Rumble!
An energy explosion far greater than the previous Tailed Beast Ball erupted from Bee's body, centered on him, creating a violent explosion, and powerful Chakra waves continuously spread in all directions.
"Are they here?"
The moment Kushina confirmed the Tailed Beast Ball had made contact with Bee, she immediately distanced herself from him. She looked in the distance, where three figures were rapidly approaching the Cloud Lightening Gorge.
At the same time, behind them, many weaker presences followed, though their speed was slower than the three leading figures.
"A familiar presence, is it that guy from back then?"
Soon, a meaningful smile appeared on Kushina's face.
If it was those guys, then she could get her revenge.
Just then, Bee, who was at the center of the explosion, emitted an even more terrifying aura, instantly transforming into the Eight-Tails. He had fully entered Tailed Beast Transformation.
Eight-Tails glared at Kushina, condensing a Tailed Beast Ball in it's mouth that was hundreds of times larger than before.
"Hmph!"
Seeing this, Kushina let out a muffled grunt, and the Nine-Tails's Chakra on her body surged once again. She instantly entered Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, and a golden fox head appeared around Kushina. She condensed a Tailed Beast Ball at a faster speed than Eight-Tails, quickly overtaking it and becoming even faster than Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.
"The difference between Eight-Tails and Kurama is quite large."
Seeing this, Mikoto couldn't help but exclaim from the side.
"There's a legend that when the Sage of Six Paths divided the Tailed Beast's Chakra, it was one portion for One Tail, one portion for Nine-Tails, one portion for Two-Tails, one portion for Nine-Tails... one portion for Eight-Tails, one portion for Nine-Tails. Then, seeing there was still a lot of Chakra left, he gave it all to Nine-Tails. This might sound a bit exaggerated, but Nine-Tails is the closest existence to the Ten-Tails."
Kazuki scoffed, "At least it won't be suppressed by ordinary ninjas."
Kurama was easily dealt with by Hashirama and Madara, making it seem like anyone could bully it. But don't forget, those two were the reincarnations of Asura and Indra Chakra.
And the reason Mito could suppress Kurama's power was because Kurama had already been sealed inside her body. Mito's Chakra itself suppressed Kurama, plus the Adamantine Sealing Chains inherently countered Tailed Beast. This might be power from the Ten-Tails, which is why Kurama was suppressed so thoroughly. Ten-Tails' counter-effect on Kurama is simply too great.
"Your so-called ordinary ninjas, are they like the Third Raikage?" Mikoto's expression was a bit subtle.
The Third Raikage defeating the Eight-Tails was quite famous in the Ninja World.
In the eyes of countless people, the Third Raikage was definitely an outstanding figure, but judging by Kazuki's demeanor, he seemed to disdain the Third Raikage.
Oh, right, this is Kazuki. It seems normal for him to look down on the Third Raikage.
"Come with me, they're coming too."
Kazuki didn't care about the battle between the Eight-Tails and Kushina. Instead, he walked in another direction.
Mikoto quickly followed. Kazuki didn't put Eight-Tails in his eyes, and Mikoto was the same.
It was just a glance, why did Kushina need to fight so hard?
Rumble!
The two Tailed Beast Balls met in mid-air. The Tailed Beast Ball shot out by Kurama clearly surpassed Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball by a lot, crushing Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball in an instant.
Fortunately, Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball was not useless, and Kurama also did not use its full power.
Seeing that Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball was no match for Kurama's Tailed Beast Ball, it produced a violent explosion, and then engulfed Kurama's Tailed Beast Ball.
A terrifying explosion erupted in Cloud Lightning Gorge, and endless Chakra waves spread in all directions.
"Not good!"
The Third Raikage and the others, who had arrived late, felt this aura, and their hearts couldn't help but tighten. Something big had happened.
That golden fox head, could it be Nine-Tails? Has Konoha attacked?
Soon, the Third Raikage noticed the figures of Mikoto and Kazuki. He looked at Kazuki with uncontrollable rage.
"Hokage, are you declaring war on Kumogakure?"
Kazuki's eyes narrowed slightly, and a terrifying aura emanated from his body.
"Declare war? So what if we declare war? When your Land of Lightning harbored the Konoha S-rank rogue ninja Danzo, you already declared war on Konoha."
The Third Raikage's heart sank. He hadn't expected Kazuki to know about Danzo being in the Land of Lightning. He admitted that harboring Danzo back then was a gamble, but he also had to admit that if Danzo's power could be used well to obtain Edo Tensei, it would be a huge boost for the Land of Lightning. After all, the pressure Kazuki put on them was simply too great.
Logically speaking, given Kumogakure's style, they would definitely not mind killing Danzo and then obtaining Edo Tensei from Danzo's mind, or forcing Danzo to hand over Edo Tensei.
However, Danzo was protected by many Edo Tensei strong individuals, and even the Third Raikage tacitly approved of such a thing.
"However, I can understand this. After all, how could existences like you, who are like bandits, allow good things to go unnoticed?" Kazuki then said with a cold laugh.
"So, you're going to war with us? Just three people? Isn't that a bit too arrogant?" The Third Raikage said in a booming voice.
"Three people? No, two people are enough. I don't need to make a move against you." Kazuki snorted disdainfully.
He looked at Mikoto beside him and asked, "Mikoto, are you feeling pressured?"
Mikoto's eyes snapped open, and her sakura-shaped Mangekyo Sharingan appeared in her eyes.
"Easily."
She took out a long sword from behind her, her body radiating a faint lightning glow, and stared at the Third Raikage.
"Many people say you are the strongest Lightning Release user in the Ninja World, but I want to prove that compared to Kazuki, you don't even have the right to carry his shoes."
"Don't be arrogant."
Before the Third Raikage could say anything, his son A, in a fit of rage, charged towards Mikoto.
