The Fourth Raikage's entire body unleashed a massive surge of lightning, his hair standing on end, and his Lightning Feather Robe intensified, expanding outward, flickering faintly with electric light in the air, looking fierce and intimidating, his face becoming utterly ferocious.
He shouted angrily at Onoki, who was hovering in the sky.
His father's death on the battlefield, followed by the desecration of his corpse by the Hidden Rock, was something he absolutely could not tolerate.
"Hehe, just as hot-headed as your father. Whether you can retrieve your father's corpse depends on your skills. In this cruel world, the weak have no voice."
"You old bastard! I'll kill you!"
Just as the Fourth Raikage was about to charge forward, Dodai came to his side and said:
"Please calm down, Raikage-sama. There's no foothold in the air, and it's easy to be hit by the Dust Style. If that jutsu hits, death is certain."
Dodai looked up at Onoki, displaying a look of caution.
"Dodai from the Hidden Cloud? This is a troublesome guy."
Onoki frowned.
He then looked into the distance, where it was about time for action.

After clearing away a few patrolling Hidden Cloud Village Ninjas on the way, with no Fourth Raikage blocking the path, they advanced swiftly towards the Hidden Cloud's supply point in the heart of the island.
Although the patrol routes differed somewhat from a while ago, in front of the Byakugan, no patrol circle could be considered flawless.
"From this position, the perception ninjas stationed at the supply point should be able to sense us."
Ayane muttered to herself.
Sure enough, there was an unreasonable commotion among the Hidden Cloud Ninjas ahead, and they rushed towards her side.
Based on the Chakra reactions feeding back to her field of view, among these Hidden Cloud Ninjas, although several Jonin-level ninjas were present, none possessed a Chakra amount comparable to a Tailed Beast like the Fourth Raikage.
"The Fourth Raikage is confronting the Third Tsuchikage, and that Jonin Dodai would surely be there, protecting the Fourth Raikage."
With those two troublesome ninjas lessened, even if surrounded by a thousand ninjas, she could retreat unscathed.
Ayane was very confident in her abilities.
Heading straight into the defense circle of the supply point, being detected by a perception ninja left only this one path to take.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh, figures dashed over, all being Hidden Cloud Ninjas guarding the supply point.
A rough count showed forty to fifty of them.
Countless bolts of lightning were unleashed from their hands, shortly followed by a torrent of water.
Covering the water flow with lightning, the water could not only slam into the enemy but also paralyze them for a long time.
Ayane stood before the impending flood, her long hair fluttering as she slightly crouched down and slammed her palm onto the ground.
Boom!
A large chunk of earth and stone was lifted by her slender, snowy white hand, erecting in front of her body.
The water and lightning crashed against the solid wall of earth, resulting in densely packed cracks appearing on it.
Crack crack!
The earth wall shattered, and the water mixed with lightning continued flowing.
However, Ayane's figure had disappeared from there.
"Over there!"
A sharp-eyed Hidden Cloud Ninja pointed to the mid-air.
Ayane's body descended from the sky, and as they prepared to use Ninja Techniques to attack again, Ayane's body began to rotate in the air without support.
"Revolving Heaven!"
A large Chakra Ball turned into a terrifying storm, accompanied by screams, more than a dozen Hidden Cloud Ninjas were swept into it, their bodies battered and thrown backward in a miserable state, causing panic among those who escaped by luck.
Ayane ignored them, and after creating an opening, landed on the ground with both feet and rushed at full speed through the breach, crossing that defensive line.
Her goal was merely to destroy the Hidden Cloud's supply point, not to battle these minor characters.
Ayane sprinted quickly, reaching the supply point which was close at hand. Seeing dozens of Hidden Cloud Ninjas blocking the way, she took a deep breath and raised her hand.
"Divine Sky Strike!"
Accompanied by a massive explosion, dozens of Hidden Cloud Ninjas were swept away with the dust, allowing them to freely fall from the air, causing a huge commotion.
Ayane darted into the supply point from the central road.
As Hidden Cloud Ninjas continuously gathered around her, Ayane paid them no heed, being able to locate the target accurately with her Byakugan.
She arrived in front of the gate of a makeshift warehouse, with Hidden Cloud Ninjas fearlessly pursuing from behind.
Ayane clenched her fist and punched heavily on the gate, causing it to fly into the warehouse, revealing mountains of supplies inside.
Ayane quickly entered, taking an Explosive Tag from her Ninja Tool Bag, attached it to a Kunai, and began detonating in one area.
The explosion flames destroyed part of the supplies, but Ayane was not distressed, continuing to take out Explosive Tags and causing wanton destruction.
Time is of the essence; not a moment could be wasted, and the supplies had to be completely destroyed as soon as possible.
After burning these supplies, even the Hidden Cloud would be heartbroken for a long time.
In high spirits, Ayane picked up a Kunai with an attached Explosive Tag, planning to throw it again when footsteps suddenly sounded behind her.
Quite a few Hidden Cloud Ninjas arrived there.
"Are you sure you want to make a move here?"
Ayane picked up an Explosive Tag, turned around, and taunted the pursuing Hidden Cloud Ninjas with a smile.
In this situation, Ayane wasn't afraid of the Hidden Cloud Ninjas' siege.
Their attack would only hasten the destruction of the supplies.
One Hidden Cloud Ninja began to perform seals, glaring coolly.
Starting from the central black spot of the warehouse, numerous black curses extended and began spreading in all directions.
"Hmm?"
Ayane's expression slightly changed as the surrounding space began to warp, and an invisible force bound her, making it too late to escape.
"Heavenly Transfer Jutsu!"
The name of the jutsu came from the mouth of that Hidden Cloud Ninja.
Ayane, along with the burning supplies, disappeared from the warehouse, and a quiet atmosphere began brewing inside the warehouse, accompanied by silent sneers on the faces of the numerous Hidden Cloud Ninjas.
"Underestimating us Hidden Cloud is a mistake; like this, this Byakugan woman will be torn apart and die, though it's a pity for those Byakugan eyes."
A Hidden Cloud Ninja said.
The Hidden Cloud Ninja who performed 'Heavenly Transfer Jutsu' shook his head and said, "No, based on the intelligence summary from Raikage-sama, this woman seems able to use some peculiar jutsu to make her body extremely durable. Probably like the late Third Raikage-sama, she can withstand the spatial tearing caused by Heavenly Transfer Jutsu. But there's no need to worry; even if she survives the spatial tearing attack, three thousand ninjas are waiting for her arrival there."
Even though it cost a lot of supplies to get the opponent into the trap, as long as they could obtain those Byakugan, these losses could be overlooked.
