Chapter 815: A Mere Raikage!
The Central High Tower of Rōran has a total of sixty floors and stands two hundred meters tall.
Its Height has reached that of skyscrapers in the Modern World, and this kind of Building is truly unique in the Ninja World at this time.
Back then, the Sand Village Rogue Ninja, Hundred Legs, after manifesting as Minister Anrokuzan, although he did indeed enslave the Citizens of Rōran to manufacture Puppetry for him, it must be admitted that he also brought many things to Rōran.
Now, the people of Rōran can enjoy Heating, running water, Electric Light, and even Elevators and apartments in this Desert. They truly have him to thank for using Dragon Veins and Puppetry to build all of this.
Of course.
Minister Anrokuzan's Operation Method was not smart enough. He could have completely made the Citizens of Rōran willingly work for him, for Rōran, and for themselves, yet he chose the most foolish forced Slavery.
This is a limitation in thinking.
And on the very top floor of this Central High Tower is the Main Hall used by the Queen when meeting outsiders.
At this moment, Sara sat upon the Throne, calmly looking at the four Cloud Hidden Ninja who had suddenly appeared in the Palace Hall like phantoms.
"I never expected that you, the Queen of Rōran, would still be here."
One of the Chunin, wearing a black shirt and a white single-shoulder coat, held a dark Kunai with Sharpness in his hand and said, looking at Sara with great surprise.
"As the Queen, I naturally stay with my Nation."
After speaking, a cold smile appeared on her face: "Moreover, you are Cloud Hidden Ninja, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, not those savage, lowly, damned bandits. I have nothing to worry about, do I?"
"..."
The four Cloud Hidden Ninja's faces immediately darkened, but they didn't know how to respond. It was the leading Chunin who reacted and mocked, "If that's the case, why did you have your Citizens evacuate beforehand?"
"Because I thought the attackers were those savage, lowly, damned bandits, which led to the current misunderstanding. But who would have thought that dignified Cloud Hidden Ninja, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, would appear here, wouldn't you say?"
Sara immediately retorted without politeness.
This completely stumped the Cloud Hidden Chunin. His eloquence was no match for hers.
But it didn't matter, the opponent's life and death were in his hands!
"Oh, Queen Lord, that's just how the world is. No matter how eloquent you are, without Strength, you are still a Lamb waiting to be slaughtered. I advise you to be a little gentler, perhaps then you might be favored by some Lord in our country~"
"Hahahahaha!"
For a moment, the Solemn and spacious Main Hall was filled with the unrestrained laughter of the four Cloud Hidden Ninja.
This made Sara on the Throne extremely ashamed and angry. She subconsciously clenched her small fists tightly, yet she was helpless, only able to glare at them, gnashing her teeth.
"I want to see your Raikage! I want to ask why you attacked my Rōran without cause! Has the dignified Cloud Hidden Village also started engaging in banditry!"
Hearing this, the four Cloud Hidden Ninja stopped laughing and looked at each other.
After all, Sara was a Queen of a Nation. If she requested to see Raikage-sama, they would definitely be responsible for relaying the message. Otherwise, if something went wrong, they would definitely be the ones who were unlucky.
"Yageyi, go and Report!"
The Cloud Hidden Chunin finally gave the Order to one of the Genin.
Although the person named Yageyi showed a displeased Expression on his face, he still honestly agreed and quickly left through the broken Window.
"Then, Queen Lord, please wait quietly for Raikage-sama's reply."
After speaking, the Cloud Hidden Chunin put his Kunai back into the Ninja Tool Pouch on his leg, then leaned against a nearby Stone Pillar and closed his eyes to rest.
They had confirmed that there was no one else in Lou Lan City besides this Queen, and outside the city were Raikage-sama and their Large Force, so they felt they could rest for a while.
Ever since Raikage-sama decided to launch an Attack while Sunagakure had lost the Third Kazekage, they had gone around a large half circle along the coastline of the Ninja World Continent.
Not to mention the journey from Cloud Hidden Village out of the Land of Lightning.
They had to travel by Ship via the sea route, passing the Whirlpool Country Peninsula, reaching the Land of Tea south of the Land of Fire, and then using the Land of Tea as a springboard to advance by running on the Sea, infiltrating the territory of the Land of Wind.
Next was the Combat with the layers of intercepting Sand Ninja. Fortunately, Third Raikage-sama always personally led the charge, like a Raijin of utmost Sharpness, tearing through all the Sand Ninja blocking their path.
Unfortunately, less than fifty kilometers away from Sunagakure, they were blocked by that Rasa with endless Sand Gold.
Considering that their side's Water and Food were insufficient, Raikage-sama had no choice but to announce a retreat, but he didn't expect to conveniently destroy Rōran, this Small Country, along the way.
Actually, he felt there was no need for National Destruction. He figured Rōran wouldn't dare refuse to provide Clean Water and Food and a temporary resting place.
However, since Raikage-sama had already decided this, he, a mere Chunin, had no Qualification to raise objections.
It was just that his Body and mind were indeed quite tired.
If only he could soak in a Hot Spring, then hold a soft body and have a good sleep...
"Hmm?"
However, the next second, he suddenly felt his Throat felt cold. His Body jolted, about to react, but it was already too late. The cold Touch Sensation sliced past!
His Adam's Apple, which had been moving, was easily cut open by an invisible sharp blade, and warm and scarlet Blood immediately flowed out.
"Uh, ah----"
He wanted to shout something, but the surging blood blocked his windpipe, preventing sound. The last Screen Feed he saw with his violently trembling Pupil was the scene of the other two Genin also being Assassinated.
As for Substitution Jutsu, this basic Ninjutsu is just an Illusion that instantly swaps one's own Position with a certain object through High-Speed Movement and Invisibility Technique.
This means it requires prior preparation and has a higher success rate only if the opponent doesn't possess strong Sensory Ability.
It is not a life-saving Divine Skill that allows one to escape at any time by pressing a button like in a certain game.
This type of Ninjutsu does exist.
That is Izanagi, one of the Mangekyo Sharingan Dojutsu.
But this Cloud Hidden Chunin couldn't understand how there could be enemies in Rōran?
This question, he could only take to the Pure Land to ask the Sage of Six Paths...
"You!"
Sara, in shock, Stand Up from the Throne, looking at the six black-clothed Ninja slowly appearing from the Air.
And the three Cloud Hidden Ninja who had been smugly moments before were desperately clutching their Throats and struggling in Despair at their feet. Not long after, they lay in a Pool of Blood, becoming still, with occasional slight twitching in their Bodies.
"Very good, it seems as expected, no need to worry about normal Communication."
Hotei said to Sara. His Expression and tone were very serious and earnest, giving people a sense of reliable Safety.
"What happened here, I have roughly understood from your previous Dialogue."
"So, this Rōran Queen, I think you and your Nation currently greatly need our help. How about it? Do you want to Employ the Ninja of our Sea Ninja Village?"
"Sea Ninja Village..." Sara felt a bit disappointed in her Heart.
For a moment just now, she had thought it was the Ninja from Konohagakure coming to save her again. Then she shook her head and gave a bitter smile repeatedly.
"Forget it. Outside the city are over three thousand Cloud Hidden Ninja, and even the Third Raikage is there. A Small Ninja Village like yours cannot afford to provoke them. Quickly escape."
She had never heard of any Sea Ninja Village, so she naturally regarded it as some unknown Small Ninja Village.
"That won't do! Looking at the current Situation, whether you Employ us or not, we will have to cross paths with those Cloud Hidden Village Ninja!"
Hotei looked through the broken window at the Sky outside the city and revealed a cold smile.
The World Government's purpose is the Conquest of the entire Ninja World. How could they avoid it just because they encountered a mere Raikage?
