"Understood."
Shimizu smiled faintly.

Yashiro En's request was exactly what he wanted.
"Attack!"
Yashiro Yo shouted, and a group of Chinoike elders instantly revealed their Ketsuryugan, rushing towards Shimizu and the others, while he himself charged towards Yekura.
Although Shimizu was clearly the leader among them, Yekura had just demonstrated her strength.
A female ninja with a powerful Kekkei Genkai, perhaps only the clan head of the Chinoike clan, Yashiro Yo, who possessed the strength of an elite Jonin, and Yashiro En, who had just enhanced the power of his Ketsuryugan, were her opponents.
Maki also drew his ninja sword, cooperating with Sata to fight against two Chinoike elders.
Both of them had the strength of regular Jonin, with Sata being slightly stronger, and they didn't fall behind in their battles with their respective opponents.
"Their strength is not bad."
Shimizu chuckled, watching the five Chinoike elders rushing towards him. His movements paused imperceptibly, and then he drew the ninja sword from his waist.
The Ketsuryugan possessed a Genjutsu enhancement no less than the regular Sharingan, which would still have some effect on him.
But it was only a slight effect.
After all, it wasn't the Mangekyo Sharingan; that level of Genjutsu would be enough to cause Shimizu considerable damage.
"Breath of Separation · Sixth Form · Separatist Dragon Night Dance!"
Like a dragon claw reaching out, in just an instant, the five Chinoike elders were decapitated.
If it were Yashiro Yo, Shimizu wouldn't have been able to kill him so easily. With the enhancement of the Ketsuryugan from Hell Valley, he might have been able to barely hold out for a few moves, but these guys were even weaker than Jonin level, and there was already a huge gap between them and Shimizu. On the battlefield, they belonged to the type that Shimizu would mow down effortlessly.
At the same time, outside Hell Valley.
Two tall and sturdy black-skinned strongmen, along with several attendants, arrived at the gate of Hell Valley with a cart of fine wine.
"Dad, I think Yashiro Yo was almost ready to agree last time. This time, we should be able to successfully recruit the Chinoike clan into the village, right?"
A, the Fourth Raikage candidate who had been confirmed last year, asked his father, who was even taller and mightier than him.
He wore a white Cloud ninja flak jacket, wrapped his head with a turban to secure his forehead protector, looking spirited and confident.
"Yes, when we came last time, Yashiro Yo himself should have already agreed, but he needed some time to persuade the clan members to move away from there. Now that some time has passed, we're visiting again, so it should be fine!"
The Third Raikage glanced at the gate of Hell Valley and nodded steadily.
His personality seemed as reckless and violent as A's, but he was more stable and mature than A would be two or three decades later.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi was appointed in a crisis, relying on a group of old classmates and the support of Mito Uzumaki to secure his position as Hokage and lead Konoha through the First Ninja World War, the Third Raikage, after the Second Raikage was assassinated and died, inherited the position and quelled the rebellion of Kinkaku and Ginkaku. With his own strength, he suppressed many who were dissatisfied, truly building Cloud into an extremely united and stable group with a high degree of cohesion.
The Cloud that could overwhelm Konoha during the Third Hokage's second term and become the strongest ninja village at the time in reality, all relied on the foundation laid by the Third Raikage, allowing the Fourth Raikage to develop the power of the Cloud Village without any constraints.
He didn't have a bunch of old classmates with good strength, nor did he have a bigwig like Mito Uzumaki to support him. The Cloud Village's path to its peak was basically all due to this man who crushed all dissent while he was alive.
The Third Raikage only looked violent, but his skills were much stronger than the Hokage of the same period in Konoha Village, who looked steady and experienced.
"Ha! That would be great! I only barely won by one move when I sparred with Yashiro Yo last time. Now my Lightning Release Chakra Mode is nearing completion, so I have to let him have a good look!"
The young strongman walked through the gate of Hell Valley with his arms crossed, laughing loudly.
The Third Raikage looked at his son and smiled easily.
"Then you have to save some face for that old guy!"
The Third Raikage was very satisfied with A.
In his early twenties, he had already cultivated the Lightning Release Chakra Mode to a certain level, and now he had cultivated it to the point of nearing completion, able to activate the strongest Lightning Release Armor. His speed was so fast that even he couldn't keep up.
No one can make a mistake by reading, issuing, or containing content on Yiyi.
The Third Raikage was certain that after Tobirama Senju's death and the disappearance of the Flying Thunder God Technique, his son was the new fastest man in the ninja world.
The current A already possessed strength close to the Kage level. After a few more years of polishing, he would definitely have the strength to serve as one of the Five Kage. This was also the reason why the Third Raikage had established him as the Fourth Raikage candidate early on, and no one objected.
The only thing the Third Raikage regretted was that A hadn't learned the Black Lightning Secret Technique that he developed, and even no one in the village could master Black Lightning now.
Mastering the Lightning Release Chakra Mode was enough to serve as Raikage. If he could master Black Lightning like him, then it would mean that his mastery of Lightning Release could reach the extreme, and he could also temper the strength of his body to the extreme, and also have an additional high-intensity attack method.
At that time, once the Lightning Release Chakra Mode was activated, he could even fight the Eight-Tails in close combat.
In the Third Raikage's view, if a person possessed the Third Raikage's physical strength and A's speed at the same time, unless Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were resurrected, they could steadily suppress any strongman in the ninja world, regardless of who they faced.
Unfortunately, that was very difficult. Even if A was talented, it was almost impossible for him to do it in the future.
Several Cloud ninja slowly walked into Hell Valley, and before long, they stopped.
"Something's wrong, Dad, this bloody smell… something's wrong, it's not the smell of the blood pond in the hot spring, it's human blood!"
A said to the Third Raikage.
The latter had already asked the accompanying sensory ninja to start sensing.
"One kilometer ahead… there are multiple powerful chakra reaction sources, among which there is no aura of the Yo clan leader, but there is an additional chakra reaction at the level of a tailed beast!"
A middle-aged sensory ninja with blond hair shouted.
Something happened!
"Nock, you take the others out first, and notify the garrison troops stationed on the border to come over, all of them! The two of us will go and see first!"
The Third Raikage and A exchanged a glance, and then both transformed into lightning, rushing towards the depths of Hell Valley.
