"You'll hand it over, whether you want to or not."
Chiya's voice was calm as still water, yet carried an unquestionable imperial will. Though he had not swung Ryūjin Jakka, the terrifying heat held within its blade had already made the air throughout the Valley of Clouds and Lightning searing hot.
Killer B looked at the seven swords scattered across the ground, his gaze behind his sunglasses growing graver than ever.
He could sense that the man before him was not joking.
"Fool! Idiot! If you want a ticket, you'll have to step over my dead body! Yeah!"

Then a streak of ferocious blue lightning hurtled over from Kumogakure like a falling meteor, carrying the force to crush everything in its path!
It was too fast!

BOOM!!!

The Fourth Raikage-A!
Behind him, thousands of fully armed elite Kumogakure
