"Where is he?!" The Raikage jumped onto the building, looking left and right, then asked Toroi.
"There!"
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!" A loud shout suddenly came from the original small house, then countless blondes poured out of the windows.
As soon as the clones appeared, without orders, they started to run in random directions. Since war had been declared, no matter how they fought, it was still necessary to light up the map first.
"Little ones, kill him." The Raikage roared, clutching a clone's neck.
"Do you think they can catch up?" The clone, with a hoarse voice, squeezed out a sentence. The Raikage was currently the fastest in the ninja world. Naruto couldn't outrun him, but those underlings of his, except for the elite, could all go eat farts.
"Kid! Don't you dare" The clone cut him off, white smoke puffing from his mouth: "Is it hot?"
The Raikage applied more force, directly crushing the clone, sneering: "Child's play."
"Boom boom boom..." Several clones who were cornered exploded. However, there were too many clones, and too little chakra, only collapsing the nearby dirt wall and creating a small pit in the ground. Pursuit, explosion... for a time, the entire Cloud Village was in chaos. It took seven or eight minutes for the clones to be completely cleared.
The Raikage was strangling the last clone, roaring: "Where is the main body!!"
Seeing that he was sacrificing his life, the clone decided to betray the organization, saying: "Land of Wind." After ten seconds, he'd change locations, so go ahead; if you can catch up, I'll admit defeat.
His arm swung open, the clone was flung away, breaking the wall, and turned into smoke. The Raikage gritted his teeth: "Evasive coward!" After wasting so much time, it was just a clone, damn it!
"Mabui, go..."
"Raikage-sama, over there." Toroi suddenly pointed in the direction of the Cloud Village border. In his line of sight, he could clearly see a clone being teleported through the sewer. Unfortunately, it was too far; they couldn't make it. The clone put on a Fūjo Village white robe hat, making a hand seal: "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
In an instant, countless white robes spurted out, and the clone, just after appearing, spat white smoke from its mouth and rushed towards the Raikage Building. Just as the Raikage was intercepting them with his men, Toroi pointed again at the back of the Raikage Building: "Over there..."
"Darui, you go." The Raikage was like a god of war, slaughtering several clones who broke through the blockade, rushing towards him with fanaticism. "Allahu..." The clones didn't treat themselves like people at all, endlessly sacrificing themselves, looking as if they wouldn't stop until they blew up the Raikage Building.
Even if they couldn't blow up the Raikage Building, they would randomly find a defensive structure and hug it and blow themselves up. Since you're tearing it down yourself, might as well let me help you tear it down.
The Raikage's face was worse than finding half a fly in his meal. He shouted, "Mabui, go notify the Daimyo!"
On the other side, Naruto changed back into a large Akatsuki uniform, stuffed his underwear into his pocket, and teleported near the underground exchange. "You've come again." Seeing Naruto enter, the manager greeted him with a smile. This one's requests were always so unique that ordinary employees truly couldn't handle them.
Naruto handed him a piece of paper and said, "Yeah, I want to make a slingshot. These are the requirements. Can you do it?" The manager looked it over, pondered for a moment, and replied: "We can, but the materials are hard to get. It will take three days." This one's requests were really unique.
"Alright, how much is the deposit?" "Two million ryō." After paying the deposit, Naruto sent the clone to the Leaf Village to find Tenten. He himself teleported back to Jiraiya's side.
Jiraiya was poking at his scalp with the pen cap, racking his brains to deal with the draft. He casually asked: "Where'd you go?" He was trying to think of a good scene, but why couldn't he write it? What was this inexplicable panic? Naruto put the underwear in his bag and said: "Went to negotiate with the Raikage."
"It broke down, right?" Jiraiya curled his lip. With the Raikage's bad temper, negotiate? Heh.
"Yeah, so I could only agree to a fight to divide the spoils." "Fight with who? The Raikage!?" Jiraiya quickly sat up, looking at him in disbelief. You, a little brat who hasn't even learned Sage Mode, are going to fight the Raikage? What are you going to use, your head?
Naruto's eyes had an indescribable confidence, clenching his fists and saying calmly: "No, with Hidden Cloud." Jiraiya didn't understand, then thought of the Raikage's temper, and then Naruto's temper. If these two met, then...
Suddenly jumping up, grabbing Naruto's shoulders, he shouted: "You declared war on Hidden Cloud!?" You'd better not nod, or else... "Mhm." Naruto nodded.
"You!!" Jiraiya was about to explode, but a certain twin-tailed woman flashed through his mind. Since it had already happened, the Cloud Village side must have some movement. If Tsunade knew about this, and it wasn't from him, then... "Quick, take me to Tsunade."
Naruto waved his hand and opened a portal, letting the clone take him inside, saying: "Let the clone take you. I have something else to do."
"You're not going?!" Such a big thing and you, the involved party, aren't going? "No. Tell her that the Leaf Village doesn't need to participate in this." One person does one thing. Naruto didn't want to involve others. Besides, what, was the Leaf Village going to help him fight the Cloud Village? It was good enough if they didn't imprison him.
"You just wait." Leaving these words, Jiraiya disappeared. Naruto left a clone and teleported away. He'd be a fool to wait for you to come back. On the afternoon of the third day, the entire ninja world's atmosphere changed. Through spies, most ninja villages learned of Naruto's actions, as well as the Raikage having a meeting with the Land of Lightning's Daimyo.
The Raikage had always had thoughts about Konoha, but he had no reason. Now Naruto had given him a reason. Regardless of whether Naruto represented himself or the village, he was from the Leaf Village, and he was a Jinchuriki. Wasn't this reason enough to attack? It was fine if he didn't attack; just give me him, and we'll resolve this peacefully.
A reason was found, and even because of the blasting that lasted all night and disturbed the people, the public opinion was surprisingly high, just short of convincing the Daimyo. Realizing the general content of the negotiations, anyone with eyes could see that if it wasn't handled well, it would be the Fourth War.
For a time, every major village fell into a state of preparation. All this was because of Naruto's sentence, "If you say so, then that's what it is."
Tsunade pulled the fist she had slammed into the table and said angrily: "Those guys actually said to exchange for another Jinchuriki? As if the Nine Tails is so easy to handle? And that disciple of yours, he actually defied orders? If it weren't for yout disciple, he'd have been declared a missing-nin by now!"
"Calm down, calm down. Didn't he not get the news? How can you call that defection?" Jiraiya consoled. Actually, he was also depressed. Three days ago, Naruto had sent him over and never came back to pick him up.
At that time, he had realized something was wrong, but no matter how he lit the oil lamp, it was useless. Only at the beginning did a clone send a note, telling him not to worry and cherish their time together, then committed suicide and disappeared.
Giving him a glare, Tsunade sneered: "Couldn't she write the message with a lamp? He wouldn't sense it?"
"Maybe he fell asleep?" "You're always on his side. And the Hyuga girl. She even told me she accidentally dropped the lamp? Do you think I'm three years old?"
"Maybe..."
Bang bang bang..." Fragmented knocks and a secret code rang out. Tsunade knew who was coming and said: "Enter."
Kakashi pushed open the door and said: "Naruto has appeared."
"Where?" "He left with Tenten."
"That evil disciple..." "Forget it. Since we can't find him, Kakashi, you make a trip to Cloud Village. Give this letter to the Raikage, and ask him if he wants to talk. If he wants to talk, then we'll talk nicely. If he doesn't want to talk, I'm not just there for looks!"
"Yes." Kakashi took the letter and left. Tsunade turned to mock: "The little girl had just returned to the village and got taken away. Look at you. You've been left out for three days."
"Chug chug chug..." Jiraiya depressed drank the wine.
On the other side, several members of the Akatsuki organization were looking at the red dot on the map. And with Zetsu's hands constantly moving, the red dots were increasing. Through White Zetsu, they knew Jiraiya was not by the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's side. Now that the situation had started to become chaotic, they had a chance to act, but now a problem arose.
Which of these three hundred-odd blondes running around the world was the main body?
