Bow to Konoha Before You Die / Konoha's Choice for the Next Raikage
The Tailed Beast Cloak expanded once more, and accompanied by the roar of the Eight-Tails Gyuki, the Tailed Beasts's body began to take shape.
Uchiha Shingen remained expressionless, but he mobilized his eye power to a great extent.
Two enormous figures, one brownish-red and the other snow-white, rose at the same time.
Chapter Thirty-Nine: Bowing to Leaf Village Before Dying
Hearing the roar of the Gyuki, Konan, who remembered the paper-winged flight, turned around.
Then she saw the Eight-Tails Gyuki rising from the ground in the town, and the white Susanoo facing directly opposite the Gyuki.
Looking at those two towering figures, Konan's expression turned grim.
The Raikage is going all out!
Is this mission going to fail? Even Nagato couldn't stop these Konoha Ninja?
Before she could think any further, a dark green Susanoo rose up again behind the Eight-Tails Gyuki!
[There's one more!?]
Konan opened her eyes wide.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind came from the side; the wind pressure arrived before the attack.
Knowing she shouldn't be distracted, Konan spread her wings to fly away, just then a row of Shuriken came flying at her, each one attached with Explosive Tag.
Seeing that she couldn't dodge it, Konan was exclaiming "Damn it!" and thinking to herself that she was probably going to lose this time. Just as she was thinking about how to fall down in a more ladylike way, a wisp of red hair appeared in front of her.
Nagato suddenly appeared in front of Konan, arms outstretched.
Torifu Akimichi's Multi-Powered Push Hand and Mitokado Homura's Explosive Tag Shuriken struck from both sides almost simultaneously.
Deva Path: Shinra Tensei.
The Kakkō from the explosion were like reversed waves, pushed in the opposite direction by a repulsive force.
Multiply: Super Push was bounced back at an even faster speed.
Torifu Akimichi a muffled groan, canceling the multi-stage transformation. Utatane Koharu forward like lightning and used Medical Ninjutsu.
Nagato grabbed Konan's shoulder and floated down from the sky.
"Cease fire, Konoha Ninja."
"You are the ones who chose to wage war against Leaf Village." Mitokado Homura shielded his wounded comrade behind him.
"This is what ninjas do; the client's grudges have nothing to do with ninjas," Nagato said.
Uchiha Shingen's actions reminded him.
Konan shouldn't be involved in this situation.
Ultimately, the Kumogakure's intelligence was flawed, and they completely misjudged the situation.
It's only natural that the Raikage is now under siege.
"Kakuzu," Nagato called out.
Kakuzu leaped out of the darkness, his mood utterly terrible.
"The intelligence from Kumogakure was wrong. This mission is no longer our concern from now on." Nagato looked at Mitokado Homura. "That's the situation."
Looking at the other Mitokado Homura's Rinnegan, Mitokado Homura's reason told him that for the sake of Leaf Village, he should abandon the Raikage and leave this man behind.
"Yan," Torifu Akimichi suddenly spoke up, "The bigger picture is what matters."
"I know about Torifu," Mitokado Homura sighed inwardly, then said to Nagato, "Okay, Leaf Village accepts this reason, as long as they don't interfere with us anymore."
Regardless of what kind of Dōjutsu it is, it's not a good day to make enemies.
This is a chance to avenge the teacher; if we miss it today, we may never have another.
The current Leaf Village no longer needs to go to that extent.
"Excuse me." Nagato nodded, not even glancing at the Raikage, and turned to leave with Konan and Kakuzu without any hesitation.
The three disappeared into the night. Mitokado Homura waited a while longer, and when he was sure that they had most likely left, he relaxed and turned to look at Torifu Akimichi.
"How is the hand that Torifu?"
"This isn't good." Utatane Koharu was still using Medical Ninjutsu. "I don't know what kind of Ninjutsu the opponent used, Torifu can't use this hand today."
"I have another hand," Torifu Akimichi said.
Boom!
A sudden loud bang echoed in the sky, followed by a brilliant flash of light that illuminated the town, which had already been shrouded in twilight.
The three looked in the same direction, where the white giant was brutally beating the Gyuki.
With a single, casual sword stroke, it sliced through the octopus tentacles. Its large shield blocked all of the Gyuki's attacks. The Gyuki's frantic strikes vanished upon contact with the shield, which then unleashed even stronger shockwaves, forcing the Gyuki to retreat step by step.
The dark green War God stood by, providing support, and its appearance was exactly as the three remembered it.
"If only Kagami were still alive..." Mitokado Homura sighed.
Utatane Koharu, remained silent, her expression somewhat complicated.
She hadn't gone near that area before, not only because she wanted to keep Konan occupied, but also because she didn't want Kagami Uchiha to see her current appearance.
She didn't want Kagami Uchiha to know that she had considered what she would do if she had to choose between the village and his clan.
Although she believed that Kagami Uchiha knew, and knew back then.
"Alright, let's go over there."
Mitokado Homura said.
Utatane Koharu opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing. She bandaged Torifu Akimichi, and then the three of them walked towards the direction of Gyuki.
The Gyuki roared once more, but this time the sound was somewhat desolate.
Uchiha Shingen manipulated Susanoo, and with each swing of the Totsuka Blade, something was cut off from the Gyuki. Just now, he had sliced off one of the Gyuki's arms.
Cutting off a person's limbs is called "human stick".
If it's Gyuki, calling it a bull stick would be appropriate.
Susanoo strode forward, thrusting the Yata Mirror forward and smashing it directly into the Gyuki's face, flattening it flat.
Setting aside the techniques for using Chakra, in terms of Chakra power alone, the Complete Tailed Beast Transformation mode of Jinchūriki is incomparable to the Tailed Beasts's true form.
The Fourth Raikage fighting him in this state is simply asking for trouble.
The blame lies with the Fourth Raikage for overestimating himself; he came to negotiate immediately after becoming Jinchūriki, digging his own grave.
The dark green Susanoo seized the opportunity and slashed from the side, severing one of the Gyuki's legs.
Losing its support, the Gyuki lay on its back.
"Uchiha Clan!" it roared angrily, the voice of the Fourth Raikage ringing out.
"Shut up, you bastard!" Uchiha Shingen stabbed his sword into its mouth, pinning its head to the ground.
The Totsuka Blade's special ability began to take effect; the Chakra that formed the Gyuki's head began to "melt" and be absorbed into the Totsuka Blade.
This trend quickly spread to the entire body of the Gyuki.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others slowly surrounded them.
Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and Torifu Akimichi approached from another direction.
When they arrived, the two Susanoo were still fighting the Gyuki, so they watched from the sidelines.
They don't need to do anything.
Now, seeing that the skin was being gradually peeled away by the Totsuka Blade, they came over.
Ai's figure is now appearing.
He's not in good shape right now. It's true that the Totsuka Blade pierced the Tailed Beast Chakra, but the Tailed Beast Chakra came from his body.
This wasn't much different from him being hit by a Totsuka Blade.
An intense feeling of exhaustion was frantically assaulting his will, almost like the feeling of running out of Chakra.
This was not an illusion; the Totsuka Blade had "exhausted" his Chakra.
A's chest heaved violently; his Chakra was depleted, his Lightning Release Chakra Mode was no longer usable, and the Eight-Tails was not responding. He decided to fight with his own body.
However, just as he stood up, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already rushed in front of him, his Ruyi Jingu Bang slamming into his knee with a whooshing sound.
Everyone heard the sound of something being smashed.
"Kneel down!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said coldly.
Shimura Danzō appeared behind him like a ghost, and with a swift movement, Ai's two arms fell to the ground, severed by the wind blade.
Then he kicked him in the joint that had already been shattered by the Adamantine Staff.
Ai collapsed to the ground with a thud; this time, he was truly kneeling.
Fragments of bone were protruding from the skin.
The Leaf Village ninjas stared coldly at him.
Ai's face first turned red, then blue, and his neck swelled up as if it were about to explode. Then he started cursing loudly.
He began to curse Hidden Leaf Village).
Shimura Danzō forward, reached in, and pulled out a piece of his tongue.
Now Ai was speechless, so he roared furiously, his voice rolling like thunder, carrying far and wide.
The two Susanoo figures disappeared, and Uchiha Shingen and Kagami Uchiha walked over.
"Give him a quick death, that'll make him a man," said Uchiha Shingen.
"Cloud Village is a place for raising livestock, not for treating people," Shimura Danzō said. "Find an iron hook and hang him here so that passersby can see him."
"Danzo, this will make Leaf Village feared," sighed Kagami Uchiha. "Then we've lost our original purpose."
Shimura Danzō raised an eyebrow, then came up with another idea.
"Then let's bleed him. This guy's got a good size; he should last a while."
"This is no different from before..." Kagami Uchiha was speechless.
"Just like Shingen said, let's just kill him," Sarutobi Hiruzen said. "This is the direction we came from. Let him kowtow towards Leaf Village, then kill him, and then deal with the Cloud Village troops."
"This is acceptable." Shimura Danzō, grinned maliciously, and walked towards Ai.
He grabbed Ai's head and slammed it to the ground.
Each one is heavier than the last.
In other words, Ai has a strong physique; if it were someone else, their brains would have been smashed out.
After smashing everything, Shimura Danzō Danzo was about to make his move when Uchiha Shingen suddenly spoke up.
"Can I have that last push?"
Shimura Danzō Uchiha Shingen Uchiha Shingen and remembered Shingen's behavior when he took on his job. A smile crept onto his ferocious face.
He tossed Ai to the ground like trash and made room for her.
In an instant, a broad, flaming sword burst forth from the ground, piercing Ai's stomach and sending him flying into the air.
Flames burned flesh and blood, sizzling as they burned.
Ai's eyes were fixed on Uchiha Shingen.
"I just wanted to tell you," Uchiha Shingen said calmly, looking at him, "That's how Killer B died."
The next moment, the flaming sword exploded from Ai's body.
Just like Killer B before, flames tore through and engulfed A's body. With the explosion of flames, the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure was reduced to ashes.
Chapter 40 The Raikage Chosen by the People of Leaf Village
Looking at the huge fireworks in the sky, Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Shingen, and the rest of Tobirama Squad's team all fell silent.
The fact that Kumogakure has developed to its current strength is both expected and unexpected for Leaf Village.
