Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 48 Attack X Team Up X Yang Ming [Part 2]

The Second Raikage rapidly formed hand seals:

Water Release: Water Wave Stepping

Behind the Second Raikage, A, a huge wave rose from the ground, estimated to be at least ten meters wide and at least ten meters high.

This is forest land, and the nearest water source is a kilometer away!

That's a monster!

Youya gritted his teeth, waiting for the golden boulder to be struck by the huge waves.

The moment the two made contact, the gold on the surface of the giant rock rapidly faded, revealing the original massive stone beneath...

"What?!" The Second Raikage's eyes widened, then he immediately realized that such a huge boulder couldn't possibly be entirely made of gold; this brat was bluffing!

Meanwhile, Youya simply put his hands together in prayer:

Earth Escape - Earth Seal Formation -

The giant rock in the air was affected by Yua's chakra and shattered into pieces, then broke through the giant wave and trapped the Second Raikage inside the rocks.

Yuya turned and ran again. At this moment, the giant wave crashed down, scattering Shimura Danzo and the others. Well, he had just backed down, and now he couldn't help even if he wanted to.

Uchiha Kagami was slammed against a tree trunk by a giant wave and nearly drowned in it.

Fortunately, this is land, and there is no water source around, otherwise we would have really drowned if we were swept in.

With a loud "boom," the Second Raikage broke through the seal of the rock, his eyes filled with even more killing intent.

To have such strength at such a young age, what will happen if he continues to grow like this?!

Today, we must make sure this brat stays here forever!

Without even glancing at the critically injured and dying Uchiha Kagami, the Second Raikage, his body crackling with lightning, rushed towards Yuya.

Yuya felt upset. Although he knew that his Earth Release sealing technique, which he had only learned a few days ago, was definitely not enough to seal the Second Raikage, this was just too outrageous.

Did it hold for even three seconds?!

Not even a second!

Yuya inwardly groaned, but his hands moved swiftly. He pulled out another scroll, took out a piece of gold, and used his ability to transform it into a cone. Then, he turned and thrust his ability at the approaching Second Raikage.

The Second Raikage looked at the golden cone, roughly the size of an adult and with a sharp tip, and sneered.

Come again?

He immediately formed a hand seal and unleashed a water-based attack towards the approaching cone.

However, this time, after encountering water, the golden cone did not lose its momentum, nor did it turn into stone as it had before.

Instead, it continued its momentum and lunged at the Second Raikage.

What?!

The Second Raikage was shocked, but knew it was too late. He reached out and grabbed the very tip of the cone...

Good weight!

With a "hiss".

The Second Raikage ultimately managed to dodge the attack by moving his body, although some flesh was sliced ​​off his shoulder.

The Second Raikage stared grimly at the golden cone on the ground, then looked at Yua with a cold smile in his eyes: "I see. This thing is different from that illusion you made out of stone before. This is real gold, isn't it?"

Yuya looked at the Second Raikage, and seeing that the other was waiting for his answer, he turned around and ran away.

You think I'm some kind of idiot who answers every question?!

Enraged, the Second Raikage once again covered his entire body with Lightning Release chakra, and with a stomp of his foot on the ground, he charged towards Yuya at lightning speed.

Youya threw out another scroll, a cone the size of a person that would require ten tons of gold. Of course, he could use more gold, but that would make the scroll too large and easy to dodge.

Against someone of the Second Raikage's caliber, being big is useless; he's too agile.

"It's no use!" The Second Raikage roared, his speed like teleportation, and he arrived directly beside Yua.

Yuya's pupils contracted sharply, and as if by reflex, he moved the golden weapon he had just pulled out to launch a sneak attack to the side, blocking the Second Raikage's powerful punch.

A punch landed on ten tons of gold, even squeezing and deforming it.

Yuya was struck in the chest by the dissipated lightning chakra, instantly feeling a numbness in his body and smelling the burning odor of his chest...

"ha!"

The Second Raikage punched the Golden Cone, sending it flying behind him along with Yua. Yua used his ability to liquefy the Golden Cone to protect himself. After crashing into a tree, Yua felt that his internal organs had been severely injured.

Since the Second Raikage appeared, Yua hasn't been attacked even once, and even though he had just lowered his stance, he was still severely injured...

The gap is too big...

The Second Raikage coldly watched the boy in front of him, who had been thrown against a tree and bounced back, struggling to get up.

Sorry, young man.

If you have to blame someone, blame it on the fact that you're not from Kumogakure.

The Second Raikage wasn't the type to waste time talking nonsense when he saw his opponent unable to move.

Now that the goal has been set...

Then the Second Raikage would have to finish him off personally...

You Ya's vision blurred. Was he really going to... today?

"clang"

A kunai, also enveloped in chakra, was placed in front of Yua, blocking the Second Raikage's attack.

You Ya breathed a sigh of relief. That was too slow, Uncle-Master…

Youya fainted with relief.

Tobirama Senju breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I had such a guess, I really didn't expect that the Second Raikage, that bastard, would actually set his sights on Yua.

Fortunately, we managed to resolve the issue on our side after doing everything we could.

Then he returned using the Flying Thunder God mark on Yua.

Otherwise, there would be no way to stop the Second Raikage.

"You bastard?! No way! My brother couldn't have been dealt with so easily by you!"

In Kumogakure, every Raikage has a brother who is as close as a sworn brother and fights alongside him. The Second Raikage's brother is the current Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

He still trusted his younger brother, the Second Raikage. Only a minute or two had passed at most, how could his brother have been dealt with so quickly?

Tobirama Senju's cold face remained calm: "I came here with peace of mind because the Eight-Tails' body is so enormous."

The Second Raikage's eyes widened in anger: "What do you mean?"

Tobirama Senju suddenly sneered, "I ask you, which is more powerful: one explosive tag exploding a hundred times, or a hundred explosive tags exploding a hundred times?"

The Second Raikage was slightly taken aback, and then heard a loud explosion.

He understood perfectly well. He glared at Tobirama Senju: "You bastard, how could you..."

Tobirama Senju coldly stared at the Second Raikage: "Do you still have time to waste on me? I haven't held back. Even the Eight-Tails couldn't withstand being bombarded with over a hundred explosive tags for a minute, could he?"

As he spoke, Tobirama Senju glanced amusedly at the Second Raikage's shoulder, where there was a vacant spot: "And... you yourself were injured?"

The Second Raikage fell silent, weighing his options. If he disregarded the Eight-Tails and the life or death of his younger brother, and focused solely on killing Yua, then he could definitely succeed.

How could Tobirama Senju possibly manage to protect a comatose child all by himself?

But the problem is...

Is it worth it...?

The Second Raikage pondered for a few seconds, listened to the continuous explosions, gritted his teeth, and turned to run towards the center of the explosions.

Ultimately, regardless of the fact that the Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki is his own brother, the value of the Eight-Tails as a Tailed Beast makes it impossible for him to simply give it up.

Although the Eight-Tails will be resurrected after it dies, what if it is resurrected in another country and captured by people from that country?

Aiko didn't believe that someone else would return the captured item to her.

Of course, did she even have the thought of saving her younger brother in her heart...?

Although the Second Raikage doesn't want to admit it, it probably is.

Tobirama Senju breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the Second Raikage retreat.

Fortunately, Yuya, that brat, didn't get into any trouble.

When Tobirama Senju arrived and saw the two enormous golden cones on the battlefield, he knew what had happened.

That kid Youya seems pretty good.

but……

You can forget about taking these two golden things back.

……

June 22nd, Konoha Year 19.

The Second Raikage personally led an elite squad to carry out a decapitation mission against the Konoha army, but the mission failed and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was seriously injured.

On Konoha's side, 148 ninjas died, 103 were seriously injured, and 781 others sustained other injuries.

Having suffered this sneak attack, Konoha was no longer able to penetrate deeper into the Land of Lightning and had no choice but to retreat to the front lines of the Land of Fire for rest and reorganization.

It is worth mentioning that during this attack, Yua Kamikaze, at the age of 13, directly blocked the Second Raikage's attack and seriously injured the Second Raikage. Although the Second Raikage later tried his best to explain that Yua had only attacked him unexpectedly and that he was not seriously injured at all.

However, when asked if Yua was indeed injured, the Second Raikage, who disdained lying, nodded in admission.

In an instant, the entire ninja world remembered Shinkin Yua, the 13-year-old who could severely injure the Second Raikage (Second Raikage: I only lost a piece of flesh and was protected by Lightning Release chakra, at most it was a minor injury! A minor injury! You unscrupulous media!).

The ordinary villagers of Konoha Village also heard this name for the first time.

When later generations examined this history, they discovered that the Second Raikage severely injured the future Third Hokage, Shinkin Yua, during this war, but Tobirama Senju stopped him from continuing to kill him.

Kumogakure, no, it was the only chance that could have caused Konoha's decline and allowed their own village to rise again.

I received a last-minute company assignment to go on a business trip to Xi'an to meet clients. It's an opportunity, I guess. If I can close the deal, my sales targets for this month should be secured. I won't have time to write for the next three days, but updates won't stop. My stockpile will be reduced by 6, okay? I'll just have to keep working hard when I get back. [Sigh, I thought I could finally get some rest this Sunday. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to be a workhorse.]
