Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 284 Hidden Cloud Village, War Begins!

The battle in Konoha Village has temporarily reached a stalemate and ended.

The battle in Kumogakure has only just begun.

Just as Nagato and Konan were plotting against Jiraiya and Might Guy, Uehara Naraku and Deidara arrived at Kumogakure.

Due to the unique environment of Kumogakure, thunder rumbled in the sky, and streaks of lightning occasionally leaped through the clouds, making it a sight that could make one's heart pound.

Deidara hated thunderstorms the most. He couldn't help but pick at his ear and pout, "The thunder is so loud, how do those muscle-bound idiots in Kumogakure endure it?"

"This place is perfect for using Lightning Release: Kirin."

Sasuke Uchiha looked up at the thunder that occasionally echoed over the Hidden Cloud Village. His Sharingan could easily detect the traces of lightning in the sky, and he only needed to guide it to release the S-rank Lightning Release: Kirin.

Sasuke Uchiha turned to look at Naraku Uehara and asked softly, "Uehara-senpai, may I use Lightning Release: Kirin to greet Kumogakure?"

Say hello.

Ever since Uehara Naraku led everyone on a few missions, this saying has become popular within the Akatsuki organization: "Upon meeting the enemy, first unleash a powerful S-rank jutsu..."

This is how you say hello.

In Konoha, Nagato initially used Pain's Deva Path to greet them with Shinra Tensei, while in Kumogakure, Sasuke Uchiha wanted to greet them with Lightning Release: Kirin.

Say hello, say hello...

If you can't beat them, at least say hello!

Uehara Naraku glanced speechlessly at Uchiha Sasuke, sighed, and said, "Fine, then you can give it a try!"

"Yes, senior."

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly clenched his hands into a hand seal, his five fingers pointing towards the sky. Under Sasuke's guidance, the thunderclouds in the sky began to gradually gather.

next moment.

A massive thunder beast leaped out of the thunderclouds in the sky!

The target of this thunder beast's attack is the Raikage-ro of Kumogakure!

Above ground.

Kumogakure, Raikage's office.

The Fourth Raikage, A, leaned back on the sofa in his office, frowning as he flipped through the documents sent from the village. He didn't look like someone who liked to review documents at all.

This is a characteristic of Raikage.

Every Raikage is a rugged man who never likes to sit at a desk; instead, he prefers to find a spacious spot anywhere.

That's just their personality; they don't like being constrained.

However, there was another person in the Raikage's office today, namely Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and sworn brother of the Fourth Raikage. Because he was worried that Killer Bee would be attacked by Akatsuki, the Fourth Raikage A planned to keep Killer Bee by his side for the time being.

To be honest, the Fourth Raikage had some regrets.

Killer Bee was hopping and skipping around the office when he suddenly jumped up and stood on the table in front of the sofa, gesturing wildly with his fingers: "Big brother, I'll dance, you sing, that's us, the AB duo! Oh yeah!"

"..."

The Fourth Raikage's face darkened.

The next moment, the Raikage silently raised his head and looked at Killer Bee. With a gloomy expression, he took an apple from the tray, squeezed it tightly, and crushed it into crumbs!

"..."

Watching the Fourth Raikage's movements, Killer Bee felt a bead of cold sweat slowly trickle down his forehead. He immediately changed his posture, waving his hands: "I'll dance, you sing, a B-B duo, that works too! Yeah!"

"Compare."

The Fourth Raikage's forehead throbbed as he coldly sized up his sworn brother, his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles cracked: "Say another word, and I'll crush you to dust!"

After saying that, the Fourth Raikage flung the apple crumbs in his hand at Killer Bee's face and kicked Killer Bee off the table!

To be honest, ever since I got this goofy and idiotic brother, the Fourth Raikage A feels like he's lost ten years of his life!

of course.

Without Killer Bee as a brother, the Fourth Raikage A might not have even survived the Fourth Shinobi World War more than a decade ago.

According to the tradition of Kumogakure, each generation of Raikage has a partner, namely the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of the village. Only at this time can they inherit the name A.

same.

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was able to inherit the name Hibi, a name passed down through generations of Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, because he was able to become the most suitable partner for the current Raikage.

This is the AB combination of Kumogakure.

They are also the most elite fighting force in Kumogakure.

To be honest, the Fourth Raikage A was very happy when he found Killer Bee as a suitable sworn brother. As it turned out, Killer Bee did not disappoint the expectations of Kumogakure, and the combination of the two was so powerful that they were almost invincible.

Aside from his narrow defeat to Minato Namikaze...

Unfortunately, Killer Bee's personality is too unpredictable.

Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, is different from others. He has loved singing, dancing, and rapping since he was a child, and now he likes to add rhythm to his speech, often putting on a headache-inducing impromptu performance.

Because Killer Bee, as the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, suffered discrimination from the village since childhood, he relied on this method to laugh in response to those who discriminated against, humiliated, or even harmed him.

The Fourth Raikage therefore had a high tolerance for Killer Bee.

However, even Buddha has his limits when it comes to a fool. Killer Bee, this idiot sworn brother, always inadvertently provokes the Fourth Raikage.

Damn it, has this guy forgotten the temperament of each Raikage?

The Fourth Raikage simply crushed an apple and kicked Killer Bee off the table; this was actually a very gentle approach...

At any other time, Chirabi would probably be hospitalized by now.

Just as the Fourth Raikage, A, was about to give Killer Bee another scolding to keep him quiet for a few more minutes, he suddenly heard the thunder in the Hidden Cloud Village sound slightly off.

The thunder in the sky is a bit strange!

The roars of ferocious beasts echoed from the sky!

A beautiful, dark-skinned ninja swiftly pushed open the Raikage's office door and said urgently, "Raikage-sama, the sensory team reports an anomaly in the sky. Someone seems to be unleashing a powerful Lightning Release ninjutsu over the village!"

"I see!"

The Fourth Raikage waved his hand impatiently, smashed through the glass of his office, and stormed out: "Summon the village's combat forces! I want to see who dares to do this!"

This is how the Fourth Raikage leaves his house.

The Fourth Raikage, A, had no bad habits in his life, and his biggest expense each year was repairing the glass wall in his office.

"Big brother, wait for me!"

Killer Bee scrambled out from the corner and rushed out through the gap in the glass that the Fourth Raikage had smashed through, yelling, "AB combination, unstoppable! Yoho!"

After the two people left.

The beautiful ninja who had just rushed into the office also relayed orders to the others, requiring all combat units to assemble quickly and prepare to face any potential enemies.

above the sky.

A massive thunder beast appeared.

Uchiha Sasuke stood on the back of an ancient dragon, manipulating his chakra to guide Lightning Release: Kirin towards the Hidden Cloud Village on the ground!

Sasuke Uchiha watched his Lightning Release: Kirin descend, a smug smile playing on his lips. "Hmph, Kumogakure, born from thunder, shall vanish in thunder!"

Besides Itachi Uchiha, is there anyone else who can withstand the attack of the Lightning Release: Kirin?

Even if such a thing existed, it would be absolutely impossible for it to appear in Kumogakure. Uchiha Sasuke believed himself to be the strongest Lightning Release ninja!

The Fourth Raikage looked up at the Kirin Thunder Beast hurtling down from the sky, his temper instantly flaring. A dense burst of chakra erupted from his body: "Are you courting death? How dare you target Raikage-ro!"

Sparks of electricity instantly erupted from the Fourth Raikage's body as he entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode the moment he saw the Lightning Beast appear!

Behind Killer Bee, who was standing next to the Fourth Raikage, came a series of tails. The chakra on these tails quickly gathered and formed a black and purple Tailed Beast Ball, which was then fiercely shot out towards the Thunder Beast in the air!

The dark purple Tailed Beast Ball collided head-on with the Thunder Beast Kirin almost instantly, easily shattering the technique that was capable of destroying the Thunder Shadow Tower!

Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, watched as the Thunder Beast was destroyed by the Tailed Beast Ball. He pushed up his small sunglasses, a somewhat casual gesture that made him seem very cool.

Especially after he had just easily resolved the crisis.

Just as the Fourth Raikage thought his adopted brother was finally reliable, Killer Bee suddenly twisted his body and struck what he thought was a cool dance pose: "As expected, in the end, it's still me, Eight-Tails Killer Bee, yay!"

"Shut up!"

The Fourth Raikage's face darkened again.

Damn, this idiot's coolness only lasts three seconds!

Fortunately, the Fourth Raikage was not in the mood to continue scolding him. He was just looking up at the huge creature that was slowly flying around Kumogakure in the sky.

"dawn!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, immediately recognized the monster.

The ancient dragon has become a signal for the Akatsuki's external wars.

As the signature summoning beast of the Akatsuki organization, whenever the Ancient Dragon appears in a village, it means that a ninja village is about to be destroyed by the Akatsuki.

There has never been an exception to this day.

The Fourth Raikage clenched his fists, gazing at the ancient dragon still slowly soaring through the air, and loudly ordered the approaching group, "Prepare the chakra cannons! Let those Akatsuki bastards know that if they dare enter Kumogakure, they won't be leaving!"

"Yes, Lord Raikage!"

The leading Jonin nodded hastily.

The Chakra Cannon is a secret weapon of the Hidden Cloud Village, with power far exceeding the imagination of any ninja. Unfortunately, due to its size, weight, and method of replenishing energy, it cannot be transported and has always been used as a defensive weapon within the Hidden Cloud Village.

The ancient dragon in the sky suddenly flew down!

Uehara Naraku was also very aware of the Hidden Cloud Village's secret weapon. He was not prepared to let his mount become a target, so he immediately rode the ancient dragon down.

Uehara Naraku slowly disbanded the ancient dragon and leaped onto the top of the Raikage Tower. Uchiha Sasuke, Deidara, and the others stood beside him. The four people dressed in black robes with auspicious clouds watched a group of Cloud Village ninjas standing opposite them.

"Looks like we're very lucky."

A smile crept across Uehara Naraku's face as he looked at the Fourth Raikage, A, and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee, standing at the forefront of a group of Cloud Village ninja. He continued with a laugh, "The famous AB duo from Cloud Village are both here. They should be able to provide me with some entertainment, right?"

"Um…"

Sasori of the Red Sand shook his head helplessly: "Uehara, are you always this confident when you see an enemy? When are you going to show off your confidence in front of your teacher...?"

Naraku Uehara: "..."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Deidara's face beamed with a bright smile as he chuckled and continued, "Leave them to me. I'll use my art to take care of these big guys from Kumogakure!"

"Hmph, your clay bomb probably won't be very effective, will it?"

Sasuke Uchiha scoffed dismissively, continuing with a contemptuous tone, "This village is full of ninjas who can counter you. Let me handle this!"

Sasuke Uchiha stared arrogantly at the Fourth Raikage, A, and Killer Bee. A red light flashed in his crimson Sharingan, and he said coldly, "I'll show them what true Lightning Release ninjutsu is!"
