The moment the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki and the Fourth Mizukage Yagura descended, the previously conflicted Fourth Raikage A suddenly became ecstatic.
"Hahahahaha! Uchiha Feng, didn't expect this, did you!? At such a critical moment, Ōnoki and Yagura have actually arrived here!"
A burst into laughter, his face filled with excitement.
Although he alone was not a match for Uchiha Feng, with Ōnoki and Yagura present, things would be completely different.
More importantly, with the two of them here, they could capture Ning Feng on the spot and divide up the Rain Village completely.
Without Uchiha Feng guarding it, Rain Village would become the safest prey in the entire ninja world.
The more A thought about it, the more excited he became. In his eyes, Ōnoki and Yagura had arrived at the perfect moment.
While A was still immersed in these thoughts, Ōnoki and Mizukage Yagura had already slowly walked toward the Kumogakure elite ninjas.
Because everyone's attention was focused on Uchiha Feng, no one noticed anything unusual. They allowed the two Kage to approach without suspicion.
To the Kumogakure elites, Ōnoki and Yagura were comrades who had come to fight alongside them.
However—
Soon a sensory-type Kumogakure ninja sensed something wrong and immediately shouted:
"Get away from the Tsuchikage and the Mizukage! Their bodies are filled with Explosion Release chakra!"
"Explosion Release chakra!?"
"Explosion Release chakra!?"
The moment those words fell, countless Kumogakure elites turned pale and hurriedly scattered, their eyes filled with shock and terror.
Under their horrified gazes, the bodies of Ōnoki and Yagura began to swell and distort, as if they could explode at any moment.
And if they exploded—
It would be the kind of explosion capable of destroying the entire Kumogakure.
Seeing this scene, A clenched his fists tightly. His eyes filled with fierce killing intent as he activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
But even so, the Fourth Raikage didn't dare make a reckless move.
One wrong action might provoke the young man floating in the sky.
Who would have thought that the very figures who had brought hope to Kumogakure—Ōnoki and Yagura—were actually transformed clones created by Ning Feng, injected with Explosion Release chakra?
It was impossible to imagine the terrifying power if those chakras detonated.
Looking at the terrified Kumogakure elites below, Ning Feng simply shrugged.
In truth, the Ōnoki and Yagura figures infused with Explosion Release chakra were his shadow clones using transformation jutsu.
Their purpose was to provide an additional layer of insurance.
If the Explosion Release chakra planted around the village failed to detonate, these two "Kage" would explode instead and wipe everything out.
After witnessing this carefully arranged trap, A finally understood one thing clearly—
Uchiha Feng had come fully prepared.
There was no room for luck.
If A had acted recklessly just moments earlier, he and all the Kumogakure elites might already have been blown into pieces.
"How terrifying…"
At this moment, A's hands were trembling slightly from fear.
If anyone had seen the proud Fourth Raikage displaying such fear, they would have found it impossible to reconcile this image with the usual domineering Raikage.
"Fine… whatever you say goes."
"All your demands… I accept them!"
At this moment, A completely surrendered.
His voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
The Kumogakure elites who had previously been filled with rage and ready to attack Ning Feng immediately calmed down.
Some even secretly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.
After all—
One wrong move, and they would have met the King of Hell.
Seeing A finally submit, Ning Feng curled his lips slightly and casually threw out two prepared documents, which floated toward A.
The proud Fourth Raikage barely even read the contents before signing his name hastily.
After signing, he simply stood there in silence.
It was the first time in his life that A had signed such a humiliating treaty.
Yet no matter how humiliating it was, he had no choice but to endure it.
"Not bad."
"Oh, and I'll be taking the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki with me as well!"
Ning Feng chuckled and nodded with satisfaction.
Then he grabbed the unconscious Gyūki and headed straight toward Rain Village, returning with a full harvest.
Even Ning Feng hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.
Not only had he successfully intimidated Kumogakure, but he had also prevented them from forming a joint army with the other villages.
But more than anything else, the biggest gain this time was the Eight-Tails.
Among all the tailed beasts, aside from the Nine-Tails with its massive chakra reserves, the Eight-Tails Gyūki also possessed incredibly enormous chakra.
At this moment, Ning Feng already had Four-Tails, Five-Tails, Eight-Tails, and Nine-Tails inside him.
The amount of chakra those tailed beasts provided was unimaginable.
Although the Eight-Tails wasn't as powerful as the Nine-Tails, it could still significantly boost his combat strength.
Right now, Ning Feng was even more eager to try something—
What would it feel like if he merged the chakra of all the tailed beasts together?
Just imagining it felt terrifying.
At the entrance of Rain Village, Nagato and Konan were still quietly waiting.
However, from far away, Ning Feng noticed a familiar figure sneaking around.
That person was none other than—
Orochimaru.
But compared to Ning Feng's surprise at seeing Orochimaru, Orochimaru himself was even more shocked.
Especially when he looked at the magnificent and prosperous Rain Village before him, he stood there completely stunned.
After all—
Back when the legendary Three Sannin first made their names across the ninja world, Rain Village had been nothing more than a run-down little village.
It didn't even have a proper ninja hall.
But now…
Rain Village's grandeur and prosperity had surpassed even Sunagakure, one of the Five Great Villages.
And what this meant—
No one understood it more clearly than Orochimaru himself.
