"Run and tell the Leaf Village that the Cloud Village attacked us!"
Kurenai's scream was intended to reveal the identity of her attackers.
And even if the young man cannot escape, his screams would be heard by the thousands of civilians in the area.
Would the ninjas of the Cloud Village be capable of starting a massacre to silence the matter?
Even if they dared, they wouldn't be able to kill all the civilians around, who would already know something was wrong and would escape.
Dozens or hundreds of civilians would definitely survive. And it only took one for their identities and actions to become known throughout the continent.
This would do 2 things.
Besides being despised by the world for massacring innocents when there was no war, which would seriously affect their village's missions, the Leaf Village would know where to look.
This was Kurenai's true objective: for the Leaf Village to rescue them.
Of course, if Kurenai thought of that, it was obvious that the cloud ninjas thought of it too.
"Catch him!"
Without their leader ordering them, the nearest ninjas from the Cloud Village rushed towards the young man who had suddenly appeared in the place.
"Watch out!" Hinata shouted from her spot.
The young woman with white eyes felt her heart tighten.
The young man who had freed her from the seal of the caged bird and given her the freedom she had so longed for was in danger.
I was worried.
Not only because dozens of cloud ninjas were heading towards him, but also because the young man had a low chakra reserve.
She could see it with her own eyes.
The young man's chakra reserve was small.
And even if he was skilled in Fuinjutsu, what could he do against so many enemies if his chakra reserves were smaller than that of an academy student?
They were not in a place properly prepared with seals so that the young man could defend himself.
Suddenly, several things happened simultaneously.
First, Hinata prepared to intervene.
Although the young woman lacked confidence in her strength, she could not stand idly by and watch while that young man was being hurt.
A few meters away from her, the Fourth Raikage was about to move and stop her.
I didn't know the young man who suddenly appeared, but if he dared to get involved in this, he must not be weak.
He wanted to fight him and prove his superiority.
But his priority was the young Hyuga girl. He couldn't just leave her like that and go off to fight.
He would escape.
Furthermore, he was the leader of the cloud village, and he couldn't handle everything alone. His subordinates had to do the minor tasks for him.
He would only get involved later if the enemy proved to be strong and his subordinates were unable to fight against him.
If the young man couldn't even defeat a group of Genin and Chunin, why bother?
!!!!!!
But Hinata and A stopped abruptly.
A suffocating pressure suddenly appeared, and they felt their knees almost buckle.
But in the end they held on.
And before you ask what happened, the situation at the place surprised them.
While the young woman with white eyes had her mouth open in surprise, A's face was now solemn.
And beyond them, Team 8 were also stunned by what they had just felt a moment ago and what they were seeing now.
What did they see?
The numerous fallen bodies of the cloud ninjas.
Not only those who jumped towards the young man on the roof of that building fell unconscious out of nowhere.
So were those cloud ninjas who stayed behind and let their comrades deal with the intruder.
Those who were in the air were unlucky.
Just as they jumped from one building to another and were in the air, they suddenly lost consciousness and fell, failing to reach the other building.
Instead, they hit the side walls of the buildings and fell to the ground.
20 or 30 meters high was nothing for a ninja. They usually fell hard to the ground in their battles.
But falling unconscious was another story.
They couldn't use chakra to protect their bodies as they usually do.
And although the others did not see what happened to them, the sound that was produced made it easy for him to guess that some heads were broken.
Only the sound of something breaking snapped them out of their stupor.
Everyone looked at the young man and wondered what had happened.
No, they did know what had happened.
They had felt a pressure on their minds that almost brought them to their knees. But it seemed to have left the cloud ninjas unconscious.
"¡Woof!"
"Awesome!" Kiba couldn't help but shout, along with Akamaru's bark showing that they were just as surprised as their master.
Shino kept his words to himself, showing his surprise with a single, gentle movement of his glasses using his fingers.
The soft hissing sound of the insects' wings also showed that they were disturbed.
And where are you?
The leader and teacher of Team 8 hadn't even closed her mouth after yelling for everyone to run before everything suddenly happened.
The surprise came too quickly and she didn't know how to express her thoughts.
The young man was stronger than he expected.
And although they had doubts about why he had appeared here, one thought appeared at the same time in the minds of Team 8.
'Were they saved?'
A little ways away from Team 8, Hinata and A had different thoughts.
While Hinata had a happy smile because her savior was okay, A had an ashen look.
Although the ninjas participating in this operation were untalented Genin and Chunin, they were still ninjas from the Cloud Village.
And in front of him, many of them died.
They didn't die in battle. Instead, they died pathetically, falling from a few dozen meters high while jumping from one building to another.
But what enraged the man the most was the humiliation he felt when he almost fell to his knees a moment ago.
He!
Ah, the Fourth Raikage, he had almost fallen to his knees before the enemy!
The humiliation she felt when remembering what she was about to do only fueled her anger more.
And then A moved.
Hinata's eyes snapped open.
His Byakugan saw it all again.
At one point the enemy was just a few meters away from her.
And the next instant, she was standing before the young man who freed her from the seal on her forehead.
And that wasn't all.
The enemy's chakra had exploded, and a thick layer of lightning had covered his body.
Team 8 also had their eyes open.
One second they were celebrating because they were saved, and the next they saw a figure crackling in blue lightning appear before the young man who had arrived to save them.
Kurenai felt her stomach sink.
He suddenly remembered that the enemy was the Fourth Raikage, one of the strongest men in the world.
In his mind, only the Hokage could be certain of defeating him. And he expected a young man to be able to save them?
However strong he may have seemed by knocking out so many Cloud ninjas without appearing to move, he was still very young and shouldn't have been able to face the Raikage.
And even if he was good at Fuinjutsu, the young man hadn't had enough time to create seals on the battlefield.
¡Bang!
But the future that Kurenai hoped would happen, in the end, did not happen.
In contrast, the red-eyed woman ended up with her mouth even wider open in amazement at seeing the young man in his place, without having moved a single centimeter.
And the Fourth Raikage?
The man suddenly disappeared from her sight.
¡BOOOOOM!
And she and Team 8 quickly turned their gaze toward the city wall, where a figure appeared embedded against the wall, causing cracks to spread.
Silence reigned in the place for a few seconds before several voices and shouts were heard, coming from civilians living in nearby buildings.
Besides the unconscious ninjas and Team 8 standing silent in shock, nearby civilians realized that a ninja battle was taking place and wisely began to evacuate.
Some were quieter than others, but the noise from all the families was enough to break the tranquility of the night.
While the civilians were escaping, Team 8 still didn't know what was happening.
Only Hinata had any idea of what had happened.
'He kicked him,' the young woman said, disbelief in her mind.
Although the Byakugan wasn't the Sharingan with its slow-motion vision, it was still a powerful ocular lineage that allowed the young Hyuga to see a glimpse of what happened.
