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

Chapter 236 Third Raikage, have you betrayed us?

"That ninjutsu! Spiral! Compression! Maintenance!"

Killer Bee stared wide-eyed in astonishment at A, who had been sent flying by a single blow from the yellow flash.

"It's exactly the same as a Tailed Beast Ball! You idiot! You bastard—yo, big brother!"

Before the yellow flash could immediately launch a teleportation attack, Killer Bee unleashed his Tailed Beast Chakra, donning a dark red "Tailed Beast Cloak" that greatly enhanced his basic abilities.

With a swift movement, Killer Bee leaped to Ai's side and subtly protected him with his octopus tail.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that under Minato Namikaze's Rasengan, A's clothes on his chest and abdomen were completely torn and ripped apart, revealing a huge, bloody wound on his abdomen, which looked quite horrifying.

"I--"

Ai Gang was about to say something when he suddenly coughed heavily, and bright red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth and slid down.

"Cough! It's nothing!"

Lightning Release chakra surrounded A's body, constantly activating his own cells.

Guided by A's will, Lightning Release chakra continuously converged and flowed towards the location of his abdominal wound.

With sufficient chakra, wisps of smoke drifted out from Ai's abdominal wound, and the surrounding flesh and blood gradually returned to normal.

"Big brother!"

Kirabi was very excited about Ai's rapid self-healing.

On the other side, Minato Namikaze's brows furrowed slightly.

The attack power of the Rasengan almost perfectly achieved its intended effect.

However, it must be admitted that A's defensive capabilities cannot be directly broken by the initial stage of the Rasengan.

If the one who was just attacked by the Rasengan was not in "Lightning Release Chakra Mode"...

Even if it were Killer Bee next to him—

That won't work; Killer Bee also has the protection of the "Tailed Beast Cloak"—

If it were any other ninja, they wouldn't necessarily be able to "kill the opponent with one blow," but they would definitely be able to "incapacitate the opponent with one blow."

"It seems that to deal with the AB combination, we still need to continue exploring the nature transformation of the Rasengan, and add Wind Release chakra to create a Gale Rasengan..."

Minato Namikaze gripped the Flying Thunder God kunai tightly in his hand, while silently refining his chakra.

"I've already left the Flying Thunder God Technique mark on A's body and hidden it in other parts of his body, but Killer Bee is still watching over him..."

"Now is not the best time to expose the Flying Thunder God Technique mark on A. He still has that lightning armor protecting him. I need to continue looking for an opportunity..."

"Once a viable opportunity is found, kill Ai immediately!"

Although he was a rather favorable enemy, Minato Namikaze wouldn't hold back in such matters.

Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to the village!

"Big brother!"

Killer Bee stood beside Ai, his eyes warily fixed on the direction of the yellow flash.

"That ninjutsu just now! It looked a lot like a Tailed Beast Ball! The Black Shadow Meteor! It also looked a lot like a Tailed Beast Ball! Be careful!"

"I know this without you telling me!"

Ai said fiercely, adding that he still hadn't discovered the Flying Thunder God mark imprinted on his body.

"Yellow Flash, I never expected you to develop such a new ninjutsu!"

"It was just a coincidence."

Minato Namikaze calmly and steadily looked at Ai with his deep blue eyes, preparing to attack.

"Hey, Killer Bee, even though you're my enemy, I won't show you any mercy."

"You talk as if you can kill me anytime!"

Ai stared at Minato Namikaze, trying to muster his courage.

"My partnership with Bee is unbeatable!"

Lightning Release Chakra Mode!

Enveloped in lightning chakra, A's short golden hair stood on end, and a wild, prehistoric aura emanated from him, enough to send chills down the spines of ordinary people.

"This is Big Brother's strongest form!"

Dark red chakra appeared on Killer Bee's body, like an outer garment covering him.

"Then I'll also enter Tailed Beast form! Baka yarou!"

Despite being outnumbered two to one.

But Minato Namikaze's expression remained unchanged.

He held the Flying Thunder God Kunai horizontally in front of him, focusing intently on the AB combination ahead, waiting for Ai to attack again.

No reminders are needed.

Having entered what Killer Bee called his "strongest state," A decisively accelerated his attack and charged towards the yellow flash once again.

Minato Namikaze narrowed his eyes slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught Killer Bee launching an attack at almost the same time, his figure instantly disappearing from the spot.

Seeing that the yellow flash had once again easily dodged his fastest attack, Ai gritted his teeth, but immediately shifted his gaze, trying to find the "landing point" of the yellow flash.

The yellow flash must be near the kunai!

Killer Bee, who was slightly behind, spotted the yellow flash first.

From afar, Minato Namikaze stood amidst a pile of scattered Flying Thunder God kunai, the moon, which had risen at some unknown time, shining upon him.

"Big brother! Over here!"

Killer Bee called out to Ai as he dashed toward the yellow flash.

"Watch me this time!"

……

The battle between Yellow Flash and the AB combination is becoming increasingly fierce.

It can be on the other side.

The battle between Nara Rinka and Nara Raikage is gradually moving away from this battlefield.

Lead the dark shadow to the agreed area.

This is the second part of the plan agreed upon by Nara Raikage and the One-Eyed Uchiha and others.

Judging from the course of the battle, Nara Raikage changed his previous aggressive fighting style and instead used his rectangular, thick-backed sword to entangle the dark shadow.

One after another, the Cloud Flow Sword Techniques were revealed in the hands of Nara Raikage, from their initial awkwardness to their later refinement.

Finally, when Nara Raikage used the Cloud Flow Sword Technique, the fluidity was as smooth as flowing water.

However, without the support of "Lightning Release Chakra Mode", Nara Raikage's attack power is far less violent than before.

He fought and retreated, seemingly carelessly, but in reality, he deliberately led Nara Ranka into a pre-arranged trap area.

And after arriving at the agreed location.

Without hesitation, Nara Raikage activated "Lightning Release Chakra Mode," and leaped high into the air towards Nara Rinka, carrying his rectangular, thick-backed sword.

His hands gripped the hilt of the rectangular, thick-backed sword firmly, raising this specially made weapon high above his head. Dark lightning covered the surface of the ninja sword, adding to its power.

Righteous Thunder Sinks into Wrathful Thunder—The Blade!

The signature downward kick ninjutsu of Kumogakure was transformed into a simple and unadorned "Mount Hua Chopping" in the hands of the Raikage Nara.

Nara Rinka pretended not to notice anything unusual and raised his Flame Fan to block Nara Raikage's slash.

clang--

The crisp sound of the collision spread in all directions.

Nara Rinka's hands, gripping the Flame Fan, did not tremble in the slightest.

However, his legs, which were standing on the ground, were deeply embedded in the earth by Nara Raikage's heavy strike.

Boom—Crack—

Deep ravines spread rapidly in all directions from the central position of Nara Rinka.

The next moment, with a deafening roar, the entire earth shattered, revealing a dark, deep crater.

Nara Rinka and Nara Raikage fell downwards at the same time.

Just then, the enemy, who had been preparing for a long time, seized the opportunity and made a decisive move.

"Molten Release: Lime Condensation Technique!"

A deep, heavy sound came from the surrounding shadows, followed by a mass of dark gray cement slurry covering the newly revealed pit opening.

The trap ninjutsu, prepared in advance, quickly laid out an incredibly thick concrete wall on the ground, completely filling the "ceiling" of the hole that had just been exposed.

The area above was completely covered by "Molten Release: Lime Condensation Technique," leaving the area below in absolute darkness.

"Is this the trap you prepared in advance?"

Nara Rinka, shrouded in darkness, held the Flame Fan in his hand, his Lacquer Eye technique silently activated, peering into the pit.

This is a very spacious underground cavern, with stone pillars of all shapes and sizes growing in every corner, and the sound of rushing water can be heard constantly.

The land of hot springs is rich in hot springs and groundwater resources.

This underground cavern was the trap that the One-Eyed Uchiha had carefully found.

To maximize the advantage of this trap, the One-Eyed Uchiha also arranged for two ninjas to ambush the Dark Shadow who had lost his Shadow Technique.

At least under the control of Nara Rinka and Nara Raikage, they are two ninjas.

Nara Rinka's indifferent voice echoed through the dark cave, but the only response he received was a single sentence—

"Lava Release: Rock Stream Technique!"

As if driven by some unseen force, the limestone scattered throughout the cave flowed like a river toward the location of Nara Rangsei.

At the same time, another cold and cruel voice rang out.

"Water Release: Water Gun Technique!"

A figure suddenly emerged from the underground river surrounding the cave.

The ninja's lower body seemed to merge perfectly with the river water, while his raised fingertips condensed into a ball of water bullets, which swept across the dark shadow.

"The Lava Release ninjas of Iwagakure and the Hozuki clan of Kirigakure."

Nara Rinka held the Flame Fan in front of him to block the incoming Water Gun Technique, while simultaneously floating in mid-air to avoid the surging limestone flow on the ground.

Is anyone else here?

Having concealed themselves in the darkness and adapted to the environment, Hozuki Zangetsu and Ishikawa watched in utter astonishment as the dark shadow took flight.

"Why can you fly?"

Hozuki Zangetsu, the head of the Anbu of Kirigakure, stared in shock at the direction of the dark figure.

"You shouldn't be able to use Shadow Magic here!"

"Perhaps the other party has mastered some other means."

"Ishikawa, the captain of the Lava Release squad in Iwagakure, reminded us calmly."

"Don't be careless; after all, the opponent is the Shadow of Darkness."

"The Third Mizukage and the Third Tsuchikage said they would send two people over."

Nara Raikage stood between the Hidden Mist ninja and the Hidden Stone ninja, speaking with a slightly odd air.

"I thought they would have some other plans, but it really is just the two of you..."

"Three generations—"

Hozuki Zangetsu was about to say something when he suddenly saw the Third Raikage walk past Ishikawa and then stick half of his hand into the underground river.

An ominous premonition rose in Ghost Lamp Crescent Moon's heart.

"Third Generation Thunder—"

[Lightning Release: Black Lightning]!

Second update.

I'm late again...

Goodnight everyone...
