?Chapter 612: Chapter 547: Delivery to the Door Chapter 612: Chapter 547: Delivery to the Door Tao Yu decided to settle in the Village Hidden by Clouds first and secure Two-Tails as a safety measure.
As for whether Gondor might misunderstand something, it didn’t really matter.
When the time came, the Village Hidden by Clouds would handle the negotiations, which could explain some issues more easily without wasting words.
“This location isn’t bad, easy to defend but hard to attack.”
Tao Yu saw the location of the Village Hidden by Clouds, situated atop a rocky mountain with very few paths leading down.
Rather than the Village Hidden by Clouds, Tao Yu felt it was more like the Village Hidden by Stones.
The buildings in the village were built along the mountain, giving it the feeling of a mountain fortress.
“But it’s also easy to be blockaded from below and have your supplies cut off, as there isn’t much food production nearby.”
Ai also directly shared their greatest concern.
...
That was also why they had chosen to ally with Gondor from the beginning.
Actually, the situation was similar to that of the Village Hidden by Sand; it was all about needing living supplies!
Calculating the current scenario, among these three Shinobi Villages, only the Hidden Mist Village was better off, as the Land of Water was with them, providing its own supply foundation.
Both the Village Hidden by Sand and the Village Hidden by Clouds had desperately sought out wealthy benefactors.
But for now, it seemed that the Village Hidden by Clouds’ benefactor was better than that of the Village Hidden by Sand, although the enemies they might have to face were also more troublesomea?€|
With a Dragon’s Chant, Tao Yu descended with two others.
Even with Ai on the Flying Dragon calling out with a thunderous voice, they still attracted nearly the same reception as the Village Hidden by Sand.
Accompanied by a flash of lightning, the Third Raikage himself rushed over.
“Ah?
An unexpected pleasure.”
Tao Yu hadn’t even greeted the Third Raikage when several black shadows instantly dashed out from his own shadow, chasing after a few figures that had been following Ai and had suddenly started to flee.
“Hm?
What do you mean by this?”
The Third Raikage, clearly more burly and hot-tempered, saw the black shadows flash by and his body reacted quicker than his mouth.
While asking, his body was already coated in lightning, starting to intercept.
The Fourth Raikage hurriedly warned,
“Old man, don’t!”
But obviously, the Third Raikage, like the Fourth, was also stubborn; even after hearing the warning, he had already made his move.
He didn’t choose the scattered shadows, but instead headed straight for Tao Yu.
He moved even faster than Ai had initially!
Was this being captured alive?
How humiliating...
The Third Raikage was an old fox too, and he reacted immediately.
However, he was the type to cover the rear alone for his village and battle countless ninjas from the Village Hidden by Stonesa?€”a very tough character.
His personality was exceedingly staunch.
At this moment, he didn’t utter any words of surrender.
“Oh, just creating a few new toys,” Tao Yu said with an indifferent expression.
Right in front of them, he let the shadows devour those three and then formed three identical shadow figures.
Except for different colors, even their auras were exactly the same!
This made the Third Raikage’s eyes twitch.
Not just him.
Even Ai and Kirabi, who had dealt with Tao Yu before, now wore a grim expression.
Surely you didn’t trick us into coming here, intending to wipe out the Village Hidden by Clouds in one fell swoop?
“Why are you looking at me like that?
I’m not some devil, I wouldn’t do such a thing to allies.”
Tao Yu slowly absorbed the newly acquired minions back into his shadow, revealing a strange expression, then he smiled and fanned his hands, signaling them to relax.
This gave everyone nearby one simultaneous thought.
So, if we weren’t allies, you might very well do something like this, right?
Is this a threat?
Looking at Tao Yu’s smiling, gentle expression.
Everyone present felt a bit dazed.
It didn’t seem so on his face, but his actions were definitely a threat!
“Hehe, Ai is our future Fourth Raikage, I don’t know if you have discussed the terms of an alliance, we from the Village Hidden by Clouds are new to the Abyss, not quite familiar with these matters.”
The Third Raikage was fiery and impulsive.
But he was not foolish.
He had originally covered the rear for his village, that too was to protect the village he loved.
Now, seeing Tao Yu’s maneuver, upon hearing such words.
He naturally knew what to do now...
