Chapter 186 : Chapter 186 Cloud Village Mobilizes, Complete! [4/4]
Chapter 186: Kumogakure Mobilizes, Completed! [4/4]
"It seems I need to find some time to visit the Iron-Eating Beast clan's ancestral land."
Masahiko thought to himself.
Sage Mode must be learned!
Only by mastering Sage Mode is there a certain possibility of sensing White Zetsu; otherwise, it's pure blindness. Current sensing Ninjutsu, although capable of perceiving underground changes to a certain extent, ultimately has the drawbacks of continuous consumption and limited range.
Sage Mode can, to some extent, solve this problem.
Moreover—
Sage Mode is also an essential path to becoming stronger.
The next day, in a small town in the Land of Lightning.
Masahiko finished his business here and came out of the house, then saw six figures darting past in the distance.
Although it was just a fleeting glance, he could confirm that the person at the very front was the Fourth Raikage.
Following behind was a Ninja with one eye covered.
Is that Dodai?
Dodai, a Jonin from Hidden Cloud Village, masters Lava Release Ninjutsu and is a pivotal figure in Hidden Cloud Village.
Coupled with the Fourth Raikage—
With such an aggressive stance, is Hidden Cloud Village getting serious?
Masahiko pulled his straw hat down, sat calmly at a small stall, and suppressed his Chakra.
Just then.
[naruto: prequel Episode 22 filming completed!]
[Editing in progress—]
[Production successful!]
[Total screen time: 5 minutes 24 seconds. Screen time percentage: 25.7%]
[Hint: ————]
The low percentage of Episode 22 was within his expectations.
After all, during this time, he didn't interact much with Uzumaki Naruto, spending most of his time training at the base and assisting in building a new system.
In recent days, he had even left the Village.
To have more than four minutes of screen time already surprised Masahiko.
Night.
At the border of the Land of Fire, Masahiko met the border Ninja, conveyed the message to them, and after it was sent back to Konoha, he finally sat down to rest.
He also opened the light screen.
Before him, familiar text and the opening appeared.
It was past eight o'clock.
On the screen, many bullet chat messages had already floated by, and the opening plot—
In the Land of Rivers, amidst the jungle, seven or eight people were hidden in trees and bushes. As the camera rose, various traps and Kikaichū appeared on the screen.
The next second, everyone suddenly tensed up.
Then, a figure approached from a distance, and after reaching a short distance, their speed suddenly increased.
Kunai and shuriken were shot out one after another.
However.
Amidst the dense network of hidden weapons, Masahiko seemed to teleport, instantly bypassing all of them.
They didn't even see how he did it.
The next moment, he had gracefully passed through layers of traps, as if entering an uninhabited land.
By the time the Root Organization members reacted, Masahiko was already close to their stronghold.
Then, it was familiar faces, dialogue, and transactions.
"666—So cool!"
"Nothing more to say, like!"
"Old Danzo still has to bear his own profits and losses, right? This defector seems even worse off than if he hadn't defected—"
"You messed him up like this and still look for him? Be a human!"
A flurry of bullet chat flew by.
Masahiko saw this scene, then looked at the border area, falling into thought.
Indeed.
The probability of such a scene being edited in is extremely high.
He looked at the border, deep in thought.
According to Kumogakure's past mode of operation, this time it's probably another act of internal and external pressure, forcing Konoha to make concessions.
The Fourth Raikage and Dodai's team moving together most likely means the Raikage is at the border, and Dodai leads a small team into Konoha.
So—
Can he also get a piece of the action with the Fourth Raikage this time?
He looked forward, continuing to watch.
Soon, boom!
The battle began.
On the chaotic battlefield, after the camera shifted, it gradually focused on a small squad.
Sasuke had grown stronger.
Even though it was his first time experiencing a battlefield, he still showed astonishing adaptability and rapid progress.
The cooperation of the three was perfect.
Swords and ink intertwined, reaping lives.
Although it wasn't as dazzling as Ninjutsu explosions, the rapidly changing movements and scenes still made the audience exclaim with satisfaction.
It's just—
"Sai has so much screen time?"
"It's not Sai, it seems to be another one with more teammates, these should all be the Village's geniuses."
"They also appeared in a previous episode."
"The others were sent by the Third, but these few are truly the Old Thief's direct subordinates, so they must be different."
After a series of battles, Masahiko's figure flashed and disappeared in the distance.
The next scene, the camera returned to Konoha Village.
On the evening street, Naruto ran quickly, with sushi and milk in his mouth, looking very hurried.
Then, the camera moved quickly with Naruto.
Before long, he saw a suspicious figure near a bathhouse in Konoha.
Naruto immediately shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing hiding here?"
The next second—
Whoosh!
Jiraiya instantly disappeared.
"Don't run!"
Naruto refused to give up and quickly followed.
Around a corner, Jiraiya changed his disguise and brushed past Naruto.
He wiped his forehead, seemingly breaking out in a cold sweat.
The next moment, the camera changed, directly arriving at the scene after Masahiko entered the office the next day, playing out one by one on screen.
Everyone was originally criticizing the so-called Advisor together.
As a result.
After the two of them left, in a blink of an eye—
"Isn't this the peeping tom who was almost caught by Naruto?"
"Damn, and he's one of the Sannin?"
"Orochimaru is poisonous, this one likes to peep, taking the 'lustful' part—could the last one be a gambler?"
"Goodfellas, are all the Sannin like this?"
Jiraiya was not appearing for the first time.
In a previous episode, he had a brief appearance on screen, but at first, no one noticed this white-haired man.
No one expected—
This man who had stalked Naruto, loved to peep, and seemed very unreliable, was actually a character on the same level as Orochimaru.
From the bullet chat, it was clear that everyone's first impression of him wasn't very good.
However—
This also raised another question.
"Wait? I remember, Hiruzen Sarutobi has a Ninjutsu that can observe distant situations directly with a crystal ball?"
"Could it be that the master and apprentice—"
"Hiss! Brother, don't delve into it, the more you think, the more terrifying it gets!"
"Perverted master and apprentice!"
A stream of bullet chat, giving a sense of an idol's image collapsing. Masahiko couldn't help but want to laugh, but it wasn't appropriate to show emotion here—
He suppressed his smile.
Later, it was the plot of his conversation with Jiraiya. Unfortunately, the battle scene was not edited in, only Jiraiya's request was.
And then—
The scene came to a high mountain.
This is Hidden Cloud Village.
In the Hidden Cloud Village office, the Fourth Raikage, Dodai, and Mabui gathered in a room.
Mabui: "Raikage-sama, this plan—"
"As Dodai said, there's no harm in trying."
The Fourth Raikage said, "The current Konoha has just experienced Danzo's betrayal and doesn't dare to fall out with us. At worst, we'll just return empty-handed."
He looked out the window.
"Dodai, you will lead the team to Konoha as an envoy. I will bring people to support you at the border!"
"Yes!"
