This guy...
When did he come in?
The high-ranking officials of the Hidden Cloud Village widened their eyes.
A stranger stealthily infiltrated the Raikage's office in the heavily guarded Hidden Cloud Village, and not only did he secretly consume the office's apples, but he also had the audacity to be picky about the selection!
Even...
After being discovered, he still acted so nonchalant?
"Who the hell is this guy?"
The Fourth Raikage's bodyguard, Darui, was sweating a bit on his forehead.
"Allow me to introduce myself."
The newcomer put down the apple core in his hand and leaned back on the sofa, saying, "I am the Wood Release Bloodline Ninja you're looking for, Akihara Kagura."
"I just heard you discussing my affairs..."
Akihara Kagura glanced at the Hidden Cloud higher-ups, as if he didn't take them seriously at all. "You people from the Hidden Cloud Village are still as despicable as ever. When you see something in another village, you immediately think about using deceitful methods to seize it..."
"What did you say!"
The Fourth Raikage clenched his fist.
"Isn't that the case?"
Akihara Kagura looked at the Fourth Raikage and spelled out the truth, "Back then, you wanted to seize the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline from Konoha, tried to capture the Byakugan from Konoha, and now you want to take the Wood Release Bloodline. Whatever Konoha has, you want to take it away..."
These incidents are undeniable facts.
Hidden Cloud Village's ninja once attempted to abduct Uzumaki Kushina from the Uzumaki Clan in Konoha to uncover the secrets of the Jinchuriki, only to be stopped by Namikaze Minato. Later, they tried to kidnap Hyuga Hinata from the Hyuga Main Family in Konoha, with clear malicious intentions, and it was eventually stopped by Hyuga Hizashi, only for the Hidden Cloud Village to turn the blame around...
Additionally.
Similar incidents have occurred in the Ninja World, such as the Xuanyuan Group's Secret Technique being stolen by Hidden Cloud Village.
The Hidden Cloud Village's actions are exceedingly greedy.
Many in the Ninja World are deceived by Hidden Cloud's façade, believing them to be a group of rugged, straightforward, and trustworthy people, while in reality, they exhibit a bandit mentality.
"I'm a bit curious..."
Akihara Kagura supported his head, and with utmost contempt, asked, "Were the founders of the Hidden Cloud Village all a bunch of bandits and scum?"
"What the hell did you say, you bastard!"
The Fourth Raikage suddenly burst forth with an intense surge of Chakra, instantly entering the Lighting Release Chakra Mode, his entire body flickering with electric light, charging toward Akihara Kagura like a blue lightning bolt!
"Lateral Bolt of Pain!"
The Raikage's arm swung up abruptly, aiming a powerful hand chop at Akihara Kagura's body, intending to slice the foul-mouthed bastard in half!
"You're this angry? Did I say something wrong?"
Akihara Kagura raised his arm, Chakra erupting from his body, blocking the Raikage's hand chop, gently speaking, "I clearly heard you plotting to seize the Wood Release Bloodline from me. It seems that the descendants of bandits and scum can't be anything good, failing to rob others and then posing as if they're the victims, taking the bandit's way of life for granted..."
"Ah!"
The Raikage's Lighting Release Chakra exploded again, intense electric currents swirling with Chakra currents around him!
In the Ninja World...
Never had anyone dared to speak to him this way.
Even former enemies wouldn't dare provoke a Kage in this manner!
Although the words spoken by Akihara Kagura were true, the audacity to use such language to insult a Kage, to humiliate the Hidden Cloud Village!
"This bastard..."
The other high-ranking officials of the Hidden Cloud Village also became agitated.
"Getting impatient."
With just a word from Akihara Kagura, the Fourth Raikage's anger surged even more, causing the Raikage to seemingly lose his mind, raising another arm to attack!
Bam!
Akihara Kagura kicked the Fourth Raikage's chest, sending the Raikage flying into the crowd, crashing into a group of Hidden Cloud Jonin!
"Raikage-sama!"
A group of Hidden Cloud Jonin hurriedly got up to help the Fourth Raikage.
"Kill him!"
The Fourth Raikage got back on his feet and charged again towards Akihara Kagura. His speed, enhanced by the Lighting Release Chakra Mode, was terrifyingly fast, faster even than Namikaze Minato, so much so that many perception ninja in the Ninja World couldn't keep up!
However...
A speed even faster than lightning struck!
Akihara Kagura and the Fourth Raikage collided in an instant!
Boom!
A shockwave burst from their collision point, sweeping across the Raikage's office, shattering the wide floor-to-ceiling window into countless glass shards that rained down!
Crack, crack...
Cracks began forming on the ground continuously!
"How is this possible..."
Darui looked on in disbelief as Akihara Kagura and the Fourth Raikage stood evenly matched in raw strength. "That guy can actually contend physically with Raikage-sama!"
Not only that!
He was even more terrifying than the Fourth Raikage!
Akihara Kagura's speed was faster than the Fourth Raikage's!
Just as the Fourth Raikage raised his fist, Akihara Kagura's figure disappeared from his sight, a scene that felt eerily familiar!
"Flying Thunder God..."
The Fourth Raikage recalled his past opponent Namikaze Minato, the Fourth Hokage, but quickly reacted again, his pupils constricting once more: "No, faster than that guy!"
