"So, I was right. The Konoha Shinobi did launch a surprise attack on our camp."
Ōnoki said to the Third Kazekage, the Third Raikage, and Hanzō of the Salamander, his face pale.
He had recovered from Shin's Genjutsu, but his mind was still wounded. He needed ti to heal.
"As expected of the Tsuchikage. You predicted Konoha's movents perfectly," Hanzō said, impressed.
"I expect everyone to give their best effort. We must annihilate the Konoha forces this ti," Ōnoki said.
He didn't want anyone holding back.
"This is our only chance. Don't waste it."
The Kazekage and the others understood. They wouldn't hold back. They led the Suna forces into battle.
...
The Konoha Shinobi had entered the Iwa camp, but it was a trap. The four villages had them surrounded.
"Sakumo, I have a mission for you. You must complete it."
Hiruzen said to Sakumo Hatake with a serious expression.
"Your orders, Hokage-sama."
"Break out and inform Tsunade of our situation. Tell her to ask Uzumaki Shin for help."
Hiruzen suspected Shin had seen through his sche. Shin might be young, but he was intelligent.
If Hiruzen ordered Shin to help, Shin might refuse. After all, he had refused to participate in this attack.
So he had to play the emotional card and have Tsunade ask Shin for help. He was confident Tsunade could convince Shin.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Sakumo accepted the mission without hesitation.
"Orochimaru, Jiraiya, you two will cover Sakumo's escape," Hiruzen said to his disciples.
Even Sakumo couldn't escape this encirclent without help.
He was strong, but he couldn't ignore the attacks of so many Shinobi.
And the enemy also had powerful fighters. If Sakumo was stopped, the others wouldn't be able to escape.
Orochimaru and Jiraiya didn't say anything. They used their Jutsu to create an opening for Sakumo.
"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!"
Orochimaru unleashed his signature Jutsu, summoning countless snakes. Even Jiraiya backed away in disgust.
"That guy's Jutsu is getting creepier and creepier. Where does he even learn this stuff?"
Jiraiya grumbled.
But he knew this wasn't the ti to complain. He had to help Sakumo escape.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Jiraiya unleashed a massive fireball, incinerating several Iwa Shinobi.
The Iwa Shinobi countered with Earth Release, blocking Jiraiya's attack.
Sakumo seized the opportunity and used the 'Lightning Flicker Technique' to enhance his speed, breaking through the enemy lines.
The so-called 'Lightning Flicker Technique' involves using Lightning Release chakra to stimulate one's cells, allowing for a short burst of extre speed.
He had developed this technique himself. However, it also put a great strain on his body.
He wouldn't use it unless it was absolutely necessary.
Sakumo successfully escaped and rushed towards the Konoha camp.
...
He soon arrived. Hiruzen had chosen him for this task because of his speed.
He found Tsunade and explained the situation.
Tsunade's expression turned grim. She imdiately went to find Shin.
Thankfully, Shin hadn't gone out to train.
"Tsunade, what's the matter?" Shin asked.
"Shin, it's an ergency! The Sandai's forces were ambushed! They're surrounded by four villages! Only you can save them!"
"Ambushed?" Shin was surprised.
He had thought the attack would be a success. He hadn't expected Ōnoki to outsmart them.
"Shin, this is not the ti to hold grudges."
Tsunade knew Shin was angry at Hiruzen, but this was a matter of life and death for Konoha.
"Looks like I have to save Konoha again."
Shin didn't refuse. Not just because of the Divine Replication Card, but also because of Tsunade's plea.
"I'll go now."
"I'm coming with you," Tsunade said.
"No, if you leave, what if Ōnoki and the others attack the camp? I can handle this. And you two, stay here."
Shin stopped Kushina and Mikoto from following.
"Be careful, Shin. If you can't win, run. Don't be reckless," Tsunade said.
"Yeah, Shin, if you can't win, run! If you die, I won't forgive you!" Kushina yelled.
"Kushina, what are you saying?" Mikoto glared at her. Kushina covered her mouth.
"Shin-nii, be careful," Konan said.
"Don't worry. Those weaklings can't even touch ."
Shin was exaggerating, but he wasn't stupid enough to just stand there and let them attack him.
He left with Sakumo Hatake, but Sakumo's speed on the way was a bit slow.
He was fast compared to other Shinobi, but not compared to Shin.
...
"They really are trapped."
Shin arrived at the battlefield. Even in the darkness, he could see the situation clearly.
Flas lit up the night sky. And Shin had excellent eyesight. He could see clearly even without activating his Sharingan.
