The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

"Akatsuki!"

The Fourth Raikage gritted his teeth, his body radiating an extremely dense amount of Lightning Release chakra. He pushed off with his feet, and his body disappeared.

Killer Bee, complete with its own background music, followed closely behind.

"Lightning Armor!"

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed, and the Fourth Raikage appeared in front of Obito, his right arm gathering Lightning Release chakra, his four fingers joined together.

"Hellish Thrust - Four-in-One Slash"

Without a doubt, the Fourth Raikage passed right through Obito without causing him any real harm.

Wood Release: Thorn Killing Technique

Obito's Wood Release chakra surged forth, transforming into bent wood that firmly bound the Fourth Raikage.

"what!"

The Fourth Raikage roared, his body crackling with lightning, forcefully breaking free from the wooden restraints. He turned and threw a powerful punch, colliding with the incoming fireball.

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage"

Several masks emerged from Kakuzu's body, one of which opened its mouth and spewed out a large amount of Wind Release chakra, forming a violent storm that blew towards the Fourth Raikage.

The Fourth Raikage pushed off with his feet, his body rapidly retreating. At the same time, he strengthened his body with Lightning Release chakra, forcibly withstanding the onslaught of the storm.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique

On the other side, Yun was already close to Killer Bee, spewing out a huge black fireball from his mouth.

Black flames!

This is a flame that he cultivated by referencing Amaterasu. It may not be as good as the original Amaterasu in terms of characteristics, but its power is close to that of Amaterasu!

After unleashing the Fireball Jutsu, Yun used the Body Flicker Technique to continue approaching Killer Bee from the side.

"Thunder-Plowed Hot Knife"

Killer Bee was enveloped in blue light, which turned red in the next instant, the lightning disappeared, and the tailed beast-like skeleton appeared at his elbow.

As the two collided, Yun simultaneously approached Killer Bee from the side, his chakra rods ready.

"Hmm?" Seemingly sensing the danger, Killer Bee's chakra-condensed octopus-like tail suddenly slammed into the ground.

"As expected, the Tailed Beasts have very strong sensory abilities."

Yun did not retract the black rod in his hand. He used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to continue approaching Killer Bee, intending to insert the black rod into the opponent's body.

His speed was incredibly fast, no less than that of the Fourth Raikage!

Even Killer Bee, who was used to partnering with the Fourth Raikage, couldn't catch a glimpse of Yun for a while.

"careful!"

A warning came from the Eight-Tails inside his body, and Killer Bee immediately leaped away from where he stood.

"boom!"

A black rod was inserted straight into the ground where Killer Bee had originally been.

"This is?"

"Killer Bee, we can't let those black rods get in!" Just as Killer Bee was wondering, the Eight-Tails' voice, tinged with fear, came from within him.

"Compare!"

Seeing Killer Bee in trouble, the Fourth Raikage roared and his Lightning Release chakra surged once again.

Yun sensed the movement of the Fourth Raikage and couldn't help but think to himself, "What's going on?"

Is this some kind of power surge?

The Fourth Raikage, his body enveloped in lightning, waved his hands, instantly converging powerful and violent lightning that struck towards Obito and Kakuzu.

Sensing the power of the lightning, both adopted a defensive stance. Obito used Kamui to dodge, while Kakuzu used his Five Elements Defense Ninjutsu.

"This is... a Shadow-level?"

Yun's true strength was far beyond what he had shown, so he still had the energy to observe the battle and was somewhat surprised to witness the Fourth Raikage's outburst.

The Fourth Raikage is currently in a state that completely overwhelms Kage-level opponents; it would be no exaggeration to call him a Super Kage-level being.

Of course, it seems to put a lot of strain on his body, otherwise he wouldn't have only just started using it now.

"Sigh, this is such a headache. I can't reveal my true strength, and I have to play along with these people."

Yun was somewhat troubled.

However, we still have to finish this act.

He turned around, instinctively raising the black stick in front of him.

"One-piece technique"

The Fourth Raikage appeared before Yun, his right index finger condensing Lightning Release chakra into a tangible form, colliding with the black rod in Yun's hand.

Yun flew backward, and the black stick in his hand broke in two.

"Whoo~"

Killer Bee could clearly feel the Eight-Tails breathing relaxed inside him.

"withdraw!"

Yun dropped the black rod and fled towards the edge of Cloud Village.

Obito disappeared after using Kamui, while Kakuzu had already been hit by the Fourth Raikage and, after being seriously injured, began to flee.

Chapter 444 The Five Shadows Conference

The Akatsuki attacked Kumogakure again, and their objective was obvious. Konoha was on high alert after receiving the news, to prevent being caught off guard by the Akatsuki.

After all, although Kumogakure ultimately managed to defeat the three Akatsuki members after the Fourth Raikage unleashed Kage-level power, the village's losses could not be concealed in any way.

With the aid of health preservation techniques, even ninjas who were previously stuck at a certain peak have made some progress.

Among them, the village leaders, who possess the latest research findings of their respective villages, are the most proficient in cultivating health preservation techniques, and their strength has also made some breakthroughs.

However, unlike the strength that can be obtained after advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, the methods used by these so-called Super Shadow level combatants still put a strain on their bodies, and they would not use them casually under normal circumstances.

Just like Kakashi, who is short on mana, won't use Raikiri if the situation allows.

After the cultivation system spread, the Fourth Raikage was arguably the first strong person to reveal his true strength.

This also means that the impact of health preservation techniques on the entire ninja system is enormous.

The reason why he has always been stuck at the peak of the Shadow level, apart from the problem of accumulation, is actually due to a lack of talent.

With the aid of health preservation techniques, it is possible to help a Kage-level expert unleash super Kage-level combat power in a short period of time. Isn't that a huge impact?

That's Kage-level!

Throughout the history of the ninja world, only a handful of such individuals have appeared in each era.

Most of them were still monopolized by the Senju and Uchiha clans.

The most prosperous period was at the end of the Warring States period, when there were the most Kage-level individuals. Hashirama Senju of the Senju clan and Madara Uchiha of the Uchiha clan were in the strongest tier, followed by the heads of the Kaguya and Hyuga clans, and Mito Uzumaki of the Uzumaki clan, Hashirama's wife. Moreover, this group would be considered formidable even among all the so-called Kage-level figures throughout history!

The Akatsuki attacked the ninja village again, and the impact was greater than expected.

Before their exposure, the major ninja villages were unaware of Akatsuki's strength and were able to tolerate it. However, as Akatsuki captured tailed beasts and even attacked the Sage Mode to plunder them, the entire ninja world truly realized the power of this organization.

In fact, compared to the "honest" organization, the Akatsuki organization is far more unconventional.

That's not all. After a year of peace following the theft of the tailed beast, they started causing trouble again.

To be honest, with the Akatsuki's strength, no ninja village could withstand their attack!

Even Konoha would be in danger under a full-scale attack.

It is for this reason that the five great ninja villages plan to hold a Five Kage Summit.

The location was decided to be the Land of Iron.

A neutral country with considerable military strength.

The five great ninja villages were not very clear about the development of the Land of Iron over the past year, but they had heard some things and knew that they had also made great progress in the art of self-cultivation and their strength had become even greater.

That is precisely why bringing the Land of Iron into the picture can alleviate a lot of the pressure.

The five great ninja villages, plus the samurai of the Land of Iron, actually make up the combined strength of the six great ninja villages!

The Five Kage Summit was held, and Teru continued his intelligence gathering mission in the Land of Rain.

The Land of Iron.

Beside the enormous round table, Mifune, the host from the Land of Iron, sat in the center to mediate, while the Kage of the five great ninja villages sat around the table, each with someone behind them offering advice.

The shadow is often just a symbol, representing the wielder of supreme power, but that doesn't mean they don't need advisors.

The advisor to Minato Namikaze of Konoha is undoubtedly Shikaku Nara, the "shika" of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

On the Cloud Village side, the Fourth Raikage remained silent with a somber expression, a small, thin, dark-skinned man named Darui standing silently behind him. On the Sun Village side, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was accompanied by Ebizo, who had been forced to return to his elder position after retirement. On the Kirigakure side, Shin leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, Ao standing behind him.

On the Iwagakure side, there's Onoki and Koto, well, the least prominent. Iwagakure suffers from a lack of talent in all aspects.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get straight to the point."

Unlike the original story, the Akatsuki's combat strength was revealed very thoroughly. Pain led the Six Paths puppets to attack Iwagakure, and his strength was beyond doubt. When attacking the Sage Organization, he not only exposed all of its members.

Combined with various other factors, the five great ninja villages now harbor deep hatred for the Akatsuki organization.

Having just been provoked, Kumogakure doesn't have many other thoughts at the moment. They have only one goal: to launch a war and wipe out the Akatsuki!

Iwagakure had a similar idea, after all, the two Jinchuriki were among the few Kage-level fighters in Iwagakure, and their capture by Akatsuki was a heavy loss.

There's absolutely no problem with Kirigakure. As for Konoha, they're only worried about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and have no reason to object.

Sunagakure Village?

Will they be able to escape at this point?

With the five great ninja villages uniting, Sunagakure also needs to use the alliance of the five great ninja villages to give the Sage Organization a good thrashing.

However, just as the leaders of the various ninja villages reached a consensus and were preparing to make a decision, an uninvited guest arrived.
