Chapter 299: Half of the Hidden Frost Village is frozen! The Third Raikage of Heaven's Sending Technique appears!
"Am I too late?"
Amidst the urgent whooshing sound, several figures emanating powerful aura rapidly approached.
The arrivals were Lord Dodai, Burabi, and others who had followed Fujiwara Tetsuya closely.
"Lord Dodai."
Upon seeing Lord Dodai, the high-ranking officials of Frost Shadow Village brightened, quickly drawing closer. At this moment, they seemed to gain immense confidence.
"Leader Endo."
"Lord Dodai, why didn't you send someone to notify us in advance about your visit to Frost Shadow Village? That way, we could have prepared."
Endo clearly understood Lord Dodai well… Facing Lord Dodai, he didn't put on airs as a Village leader.
"Leader Endo, this time our Hidden Cloud Village has implicated you all."
"Don't worry, once we rescue Ai, I will definitely report to the Sandaime and provide Frost Shadow Village with appropriate compensation."
From Lord Dodai's words, Endo and the other high-ranking officials of Frost Shadow Village finally understood… why Frost Shadow Village had been attacked without cause.
Though resentful… facing Lord Dodai, Burabi, and the Hidden Cloud Village behind them, Endo and the others had no choice but to temporarily suppress their dissatisfaction.
"Burabi, can you attack from this distance?"
"In a Tailed Beast transformation state, at this height, it might be barely possible to try…"
"However, it's difficult to guarantee the safety of Ai and Frost Shadow Village…"
"Is that so? I understand."
"I've already sent the information back to the Village via the Summoning Technique… I believe it won't be long before the Sandaime arrives using the Heavenly Transfer Technique."
Gazing up at Fujiwara Tetsuya and Ai high in the sky, Lord Dodai's expression darkened again.
Without corresponding aerial combat capabilities, even if they pursued… they could only watch helplessly.
"Leader Endo, this brat is far more difficult to deal with than imagined. To avoid greater casualties, please evacuate the Villagers of Frost Shadow Village as quickly as possible, letting them escape as far as they can."
…"Ai, your companions are chasing again."
"It seems it's time to part ways. I hope when we meet again… you'll have become stronger."
"Otherwise… what you see might only be my back."
Feeling the remaining Chakra in his body, Fujiwara Tetsuya picked up Ai with one hand.
After a brief farewell, he directly threw Ai towards Burabi and Lord Dodai's direction.
"Damn it… that hateful brat! Burabi, catch Ai."
Watching the figure constantly enlarging in his pupils, Lord Dodai's expression immediately became tense.
At this moment, Burabi re-entered his Tailed Beast transformation state, and as he leaped high, he used Chakra-condensed tentacles to safely catch Ai.
"Remember this day! You bastards of Frost Shadow Village."
"The affairs of the Five Great Ninja Villages can only be handled by the Five Great Ninja Villages… The weak have no right to interfere."
"Ice Release: Ice Dragon Swirling Tail!"
The moment the giant ice dragon appeared, Lord Dodai, Ai, and Burabi's expressions turned ashen.
After all, the Ice Release that Fujiwara Tetsuya wielded… still cast an lingering shadow over them.
And Ai, at this moment, finally understood.
Why Fujiwara Tetsuya, upon arriving at Frost Shadow Village, immediately released two large-scale Water Release Ninjutsu without a word.
Everything was to create an opportunity to release Ice Release Ninjutsu.
"Disperse… everyone disperse."
Lord Dodai's warning came too late.
As the Tailed Beast-transformed Burabi reached out to embrace Lord Dodai and several other Cloud Ninja, quickly retreating, the gap appeared.
The giant ice dragon, emanating endless cold, had already plunged into the water.
In an instant, countless tiny cold gleams continuously spread along the direction the water flowed… engulfing all the Frost Shadow Ninja and Villagers who had not yet retreated to a safe area.
This included… all the high-ranking officials of Frost Shadow Village, except for Endo.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing one Jonin! Gained 300 points of Slaughter Value (including Ninja War bonus!)]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing one Elite Chunin! Gained 128 points of Slaughter Value (including Ninja War bonus!)]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing one civilian! Gained 12 points of Slaughter Value (including Ninja War bonus!)]
…"Ho… how is this possible?"
"Why… why did it turn out like this?"
"Why is this happening?"
As the endless ice swallowed half of Frost Shadow Village, Endo's legs gave out, and he couldn't help but kneel.
He just wanted to curry favor with Hidden Cloud Village… The weak depend on the strong, what was wrong with that?
"Ai, Burabi!"
"We absolutely cannot let this brat return to Konoha alive… Otherwise, in the future, he will definitely become a major threat to our Hidden Cloud Village's dominance in the Ninja World."
Looking at the distorted faces within the ice, an endless chill rose in Lord Dodai's heart.
Not only because Fujiwara Tetsuya possessed such terrifying strength at such a young age, but also because of Fujiwara Tetsuya's decisive and ruthless nature, devoid of any mercy.
"Can I only do this much?"
"However… this much should be enough."
"After this, those who still wish to stand against Konoha should think twice."
The depletion of Chakra also made Fujiwara Tetsuya's body gradually sway.
However, just as he was about to retreat… a dazzling light streaked down from the high sky not far away. A deafening dull sound was heard, and the ice layer, several meters deep below, shattered.
"It's the Sandaime… the Sandaime is here."
"Burabi, put us down…"
"This time, that brat is dead for sure."
The Hidden Cloud Village's secret technique, Heavenly Transfer Technique.
Over the past few decades, few have used it, and even when the Heavenly Transfer Technique was performed, it was mostly used to transport valuable items, such as artifacts for sealing Tailed Beasts, or legendary divine tools left by the Six Paths Sage.
However, all these rules were completely broken by the man who appeared before them.
He became the only miracle in Hidden Cloud Village in decades to survive after using the Heavenly Transfer Technique.
"Raikage-sama…"
"Father…"
Looking at the figure surrounded by lightning, Burabi, Lord Dodai, Ai, and others gathered around one after another. Even Endo… stood up at this moment, as if gaining immense confidence, and quickly moved to the Third Raikage's side.
"I already know what happened."
"Even if the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is rescued, it's not a big deal."
"As long as you all are safe, that's the best outcome."
"Lord Dodai, where is that brat you mentioned, the one granted the title Mei Zhi Hang by Hanzō?"
Following the direction Lord Dodai pointed, the Third Raikage's eyes slowly gazed at Fujiwara Tetsuya.
It was the moment his gaze met the Third Raikage's that Fujiwara Tetsuya's body couldn't help but tremble, feeling an icy coldness envelop his entire being.
Damn it… This is trouble!
When you hit the young, the old ones come… I didn't expect even the Third Raikage to appear.
