After the transformation technique was lifted, the Iwa nin returned to his original appearance, which was Ayane.

She came to a rock and sat down, and took out the scroll she had stolen from the Third Raikage. According to the information of the general, the amber purifying bottle, the precious phantom left by the Sage of Six Paths, was sealed inside.

In the amber bottle, there is a large amount of ore that the Third Raikage and others have worked hard to harvest in the Kingdom of Earth, as well as many precious chakra metals unique to the Kingdom of Earth.

But from now on, all these things belong to her.

"However, that Raikage is really thick-skinned and thick-skinned. He can still jump around after eating my divine air attack. He's not an easy guy."

So far, there has never been a ninja who survived being hit by her divine air strike from the front.

The Hyuga clan's soft fist directly hits the internal organs of the human body and uses acupuncture points to block the flow of chakra to the enemy.

Even when Liuli fought with her, he often kept a distance, used large ninjutsu to cover his attacks, and did not dare to get close to her easily.

Close combat with ninjas from the Hyuga clan is a very dangerous behavior.

In particular, the soft fist she developed - Shen Kong Strike, is extremely powerful, especially extremely destructive to the inside of the human body. In theory, as long as one is hit by Shen Kong Strike, one will immediately die due to the explosion of internal organs.

However, the Third Raikage did not fall down because of this. He only vomited blood when he ate it head-on. Ayane could imagine that although the Third Raikage's internal organs were not as strong as his outer layer of flesh and blood, they were certainly at an inhuman level.

But after eating it, it must have been very uncomfortable.

As for escape, it was impossible. In such an encirclement, locked tightly by countless sentient ninjas, more and more Iwagakure ninjas gathered, all in order to definitely kill the Third Raikage.

Even without her sudden intervention, defeat would have been inevitable sooner or later. Her appearance and sneak attack only accelerated the opponent's death rate, but the result would still not change.

"How long can that Raikage last? I'm really looking forward to it. Let's take a nap here first and then get up and see."

The sun quickly set and then quickly rose into the sky again.

Before you know it, a day has passed.

The Iwa ninjas all remained silent, staring at the standing body in the field.

The Third Raikage.

His body was unscathed, not a single scar was left, and the blood at the corner of his mouth had dried.

He stood there motionless, the chakra on his body was still shining with lightning, and his long light yellow hair was flying against the dusty background.

There was no breathing at all, and although there was still a fine flow of lightning in his eyes, his eyes became extremely dim, all showing the fact that the Third Raikage was already a cold corpse.

Ohnoki flew down from the air, his eyes fell on Raikage's body, his expression was slightly complicated, and then he sighed.

Seeing the third Raikage, Ai Zhan, die here, he inevitably felt a little bit sad.

If one day he dies like this, will his body and self-esteem be trampled on by his enemies?

But...this is the price of becoming a ninja.

It is also the life of a ninja.

As one of the Five Shadows, it is a heavy realization that must be shouldered.

On the battlefield, the exhausted cheers of many Iwagakure ninjas could be heard.

They could not understand Ohnoki's thoughts, but they understood that they used their own power to successfully defeat Kumogakure's Raikage, the legendary Five Shadow Ninja.

This achievement is enough to make them feel proud and proud.

"Take it back."

Onoki asked two of his trusted jounin to come up, pick up the body of the Third Raikage, and return to Iwagakure Village.

"Is it finally over?"

On a mountain rock seven or eight kilometers away, Ayane witnessed the entire battle. The process and results were so thrilling that she was a little stunned.

The tactics adopted by Iwagakure this time were extremely eye-catching. Although the main body of the Iwagakure ninjas participating in the encirclement and suppression operation were chuunin, they combined their weak strength and successfully defeated the Five Shadows through a seamless earth escape attack.

The thunder shadow of one.

There is absolutely no element of luck in this. It can only be said that Iwagakure's Earth Escape Combat Ninjutsu does have its merits.

Even so, according to Ayane's observation, even with such excellent earth escape tactics, many Iwagakure ninjas died gloriously in the battle with the Third Raikage, and countless others were injured.

If she hadn't intervened on the way and hit the Raikage with a divine air strike, the number of Iwagakure ninja victims would have been even greater.

"Thunder Escape can restrain Earth Escape, but Earth Escape can limit the performance of Thunder Escape Ninjas by changing the combat environment... It's really hard to say who will restrain who. It's really a wonderful battle."

Ayane sighed like this, sincerely praising the battle she witnessed.

The Raikage's fierce offensive and defensive thunder escape ninjutsu and the combination of the Iwagakure ninja's earth escape tactics are both top-notch in one field.

The battle between both sides opened Ayane's eyes.

After the battle, the Iwagakure ninjas began to retreat, and there was no point in Ayane staying here to watch.

"Okay, now you can catch rats with peace of mind. The job of a rat catcher is really troublesome."

The incident with the Third Raikage was just a minor episode for Ayane.

Ninja battles happen every day, and even the Five Kage have a high risk of sacrifice on the battlefield.

The second Hokage of Konoha, the second Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village, the second Mizukage of Kirigakure Village, and the second Raikage of Kumogakure all died on the battlefield.

◎

The third Raikage died gloriously in the Earth Kingdom... This news was officially announced through Iwagakure Village, which naturally caused an uproar in the ninja world.

After Iwagakure's personal verification, this matter is almost certain to be confirmed.

Since the start of the Third Ninja War, this is the second Five Kages to have an accident.

The first was the missing Kazekage. Although Sunagakure Village tried its best to conceal it at first, due to the long absence of the Kazekage and the operation of spies from various countries, the news did not receive a positive response from Sunagakure.

But he also acquiesced to this fact.

The second one is the Third Raikage.

Compared to the Third Kazekage who is missing and may still be alive, the Third Raikage is definitely dead.

The last time the Five Kage died directly in battle was during the First Ninja War.

Five Shadows were killed in battle. This has not happened for nearly 20 to 30 years.

As the first of the Five Kages to die in battle in so many years, the death of the Third Raikage is naturally of great significance.

Not to mention Kumogakure's anger, the Iwagakure ninjas who killed the Third Raikage were so powerful that they undoubtedly brought greater pressure to Konoha.

Moreover, while fighting against the powerful Konoha, even Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, could not take care of himself, while fighting against Kumogakure, and successfully used a scheme to kill the Third Raikage... This undoubtedly proves the power of Iwagakure Village.

military force.

When the war subsides and Iwagakure embraces it, there will probably be more big businessmen than usual cooperating.

Even Sunagakure, who was temporarily an ally, felt the pressure doubled due to Iwagakure's series of tough operations.

"Lei, Lord Raikage is dead?"

When the Kumogakure jonins who had safely returned to the Land of Thunder heard the news, their minds felt like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, their bodies stiffened in place, and their expressions became dull.

"Why, how could this happen? How could Lord Raikage die? Is this a lie?"

These jounin had expressions of disbelief and sadness on their faces. Even now they still can't believe that the Third Raikage, whom they respected, would die on the land of Earth Country.

"Although it is unbelievable, this is an established fact. Raikage-sama...he did die in the line of duty."

Kumogakure Chunin, who was responsible for the report, closed his eyes and showed a sigh and sadness, expressing regret for the sacrifice of the Third Raikage.

But things have already happened, and there is no point in continuing to explore at this time.

Because the Third Raikage is dead, the previously planned grand strategy also needs to be changed to a certain extent.

"Damn it! We shamelessly abandoned Lord Raikage and ran away..."

One Jonin's knees collapsed, his face collapsed, tears flowed out uncontrollably, and his fists hit the ground, bleeding.

The other jonin couldn't bear it and choked one after another.

"Raikage-sama must have discovered Iwagakure's conspiracy, so he decided to break off the throne alone. In order to allow us to leave the Kingdom of Earth safely, he did it alone..."

That must be the case.

Their wise and powerful Raikage-sama must have realized that something was wrong, so he decided to stay alone in the post, just to allow his subordinates to evacuate safely, and chose to sacrifice himself.

This righteousness and deep love for their subordinates made the Kumogakure jounin who survived and returned to the Land of Thunder suddenly feel ashamed and embarrassed to meet their colleagues in the village who were waiting for good news.

They are a shame to the entire Kumogakure.

"What's the situation in the village now?"

After grieving, a jounin wiped away his tears, his eyes were red, and asked the informant.

"There is a lot of excitement in the village right now, and many jounin are out of control, saying they want Iwagakure to pay with blood. Regarding whether to start a head-on war with Iwagakure, we have to hold several meetings a day to discuss it."

The communication ninja briefly described the situation in the village.
