Pat*eon : Belamy20
Naruto : Chimera Ninja!
A completely unexpected situation.
This referred not only to Menma leading the Waterfall ninja to attack proactively but, more importantly, to the enemy's strength, which also far exceeded the Fourth Raikage's imagination.
The situation was constantly collapsing.
Seeing his Cloud ninja falling in pools of blood one after another.
The Fourth Raikage had completely blackened at this moment.
"Damn brat, this old man will definitely swallow you alive!!!"
The monstrous roar that the Fourth Raikage shouted abruptly.
Rumble!
The surging powerful chakra fluctuations.
Whoosh!
In the figure pressing forward.
"Hehe, this kind of bravery is exactly what I want, Fourth Raikage!"
A sharp look flashed in Menma's pupils.
Fighting to the death without retreating!
Just like that Third Raikage facing ten thousand Rock ninja.
Only then could Menma keep this Fourth Raikage here. Even if all two or three thousand Cloud ninja died, although it would indeed hurt the Hidden Cloud Village's bones, all this couldn't compare to keeping this Fourth Raikage and that Two-Tails Jinchuriki!
One battle to deter the entire ninja world.
This was the effect Menma wanted to achieve.
There were too many, too many jackals spying. Menma had to bring out absolute power, enough to make these jackals feel fear.
Boom!
Appearance born from the heart!
At this moment.
That special spiritual premonition that seemed to be sensed.
Menma slapped his hands together.
All feelings were completely integrated at that moment, thoughts cleared!
"Hah!"
"Kurama! Unleash all your power!"
Under a deep shout in his heart, the surrounding Shadow Clones disappeared actively synchronously.
"Hmph!"
Cooperating with a light snort transmitted from within the body.
A monstrous momentum rising clamorously.
This surging majestic chakra.
The next second.
As if the entire space was vibrating.
Seemingly floating eighth and ninth demon fox tails, and after a moment, the synchronously dispersing demon fox tails.
The previous demon fox cloak, thick like wrapped scarlet blood...
Also disappeared directly.
Another special posture manifested directly!
Golden halo flashing all over the body!
When wrapped within it.
Golden bright shadow.
"What is this!?"
The terrifying chakra momentum spraying out.
The pupils of the Fourth Raikage, who had closed the distance to the front, shrank abruptly.
But this was obviously too late to change direction and speed.
'Is this the complete form of Nine-Tails chakra!?'
Menma gripped his right hand forcefully, clearly feeling unprecedented power.
Accompanied by the rippling air waves.
With a stomp of Menma's foot.
The bursting momentum.
Compared to the speed that had become increasingly swift just now.
Whoosh!
This time, Flying Thunder God Jutsu wasn't needed.
That blatant speed was already a trace faster than the Fourth Raikage.
In less than 0.1 seconds.
Menma attacking from the side front.
Arm raised high.
The Sword of the Thunder God flipped out on the palm.
Directly aiming at the Fourth Raikage's face, hacking down fiercely.
Speed soaring to the extreme. At that moment, a slight trance appeared in the Fourth Raikage's eyes. The attack launched a step faster. When Menma approached his side, the Fourth Raikage's heart couldn't help but shake.
Defensive posture made directly relying on physical instinct subconsciously.
Clang!
Crossing hands.
Using the metal bracers worn on his wrists.
Blocking Menma's strong assault dangerously.
If the reaction had been half a beat slower, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Even if the Lightning Release Chakra Mode was hard enough, the Sword of the Thunder God under the attachment of Nine-Tails chakra...
Would inevitably pierce through this layer of defense strongly!
The Fourth Raikage absolutely didn't dare to easily use his flesh and blood to resist hard.
Fighting until now.
The Fourth Raikage had long lost the initial underestimation mentality and completely treated Menma as a formidable enemy.
This battle.
Was also the fiercest and most stressful battle for the Fourth Raikage in more than a decade.
And more importantly.
The Fourth Raikage could vaguely feel that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki opposite seemed to be using him as a whetstone from the beginning, polishing himself bit by bit.
This further vented terrifying chakra momentum at this moment.
Made the Fourth Raikage feel pressure a few points more terrifying than before.
"Bastard!"
His face became increasingly grim.
"It has to be like this to be enjoyable enough, Your Excellency Raikage. Let me see what level you, known as the fastest in the ninja world, can reach!"
Although the fox pupils in Menma's eyes had disappeared, at this moment, the pupils intertwined with scarlet and dark gold colors.
A terrifying aura permeating.
"Hah!"
With a deep shout.
A special brilliance bloomed on the Sword of the Thunder God accordingly.
Rumble!
Crack!
Chakra extracted further. Under sudden pressure, as far as the eye could see, the bracers on the Fourth Raikage's arms were also cut into directly from the middle by the Sword of the Thunder God. A very obvious slender crack appeared accordingly. After a slight vibration...
The crack also expanded rapidly.
In less than a second.
Clatter!
It broke directly from the middle position.
Sword glow flourished.
Sharp edge.
Directly scraping the surface skin.
Squelch!
Blood spurting out accordingly.
"Not good!"
Slight pain transmitted upwards.
While provoking the Fourth Raikage's nerves, this dangerous aura rushing towards his face made the Fourth Raikage's eyelids jump involuntarily.
Boom!
Body twisted to the side-up.
"Lightning Release: Liger Bomb!"
Bzzt bzzt bzzt bzzt!
Lightning flourishing accordingly.
Attacking the enemy's weakness with one's strength.
The sudden thunder power descending. The Fourth Raikage intended to use this move to force Menma's positioning, but this attack opportunity...
How could Menma miss it?
Rumble!
That synchronously soaring chakra, a huge chakra palm manifested in the rear position.
Chakra gathered upwards!
Hum!
"Spiralling Ring!"
Dark core, pale gold halo attached on the outside.
More terrible aura erupting under the unusual color.
"Hah!"
From bottom to top, smashing heavily.
Bang!
Rumble!
Pale gold and deep blue colors reflecting each other. While flipping and alternating, strong vibration aftershocks burst out.
"Ugh!?"
Making the Fourth Raikage's body shake uncontrollably.
Lost room for maneuver.
Squelch!
Menma took this opportunity, pressing down with both hands forcefully.
The Sword of the Thunder God sinking directly down.
Cutting down forcefully from the Fourth Raikage's left wrist position. The dull sound of metal penetrating flesh and blood fell.
That violently spraying blood.
Most importantly, the invading Nine-Tails chakra.
"Ah!?"
When uncontrollable pain covered the brain.
The Fourth Raikage's expression became slightly distorted, unable to suppress the cry of pain emitted.
Thud!
At the moment the severed hand fell to the ground.
Hum!
Menma turned the sword edge, slashing blatantly towards the Fourth Raikage's throat position.
The sharp cold light outlined at close range.
Menma wanted to take this Fourth Raikage's head right here!!!
Chilling sword edge.
Direct threat.
"!?"
At close range.
The Fourth Raikage A also exhausted all efforts to explode his last potential, forcibly flipping the angle down.
Bang!
Heavy force blasted down.
Body twisted sideways.
"Lightning Oppression Horizontal!!!"
Thunder exploding轰然 with one hand.
Clang!
Smashing heavily onto the blade of the Sword of the Thunder God held by Menma.
Thud!
Accompanied by a loud noise falling.
The sword edge forcibly moved sideways.
Menma's body also shook subconsciously, losing the center of gravity.
The whole person deviated to the other side.
The Fourth Raikage also seized this opportunity. With a stomp of his foot, Lightning Style chakra erupted rapidly.
Retreating quickly towards the rear position.
Bang!
The subsequently deviated sword edge.
Also smashed heavily onto the ground.
"These old guys are really not easy to deal with. Experience is too shrewd, and reaction is really too fast..."
A small stumble.
Body adjusted back very quickly.
Looking at the Fourth Raikage who had long pulled away.
A small look of regret and emotion appeared on Menma's face.
These old guys really each had a few brushes. Even Rasa, who seemed the weakest among successive Five Kage, was killed by Orochimaru, bringing along Kimimaro Kaguya and Kabuto Yakushi. It couldn't really be said that he was very weak.
If these old guys in the ninja world really lacked strength, would Madara have been interested in playing with them for so long?
He would have directly activated the Complete Body Susanoo and hacked all the way down long ago.
They still had something.
This Fourth Raikage was undoubtedly a ceiling existence on the Kage level.
Compared to these old guys, the gap in experience and skills was still very obvious for Menma. This wasn't something that could be made up for in a short time.
Menma never had extravagant hopes in this aspect. This stuff had to be accumulated by time and a large number of battles.
However.
Menma could make up for it with hard power, or even suppress forcefully!
'Is this how the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode feels?'
Menma gripped his hands slightly.
This filling texture.
And that feeling as if a light tap could start an explosive flash.
Gave Menma an unprecedented wonderful feeling.
If the previous Menma was just a leader in the Kage level, now he could be considered to have broken through that barrier!
Momentum soaring infinitely to a brand new height.
"Your Excellency Raikage, don't struggle anymore. Let me send you on your way!"
A sharp look flashed and disappeared in Menma's pupils.
Boom!
The air waves rippling accordingly.
Bang!
While running.
Menma also rushed wildly towards the Fourth Raikage not far away.
The powerful aura released.
Made the Fourth Raikage's face become incredibly ugly.
In that instant, the emotion named regret surged in the Fourth Raikage's heart for the first time. Many fragments flashed in his brain, finally freezing on the scene of his father staying behind to cover the rear, relying on his own strength to forcibly withstand the attacks of the Rock ninja pursuit troops, buying time for the retreat of his companions.
This revealed decisiveness.
"C, Samui, retreat immediately. After returning to the village, let Dodai organize all affairs of the village until a new Raikage is selected!"
This supreme leader of the Hidden Cloud Village also took a deep breath and shouted sternly.
On the scene.
They had completely fallen into a disadvantage.
Whether it was himself here or other battle groups.
Continuing to consume, all of them would lose their lives here.
These people were all the future of the village. His father could stay behind to cover the rear back then, so today, as the Raikage, he could also do this.
Moreover, today's failure was his decision-making error.
He also had to bear the corresponding responsibility for his mistake.
In the distance, Samui, who was fighting hard, and another blonde male, that Cloud ninja named C, hearing their Fourth Raikage's words, felt their hearts shake involuntarily, subconsciously turning their gazes back.
Although separated by a long distance, as a sensory type ninja, C could clearly detect that his Lord Raikage's aura had been weakened a lot at this moment.
This blatantly looked like being heavily injured.
How could C not feel shocked? These Cloud ninja all had sufficient confidence in their Lord Raikage.
But now?
Their Lord Raikage was actually forced into a desperate situation by a mere brat, and even wanted to stay behind to cover their rear with the resolve to die?
For a moment.
C almost thought he was under genjutsu!
This was a development completely different from what was expected at the beginning.
And it wasn't just his Lord Raikage who was in crisis; in the frontal battlefield, they Cloud ninja were also falling into a disadvantage across the board.
Originally thought they could rely on the Two-Tails Jinchuriki Yugito to open up the situation.
But now, Yugito, after fully transforming into a Tailed Beast, was still firmly dragged by Utakata, who also transformed into a Tailed Beast.
In a short time, it was impossible for the two Jinchuriki with comparable strength to determine a winner.
But Utakata could not care; Yugito couldn't.
Because on the left battlefield, Shibuki and Fu were existences no one could stop. How could ordinary Cloud ninja be opponents for these two!?
One was the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, one swallowed the Hero Water.
Even if the former couldn't perform complete Tailed Beast transformation yet, borrowing Tailed Beast chakra, she was still invincible.
C and Samui had dispatched as much as possible, but the defense line was still crumbling. Originally, the two thought of supporting the battle situation after their Lord Raikage defeated Menma Uzumaki there, but now everything had become a bubble.
Retreat seemed to really become the only choice at present.
But asking them to abandon their Lord Raikage? They couldn't make such a decision either. Thinking with their toes, they knew that once they did so, their Lord Raikage would definitely die.
C and Samui fell into deep confusion for a time, hesitating to make a decision.
Seeing no movement from the direction of C and Samui for a long time, the Fourth Raikage's expression changed involuntarily.
He shouted sternly again: "This is the highest order of the Raikage. Execute the order immediately! Yugito, cover the retreat of the main force!"
