Konoha: Who's the good guy?

Yamanaka Kei frowned as he recalled the results of activating his wide-range perception when he fought against the earthen platform.

At that time, the Third Raikage and his son were the first to head towards the Tsuchidai mansion.

Killer Bee's movements were only slightly slower than the two of them.

Several other Cloud Village experts, upon hearing the commotion of the battle, moved towards the Tsuchida Mansion.

The key point is that he didn't find any particularly strong individuals around Killer Bee.

Or rather, there are no assassins who can pose a threat to Killer Bee.

Then this...

The jinchūriki went berserk?

Why?

Yamanaka Kei was quite certain that he had no memory of Killer Bee becoming a Jinchūriki and the Eight-Tails Gyūki going berserk.

In the original story, during the Third Shinobi World War, Killer Bee was already able to effectively utilize the power of the Eight-Tails, working in conjunction with the future Fourth Raikage to fight against Minato Namikaze.

To achieve this, you must first adapt your body to the power of the tailed beast.

Then, they will win the battle against the Tailed Beasts and finally reconcile with them.

These things cannot be accomplished overnight.

Even Naruto, the protagonist destined for greatness, spent three years training with Jiraiya before he could even begin to adapt to the power of the Nine-Tails' four tails.

Even though the Eight-Tails isn't as strong as the Nine-Tails, its power is still not to be underestimated.

Based on this calculation...

During this period, Killer Bee should have at least begun to adapt his body to the power of the Eight-Tails and had some initial communication with it.

If that's the case, why did it suddenly go berserk?

Was he betrayed just like the previous Jinchūriki, Hūru?

"What exactly happened?"

The Third Raikage's face was somber, his arms crossed over his chest. His imposing presence, though not angry, made many of the surrounding ninjas tremble.

"Boss, Killer Bee showed no signs of anything unusual before tonight. He was even preparing to support Tsuchida-senpai, but for some reason, he twisted his ankle as soon as he went out, and when he jumped towards the roof, he hit his head on the eaves..."

The ANBU member responsible for guarding Killer Bee answered the Third Rai's questions with trepidation.

Speaking of what happened tonight.

The expression on his face beneath the mask was as bizarre as it could be.

Not to mention spraining his ankle when he goes out, he also considers it a sequela of spraining his ankle if he tries to jump onto the roof and run away but ends up hitting his head on the eaves.

But after landing, he stumbled and fell into the stinking ditch.

Before he could even get up, a large brick fell from the roof he had just smashed through, slamming him into the stinking ditch and giving him a mouthful of filth...

In less than three minutes.

Things that would normally happen once and become a topic of conversation for a long time happened continuously without interruption.

The final result is...

The Eight-Tails went berserk.

After all that fuss, just as the Third Raikage and the others arrived and the Jinchuriki was about to lose consciousness, the Eight-Tails inexplicably shrank back.

"..."

The Third Raikage, Ai, glared angrily at the Anbu member standing to the side.

Is this guy kidding me?

How can someone be this unlucky?

Moreover, he inexplicably started going berserk, and then inexplicably stopped after he arrived at the scene. Is this reasonable?

Could it be that the Eight-Tails is afraid of being beaten by him?

is it possible?

That guy is a real stubborn bastard.

Even when she fought him to the point of exhaustion and was eventually sealed away, she never uttered a single word of weakness.

"I think I understand..."

Yamanaka Kei pricked up his ears, listening to the faint conversation between the Third Raikage and his subordinates in the crater, and quietly turned off the effect of the black affix [Ominous Conflict].

Ominous Conflict (Black): When the host actively activates the entry, within the perception range, if someone issues a 1V1 invitation, the other party will inevitably accept the challenge. All fate-related entry effects of both sides will disappear, and the state of being plagued by bad luck and misfortune will be triggered, greatly increasing the probability of making mistakes, getting sick, misfortune, accidents, etc., as well as greatly increasing the probability of injury and death.

The effects of this ominous conflict have been ongoing throughout this period.

He has never invited anyone to a 1v1 duel, and no one has ever said such a thing to him.

Fearing exposure of his identity, he never dared to use wide-range sensory ninjutsu.

Who would have thought...

Tsk~

Kirabi actually won the lottery!

This guy was probably just casually talking to the Eight-Tails inside him while preparing to support Tsuchikage.

result......

tragedy.

"call......"

The Third Rai's face was extremely dark, and he barely managed to suppress his rage.

He glanced at Tsuchida, who was being carried on a stretcher and followed by more than a dozen barefoot ninjas, and asked in a deep voice.

"Any results?"

"No, the enemy has most likely already withdrawn."

"Your suspect."

"At first I thought it was Konoha, after all, both my stance and the other party's swordsmanship and ninjutsu seemed to fit the characteristics of Konoha ninjas, but it wasn't Konoha."

"Speak your mind."

The Third Raikage frowned slightly as he watched Tsuchikage still keeping him in suspense.

If this guy hadn't just been attacked and hadn't sustained some irreversible injuries, he would have definitely lost his temper on the spot.

What time is it? Can't you just speak more directly?

"Ahem... My home's protective barrier is divided into a surface barrier and an underground barrier. There aren't many ways to breach the barrier without triggering an alarm."

"Just now, the Anbu ninja also detected traces of chakra from the Water Transformation Technique that had not completely dissipated at the broken water pipe underground."

"Currently, the undercover team is following the trail to trace the source."

Seeing that his boss was getting impatient, Tutai quickly revealed all the known information.

"...Kigakure?"

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Third Raikage, A, as the suppressed, powerful Lightning Release chakra within his body surged.

Including last night's incident with Redeemer, that makes a total of ten assassinations!

Apart from Tsuchida, who was stronger and survived the premeditated assassination, everyone else perished.

Without Tsuchikage's confession, based on the mixed traces of Water Release, Fire Release, Earth Release, and Wind Release at various locations, his first suspicion would naturally be against Konoha.

But now, the most crucial evidence points directly to Kirigakure, a place he had previously never taken seriously!

The traces and evidence that were made public seemed to be deliberately concealed.

Killer Bee's inexplicable encounter also reminded him of Brupi's sudden berserk rage.

There is no memory of it, no reason can be found, and even in retrospect, no clues can be found.

Fog Conceals!

very good!very good!

Back then, the incident with Brubi was also something you guys secretly orchestrated, wasn't it?

Faced with repeated provocations.

The Third Raikage, A, was filled with boundless rage.

Such a large-scale assassination operation was something their Hidden Cloud Village hadn't experienced in many years.

"Since Kirigakure wants war, then let's fight!"

Lei Ying Ai swept his gaze over the surrounding high-ranking officials, who were already somewhat agitated, and coldly conveyed his will to everyone.

In his view, everything is now clear.

Kirigakure cannot admit to what they have done, and the inquiry they sent out yesterday will not yield the answer they want.

Since that's the case, let's use our fists to show Kirigakure the consequences of provoking them!

[Ding~ The S-rank job quest "Change the strategic objectives of the Cloud Hidden Sect and instigate war in another country" has been completed. Rewards: 2 chances to draw an affix, 1 chance to grant an affix, and 1 chance to upgrade a random white affix.]

The familiar system notification sound came through.

Yamanaka Kei watched the Cloud Village ninja respond with a thunderous roar from afar, secretly marveling at their performance.

The system deemed the task completed simply by making a statement.

The prestige of the Third Raikage must be the highest among all Raikages!

and......

This wave of mist cloaking is going to be devastating!

With so many huge pots going over there, I don't know if they can withstand it!

Mist Shadow: I'm so damn wronged!
