Chapter 386: Karui's Confusion
Ino asked, "Big Sister Yugito, what happened?"
In fact, her relationship with Yugito had always been good. After the battle on Turtle Island, the two had a mutual admiration. They rarely met, but they would write letters from time to time to keep in touch. When she was training Naruto, a lot of the knowledge about the semi-Tailed Beast transformation was taught to her by Yugito.
At this moment, Yugito stared at her intently. She put on seventy percent of her acting skills and looked at the other party with suspicion.
Ino suddenly said "eh." "What's that sound outside? It's so noisy."
Yugito didn't find anything unusual here and said seriously, "Please stay in your room. Don't leave. Don't cause any unnecessary misunderstandings."
Ino dried her feet. "Okay… Um, if you need help, you can come find me."
Yugito answered stiffly, "No need. The Cloud Village will handle it."
Ino put on her shoes and followed Yugito to the door to look.
The chaos caused by the Eight-Tails was getting worse. Rows of houses were pushed down. The Fourth Raikage entered his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his body surrounded by blue lightning, his hair standing on end like a low-spec Super Saiyan. He was beating the Eight-Tails mercilessly, with many ninjas assisting on the side.
In the past, halfway through the fight, the Eight-Tails' anger would be suppressed, and Killer B would also wake up and cooperate to control the rampaging Eight-Tails.
Today was different.
Kotoamatsukami had completely aroused the violence in the Eight-Tails' heart. In the anime, the Eight-Tails seemed to be an honest ox, but in reality, this guy also had a bad temper. The more violent he was, the stronger he was.
Eight octopus-like tails smashed around, like a demolition, and rows of buildings turned to dust.
The Fourth Raikage could only meet him head-on. Lacking control skills, several members of the sealing team tried to seal it, but their individual strengths were limited, and they couldn't get close at all.
"B! Wake the hell up!" He hit the Eight-Tails' cheek with a "Lariat," his elbow creating a depression more than two meters in diameter. The Eight-Tails' skin was scorched, and the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release chakra lingered around the broken skin. Even the massive Eight-Tails was knocked back two steps by this blow. It shook its head hard to get rid of the dizziness.
The Eight-Tails opened its mouth wide, and a chakra ball composed of yin and yang chakra gathered in its mouth.
The Fourth Raikage was furious. He raised his right leg high, briefly suspended in the air, his body leaning back like a bow. After accumulating power to the extreme, he chopped down on the Eight-Tails' head.
All the Lightning Release chakra was gathered in his leg. This was the ultimate taijutsu technique, "Guillotine Drop"!
With a loud "boom," he was hit hard on the head. Under the heavy blow, the Eight-Tails had to close its mouth, swallowing the Tailed Beast Bomb back down. But the price was that the Eight-Tails became even more violent.
"B, you bastard! If you dare to mess around again, I'll kill you!"
The Fourth Raikage was furious. He could fight for three more days without getting tired, but by then the village would be destroyed.
Darui, who used Storm Release, joined the battle. This Kage-level of his was a bit watered down. Even with Storm Release, which was a combination of Water Release and Lightning Release, he couldn't cause much damage to the rampaging Eight-Tails.
Ino stood at the door and watched. Not long after, Shikamaru and the other two also walked out of their rooms.
The Nine-Tails' rampage—even though they were all just a few months old babies at the time, they had heard the general course of events from their elders after they grew up.
They knew they were in a suspicious place and didn't say a word.
Ino was also watching silently.
The Tailed Beasts' resistance to the Mangekyō Sharingan was really too weak!
If the resistance of ordinary ninjas to the Mangekyō was 1, then the resistance of the Tailed Beasts was not even 0.1. The nine Tailed Beasts, as parts of the Ten-Tails, were all intelligent life forms that had materialized by mixing a large amount of chakra.
They had all lived for hundreds or thousands of years. Their willpower shouldn't be so weak.
They were helpless against Wood Release, and also helpless against the Sharingan. What did this mean? It meant that the Sage of Six Paths had left a "backdoor" for his descendants. As long as there were Tailed Beasts in this world, his descendants would not die out in order to control the Tailed Beasts. If his descendants all died, then OK, this world could also be destroyed.
Ino didn't know if her guess was correct. Anyway, she was watching the Fourth Raikage PK the Eight-Tails now and had no intention of helping at all.
She gave Shikamaru a look. The two quietly returned to the room, and then Choji and Kiba also followed them in. Yugito glanced at them and said nothing.
"What should we do now? Should we immediately… um?" Kiba was impatient and lacked confidence. As soon as he entered the room, he lowered his voice to ask and glanced at the door, meaning to ask if they should run now.
Ino nodded. Shikamaru quietly told them about Danzō sending his subordinates to do the "intelligence gathering" mission.
Kiba was furious. You're totally setting us up!
Ninjas were not detectives; they didn't care about evidence. Before they came, everything was fine here. As soon as they came, the Eight-Tails went on a rampage, and the whole village was in chaos. The four of them were the best scapegoats. A single "stay for investigation" could be their doom.
A wise man doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. How to explain it specifically was a matter for the future. Now they had to run! Because the Cloud Village, including the other four major ninja villages, was not a place that cared about reason or law.
Shikamaru had spent the past three days watching Choji and Karui being lovey-dovey. While eating a stomachful of public displays of affection, he had also memorized the main roads and small paths of the Cloud Village in his mind. He had planned seven fastest routes to leave the Cloud Village.
The few of them began to discuss which route was the most suitable.
At the same time, Karui joined C's team to hunt down Danzō. She killed two Root ninjas with her own hands. Seeing the village in chaos, her heart was in even more chaos.
Under the pretext of treating her injuries, she left the main group and walked down a small path alone.
She looked in the direction where Ino and the others were staying. Tomorrow? Where will I go tomorrow?
She wandered alone on the street.
The chaos in the center of the village was in stark contrast to the quietness here.
As she walked, she came to a tavern.
The Cloud Village was full of rough men. The environment was harsh, and they couldn't play anything artistic. Drinking and playing cards in the tavern was often one of the few entertainments for the ninjas.
The owner here was one of the few civilians who had not retreated. After all, if the Konoha ninjas came over and didn't see a single villager, it would seem too fake.
During the day, Karui had also brought Choji here to play cards. She remembered that Shikamaru played very well, and Choji always lost, but the fatty was cheerful and didn't care.
Karui couldn't help but walk here. The short old man in the shop waved at her.
"No, I still have a mission." She shook her head and refused.
The owner signaled that it was okay. "I'm exhausted tonight, but as long as a customer comes to play, I'm always welcome!"
Karui didn't know if she could still come to play. Biting her lip, she walked alone into the darkness.
