A-B Brothers

"Hmph!"

"Konoha Ninja are nothing but all talk."

"Why should a village like that enjoy the richest resources in the Shinobi World?"

"One day, Kumogakure will become the strongest ninja village in the Shinobi World!"

A, his entire body wreathed in electric arcs, slammed the Root ninja's corpse heavily onto the ground.

Those damned Konoha Ninja were simply no match for him.

Yagura, who was following behind A, reminded him, "Lord A, one of them just got away. Should we pursue him?"

A said disdainfully, "Ignore him. If those Konoha bastards dare cause trouble, kill them all."

Seeing this, Yagura said nothing further.

Although there were only eight of them on this outing, aside from A and Killer B, the other six all possessed Jonin-level strength.

With a lineup like that, they truly had nothing to fear.

"By the way, the Uchiha Clan's station is not far ahead. What should we do?"

"If they are willing to hand over some children willingly, that would be ideal. If they refuse..."

A smiled. "Then we'll take them by force!"

If he had to face Konoha's powerhouses like Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Sakumo, he might have had some reservations.

But among the so-called Uchiha, aside from Uchiha Fugaku, known as the "Fierce Eye," was there even another ninja worth mentioning?

He wanted to see what the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan could do against his Lightning Release Armor.

A's group had no intention of concealing their tracks, so they were quickly discovered by the Uchiha clan members responsible for scouting.

Before they had even reached the Uchiha Clan Land, Uchiha Yuzuru had already led people to block their path.

It was his first time seeing A and Killer B in person, and he could directly sense the sheer power of their physiques.

Their knotted muscles were filled with a raw, powerful beauty.

Simply standing there without moving, they gave off an immensely oppressive presence.

"Uchiha Ninja, we are giving you a chance. Follow Lord A back to Kumogakure and live there."

Their rude attitude was exactly like that of the Sunagakure ninja from before.

Uchiha Yuzuru had expected this.

After all, not everyone had personally experienced the godlike power of the Uchiha Clan as Ōnoki had.

To earn respect, they first had to display enough strength.

Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru remain silent, Yagura said coldly, "I advise you to know what is good for you. Otherwise, we will settle this with force."

At that, Uchiha Fugaku stepped forward, his expression icy. "Then let me see whether your so-called force is nothing more than a joke."

"B, you go."

"..."

"B!"

Killer B, who had been jotting down inspiration in a notebook with a pencil before A punched him on the head, finally came back to his senses.

He nodded absentmindedly and walked out from the group with his head lowered.

The next second, he fiercely hurled the pencil in his hand.

The pencil, coated in Lightning Release Chakra, shot toward Uchiha Fugaku's heart at incredible speed.

His three-tomoe Sharingan activated instantly, and Uchiha Fugaku drew his sword and slashed.

The pencil was split in two down the middle.

Seeing this, Killer B's expression turned serious.

As expected of the Sharingan renowned throughout the Shinobi World.

At such a high speed, he could still accurately track the pencil's trajectory?

Killer B put away his notebook, drew the swords from his back, and charged straight at Uchiha Fugaku.

"Close combat?"

So they really are looking down on me.

Seeing Killer B charge at him, Uchiha Fugaku snorted and gripped his sword tightly as he rushed forward as well.

The two clashed in an instant.

"Samurai Sword Dance!"

Killer B wielded all seven swords to their fullest, combining offense and defense as he stabbed at every vital point on Uchiha Fugaku's body.

Uchiha Fugaku was startled, and his pair of three-tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly.

The clang of blades rang out continuously, while cuts appeared one after another across Uchiha Fugaku's clothes.

Uchiha Fugaku's expression was grave.

He could not understand it. During their blade exchange, he had clearly used his Sharingan to cast genjutsu. Why did the ninja before him seem completely unaffected?

After finding an opening to pull back, Uchiha Fugaku rapidly formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

As Uchiha Fugaku's voice fell, a massive fireball of scorching heat instantly blotted out everything ahead.

Immediately afterward, Uchiha Fugaku took out a sealing scroll and summoned countless Shuriken and several giant Wind Shuriken.

"Go!"

All the Shuriken shot into the flames in an instant, their sharp steel wires twisting inward from every direction toward the center of the blaze.

Seeing this, the Uchiha clan members who had come out with Uchiha Yuzuru all wore excited expressions.

They had won!

Yet A, Yagura, and the others remained unmoved, merely watching the battlefield ahead in silence.

When the flames dispersed, the anticipated sight of blood covering the ground did not appear.

A massive octopus tail had tightly wrapped around Killer B's body, shielding him and blocking all of Uchiha Fugaku's attacks.

"This is..."

"A Tailed Beast?!"

Other than Uchiha Yuzuru, every Uchiha clan member gaped in shock.

Weren't Tailed Beasts strategic resources?

How could one appear here?

And...

Why had this Kumogakure Jinchuriki not gone berserk despite using the Tailed Beast's power?

"On the battlefield, I shine with the Eight-Tails' power. I expected something like this long ago. Lord Killer B is Kumogakure's pride, and attacks like a tickle only make me laugh."

"Fool, you fool!"

Killer B danced around as he improvised his rap, occasionally even raising his middle finger at Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Fugaku's face darkened, but he did not rashly attack.

A Jinchuriki capable of freely using Tailed Beast power was not so easy to deal with...

"If this is all you can do, then obediently put an end to this farce."

A stepped forward and activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Blue electric arcs flashed continuously as his figure vanished in an instant.

Even with his three-tomoe Sharingan, Uchiha Fugaku could only barely catch sight of A's movements.

Watching that lightning-like figure charge toward him, Uchiha Fugaku swung his sword in attack.

Yet in mere moments, his sword was knocked flying.

Just as the lightning-wreathed fist was about to strike Uchiha Fugaku's head, a giant Pitch Black skeletal hand slapped A away.

Uchiha Yuzuru stood with his arms folded, a layer of Pitch Black bones now covering his body and constantly radiating an evil, ominous aura.

"Your strength has given me a little interest in taking action."

"Now, dance your hardest and entertain me."
