Chapter 262

The coffin in front of Orochimaru was suddenly closed.

A mark of 'First' flashed by.

At the same time.

Land of Lightning, Cloud Hidden Village.

In the conference room of the Raikage Building.

The few remaining high-level officials sat in their seats, silent.

And on the conference table, the main seat and the two vice-seats on its left and right were all empty.

These seats belonged to the Third Raikage, who was publicly executed by the Land of Whirlpools,

as well as the Fourth Raikage candidate, Lord A, and the Cloud Hidden Village Chief of Staff, Lord Daitan, who went to the Land of Whirlpools to rescue the Third Raikage but never returned.

The entire conference room was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but stare at those three empty seats, their faces filled with sadness.

They were also thinking, if the Third Raikage hadn't challenged that Captain from the Land of Whirlpools at the Five Kage Summit, would the Cloud Hidden Village have ended up in this state?

But there was no regret medicine in this world, nor was there a chance to start over. Things had already happened, so they should think about what to do in the future.

The current situation of the Land of Lightning was very awkward.

Because after losing the Third Raikage and the Raikage candidate, the vast Cloud Hidden Village couldn't even find a suitable candidate for Raikage.

In the Cloud Hidden Village, to become Raikage, besides powerful strength, the most important thing was a tough hand.

In this regard, the Night Moon Clan was very suitable for their Raikage candidates.

So the Raikages of all generations were also served by the Clan Head of the Night Moon Clan.

But now the Third Raikage and A had suddenly died.

Even the Night Moon Clan couldn't provide the Cloud Hidden Village with two more ninjas as powerful as the Third Raikage or A.

Therefore, this Raikage could only be chosen from within the Cloud Hidden Village.

But until now, they didn't have a suitable candidate.

So much so that the current Cloud Hidden Village was leaderless.

Added to the threat of the Hollows, the entire Land of Lightning revealed a feeling that the building was about to collapse.

Making the people of the Land of Lightning panic, and order was gradually showing a trend of collapse.

Even the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning couldn't sit still and issued an ultimatum to the Cloud Hidden Village, telling them to choose a Raikage as soon as possible and solve the threat of the Hollows in the country!

But the Cloud Hidden Village no longer had the time to pay attention to the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning.

Now they were gathered here because they had received intelligence sent by Kōroga.

The Hollows were about to thoroughly take action against their Land of Lightning!

This news gave them a huge headache.

At the same time, they also learned the news that the force behind these Hollows had declared war on the entire Ninja World.

You say you declare war, then declare war, but why did you have to pick on their Land of Lightning?

Who did their Land of Lightning offend?

"What should we do?"

Someone couldn't help but ask the question.

Others looked at each other, speechless.

No one could give an answer to this question.

The current Land of Lightning, relying on its numerical advantage and the Eight-Tails, could barely withstand the attacks of those Hollows in the Land of Lightning.

But it was also in a precarious state.

If more Hollows came, they really wouldn't be able to hold on.

"What do Iwagakure and Konoha say?"

Now, the only solution they could think of was to seek help from other ninja villages.

Besides, didn't they form some kind of Ninja Alliance?

Their Land of Lightning was also a part of the Ninja World!

They couldn't just stand by and watch.

"The situation is not very optimistic; the assembly and deployment of the Ninja Alliance still need time. Their meaning is for us to hold on first, and wait for their Ninja Alliance to finish assembling, then they will come to support."

By the time they come, the opportunity will probably be gone.

Others muttered silently in their hearts.

A sense of sorrow surged in their hearts.

The Land of Lightning, I'm afraid it's really going to be finished now...

"By the way, Iwagakure said, no matter what, the Eight-Tails must be kept alive!"

"The Ninja Alliance needs the power of the Eight-Tails!"

Someone couldn't help but say: "But the Eight-Tails doesn't listen to our orders at all!"

Nonsense, the Eight-Tails wishes it could use the horns on its head to plow through the Land of Lightning!

How could it listen to them!

If it weren't for the Eight-Tails and that giant fighting, maybe the Land of Lightning would have been finished long ago.

Just then, Burubi, covered in bandages, walked in from outside the door.

"Burubi, you're awake?!"

A flash of surprise immediately crossed the eyes of the others.

Burubi was also a clansman of the Night Moon Clan and the nephew of the Third Raikage.

His potential was extremely high; if Burubi could recover and be trained for a few more years, he would definitely be qualified for the position of Raikage!

This could already be considered the only good news for the Land of Lightning in recent days.

Unfortunately, the Cloud Hidden Village no longer had much time.

Burubi also understood the current situation of the Cloud Hidden Village and said firmly: "Seal the Eight-Tails again; I want to become the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki!"

Whoosh—

Everyone suddenly stood up, staring at Burubi, completely shocked by Burubi's words.

"Burubi, are you joking? The Eight-Tails is..."

Burubi was expressionless; he knew what they wanted to say.

Because the previous experiments for the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki all ended in failure.

Those who became the experimental subjects for the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki were all killed by the rampaging Eight-Tails without exception.

But the current Cloud Hidden Village...

He took a deep breath. His eyes were firm as he said: "We have no other choice."

The Land of Lightning now urgently needs someone who can hold the fort to stand up!

And becoming the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is the fastest shortcut to increase strength!

Burubi's eyes were deep as he said: "Don't worry, I won't die..."

He still has to live to take revenge for the dead Raikage and A!!

Woo woo woo—

Just then, a level-one alarm suddenly sounded in the village!

The loud alarm bell resounded throughout the entire Cloud Hidden Village.

Burubi's expression changed, and he looked through the window of the Raikage Building at the sky outside.

The torn space instantly filled the entire sky with black!

In the black space, one strange-looking creature after another walked out, and soon covered the sky of the Cloud Hidden Village.

Burubi stared at the densely packed monsters in the sky, his pupils instantly dilated several times!

The army of Hollows has invaded!!

"Ahhhhh!!"

In the Cloud Hidden Village, terrified sounds instantly rang out.

But soon, some sounds stopped abruptly.

The owners of those sounds were bitten by these Hollows!

Burubi clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, but his reason told him not to be overwhelmed by anger!

He suppressed his anger. He grabbed the person beside him and gritted his teeth: "Quick! Send me to the Eight-Tails; I want to become the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki immediately!!"
