While they were leaving, Homusubi still didn’t let down his guard and continued firing Susanoo Senbon from the chest part, Shuriken from two arms of Susanoo while also adding Yasakani Magatama amidst those shurikens and Senbons made out of Golden Flames, and that wasn’t all, the other two hands kept waving the twin golden flame swords continuously which again caused devastating damage to the surroundings, these series of attacks when combined were no less catastrophic than the explosions caused by Bijuudama.
After making sure to leave horrifying scenery to be burned in the memory of all witnesses, Homusubi did not wait here to confirm the result of the battle but chose to tacitly escape.
As Fujin and Homusubi kept moving away from the battlefield, Homusubi turned back to look at the large mushroom-shaped cloud which rose to hundreds of meters in the sky and the endless sea of raging golden flames continuously spreading throughout the forest like an unstoppable forest fire and nodded in appreciation towards his artwork.
Although he wants to fight Raikage in a toe-to-toe battle, but not in the situation Homusubi is currently in.
Kuroto’s face under the Homusubi mask was extremely pale as if all the blood was drained from the body, like a corpse, but that very face still had an unusual calmness on it, as if whatever he had done just now did not bother him, he knew that there are very small chances that Yondaime Raikage will be injured or burned by these attack, most likely Raikage would have managed to retreat considering how fast his speed is but that did not matter anymore.
This is just the start, with this series of events, Amatsukami has taken a solid footstep into the Shinobi world and will soon become so fearful that no Kage would ever think or dare to face any of its members head-on!
“Cough-cough!” – as another violent fit of coughing started, he had to withdraw his gaze.
At this time, the speed at which the Susanoo armor was dispersing also hastened, and the outer armor started becoming blurry, transparent and soon disappeared.
Following which the turbulent golden flames that were ignited around the Susanoo armor also went out, then came the next layer which was the skin and musculature, and then the final one, the golden-orange skeletal body of the Susanoo was left.
However, the skeletal body projection of the Susanoo also did not last for very long. And soon disappeared without a trace
As soon as the Susanoo armor dispersed; the Mangekyou wheel in the eyes also stopped spinning and deactivated soon enough, first retracting back to the three-tomoe state then to the onyx-black color.
But his coughs still did not subside, rather escalated and the blood that has been continuously coming out of his throat could no longer be held back, removing the mask, Kuroto did not hold it back anymore and let it flow out, as a result, he vomited out a large amount of blood from his mouth and nasal cavity, his hand, and chest were already soaked, and he suddenly started to feel dizzy and soon collapsed.
Although not unconscious he didn’t have any more strength or energy to get up anymore.
Kuroto tried to take some deep breaths to calm and restore, the Ryuumyaku also helped in treating the body to some extent, and soon enough he was in a state where he could at least think if anything.
Being able to think and process allowed Kuroto to analyze the current state of this clone body and damn… he could only sigh helplessly.
The clone body was in a terrible condition such that there was not even a single body part that might have remained unaffected, but that is also natural.
To be honest, Kuroto isn’t really surprised by the terrible state that the clone body is in, using Susanoo is highly burdensome even for the Uchiha and here Kuroto not only used Susanoo but also the other two techniques of the Mangekyou Sharingan simultaneously with the Susanoo, and that too when this clone body wasn’t even cultivated with the intentions of being able to use Mangekyou Sharingan as such the burden he was put under was really too much and highly unbearable, he even estimates that he would have already collapsed while fighting Raikage if not for continuously using Yaoyorozu.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf any other shinobi who has just transplanted Mangekyou Sharingan pair is switched in his place and is asked to do what he was doing, that is using all three of Mangekyou Sharingan abilities at the same time, they might just fall in eternal sleep just by attempting to do so, in fact, only using the Susanoo would also be too much for them.
‘Using Mangekyou Sharingan without Uchiha Clan genetics will always be a drag; I’ll have to see that the next thing I focus upon is making a clone body with the Uchiha Clan DNA.’ – thought Kuroto.
He can now judge that no matter the Kekkei Genkai, those without the true DNA for that ability will always have a hard time mastering it, and even if they do master it somehow by whatever method for instance by stealing it as he did with this pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, they will still never be able to showcase its full potential unless they are genetically apt with it!
And this is true even in Kuroto’s case.
The body he is using now is cultivated from his genetics purely, and the quality of the clone is also not much high in comparison to Suijin clone body or his main body, but considering that this clone body is his, that alone makes it have good basic stats.
In terms of strength alone, this clone body reaches the level of a Jonin without counting the Mangekyou Sharingan of course, so it does surpass the majority of the shinobis, and yet it collapsed so easily because of the burden imposed by a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan!
And this has been proven again and again by the likes of Kakashi, Nagato, and Danzo from the original Naruto series. All three of them were able to use the transplanted eyes, but neither of them was ever able to bring out their true potential.
The reason for this?
There are many, but one of the major reasons is the lack of proper genes.
…
On the Battlefield.
At this time, the massive eight tails of Hachibi retracted revealing two figures they were guarding, these two people are obviously none other than the Raikage and the Hachibi’s Jinchuriki, Killer Bee.
Homusubi’s frantic attacks just now also posed a huge threat even for Kumogakure’s A-B Combo.
Especially the last Sword attacks and the fact that Homusubi actually even threw off those two swords from the air using Susanoo! Those two swords flew at an extremely fast speed and were directly aimed at the heads of A-B Combo, if not for Killer Bee’s instant approach to shield them inside the Bijuu’s defense, then it is hard to say whether Raikage would have survived that attack even after taking the sturdy defense of his body into account!
Coming out unscathed, Raikage looked around the battlefield with a gloomy expression.
Right now, he can see many things on the battlefield, the devasted forest, sea of golden fire that was spreading everywhere and burning anything and everything to cinders that it came into contact with, massive ravines caused by sword slashed, cracked up ground, and pits because of giant Chakra Senbon and Susanoo punches, and much more, but the only thing he couldn’t see the presence of the two members of Amatsukami.
That is to say, both of their presence has long since disappeared, apparently, they managed to escape using the chaos to their advantage!.
When he thought of the fact that both members of Amatsukami managed to slip away from his hands, Ay couldn’t help but feel anger surging inside him, gritting his teeth in frustration, Ay slammed the ground with his fist and roared, “DAMN IT!”
And not far away, Killer Bee crouched on the ground and curiously looked at the burning golden flames in front of him, he outstretched his finger and tried touching the golden flames in front of him, and soon cried out in pain, “Ouch… ouch-ouch-ouch… burns-burns… it burns!”
Raikage who was already very frustrated gave Killer Bee a punch in the head {which soon turned into a bump} while also added, “Idiot, don’t touch that fire, these are obviously not your regular flames!”
“Fear not brother, I am stronger, bakayaro-konoyaro!”
(p.s. Uh… that’s the only rhyme I could come up with)
Whoosh… whoosh… whoosh…
Before Raikage could continue chiding Bee, one-after-another; silhouettes of shinobi started to appear on the battlefield, and these shinobi had three different styles of clothing they wore, few were dressed in Kumogakure shinobi uniform while some were in Konoha Anbu gear (Subunit- Root) and the rest were dressed in Konohagakure shinobi vests.
These shinobi are obviously members of the Kumo unit led by Raikage as well as Konoha shinobi who were chasing after the two members of Amatsukami.
Raikage was long since aware of them and was not surprised by their arrival, instead as soon as that particular person appeared on the battlefield, Raikage turned towards him and shouted, “You of Konoha are really incompetent, what good was the entire encirclement when both of the members of Amatsukami managed to escape so easily!?”
Shimura Danzo who was observing the battlefield and some of the signs that very much reminded him of that mountain collapse a few days ago tapped his cane on the ground upon hearing Raikage’s words and snorted coldly, “Raikage-dono’s method of single-handed approach also didn’t work, or did it?”
Ay did not have any words to refute Danzo’s taunt and could only say, “I really don’t understand why there are so many defected-nin from Konohagakure? Hokage should be ashamed of himself that so many of his shinobi are betraying the village one-after-another!”
Shimura Danzo obviously wanted to refute those words but when he opened his mouth to speak something, Danzo was at a loss, nothing came to him that could counter Raikage’s words.
In the eyes of the public, a shinobi who has Mangekyou Sharingan is obviously a member of the Uchiha Clan of Konoha, it does not matter whether he has betrayed the village or not but this fact remains unchanged, so it is very reasonable to classify Homusubi as a former member of the Uchiha clan.
And counting, Homusubi together with Orochimaru, Hiruko, Uchiha Shinichi, etc., it wouldn’t be wrong to say that half of the missing-nin regardless of whether they belong to Amatsukami or Akatsuki have belonged to Konohagakure at some point in time and have now defected.
Because most of these shinobi have defected during the reigning period of Sandaime Hokage, then obviously he must be ashamed of himself, someone who can’t even keep the subordinates under him in check is totally unworthy to be a Kage of a shinobi village.
Therefore, even if he tries to think of something to counter Raikage’s words Shimura Danzo couldn’t think of anything that would pose a sound argument.
While both parties stood in silence and all the other shinobi that were present around did not dare to interrupt anything, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui arrived at the battlefield and they were also followed by many other shinobi who were part of the units led by Fugaku.
Fugaku had a grim expression as he looked at the battered-up and the burning battlefield, just seeing the scene before him, Fugaku can roughly judge how the fight between Amatsukami and Kumogakure’s A-B Combo turned out.
While Fugaku was busy thinking some things, Shisui sighed in relief.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was really worried about what would happen when he learned that Yondaime Raikage and the Jinchuriki of Hachibi had managed to knockdown the escaping Amatsukami members, although he understands that Kuroto-san’s strength is very high, Shisui wasn’t sure whether Kuroto-san would be able to resist the combined might of A-B Combo, after all, both of them working together undoubtedly makes the strongest tag-team.
The reason for worry was more reasonable because Kuroto-san didn’t have Byakugan in his eye sockets, rather it was a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, so he would obviously not be able to use that chakra mode, right?
Fugaku obviously wasn’t aware of Shisui’s worry and after signaling him to follow behind, Fugaku once again glanced at the battlefield and walking towards Danzo and Raikage, he said, “Shisui managed to extract some information out of Homusubi while the two were fighting, and according to what he has obtained, soon Amatsukami will be targeting the Bijuu of the different shinobi villages.”
“What!?” – Both Raikage and Danzo were shocked by this news and exclaimed in unison!
Danzo was surprised because he couldn’t quite understand Amatsukami’s purpose for eyeing the Bijuu, after all, someone like Konohagakure, who is the strongest of all the shinobi villages can’t properly control the Bijuu, so why would Amatsukami want Bijuu?
Was it just so that they can gain war weapons?
This cannot be the only reason!
Because they would be extremely stupid if that is true.
After all, controlling Bijuu is obviously extremely difficult, and if Amatsukami is eyeing Bijuu understanding this, then does that mean they have some means to control Bijuu?
But if they start eyeing Bijuu, Amatsukami will make itself an enemy of the five great shinobi villages at the same time, would they be foolish enough to take such risks?
Because offending one or two shinobi villages at the same time in itself is extremely foolish not to mention offending all five great villages at the same time!
Or do they have the confidence to take on the combined might of the five great shinobi nations and still come out unscathed?
So, many questions, but not a single answer…
Contrary to Danzo who was confused and trying to figure out Amatsukami’s purpose for going after Bijuu, Ay was extremely angry as soon as he heard this information, he didn’t expect that Amatsukami would have enough courage to eye the Bijuus’.
Today, Kumogakure has three shinobi who reach the level of a Kage, and two of them are obviously Jinchuriki of their respective Bijuu, and if Amatsukami manages to take steal both the Bijuu then that would put Kumogakure in an extremely passive position!
Not to mention, one of the Jinchuriki, the Jinchuriki of Hachibi is Killer Bee, who is his sworn brother, so upon learning the news that Amatsukami is eyeing Bijuu, Raikage clutched his fist in anger, whether for his village or for his brother, he would not let those bastards have their way anymore, now things just got personal between him and Amatsukami!
Danzo noticed Raikage’s reaction to the news and spoke after thinking a little bit, “Amatsukami’s threat is greater than we initially expected, not to mention their intentions are more harmful to the entire shinobi world, the other shinobi villages must also be informed of the news that Amatsukami is eyeing the nine Bijuu, as such I suggest that we must convene a Gokage Summit as soon as possible to discuss a suitable method to deal with the rising threat posed by these upstart bounty-nin organizations!”
Raikage thought for a while and he also understood the threat posed by these bounty-nin organizations and nodded in agreement, “As Yondaime Raikage, I agree to the proposal to convoke the second Gokage Summit!”
