Chapter 281: Chapter 281: The Beginning of the Chaos at Hidden Cloud Village
The eerie black light spread in all directions, making the forest shimmer with a dark glow.
This scene looked incredibly bizarre.
While most of the Hidden Cloud ninja were staring blankly at the black thunder, someone suddenly realized something.
"Wait! Isn't that the direction of Lord Killer Bee…"
That single sentence caused a bigger shockwave than the black thunder itself, exploding within the crowd.
"That's right! Just now, Lord Raikage disappeared heading in that direction too…"
"Damn it, could someone be attacking Lord Killer Bee?"
"A diversion! I see, these two are just here to distract us!"
"Hurry… Quickly return! Lord Killer Bee must be facing an even more dangerous opponent now."
Darui fully understood how dire the situation had become.
"Leave some people here to deal with these two; the rest of you come with me to support Lord Raikage!"
Although Darui had no official authority to command the Hidden Cloud ninja, most of them chose to follow his orders at that moment.
Darui was a ninja acknowledged by Lord Raikage. In a village where might ruled, strength was everything.
"We'll stay. The Two-Tails Jinchuriki should go with the others to support Lord Raikage!"
Watching the Hidden Cloud ninja in action, Sasori did not intervene. By logic, he and Deidara should have tried to stop these people as much as possible.
But Sasori simply wanted Sasuke to experience the feeling of being used as bait.
"Hmph!"
"Sasuke Uchiha… let's see if you can keep being so arrogant this time!"
The Fourth Raikage, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, and a group of elite Hidden Cloud ninja…
Let's see how you deal with such a lineup.
"Senior, what do we do now?"
Deidara looked frustrated as the Two-Tails Jinchuriki left.
This mission was a complete failure.
Going back would be hard to explain to Pain.
But Sasori didn't seem to care. "Failure? Didn't we work well with Sasuke to capture the Eight-Tails?"
"The Eight-Tails is far more important than the Two-Tails."
Thinking about it, that seemed true.
However…
Deidara wasn't an idiot. He could tell Sasori deliberately let those people go so they could escape while leaving Sasuke to face greater pressure.
This would make Sasuke's situation far worse.
Although it was a shame, Deidara hoped for this outcome.
He kept silent, not saying another word.
Inside the Four Crimson Ray Formation…
Water surged as Sasuke stood on the water's surface, staring at Killer Bee, who had dived below.
Lightning raged wildly in Sasuke's hand.
Electricity coursed through the water.
Black thunder writhed like serpents through the currents.
Soon, Killer Bee, paralyzed by the electricity, began floating to the surface.
His entire body charred black.
If not for the Tailed Beast chakra protecting him, Killer Bee would have lost all combat ability by now.
Looking at Sasuke before him, Killer Bee's face was grim.
'This kid… what kind of monster is he… How can he even use the Third Raikage's black lightning?'
'Sasuke Uchiha, the Black Flash!'
'How can someone so young have this much power?'
Even the Eight-Tails within him remained unconscious, no matter how much Killer Bee tried to wake it.
He could already sense the scent of death.
The Four Crimson Ray Formation completely sealed off his escape.
There was no way out.
It felt as if this kid knew his special escape techniques.
'Damn it…'
For the first time, Killer Bee struggled to remain calm.
Facing Sasuke… a young yet terrifyingly powerful ninja.
'If that's the case… then I'll… fight to the death!'
Suddenly, the Tailed Beast chakra within him surged wildly.
The intense chakra waves even dispersed Sasuke's lightning.
Black thunder flickered around Sasuke, resisting the storm created by the Tailed Beast chakra.
'What's this…?'
Sasuke's eyes widened slightly as he watched Killer Bee.
The Tailed Beast chakra erupted, and in an instant, tentacles burst from Killer Bee's body.
They quickly formed into the fully transformed Tailed Beast.
Seeing Killer Bee in full Tailed Beast form, Sasuke understood—he intended to fight him to the death.
But unfortunately for Killer Bee, even a fully transformed Tailed Beast was no match for Sasuke.
Boom!
The Eight-Tails' tentacles struck at Sasuke like cannon fire.
The speed and power of the full Tailed Beast form were terrifying, capable of immense destruction with a simple swing.
But Sasuke raised his hand, where black thunder spun like a Rasengan, forming a thin black lightning sphere.
He pushed it lightly against the incoming tentacle.
Crackle! Boom…
With black lightning, he effortlessly blocked the massive force.
The lightning exploded into a small web-like shape, easily deflecting the attack.
Killer Bee felt the numbing sensation, his disbelief evident.
'He blocked my… attack… just like that…?'
'This kid… is he a monster?'
'Damn it… I'll try again…'
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three more tentacles lashed out at Sasuke with incredible speed.
In the blink of an eye, Sasuke made a single-handed seal.
"Lightning Release: Chidori Stream…"
Using the black lightning, Sasuke activated Chidori Stream for defense. Lightning surged wildly.
A lightning barrier formed around him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Even under continuous strikes, the defense remained unbroken.
Killer Bee hadn't anticipated this.
'Lightning Release is already hard to control, but black lightning… yet this kid… can even use it to create defensive jutsu.'
However…
Even if Sasuke blocked the attacks, it didn't matter. Killer Bee's goal wasn't to hit Sasuke but to restrain him.
Three tentacles wrapped tightly around Sasuke while Killer Bee opened his mouth, aiming at Sasuke.
Tailed Beast chakra erupted.
A Tailed Beast Bomb began gathering chakra rapidly.
At this moment, Sasuke sensed the chakra wave and tried to break free, but then a system notification sounded.
[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining Yang Release chakra.]
[Yang Release (0%/1)]
The Yang Release chakra fully awakened, and Sasuke felt his body slightly out of control.
Sasuke was speechless.
'Why now, of all times…?'

Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Awakening of the Yang Release
When his body became uncontrollable.
Outside the Four Red Yang Formation.
The Fourth Raikage looked at the person standing in front of him.
With white hair and a peculiar outfit, this person was definitely not from the Hidden Cloud Village.
The aura of the figure was powerful, clearly not a simple character.
'To deal with Bee… so many formidable ninjas have appeared. Where did this person come from?'
The Fourth Raikage's face darkened as he stared at Kimimaro.
"Who are you?"
"Daring to attack the Jinchūriki of the Hidden Cloud Village, do you intend to challenge us?"
The Raikage spoke, but Kimimaro paid little attention to him, instead turning to look in the direction of the Four Red Yang Formation behind him.
"Wait!"
Wait? The Raikage was stunned.
What was this guy saying? Asking him to wait?
Wait for what?
At that moment, Kimimaro sensed a change in the Four Red Yang Formation.
It seemed… it seemed…
While he was pondering, the Four Red Yang Formation suddenly disappeared.
To be precise, it was dispelled.
As the formation was lifted, torrents of water gushed out from within.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Four Red Yang Formation was dispelled?
Kimimaro's expression instantly changed. The dissolution of the formation meant either the battle had ended.
Or something had happened to Sasuke.
And with the battle ending…
As the Four Red Yang Formation disappeared, a terrifying chakra fluctuation burst out from inside.
Feeling the intense chakra impact, it was clear this didn't seem like the battle had concluded peacefully.
The Fourth Raikage suddenly exclaimed.
"This chakra fluctuation… it's Bee…"
Sensing the Eight-Tails' chakra, the Fourth Raikage became extremely agitated.
It seemed the opponent hadn't taken Bee down; otherwise, Bee wouldn't have such a strong Tailed Beast chakra fluctuation.
After instantly piecing things together, the Fourth Raikage, seeing the surging water, immediately activated his Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
Like a blue flash of lightning, he dashed toward the source of the water surge.
At the same time, Kimimaro paused, thinking, 'This technique… it's similar to Lord Sasuke's speed…'
With this thought, Kimimaro also sprang into action, heading straight toward the water's source.
He too was eager to see Sasuke's condition.
The sudden dispelling of the Four Red Yang Formation likely meant something was wrong with Lord Sasuke.
The two plunged into the surging flood.
Feeling the impact of the water, the Fourth Raikage was even more shocked.
What kind of powerful ninja could produce such an overwhelming Water Release?
This couldn't just be called Water Release anymore it should be called… Ocean Release!
When the flood finally receded, the original lake had transformed, leaving a soaked area filled with water pits of various sizes.
The Fourth Raikage immediately spotted Killer Bee, who was in full Tailed Beast form, his Tailed Beast Bomb interrupted.
However, Bee seemed to be in good condition.
"Bee…"
The Raikage's voice rang out, and in that moment, Killer Bee felt like the clouds had parted.
Finally, someone had come to rescue him his elder brother, no less.
Killer Bee immediately dispelled his full Tailed Beast form.
He turned to see the Raikage rushing toward him.
"Big Brother!"
The Fourth Raikage stopped beside Killer Bee. "Are you alright?"
Hearing this, Killer Bee exhaled deeply and nodded. "Still alive!"
"But this time… the enemy was so strong I thought I might actually die!"
For Killer Bee to say such a thing, the Fourth Raikage's gaze turned wary.
Killer Bee was the Eight-Tails' Jinchūriki, perfectly controlling the Tailed Beast. What kind of enemy could make Bee feel fear?
The Raikage looked toward the other side.
There lay Sasuke, with lightning crackling across his body and an eerie chakra fluctuation radiating from him.
Sasuke's eyes were tightly shut unconscious, but not quite.
Swish!
Kimimaro appeared beside Sasuke.
"Lord Sasuke!"
"Lord Sasuke, what's going on?"
Kimimaro called out, but Sasuke didn't respond.
At the same time, Kimimaro couldn't approach Sasuke. The black lightning was extraordinarily powerful; even a slight approach caused the lightning to pierce through both his skin and bones.
Kimimaro retreated repeatedly, staring at the seemingly unconscious Sasuke, unable to understand what was happening.
He didn't appear to be injured!
"Big Brother! This guy is dangerous he's Sasuke Uchiha!"
Hearing this, the Raikage stood up slowly. "Bee, can you still fight?"
Killer Bee nodded. "Of course!"
"Be cautious. There are other Kage-level opponents around. The Four Red Yang Formation requires four Kage-level ninjas to activate!"
"Sasuke Uchiha… Black Lightning!"
"This guy must be brought back to the village and interrogated about the source of his Black Lightning!"
The Fourth Raikage stepped forward, but Kimimaro suddenly frowned.
He stepped in front of Sasuke.
With a bone blade emerging in his hand, he pointed it at the Fourth Raikage.
"If you want to harm Lord Sasuke, you'll have to defeat me first!"
"You dare stand in my way? You must be confident in your strength!"
The Raikage smirked, while Killer Bee adjusted his stance, standing beside him.
Two against one!
Though there might be other enemies lurking nearby, the Raikage and Bee felt confident in their chances. As long as they quickly dealt with Kimimaro and captured Sasuke…
Even if other Kage-level opponents were present, the Raikage would not fear them.
"Bee!"
"Attack quickly!"
Killer Bee instantly erupted with Tailed Beast chakra. "Got it!"
The Lightning Release Chakra Mode activated.
One on the left, one on the right they charged at Kimimaro.
Facing two top-tier Cloud Village ninjas, Kimimaro felt immense pressure, but he wasn't afraid.
'Curse Mark… activate!'
Black curse mark patterns spread across his body.
Kimimaro gritted his teeth, bracing himself for the two-pronged attack.
Meanwhile, unnoticed by the three combatants…
The ground around them sprouted tiny buds, breaking through the soil. The chakra radiating from Sasuke was filled with astonishing life energy.
The Yang Release awakened.
The Wood Release within Sasuke's body, as if finding nourishment after a long drought, began absorbing the Yang Release chakra.
Wood Release and Yang Release were merging!
As the fusion deepened, Sasuke's body underwent continuous changes. Every cell felt as though it was being seared by intense flames.
Constantly… endlessly transforming…
