"Was that guy just now the Fourth Raikage?"
Aburame Shiken asked doubtfully.
Weren't all the Hidden Cloud Village shinobi supposed to be hotheaded brutes?
There were actually people who ran away?
"Probably. Even in the Hidden Cloud Village, a speed like that should be pretty rare."
Namikaze Minato analyzed seriously.
"OK, then let's assume it was him. Which one of you is going to deal with him?"
Aburame Shiken asked.
"Not me. I've fought him several times already. It's boring."
Hyūga Hiyasu waved his hand dismissively.
"An enemy defeated by me isn't worth a second glance unless absolutely necessary. Once they lose to me, they can no longer even see my back."
"I don't want to go either. Fighting someone that fast is way too troublesome."
Senju Hideki said.
"I'd like to go, but... hehehe."
Ryoha chuckled unconsciously as he looked at Inuzuka Rinko.
"If it takes both husband and wife to beat him, that would be giving that guy way too much credit."
You could just go alone, you know.
Aburame Shiken thought speechlessly.
"Looks like that leaves me. Besides, I'd like to see just how fast he really is."
A faint smile appeared on Uchiha Kamito's lips.
Fast opponents were rare in the ninja world.
"He's probably gotten pretty far already. Want Minato to help you?"
"No need. He's still within my sensory range."
After saying that, Uchiha Kamito vanished with a Body Flicker.
His sensory range is really that huge?
Just what kind of sensory ninjutsu did Kamito develop?
Even after pondering it for a long time, Aburame Shiken still couldn't come up with a definitive answer.
"Kakashi, weren't you going to watch?"
"Huh? I can really go?"
The dejected Kakashi instantly jumped to his feet.
He had already fallen in love with Kamito-niichan's incredibly cool combination of swordsmanship and ninjutsu.
Maybe this time he'd get to see even more.
"Go ahead. But if you die, don't blame anyone else."
"Yeah, don't worry. I am absolutely reliable."
"Oh? Then what about Shikuro's arm?"
"That was an accident. A complete accident."
Aburame Shiken rolled his eyes at him.
Unfortunately, hidden behind his sunglasses, Kakashi couldn't see it.
"I'm heading out."
Kakashi immediately vanished with a Body Flicker as well.
"Bug Clone."
A Bug Clone made of crimson parasitic insects sped off in the direction of their battle.
"ROAR!"
"ROAR!"
Two thunderous roars echoed out.
The Nine-Tails, which had been preparing a Tailed Beast Bomb, had been shoved to the ground by the Eight-Tails.
Once again, the Hidden Cloud Village narrowly escaped disaster.
"But at this rate, how long is this going to take?"
Aburame Shiken muttered.
"Hiyasu."
"I'm here."
"I'll leave things to you. I'm going to prepare something big for the Hidden Cloud Village."
"No problem. Leave it to me."
Hyūga Hiyasu vigorously patted his chest.
Does this count as a battlefield promotion?
"Alright, I'm counting on you."
After speaking, Aburame Shiken's body dissolved into crimson parasitic insects and slowly burrowed underground beneath the Hidden Cloud Village.
"Ryoha, massage my shoulders. Hideki, pound my legs."
Hyūga Hiyasu was feeling incredibly pleased with himself.
Shiken personally appointed me as the next commander! Who would dare disobey my orders?!
Ryoha and Hideki exchanged glances.
Yep.
Same thought.
Hiyasu really was an idiot.
"Ow, my back. I'm exhausted. Come on, Rinko, let's go take a nice stroll around the Hidden Cloud Village. After a while, this place won't even exist anymore."
"Mhm."
Rinko agreed.
The couple simply walked away right in front of Hyūga Hiyasu.
They didn't even bother greeting him.
"I'll guard the south. Leave all enemies on the southern side to me."
After saying that, Hideki left as well.
Before Hyūga Hiyasu could even speak, another of his top subordinates had disappeared.
"Minato, don't tell me you're also—"
"Kushina needs me. See you later, Hiyasu."
A flash of golden light appeared.
Only a kunai remained where Minato had stood.
Hyūga Hiyasu's expression instantly became ugly.
Then he looked toward Uchiha Itachi, Guy, and Uchiha Shisui.
"You three don't have something to do too, right?!"
His tone was frightening.
His stare was even more frightening.
Itachi and Guy frantically shook their heads.
Shisui looked like he was about to cry.
I agree too!
But could you untie me first?!
"Looks like Shisui is very dissatisfied. If you've got complaints, just say them. We're one big harmonious and loving family, aren't we?"
"Still not talking? Silence is the greatest insult you can give me."
"Excellent. I like stubborn people like you. Just like that blind idiot's disciple."
"Since I'm bored anyway, how about I teach you all a little lesson on interrogation and being interrogated?"
...
"Fourth Raikage, stop running."
Uchiha Kamito quickly caught up to A.
Fast?
Not that fast.
Looking at Uchiha Kamito surrounded by crackling lightning, A's lips trembled uncontrollably.
"You damned Uchiha! Where did you learn the Lightning Release Chakra Mode?!"
As expected of the evil Uchiha.
The Hidden Cloud Village's signature technique was actually being used by him.
The Sharingan really is—
Wait.
"You blind man! How did you steal our Lightning Release Chakra Mode?!"
A suddenly became even more alarmed.
"You Cloud brutes really have no manners. What do you mean, your Lightning Release Chakra Mode?"
"Damn it! Everyone in the ninja world knows it's the Hidden Cloud Village's signature ninjutsu!"
A was furious.
Being copied was already painful enough.
But what was even more painful was that the thief was standing right in front of him and stubbornly refusing to admit it.
How could there be someone so shameless in the ninja world?
"Hehehe. You say Lightning Release Chakra Mode is your village's signature technique? Then take a look at this."
Kamito grinned.
The blue chakra surrounding his body slowly turned yellow.
"Earth Release Chakra Mode."
Then it became red.
"Fire Release Chakra Mode."
"Wind Release Chakra Mode."
"Water Release Chakra Mode."
His body continuously shifted between blue, yellow, red, cyan, and deep blue.
A's expression became increasingly ugly.
The thief had not only perfected the stolen goods, but had even come back to flaunt them in front of the original owner.
A scene like this...
Could not possibly be described with a mere "holy shit."
"Fourth Raikage, you say I stole from you. Can your Hidden Cloud Village even do any of these?"
Kamito asked with a grin.
"Lariat!"
A instantly appeared in front of him.
"Showing off in front of an enemy is never a good idea. While you're waiting for chakra, I'm waiting for—"
A black fissure slashed out from the tip of Kamito's blade.
"Of course I'm waiting for my skill cooldown. Don't ultimate moves always have a bunch of prerequisites and a long charge-up time?"
A victorious smile spread across Uchiha Kamito's face.
