The Third Raikage's Apperance!

BOOM!!!

While Aoba was sleeping, he immediately heard a loud sound coming from the direction of Konohagakure's main entrance, directly startling him from his sleep.

"ENEMY ATTACK!!!"

Aoba immediately heard the shouts from the outside. These sounds were especially loud in the Anbu dormitory, causing everyone to wake up in a flash.

No one knew what had happened.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

At this time, there was an urgent knock on Aoba's room door as if it was going to break his door.

"Don't sleep anymore. Kumogakure has sent ninjas to attack Konohagakure. Now, all of you, go to the battlefield!"

A loud and clear voice came from outside. After saying this, he did not wait for any response from Aoba. He immediately knocked on the others' door and shouted.

"???"

When Aoba heard this sentence, a lot of small question marks appeared in his head.

"What's going on?"

"Kumogakure ninjas?"

"What's going on?"

Aoba suddenly became the person who did not understand the situation. He lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling, completely dumbfounded.

Logically speaking, Kumogakure shouldn't have attacked Konohagakure at this time!

But judging from this level of commotion… This wasn't a simple sneak attack. It was more like a premeditated attack. Moreover, the other side seemed to have quite a few people, not as exaggerated as just a few ninja teams.

After all, not long ago. Sunagakure ninjas had just invaded Konohagakure. At that time, the commotion caused to the village was not as exaggerated as it was now, and of course, it was not that loud.

Suddenly, Aoba immediately made a series of hand seals, controlling the chakra in his body, and used Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique).

Bang!

Aoba's body trembled slightly. A person who looked exactly like him appeared in front of him. It was his shadow clone.

"You take my place and follow everyone. I will go and see what exactly happened."

Aoba gave a simple order to the shadow clone. After he finished speaking, he immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), and his figure disappeared in a flash.

Almost in an instant, Aoba came out of the tower in the forest and directly controlled the chakra in his body to quickly recall those shadow clones who were checking memories.

Bang bang bang bang...

Along with a series of explosion sounds, these shadow clones were instantly removed and returned to Aoba's body one after another.

Hum!

In an instant, Aoba's brain suddenly trembled. These shadow clones had been working here for a long time. They transmitted the details they had just read into Aoba's mind.

For a moment, Aoba only felt that his brain had received an extremely powerful information attack.

He was completely stunned.

Two to three seconds later only then did Aoba recover from this stun state. At this time, he had already put these shadow clones back into his body and had already recovered to a relatively perfect state.

Crash crash...

Aoba's body turned into pieces of paper.

These flying pieces of paper began to reassemble as if they were reconstructing a body and stacking them into other shapes.

Almost in an instant, Aoba turned into Satsuma Rentaro.

Swish!

Aoba immediately communicated with the Flying Thunder God Formula above the Hokage Rock, and his figure disappeared.

"This..."

Aoba stood on the top of Hokage Rock and looked down at the scene below. He could immediately see the flames of war spreading. Several places were burning, and the silent night was particularly bright.

Many of Konohagakure's outer walls were damaged, and many houses collapsed. Just by standing on the Hokage Rock and looking at it roughly, one could see the tragedy of the war here.

"Damn it!"

Aoba's eyes flashed with anger. He instantly recognized the people who attacked were Kumogakure ninjas. They actually launched a sneak attack on Konohagakure overnight.

This was something he had never thought of.

According to the current situation. Kumogakure was in the state of being surrounded by enemies. Konohagakure was still holding the key that could solve Kumogakure's predicament - Hari.

This situation...

Kumogakure should not have attacked Konohagakure first when they attacked any village!

What kind of stupid decision was this?

Aoba narrowed his eyes slightly. For the Third Ninja World War, the thing he was most worried about was the spread of the flames of war to Konohagakure.

He had done so many things before, and the entire Ninja World had been stirred into a mess. Obviously, the battlefield should not appear in Konohagakure!

Then, a strong sense of confusion appeared in Aoba's mind. He didn't understand many things. This was very different from what he had expected.

His face turned ugly.

However, at this time, a flash of lightning cut through the darkness of Konohagakure, and an extremely strong figure like a tank rushed directly to the Hokage Building.

Whether it was strength, speed, or defense, it could be said to be at the peak of a ninja's strength.

This figure was the Third Raikage Ay.

In front of Konohagakure's people, a scene of lightning shattering the darkness appeared. As Ay rushed over, he directly knocked away all the Konohagakure ninjas blocking his path.

His entire body exuded a terrifying power.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Following the arrival of Third Raikage Ay, many figures appear behind him and directly surround Ay.

These figures were all Konohagakure ninjas.

Among them were Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Konohagakure's Root Boss Shimura Danzo, and Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo.

These ninjas could be said to be Konohagakure's strongest fighting force. Of course, Orochimaru was not included in this.

"This is Kumogakure's Third Raikage. When I went to Kumogakure to do a mission, I had a simple fight with him. The other party's physical fitness is extremely strong. Whether it is speed, strength, or the ability to resist attacks, I have never seen others comparable to him in my life, coupled with the opponent's superb lightning ninjutsu. A top-notch wind release user is needed to deal with it." Hatake Sakumo immediately whispered and reported the information about the Third Raikage to everyone.

"That wind release user should be me!" Danzo stared coldly at the Third Raikage, who was not far away. His face was very cold. He could allow himself to play hard inside Konohagakure, but he could not accept other people coming to attack it.

"I also know a little bit of wind release. Let's deal with him together!" Hiruzen said with a calm face. He also knew the horror of Ay, so his reaction was not too big. In addition, the enemy was invading Konohagakure now. This was a war, not a one-on-one battle.

"Let's deal with him together!" Hatake Sakumo nodded.

All of a sudden, these Konohagakure ninjas were talking openly about Ay openly in front of him.

Only...

Ay did not care about this at all.

He stood in the middle of everyone's encirclement with his head held high. Not only did he not have terrified emotions on his face, but instead, he revealed an excited smile.

"It has been a long time since I had a carefree fight!"

Ay swept his gaze over these Konohagakure ninjas, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit. What he liked the most was fighting, not sitting at the table to negotiate with others.

"I can't let a person like you destroy Konohagakure!"

Danzo suddenly roared. At this time, he was very clear that this was the most difficult time for Konohagakure. The strong ninjas on the other side had already broken into Konohagakure's interior.

In a split second, Danzo began to form hand seals with both hands. The speed of his hand seals was very fast. Judging by the bandaged hand, he hadn't acquired the very disgusting-looking Sharingan arm in the future.

"Futon: Shinkugyoku(Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere)!"

Danzo was the first to attack and began to spray out one blast wave after another at the Third Raikage in front of him. After all, Sakumo had already said that by only using wind release, they could have a chance to fight back with this Third Raikage in front of him.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Air currents rushed toward Third Raikage's body. The speed of these air currents was extremely fast, like bullets.

At this time, Ay's body was covered with lightning. His body was directly covered with a layer of Raiton Chakura Mōdo(Lightning Release Chakra Mode). Then, his figure flashed and dodged Danzo's wind release attack at an extremely fast speed.

"He actually dodged it!"

When Danzo saw this scene, his left eye flashed with a touch of surprise. He was very clear about how fast the air current he spat out just now was, but it did not even touch Ay's body.

"Let's attack together!"

Hiruzen looked in Danzo's direction. He was very clear that now was not the time to be arrogant. If they could attack together, then they should attack together. They had to deal with this Raikage first. Otherwise, things would become more and more troublesome.

...

Aoba stood above the Hokage Rock while looking down at the battle below.

Hiruzen, Danzo, and the other ninjas all quickly formed hand seals and attacked the Raikage with wind release ninjutsu.

However, those wind release ninjutsu that was as fast as wind were like a slow-moving snail in front of Ay. They simply couldn't cause any danger to the latter and were completely dodged by him.

This scene continued for a few minutes. Ay hadn't even attacked yet. He just dodged all the attacks of Konohagakure ninjas.

There was no way to match his speed at all, and there was no way to cause any substantial damage to him in such a situation.

Apart from Ay, there was an all-out war going on in Konohagakure.

One by one, the Konohagakure ninjas were fighting against the Kumogakure ninjas that had intruded.

The scene was very chaotic.

"Phew..."

Aoba took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He had already guessed that a war would be like this, but seeing this with his own eyes still made him feel very uncomfortable.

This was not the scene he wanted to see at all. It was not something he wanted to happen to Konohagakure.

He had done so much. However, he did not expect that it would still attract the Third Raikage.

Now things were not so easy to deal with...

Aoba's gaze once again fell on the Third Raikage. When he was watching the anime, his impression of this Raikage was completely focused on the Third Raikage that had been resurrected using Edo Tensei.

It had to be said...

This guy was really strong!

Even for Naruto to defeat this Third Raikage was a very difficult matter. In the end, he could only use the Third Raikage method to attack himself.

But...

The current Third Raikage was not in the same state. This was completely his own body. Now, he was able to control his body very well. He wouldn't be slow, and his body was even younger now.

"I have to think of a way..."

Aoba knew that if this continued, then not only would Hiruzen and Danzo be in danger, but the entire Konohagakure would be in danger.

This was something he had never thought of in his plan. The Third Raikage actually came straight over!

"Attack yourself..."

"I got it!"

"I have an idea!"

Aoba's eyes suddenly lit up. The method he thought of was to attack himself. Not long ago, he had told the Country of Water merchants about this kind of thing.

However, he could not wait for Kirigakure to make a move. Aoba quickly made a series of hand seals. He directly used Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique).

In an instant, he created five shadow clones.

One of the shadow clones maintained Satsuma Rentaro's appearance and directly sat on top of the head of the Hokage Rock. His eyes focused on the village below, staring at what happened to Konohagakure.

The other four shadow clones transformed into Kirigakure's ninjas, but each of them wore a mask on their face, looking like Kirigakure's Anbu.

"Go to the village and fight for a while. Do your best to hurt Kumogakure ninjas, but don't let Konohagakure ninjas think that you are helping them. You have to act like a third party!" Aoba said to the four shadow clones that had transformed into Kirigakure Anbu.

"Yes!" The four shadow clones nodded in unison.

"Don't play for too long. Come over later and cooperate with me to put on a good show." Aoba's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Yes!"

The four shadow clones responded at the same time. After that, they used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and disappeared immediately. They used different techniques and quickly joined the battle.

As these shadow clones left one after another. The pieces of paper on Aoba's body changed again and directly transformed into the appearance of Kumogakure ninja Gasshi.

Swish!

Aoba also used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique). His figure flashed and directly appeared at the Root Base.

Just after entering the Root Base. Aoba directly controlled his body's perception ability to directly cover the Root Base so that he could clearly sense the Root ninjas' specific position.

"En?"

After Aoba covered the Root Base with his perception ability, he immediately discovered a very special phenomenon.

There was a lot of chakra in Root, and the energy of each chakra was very full. There was no intention of fighting at all.

Good fellow!

This was the same as Konoha Crush and Pain's Assault. Even if this Konohagakure were destroyed, none of the ninjas in Root Base would move.

If this was said in Danzo's words, it was to preserve the power of Root, leaving a possibility for Konohagakure in the future.

Too ruthless!

Aoba felt that Danzo was really ruthless!

After realizing this, he did not think Danzo would let these Root members go out to fight.

For Danzo to stand outside at this time. It could only be said as an accident.

Whether it was when Hiruzen died or when Konohagakure was directly level down, Danzo and his Roots had never appeared. They were hiding in the underground Root Base, quietly waiting for the incident to pass.

In fact, things were just as Aoba had thought. It was just that this time, Kumogakure's intruder had arrived late at night.

Normally speaking, Danzo would be at the root at this time. If something happened, he would not come out, and he would not help.

Now it could be said to be an accident. An accident that even Danzo did not expect.

Tonight.

Danzo did not return to Root Base, and Hiruzen also did not return to his home. The two of them had already agreed to do some secret things in the Hokage Office.

That was the black book in Danzo's hand!

The Teacher Bai of the Ninja School story!

After Danzo got this book, he couldn't help but want to share the feelings in his heart. Finally, he contacted Hiruzen, who was his best friend.

After the two made an agreement, they decided to read the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School in the Hokage Office all night.

When Kumogakure ninjas invaded, Danzo and Hiruzen just happened to be in the mood. Both of them were particularly excited and immersed in the story of Teacher Bai in the Ninja School.

Then Kumogakure ninja attack came too suddenly. It was to the point that Danzo and Hiruzen were not prepared. Moreover, there was also a very unpleasant feeling of being interrupted.

Danzo had no way to turn around and hide in front of everyone. After the enemy invaders came to Konohagakure, he had to bite the bullet and block them.

This formed the scene of Danzo and everyone attacking the Third Raikage together.

"Since I have seen these idle Root ninjas, then let me give everyone an order!"

The pieces of paper on Aoba's body flew up and changed again. This time, he directly became Shimura Danzo's right-hand man, Orochimaru.

Now at this time node. Although Orochimaru was one of the Konoha Sannin, he was also a member of Root.

The next moment, Aoba walked out with Orochimaru's appearance and shouted at the Root ninjas.

"Danzo-sama's order, don't just stand here, now all of you go to the village to kill the enemy!"

Aoba immediately shouted at the crowd. He had seen Orochimaru countless times, and he was very familiar with Orochimaru's tones and actions. The entire process was imitated perfectly.

"Yes!"

When Root ninjas saw Orochimaru(Aoba), they immediately felt that it was Danzo who asked Orochimaru to pass the message. They immediately responded and walked out.

Everyone at Root knew Orochimaru. Although he rarely came to Root Base, Orochimaru had a very high status in Root and could be said to be second only to Danzo.

Now, Orochimaru had issued an order. No one dared to refuse.

All of a sudden, These Root ninjas who were hiding underground all started to move and ran toward the exit, ready to join Konohagakure's battlefield.
