Chapter 092: Surprise Attack

Faced with Terumi Mei's question, the Silver Superman nodded. "This is the fastest and best way to end the chaos."

Terumi Mei nodded helplessly, deciding to follow the Silver Superman to the end. So they captured the envoy sent by the Water Country daimyo and imprisoned him.

Then, Terumi Mei used the Transformation Technique to become the envoy and, with a few subordinates, returned to the daimyo's residence to report.

When the Water Country daimyo saw Terumi Mei disguised as the envoy, the fall of the Water Country was sealed.

Terumi Mei had her subordinates use genjutsu to successfully control the Water Country daimyo and his chief ministers. Thus, the Water Country silently fell into the hands of the Hidden Mist Village.

Others were completely unaware of all this.

Subsequently, Terumi Mei led a group of powerful ninjas across the sea and set foot on the land of the Lightning Country. Ostensibly, they were to join forces with the ninjas of the Lightning Country to form an allied army and jointly attack the Fire Country.

Upon hearing this, the Raikage immediately dispatched his trusted subordinate, Samui, to welcome the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village.

She was a jonin of the Hidden Cloud Village, knowledgeable, calm, and cautious, deeply trusted by the Fourth Raikage.

At the same time, she had a voluptuous figure, a calm personality, extensive knowledge, and was skilled with a short blade. She was a beauty with fair skin and short yellow hair, making her the perfect choice to welcome Terumi Mei.

After the two sides met, Samui warmly entertained Terumi Mei.

This made Terumi Mei feel a bit guilty, but thinking of the Silver Superman's orders, she quickly calmed down.

That night, both sides set up camp in the wilderness, preparing to set off the next day to join the ninjas of the Hidden Rock Village in the Earth Country.

However, late into the night, when everyone was fast asleep, Terumi Mei led the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village in a silent surprise attack on the Hidden Cloud Village's forces.

By the time Samui reacted, the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village had already suffered heavy losses.

Furious, Samui found Terumi Mei and couldn't help shouting, "Why? Why attack us? What is the Hidden Mist Village doing?"

Terumi Mei said calmly, "Everything is by order of the Mizukage."

Samui gritted her teeth and said, "Your Mizukage is indeed a madman."

Terumi Mei made no comment. She formed hand seals and spat out a sticky, highly corrosive acid. Seeing this, Samui dared not take it head-on and quickly dodged.

Although both were ninjas, unfortunately, Terumi Mei's strength far exceeded Samui's.

Samui was merely an elite jonin, while Terumi Mei was a genuine Kage-level powerhouse.

Not long after the fight began, Samui was being crushed by Terumi Mei.

At the same time, the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village were also being crushed by those of the Hidden Mist Village. With the help of the Silver Superman, the Hidden Mist Village's strength had greatly increased, and the Hidden Cloud Village was no match.

Moreover, this time the Hidden Mist Village directly ambushed the Hidden Cloud Village, catching them off guard. The advantage was further amplified; for the Hidden Cloud Village to turn the tables was nothing short of a pipe dream.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the Hidden Cloud Village finally collapsed across the board.

Only a small number saw the situation was dire and fled, but most were either killed or captured by the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village.

Even Samui herself was no exception.

"The Raikage will not let you off," Samui said, her hands and feet bound, a prisoner, yet her eyes remained sharp as she stared at Terumi Mei, unafraid of death.

Terumi Mei said expressionlessly, "You cannot win this battle. The Raikage may be strong, but unfortunately, our Mizukage is a true monster."

Samui sneered, "I hope you can still say that when the Raikage arrives."

Terumi Mei sighed and said, "You'd better hope the Raikage doesn't appear on the battlefield, or else he won't be able to leave."

Terumi Mei knew her Mizukage all too well.

Although young, his strength was terrifyingly immense. Sometimes she even wondered if their Mizukage had already surpassed Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi.

...

Soon, the news that the Hidden Mist had betrayed the alliance and attacked the Hidden Cloud reached the Hidden Cloud Village and the ears of the Fourth Raikage, A. For a moment, Raikage A couldn't believe his ears.

"What? The Hidden Mist betrayed us and captured our ninjas!!"

Upon hearing this news, the Raikage flew into a rage, smashing the table before him to pieces. He stood up and strode outside, determined to rescue his subordinates.

His guards did not stop him.

The Hidden Mist's betrayal and their comrades' capture filled them with fury as well. Now only the enemy's blood could wash away the anger in their hearts and save their companions.

Thus, everyone quickly prepared to set out.

Although the Raikage was a hothead, he had no shortage of wise subordinates. For instance, his secretary, Mabui, was calm, intelligent, and talented, skilled at analyzing the situation and handling affairs efficiently.

While all her comrades were burning with rage, she calmly analyzed the situation, coordinated logistics, and prepared for the upcoming battle.

Because she knew well that when everyone was furious, she could not stop this fight.

So she could only calmly support her comrades and prevent them from falling into traps.

That was the only thing she could do.

With Mabui's help, the Raikage led thousands of his ninjas and hurried to the battlefield, soon spotting the ninjas of the Hidden Mist.

Among them were indeed many of their Hidden Cloud ninjas.

However, at this moment, the hotheaded Raikage calmed down. He sent ninjas to scout repeatedly, searching for traps in the vicinity.

He did not want to lead his men headlong into a trap set by the enemy.

He was a hothead, not a fool.

After some probing, the Raikage quickly discovered that the Hidden Mist ninjas had not set any traps. Instead, they were staying put in a swaggering manner, which made the Raikage suspicious.

"What are these guys up to?"

In fact, not only the Raikage but also the ninjas around him were astonished.

Because the Hidden Mist's behavior was far too abnormal.

"Forget it, let's rescue our comrades first!" Unable to figure it out, Raikage A decided to charge in headfirst. He figured that with his strength, even if something unexpected happened, he could retreat safely.

The next second, the Raikage turned into a bolt of lightning and charged at the Hidden Mist ninjas.

The Fourth Raikage was proficient in nintaijutsu, using Lightning Release to stimulate his body's cells for high-speed movement. His astonishing speed rivaled that of Minato Namikaze, as fast as a blue lightning bolt!
