Just as Shinji expected, Urashiki was very busy now. After fleeing from the battlefield, he harassed the shinobi world non-stop, using the unparalleled high mobility of 'Yomotsu Hirasaka' to harvest the chakra of ninja.
Hidden Cloud Village.
"Who is it!?"
The startled cry of Hidden Cloud Anbu suddenly came from outside the Raikage's office.
The Fourth Raikage, who was pumping iron in the office, sank his face and ordered: "Go see what happened outside!"
"Yes!"
Darui, who had been promoted to Raikage's guard, nodded.
Crash...
However, before Darui could move, a Hidden Cloud Anbu smashed through the window of the Raikage's office and fell inside.
The Fourth Raikage was instantly enraged, hurriedly got up and looked out the window, finding that the attacker was actually an Otsutsuki floating in mid-air, carrying a fishing rod, with a mocking expression on his face.
Urashiki chuckled lightly: "Finally found a somewhat decent guy!"
Undoubtedly, the one attacking the Hidden Cloud Anbu was none other than Urashiki, who found his way to the Hidden Cloud Village by sensing chakra intensity.
"Seeking death!"
The Fourth Raikage wasted no words, directly activating 'Lightning Release Chakra Mode'. Instantly, his whole body was wrapped in a layer of high-intensity Lightning Release chakra.
Just by visual estimation and perception, the Fourth Raikage knew the opponent was not simple, so he didn't take it lightly just because he was on the home ground of the Hidden Cloud Village, but used his full strength right from the start.
Whoosh...
In the next instant, the Fourth Raikage pounced!
"So fast!"
Urashiki was startled, barely dodging the Fourth Raikage's sudden attack.
The Fourth Raikage, having missed a strike, did not hesitate. After landing, he pushed off with both feet, pouncing again towards Urashiki in the air.
Urashiki, having adapted to the Fourth Raikage's speed and occupying the advantage of flight, flew higher while calculating the distance and swinging the chakra fishing rod.
Whoosh...
Accompanied by the whistling sound of breaking wind, Urashiki's chakra fishing rod swung towards the Fourth Raikage.
The Fourth Raikage, having nowhere to leverage in the air, could not avoid it and was hit by the fishhook on Urashiki's chakra fishing rod.
In just an instant, the Fourth Raikage had all his chakra sucked away. Before landing, he was forced out of 'Lightning Release Chakra Mode'.
Bang!
Just as the Fourth Raikage was dazed, Urashiki in the air flashed in front of the Fourth Raikage, knocking him flying with a punch.
"How could it be like this!?"
"What happened just now?"
"Protect Lord Raikage!"
The Hidden Cloud ninja who gathered around hearing the commotion exclaimed one after another.
Darui and a large number of Hidden Cloud Anbu used their own methods to launch attacks on Urashiki.
Urashiki swung the chakra fishing rod nonchalantly. The fishhook swept across everyone one by one, taking away masses of chakra.
The Hidden Cloud ninja who had their chakra sucked away by the fishhook fell to the ground in droves. For weaker ninja, suddenly having a large amount of chakra sucked away not only meant losing combat capability but could even be life-threatening in severe cases.
Urashiki flew into the air again, looking down at the chaotic Hidden Cloud Village below, grinning: "Where to next!"
Just then, his expression suddenly turned stern as he looked in a direction: "Eh, chasing over so fast? So troublesome!"
Saying so, he immediately opened 'Yomotsu Hirasaka', flashed, and disappeared from the spot.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
A moment later, Karin arrived at the Hidden Cloud Village with Haku and Ranmaru.
...
Seeing the chaos among the Hidden Cloud ninja, Karin asked: "What happened?"
Darui respectfully replied: "We were just attacked by an unidentified person. The opponent used a fishing rod-like ninja tool to absorb Lord Raikage's chakra, then fled using Space-Time Ninjutsu!"
After the end of the Fourth Great Ninja War, the major ninja villages understood that the shinobi world had changed. Although each village lost Jinchuriki and a large number of ninja in the war, for the continuation of the village, each village began to maintain a tacit understanding with Shinji's Akatsuki organization.
Therefore, Karin appearing in Akatsuki organization 'B' attire did not arouse hostility from the Hidden Cloud Village.
Hearing Darui's answer, Ranmaru said: "It really is that guy!"
Haku frowned: "He was still in the Land of Iron before, and in less than two hours he actually arrived at the Hidden Cloud Village. Too fast!"
The reason Karin and the others could arrive at the Hidden Cloud in time was purely because they happened to be close; they were originally preparing to go to the Land of Iron.
"Can't go on like this!"
Karin also realized this, frowning slightly.
Chasing behind his butt, no matter how many people or how fast, they couldn't catch up with Urashiki who mastered 'Yomotsu Hirasaka'. Moreover, sending ordinary squads to pursue Urashiki was completely sending them to their deaths; didn't they see the Fourth Raikage still lying on the ground?
So there must be ninja with 'Six Paths Level' combat power leading the team to barely guarantee the squad's own safety. But there were only a few 'Six Paths Level' combat powers in total, simply not enough.
Haku said: "Chasing like this definitely won't work; we must first analyze his behavioral logic!"
Karin nodded: "Let's return to the Research Institute first!"
On Urashiki's side, having just left the Hidden Cloud Village, he used the convenience of 'Yomotsu Hirasaka' to arrive at the outskirts of the Hidden Leaf Village.
Looking at the Hidden Leaf Village in the distance, the corners of his mouth curled up: "Interesting, such a small village actually has so much active chakra."
Hidden Leaf Village, Hokage's Office.
Jiraiya, acting as the proxy Hokage, was looking at the message Tsunade sent back from the Research Institute with a headache.
The two consultant elders, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, were pressing aggressively: "Where exactly did Tsunade go?"
The Hokage personally participating in the Akatsuki organization's scientific research project wouldn't sound good if leaked, so Tsunade's matter at the Research Institute was still confidential. Even the two consultant elders in the village didn't know; the only one in the know was Jiraiya.
Just as Jiraiya was thinking about how to fool the two stubborn old folks in front of him, with a boom, a burst of explosion came from outside!
"What's going on!?"
The two consultant elders' faces changed drastically, looking out the window together.
Jiraiya, who had received Tsunade's message, secretly said not good: "Damn it, that bastard Otsutsuki didn't come to our Hidden Leaf, did he?"
A long time later, the Research Institute received the news of the attack on the Hidden Leaf.
"Bastard!"
In the conference room, Tsunade, upon learning the news, was so angry that she overturned the table in front of her.
Others also had gloomy faces.
Urashiki and Kinshiki's surprise attack not only indirectly led to Hiruko's death but also caused huge casualties to the Research Institute. Several leaders of the Research Institute wished they could catch Urashiki and dissect him on the operating table for research.
But Urashiki was simply too cunning, causing Karin's squad and Orochimaru's squad to repeatedly fail in their pursuit.
Shizune, following Tsunade, muttered softly: "Is there really no way at all?"
Amado looked at Eida at this time: "Eida, your eyes should be able to locate him, right!"
