Land of Fire, Konoha.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who understood the Uzushigakure better than anyone else, saw Shihōin Yoruichi's appearance and immediately narrowed his eyes.
"This display of speed definitely belongs to a Captain-level figure!"
Yet another new Captain-level figure!
But what puzzled him was why he didn't see a Division number on Shihōin Yoruichi's back?
Temporarily suppressing this doubt, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to observe the hell butterfly projection's footage.
At the same time, he inwardly lamented the generosity and foolishness of the Uzushigakure,
To actually project such important battle footage to the entire Ninja World.
Wasn't this revealing all the intelligence about their own strong individuals to the Ninja World?
Once the Ninja World researches ways to specifically counter them later, the Uzushigakure will have a tough time!
In the projection, the scene changed again.
Shihōin Yoruichi calmly held Ai, ignoring Ai's struggle against her, and closed her eyes to sense carefully.
She chuckled softly: "One, two… over thirty people dare to come to the Uzushigakure to save someone. We're really being underestimated."
As Yoruichi's words fell.
The projection hell butterfly's screen split into five frames.
Some familiar faces to certain people in the Ninja World came into view, causing a stir of exclamations.
"Bakuton Kari? Isn't that a Shinobi from Iwagakure? How did he appear in the Uzushigakure?"
Iwagakure.
Ōnoki frowned slightly, not expecting to be discovered so quickly.
And it was even livestreamed.
Now the entire Ninja World knows that Iwagakure helped Kumogakure rescue the Raikage.
After a brief moment of surprise,
people looked at the next scene.
"This is... that bounty hunter?!"
"Why is he here too?!"
"I heard that two days ago, the Land of Lightning posted a mission to rescue the Raikage at the underground exchange. I heard the reward is very generous, so it's probably related to that."
"Oh, I see, then it's not surprising."
Kakuzu?
The major Shinobi Villages quickly searched their intelligence, but besides knowing that Kakuzu was a Kage-level figure from Takigakure, there was no detailed information.
Wait!
Suddenly, a piece of intelligence caught their attention, and their eyes widened.
He once undertook a mission to assassinate the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama?!
Hiss—
This person is definitely not simple!
Although the assassination mission failed, that was the god of shinobi!
The fact that Kakuzu could escape unharmed after a failed assassination is enough to prove his worth!
"Achoo!"
Kakuzu rubbed his nose and looked around, a sudden sense of unease in his heart.
This Uzushigakure is too strange.
If the bounty wasn't high enough, he wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess.
No, after the mission, I must demand more money!
Skipping past Kakuzu's scene,
the Shinobi Villages that had intelligence on Iwagakure once again discovered a familiar face.
The Four-Tails Jinchuriki!
However, this figure was only known to some high-ranking Ninja World officials, so it didn't cause much of a stir.
Danzo Shimura's eyes narrowed slightly, "Iwagakure truly has grand ambitions, sending out even a Jinchuriki."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was also somewhat startled.
He originally thought Iwagakure would at most send some Jonin, but he didn't expect them to even use the Four-Tails Jinchuriki.
It seems Ōnoki is determined to secure the Central Mountain Range!
After Roshi's scene, there were Dodai and some Jonin.
These Jonin, led by Dodai, were harassing the Uzushigakure.
Seeing this deployment, some people raised questions.
"Just this few people to rescue the Raikage?"
"What do you know? Large-scale troop movements take time. How could it be accomplished in just two days?"
Of course, some people who knew about the situation in the Land of Lightning remained silent.
The Land of Lightning also wanted to send troops, but the containment of the Hollows made it impossible for them to spare any forces.
Unless they truly abandoned the Land of Lightning.
But this was clearly not enough.
However, A had no worries in his heart.
After all, it was just a rescue mission, and fewer people meant greater mobility.
Find an opportunity to rescue the Third Raikage and then just slip away.
But clearly, the Uzushigakure would not easily give him this chance.
Shihōin Ichiya said, "You all go deal with the other invaders. I'll handle things here."
The captains nodded in agreement.
Currently, Shihōin Ichiya, like Rukia, was a favorite of Lord Soul King.
They dared not offend her.
Rukia sensed a location, then used Shunpo to get there.
The other captains also went to find their opponents.
Kuchiki Byakuya waited quietly for a moment, then followed in the direction Rukia had left.
"This tsundere sister-complex."
Shihōin Ichiya muttered softly.
A's expression remained unchanged.
He seemed to have anticipated this situation.
However, this was part of their plan.
Letting others attract the Uzushigakure' other combat forces.
This would free up the combat forces around the Third Raikage, reducing A's pressure and allowing him to find an opportunity to rescue the Third Raikage.
And this effect seemed to be very good.
He didn't know if it was this woman's arrogance or stupidity, to let everyone leave, truly believing that she alone could stop him?
Even Ōnoki, seeing the situation on the projection, couldn't help but laugh, "Underestimating A like that, you should be careful not to capsize in a ditch."
