A: I'm straight. The invincible A has fallen.

Kumogakure received the Youth-Preserving Pill very quickly.

"Bullshit! Who the hell do you think I am?! You think I'd let my subordinates test for poison for me?! You're looking down on me..."

The Fourth Raikage A ate it immediately. Before doing so, he declared, "If anything happens to me, Darui takes over as Raikage. And regardless of anything else, as long as you're alive, you're going to take down the Hyuga for me."

His style was nothing if not reckless.

Ahem, ahem~ His style was nothing if not bold.

He loved his people like his own children.

"Oh, oh, oh~ Baka yarou, konoyaro~ Big Brother is looking young again..."

Killer B stared in astonishment at the now-youthful Fourth Raikage A, unable to hold back his exclamation.

"B~ I've really become young again?!" The Fourth Raikage A found it hard to believe, yet the vitality surging through his body told him it was true; he had truly regained his youth.

"Yo, it's real..." Killer B swung the sword in his hand excitedly, his eyes gleaming with a thirst for battle. "Big Brother, it's been a long time since we sparred." He looked forward to clashing with his brother again, especially in this youthful state.

"Ahahaha... It's been so long since I felt this energetic..."

At this moment, the Fourth Raikage A felt the youthful aura surging within him. His pale yellow hair looked exceptionally vibrant, and a confident smile spread across his face. He bared his teeth in a wide grin and laughed, "Yo~ you little rascals, let me show you some real affection."

After saying this, he gave a thumbs-up, his two small mustaches twitching. The sight was comical, yet it sent a chill down everyone's spines... A sudden, ominous premonition took hold.

"Af... affection?!" Hearing this, the other men of Kumogakure turned green with fear. They knew all too well that Kumogakure had a history of "man-on-man" situations, and there were quite a few of them.

"Holy crap~ Is this... workplace sexual harassment?! Should I refuse... but... that's Lord Raikage..."

"Should I resist... try to resist... looking at Lord Raikage's physique... I probably... can't resist..."

"What do I do?! Mom... I might... lose my purity... forgive your son... but he's the Raikage..."

"It's over~ I might not be able to get out of bed tomorrow... I hope Lord Raikage will be gentle with... my little daisy..."

"Should I die rather than submit, or submit and hope to live... maybe resisting adds to the thrill... damn it... what do I do..."

"He... he's coming over..."

"..."

They didn't necessarily oppose such behavior, but when it was happening to them personally, they still couldn't accept it. At this moment, they felt an unprecedented sense of fear and pressure.

As they watched the Raikage walk toward Killer B.

They all breathed a collective sigh of relief. It's not me, thank goodness, it's not me.

Their dignity was preserved.

Lord Killer B, you'll just have to make a sacrifice.

Satisfy Lord Raikage.

"B~ you go first, hehe~" Raikage A smiled brilliantly and began to warm up. Whether it was an illusion or not, it felt like A was showing off his muscles from every possible angle.

Gulp, gulp. The men were terrified.

The women, however, were drooling. What a muscular hunk! Hiss~ Their eyes burned with desire as they scanned him up and down.

"A man, what a masculine man."

"I really want to try it out."

"Wipe your mouth, don't embarrass yourself."

"Lord Raikage, can I touch your abs?!"

"Lord Raikage, can we go moon-gazing, talk, and have a drink tonight? My bed is big and comfortable~"

"You just want to be comfortable yourself, don't you?!"

"I'm just thirsty, so what?!"

"Heehee~"

"Whew~" Some of the women even whistled. The women of Kumogakure were even more aggressive than the men; their style was to act on their impulses.

Even he couldn't handle such enthusiasm.

With his back turned to the women, the Fourth Raikage A's dark face flashed a hint of red before he looked back at Killer B.

He had made up his mind not to make a fool of himself, so he would just have to make Killer B suffer a little.

In front of women.

A man's damn competitive spirit.

Killer B saw it clearly. Big Brother just blushed and then looked at me with such a burning gaze. Could it be...

Hiss~—That was reckless.

Even the usually calm Killer B couldn't help but feel his rear tighten and his back go cold in the face of such an enthusiastic Big Brother. He realized that this training session might be more difficult and stimulating than ever before... Big Brother's "big" size...

"No way, I have to run..."

Gyuki: Pfft~ Hahaha~ B~ don't be a coward, just do it... go for it... take him on... don't be a wimp...

Killer B: ...

"I don't know~" Killer B swallowed nervously and raised his hands in surrender. "Big... Big Brother... what did I miss..."

"Come on~ you fool, you idiot..." The Fourth Raikage A already felt his big... big hands were starving and impatient. "B~ if you won't come over here, then I'm coming over to you~"

"Don't come over here, ah, ah, ah~ stop it..." He wanted to scream, but found he couldn't get the words out.

Killer B watched as his brother stepped closer, his heart filled with dread. He knew that once he was caught by his brother, a nightmare awaited him. He tried to run, but found his legs as heavy as if they were filled with lead; he had feared his brother for far too long.

Move... just move...

"Don't run!" A shouted, his voice like a thunderclap.

Killer B stopped helplessly and turned to face his brother. He took a deep breath, preparing to meet the coming challenge. However, when he saw the excited expression on A's face, his heart sank even further.

You fool of a brother, you're actually serious?!

"Come on, let's get started!" A said, extending his thick arms to grab Killer B.

"Bakayarou~ Konoyarou..."

Killer B hurriedly dodged to the side, but the speed of the Raikage's Lightning Release was too fast, and he was still grabbed by the shoulder.

"Get back here... away you go..."

A threw him down to the ground with a powerful swing. Killer B groaned in pain, struggling to climb back up.

It's over~ Big Brother really wants to beat me up.

He wants to make sure I have no strength left to resist later.

No, I can't let him succeed.

"Again! You fool, you idiot." A shouted, charging at Killer B once more.

"Bakayarou~ Konoyarou, you fool of a brother. We aren't a good match... just let me go..."

Killer B gritted his teeth, deciding not to retreat anymore. He nimbly dodged A's attack and seized the chance to counter. However, A's strength was far above his, and he was soon suppressed by A again.

"Damn it!" Killer B cursed, his heart filled with frustration. Holy crap~ how did Big Brother get so tough?

"What do you mean not a good match?! What are you talking about? Doesn't matter, you fool, you idiot...~"

Just then, A suddenly stopped and said with a smile, "Not bad, B, your speed has improved a lot. But it's not enough; you need to keep working hard."

"Warm-up is over, shall we officially begin?!"

He ripped off his top, revealing his solid muscles.

Lightning flickered.

The others looked on in sheer terror. Are we really going to play this rough? He even activated the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

"Black Lariat..."

"Black Lariat..."

The others let out a sigh of relief.

Phew~ so that's what it was... I thought...

Damn~ just this?! It's just a taijutsu spar~

My mind is in the gutter.

"Ahhh~"

Upon contact.

Killer B's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected his brother's strength to have increased so much, and not just by a little...

He couldn't block it.

Whoosh~ Killer B was sent flying instantly.

"B~ your power has gotten weaker~ you fool, you idiot~"

"Bakayarou... Hachibi..." Killer B transformed in anger, entering the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Mode~

The Fourth Raikage A said with amusement, "My fool, my idiot, come on, let Big Brother feel your passion~" He opened his arms in a welcoming gesture.

It's over, Big Brother is younger and even more of a pervert now.

Killer B was even more terrified, then his eyes lit up.

"Come on, you fool of a brother..." Killer B activated the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Mode, then shouted: "Black Lariat."

"Interesting, you fool, you idiot, you dare to go head-to-head with me? Big Brother admires you... well done." The Fourth Raikage A laughed heartily. It's been so long since I've been able to fight with everything I've got; the last time was against Minato Namikaze.

"Black Lariat."

"Boom~" The arms of both sides collided once again.

"Crack~" Killer B's sternum fractured.

"Whoosh~" Killer B spat blood and flew backward, crashing through several objects along the way before kicking up a massive cloud of dust~

"I... I didn't mean to go for the kill... How could this happen?!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, wore a look of utter bewilderment.

"Lord Killer B..." The others rushed frantically to his rescue. Holy crap—Lord Killer B just said it wasn't appropriate, and the Raikage beat him into critical condition? Was he so embarrassed by the rejection that he flew into a rage? How terrifying.

The group carried Killer B back; his chest was sunken in, his mouth was covered in blood, and he had already fallen into a coma.

"Hurry and save him! Save him!"

Watching the dying Killer B, the Fourth Raikage roared.

"Yes!"

A team hurried to rush Killer B to the hospital.

Killer B: Whew~ Hachibi, will this fool Big Brother?

Gyuki: The injuries are real, so I suppose so?! Why do you insist on making things hard for yourself?

Killer B: Although I respect Big Brother, I truly cannot become his man...

Gyuki: Perhaps he wants to become your man.

Killer B: That's even worse. I don't like men.

Gyuki: Heh heh~ What if he takes advantage of your injuries to force himself on you? You wouldn't be able to run away then, would you?!

Killer B: Damn it~ I was careless. Hachibi, help me z~

Gyuki: Fine.

A short while later.

In the hospital, the Fourth Raikage waited anxiously.

"Lord Raikage, Lord Killer B is gone," a doctor rushed over to report.

"What?!" The Raikage walked in to see that where Killer B had been lying, only an octopus tentacle remained.

"Oh, right, he also left you a letter."

"Bring it here, let me see. What is this written here? 'You bastard Big Brother, I'm leaving. Matters of the heart cannot be forced.' What is he talking about..." The Fourth Raikage was completely confused.

The doctor's expression changed drastically, and he found an excuse to retreat.

Soon, the gossip spread throughout Kumogakure: the Fourth Raikage had confessed his love to the Hachibi Jinchuriki, Killer B, and in his rage at being rejected, had beaten him, causing Killer B to leave in heartbreak.

Everyone began looking at the Raikage with strange eyes. The men looked on with terror, not wanting to be targeted themselves...

The women looked on with disgust; what a waste of those bulging muscles, only for him to be a "poop-stirrer."

"What is wrong with all of you?! Looking at me like that—is it just because I look younger? Why are you acting like this..."

The Fourth Raikage, A, was filled with gloom. After forcing the truth out of someone, he finally learned of the rumor, and his face turned as dark as the bottom of a scorched pot.

"Damn it all, this is a massive misunderstanding! I don't like men! I'm straight, straight, straight... You bastard Killer B, you piece of trash, I'm going to kill you~"

He never expected that simply wanting to stretch his body after regaining his youth would lead to such a misunderstanding.

How was he supposed to face anyone ever again?

Once a rumor spreads through a ninja village, it's as good as spreading through the entire Ninja World.

And, damn it, he couldn't even explain it clearly.

"Damn it~ My reputation is ruined."

Overcome with rage and blood rushing to his head, he fainted.

That's right.

The invincible A.

Had collapsed.

He fell bedridden, still muttering to himself.

"I am straight."

"Ahahaha~ Rumors stop with the wise, but not with the idiots."

Qingwu watched these scenes of emotional turmoil and was laughing his head off. Watching this was more entertaining than anything else...

The fun-loving mastermind behind the scenes.
