Just as the sealing talisman was about to fall around the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito, eight golden chains of Adamantine Sealing Chains burst forth from Yugito's body.
A golden figure emerged from Yugito's body. Yugito looked at the figure and his heart trembled. It was Uzumaki Mito!
Uzumaki Mito smiled slightly at Yugito, "This energy was left inside you back then. I was afraid that one day you would be at a loss when facing Sealing Jutsu, so I used it to protect you."
At this moment, inside Konoha
Uzumaki Mito opened her eyes, a smile on her face. "It seems the little bit of energy I left behind has been drawn out." This step was just something she did casually, but she didn't expect it to come in handy today.
Uzumaki Mito then closed her eyes and began remotely manipulating energy.
When Mito looked up at the Sealing Jutsu in the sky, her lips twitched. "This Sealing Jutsu from back then! I thought it would be something more complicated!"
With a gentle wave of her hand, the Adamantine Sealing Chains pierced through the talisman paper, instantly rendering it ineffective and turning it into dust.
Upon seeing the Adamantine Sealing Chains, the Sealing Squad from Kumogakure immediately exclaimed, "I've seen the Adamantine Sealing Chains Sealing Jutsu!"
"That phantom figure is... it's Lady Mito Uzumaki from Konoha!"
Darui's expression changed. The Sealing Squad was useless now, damn it! What should they do? How could they capture Yugito? Meanwhile, Pakura was dominating the Fourth Raikage, A, the entire time.
"Sea Needle!" Pakura suddenly shouted. A woman's heart is like Sea Needle. Her use of this move was much stronger than that of Roshi. Her whole body turned into a lava state, and she smashed her hands toward the Fourth Raikage, A!
The Fourth Raikage A, narrowed his eyes, then jumped up, his body suspended in mid-air.
An opportunity! Pakura seized the moment and quickly Hand Seals, unleashing "Lava Release: Scorching River Rock Technique!" He then spat out five or six lava balls. At this moment, the Fourth Raikage A, had no foothold. Gritting his teeth, he Substitution Technique!
Boom boom boom boom! The Scorching River Rock Technique hit the Substitution Technique in mid-air, burning the Substitute Stakes to ashes.
Pakura roared, "Son Gokū, find out where he is!"
"Understood!" Son Gokū began to sense the Fourth Raikage's Chakra, then roared, "Behind me!"
Pakura performed a backflip, waving her right hand with "Scorch Release: Extremely Steaming Murder!" Several gray-red fireballs shot backward, causing the Fourth Raikage, who was charging forward, to turn pale. "Damn it, is this Four-Tails Jinchūriki's combat awareness this strong?"
"Lightning Release Chakra Mode! Lightning Release Armor! Activate!" With a hiss, the Lightning Release Chakra surged, transforming into armor that protected the Fourth Raikage's entire body. Although the attacks from the Extremely Steaming Murder Chakra Mode didn't directly cause damage to the Raikage, the energy chakra still managed to strike him.
However, the excessive heat still burned the Raikage's chest.
The Fourth Raikage coughed up blood, his body uncontrollably retreating backward. At that moment, Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, saw an opportunity and thought, "Matatabi!"
"Understood!" At this Matatabi and Yugito were in perfect harmony. Chakra to Yugito's Tailed Beast Cloak appeared. Two tails grew out instantly, and she ran quickly with all four limbs on the ground.
Seizing the opportunity, she thrust her claws toward the heart of the Fourth Raikage!
Upon seeing this, Darui's pupils widened, and he Hand Seals "Storm Release: Light Fang!" The Storm Release Chakra transformed into a translucent blue beam of light, striking Yugito. Seeing her enemy right in front of Yugito, Yugito made no attempt to dodge, preparing to take the Storm Release head-on.
Just then
"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!" Nawaki leaped down from the castle wall, blocking Yugito's path. The earth trembled instantly, and a massive tree trunk rose from the ground, blocking the Storm Release: Light Fang!
"Masaka! Wood Release? Could it be Senju Hashirama?" Darui's heart sank to the bottom, but he found that it was not Senju Hashirama, but a short-haired boy who looked seven-tenths like him!
"Nawaki, thank you!" With Yugito suddenly accelerated, her claws piercing the Fourth Raikage's waist. The Fourth Raikage roared, "Hah! Get out of the way!" Lightning Release Chakra exploded again, sending the Two-Tails Jinchuriki Yugito, flying.
Yugito paid no attention. A vine appeared on the ground, grabbed her, and placed her next to Nawaki. She spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly injured, but her eyes were shining brightly at that moment.
It was worth it! With that one swipe of his claw, the Fourth Raikage A's kidneys were ruined! Even if he didn't die now, he would die sooner or later! Not to mention that he had left Two-Tails's flame inside the Fourth Raikage A 'Matatabi kidneys.
The Fourth Raikage, A, unleashed his power once more, but afterward, he knelt on the ground, feeling the extent of his injuries. He couldn't help but cough up blood, crying out, "My kidneys! My kidneys!!!"
He was panting heavily, trying to stand up, but having lost two vital organs, he was extremely weak. Darui shouted, "Lord Raikage, we're going to his aid!"
However, Nawaki clapped his hands together and shouted, "Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"
The Wood Dragon regenerated and chased after Darui. Darui's pupils contracted. These techniques were recorded in history as being the techniques of Senju Hashirama. Senju Hashirama had long hair, but this person had short hair.
In other words, he is the grandson of the First Hokage, Senju Nawaki!
Darui leaped to dodge the Wood Dragon, and as he expected, a smile crept onto his face. He was determined to capture the leader first and take down the Nawaki; he wasn't afraid that Konoha wouldn't retreat.
The next moment, the Wood Dragon twisted its body and unleashed the Dragon Head Raises Its Head technique!
By the time Darui realized what was happening, it was too late! The Wood Dragon bit his waist and roared as it charged toward the Fourth Raikage.
Seeing this, the Fourth Raikage roused his already broken body once more. Darui couldn't die; he was the future hope of their Kumogakure! So let him use his crippled body to save Darui!
He unleashed his full power once more, activating Lightning Release Chakra Mode, stimulating his cells and muscles with high-voltage electricity, and flew towards the Wood Dragon. He mounted the Wood Dragon 'Wood Dragon back and grabbed its head.
The Wood Dragon was stunned, but due to the immense strength of the Fourth Raikage, Ai, it had no choice but to let go. Seeing this, Darui used the Substitution Technique, and his body slowly landed. There was a clear dragon tooth piercing wound on his chest, but it was not serious and would recover with proper care.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, the Fourth Raikage suddenly snapped the tension in his mind. He let go of his grip, allowing his body to fall from the sky and crash to the ground with a loud thud.
He coughed up another mouthful of blood, feeling his consciousness begin to blur. In his hazy state, he seemed to see Yugito looking at him!
"Yugito, why did you betray us! My father and I have treated you well!" The Fourth Raikage looked at Yugito on his deathbed.
He couldn't understand it at all. Yugito smiled and said, "What do you think, young master? You controlled my family and then killed them, all to cultivate a Perfect Jinchuriki."
The Fourth Raikage suddenly understood. He sighed, "So you knew all along. Then my death wasn't in vain. I wanted to plead with my father to stop me from going to such extremes, but I'm sorry, I couldn't persuade him."
Yugito's eyes were now red. "Since that's the case, go down and apologize to them!" With that, Yugito raised his hand, and cat claws grew out, piercing through the Fourth Raikage's head.
The Fourth Raikage felt a sudden lightness in his body; all the burdens that had weighed on him had vanished in an instant. The revival of Kumogakure, the survival of Kumogakure —he no longer needed to worry about them. How wonderful.
Thinking this, the Fourth Raikage's pupils gradually lost their color, Yugito burst into tears. Senju Nawaki knelt down and put his arm around her shoulder, letting her rest her head on his chest.
Yugito didn't stand on ceremony and leaned directly into Nawaki's arms. At this moment, the shackles in her heart were broken, and she felt much more relaxed.
Darui wanted to return to the city to fight again, but before he knew it, the city walls were covered with Konoha ninjas, and Kumogakure ninjas were tied to their sides.
He was momentarily unsteady on his feet when Uchiha Izuna reached out and grabbed him. "Don't fall down yet, Fifth Raikage!"
Upon hearing Uchiha Izuna's words, Darui frowned. "What do you mean? Do you mean to conquer my Kumogakure, capture my Kumogakure ninjas, and then make me the Fifth Raikage?"
"Hehe, the unification of the Ninja World is inevitable. Your resistance will only increase casualties. Now that Kumogakure has fallen into the hands of Konoha, if you want to live, if you don't want all the villagers of Kumogakure to die, you'd better obey." Uchiha Izuna's eyes were filled with a warm smile.
Darui hadn't paid much attention at first, but upon hearing that they were villagers from Kumogakure, he fell silent, then knelt on the ground. "I beg the Konoha ninjas, please spare the lives of my Kumogakure villagers! They are innocent; the fault lies with me and the Fourth Raikage!"
Uchiha Izuna shook his head and sighed, helping him up. "Darui, I know you, I know your ambition, I know your abilities. The reason I spared your life is so that you can accompany us in Kumogakure Konoha."
"I can assure you that after Kumogakure is placed under Konoha's control, your official positions will remain unchanged. Except for the Raikage, who requires Konoha's assignment, you will continue with your duties as usual. However, once Konoha issues an order..."
"Please don't refuse, Kumogakure. Also, the name Kumogakure will be changed to Konoha Cloud Division." Uchiha Izuna didn't care about Darui's thoughts. He was just informing him. If you're willing to cooperate, then cooperate; if you're not, then get lost. He was only telling you this much because you're a capable person.
Darui, being no fool, naturally understood his meaning. After much deliberation, he knelt on the ground and said in a deep Darui, "Kumogakure is willing to accept all of Konoha's demands. From now on, Kumogakure will be renamed Konoha 'Kamimura Konoha Cloud Division. I will immediately announce this to the Ninja World!"
Uchiha Izuna smiled. He knew Darui was a smart man; talking to smart people was always easy! He patted Darui on the shoulder, "Work hard, the future of Kumogakure depends on you!"
After saying that Uchiha Izuna waved his hand, and the logistics staff carried the prepared barbecue and other delicacies from outside into Kumogakure. Izuna pulled Pakura, Nawaki pulled Yugito, Uchiha Fugaku... well, let's not even mention Uchiha Fugaku.
The group headed towards the Raikage's Office in Kumogakure, where the Konoha ninjas were about to hold a victory celebration!
