Killing! Crushing Hearts!

"Taiichi, I knew it! It had to be you!" Turning around to look at the person who had suddenly appeared, Minato finally showed a long-lost smile.

"Senior Disciple Brother Minato, of course it's me. I rushed over as soon as I heard the news. How could I be left out of something like this?" Taiichi said with a serious face. Revenge should not be delayed overnight, but that was his motto, unless he couldn't win.

Taiichi looked around and could clearly feel the dampness of the distant sea. He couldn't help but ask, "What's the situation now? What are your plans, Senior Disciple Brother Minato?"

Minato's expression also turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "This group of Cloud Ninja has 23 members left, including 10 Jonin, among whom are the new generation of the AB Duo, and the rest are all elite Chunin."

We're not far from the sea now, we must intercept them before they board the ship, otherwise the power of the Flying Thunder God will be greatly reduced once they're at sea."

"Alright, let's get started right away." Taiichi agreed to Minato's suggestion without hesitation.

The two were ninjas who had cooperated many times and were quite familiar with each other's methods. They didn't need to explain their plans in detail; they understood each other's meaning with just a glance.

Because of the need to monitor them, Minato wasn't far from the Cloud Village ninjas. With the two of them speeding up their pursuit, they caught up with the group of Cloud Ninja in less than 5 minutes.

The two exchanged a glance and tacitly separated, one on the left and one on the right, with Minato in front and Taiichi behind, hoping to catch them off guard.

Here, Minato, using the trees for cover, was finally discovered by the Cloud Ninja when he got within thirty meters.

"Watch out for sneak attacks."

Killer B's shout startled everyone, and they all looked in the direction Killer B pointing. It was a pity that their Sensor Ninja had died in the previous battle, otherwise they wouldn't have been discovered so close by the enemy.

However, this distance was already enough. Minato dashed forward in a Body Flicker, using the increased speed to throw the Flying Thunder God Kunai that he had prepared beforehand.

Three kunai in each hand, and in the blink of an eye, each hand threw twice. The twelve Kunai like flowers from a fairy maiden, heading towards the most densely packed area of Cloud Ninja team.

"It's Minato Namikaze! Scatter!"

Unfortunately, the warning came a little too late. The twelve Kunai were still flying in mid-air, and the first one had just passed the first Cloud Ninja when that golden hue began to shimmer among the crowd.

As the Kunai flew along, the Yellow Flash followed in sync. When the Kunai finally landed, all the Cloud Ninja along its flight path, except for two Jonin to stay afloat, clutched their necks and died.

In an instant, not only the Cloud Ninja, but even Taiichi, who was monitoring the scene with his Chakra Perception not far away, felt a chill run down his spine. It was truly a case of killing in the blink of an eye. The only one who could use the Flying Thunder God to this level was probably Minato.

Taiichi felt that even if he upgraded the Flying Thunder God Technique to Lv10, he might not be able to perform it like Minato.

"Damn it, Minato Namikaze, you deserve to die!"

With a roar, A's body crackled with lightning as he charged straight at Minato. Killer B also instantly Partial Tailed Beast Transformation, swinging his Chakra tail at Minato.

The other ninjas around him were not to be outdone, and they all unleashed their fastest attacks on Minato.

Just as everyone's attention was drawn away by Minato, Taiichi, who was lagging behind, knew that his chance had come. He suddenly accelerated and, at a distance of twenty meters, used the Body Flicker to throw out Flying Thunder God Kunai.

Unlike Minato, who threw twelve kunai at once, Taiichi didn't teleport so smoothly; he only symbolically threw Kunai.

He instantly appeared between the two Jonin who had escaped Minato's clutches, his Short Sword wreathed in golden flames, and unleashed a full-force circular slash, the golden Flame Blade Qi radiating outwards in a 360-degree arc.

The two injured Cloud Village Jonin the first to be hit, and before they could even complete their parrying moves, they were split in two by the sword energy. The remaining force of the sword ring did not diminish and continued to spread for ten meters before gradually dissipating.

Within a 10-meter radius, all the Cloud Ninja were just jumping around were now lying on the ground, except for a few who managed to escape.

Although Taiichi's sword strike did not cause the same massive damage as Minato's earlier attack, its effect was still considerable.

The two raids, one after the other, reduced the original 23-man Cloud Ninja force to only 6 Jonin.

"You two bastards, how dare you—how dare you—" Killer B was so angry that he stopped even his ever-present rap, pointing at Taiichi and trembling all over.

"What? You Cloud Ninja to launch sneak attacks, but we Konoha aren't allowed to retaliate? Aren't you too arrogant? Even our Konoha walls aren't as big as yours!"

Taiichi mocked mercilessly, pointing his short blade at the remaining Cloud Ninja, "A bunch of rats who only know how to ambush! I'm standing right here, come and fight me one-on-one if you dare!"

Taiichi spoke with righteous indignation, showing no remorse whatsoever for his sneak attack. He simply stood there, pointing his single sword at the group of Cloud Ninja, arrogantly provoking them.

A figure flashed by, and Minato, who had just been entangled with Ai, appeared next to Taiichi. It was 2 vs 6, with both sides facing off, but the side with fewer people had the strongest momentum.

"The Konoha Twin Terrors, Minato Namikaze, Taichi Matsushita, you will all die here today."

Ai looked around at the corpses that had fallen to the ground in just a few thousand seconds, and felt a pain as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out.

"Bi, Tailed Beast Transformation immediately and attack with all your might! Don't hold back!" A continued to Jonin without turning his head. "You provide ranged support and stay away from them."

After saying that, Ai rushed straight towards the Minato.

Behind him, Killer B let out a howl, his body rapidly growing larger, with eight octopus legs sprouting one by one from beneath him, wildly waving in mid-air.

The other four Jonin also quickly dispersed to the surroundings, leaving space for Killer B was still growing larger.

Minato immediately engaged A, and the two exchanged blows in mid-air. Both were extremely fast ninjas, Minato in their fight, those with slightly weaker skills could only hear the thud of fists and feet colliding.

The two quickly fought their way to a distant location. Whether it was Minato's intention or A's, the two moved Jonin towards the position of the two Cloud Village.

Taiichi remained standing, alone to face the ever-growing Tailed Beast.

"I wonder if grilled octopus legs taste good," Taiichi muttered. "At this close range, it would be a waste not to unleash a Fire Style."

He thought it and he did it. He crossed his arms in a special mudra and then took a deep breath.

Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.

The Bright Gold flames transformed into a fire dragon, rapidly burning towards the Eight-Tails creature that was within arm's reach.

Those who have never personally experienced the power of the Taiichi Flame cannot fully understand the intense heat contained within that Bright Gold flame.

Killer B directly manipulated an octopus tentacle to block in front of him. Even though it was just a tentacle, it was like a city wall in front of Taiichi.

But when the Bright Gold flames touched the tentacles, they immediately spread outwards along the tentacles.

A deafening scream erupted from the bull's mouth, so loud that anyone who heard it would think Taiichi had done something horrific to the Eight-Tails.

The Eight-Tails creature frantically waved its burning tentacle, trying to extinguish the flames, but unfortunately, the flames were like a leech, impossible to shake off.

In just a few breaths, Taiichi could almost smell the aroma of grilled squid tentacles.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

The Tailed Beast, driven mad by pain, leaped and bounded wildly, forcing Taiichi to constantly retreat.

"Use the ink quickly!"

"In Killer B's Sealing Space, Gyuki roared loudly at Killer B."

"Okay, okay, I know, you idiot, you jerk!"

Then, the leaping Eight-Tails octopus sprayed a mouthful of ink onto the burning octopus leg. Under the onslaught of the large amount of black ink, the Bright Gold flames reluctantly and slowly extinguished.

However, Taiichi was not about to let him get through this so easily. As soon as the flames died down, another Fire Dragon Flame Bullet was fired.

This time, Killer B learned his lesson and dared not use his tentacles to block. He waved his eight tentacles, stirring up large amounts of soil and trees, and hurled them at Taiichi in a devastating barrage.

This trick really worked; it extinguished all the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.

There's nothing we can do about it; the quantity is just too large, and it's suppressed before it even has a chance to ignite.

Seemingly finding this move particularly effective against Taiichi, Killer B Bee simply stopped using other techniques and continued bombarding Taiichi from a distance.

Tailed Beast are Tailed Beast after all; their massive size is an advantage, allowing even normal attacks to have a devastating effect.

Even Taiichi could only temporarily avoid such an unreasonable attack.

But Taiichi wasn't going to be outdone. Seeing that this big guy wouldn't give up, he immediately changed his strategy: Fire Style wouldn't work, but I still have Water Style.

He immediately began moving rapidly around the Eight-Tails, occasionally dropping one or two Flying Thunder God Kunai to set up the battlefield, while simultaneously forming hand Hand Seals with his hands.

Water Style: Water Severing Wave.

Although there is no abundant water source here, the power of this Ninjutsu is by no means weak thanks to Taiichi's large supply of Chakra.

Compared to the burning damage of Fire Style, the power of Water Severing Wave is more concentrated. Each high-pressure Water Gun pierces through the soil and trees, creating holes and cuts on the Eight-Tails.

Just as Taiichi was about to continue, a string of Lightning Ball and a gust of Wind Blade attacked Taiichi from two different directions.

Without turning his head, Taiichi changed his hand seals, and two Water Wall suddenly rose up in the direction from which the Ninjutsu was coming, easily blocking the Lightning Ball and Wind Blade.

"Kid, don't forget we're here!" one of the Cloud Village Jonin, brandishing his long sword and charging towards Taiichi.

"Haha, you should feel lucky I didn't come looking for you, but now you've recklessly rushed up here. Well then, I'll grant your wish."

0

Taiichi wasn't afraid of him at all; if he was afraid, it would only be that he would run away.

With a flick of his Short Sword, he assumed a thrusting stance and Body Flicker forward without hesitation.

When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave one will prevail.

Of course, this is under the condition that both sides are equal.

But things are different now. Taiichi and Cloud Ninja are facing off with their swords drawn, and both of them see an unwavering determination in each other's eyes.

In Cloud Village's view, he was a long sword and his opponent was Short Sword. If they clashed, he would definitely be the one to injure the opponent first, so he didn't need to dodge at all.

With this in mind, his long sword did indeed pierce Taiichi's chest first, then went straight through. But before he could rejoice, Taiichi did not retreat at all and continued to charge forward. In less than a blink of an eye, Taiichi's Short Sword also pierced the opponent's chest.

The two passed each other, and the blade sliced open half of the opponent's chest cavity.

The Cloud Village Jonin around with difficulty to see what was going on. He really couldn't understand what the other party was doing. Why would they risk mutual destruction to kill him? It didn't seem like it at all.

However, what he saw when he turned around made him cough up a mouthful of blood.

Without turning Taiichi head, Taiyi charged towards the Cloud Ninja in another direction at full speed. Bright Gold flames swirled around the pierced and cut wound on his chest, which was completely healed in a moment.

"We're doomed! Killer B, run! Lord Ai, run!"

However, the words he wanted to say remained stuck in his throat, and only the gurgling sound of blood gushing out came from his mouth.

Taiichi paid no attention to what was happening behind him. From the moment he prepared to clash, he already knew the outcome. So after the two passed each other, he rushed towards his next target without looking back, after all, the dead were not worth his time.

The flying dust and clods of dirt effectively concealed their movements, and no one knew how Taiichi quickly dealt with the Cloud Ninja.

Now, Taiichi charged straight in with Invincible With Me. Another Cloud Ninja was also in awe, so he dared not let Taiichi get close. He retreated rapidly and unleashed a series of Lightning Style at Taiichi, attempting to hinder Taiichi's actions.

Killer B, watching from afar, was also frustrated. While his Eight-Tails form was indeed powerful, it was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito when facing a single enemy—he had no way to use his strength.

In the blink of an eye, Taiichi killed another Jonin right under his nose, and the worst part was that he didn't even see how Taiichi did it.

Seeing Taiichi lunge Jonin another Jonin, Killer B panicked. His eight tentacles moved rapidly, and the enormous creature roared toward Taiichi.

"Hey kid, stop right there!"

Taiichi ignored his nonsense, and one by one, Phoenix Sage Fire formed around him, crashing into the incoming lightning. He approached the Cloud Village Jonin hesitation.

With this advance and retreat, this attack and defense, the difference in morale and mentality was immediately apparent. Originally, he was Jonin after all, and even if he couldn't win a head-on fight against Taiichi, he could at least hold out for a while. But with this wave of cowardice, his combat power clearly declined significantly.

Once Taiichi caught up, Jonin completely overwhelmed the Cloud Village in just a few moves, making him barely able to parry.

Killer B was frantic watching from behind, yelling, "Hold on, you idiot, you moron!"

He didn't forget to spray a mouthful of ink at Taiichi. The ink transformed in mid-air, forming numerous Ink Clones of Killer B that entangled Taiichi.

Taiichi scoffed, using one hand to wield his sword and suppress the Jonin in front of him. With his other hand, he Ram Seal, and with a series of bangs, three Shadow Clone appeared beside him, charging towards Killer B's black clone.

Seeing that he couldn't make it to the rescue in time, Killer B went all out and began to condense Tailed Beast Bomb.

You want to kill me? The Jonin Cloud Village is the end for you. Let's see if you dare to fight.

Taiichi see Killer B's movements clearly through his Chakra Perception.

What, you think you can compromise like this? I wonder if your Tailed Beast Bomb is faster, or my Flying Thunder God Technique. I hope you won't regret it.

With this in mind, Taiichi quickened his pace, while Killer B's Tailed Beast Bomb took shape in the distance.

Taiichi thrust his Short Sword straight into the center, using the cutting force to break through the Jonin Cloud Village's last defense. He then twisted his waist and turned, slashing at the Jonin's neck.

Killer B, however, saw that the Cloud Village Jonin had finally been wide open by Taiichi's attack, and Taiichi's next slash was already aimed at him again.

"Die!" Killer B roared, spitting out the Tailed Beast Bomb. At the same time, he saw Taiichi turn his head, give him a strange smile, and then disappear.

"No!" A louder roar rang out, but it was filled with deep sorrow.

The Cloud Ninja didn't die by Taiichi's sword; instead, he was killed by the Tailed Beast Bomb.

This is murder! It's destroying one's spirit!
