Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 255 [Lava Release: Meteor Volcano]!

"Bi, something's wrong! This sealing technique is malfunctioning, quickly undo the Tailed Beast transformation!"

The demon shouted anxiously in the spiritual world.

Killer Bee also realized the danger and immediately tried to withdraw his chakra and revert to human form.

However----

"Can't it be solved?!"

Killer Bee was horrified to discover that the black chains seemed to have grown onto the Tailed Beast's cloak, tightly locking the flow of chakra, and he was unable to release the Tailed Beast form!

"Gotcha!"

Aoba looked at the bull demon, who was tightly bound by black chains, and a slow smile appeared on his lips.

Having learned from the experience of sealing the Nine-Tails last time, Aoba not only increased the size of the jar this time, but also added the blood of the Uzumaki clan to it as a medium to activate the Uzumaki clan's secret sealing technique, the Vajra Seal.

"No good! Let's not compete!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, who was in the distance, saw this scene and clearly realized that something was wrong.

boom!

The Raikage unleashed his Lightning Release chakra to its fullest extent, transforming into a dazzling blue meteor as he charged madly toward Aoba.

"Stop right there!"

Raikage's roar echoed through the sky as his fist, enveloped in destructive lightning, hurtled towards Aoba's face, attempting to interrupt the sealing technique.

However, Aoba, who was doing his best to maintain the sealing technique, didn't even turn his head, as if he hadn't noticed the murderous intent behind him at all.

Just as the Raikage's fist was about to strike Aoba...

A bizarre scene unfolded.

Glug glug————

Aoba's back suddenly twitched, and then a figure that looked exactly like Aoba slowly split off from his body!

Split bodies!

boom!

The split version of Aoba raised his arm and forcefully blocked Raikage Aina's violent punch.

A violent shockwave swept outwards, and the split entity's feet carved two deep trenches in the ground, but it stood firmly in front of Raikage, refusing to budge an inch.

"I'm sorry, Raikage-sama."

The split Aoba raised his head, looked at the Fourth Raikage in front of him, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"I'll keep you company here."

Lei Ying Ai looked at "Yamashiro Aoba" blocking his way, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"A mere shadow clone dares to stand in my way?!"

With a roar, Ai's Lightning Release Chakra Armor erupted with a blinding blue light, and his right fist, carrying destructive power, slammed into the face of the split-body Aoba.

However, facing this powerful and heavy blow, the split-body Aoba showed no intention of backing down.

The three-tomoe Sharingan in his eyes spun wildly, and he suddenly crossed his arms in front of his chest.

boom!

A muffled, loud bang exploded in the sky above the battlefield, and a violent shockwave swept outwards from the two men, sending rubble flying from the ground.

Lei Ying Ai's pupils suddenly contracted, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

It's blocked?!

His punch, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, was actually blocked by this "shadow clone" in front of him!

The split-body Aoba's arms trembled slightly under the enormous impact, and cracks appeared on the surface of his skin, which was the Earth Release technique of Hardening.

At this moment, bright red blood seeped out from the gap.

Blood?

Lei Ying's pupils suddenly contracted.

Shadow clones dissipate when hit, water clones turn into water, but this guy in front of me is bleeding real blood!

"You're not a shadow clone?!"

Ai stared at Qingye in disbelief, her eyes filled with shock.

"Lord Raikage, your eyesight seems to be failing you."

The split-body Aoba curled up a mocking smile. "I never said I was a shadow clone."

Ai keenly sensed that although the green leaf in front of him was a physical entity, it did not possess the strange "immortal magma physique" he had seen before.

That punch really did hurt the other person!

"I see----"

Ai's mind raced, and he immediately deduced that this must be some kind of secret technique.

It can separate from the main body and create an independent physical clone that possesses some of the main body's abilities.

Having figured out the key to it, Ai's apprehension lessened slightly, but what followed was an even stronger sense of anxiety.

Because out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the real Aoba was controlling the black chains with all his might, dragging the huge eight-tailed beast little by little into that strange jar!

"Get out of here!"

A roared, and the lightning around his body surged once more, attempting to forcefully break through the defenses of the split Aoba to rescue Killer Bee.

But the split-form Aoba was like a piece of chewing gum that couldn't be shaken off; no matter how Ai attacked, he stuck to Ai's face.

Without his immortality, Aoba's fighting style became extremely cautious. He made full use of the Sharingan's perception, combined with the Lightning Release activation technique he had stolen, to dodge A's attacks with the slightest difference, while constantly harassing him with taijutsu and earth-style ninjutsu.

"That damned bastard!"

Ai was anxious, but she was unable to get rid of the entanglement of the split body, Qingye, in a short period of time.

Seeing that most of the eight-tailed beast's body had already been dragged into the jar, Ai was extremely anxious.

"Protect Lord Killer Bee!"

"All units, attack! Interrupt that sealing spell!"

Just then, the Cloud Village ninjas around them finally reacted.

Although they were shocked by the Konoha commander's terrifying strength, they still rushed forward without hesitation when they saw their Raikage and Jinchuriki in danger.

Konoha, on the other hand, would not stand idly by.

"Protect Lord Aoba! Don't let anyone get close to the sealing array!"

Uchiha Shisui was the first to rush out, followed by more than a dozen Uchiha clansmen and other Konoha ninja.

"kill!"

The two sides clashed instantly on the battlefield, the sounds of fighting and the explosions of ninjutsu intertwined.

What was originally just a battle between high-level combatants has now completely evolved into a full-scale conflict.

The war between Konoha and Kumogakure broke out without any warning.

One side is trying to rescue the village's most important strategic weapon, the Eight-Tails, while the other side is trying to protect the commander-in-chief who is currently sealing it.

Both sides were blinded by rage, relentlessly unleashing deadly attacks on their enemy.

Amidst the crowd, Uchiha Shisui moved with lightning speed, his ninja sword transforming into deadly streaks of cold light as he weaved through the Cloud Village ninjas.

Just as he had repelled two Cloud Village Chunin, a strong sense of crisis suddenly came from the side.

clang!

Shisui swung his sword backhand and precisely parried a broadsword that was slashing down at him.

Amidst the flying sparks, Shisui clearly saw who had arrived.

It was a young man from the Cloud Village with dark skin and white hair, who looked to be about the same age as him. His eyes had a lazy look in them, but the strength in his hands was astonishing.

In just a few seconds, the two had exchanged blows dozens of times.

"Among the younger generation of Kumogakure, there is actually a ninja with such strength."

Shisui was secretly surprised.

Shisui's Sharingan captured every movement of his opponent, his Body Flicker Technique and taijutsu working together seamlessly. However, his opponent was able to deflect his attacks at the last moment every time, and for a time the two were evenly matched.

"Who are you?" Shisui asked in a deep voice.

"Kumakushi Village, Darui."

The white-haired boy lazily gave his name, but his eyes were fixed on Shisui. "Sorry, it's troublesome, but I can't let you continue."

He forcefully pushed Shi Shui back, his hands quickly forming hand seals.

"Storm Release: Resilience and Determination!"

With a low shout from Darui, several dazzling blue lasers suddenly erupted from between his hands, shooting straight towards Shisui.

Storm Release?!

Shisui's pupils contracted, and his three-tomoe Sharingan instantly caught the trajectory of the laser.

With a flash, he used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to dodge the several blue lasers.

However----

Just as he dodged, those lasers that should have flown in a straight line suddenly made a strange turn in mid-air and attacked Qingye, who was sealing something behind him!

"Lord Aoba!"

Shisui was shocked and his face turned deathly pale. He wanted to turn around to help, but it was too late.

Those blue lasers were incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, they were already close to Qingye's back.

At this critical moment.

Aoba, who always had his back to the battlefield, seemed to have eyes in the back of his head.

He didn't turn around, but slowly raised his left hand, turned slightly to the side and stretched it out behind him.

Whoohoo!

The lightning bolt from the Storm Release struck Aoba's palm, stirring up a wisp of blue smoke and arcs of electricity.

He slowly withdrew his left hand, glanced at the slight charred marks on his palm, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Storm Release, huh? — That's interesting."

Aoba spoke in a calm tone, as if it were just a trivial matter.

However, it was his action of raising his hand to block that caused the otherwise flawless sealing technique to pause by an extremely slight degree.

For an ordinary ninja, this slight pause might not even be noticeable.

But for the Eight-Tailed Gyūki, who was driven to the brink of despair, this was a godsend!

The octopus, which had been dragged into the jar, suddenly exerted its strength, and the octopus tentacles that were tightly bound by black chains broke off on their own at that moment!

puff!

The Eight-Tailed Warrior severed his own arm, forcibly abandoning the sealed part of his body in exchange for a brief period of freedom.

Immediately afterwards————

Wow!

The eight-tailed creature opened its enormous mouth, and a massive amount of black ink gushed out like a waterfall, instantly covering all the black chains binding its body.

The Adamantine Lock chain, which had been tightly binding the Eight-Tails' chakra, began to slip uncontrollably as it was washed by the ink, as if it had been coated with high-grade lubricant.

The binding force of the seal instantly loosened!

"Let's compete! Now!"

The demon roared in the spiritual world.

Killer Bee seized the fleeting opportunity in an instant.

He abruptly severed the connection with the Eight-Tails' chakra, forcefully releasing himself from his tailed beast state and reverting to human form.

Swish!

Without the burden of the Eight-Tails, the black chains quickly retracted into the white jar.

pat.

The lid of the jar closed automatically with a crisp sound.

The seal has failed!

Seeing that the Eight-Tails had escaped again, the entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence.

The Cloud Village ninjas stopped their attack, and the Konoha ninjas also retreated.

The two sides distanced themselves again, entering a tense standoff.

Not far away, Aoba, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Raikage Ai, swayed slightly, turned into a blur, and quickly retreated back to his original body.

The two Aoba stood side by side, and then, under everyone's gaze, the split body slowly merged into the main body, as if it had never existed.

Raikage A also took the opportunity to leap and land to Killer Bee's side.

"Bi! Are you alright?!"

Ai grabbed Killer Bee's shoulder and nervously looked him up and down.

"Big brother, I'm fine, it's just that Hachi has broken a few legs, and it's very angry." Killer Bee forced a relaxed expression, but his tone revealed an undisguised weakness.

After confirming that Killer Bee was not in any danger, Raikage A breathed a long sigh of relief, then turned his head and stared intently at Yamashiro Aoba across from him.

Everyone expected that Aoba would be furious after the sealing failed, but to everyone's surprise, there was no anger on Aoba's face.

Instead, he turned his gaze to the white-haired boy not far away.

That person must be Darui.

The future Fifth Raikage.

"Lord Aoba!"

Shisui instantly appeared beside Aoba, knelt on one knee, and said with deep self-reproach, "It's my fault that the opponent's ninjutsu broke through my defenses. Please punish me, sir!"

If it weren't for his carelessness, the Eight-Tails might have been completely sealed away by now.

Aoba glanced down at Shisui, then reached out and gently patted Shisui's shoulder twice.

"It's alright, get up. Storm Release is a Bloodline Limit, it's normal for a first encounter. Just be more careful next time."

As he spoke, Aoba raised his head, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield and landing on Raikage A and Killer Bee.

"Lord Raikage."

Aoba's voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear on the silent battlefield.

"Your Hidden Cloud Village has indeed produced a very excellent subordinate."

Aoba's tone carried an undisguised admiration.

Hearing Qingye's praise, Lei Yingai snorted coldly and didn't say anything, but a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

Darui is the younger generation he values ​​most, so naturally he won't be bad.

However, as soon as Qingye finished speaking, the lazy smile on his face slowly faded away.

He took a step and slowly walked towards the Cloud Hidden side.

Tap, tap, tap —

The crisp sound of footsteps was exceptionally clear on the silent battlefield.

As Aoba approached, an invisible sense of oppression swept towards the Cloud Village's camp like a tidal wave.

Many Cloud Village ninjas gripped their weapons tightly, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.

"Although you have very excellent subordinates—"

As Qingye walked, she spoke softly, her voice not loud, yet clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.

"But my subordinates are no less capable."

He stopped in his tracks, his gaze sweeping over the Raikage and Killer Bee, who were standing ready for battle, his dark eyes gleaming with a chilling light.

"If I were to let you all leave so easily today—"

A cold smile curved at the corners of Qingye's lips.

"As the commander-in-chief of Konoha, I can't explain this to them."

The moment the words fell, a terrifyingly high temperature that was suffocating suddenly erupted from Aoba's body!

boom!

Crimson flames instantly engulfed Qingye's arms, followed by scorching magma gushing out from his shoulders!

Glug glug————

To everyone's horror, scalding lava flowed down his arms and dripped onto the ground.

Thick black smoke rose from both sides of the green leaves, and the surrounding air was violently distorted by the extreme heat, as if even space itself was about to be ignited.

"What...what kind of monster is this?!"

Within the Cloud Village camp, countless ninjas gasped in shock, their hands gripping their ninja tools trembling uncontrollably.

The pungent smell of sulfur filled the air, and thick smoke rose from both sides of the green leaves, making his figure look like a demon god emerging from hell.

"This chakra—"

Raikage Ai stared intently at Aoba's arms, which had turned into magma, and his heart clenched.

As a powerful individual who has mastered Lightning Release ninjutsu to its highest level, his perception of danger is extremely keen.

At this moment, the destructive aura emanating from Qingye gave him the illusion that he was no match for him!

"Everyone, back off!"

Raikage roared, but it was too late.

Countless massive magma bursts into the sky, disappearing into the clouds and turning the entire sky a dark, apocalyptic red.

"Lava Release: Meteor Volcano!"
