Crossover Anime: Plundering the Heavens and Building a Dimensional Empire

Page 54

His entire body crackled with arcs of electricity, the lightning converging on his left hand, the only usable arm of the Fourth Raikage, as his right hand had been severed by Bai Mu in the previous battle.

The key point is that even the Fourth Raikage himself couldn't react. He only realized he had lost his right hand when it was gone, which undoubtedly fueled his hatred for White Maki.

Having suffered such a great loss, how can we explain ourselves if we just slink away like this?

Knowing this, the Fourth Raikage chose to fight to the death.

He knew very well that Bai Mu might have been greatly exhausted, but could he still kill him?

I don't know, but I have to do it.

Even if it comes at a great cost.

You have to do it this way.

The speed is at its maximum.

The Fourth Raikage fully utilized his speed advantage, even faster than before, as his left fist, enveloped in lightning, charged towards Bai Mu with all his might.

However, facing the Fourth Raikage's desperate attack, Bai Mu simply raised his right hand, and the golden light around him instantly became even more dazzling.

Then came a golden beam of light that pierced through the Fourth Raikage, who was moving at high speed. His most prized Lightning Release armor was completely ineffective in protecting him.

Blood gushed out instantly, and the Fourth Raikage, who had just taken up the mantle of Kumogakure and ascended to the throne, was sent flying backward and crashed to the ground.

A wound the size of a bowl appeared on his chest, and blood kept gushing out. This was right where his heart was located, and just a little bit lower down, it was right next to his heart, grazing past it.

However, such damage is irreversible. Although it didn't pierce the heart, it doesn't mean the Fourth Raikage can survive, because it has already caused massive internal bleeding.

With this kind of bleeding, death was only a matter of time. The difference was that the heart was pierced, and he died on the spot, while he is still lingering on.

"Big brother!"

Killer Bee regained his human form and quickly landed beside the Fourth Raikage, extremely agitated, with a hint of fear on his face.

The Fourth Raikage's injuries were beyond his imagination; if he didn't receive treatment, he feared...

"By the way, let's go!"

The Fourth Raikage, blood gushing from his mouth, looked with difficulty at his younger brother Killer Bee, muttering that he hoped his brother could escape quickly.

We can't win, we can't win at all, we have to run.

If they don't run away, not only will they perish, but Killer Bee will too, which means the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki will fall into Konoha's hands.

This is unacceptable to the Hidden Cloud Village, so he must ensure Killer Bee's safe evacuation and return to the Hidden Cloud Village's headquarters. But is that really safe?

The Fourth Raikage didn't know; he couldn't see what would happen next. He could only do his best to make arrangements and hope everything would be alright.

Konoha wouldn't go so far as to exterminate them all, would it?

"No, I can't leave." Killer Bee was naturally unwilling. He wanted to escape with the Fourth Raikage, not let his older brother die here.

"Beetle, don't be stubborn. I'm not going to make it. You need to retreat quickly and tell the village to prepare, otherwise Kumogakure will be finished..." The Fourth Raikage had entered the final stage, and he knew that he was about to die. So, in order for Killer Bee to live, he used his last strength to scold his younger brother.

Bai Mu remained standing in mid-air, the golden light emanating from his body still present.

He crossed his arms, his face full of arrogance, and looked at Killer Bee, saying softly, "Your older brother is right, you can escape. I'll give you a chance, but only five minutes. Five minutes is enough time for you to leave."

Bai Mu paused briefly before continuing, "We will depart in five minutes. I hope your Cloud Village headquarters will be prepared to welcome us."

This is humiliating!

Whether it was the Fourth Raikage, who was on the verge of death, or Killer Bee, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown, they both knew the purpose of Bai Mu's actions.

This is a blatant humiliation, a mockery of Yunyin, but what can be done about it now?

The Fourth Raikage, the fourth Raikage of Kumogakure, who had just taken office.

How long has it been? Is it already about to perish?

Kirabi could not accept this.

I really can't accept this.

Bai Mu didn't care about any of that, and said coldly, "The countdown has started, aren't you leaving?"

"Compare!"

The Fourth Raikage used his last strength, hoping that his younger brother would prioritize the greater good and not fall down here no matter what. He was already gone, but the Eight-Tails could not be harmed.

You are either the Jinchūriki of Kumogakure or the Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails; you absolutely cannot fall into the hands of Konoha.

Seeing this, Killer Bee clenched his fists, tears streaming down his face. Looking at the Fourth Raikage, who was near death, he could only lament his own powerlessness.

He glared at Bai Mu with hatred in his eyes, gritting his teeth as he said, "Uchiha Bai Mu, I will not let you get away with this."

After uttering those harsh words, Killer Bee quickly turned around and ran towards the woods.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the dense forest.

With Killer Bee's departure, the Fourth Raikage finally breathed a sigh of relief, and as that breath dissipated, the final moment naturally arrived.

The Fourth Raikage, who had only recently taken office, had no chance to shine or realize his ambitions, and could only die with resentment.

With the death of the Fourth Raikage, Killer Bee's hasty retreat, and the deaths of all twelve Cloud Ninja, Konoha emerged victorious in this encounter.

Not only were twelve elite ninjas from Kumogakure killed, but the Fourth Raikage was also killed. Only the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki escaped, and he was deliberately let go. So it's no exaggeration to say that they won a great victory.

At this moment, Bai Mu slowly landed, and the golden light on his body dissipated. Tsunade walked over, followed by Esdeath and Alice Lise.

Alice Lise is fine, she doesn't feel anything.

But Esdeath is different.

Because this battle is boring.

The enemy is too weak.

"Bai Mu, if this is all there is to ninjas, I can only say it's very disappointing." Esdeath could no longer tolerate dealing with so many weaklings; couldn't she at least have a decent strong ninja among them?

To be honest, I just found it boring, really boring.

Tsunade:"……"

I haven't even said anything, why are you in such a hurry to say something?

And why does your tone of voice sound so irritating?

"Esdeath, I've realized you really deserve a beating." Tsunade had to bring this up, her face full of displeasure.

What are you doing?

You really think you're invincible?

"Oh? Is that so?" Tsunade's words didn't affect Esdeath at all; on the contrary, they excited her greatly. "Want to fight me?"

"Esdeath, don't do anything reckless." Of course, Bai Mu knew her too well and immediately stopped her.

"I didn't do anything reckless, but you let them go. Are you trying to wipe them all out?" Esdeath pursed her lips, seemingly unconcerned, but she was very concerned about Bai Mu's next move.

"So big?"

Tsunade immediately had a headache.

Killing the Raikage was already a bit too crazy, but if they also wiped out the few thousand ninja from Kumogakure, it would truly be a fight to the death.

“I think since we’ve already taken down the Raikage, the village chief, there’s nothing wrong with continuing to kill,” Alice Lise said quietly, but then launched a major attack.

Why not kill them?

In my opinion, he should be killed; he must be killed.

Tsunade:"???"

No, are you all that crazy?

For Tsunade, things felt a bit out of control. It seemed like none of them were quite right; they all wanted to kill everyone.

This is going to result in rivers of blood!

But the question is, is this approach reasonable or not?

Tsunade realized that this was not right and that they shouldn't do it this way, so she immediately objected: "It's not that I have a problem with it, but I feel that we can't do it this way."

"What's the problem?"

Esdeath raised an eyebrow and asked in return.

At least she doesn't think it's the wrong thing to do.

Also, Alice, I'm very satisfied with what you said!

"Bai Mu, what do you think?" Tsunade asked, too lazy to dwell on Esdeath's words. It was more important to find out Bai Mu's opinion.

What you're saying doesn't count; it depends on what Bai Mu thinks.

"Then we'll see if Yunyin surrenders or not," Bai Mu said with a faint smile, unhurriedly.

What do you think?

That depends on the Cloud Hidden Sect.

If you know what's good for you, then surrender.

If they are oblivious and stubbornly resist to the end, the only option is to kill them.

"Alright, that's the same as saying nothing." Tsunade sighed softly, knowing that this was just nonsense. The Fourth Raikage had been killed, so how could the Cloud Village surrender?

Even if they were to surrender, they wouldn't surrender immediately; they would continue playing.

If a fight breaks out, it will undoubtedly be easy to lose control. But if so many people are killed, then Cloud Village will fall into ruin. If it benefits others, wouldn't that be a loss?

"It's alright, we don't need to rush to make a decision. Our goal is simple: to end this battle and then return to Konoha to seize supreme power."

Bai Mu paused slightly at this point, then looked at Tsunade and said meaningfully, "The position of Hokage is really about to change."

Tsunade's expression changed slightly, but she had nothing to say about it, because from the moment she agreed to Bai Mu's request, there was no turning back.

"Changing the position of Hokage is not so easy. I don't want bloodshed. It's okay outside, but not in Konoha. The change of power should be smooth."

Knowing this, Tsunade still hoped things would proceed smoothly and not escalate into a bloodbath.

This is possible outside, but not inside the village.

Konoha is very important to Tsunade.

That was the village her grandfather had established, the place where her family lived. Even though the Senju clan had declined and her closest relatives were gone, the Senju bloodline still remained in Konoha. They had simply become ordinary, abandoned the Senju surname, and completely integrated into Konoha, implementing the policies of her great-grandfather, Tobirama Senju.
