Chapter 211: The AB Combination Has Not Yet Grown Up
[Name: A]
[Chakra: 87,000]
[Potential: S]
[Skills: Lightning Release Chakra Mode (Mastery: 5000 / 15000), Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation (4500 / 15000), Lightning Style Kill Chiyo Dance (Mastery) …]
Without a doubt, the Fourth Raikage A was no longer a so-called genius—he was a fully matured powerhouse. His mastery of Lightning Release Chakra Mode and his advanced body techniques placed him among the strongest individuals Mugetsu had ever seen through his analysis panels.
Mugetsu wasn't surprised by this level of strength. After all, A was several years older than Minato and had more experience in training.
Next, Mugetsu turned his focus to the figures standing beside A. As the son of the Third Raikage, A would never set foot on the battlefield alone.
[Name: Killer Bee]
[Chakra: 23,000]
[Potential: S]
[Skills: Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation (Mastery: 100 / 15000), Supersonic Lightning Release Sword (Proficient), Lariat (Proficient) …]
Killer Bee looked young—no more than thirteen or fourteen—and was clearly the youngest among the group. Judging by his panel, he had not yet become the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.
Even so, Mugetsu could only sigh at his talent. Bee was already impressive without the tailed beast. His potential as a future powerhouse was undeniable.
[Name: Berkeley]
[Chakra: 7,100]
[Skills: Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation (Mastery) …]
[Name: Motomu]
[Chakra: 6,500]
[Skills: Chakra Perception (Mastery), Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation (Proficient) …]
Aside from these two unfamiliar Jonin, there were also two skilled Chunin, each possessing Chakra levels around four thousand.
If the one leading them had been the Third Raikage himself, Mugetsu would have summoned his Flying Thunder God technique without hesitation and escaped. But since it was the Fourth Raikage—still short of his peak—Mugetsu felt no fear, even a touch of intrigue.
With Killer Bee still young and not yet bonded with the Eight-Tails, the famed "AB Combination" was incomplete—the Raikage was essentially carrying Bee at this stage.
Although A's Chakra was more than twice his own, Mugetsu wasn't intimidated. Chakra alone didn't decide victory. His perfect Lightning Breathing, Armament Haki, and mastery-level techniques gave him more than enough confidence.
He had met many with greater Chakra, but never anyone with higher proficiency in skill.
After a brief analysis, Mugetsu made up his mind. He would meet this younger Raikage head-on. It would be an opportunity to gain battle experience—and to let his disciples feel real pressure.
"Use the Transformation Technique. Disguise yourselves as Hidden Sand ninja and follow me," Mugetsu ordered calmly.
He canceled his Byakugan, removed his glasses, and performed the Transformation Technique. His form changed into Aizen wearing a Hidden Sand uniform, black-framed glasses now perched on his face.
He could easily escape, but wiping out an elite team led by the Raikage wasn't realistic. Concealment was key.
Although confused, his disciples obeyed immediately. Their appearances changed, their headbands now bearing the symbol of the Hidden Sand.
"Let's move," Mugetsu said, leading them eastward. The open desert offered no cover for an escape.
"They've noticed us," Motomu reported, sensing the fluctuations ahead. "Their Chakra is approaching rapidly."
"Running? Impossible. This is perfect for Bee's training," A said calmly, glancing toward his younger brother.
"Bee, you need to pick up the pace. Your Lariat is still far behind mine."
"Okay, Big Brother! I'll grow fast enough to stand beside you! Together, we'll make the enemy tremble and surrender to Kumogakure!" Killer Bee shouted with fiery enthusiasm.
"Hahaha!" A laughed proudly.
"How odd—their speed just increased drastically," Motomu remarked, sensing a sudden surge.
"I'll go first," A said, his tone flat. "No matter how fast they are, they can't outrun me."
Zzzzzzt!
A's massive frame erupted with crackling lightning. The electric current wrapped his body like armor, activating his Lightning Release Chakra Mode. His entire body gleamed blue with energy as he stepped forward—vanishing from sight.
On the other side, Mugetsu scooped up his three disciples and sprinted, covering the distance to the nearest forest in a single breath.
"We'll take cover in the forest," Mugetsu said, setting them down.
"None of you are leaving."
A streak of blue lightning raced across the ground, faster than their eyes could follow.
"What—what is that?!" Obito gasped, unable to even perceive A's silhouette, only the sensation of a lightning strike surging toward him.
Kakashi quickly drew several shuriken and threw them, but they sliced through empty air. The lightning moved far too fast.
The streak halted before the treeline, revealing the Fourth Raikage, who dispelled his Lightning Mode. His expression turned faintly disappointed. He had memorized the faces of Sand's notable shinobi—none of these four matched them.
"So fast!" Kakashi muttered in awe.
The muscular man before them, with dark skin and short blond hair, radiated power. That speed—he'd only ever seen something comparable from Mugetsu himself. He couldn't tell who was faster; both moved beyond his comprehension.
"State your mission," A said coldly. "Do that, and I'll let you die whole."
"Who would tell you that?! If you've got guts, come and fight!" Obito snapped. He wasn't afraid—not with Mugetsu standing beside them.
Mugetsu raised a hand, motioning for his students to fall back. A was nothing like the foes they'd fought before. His speed and power demanded respect.
"You seem confident," Mugetsu said with a faint smile. "But overconfidence isn't always good."
"I have every reason to be," A replied calmly, glancing over his shoulder. "Bee and the others are almost here. If not for his training, this would've been over already."
"Is that so?" Mugetsu said softly, adjusting his glasses. He inhaled deeply, his chakra surging as his aura shifted sharply.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Mugetsu disappeared—and reappeared behind A, his right arm coated in black Armament Haki as he swung with crushing force.
A reacted instantly, instinct kicking in. Lightning surged across his body as his own fist charged with electricity.
Black met blue.
Their fists collided with explosive power, shockwaves splitting the air.
At that moment, Killer Bee and the other Kumogakure shinobi arrived—just in time to witness the clash of two monsters.
