Chapter 276: Chapter 276: The Chaos in the Hidden Cloud Village Begins
"Earlier, I saw two people sneaking around the village, asking everywhere about the Two-Tails Jinchūriki. I didn't expect someone would actually dare to target our Hidden Cloud Village's Jinchūriki!"
"These two seem to be the same ones who appeared when the Hidden Sand Village was looking for their Jinchūriki!"
"That's right! Their appearance matches exactly, and their clothes are identical as well."
As the Hidden Cloud shinobi spoke, they each showed excited smiles instead.
As expected from a village of the battle-hardened faction.
When trouble comes knocking, their first reaction is excitement.
The first wave of shinobi was dispatched, and soon there would be a second and third wave.
At this moment, Sasori if he still had a human body would undoubtedly look extremely grim.
Although Deidara was also frustrated, he couldn't stand the arrogant demeanor of the Hidden Cloud shinobi.
After all, there was already bad blood between the Hidden Cloud and Hidden Stone. Since they were discovered, they might as well create a big commotion!
"You idiots! Since you've found us, let me show you the art of the great Deidara!"
Deidara pulled out his explosive clay.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions rang out on the outskirts of the Hidden Cloud Village.
At that moment, inside the Raikage's office...
The Fourth Raikage glared at the shinobi standing before him.
"What did you say? Someone dares to invade my Hidden Cloud Village?"
The Cloud shinobi who came to report the situation initially thought the Raikage would erupt in fury.
But in the next second, hearty laughter echoed through the room.
"Hahaha!"
"Impressive! Someone dares to cause trouble in the Hidden Cloud Village. It's perfect timing I haven't had any action in a while!"
"Those same individuals who showed up in the Hidden Sand Village are now here in the Hidden Cloud. I'd like to see what these people are capable of!"
Though the Raikage appeared rough on the outside, his true intention was to capture these individuals and interrogate them thoroughly to uncover their motives.
These people were no ordinary foes.
First, it was the Hidden Sand Village, and now it was his Hidden Cloud Village. Their targets were the Jinchūriki.
After the One-Tail, the next target was the Two-Tails. Clearly, there was some conspiracy afoot.
"Let's go!"
"I'll handle this personally and see what these bastards are made of for daring to invade the Hidden Cloud Village. They're courting death..."
One by one, the Hidden Cloud shinobi mobilized.
They darted through the air above the village.
Hidden in a corner below, Sasuke and Kimimaro glanced toward Sasori and Deidara's location.
"Good luck to you two!"
"Art… naturally needs a larger audience to show its true value!"
Sasuke smiled slightly.
Perhaps this time, he might witness the 'Pakkun Star.'
The ultimate art of Deidara.
However, Sasuke had no time to wait for the Pakkun Star to appear; he turned and headed in another direction.
Both moved swiftly and skillfully. Despite the mobilization of so many Cloud shinobi, they darted through the buildings below without being detected.
The speed of Sasuke and Kimimaro was beyond what ordinary shinobi could keep up with.
The Eight-Tails Jinchūriki.
Killer Bee.
He was located in a sealed lake at the rear of the Hidden Cloud Village.
This was also Killer Bee's training ground.
For such a loud and boisterous person to focus on training in such a secluded place was indeed surprising.
Arriving at the barrier's perimeter...
For Sasuke, such a barrier posed no challenge.
The Hidden Cloud Village was not skilled in this type of technique. As a battle-oriented village, they excelled in combat instead.
Staring at the barrier, Sasuke thought it necessary to prepare in advance.
In the original story, the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki managed to escape the Hidden Cloud Village by sacrificing one of his octopus tentacles.
Sasuke had no intention of repeating the mistakes from before.
Taking out the Sealing Scroll, Sasuke began flipping through it.
Kimimaro, puzzled, wondered what Sasuke was looking for.
"The Four Red Yang Formation!"
"As expected… it's recorded here as well."
After skimming the details, Sasuke understood how to execute it.
At its core, it was a special application of chakra.
Sasuke raised his hand and directly performed a jutsu.
"Wood Release: Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
The combination of the Shadow Clone Jutsu and the Wood Clone Technique!
The Wood Release: Shadow Clone Jutsu was a technique only Madara originally used.
But now that Sasuke had mastered the Shadow Clone Jutsu, it wasn't too hard for him to deduce how to combine the two.
Given Sasuke's talent, it wasn't a particularly difficult feat.
[Congratulations to the host for mastering a new jutsu]
[Wood Release ~ Shadow Clone Jutsu (Beginner)]
Watching the clones split from Sasuke, Kimimaro was momentarily stunned.
Then, four Wood Clones leapt in four different directions.
Leaving Sasuke and Kimimaro behind.
Without explaining further, Sasuke raised his hand and used a sealing technique to break the barrier, creating an entrance.
He turned to Kimimaro and said, "I'll leave holding off the enemies to you!"
Kimimaro nodded.
"Rest assured, Sasuke-sama!"
Sasuke nodded and stepped through the barrier.
Passing a rocky path, he arrived at the edge of a vast lake.
In the center of the lake, on a small stone platform, sat a man fishing.
Judging by his attire and the seven swords on his back, there was no doubt it was Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki.
Sasuke stepped onto the lake, walking steadily and leisurely toward Killer Bee.
At that moment, Killer Bee seemed to sense Sasuke's presence and turned his head in surprise.
"Huh?"
"Who are you? How did you sneak in here unnoticed?"
Killer Bee had no knowledge of the Akatsuki's intelligence. Though Sasuke was dressed in Akatsuki attire, Killer Bee merely saw him as a peculiar-looking kid.
As Sasuke walked, he smiled and said, "Don't worry about who I am or how I got here."
"The only question now is how long you can last against me!"
"Eight-Tails Jinchūriki, Killer Bee!"
Hearing this, Killer Bee frowned.
This kid knew his identity and, judging by his tone, had come specifically to challenge him?
Heh!
Kids these days were so arrogant!
But sensing Sasuke's chakra, it was clear… he wasn't weak…
