Chapter 864

Just as they neared the gate of Yunyin Village, Naruto suddenly broke free from Sasuke's grip with a sharp tug, leapt upward, and slammed a Rasengan straight into Sasuke's lightning-charged arm.

"Bai Chi, you…"

Sasuke's wings dispersed instantly upon impact, and both of them plummeted straight down from the sky toward the ground.

This sudden turn of events, even though anticipated, still startled everyone.

"Sasuke! Naruto!"

Uchiha Obito and Bofengshui Sect's Fourth Hokage both leapt from their wooden birds and chased after the two boys as they fell toward the earth.

"How dare you bully an Uchiha, brat? I'll make you regret it!"

Quannai spotted the village—there was no point in waiting any longer; if they went any further, they'd be landing right in someone's home, and that would be boring. Besides, this Yunyin Village fool actually wore Tobirama out to death? His seventeen-year-old opponent died in such a humiliating way? Unforgivable!

"Evil Uchiha, if you hurt them, I won't let you off!"

Before descending one by one, each still had to put on a show—Tobirama was no exception; he bellowed loudly before diving down after them.

"Should I go help Naruto?"

Gaara was already seated on sand, hovering in midair as he stared intently downward.

By now, Naruto and Sasuke had already landed, unharmed; their Susano'o and Nine-Tails were locked in battle.

Not far from them, Uchiha Obito and Bofengshui Sect's Fourth Hokage did the same—except their colors were different.

"Second Hokage is at a disadvantage in size—should I let Gaara join?"

Temari glanced at the battle below; Quannai also seemed capable of summoning Susano'o, making Second Hokage, a mere mortal, look awkward.

Isn't it time to add one more person?

"No. Their battle must remain uninvolved—anyone who joins will only bring misfortune."

Lin Cheng watched the battle below, guiding the wooden bird forward until it landed precisely at Yunyin Village's gate.

As for the battle outside, Tailed Beast Balls or Susano'o arrow storms already seemed enough to torment Yunyin Village—if two massive Nine-Tails and two or three Susano'o entered the village, it would truly look like they'd come to obliterate it.

Later, they might even have to help Yunyin Village fend off the disaster.

"Who are you?"

Several figures appeared atop the village gate; Yunyin Village's guard ninja immediately rushed forward.

But now they were more alarmed by the colossal figures fighting in the distance—why were these giants appearing in their territory? What was the intelligence division doing?

"We are the Konoha diplomatic delegation, but internal strife has broken out among us. Please inform the Raikage immediately—and prepare your strongest defenses, or your village may be in serious trouble!"

As team leader, even though he couldn't defeat any single one of them, Naruto's words now represented the delegation's stance.

After tossing a scroll to the Yunyin Village ninja, he said no more, turned back, and stared at the fighters, his brow furrowed.

"You stay here. I'll report to my lord the Raikage!"

They had heard of this delegation, but the Raikage had supposedly sent scouts to the border—how could they have arrived with no prior warning?

But regardless, such matters must be handled by the Raikage; they were mere gatekeepers, and dared not act beyond their duty.

"Looks like we scared them. These seniors are truly brutal—fighting is one thing, but to do it right at their doorstep? If even a few Tailed Beast Balls had landed on Yunyin Village, we might never afford the compensation." Daimyo stood beside Kakashi, placing a hand on his shoulder, glancing alternately between the village's outskirts and its interior.

His eyes darted back and forth, as if genuinely guessing where the Tailed Beast Ball might strike.

Two Nine-Tails?

The Raikage intercepted the messenger mid-route, brought him over, and stared in confusion at the Konoha Nine-Tails jinchuriki ahead.

"How did it become two?"

But the moment he asked, Naruto and Bofengshui Sect's Fourth Hokage unleashed their ultimate techniques.

With a shout, as they saw the Tailed Beast Ball hurtling toward them, they dodged sharply to either side.

Because they moved out of the way, the Tailed Beast Ball's target became the gate area of Yunyin Village! The Fourth Raikage, seeing the two Tailed Beast Balls approaching, could not block them—he could only dodge swiftly.

The two Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Balls struck, obliterating everything behind them; the nearby buildings vanished instantly, and Yunyin Village's outer defenses were wiped clean.

A strange cry erupted from within the village, rushing toward the gate—only to be instantly blocked. The Tailed Beast Form was halted before it could engage the outsiders. This doesn't require you to act—I believe the Konoha delegation owes us an explanation! Since the Third Raikage, war has never ceased; now, under the Fourth Raikage, it's no different.

But he never imagined someone would dare attack right at his doorstep, let alone with such arrogance.

"If Lord Raikage thinks he can stop us, go ahead and try—we lack the strength. As for an explanation? It's just a family brawl. Your Yunyin Village is merely inconveniently located!"
