Inspiring Will: Flying Thunder God

"Damn it!"

On a hill not far away, Chuan Yu clearly saw the Root reinforcements arriving.

If he got entangled with them, his identity would be exposed sooner or later.

Might as well...

He flipped back to his original position, and the shadows surrounding him shattered instantly.

Crouching down, Chuan Yu pressed his left hand toward the ground.

"Raikiri!"

Powerful lightning condensed in Chuan Yu's palm, and the surrounding air immediately crackled with a sizzling sound.

His mastery of the five elemental chakra natures had reached such a level that he could unleash the S-rank ninjutsu Raikiri without even needing to weave hand signs!

Perhaps sensing Chuan Yu's killing intent, the surrounding Cloud Village ninjas suddenly froze and began to slowly retreat.

"I'll end this battle with this strike, then get out of here..."

His gaze turned abruptly cold, and a wisp of frigid air escaped from Chuan Yu's lips...

As the power of the lightning grew increasingly intense, Chuan Yu charged toward the guards!

The sheer magnitude of this power began to affect the guards' emotions; in the blink of an eye, they abandoned all resistance, bracing themselves for the arrival of death.

Suddenly.

An octopus tentacle wrapped directly around Chuan Yu's waist.

With a powerful flick, Chuan Yu was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the jungle nearby.

"Bakayarou, konoyarou!"

"Good thing I'm here, yeah!"

A man wearing black sunglasses swayed his body as he jumped down from a tree.

The Cloud Village ninjas were instantly overcome with excitement upon seeing him.

"Lord Bee!"

Killer Bee?

Chuan Yu rubbed his sore backside and sat up.

That's right...

Those black sunglasses looked like something only an old man would wear...

He loved rap...

The Eight-Tails jinchuriki!

The Root ninjas who had come to provide reinforcements suddenly stopped in their tracks, and the captain leading them waved his hand.

They turned and headed toward the Hyuga Clan's encampment.

To think I'd run into this guy here...

Come to think of it, the Raikage didn't appear in Konoha this time, so Killer Bee must have come specifically to protect the high-ranking officials during the negotiations...

This is truly troublesome...

Chuan Yu didn't even need to think about it; he was no match for Killer Bee right now.

His opponent was a perfect jinchuriki, possessing strength inherited from the Eight-Tails.

Even though he possessed the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, his opponent was a jinchuriki.

Even if he were caught in a genjutsu, the Tailed Beast within the man would wake him up immediately...

There was only one way...

Hidden in the grass, Orochimaru watched Chuan Yu with satisfaction; the boy's talent was truly an eye-opener for him.

"So, facing a jinchuriki next..."

"Let me see the full extent of your power..."

Taking a deep breath...

Chuan Yu clenched his fists.

Killer Bee immediately became interested: "Yo! A display of anger! The evil face beneath the mask is nothing but a clown! Yeah!"

Time to bail!

Chuan Yu turned and accelerated, fleeing the scene.

For a split second, Killer Bee, who had been standing there in a daze, froze.

"Eh?"

Coming to his senses, Killer Bee turned and sprinted in hot pursuit.

Orochimaru was extremely disappointed at this moment; he had originally hoped to use this opportunity to gauge the full extent of Chuan Yu's strength.

Yet, Chuan Yu was clearly failing to live up to expectations...

At a river on the outskirts of the border, Chuan Yu leaped across to the opposite bank.

If he continued any further, he would likely reach the borders of the Rock Village.

"Yeah! Found you!"

The moment he looked up at the sky, Killer Bee transformed directly into his Tailed Beast form and crashed down with the weight of a thousand pounds!

Even though Chuan Yu dodged, the tremor of the ground beneath his feet sent him reeling into the air.

Killer Bee's entire body was cloaked in a blood-red shroud, looking just like a demon.

The tails behind him wrapped tightly around Chuan Yu.

Now...

Chuan Yu was unable to move.

"Bakayaro! Konoyaro!"

"Let me guess who is behind that mask!"

What a terrible rap...

Chuan Yu gritted his teeth, his body held fast...

Having already mastered Fire Style ninjutsu...

Now was the moment to save his own life.

No hand seals required...

"Fire Style! Majestic Destroyer Flame!"

The scorching flames melted the tails bound around his waist, and after landing, Chuan Yu turned and dove into the forest.

"Yo! So hot! So hot!"

Killer Bee used his tails to shield his body, but when the flames dissipated, he found that Chuan Yu had vanished.

"Bee! In the bushes on the left!"

"Yoshi!"

Hanging upside down from a vine, Chuan Yu closed his eyes, sensing the changes in his environment.

He was very close to that place now...

By the time Killer Bee caught up, Chuan Yu was already prepared.

Running was not a solution.

To become a powerhouse, one must carve the word "ruthless" into their heart.

First, one must be ruthless to oneself.

Opportunities for live combat against an Eight-Tails jinchuriki were rare.

But the benefits were profound.

Suddenly remembering his system, Chuan Yu decided to give it his all.

Infinite possibilities would lead to absolute motivation!

"Looks like you're ready, yo!"

Without a word of reply, Chuan Yu unleashed Raikiri and charged straight at Killer Bee!

Killer Bee remained unhurried, his octopus tentacles flying rapidly toward Chuan Yu.

Chuan Yu swung his left hand, slicing through every tentacle with Raikiri, his speed breaking through the heavens the moment he neared Killer Bee!

"Die!"

Did it hit?

Chuan Yu stared at Killer Bee, his left hand having pierced through his chest, yet there was no expression on Killer Bee's face.

Just as Chuan Yu hesitated, Killer Bee suddenly burst into laughter.

Chuan Yu's left hand was then forcibly ripped out of his chest by Killer Bee!

"I have to say, your attack is truly monstrous, but you seem to have overlooked my regenerative abilities as a jinchuriki..."

"If you had used just a tiny bit more strength, you might have won! Yeah!"

A fist swung out violently, striking Chuan Yu square in the abdomen.

Chuan Yu's expression shifted drastically as his body rolled uncontrollably toward the rocks nearby.

The rocky cliff collapsed instantly.

"Cough, cough..."

Chuanyu clutched his stomach and collapsed onto the ground.

He had yet to grow into his own, and already he had to face such a powerful jinchuriki...

Was there truly no other way?

He was not the type to give up when faced with adversity...

Itachi was still waiting for him...

Sasuke would be getting out of school soon...

Only a desperate resolve could unlock infinite power...

It was because his fear had been magnified that he had lost his fighting spirit...

He was Uchiha Chuanyu...

The Uchiha clan was still waiting for him to change their fate!

[Ding! The host is fired up! Fighting spirit recognized by the system!]

[Undying Will! The distance one can endure is a choice of resolve! Special check-in triggered by the scene!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for learning the ninjutsu: Flying Thunder God!]

[A desperate resolve is the fire that ignites the heart! Fear is nothing but ashes now!]

A worn kunai suddenly flew out from the collapsed rocks.

Killer Bee lazily shifted his body to the side, dodging the attack with ease.

Suddenly, he felt a tingling sensation behind him. He whipped his head around, only to find that Chuanyu had appeared behind him at some point!

The Raikiri in Chuanyu's hand was right before his eyes, the electrical current already numbing Killer Bee's body.

If Chuanyu were to exert just a little more force, Killer Bee's chest would surely be pierced through!

"Stop!"

A figure suddenly appeared, intercepting Chuanyu mid-stride before scooping him up and vanishing into the forest.
