"Ahhh!"
Killer B unleashed Lightning Release Chakra, forcing Orochimaru back.
However, Killer B still felt a chill spreading from his neck. He struggled desperately, and his entire body quickly turned a bluish-purple.
"You... you bastard, you actually launched a sneak attack!" Killer B roared as Lightning Release Chakra surged wildly.
"It is a war, after all..."
Orochimaru's sinister voice rang out, and he then came to Namikaze Minato's side.
He directly handed over a large pile of restorative supplements.
"Jiraiya went to find Hyuga Shin. Namikaze Minato, Hyuga Shin... you have both performed excellently."
"The Root ninja already reported to Jiraiya. Jiraiya rebuked him and approved of your decision. Your decision was correct. This is the moment to strike Kumogakure hard and achieve results on the battlefield!"
Orochimaru licked his lips.
"Next, the Eight-Tails will run wild..."
"Let's go meet up with Jiraiya. Hurry and recover."
"Because afterward..."
"The three of us—Jiraiya, you, and I—may have to join forces against Raikage A!"
Namikaze Minato immediately understood Orochimaru's meaning.
He could not help feeling moved.
Teacher Jiraiya... thank you for recognizing me.
"Ahhh!"
Over there, Killer B roared, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with fury and unwillingness.
"You... you!" Killer B roared, already understanding Orochimaru's plan.
But he was powerless to stop it.
His consciousness gradually faded.
His body also began to expand as the Eight-Tails' Chakra erupted uncontrollably.
His skin was gradually covered by a layer of red tailed-beast Chakra. Eight thick tails grew from his back, and his entire body entered a partial tailed-beast transformation, moving toward complete tailed-beast transformation!
At last.
A gigantic monster appeared on the battlefield!
Boom...
A tremendous roar rang out.
At this moment, Jiraiya and the toad were searching for Hyuga Shin, but unfortunately, they had been unable to find him.
"We need to hurry... Orochimaru seems to have successfully made the Eight-Tails run wild over there." Jiraiya pondered.
He had been shocked when he previously heard Orochimaru's plan to make the Eight-Tails run wild in Kumogakure.
Wouldn't that result in the deaths and injuries of many innocent villagers?
Jiraiya always felt that such a thing was not the right path.
Just like his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo.
Their generation also had Jiraiya and Orochimaru...
Jiraiya most resembled Hiruzen Sarutobi. Not only did he likewise enjoy indulging in a little lewdness during his spare time, he was also especially devoted to peace.
Traveling throughout the Shinobi World... was all so he could find the legendary Child of the Prophecy, believing that child could bring peace to the Shinobi World...
"Ultimately, if Konoha can make the Eight-Tails run wild in Kumogakure, then one day in the future, the enemy might also make the Nine-Tails run wild in Konoha... Lowering the bottom line of war like this is ultimately not a good thing."
"Stop overthinking it... Orochimaru is over there. There's no need to worry."
Although Jiraiya disagreed with Orochimaru's actions, he trusted Orochimaru as a brother.
As long as Orochimaru reached that place, Jiraiya's disciple Namikaze Minato should be perfectly safe.
"Hyuga Shin... where are you?"
Jiraiya searched even harder.
This was a race against time.
However, right at this moment.
Jiraiya saw a figure.
It was a young woman.
The young woman activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode, greatly increasing her speed as she hurried forward.
"The Two-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure... Yugito Nii?"
Jiraiya was stunned!
He then looked in the direction Yugito Nii was heading.
What was over there?
Jiraiya hurried after her, following her secretly.
He also realized...
The Two-Tails Jinchuriki was still young.
She should not have come alone...
More likely...
It was because the Third Raikage A was faster!
That was why they had been separated!
Raikage A and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki...
Jiraiya's heart sank.
This was troublesome.
The original plan had been for him, Orochimaru, and Namikaze Minato to work together. The three of them should have been able to contend with the Third Raikage A.
Now there was an additional tailed-beast Jinchuriki...
Damn it!
Did this Raikage hate Hyuga Shin that much?
As Jiraiya hurried onward, he prepared to enter Sage Mode. At the same time, he had the toad immediately send a message to Konoha!
Some time earlier.
Su Nuo used the Byakugan to avoid Jiraiya. The soul of the Cloud Village Ninja he had killed earlier had been crushed, yielding fragments of his memories.
These memories revealed the progress of the Third Raikage A's arrival.
"Hmm... the plan has changed."
"I have a plan that suits you perfectly, Raikage!"
"Fighting strong opponents is fun... this time, I'll play around outside a little longer!"
A ferocious grin appeared on Su Nuo's face.
He then arrived at a suitable location.
He casually began forming hand seals.
Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A large number of Su Nuos immediately dashed away.
Eight Gates!
"Gate of Opening! Open!"
"Gate of Healing! Open!"
The injuries on Su Nuo's body began to change.
The restorative effects of Reverse Cursed Technique continuously repaired his body.
"Zzzzt—!"
A few minutes later.
A streak of lightning passed nearby, then seemed to stop in confusion. But when it saw the Konoha combat uniform, the Konoha forehead protector, and that distinctive Byakugan, the Third Raikage A, who had been hurrying along, could no longer look away after just one glance.
Lightning Release Chakra Mode!
Lightning Release Armor!
Liger Bomb!!
"Hyuga Shin!!"
Raikage A's eyes instantly turned bloodshot as he transformed into lightning and charged straight toward Su Nuo!
Facing the aggressively approaching Raikage A,
Su Nuo snorted coldly!
"Lightning Release Chakra Mode, activate!"
"Eight Gates, Gate of Life, open!"
Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One enormous fireball after another suddenly blasted toward Raikage A!
"With something like this, you're still far too green!" Raikage A charged over with gritted teeth, smashing apart the enormous fireballs with a single elbow before continuing toward Su Nuo without losing momentum.
In his eyes, his son had undoubtedly been exceptionally talented.
Yet he had been killed by the Konoha Chunin Hyuga Shin.
Hyuga Shin certainly had something extraordinary about him, but he absolutely could not surpass an Elite Jonin.
Although Raikage A did not know how he had escaped,
fortunately...
he had encountered him again!
"Extreme speed and strength... the strongest Raikage? Interesting!"
Su Nuo's figure flashed, and he directly dodged away.
Raikage A, however, pursued him relentlessly!
Lightning flickered around his body. His Lightning Release Chakra Mode and Lightning Release Armor made him the strongest person Su Nuo had seen so far.
They provided both offense and defense!
His speed and strength were both astonishing!
"Gate of Pain, open!"
Su Nuo's entire body immediately turned red! His physical abilities rose dramatically once again!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Su Nuo directly exchanged punches with Raikage A!
In just a few seconds, they exchanged dozens of punches! The shockwaves from their tremendous impacts flattened all the weeds around them!
