After the Tailed Beast Bomb and several Rasenshuriken plowed through it, the forest looked like freshly reclaimed farmland, a complete mess...
The Kumogakure ninja's soaring momentum came to an abrupt halt.
In contrast, the Konoha ninja's long-suppressed emotions were completely ignited.
The Eight-Tails jinchuriki was severely injured!
The Raikage father and son had been forced back head-on!
It seemed that, in an instant, the dark clouds hanging over Konoha had been swept away.
"Attack!"
Hyuga Wuye had no interest in exchanging trash talk with the enemy, nor did he mean to show off.
If they did not beat a drowning dog now, when would they?
He had to use this opportunity to drive Kumogakure back. Killer B might have been badly injured, but jinchuriki possessed powerful recovery abilities. Even accounting for the enormous amount of chakra the Eight-Tails had expended, Wuye estimated that Killer B would only need around a month before returning to the battlefield.
And this period would be the time for him and Minato Namikaze to shine. Whether they could seize this window of opportunity would depend on their coordination!
"Kill—!"
The Konoha ninja surged forward like a tide.
A carried Killer B's unconscious body as he retreated.
The Third Raikage stepped forward to cover the retreat, but Hyuga Wuye tangled him up, leaving him unable to serve as a rearguard at all.
Instead, Wuye would occasionally toss a Paper Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique into the ranks of Kumogakure ninja, harvesting a wave of enemies every time.
This one-sided battle lasted a full day and night, only ending after they had fought from within the Land of Fire all the way into the heart of the Land of Rice Fields.
Konoha reestablished its defensive line at the Land of Fire's border, while Kumogakure also fell temporarily silent.
