Crossover Anime: Plundering the Heavens and Building a Dimensional Empire

Page 59

Nara Shikaku was equally shocked and surprised, but the benefits it brought were also enormous. At the very least, Kumogakure would have to keep a low profile for a very, very long time.

Because the losses this time were truly devastating.

Not only did Kumogakure lack a leader, but more importantly, it suffered severe losses of high-level combat power. The loss of Jonin and Chunin was undoubtedly the highest among the Five Great Nations. Moreover, they lost two Raikage, one of whom was a newly appointed young powerhouse and the future absolute ruler of Kumogakure, dying on the battlefield. This loss, this blow, was absolutely fatal.

Chapter 67 already includes us, aren't you satisfied?

"No war, that would be wonderful."

Minato Namikaze genuinely hoped for a peaceful ninja world, so that Kumogakure wouldn't be able to wage war. That would definitely be a good thing, something he truly wanted to see, and not just for Kumogakure, but for all the other villages as well.

"This is not something we can decide."

"On this matter," Nara Shikaku said slowly.

Can we decide?

I can't decide, I'm unable to decide.

War is not something Konoha can decide. If other major powers want to fight, we have no choice but to fight back.

Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza remained silent. They did not participate. Some things were not suitable for speaking up. It was better to let Shikaku do it. When it came to brains, he was the best.

We're not so good at it.

The battlefield cleanup went smoothly, but the problem was that Tsunade, Hakuba, and the others hadn't made any moves since they returned, seemingly to rest. However, everyone was a little worried, fearing that they might take action again.

Thinking of this, Minato Namikaze asked directly, "What's Tsunade-sama's condition right now?"

"Lady Tsunade, what's wrong with her..."

Nara Shikaku, upon hearing this, was about to reply.

But unexpectedly, a ninja rushed in, shouting something bad.

"Lord Shikaku, something terrible has happened!"

broken!

Nara Shikaku's expression changed slightly.

Minato Namikaze frowned, sensing a sense of unease. Could something have gone wrong again?

"Lady Tsunade has set off with her men, saying she's there to deal with the attacked stronghold and track down the Cloud Village. They've already left."

"what's the situation?"

Nara Shikaku hurriedly asked, "What base?"

The ninja in the green vest quickly replied, "It's our rear outpost, one of the supply transport points. We just received news that it was attacked. It should be a raiding squad from Kumogakure. They don't know about Kumogakure's crushing defeat yet, so they're continuing their mission. It's suspected that the Two-Tails Jinchuriki is leading the team."

All the necessary information is available.

Two-Tails Jinchuriki?

The people in the Hidden Cloud Village have gone mad.

Nara Shikaku quickly analyzed the situation and realized that it was the Cloud Village team that had lost contact. Just like the intelligence sent back, it was most likely the missing assault team.

Of course, if that's the case, wouldn't it be... for Lady Tsunade to intervene?

"Minato, I'd like to trouble you to make this trip. The Two-Tails can't be harmed. The Raikage is dead, and now even the Tailed Beasts are in trouble. I'm afraid the Hidden Cloud Village will go completely mad."

Nara Shikaku quickly made a judgment, hoping that Namikaze Minato could make a trip, at least to stop Tsunade, Hakumaki and others from taking radical actions.

In any case, we can't lose Two-Tails. It would be best if we could capture it, preferably alive, so that we can get leverage in negotiations.

The Hidden Cloud Village will definitely want to cease hostilities. If even the Tailed Beasts fall into our hands, then the advantage in negotiations will be entirely in the hands of Konoha.

"it is good!"

Minato Namikaze didn't dare to delay and immediately got up and left the tent, hurrying towards his destination.

……

Meanwhile, Tsunade and Hakuba had already arrived at the scene.

A bloody smell permeated the air. Although it had been treated, the smell did not dissipate quickly, which meant that the stronghold had been captured and all the Konoha ninja stationed there had been killed.

Standing outside the base, Hakumu, Tsunade, Esdeath, and Alice Lisse were all there; they had discovered the hidden Cloud Ninja.

They didn't leave; instead, they hid inside.

There are quite a few people, at least seven or eight, and the number is still increasing...

Bai Mu's eyes narrowed as he made a discovery. It was that female ninja named Samui. Was she actually here? It seemed she was here for the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.

But it's already late.

"There were eleven people, then four more arrived, so there should have been seven originally. Among those four was a high-ranking member of Kumogakure, a female Jonin named Samui..."

Bai Mu quickly went through it, briefly explained the situation, and finally added, "His status is not low!"

"A female ninja?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by Bai Mu's knowledge, and immediately asked, "No, how do you know so much?"

“She must be a beautiful woman,” Esdeath said with a half-smile. She knew exactly what this meant, so she was definitely going to tease her a little.

“It’s not just ‘should,’ it’s ‘100%,’ and she should have a great figure,” Alice Lise said, pursing her lips. It wasn’t just Esdeath who knew this; she was well aware of it as well.

Tsunade:"……"

Is that what happened?

You guys really know a lot about this!

She didn't doubt its authenticity, because Bai Mu's behavior had already proven the point, not to mention that she herself was also deeply involved.

You're already on the pirate ship, don't you understand?

Although there hasn't been any real progress yet, he's certainly taken advantage of her quite a bit, especially with his feet...

Tsunade was speechless. She hadn't realized he had a foot fetish; it's hard to even describe such a fetish...

"You have me and them, aren't you satisfied?" Tsunade thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask, she needed to understand this matter.

"What are you talking about? I'm talking about serious matters. And the Two-Tails Jinchuriki... we didn't have any prisoners before, we killed them all, but now we have some, right? The Two-Tails Jinchuriki and the Cloud Village Jonin Samui."

Bai Mu waved his hand dismissively and said with an indifferent expression.

Don't misunderstand, okay?

You need to understand my intentions.

That's capturing prisoners!

"Are you kidding me?"

Alice Lise rolled her eyes, puffed out her cheeks, and looked incredibly cute with her huffy expression, but what she said was anything but cute.

"of course not."

Bai Mu said in a serious tone, his expression very solemn, firmly denying this statement. He said there was absolutely no way he was lying to ghosts, and he was speaking very seriously. How could you interpret it like that?

"Whether it's true or not, we know it in our hearts. You can't fool us." Esdeath snorted lightly, not believing what Bai Mu said.

While it might sound plausible, the problem is that she and Alice Lise aren't easily fooled, so skepticism remains.

"Enough talk, let's get started."

Bai Mu said with a serious expression.

I won't talk to you about these things. Let's focus on taking action and stop with these 1.2 and 2.2 stuff. It's all meaningless.

"Changing the subject is a common practice." Tsunade wasn't surprised by Bai Mu's actions; she was somewhat used to it.

Bai Mu ignored this and instead revealed his Sharingan. The skeleton of Susanoo appeared, and flesh, bones, and armor instantly condensed, revealing his upper body.

He gripped the golden longsword with both arms and swung it towards the stronghold. The energy of the longsword transformed into two sword energies, instantly breaking through the defenses outside the stronghold.

Those inside were undoubtedly aware of the commotion outside, but in reality, Yukito and Samui were already arguing about it endlessly.

The commotion outside was only briefly interrupted, but they quickly resumed their debate.

"The people from Konoha are here. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave at all."

Samui was unaware that the attackers were Hakumaki, Tsunade, and the others, so she was still urging Yugito to evacuate as soon as possible.

Chapter 68 Capturing the Two-Tailed Beast

withdraw?

Why withdraw?

Yukito does not believe that the project should be withdrawn.

"Given the current situation, there's no way to evacuate."

This is not something we can decide. The enemy has already come to our doorstep. You're still thinking about retreating? Isn't that just wishful thinking?

Honestly, this doesn't make sense.

“Nothing is impossible. I’ll take you with me, and everyone else can stay behind to cover our retreat.” Samui’s meaning was very clear: everyone else could be sacrificed.

You alone, Yuki-ren, must not be harmed.

"No need for that trouble." Yugito was unwilling. She didn't think she could escape now. It would be better to deal with the enemies outside.

Yugito was unwilling, but the Cloud Ninja who came with Samui and the Cloud Ninja in Yugito's team were all willing to sacrifice themselves to protect the safety of the Tailed Beasts.

And the reason?

It's very simple. This is a precious asset of Kumogakure, and absolutely nothing can happen to it. So safety is the top priority. We must protect Yugito no matter what, even if it means sacrificing ourselves.

"Yukito, don't be willful."

Seeing this, Samui sighed helplessly. Why can't you listen to advice? Why are you so stubborn? It's simply incomprehensible.

“I’m not being willful, it’s just that 18 is…”

Before Yukito could finish speaking, another wave of attacks came, destroying the pillar and sending countless stones raining down.

Everyone knew there was no going back; they would eventually have to face the invading enemy. So they exchanged glances and jumped out of the nearly collapsing house.
