"Was Madara also used? And he wants to destroy the world?"
Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, Kisame felt a bit overwhelmed.
Seeing that Kisame didn't seem to be very bright, Kawasaki didn't bother to explain the Otsutsuki matter in detail.
However, given the current situation, even if I explained it, he probably wouldn't be able to process it.
"We still have tough battles to fight in the future, so you'd better think it through."
Kawasaki patted Kisame on the shoulder.
Despite Kisame being an incredibly powerful fighter, Kawasaki intends to respect his wishes.
After all, he's about to start a family.
Kisame grinned and said:
"What are you thinking? The boss has supported me for so long, so naturally I should stand with him through thick and thin."
"Besides, I'm more than happy to have so many experts to spar with."
Kawasaki laughed heartily and said, "Okay, I understand."
"The Cloud Village will probably withdraw its troops soon. In a couple of days, tell Mei Terumi that the Iwagakure is gathering its forces and the Cloud Village will definitely retreat immediately."
"Once this matter is settled, you can return to Otogakure. First, discuss with Kyoko whether you want to move to Konoha."
"If you like the climate of the Land of Water, our Uchiha clan will take over these four islands in the future."
"You can settle down here."
Kisame was very fond of his boss, who always thought of him, and nodded with a smile.
"I understand."
After Kawasaki finished giving his instructions, his shadow clone vanished instantly.
...
Kawasaki, far away in Konoha, suddenly felt dizzy, but then returned to normal.
It seems that the Cloud Village is about to retreat. They have lost so many people and supplies, what else can they do but leave?
As for the subsequent pursuit by Kumogakure, it was all within Kawasaki's expectations.
Even if Kumogakure doesn't pursue them, Kawasaki will send two shadow clones to Kumogakure to teach them a lesson.
This will give Kirigakure more confidence and prevent various forces from trying to gain benefits from Kirigakure.
Just in case, he also wrote a letter to Onoki, informing him in advance that four thousand people in Kumogakure had been killed or wounded.
This made Iwagakure appear to be making a large-scale troop deployment.
This time, Yunyin has no choice but to retreat.
Kisame is exactly to Kawasaki's liking, being both loyal and brave.
He's an excellent assistant, and there will be many more opportunities to use him in the future.
Kawasaki was already mentally prepared for Obito's wanderings in the Land of Water.
Kawasaki had no idea how Obito managed to win Kakuzu over to his side.
Moreover, judging from Kakuzu's appearance, he doesn't seem to be genuinely loyal to Obito.
Nagato was perfectly fine, but Obito started undermining Akatsuki, clearly no longer pretending and coming clean.
Nagato is probably in some danger right now.
Chapter 191 Akatsuki! We won!
Kawasaki pondered how to help Nagato.
..
The leader of the Akatsuki organization launched a surprise attack on Kumogakure.
The news that he single-handedly triggered a giant tsunami, causing thousands of casualties in the Hidden Cloud Village.
It spread to the desks of powerful figures almost the very next day.
Onoki had even received a secret letter from Kawasaki the day before.
All factions raised the threat level of the Akatsuki organization to the highest level, and Onoki also amassed a large number of troops.
Of course, news of Onoki's blatant gathering of Iwagakure members spread quickly.
All the ninja villages now know that Iwagakure is planning to attack Kumogakure while it is weakened.
The Cloud Village army, which was cleaning up the mess, treating the wounded, and repairing ships on the battlefield in the Land of Water, also received this intelligence.
The high-ranking members of the Hidden Cloud Sect gathered on a ship that had sustained relatively minor damage for a meeting.
Raikage, Killer Bee, Samui, Mabui, Shi...
8939
Everyone was present, except for Yugito, who was seriously injured due to forced tailed beast transformation and was unable to attend.
Yunyin had never suffered such a great loss before; it was clearly an excellent opportunity.
The Jinchuriki of Kirigakure have run into trouble, and all the major bloodline limit families have been wiped out.
With its strength at an all-time low, this is the perfect time for the Hidden Cloud Village to strike.
If we can destroy Kirigakure and occupy the Land of Water, then Kumogakure's dominance of the ninja world will be just around the corner.
Therefore, the Hidden Cloud Village risked sending two Jinchuriki to land first and occupy the territory.
At first, the battle went very well, and everything was going smoothly.
However, Yugito and Killer Bee were later thwarted by the Akatsuki organization, and were only saved by the Uchiha in time.
Yukito and Kirabi are probably already dead.
The Cloud Village can still accept that the fight has come to this point.
After all, it has been confirmed that the Kirigakure Jinchuriki did have problems, and their overall strength has seriously declined.
However, when the Cloud Village army arrived and was still landing on the shore, the Akatsuki organization revealed their trump card.
A cataclysmic event, known as the Secret Technique 893, struck, directly destroying 60% of the Cloud Hidden's ships and causing thousands of deaths and injuries.
At this moment, the Hidden Mist seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
According to statistics, more than 3,000 people from the Cloud Village have been killed in action, leaving less than 1,000 survivors.
The final pursuit unexpectedly drew out hidden masters from Kirigakure, one from the Kaguya clan and the other from the Yuki clan, who overwhelmed Kumogakure with no chance to fight back.
If it weren't for the Wood Man forcibly using the Tailed Beast Ball to carve out a path for the Hidden Cloud Village, their losses would have been even more devastating.
Even so, nearly a hundred more people were lost.
No matter how strong the Raikage is, he can only lead his men to retreat.
In the final count, only eight hundred people from the Hidden Cloud Village survived.
Raikage slammed his fist on the table in frustration, and said resentfully:
"This battle against Kirigakure has failed. Let's discuss our next move."
Mabuyi, holding the documents, said:
"We have received information that Iwagakure is amassing a large force."
"If we continue to linger in the Land of Water, the Land of Thunder will be in great danger."
Killer Bee, still recovering from injuries sustained after forcibly using the Tailed Beast Ball and being caught in a tsunami, said:
"The Akatsuki organization is incredibly strong; they only sent a few people."
"Let us suffer such a heavy blow."
If everyone goes out, we'll be in even more danger, you idiots!
Samui calmly replied, "Such a powerful spell certainly can't be used casually."
"With the Raikage here, the other Akatsuki members pose no threat to us."
"However, the Akatsuki organization is probably wary of the Raikage, which is why they have been hesitant to show themselves."
Samui is right. The Raikage's individual assault capabilities are extremely strong. If the Akatsuki members attack as before...
None of them will escape.
Xi said with a hint of helplessness:
"There's no point in us staying here anymore; Kirigakure has already evacuated the island."
Although the Raikage was furious, he was helpless. After Kirigakure retreated, it was as if they had handed over the island.
However, without supplies, the Cloud Village could not hold out for long.
Raikage sighed dejectedly:
"Alright then, we'll withdraw our troops!"
In fact, this is the only path left for the Hidden Clouds.
The Raikage's orders were issued swiftly.
The Cloud Hidden Army knew what was going on, and no one objected; they quickly finished packing up.
We were traveling on one of the boats that had been repaired in the past two days.
They slowly left Jinlian Island.
Five thousand spirited warriors set off from the Land of Lightning, heading towards Kirigakure with great momentum, but ended up accomplishing nothing, with more than half of them either dead or wounded.
Now only seven or eight hundred people remain on their way back, all of them in a sorry state.
Once the intelligence agents on the island discovered this scene, they immediately spread the news.
When the news reached the Hidden Mist Village, everyone was overjoyed!
"They've retreated! The Cloud Village has withdrawn!"
"Victory!"
