My Sign-in System in Naruto

Seeing the Fourth Raikage, A, take the initiative, Shi and the others immediately sprang into action.

This was no longer a situation that could be resolved with a few words.

Fu had clearly attempted to assassinate the Fourth Raikage.

"This isn't what you think," Hiruzen said, frowning. Although he had already guessed the truth, Fu was still a shinobi of Konoha.

He couldn't just stand by and watch Fu die at the hands of the Raikage.

"Shi!"

A completely ignored Hiruzen's explanation. In his eyes, controlling Darui was far worse than a direct assassination attempt.

If he could let something like this slide, then he would be a completely incompetent Raikage.

"Yes!"

Shi immediately understood A's command. "Lightning Release: Lightning Illusion Flash of Lightning Pillar!"

Shi wasn't just a sensory-type shinobi; he was also skilled in genjutsu and medical ninjutsu.

This was why A referred to him as his "left hand."

In particular, the Lightning Illusion Flash of Lightning Pillar transformed Shi's entire body into a flash of lightning, filling the room with blinding light.

This technique was designed to make opponents believe it was merely an obstruction to their vision, while secretly casting a genjutsu.

Moreover, the range of this technique was vast. Anywhere the light reached, the genjutsu could take effect.

"Yugito, Darui!"

Shi's voice was low, instructing his comrades to support the Raikage and block Hiruzen.

As for Haru, while his attitude was indeed arrogant and he possessed an unbelievable amount of chakra and a powerful katana, in shinobi battles, information was often more critical than strength.

No matter how powerful a shinobi was, if they fell under a genjutsu, they would lose their combat ability in an instant.

And Shi had absolute confidence in his genjutsu.

In other words, as long as Yugito and Darui could block Hiruzen, Fu's fate would be sealed.

At the same time, as A's trusted right-hand men, A had complete faith in Shi and Darui's coordination. He confidently left Hiruzen to them and once again used his high-speed movement technique to catch up to Fu.

Hiruzen inwardly cursed.

Within the confines of this small room, the chakra of a tailed beast erupted.

He had never imagined that A would bring a Jinchūriki with him.

And this Jinchūriki could freely use the tailed beast's chakra.

In an instant, a deep red chakra cloak enveloped Yugito, and her sharp claws shot straight for Hiruzen's throat.

At the same time, Darui used Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet, attempting to suppress Hiruzen and create a diversion for Yugito.

Meanwhile, Shi cast his genjutsu within the blinding light.

It had to be said, this combination attack was truly impressive.

If it had been anyone else, they might have been killed instantly.

"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"

Hiruzen closed his eyes to avoid the genjutsu's effects while quickly forming hand seals to activate a defensive technique.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, a visible earthen wall rose from the ground around Hiruzen, forming a circular barrier to protect him.

Darui's Water Dragon Bullet was immediately dispersed by this technique.

Yugito's attack only managed to create a hole in the wall, failing to harm the Hokage inside.

However, they hadn't expected this chain of attacks to defeat the Third Hokage.

After all, he was the "Shinobi God" of the shinobi world.

His combat experience and analytical mind far surpassed that of an elite Jonin.

He was Konoha's strongest shinobi!

But…

Their continuous attacks had forced Hiruzen to stay in one place.

To put it bluntly, they had created enough time for the Fourth Raikage.

However, in the next moment, Shi's Lightning Release genjutsu weakened, and the blinding light filling the room rapidly shrank before disappearing entirely.

Yet A's hand blade failed to pierce Fu's throat. Instead, his arm was entangled by a strange tree.

"Wood Release…"

Fu's eyes widened in disbelief.

As a member of the Root organization, he had access to far more information than the average shinobi.

He was well aware that A was a legendary figure.

During the Third Great Ninja War, he had clashed with Minato Namikaze, and his speed was comparable to Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique.

In fact, describing him as a "blue flash" wouldn't be an exaggeration.

And his destructive power was equally terrifying.

Fu had been certain that even if he didn't die from this attack, he would be left severely injured, on the brink of death.

But he had never imagined that the Fourth Raikage's unstoppable attack would be blocked.

"Lord Raikage…"

Shi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Not only him, but Darui, Yugito, Mifune, and even A himself were stunned by what they saw.

"My attack…"

A sucked in a sharp breath. When he had launched his full-force attack, Shi and Darui had blocked Hiruzen.

It couldn't have been Hiruzen who stopped his attack.

Haru?!

A suddenly turned his head, looking at Haru in disbelief.

Shi, Darui, Yugito, and Mifune also seemed to realize something, all turning their gazes to Hiruzen's right side.

The Earth-Style Wall crumbled at that moment, allowing Hiruzen to see the truth.

"He even blocked A's attack?"

Hiruzen's expression was filled with astonishment. Although he had known that Haru could use Wood Release, Wood Release wasn't omnipotent.

Given A's speed and destructive power, even Haru shouldn't have been able to block it.

This would have required faster hand seals to achieve.

"Wood Release…"

A murmured, his gaze fixed on Haru as he forcefully pulled his arm free from the wooden bindings.

"A member of the Senju clan?"

"Let's end this farce," Haru said, looking at the stunned faces around him.

"You call this… a farce?"

A let out a cold laugh. Although he now understood why Haru had been so bold and arrogant in front of him, merely inheriting Wood Release didn't make him Hashirama Senju.

The God of Shinobi who had once shaken the entire shinobi world.

In A's eyes, if Haru were allowed to grow, he would threaten Kumogakure's position in the shinobi world.

Most importantly, Fu's assassination attempt had given A a legitimate reason to act.

Even Mifune couldn't stop him now.

No…

Not only would he crush Haru in his infancy, but he would also take him back to Kumogakure, where their researchers could study his kekkei genkai.

Yes…

Although they hadn't obtained the Hyūga clan's Byakugan, this time, they could get something even better.

"Lightning Release: Lariat!"

With a low roar, Lightning Release chakra surged through A's entire body. The floor beneath him shattered into pieces as he charged forward like a blue flash of lightning.
