Those below didn't understand, but the Jonin did.
Because the war is over.
The Hidden Cloud Village was no longer able to fight.
This means defeat.
From the moment the news of the Fourth Raikage's death reached them, there was no need for Kumogakure to continue fighting, because there was truly no hope of winning. And now they needed to consider preserving their forces, so why would they foolishly charge forward?
Okay, so it's a freebie.
……
The frontline camp of the Hidden Cloud Village.
The figures of Shiro, Tsunade, Esdeath, and Alice Lisse slowly appeared in the sky.
Looking down at the Cloud Village camp, which was in complete chaos, Tsunade couldn't help but mutter, "It looks like they're not running away, but putting up a last-ditch resistance."
Esdeath crossed her arms and said calmly, "A normal person would run away. Who would continue fighting? Even if these people only had muscles in their brains, they wouldn't make such a brainless choice. After the leader of their village is killed, the most sensible thing to do is to run away. It's the most normal thing to do. If you can't beat them, run away. Even an idiot knows that. It's the only rule for survival!"
Tsunade:"……"
How could I not know?
You don't need to specifically remind me...
Upon hearing Esdeath's words, Tsunade had quite a few objections; she simply disliked his nagging and lecturing.
"Isn't it time to take action?"
Compared to Tsunade and Esdeath's smiles, Alice Lise was more concerned about the operation, so she turned to look at Bai Mu and asked.
Upon hearing this question, Bai Mu lowered his head slightly to look down and coldly said, "Let's take action!"
Susanoo in its complete form, manifest!
The sudden appearance of such a giant in the sky, a giant with armor and wings, undoubtedly left the Cloud Village ninjas on the ground, who had not yet evacuated, completely dumbfounded.
Most people stared blankly at the sky, gazing at the terrifying giant that resembled a god or demon, frozen in place.
Hakuba's Susanoo soared into the sky, enveloping Tsunade within it, while Esdeath and Alice Lise stood on either side.
Their target is the group of Cloud Villagers below.
Ice Imperial Arms!
Ice Celestial Spirit!
Both of them unleashed their power, manifesting ice giants that stood directly on the ground, right in front of the Cloud Village's camp.
Unlike Bai Mu's Susanoo, the two ice giants cannot fly, and their scale is completely inferior to Susanoo; they are no match for Susanoo in size.
However, their use of the Ice Giant undoubtedly cast another shadow over the Cloud Villagers in the camp.
The 2.7 version was already in despair, not knowing how to fight back. Esdeath and Alice Lise's act of forming an ice giant completely shattered the hopes of the Cloud Village ninjas who had not yet evacuated the camp.
When Bai Mu's Susanoo Perfect Form first appeared, there was despair, but some people were still willing to fight to the death for it. However, when these two ice giants appeared, there was really no will to fight.
This indicates that the powerful enemy is not just one person, but more than three, so most people choosing to give up is part of the cleanup...
Well, that makes sense.
Even though the Cloud Village is full of muscle-bound brutes and battle maniacs, it doesn't mean that everyone is willing to give up. If you can't beat them, you can't beat them; fighting to the death is pointless.
Of course, the Third Raikage's group of shadow puppet guards were willing to give their last lives for the glory of Kumogakure.
Chapter 63 One Sword Destroys the Hidden Cloud Camp
"We must go, we'll go as far as we can."
Tsuchikage stopped Killer Bee from attacking, and growled in his ear, "Are you going to your death? We can't afford to lose the Eight-Tails."
When Bai Mu appeared in his complete Susanoo form, Killer Bee couldn't resist and thought of fighting him in his complete Tailed Beast form.
But both the Eight-Tails and Tsuchikage held Killer Bee down, and Tsuchikage even told him emotionally that no matter how many people could leave now, as long as they could leave, that was fine.
And the most important one of these is you, Killer Bee!
Because you are the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki!
The Hidden Cloud Village cannot exist without tailed beasts.
“Killer Bee, you have to trust Karum and the others. They are the Third Raikage’s Shadow Guard. Their strength is beyond our imagination.”
Tsuchikki wasn't sure if he could do it, especially after the appearance of that terrifying golden-armored giant. He had no confidence at all, but he couldn't say no, so he had to continue to encourage Killer Bee.
Therefore, Tsuchikage looked at Killer Bee with a determined expression and said, "We can definitely hold off those twelve people, so you have to come with us."
If Killer Bee had stayed, he would have been doomed, so Tsuchikage couldn't have taken that risk. Although Killer Bee was furious, he ultimately held back.
Remember when the Fourth Raikage died, Killer Bee was furious, but he still withdrew in the end, didn't he?
Because his elder brother had instructed him to protect Yunyin.
More importantly, as a Jinchūriki, he cannot be harmed.
The first batch of Cloud Hidden Ones has already withdrawn.
The second batch needs to be done quickly as well.
The Cloud Village, responsible for staying behind to hold off the enemy, needs to play its part now, instead of wallowing in despair. In this situation, despair is unacceptable.
Even if you are truly desperate, at this point you have no choice but to fight.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Illusion Lightning Pillar!"
Three Cloud Village ninjas simultaneously formed hand seals and unleashed Lightning Release Genjutsu, transforming their bodies into bolts of lightning to mislead their opponents into believing it was a ninjutsu that obstructed their vision, thus making them fall victim to the attack.
The bright light serves as cover for this technique.
The power unleashed by the three Chunin was not to be underestimated; it covered at least half of the battlefield, and the dazzling light had already hindered Esdeath and Alice Lise.
However, the two of them didn't care much about the so-called bright light. Instead, they looked at Hakubaki in Susanoo and made him attack first.
"Shouldn't we give them a little something as a gift?"
Esdeath spoke very bluntly, hoping that Bai Mu would act quickly and stop showing the so-called Cloud Village members any more footage. Was she really going to let them escape?
"They can't escape. How far did the first batch go? The second batch just set off. But those high-ranking members of the Cloud Village are running very fast."
Bai Mu spoke casually, his attitude and expression showing a very easygoing demeanor, completely unconcerned about Yun Yin's escape.
As soon as he finished speaking, Susanoo, radiating golden light, slowly drew its longsword, gripping it tightly in its right hand. Energy continued to gather, and the golden energy accompanied the swing of the sword.
A sword strike, the sound of air being pierced rang out.
Bai Mu disregarded everything, standing high above the sky. With a simple swing of the golden greatsword of Susanoo, an unfathomable ravine appeared directly in the Cloud Village camp.
The earth cracked open.
A huge chasm appeared on the ground; this was the power of Susanoo's sword strike.
With this one sword strike, the mountains crumbled and the earth split open. Those Cloud Village ninjas who wanted to resist were simply delusional and were instead swallowed up alive.
Once you fall, there is no chance of survival.
There is only darkness underground. You can't see how deep it is, and there is no foothold. If you fall in, you will die.
What's more, there are countless boulders and mud falling down. You're in the air with no foothold or anything to hold onto. Once you fall in, you'll plummet at high speed.
But more likely, they would be crushed to death by the falling rocks, turning into mincemeat without even falling to the bottom.
"One sword strike, and at least half the people are dead, maybe even more." Tsunade, who was standing next to Bai Mu, silently watched the scene before her and murmured to herself.
how to say?
It's certain that more than half of the people were gone, and this was achieved with just a light swing of the sword. This can only be described as the power of Uchiha Hakubaki.
"I held back because they need to fight," Bai Mu said with a soft laugh.
how to say?
I've already tried my best to restrain myself.
This is because it's necessary to leave Esdeath and the others alive, otherwise they would have nothing, which is definitely not appropriate.
"what about me?"
Tsunade was a little eager to try, wondering if she should join the battle too? Surely Esdeath, Alice, and Lisse couldn't just keep wreaking havoc, could they?
In any case, I need to make a good impression, right?
"Just watch the show," Bai Mu said with a soft laugh.
I'm just watching the show?
No, it's very suitable?
Tsunade felt it was inappropriate.
But the problem was that she didn't get a chance to speak, because Esdeath and Alice Lise had already made their move. The ice giants beneath their feet melted instantly, turning into a cloud of icy air that rushed towards the Cloud Hidden Camp.
In the blink of an eye, the Cloud Hidden Camp and its surrounding area were covered in ice. The huge ravine was frozen solid, and the entire camp was surrounded by ice walls, which were almost a hundred meters high.
The reason for freezing the entire camp and sealing it off with ice walls was to prevent any escapees from getting away. Neither Esdeath nor Alice Lise were in the mood to pursue the enemy, so they had to act decisively.
The best approach is to completely freeze the camp and then surround it with ice walls to cut off any possibility of escape.
As the ground froze and ice walls appeared, the Cloud Village members still alive in Camp 543 began to gather one after another, and a quick count was conducted...
Three hundred and seventy-seven people.
When Karum learned the number of people, his heart sank.
The first batch of Cloud Village to evacuate consisted of only 500 people, while the second batch consisted of 700 people. However, the problem was that they couldn't leave. With a single sword strike from that monster, the second batch of Cloud Village likely lost more than half of their members.
It is estimated that less than half of them managed to escape successfully, while at least two thousand Cloud Village members remained in the camp. But how many are left now?
What does the number of over three hundred people represent?
The casualties were devastating, utterly devastating.
Karum was furious.
As a member of the Shadow Guard, a true old black-skinned man from Kumogakure, and one of the Third Raikage's confidants, Karum can no longer tolerate the enemy's swagger.
