Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

If it was the older brother from before, he would never be like this.

The big brother now is like a gambler who can’t afford to lose…

It's really not handsome at all.

If Ai had not given Kirabi a lot of care and support, he would have almost turned around and left.

"Bi, what are you thinking about?"

Noticing Kirabi's unusual mood, Ai's voice softened a little.

"nothing……"

Kirabi replied in a muffled voice.

This is something that is on your mind.

Ai was not good at speaking, so he remained silent.

The group walked forward in silence and arrived at the Konoha Forest.

Ai looked at the dense forest ahead and couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart.

This sneak attack on Konoha is of great significance to the Hidden Cloud Village.

Ai also knew that such an action was not glorious, but he had no choice now.

"Into the forest!"

"Yes!"

The group jumped into the forest.

Unlike rocky terrain, the environment in the forest is more complex.

Few people come here, so there are spider webs and some messy branches on the road.

However, these have no impact on the Raikage team at all.

They were moving at an extremely fast speed, and in just a moment, they entered the heart of the forest.

However, Ai noticed that Kirabi seemed a little absent-minded at the moment, as if something was bothering him.

"Bi, if you have any opinions about this operation, you can tell me." Ai felt that he couldn't go on like this, so he tried to break the silence and asked with concern.

Kirabi raised his head, glanced at Ai, then lowered his head again and said softly: "Brother, I still feel that our action this time is not in line with our purpose."

"And it may not succeed..."

"……anything else?"

Ai's face darkened. He understood Kirabi's concerns, but the arrow was already on the string and had to be shot.

"Nothing."

"Put these concerns behind you."

Ai said in a low voice.

"If you keep thinking too much like this, the end result will be death on the battlefield."

"I don't want to see you die."

"Well, brother..." Kirabi sighed and said nothing more.

He knew Ai wouldn't listen to his advice, but he still had to say what he had to say.

At this moment, a team has entered the depths of Konoha Forest.

The trees here are tall and dense, with leaves so dense that they block out the sun.

There was a large and dense dark area in front of my eyes. It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.

"Be careful."

Ai reminded.

suddenly,

A gust of wind blew, and the leaves rustled.

Kirabi stopped alertly and looked around vigilantly.

Although he did not agree with this battle, he also noticed something strange when he entered the combat state.

"There is a position of chakra ahead, could it be an enemy ambush?"

Kirabi held the thunder blade tightly in his hand. Even in such a dark environment, he did not intend to take off his sunglasses.

"Well... never mind."

Ai looked indifferent.

"If you're discovered, just fight your way through!"

As long as he doesn't meet those two people, Ai is still very confident.

"Chirp!"

Just as everyone was dealing with possible danger, a white bird suddenly flew down from the tree and landed on Kirabi's shoulder.

"Oh! It's a little bird!" Kirabi looked at the bird in surprise. It was all white, and it tilted its little head and looked at him in confusion.

"Look, brother, this little bird is not afraid of people."

"Bi! Get out of the way!"

"what?"

A puzzled expression appeared on Kirabi's face, but at this moment, the little bird on his shoulder suddenly emitted white light!

"That's a bird made of exploding clay!"

at the same time.

In the woods in the distance.

"Art is explosion! Drink!"

Boom!

The small explosion instantly broke the tranquility of the woods!

"Compare!!"

Ai's eyes suddenly turned red, and lightning armor instantly surrounded his body!

"How dare you do this!"

He roared, and his speed suddenly increased to the fastest!

In just a moment, it crashed into several giant trees and came directly to Deidara, who was wearing a black robe with red clouds in the distance!

"Another member of Akatsuki!"

When Ai saw this outfit, all new and old hatreds came flooding back to him!

"Oh? Have you seen anyone from our organization before?"

Deidara was not panicked at all, and even laughed.

"It seems like they left a deep impression on you. I hope you'll remember me in the future, too."

After saying this, his body began to swell strangely!

? !

Ai's fist hit Deidara almost at the same time!

However, the feeling from the fist was sticky.

Clay stand-in!

Ai reacted instantly, but his expression remained calm.

"You think you can hurt me like this?"

"Lightning attribute chakra is specifically designed to restrain earth escape!"

Explosion also belongs to earth escape!

The clay stand that Deidara left in place instantly lost its ability to explode after being surrounded by lightning.

It becomes distorted, like a broken statue, and stays in the same place.

"So... where did the real body hide?"

Ai's face looked ugly, and at the same time he had some vague guesses in his mind.

Could it be that Akatsuki has some connection with Konoha?

think carefully.

Konoha is basically the winner of every war.

This in itself is a bit suspicious.

In these wars, the Akatsuki organization appeared...

This made Ai think more about the connection between the two.

"No, that's not right!"

The thought just flashed through his mind for a moment, and he quickly rejected his own opinion.

The simplest reason is that the relationship between Deidara and the Tsuchikage is very special.

Basically, he was trained as a last-ditch disciple.

There is no reason for him to join the Akatsuki organization and help Konoha deal with other countries.

"So it was just a coincidence?"

While Ai stood there thinking and on guard.

Some thin chakra threads silently connected to the joints of Deidara's clay clone's limbs!

"drink!"

The clay clone, which was originally unable to move, suddenly punched out!

boom!

Ai was caught off guard and was hit directly in the face!

"what!"

He was shocked and angry, covering his face and backing away for a long distance.

"Oh my god! Cough cough cough!"

Not far away, Kirabi saw this scene and shouted in surprise.

"Brother got beaten!"

He didn't have many injuries on his body.

Because at the moment the explosion occurred, the Eight-Tails sensed the danger and released the tailed beast in advance, wrapping him in chakra and avoiding the attack.

This is also the advantage of the perfect Jinchūriki.

There is a tailed beast plug-in.

Not only does it provide chakra, but it can also serve as a second perspective to observe the battle.

However, Ai did not have a tailed beast and did not notice the opponent's sneak attack.

Just like that, he was defeated in one blow!

"Lord Raikage!"

The guards who came with them rushed forward!

"Don't come here!"

Ai rubbed his nose, and then saw that the guards moved faster!

On their bodies, there are some thin threads sticking to the joints of their limbs.
