"Art is-explosion!"
Boom!
Boom!
Despite the Third Raikage's speed.
Despite the other ninjas in the village trying their best to use Lightning Release to turn the clay bird bombs into duds.
But the clay birds that Kenshi had condensed were simply too numerous. They were densely packed, like stars falling from the sky. Not only were there many of them, but they were also fast. They couldn't stop them all.
One by one, the white birds landed on the houses, bridge piers, roads, and mountaintops of Kumogakure village, exploding.
At this time, the disadvantages of Kumogakure's geographical location became apparent.
The mountaintops were blown apart by the clay bird explosions, sending large chunks of rock tumbling down, landing on the houses in the village on the mountainside, causing a second wave of destruction.
"No... don't!"
"Mom... Mom!"
"Help..."
"My leg..."
Kumogakure's reaction was too fast. They discovered Kenshi's speed too quickly. Many people in the village hadn't had time to evacuate or hide in the basement. When Kenshi's clay bird bombs landed, they were instantly buried in rubble or blown apart.
In an instant, along with the explosions that sounded everywhere, screams rose and fell.
"Damn it!!!"
The Third Raikage was furious, but he was helpless. Faced with the dense attacks covering the entire Kumogakure village, even his speed, considered the fastest in the ninja world, couldn't stop them. His anger towards the attacker reached its peak.
"Iwagakure!"
"You'll pay for this. You dare... I won't let you get away with this. I will repay you a hundredfold!"
The Third Raikage was burning with anger. He had already been tricked by Ōnoki during the Five Kage Summit, and he was very upset. Now, Iwagakure was attacking again. He had secretly decided that he would give Iwagakure a taste of their own medicine.
Boom, boom, boom... Violent explosion sounds reverberated throughout the area surrounding Kumogakure village.
The Kumogakure ninjas in Red Light Valley also felt the obvious tremors.
"What happened?"
"Is there an enemy attack?"
The people who came out after hearing the commotion saw the fiery red sky in the direction of Kumogakure village and their hearts sank, but they still couldn't believe that there would be an enemy attack on the village.
After all, this was Kumogakure village!
Kumogakure village, where the Third Raikage was stationed!
Who would be so bold as to attack?
How could they break through the layers of defenses and reach Kumogakure village?
But reality spoke louder than words. Kumogakure village was indeed under attack.
"It seems we can end the tragedy here!"
In the sky, on the back of the ink eagle, Kenshi's shadow clone glanced at the illuminated firelight in the direction of Kumogakure, smiled slightly, and then activated his mind, condensing a clay puppet and dropping it.
"Boom!"
The white clay puppet fell from 300 meters above Red Light Valley, instantly transforming into a giant puppet 100 meters tall.
"Boom!"
Below the puppet, the Kumogakure ninjas hadn't had time to put on their clothes and leave to support the village. They were smashed into the ground along with the wooden houses.
Then, the giant puppet quickly inflated like an inflatable balloon doll.
"No good, run!"
Outside the giant puppet, the many Kumogakure ninjas saw the rapidly expanding giant puppet and were terrified. They didn't even bother putting on their clothes and ran out quickly.
"Boom!"
Without giving the Kumogakure ninjas time to escape, the giant puppet, like a balloon inflated to its limit, suddenly exploded.
There was no fire, only a burst of air that suddenly spread outwards, engulfing the entire valley, including the Kumogakure ninjas guarding the valley entrance.
"Art is-explosion!"
As Kenshi's shadow clone's words echoed in his mind, the Kumogakure ninjas who were running outwards seemed to experience ten thousand years in an instant. They were decomposed into invisible dust and dissipated.
In an instant, the entire Red Light Valley fell silent. Everyone had disappeared.
Kenshi had killed the Kumogakure ninjas and the miserable women in those wooden houses. Otherwise, those women would live with endless suffering. One compromise would lead to countless compromises, until death.
Just like how Karin's mother was bitten to death in the original work.
If Kenshi hadn't come, Yezi's fate would have been to keep giving birth to children for Kumogakure until the day she died. There would be no miracle.
In this real world of the strong preying on the weak, reality is cruel.
"Quick!"
"The village is under attack. The flying squad, take to the air immediately and kill the enemy."
Two kilometers outside Kumogakure village, there was a Hawk Lightning Gorge, where the Daruma family bred giant hawks. It was also the headquarters of Kumogakure's aerial surveillance unit, controlled by the Daruma family.
At this time, the person in charge of the headquarters, a Jōnin from the Daruma family, received news that the village was under attack by the Iwagakure Aerial Detonation Squad. He was both angry and afraid. He quickly urged his clansmen to go to the hawk cave to ride the giant hawks and take to the air to support the village.
"How did the enemy break through the hawk flock's line of sight and reach the village?"
The Jōnin from the Daruma family was puzzled, but now was not the time to ponder. He ran quickly towards the hawk cave where his summoned beast, the giant hawk, was located.
Boom, boom, boom... Explosions continued to come from the village. Each one pounded on his heart, making it sink deeper and deeper.
The Daruma family, responsible for monopolizing the aerial surveillance force of the entire Lightning Country, enjoyed huge benefits but also bore great responsibility.
This time, the enemy actually infiltrated the village and attacked, coming from the air. They, the Daruma family, hadn't noticed it beforehand. Their responsibility would be even greater.
Especially during wartime, public opinion in the village would drown them, the Daruma family. They wouldn't be able to offset this negligence without giving up their enormous benefits.
"Sigh!"
"Hmm... what is that?"
Just as the Jōnin from the Daruma family sighed, thinking about the trouble his family would face, he saw white lines rapidly shooting from the sky in the distance. He paused, wondering what they were.
Only when a white line shot into a hawk cave in the gorge's rock wall in the blink of an eye did he see what it was.
"No good, it's clay birds!"
"Quick, quickly use Lightning Release to stop those white clay birds."
The Jōnin from the Daruma family's eyes instantly turned red. He roared at the ninjas of his family around him, and his hands didn't slow down. He quickly formed hand seals and released Fire Release jutsu to attack the clay birds shooting from the sky in the distance.
But... it was too late!
Boom, boom... Violent explosions instantly echoed throughout Hawk Lightning Gorge. The sky above the entire gorge was instantly illuminated by the flames.
Fast!
Too fast!
These flying clay birds were as fast as white lightning. By the time the Daruma family ninjas noticed them, it was too late to stop them.
The clay birds, like they had infrared guidance radar, aimed directly at every hawk that the Daruma family had painstakingly bred. No matter the size, as long as it was a hawk, it was within the attack range.
Bang!
Crack!
Boom... Crash!
Explosions, the sound of rocks shattering, and huge boulders smashing into the river below the gorge rose and fell.
"It's over!"
"The Daruma family is over!"
The Jōnin from the Daruma family knelt on the ground, staring blankly at Hawk Lightning Gorge, which was filled with smoke and flames. He looked at the cries coming from the hawk caves and knew that the Daruma family was finished.
Their hawks, bred for a hundred years, had all died. They were finished. Their enemies wouldn't give them another hundred years to develop.
"Heh, let's see you jump around now!"
In the sky on the edge of Kumogakure village, Kenshi, with his spirit body attached to Banma Jinza, glanced at Hawk Lightning Gorge and slightly curled his lips.
The hawks of this family had given him a headache with their long-range perception. Now, let's see if they can still jump around.
Soul perception is amazing. Combined with chakra perception, everything is transparent to him.
Everything in Kumogakure village was under Kenshi's perception. How could he let the Daruma family's hawks go?
