"What happened?"

"Hari-sama is dead?"

"Did Third Raikage-sama really order to kill Hari-sama?"

"What exactly is going on?"

"Wasn't it Gasshi that killed Hari-sama?"

"Just now, Gasshi seemed to have said that he was ordered by Raikage-sama."

"..."

In the crowd, the Kumogakure ninjas could not help but discuss among themselves. They were very puzzled in their hearts. They did not know what had just happened. It could be said that they were completely confused.

All of a sudden, these Kumogakure ninjas all lost the will to continue the battle. After they got the news of Hari's death, their beliefs collapsed. They did not know why to fight and how to fight.

In front of the crowd.

The Third Raikage was suddenly splashed with dirty water by Gasshi(Aoba), and his face was full of displeasure. He stared at Gasshi(Aoba), raised his left hand, and pointed at him.

"Gasshi, don't talk nonsense!" The Third Raikage said loudly. He was a rash person and had a one-track mind. When he was suddenly slandered by Gasshi(Aoba), his first reaction was to clarify this matter.

But...

This was exactly what Aoba wanted to do. Aoba was waiting for the Third Raikage to explain himself.

In this kind of matter, how could a rash person like the Third Raikage be a match for Aoba? It could be said that Aoba would be led him by the nose.

"I understand!"

Aoba suddenly shouted. He still used the method of condensing chakra in his throat, allowing his voice to reach every corner of Konohagakure, clearly drilling into the ears of all the ninjas present.

At this time, Kumogakure ninjas were at the moment when their beliefs were about to collapse.

Everyone did not know what was going on. Now that they heard Gasshi's voice again, they immediately perked up their ears, waiting for the explanation.

"As Raikage-sama said it!"

Just as everyone was looking forward to it, Aoba spoke loudly. His voice was so loud that everyone present could hear it clearly.

As his voice rang out. The nerves of the Kumogakure ninjas all tensed up. Everyone held their breath and was looking forward to what Gasshi would say next.

Only...

In the forest where no one had noticed. The four shadow clones who had transformed into Kirigakure ninja form were quickly heading toward them.

"This matter has nothing to do with Raikage-sama. I, Gasshi, did it on my own. It was my personal wish to kill Hari. You must not misunderstand Raikage-sama!"

Aoba directly explained this matter in a way that wanted to cover up this matter.

In a split second, the scene was once again in an uproar.

"Why does Gasshi sound so strange? Is he being threatened by Raikage-sama?"

"I think so too. I feel that Gasshi is about to become a traitor. He can't go back to Kumogakure."

"Is this a mission or not?"

"Why do I feel that Gasshi is still carrying out Raikage-sama's mission!"

"I also feel the same, but I feel like Gasshi silently shouldered everything and became Raikage-sama's scapegoat!"

"..."

The Kumogakure ninjas in Konohagakure began to discuss. They no longer attacked Konohagakure. Instead, they quickly gathered together and formed a small team.

Kumogakure ninjas stopped attacking; Konohagakure ninjas also took a break. They were all confused.

What was going on?

Strange things happen every year, especially this year!

Why did they suddenly turn into eating melons and watching a show in the middle of a battle?!

Big question marks appeared in the minds of every Konohagakure ninjas.

They just felt that this matter was inexplicable and completely out of line with what they imagined about Kumogakure ninjas.

Near the Hokage Building.

The Third Raikage stared blankly at Gasshi, who was not far away from him. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes flickered with intense doubt.

Why did he feel that something was wrong?

But...

From Gasshi's words, Gasshi was obviously trying to defend him. However, he just felt that there was something strange about it.

"Gasshi, what is the meaning of this? Who told you to attack Hari?" The Third Raikage seemed to have forgotten that he was still on the battlefield. He directly looked at Gasshi and coldly asked this question.

Just as the Third Raikage said this, the Kumogakure ninjas had already arrived near the Hokage Building one after another. They just happened to hear the Third Raikage questioning Gasshi.

But...

They couldn't explain why. When these Kumogakure ninjas heard these words, they suddenly felt as if he was just acting. Even the slightly higher-level ninjas in Kumogakure stared at the Third Raikage suspiciously, not knowing how things would develop in the end.

Just at this time, Aoba saw these Kumogakure ninjas rushing over.

This was just as he had expected. He had read the memories of Hari and Gasshi. Including Gasshi, every Kumogakure ninjas were extremely respectful of Hari.

Hari was indeed just thinking about Kumogakure. He did not have any selfish motives and also did not have any personal forces. Of course, the one-track-minded Raikage had never doubted Hari at all.

However, this was originally a peaceful situation, and just like that, it was easily broken by Aoba.

When Aoba played the role of Gasshi to stir up trouble, Kumogakure's tragic ending was already doomed.

Now, Kumogakure's ninjas began to doubt their Third Raikage. Gradually, they realized that it might be because the Third Raikage felt that Hari's achievements were too outstanding, so he used this method to deal with Hari.

As these Kumogakure ninjas heard the Third Raikage's words, they all looked at Gasshi(Aoba). However, they did not know that this person was Aoba. Instead, they thought that Aoba was Gasshi.

Sensing the gazes of the surrounding people, the corners of Aoba's mouth curled up slightly, revealing an evil smile.

"The matter of killing Hari was all done by me. It has nothing to do with Third Raikage-sama. However, I advise Third Raikage-sama to return to Kumogakure quickly. Otherwise, Kumogakure might be captured by Kirigakure."

Aoba fiercely threw out this sentence. First, he acted as if he was taking responsibility for the Third Raikage. Then, he told the Third Raikage about Kirigakure. It looked like he was reporting to Third Raikage about the information he had found.

All of a sudden, all Kumogakure ninjas revealed expressions of not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Now, everyone had a very clear feeling. That was, Gasshi was concerned about Kumogakure.

Just to carry out this special mission, he had to bear the weight that he shouldn't have.

After Gasshi finished speaking, his figure flashed and quickly disappeared, preparing to leave this place.

"Don't go!"

"Make it clear!"

"You can't go yet!"

The Third Raikage stared at Gasshi, who had run away and immediately roared. Then, he assumed a chasing posture. However, he didn't chase after him directly. Instead, he suddenly stopped and stood in place.

When this scene fell into the eyes of Kumogakure ninjas, it immediately brought them a very disillusioned feeling. It was as if the Third Raikage was showing them very clumsy acting.

Only...

The Third Raikage himself knew what had happened. Just when he was about to chase after Gasshi. He suddenly felt four very strong chakras coming out from above the Hokage Rock, and they had already locked onto his position.

If it were only this, then it would not surprise him too much.

The fundamental reason why he stopped chasing after him was that Gasshi did not leave by himself. Instead, he directly entered the lineup of the four Kirigakure ninjas and then suddenly disappeared.

This scene, it directly made the Third Raikage fall into deep thought.

"Sh*t!"

"I fell into a trap!"

"This is a trap!"

The Third Raikage suddenly realized that Gasshi did not come here by chance. Instead, he seized this opportunity to appear in front of him and kill Hari.

Then...

Were Gasshi's words trustworthy?

Had Kumogakure been attacked by Kirigakure?

Now...

Should he go back?

The Third Raikage's head suddenly became a little messy. He hated this kind of thing the most. If they had the ability, they should fight it out fair and square!

Why do they have to play these so-called conspiracies?

Of course, he did not know. The reason why Aoba played tricks on him was that he was in Konohagakure.

If his strength was exposed in this place. Then many things would become extremely troublesome in the future.

Instead...

If it was outside of Konohagakure. It was not certain who would win and who would lose!

...

At this time, the Third Raikage's eyes were focused on the top of the Hokage Rock. He could see four shadows. Judging from the style of their clothing, they were Kirigakure ninjas.

All of a sudden, the four Kirigakure ninjas began to make hand seals together. Their hand seals weren't too fast, but they weren't slow either. As a whole, they were orderly, showing a meticulous feeling.

The movements of the four people were uniform, and it looked like one person was doing it. The rhythm was completely the same.

"Suiton: Dai Bakusui Shoha(Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave)!"

The voices of the four Kirigakure ninjas rang out at the same time, clearly transmitting into the ears of everyone present.

Everyone here, including Kumogakure ninjas and Konohagakure ninjas, heard the same words.

After that, under the gazes of many people below the Hokage Rock. The four Kirigakure ninjas took a deep breath at the same time, causing their chests to bulge as if they had been filled up.

In an instant, the four Kirigakure ninjas sprayed water at the ground beneath the Hokage Rock, and a surging stream of water gushed out from their mouths.

The water from the four Kirigakure ninjas rushed down and suddenly felt like the Hokage Rock had turned into a waterfall.

This strong stream of water instantly poured into the village, and the first thing that it hit was the Third Raikage and Kumogakure ninjas.

The great exploding water colliding wave that Aoba used did not have any special uses. It was just spraying water and using the water that he spat out to scatter all the ninjas outside of Konohagakure.

As the water flowed down from the sky like a waterfall, it directly wrapped up the Konohagakure and Kumogakure's ninjas, causing them to flutter along with the water flow.

"Damn Kirigakure ninja!"

The Third Raikage's face became ugly. In fact, water could not be said to be the weakness of lightning chakra mode, but it could weaken his lightning chakra armor to a certain extent. In addition, the resistance and buoyancy of the water made him very uncomfortable fighting.

Not only the Third Raikage. The other Kumogakure ninjas were also in the same situation. They were more suitable to fight on the ground.

Once they were caught in the water, their overall combat ability would fall sharply.

Of course, Konohagakure ninjas were also not in good condition. However, they were not weakened that much compared to Kumogakure ninjas. They still had the strength to fight.

However, among these people. The one with the greatest weakening was none other than the Uchiha.

Their overall attack was mainly fire-release ninjutsu. Now, under the impact of this waterfall, it was not easy for them to spit out sparks.

"Is this really a ninjutsu?"

"Can water-release ninjutsu be used like this?"

"There's not even water here, but the waterfall can be sprayed out to the ground!"

"This water spraying technique is too strong!"

"Are they Kirigakure ninja?"

"..."

Whether it was Konohagakure ninjas or Kumogakure ninjas, they were all convinced by Aoba's water spraying skill. They had never seen such a capable ninja.

When they encounter such a violent current. On the contrary, they did not know how to respond.

Above the Hokage Rock.

Aoba's four advanced paper clones had no intention of stopping. According to Aoba's plan, he wanted to use all the chakra of these four advanced paper clones before ending it.

These water currents can be said to be the waters of truce!

As these people flooded into Konohagakure, it could be said that Konohagakure instantly entered the state of flood, making them have a feeling of fighting in Kirigakure.

This kind of crazy water spray was simply outrageous!

Of course, the spray this time also made Konohagakure and Kumogakure ninjas realize how terrifying Kirigakure was.

Now both sides no longer had the desire to continue fighting.

Originally, the Third Raikage was still very eager to fight. He held the idea that if he did not defeat them, he would not return. But he never expected that he would encounter such a thing. Kirigakure was now here to interfere.

The four Kirigakure ninjas sprayed water so fiercely that they directly drowned Konohagakure. There was no way to fight anymore. Now, they could only retreat.

"Retreat!"

The Third Raikage said helplessly. He was really depressed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. Now he began to worry a little. If it were as Gasshi said that Kumogakure was attacked by Kirigakure, then things would really become dangerous.

In his original impression. He had always thought that Kirigakure was their subordinate and had no strength at all. He did not expect that there would be so many strong ninjas when he was not paying attention.

This instantly refreshed his understanding of Kirigakure. It also made him really pay attention to Kirigakure.

He was even more unwilling to stay longer in Konohagakure, afraid that Kirigakure would take the opportunity to attack Kumogakure.

"Yes!"

When these Kumogakure ninjas heard the Third Raikage's order, they immediately responded. After knowing that Hari was dead, they were a little confused and suspected their Third Raikage.

But at this moment. They understood that it was meaningless to be tangled with this thing. No matter what, Hari was already dead.

They were Kumogakure ninjas. Who dared to question the Third Raikage?

At least they did not dare!

Apart from this, the Konohagakure ninjas also began to change their views on Kirigakure ninjas. All of them began to pay attention to them again.

This was also Aoba's goal.

He made an indiscriminate attack on Konohagakure.

However, it was a relatively less destructive water-release ninjutsu. Even if it could cause some economic losses, it would not cause any personnel damage.

Through this method, he wanted Konohagakure people to wake up.

The Third Ninja World War...

It had already erupted!

...

When Aoba returned to the top of the Hokage Rock, he used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) in front of everyone's blind spot and directly returned to the stone door.

He looked at the stone door, slowly raised his hands, and pushed it open.
