Bab 149: Chapter 148: The Great Defeat of the Hidden Cloud
"Relax, Bee!"
Killer Bee gritted his teeth and said, "A mere Uchiha, a mere Two-Tails, I don't even take them seriously. Watch me take them down in no time."
...Should I be happy about your bravery?
Gyūki (Eight-Tails) was speechless.
*Boom!!!*
The three gigantic figures clashed once again.
Gyūki's fist!
Susanoo's giant blade!
The Two-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb!
A massive shockwave erupted.
The explosion's center sent ripples outward.
Countless trees were blown away.
The ground trembled, as if crying out in pain.
It couldn't withstand the pressure of these three forbidden forces.
After the collision, the three giant figures began retreating simultaneously.
Gyūki and the Two-Tails were thrown backward.
Only Susanoo took a few steps back.
The difference in power was clear!
It was obvious that Itsuki was the strongest!
Gyūki came second!
The weakest was the Two-Tails, who despite using a Tailed Beast Bomb, was still knocked back.
"Tailed Beast Bomb!"
Gyūki couldn't hold back anymore and opened his mouth, gathering a massive Tailed Beast Bomb, and shot it toward Itsuki.
"I told you, it's useless!"
Itsuki swatted the Tailed Beast Bomb away with the back of his hand.
Intentionally, he directed the bomb toward where the Hidden Cloud forces were retreating.
But then—
Gyūki suddenly appeared in front of Itsuki, launching a surprise attack.
The Tailed Beast Bomb had only been a diversion!
*Boom!*
The Two-Tails dashed over and headbutted Gyūki, sending him flying.
"Don't ignore me!"
The Two-Tails bared her sharp fangs, looking both fierce and cute at the same time.
"Bee, this isn't working!"
Gyūki's voice became anxious.
Who would've thought these two would cooperate so well?
Matatabi, you're a Tailed Beast!
If it weren't for the fact that Yugito Nii's presence was still detectable, Gyūki would've doubted whether Itsuki had already killed Yugito and taken control of Matatabi as the Jinchūriki.
If this keeps up, Gyūki is likely to get killed!
"Don't worry!"
Killer Bee reassured, "Dodai is evacuating the Hidden Cloud ninjas. As long as they escape, we can… ugh!"
His eyes widened in shock.
Because in the direction where the Hidden Cloud forces were retreating, two more Susanoo appeared.
Towering figures, arms crossed, coldly staring down at the Hidden Cloud.
They looked like gods, ready to reap lives!
It was none other than Fugaku and Uchiha clan.
"Forget about the regular ninjas. Focus on Gyūki first!"
Itsuki's deep voice rang out: "Once Gyūki is taken down, the Hidden Cloud will lose all its Tailed Beasts, and we can kick the Hidden Cloud Village out of the Five Great Shinobi Nations."
"Fire Village will take its place!"
"Got it!"
Fugaku and his companion shouted in unison, charging forward with Susanoo.
Of course, they didn't forget to stomp on a few Hidden Cloud ninjas along the way.
Small steps make a big difference!
Especially Fugaku.
He had missed stomping on a Hidden Cloud ninja, who managed to dodge. Furious, Fugaku screeched to a halt, turned back, and crushed the ninja before resuming his charge toward Gyūki.
Obsessive tendencies can be quite something!
Dodai saw this and was so enraged he nearly cursed out loud!
"It's really dangerous now!"
Gyūki's heart sank as he saw so many Susanoo.
"Bee, let's run!"
Run?
Killer Bee looked at the retreating Hidden Cloud forces and sighed deeply.
Before they arrived, they never expected things to turn out like this.
They thought that the Uchiha, having just established their village, didn't have many ninjas. Facing both Konoha and the Hidden Cloud simultaneously, their combat strength couldn't be too high. The only real challenge would be those top-tier elites.
And they were right!
But each of these elites was as strong as Killer Bee.
If it were just one, he could have handled it with the Hidden Cloud's help.
Two were beyond him.
That had already been proven.
Itsuki was wreaking havoc, and no one could stop him.
Now there were three Susanoo and a Tailed Beast.
How were they supposed to win?
Even if his brother came, it wouldn't be enough!
He could escape, but what about the Hidden Cloud?
These five could easily wipe out every remaining Hidden Cloud ninja.
"Fight!"
For the thousands of Hidden Cloud ninjas!
Gyūki roared and charged forward.
*Boom!*
Itsuki blocked Gyūki's attack with a guard.
"Tailed Beast Bomb!"
*Boom!*
The Two-Tails opened her mouth and launched a Tailed Beast Bomb, forcing Gyūki to stagger backward.
"Now it's my turn!"
Fugaku and his companion rushed in, attacking from both sides. One kick from each sent Gyūki reeling, nearly coughing up blood.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
Gyūki roared repeatedly but was forced to retreat under the relentless assault. Wounds continued to accumulate on his body.
"It's almost over!"
Itsuki glanced at the Two-Tails.
There was no time to waste.
He had the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, so it didn't matter.
But Fugaku and his companion only had the regular Mangekyō. Overuse would cause blindness.
The Two-Tails nodded.
In the next moment, under everyone's astonished gaze, Itsuki dismissed his Susanoo and mounted the Two-Tails.
Then…
*Buzz!*
*Crack, crack, crack!*
Susanoo reappeared, but this time it formed as armor, enveloping the entire Two-Tails.
The combination of Susanoo and a Tailed Beast!
The Two-Tails transformed into a battle-hardened cat!
"Is this even possible?"
Killer Bee was stunned.
The power of a Tailed Beast had always been unique.
This was why Tailed Beasts were considered forbidden forces in every village.
They were walking natural disasters.
But now…
That natural disaster's power had been amplified!
No one had ever thought of this before.
Each village only sought to keep their Tailed Beasts calm, to prevent them from going berserk.
Who ever thought about making them stronger?
"They're coming!"
Itsuki shouted, charging at Gyūki.
"Bring it!"
Gyūki bellowed, "Let me see just how powerful the combined forces of a Tailed Beast and an Uchiha really are!"
The two forces collided heavily.
*Boom!!!*
A massive explosion occurred.
…
"Quick, quick, quick!"
Dodai shouted orders, urging the Hidden Cloud ninjas to escape faster.
Susanoo, the power of the Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan, really could rival a Tailed Beast.
This was an extremely important realization!
And the Uchiha had so many Mangekyō users!
Damn it!
Dodai's face turned pale.
He didn't even dare count how many Hidden Cloud ninjas had died.
He only knew it was a lot!
This battle didn't need to continue!
They had thought that because the Uchiha had the Mangekyō, they would send out their Tailed Beasts.
But who could have guessed…
"Killer Bee…"
Dodai looked toward the battlefield, his mouth filled with bitterness.
He hoped nothing had happened to him; otherwise, how could he face Lord Raikage?
*Shwoom!*
Suddenly!
A kunai flew toward Dodai, who quickly dodged.
*Boom!!!*
The kunai exploded upon hitting the ground.
Explosive tags!
Dodai's heart sank. He slowly looked up and saw that the area ahead was now filled with people.
At least 1,500, maybe even 2,000!
The leading ninjas were all Uchiha, their blood-red eyes glowing.
"It's over!"
This thought barely crossed his mind before the enemy launched their attack.
Countless explosive tags rained down from the sky.
*Boom, boom, boom!*
…
"Ugh!"
Itsuki spat on the ground and cursed, "Damn octopus! Spitting ink at the last moment."
"Damn thing got ink all over me."
"Isn't it normal for octopuses to spit ink?"
The Two-Tails lazily lay on the ground, one paw under her head like an elegant cat.
Between the two, a burly man lay unconscious on the ground.
Killer Bee!
Fugaku and his companion had gone to support the Uchiha forces.
Itsuki and the Two-Tails, having exhausted themselves, stayed behind to rest.
"Hmph!"
Itsuki snorted coldly. "So, by your logic, should I spend every day petting a cat?"
"Isn't Yugito Nii enough for you? You still want more?"
The Two-Tails scoffed, her voice tinged with disdain. "Thinking of making a move on me, huh? Hmph! I won't let you succeed."
What the—!
Itsuki broke out into a cold sweat on the spot.
That sounded wrong!
Two-Tails, there's something off about you!
