"Uh…" – Shisui was again speechless by Homusubi's words.

Konoha has every kind of talent, the Taijutsu experts, the Ninjutsu expert, the Genjutsu expert, Fuinjutsu, Juinjutsu, Bokijutsu, Shurikenjutsu, Kenjutsu, Iryo Ninjutsu experts, carcinogenic shinobi that decay the village internally, loyal shinobi who are ready to lay down their life for the village, many types of talented researchers, sensors, trackers, brainwashed shinobi, brainwashers shinobi, torture class, tortured class and many more, but the kind of talent that has always been rare in Konoha are the shinobi who have the ability to fly. ​​

And as far as Shisui can remember currently there is no shinobi in Konoha who has the ability to fly, except for Kuroto-san nor does Konoha have any extensive measures to deal with the shinobi who can fly and are masters of air-to-air combat.

And it is for this reason that even in the Canon, the Land of Sky was able to cause extensive damage to Konoha during their air raid, causing Konoha too much loss.

At that time, the Godaime Hokage, Tsunade-hime could only watch the actions of the Land of Sky from the Hokage Building with rage and anger but was actually helpless and did not have any good way to fight back.

Later, they may have dealt with the Land of Sky thanks to Konoha 11, Hatake Kakashi, Sai, and Uchiha Sasuke but that's another thing that we aren't going to delve into as that mainly involves the presence of Sai and Nara Shikamaru.

Coming back to this story, the encirclement troops deployed this time may not lack anything and the extremely strong shinobi are sent for the hunting purpose, but what they still lack is a shinobi apt with air combat, as such there is no reason to worry.

Homusubi said, "That's why I was saying, do not worry, I will be perfectly fine."

One of his purposes of bringing Fuijin here is to have a secure retreat, otherwise, Kuroto may be able to stay alive, but he will have to give up a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan which is a loss Kuroto can't afford, after all, it took a great amount of hard work to torture Uchiha Ryota and Uchiha Hideki and finally got they yield in the form of Mangekyou Sharingan and if Kuroto were to give it away so easily then wouldn't that work all be meaningless?

So, not getting sidetracked, it must be known that Sandaime Kazekage who has mastered Magnet Release can easily fly through the air and is very apt in air-to-air as well as airborne combat, and his method of flying is also very different from the low altitude flying that Kuroto used while controlling Suijin Clone body.

Being an Anbu, he is naturally aware of most of the deployment, so he is confident that he can make an easy escape with the help of Fuijin, and nobody would be able to stop him!

Shisui thought about it a little, then as if he suddenly remembered something, he stated, "Homusubi, Kumo forces are also participating in the hunting operation thin time!"

"WHAT!?" – Homusubi exclaimed in shock, and then asked, "Why am I not aware of this information?"

Shisui explained quickly, "High-level suspects that there are spies planted by Amatsukami, so only people who are aware of this intel are the people who participated in the war council, and the Root shinobi, and I am sure that none of the Anbu, including captain Kakashi and Guy-san, also don't know about this intelligence, I know because I attended the war council meeting!"

"What the… *cough*…? What hell is my Shadow Clone doing?!" – After coughing heavily because of the burden from maintaining Susanoo for so long, Homusubi controlled his rugged breathing and asked, "Kumogakure does not have anyone apt in air-to-air combat, right?"

Shisui thought for a while and said, "I am not much aware in this regard, as far as I can think, there shouldn't be anyone, but even if there is, I am not sure if they are participating in the hunting operation, the Kumogakure unit participating in this operation is only known by Hokage-sama, and Danzo-sama in the village, not even the leaders of various teams are aware of their members. But considering what Amatsukami did with Watanabe, it can be presumed that whoever the Yondaime Raikage send to avenge the death of one of their Head ninjas wouldn't be weak."

"Is it… is it possible that the Yondaime Raikage will come himself?" – Homusubi thought, in his heart, he really wants to fight with the Yondaime Raikage, the shinobi bearing the title of the fastest ninja alive.

It's just that the clone he is controlling at the moment wouldn't be able to bear the burden of competing with the Yondaime Raikage with the pressure that the Mangekyou Sharingan pair put on the clone, even if he strengthens the physique with Yaoyorozu, it still wouldn't be able to last for much time.

"Sigh, I guess I will have more opportunities to fight the Yondaime Raikage in the future, there is no need to take unnecessary risks at this time…" – shaking his head in disappointment, Homusubi said to Shisui, "Don't worry, I will be careful."

At this moment, Fuijin suddenly appeared in front of the two and spoke in a not-so-cold yet indifferent tone, "Homusubi, the reinforcements from Konoha are here."

Shisui was dumbfounded, "Homusubi… Homusubi… am I the one hearing things or did it… did it just speak!?"

Ignoring Shisui's expression full of surprise, Homusubi turned over and jumped on the top of a huge rock and looked into the distance, he was able to see that a large number of shinobi of the Konoha Military Police Force as well as members of the fifth unit were coming here under the leadership of none other than Uchiha Fugaku, the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan.

…

Uchiha Fugaku's side.

While rushing towards the eastern peak of the Tojinbo Mountain Range, Fugaku was able to notice the two giant phantom figures, one of golden-orange chakra color while the other of the green color, and as soon as he saw this, the last bit of suspicions he had regarding Shisui also disappeared instantly.

Previously he received the transmission and was still a bit doubtful as Homusubi appeared exactly where Uchiha Shisui volunteered to be, this can, of course, be a pure coincidence but in the same way, it could also be a planned out strategy to clear the way suspicions on Uchiha Shisui, because there are countless ways to disguise into someone else, through Transformation, Shadow Clone, Shadow Clone Transformation, Genjutsu, Sharingan Genjutsu Transformation, etc, but Fugaku knows that there is no one can disguise two completely different Susanoo, this is because the color of Susanoo is the representation of the color of a shinobi's chakra, and just like no two shinobi have exact same chakra signature, similarly no two Susanoo can be of the exact same color, there will be minor differences, and the color of Susanoo is not something one can ever change that's because one can never change the color of his chakra.

Therefore, disguising or faking a Susanoo is impossible.

With this confirmed, Fugaku can confirm that the Mangekyou Sharingan user posing as Homusubi of Amatsukami is not Uchiha Shisui.

While increasing his pace to hurry towards the battlefield as soon as possible, Fugaku made up his mind, 'Damn you Homusubi, no matter the price I must pay today, I will eliminate you this time.'

It did not take much longer for Uchiha Fugaku and the shinobi led by him to arrive at the battlefield and spread out everywhere surrounding Homusubi and Fuijin at the center of the battlefield.

After taking a brief look at Homusubi's golden-orange Susanoo, Fugaku shouted towards Shisui, "Shisui it's the best opportunity!"

For a single moment that Shisui turned to look towards Fugaku, Homusubi sharpened all the four chakra blades of his Susanoo with the help of Yaoyorozu and slashed them towards Shisui's Susanoo.

Shisui's Susanoo was heavily damaged by this sudden attack as many of its parts were cut open by the four chakra blades.

Fugaku's eyes narrowed at this moment, and he started running towards the battlefield, 'I guess I will have to use Susanoo to fight him, but if I do so, my Mangekyou Sharingan will no longer be a secret but I guess I do not have any other option either, everything be damned, once Homusubi is taken down and his Mangekyou Sharingan is obtained, Uchiha Clan will no longer have to bear suppression from Hokage-faction, such a small sacrifice is nothing if it's for the survival of the Clan!'

While a certain unique chakra fluctuation started to emit from Fugaku's body who was running towards Homusubi, Homusubi who damaged Uchiha Shisui Susanoo with his previous attack did not turn towards the incoming Fugaku but released his golden-orange Susanoo.

At the same time, Fujin disguised started printing hand seals and shouted,

"Iron Sand: Black iron Wings!"

Instantly, black iron sand emerged from inside of the black Fuijin cloak that the puppet Kazekage wore and the iron sand gathered at his back giving form to a pair of iron sand wings, Fuijin with the iron sand wings immediately flew in the air.

Fugaku's expression changed drastically, he was instantly surprised and came to a sudden halt, even the chakra fluctuations subsided and he muttered in disbelief, "Magnet Release!?"

Not only Fugaku but even all the members of the Konoha Military Police Force were also shocked.

No one could have expected that the other member of Amatsukami who has been watching the entire battle so indifferently could be the possessor of Magnet Release, the unique Kekkei Genkai of the Kazekage Clan!

Taking advantage of everyone's momentary shock, Homusubi leaped high into the sky and gently landed on the back of Fuijin, and without even glancing backward or any word of greeting, he flew away from the battlefield, leaving the shocked shinobi in a daze and awkwardness.

"Not only do they have Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan, Ice Release of the Yuki Clan but even the Magnet Release of Kazekage Clan....? Damn, just where in the hell are these people emerging from one-after-another!?" – seeing that Homusubi disappeared into the sky, Uchiha Fugaku who is accustomed to suppressing his emotions also showed anger and depravity.

While standing on the back of Fuijin, Homusubi looked at the ground leisurely.

From his current point of view, he was able to see countless Konoha Shinobi coming towards Tojinbo Mountain Range from all directions, he could even spot Jiraiya among them.

Of course, Jiraiya who was running towards the eastern peak of the Tojinbo Mountain Range also noticed Homusubi and the other Amatsukami member flying high in the sky. It's because the outfit they were wearing is really too conspicuous to go unnoticed.

Staring at the sky with a helpless expression Jiraiya sighed, "Now there is a shinobi in Amatsukami who is able to use Magnet Release? Is the next question I am going to be asking will be about Wood Release?" – When speaking till here Jiraiya suddenly shook his head and laughed at himself for overthinking, as that is something that's not going to happen, "There is no way a Wood Release user will suddenly appear in the Shinobi World…right?"

"..." Everyone.

"Right…?" Jiraiya asked again, only with more pressure.

By traveling at a high altitude in the sky, it did not take long for Homusubi and Fuijin to get past the encirclement deployed by Shimura Danzo.

Seeing that there was no presence of any more Konoha Shinobi left on the ground, it was at this time while Homusubi started to consider whether to land on the ground or continue traveling as they are.

Boom… whiiiistttlllleeeeee...

Suddenly a sharp sound of something cutting through the air at an extremely fast speed came from behind him.

Homusubi instantly looked backward and without delaying for even a second he used all his chakra that he could control to activate the Susanoo, the reason?

The reason is that he saw a freaking BIJUUDAMA coming towards him!!!!!!
