"From now on, we will also join the battle."
Dodai said.
"Alright, it's indeed difficult to handle this troublesome woman with just my power."
The Fourth Raikage nodded, agreeing to Dodai and the others joining the fight.
The Hidden Cloud Village ninjas who followed along are elite warriors of the village, combining their strength should be enough to capture her.
Even if capturing her alive is impossible, those Byakugan must be acquired and become the property of the Hidden Cloud.
"Outnumbering me, huh? Although I don't mind."
Facing the Hidden Cloud ninjas led by the Fourth Raikage, Ayane didn't seem panicked, instead, she was in a good mood to speak with them.
"Enough with the nonsense! I'll handle you, Toroi!"
A Hidden Cloud Village ninja stepped forward, had short purple hair, and constantly bit a half-unrolled scroll.
Behind him were several giant shurikens, which he threw towards Ayane.
"Really strange shurikens, do they have some special effect?"
Looking at the giant shurikens flying towards her, they looked more like sharp-edged squares rather than typical shurikens.
Ayane used her Byakugan to immediately see through the attack paths of those square shurikens and dodged to the side.
The square shurikens hit nothing but air, embedding themselves into the trees.
"Damn!"
Seeing Ayane evade, Toroi uttered.
"Water Style: Water Rushing Wave!"
After Toroi's failed attack, the other Hidden Cloud ninjas began to move forward to fight, using ninja techniques to attack Ayane.
Fighting against the Hyuga Clan ninjas should avoid close combat, which is a known consensus in the Ninja Realm.
Besides, she could overpower their Fourth Raikage in close combat, engaging in close combat with her would undoubtedly be the dumbest move.
The flood rushed across the land, covering a wide area, Ayane stood on the tree branches, avoiding the collision of the water flow.
Soon after, figures appeared on both sides of her, their hands were in the process of sealing to release ninja techniques.
Buzz!
A sudden brain tremor, dazed eyes, body stiff in mid-air without moving.
The veins around Ayane's Byakugan became more prominent, as if they were about to burst through the skin.
Ayane hooked out a kunai from the ninja tool bag with her fingers, gripping it tightly in her hand, then blood splattered everywhere.
The two Hidden Cloud ninjas fell from mid-air, lifeless and without a breath.
"Damn it!"
Seeing two subordinates killed, the Fourth Raikage raged again, transforming into blue lightning charging towards Ayane.
"Double Lariat!"
Leaping to the top of Ayane's head, lightning gathered on the right foot, burst with intense chakra, and he thrust his heel downward to strike Ayane's skull.
Ayane leapt backward, when the Raikage was launching this move, she had already used her Byakugan to see through the Fourth Raikage's attack pattern, prepared to retreat in advance.
Just like the move 'Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop', it's a very simple and brute Nin-Taijutsu, easy to predict.
But seeing through and dodging are two different things.
If she can't match the moving speed and neurological response of the Fourth Raikage, even seeing through it is useless.
"Such straightforward attacks, but in front of my Byakugan, the flaws are too great."
Ayane took a step back, chakra gathered in her palm, and pushed forward before the Fourth Raikage's heel could land.
"Divine Sky Strike!"
Boom!
Ayane's eyes widened, the Divine Sky Strike didn't hit the Raikage's body, but an unbelievably thick earth-yellow rubber wall.
Her hand sank into the soft rubber wall, emitting a muffled roar.
A huge opening appeared on the other side of the rubber wall, causing a violent explosion shockwave, a massive pit formed on the ground, terrifying in its extent.
"Cough cough!"
A dozen Hidden Cloud ninjas climbed out from the earth-yellow sphere, unharmed, including the Fourth Raikage himself.
Seeing the destruction Ayane caused, even the Fourth Raikage couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Dodai, truly thanks to you, if not for your Corrosion Style protection earlier, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
The Fourth Raikage spoke with lingering fear.
"Indeed, I didn't expect the opponent to unleash such a terrifying move instantly."
The Hidden Cloud Jonin Dodai released his sealing hands, heavily sighing.
Fortunately, he prepared a counter beforehand, or else they might have been wiped out here.
"Well executed, I didn't expect there to be a ninja like you among the Hidden Cloud. Hidden Cloud Jonin Dodai, I've heard your name, even more impressive than the rumors."
Ayane praised Dodai with admiration.
Not just timing, his sharp insight to assess the danger of her Divine Sky Strike was the truly impressive bit.
"Respect to you. But why does a ninja like you fight for the Hidden Rock?"
Having witnessed just a glimpse of Ayane's prowess, Dodai felt that opposing such a ninja was unwise.
To employ such a dangerous renegade as his strong ally, that Third Tsuchikage was indeed insidious and cunning.
"Business secret, no comments on that."
Ayane glanced around, noticing a large number of Hidden Cloud ninjas encircling, she spoke again: "Let's end here for today, this was just to greet all of you in the Hidden Cloud. Next time, I'll come prepared and hope you won't hold back in teaching me."
Saying so, Ayane used Instantaneous Body Jutsu, disappearing from her spot.
Dodai saw Ayane leave, feeling relieved.
Thankful she retreated, or else if the battle continued, they might suffer heavy losses, and might not even be able to capture her.
