Chapter 22: This Is The Gift Of Farewell
If it were ordinary elite jonin, even if there were a few more, it might not necessarily force the Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning, one of the Five Great Nations, into a bitter battle.
But the strength of this mysterious masked man who appeared this time far surpassed ordinary elite jonin, and his abilities were even more bizarre and unpredictable.
Just floating in the air for combat alone would overpower 99% of ninjas. That is, the Cloud Village is located at the peak of a mountain range, and Cloud Village ninjas can use the Raiden Building and nearby peaks to leap into the air to launch attacks.
Ordinary ninjas probably couldn’t even get close.
Moreover, that mysterious person wielding a scythe could absorb chakra. Once hit by his scythe or the ‘wind blades’ he swings, the chakra would be instantly drained, resulting in death or severe injury!
In the initial clash, under the command of Darui, Xi, and Mabui, the Cloud Village ninjas paid the price of two jonin and twelve chunin casualties to force the two floating enemies into one spot.
However, when these two masked men formed a back-to-back coordination, they became even more difficult to deal with.
Darui and Xi led several elite jonin, attempting to launch attacks from multiple directions, but all were neutralized, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate for the moment.
It must be known that in any ninja village, jonin are the absolute top combat power. Even in Konohagakure at its peak, the number of jonin would not exceed
Like the current Konoha, there are only about thirty registered jonin, and the proportion of special jonin specialized in one field is about the same.
The Uchiha Clan is renowned as the ‘number one prestigious family in the ninja world’ precisely because this family has long maintained more than ten jonin-level combat power.
Once awakening the three-tomoe Sharingan, without exception, they are all elite jonin-level strong practitioners!
However, now, a scene that the Fourth Raiden would never forget in his life appeared in the core area of the Cloud Village.
Beneath the Raiden Building, which had half collapsed from the explosion, as the smoke gradually dispersed, the two masked men floated in mid-air, back-to-back facing ten times their number of Cloud Village elites, yet not falling behind in the slightest!
This was no longer an ordinary strong practitioner!
Facing Raiden’s call, Mabui handed over command of this battlefield to the newly arrived Samui.
She was a blonde big sister, about the same age as Mabui, calm in handling affairs, knowledgeable, and also one of Killer Bee’s sword technique disciples.
“Lord Raiden!” Mabui quickly arrived at Raiden’s side.
“The communications squad has called for support! Lady Yugito Nii will arrive soon!”
The Cloud Village has two jinchūriki, and both are perfect jinchūriki. Once Yugito Nii and more Cloud Village ninjas arrive on the battlefield, the tide of battle will surely turn!
“Bee! Use tailed beast transformation!” Raiden immediately made a tactical arrangement, low roaring to Mabui: “Prepare to transfer Bee and me to Cloud-Thunder Gorge!”
After receiving his big brother’s command, Killer Bee directly utilized the Eight-Tails’ chakra. A surge of blood-red tailed beast chakra attached to Killer Bee’s body surface, extending eight red tails that danced ferociously.
The tailed beast chakra cloak greatly enhanced Killer Bee’s abilities in all aspects. He raised his blade and charged forward again to clash with the mysterious masked man.
The Lightning Release chakra leaping around Fourth Raiden tore through the air, transforming into a bolt of lightning that assaulted the mysterious masked man from another direction.
“Absolute Bull Thunder Plow Hot Knife!” The two gathered massive chakra in their elbows, aiming to strangle the enemy’s neck!
However, just as the ‘Absolute Bull Thunder Plow Hot Knife’ was about to contact the mysterious masked man.
Boom——!
A violent dark red chakra surged from the mysterious masked man, instantly covering his body to form a chakra cloak, forcibly blocking the attack!
Bang!
Killer Bee’s tailed beast cloak and Fourth Raiden’s Lightning Release chakra were abruptly halted less than ten centimeters from the mysterious masked man’s neck, producing an intense collision sound.
“Fool~ what’s going on~!” Killer Bee’s rap carried astonishment. He understood the warning from the Eight-Tails Gyūki earlier—this guy was off.
The mysterious masked man’s chakra cloak was exactly like his own tailed beast chakra cloak. That violent, dark chakra was even more intense than the Eight-Tails Gyūki’s!
“Mabui!” Fourth Raiden shouted!
Not far away, Mabui’s expression was grave as her hands began rapidly forming hand seals: “Heavenly Transfer Technique!”
A tearing sensation instantly enveloped the battling Fourth Raiden, Killer Bee, and mysterious masked man.
“I see.” Feeling the tearing sensation throughout his body and the vibration of space, Menma couldn’t help but gain newfound respect for Mabui.
“Then, this is a gift for you.” Just before being teleported away, Menma condensed a dark purple energy orb in his right hand, with raging dark chakra inside wrapped in external Wind Release chakra.
In the instant Menma and the AB combo disappeared, the ‘Great Spiraling Ring’ slowly landed.
——————
Cloud-Thunder Gorge.
The AB combo and Uzumaki Menma were teleported here.
The moment he landed, Killer Bee activated full tailed beast transformation, and the Eight-Tails Gyūki’s massive body rose from the ground.
“Yo~ Gyūki~ check this guy~ which tailed beast’s chakra is it~” Killer Bee communicated with the Eight-Tails Gyūki in his heart.
At this moment, the Eight-Tails Gyūki in Killer Bee’s spirit world had fallen into confusion and bewilderment.
This familiar chakra was filled with negative emotions like darkness and violence, very much like the Nine-Tails, yet so strange.
So strange that the Eight-Tails Gyūki fell into chaos.
“Yes… yes, no… no, uh… yes?” The Eight-Tails Gyūki had deeply fallen into self-doubt.
“Bee! Release fully!” Fourth Raiden also activated his strongest Lightning Release armor at full power, his body covered in massive lightning, his hair standing on end.
Just as the two prepared to attack, they saw the mysterious masked man float up, standing in mid-air, gazing remotely toward the Cloud Village.
“Let’s watch together.” Uzumaki Menma’s low voice emanated from the mask.
Raiden and Killer Bee were still somewhat puzzled.
The distant Cloud Village, shrouded in a mass of black clouds, suddenly emitted a burst of light.
Raiden and Killer Bee shockingly looked over, only to see a massive mushroom cloud rising from the Cloud Village’s direction, the blinding light tearing apart the black clouds above the Cloud Village.
After half a minute, the explosion’s roar swept across Cloud-Thunder Gorge.
“You bastard! What did you do!” Raiden’s eyes bulged with rage. He leaped high, condensing high-intensity Lightning Release chakra current in his hand blade, slashing down fiercely!
“Raikage’s Chopping Dance!”
The hand blade wrapped in Lightning Release chakra struck Menma’s tailed beast chakra cloak, yet couldn’t shake it in the slightest.
“I’ve had enough fun.” Menma chuckled softly, flying higher and higher.
“Bee!” Raiden roared in fury.
The tailed beast transformed Killer Bee planted his two front limbs on the ground, raised his head, and opened his huge mouth.
A pitch-black tailed beast bomb rapidly condensed in his mouth.
Looking at this formed tailed beast bomb, Menma condensed another dark purple orb in his right hand.
“This is the farewell gift.”
The Great Spiraling Ring was casually tossed out by Menma.
The dark purple orb lightly fell, colliding head-on with the whistling upward-rising tailed beast bomb—
Boom!!
It instantly erupted with terrifying energy, devouring the entire Cloud-Thunder Gorge!
