Samui has a calm personality and indifferent expression on her face all the time, hence she is called cool beauty in Kumogakure.

Moreover, she is not the kind of person with big boobs and no brains, she had just turned eighteen years old and was promoted to special jōnin, with quite good strength.

Despite her stoic, taciturn, and distanced appearance, Samui is actually a warm-hearted person who holds friends and teammates dear and is willing to do whatever it takes to keep them safe.

Therefore, when Samui ran away with her younger brother on her back, she had already thought about it. When she brings Atsui to a safe place, she would return to Kumogakure to rescue her teammates and fight with them to the end.

'Whoosh.'

She quickened her pace and jumped between the buildings and roofs of Kumogakure. With her familiarity with the village's streets and house layout, she avoided many enemies along the way and quickly escaped outside the village.

After escaping a distance to the southwest, Samui came to the halfway of a mountain following an abandoned path deep into the dense woods, and at the end is a long-destroyed shrine.

The walls of the shrine have collapsed, the roof is broken, and the yard is overgrown with weeds. No one has visited it for many years.

"Ho, ho..."

Samui panted slightly, her shoulder-length pale blond hair was wet with sweat, and translucent beads of sweat slid down the tip of her nose and dripped onto the grass.

She has large breasts, a trait that makes her always easy to attract men's attention and make them courteous to her. But at the same time, this gift from God also caused a lot of burden on Samui, often making her shoulders sore.

In addition, she is carrying Atsui on her back at this time, which was equivalent to carrying an extra weight at the same time, so after finally escaping here, she had consumed a lot of physical strength and had to rest.

Thinking of this, Samui looked around for a while, and found that this place is very hidden and suitable as a temporary hiding place.

At this moment.

"They're right ahead, don't let that woman run away!"

Behind the two siblings, the voice of a Kumo Ninja suddenly rang. Samui's pupils shrank, and when she looked back, she saw that there were many people in the woods, around seven or eight figures that were catching up quickly.

'I still can't get rid of them.'

Samui's heart sank, and there was nowhere to run now. In order to avoid being surrounded by the enemy, she could only rush into the main hall of the shrine with Atsui in tow, she is trying to use the complex and narrow space in the hall to deal with the enemy, as there will still be a glimmer of hope of victory.

As soon as she entered the hall, Samui saw a statue of Lightning God with red skin, straight blond hair, a strong and burly body, and a ferocious and terrifying face.

Behind the statue of the God, there are also eight spheres with a jade pattern, forming a circle, emitting a faint golden light.

The statue was lifelike and gave the impression of a real person, so Samui froze for a moment and took a few more glances.

'Dong dong!'

For some unknown reason, the moment she looked at the statue, she felt an inexplicable palpitation in her heart, her scalp became numb, her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and her heart almost stopped.

An invisible pressure fell on Samui, making her unable to move, and the blood in her body almost solidified.

'Do not look directly at God.'

This thought suddenly popped into Samui's mind.

'But... that's obviously just a statue, why is it emitting such pressure?'

Samui was startled and looked at the statue again. The feeling of danger suddenly disappeared, and the pressure that enveloped her was also swept away, as if it was just an illusion and never existed.

'What's happening? What's going on?'

Just when she was in a trance, the voice of the enemy suddenly came into her ears, making her come back to her senses.

"I found them, they are in the hall of the abandoned shrine ahead!"

With a shout, nearly ten enemies appeared in the corridor outside the hall.

With a "Boom", an enemy, who accidentally stepped on the trap left by Samui, detonated the explosion tag, and was seriously injured on the spot. But this did not stop the enemy's footsteps. They approached the main hall step by step from the outside of the courtyard.

Samui's face changed. She, who has always been calm and cool, inevitably became flustered in this desperate situation.

She quickly swept her gaze to every corner of the hall, trying to find a place where she could temporarily place her younger brother Atsui, but as a result, her gaze returned to the statue directly in front of her.

Although this statue looks ferocious and terrifying at first glance, after looking at it for a long time, Samui has an inexplicable sense of security.

Before she could think about it, she carefully placed her brother at the foot of the statue, then turned around and pulled out a sharp short knife from the ninja pouch at her waist.

She has to fight to the death.

"Samui, surrender, we promise we won't hurt you."

Seeing that Samui took out a short knife and wanted to resist, all the ninjas showed disapproving smiles, and the dark bald man in the lead even had bright eyes, and said to Samui, "It would be a shame to kill a woman like you, hehehe."

Obviously, these men have some impure thoughts about Samui, the cool beauty.

"Humph."

Samui snorted coldly and responded with a blank face: "Today either I die or you die, there is no third ending."

Before she finished speaking, she took the initiative to attack, and rushed into the enemy's siege, holding a red short knife to the left and right.

'Sizzle.'

Samui made a seal with one hand and attached a layer of lightning Chakra to the blade, which not only made the blade sharper, but also extended the attack distance of the blade.

Her ferocious attack quickly achieved good results. She slashed three enemies one after another, causing them to scream, covering the bleeding wound and retreating in horror.

"As expected of Samui, but if you want to kill us, this level of attack is not enough."

The dark-haired sturdy man sneered, and with a loud roar, he rushed towards Samui, and a blue lightning chakra poured out from his body, forming a strong defensive armor coat, which made him not afraid of Samui's blade.

'Boom!'

After several fierce clashes between the two sides, Samui was finally defeated in terms of strength. And she herself was also knocked flying by the dark bald man, and smashed heavily on the statue of God in the center of the hall.

"Pfft!" Samui fell down after colliding with the statue. Se knelt down on one knee and barely stabilized her body, but immediately spit out a large mouthful of blood, staining the ground in front of her red.

Her face was pale, and she was already at the end of the flight, and she had no strength to fight back.

"Hahaha, Samui, you belong to me now."

The bald-headed man laughed and walked towards Samui impatiently, extending a large hand towards the latter.

Samui lowered her head with her eyes narrowed. She knew what would be waiting for her if it fell into the hands of the other party. Rather than living in humiliation and torture, it was better to die.

Therefore, without hesitation, she took out a kunai and swiped it against her snow-white neck.

"Damn!" Seeing this, the man cursed angrily and rushed forward to stop Samui from committing suicide.

At this critical moment—

"Boom!'

A powerful energy suddenly erupted from the statue behind Samui, forming a golden circular shock wave that swept the entire hall.

Oddly enough, Samui and her younger brother Atsui, who were the closest to the statue and should have been the first to bear the brunt, but they didn't suffer any harm to them.

However, the dark bald man and the others were not so lucky.

'Bang bang bang!'

Before they could react, they saw a strong golden light coming towards them, and the next second they were hit hard, pushed into the yard by the shock wave, and fell to the ground crying in pain.

'What happened?'

Seeing the enemy flying out, Samui looked back in astonishment, only to see the statue of God radiating golden light, as if it was about to come alive.

Could it be that this statue is actually a Chakra puppet with some kind of mechanism inside, and when she collided with it just now, she accidentally activated the mechanism, so she woke it up?

Samui guessed suspiciously.

However, what happened next exceeded her expectations.

'Bang.'

As the statue "awakened", a dull sound of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky above the shrine. Then, under the terrified eyes of Samui and the enemy, a golden thundercloud appeared above their heads.

The thundercloud was not large, only a few meters in diameter, and floated quietly in the air more than ten meters above the ground. However, rumbling sounds were constantly heard in the thundercloud, and golden electric lights could be seen wandering in it, like golden snakes, exuding a majestic and terrifying aura.

The appearance of thunderclouds seems to warn everyone that the shrine is the habitation of the God, and it is not allowed to make loud noises, let alone kill.

If the God's sleep is disturbed, the consequences will be disastrous.

However, the Kumo ninjas who have already learned the lesson are still very hard-headed, and they don't seem to believe in this God.

"Who's pretending to be a God? Get out!"

The bald man looked around the yard while watching out for thunderclouds and shouted. In his opinion, it must be Samui's accomplices who came to support her, they hid in secret and performed ninjutsu, trying to scare them away in this way.

Unfortunately, this is not the case.

'Craaackkk!'

Just as the bald man was busy shouting, a golden lightning bolt suddenly fell from the thundercloud, penetrating the sky and the earth. The dazzling electric light filled the whole yard, Samui quickly covered her eyes with her hands and closed her eyes subconsciously.

After a while, the dust settled.

Samui slowly opened his eyes, and it took a while for her to regain her sight. When she looked into the yard again, she was surprised.

In the courtyard, after being struck by lightning from the sky, the ground turned black, and all the weeds burned to ashes.

And the Kumo ninjas who chased Samui naturally couldn't escape this disaster. The only survivor was a swarthy, bald man whose lightning chakra armor saved his life, but it also shattered after being struck by lightning.

After escaping from death, he looked terrified and had no more thoughts about Samui, so he fled without saying a word.

He just want to get out of this weird place as soon as possible.

However, those who offend the God are destined to pay the price.

'Zizizi!'

A piercing sound of electric current came from behind Samui, and she quickly turned her head to look, only to see the statue holding his right hand high. At this moment, countless golden lightning gathered in the palm of his right hand, and finally formed a dazzling spear.

'Swiishh!'

Under Samui's incredible gaze, the statue came to life completely, and threw the lightning spear in his hand, that instantly crossing a distance of dozens of meters, and piercing the body of the dark bald man on the spot.

He was burnt to ashes and died without leaving a corpse.

Then, the gaze of the statue fell on Samui, causing her to tighten her body instantly, becoming extremely nervous.

Just when Samui thought she was going to follow in the footsteps of the bald man and others, the statue suddenly spoke.

"I am the God of Lightning and Thunder, a being born from the gathering of countless thunder and lightning in the sky of the Land of Lightning, and has guarded this country for thousands of years. Mortals, you have always been blessed by me, why should you stop worshiping me and let this shrine be deserted? Answer me!"

The God looked directly at Samui with scorching eyes and his voice echoed in the hall like thunder.

At this moment Samui's younger brother Atsui, who had just woke up, was frightened by the image and voice of the God, and fell unconscious again.

"…cool."

Samui stayed where she was, and only spit out this word from her mouth after a long time. Perhaps what happened in front of her was beyond her cognition, so she didn't know how to respond, so she could only subconsciously say her usual catchphrase.

But then again, this Lightning God is really cool.

"What did you say?" The God frowned, appearing more solemn and serious.

Samui finally came back to her senses, her body trembled, she quickly knelt down on one knee, lowered her head and said: "Kami-sama, I am Samui, a ninja from Kumogakure. In recent years, the village was plunged into civil strife, and every day villagers bleed and died in battle. The shrine was abandoned and left unattended and repaired. Just now, my brother and I were chased by the enemy and fled all the way here. If it wasn't for your help, we would have already died at the hands of the enemy."

She was born smart, and she made up such a speech on the spot, perfectly answering the God's question.

Samui didn't dare to look directly at God's eyes, so she could only look down at the floor, holding her breath, nervously waiting for God's response. Now, she can only hope that the other party believes what she said, instead of killing her with lightning in a rage.

However, young Samui did not know that the words that came out of her mouth were exactly what the God wanted her to say.

Because the so-called God is actually not a being born from thunder and lightning at all, it's Hoshigaki Kisame in disguise.

Ten minutes ago.

Kisame predicted Samui's escape route and came to this shrine in advance. He originally planned to save Samui here, ask her about the situation in Kumogakure, and then go back and kill the Gold and Silver brothers directly.

After that, he will use Samui and her companions to indirectly control Kumogakure.

However, when Kisame accidentally glanced at the statue of God in the hall, a brilliant idea emerged from his mind.

What happened after that was that Kisame used a series of wonderful performances to convince Samui in front of him that he was the God of thunder and lightning, and the guardian God of the Land of Lightning.
