Mabui Jin sounded very anxious, even sweating profusely.

As the strategist of Kumogakure, he had clearly realized that the Eight-Tails had been controlled by someone.

Thinking back to what he had said before, he was filled with worry.

"Fourth Raikage, if things don't go well this time, our Cloud Ninja will suffer heavy losses!"

"Oh!"

Maeki nodded subconsciously, not quite understanding why Mabui Jin wanted her to go back.

However, Mabui Jin was the highest-ranking commander in this war besides the Fourth Raikage, and she had no choice but to obey him.

He nodded, and in the next instant, he ran towards the Cloud Ninja camp.

"Mabui Jin! What brings you here!" The Fourth Raikage asked, puzzled, seeing Mabui Jin's flustered appearance.

Just as Mabui Jin was about to explain, the Eight-Tails that was running towards Liuyun suddenly stopped.

After splashing up clouds of mud, it appeared before Liuyun, then bowed its head and prostrated itself.

It was like a ferocious beast encountering its king, completely submitting to him.

"The Eight-Tails... How could this be..." The Fourth Raikage's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Sigh! The Eight-Tails has already been controlled by Liuyun's Sharingan, haven't you heard?"

"The ancestor of the Uchiha Clan, Madara Uchiha, used his Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails and fought the First Hokage at the Valley of the End...!"

Mabui Jin sighed, a wry smile on his face. He thought to himself, "If only my Fourth Raikage had read more books."

Otherwise, we wouldn't have made such a big mistake today.

The one who used Tailed Beasts to attack the Uchiha Clan was none other than Ice Emperor Uchiha Liuyun, who was on par with the First Hokage!

"Of course I know, but aren't those Jinchūriki who can't control their Tailed Beasts? They've already managed to control their Tailed Beasts to a basic degree!" The Fourth Raikage frowned.

"So it seems you were wrong. Whether you're a perfect Jinchūriki or not, it's all useless against those eyes!"

Mabui Jin pointed and shook his head slightly.

"Eight! The Eight-Tails has bowed its head! What's going on???"

"Haha! Has Haha submitted to Uchiha Liuyun?"

One by one, the Cloud Ninja began to discuss it, their tone filled with disbelief.

Not only the Cloud Ninja, but also the Konoha army, the only difference being that Konoha was excitedly discussing it.

At this moment, Liuyun was the center of attention, the focus of the entire event!

"Ding! Host, as the most dazzling person in the room, if not now, when?"

"Please maintain your aloof persona, host. Chakra reward: 10% increase!"

"2. Hosts who act cool and maintain aloof personas will be rewarded with a 10% increase in Mental Energy."

"3. Ignore this, no reward!"

Is there even a need to think about it? Liuyun immediately chose the second option.

Strolling, standing proudly atop the head of the Eight-Tails, Liuyun crossed his arms and looked down at the Fourth Raikage and the others below, slowly chanting.

"When I reach a high place, I find myself always alone. There's no one to talk to, and the desolate winter makes me shiver. What is my purpose at this height?!"

"Even ants know that shaking the heavens is difficult, but little do they know that you are the lowly ants!"

"Weak! You're really weak! Even if I carry a mountain on my back and hold up Konoha Shinobi Village with one hand, I, Uchiha Liuyun, am invincible in the Shinobi World!"

A detached and arrogant voice, imbued with Chakra, echoed rapidly through the air, instantly reverberating throughout the entire battlefield!

"Fourth Raikage, I'll ask you one question: do you choose a truce? Think carefully before you answer!!"

The Fourth Raikage's rage erupted like a volcano.

Every time I see you, you just have to act all high and mighty, damn it! Like a plant!!

"Lord Raikage, please reconsider! The sword is still in Uchiha Liuyun's hands!" Mabui Jin hurriedly advised.

"If you can defeat me, then the Cloud Ninja concede defeat in this war that has dragged on for so many years!"

The Fourth Raikage took a deep breath. He knew he was no match for Uchiha Liuyun, but he just couldn't let this go!

A strange look appeared in Liuyun's eyes, as did Mabui Jin beside him. Could the Fourth Raikage have such a hobby?!

"You straightforward Fourth Raikage boy! For your courage, I'll send you on your way using the fighting style of the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha!"

"Let me show you the difference between you and those two!"

Liuyun narrowed his eyes, and his scarlet Sharingan instantly transformed into Mangekyo. With a thought, he...

Purple flames swirled, instantly enveloping the Eight-Tails completely.

Chapter 192 Susanoo Armored with Eight-Tails, One Punch Raikage! (6 Updates!)

The entire Eight-Tails looked as if it were draped in a layer of purple armor!

"Majestic Attire! Susanoo!"

Standing proudly within the purple rhombus-shaped crystal, Liuyun spoke indifferently.

The Fourth Raikage somewhat surprised by Liuyun's words, but upon seeing the overwhelming pressure of the final form, he wanted to cry.

Just based on this terrifying pressure, my strength will be reduced by a bit.

Before he could even speak, the Eight-Tails on the opposite side vanished from its spot.

With a tremendous tremor, the Eight-Tails appeared before the Fourth Raikage, kicking up a cloud of dust!

Upon seeing this, Mabui Jin left without hesitation, leading the Sealing Squad behind him.

It's not that he doesn't want to help, it's just that there's absolutely no way he can help.

He was just a Jonin, and not even a Jonin fighting, not to mention the Sealing Squad next to him.

They have virtually no fighting ability. Letting them fight is like a mouse licking a cat—it's suicide!

We can only hope that the Fourth Raikage will give us a good lesson. Besides, this was the Fourth Raikage's own request, and as his subordinates, they can't very well disobey their superior's orders!

With this in mind, Mabui Jin felt less and less guilty!

Whoosh!

Just as he was running, a figure, 420, carrying a terrifying aura, flew backwards from above his head like a swift arrow.

Mabui Jin looked up and could vaguely see the face of the Fourth Raikage.

His lips twitched... He had assumed his Lord Raikage's demand for a one-on-one duel with Liuyun was a sign of his confidence in his own strength, that he could fight Liuyun for several rounds...

Now it seems like he was just asking for trouble. It's like a man failing instantly in a relationship – he has absolutely no staying power!

It's confirmed! Our Raikage has that attribute!!

With that thought in mind, Mabui Jin still ran towards the direction in which the Fourth Raikage had flown backward.

Boom!!

A deafening roar resounded

In the distance, a small mountain peak about 5 meters high appeared covered with dense cracks, and then, like a falling meteorite, it exploded with a loud bang.

A towering cloud of dust will rise into the sky, instantly enveloping the surrounding area.

Wind Release! Wind Release: Blow!

A Cloud Ninja roared using Wind Release Ninjutsu.

The surrounding dust, as if released, immediately flew away into the distance.

A short while later, the scene inside was revealed.

The ground collapsed, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared around it.

Huge rocks of various shapes stand here, and among the rock formations, a bronze arm looks so out of place.

"Lord Raikage!" Mabui Jin shouted.

They quickly cleared away the surrounding rocks, and the nearby Cloud Ninja rushed to help.

Before long, the Fourth Raikage's imposing figure came into view.

At this moment, the Fourth Raikage had his eyes closed, his breathing was slightly rapid, and his entire body was covered with small wounds.

Especially on his stomach, a clear dent from a fist was visible.

"Quickly! Medical Ninja, heal Lord Raikage!" Mabui Jin shouted anxiously.

One by one, the medical Cloud Ninja rushed to the Fourth Raikage and used Medical Ninjutsu to treat the wound on his Raikage.

Knock knock!

A tremendous, earth-shaking sound filled the air.

A colossal purple creature appeared before them.

The overwhelming pressure caused the surrounding Cloud Ninja unconsciously breathe rapidly.

"That's it? I thought you'd improved over the years, but it turns out your bragging skills have gotten quite a bit better!!"

A disdainful and indifferent voice came from above the Eight-Tails' head.

As the group of Cloud Ninjas turned their heads to look, they unconsciously lowered their heads and fell silent.

Because what they said was true, there was no chance to refute it.

"Protect Lord Raikage!" One of the Cloud Ninjas shouted upon seeing this, and in an instant, countless Cloud Ninjas rained down around Liuyun.

"Do you want to take action? Are you sure?"

With his arms crossed, Liuyun didn't even glance at the Cloud Ninja around him, his tone carrying a hint of interest.

"Get back, all of you!" After being treated by the Medical Ninja, the Fourth Raikage opened his eyes and roared weakly.

The sound, mixed with Chakra, could be clearly heard by the surrounding Cloud Ninja.

"This time I have lost, and we, the Cloud Ninja, are willing to sign a ceasefire agreement! We will not shortchange Konoha on what we owe you!"

The Fourth Raikage's face was slightly pale as he glared at Liuyun through gritted teeth.

"No need to compensate Konoha! My presence here has nothing to do with Konoha!"

Liuyun deactivated Susanoo Mode and released the Eight-Tails from his control, standing proudly in the void with an indifferent expression.

Without the control of Liuyun, the rampaging Eight-Tails 'Chakra began to contract violently, like a small Black Hole.

In an instant, he transformed into a human figure, collapsing naked on the ground—it was Killer B, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

Upon seeing this, some Cloud Ninja quickly draped a layer of clothing over Killer B.

"You mean... this is your personal wish?" The Fourth Raikage's eyes flickered, and a blush appeared on his pale face.

Even a fool would know which side Konoha and Liuyun should choose.

"Then... compensation is convenient..."

"I don't need to give Konoha a single penny! I have absolutely no goodwill towards Konoha right now!"

Liuyun's tone was icy; once this wave was over, he was determined to turn Konoha upside down.

He doesn't have a good impression of Konoha? Having vaguely heard some rumors about Konoha, Mabui Jin's eyes lit up.

"Lord Liuyun, why not join our Kumogakure? Unlike Konoha, we Cloud Ninja don't have so many hidden agendas. We're all like Lord Raikage —straightforward and decisive, we fight if we don't like something!"

"Yes! Come to our Kumogakure! Our Kumogakure is much more harmonious than Konoha!"

The Fourth Raikage regained his senses, ignoring the pain in his body, and immediately began to recruit them.

He would be willing to endure even more severe injuries than to drag Liuyun into the Kumogakure.

At the same time, I am very grateful to that bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi; he's an absolute idiot.

Instead of trying to recruit such powerful individuals, you're pushing them away. I don't know how this idiot became Hokage.

The Fourth Raikage and Mabui Jin's attempts to win them over gradually eased the tense atmosphere on the field.
