Chapter 378 The Hidden Cloud Village's Home Was Stolen

The Land of Fire is widely recognized as the richest and most livable country in the ninja world. This fertile land has been coveted by neighboring countries since ancient times.

Now, the flames of war have finally reached the territory of the Land of Fire.

The three-way alliance of Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure invaded this rich land. The three-way alliance came with great force, showing that they were determined to divide this big piece of meat up and devour it.

At the Cloud Village's forward strategic command headquarters, the muscular Raikage sat before a sand table, surrounded by the Cloud Village's AI team. They were analyzing the current situation and formulating the next battle plan.

"Lord Raikage, the resistance from Konoha is more intense than we anticipated, and our advance is now much slower than expected."

"The team that put up the fiercest resistance on the front line and had the strongest fighting power was the Hyuga clan's team."

"Hmph, these people aren't afraid of death."

"What's this about being afraid of death? Even if they are afraid of death, they would still risk their lives to protect the so-called main family."

"However, there is a kid among these people named Hyuga Neji whose strength is beyond imagination. He has killed many of our good fighters."

"Bang!"

Lei Ying Ai slammed his hand on the table.

"What's the point of discussing this? Since these guys are putting up such a stubborn resistance, let's crush them with overwhelming force! Tomorrow, I'll go with you to personally shatter their defenses."

Seeing the Raikage's resolute attitude, the others didn't know what to say.

They had no choice but to temporarily set aside the tough nut of Hyuga and turn their attention to other fronts.

After all, the Raikage has already decided to take action personally, so unless they encounter the Hokage of Konoha, isn't this a piece of cake?

"Lord Raikage, something terrible has happened!"

Just as everyone was beginning to discuss the other front, a ninja from Kumogakure rushed in.

These are ninjas from the communications squad, whose main responsibility is to maintain communications between the front lines and the rear.

"What's with all this panic? Tell me, what happened?"

Lei Ying Ai gave a stern rebuke.

The communications ninja calmed down and immediately reported.

"Lord Raikage, the Akatsuki have attacked the village."

"what!"

"Damn it! Is this a trick by Konoha?"

"While we were advancing on the front lines, the Akatsuki raided our base. How despicable Konoha is."

"Hmph, isn't this Konoha's usual tactic? Didn't Konoha's White Fang steal from Sunagakure's rear back then?"

"Then what should we do now?"

"Don't panic!"

The Raikage, who is usually short-tempered, actually calmed down this time.

"Should we report on the extent of the damage to the village first?"

"That's what the communications ninja replied."

"The Akatsuki attacked the village, but the village did not suffer much damage. However, they attacked the village's tomb."

The place where the ashes of Jinjiao and Yinjiao were kept has been destroyed.

"The village's tombs were attacked?"

Raikage frowned, momentarily unable to understand what these guys were trying to do.

They attacked the village, but instead of targeting a vital logistical facility during the war, they attacked the tomb.

"Lord Raikage, could there be some kind of conspiracy involved?"

"Hey communications officer, are you sure only the tomb was damaged in the village, and there were no other losses?"

"Yes, the village reported that after the group broke into the village, they went straight to the location of the tomb."

"That's really strange. What exactly is going on?"

"All right!"

Ray Shadow Ai tapped on the table.

"Since the village hasn't suffered any other losses, there's no need to stay together. Let's stick to the original plan and break through Konoha's defenses first!"

"Yes!"

Night falls on the front lines of Konoha.

Inside the camp, Neji was helping the wounded members of the Hyuga branch family treat their injuries.

Looking at these injured branch family members, and thinking of the main family members hiding in Konoha, Neji's mood plummeted.

"Get some rest, you'll get better."

"Thank you, Neji-sama. Please take good care of yourself."

Looking at the young Neji, the heavily injured clansmen felt a pang of emotion.

It's truly incomprehensible that someone as talented as Neji is sent to the front lines to die simply because he's from a branch family. It's just so unfair.

With Neji's talent, he could have grown to an unprecedented level if given more time.

Neji forced a smile.

"Don't worry, I will. Everything will be alright once the war is over."

"Yes, I believe you, Neji-sama."

"Get some rest."

Neji left the tent, his smile vanishing instantly.

"Konoha, Hyuga, just wait, all of this will change."

As Tetsuya's junior apprentice, he naturally knew about the Federation's affairs.

For him now, all he needs to do is hold on until the Federation enters the fray, and everything will be rewritten.

Inside the forward command tent.

A group of Konoha Jonin are having a meeting.

"Intelligence indicates that the main force of the Hidden Cloud Village is already moving towards us."

"It seems they want to break through our defenses first."

"I have already requested assistance from the Hokage, and he has dispatched personnel to provide support."

"At this point, who else can come to our aid?"

"Yes, compared to other lines of defense, we are under the least pressure."

Kai, standing to the side, gave a thumbs up and said.

"I know that. The ones who came to our aid this time are Kakashi and his Team 7!"

"Kakashi?"

"If it were Kakashi, we might indeed be in a better position."

"Yes."

"However, the support will not arrive until at least tomorrow morning, so we need to remain vigilant."

"Alright, in that case, this meeting is adjourned."

"Yosh! To better prepare for tomorrow, I'm going to do thirty handstand patrols right now!"

"Hey Kai, don't waste too much energy."

"Don't worry, it's just patrolling upside down for thirty times. That's barely a warm-up!"

As he spoke, Kai did a handstand and ran out of the tent.

Seeing that this guy was always full of energy and enthusiasm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After running around for a while, Kai saw Neji coming out of the camp.

"Neji!"

"Teacher Kai."

You don't seem to be in a very good mood.

"It's alright, it's just that seeing my injured comrade made me feel a little uncomfortable."

"Is that so? Neji, you really are a good kid who cares about your comrades."

Kai praised Neji and then extended an invitation.

"When you're in a bad mood or feeling unwell, a walk can be a great way to relieve it. How about coming with me for a walk, and we can do a patrol around the area while we're at it?"

Neji initially wanted to refuse, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded.

"Let's do it together, Teacher Kai."

"Well done! I can feel your youthful passion!"

The two, one large and one small, one upright and one upside down, left the camp following the patrol route.

Under the cover of night, a group of people were rushing towards this place.
