Kumogakure's Objective

The person who arrived was wearing a white sleeveless vest, and his head and neck were hidden in the shadows under the eaves, making it impossible to see his face.

But Sakura Haruno recognized that voice very well.

"It's you... Killer B."

Sakura Haruno's voice was indifferent and flat. She was surprised and disappointed by the Jinchūriki Sakura Haruno, yet she understood... it was only natural. Killer B was simply following orders.

She suddenly recalled the images of her first two punches against Killer B.

He subconsciously rubbed his right hand vigorously on his pajamas.

Dirty.

Killer B silent, slowly walking out of the corridor and into the courtyard.

Then he picked up the still-wriggling woman he was carrying on his shoulder and threw her at his feet.

The woman's condition was extremely horrific: her limbs had been forcibly broken and bent into grotesque shapes, then pierced by swords and strung together like a human skewer. The Kumogakure Ninja acted with great restraint; although he had severely injured the woman, he had still left her with her last breath, allowing her to endure immense pain and cling to life.

When this cruel measure was displayed before Sakura Haruno, she felt a chill run down her spine.

The woman was still conscious, but bound by the Sealing Jutsu, she could not speak and could only whimper softly.

By the moonlight, Sakura Haruno could see the figure on the ground.

Her eyes met those of the woman whose only remaining feature was her eyeballs, and the girl's tense face suddenly broke down.

"Shizune..."

Sakura Haruno's eyes widened, and her eyes instantly turned red.

The frail and pitiful person in front of her was actually her senior sister!

She clenched her teeth so tightly that they made a grinding sound, but glistening tears still streamed uncontrollably from her eyes.

However, this is not the end.

The remaining Kumogakure Ninja, following behind Killer B, brought the remaining Konoha envoys with them.

Including Shizune, there were a total of fourteen people, all of whom had their hands and feet broken, strung together with long knives, and lay on the ground barely alive.

The remaining Jonin in the combat team also perished; his heart was pierced, and his lifeless body was carelessly tossed aside.

Apart from Sakura Haruno, of the remaining fifteen members of the delegation, Sai and the Jonin from the combat team were killed, and the rest were all seriously injured and captured.

They were thrown into the courtyard and lined up in front of the girl.

Sakura Haruno felt cold all over and trembled slightly.

"Kumogakure Ninja... you have angered me."

The girl enunciated each word carefully, then forced them out.

"Tonight, it's either me or you!"

Intense anger seeped into Sakura Haruno's spirit, making the Chakra emanating from her body cold and dangerous.

A murderous aura surged forth with her words, permeating the air and thickening as if it had condensed into frost and snow in mid-air.

"Hahaha--!"

The Raikage ignored her killing intent and laughed wildly, "Don't be so hasty... I have no intention of killing you here!"

Sakura Haruno's expression remained unchanged as she turned her head with a cold gaze and glanced at the Raikage.

"What do you mean?" The girl's aura was restrained yet imposing, like a volcano waiting to erupt, but her tone was extremely cold as she asked indifferently.

You wouldn't...

"You guys are the ones who can capture my childish fantasies!"

Sakura Haruno gave a disdainful sneer.

"No."

Ai answered crisply and decisively, his expression not as rough and rugged as Sakura Haruno remembered, but rather cunning.

"I simply wanted to invite you to join the Kumogakure!"

"It's simple. As long as you choose to join our Kumogakure... I'll let you leave safely."

Sakura Haruno narrowed her eyes slightly.

What kind of conspiracy is this? A ninja village isn't something you can just join so easily. Loyalty isn't the issue; Sakura Haruno joining the Kumogakure Ninja will surely spark some kind of inter-village conflict. Anyway, she can't understand the Kumogakure Ninja's plans.

But that didn't stop Sakura Haruno from suddenly having an idea. "Want me to join? Sure!"

She interrupted the Raikage, saying, "Let them leave first. Once I confirm they've crossed the Land of Fire's border, I'll agree to join your village!"

"Heh heh!" Ai sneered twice. "Sakura Haruno, don't think we're fools! Just listen to what I have to say!"

He then gave Killer B a wink.

The Jinchūriki nodded in understanding.

He grabbed Shizune, whose limbs were broken and whose body was mangled, and a disgusting, lewd smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Sakura Haruno could never imagine a lewd smile appearing on the face of someone as aloof as Killer B.

He placed his large, rough hands on the woman's crotch, his hot breath pressing against the girl's most delicate and sensitive spot.

Then--

Lightning flashed!

Shizune, who was already too weak to even groan, suddenly shuddered violently and let out a piercing scream!

A dazzling blue light pierced through the Shizune's lower body.

Blood, tears, and saliva mingled together and streamed down the woman's face.

"Stop!"

Sakura Haruno's eyes widened in fury, and she roared!

The girl instinctively wanted to rush over, but reason held her firmly in place, telling her she had to remain calm and not be provoked.

Her powerful willpower suppressed her overwhelming anger.

Her feet seemed rooted to the spot, remaining completely still.

Killer B... in her mind, he was a completely clueless, straight man who never slept with women... why?

"Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them... Why did you do this, you bastard!" she gritted her teeth and asked in a deep voice.

Sakura Haruno never imagined that the horrific experiences of the female ninjas she had read about in the data after being captured by the enemy would actually happen to her!

"Hehe." Killer B revealed a satisfied and comfortable smile, reluctantly removing his hand from the woman's charred genitals.

He didn't answer Sakura's question, but that twisted smile had already given her the answer.

He just likes to do it this way.

"This woman is completely ruined."

Killer B glanced at Shizune's constantly rolling Byakugan, stuck his thick fingers into her mouth, flicked her limp tongue, and then wiped the saliva between his fingers on her soft breasts, saying listlessly.

With that, he casually released the Shizune seal, and the woman's moans were no longer indistinct low whimpers, but clear, meaningless low screams.

"Listen to that, what a beautiful sound!"

The Jinchūriki casually tossed the woman aside, stomped on the charred parts of her body, and grinned as he listened to Shizune's weak cries of pain grow louder.

"It's a pity it doesn't last long," the man said regretfully.

As he spoke, he glanced with particular satisfaction at the two female prisoners beside him.

"See that, Sakura Haruno?" The Raikage glanced at Sakura Haruno, his expression growing increasingly sinister and cunning. "Stop trying to be clever. Otherwise, next time it won't just be Shizune suffering the same fate!"

"You don't have much time to think!" he sneered. "These people's injuries won't last much longer! Especially Shizune, if she doesn't receive treatment soon, she'll die..."

"To be honest, even if she received treatment now, this woman might never be able to be a ninja again."

Ai glanced at the woman who was rolling her eyes and said disdainfully.

Sakura Haruno's face was gloomy, and she remained silent.

A strong will forcefully suppressed the surging emotions, and the mind raced, trying to figure out the truth of what had happened that night.

Raikage A and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B drastic personality changes. One suddenly went from being rough and straightforward to cunning and treacherous, and the other went from being indifferent to women to becoming a ruthless demon. This could be explained by the fact that they had only known each other for a short time and could not know each other's true feelings.

But what's the point of making such an absurd request?

"What exactly do you want! You know perfectly well that I can't just join the Kumogakure like this," Sakura Haruno said coldly.

"Even if I were to join your village, your actions in disrupting the alliance and causing the Five-Village Alliance to collapse, leading to the downfall of the entire Shinobi World by Akatsuki, how long could you possibly survive?"

"Unless... you've allied with Akatsuki?"

"Very good!" Raikage laughed, "You've finally asked a question you're willing to answer!"

"Don't worry. Joining forces with Akatsuki is like asking a tiger for its skin. Even if we gain something temporarily, once Akatsuki's grand plan is complete, the Kumogakure Ninja will be discarded like a spent weapon... We're not that foolish!"

"We will not disrupt the Five-Village Alliance, but you will still join the Kumogakure!"

Sakura Haruno was even more confused.

"On what grounds?"

She asked in a cold voice.

The Raikage stood proudly, laughing heartily, "Just with our Kumogakure's unique Secret Technique— "

"False Waterfall!"
