This time, not even ANBU dared to raise his head.
Danzo was silent for a moment and sneered:
"Don't you think it's too late for you to ask me now?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face became even more ugly.
Danzo continued:
"Who gave me permission to contact Kumogakure Delegation in the first place?"
"Who said that Uchiha Ren cannot be allowed to continue to penetrate Kumogakure?"
"Who said that as long as Ren can be contained and he is allowed to withdraw his troops from Kumogakure, Kumogakure can be given a chance?"
Utatane Koharu turned pale.
Mitokado Homura's voice is tight.
"Hiruzen, you really..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his head sharply.
"I just asked Danzo to try to contain Ren, and asked Kumogakure Delegation to deliver the message to the front line."
"I didn't let them attack Yaonai!"
Danzo sneered even more.
"Don't you know what is the most effective way to contain Ren?"
"Uchiha Ren can't even suppress Raikage and Eight-Tails now. What can Kumogakure do to make him withdraw his troops?"
"Only Yaonai."
"That child is his weakness."
"As long as Yaonai falls into the hands of Kumogakure, Ren must be put in the hands of the rat."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said angrily:
"But you got things out of control!"
"Shisui just made it very clear."
"Within three days, Yaonai must return to Uchiha District intact."
"Otherwise Ren will give up Kumogakure and take Uchiha Shrine to attack Konoha!"
Danzo hit the cane hard.
"That's just a threat."
"Uchiha Ren is now only one step away from breaking through Kumogakure."
"Is he willing to give up?"
"He won't fight Hokage? Do you believe this?"
"When he returns from victory, the Konoha people will regard him as a hero, Hyuga will fall to him, and Uchiha will support him. By then, even if he says he won't fight, the people will push him to Hokage Position."
Danzo has one cold eye.
"Hiruzen, you and I both understand that power can never be given up by accident."
"Ren I can't argue now, but it's just not the time yet."
"When he comes back with the victory of defeating Kumogakure, what will Hokage Building do to suppress him?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Danzo, his voice deeper than before.
"This is no reason for you to continue to hold Yaonai."
"I order you to bring Yaonai back intact within three days."
Danzo's face turned cold.
"What if Kumogakure doesn't hand it over?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said word for word:
"Then let Gen find it."
"Since you can secretly cooperate with Kumogakure to send her out, you must have a way to bring her back."
"Danzo, this matter cannot be delayed any longer."
"It's not for Uchiha, it's for Konoha."
Danzo was about to speak, but Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted him directly.
"Do you think Ren is bluffing?"
"He didn't ask Xinying to bring back a harsh word, but he specifically asked Shisui to come to Hokage Building and hand over the message to me in person."
"This is an ultimatum."
"Shisui is not here to negotiate."
"He came to tell us that Uchiha has set three days as the bottom line."
Mitokado Homura nodded with a heavy face.
"Hiruzen is right. Shisui personally conveyed the message, but the meaning is different."
Utatane Koharu gritted his teeth and said:
"But if Yaonai is really in the hands of Kumogakure, three days is too short."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said coldly:
"So we must act immediately."
He looked at Danzo again.
"Also, Shisui revealed something."
Danzo frowned.
"What's the matter?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice was low, but it made the whole office feel cold.
"Ren's pupil power is enough to control Tailed Beasts."
"The reason why Eight-Tails and Two-Tails dare not be approached by him is not just because of his Taijutsu and Susanoo."
"Moreover, once you face those Mangekyo, Tailed Beasts's will may be suppressed by him."
Danzo's one eye suddenly shrank.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at him, his tone extremely serious.
"Danzo, do you understand what this means?"
"If he really takes Uchiha Shrine to fight back Konoha, the village will not only have to face a group of Mangekyo and Near-Kage Level Temple."
"We still have to face Uchiha Ren who may seize control of Tailed Beasts."
Danzo The hand holding the crutch suddenly froze.
His expression completely changed.
Land of Lightning Above the wasteland, the broken earth can't be seen to the end.
Half of the mountain was collapsed, and the rock wall was full of fist marks, thunder marks, and burnt black cracks from Tailed Beast Chakra.
The fight lasted from last night to today, and from day to night.
A whole day and night.
The roar on this battlefield never really stopped.
Ren stood in the middle of the ruins, and the black Divine Robe was blown away by the thunder wind.
Opposite him, Fourth Raikage A was squatting on the ground, his chest heaving violently, and lightning crackling all over his body.
Killer B stood beside Raikage. His body no longer transformed into the mountain-like form of Eight-Tails, but was covered with a layer of red and black Tailed Beast Cloak.
Tailed Beast Chakra burned against his body, and the outer layer was covered with blue-white Lightning Release Armor.
The lightning and Tailed Beast Cloak overlapped and turned into a living armor, with every beat showing the ferocity of a beast.
Even more amazing is Raikage A.
Raikage, who should not have the power of Tailed Beasts, is actually covered with a layer of red and black Tailed Beast Cloak at this moment.
That Tailed Beast Cloak is not complete, but it is like a condensed shell of Eight-Tails Chakra, tightly attached to his Lightning Release Armor.
Blue and white lightning flashed on the outer layer, while red and black Tailed Beast Chakra surged on the inner layer. The two forces did not disperse each other, but instead formed an extremely rough and stable balance.
Tekka Uchiha stood on the hillside in the distance, tightening his fingers on the short knife little by little.
"Are you kidding..."
"Why is there Tailed Beast Cloak on Raikage?"
Nanami also looked tense.
"He is not Jinchuriki."
"Under normal circumstances, when Tailed Beast Chakra invades the body, it will only tear his meridians."
Hizashi Hyuga Byakugan stared closely at the Chakra flow between Ai and Killer B, the veins on his forehead popped out, and his voice became silent.
"Wrong."
"That's not Tailed Beast Chakra in Raikage's own body."
"It's Killer B who is supplying him."
Itachi stood not far behind Ren. Mangekyo was not turned on, but the pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan could clearly see the status of the two of them.
"Killer B uses the compatibility between himself and Eight-Tails as a relay."
"Eight-Tails Chakra first passed through Killer B's body, was subdued by his will, and then separated a part of it and put it on Raikage's body."
"Raikage is not Jinchuriki, but we borrowed Tailed Beast Cloak."
Tekka My scalp feels numb when I hear it.
"Can you still fight like this?"
Itachi didn't answer.
Because the scene before me has already given the answer.
It works, and it's very effective.
Ren looked at Raikage A and Killer B in front of him, with a hint of real admiration in his tone for the first time.
"You two are much stronger than last time for being able to persist under my attack until now."
Raikage A raised his head, there were blood stains on his face, but his voice was still irritable.
"Stop using that judgmental tone!"
"Uchiha Ren, I haven't fallen yet!"
Killer B grinned, and the Tailed Beast Cloak on his shoulders squirmed quickly. The bloody mouth that was originally cracked by Ren's fist closed again at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Hey, if you keep standing, brother, the rhythm will continue."
"With the help of my uncle, Lightning Armor is more crazy. Uchiha wants to win, but it's not that smooth."
Eight-Tails Gyuki's voice came from Killer B's body, as deep as thunder.
"Don't be careless, Bi."
"Ren hasn't used all his strength yet."
Killer B did not sing again.
Of course he understands.
What really made his heart sinking was not that Ren praised them for being strong, but that they used this new system and still only dragged the battle into a stalemate.
If it were in the past, Raikage and Eight-Tails would be enough to dominate most battlefields.
But facing Ren, their goal now is no longer to win.
Instead, persist, hold him back, and force him to consume.
Don't let him penetrate Kumogakure's final bottom line in one breath.
