On the border of the Land of Lightning, where it meets the Land of Hot Water, stood a military fortress!
At this time, Dodai and the other retreating Kumogakure ninja were gathering here.
Looking at the returning ninja, Dodai's mood sank to the bottom.
When they set out, they had more than five thousand people.
Upon their return, however, there were less than three thousand.
That is to say, more than two thousand people were left behind forever in the land of the Land of Fire.
What made him even more worried and anxious was that, to this day, the Fourth Raikage, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki had not yet returned!
He didn't know what their situation was now!!
Just as Dodai was lost in thought, a shout came!
"Bee, you're finally back!!"
"Boss Bee is back!!"
Dodai came back to his senses and looked towards Killer Bee!
He found that it was only Killer Bee alone, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
He quickly asked: "Bee, why are you alone? Where is Lord Fourth? Where is Yugito??"
"What?? My big brother isn't back yet??"
Killer Bee's face changed drastically!
You must know, the Fourth Raikage's speed was much faster than his.
Even if he left first, if the Fourth Raikage wanted to leave, he would definitely have returned to the Kumogakure military fortress earlier than him.
"Bee, what on earth happened? What happened back there??"
Hearing Killer Bee's answer, Dodai's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling and quickly asked Killer Bee about the situation at that time.
"After big brother gave the order to retreat, he first went to rescue me. While I was retreating, big brother went to rescue Yugito!!!"
"Could it be... that when big brother went to rescue Yugito, he was blocked by Uchiha Shin??"
Killer Bee looked dazed!
"If that's the case, then we're in trouble!!"
In that instant, Dodai's face became extremely ugly.
Killer Bee came back to his senses and immediately turned to walk out of the military fortress.
"Bee, where are you going?"
Dodai asked quickly.
"I'm going back to save big brother!"
Killer Bee said in a deep voice.
"Nonsense! It's been several hours. It's too late to go back now!!"
"Now that Lord Fourth is missing, and Yugito is also missing, you can't have any more mishaps!"
Dodai said quickly.
"Are we just going to ignore big brother and the others?"
Killer Bee asked back angrily.
"How could we ignore them? I'll send people into the Land of Fire right now to investigate the situation of Lord Fourth and Yugito!"
Dodai said quickly.
After a few more words to calm Killer Bee down, he immediately selected dozens of Kumogakure ninja who had been sent out to rob and plunder, were still in good physical condition, and were relatively shrewd, to infiltrate the Land of Fire again.
...
Meanwhile, by the time Uchiha Shin's shadow clone led the Konoha army back to the main body's location, several hours had passed.
At this time, the sky was getting dark.
Uchiha Shin had a sealing team ninja seal Yugito's chakra.
Shiranui Genma asked: "Lord Fifth, what should we do with the bodies of these Kumogakure ninja??"
"Keep the Fourth Raikage's body for now. Burn all the others!"
Uchiha Shin said in a deep voice.
As the Kage of a village, the Fourth Raikage's body, even in death, still had great value.
Not to mention other things, just selling the Fourth Raikage's body to Kumogakure could fetch a high price!
"Yes!!"
Soon, the nearby bodies, as well as the bodies the Konoha ninja had collected along the way, were gathered and burned.
And the Fourth Raikage's body was also properly collected!!
"It's getting dark now!"
"Everyone hasn't had a good rest since yesterday. They're all very tired now. It's time to find a place to rest."
"Inaho, is there a place for us to rest nearby?"
Uchiha Shin said.
Mainly, he didn't want to camp in this forest!
"If we continue forward, ten kilometers away, there is a road on the right. After another twenty kilometers or so, there seems to be a small town!"
Uchiha Inaho said after thinking for a moment.
"A thirty-kilometer journey can be reached in half an hour! It's not very far!"
"In that case, let's go to that small town to rest for the night!"
Uchiha Shin said in a deep voice.
"Yes!!"
Then, the army set off towards the small town!
Not long after the Konoha army left, a group of Kumogakure ninja appeared here.
After searching the area, they quickly met up.
"We didn't find Lord Fourth!!"
"We didn't find Yugito either!"
"But, over there, I found a place where bodies were burned."
Just then...
"Could it be..."
"Shut up!!!"
Before the man could finish his sentence, he was immediately interrupted by his companion.
A figure emerged from the ground behind them.
"Who??"
The moment the person appeared, they were immediately detected by Kumogakure's sensory ninja.
With a sharp cry, he turned to look at the person.
The other Kumogakure ninja also became alert and looked in the direction the sensory ninja was looking.
The next moment, they saw a woman with a mole under the corner of her mouth standing there.
"A woman?"
Although they were a little surprised, the Kumogakure ninja did not let down their guard.
"My name is Fufu. I have been waiting for you all for a long time!!"
Fufu said in a charming and seductive voice.
"You knew we were coming?"
All the Kumogakure ninja's faces changed drastically, and they became even more vigilant.
"I didn't know when you would come, but my master asked me to give you a message!"
Fufu said.
"Who is your master?"
A Kumogakure ninja asked.
"Who else could it be? Of course, it's Lord Fifth Hokage!"
Fufu giggled.
"You are a Konoha ninja!!"
A murderous aura surged in the hearts of all the Kumogakure ninja.
"I'm probably not a Konoha ninja yet. At most, I can only be considered a retainer of Lord Fifth."
Fufu looked at the murderous group and, unafraid, giggled.
"What message did the Fifth Hokage have for you to bring us??"
The leader of this Kumogakure team suppressed the killing intent in his heart and asked in a deep voice.
"Then you'd better listen carefully. I'll only say it once!"
Fufu said with a charming smile.
"Your Fourth Raikage is already dead! If you want to ransom his body, then send someone to Hundred Flowers Town tomorrow to negotiate!"
Hundred Flowers Town was the small town where Uchiha Shin and the others had gone.
"What??"
Hearing this, the faces of the Kumogakure ninja changed drastically.
This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for them.
"You're lying to us!!!"
A Kumogakure ninja questioned angrily.
"I'll only say it once. Believe it or not, it's up to you. If you don't want to ransom the Fourth Raikage's body, we don't care either. It just so happens that Lord Fifth still wants to study the Fourth Raikage's body!"
"Damn it..."
The Kumogakure ninja looked furious.
"Then what about Yugito??"
The Kumogakure leader suppressed the anger in his heart and asked again.
"Her? She is already a prisoner of our Lord Fifth!"
Fufu's charming voice let out a light laugh.
