Naruto: I didn't say this is the real Hokage.

"Nagato, Naruto, everyone...are you here?"

"Since you are here...then hurry up and rescue me!"

"Don't be silent, hurry up and save me!"

"Damn, are you guys here or not... woooooooooooooo~"

……

Even through the carriage, one could hear how desperate Hidan, who was trapped inside, was at the moment.

Nagato: "...Are you really not going to rescue that Hidan?"

There was no need to investigate specifically. Just based on the intermittent shouts coming from inside the carriage, everyone could be 100% sure that the person locked inside was Fei Duan Bendan.

Everyone in Akatsuki: →_→...Why did you say "you guys"?

Nagato: ←_←... You can't let me, the former leader of Akatsuki and now the emperor, go and get the goods myself, right?!

Everyone: (ー ー゛)…

At this moment, the air around seemed to be still.

After the warm-hearted Minato Namikaze rushed to the carriage first, and then turned into a stream of light and flew away without looking back...

They had already guessed that there was something terrible inside the carriage besides Hidan.

After a long while, Naruto smiled awkwardly.

"Why don't we let Hidan stay in there for a while longer? Just treat it as punishment for causing trouble for the organization this time."

Everyone in Akatsuki: (⊙o⊙)~That makes sense!

……

Ai Ben thought that everything he had experienced before was the biggest Waterloo in his career as Raikage.

However, he was wrong. Compared with what they had experienced before, everything they were experiencing now was like being in heaven.

Looking around, the surrounding land was covered with holes created by various artillery shells, and the holes were filled with the remains of dead ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village.

The burning blood spilled onto the scorched earth, slowly cooling down along with it.

Under Xiao Di's perverted saturation bombardment, except for Ma Buyi who was protected by Ai behind him, only a few of the Cloud Village ninjas he brought were able to stand up from the dust.

And those who have not seen it rise yet...

Either they were dead or they were lying on the ground, barely breathing.

[Have I arrived in... hell? ]

For the first time in his life, Ai felt that the world had unknowingly become something he did not recognize.

Or maybe...

It’s not that the world is changing too fast, but that his rigid thinking makes him unable to adapt to this new era?

"Jiejiejiejie~"

Xiaodi let out a strange laugh, raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

Countless White Zetsu rose from the ground, each holding a Vulcan Cannon and aiming at the surviving ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village.

"I will count to three, and you will surrender right here...

Otherwise, I don't mind sending you all to see the Sage of Six Paths!"

Perhaps it was because Xiao Di was having so much fun this time that he could fully display his art of explosion, so that even the tone of his voice now seemed much more unrestrained.

Over the years, the firearms made by Xiaodi have been sold to every corner of the ninja world. Ai has naturally seen firearms such as pistols, submachine guns, assault rifles, etc.

Ai even tested the power of these guns himself.

He also discovered that these guns could indeed cause great damage to most ninjas when they were caught off guard, but any ninja who had trained to a high level could effectively avoid the bullets fired by the guns.

Based on this conclusion, Ai and the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village he led never took the firearms and other hot weapons circulating throughout the ninja world seriously.

But it’s different now!

Ai had a premonition that the strange guns with a blue-green glow in the hands of those white figures who suddenly emerged from the ground could easily take the lives of most of the ninjas in the Hidden Cloud Village except him.

Maybe his premonition was wrong, maybe he could lead the surviving ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village to fight again...

But Ai didn't dare.

He knew that he had been defeated this time, completely defeated.

Even if he could risk his life to kill the bastard standing on the bird's back, the dead ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village would not survive.

And...even if Ai can kill Xiaodi, how many of the people who survived behind him can survive?

It is true that Ai is a reckless man, but he is also the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Too many people have been lost along the way due to his wrong leadership, and we can't continue to lose like this...

"……asshole!"

Ai clenched his back teeth tightly, not even realizing that his mouth was full of blood.

"Who are you? Who are you?!

Do you dare to tell me your name? ! "

Ai raised his head suddenly and glared at Xiao Di who was standing on the bird's back with a grin on his face.

“Wow hahaha~

Since you want to know, I will satisfy you... Just listen to me!

I am the only biological son of Ohnoki, the third Tsuchikage of the Hidden Rock Village, and I am Yellow Earth."

It's not like Xiaodi hasn't made any progress in the Akatsuki organization over the years. At least he learned from Naruto that when doing bad things, he should never reveal his true identity.

But it was obvious that he had not mastered it.

Kurotsuchi who witnessed everything in secret: (▼ヘ▼#)? !

The little girl's fists had begun to harden.

As for Ai...

First of all, Ai is a reckless man but not a fool;

Secondly… As someone who would go to the Land of Earth with a group of reckless men every now and then to fight with that old man Ohnoki, how could he not have met Kurotsuchi’s father, Yellow Earth? !

He had even seen Deidara as a child several times on the battlefield, but too much time had passed and he couldn't recognize him for the time being.

Ai: (? Benefit?) !!!

“You are not yellow earth!

It has come to this, and you still want to lie to me... bastard!"

Ai cursed at Xiao Di, but of course at this moment he could do nothing but curse, and he dared not do anything.

After all, the lives of so many people are in their hands, right? !

On the other hand, Xiao Di failed to show off and was exposed by the enemy on the spot: =(??? ????)……

"Ahem~ Actually, who I am is not important to you. What's important is whether you want to surrender or not."

Ai: ⊙_⊙... Damn, what should I do if what you said suddenly makes so much sense?

"Fuck, I was so busy talking to you that I forgot to count... Let's start over~

Fourth Raikage Ai, I’ll count to three... Never mind, it’s too much trouble.

Fourth Raikage, I * you, Sage!

Just give me a straight answer, do you surrender or not? ! "

Xiao Di suddenly realized that shouting out this sentence that he had accidentally learned from Naruto at this moment was simply... so cool!

Xiaodi: (σ≧?▽?≦?)σ. ~

Ai: ⊙_⊙……(╬??皿??)? !!

[Damn, I am the leader of a village after all. Even if I lose, can you give me some respect?!]

Ai gritted his teeth and looked ferocious, wishing he could rush up and fight with that bastard Xiaodi!

But until the end, Ai did not put his idea into action, but sighed dejectedly.

"On behalf of the Hidden Cloud Village, I surrender..."

Xiaodi: (ˉ???ˉ?? )?~

"Okay, then you come over here and have your ninjas stay where they are."

"What are you...or the people behind you going to do with us?"

"Don't worry, you'll know when you come over."

"……it is good."

Ai followed his instructions and ordered the surviving ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village to rest where they were, while he walked alone towards Xiaodi who was standing on the big white bird.

But just after Ai completely walked out of the team of surviving ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village, Xiao Di, who had been hovering in the air, suddenly smiled at him, then turned around and shouted to White Zetsu below.

"shot!"

Ai: ????ДO???? !!

White Zetsu:＜(￣︶￣)↗[YES SIR! ! !]

Da da da da da da!

For a moment, apart from the sound of the six barrels of the Vulcan cannon spinning rapidly and the explosion sound caused by the friction of the bullets in the air... there was no other sound in the world.
