BXBX NOVEL Chapter 708
Chapter 708: The Loss of Raikage
What followed after the collision was the turbulent shockwave that swept the surroundings like a tornado, in the aftermath, even the sturdiest of trees could not help but break and fly away uncontrollably, so what could mere Kumogakure shinobi do in the face of such a natural disaster? They too lost their footing and scattered around.
Fortunately, Killer Bee was also present on the battlefield––he was able to resist the shockwave using version 2 Tailed-beast mode––and saved all the Kumogakure Shinobi thrown away by the wind using the eight tails of Gyūki.
…
On the main battlefield.
After easily resisting the attack of Yondaime Raikage, Danzō grinned menacingly, and said, “Is this the best you can do? Are you not angry enough? Should I do things that would make you angrier?”
Bathing in the thunder and lightning, Raikage’s brows twitched hearing Danzō’s mockery, he tightened his fist in anger and cursed while glaring at Danzō, “Damn you bastard!”
Danzō snickered, “You know you don’t stand a chance against me, then why bother? You might be able to put some resistance if you call the Jinchuriki of Hachibi and let him join the battle.”
Seeing Ay silent and not doing anything, Danzō sighed, “Or not, and you can come to me on your own… Even I am interested in seeing what you would do when I completely crush you. Hmm, maybe after killing you, I will go to Kumogakure and temporarily take over it before returning to Konoha and officially becoming Hokage.”
Having slaughtered over a hundred Kusagakure Shinobi, and defeated the Six Paths of Pain as well as Konan of the Akatsuki Organization, Danzō is no longer interested in hiding his strength or acting as if he is suffering from Schizophrenia or has some kind of problem with his soul, so when faced with Raikage’s question earlier about whether he is Danzō or Hamu, his answer was plain and simple, and it was the Roar of his Susano’o.
Today’s Danzō has gained a rough understanding of how strong he is. Basically, as long as he doesn’t encounter Yama, and probably Nagato too, he is invincible, and he believes that as long as his Dojutsu evolves further, he will surpass both Yama and Nagato and become the strongest in this Shinobi world.
This feeling of having infinite power in his hands has made in drunk, addicted, and has extricated him from all binds. Now he no longer cares about his image or has fully let go of all his restraints. Even against the Kusagakure army, Danzō knows that he could have easily fooled them and run away, but he didn’t, the killing intent within him wanted to slaughter all of them as he couldn’t tolerate their transgression of coming in his way or wanting to steal his Dojutsu, and he did exactly as he desired, he slaughtered those hundreds of Kusagakure shinobi in the most brutal way he could think of, and it was fun!
Hearing Danzō’s intention of taking over Kumogakure, Ay growled, “Danzō! You have finally done it! A criminal like you is unworthy of leading my village! As the Raikage, I will never allow it, here and now, I will put an end to your life!”
As he declared, Ay roared at the same time, and activated his Lightning Chakra Mode to the utmost limit, immediately his chakra flared up, the blacks in his eyes disappeared, muscles started vibrating at extreme speed and his hair stood up like a hedgehog.
Killer Bee, who was on the side saw his elder brother using this mode, and he instantly knew that his brother is extremely serious about killing Danzō.
Boom!
The next thing that everyone heard was a deafening rumbling of thunder, as Raikage in the ultimate state of his Lightning Chakra Mode punched Danzō’s Susano’o.
Crack!
A series of cracks immediately appeared on the sturdy Susano’o under Ay’s punch.
“Hooh, that’s unexpected!” muttered Danzō, somewhat surprised.
ZZzzzz
But before he could do anything to retaliate, Ay disappeared, and at the same instant appeared behind Susano’o.
Boom!
Another rumble sounded.
Crack!
More cracks appeared on the Susano’o.
As Danzō turned around, the figure of Raikage was already missing.
Boom!
Another rumble and more cracks.
Crack!
And so began the one-sided assault. The rumbling sound continued to sound on the battlefield, while Ay, who has raised his speed past the speed of sound was nowhere to be seen, only the lightning covering his body could be seen as he launched a barrage of punches and kicks on Danzō’s Susano’o.
Under Raikage’s continuous and uninterrupted assault, the cracks on Danzō’s Susano’o became more and more conspicuous, and it didn’t take very long when Ay made his final move, ‘Lightning Style: Liger Bomb!’ that shattered the entire Susano’o.
BOOM!
An explosion occurred, and at the same instant the Susano’o shattered into countless pieces, suddenly a Bijuudama was fired at Danzō by Killer Bee.
BOOOM!
The Bijuudama hit Danzō’s body and caused a great explosion.
The entire forest in the surroundings disappeared and dust clouds rose.
Looking at this scene, the surrounding Kumogakure shinobi couldn’t help but cheer.
“A success?!”
“Obviously! Who can survive a Bee-sama’s Bijuudama?”
Such comments were heard, but when the dust cleared everyone saw a completely alright Danzō with no sign of injury on his body.
Looking at Danzō, everyone’s expression turned pale, “What the hell?!”
Some of them carefully observed him and noticed that parts of his body were shining, it was the result of sunlight being reflected, and that’s when one of the Kumogakure Shinobi realized, “He has a very dense layer of Crystal on his body, and he was able to protect himself using that crystal layer… If we want to kill him, we have to find a way to pass that crystal layer.”
Hearing these words, some were angered, some were panicked, and some started brainstorming ideas, looking at all of them, Danzō chuckled, “It’s useless… No matter what you lot do, you don’t have enough strength to hurt me, nor are any of you means going to be useful against me for I am the very definition of a perfect Shinobi, I am the most perfect shinobi in this world!”
As Danzō left these words, he marked everyone’s position with his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, then weaved a few hand seals and lifter both of his hands.
Instantly, countless tree vines swarmed out of his hands and started binding all the Kumogakure shinobis.
At the same time, Danzō’s eyes narrowed and another Susano’o appeared in front of everyone, nobody had the time to react to this change as everyone was busy dodging or fighting the tree vines pursuing them. Using this opportunity, Danzō sneaked behind Ay and grabbed the burly man with the hand of his Susano’o.
Seeing Raikage captured, Killer Bee––who has been able to resist the tree vines so far––panicked, “Brother!” he sprouted all the eight tails and prepared to fight Danzō.
But Killer Bee couldn’t put much of a fight as the number of tree vines attacking him increased exponentially, and within a few moments, Killer Bee was firmly imprisoned by trees, unable to even stand up as the tree vines wrapped around him continuously drained his chakra and grew tighter and tougher each second.
With all the Kumogakure Shinobi either dead or captured, Danzō glanced at Raikage playfully and asked, “Is there anything else you can do?”
Raikage gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, he struggled and tried to break free but to no avail, helpless, Ay couldn’t help but think, ‘How did Shimura Danzō become so strong, this level of strength is completely out of the concept, it’s as if he has reached the level of Yama and Nagato!’
Since no reply came from Raikage, Danzō snorted coldly, and boldly declared, “This day marks the dawn of the era of Five Great Shinobi Villages, I will personally put an end to the rules of all five great shinobi villages, and start the age of Gods, where I will unite the entire world and rule over it as the only God after I kill Nagato and Yam–!”
Before he could finish his words, from the corner of his eyes, Danzō saw a small paper butterfly fluttering in the air. As soon as he saw that small creature, Danzō’s expression shrank, think of the possibility that Nagato may come after him, Danzō immediately let go of Raikage and quickly disappeared from the battlefield using Swift Release.
