Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 354 Rescue

"A clever diversionary tactic... a brilliant idea!"

"Yukito... found you!"

While muttering his own rap, Killer Bee approached a tent.

Within Yugito's iron armor seal lies a tracking method incorporating elements from the Cloud Ninja. Given the close proximity, finding Yugito wouldn't require much effort at all.

Whoosh whoosh!

Before he could even get close to Yugito's tent, a large shuriken kunai shot towards Killer Bee.

Clearly, the Konoha ninja guarding Yugito had discovered his presence and launched an attack without warning.

"These...little tricks...don't work on me!"

Without using his ninja sword or any ninjutsu to defend himself, Killer Bee simply twisted his thick waist, swayed his large buttocks, and made strange arm gestures to dodge the probing attack.

But that pose... was really an eyesore.

"Ninja Art: Shadow Imitation Technique"

"Secret Technique: The Art of Body Transformation into Mind"

Before Killer Bee could even congratulate himself on how captivating his dance moves were and how fluid his posture was, a black shadow silently appeared at his feet.

He then felt as if he were inside someone else's body, appreciating his masterpiece from a different perspective.

"Secret Technique: Partial Multiplication Technique"

Just as he was about to praise his own graceful and fluid posture, a fist as big as a carriage came crashing down on his head.

"NO!"

Just as Killer Bee was about to cry out in his heart, unable to bear witnessing the terrible state he was about to suffer.

"what!"

His body suddenly opened its mouth, cried out in terror, and then Killer Bee returned to his body.

Moreover, before he could react, a flesh-colored tentacle covered with countless suckers grew out from behind him, blocking the threat from above.

"What's wrong, Ryoichi?"

Upon seeing his companion suddenly exclaim in surprise, the Nara clan leader, not paying attention to the strange tentacles behind the other person, immediately became concerned about his companion's condition.

"Be careful!"

"The opponent is the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of the Cloud Ninja!"

Just as he entered Killer Bee's body, before Yamanaka Ryoichi could make any move, a strange creature with a fleshy body, resembling both a cow and an octopus, greeted him and then roared at him.

He was still in a daze, but as if he had thought of something, the mountain tribesman endured the faint pain in his head and reminded his companion in a hoarse voice.

"...What?!"

Upon hearing this, the Nara clansman, who had been sent by his clan leader to guard the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, was truly speechless, a string of "MMP" stuck in his throat.

The Cloud Ninja are too much trouble. Late at night, not only did the Raikage personally take action, but even the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki came out. What is he supposed to do?

"You all take your objective and go ahead!"

He glanced at the tent behind him, made a hand gesture to his companion, and shouted at the tent behind him.

Now that things have come to this, he has no better options than to let the Konoha ninja in the tents retreat with the Jinchuriki and hold out for the time being.

I just hope the clan chief will realize the situation is bad soon and send reinforcements, otherwise…

……

"Alright, we're quite a distance from the camp now, which should make it easier for your companions to make their move. Let's begin the next round!"

Looking at the Raikage following behind him, Toshiro gave him a provocative look and said.

"You...how did you know our plans?"

"It's not a very clever diversionary tactic!"

Upon hearing the question, Toshiro replied with a sarcastic and indifferent tone.

The Raikage came out to attract the attention of Konoha's main fighting force, and then sent his subordinates or comrades to rescue Yugito. Toshiro wasn't an idiot, how could he not know this?

However, none of that mattered. He had already obtained the Two-Tails' chakra, so he didn't really care whether the Two-Tails' jinchūriki was in Konoha's hands or not.

"It's more interesting to continue the battle we just finished than to deal with those insignificant Jinchūriki!"

"Since you're courting death... I'll grant your wish!"

Although he didn't know why the other party knew his plan but still followed his script, none of that prevented him from killing them.

"Kid...be prepared to die!"

After saying this, the Raikage's chakra surged again, and the form of his Lightning Release armor changed, becoming thicker and thicker. Even the two slender chakra spikes on his shoulders became longer and thicker, making him look even more ferocious.

His original slicked-back hair has been transformed into an afro.

"Finally, they've shown their true skills! Now this is more interesting!"

The battle just now, whether it was him or the Raikage, was just a warm-up; now the real contest is about to begin.

"Come on... let me see if the Cloud Village's famous Lightning Release Armor is as indestructible as rumored!"

After saying this, Toshiro's entire demeanor changed, and he lost the composure he had when he fought his opponent.

A massive burst of chakra slowly erupted from his body, creating a gust of wind around him. Even the grass and trees on the ground seemed to float into the air because of his chakra, and the trees around him also fell to the sides because of this sudden gust of wind.

"Raiden Ninja Meets Suzuki Ritsukasa"

"Strange power"

Rumble!

The clash of their fists was like the collision of two high-speed train engines, producing a tremendous sound that cracked the ground beneath their feet.

The surrounding air seemed unable to withstand the power emanating from the two of them. Explosions erupted intermittently, and, unable to withstand the speed they unleashed, it emitted mournful wails.

As the Raikage activated his Lightning Release chakra to its maximum, Toshiro unleashed his strongest chakra, and the two engaged in a contest of power and speed.

"Hahaha! That's it! This is the kind of fight men should have!"

Feeling his heart pounding and his body screaming for help, Toshiro laughed and launched a roundhouse kick at the Raikage's head.

"Kid, let me show you the Raikage's... terror."

Polishing balls

The Raikage had the speed advantage, while Toshiro was stronger, but neither could gain a decisive advantage. In an instant, the entire battlefield was shattered.

This also ignited the passion of both Toshiro and the Raikage. Neither of them had experienced such a grueling battle in a long time.

Personally, I think the Raikage's techniques are so simple and unadorned that even the author is a bit confused!
