Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 106 The Third Raikage: I really want to kill a genius!

"Big brother!"

Upon seeing this, Killer Bee's eyes turned fierce, and his Tailed Beast Chakra erupted, causing his speed to increase dramatically. Might Guy originally intended to use Shadow Dance Leaf to lift Killer Bee into the air, but the blade instantly cut him.

too fast!

Kakashi immediately stepped back.

at this time--

Jingyan forms a hand seal.

Yin Seal - Released!

One of the "pools" was unsealed, and chakra surged from it.

At the same time, the "gate" inside his body opened.

The next moment...

call out!

Killer Bee did not expect that Kyohiko also possessed a way to increase speed and unleash chakra.

By the time he realized what was happening, Jingyan was already a step in front of him.

He was fast enough to immediately retaliate with his blade.

but.

In the blink of an eye, Jingyan split into three, attacking him from three different directions.

Konoha Style: Dance of the Crescent Moon!

Jingyan had been studying this move for a long time and had already mastered it, but now he had only reached the level of proficiency.

But he doesn't need the real Crescent Moon Dance.

Just like this time...

It split into three, and the first one to be affected immediately vanished, turning into a fleeting shadow.

Another shadow clone was also destroyed by Killer Bee's tail.

but.

The third one, however, emerged from a blind spot in Killer Bee's attack and landed a punch on him.

Strange power!

Bang!

The burst of chakra sent Killer Bee flying, crashing heavily into the mountain wall, where he was deeply embedded.

The mountain rocks cracked, and stones above collapsed.

Kakashi silently put away the Rasengan.

Kai blinked, looking astonished: "Kyohiko, aren't you going too far? This...!"

That punch was terrifying!

If he takes a punch, he'll be severely injured, even if he doesn't die.

"Don't worry, he's a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast, he'll be fine."

Jingyan withdrew his chakra.

At that moment, Ai got up to fight back, but Minato had already created distance.

Then, he looked around and was immediately stunned.

Even Killer Bee...

How is that possible!

"Junior Ninja Ai, I think this exchange should end now, or... do you want to continue fighting?"

Minato Namikaze smiled.

Ai was unwilling to accept this, and said, "It's because our teamwork is inferior to the four of you, but if it were a one-on-one fight, I wouldn't..."

Then he fell silent.

Initially, he was unwilling to admit his defeat, but upon reflection, he realized that he had been slammed to the ground by Minato Namikaze, while the other three opponents hadn't even made a move.

In other words.

He was hit one-on-one by Minato Namikaze. If it weren't for his Lightning Release Armor, Minato's attack would have severely injured him. Even with the Lightning Release Armor...

Now, he's not at ease at all.

"I know a little bit of medical ninjutsu, let me heal your wounds."

Jingyan withdrew the Yin Seal Chakra.

Ai sighed and was about to say something when, at that moment, terrifying chakra erupted from the mountain wall.

Killer Bee is further unleashing the power of the Tailed Beasts!

"No, you still can't control it!"

Ai's pupils contracted.

This is about to go berserk.

He had no time to compete with Minato.

Then, Killer Bee, dragging three tails, burst out of the mountain wall.

Just as A was about to rush over and beat Killer Bee up to bring him back to his senses and control the Tailed Beast, he saw that Minato Namikaze had already disappeared.

The next moment, Minato Namikaze was close to Killer Bee.

Just as Killer Bee was attacking him frantically, he vanished again in an instant, and at the same time, he was already close to Killer Bee's side, with the Five Elements flowing in his hands.

Five Elements Seal!

Press it onto Killer Bee.

In an instant, the tailed beast's chakra receded, and its tail gradually disappeared.

Then, he grabbed Killer Bee, instantly appeared beside Ai, looked helplessly at Kyohiko, and said, "Kyohiko, you went too far."

"It has nothing to do with me. I knew my limits with that punch. The Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beast wouldn't be seriously injured. It must be that you went too far and made him worry about his brother's safety, which is why he did that!"

Jingyan immediately retorted.

Ai's forehead veins bulged.

The two of them sounded like they were blaming each other, but they were actually just messing with his mindset.

Too heavy-handed...

They weren't seriously injured at all!

Normally, they can launch a counterattack immediately after a short rest.

"Bi, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, brother..."

Kirabi looked at Ai with concern.

Jingyan stepped closer and said, "I know medical ninjutsu, so this kind of injury can be healed quickly. But I wonder when those two will wake up."

"..."

Mentioning those two people made Ai's shoulder ache again.

Those two Jonin were defeated without doing anything. Although it's not entirely their fault, their early defeat was definitely a contributing factor to their eventual failure.

Ai felt her body recovering.

"Thanks!"

After treatment, Ai recovered completely.

Kakashi stood to the side, secretly surprised.

He knew Minato's strength very well; if that Rasengan hit, a normal person would not only suffer such injuries.

A's lightning defense is very strong!

During the battle, he observed and pondered while slacking off, but he still couldn't figure out the secret of the Cloud Village's Lightning Release Armor.

"Your name is Kyohiko, right?"

Moxibustion can help to loosen muscles and bones.

This kid is really skilled; his treatment was very meticulous, and now there's absolutely no problem.

Ninjutsu, taijutsu, medical ninjutsu...

Is there anything he can't do?

In some ways, he was even more outrageous than Tobirama Senju.

Ai pondered this in her heart.

He looked at Killer Bee, whose chakra aura was much more stable at this moment, but he could sense that there was another seal inside Killer Bee's body.

Was that a sealing technique?

"Jonin Minato..."

"it is good."

Minato Namikaze nodded, formed a hand seal, and then placed his palm back in the original position.

The Five Elements Unsealing!

With the seal broken, Killer Bee's aura dissipated, gradually returning to normal. However, after A glanced at him, Killer Bee immediately controlled his emotions and suppressed his chakra.

Jingyan watched from the side without saying a word or intervening.

They were chatting.

In the distance, two other Jonin also woke up.

Murasawa and Wada looked completely bewildered.

Ai didn't reprimand them, but just glanced at them before leading his men toward Kumogakure.

……

Upon returning to the village, many people came to greet him, including the Third Raikage.

He was taller and stronger than Ai.

They look like they have a lot of strength.

"Welcome everyone from Konoha to come and exchange ideas. Please come inside."

The Third Raikage greeted them with a smile as they entered.

The Raikage personally greeted him.

Such a level of respect was quite generous, and Minato Namikaze, in turn, was extremely polite and dared not slack off in the slightest.

After parting ways with the Konoha group, Ai finally had a chance to look at the two Jonin who had accompanied him.

"How did you all become unconscious?"

"Well, I don't know. We were initially wary of those two kids rushing towards us. Jingyan is so strong, they can't be weak either. But then suddenly someone flew out from behind us..."

They were both completely baffled and still hadn't figured it out.

Ai finally confirmed it.

Kunai!

The opponent's special teleportation technique requires kunai as coordinates for movement; it is a space-time ninjutsu.

"I see."

Ai nodded, not blaming them, but patting them on the shoulder, "Don't take it to heart. After you, I also suffered at his hands."

"what?"

The two looked at each other, both filled with shock.

Given Ai's competitive nature, it's almost an admission of defeat that he would admit to being at a disadvantage, especially since neither side went all out.

Is this really something Ai would say?

"..."

Ai was speechless.

He knew how others perceived him, but he was too lazy to explain at the moment. He simply waved and walked toward the Raikage Building.

Once inside, they made arrangements for the four from Konoha.

He stepped down from the earthen platform: "Let's go upstairs and talk about the situation."

"yes!"

Ai followed in his footsteps.

Once inside the office, the Third Raikage chuckled, "How about that? You got a big loss, didn't you?"

How did you know?

Ai was surprised.

Since their first meeting, the Third Raikage and Tsuchikage should not have seen anyone from outside Konoha.

Did he send people to track him?

Do not!

Ai knew her father well; since he had entrusted her with the task, he probably wouldn't send anyone else...

The Third Raikage sneered, "Don't even think about it. I know your personality. If you were going to win, you would have said so as soon as you entered. Why would you have waited until now without saying a word?"

Ai really wanted to refute it.

If he really wins, he will indeed be very happy, and might show some signs of it, but it won't be to the point of...

Ok.

Their current state certainly doesn't look like they've won.

Ai said, head bowed, "We lost, and we lost completely. I haven't figured out a way to break this yet."

Tell me in detail.

The Third Raikage sat upright.

He rarely heard his son use the phrase "very thorough" to describe things.

A said, "Minato Namikaze has mastered a space-time ninjutsu. He can teleport by using kunai—or rather, kunai with some kind of mark on them."

The Third Raikage and Tsuchikage locked eyes, their expressions suddenly turning serious.

Then, he looked at Ai.

"This is the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"Flying Thunder God?"

Ai had a vague recollection of it.

The Third Raikage reminded him, "Back then, Tobirama Senju was known as the fastest ninja in the world, do you remember?"

The father knows his son best.

A's goal was to become the fastest ninja in the world. After being reminded by the Third Raikage, he immediately remembered where he had heard that.

I stumbled upon some documents that recorded Tobirama Senju's Flying Thunder God Technique.

of course.

There aren't many records from Kumogakure, except that the other party possessed space-time ninjutsu and could achieve true instantaneous movement.

"So, he's mastered Tobirama Senju's techniques..."

Ai muttered to herself.

Given how talented and powerful Tobirama Senju was, losing to him doesn't seem so shameful.

of course.

He soon realized that he was deceiving himself.

Being able to master it is a skill!

Minato Namikaze is indeed faster than him.

Ai gathered his thoughts and then said, "Besides Minato Namikaze, that guy named Kyohiko Yoshimine is also very strong; he's even stronger than last year!"

"Being even more powerful was expected, but how exactly will it be powerful?"

Tu Tai was immediately intrigued.

Yoshimine Kyohiko...

He saw him in Yugakure last year. He was indeed impressive, but not to the point that Ai should praise him.

"He's already a Jonin, and among Jonin, he's one of the strongest."

Ai commented.

Tsuchikage looked at Raikage with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

They created hype to get Konoha to promote him to Jonin, their intention being to elevate Kyohiko to a high position and then ruin this promising talent.

result.

Does the other side really have that kind of strength?

impossible!

"How old is he?"

Tu Tai muttered to himself, his face filled with shock.

Ai was initially feeling conflicted, but upon seeing Tu Tai's expression, she immediately smiled.

"I'm the same as you. I didn't believe it at first either, but his Water Dragon Bullet is very special... and it's a terrifying power, probably learned from Tsunade..."

Ai listed them one by one.

Upon hearing that Kyohiko had managed to send Killer Bee, who was in a half-tailed beast form, flying, the Third Raikage and Tsuchikage could no longer contain themselves.

That's right.

That's Tsunade's incredible strength; this guy even knows medical ninjutsu...

Each single technique requires a ninja to spend many years researching, but Kyohiko has honed each one to a very high level.

If Ai hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, neither of them would have believed that such a genius existed in the world.

"Seeing him is like seeing Tobirama Senju..."

The Third Raikage sighed.

Then, he let out a long sigh.

"If we really wanted to stifle such a genius, giving him ten or twenty years, how powerful and terrifying would Konoha be? By then, would our Hidden Cloud Village still have a chance?"

The Third Raikage considered himself powerful and fearless against anyone in Konoha at present, but he would eventually grow old, while his opponents would only gradually become stronger.

even.

Become stronger at an unreasonable speed!

The office was deathly silent.

Ai's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Otherwise, we'll kill them, just like back then..."

Boom, boom, boom...

The Third Raikage tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his thoughts becoming more chaotic with each tap, and his expression growing increasingly gloomy.

After a long while, he shook his head.

"Disaster!"

Tsunade must have had considerable confidence to dare to send them.

Ninja warfare is not just a contest of strength, but also a contest of intelligence and tactics.

They know too little about these four people from Konoha. If they act rashly, they might damage their relationship with each other and end up gaining nothing.

Ai hesitated for a moment, then said, "I heard that the Hidden Stone Village and the others want to attack Konoha. If we act now, we can join them..."

"stupid!"

The Third Raikage gave him a cold look. "When will you stop using your muscles to think?"

Ai obediently lowered her head and accepted the scolding.

Have you ever seen village kids fight? When there are fewer of them fighting against a larger group, how do they manage to fight?

"what?"

Ai was bewildered. After a moment of recollection, he understood what his father meant.

The villagers of Yunyin are known for their fierce and valiant nature, and small-scale fights and brawls frequently occur in the village.

When outnumbered, whoever strikes first on the side with more troops will often be targeted and attacked.

One should not strike first.

Ai lowered her head: "I understand!"

……

"Kyohiko, we can't be careless tonight."

"clear."

Kyohiko pointed to a tree outside the window, and Minato Namikaze nodded knowingly.

They didn't reveal any information about their Wood Release abilities on the way, nor had they used it openly in the Grass Village before.

Kumogakure has no idea that Kyohiko's shadow clone is hidden among the trees outside.

Once Kakashi and Guy entered the room, Minato Namikaze set up a barrier to isolate the inside from the outside, and his expression turned serious.

"Something's not right in the atmosphere of Kumogakure."

"Similar to Kusagakure, after years of rest, everyone is no longer satisfied with the current situation and wants more and better land."

"Kyohiko said."

Minato Namikaze nodded, then looked at Kai.

"Kai..."

"yes!"

Kai immediately stood at attention.

Minato Namikaze waved his hand.

"No need for that. We're discussing things together now, so let's be more casual."

He expressed his concerns.

Of the four people present, he has a contract with Mount Myōboku with Kyōhiko and Kakashi, and can directly reach Mount Myōboku at critical moments through the Reverse Summoning Technique.

but.

Might Guy won't do.

The contract isn't currently on his side, and a temporary contract is unlikely, so...

"We need to prepare for the worst. If the Hidden Cloud Village attacks us, I will send you back to Shikaku's side immediately. You don't need to worry about us."

"Yes."

Matt Kai nodded after hearing this.

Afterwards, Minato Namikaze summoned a toad and told it about his plan, asking it to report back to Fukasaku and Shima.

Safety measures are in place.

He then moved on to the next matter.

"Kyohiko, Killer Bee should be the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and as you said before, their use of the Tailed Beast is completely different from ours."

"Hmm, compared to the two Yugitos, Killer Bee is stronger. He can even freely control one of the Eight-Tails' tails and maintain complete rationality in his One-Tail form..."

but.

Killer Bee doesn't seem to have fully mastered the Eight-Tails' power yet; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone berserk with the Three-Tails, but would have transformed directly into Gyuki.

The four reviewed the game and basically figured out Killer Bee's situation.

"The Jinchūriki of Kumogakure prefer to control the power of the Tailed Beasts for their own use, unlike us who mostly rely on sealing techniques and the abilities of the Uzumaki clan to suppress and utilize them."

Minato Namikaze's summary.

Jingyan thought for a moment, then couldn't help but say, "Ai mentioned that it's even more uncontrollable than it is now. What worries me is, what level of control do they mean by 'control'? Complete tailed beast transformation?"

"Complete Tailed Beast Transformation..."

Minato Namikaze fell silent for a moment.

The Two-Tails and Eight-Tails can fully transform into tailed beasts and be controlled by ninjas, making them quite terrifying on the battlefield.

If that's the case, the Hidden Cloud Village will definitely turn against them.

"Yes, we need to send this back to Konoha and make them take it into consideration."

"Secondly, there's the Lightning Release Armor..."

Kyohiko looked at Kakashi.

Kakashi shook his head, his face full of confusion.

"Normally, while such lightning release could enhance defense, it shouldn't have such a strong defensive effect..."

"This isn't even the strongest. The Third Raikage's nickname is 'The Strongest Shield.' I've heard that his Lightning Release Armor can even withstand a Tailed Beast Ball."

Minato Namikaze shared some insider information he knew.

Kakashi was understandably shocked.

"Tail, the Tailed Beast Ball?"

He had seen records about the Tailed Beast Ball in the Second Hokage's book by Kyohiko.

This power is terrifying!

The Third Raikage could even block it? Is he even a normal person?

"Could he have another bloodline limit?"

"No, but it might be related to their physical condition."

Minato Namikaze also didn't know much about this.
