Du du du...
Just as Izayoi and Hinata were admiring the meteor shower, the Cloud Village, many kilometers away, was sounding alarms.
It was just past nine in the evening, and most of the villagers were still awake. Even those who were asleep had not yet completely drifted into dreamland.
So when the alarm sounded, the villagers, who had several evacuation drills every year, rushed out of their homes.
"What... what is that?"
"Meteors, it's a meteor shower! Run!"
"Is the end of the world coming?"
"..."
Many villagers had just rushed out of their homes when they discovered the reason for the village's alarm.
Looking up at the orange-red flames in the sky, they were formed by huge fireballs.
And these fireballs were actually meteors descending at high speed, with a layer of flame generated by friction with the atmosphere, enveloping their entire bodies.
This scene, viewed from afar, was a very beautiful sight, and many people might have already made a praying gesture and started making wishes.
But for the Cloud Village, it was a natural disaster like the end of the world.
A black man who recognized it as a meteor shower was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.
Just then, streaks of afterimages darted around.
One of the afterimages stopped, revealing a black man wearing a vest, with dark skin and a strong physique.
He scolded the villagers who were standing there dumbfounded, "What are you standing here for? Quickly follow the safety manual and follow the command troops to the shelter."
The villagers, awakened by the scolding, rushed towards the direction of the shelter.
At the same time, on the rooftop of the Raikage Building, the Fourth Raikage was also looking at the meteor shower in the sky with a solemn expression.
Behind him, Mabui, with dark skin and short white hair, said urgently, "Raikage-sama, according to the analysis of the Sensor Team, the meteor shower will accurately fall on the village in at most three minutes. Please evacuate immediately."
"What nonsense are you talking about! I am the Raikage, how could I desert my post!" The Fourth Raikage scolded, and then asked knowingly, "In these three minutes, can the villagers hide in the shelter?"
"This time is too short, only the villagers on the outskirts of the city can reach the shelter." Mabui said with concern, "And it is impossible to determine whether the shelter's sturdiness and barrier can withstand the impact of the meteor shower."
The Fourth Raikage was not surprised and quickly issued an order, "Order the command troops to gather the villagers and have the Barrier Team cast a barrier to protect them. If one barrier is not enough, then cast multiple barriers. Even if the village is destroyed, the lives of the villagers must be saved."
After saying that, the Fourth Raikage broke the handrail of the rooftop with a palm, and gritted his teeth, "Damn it! It came too suddenly, I shouldn't have sent B to the Cloud-Lightning Gorge. If B was here, with his Eight-Tails Jinchuriki's Chakra, and me, we might be able to cast the Four Red Yang Formation to resist these meteor attacks."
"The Sensor Team has already contacted the person in charge of delivering supplies to Killer B-sama, and Killer B-sama should assist us from afar." Mabui said, "The Lightning Release Team and the Earth Release Team are also in place. As long as the meteorites descend to a certain height, they will use techniques to strike and provide double defense, trying to minimize the power of the meteor shower and protect this mountain."
The gloom in the Fourth Raikage's eyes dissipated slightly, and then he asked in a deep voice, "Has the Sensor Team found the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"Not yet, but it can be determined that the other party is hiding somewhere on this mountain." Mabui's face was ugly, "The landing position of the meteor shower is accurately aimed at our Cloud Village. If this is an artificial technique, then there must be an anchor point, otherwise it is too terrible, indicating that the person behind the scenes can summon a meteor shower at any time in the Shinobi World to strike any location in the Shinobi World."
"Such a technique, I am afraid that only the Sage of Six Paths in mythology can do it."
Hearing this, a cold light flashed in the Fourth Raikage's eyes, "In other words, is it the Akatsuki's revenge?"
"It's not certain yet, but the probability is higher than other major Shinobi Villages." Mabui said truthfully, "Currently, none of the known Kekkei Genkai and secret techniques in the Shinobi World, or even the Forbidden Techniques that have been lost, can summon meteorites, let alone such an astonishing number of meteor showers. Even the Kekkei Genkai Wood Release that pacified the troubled times is the same."
"But if the Sage of Six Paths in mythology, and the legendary head of the Three Great Eye Techniques, really exist, then summoning meteorites is very likely the Rinnegan's ability. After all... the moon in mythology was created by the Sage of Six Paths."
Looking up at the increasingly large, or rather, increasingly close fiery light, Mabui's eyes showed fear.
Because if this guess is confirmed, it means that there is an existence beyond the norm in the Shinobi World.
Compared to that, the threat of Konoha's Wood Release Ninja is not worth mentioning at all.
Even the Ninja God who pacified the troubled times cannot compare.
After all, the Ninja God's benevolence is still being sung throughout the Shinobi World.
And the mastermind behind this strategic strike, who takes action at the slightest disagreement, is simply a madman!
Being targeted by such a terrorist, even if Cloud Village is rebuilt, it might suffer a strategic strike again in the next second.
One of the Five Great Nations is likely to exist in name only.
This is a doomsday crisis only for Cloud Village!
"Ninja Art: Four Violet Flames Formation!"
At this moment, shouts echoed throughout Cloud Village.
Immediately, under the night sky, rectangular purple transparent barriers rose in Cloud Village.
Some of the barriers were even composed of several layers.
At least a dozen ninjas inside were casting spells, protecting hundreds of villagers.
At the same time, several layers of barriers protected the Raikage Building.
The Fourth Raikage looked up at the meteor shower that had already occupied his vision, and he could not see the starry sky except for the fiery light. He was expressionless, his eyes reflecting the fiery light, and the red light of killing intent materialized.
As for Mabui behind him, she had already disappeared, not knowing what she had gone to do.
When the orange-red flames formed by the meteor shower were about to engulf Cloud Village like a flood.
Several purple barriers suddenly opened a huge hole in the sky, and countless electric currents surged out, rising into the sky like dense pillars.
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
"Lightning Release: Black Panther!"
"..."
The shouts of various spells also echoed.
At the same time, a huge purple-black energy ball also flew from afar towards the fiery light in the sky.
Boom————
Rumble...
As the Tailed Beast Ball's earth-shattering explosion sounded, followed by a series of explosions, it instantly deprived everyone of their hearing.
Countless villagers protected by the barrier covered their ears with their hands, their faces showing pain.
Even many Cloud Ninja were like this.
The dazzling colored flames, like fireworks blooming across the sky, erupted and engulfed the entire Cloud Village.
The terrifying shockwave, like a hurricane passing through, howled and raged.
Several mountains centered around the Cloud Village shook violently.
The mountain peaks swept by the storm even had cracks blasted into their walls.
If it were daytime, one could even see the massive mountain where the Cloud Village was located, its structure cracking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Amidst the deafening, sky-shattering explosions, whose sound waves spread through the valleys and echoed for countless miles, faint shouts could still be heard.
"Ninja Art: Heavenly Transfer Technique!"
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Rampart, block it for me!!!"
"..."
As if someone had stepped on a landmine, explosions erupted on the mountains surrounding the Cloud Village, expanding the range of the tremors, sound waves, and hurricane.
Even Hinata, who was watching shooting stars from a mountaintop who-knows-how-many miles away in Izayoi's arms, could see brilliant fireworks blooming in the distant mountains.
Not knowing that this was the Land of Lightning and assuming it was an uninhabited mountainous area, Hinata exclaimed again, "Is this what a meteor exploding at night looks like? It's so beautiful, even more beautiful than in the Land of Rivers!"
"Do you like it? How about this surprise, do you like it?" Izayoi lowered his head and kissed Hinata's cheek, smiling.
"Mmm-hmm..."
Hinata nodded repeatedly, her face filled with a happy smile, and boldly kissed her boyfriend's cheek as well.
Then, leaning in Izayoi's arms, she smiled and said, "This is the happiest birthday I've ever had, I'll never forget it in my life."
"Me too."
Izayoi picked Hinata up, placed her on his lap, and continued to enjoy the fireworks and starry sky with his girlfriend.
Unlike Hinata, who felt incredibly happy and romantically fulfilled at this moment, the Cloud Village was experiencing a human tragedy.
The hurricane formed by the explosions and shockwaves lasted for an unknown amount of time before slowly subsiding.
Mushroom clouds rose one after another, and the dense dust and mist formed as they dispersed enveloped several mountains surrounding the Cloud Village.
Even with the constant strong winds due to the towering geographical environment, this astonishingly large area of dust and mist would not dissipate for quite some time.
Just then, a figure as small as an ant, surrounded by red powder, appeared out of thin air above the dusty area.
The black coat embroidered with red clouds, the orange short hair, the black piercings on his face, and the purple-patterned eyes, it was Deva Path Pain.
More precisely, it was Izayoi's Wood Clone transformed into Deva Path Pain.
Just as Wood Clone is second only to White Zetsu Clones, Wood Transformation is also second only to the Impersonation Technique.
Ordinary Transformation Techniques, without strong Chakra Control, would automatically be dispelled with the slightest collision.
Only someone with Izayoi's golden-level Chakra Control could maintain the Transformation Technique while using Physical Stamina Healing to heal others.
Even so, if Izayoi were to suffer a relatively severe impact, the Transformation Technique would still be dispelled automatically.
Therefore, Izayoi's Shadow Clone did not play the house-house ninja game with Gaara.
But now, Izayoi's Wood Clones had no such concerns at all.
Even if the enemy's attack was strong enough to blow up the Wood Clone, the Wood Transformation would not be undone.
Because the effect of Wood Transformation was like carving, unless Izayoi actively dispelled it, it would not change.
If all of his own Chakra was absorbed from others, the Wood Clone could even temporarily possess the effect of the Impersonation Technique, perfectly flawless.
His figure floating in the air, Izayoi's gaze ignored the obstruction of the dust and mist, taking in the situation of Cloud Village and transmitting it to the Main Body in real time.
Currently holding Hinata, admiring the starry sky, saying sweet words, and occasionally practicing his grip strength, Izayoi's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he thought to himself, Although I expected them to be able to take this greeting gift, I didn't expect the survival rate to be so high. As expected of the most united and strongest Shinobi Village at present. But it's also good news, at least... they haven't created a Chakra cannon!
In this world where Sealing Scrolls existed, Izayoi was not sure whether Cloud Village had created a Chakra cannon.
Therefore, he directly arranged for several Wood Clones to simultaneously use the Attraction of the Tenseigan to pull down a large number of meteorites from outer space, using a meteor shower to greet this strongest Shinobi Village.
The purpose was to test Cloud Village!
Now the result was out, Cloud Village did not have such a powerful weapon.
So, Izayoi transmitted the instructions to the Wood Clones.
The Wood Clone floating in the air, red powder reappeared around him out of thin air, and then his figure disappeared.
Before long, the dust and mist area, which would take a long time to dissipate, was also dispelled by Wind Release.
Cloud Village, shrouded in dust and mist, was revealed.
At this moment, Cloud Village had become a mess, the urban area was almost reduced to ruins, leaving less than one-tenth of the buildings still intact, or dilapidated, or barely standing.
The ground was covered with meteorite craters of various sizes.
Outside the craters were rubble from collapsed buildings and meteorite explosions, burying countless corpses.
The terrifying shock wave even penetrated the mountain from top to bottom, blasting the mountain peaks full of cracks, like dangerous buildings.
In addition, there were rectangular barriers, like transparent buildings, standing on the ground of Cloud Village.
Inside were villagers groaning in pain, and Cloud Ninja who were seriously injured, or even killed by the shock wave.
If it weren't for the protection of multiple barriers, the people inside the barriers would definitely have suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing that the meteor shower had disappeared, these Ninja who consumed a lot of Chakra to maintain the barriers, dispelled the barriers one after another, took out Soldier Pills to restore their physical strength and Chakra, and then went to rescue the injured.
The Cloud Ninja who mastered Medical Ninjutsu, treated the nearest injured person as soon as possible.
Soon, all the barriers disappeared.
Little did they know, their actions were leading wolves into the house.
In the next moment, a large amount of red powder appeared out of thin air.
Figures wearing red cloud black clothes appeared on the ruins, their arms extending out with blades of cold light, attacking the Cloud Ninja wearing vests.
"Enemy attack!!!"
"It's Akatsuki, quickly blow the alarm whistle!"
"Don't panic, the Barrier Team and the Medical Team are responsible for escorting and protecting the villagers, the rest of you follow me to deal with the enemy!"
"..."
The sounds of shouting and whistles blowing were so loud in this silent night sky.
After the doomsday-like meteor shower, Cloud Village ushered in a new round of calamity.
