บท 281: Chapter 281: Kumogakure Village Surrenders! Has the Sky of the Shinobi World Changed?
"Big brother, I'm not under a Genjutsu, am I?" Killer Bee, who was tightly bound by chains, stared dumbfounded at the scene before him, seriously doubting whether he had fallen under an Uchiha's Genjutsu.
After all, having lost the Eight-Tails Gyuki, he was no longer a Jinchuriki, and it was hard for him to be immune to the Sharingan Genjutsu of the Uchiha clan.
In Killer Bee's line of sight, he saw many ninjas in the village, who without uttering a word, directly fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
"Idiot! Do we look like we're under a Genjutsu?" The expression on the face of the Fourth Raikage had already turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Just ten minutes ago, he naively thought that with the power of thousands of elite ninjas in Kumogakure Village, they might not be unable to defeat the Whitebeard Pirates, they might not be unable to defeat Whitebeard.
Because his father, the Third Raikage of Kumogakure Village, also died of exhaustion under the siege of the 10.000 ninjas.
But at this moment, he realized that he had underestimated Whitebeard too much, and he had overestimated the elite ninjas of Kumogakure Village too much.
Although the ninjas in his village were indeed elite, they couldn't withstand the power of Whitebeard, which had far surpassed them.
"This momentum is not like Ninjutsu, it's just a very pure momentum!" A took a deep breath, his tone very shocked: "Whitebeard stunned them with his momentum !"
As a Raikage, he could see at a glance that the elite villagers who fell to the ground like wheat did not die, but were in a state of fainting.
If they had died in the hands of Whitebeard, they might have been able to be called a heroic sacrifice.
But they were stunned by Whitebeard's momentum, which was too embarrassing!
But the Fourth Raikage had to admit that when he found out that the ninjas in the village were just fainting, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
After all... he is also a Raikage.
Even if his head is full of muscles, even if he is a reckless person, he doesn't want the elite ninjas in the village to be killed by Whitebeard in an instant.
Now he also knows that this war, because of the appearance of Whitebeard, has turned the original 50% win rate of Kumogakure Village into zero.
The expression on A's face was very tangled.
In the end, it was Killer Bee next to him, who suddenly said with a complicated expression: "Big brother, is it time... to end it? If it goes on like this, there won't be many people in the village who can stand up."
At this juncture, Killer Bee didn't use that strange rhyming tone, he said seriously: "The dignity and backbone of Kumogakure Village are indeed very important, but if Kumogakure Village is destroyed..."
When he said this, Killer Bee didn't continue.
Because he knew that his big brother must know what he wanted to say.
A's fist was tightly clenched, his thoughts fluctuating, and his clenched teeth showed that he was very hesitant and unwilling.
The dignified Kumogakure Village was extorted by the Whitebeard Pirates.
As a result, Kumogakure Village was not only unable to drive the pirates out, but also lost to the pirates.
The Fourth Raikage was also captured by the pirates in advance.
That is to say, Kumogakure Village lost from the beginning.
Then, Kumogakure Village kept losing until now.
From a small loss, to a big loss, until a complete loss.
Lost until there were no pants left.
A gust of wind wafted over, bringing with it a faint scent of blood. The Fourth Raikage's tiger-like eyes suddenly widened: "Everyone, stop!!!"
The roar from his mouth seemed to echo across the entire battlefield, drawing everyone's attention to him.
"Ninjas of Kumogakure Village!" A, grappling with the bitterness of defeat, shouted out loud: "This war between ninjas and pirates... there's no need to continue! You have already shed enough blood and sacrificed enough lives for the village!"
Everyone halted their actions. The ninjas of Kumogakure Village who were still conscious looked blankly at their own Raikage.
They had a guess in their hearts, but they dared not think in that direction.
The next moment, the roar from the Fourth Raikage confirmed their guess: "As the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure Village, I order all Kumogakure ninjas... to cease fighting! The war is over! Kumogakure Village... Kumogakure Village... has lost!"
These few short sentences exhausted the greatest courage of the Fourth Raikage in his lifetime, because he could not let the casualties continue.
Whitebeard's display of Conqueror's Haki proved that the Whitebeard Pirates indeed had the power to push through the entire Kumogakure Village!
Even if the Whitebeard Pirates were a bit more ruthless, they also had the power to wipe out the entire Kumogakure Village!
The tactic of human wave attacks in the ninja world has always been effective, but when applied to Whitebeard, the human wave tactic has become the biggest burden.
"Big brother..." Killer Bee, standing next to him, looked at A with some worry.
"I'm fine..." A lowered his head and shook it: "After today... I will resign from the position of the Fourth Raikage. My series of wrong judgments have made me a sinner of the village."
"Raikage-sama, please don't say that." A Kumogakure Anbu hurriedly said: "You are the man most suited to be the Raikage of Kumogakure Village. In this... in this moment of defeat, you should carry the banner of Kumogakure Village!"
Samui also spoke up: "Raikage-sama, only you can shoulder the duties of the Fourth. If you are not qualified, then everyone are not qualified."
"Big brother, there is only one Raikage in Kumogakure Village, and that Raikage is you!" Killer Bee also said.
"...You guys." A was stunned, he gave a bitter smile, at this moment even he didn't know what to say.
But he quickly reacted, shouting to Whitebeard below: "Whitebeard! We, Kumogakure Village... have already admitted defeat! Please don't harm the ninjas of our village!"
He was afraid that Whitebeard was the kind of extremely vicious and violent killer.
After all, it's not unusual for pirates to be equated with murderers.
For a man like the Fourth Raikage to say the word "please", it is enough to see that the situation on the battlefield has made him completely desperate.
A's teeth were about to be crushed, he took a deep breath, and said the words he least wanted to say to Whitebeard below: "Please don't let the war continue! Kumogakure Village... surrenders to the Whitebeard Pirates!"
As these words came out of his mouth, the Fourth Raikage, who was in his prime, seemed to age several years.
The people around the Fourth Raikage also chose to remain silent.
Because they had no other choice.
Saying the word "surrender" to the Whitebeard Pirates was the best choice.
They can't just stand by and watch the ninjas of the village die for their sake, can they?
Their conscience doesn't want to see that happen.
"Big brother, take it easy..." Killer Bee's comforting voice, in the silent atmosphere, seemed very abrupt: "At least, we're not the first."
They are indeed not the first, there is another Kirigakure Village that has fallen before them, Kirigakure Village is one of the first of the five major ninja villages to lose to the Whitebeard Pirates.
Although Konohagakure Village is not as embarrassed as Kumogakure Village and Kirigakure Village, that's because they dare not confront the Whitebeard Pirates head-on.
Actually, it's not much different.
"Idiot Bee, your words are not comforting at all!"
A laughed bitterly.
...
"Raikage-sama... Raikage-sama says, the war is over..."
A Jonin from Kumogakure Village stood still on the spot, the Ninja Sword in his hand fell to the ground, the strong shock in his heart made him lose his will to fight.
The few remaining standing ninjas of Kumogakure Village looked at each other.
They could all see the astonished look in each other's eyes, and the confusion on their faces.
But no matter what, that was an order issued by the Fourth Raikage.
Raikage-sama admitted that Kumogakure Village lost to the Whitebeard Pirates, and even surrendered to the Whitebeard Pirates, these ninjas could only obey Raikage-sama's orders.
And they all know that this decision is correct.
The power displayed by Whitebeard makes them fearful.
They have no confidence that they can defeat Whitebeard in front of them.
Not to mention that in the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard is not the only powerful man.
People like Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Shisui, and others are also very strong, Kumogakure Village is already in a losing situation.
Under this situation, Kumogakure Village only has two ways to go.
The first is to surrender, the second is to fight to the death. The first way they will loses face, backbone, dignity, and morale, and it's unknown how long it will take to pick these up again.
The second way... is very likely to lose the entire Kumogakure Village.
They also understand how much pressure Raikage-sama has endured to make this decision, how much humiliation he has endured.
One by one, the still conscious ninjas of Kumogakure started to throw their weapons on the ground, they chose to obey the order.
The solemn atmosphere of the entire battlefield was also cleared.
...
"Hehe... it's really scary!"
Orochimaru licked his lips, you can see his fingertips, all trembling slightly: "Just by bursting out with momentum, he can subdue a ninja village, is this Whitebeard? Is this the man who has a bounty of a 100 Million? No, it's already 1 Billion now."
"Tsunade-sama, Kumogakure Village, they surrendered!" Shizune said with a shocked expression: "Whitebeard defeated the entire Kumogakure Village!"
Tsunade rolled her eyes: "I'm neither deaf nor blind."
Then, her gaze fell on Whitebeard's back with complexity: "This man, can he be called the strongest in the ninja world?"
Iruka collapsed on the ground, his back soaked with cold sweat: "So, was Konohagakure always in dangerous situation when Whitebeard pirates in Konohagakure??"
During the time the Whitebeard Pirates were in Konohagakure Village, wasn't Konohagakure in constant danger every day?
"It seems... the Fourth Raikage made the right choice." Kakashi covered his Sharingan with his forehead protector again.
His eyes returned to their lackluster state.
He didn't really want to wipe out the entire Kumogakure Village, but if Kumogakure Village remained stubborn, then he could only continue to kill.
Now that the Raikage has announced his surrender, Kakashi also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ha, I really had a good time today." Kisame brutally pulled out the Kunai stuck in his thigh.
The pain didn't make him cry out, but instead made his smile even more ferocious.
"Naruto... does this mean that we defeated a ninja village?" Sasuke asked Naruto somewhat dazedly.
"Haha!" Naruto grinned: "Of course! There's nothing to be shocked about, the Kirigakure Village of the past was defeated by us just like this!"
"..."
...
As time passed, those Kumogakure ninjas who were stunned by Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki gradually woke up.
The first thing they did when they woke up was to quickly grab their weapons and continue to fight.
But the next second they felt something was wrong, because it was too quiet around them.
The stern shouting, as if it had been extinguished.
The awakened Cloud Shadow ninjas looked around in confusion.
"It's over." A Jonin from Kumogakure Village explained to them: "We... lost, we lost, we surrendered."
Such a heavy news, like a thunderbolt, fell into the minds of every just-awakened Kumogakure ninja.
They were stunned, and the whole person was somewhat unresponsive.
Because in their memory, they were still fighting a second ago.
The next second, the war is over?
Did Kumogakure Village surrender?
But as they kept asking for verification, they found that the village had indeed lost, and it was a complete defeat.
To put it bluntly - if it weren't for Raikage-sama surrendering in time, they might have already met in the underworld.
In this situation, what else can they do?
Do they continue to fight the Whitebeard Pirates?
Although Moby Dick is right in front of them, do they dare?
Even if they regroup and launch a new charge against the Whitebeard Pirates, can they break through?
"Clean up the battlefield..." A higher-up from Kumogakure sighed: "When it's over, it's over, don't have any stupid thoughts. The medical team should come up to treat the wounded as soon as possible, first save the seriously injured, no matter what the cost, they must be saved."
"Those who are not injured, hurry up and help bring the dead ninjas back to the village, and then count the casualties on the battlefield."
Then, he said to a few people around him: "Let's discuss how to raise the ransom to redeem Raikage-sama."
The higher-ups of Kumogakure Village also instantly lost their spirits.
They lost in less than twenty minutes from the start of the battle.
They lost so thoroughly, what spirit could they still have?
The Whitebeard Pirates and others did not disturb them, just quietly let them clean up the battlefield.
As the day gradually turned to evening, the casualty statistics of Kumogakure Village had already come out.
In just under twenty minutes, 221 ninjas from Kumogakure Village were killed in battle, 586 ninjas were seriously injured, and 1,194 ninjas were lightly injured.
Among these seriously injured ninjas, there will definitely be some who can't hold on.
The death toll will not stagnate, it will only continue to rise.
Such an exaggerated battle loss made everyone silent.
Because, anyone with eyes could know that on the side of the Whitebeard Pirates, there was not a single person who died in battle.
The Whitebeard Pirates defeated Kumogakure Village with an extremely exaggerated zero battle loss.
Has the sky of the ninja world really changed?
Are ninjas not as good as pirates?
