Seeing that Ren had agreed, Darui quickly asked.
"Did the Hokage come to this sea area because of the Eight-Tails?"
After asking the question, Darui looked at Ren nervously, and Ren nodded in agreement.
"Raikage, the only one who could have made me appear here is, of course, the Eight-Tails."
Although Ren was friendly and had a smile on his face, it made Darui's heart sink.
Kumogakure about to lose the Eight-Tails?
Not only Darui, but the faces of the other Hidden Cloud Village on the ship also turned ugly.
If you fall behind, you will be bullied; if you are weak, you will only be bullied.
Seeing that Darui, despite trying his best to control his emotions, still looked like he had swallowed a dead fly, the other Hidden Cloud Village also looked angry but dared not speak out.
Ren thought it best to remind the other side not to GG too quickly.
"Raikage, this is my first time witnessing Tailed Beast revive. It seems quite peculiar, so I came to take a look. Now that I've seen it all, it's time for me to leave."
Ren's explanation lifted Darui's spirits, and his eyes regained their light.
At the same time, Ren's hint allowed Darui to guess the location of the Eight-Tails, and he looked up at Ren and asked.
"Hokage, is the Eight-Tails in the sea ahead?"
Upon hearing the question, Ren immediately flew into the sky, while a gradually fading sound reached the ears of the Hidden Cloud Village.
"They should be not far ahead of you now!"
Almost at the same time as Ren's words were heard, a jet-black Tailed Beast Ball streaked across the sky above the Hidden Cloud Village ship.
If Ren hadn't dodged in time, he probably would have had to clash head-on with the Tailed Beast Ball again.
It's possible, but unnecessary. There's no Konoha camp behind Ren this time.
More importantly, no reporters were with them at this moment!
After one Tailed Beast Ball missed, several more Tailed Beast Ball came hurtling towards Ren.
This attack method, with its huge wind-up, couldn't hit Ren at all. His agile dodges in the air rendered all of the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball useless.
As Ren dodged the Tailed Beast Ball attack high in the sky, Dodai ran up to Darui and whispered something in his ear.
"Lord Raikage, we must stop Lord Eight-Tails Gyūki's actions immediately! Hidden Cloud Village cannot withstand any more trouble right now!"
Dodai's idea coincided with Darui's. Without responding to Dodai, Darui immediately shouted a command.
"Hidden Cloud Village Clan, full speed ahead!"
He then jumped off the ship first and ran towards the direction from which the Tailed Beast Ball came from; the Eight-Tails had already appeared in everyone's sight.
Darui responded to Dodai's suggestion with action.
Seeing Darui's actions, Dodai, who was the deputy commander for this operation, immediately added.
"Apart from the crew operating the ship and the medical team, all other teams will follow Lord Raikage into battle!"
Full of confidence, the Hidden Cloud Village members charged toward the Eight-Tails.
The Hidden Cloud Village, unaware of the truth, simply trusted their superiors.
Many other Hidden Cloud Village, including Dodai and Darui, believed that stopping the Eight-Tails would be easy.
Can we play the emotional card?
It's easy to understand why the Eight-Tails is now so determined to fight Ren to the death, given that everyone who knows about the relationship between the Eight-Tails and Killer B is aware of it.
Darui, who was the first to reach the Eight-Tails, shouted loudly.
"Gyūki, it is I, Darui. I am now the Fifth Raikage of Kumogakure. During your resurrection, many things have happened. Hidden Cloud Village and Konoha have made peace. Gyūki, could you please cease your attack?"
The newly born Gyūki was very wary of the guy shouting loudly not far in front of him.
In his short, beastly life, Gyūki had witnessed the common people as weak as ants, and had just witnessed the Ren who could bring him immense pain.
Upon seeing humans again, I have learned to remain vigilant.
Seeing the Eight-Tails' wariness of him, Darui realized he had said the wrong thing.
It seems that, apart from Killer B, Gyūki doesn't actually have a very good impression of Kumogakure.
The Dodai that arrived later sensed something was wrong after Darui spoke. Seeing the Gyūki's reaction, his mind raced, and he confidently stepped forward.
"Gyūki, it's me, Dodai. Could you please quiet down for now, for the sake of Killer B Bee? After all, Killer B Bee sacrificed himself to protect Hidden Cloud Village!"
The Eight-Tails Gyūki couldn't understand much of what they were saying, but at least he could tell that the two people in front of him, and the humans standing behind them, seemed to be very respectful to him.
Gyūki stopped condensing the Tailed Beast Ball, stretched out his right hand, and pointed it towards Ren in the air.
"Kill him!"
Dodai was initially quite excited that his words had stopped the Eight-Tails' attack, but then the Eight-Tails spoke...
This caused all the Hidden Cloud Village, including Darui and Dodai, to change their expressions.
Gyūki Demon, we can't afford to mess with that person!
You don't want to go through the resurrection phase again, do you?
Darui may appear lazy and laid-back, but to become the Raikage in a place like Kumogakure, he possesses the decisiveness and courage one would expect.
"In that case, Lord Gyūki, I'm sorry, but for the sake of Kumogakure, I must stop you from continuing your nonsense!"
Darui loudly declaring his stance, mainly so that Ren could hear, Darui glanced at Ren, who was still smiling broadly in the sky, and then said in a deep voice.
"Recycling operation, begin!"
Although Ren is still watching from the sidelines, arresting him now would reveal a lot of information, but between two evils, we have to choose the lesser.
Compared to continuing to provoke Ren, having some battle information leaked is insignificant.
At the same time, you have to pick the softest persimmon to squeeze. In Darui's eyes, the Eight-Tails Gyūki is the softest persimmon!
