Chapter 244: Chapter – 241 Kumogakure’s A-B Combo
With an ear-piercing sound, a huge explosion took place in the sky!
Homusubi did not have enough time to react, just as the skeletal body of the Susanoo armor covered over him, the Bijuudama that was coming towards him at an incredibly fast speed collided with the Susanoo causing a massive explosion, it not only produced a huge rumbling sound there was also terrible air pressure that knocked him and Fujin away.
Huala… Huala… Whoosh…
During the fall, Homusubi still had Tinnitus and could barely hear the screaming wind in the ear.
At this moment he was both dizzy and, in a stupor, and lost control over his body as if his nervous system was a bit unresponsive, being unable to even control his thought process, Homusubi wasn't able to confirm what happened to the Kazekage puppet who was disguised as Fujin.
Slowly and steadily, he was able to get some air in his lungs and finally regain his thought process, after taking in a few deep breaths during the continued fall, Homusubi managed to get rid of the dizziness, although his ears were still buzzing, he started to hear some of the things around him and trust me it's really not of the best experience to fall be falling from such a high altitude.
Gulping down the surging blood down his throat, Homusubi tried to adjust his falling posture, if he was going to be injured then it was better to be injured in a way that would at least not affect his mobility.
After some twists here and turns there, he was finally able to adjust his falling posture, soon his eyes widened as he spotted Fujin that was not far away from him and was similarly falling down to the ground.
Now there was some hope to be able to land safely but the problem is that most of the Iron Sand around the puppet that is used to fend off against the incoming Bijuudama was blown away by the explosion caused by it, as a result, the puppet's control over the blown away iron sand was lost, so, at this time, only a small amount of iron sand was left around.
"Perfect… just perfect!" – Homusubi cursed in annoyance and unstoppable anger started taking over him, but I guess there is no use in complaining, the fact that the Kazekage puppet managed to help in bear a Bijuudama alone is worth the praise, having too many expectations is only going to lead to disappointments.
Taking ad deep breath Homusubi calmed his emotions and thought, 'What was that just now, I rarely lose control over my emotions, so how could I have gotten angry? Is it possible that the Sharingan is affecting my emotions?'
After just a momentary thought, Homusubi put it at the back of his mind to consider it again in the future, currently, he did not have enough time to be entangled with this issue.
Closing his eyes, Homusubi focused on sensing his connection with the puppet and was soon able to reestablish the telepathic link between the two and confirmed that there were no serious damages on the puppet as the explosion was majorly tanked by the Yaoyorozu hardened Susano'o.
The only problem was temporary chakra system disordering making the puppet non-responsive for a short while but now that the telepathic link was reestablished the puppet was working to stabilize as soon as it can and will shortly be back to a functioning state.
After confirming that the puppet will soon recover, Homusubi who was midway down the fall looked in the direction that the Bijuudama came from.
The attack was all too sudden and with how fast a Bijuudama travels, Homusubi was unable to notice the exact direction it was fired from, fortunately, he was able to use Yaoyorozu hardened Susanoo to shield against most of the damage, causing both him and the puppet to only suffer some extent of damage and violent shock, otherwise, if both of them were directly hit by Bijuudama, then let alone an arm or leg, not even bones would have been left by the time dust of the explosion would have cleared away.
While he was searching for the exact direction that the Bijuudama came from, Homusubi's expression turned into a solemn one, this is because he was able to notice a row of dust clouds that was continuously rising and was moving in the same direction that he was falling in. Aside from that, there was also a faint sound of lightning flickering and someone running towards this side while plowing the ground.
Seeing that faint glow of lightning amidst the dust and smoke, Homusubi's expression condensed, "That has to be Yondaime Raikage!"
No one other than Yondaime Raikage can have such violent Lightning Chakra Nature, at this point in the timeline, therefore, Homusubi did not need to think about it too deeply, as only Yondaime Raikage who bears the title of the current fastest Shinobi can have Lightning Chakra that could even rival that of a Bijuu!
As soon as he realized this, he can't help but feel a bit depressed, if only he was in his main body right now, not only would he have sensed the incoming Bijuudama before it was even fired but would have also absorbed it pretty easily. And he could have also thrashed the Yondaime Raikage who would have lost his title as the fastest shinobi alive.
Alas, that's just wishful thinking, the Mangekyou Sharingan might also grant high-level insight and all but it does not give you three-sixty-degree vision, unlike the Byakugan and the Tenseigan.
While Homusubi was mulling over this, the Kazekage puppet regained complete control over its body as such he was able to use Magnet Release, controlled the remaining Iron Sand to form a smaller pair of Iron Sand wings, and immediately flew towards Homusubi, caught him mid-flight and controlled the falling speed such that the two of them somehow managed to offset most of the impact and safely landed on the ground.
As soon as he landed, Homusubi noticed the tremors on the ground coming closer and closer as such he understood that Yondaime Raikage would soon arrive, so regardless of the burden that this clone body would bear, he again urged his Chakra and used Susanoo to defend against the incoming attack.
In an instant, the Mangekyou wheel spinning in his eyes shed bloody tears, and the golden-orange chakra phantom emerged with a roar.
From bones to musculature, then the golden flame armor and the two swords on the two hands appeared, while the other two hands were kept free and in just a few breaths the half-body Susanoo was ready for the warfare!
Thump… Thump…
'He is here!' – Just as Homusubi thought this, suddenly something flew out of the smoke cover with a whistling sound that carried buzzing of lightning along with it and directly pounced on the Golden Chakra Phantom.
Whoosh… Zzzz…
At the moment that something appeared out of the cover of smoke, Homusubi was able to easily notice that it was just an ordinarily massive boulder, therefore, instead of taking any rash action, he controlled Susanoo to shatter that giant boulder to pieces with a…
UNITED STATE OF SMMmmmmmaaaashhHHHH...…
BOOOoooomM…
The giant boulder, which was thrown by Raikage as a feint was shattered to hundreds of pieces with just one punch.
The splattered gravel and rock chips flew everywhere like tiny raindrops, while Homusubi also blinked subconsciously.
Whoosh…
And just as he opened his eyelids past the blink, another shadow jumped out of the cover of smoke, but the difference this time was that this shadow had a blue aura around it, to be more specific, this shadow was clad in a blue Lightning Chakra Armor.
"Raikage!" – as soon as Homusubi's words fell, the Yondaime Raikage who was already clad in the violent Lightning Chakra Armor jumped out of the smoke cover and pounced on the Susanoo with all his might, overturned it in the process.
The overturned Susanoo knocked down several trees on the way, Homusubi who was finally able to stabilize his figure spoke in wonder, "Was Yondaime Raikage always so fast and strong!?"
Although he knows that Yondaime Raikage is incredibly fast while using the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he was still very surprised when actually facing the real deal.
Thinking of Raikage's incredible speed, he can't help but wonder, 'Will Shisui be able to reach such speed? And if he will, by when?'
While Homusubi was thinking that another person appeared on the battlefield.
Looking at the shinobi who was wearing oval-shaped sunglasses and carrying seven swords on his back, Homusubi instantly realized who this person is, and his face sank because it is none other than Killer Bee, the Jinchuriki of Hachibi!
'Kumogakure's A-B combo!?' – Homusubi muttered in surprise.
After turning over the Susanoo, Raikage landed on top of a tree and shouted at Homusubi, "You two are the members of this so-called Amatsukami? Come on! It's time for you to pay the debt you owed to Kumogakure for killing Watanabe!"
Although A-B Combo was standing in front of him, Homusubi was not panicked and replied calmly, "Although I am a little surprised that Yondaime Raikage would personally come here, and it's hilarious that the so-called great shinobi villages have fallen so low that they are colluding together to deal with a mere mercenary organization, but regardless of all that, whether you can make me pay the debt I owe to your village or not depends on whether you have the ability or not."
"You Bastard!" – the already fuming Raikage was further angered by Homusubi's words, "You think that just because you have gained the Mangekyou Sharingan you will be able to escape? Today is the day that I will extract out all of the debts you of Amatsukami has ever owed in your whole life!"
Finishing the sentence, he suddenly disappeared and the next instant flashed directly next to Homusubi.
But this time, Homusubi was prepared, he has already activated Yaoyorozu and strengthened this clone body and Susano'o, coupled with the Mangekyou Sharingan, even if Raikage's movements were extremely fast, they didn't go unnoticed by him, just based on the trajectory he was taking, Homusubi was able to judge the direction he would be taking and controlled the Susanoo to wave a chakra sword!
Slash…!
The chakra sword swept across the ground, evenly cutting off everything in its path!
However, just at the moment, it was about to chop the Raikage in half, several octopus' legs came out of Killer Bee; clutched the Susanoo's arm that was waving the sword!

Chapter 245: Chapter – 242 Unruly Ay!
While Homusubi started battling Killer Bee and his eight octopus' tails, the Yondaime Raikage again turned into a blue flash of light that traveled from one position to another rapidly, and taking advantage of the fact that Homusubi was busy in battle, he again pounced at the Susanoo's chest and punched with all his strength.
Crack…
Followed by a crisp sound, the upper armor and some of the bones of Susanoo cracked inch-by-inch, and soon the cracks spread to some parts of Susanoo…
But Raikage wasn't finished there…
Elbow Bolt, Lightning Oppression Horizontal, Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop, Lightning Straight, were some of the attacks used by him one-after-another, without even giving Homusubi any time to take a breath who was busy fighting Killer Bee.
Boom…
Once again, a heavy fist slammed…
Boom…
Again!
Boom…
Again!
Boom… the Raikage's fist that was especially heavy this time again slammed at the cracked chest of the Susanoo, finally, the Susanoo couldn't bear the damage anymore and with a loud noise, it was completely shattered from the front.
Seeing that there was an opening, his figure again flashed and broke inside the Susanoo, leaping high, he rushed towards Homusubi while shouting, "Go to hell!"
Homusubi's face inside the mask was a bit panicked, this A-B combo turned out to be completely unreasonable that he didn't even know what to say anymore.
Firstly, Homusubi didn't expect that in just a few years Raikage has become so reckless that he dared to use pure brute force with Lightning Release Chakra Armor to battle with Susanoo.
And what's more surprising is that he actually managed to get past the so-called unbreakable defense of Susanoo.
While Homusubi was a bit panicked as Raikage was approaching him and was just about to hit him, suddenly a black barrier made of iron sand appeared between the two while another arm of iron sand dragged Homusubi backward.
Raikage's attacks obviously pierced through the Iron Sand barrier but it also created a short time window for Homusubi before Raikage gains enough momentum again to start another round of attacks and that small opportunity was enough for the other hand to pull Homusubi back.
At the same instant Homusubi retreated backward and got some distance between himself and the Raikage who was now covered with Iron Sand all over, he urged his chakra through the Mangekyou Sharingan and again used Susanoo.
Other than Susanoo he doesn't really have any better way to fight both Raikage and Killer Bee at this moment, as a result, he used Susanoo, so Susanoo again appeared on the battlefield.
"ROAR!"
However, this time, the Susanoo was different from the previous as it was more massive and let out a heart quivering roar, immediately afterward, golden flames covered the entire Susanoo body, these flames seemed to have a soul of their own, they seemed alive. The Chakra Swords that protruded out of his hands were now covered with these golden flames that burned as hot as the sun itself!
Without the slightest hesitation, Homusubi who was inside the armor of Susanoo waved two swords at once slashing towards the Raikage who was currently entangled in Prison Iron Sand Burial.
Slash… Slash…
The two upper to lower slashes cut apart a large cavity in the ground and stirred up a lot of dust and smoke, anything that came in the way was also cut into fragments and turned into ash with ease.
"Did it work?" – Homusubi muttered while trying to observe the area of attack.
The rising smoke and dust were also having an effect on his vision as even Sharingan's vision is hindered by smoke, therefore, he was unable to see the entire battlefield clearly.
When the smoke was cleared up by the Wind Style Jutsu used by Fujin, all Homusubi saw was two large ravines in front of him that stretched far away but there was no corpse of Raikage who had actually retreated far away thanks to his brother Bee.
Seeing that the planned attack failed, Homusubi frowned, just when he was confused why the attack field, the Kazekage puppet's telepathic message arrived, "The Lightning Release Chakra Armor of Raikage has very strong Lightning Chakra reaction on his body and it is interfering with the electromagnetic field induced by my Magnet Release Chakra!"
Hearing this, Homusubi realized the problem and nodded in understanding.
Magnet Release may be a Kekkei Genkai, which is the result of the fusion of Wind Chakra nature and Earth Chakra Nature, however, its principle and mechanism are quite complicated.
Generally, Wind nature has an advantage over Lightning because of its cutting properties, but Iron Sand is controlled using an electromagnetic field. Therefore, lightning is a weakness of Magnet Release.
In the presence of a strong electric current; the magnetic field would either disrupt or another magnetic field will be induced in the system depending on the direction of the flow of current, ultimately causing the Iron sand attacks to fail.
And Yondaime Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Armor is doing just that Sandaime Kazekage's Iron Sand.
Of course, the stronger your Magnet Release chakra the stronger Electric attacks would be needed to disrupt the electromagnetic field, but Yondaime Raikage happens to possesses the strongest Lightning Chakra among the people currently alive, and his lightning Chakra is more than enough to disrupt Sandaime Kazekage puppet's Chakra.
'What to do?' thought Homusubi as he observed Ay.
At this moment, Ay dusted off the iron sand on his body and looked around the battlefield, there were many spots ignited with that raging golden flames and the temperature of the battlefield was continuously rising, seeing this his expression became a bit dignified.
Just a moment ago, he was about to be cut by that Chakra sword which is covered in those golden flames, and if that attack really hit him, then it would either mean death or he would be forced to cut off the affected part of the body, and both options are unacceptable for him.
'It appears that I have to be a bit more cautious, the enemy is by no means weak, and seeing that his actions are calm all along, he hasn't been cornered enough.' Thought Raikage as he seriously tried to evaluate the enemy's strength.
While Raikage was evaluating Homusubi and the other guy's strength, Homusubi was also evaluating Raikage's strength.
In terms of speed alone, although the Yondaime Raikage is clearly inferior to 'Yama' when 'Yama' uses the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, however, against the current Homusubi, Raikage has an absolute advantage when it comes to speed, and considering how high his defense and brute strength is, it is really impossible for Homusubi to win this battle against Yondaime Raikage with Killer Bee by his side.
'Sigh… And here I thought that I might be able to give A-B brother's some tough time with this weak clone body too, but it appears that I was getting too ahead of myself.' Sighed Homusubi.
Based on the strength and speed Yondaime Raikage has displayed up to now, Homusubi can judge that the current Yondaime Raikage is clearly stronger than the current Sandaime Hokage. The reason why he is so sure is that he has already experienced Sandaime Hokage's strength as Suijin.
Although at that time, Sandaime Hokage was very restrained and did not use his complete strength, Homusubi still feels that Sandaime Hokage who has been getting older has already been surpassed by Yondaime Raikage.
As far as Homusubi can think, other than Yama, only the toad Sannin Jiraiya; when using the Sennin Mode can match up to the Yondaime Raikage.
Aside from the two of them, no matter who they are, it would be almost impossible to defeat Raikage, and because Yama's presence in Tenseigan Chakra Mode is unknown to most so Yondaime Raikage feels that no one matches him in terms of speed. This is the most likely reason why Raikage has started to flare up so much and become unruly to such a degree.
'Fortunately, there was Namikaze Minato during the third great shinobi war who kept A-B Combo in check, otherwise, Kumogakure would have continued the war in the same unrestrained manner.' – such a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Cough-cough…!" – the blood that he has been suppressing down his throat was no longer restrained and was coughed out violently, 'Shit, this clone is about to reach the limit and will no longer be able to bear it anymore!'
Realizing that if he didn't hurry, he will be in a pickle very soon, Homusubi controlled the Susanoo who brandished four Golden Flame Swords and started to continuously slash towards both Killer Bee who was clad with Hachibi's chakra and Ay who was clad with Lightning release Chakra Armor.
Slash… Slash… Slash… Slash… Slash… Slash… Slash… Slash… Slash… Slash… Slash… Slash…
The continuous onslaught of slashes started, each slash caused massive damage to the surrounding forest, and curtesy to the golden flames, each slash carried an extreme amount of heat that would melt you alive if not burn you into charcoal with the slightest of contact.
The forest was already engulfed in golden flames, countless trees that were cut in half by the sword winds were now charcoaled in those golden flames, tens of meter deep ravines were left in the surroundings, the sky was also full of black smoke and cloud of eroded dust.
Clearly telling the tale of the apocalypse.
As soon as they were covered in smoke and dust, Homusubi who was coughing turned over and jumped on the Iron Sand platform created by Fujin and said, "Go."
Fujin immediately sprouted iron sand wings at his back and flew away from the battlefield using additional Wind Chakra to increase their flight speed.
