Chapter 119: Don't Come Over Here! (First update, seeking subscriptions)

"Lady Tsunade, is it really okay for us just to watch like this?"

As Konoha and the Akatsuki Organization engaged in battle, Tsunade and Shizune had already hidden aside.

Watching everyone choose their opponents and begin exchanging blows, Shizune couldn't help asking anxiously.

"Tch, it's precisely because I see them that I can't be bothered to make a move."

Tsunade crossed her arms, her gaze carrying a somewhat inexplicable expression.

Although she had long guessed that the massive battle here in the Land of Hot Springs would definitely attract people from Konoha,

she truly didn't expect to encounter Jiraiya here, and even Orochimaru!

"Is this supposed to be a class reunion? Why is everyone showing up?"

She couldn't help curling her lips, then cast her gaze elsewhere.

After quite a while, she spoke helplessly.

"Let's watch and see for now. You are not allowed to act rashly; there isn't a single simple character here."

"Ah?"

Shizune still didn't quite understand, so Tsunade rubbed her brow helplessly and explained,

"Konoha's three S-rank wanted criminals—Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Itachi, and Orochimaru—are all here. Are you going out there to seek death?"

"That dangerous?"

Shizune was truly startled, but Tsunade ignored her, her gaze falling toward Hyuga Makoto's direction.

"That brat is using the Yin Seal?"

Although they were separated by some distance, she was one of the Sannin after all, and her observation skills were unquestionable.

She naturally saw it and could faintly sense the changes on Hyuga Makoto's body, which made her expression somewhat peculiar.

"How does he know this technique? Did the Old Man teach him? Moreover, his Yin Seal seems a bit different..."

The power erupting from the Yin Seal on Hyuga Makoto's body, along with that faintly emanating aura,

were vastly different from the Yin Seal she understood and used!

Such a change made her feel somewhat baffled, because this explained one thing.

"This kid has probably also completed the development and enhancement of the Yin Seal..."

Tsunade slightly raised an eyebrow. She had always been researching and improving the Yin Seal.

Furthermore, cooperating with the Yin Seal, she had also developed the Strength of a Hundred Technique and Creation Rebirth.

She hadn't expected that someone would actually modify this technique as well, creating another direction of development!

"This is somewhat interesting. Is this modifying the Yin Seal itself to enhance oneself...?"

Tsunade thought inwardly. Hyuga Makoto using Rotation to scatter the flames of Fire Release: Searing Migraine earlier had genuinely amazed her.

That kind of Chakra burst was truly somewhat terrifying!

"How did he do that...?"

Tsunade touched her chin, but the next moment her expression changed.

Seeing Wind Release and Fire Release fuse together, a towering sheet of flames instantly swept toward Hyuga Makoto.

Not only that, she also saw a figure flickering with blue light similarly charging toward Hyuga Makoto!

"Fourth Raikage?"

Tsunade's gaze turned somewhat unkind, and her entire body instantly moved.

Even though she had always been outside, she still knew about Hidden Cloud Village targeting the Hyuga years ago.

She truly didn't expect the Fourth Raikage to come personally and directly make a move!

"If I hadn't seen it, fine, but since you made me see it..."

Tsunade cursed inwardly, but the next instant, she herself froze.

Her gaze appeared somewhat incredulous, and she couldn't help murmuring,

"What... is going on here?"

The one who froze wasn't just her.

The Fourth Raikage also looked dazedly at Hyuga Makoto's hand, then incredulously glanced at the abruptly vanished flames.

For a moment, his mind was buzzing!

He was confident that the timing of his attack was controlled extremely cleverly; it could be concealed by these flames so that not too many people would notice,

and he could also use these flames as a distraction to prevent this member of the Hyuga Main House from focusing too much attention on him.

Moreover, he held back absolutely not at all with this strike; what he pursued was a fatal blow followed by a quick retreat!

As a result...

Not only was his attack caught in the act, but this brat actually absorbed the Fire Release shielding his actions right in front of him?!

How was this done?

"You?!"

Kakuzu was also dumbfounded at this moment. What was going on?

Where did such a huge Ninjutsu of his go?

How did it suddenly turn into a dark-skinned big guy?

"Also, the color of this fellow's curse mark is different?"

Hyuga Makoto's previous curse mark was black, and the Chakra reverberating from that curse mark had already made his scalp tingle slightly.

That was a force that was hard to put into words, seemingly carrying natural energy.

And now, the natural energy still existed, but there was an additional profound thing that made him feel fear from the bottom of his heart!

"It seems a bit similar to that 'Man from the Heavens'?"

Kakuzu couldn't hold it together a little bit; he still hadn't forgotten the terror of that Man from the Heavens.

How could this Hyuga before his eyes have that guy's aura?

Even if it was just similar, this was enough to make him extremely uncomfortable!

"You two shouldn't make expressions like that."

However, Hyuga Makoto appeared very calm, his face even carrying a trace of a smile.

"Weren't you two playing quite happily just a moment ago? So now..."

As he spoke, he paused slightly, and then the strength in his hand increased further.

"It should be my turn, right?"

"You..."

This level of strength instantly made the Fourth Raikage's expression change!

He inexplicably had the feeling that his hand might be directly twisted off by this fellow.

"Hah!"

He instantly let out an angry shout, and the Lightning Release Chakra Mode on his body suddenly erupted.

That violent Lightning Release instantly made his hair stand on end, and also further enhanced his body's vitality!

Boom—

A piercing roar suddenly exploded, and the intense dust quietly rose toward the sky.

And amidst this intense dust, the Fourth Raikage, covered in blue current, rapidly retreated backward.

He landed not far from Kakuzu, staring closely into the dust with a tightly furrowed brow.

"This brat..."

If his Lightning Release Chakra Mode hadn't erupted fast enough just now, he felt his wrist might have been twisted off!

"How is his strength so great, and his reaction extremely fast? Furthermore, his ability to absorb Ninjutsu and the Chakra inside his body, what is going on with all this?"

The Fourth Raikage's brow was locked tightly, but he didn't have time to think much more right now.

Because the dust not far away was suddenly shaken apart, and Hyuga Makoto's figure appeared once again!

That pair of calm Byakugan merely swept a glance at him, then looked at Kakuzu not far away.

The next instant, Hyuga Makoto didn't say a single word of nonsense, his figure flashing as he already charged toward the Fourth Raikage!

"Hmph!"

The Fourth Raikage let out a cold snort. Although he couldn't figure out what was going on, he still had the pride of being a Kage!

Watching Hyuga Makoto coming at high speed, he greeted him without the slightest hesitation.

"Since you are seeking death, this lord will send you on your way!"

Bang—

In an instant, the Fourth Raikage and Hyuga Makoto's fists collided together.

A low, muffled sound instantly bloomed on their fists, and at the same time, a visible shockwave rapidly assaulted the surroundings.

Crack—

The ground beneath their feet also constantly fractured at this moment, spiderweb-like cracks rapidly spreading, clearly unable to bear their power!

"This level of power..."

The Fourth Raikage felt his somewhat numb arm, and he was somewhat surprised.

Such speed and strength instinctively made him smell danger, but he also noticed one thing.

"My Lightning Release Chakra Mode was not absorbed. Is the absorption time not up yet, or can it only target Ninjutsu directed at him?"

The Fourth Raikage couldn't figure it out, but there was a faint hint of excitement in his eyes.

"I truly didn't expect a brat like you to pop out of the Hyuga Clan."

He raised his head, looking at Hyuga Makoto with a somewhat chilling gaze, his voice also appearing exceptionally low.

"Originally I planned to act quietly, but things having come to this, leave your Byakugan behind for this lord!"

Accompanied by his low shout, the lightning on his body became even more dazzling. Such powerful Chakra made Kakuzu not far away feel somewhat uncomfortable.

But he wouldn't care at all; in his eyes there was only Hyuga Makoto.

"You still want the Byakugan?"

Hyuga Makoto raised an eyebrow, then shook his head.

"You fellows from Hidden Cloud Village are truly extraordinary in your greed."

"The Ninja World is inherently ruled by the jungle law; to obtain anything, you rely on your fists."

The Fourth Raikage didn't care about Hyuga Makoto's words in the slightest, a sneer surfacing on his face.

"If you want to blame something, blame your own weakness for having no way to protect these things!"

"Mhm, indeed."

Hyuga Makoto nodded upon hearing this, speaking with deep conviction.

"If you want to blame something, blame your own weakness for being unable to protect certain things."

"?"

The Fourth Raikage was somewhat baffled, but where would he have the energy to care about these things?

He still didn't understand whether Hyuga Makoto's bizarre ability to absorb Ninjutsu had an interval or could only target specific Ninjutsu.

He had to seize the time to strike heavily right now and not give this brat any opportunity.

"Go to hell!"

Boom-boom. In an instant, bursts of roaring sounds resounded through the forest.

The churning sound waves formed bursts of turbulence, and the Fourth Raikage's figure was completely untraceable, just like lightning!

Boom—

But bizarrely, the person he faced was like a phantom; no matter how fast he was, that figure could easily catch up.

The shockwaves caused by their entanglement instantly knocked down large swathes of trees around them, and furthermore caused the ground to continuously develop layers of cracks!

"Really troublesome..."

Kakuzu felt somewhat baffled. How did a dark-skinned big guy suddenly pop out while he was fighting?

He naturally recognized that this was the Fourth Raikage, and also knew about some matters between the Fourth Raikage and Konoha and the Hyuga from back then.

But he truly didn't expect this fellow to appear here and make a move so uninhibitedly?

"Did he not learn a single thing from the Third Raikage's lesson?"

Kakuzu cursed inwardly, currently pondering whether he should simply retreat.

After all, this battle truly exceeded his expectations somewhat!

Especially that kid's ability to absorb Ninjutsu; it had completely dazed him.

"Is this really the Yin Seal?"

Just as Kakuzu had a headache, Tsunade was also dumbfounded at this moment!

She had slowly leaned closer, but didn't rashly make a move.

After all, she wasn't very familiar with Hyuga Makoto, and acting at this time might cause unnecessary trouble and misunderstandings.

Furthermore, her mind couldn't quite turn around right now either; was this still that Yin Seal she was familiar with?

"Not only has the strength increased drastically once again, but it can even absorb... or rather, Seal Ninjutsu?"

She completely didn't figure out the logic within it, but she understood one thing.

Compared to this brat from the Hyuga Clan before her, her own Yin Seal truly seemed not worth mentioning.

"This is bad now."

While Tsunade was dazed, Dodai, Shi, and a few accompanying Anbu also felt their scalps tingle.

Even though they knew what the Fourth Raikage did wasn't very good, they couldn't control their boss either.

Moreover, what was most tricky was that the Fourth Raikage originally planned to strike secretly and run after grabbing the target.

But they truly didn't expect that brat from the Hyuga Clan to react so fast!

"This brat is also incredible; he was actually able to block Lord Raikage's attack?"

Shi couldn't help sighing, then his gaze looked toward Hyuga Makoto, his eyes faintly carrying some astonishment.

"Even with the Byakugan seeing it in advance, it's not something ordinary people can do, and he can also absorb Ninjutsu?"

"There's probably an interval, or it can only target Ninjutsu attacking him, otherwise the Fourth Hokage wouldn't be so rash."

Dodai's expression wasn't very good either; he rubbed his brow and spoke painfully.

"It's just unexpected that he could fight the Fourth Hokage to this extent, and Jiraiya is also here. It really gives one a headache."

Such a kekkei genkai Genius Ninja attacked by the Raikage while executing a mission—probably no Village would let the matter rest easily.

Even if they in Hidden Cloud Village were shameless and didn't care at all what anyone said, an escalation of the event would make things uncomfortable for everyone.

"Then what should we do?"

Shi also knew the severity of the situation and couldn't help asking softly.

"Things have come to this; should we make a move and give Lord Raikage a hand?"

"Mhm—, "

Dodai pondered for a moment, and ultimately nodded heavily.

What's done is done, there's nothing left to regret!

As for how to negotiate with Konoha subsequently, he still had a bit of confidence to maneuver and cope.

After all, the Ninja World is dynamic.

Every Village has an unresolvable blood feud with one another. If Konoha really starts fighting Hidden Cloud Village, that would inevitably be the Fourth Ninja World War!

The Ninja World has already fought three times, fighting to the point of utter devastation with dog brains smashed all over the floor.

No matter who it is, no one dares to easily provoke the Fourth Ninja World War!

"As long as we don't actively declare war, we just need to wait for Konoha to make its choice. Also, look for an opportunity at any time, we——Hm?!"

Dodai arranged things solemnly, but before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

"How is that possible?"

Not only him, but the eyes of the other Hidden Cloud Village Ninjas were also filled with shock!

Even Tsunade not far away had her gaze flicker slightly.

Bang—

Only a muffled sound was suddenly heard in midair, and the next instant, the Fourth Raikage's robust physique flew backward toward Kakuzu!

"Damn it—, "

Kakuzu had originally been hesitating and lingering between looking for an opportunity, and seeing this scene, his expression instantly turned ugly.

The Fourth Raikage dared to charge in blindly without any intelligence, but he actually knew the intelligence!

"Don't come over here!"

Kakuzu roared inwardly, using Earth Release hearts without hesitation to strengthen himself.

At the same time, he also quickly retreated to widen the distance, yet what he worried about the most still happened!

Hum—

Accompanied by a roar of Chakra, Hyuga Makoto abruptly appeared beside the Fourth Raikage.

The Chakra on his hand, roaring like a lion, emitted bursts of roaring sounds!

The next moment, he made his move without hesitation, and his attack completely covered both the Fourth Raikage and Kakuzu.

Boom—

A heaven-shaking loud roar instantly permeated the entire forest...
