Chapter 241: Hell Thrust Four Hands Piercing
The Anbu guards squad on the mountain slope instantly became tense.
They heard the terrifying beast roar; that was the Eight-Tails’ voice!
“Bad news! The Eight-Tails has gone berserk!”
The Cloud Village Anbu squad hurriedly rushed toward the mountaintop.
They rushed a few steps and quickly came to a halt.
A person wearing a hooded robe and a fox mask slowly emerged from the steps leading up the mountain.
“Your opponent is me. Do not disturb Lord Orochimaru; Lord Orochimaru will be displeased.”
The Cloud Ninja squad leader was stunned: “You directly named the culprit? Are you framing or provoking?”
His first reaction was that there was a conspiracy here!
The enemy boldly announced the name; it must be fake, meant to mislead.
Yoru thought to himself that Orochimaru had come this time precisely because his limelight had been overshadowed by Sakumo Hatake, to settle the score.
Since Sakumo Hatake could slash a Tailed Beast Ball with a sword, Orochimaru had to do something even more exaggerated.
Orochimaru naturally wanted to make it known to everyone; if not careful, a massive summoning snake might even appear.
The Cloud Village was in for trouble.
Suddenly, vibrations came from the mountaintop. Yoru turned his head to look up and sure enough saw Ryūchi Cave’s Manda.
Manda smashed the mountaintop buildings and cave, and the Eight-Tails charged out.
“Lord Orochimaru’s summoning beast…”
Seeing the two giant beasts, the Cloud Ninja squad leader finally believed that Konoha’s Orochimaru had truly come.
The squad leader shouted: “Get lost! Don’t block the way! Kill him!”
Two Anbu squads flanked from both sides, charging toward Yoru in a pincer formation.
Yoru formed a seal.
Water Style: Water Severing Wave!
The Cloud Ninja squad leader was terrified; such fast ninjutsu!
A water line instantly sliced horizontally, cutting from the left squad to the right squad.
The two squads of 8 people were all killed without exception, all severed at the waist.
The most correct chakra circulation method, combined with the mouth-simulated gear pump’s dual vortex launch method, elevated this technique’s speed and power to another level.
Yoru reminded himself inwardly that this was the main account Fox, not the sub-account Shiroki.
The main account’s abilities were Earth Release, Water Style, and sealing jutsu.
He must not mix them up, or the sub-account would be exposed.
The main account could not see the light of day; the sub-account even less so.
“Copper Fox! That mask is Konoha Copper Fox!”
The Anbu squad leader finally remembered that Konoha had a powerful Anbu ninja named Copper Fox, with formidable strength.
Copper Fox excelled in absolute defense secret jutsu and offensive Water Style.
This Water Style was the Second Hokage’s signature Water Style, passed down only in Konoha.
The squad leader shouted: “Use ninjutsu! Don’t get close! He has absolute defense secret jutsu!”
Yoru thought to himself, using ninjutsu is good; to be honest with you, I’m quite skilled in ninjutsu right now.
Lightning spread across the ground like a spider web, lightning bolts stabbing toward Yoru like flashes of electricity.
Yoru glanced at the lightning on the ground, knowing there was no chance to use Earth Release: Earth Spear, and focused on using Water Style: Water Severing Wave.
He leaped into mid-air, dodging the lightning net on the ground.
Water lines rushed toward the Cloud Ninjas, each sweep severing several at the waist.
Just a few seconds later, when Yoru landed, the entire squad of Cloud Ninja Anbu was left with only the squad leader.
Yoru grinned under his mask.
A bit numb.
The Water Severing Wave occasionally hit the Lightning Release, and the Lightning Release traveled along the Water Severing Wave to numb Yoru’s mouth.
At that moment, a boulder over ten meters wide smashed down from the mountain.
The battle between the Eight-Tails and Manda on the mountaintop had affected this area.
The Eight-Tails had fully emerged, the giant beast with an ox head and octopus tails.
Under Manda’s stimulation, the Eight-Tails was already condensing a Tailed Beast Ball in its mouth.
That Tailed Beast Ball was not the human-form Tailed Beast Cloak mode’s head-sized Tailed Beast Ball at most; it was the full-body Eight-Tails’ Tailed Beast Ball!
The Eight-Tails had completely gone berserk.
Realizing ninjutsu was no match, this Cloud Ninja squad leader desperately launched an attack, using sword technique.
The ninja sword slashed onto the fox Anbu’s shoulder, producing a crisp metallic clash.
Yoru raised his hand and grabbed the blade.
“This sword is not bad; it didn’t even chip.”
Yoru delivered a flying kick, sending the Cloud Ninja squad leader flying.
His foot was covered in bronze light; this kick directly shattered the Cloud Ninja squad leader’s chest bones.
The Cloud Ninja squad leader’s body had just dodged away when Yoru saw a brilliant blue light!
With the whistling of lightning, like a falling meteor, it rapidly charged toward here!
Third Raikage!
“Hell Stab: Four-Fingered Thrust!”
Yoru’s scalp went numb.
Semi-absolute defense: Ring Snake instantly appeared.
A ring snake as thick as an arm, filled inside with condensed Water Release chakra.
Yoru channeled all his chakra, making the Water Release chakra inside the ring snake rotate at high speed.
The Four-Fingered Thrust collided with the ring snake!
The Third Raikage’s expression changed, with a hint of disbelief.
His fingers felt powerful resistance.
The condensed Water Release chakra instantly turned into a surging water flow, blocking the Third Raikage’s impact.
The ring snake hovered outside Yoru’s body, also isolating the Lightning Release’s numbing effect.
Half a second later, the Four-Fingered Thrust still pierced through the ring snake.
In the surging water waves, the Third Raikage’s speed rapidly decreased.
When his Four-Fingered Thrust struck the enemy’s chest, the force had already greatly diminished.
Yoru poured all his body’s chakra into the ring snake and bronze light; his body flew backward.
In mid-air, Yoru first felt the soreness and exhaustion from excessive chakra extraction throughout his body, and cracks appeared in his chest.
But he wasn’t dead!
He crashed backward along the steps, smashing big trees, collapsing houses, until over a hundred meters away before stopping.
The Third Raikage’s Lightning Release attribute countered his absolute defense bronze light, shattering the bronze light’s defense.
Cracks appeared on the bronze light, and beneath it, the bones and flesh on his chest were torn.
However, with the ring snake’s obstruction, the final blow to his chest was bearable; the injuries looked terrifying but hadn’t damaged his internal organs.
In mid-air, he hurriedly used Water Transformation Healing Technique to treat the chest injury.
Afraid of death, he stacked defenses: two defense secret jutsu and one healing secret jutsu; he withstood the Four-Fingered Thrust.
Yoru’s defensive ability, verified by the Third Raikage, was already top-tier in the ninja world.
The Third Raikage was shocked to see the culprit stagger to his feet.
He?
Stood up?
Yoru dispersed the clear water in his palm, ending the Water Transformation Healing Technique.
One of the Eight-Tails’ tails swept horizontally over Yoru’s head; the shadow under the moonlight made hearts race.
This tail wasn’t attacking him; it was the Eight-Tails indiscriminately destroying.
No one cared about the fox anymore, because the Eight-Tails’ Tailed Beast Ball flew out, heading inside the Cloud Village.
The Tailed Beast Ball exploded on a mountain peak, shaving off one-third of the mountain.
The people living on that mountain were doomed.
The Third Raikage’s eyes showed pain, then turned fierce.
Orochimaru body flickered to appear beside Yoru, looking at him in surprise.
The fox had hard-countered a strike from the Third Raikage?
The fox’s absolute defense secret jutsu was this powerful?
His chest clothes were charred black, blood splattered everywhere, but it seemed not to affect his actions?
Orochimaru thought he had already paid enough attention to the fox, but unexpectedly, it still wasn’t enough.
Orochimaru glanced sideways at Yoru:
“Originally, I thought I could get your corpse; Earth Release and Water Style both at elite jonin level, top-tier experimental material. Who would have thought, the Third Raikage is truly disappointing.”
“Lord Orochimaru, sometimes speaking more tactfully can enhance our emotions.” Yoru coughed a few times and said:
“You want me to cooperate with your experiments; that’s not impossible to discuss. But you coveting my body is a bit excessive.”
Orochimaru didn’t dare waste time and said: “Let’s go; the Eight-Tails has already gone berserk. Let the Cloud Ninjas worry from now on.”
The Third Raikage continued charging here, but Orochimaru and Yoru had already infiltrated underground.
The Third Raikage desperately wanted to tear apart these two culprits, but seeing the second Tailed Beast Ball gathering in the Eight-Tails’ mouth, he couldn’t pursue and hurriedly leaped up, smashing a fist toward the Eight-Tails.
In the distance, Orochimaru and Yoru appeared on another mountain peak.
Orochimaru saw the power of the Third Raikage’s punch.
The massive Eight-Tails fell from the mountaintop to the mountain slope.
Orochimaru thought to himself that it wasn’t the Third Raikage’s attack being weak; it was the fox’s defense being truly strong.
“Fox, as expected of the undercover agent I selected; you’ve truly given me quite a surprise…”
