In Sesei's house.
"Dotai, you can really fucking endure!"
Yamanaka Kei muttered, pulling off his ninja shoes, which were somewhat damaged and deformed from the forceful yanking.
After checking that there was nothing that needed to be destroyed, he temporarily sealed them into a Storage Scroll.
He then found a pair of old ninja shoes in the shoe cabinet and changed into them.
Clapping his hands together, he used Ninja Art: Deodorizing Smoke Prison to completely eliminate all traces of his scent.
Just now, after he had used Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage to escape underground.
Dotai's Earth Release: Opening Earth Rising Excavation began to overturn the surrounding soil on a large scale.
Originally, he had planned to leave directly with the Flying Thunder God Technique, but he didn't expect that the main water pipe buried deep underground was directly destroyed by Opening Earth Rising Excavation.
So, he used a combination of Water Transformation Technique and Water Release: Wave Riding Strike to escape far away using the main water pipe.
He even washed away all the dust and dirt that had stuck to his body.
Only then did he use the Flying Thunder God Technique to return home.
After finishing up, Yamanaka Kei looked at the alarm lights that quickly lit up in the Cloud Village from the windowsill, listening to the piercing alarm sound in his ears.
He put on a look of being faced with a formidable enemy and rushed into the room where Musai was.
"The alarm is ringing! Why aren't you awake yet!"
After slapping him awake twice, he grabbed the young man by the collar and ran downstairs.
"Dad! Dad! What's wrong! What's going on!"
Musai woke up from the Genjutsu, as if he was still drowsy, and didn't know what had happened at all.
The piercing alarm sound resounded throughout the entire ninja village.
In many places, the sounds of ninjutsu colliding could even be faintly heard.
This made the young man, who had just become a ninja and had not yet experienced blood and fire, couldn't help but panic.
"Remember the assassination yesterday?"
Yamanaka Kei responded in a deep voice, and joined up with the ninjas who had also been awakened from their sleep, and together they rushed towards the 'distress signal' rising in the sky.
According to his previous plan.
The time when the battle at Dotai's residence ended was the time when the Shadow Clones began to execute the assassination plan.
Given Dotai's importance to the Cloud Village and the Third Raikage A.
As long as he and Dotai broke out in battle, the Raikage would definitely rush to Dotai's residence as soon as possible.
The remaining Shadow Clones could completely take advantage of this opportunity to launch surprise attacks on the established assassination targets. Even if the commotion was a little louder, the Third Raikage probably wouldn't have time to care.
And everything went as he had envisioned. Even though the commotion was not small and alarmed many people.
But all eight Shadow Clones perfectly completed the mission requirements.
He was merely puzzled by one thing.
This distress signal didn't seem to originate from the location of any of the people he was supposed to assassinate?
Hmm... Killer Bee seems to live around here?
And this fighting...
Could it be that he's stumbled upon an assassination plot by another ninja village!
Which unlucky kid is so unfortunate? Look, isn't this running into the barrel of a gun?
"Genin, fall back! Chunin, seal off the surrounding blocks! Jonin, tighten the encirclement! Capture him alive!"
"Genin, don't join the fun! Get out, get out!"
"Damn it! Finally caught one who didn't run away. I'll see which ninja village's bastard this is!"
"Daring to carry out assassinations in our Cloud Village, we must wipe them out!"
"Chunin, surround the surrounding blocks, quickly, quickly, quickly!"
Amidst the noise and chaotic commands, Yamanaka Kei tossed Musai out and whispered.
"Stay away. Anyone who dares to carry out assassinations is no simple character."
"You too, Dad."
Musai nodded repeatedly, and retreated in a fluster to the group of low-level ninjas in the distance.
Yamanaka Kei turned his head, frowning, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
The enormous octopus tails danced wildly in the night, and the sound of thunder echoed incessantly.
A full ten minutes later.
The lightning at the center of the encirclement in the distance gradually dissipated.
From beginning to end, the so-called "assassin" had failed to break through the blockade of the Cloud Village Jonin.
"All Jonin and Anbu, check each other's ninja shoes. Anyone with damaged shoes, mechanisms, or missing shoes, stay behind. The rest continue to check the Chunin and Genin."
An order came from the center of the encirclement.
Yamanaka Kei raised an eyebrow, thoughtfully glancing at the ninja who issued the order.
Dotai, that guy, is planning to identify people by their shoes?
But it's too late, his shoes have already been changed!
Moreover, the ninja shoes he wore earlier didn't have any mechanisms.
It was just that when he exchanged blows with Dotai, under the Super-Speed Reaction brought by Zero Frame Startup, seeing that the other party was actually preparing to take the kick head-on, he had a sudden idea and activated Medical Water Release: Water Mantis, extending a small section of mantis blade from the tip of his shoe.
The usage of Medical Water Release: Water Mantis is somewhat similar to the Chakra Scalpel.
But because of the blessing of the Water Release Master trait, Yamanaka Kei used it more smoothly and conveniently.
Not only did it not require hand seals, but the speed of execution was also faster than the Rasengan.
There were clear instructions issued.
All the ninjas present quickly took action.
Seven ninjas were left in place, and the remaining ninjas took turns checking all the Chunin and Genin present.
Musai, who had been dragged straight from his bed and hadn't even had time to put on his shoes, was unsurprisingly one of those pulled out.
"Why aren't you wearing shoes?"
The Cloud Village Jonin in charge of the inspection narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Musai in front of him.
"I, I was asleep. My dad heard the alarm and rushed into my room, gave me two slaps, and dragged me away. I didn't have a chance to put them on..."
Musai pitifully showed the slap marks on his face.
Seriously, those two slaps hurt like hell!
But he had been beaten since he was a child, so he was tough. At most, they would disappear tomorrow.
If it were someone else, their face would probably swell up like a pig's head on the spot.
"...Go stand over there."
The Cloud Village Jonin twitched his lips, not wanting to comment on such a father-son relationship.
"That's my son! That's my son, this, this, this... let me stay with him..."
Seeing this, Yamanaka Kei hurriedly went up to echo.
He accompanied Musai to stand among the group of 'suspects'.
Tonight's events really made him a little confused. He could take this opportunity to stay and see what was going on.
Before long, two medical ninjas came from the direction of Dotai's residence, carrying a stretcher.
Dotai, with a pale face, lay on the stretcher, his eyes closed, his hands forming seals, using his Bloodline Limit Lava Release to sense and control the surrounding rubber.
Earlier, when he was clasping the enemy's shoe surface, his own Lava Release Bloodline Limit ninjutsu was still running.
The ninja shoes worn by the other party were originally made of leather and rubber, and the rubber part inevitably retained a large amount of his Lava Release Chakra.
These Chakra traces were extremely difficult to remove.
As long as the distance was not too far, he could use it to identify and lock onto the assassin.
But after sensing for a long time, he helplessly shook his head at the Anbu captain beside him.
"Those without shoes, follow. Jonin, join the mission team. Everyone else, disband."
The Anbu captain nodded slightly and issued new orders to the crowd again.
Yamanaka Kei accompanied Musai and followed Dotai's team.
Through round after round of screening, more than a dozen barefoot ninjas followed Dotai's stretcher into the central area of the battle just now.
Within a hundred meters of the battle area.
Large swaths of houses collapsed, and wails and cries of pain were endless.
Medical ninjas were swarming around, quickly treating the injured.
In the center of the battle, within a crater over fifty meters in diameter, several medical ninjas were gathered around a robust ninja wearing a white turban and sunglasses, providing treatment.
Third Raikage A, his son, and several Cloud Village higher-ups stood around him with grave expressions.
Killer Bee?
The Eight Tails Jinchuriki?
Their assassination target was Killer Bee?
No way... which big shot is so ruthless!
