I Can Pick on the Weak, Too

The Land of Hot Water is located near the border of the Land of Fire.

A major battle is taking place here at this moment.

Unlike the small-team infiltration operations that frequently occurred in the Southern Battlefield, the Cloud Village in the Northern Battlefield fully utilized its advantage: the destructive Jinchuriki.

They used Killer B as their spearhead, and their attacks often involved large-scale, coordinated group operations.

Fortunately, the Commander here is Orochimaru, whose Summoned Giant Snake played a crucial role in these battles, but the mortality rate was just too high.

Just like now, in order to block Killer B's Tailed Beast Transformation charge, five giant snakes had already died on the battlefield, and the remaining giant snakes could no longer restrain the enormous Tailed Beast.

In the end, it took the combined efforts of Konoha's Jonin to barely contain this behemoth.

This was the scene Taiichi witnessed when he first arrived at the Northern Battlefield. Compared to the situation in the south where Jiraiya was overwhelming Sunagakure, in the Northern Front, it was Cloud Village that was overwhelming Konoha. This was the first time Taiichi had truly witnessed the dominance of a Perfect Jinchuriki on the battlefield.

The Cloud Ninja were completely coordinating with Killer B's attack, using the Tailed Beast to open up the situation while ordinary ninjas advanced, somewhat like a tank-infantry coordinated attack.

Seeing that the Tailed Beast was about to head towards the next gathering place of Konoha Ninja, Taiichi no longer hesitated. Taking advantage of the chaos, he threw the Flying Thunder God Kunai at the head of the Tailed Beast, and then Taiichi.

Killer B been exceptionally happy lately.

Ever since he was defeated by Minato Namikaze and Taichi Matsushita of Konoha, he has always wanted to take revenge on them, but unfortunately he was sent to the front line to fight against Konoha.

But that's fine too. If we can't defeat them, we can at least collect some interest from these Konoha ninjas.

He thought this way and he did this way. During this time, as a Tailed Beast, he had crushed countless Konoha ninjas. The pent-up frustration in his heart had finally dissipated a lot, and even his inspiration for rapping had become more active.

"Ouch~ You bastards from Konoha, get out of here! Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

In Killer B's inner world, he was sitting on top of the Gyuki's nose, twisting his waist and waving his hands wildly, as if he had fallen into a state of excitement.

"I still need to be careful. I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this today."

Killer B froze, turned to look at the Gyuki's eyes, which were even bigger than his own, and said blankly, "You had that feeling too. I had a kind of illusion back then, you idiot, you bastard, you son of a bitch."

Just then, the Gyuki's roar rang out, "By the way, watch out!"

Outside, the Flying Thunder God Kunai, concealed by a flurry of flying Ninja Tool, smoothly arrived atop the Eight-Tails' head, followed by the simultaneous appearance of Taiichi's figure.

"Killer B, long time no see! Say hello!" Taiichi's laughter, amplified by his Ninjutsu, echoed across the entire battlefield, drawing everyone's attention.

Suddenly, the Flame Blade Qi on his Short Sword surged three meters, and with a powerful downward slash, the two-meter-long blade instantly pierced into the body of the Eight-Tails.

"Awooo~" A shrill scream echoed through the heavens and earth, and anyone could hear the endless pain in that sound.

The eight tentacles instantly retracted, trying to pull the small worm off its head.

But this time, Taiichi did not use the Flying Thunder God to retreat. He withdrew his Short Sword, poured his Chakra into it, and the three-meter-long Flame Blade Qi surged again, this time reaching a full five meters.

Taiichi twisted his body and swung his Greatsword, performing a 360-degree invincible spin. A wave of Flame Blade Qi instantly slashed out, cutting the returning tentacles.

However, the tentacles were simply too thick, and the sword energy was too scattered. After cutting off one-third of the tentacles' length, they were finally worn away.

Taiichi could only sigh upon seeing this; his strength was still insufficient.

Then, a pair of Chakra Wings suddenly extended from his back, carrying Taiichi away from the top of the Eight-Tails' head and hovering in mid-air.

This is the application of Chakra Materialization that Taiichi has developed during his research on the Adamantine Sealing Chains over the past month.

Originally, Taiichi could have condensed wings with his Chakra Control, but those wings were just pure Chakra and had no use. Now that he has mastered the Chakra Materialization, this ability to condense wings has finally come in handy, and Taiichi can now fly.

The entire battlefield fell silent, utterly shocked. It was a shocking sight; aside from A and Killer B, everyone else present was probably seeing a Tailed Beast being so brutally beaten by a human for the first time.

Don't say this was just a sneak attack. Even if the Eight-Tails stood still and let you attack, you might not be able to break through its physical defenses.

Besides, the other party only used three or two moves to severely injure the Eight-Tails.

"Taichi Matsushita, it's you again! I'm going to kill you, you bastard, you idiot!" Killer B jumped around, three of his eight tentacles were already unable to move and could only lie there limply, obviously too badly injured.

"Oh, Killer B, I heard you've been acting really badly lately, bullying our Konoha's chunin Genin. Why don't you come find me directly and we can have another three hundred rounds?"

Taiichi laughed, his voice, amplified by Chakra, no quieter than that of Tailed Beast.

At this moment, all the Konoha and Cloud Ninja witnessed everything finally reacted.

Konoha's morale was naturally high. For so many days, they had been suppressed by Cloud Village, but they were not convinced. Cloud Village had only won by using the Tailed Beast, a cheating method. Therefore, they had been holding their breath.

Now, Taiichi's arrival has finally given them a chance to vent their anger.

It was unclear which Konoha Ninja was the first to shout, "Kill! Kill all these Cloud Village scum!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

One after another, the sounds of battle rang out on the battlefield. Taking advantage of Taiichi's momentum in suppressing the Eight-Tails, the Konoha ninjas sounded the horn of counterattack for the first time in days.

In the sky, Taiichi flapped his wings and floated in mid-air, watching the two sides of ninjas fighting fiercely below.

Although Konoha's morale was high, their early disadvantage was too great, which meant that even when they launched a counterattack, Konoha was still struggling more and more.

Seeing this, Taiichi no longer hesitated. One-Handed Seal and released the Yin Seal on his forehead. In the next moment, his Chakra was instantly restored. Then, six Shadow Clone appeared in mid-air.

These are special Shadow Clone, each possessing the Chakra Quantity Taiichi peak.

They flapped their wings and swooped down towards the battlefield below, like tigers among sheep. The six Shadow Clone transformed into six scythes of Death God, reaping whatever they flew over.

They specifically targeted novice and junior ninja, taking them Genin in a single encounter. The six Shadow Clone showed absolutely no awareness of being skilled fighters.

"You bastard, how dare you criticize me? You did the same thing yourself!" Killer B, seeing Taiichi's shamelessness, immediately lost his composure.

It charged forward, brandishing its eight tentacles. The Eight-Tails' regenerative ability was truly remarkable; the three tentacles that had been paralyzed just moments before had already recovered.

"We're in the same boat; otherwise, if you can do it, I can't!"

Taiichi was shameless as well, constantly dodging Killer B's attacks in mid-air. He dared not be Teuchi, otherwise even the Fire Transformation Technique might not be able to save his life.

Just as the two were about to engage in a fierce struggle, three Signal Flare rose into the sky behind Cloud Village, signaling Cloud Village's retreat.

A little later, three Signal Flare also rose up behind Konoha.

Taiichi dodged Killer B's tentacle again, and with a flap of his wings, he created some distance.

This time, Killer B did not pursue again. Instead, he stood in Taiichi. Around the two, the Konoha and Cloud Village ninjas quickly separated and retreated to their respective rears.

At that moment, two figures rushed towards them from afar; they were Orochimaru and A from Cloud Village.

With the arrival of these two, Killer B was the first to deactivate his Tailed Beast Transformation, and his body began to shrink rapidly. Seeing this, Taiichi slowly landed on the ground, and the Chakra wings behind him turned into specks of light and dissipated in the air.

"Lord Orochimaru, I'm not too late, am I?" Taiichi smile.

Orochimaru gave a wicked smile. "Not late at all, you've arrived just in time."

The two greeted each other and then looked ahead, where Ai and Killer B were also looking at them.

"Taichi Matsushita, we meet again." Surprisingly, it was Ai who spoke first. Instead of the expected burning anger, Ai remained quite calm.

"Yes, but I never expected that every time we meet, it's the Cloud Village Tailed Beast that's attacking our Konoha by relying on the Tailed Beasts. Doesn't the Cloud Village have anyone else? They have to rely on the Tailed Beast for everything!"

Taiichi sharp-tongued; he never backs down when it comes to enemies. With just one sentence, he shut Ai down everything he was about to say.

"Konoha isn't without Jinchuriki, you just don't use them, you're just incompetent, you bastards, you idiots!" Killer B, seeing his older brother get the short end of the stick, wasn't about to back down either, after all, he'd never lost an argument.

Just as Taiichi was about to speak, Orochimaru stopped him with a gesture. Taiichi naturally had to give Orochimaru face; he understood the basic hierarchy and didn't disrespect Orochimaru just because he was stronger.

In fact, Orochimaru was somewhat apprehensive before. He had seen many young geniuses before, and such people were often the more talented they were, the more arrogant they became.

Although no signs of this were found in previous interactions with Taiichi, it had been a long time, and Taiichi did not have the strength he has now back then.

However, seeing Taiichi immediately quiet down at his mere gesture, Orochimaru couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy towards Jiraiya and Tsunade.

Those two guys are really lucky! How did they end up with such a good apprentice?

Composing himself, Orochimaru looked at A and Killer B ahead, "Now that Cloud Village has announced its retreat, are you two really not afraid that we'll leave you here?"

"Orochimaru, I'm not easily intimidated. Even if it were just you and Taichi Matsushita, or even if Minato Namikaze were here, you wouldn't be able to keep us brothers here."

Ai was arrogant and showed no shame whatsoever for having been defeated by Minato and Taiichi; his thick skin was clearly something he had developed.

"Taichi Matsushita, don't get cocky just because you gained a little advantage with a sneak attack. This is a battlefield, not a place for you to fight one-on-one. Next time we fight, I'll definitely twist your head off."

"Why wait until next time? If you have the guts, stay here now and let's settle this right here and now. Whoever runs away is a coward."

When it comes to verbal battles, Taiichi has never lost. Seeing Ai and Killer B's defiant expressions despite clearly losing, he felt a surge of secret pleasure.

Is there anything more satisfying in this world than seeing your enemy helpless against you? At Taiichi doesn't think so.

"A, Killer B, the Cloud Ninja have mostly withdrawn. If you two don't leave soon, Taiichi and I wouldn't mind keeping you here."

Orochimaru looked at the Cloud Ninja had already gone far away, and he was getting impatient. There were plenty of things to do at the Konoha Camp, and he didn't have time to waste with these two guys.

Reminded by Orochimaru, Taiichi realized that he had been tricked. The two old men were trying to stop him and delay Orochimaru's return to the Camp.

After all, Konoha suffered heavy losses at the beginning of this battle, and there must be many things to do in the Camp at this time.

They are all so insidious. Beneath their burly appearance lies such a treacherous and calculating heart. And Killer B too, they are all treacherous villains. In the end, the only truly innocent one is Taiichi himself.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got; the intense emotions seemed to have triggered something.

A figure suddenly appeared beside Taiichi.

That golden hair, and that iconic entrance—without even a proper look, Killer B exclaimed, "It's Minato Namikaze!"

Taiichi's expression changed at this moment, and he immediately shouted loudly.

"Senior Disciple Brother, let's go! Today, together with Lord Orochimaru, we'll take down those two Clown!" As he spoke, his Chakra surged, and he assumed a poised-to-pounce stance.

Ai, who was on the other side, was also startled when he saw this situation. He was not afraid of any two of these three people. If he couldn't beat them, he could still escape. But if he encountered all three at once, he might really lose his life here.

"By the way, retreat quickly!"

As he spoke, lightning crackled around him, and he instantly retreated. Killer B was no slower; his Tailed Beast Cloak appeared, and he increased his speed to the maximum, quickly fleeing backward.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared from Taiichi and Orochimaru's sight.

They were nothing like the fearless people I just described.

At this moment, Orochimaru was looking at Minato with great curiosity. He didn't remember the village sending Minato Namikaze to provide support again. If not, then who was this guy in front of him?

With a "bang," the Minato in front of us vanished in a puff of white smoke.

Beside him, Taiichi burst into laughter, clutching his stomach. "Still daring to spout nonsense? Didn't you run away in fear when you saw Senior Disciple Brother Minato?"

Sure enough, this was Taiichi's Shadow Clone. Considering how frightened A and Killer B were just now, these two guys had obviously suffered a great loss in their previous battles with Minato and Taiichi, and were left with psychological trauma.

"Alright, Taiichi, let's hurry back. Your early arrival was a huge help; otherwise, we would have suffered even more losses in today's battle."

Orochimaru rarely showed any signs of fatigue in front of Taiichi, which shows just how much pressure he has been under recently.

"These are things I should do."

Taiichi was quite polite, showing no signs of arrogance or pride.
