Chapter 46: Flowers and Applause
Chapter 46: Flowers and Applause
As the Eight-Tails, Gyuki, with its keen perception, used three "very" to warn Killer B, indicating the depth of its wariness towards the situation.
Killer B was taken aback.
In all these years, it was the first time he had heard Gyuki speak with such caution.
Even when referring to Killer B's older brother, Gyuki's evaluation fell just short of comparing him to the Third Raikage.
It was common knowledge that the Third Raikage had personally severed one of Gyuki's horns.
And yet, even then, the Eight-Tails, Gyuki, had never shown such wariness as it did now.
Yes.
Utter wariness.
As partners with a deep spiritual connection, Killer B could sense that Gyuki was feeling agitated, even though Hagoromo Otsutsuki was just standing there, motionless.
Killer B couldn't understand why. Hagoromo Otsutsuki had been famous in his lifetime, but now he was in a Impure World Reincarnation state. With their combined strength, there was no need to be wary, and yet Gyuki's reaction was so intense!
"Look at his appearance!" Gyuki urged.
Killer B glanced over, curious.
Surprisingly youthful.
And like himself, incredibly handsome.
What's the problem?
Killer B was about to retort when suddenly,
An idea popped into his head.
Killer B stroked his chin.
"I vaguely recall the intelligence mentioning that those resurrected by Impure World Reincarnation would have cracks all over their bodies."
"Huh? This guy before us doesn't match that description at all!"
Killer B finally realized the gravity of the situation. He slapped his thighs and pointed at Hagoromo Otsutsuki, exclaiming in astonishment,
"I see it now!"
Hagoromo Otsutsuki turned his gaze from Killer B to the Fourth Raikage, A.
Noting the heavy expression on the Raikage's face, Hagoromo offered a faint smile and said,
"Are you still deceiving yourself? A, it's been a while since I've heard that name. It reminds me of an old friend. Let's just stick with calling you Fourth, shall we? Deep down, you already know the truth. Don't you, Fourth?"
"No! That's impossible!"
The Fourth Raikage, A, clenched his large fists tightly, his eyes sharply fixed on Hagoromo, not missing a single detail.
"You've been dead for over fifty years! How could you possibly be resurrected? No one can achieve that!"
If Hagoromo Otsutsuki had truly returned, it would be an earth-shattering event for the ninja world.
The Fourth Raikage, A, desperately hoped that this wasn't the case.
But sometimes, things just don't go the way one hopes.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki surveyed the room, taking in the expressions of the Cloud ninjas, which mirrored the Raikage's, and shook his head.
"Mortals are mortals not because their limits are inherently low. It's because they willingly set limits for themselves."
"Just because others can't do something doesn't mean I can't."
"For I am Hagoromo Otsutsuki!"
With the declaration of his name, the God's Death Valley fell into a profound silence.
"Bee! Get A to retreat quickly! With just you guys here, it's impossible to complete the mission." Gyuki spoke gravely to Killer B.
Although it had never personally encountered Hagoromo Otsutsuki, through him, it was reminded of a man who had left a deep impression—
Hashirama Senju.
The tailed beasts, once believed to be bringers of destruction and catastrophe, were reduced to mere playthings in his hands.
Gyuki, having experienced this firsthand, had no desire to face another legendary figure of the same era, one who had fought Hashirama Senju to a standstill.
Upon hearing Gyuki's words, Killer B, for once, turned serious.
However, he didn't try to persuade his brother; instead, he simply gripped the hilts of his swords, ready to act on his brother's command at any moment.
"Whether your resurrection is true or false, I will send you back to where you belong!"
"Oh?" Yuyi Xuan Yue tilted his head and replied nonchalantly, "And do you think you're qualified?"
"Charge!" The Fourth Raikage's eyes glinted with a cold light as he led the elite Cloud ninjas into battle.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Pillar!"
In an instant, several Cloud ninjas clapped their hands together, emitting a brilliant flash of light that enveloped Yuyi Xuan Yue's vision.
This technique was not merely a visual obstruction; it was a clever ruse to cast genjutsu on their opponent without them realizing it.
Many ninjas who were unfamiliar with this tactic would easily fall prey to it.
However, Yuyi Xuan Yue merely chuckled. "Not bright enough. Put more power into it."
The intense light intensified.
Simultaneously, a burly figure, backlit by the bright light, charged forward with a ferocious burst of lightning.
It was the familiar and formidable Double Lariat.
Watching the scene unfold, a flicker of memory crossed Yuyi Xuan Yue's eyes.
Then—
Smack!
A steel-like palm firmly caught the incoming elbow attack.
"The Raikage, always so impatient," Yuyi Xuan Yue remarked, facing the Fourth Raikage at close range. "Since you were the first to arrive, I'll make you my gift of gratitude."
"What nonsense are you spouting?!" The bewildered Fourth Raikage transformed his other palm into a blade and swung it viciously once more.
Boom!
A massive crater formed beneath their feet as Yuyi Xuan Yue and the Fourth Raikage exerted force with their feet.
Within the deafening roar of space struggling to contain their power, Yuyi Xuan Yue, while grappling with the Fourth Raikage, continued calmly, "A legendary comeback deserves flowers and applause to make it grand and festive."
"The blood of the Cloud ninjas, the hands of the Raikage. Fourth Raikage, don't you think this is grand enough?"
Finally, the Fourth Raikage understood the implication of Yuyi Xuan Yue's words.
"You..."
Enraged, the Fourth Raikage was about to unleash his lightning-style chakra once more.
Yuyi Xuan Yue suddenly closed the distance, shrugged off the Fourth Raikage's grip, and threw him away with great force.
In the next instant, Yuyi Xuan Yue spun around, flipped his palm, and caught a kunai in his hand, blocking and intercepting the slashes that came from bizarre angles.
"Wow, you can block that? What about seven blades? Let's see your graceful dance against that, mister!"
Kiler B's voice, filled with excitement, rang out.
Seeing that his two blades were ineffective, he trembled and instantly shot out all seven of his Ninja Art Blades.
With a swift movement, Killer B used various parts of his body to hold the blades and then spun around, using a strange taijutsu to attack Yuyi Xuan Yue from unpredictable angles with incredible speed.
Riiiip!
The black cloak was slashed, and Yuyi Xuan Yue barely dodged a blade that came from an unexpected angle. He commented, "Not bad knife skills.
"But you're not dancing enough."
