Throughout the entire process, both leaders spoke relatively little. The Raikage held himself in high esteem, while Orochimaru didn't take the other seriously.
The ninjas under his command naturally took the lead in the negotiations.
"Here's fifty million! I'm keeping it for you first; I hope you're alive to spend it!"
Darui arrived between the two sides carrying a large box of banknotes, while Guren also approached with Yugito.
Neither side pulled any further tricks. However, when Darui accepted the Yugito and Guren accepted the banknotes, it was as if they had made a pact, and their forces were about to clash.
"Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
Before Raikage A's suppressed roar could even finish, figures darted out from behind him with a series of "whoosh" sounds.
"Damn it, I'm going to kill them! How dare they be so arrogant!"
"Kill that green-eyed guy first, I want to chop off his hands myself!"
At the same time, Kakuzu, Kisame, Zabuza also rushed forward.
Today, the white robe is destined to be dyed red, as for the enemy's superior numbers?
Kisame and the others are all capable of Zabuza on a hundred opponents. Zabuza is a bit weak, but his Silent Killing Technique is the best way to survive.
Guren carried the large box straight back to Orochimaru's side, and three figures also "whooshed" out beside her.
Orochimaru placed his hand on the box, and the box containing fifty million yen was immediately stored in the Mask Space.
Guren obediently returned to Orochimaru's side, while Hozuki Mangetsu, who hadn't yet made an attack, was also present.
With the deal completed, the most crucial step remains: whether or not they can make a name for themselves in the Ninja World depends on the upcoming battle.
His gaze then swept past the crowd and landed on Raikage, who was filled with murderous intent.
"I've heard that all the Raikage in history have been masters of Taijutsu, and their speed is among the best in the Ninja World. I wonder if the current Raikage has the same spirit as the previous Raikage!"
Upon hearing Orochimaru's slightly sarcastic words, Killer B stepped forward before A could even speak.
"Kid, anyone in the Ninja World who dares to look down on us brothers like this, their grave is already over three meters high with grass on it!"
Killer B raised a finger and pointed it at Orochimaru, then drew two short swords from behind him, looking equally ready to unleash a massacre.
"Seven Swords Style Killer B, so many swords seem pretty intimidating!"
Hozuki Mangetsu also stepped forward, his Twin Swords: Hiramekarei separated into two, one in each hand, his gaze towards Killer B equally fervent.
Hozuki Mangetsu, a genius from Kirigakure, is skilled in using all seven Ninja Blades, demonstrating exceptional talent.
Now that we've encountered another master swordsman, we can't let this opportunity pass. Will Killer B of the Seven Swords Style prevail, or will Kirigakure, a genius of Hozuki Mangetsu who is a once-in-a-century talent, be stronger?
"Big brother, I'll go first!"
Killer B vanished from his spot in a flash, and Hozuki Mangetsu, without hesitation, bypassed the crowd and went straight to Killer B.
The two clashed quickly. Hozuki Mangetsu's Hydrification Technique was in no way intimidated by Killer B's fast sword, and his swordsmanship was no less than Killer B's.
The two men left Beidai Bridge after fighting for a while. Not only them, but as thick fog spread, the noise on the bridge also subsided.
Zabuza and Kisame simultaneously activated the Hiding in Mist Technique, making them even more adept in this environment.
Even if the Hidden Cloud Village had ninjas skilled in Wind Release, they wouldn't be able to disperse the thick fog in a short time.
In addition, Kakuzu, this masked monster, occasionally comes out to scare people. As long as his heart is strong enough, he can be said to be immortal.
The battle was fierce, and Guren gradually disappeared into the thick fog, ready to support the various battlefields at any time.
As the senior disciple, Orochimaru brought her out this time to broaden her horizons, which made Anko, who was left in the village, complain.
"How dare a tiny place like this call itself a shadow? How laughable!"
The Fourth Raikage A, tossed aside his Raikage hat and Raikage, revealing his dark, gleaming muscles.
He also wore two metal wrist guards with many small circles on them. When fighting an enemy, these small circles could extend into small cylinders to increase their lethality.
"I thought you two brothers were going to come at me together! Now I'm disappointed!"
Orochimaru remained nonchalant, and his words only made the Raikage laugh in exasperation.
"What an arrogant brat! I'll show you today that being a Kage isn't something you can just do on a whim, Kumogakure isn't a place anyone can provoke!"
As he spoke, Ai slowly walked towards Orochimaru, the heavy footsteps sounding incredibly oppressive.
Some figures in the nearby jungle couldn't help but swallow hard.
They were all sent by other ninja villages to scout the situation, and to their surprise, these people from Kumogakure dared to be so arrogant in front of them.
You have to understand that if this isn't handled properly, it could ignite a war between the two countries. If that happens Hidden Cloud Village will send troops to wipe them out, and the other ninja villages won't be able to say anything.
"They're really courting death. Don't they know when to stop?"
"Hmph... I think it's just ignorance is bliss. Even Konoha wouldn't dare to provoke Kumogakure like this!"
"Hey, look! The show's about to begin! I bet that guy who calls himself the Golden Shadow won't last three moves against the Raikage!"
"If someone dares to call themselves 'Shadow,' they must have some skill, right?"
"Tch... that's not necessarily true. The Hoshikage of Hoshigakure is trash!"
Just as the spies from various countries were discussing it heatedly, Orochimaru also made a move, slowly walking towards the Raikage!
"In the Ninja World, if I don't take action, who dares to claim invincibility, who dares to say they are undefeated!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a violent explosion rang out on the bridge.
The powerful Chakra surge dispersed the thick fog surrounding the two of them.
The moment their fists collided, cracks appeared on the bridge beneath their feet.
"Snort!"
Raikage was surprised that this person could block his fist, and his eyebrows furrowed involuntarily. He then increased the force in his hand.
With a loud "crack," a large crater appeared beneath the feet of both parties. Fortunately, the bridge was of good quality; otherwise, it would have collapsed in an instant.
"The Fourth Raikage is nothing special after all!"
Orochimaru's lips curled up slightly beneath his mask, and his other hand was not idle either, as he also threw a punch at Ai's face!
"Arrogant!"
The Raikage was quick as well, exerting his power at the same moment Orochimaru raised his hand.
The two began to fight fiercely on the bridge, their blows landing with brutal force and each move potentially fatal!
In terms of strength, the current Raikage is arguably the strongest ninja in the Ninja World.
Of course, Tsunade is an exception when it comes to the Strength of a Hundred Seal, but in terms of power alone, the Third Hokage and Fourth Raikage are among the top figures in the Ninja World.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to subdue the Eight-Tails. His reputation is well-deserved; facing the Raikage is no less than facing a Tailed Beasts!
With Minato Namikaze's death, the current Raikage has already claimed to be the fastest in the Ninja World.
Even when facing such a humanoid beast, Orochimaru handled it with ease.
He can even throw in a few trash words from time to time to provoke his opponent; the stronger the opponent, the more excited he gets!
"What? Is this all the strength you have? No wonder you haven't been able to avenge your father after so many years of his death!"
Orochimaru was known for his outrageous remarks, and sure enough, as soon as he said that, a powerful burst of Lightning Release Chakra erupted from A's body.
Suddenly, a raging dragon rose above the great river!
