Chapter 618 The Fifth Raikage
The Kumogakure ninjas, carrying the elderly and children, quickly evacuated the village.
The White Zetsu army was pressing forward step by step. As the chakra and physical strength of the young and middle-aged ninjas were rapidly decreasing, the defense line was riddled with holes, and the team's retreat was getting slower and slower.
"No more running! Lord Fourth Generation, I'm here to help you!"
"If you're dead, then you're dead. At your age, you probably can't get used to eating rice outside. Just bury your old bones in the Hidden Cloud Village!"
"Darui, take the children and retreat. Leave us old guys alone!"
The old men were the first to make their decision. Those who had not fought for ten or twenty years took up their weapons again, used their old bodies to turn into solid walls, and used their lives to fight for a glimmer of hope for the young people. One by one, they let out roars that were not loud, but still full of fighting spirit.
More than five hundred veteran ninjas rushed to the front line, replacing the young ninjas and fighting desperately against the White Zetsu army that was pressing forward step by step.
If a kunai breaks, just use your fist to hit it. If an arm is broken, tie an explosive tag on it and rush into White Zetsu's team.
One by one, the old men put on their ninja forehead protectors again and died bravely as Kumogakure ninjas.
The young men did not cry because they knew the old ninjas did not want to see their tears.
Children are the future, young and strong ninjas are the backbone of the village, and the elderly are nothing.
Everyone quickened their pace and tried to make the retreat more orderly, but they were held tightly by the White Zetsu army and their retreat was still very slow.
Or perhaps the White Zetsu army was too eager to swallow up the entire Hidden Cloud Village in one gulp.
Ino, who used two "head seals" of the Myojin Gate in a row to suppress the Ten-Tails, couldn't help but look back. She had killed many Kumogakure ninjas on the battlefield, but at this moment, she was still a little moved.
She suppressed the Ten-Tails with her left hand and drained the opponent's chakra with her right hand, so she really had no hands free.
She shouted from afar: "Ban, seeing this scene, aren't you moved at all?"
Madara sneered: "What do you know? I have seen scenes that are ten times more cruel than this. You are okay in ninjutsu, but you are too immature in mentality."
Ino felt the other party's contempt was real and she was very depressed. In terms of mentality, as a modern person, she was indeed no match for these guys who had been going to the battlefield and killing people since they were three or five years old. Her verbal persuasion was declared a failure as soon as it started.
"Scorpion, aren't you the genius puppeteer of the Sand Village? Give them a hand, they are too slow."
"Okay." Scorpion is now in soul state, and he has no problem using chakra threads to control the Fourth Kazekage, but he no longer has the ability to micro-control the "Red Secret Technique. Hundred Machines" through the regeneration core.
Originally the Fourth Kazekage was controlled with one hand, but now it has been changed to two hands.
The control accuracy of the fourth-generation Wind Shadow puppet instantly increased several times.
The human puppet used physical skills to block Madara's shadow, while controlling the Gold Sand to kill the White Zetsu army.
"Magnetic Escape. Golden Sand Waves!" Countless golden sands fell from the sky and hit the White Zetsu like waves, knocking them all over the place.
This kind of large-scale ninjutsu is generally difficult to achieve without causing accidental injuries, but Scorpion is indeed unique in the field of micro-control. He controls the Fourth Kazekage, who in turn controls the Gold Sand. Even with such a layer between them, he still controls the Gold Sand extremely accurately. Hundreds of golden sand pillars, some rushing straight, some sweeping, some smashing, all hit White Zetsu without causing any accidental injuries.
"Is this really the Fourth Kazekage?" The Fourth Raikage couldn't help but look over. They were both Kages of the same generation and were very familiar with each other's moves.
Ino was too busy to talk, but she still gave him a look of understanding. The Fourth Raikage thought to himself, "Oh my god, could it be that the Fourth Kazekage was not killed by Orochimaru, but by Sasori? Is this guy addicted to killing Kazekages?"
The Fourth Kazekage's Gold Sand is actually not very effective against masters. It looks dazzling, but in fact it simply pursues a huge attack range, so the power is naturally dispersed. But at this time, the effect against White Zetsu is extremely good. The densely packed White Zetsu army, numbering tens of thousands, was stopped by the Gold Sand, which bought some time for the Hidden Cloud Ninja to evacuate.
“Darui! From now on, you are the Fifth Raikage! Take them away from here! This is the last order I give you!” The Fourth Raikage said in a muffled voice with his eyes wide open.
The usually lazy Storm Release Ninja Darui closed his eyes slightly, his face solemn, and nodded vigorously, indicating that he was willing to take on this important task. Ma Buyi at the side handed him the Raikage hat.
He knew very well that the loss of Kumogakure Village was too great this time. Who was responsible? The Fourth Raikage took all the blame.
What's more, if we call for reinforcements from Konoha, and then the whole village runs away, leaving the people of Konoha behind to cover our retreat? Is that reasonable?
The Fourth Raikage was determined to die and had no intention of leaving the village alive.
He will die here too.
Give an explanation to those who died in the Hidden Cloud Village and to Konoha.
Darui put on a bamboo hat and shouted orders, "Retreat, retreat from the Hidden Cloud Village."
The Fourth Raikage rejoined the battle.
Having the determination to die does not mean seeking death. He took a quick look at the three battlefields.
The traditional method of suppressing the tailed beasts in the Hidden Cloud Village is to punch hard. Either I knock the tailed beast out, or the tailed beast knocks me out. There is no third option. Now that the Ten-Tails has absorbed the Eight-Tails, its strength has skyrocketed. Its exaggerated size, strength, and endurance are so high that it makes people despair. The traditional method cannot be used, and he can't help. He can only let Ino continue to stalemate with the Ten-Tails.
Scorpion seemed to be controlling the Fourth Kazekage to hit the air? He couldn't understand what he was doing.
There were too many monsters and demons, so he immediately rushed over to help Izuna deal with Madara.
Ino shouted from afar: "Hey, you are no longer the Raikage, are you still called Ai? What is your real name?"
He replied unhappily: "What is my name? Does it have anything to do with you?"
Ino's tone was also stiff: "Then there has to be a name, right? I should call you Hello?"
"I will be the Raikage until I die!"
Darui became the new Raikage and watched the Fourth Raikage turn back to fight Madara. The Fourth Raikage had a broken hand, was injured, and was depressed. He was no longer in his peak condition and was soon beaten to the point of spitting blood. He wanted to draw his sword and go back to fight to the death, but he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and could not die here.
The Hidden Cloud Ninja and villagers rushed out of the village, and more White Zetsu followed.
They fought and retreated, and when they left the Land of Lightning and entered the Land of Frost, they encountered the Konoha reinforcements brought by Asuma.
The Konoha ninjas had been marching for most of the day and were extremely tired, but under the leadership of Asuma, they cooperated with the Kumogakure ninjas and jointly repelled the pursuit of the White Zetsu army.
The two seriously injured people including Mokuto and Samui received emergency treatment from medical ninjas, but there were no conditions here and they could only do some simple bleeding control work. The seriously injured people had to be sent to Konoha for surgery immediately.
