not only had Lightning Release chakra lightning, but they were also significantly faster than normal arrows, and their power was also amazing.
As expected, Kumogakure was the first village in the ninja world to take the path of technological jutsu. They had already developed technological crossbow launchers. Their power was indeed impressive.
But... it was only impressive.
"Wind Release - Wind Barrier."
Kenshi activated his mind, controlling Wind Release chakra to condense a half-meter-thick wall of fast-moving wind around the bird.
Wind counters Lightning!
The giant crossbow arrows with flashing lightning hit the fast-moving wind wall like nails hitting a rapidly rotating drill. They were instantly deflected, and the Lightning Release chakra on them was blown away by the strong wind, failing to attack the clay bird.
Kenshi continued to fly upwards. Zeng, zeng, zeng... Kumogakure ninjas relentlessly and frantically fired arrows at him.
"Raikage-sama, the Iwagakure Detonation Squad is attacking."
At the gate of the Third Raikage's mansion, the Anbu ninja who came to report had just arrived when the Third Raikage walked out from inside, already wearing his battle attire.
"How many enemies are there?"
The Third Raikage asked as he walked.
"Currently, only one enemy has been detected." The Anbu ninja replied.
Because it was night, the Kumogakure ninjas didn't know that the person on the white bird was Banma Jinza, controlled by Kenshi's spirit body. They only judged the enemy to be from the Iwagakure Detonation Squad based on the clay bird.
"One?"
The Third Raikage frowned. He didn't believe that the enemy would go through the trouble of breaking into the Kumogakure village's headquarters with only one person.
"Inform the Daruma family and expand the search area." The Third Raikage said.
"Yes." The Anbu ninja immediately went to make arrangements.
"You guys go too. Leave that bastard above to me." After telling the people behind him, the Third Raikage instantly activated his Lightning Release chakra mode with wings and flew into the air, heading straight for the clay bird.
As he flew into the sky, a hint of doubt flashed in the Third Raikage's eyes.
Didn't that Ōnoki guy know that he could fly, and that he was even faster than him?
With him guarding the village, they still dared to send an aerial force to attack!
Did they really think that breaking his arm would make him disappear?
"No matter who you are, I will definitely twist your head off. You dare to attack the village?"
The Third Raikage was furious. The enemy attacked the village directly. This was a provocation against him, and they had succeeded.
They actually let the enemy attack them.
This was the first time, the first time someone from another ninja village had attacked them.
They were also the first of the Five Great Shinobi Villages to be attacked by an enemy.
This was a disgrace.
No matter who it was, he would make sure they didn't return.
"It's the Raikage!"
"It's the Boss!"
"The Boss is here."
"That arrogant bastard is going to die!"
The Third Raikage, like a bolt of lightning, streaked across the mountains, flying towards Kenshi in the sky. Along the way, the Kumogakure ninjas he saw were filled with confidence.
The Third Raikage, who could single-handedly beat the Eight-Tails until it couldn't move, had a high prestige among the Kumogakure ninjas. He was considered invincible.
As long as he took action, any enemy would be defeated.
The ninjas of Kumogakure village firmly believed that.
Kenshi had long since sensed the arrival of the Third Raikage and the terrifying Lightning Release chakra mode on him.
It has to be said that without revealing his identity, using only conventional jutsu, it would be very difficult for Kenshi to repel the Third Raikage, not to mention defeating him.
But this was Kumogakure village. His goal wasn't to kill the Third Raikage right now.
As for revenge, Kenshi had always adhered to the principle of making them worse than death.
So, he wouldn't easily kill the Third Raikage.
With a thought, Kenshi condensed a giant clay sphere with a diameter of ten meters above his head.
"So big!"
The Third Raikage, who saw it from afar, shuddered. If that much clay exploded, the power would definitely be great.
Thankfully, the enemy was flying in the air. He wouldn't give the enemy the opportunity to throw such a huge clay bomb into the village.
The Third Raikage's body was flashing with black lightning. He was ready to attack.
But would Kenshi be that stupid?
Of course not.
Before the Third Raikage entered the range of his long-range black lightning attack, the giant clay sphere, like a huge sprinkler, instantly sprayed out countless white clay birds with two pairs of wings. They flew out like rain, heading towards all parts of Kumogakure village. A large part of the birds flew towards the location of the Third Raikage's family residence.
Should he continue to chase Kenshi, or turn back to rescue more villagers?
The Third Raikage was caught in a dilemma.
The white birds with two pairs of wings flew fast and were numerous, at least 100,000. They were scattered and landed, making it impossible to stop them all.
In the entire Kumogakure village, only the Third Raikage could rely on his absolute speed to stop most of them, at least the clay birds flying towards the densely populated central area.
"Damn it!"
The Third Raikage glared at the white bird in the distance, then immediately turned around and flew back. He turned into a bolt of lightning in the sky, using long-range black lightning attacks to intercept the bird bombs.
The Third Raikage had no choice. His son wasn't in the village. The only one who could protect the village was him, the Kage.
He couldn't abandon the lives of the villagers to chase the enemy.
