(Three chapters again today as a sorry)
****************
"It's still a bit weaker than this guy."
Colt frowned.
Being bombarded by several [Tailed Beast Bombs] had caused severe pain to the two tails, loosening the seal on it slightly.
If it happens a few more times, it would wake up and that wouldn't be fun anymore.
It seems he'll have to intervene directly.
[Susanoo: Armor]!
With a thought, his [Susanoo] turned into armor and enveloped the Two-Tails.
The blue armor adorned the blue demon cat, making it look even more fierce!
The Two-Tails' power, now blessed by the [Susanoo], increased dramatically.
It broke free from the Eight-Tails' attacks at once, taking the opportunity to slash twice with its claws.
The Eight-Tails staggered back, crashing into another large forest.
"Bee, what should we do now? With that kid around, we can't save the cat at all."
Gyūki was also suffering from a headache at this point, overwhelmed by the battle.
As expected, those people who had those eyes were never up to any good!
Killer Bee took a deep breath.
The situation was dire; he had to make a decision quickly.
"Gyūki, let's go all out."
The Eight-Tails, in sync with Killer Bee, instantly understood his thoughts. Its eight tentacles gathered around its mouth.
A [Tailed Beast Bomb], much larger than before, rapidly condensed.
Colt showed no panic, controlling the Two-Tails to prepare its own [Tailed Beast Bomb].
The two black spheres were swallowed by the Tailed Beasts simultaneously, and massive energy beams launched forth, colliding in midair.
BOOM!
Another massive explosion erupted. The blinding light forced even the Hyūga clan members to close their eyes.
'This is really going to make us blind if we keep watching.'
The immense energy scraped the ground repeatedly. Before anyone realized it, the terrain there had already sunk dozens of meters lower than the surrounding area.
Colt snorted, pouring chakra into the [Susanoo] frantically.
The Two-Tails' power continued to increase.
Under Killer Bee's horrified gaze, the collision point of the energy beams gradually moved towards him, its speed steadily increasing.
In the end, under Colt's suppression, both [Tailed Beast Bombs] slammed into the Eight-Tails' body.
BOOM!
The 60-meter-tall Eight-Tails was blown away, turning into a meteor that disappeared in an instant.
"Bee-sama!"
"Retreat!"
Darui shouted, immediately running in the direction Killer Bee had flown.
Fortunately, that was towards the Land of Lightning.
The rest of the Cloud ninjas fled in a hurry.
"What are you doing? After them!"
Colt shouted angrily at Kakashi and the others.
They snapped out of their daze and formed teams to pursue the fleeing Cloud shinobi.
This was a great opportunity to capitalize on their victory!
In times of war, villages would give mission rewards based on the level of enemies defeated.
Although not as lucrative as missions from outside clients, it was still very good.
Most importantly, it allowed for the accumulation of merit points, which could be exchanged for powerful jutsus normally unavailable.
Colt dispersed the [Susanoo] and controlled the Two-Tails to revert back into an unconscious Yugito.
He looked at her with some pity.
This woman was very useful; he really didn't want to return her to the Cloud.
In ancient times, Uchiha Madara rode the Nine-Tails to fight against Senju Hashirama.
Today, Kamiyo Colt rode the Two-Tails. Wasn't that fitting?
However, Tsunade had told him that even if he won against the Hidden Cloud, they could only extort so much. It couldn't be excessive.
If the Hidden Cloud was pushed to a critical point, Konoha would face enemies on all sides.
Even their ally, the Hidden Sand, might defect.
After all, no one wanted to see a Konoha with a strong desire for war.
Because he was too strong.
However, Colt looked at his hands.
"It's still not strong enough..."
There was still a Nagato in this ninja world who could compete with him, and an Obito working in the shadows.
If all the enemies appeared together, even he would be incapable of being in multiple places at once.
He needed to grow stronger still.
BOOM!
In the Hidden Cloud Village, the desk in the Raikage's office shattered again, and even the floor was cracked by a punch.
Mabui remained expressionless as if this was to be expected.
She just regretted that there wasn't a Wood Style user in the village.
If there was, the money saved every year would be enough to fund several S-rank missions, right?
"Damn it! Where the hell did this kid come from?!"
By now, the Fourth Raikage had learned that Killer Bee was defeated and the Cloud ninjas were being hunted down.
Fortunately, Darui had found the unconscious Killer Bee. Although seriously injured, his life was not in danger.
But the front line had completely collapsed.
"I'm going to the front personally!"
The Fourth Raikage was about to rush to the battlefield but was stopped by Mabui.
"If you go, do you have a way to deal with Kamiyo Colt?"
With those words, he was silenced.
Indeed, as the Raikage, he was extremely confident in his own strength.
Compared to Killer Bee, he wasn't stronger.
Even against a fully transformed Killer Bee, at best, he could draw.
Now that Killer Bee couldn't beat this kid, what use would it be if he went?
If the two of them joined forces perhaps... unfortunately, Bee was seriously injured.
"What should we do? Just watch Konoha bully us Cloud shinobi?"
The Fourth Raikage glared, demanding an explanation from Mabui.
The dark-skinned female secretary sighed helplessly.
"Surrender. We'll get Yugito back through negotiations."
"Hoo! Hoo!"
The Fourth Raikage took several deep breaths in a row before he managed to calm down.
"Let me think about it for two more days."
In the subsequent battles, Colt did not intervene.
The Konoha ninja's morale was high, and they advanced all the way into the Land of Hot Water, reaching the border between that country and the Land of Lightning.
This was the tragedy of small countries.
In fact, looking at the map, the lands where the Five Great Shinobi Villages were located had no clear borders at all. There were a large number of small countries acting as buffers between them.
In peacetime, they lived together harmoniously, but when the war began, the borders were as changeable as lines drawn in pencil, modified at will.
This was also why the Land of Rain was in such a tragic state.
It bordered the Land of Earth, the Land of Fire, and the Land of Wind simultaneously.
Killer Bee was sent back to the Hidden Cloud Village. Although the Fourth Raikage sent some reinforcements, the Cloud shinobis' morale had been shattered.
Facing the Konoha forces supported by Colt, they suffered heavy losses.
Finally, a few days passed.
The Hidden Cloud Village declared its surrender, and the Fourth Raikage personally came to the front to negotiate with Konoha.

****************
Colt and the rest of his side weren't surprised by this outcome at all.
The Fourth Raikage might be hot-headed, but he wasn't a fool.
With one of his Jinchūriki captured and the other defeated in battle, he alone couldn't cope with the current Konoha.
If this continued, the Raikage feared that the Hidden Rock, who had been watching from the sidelines, might jump in to take advantage of this situation.
After all, the Hidden Cloud and Hidden Rock were old enemies.
His father, the Third Raikage, had been worn down to death by ten thousand Rock ninjas.
When the news reached the Hokage Building, Tsunade first laughed wildly, then waved her hand and handed control of the matter to Shikaku.
Her only request: they could return the Tailed Beast, but they had to make the Raikage feel the pain reach his bones!
"Uncle Shikaku, just let me go already. Hinata and the others are still waiting for me in the village," Colt said with a dejected face. The battle was over. The negotiations weren't his strong suit.
Staying here was just a waste of time.
He'd rather go back early to enjoy the company of his friends and girlfriends.
Shikaku held his forehead.
'Stupid brat, this battle was originally for you to accumulate prestige and renown.'
'The most critical time is coming, and you want to leave first?'
"Colt, what if you leave and the Hidden Cloud suddenly changes their mind? No one here is the Raikage's match except you."
In the end, Shikaku thought of a reason and forced Colt to stay.
'Sigh'
Colt could only stay helplessly.
Soon, the Raikage brought his entourage to the agreed negotiation site.
"You'll return Yugito, and the Hidden Cloud will compensate Konoha with 10 million ryō," the Raikage stated, showing his hand immediately.
Sitting beside him were Mabui and Darui.
Colt deliberately looked around and spotted Samui, the second most prominent kunoichi in the ninja world. He felt a twinge of regret at being enemies.
He had wanted to compare her to Tsunade.
"Lord Raikage, this compensation is too small. I believe that if the Two-Tails Jinchūriki was sold to the other countries, it would certainly exceed this amount," Shikaku frowned and retorted.
"Moreover, do you think Konoha is short on funds to even take such a meager amount?"
It was clear to all that the Hidden Cloud village was being insincere.
"Hmph!" The Fourth Raikage's nostrils flared as he exhaled roughly.
"Then let's continue fighting. At any rate, we Cloud shinobi will die fighting, whether we have money or not."
"You want more compensation? That's too difficult for my side."
The man who could become the leader of a village was never a fool. He keenly sensed Konoha's dilemma.
They could win, but not by too much.
The other ninja villages wouldn't allow it either.
"Too difficult? Then don't do it! We'll just fight!"
Colt stood up abruptly, flipping the negotiating table, and ended up scattering the documents across the floor.
This move not only shocked everyone from Konoha, but even the Fourth Raikage was stunned.
He was usually the one smashing the tables, but today he was on the receiving end.
His temper flared instantly.
"Let's fight then! Brat, this old man has long been itching to deal with you!"
Lightning crackled around the Fourth Raikage's body as he activated his [Lightning Release Chakra Mode].
Thunder and lightning enveloped his body, not only providing high-speed attributes but also wrapping him in a layer of chakra armor.
Although it was only a B-rank jutsu, the strength of a technique never depended solely on its rank (though that was a factor), but also on the user.
The Hidden Cloud was a village that developed ninjutsu to its ultimate form, and the Fourth Raikage was the strongest among them.
Even if not quite as good as his father, the Third Raikage, he wasn't far off.
But would Colt be afraid?
Without hesitation, he slapped his hand on the ground and summoned Yugito.
"Come on then! Hit me!"
Standing behind Yugito, Colt spoke words that sent the Fourth Raikage's blood pressure soaring.
"If you have the ability, fight me one-on-one! What skill is there in hiding behind a woman?!"
The Fourth Raikage's hair stood on end in anger.
He didn't expect Colt to be so shameless as to use Yugito as a hostage!
Colt wasn't angered at all, instead looking at the Raikage as if he was a fool.
"The Two-Tails Jinchūriki is my current summoning beast. What's wrong with fighting alongside my summon?"
"You...!"
The Fourth Raikage was left speechless.
Mabui knew it was time for her to step in.
"Colt-san, please calm down. Our Raikage-sama can only offer this much compensation because of the village's financial difficulties. It's not that we don't want to express our sincerity."
"Your side would also not want our villagers to starve because of an excessive compensation, would you?"
Mabui's remarks were very diplomatic, playing to Colt's sympathy.
But Colt didn't appreciate this approach and snorted.
"You're so poor that you can only give 10 million ryō? Let me tell you, even a Jonin, Asuma, in our village has a bounty of more than 30 million. Are you beggars? Giving that much for a jinchuuriki…"
"Also, your Hidden Cloud Village's poverty has nothing to do with us in Konoha. It's entirely your own fault."
Asuma, who had been silently watching the proceedings, nearly choked.
'What the hell! Why did you have to use me as a comparison?!'
Kakashi glanced at Asuma sympathetically, with a hint of pity in his eyes.
He also remembered the Hyūga ninja using him as a unit of measurement.
"This..."
Mabui was at a loss.
She didn't expect this young kid to be not only strong but also immune to their tactics.
"How about this: 30 million ryō. This is the greatest sincerity our Hidden Cloud can offer."
Colt didn't respond at all, but his eyes grew colder.
"For Yugito, we can give 40—"
"Not enough."
"Colt-san…"
"Okay, we'll give Fifty million! This is our final offer!"
*Tsk*
Without a word, Colt activated the [Susanoo] this time, and the Mangekyō pattern appeared in Yugito's eyes as well.
"Enough!" the Raikage yelled.
This brat was getting on his nerves, and he didn't know how he had held himself so far.
"Brat! One hundred million! Any more than that and I'll just kill Yugito myself. And then we'll fight it out to the death!"
Colt looked at Shikaku, and seeing the other party nod imperceptibly, he knew this was the Hidden Cloud's bottom line.
He dispelled the [Susanoo].
"Alright, since you're so poor, we'll settle for the measly amount of one hundred million."
He waved his hand, looking as if he was doing the Hidden Cloud a favor.
It seemed they had truly reached their limit.
But the Hidden Cloud really was poor; even a Kage was richer than them.
In fact, what Colt didn't know was that because of this defeat, the pensions and reparations alone could make the Hidden Cloud's finances collapse.
Even at 100 million, the Fourth Raikage would still need to seek a loan from the Land of Lightning daimyo.
But he wouldn't care. This was the reality of the ninja world. You reap what you sow.
The two sides signed the final treaty.
The Hidden Cloud would get Yugito and the other Cloud prisoners at the price of 100 million ryō in compensation and an open surrender.
On the day of the prisoner exchange, Yugito also returned to normal.
She looked at Colt with trembling eyes full of fear.
She'd rather die than see this man again in her life.
He was simply the devil incarnate!
