Running

4 days later, the Hokage arrived. His arrival was quite the secret, and only a few higher ranked Shinobi were aware that he had come.

Meanwhile, Sakumo had prepared a team of 20 Jounins. It was the night time right now, and he was leading them to attack Kumo's Camp.

As Sakumo was leading the 20 or so Jounins to attack Kumo's camp, he had a rather bad feeling about this mission.

He felt that something was amiss, but he couldn't place his finger on it.

The 20 Jounins he selected were naturally quite skilled in stealth. Even as they were running, their steps made almost no sound.

As they reached the enemy camp, Sakumo noticed that they hadn't lit up a fire to make sure they can't be detected. Well, that was quite natural. But he noticed a few guards near the entrance or the walls, patrolling the area quietly.

He gave a few signals to the team of Jounins, and they all split in different directions. Waiting for some time, he signalled them.

These Jounins who had been signalled immediately pounced on their respective targets. Their targets seemed to be 12 or 13-year-old children, but at this moment, they couldn't be soft towards them. So, without thinking much of it, they stabbed the guard's throat before he could make a noise.

It was unknown whether they were affected by killing children or not since there was no trace of remorse or emotion on their face.

After having eliminated all the guards, Sakumo split his team into four parts with each team having 5 members.

Out of 4 teams, 2 teams were ordered to go and target the 11 Jounin Shinobi in the Kumo camp. Sakumo ordered one team to act as their backup in case the situation turned bad. And Sakumo's own team was going to destroy the enemy's supplies.

This was the plan…

As Sakumo's team went to destroy the supplies, they had barely reached the location when Sakumo suddenly heard a sound.

He immediately called out for his team, "Duck!��

Not at all hesitating after hearing his instruction, his team duck. They heard a faint sound of something cutting apart the wind.

As Sakumo's team had ducked, this thing was naturally targeting Sakumo.

Without even turning towards it, Sakumo raised his hand and grabbed it with his fingers. The thing that he grabbed was a Kunai. And as he grabbed it, he threw it just as quickly.

Sakumo's team heard a series of metal sounds.

The reason behind these series of sounds was that Sakumo's kunai hit a Shuriken, this Shuriken's direction was changed, and it hit a Kunai, and this Kunai hit another 2 Shurikens. Meaning, Sakumo had effortlessly redirected kunai and 3 Shirukens just by throwing once.

But even as these attacks had come from his left side, he still didn't turn his head. He continued to look straight while telling his team, "Abort the mission. You need to return quickly."

Just after he said that he threw a few smoke bombs. The four members of his team immediately started to run in the Konoha's camp's direction. Meanwhile, Sakumo was going inside Kumo's camp to save the 3 teams in there.

He had no idea that two dark-skinned youths appeared in front of the smoke cloud. One of them commented, "Tch… He slipped out of our grasps. If they were just a bit ahead, I could have charged at him and prevented them from leaving."

"I wanna fight, but they ain't ready to face my might! 'Cause I fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee! These leaf posers can't even hope to defeat the likes of me! I am Killer Bee!" Well, although Killer Bee wasn't that loud in his words, the brows of the dark-skinned guy twitched. It seemed as if he was resisting an urge to punch the heck out of Killer Bee.

There were 7 more shinobi behind the two of them. It appeared that Kumo had prepared a good trap.

Meanwhile, for Sakumo, upon arriving in the Kumo camp, he was shocked to see 3 of his teams (15 Jounins) fighting against 23 Shinobi. From their clothes and appearance, he was quite sure that these 23 Shinobi were Jounin…

4 of his comrades had even died by now…

This meant that the information they received was wrong. No… That also couldn't be. It was extracted by a member of the Yamanaka Clan… Then… This meant that even these Kumo Shinobi in the camp were unaware of the presence of these 23 Jounins. All this time, this was simply a trap!

The other genins and chunins were waking up in the Kumo camp. This was getting bad…

Sakumo knew he had to work fast, he couldn't be soft here.

The first thing he did was create 2 Shadow Clones. All three of them pulled out the Chakra Sabre and rushed towards 3 different targets.

Although the Shadow Clones didn't possess great durability, as long as the person using them was skilled enough, even shadow clones could defeat Jounins.

Just like that, he saved 3 of his comrades from the Kumo Jounins and signalled them all to run away.

Taking a deep breath, Sakumo showed a serious glint in his eyes as he continued to block the Kumo Shinobi using his own body and Shadow Clones to allow the rest of his teammates to run away.

Only when he was sure that 11 of his comrades had somehow managed to escape from this trap did he turn his head and try to run away.

Naturally, many Jounins followed after him, knowing well enough that this was none other than the infamous White Fang. If they could injure him even at the cost of their own lives, it would be well worth it.

However, Sakumo seemed to be anticipating their actions. They even used their lightning and earth Jutsus to hold him down, but Sakumo somehow dodged those Jutsus without even turning.

He would somehow know just where they were targeting him and would dodge near the last second.

And soon enough, the Kumo Shinobi stopped pursuing Sakumo.

One reason was that they were nearing Konoha's camp. And the other reason was that they saw a Blue Lightning flash past them.

They were well aware of who it was…

Their Third Raikage… it seems that he had rushed as soon as he heard the news that Hatake Sakumo had come.

The Third Raikage's speed was truly impressive. He had nearly closed the distance between himself and Sakumo.

He raised his arm and concentrated a lot of lightning chakra in his fingertips. The Four Fingers were pointed at Sakumo's body and ready to tear it apart in one go. This was the Third Raikage's Thrust of Hell Jutsu.

Perhaps it was Sakumo's sharp intuition that told him of the immense danger. He immediately turned around and raised his Chakra Sabre to block the incoming Thrust of Hell.

He knew well enough that overpowering it with a straight attack was impossible. So… Sakumo raised his Chakra Sabre and struck the four fingers of the Third Raikage which were coated in the Bluish Coloured Lightning Armour.

Sakumo used all his strength in his body and raised it by a few centimetres, thus, deflecting the attack which could have taken his life.

"It would be rude of me not to entertain the White Fang of Konoha." The Third Raikage spoke his first words.

Meanwhile, Sakumo resisted an urge to chuckle helplessly before he backed away and prepared to fight against the Third Raikage.

Next Chapter is the White Fang vs The Third Raikage. I don't know much about White Fang's power but I have tried my best to make it a good fight. It contains attacks from Naruto and some of my own attacks I thought of.
