Yes, the Hokage

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"

The Divine Might Space opened, and a large group of people poured out from it.

Leading the charge was naturally Hashirama Senju. Over his dark red armor, he also donned the Akatsuki's red cloud black robe. Feng Lan was quite pleased with this—a transmigrator who could get the First and Second Hokage to wear Akatsuki robes was an achievement far more impressive than dating Tsunade.

"boom--!"

This powerful punch missed Killer Bee; he dodged backward, rapping as he went, "Your chakra is dangerous, more conspicuous than thunderclouds in the sky~"

Although his tone was relatively relaxed, Killer Bee's body began to surge with crimson chakra, clearly sensing that something was wrong and starting to mobilize the power of the Eight-Tails.

"Wood Release:!"

Hashirama clapped his hands: "The Sea of ​​Flowering Trees has descended!"

The rock wall cracked, and dozens of thick logs emerged from all directions, like hundreds of giant pythons coiling around Kirabi. Vines, branches, and roots spread wildly, instantly filling the space inside the cave, trying to completely envelop the person in the center.

Moreover, at the top of the branches, several dazzling giant flowers bloom, slowly scattering pale golden dust.

"Oh no! Hold your breath! Fight!" A startled voice came from the Eight-Tails' heart. "That's the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju! Don't fight him head-on! Immediately transform into your Tailed Beast form and run towards the village!"

Of the Tailed Beasts, the One-Tailed Beast was captured by Sunagakure itself, so it always harbored the greatest hostility towards Sunagakure. The Nine-Tailed Beast was controlled by Madara, so it hated Madara the most. The other six Tailed Beasts were all captured by Hashirama, and they had an instinctive aversion and fear of the First Hokage.

"Ugh...yo!"

Killer Bee let out a high-pitched roar and immediately entered its Tailed Beast form. Its massive body shook the surrounding wood, causing it to crack inch by inch, and the entire Cloud Thunder Gorge shook violently.

"The Hidden Cloud Village should have noticed by now!" Feng Lan shouted, "Full firepower!"

"Sand Iron Boundary Law—!"

The Third Kazekage made the first move, forming a massive, all-encompassing net of dark matter that enveloped the Eight-Tails. Orochimaru also used his classic Hidden Shadow Snake Hand technique, but the iron sand net and the swarm of snakes were instantly torn apart. The Eight-Tails desperately clawed at its surroundings, trying to break through the hole and escape.

However, after finally tearing the branches above him apart, he discovered that what lay above him was no longer a crumbling rock wall, but a remarkably flexible wall of flesh. Jiraiya once again used the Toad Mouth Binding Technique, dragging everything around him into the esophagus of the Giant Toad.

"Xiao Ba, use your ultimate move!"

"Oh!"

Killer Bee, a decisive man, immediately unleashed his full chakra upon sensing the danger. The eight giant octopus tails of the Eight-Tails abruptly retracted, and his entire body curled into a tight sphere. The immense chakra compressed within him, condensing into a destructive vortex of energy. The air began to twist and swirl, forming an invisible suction force. Once activated, this power would be enough to engulf and tear apart everything around it.

"Tailed Beast Eight..."

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

The Tailed Beast Eight Scrolls require a little time to charge up, and the Wood Dragon Technique also requires some time to charge up for Obito and the incomplete Hashirama. Moreover, because their companions bought them time, the two of them had already completed their charge-up ahead of time.

Two giant dragons emerged from the branches, the smaller one wrapping around the right forelimb of the Eight-Tails and biting the skin of the Gyuki with its wood-style body. The wood-like structure extended tiny roots as if it were alive, piercing into the Gyuki's body and beginning to absorb its chakra.

The wooden dragon from the Hashirama clan was even more exaggerated, spiraling down from the Eight-Tails' left shoulder and coiling around Gyuki's entire chest like a snake. With both exerting their power simultaneously, the Eight-Tails' coiled body was forcibly pulled apart, and the "Tailed Beast Eight Scrolls," which was only half-charged, was forcibly torn apart.

"Damn it, he's draining my chakra..." the Eight-Tails gritted its teeth, for Wood Release is the bane of tailed beasts.

He struggled unsteadily, still trying to get up, but just then...

"Drink up—!"

Tsunade leaped high into the air and slammed her fist, as big as a casserole dish, down hard on the Eight-Tails' head. Even this powerful tailed beast was momentarily stunned and fell to the ground with a thud. Killer Bee, needless to say, was seeing stars.

However, even as he felt dizzy, he couldn't help but mutter, "Breasts, such big breasts..." (This was Killer Bee's reaction when he saw Tsunade in the original work).

"Is this the time to be eyeing someone's breasts?!"

The Eight-Tails was so angry that it laughed. At this moment, not only the Wood Dragon, but also the Flower Tree Sea, under the control of Hashirama and Obito, wrapped around it and tightly bound the Eight-Tails' huge body.

"More and more of our chakra is being drained. These people came prepared. Let's cut off our tails and escape!"

As the Eight-Tails spoke, without waiting for Killer Bee, who was still seeing stars, to reply, it pushed him towards its tail and poured most of its chakra into it.

This is the trick that the Eight-Tails, with its octopus tail, is best at: cutting off its tail to escape. Killer Bee used this trick to cut off its tail and run away after being burned by Sasuke's Amaterasu. Later, even when Madara extracted the Tailed Beast directly from his body, Killer Bee was able to use this trick to leave an octopus tentacle so that it could survive. Keep in mind that even Naruto, the protagonist, was almost killed by this trick, but Killer Bee was unharmed, which shows how abnormal it is.

Unfortunately, he encountered Feng Lan, who was familiar with the plot.

The tail, which concealed its true form, had just touched the ground when Feng Lan, who had been monitoring the battlefield with her senses, pointed sharply: "There it is!"

In an instant, Wood Dragon, Iron Sand, Fire Release, Super Strength... all the techniques rushed towards that octopus leg.

"Damn it! How did that brat know?!"

The Eight-Tails and Killer Bee were both shocked and furious. They could no longer hold back and hastily used a large amount of chakra to launch Killer Bee's body out of the octopus's tentacles, heading straight for the opening that was not yet completely sealed by the fleshy walls.

However, just as he arrived at the cave entrance, he saw several kunai with strange markings hanging there. Before he could think about it, he heard a strong wind rushing past his head.

Just as Hashirama and Obito attacked simultaneously, Tobirama and Fenglan, both of whom relied on their brains in battle, also keenly seized this perfect opportunity to strike. They both flashed above Killer Bee, their swords clashing as they slashed down, shouting in unison:

"Flying Thunder God Slash—!"

Chapter 101 Victory and Escape

The incredibly sharp longswords clashed, slashing a huge "X"-shaped wound into Killer Bee's body.

The Third Kazekage raised a finger: "Iron Sand Rain!"

The jet-black, fine iron sand shot out like bullets, hitting various parts of Killer Bee's body. Although the Third Kazekage was not a puppet at the moment, so the iron sand contained no toxins, it carried a huge magnetic force and began to affect the blood circulation in Killer Bee's body.

The fleshy walls of the giant toad began to spread, devouring and digesting the tailed beast cloak that the Eight-Tails was protecting Killer Bee's body. Two wood dragons, one large and one small, also caught up and tied him up tightly, continuously absorbing his chakra.

"Damn it... Bi! Wake up, this is really bad!"

The demon was still trying to call for his companions, but Orochimaru's venomous snake coiled around him again and bit Killer Bee's neck.

Bound by the Wood Dragon and the Giant Toad of Rocks on his body, and imprisoned by Iron Sand and Snake Venom inside his body, and with his chakra being continuously drained by Wood Release, this perfect Jinchuriki ultimately failed to cause much trouble. He was captured alive before he could even unleash a Tailed Beast Ball.

Killer Bee's defeat was truly unjust. If he and Ya-Tails had been prepared to fight to the death from the beginning, they would never have been captured so easily. Unfortunately, both of them... mainly because Ya-Tails' every move was within Feng Lan's prediction.

From his fear of seeing Hashirama, to his lucky escape by cutting off his tail, and then to deliberately leaving the cave entrance not completely covered by the giant toad, it was all to create the illusion for the Eight-Tails that he could escape.

Since the tailed beast, which is best at escaping, thinks it can get away, it naturally won't stay and fight to the death with them. This is the principle behind the saying "when besieging an enemy, leave an opening."

"Lord Jiraiya, erase all traces of the battle! Lord Hashirama, please keep him under control!"

Feng Lan immediately gave the order: "Retreat before the cave collapses!"

……

Outside Yunlei Gorge, Fenglan and his group didn't have Sasuke's good luck. The moment the cave shook violently, the Hidden Cloud Village immediately realized something was wrong.

"Support has arrived!"

Upon spotting the enemy, the guard on watch immediately raised the alarm.

Pakula silently stepped forward, forming a hand seal in front of him. Several enormous orange-yellow fireballs appeared beside him and exploded violently on both sides of the cliff before the opponent could get close.

"Boom—!"

A violent explosion rang out, and huge rocks crashed down, forming a natural barrier in the canyon.

An angry shout immediately came from behind the rock: "Damn it, it's Scorch Release! The people of Sunagakure are after Lord Killer Bee!"

Upon hearing this, Pakula was immediately startled. Could it be that Fenglan had deliberately arranged for him to blow up the cliff here in order to betray Sunagakure?

Just as she was distracted, a surge of blue and white light suddenly appeared in front of her, and then a large black man appeared out of thin air.

A divine gift!

This is a secret technique passed down through generations in Kumogakure. In short, it's long-distance teleportation. Most of the time, it can only be used to teleport items because ordinary people's bodies simply cannot withstand it. However, the Third Raikage and his son, the Fourth Raikage, who have exceptional physical strength, are exceptions.

Upon hearing that his younger brother Killer Bee had been attacked, the Fourth Raikage was naturally furious and immediately ordered someone to use the Heavenly Delivery Technique to send him into the Cloud Thunder Gorge!

"Suffer to death!"

Once he gets carried away, he doesn't care who's in front of him. He just raises his leg high above his head in the same pose as Tsunade and then slams it down forcefully.

"Righteous Thunder, Shen Nu Thunder Axe—!"

Hizashi wasn't distracted, and the Byakugan's enhanced dynamic vision was a great help, so even though the Raikage's kick was fast and urgent, he still managed to dodge it with a backflip.

Pakula, on the other hand, was in a much worse situation. Although he realized what was happening at the last moment and hurriedly dodged, he was still injured in the calf by the scattered lightning and couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Most importantly, Hizashi dodged by jumping backward and running back, while Pakula dodged by turning to the side and was blocked by the Fourth Raikage, preventing him from rejoining the main force!

"Eee-ya—!"

The Fourth Raikage was in a fit of rage when he saw Pakula's injured leg making it difficult for him to move, so he immediately swung a powerful black elbow at him.

Although Pakula was an elite Jonin, he wasn't particularly skilled in close combat. His opponent was a speed-type Raikage, whose Lightning Armor was incredibly fast. Even if he saw it with his eyes, his body wouldn't have time to react.

[Damn it... Am I going to die here?]

Pakura was filled with despair. As a ninja, she was naturally prepared to die, but not to die on the battlefield for the village, but to die here. Especially since her body would make Kumogakure think that Sunagakure had attacked their Jinchuriki, which was something she could not accept no matter what.

But faced with the massive black elbow flashing with lightning, she had no power to resist and seemed to have no choice but to close her eyes and wait for death.

However, at this very moment...

"Shh-!"

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Pakura and the Raikage, forcefully slamming down a spinning ball in his hand.

With Feng Lan's strength, even if he used Rasengan to fight the Raikage, he would definitely not be able to beat him. The Raikage is a standard Kage-level monster with high stats. What makes you, a ranged turret who is not good at fighting, think you can compete with his beams?

Feng Lan declared that this was no ordinary Rasengan, but Wind Release: Rasengan!

The Rasengan is already the ultimate form of transformation, but it can still be improved further by injecting elemental chakra to perform a nature transformation.

This Wind Release: Rasengan is a new technique that Naruto created by infusing wind-style chakra into the Rasengan after learning the secrets of wind-style nature transformation from Asuma and through his own arduous training. It has higher attack power than the Rasengan and has cutting ability when attacking. It is the prototype of Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.

The trick to using this move is to use two clones to assist, one to maintain the shape change and the other to inject the nature change. Feng Lan can make the pill with one hand, so he can use only one clone to assist in performing this move.

Of course, his move was only in its initial form, so despite the fact that wind counters lightning, the ball failed to penetrate the lightning armor. Instead, it was shattered by the Raikage's elbow, causing his entire palm to bleed profusely.

But the brief obstruction from Feng Kelei was enough. Feng Lan grabbed Pakula's waist and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique once more.

The Fourth Raikage roared and tried to give chase, but Pakula, who was also a veteran of many battles, had already thrown a flashbang.

"Om-!"

A blinding flash of light burst across the night sky, so bright that even Lei Ying couldn't help but be momentarily stunned. When his vision returned, the area in front of him was completely empty.

"This is?!" The Fourth Raikage's expression instantly turned ferocious. "Flying Thunder God Technique?!"

On the other side, Hizashi had already run away as soon as he saw the Raikage appear, showing great loyalty. He wasn't familiar with Pakura and had no interest in staying to die on the same day, month, and year as this ninja from another village.

Therefore, when Fenglan used Flying Thunder God Technique to bring Pakula back to the cave, Richa arrived just in time.

"go!"

Tobirama pressed him down, and with the physical contact between Fenglan, Pakura, and Hizashi, he activated Flying Thunder God once again.

He was the creator of the Flying Thunder God Technique, and his proficiency was far beyond that of someone like Feng Lan who had only recently acquired the skill. Moreover, in his Edo Tensei state, he possessed unlimited chakra. In the blink of an eye, everyone found themselves outside the Cloud Thunder Gorge.

"Get in the car quickly!"

Everyone was immediately sucked into the Kamui dimension by Obito, and then the kid used all his strength to head straight for the border of the Land of Lightning...

"hiss--!"

Once inside the Divine Might Space, Feng Lan finally relaxed, feeling a sharp, needle-like pain in her right hand.

"Lord Fenglan!"

Pakula exclaimed in surprise, his face full of worry.

"It's alright." Feng Lan first took out water to rinse, and said, "My Flying Thunder God technique has been exposed. Even if the Fourth Raikage suspects Sunagakure, he will cause trouble for Konoha first."

"Thank you, thank you..." Pakula was grateful but also filled with guilt. If he hadn't been distracted and almost been killed by the Fourth Raikage, Feng Lan wouldn't have been exposed.

"Hmph, you're too soft-hearted!" Tobirama scoffed, ignoring Pakura's presence. "Wouldn't it be better to let her die there and turn the blame to Sunagakure?"

Pakura's body stiffened slightly. She could feel Tobirama's gaze upon her, as cold as a knife. And she had no way to refute it; as a ninja, to be distracted during a mission—she deserved to die.

Feng Lan didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Pakula before speaking: "That red cloud robe wasn't worn for nothing. According to my plan, not only can we solve the war problem in Kumogakure, but we can also completely take over Amegakure. As for Sunagakure... they are still innocent, so let's not involve them."

He has a grand plan for Sunagakure. If he betrays them now, it will lower Rasa's trust in him. He also wants to protect Pakula, as they will be useful in the future.

Pakura lowered her head. She knew that Fenglan's words were directed at Tobirama, but she also knew that the other party was speaking well of her.

Tobirama's gaze shifted away from her, and the oppressive feeling lessened. She pursed her lips, still standing there with her head down.

"Humph."

Although Tobirama was very unhappy, he knew that Fenglan must have saved Pakura because the man was still useful, so he stopped pursuing the matter: "Tsunade, treat him."

"I, I..." Tsunade, contrary to her boldness during the battle, appeared very nervous and embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Both the first and second generations noticed her unnatural state and frowned slightly.
