Escape From Konoha

"Two idiots, all turned into ashes, Yeah~~"

The giant bull spits out a stream of white air from its nostrils, emphasizing the strangeness and excitement, as if celebrating the victory in front of him.

The vibrations in Yunlei Gorge slowly subsided. Under the explosion of the Tailed Beast Jade, the clouds and mist that originally filled the surroundings of Yunlei Gorge had been blown away, and the bright moonlight fell, bringing a sense of quiet comfort.

"However, with such a big commotion, I guess even Brother has been disturbed. He needs to get out of here quickly."

Kirabi controlled the giant bull's body and was about to recover the tailed beast's chakra and transform back into human form.

Suddenly, an unusual breath penetrated through the air, and the river surged, rolling up large waves, hitting the rocks on the shore, and splashing white foam.

In the giant bull's wide eyes, the water level of the river gradually rose, and soon covered most of the mountain, swallowing the waist of the giant bull into the water.

Moreover, the water level rose faster and faster, swallowing up the entire body of the giant bull in the blink of an eye.

The surroundings were quiet and deep, and even the originally bright moonlight in the sky had become extremely blurry and hazy, unable to penetrate the layers of barriers of the water flow.

The giant cow spit out bubbles from its mouth and was squeezed by heavy pressure. It was like being in the deep sea, including the surrounding mountains, which were swallowed by the heavy current.

--Compare.

Eight-Tails' voice sounded in Kirabi's mind, and he seemed to realize something.

——Ah, it seems the battle is not over yet, troublesome idiot.

After finishing his weird rap tone, Kirabi understood that the opponent in front of him was by no means an ordinary person.

At this moment, a terrifying breath came from the dark bottom of the water.

It was an alien creature that looked like a human but not a human, and looked like a fish but not a fish.

The lower body retains the shape of a human, while the upper body has the characteristics of a shark, especially the face, which has completely lost its human appearance.

To describe it appropriately, a strange creature like a half-mermaid that only appears in picture books has now appeared in front of us, which surprised Kirabi.

Having participated in the Great Ninja War, he had a wealth of experience and had fought head-on with various ninjas, but this was the first time he had seen a ninja like Kisame.

That twisted and weird shape didn't look like something a normal ninja could do.

——Bi, his big sword disappeared, and I am afraid it has become one with himself.

Yatsuo said so.

Through previous battles, it already understood that the Samehada in Kisame's hand was a self-aware ninja sword that could choose its own master, but it did not expect that it also had the ability to transform the sword master into one.

Moreover, this kind of transformation is probably not just a change of appearance, but may allow the sword owner to inherit all the abilities and characteristics of the Ninja Sword, combining the abilities of both parties into one, and concentrating the power into one.

——It doesn't matter. From the looks of it, he doesn't seem to be unscathed. It will be in our interest to continue to delay.

Kirabi responded.

Kisame, who had transformed into a half-mermaid form, was already covered in scars, and his arms and chest were even more seriously injured. He was bleeding continuously, spreading the smell of blood in the water.

But even so, Kisame still grinned and smiled slyly at the giant bull in his domain with an indifferent expression. His body swam in and out of the water extremely flexibly, as if it was an instinctive behavior of the body, without any sense of sluggishness.

"Water Release: Thousand Food Sharks!"

Kisame swam towards the Eight-Tails while forming seals.

The water around them fluctuated, and water bombs in the shape of sharks rushed out, attacking the eight tails from the front and sides.

Kirabi, who controlled the eight-tailed giant bull, looked at the thousands of shark-shaped water bombs attacking him, and continued to spray air from his nostrils, causing the water to roll, as if he was disdainful.

The eight octopus tentacles waved quickly, swinging out without any hindrance in the water.

Boom boom boom!

The water flow vibrated violently, and when the eight octopus tentacles were waved out in the water, only afterimages could be seen, and then there were shark-like water bombs that were instantly exploded by the eight tentacle tails of the eight tails before they could get close.

The rolling water formed a repressive force, making Kisame feel a little dull in the water.

However, through the effect of ninjutsu, he also successfully entered the eight-tails' protective circle.

Without hesitation, he continued to swim faster, with an extremely fierce aura, like a real bloodthirsty shark that regarded the eight tails as his next delicious meal.

Feeling this malicious sight, Kirabi naturally refused to be outdone and swung his eight-tailed tentacle to hit Kisame in the half-mermaid form.

Kisame nimbly dodged to the side and easily dodged the attack of the tentacle tail. Then he hugged the tentacle tail that passed in front of his eyes with both hands and tightened it tightly.

"Um?"

A strong feeling of weakness came from the tail, and the chakra in the body began to flow backward through the tentacle tail held by Kisame, rushing out of the body and pouring into Kisame's body.

"This guy can indeed absorb chakra, even in the previous battle, idiot~~"

Kirabi remembered the physical battle at the beginning. Once he came into contact with the big sword, the chakra in his body would disappear inexplicably, causing the speed and strength of his sword swings to begin to drop significantly.

The same is true now. He absorbs the Eight-Tails' chakra by touching the tentacle tail, obviously with the idea of ​​consuming his chakra as a means to win.

After all, in terms of the destructive power of the moves, the Eight-Tailed Tailed Beast Jade is undoubtedly superior.

Although such a weak feeling can be quickly replenished with new chakra, if this continues, no one knows what will happen.

Therefore, Kirabi waved more tentacle tails and called Kisame's body.

boom!

A dull explosion exploded from Kisame's body, and the waving octopus tentacles hit Kisame's body quickly and hard, knocking him down into the dark underwater abyss.

"In this way, it should be able to calm down..."

Before Kirabi could finish speaking, he was shocked to find that in the dark water bottom, Kisame's figure swam over again like a gangrene attached to his bones. The wound struck by the octopus's tentacles began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Kisame wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled strangely at the Eight-Tails.

"The Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki, with these methods, it would be too naive to defeat me. The shark's vitality is very tenacious."

As he said that, he continued to swim forward, thinking that the body of the eight-tailed giant bull was approaching quickly again.

——Bi, this guy seems to have a strong self-healing ability, and his chakra is at the same level as our tailed beasts. Be careful, this may be a very difficult battle.

The warning voice of the Eight-Tails sounded. It had already increased Kisame's strength as much as possible. Unexpectedly, it still underestimated it. Whether it was this rapid self-healing ability or the powerful chakra equivalent to the tailed beast level, it meant a huge threat.

Not to mention that it is still within the opponent's territory. Once these abilities are combined, the opponent will be qualified to directly fight the tailed beast.

It is unimaginable that such ninjas exist in the ninja world.

——In short, we should leave this water domain as much as possible first. The water is the opponent's home field and it is not good for us.

--clear.

Kirabi made a decision, looked at Kisame who was charging straight towards him, ignored it, and began to swim backwards quickly.

Kirabi has estimated that the diameter of this huge water area created by Kisame is probably more than several kilometers. With the speed of swimming in the water, he can escape in a matter of seconds.

Just when Kirabi began to swim quickly and break through the water cage at the fastest speed, he suddenly noticed something was wrong. That is, he realized that when he was swimming, this huge water cage seemed to be following him. He moves together.

"No, it's not moving around me, but this guy..."

Kirabi denied the possibility of the water moving with him, but turned his head and glanced at Kisame, who was chasing closely behind him. The water moved around him.

In other words, if Kisame is not defeated, as long as he is stuck to Kisame, he will not be able to escape from this water.

Once this idea was born, Kirabi instantly gave up the idea of ​​leaving the water.

Moreover, it must be far away from Yunyin Village. If this water area is allowed to spread into Yunyin Village, it will undoubtedly bring about a huge disaster.

Thinking of this, Kirabi changed direction again and moved quickly away from Kumogakure.

Noticing Kirabi's change of direction, Kisame calmly changed direction and chased the Eight-Tails controlled by Kirabi.

Moving in the water, Kisame's speed is undoubtedly superior.

Not only is this water area filled with Kisame's chakra and has little hindrance to Kisame himself, but the bulky size of the Eight-Tails also creates greater resistance in the water.

Therefore, this chase lasted less than a minute, and Kisame had already caught up with the Eight-Tails.

Following Kisame's seal, water bombs in the shape of sharks came and attacked the Eight-Tails' huge body from all directions. Although they could not break through the Eight-Tails' defense, they undoubtedly successfully hindered the Eight-Tails' progress.

And this kind of consumption is not worth mentioning for Kisame who has tailed beast level chakra.

Quickly grabbing one of the Eight-Tails's tails, Kisame repeated his old trick and just hugged it with both hands, greedily sucking the Eight-Tails' chakra.

"hateful!"

Kirabi, who controls the Eight-Tailed Giant Bull, seems to be tired of Kisame's rogue tactics. Kisame's speed of absorbing chakra is not slow, but rather terrifying. If this continues, no matter how much chakra he and the Eight-Tails have. , will also be sucked cleanly.

He didn't dare to bet that Kisame didn't eat the entire Eight-Tails chakra.

"Hehehe, in order to have a full meal, I didn't let Samehada eat enough for many days. When Samehada was extremely hungry, even the tailed beast couldn't fill its stomach. Make it for me Wake up, Eight-Tails!"

After saying that, Kisame, who maintained his half-mermaid form, hugged the Eight-Tails' tentacle tail even harder, fully deploying his sucking ability, making Kirabi feel an extremely strong malice.

Then, the remaining tentacles swung flexibly and hit Kisame who was entangled in him with all his strength.

The water flowed violently, and the waving tentacle tails were as fast as afterimages in the water. Every blow made Kisame's body skin and flesh tore open, and his blood flowed, making him groan in pain and frowning. together.

However, Kisame still clung to the eight-tailed tentacle tail, his body wandering endlessly between injury and healing, showing a firm willpower that even Kirabi was horrified by.

——Asshole, is this guy’s body and willpower made of steel?

It's rare that he doesn't rap, and Kirabi is very anxious about the current situation.

——Bi, ordinary means cannot deal with him. After absorbing a large amount of my chakra, his total chakra has now exceeded ours. If we continue to consume, we will be defeated by him. Moreover, this body of water seems to have the ability to erase chakra.

Eight-Tail's voice was also extremely solemn, telling a cruel truth.

It was the first time he saw a ninja like Kisame.

After all, for both ninjas and tailed beasts, chakra is the basic condition for combat. Without chakra, one would be in the embarrassing situation of being unable to make a living without rice.

And Kisame's "drawing fuel from the bottom of the cauldron" tactic is inherently capable of restraining ninjas and tailed beasts.

Especially since the other party has amazing self-healing ability, it is even more difficult to deal with.

——In this case, let’s use Tailed Beast Jade again.

——Bi, you...

Eight-Tails was startled and immediately guessed Kirabi's plan.

——Xiaoba, get ready!

Kirabi conveyed his thoughts, and the Eight-tailed Giant Newton stopped his tail offensive, opened his mouth, and condensed the chakra in his body, eventually forming a huge black energy sphere, exuding a terrifying aura.

When Kisame saw this scene, he couldn't help but shrink his pupils. Without even thinking about letting go of the tentacle tail, he maintained the posture of the eight-tailed giant bull in front of him and retreated backwards. At the same time, he formed seals with his hands and his eyes were full of solemnity.

"Water Release: Shark Bullet!"

In an instant, a huge roar filled the waters. A shark with the size of an eight-tailed bull ripped open a bottomless mouth with water bombs. Its sharp teeth were arranged like rows of sharp knives, flashing with a frightening sound. The cold light went straight to the eight tails.

Eight Tails also turned his head in an instant, and the black sphere in front of him was launched immediately, breaking up the water flow and colliding with the huge shark.

The giant shark let out bursts of terrifying screams and swallowed the black sphere in one gulp, trying desperately to swallow the chakra inside.

The aura of the black sphere was chaotic, and even the water began to sway uneasily.

The black sphere stuffed into the mouth of the giant shark immediately swelled, and destructive energy escaped from it.

boom!

The huge energy storm swallowed up the giant shark directly. The water area bombarded by this energy storm immediately squeezed out a huge central cavity and expanded at an extremely fast speed, shaking the ultimate barrier of the water area.

boom!

The extreme barrier of the water began to crack, and the energy beam that penetrated from the storm broke through the barrier of the water and shot straight into the sky.

The barriers were shattered and floods surged, turning the canyon for several kilometers into a flooded swamp that was out of control.

Kirabi, who was finally out of the water, took a breath, stood on the ground with a solid feeling, and was released from the tailed beast state.

The whole person seemed to be exhausted, panting, and the clothes and hair on his body were still wet.

"Detonating at that distance should have shattered that shark bastard into pieces..."

Kirabi continued to pant, wiping the water stains from his face with his palms.

"are you talking about me?"

A cold voice came from behind, and a disgusting feeling rushed straight down his spine, making Kirabi reach the ice cave.

Before he had time to think about it, a large number of red bubbles began to appear on his body, absorbing the few chakras of the Eight-Tails. Although he could not enter the complete body, maintaining the half-tailed beast state was not a problem.

As a result, as soon as he turned around, a figure rushed towards him.

Kisame, who was still in his half-mermaid state, strangled Kirabi's neck with both hands, pushed him to the ground, and sat on him.

Kisame's head was bleeding, causing a lot of blood to enter his eyes, and his eyes were scarlet.

Not only the head, but also the open wounds on the chest and arms. Many places were ulcerated, the flesh and blood were squeezed, and white bones could be seen. The injuries healed at a slow speed.

"Fortunately, the Great Shark Bomb ate a lot of chakra from the Tailed Beast Tama, otherwise even I wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed in that situation... It's a pity, Eight-Tails, I won this battle in the end. .”

Kisame was smiling, his face covered in his own blood looking extremely ferocious.

"You bastard……"

Kirabi wanted to fight back, but as the chakra in his body became less and less, the red chakra on his body also flowed back into Kisame's body. He soon fell into a state of weakness, lowered his resisting hands, and closed his eyes tiredly.

Looking at the unconscious Kirabi, Kisame coughed violently for a while, maintaining his half-mermaid state, and stood up from Kirabi.

"As expected of a perfect Jinchuuriki, this is the first time I have been so embarrassed in a battle since I entered this state, and I almost lost."

Kisame twisted his neck and made a crisp sound.

It can't be said that he was unscathed, but his current condition is indeed not good.

Although his physical strength and chakra were still at their peak with the help of Samehada, his mental exhaustion made him want to find a place to rest as soon as possible.

Moreover, in this battle, I was lucky to have taken the secret medicine of the Kingdom of Ghosts in advance, otherwise I would have had to retreat midway. Kisame thought to himself, and couldn't help but feel grateful for his foresight.

Although the four-tailed and fifth-tailed jinchuriki were captured in the past using the same method, the eight-tailed jinchuriki is different from Kirabi. The essence lies in the fact that the first two jinchuriki cannot take advantage of all the jinchuriki's advantages. Their strength is their own. You can resist them forcefully, slowly wear away their chakra, and capture them alive.

The Eight-Tails is not only at the forefront of the tailed beasts in terms of strength, but can also be perfectly controlled by the Jinchuriki. Compared with the Jinchūriki captured before, the difficulty can be said to have increased linearly.

If it weren't for such a secret medicine, the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki's first tailed beast jade attack would probably have eliminated him directly.

This secret medicine is a secret weapon specially tailor-made for him by the Kingdom of Ghosts. It can increase the body's resistance to blows to the extreme. Once combined with his ability to absorb chakra and use chakra to recover from injuries, it can be used to great effect. Nearly perfect power. Despite this perfection, it is only maintained during the period of potency.

However, in this way, he only has the last secret medicine left, which needs to be used at critical moments.

"Next..."

Before the voice could finish, there was a whoosh, and a figure flashed up and appeared beside Kisame. It was Hiruhu with white hair and red eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work. This battle is really not easy."

As soon as he came over, he said something that was neither salty nor bland.

"...It's just some sarcastic remarks, so I'll leave the moving work to you."

Kisame didn't have much energy to reply, so he left the task of transporting the jinchuriki to Beiruhu.

Beilihu nodded, casually carried the unconscious Kirabi on his shoulders, and glanced at Kisame, who was covered in blood. It would be impossible for an ordinary person to be alive, but Kisame still maintained a strong vitality.

Even in the heyday when all members of the Akatsuki were present, Hirohu felt that the strength shown by Kisame was enough to rank at the forefront.

It can be said that he is a monster-like ninja.

After that, the two of them stopped talking and left Yunlei Gorge before the Kumogakure ninja arrived.

…

"Compare!"

An angry voice spread through the air, and what arrived at the same time as the voice was a strong figure shining in the lightning.

Then hundreds of figures flashed onto the battlefield that turned into a pit almost simultaneously, surrounding the furious Fourth Raikage.

"What the hell is here..."

The Kumogakure ninjas were very surprised when they saw the completely changed terrain of the Cloud Thunder Gorge Canyon.

The huge swamps and the broken and collapsed mountains all indicate that a fierce and earth-shattering battle took place in this area not long ago.

The cruel aura of chakra filled the air, making people shiver and shudder.

"Lord Raikage, Sir Kirabi's chakra has not been sensed nearby. It is very likely that he has..."

The sensing ninja came to the Fourth Raikage and reported the situation here.

"Find them all for me, and I must find my brother!"

The Fourth Raikage almost shouted the command, and the huge chakra crushed the ground under his feet and set off a gust of wind.

"yes!"

The Kumogakure ninjas surrounding here were all stunned, feeling an unprecedented pressure, and responded one after another. As everyone performed the teleportation technique, the surrounding area instantly became empty, leaving only Mabuyi and several Anbu who were still around. The fourth generation Raikage.

"Lord Raikage, please calm down. I don't think Sir Kirabi will be defeated so easily..."

Mabuyi took a step forward and expressed her thoughts.

As Kumogakure's only perfect Jinchuuriki, Kirabi's strength has already won the trust of all Kumogakure ninjas.

Mabuyi didn't believe Kirabi could fail so easily.

"How can you calm down at this time? Mabuyi, immediately mobilize 20,000 ninjas to break into the Kingdom of Rain and rescue Bi before he gets into trouble!"

It takes time to seal the tailed beast, this is the final rescue time.

The Fourth Raikage didn't want to waste a moment, his eyes burst out with anger, containing strong murderous intent, and he wanted to target the entire Kingdom of Rain.

"We still don't know who attacked Sir Kirabi. We need to investigate clearly before we can take action. Moreover, mobilizing 20,000 ninjas cannot be done in a short time."

Mabuyi looked at the furious Fourth Raikage and tried to dissuade him under pressure.

"Then use the chakra cannon to level the entire Yugakure!"

"..."

Mabuyi felt that it was pointless to argue like this.

Although she also believed that the organization called "Xiao" was responsible, it was not a rational act to go to war before the investigation was clear.

As a ninja village, Kumogakure has too many things to consider.

At this time, it would be better to give some time to allow the Fourth Raikage to calm down.

After all, the Fourth Raikage and Kirabi are brothers, and having such an extreme emotional reaction is, in Mabuyi's view, only human nature.

But as a secretary, you cannot be disturbed by such emotional reactions and make some irrational actions.

"Lord Raikage, there is urgent information coming from Darui Jounin!"

At this time, a Kumogakure ninja arrived, interrupted the confrontation between the Fourth Raikage and his secretary Mabui, and presented an information scroll.

"Darui...I remember he was commanding the search force in the Country of Rain. Is there an emergency there?"

Mabuyi was slightly confused and accepted the information scroll sent back from the Land of Rain on behalf of the Fourth Raikage.

Opening the scroll, Mabuyi read through it as quickly as possible, and his original plain expression was replaced by solemnity and solemnity.

"Mabuyi, what happened?"

When the Fourth Raikage saw Mabuyi's expression, he immediately knew that something must have happened in the Land of Rain, otherwise he wouldn't have shown such an expression.

"Lord Raikage, to be honest, the situation is completely out of our control now. Personally, I would like to convene a Five Shadow Conference as soon as possible to resolve this matter."

Mabuyi smiled bitterly and sent the scroll to the Fourth Raikage, along with some photos taken from the Land of Rain, for the Fourth Raikage to make a decision after reading it.
