Killer B, Yugito Nii, and the Tailed Beasts All Make Their Appearance

"The Uchiha Clan? What are Konohagakure ninjas doing in our Kumogakure?" Darui asked, his muscles tense.

At this moment, Naruto, now resembling Sasuke, wore a shirt with his chest open and a disdainful, enigmatic smile on his lips, perfectly portraying the pride of the Uchiha.

What a hero of the Uchiha! At this moment, he cherished the glory of the Uchiha Clan even more than Sasuke.

"I already said I was just passing by, can't you just pretend you didn't see me?" Naruto said. "Besides, there's no place in the Shinobi World that I, Sasuke Uchiha, can't go."

He dared to take the blame for Sasuke.

As the saying goes, "When you're in the world of martial arts, you're bound to get hurt." Sasuke has already defected from Konohagakure, so a few more grievances shouldn't bother him much.

But to Naruto Uzumaki in Konohagakure, that was a smear campaign.

He had left in a hurry and wasn't sure if Kumogakure was using the disappearance of the Nine-Tails to pressure Konohagakure. It would be embarrassing if they attacked the wrong person; it was better to use Sasuke as a scapegoat for now.

"Sasuke Uchiha?" Darui's Chakra surged, and thick black lightning coiled around his body like a black panther, creating a terrifying aura.

This is Lightning Release Ninjutsu developed by the Third Raikage, which releases lightning like a black panther from his body.

If it hits an enemy, it will render the enemy instantly immobile and cause their muscles to atrophy rapidly, creating unbearable and immense pain.

Naruto's gaze shifted to Samui's team behind Darui. He glanced at Samui, who was dressed entirely in white, and then at the two Chunin beside her.

"I think it would be better if you all came together."

Darui remained unmoved, his eyelids drooping as he said, "Samui, I'll drag him out. You search the surrounding area; he should have accomplices nearby."

"Okay," Samui replied casually.

But then, with a whoosh, a kunai with Explosive Tag attached shot over at lightning speed. With a boom, it forced Samui back, using the black smoke as cover.

Naruto Flying Thunder God Technique to switch positions, and a Lightning Strike knocked back the pessimistic Chunin Omoi, who was holding him back. He then flipped over, drew his sword, and slashed directly at another Chunin, the red-haired girl Karui.

The same tactics are used: swift and decisive action to eliminate the weak first.

The battlefield is ever-changing, and the fight relies on sheer courage and determination. The Kumogakure is also a ninja village that prioritizes its comrades, attacking the weaker members of the enemy while restraining the stronger ones.

If they succeed in one fell swoop, they will use the enemy's blood to sacrifice to the flag, thus boosting morale in one fell swoop. In plain terms, they will use the enemy's blood to stimulate the brain and forcibly trigger a second wave of berserk behavior.

Naruto used this trick to eat all kinds of delicacies; although it was old, it never failed.

Bite!

The prediction went awry; Naruto's sword nearly killed the red-haired girl, Karui. At the last second, Darui, the Cloud Village's Kakashi, managed to escape and return.

Using his sixth sense in battle, he guessed Naruto's purpose and saved the red-haired girl in time.

With a clang, the blades clashed, exploding into a shower of sparks. Instantly, Karui was thrown back by the force of the blade's impact, landing hard on his backside.

The overwhelming murderous aura almost stunned her for a moment; even after surviving the ordeal, a chill ran down her spine. A faint line of blood was etched around her neck; she had narrowly escaped death.

Bang!

Naruto decisively threw away his sword, his entire body erupting with crimson Chakra. He flipped over and delivered a punch that slammed directly into Darui's face. The speed was so fast that Darui even paused for a moment.

With a loud bang, Darui was sent flying backward, exploding into a cloud of white smoke.

"Lightning Clone?" Naruto frowned, thinking to himself, "He must have been preparing for Lightning Clone from the moment he was enveloped in Black Lightning."

As expected, he's someone who can rival Kakashi in Kumogakure —the old fox king.

The moment the Lightning Clone was shattered by Naruto's punch, Samui, wielding a short sword, thrust in from below with an expressionless face. Darui released his Lightning Release, shaped like a black panther, surged forth.

Naruto did not dodge; he had to seriously injure someone, otherwise Kazahana Koyuki's position would be unsafe.

He focused, and the red Tailed Beast Chakra erupted once more. He raised his hand and instantly pulled out the Kusanagi Sword from the Sealing Space, melting it into a shard and draping it over the Lightning Release Black Panther.

With a whoosh, Naruto was instantly paralyzed by the Lightning Release Ninjutsu.

Seeing his chance, Samui switched from holding the knife with one hand to two, executed a fluid somersault, and stabbed Naruto heavily from behind.

Darui frowned immediately, instantly realizing something was wrong. This person was quite strong, so why did he run into Lightning Release without even dodging?

"Samui!" He rushed out immediately, but it was too late.

Despite being completely stunned, Naruto acted as if nothing had happened, flipping over and throwing a punch, his crimson Chakra unleashing a surging gust of wind. Samui even heard the roar of a wild beast charging straight towards her face.

Fortunately, with Darui's reminder, Samui managed to stop his movements and raised his knife to defend himself.

With a loud bang, her short sword shattered into pieces, causing her to gasp for breath. It was Chakra Short Sword, crafted at great expense, capable of cutting through iron like mud, but now...

With a loud thud, Samui was sent flying, his shoulder blade twisted in pain. He crashed heavily to the ground, creating a crack and a crater.

"Samui- senpai!" Red-haired Karui rushed over, while another Chunin, Omoi, drew his sword and cautiously blocked Naruto's path, preventing him from getting any closer to the unconscious Samui.

Seeing Samui fall unconscious, Naruto's brow relaxed slightly; he had finally taken care of one. The other two Chunin would likely be tied down and unable to cause him trouble for the time being.

Judging from Samui -Jonin strength, the only remaining troublesome opponent is Darui.

"Storm Release!"

Multiple blue laser beams, a mixture of Water Release and Lightning Release, grazed past his ears, shattering several strands of blood-red Chakra that instantly reformed.

"It really is Chakra Armor!" Darui landed in front of Naruto and said in a deep voice, "No wonder it can resist Lightning Release Ninjutsu and pretend to be hit to deceive the opponent."

"You're very cunning," he said.

"Hey tui." Naruto didn't say anything, but spat on the ground next to him, showing his disdain for the Uchiha.

However, Darui wasn't entirely right; it was indeed armor made of Chakra. But Naruto's armor was clearly of a higher grade—it was the genuine Nine-Tails Cloak.

It was precisely because of this confidence that he dared to take Darui's Lightning Release Ninjutsu head-on.

The fake Uchiha: Fire Release plus Sharingan.

The real Uchiha: Unveiling the Tailed Beast Cloak.

But after speaking, Darui still felt something was off. Looking at Chakra Sasuke Uchiha was crimson, Darui frowned even more deeply.

Uchiha. Is that so?

It's all because the Konohagakure Blade was too fast. He was still just getting acquainted with the Uchiha's reputation when he was shocked to discover that they had already been wiped out by their own people. Even if there was something fishy going on, only the erudite Samui knew.

Unfortunately Samui fainted and won't wake up anytime soon.

The situation suddenly became tense. Darui drew the knife from his back, and the forest fell silent. The Nikko slanted downwards, and the two of them moved in the next moment.

From afar, Kazahana Koyuki watched Naruto's perilous battle with the Kumogakure ninja, her heart pounding with anxiety for Naruto. She wanted to close her eyes, but worried that Naruto might be ambushed.

Multiple against one, how shameless!

She clenched her fists, muttering angrily to herself, completely forgetting that the two of them were the intruders.

In the midst of the attack, Naruto swiftly leaped away, dodging Darui's ferocious Storm Release attack. Behind him, seven or eight giant trees were riddled with countless tiny holes by the blast, and with a scream, they collapsed with a deafening crash.

The ground shook, and billowing dust filled the air.

The next moment, Darui flashed to Naruto's side, sword in hand, and slashed down. His other hand unleashed a burst of Lightning Release, the attack swift and fierce. As expected of the quasi -Fifth Raikage, his strength was indeed formidable.

Naruto reacted quickly, his speed reaching its maximum with the help of the Nine-Tails' chakra, and dodged the attack by sidestepping. He then delivered a powerful punch using Lava Release, which coated the surface with a layer of Blood-red Tailed Beast Cloak.

In an instant, Naruto's Lava Release punch slammed into the black Lightning Release.

Darui's Lightning Release, inherited from the Third Raikage, was incredibly powerful, but it lacked staying power against the Tailed Beast Cloak. He was stuck after only breaking through one layer of the Tailed Beast Cloak, and with a muffled thud, Darui was instantly blasted away by Naruto's punch.

The Lightning Release went astray, crashing into the ground with a deafening roar and creating a huge crater. The Lava Release also veered off course, instantly dissolving the branches of dozens of giant trees.

The terrifying force and sound generated by the collision almost shook half of the Kumogakure.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Naruto emerged from the ruins, spitting out a mouthful of saliva, completely unharmed. Darui, on the other hand, looked rather disheveled, his arm bent and badly injured.

"What is your real purpose Sasuke Uchiha?" Darui struggled to his feet.

"I already said, I was just passing by," Naruto said, mimicking Sasuke. "It's you who insisted on pursuing me. Wouldn't it have been better if we had just stayed put?"

Naruto knew very well that if he ran away now, probably no one could stop him. But if he took Kazahana Koyuki with him, he might not be able to get very far.

The Kumogakure and the Konohagakure Village have always been at odds, so there's no need for a reason for them to fight. He had already mentally prepared himself before making the Space-Time Ninjutsu; at worst, he'd just have to fight.

This will be a good opportunity to temper the fierceness of Kumogakure and prevent another trip in case of future conflicts.

The Kumogakure thought the same thing. The moment they learned that the Nine-Tails had disappeared from Konohagakure, the Fourth Raikage A, immediately sent people to Konohagakure to investigate.

With Konohagakure's power waning, conflict was inevitable.

"Just passing by?" Darui frowned, clearly not believing Naruto's words.

But his arm was already injured, and continuing the fight would bring him no advantage. Darui could clearly sense that his opponent seemed to be able to predict his moves, and his heart tightened immediately.

Is it really the Sharingan ability of the Uchiha? Predictive perception and foresight.

Suddenly, a thunderclap came from the direction of Valley of Clouds and Lightning.

Two figures descended onto the battlefield simultaneously. With a loud bang, Killer B, wearing sunglasses, and Yugito Nii, Yugito Nii Two-Tails Jinchuriki who had survived thanks to the premature deaths of Kakuzu Hidan, emerged from the dust.

The two Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts from Kumogakure have gathered together.
