Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 367 Brotherly Love

"It's about time to wrap this up!"

Standing atop Chubeimaru's head, Toshiro looked down at the almost completely naked figure in the lake.

His long-standing question has finally been answered!

"Since that's the case, I've almost reached my limit, so I'll take my leave now, Lord Toshiro!"

After being carried to victory by Toshiro, Chubei Maru felt incredibly comfortable, as if he had reached the pinnacle of what a summoning beast could achieve.

"Yes! Thank you for your hard work this time too!"

Without the other party's assistance, he had no way to deal with the tailed beast's attacks except by activating Sage Mode or using the Mangekyou Sharingan.

The reason why I didn't directly use the Mangekyou Sharingan and Sage Mode is that fighting like that would be utterly unenjoyable.

On another front, he wanted to test the results of his uninterrupted cultivation over the past sixteen years.

From the age of four until now, the daily cultivation that has brought him increased strength has not disappointed him.

Bah!

A gentle breeze blew, and a wisp of white smoke drifted away, leaving only Toshiro's bare-chested figure in the spot.

"Should we just take out the whole thing?"

As he walked into the lake, Toshiro's expression was calm. He stroked the stubble on his chin with one hand and held the longsword in the other.

He was relaxed in attitude and casual in demeanor.

He had a pretty good impression of Killer Bee; after all, a goofy guy who loves rap isn't exactly annoying.

"Lightning-Induced Horizontal Dance"

Before he could figure it out, the Raikage, who hadn't appeared since the Eight-Tails appeared, suddenly appeared behind Toshiro.

They launched another sneak attack on him.

At the same time, he shouted loudly:

"I will absolutely not let you kill Bee!"

From the Raikage's perspective, Toshiro wasn't thinking about whether or not to kill Killer Bee; he was simply figuring out where to strike.

This made it impossible for the Raikage, who had been hiding nearby, to remain concealed any longer. Ignoring his injuries, he launched a sneak attack on Toshiro at the fastest speed he could muster.

"Tch, what a deep brotherhood! Just a bit lacking in skill!"

He curled his lip. The only thing worth praising about the opponent's attack was its speed; in terms of power, it was still quite different from his father's.

"You bastard, don't underestimate the Raikage!"

Seeing Toshiro's disdainful attitude, the already hot-tempered Raikage could hardly stand the provocation.

He bristled again, making his attacks even faster and more powerful.

His hair stood on end again because he used too much force. And that wasn't all; his wound, which had already stopped bleeding, burst open again, and large amounts of blood gushed out as if it were free.

"Since you're so eager to save your brother, then pay with your own life!"

Compared to the likable Killer Bee, the Raikage wasn't so agreeable in his eyes. Besides, this whole mess started because of him, so even if he killed him, it would be his own fault.

brush!brush!brush!

With a few quick dodges, Toshiro dodged the Raikage's sneak attack. Seizing an opening created by the Raikage's haste, Toshiro brandished his longsword and thrust it toward the Raikage's chest.

The target was Ai's heart.

"Oops!"

Realizing he couldn't dodge the attack, the Raikage wasn't afraid of his impending death; he only felt regret for not being able to save Bee.

Once I die, there will be no one here to stop the other side from harming me.

Unfortunately, the two of them were moving too fast when they fought, and he couldn't dodge them even if he wanted to.

"Melting Protective Membrane Wall"

Just as Toshiro's longsword was about to pierce the Raikage's body, a layer of pale yellow, oily film-like substance blocked the Raikage's path.

"Can it be blocked?"

Toshiro had absolute confidence in the chakra sword in his hand. Even though the original manga had blocked the Third Raikage's bloodline limit to some extent, he was confident that he could pierce it with his sword.

呲!

A slight, soft sound.

As expected, the opponent's bloodline limit failed to block his attack.

"Melting Protective Film Jade"

It must be said that Tsuchida, the Cloud Ninja who arrived just in time, truly deserves to be called the strongest support in the Cloud Ninja Village. Upon arriving nearby and seeing that his leader was in danger, he immediately used his family's signature move.

First, he used the protective barrier to buy some time, then without stopping, he created a protective jade-like barrier that resembled a sphere to protect Raikage.

"If it were anyone else, your response might actually have saved the Raikage!"

After praising the suddenly appearing Cloud Ninja, Toshiro didn't stop what he was doing.

"But... this time you've run into me!"

He thrust his longsword forward, his chakra surging, and the length of the sword in his hand increased dramatically.

puff!

A sharp sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out. All Toshiro had to do was pull his longsword horizontally, and the Raikage opposite him would be disemboweled.

"Raikage-sama!"

I had just reached out and grabbed the Raikage's body, preparing to pull him out of the attack range of the earthen platform, when I watched helplessly as a blue-green transparent longsword pierced through the Raikage's body. I was both shocked and furious.

He had seen this kind of ninjutsu from afar and knew that the longsword made of chakra was incredibly sharp. He never imagined that he would actually face it and realize how troublesome the opponent's attack was.

The thought of the other party's next move sent chills down his spine.

"Storm Release: Resilience and Determination"

Just when Tsuchikage thought the Raikage was really doomed, Darui's voice, like heavenly music, entered his ears.

Fortunately... he didn't come to help recklessly alone; he had companions.

shhhhhh!

A laser beam shot out, followed by a blinding white light that entered Toshiro's eyes.

At the same time, a white spot of light shone on his body, guiding a dozen or so Storm Release beams that resembled white streams of water, which shot towards Toshiro in arcs.

That wasn't all. Following these storm escape techniques were numerous shuriken, whistling as they hurtled towards him.

It was Darui, whom they had dealt with before, and another Jonin from the Cloud Ninja.

"This kid actually has some skills!"

"No wonder he was highly valued by the Raikage in the future, and later even became the Fifth Raikage!"

Somewhat unexpectedly, Darui, who retreated directly last time, was able to use such a ninjutsu. It seems that when he chose to retreat last time, he was more assessing the situation and considering that he should pass the information to the Raikage as soon as possible!
