Lurking in Konoha, part-time Hokage

"retreat!"

Tsunade shouted without hesitation when she saw the Fourth Raikage.

Since he appeared, it meant that the reinforcements from the Hidden Cloud Village were not far away.

If we don't take this opportunity to leave, it will be difficult to leave once we are surrounded.

And they have achieved great results.

In their surprise attack, the Hidden Cloud Village lost more than half of its people and suffered hundreds of casualties.

This can definitely be regarded as the biggest gain for Konoha Village and Sand Village in the past two months.

"retreat?"

The Fourth Raikage snorted coldly and said, "Stay here!"

His aura suddenly increased, lightning filled the air, and he flashed in front of Hanekawa.

Although he didn't know how the conversation between Hanekawa and Samui went, no amount of information could compare to Hanekawa's.

If he doesn't want to go back, force him to go back.

Water Style: Water Flash Technique!

Hanekawa reacted extremely quickly, and the moment the fist approached him, he turned into a puddle of water.

The Fourth Raikage was too fast, his punch missed, and his body couldn't help but run forward.

Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

Hanekawa regained his true form and formed seals with his hands.

A water dragon flew out with a roar.

The Fourth Raikage turned around and punched, and the shining lightning covered his fist.

The water dragon was directly shattered, turning into splashes of water.

Just as the Fourth Raikage was about to move forward, he sensed a dangerous aura.

Composite Ninja Technique: Earth Dragon Flame Style!

At Hanekawa's feet, the ground bulged and a huge dragon head emerged.

He and the dragon opened their mouths at the same time, and mud bullets flew out and merged with the flames.

The Fourth Raikage's face solemnly frowned and he dared not underestimate him.

Lightning Chakra Mode!

Layers of lightning suddenly burst out from his body, moving like lightning snakes, instantly covering his entire body.

The Fourth Raikage moved.

A flash of lightning suddenly flashed in the air, and crackling thunder sounded.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, the Fourth Raikage dodged the fire mud bomb and rushed towards Hanekawa.

"careful!"

Tsunade turned around and couldn't help but feel her heart tighten.

Although it was a retreat, the number of ninjas in the Hidden Cloud Village was large, and with their entanglement, the retreat would take some time.

During this time, Hanekawa must hold back the Fourth Raikage.

Molten Release: Rasengan!

Hanekawa grabbed with his right hand, a scorching breath gushed out, and a rotating magma bomb was formed.

He aimed at the Fourth Raikage and smashed it.

What kind of Rasengan is this?

The Fourth Raikage subconsciously clenched his fists, and a dazzling flash of lightning appeared.

Thunderous level!

Instead of advancing, he retreated, and his hand was like a sharp knife slashing at the Lava Release Rasengan.

With a loud bang!

A terrifying and scorching air wave was generated, lightning tore through the magma, and the aftermath of the collision spread in all directions.

Samui and others quickly retreated to avoid being touched by lightning and lava.

"This is Lava Release plus Rasengan!"

Tutai couldn't help but say.

He himself has Lava Release, although it is different from Lao Zi's Lava Release, but he still recognized it.

As for the Rasengan, because Minato Namikaze uses it frequently, it has become his signature ninjutsu and has gained considerable fame.

"You learned Lava Release by yourself?"

The Fourth Raikage couldn't help but ask upon hearing this.

"yes."

Hanekawa admitted.

"He is truly a rare genius in the ninja world."

The Fourth Raikage had the same feelings as his father, the Third Raikage.

Damn the guy who sent Hanekawa to be a spy!

If Tsunade and the others were not still there, he would have wanted to ask him to return to the Hidden Cloud Village.

Samui gritted his teeth.

Just by learning Lava Release by herself, Hanekawa's talent has already surpassed that of her and the two Yubokuto and other geniuses of the Hidden Cloud Village of this generation.

Only Darui, who possesses Storm Release, can barely make it.

"Teacher, you go first."

Hanekawa said without turning his head.

"How can it be that easy?"

After seeing Hanekawa's talent, the Fourth Raikage was even more reluctant to let him return to Konoha Village.

He acts in a domineering manner and always practices the method of forcing a melon to quench one's thirst.

In the original work, he often stole secret techniques or talents from other villages.

Even the Konoha Village had had Uzumaki Kushina and Hyuga Hinata kidnapped by the Hidden Cloud Village.

A large amount of chakra transformed into lightning and moved around the body of the Fourth Raikage.

Hanekawa narrowed his eyes.

He knew the Lightning Release Chakra mode like the back of his hand.

He knew that the Fourth Raikage was revitalizing his body to enhance his strength, speed, reaction ability, etc.

This is troublesome.

If he could use the Lightning Chakra mode, Hanekawa would naturally not be afraid.

But the problem was that Tsunade and the others were there, so he didn't dare use it, for fear of being discovered and unable to explain himself clearly.

But it's okay.

It's not that Hanekawa is without advantages. He is stronger than others, but his speed is a bit slower.

And he doesn't need to defeat the Fourth Raikage, just delaying time will be completely fine.

With a whoosh!

The Fourth Raikage came like a flash of lightning, teleporting over.

Earth Escape·Earthquake Core!

Hanekawa released the ninjutsu he had prepared.

In front of him, a huge cube of land suddenly rose towards the sky.

Just as the Fourth Raikage was about to swing his fist, his body suddenly swayed. He couldn't help but redirect his chakra to his legs to stabilize his body.

When the clod of earth rose to its highest point, a distance of four or five meters suddenly opened up between the two people.

Composite Ninja Technique: Thunder Water Dragon Bullet!

Hanekawa formed seals with his hands and spit out a water dragon.

The water dragon shook in the air, and a large amount of lightning rolled out from inside.

Yi Leichen's angry thunder axe!

The Fourth Raikage leaped up, raised his right leg high, and then dropped it, and the whole person seemed to be a violent axe falling from the sky.

The Thunder and Water Dragon was split in half from top to bottom.

The Fourth Raikage once again burst out with terrifying speed and rushed towards Hanekawa.

Earth escape: Rock arm!

Hanekawa clapped his hands.

A giant hand made of rock blocked his way.

"So it's Ohnoki's Earth Release."

The Fourth Raikage continued at full speed and crashed directly into the giant palm.

In an instant, the rock shattered into pieces.

But Hanekawa had disappeared.

The Fourth Raikage stood there and couldn't help but frown.

Just then, the ground bulged and a pair of hands stretched out.

But just as he grabbed the Fourth Raikage's feet, he suddenly fell empty.

"Underground!"

The Fourth Raikage leaped forward and then stepped down.

The lightning concentrated on the feet, bringing terrible destructive power.

The ground cracked, revealing a deep pit.

But Hanekawa then turned into a rock.

This is Earth Escape·Rock Clone.

“What a hassle.”

The Fourth Raikage looked around, feeling very angry.

This guy is really too annoying.

His strength is obviously better than Hanekawa, but he just can't defeat him.

The sound of breaking wind was heard.

The Fourth Raikage turned around subconsciously and saw Hanekawa.

Wind Style: Vacuum Wave!

Hanekawa opened his mouth and spit out dozens of rotating wind cuts.

The wind seemed to have become the sharpest blade, forming a large-scale knife formation in an instant.

The Fourth Raikage felt threatened.

Can't connect it hard.

Although his Lightning Chakra Mode had decent defense, it still couldn't withstand so many wind blades.

Without thinking, the Fourth Raikage turned into a flash of lightning and ran to the left, quickly moving away from the range of the wind blade.

Hanekawa's heart moved.

He has been busy using earth and water jutsu recently, and has forgotten that wind jutsu is the nemesis of lightning jutsu.

Although it is not so effective against the Fourth Raikage, it still has certain advantages.

Wind Style: Vacuum Ball!

Hanekawa took a breath, then exhaled, and chakra spurted out like a bullet.

He felt like he had turned into a pea shooter, constantly spitting out wind-style light waves.

This wind-style ninjutsu is Shimura Danzo's signature ninjutsu.

The Fourth Raikage dodged again.

He knew that he couldn't go on like this, so he suddenly sped up and approached Hanekawa.

His speed is as fast as lightning, even difficult to catch with the naked eye.

In fact, in the original work, even the Mangekyō Sharingan couldn’t see the Fourth Raikage’s full strength state clearly.

Hanekawa couldn't help but show a look of vigilance.

It was obvious that the Fourth Raikage had put away any contempt and had entered serious mode.

This means that the subsequent battles will be more difficult.

Wind Style: Fierce Wind Palm!

Hanekawa clapped his hands and a strong wind enveloped his entire body.

Instantaneous body movement!

His body narrowly avoided a punch from the Fourth Raikage.

Earth escape·Earth flow wall!

In front of Hanekawa, a wall of earth rose up.

Although it was smashed to pieces by a punch from the Fourth Raikage, it did stop him for a moment.

Water Style: Exploding Water Wave!

Just as the Fourth Raikage was about to step forward, he saw Hanekawa spit out endless water, forming a huge wave that rushed towards him.

"retreat!"

Tutai shouted hurriedly.

So much water has no effect on the Fourth Raikage, but it is a disaster for many Chunins and Genins.

"Hanekawa!"

Just then, Tsunade's voice sounded in the distance.

“Damn it!”

The Fourth Raikage showed a look of reluctance.

Now that Tsunade, Hyuga Hizashi and others have retreated, it is natural for Hanekawa to run as well.

But he couldn't stop Hanekawa in such a short time.

This means that the Hidden Cloud Village suffered a crushing defeat today.

The level of thunder and cruelty Chiyo Mai!

The Fourth Raikage's eyes focused, and he leaped into the air.

While avoiding the huge waves, he swooped down, his right hand turning into a knife, flashing with terrifying power.

In the original work, the Fourth Raikage used this ninjutsu to cut off the right horn of the Eight-Tails, and also shattered Uchiha Madara's initial form of Susanoo. Its power was enormous.

Chidori flow!

Lightning burst out from Hanekawa's entire body.

Earth escape technique: rock fist!

Hanekawa's right arm turned into rock.

Super strength!

Hanekawa threw out a punch, which collided with the Fourth Raikage's hand knife.

In an instant, cracks appeared in the rock, but it did not break.

A huge force came.

The Fourth Raikage's body shook and he took half a step back.

But Hanekawa flew backwards.

"As expected of you, Raikage-sama!"

Dodai let out a sigh of relief when he saw that the Fourth Raikage had the upper hand.

"Hanekawa did it on purpose."

Samui's eyes suddenly fixed and he said.

Hanekawa turned his body in mid-air and soon disappeared without a trace.

Tutai's expression suddenly froze.

“This guy…”

The Fourth Raikage couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart.

Although he had the advantage overall, he had no way to deal with Hanekawa.

Even he is like this, if it were someone else, it would be even worse.

Now he can be sure that Hanekawa has the strength comparable to Gomura Kage.

It was no accident that he was able to kill the Third Mizukage.

"pity."

The Fourth Raikage showed regret on his face.

Such a strong man should have belonged to the Hidden Cloud Village, but ended up being the property of the Konoha Village.

"What are the casualties?"

The Fourth Raikage looked towards Dodai.

"More than five hundred ninjas died, and the surviving ninjas were injured to varying degrees."

Tutai said with a heavy face.

Most of the people from Konoha Village who came to attack were jonin.

When they launched a surprise attack, they caused great damage at the first encounter, and the subsequent situation was like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

"It's not your fault."

The Fourth Raikage shook his head and asked, "Have you talked to Hanekawa?"

"We've already talked about it."

Samui replied.

"Let's talk about it after Mabui and the others arrive."

The Fourth Raikage thought for a moment and said.

Half an hour later, reinforcements from the Hidden Cloud Village led by Mabui finally arrived.

In a makeshift tent.

The four people who knew Hanekawa's identity gathered together.

Samui relayed her conversation with Hanekawa.

"Send someone to check on him and Tsunade's situation first."

The Fourth Raikage seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "If it is true, it is somewhat credible."

"Even if it's true, it doesn't mean anything."

Ma Buyi said in a deep voice, "The key lies in what information he will give."

"Are we just going to wait like this?"

Tutai asked dissatisfiedly.

"We have no other choice but to wait."

Mabui sighed and said.

“…”

Tutai was speechless.

Even the Fourth Raikage couldn't defeat him, there really was no other way.

"Let's talk about it after a while."

The Fourth Raikage was very decisive and said, "If he doesn't give us the information, then just expose his identity!"

"yes!"

Mabui and the others answered in unison.

Samui sighed inwardly, hoping it wouldn't come to that.

Thousands of meters away, the people of Konoha Village stopped when they saw that the Hidden Cloud Village had not caught up.

“What a great victory!”

Aburame Shiwei said excitedly, "I counted the parasites I left behind, and found that more than 500 Kumogakure ninjas died."

Everyone was cheered up after hearing this.

This is indeed a great achievement.

Although the Frost Country has gathered tens of thousands of ninjas from the three parties, battles between ninjas rarely result in so many casualties at one time.

After all, there were no large-scale engagements, only small-scale battles.

"This time, it's all thanks to Hanekawa."

Hinata Hizashi saw the whole process because he had his Byakugan open. "If he hadn't held back the Raikage, it wouldn't have been so easy for us."

"yes."

Everyone in Konoha Village nodded, "As expected of you, Master Tsunade's student!"

Hanekawa has achieved various amazing results in recent years, and they have long changed their views.

In their minds, he is no longer an ordinary genius, and now he can even compete with the Fourth Raikage.

If nothing unexpected happens, Hanekawa will become a high-ranking figure in Konoha like Tsunade, with terrifying influence.

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this, let's hurry back to base camp."

Although Tsunade said this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and she was in a very good mood.

Everyone returned to the base camp.

“You did a great job.”

After listening to the report, Orochimaru said, "I will report it truthfully."

He is the commander and must be fair and just, so that he can make his subordinates obey his orders.

Only Danzo Shimura was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he could do nothing about it.

Hanekawa's performance today proved what Orochimaru said before, that only they can fight against the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee.
