I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 206: Nuclear strike on the way detected!

【Dark Spiral Wheel】is like a pitch-black shooting star streaking across the sky.

It trailed a faint white tail, but in reality, it was moving so fast that it easily tore through the atmosphere.

"More dangerous than that!"

The eight-tailed Gyūki roared inside Killer Bee's body.

With its tailed beast's ability to sense danger, the Eight-Tails Gyūki clearly sensed the intense threat hidden within this seemingly small and exquisite black bullet.

However, the [Dark Spiral Wheel] appeared slow but was actually fast, shooting towards the AB duo from Kumogakure like a beam of light and lightning, giving them no time to react.

"Lightning Release Chakra Mode!"

Sensing the approaching threat, Ai decisively activated the Lightning Release chakra within his body. Blue and white arcs of electricity formed a faint barrier, enveloping his entire body.

Killer Bee gritted his teeth and stepped forward, using his enormous, fully transformed Tailed Beast state to provide A with a "Tailed Beast Barrier".

Eight-tailed Gyuuki: "..."

Rumbling--

The Dark Spiral Wheel of Deception collided with the materialized chakra body of the Eight-Tails, instantly unleashing an incredibly intense white light that almost obscured the blazing sun in the sky.

A thunderous roar that pierced through clouds and split rocks erupted immediately after the blazing light. The violent sound waves transformed into visible pale white shockwaves, spreading in all directions, as if a gale of force eight had been unleashed here.

The flat ground trembled under the bombardment of the Dark Spiral Wheel, and countless broken ravines burst forth from the point of explosion of the Dark Spiral Wheel. Large chunks of mud and rocks were swept away in all directions by the shock wave.

With just one strike, the sun and moon lost their luster, and the world was transformed.

A tremendous gust of wind struck in front of Nara and his two companions.

Minato Namikaze and Kagami Uchiha's robes fluttered wildly in the wind, forcing them to raise their arms to shield themselves from the onslaught of the fierce gusts of wind.

Through the gap between their arms, Minato Namikaze and Kagami Uchiha strained to observe the scene ahead, gaining a deeper understanding of Nara Rin's casual remark.

Is this what they call a "small gift for a first meeting"?

Is this some kind of exaggeration?!

Uchiha Kagami recalled the time when he fought against Nara Ranka.

He originally thought that the towering Black Warrior was already brave enough, but he never expected that Nara Rinka had even deeper and stronger trump cards hidden in his hands!

The Five-Tailed King was also deeply shocked by Nara Rinka's [Dark Spiral Wheel].

The destructive power of this attack is no less than that of the Tailed Beast Ball!

Even a tailed beast would not be in good condition if it were bombarded with this level of attack; it might even suffer serious injuries.

Tailed beasts are immortal, but they are not invincible.

When subjected to attacks far exceeding their limits, even tailed beasts can be injured and die.

Through this [Dark Spiral Wheel] attack, the Five-Tailed King Kokuou gained a deeper understanding of the strength of its contractor.

"The cost of this [Dark Spiral Wheel] is less than I expected."

Nara Rinka narrowed his eyes slightly, surveying the battlefield ahead where the smoke was gradually dissipating, while simultaneously sensing his own condition.

"Perhaps my current limit is one shot... [Great Dark Spiral Wheel of Despair]!"

As the light faded and the dust settled, the battlefield scene was revealed to the Konoha trio.

The massive eight-tailed ghoul's body was covered in wounds, with large patches of blood mixed with black ink flowing out, almost staining the surrounding ground a strange red and black color.

Not far from the Eight-Tailed Gyūki, there was an extremely conspicuous dark red tail that looked like an octopus tentacle—it was the severed tail of the Eight-Tailed Gyūki!

Killer Bee, having exhausted himself, released his full Tailed Beast form at this moment. The massive body of the Eight-Tails Gyūki continued to shrink and become smaller, eventually being absorbed entirely into the Jinchūriki's "Iron Armor Sealing Seal".

"Compare!"

A, whose body was wrapped in blue and white arcs of electricity, quickly stepped forward and stood protectively beside Killer Bee, who was panting and pale, while keeping a vigilant eye on the three people and the tailed beast in the direction of Konoha.

Thanks to the Eight-Tails' body blocking the way, plus the second layer of defense from "Lightning Release Chakra Mode," A suffered almost no damage during the recent [Dark Spiral Wheel Fear], and is currently in relatively good condition.

But glancing at the disheveled Killer Bee out of the corner of his eye, A knew very well that he could not continue to entangle with the three from Konoha.

The dark figure opposite possesses a bizarre method that can cause the tailed beasts within a Jinchuriki to go berserk!

Before Nara and the other two could even speak.

Ai simply hoisted the weakened Killer Bee onto his shoulder, unleashing his well-trained strength, and dashed off in a flash.

It wasn't an escape, it was a tactical retreat.

Seeing the decisive and unwavering stance of the AB duo, Nara Ranka's lips twitched. He gently patted the Five-Tailed King beneath him while simultaneously manipulating the [Shadow Creature] beside him.

"Chase!"

Ai and Kirabi are in front.

Nara Langui and his two companions followed behind.

Both sides quickly adopted a pursuit strategy.

However, just as the Five-Tailed King Kokuou passed by the octopus tentacles that had just scattered on the ground...

Bang!

As a cloud of smoke exploded, the dark red octopus tentacle instantly transformed into Killer Bee's appearance.

Killer Bee instantly drew his uniquely shaped, bee-tail-like rapier from its sheath and, with the aid of his rapid, swift attack, slashed swiftly at the foreleg of the Five-Tails, Kokuou.

A faint silver-white current ran across the slender blade. To increase the power of this strike, Killer Bee deliberately poured his Lightning Release chakra into the blade.

The slender sword sliced ​​through the air, leaving a dazzling afterimage like a crescent moon.

"Cloud Flow - Crescent Moon Slash!"

The Five-Tails, Kokuo, was too large, and Killer Bee's slash speed was too fast. The former was unable to react in time to dodge the latter's slash.

Nara Rinka, who was thinking about whether to take the octopus tail with her, immediately noticed the tail disappearing and began to fall downwards.

Nara Rin, who had landed in mid-air, noticed Killer Bee's attack and raised his right hand to fire a [Spiral Shadow Binding Bullet]!

The black bullet struck Killer Bee's shadow with lightning speed, pausing his attack for a moment.

In that instant, Nara Rinka was able to fall to the ground, holding the Flame Fan and blocking Killer Bee's attack path.

clang!

Killer Bee's rapier struck Nara Rinka's Flame Fan, and the collision between the two weapons produced a crisp sound like metal clashing.

In the instant when the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Nara Rinka's shadow darted forward, directly catching Killer Bee's body, which was right next to him, and using the [Shadow Binding Technique] to directly control the latter, making him unable to move.

"Oh no, this is terrible!"

Killer Bee felt a strong sense of restraint coming from his body and subconsciously complained.

At this time.

Nara Rinka continued to manipulate the shadow tentacles, transforming them into sharp, piercing shadow spikes through the sturdy barrier of the [Flame Fan], aiming to strike Killer Bee, who was restrained in front of her.

【Shadow Stitching Technique】!

Bang!

Nara Rinka's Shadow Strike struck Killer Bee's body with perfect accuracy, yet there was no tactile sensation of it hitting a solid object.

After a slight tremor, Killer Bee's body began to emit a bright and dazzling white light, and sharp electric currents spread across his body, transforming him into a humanoid bolt of lightning.

"Lightning Release: Shadow Clone Technique!"

Sizzle—Boom!

With a sharp crack of lightning, Killer Bee's body exploded, transforming into a shockwave of lightning, using his last chance to blast Nara Rinka, who was standing nearby.

Faced with this desperate counterattack, Nara Rinka simply gripped the Flame Fan in his hand and absorbed all the lightning chakra that struck him.

[Uchiha Rebound]!

Nara Rinka swung the Flame Fan in his hand heavily. The lightning chakra he had just absorbed from the fan was immediately transformed into wind chakra and rushed forward, blowing away the last trace of Killer Bee's lightning clone.

Riding on the back of the [Shadow Creature], Minato Namikaze and Kagami Uchiha were unable to clearly see the attack and counterattack due to the size of the Five-Tails, Kokuou.

Even so, when they saw that the Five-Tailed King had stopped, the two realized that something was wrong.

Nara Rinka waved his Flame Fan and looked around. The octopus tentacle that had been lying quietly on the ground had now disappeared.

"An octopus-like clone technique?"

Nara Rinka leaped back onto the head of the Five-Tailed King and signaled it to continue its pursuit.

When Minato Namikaze and Kagami Uchiha saw that Nara Rin had reappeared, they realized that the situation was not urgent, so they did not ask immediately.

"King Mu, continue the pursuit!"

Nara Rinka patted Go-o's head, signaling it to continue its pursuit.

Despite the sudden incident that has greatly increased the distance between the Konoha people and the Kumogakure AB team,

However, the pursuit speed of the Five-Tailed King Kokuo and the Shadow Creature was still faster than that of A, who was carrying Killer Bee on his shoulder.

Following the location sensed by Minato Namikaze, the Five-Tails Kokuou charged forward at breakneck speed.

The two pursuers rushed directly out of the border of the Land of Fire and into the territory of the Land of Hot Water.

After a period of pursuit, the Konoha members quickly closed the distance with the AB group.

Seeing this, Ai gritted her teeth and began to refine the lightning chakra within her body.

"Hold on a little longer!"

Ai decisively activated his "Lightning Release Chakra Mode," and blue-white electric arcs wrapped around his body.

Killer Bee, being the closest, was the first to be struck by the lightning.

"Chirp chirp chirp—"

If it weren't for the severity of his injuries, Killer Bee would have jumped down and given a live rap performance.

Even so, the cheerful Killer Bee deliberately imitated a sharp scream.

With the aid of "Lightning Release Chakra Mode", A's speed of movement was increased to another level.

The distance that had just been narrowed was gradually widening again.

The five-tailed King Kokuou charged forward.

Nara Rinka gazed into the distance at the scene ahead, where a campsite was faintly visible on the edge of the horizon.

"That's... Konoha's camp?"

"That should have been our previous camp, but it has now been occupied by the Cloud Village."

Minato Namikaze's voice came from above, his tone filled with seriousness.

"Lan Gui, watch out, a big shot is coming!"

Minato Namikaze had barely finished speaking.

A streak of silver shot out from the direction of the original Konoha camp.

In just a few breaths.

This silver thread then revealed his true form—

Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village), the Third Raikage A makes his appearance!

The room window shattered, and it took a long time to clean up. I need to calm down.

Two updates today.

I'll go to bed early tonight and see if I can update tomorrow at noon.
