Naruto: Pay-to-Win Ninja System

"Boss!"

"Raikage-sama!"

A group of Kumo shinobi, blown away by the shockwave, shouted frantically.

They didn't care about the shattered training ground or the crumbling peaks—their sole concern was their Raikage's life!

After all, he was the very pillar of Kumogakure!

"Don't come over here! All of you, stay back!"

"Cough, cough—"

From within the giant crater came the furious roar of Raikage A.

Despite the intense pain throughout his body, he gritted his teeth and stood up from the rubble at the bottom of the pit.

Although he was already certain—

That he probably couldn't defeat this 'Perfect Susano'o'!

Still, as the Raikage and a proud son of Kumogakure,

Unless killed in battle, he would never allow himself to surrender while he still had strength left!

Raikage A took a deep breath,

Once again channeling chakra to reform his [Lightning Release: Maximum Protection].

Then, he leaped upward, forcefully unleashing his Ultimate Art.

"Raikō Horizontal Slash: Chiyo Dance!"

[Forged through life-risking training, refined into a radiant, inherited hand blade!]

This was his most devastating move—one strike could cleave through half a mountain without effort!

Unfortunately, before Raikage A could finish rising and twist midair,

"Pa—!"

Shimoku's Susano'o suddenly swung a massive slap straight toward him.

It struck the Raikage directly,

Like swatting a fly with a flyswatter,

Forcing him back down hard, crashing into the mountainside—

Or more accurately, into what remained of the half-collapsed mountaintop...

"Ahh, feels damn good! So freakin' awesome!"

"You wanted to act tough and arrogant? Now you know how it feels?"

Shimoku clenched Susanoo's right fist, a satisfied sigh escaping his lips.

This Perfect Susano'o was indeed terrifyingly powerful! Far surpassing anything before!

With such overwhelming power in hand, no wonder Lord Madara couldn't resist showing off every now and then.

Even Shimoku felt like showing off a little dance himself.

However, truth be told,

The Fourth Raikage A's taijutsu skills were genuinely impressive.

Just now, that "Raikō Horizontal Slash: Chiyo Dance"

Had actually cracked several lines into the right arm of his Perfect Susano'o.

Of course, those minor cracks

Healed almost instantly under the immense chakra of Shimoku's [Sage Body].

But still, that was enough to prove—

This Raikage really knew what he was doing.

After all, if you swapped him out for any average ninja—even if they poured every ounce of strength into attacking the Perfect Susano'o, it'd still barely tickle…

"No more! No more fighting!"

"We surrender!"

"Lord Shimoku, please show mercy!"

Far away, Xi and the other Raikage guards who had been blown back by the shockwave quickly scrambled up and rushed over.

They shouted desperately at the towering Susano'o deity, begging for mercy.

If the fight continued, their Raikage might very well lose his life!

They couldn't keep going!

In response, Shimoku completely ignored them.

You think just because you say stop, I'll stop? That'd make me seem soft.

"Riyō, has three minutes passed yet?"

"Report, Young Master! Not yet! Twenty seconds remain!"

Upon hearing this, Shimoku grinned.

"Twenty seconds left, huh? Then let me add a few more punches!"

"Raikage-sama, if you can't hold on and die halfway, don't blame me!"

BOOM!

As his words fell, the massive fist of Susanoo ruthlessly slammed down again.

It crushed what remained of half a mountain,

And sent Raikage A flying from where he was pinned inside the mountainside!

Moreover, this blow shattered the [Lightning Release: Maximum Protection] that covered Raikage A's body, greatly reducing his defense.

At this rate,

Just three more punches would surely finish off Raikage A!

No wonder Shimoku had gone so hard.

After all, this [Kumo village] hadn't treated them with any courtesy from the beginning. Instead, they repeatedly tested and oppressed him.

Plus, when the Raikage first attacked earlier, he held absolutely nothing back.

Looking every bit like he wanted to cripple Shimoku permanently.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Now as Shimoku struck back, he naturally felt no psychological burden at all.

"Crash!"

Another punch flew.

Raikage A, who had just spat out a large mouthful of blood, was once again instantly sent flying midair—

This happened just as he began forming half of his [Lightning Release Armor].

He smashed right through two entire mountains and was then slammed bone-breaking into the cliffside of a third.

"Huuaa—"

Shimoku controlled Susanoo, transforming a pair of chakra wings to carry himself.

Then he flew upward.

Flying straight toward the distant Raikage A.

From the looks of it, one final strike should send that old Raikage straight to Heaven.

...

However, just halfway through the flight,

Using his 'Sage Body' and 'Spirit Transformation Technique' to heighten his sensory perception,

Shimoku clearly sensed a sharp, thick killing intent suddenly surging from far away to his right!

In one-thousandth of a second,

Without hesitation,

Shimoku drew his sword, unsheathed it, and swung in one swift motion.

A 300-meter-long Divine Sword Kunwu, spiritualized into its crystalline form, was immediately yanked out by Susanoo and slashed forward.

It fired a scarlet, brilliant blade aura over a thousand meters long.

As though splitting heaven and earth with a setting sun, dazzling and magnificent!

At the same time, that enormous [Tailed Beast Ball], flying at high speed, was also cut cleanly in half by this dazzling slash.

Then it exploded!

Orange energy light swallowed everything whole, even enveloping the Susanoo itself.

Of course, if it were a full-powered [Tailed Beast Ball], it might actually cause some damage to the 'complete-form Susanoo'.

Unfortunately, this [Tailed Beast Ball] had already been sliced apart by Shimoku, disrupting the internal chakra balance.

The explosion power was less than a third of its original strength.

Not even strong enough to scratch the Susanoo at full power.

...

Meanwhile, far away,

Thousands of meters distant,

A massive octopus-like beast with a terrifying aura wrapped itself around a mountaintop, facing directly toward the distant Susanoo Demigod.

Without doubt, this was the current Eight-Tails Jinchuriki—Killer Bee—who arrived upon hearing the news from the Kumo village.

Earlier, while casually rapping as always,

Suddenly, from afar, he sensed a shocking surge of chakra—an immense presence rivaling even tailed beasts.

Let him think it's an attack from a Tailed Beast belonging to another village.

That's why he rushed here without hesitation and directly entered "Complete Tailed Beast Transformation", revealing the true form of Gyuki.

"This is impossible! What the hell is that thing?"

"That thing actually cut through a [Tailed Beast Ball]!"

Inside Gyuki, watching the suspended demon god figure in the distance, Killer Bee couldn't help but widen his eyes and blurt out in shock.

Even his usual favorite rap flow slipped his mind.

"B! Don't be careless!"

"That's a [Perfect Susanoo]. I've seen that human Madara Uchiha use it before. It's extremely powerful!"

"It's said even the Nine-Horned Rhinoceros isn't a match for that thing!"

Gyuki quickly warned, his voice laced with caution.

After all, those two guys from Konoha back then were nightmares for all the Tailed Beasts!

"That guy seems to be fighting Brother! What should we do?"

Killer Bee called out anxiously, chasing after him.

Gyuki immediately responded:

"B, create distance from him!"

"Don't engage him head-on. His sword is strange."

"It's a divine weapon unlike anything I've ever seen!"

"If he gets close enough, a sword capable of cleaving through Tailed Beast Balls can also kill me!"

Standing seventy or eighty meters tall, Gyuki was already considered a colossal being.

Yet compared to the four- or five-hundred-meter Perfect Susanoo, he still seemed rather small.

If he really got cornered,

That Susano'o Demigod, even without using swords,

Could probably tear Gyuki apart with bare hands and then host a grilled octopus-tentacle feast.

"Alright!"

"Witness my power! Baka Yarō, Kono Yarō, YEAH!"

Killer Bee didn't hesitate and immediately cooperated with Gyuki.

As he fell back, he started forming [Tailed Beast Balls] and blasted them wildly at Shimoku's Susano'o.

"Continuous Tailed Beast Balls!"
