The world seemed to fall into silence.
There was no sound, nor could any sound be heard.
Only a blinding white light that seemed to dazzle the eyes remained.
As the white light slowly dissipated, a faint dark green light could still be seen flickering.
It was Lexon's spiral lance!
In the confrontation between the two, Lexon's attack broke through the obstruction of the Tailed Beast Balls and gradually approached the two Tailed Beast-transformed Jinchuriki!
Damn it!
Used too much chakra at once; it's difficult to mobilize more!
Killer B felt his body was somewhat stiff at this moment. The chakra in his body seemed to be in an overloaded state, making it difficult to continue mobilizing it.
The same was true for Yugito.
She had fallen into the same predicament as Killer B.
Damn... what kind of monster is this guy... even the Tailed Beast Balls combined by B and me couldn't beat his attack...
While shocked by the opponent's strength, Yugito couldn't help but feel depressed. Is my strength still not enough...?
"Lightning Style: Lariat!"
Suddenly, an impassioned voice rang out.
Accompanying it was a streak of blue lightning.
That lightning crashed diagonally directly into the spiral lance thrown by Lexon.
It actually knocked the dark green spiral lance upward, sending it shooting toward some distant horizon.
Although weakened by the Tailed Beast Balls, the power carried by the dark green spiral lance was still incomparably strong. It would have been no problem to kill several Kakuzus, who were used as a unit of measurement for Kage-level combat power. Therefore, the strength of the newcomer could also be seen.
Then the blue lightning landed.
The figure was revealed.
It was a sturdy man wrapped in Lightning Style chakra.
He had dark skin, light blond hair standing on end, a very muscular build, a green "shuriken" symbol tattooed on both shoulders of his bare upper body, wore a wide belt, and had heavy iron rings on his wrists.
He was the Fourth Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village, Ay.
"Brother! Yeah!" Killer B shouted excitedly upon seeing the newcomer.
"Lord Raikage!" Yugito called out respectfully.
"Are you okay? You two!" The Lightning Style chakra surrounding him dissipated, his hair fell down, and the rugged, burly Ay asked the two Tailed Beast-transformed Jinchuriki.
"No problem! Oh~" Killer B shouted.
In a very short time, he had gradually adjusted his physical condition. The Eight-Tails Gyuki inside him was condensing chakra at an extremely fast speed to make up for the large amount consumed just now.
"I'm fine, Lord Raikage." Yugito's condition had also improved, and she responded.
"Good that you're fine." After Ay responded, his gaze shifted to the massive dark green giant. "What is that thing?"
"It's an enemy! Brother!" Killer B swung his octopus tentacle tails and responded with a rap gesture.
"Of course I know it's an enemy!" Ay glared at him for speaking nonsense, then said to Yugito, "Yugito, you explain."
"Yes, Lord Raikage." Yugito nodded her Tailed Beast cat head and, after simplifying the language as much as possible in her brain, said: "While Lord Killer B and I were conducting Tailed Beast training, we discovered two people spying on us. We pretended not to notice at first.
Until the other party made a mark in a certain place. We took action and engaged briefly, after which the other party fled. Subsequently, we stayed at a distance to see if anyone would come to that marked spot.
Finally, as expected, just now, two people dressed the same appeared, so we took action.
One of the two opponents is very powerful, right over there. One is quite weak; he's right under my foot, being stepped on by me."
When Yugito woke up, Kakuzu was already in a very bad state and was dealt with by Yugito in two or three moves, so naturally, she felt Kakuzu was weak.
After listening to Yugito's narration, Ay's face was full of anger, and he said indignantly: "You are simply fooling around! You are Jinchuriki! When there are enemies of unknown strength invading, you should notify the village first!"
"This..." Yugito couldn't directly say it was Lord Killer B's idea.
"This isn't Yugito's idea; it's my thought, oh! Brother~" Killer B continued to speak in that strange tone.
"You brat, acting so proud..." Ay scolded Killer B: "And, B, I told you long ago to only train at the 'Cloud Thunder Gorge.' Why did you run to Mount Hero, and even bring Yugito along!"
"Brother yo, Cloud Thunder Gorge is too boring, yeah!"
"Enough! I'll lecture you when we get back!" Ay didn't continue educating Killer B. He turned to look at Lexon, who had been watching calmly, and shouted loudly: "Your partner has been caught by us. I advise you..."
"Brother yo we already said that just now" Killer B said faintly.
"Cough cough..." Ay coughed a few times and changed the subject. "Looking at your attire, you should be members of the mercenary organization 'Akatsuki' active in small ninja village wars. what is your purpose with our village's Tailed Beast Jinchuriki? Are you targeting the Tailed Beasts?"
"Give your brother to me for some time." Lexon didn't deny Ay's words and directly maneuvered Susanoo's finger to point at the Tailed Beast-transformed Killer B.
Since Kakuzu had already fainted, Lexon didn't bother to hide it.
The Two-Tails had already been signed in, so it meant nothing to him personally. Taking her back would serve no purpose other than completing the Akatsuki's mission, and Lexon couldn't be bothered to do so.
He wasn't a model worker for Akatsuki like Kakuzu; why do so much...
Catching a Three-Tails for Akatsuki as a token gesture was about enough.
He came to Akatsuki to sign in and get free stuff, not to help them do things.
He wasn't interested in Nagato's idea of using force to deter the ninja world and achieve peace.
It wasn't that he thought the idea was wrong; he was just simply not interested...
"What do you want with Killer B?" Ay frowned, not understanding the significance of the other party's request.
"Can you agree?" Lexon said with a smile from within Susanoo.
"Impossible!" Ay answered in a booming voice.
"Can you agree?" Lexon repeated his words with a smile, like a repeater.
"Impossible!!" Ay's response was even louder than the last time. "No matter how many times you ask me, as the Fourth Raikage! My answer will always be the same! Impossible!!!"
As his voice fell, ninjas wearing Cloud Village forehead protectors flashed into existence one by one, seemingly faintly surrounding Lexon.
"Is that so..." Lexon's tone was a bit regretful.
He released Susanoo and slowly descended from mid-air.
Not enough chakra to maintain that tall giant?
Seeing Lexon release Susanoo, Ay thought to himself.
Standing on the ground, facing the numerous gazes eyeing him covetously from all around, Lexon's expression remained unchanged as he looked up at the sky.
What is he looking at?
Seeing the enemy looking up at the sky so leisurely while surrounded, the surrounding ninjas were puzzled.
Some of them also looked up one after another.
Immediately, the expressions of the ninjas looking up changed drastically, and they screamed loudly, stammering: "Up... up... up there!!!!"
Up there?
Ay, who was staring tightly at Lexon to prevent him from making any moves, couldn't help but look up upon hearing his subordinate's scream.
Immediately afterward, he seemed to see something, and his expression also changed abruptly.
The wind howled...
In everyone's line of sight.
A meteorite carrying sparks... massive enough to cover almost half of Mount Hero and fill the entire field of vision, was slowly falling.
