Chapter 695: Devil's Playground!
Inazuma said in a grim tone, "No! We can't wait for the Fourth to return! We have to make a move!"
A look of surprise appeared on the council members around him. No one expected him to keep insisting on his original idea. Mabui said, "We don't have any rank S ninjas inside the village to take him on. If we try, a lot of our ninjas will lose their lives pointlessly. Not to mention, we could even irk him and change his mind about waiting for four hours."
Inazuma shook his head and replied, "Death is better than living without any dignity. The morale of our ninjas will drop to rock bottom if we don't even show the will to fight against someone who has taken over our headquarters. Our enemies will be emboldened as well. Once the next Great War breaks out, we'll suffer heavily due to this."
Even though he said so, others weren't convinced. One of the council members said, "We've already lost a lot of ninjas. Don't forget that Darui's army suffered heavily against him. If we lose any more ninjas, this might become another incident like the one in the Land of Hot Water. We can't take responsibility for such losses."
Mabui became even more depressed after hearing her words. The remaining council members were still unaware that everyone in six bases was missing or that Darui's army had already suffered much damage due to the trap. Only she knew that this incident was already several times worse!
Inazuma sighed and said, "As I said, there's no other choice. What do you think everyone will think if none of the over ten thousand ninjas in the village dared to make a move against someone who challenged and insulted our entire village?
I will take responsibility for this. Once Akuro is dealt with, I'll accept the blame for any deaths until the Fourth returns and resign from the council."
Everyone's expression became solemn. Inazuma had been the oldest and longest-serving member on the Kumogakure council. He also held the most influence after Ay and was usually the one to tone down Ay's aggression. None of them expected him to make such a sacrifice.
Inazuma turned his gaze towards the window where Fujin was standing earlier and said, "Besides, don't take everything at face value. Darui said that Akuro's chakra reserves might have dropped low. Perhaps these 4 hours are just for him to recover his chakra.
I'm not sure where the Fourth is, but if he's too far away and has to use the Lightning Chakra Mode to return quickly to the village, then he'll be very exhausted by the time he returns. He might be at a disadvantage against a fully rested Akuro. If he falls or is seriously injured like Jin, then our village will be in grave danger!
In addition, all our official documents are in the building as well. He may say that he's from an ancient era, but if that is a lie and he is from one of the other villages, then he will take this opportunity to get all our secrets. I don't need to tell you guys what the consequences would be if those secrets leaked."
Everyone followed Inazuma's gaze with an ugly expression. In truth, they knew this in their hearts as well. However, none of them wanted to accept it as the cost would be too heavy. Since Inazuma took initiative and responsibility, no one could oppose him. Under Inazuma's orders, the Kumo ninjas immediately got into action while Mabui informed Darui about Ay's orders.
Inside the building, Fujin was inside the Raikage's office when a couple of clones teleported next to him. They handed him a couple of scrolls and dispelled themselves to transfer the memories to him.
A smile appeared on Fujin's face as he looked at the scrolls and thought, 'Good. Everything in that scroll is copied in this one. And this scroll has all the elemental crystals. What a good loot... I can finally use Lightning crystals to improve my Lightning affinity a bit.
Nanako answered, "As I said earlier, the seals are interconnected. Any attack will be distributed along the entire network. We could destroy it with enough attacks, but that would cause the building to collapse as well. In addition, there are several explosive seals in the seal network. They'll be triggered and everything inside the building will be destroyed, except Akuro of course. I doubt he'd be foolish enough to leave himself vulnerable."
Inazuma immediately rejected that option. Ever since Kumogakure was established, there had never been an instance where the Raikage Building had fallen. He didn't intend to be the one to do it. Not to mention, the loss of all the important documents would create a lot of work and he knew that Ay would give that task to him since he'd take the responsibility.
Inazuma sighed and said, "This is even more dangerous than I imagined... Summon the ninjas who can use Elemental Clones. Send eight clones through each pathway! Nanako, you send a couple as well. Keep a close eye on the seals inside the building and improve your understanding of this seal network. Mabui, instruct the sensors to begin their task"
Nanako and Mabui nodded. Within a few minutes, a few gaps opened up in the barrier as 64 clones entered inside. At the same time, several sensors activated their chakra field, covering the entire village!
Fujin realized Kumogakure's intentions but didn't even pay any attention to it. Instead, a wide smile appeared behind his mask as he thought, 'Good. Let me see how good my third battlefield technique is. Welcome to the Devil's Playground.'
