Chapter 171

And at the third minute, Madara Uchiha finally triggered a tiny bit of that power.

A small patch of silver-white keratin appeared on his face, and immediately after, Madara Uchiha clenched his fist and punched toward the small hill in front of him.

Boom!

A flash of red light flickered, and the next second, the small hill exploded!

"This power is very strong, and it can also serve as a surprise attack.

I just don't know if it can directly cause damage to people."

Madara Uchiha looked at his fist, very satisfied with that move; although it was only one strike, all that mysterious power had dissipated.

The keratin on his face also vanished, but for Madara Uchiha, since he already had the method, that power would return to him sooner or later!

The Hidden Cloud Village...

"Bastards! The Akatsuki actually killed Killer Bee! I will tear them to pieces!"

The Fourth Raikage smashed the table with an angry punch; he had originally wanted to investigate to see who dared to kill his brother.

At first, he thought it was the Immortal Organization, thinking there was no way to take revenge.

But now that he knew it was the Akatsuki, what else did he have to worry about?

He couldn't beat the Immortal Organization, but surely he could beat the Akatsuki, right?

"Send out all the jonin in the village; I want to find the Akatsuki and make them pay in blood!"

Watching the Fourth Raikage in a fit of rage, Mabui pushed up her glasses.

Lord Fourth Raikage's temper was truly as irritable as ever; even after being defeated, he was still so unwilling to admit defeat.

But now was not the time to worry about that!

"Lord Fourth Raikage, we have more important matters to manage.

Recently, there have been multiple haunting incidents in the village, and some ninja have even died because of them.

But there is still no news about the culprit.

However, some ninja with special Kekkei Genkai say they can often see mysterious phantoms.

They suspect those phantoms are the ones causing the trouble!"

The Fourth Raikage calmly finished listening to Mabui's analysis, then thought about it for a few minutes.

In the end, he decided to just charge in!

"In that case, find those ninja with special Kekkei Genkai.

Just find those phantoms and disperse them all!"

The Fourth Raikage's solution was very simple.

However, when night came, they attacked in the direction pointed out by the special Kekkei Genkai users.

The result was nothing; all attacks missed.

This made the Fourth Raikage's expression look somewhat ugly.

If it weren't for the fact that they were people from the same village and trusted by many,

he would have suspected they were lying to him to get a reward from the village.

"What on earth is going on? Why does the ninja world feel increasingly strange?

All nine Tailed Beasts have dissipated, and invisible ghosts are wreaking havoc on everyone in our village."

The Fourth Raikage was extremely violent at this moment; he felt like everything was going wrong.

And just then, he faintly heard other people's voices in his ears!

"Who is it!"

The Fourth Raikage roared, and Mabui, not far away, was startled; she looked at the Fourth Raikage with some confusion.

However, at this moment, an assistant came jogging over from afar.

"Report to Lord Fourth Raikage! The Hidden Leaf Village, the Hidden Sand Village, the Hidden Grass Village, and the Hidden Stone Village are all experiencing the exact same situation!

Ghost incidents have appeared in the villages, outside the villages, and throughout the lands!

The villages don't have enough ninja, can't find the source, and there are ninja casualties!"

The messenger secretary said all the news in one breath, which made the Fourth Raikage's brow furrow even tighter.

He had just heard strange voices too; this meant the ghosts were likely real!

However, just then, he suddenly thought of something!

"What about the Hidden Mist Village? What is the situation in the Hidden Mist Village now? I remember the Immortal Organization is over there, right?

And the Hidden Rain Village, has any news been gathered from their side?"

The Fourth Raikage suddenly asked, thinking of the two most mysterious organizations in the ninja world.

One was the Akatsuki, whose base was in the Hidden Rain Village, right?

The other was the Immortal Organization, whose base was in the Hidden Mist Village!

Thinking of this, the Fourth Raikage fixed his gaze on the secretary.

Seeing this, the secretary spoke up:

"News from the Hidden Rain Village cannot be gathered; even if jonin are sent, they return empty-handed.

As for the Hidden Mist Village, they are the same as the Hidden Rain Village..."

"I understand, Itachi may go now."

The Fourth Raikage dismissed the secretary, then turned his gaze to Mabui.

Some things could only be discussed with Mabui and left for her to arrange, so the Fourth Raikage waved his hand to dismiss the rest of his subordinates.

Seeing this, Mabui immediately understood that the Fourth Raikage had something to discuss with her.

"Lord Fourth Raikage, what should we do next?"

"We must know the news inside the Hidden Rain Village and the Hidden Mist Village; they likely have a solution!

Have Samui's team infiltrate the Hidden Mist Village, and Darui infiltrate the Hidden Rain Village!"

The Fourth Raikage said after a moment of silence; he had determined the candidates in just a few seconds.

Samui had a good face and was very clever.

Their team going to the Hidden Mist Village was most appropriate; after all, compared to the Akatsuki, the Immortal Organization was definitely easier to approach.

And sending Darui to the Akatsuki was because his strength was very solid, and he was the most likely to return alive after gathering intelligence from the Akatsuki!

After all, as the Fourth Raikage, he could not go that far away.

That would cause turmoil in the Hidden Cloud Village, but Darui was different.

This could also be considered a trial for Darui!

After all, if nothing unexpected happened, this guy would become the next Raikage, right?

After its high-end combat power died time and time again, the Hidden Sand Village had completely fallen to the level of a large ninja village.

If it weren't for Granny Chiyo occasionally coming out to hold things together, the entire Hidden Sand Village would probably have been carved up by others, right?

Not necessarily; it might just have disappeared into the desert like that.

After all, the environment here was truly too harsh; other ninja villages didn't want to occupy this place from the bottom of their hearts, nor did they want to attack.

On the other side, in the Hidden Stone Village.

Their village could be considered one of the ninja villages with the fewest losses.

Unlike the Hidden Grass Village, which, after that great war, had gone from a large ninja village to a medium-sized one, right?

If it weren't for the fact that there were many surrounding villages that all needed such a chaotic place, the Hidden Grass Village would probably have been wiped out long ago.

This was also thanks to the fact that not many powerful ninja died in the Hidden Grass Village during the great war.

The strength of a village was not just about population; it was also related to high-end combat power.

If one possessed high-end combat power, no matter how small the village was, it could eventually become a large ninja village.

"I really didn't expect that so many strange things would appear in these past few days.

I can't see those ghosts either, but fortunately, my Particle Style can deal with them.

It's just... sigh..."

Onoki sighed long and hard; he couldn't see those guys and could only use Particle Style to blast around randomly.

It was fine if he hit something, but if he missed, not only did he waste chakra,

but the Particle Style would also cause no small amount of damage to the surroundings.
