Under the night sky, in a valley outside the town, a series of booming sounds suddenly erupted, followed by flashes of lightning.
The valley shook with tremors.
At this time, two figures were moving across the valley with great force, and the most terrifying among them was a woman.
"It's Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin! Damn it."
"Quick, stop her."
The golden-haired Tsunade looked as if she was venting her fury. Her angry, arching brows added to her imposing demeanor, and her delicate, fair hands formed into fists, her nails painted with a womanly red polish. When her fists swung down, the mountains seemed to crumble.
Her equally fair feet, adorned with the same red nail polish, were in plain, old-fashioned high heels, but with each step upon the earth, it cracked open.
Describing Tsunade's battle scene as earth-shattering is no exaggeration; she was like a bulldozer, wherever she went, the ground shook and the mountains trembled.
Under Tsunade's monstrous strength, a mere graze would wound, and a touch would be lethal.
On the other side of the scene, two figures flashing with lightning clashed fiercely.
"Idiot! Bastard!"
A strong ninja with brown skin and his face covered spoke his anger in a ridiculously comical tone, and it was clear that Uchiha Yoru recognized the other immediately.
Killer B! The jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails from the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning.
Goodness, the Hidden Cloud Village had actually let this man loose.
"Idiot! Bastard! Your Raiton Armor!"
At this moment, Killer B showed a look of shock. During their brief clash, he realized that the other's use of the Raiton Armor was even more exquisite than his own.
Or to put it another way, the Raiton Chakra Mode was comparable to that of his elder brother, the Fourth Raikage A.
"Idiot, I know now, it's Orochimaru!"
Though Killer B was somewhat comical, he was not stupid. He instantly thought of Orochimaru, who was best at research and had once infiltrated their village, naturally acquiring this ninjutsu.
He was shocked that the other could train his body to such a state without the secret techniques of their Hidden Cloud Village.
When he realized that his target was not going to be easy to deal with, Killer B's expression darkened as he glanced at Tsunade rampaging through the valley, "The Legendary Sannin Tsunade, it seems she has noticed."
He tore off the scarf covering his face, and red tailed beast chakra emerged around him. Killer B grinned and said: "I'm not good at Raiton Armor, disciple of Orochimaru, Uchiha Yoru!"
The previous jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails had been killed by Orochimaru, and as the current jinchuriki, Killer B's encounter with Uchiha Yoru, a disciple of Orochimaru, seemed almost fated.
Uchiha Yoru, having been recognized, did not seem surprised. After all, he had come without any disguise this time, and now his information was worthy of entering the elite ninja archives of the major ninja villages.
"The tailed beast cloak, huh! It seems this time it won't be easy to deal with."
Although he said so, a smile was seeping through Uchiha Yoru's face. His chakra was already enormous, and it surged even more after awakening the Wood Release.
In terms of the amount of chakra, he was not afraid of these Jinchuriki. It was just a pity that he couldn't reveal his Wood Release; otherwise, he really wanted to experiment with how well it could counter the Tailed Beasts.
"I'm in a good mood right now, thinking of an excellent verse, thank you. So let me play with you, you bastard."
With a strange intonation, Killer B revealed a confident smile. The power of the Tailed Beast made him strong, and seeing the opponent's shinobi sword at his waist, he began to draw his own.
With a swish, the dazzling light of the swords flashed, and in an instant, seven blades fell upon Killer B.
Blades appeared in his palm, mouth, underarms, resembling the shinobi swords, and upon seeing this scene, which was very familiar to the West, Uchiha Yoru's eyes twitched with a strange smile.
"Feel the enchanting melody of this lord," said Killer B with a bloodthirsty smile, biting a sword in his mouth.
Uchiha Yoru narrowed his eyes and slowly placed his hand on the Kusanagi Sword at his waist, not taking him for a fool.
"Seven Swordsmen, a flashy but insubstantial juggling act?"
Even though he knew his opponent was formidable, Uchiha Yoru did not hold back in his mockery.
In an instant, Killer B, wearing small sunglasses, moved, fast as lightning, but the next moment he had to stop abruptly to dodge.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique
Though he was holding the Kusanagi Sword, a huge fireball was suddenly expelled from his mouth.
Facing the huge fireball the size of a house, Killer B's face turned green. It was a trick; he was ready for a sword fight, which was shameless.
With a booming sound, as Killer B hurriedly dodged, his pupils contracted, and before the sweat on his forehead could slide down, a streak of lightning appeared.
"It's too late!"
With a clang, the spark of clashing swords flew, and Killer B's dazzling Seven Swordsmen technique constantly fought against his opponent. Uchiha Yoru, holding the Kusanagi Sword, was not flustered at all; instead, he began to suppress his opponent.
He lost the initiative!
In the moment of their exchange, Uchiha Yoru took the initiative. He was no second-rate fighter; his swordsmanship was on par with ninjutsu.
Likewise, Killer B was not the Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails at the peak of his power during the Wind Chronicles.
Swordsmanship requires time to hone, and with a decade's difference, this resulted in the scene before them.
So fast! Such a strong force!
With each collision of the blades, Killer B felt discomfort. The Seven Swordsmen's technique was extraordinary, tricky, but its flaws were firmly exploited by his opponent.
For instance, gripping the joint that was holding the swinging ninja sword, it was clear that the opponent was exerting more strength. With this collision, the grip on the ninja sword by the joint was not as tight as when held in the palm.
Especially since the opponent was continuously attacking his weaknesses, his mouth ached from biting the ninja sword, and the area where his neck was clamping the sword was almost chafed raw. If it weren't for the enhancement from the Tailed Beast cloak, his teeth would probably have shattered.
"The Seven Swordsmen, indeed well-deserved of their reputation."
Even though there were disadvantages, after getting up and experiencing the opponent's swordsmanship, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but inwardly praise. The tricky angles, even the attack directions you couldn't imagine, indeed easily caught one off guard.
Especially the seven ninja swords, ordinary ninjas in battle would have to distract themselves against seven swords from different directions, which is a huge challenge for dynamic vision and the mind.
But with the Sharingan inside the eye socket, Uchiha Yoru could see everything clearly. Holding the Kusanagi Sword in one hand and swinging it, a smile slowly formed at the corner of his mouth.
"Not good!"
At that moment, Killer B exclaimed in surprise, finally realizing why he hadn't seen any signs of the opponent's Fire Release just now.
Single-handed seals! The opponent had hidden the other hand that was making seals.
Now, as the opponent held the Kusanagi Sword in one hand and battled with him, the other hand completed the seals in the blink of an eye. It was too late when Killer B noticed.
Fire Release: Hiding in Ash and Dust
A surging hot mist spewed from the mouth, with sparks flickering within the gray smoke, rapidly spreading from the center of the two as the focal point.
Under the scorching of flames, the sound of weapons colliding became more intense in an instant, and Killer B, whose vision was blocked, was hastily defending.
Clang, clang~
The intense sound of weapons clashing passed in an instant, and suddenly a red figure was kicked and flew out.
The figure that landed slid on the ground for tens of meters before stopping, it was Killer B wearing the Tailed Beast cloak, with a drop of cold sweat sliding down his forehead.
The Tailed Beast cloak protected him from the burns, but the smoke also obscured his vision. With the cold light flashing like lightning, his Seven Swordsmen style couldn't keep up with the opponent's speed in an instant.
At this moment, Killer B had several wounds on his body, but none were deep, and the terrifying regenerative power of the Jinchuriki was rapidly repairing them.
"Seven Swordsmen, pretty good, but unfortunately, you haven't mastered it yet."
As the smoke cleared and revealed Uchiha Yoru's proud figure, his body manifested the curse mark, holding the Kusanagi Sword in one hand and slowly sheathing it, his eyes looking arrogantly at the opponent.
"Seven Swordsmen! I acknowledge you now, I will cherish these seven ninja swords."
The seven red sword handles of the ninja swords, each forged from precious chakra metal and rare metals, are definitely fine famous swords, rare in the world that could clash with the Kusanagi Sword without damage.
It wasn't that he coveted the value of these seven ninja swords, but an artistic appreciation for the opponent's Seven Swordsmen technique.
Uchiha Yoru's attitude of acknowledging the swordsmanship made Killer B's face look a bit ugly, but he still reluctantly accepted it.
In the duel between samurai swordsmen, the loser leaves their weapons behind, and the winner collecting the opponent's weapons is seen as a form of respect for the opponent.
Killer B definitely didn't think that the opponent was showing any respect, but felt that these were precious and valuable famous ninja swords.
With the Tailed Beast cloak, under such conditions, a ninja's various abilities would rise. Simultaneously, the Tailed Beast's chakra would heal the ninja's wounds, leaving almost no scars, making them extremely capable in battle.
"I won't be careless next time."
Under the Tailed Beast cloak, the wound on the body was already healing with a slight wisp of white smoke. Following this, Killer B also showed a serious expression, as the opponent was very difficult to deal with and not at all like what was described in the intelligence.
The extremely strong physical techniques, especially the exquisite sword skills, were truly of a high-ranking general's level.
"Brat from the Hidden Cloud Village! Hand over the goods, or leave that giant octopus behind!"
Just then, a majestic and stern voice sounded from behind, and with a loud bang, Tsunade appeared cleanly and agilely on the mountainside, while the valley was filled with white smoke.
A pair of jade hands threateningly cracked their knuckles, and Tsunade's golden hair fluttered in the night wind. She looked at the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki with a cold arrogance that was unlike the usual apprehension shown by ordinary ninjas.
"Lady Tsunade."
At that moment, a huge slug emerged from the smoke in the valley and respectfully addressed her, while Tsunade threateningly said, "Slug, if any of these Cloud ninjas resist, use Sticky Acid immediately."
"You!"
Killer B, who was about to use the Tailed Beast's power, suddenly became very serious. Through his sunglasses, his small eyes stared at the large summoned beast in the valley.
The slug, Lady Tsunade's summoning beast, possessed extremely powerful medical abilities and could secrete corrosive Sticky Acid.
Various pieces of information floated through Killer B's mind. Although he appeared somewhat comical, he was definitely a reliable ninja.
"This is what you need."
Without any delay, Killer B took out a scroll from his bosom but remained on guard as he looked at the two.
Upon seeing this, Tsunade let out a disdainful sneer, "Hand it over, I guarantee it on the reputation of the Senju clan."
However, Killer B awkwardly scratched his head and then threw the scroll to Tsunade, while simultaneously triggering a retreat signal flare.
"See for yourself."
In an instant, Killer B quickly retreated, and at the same time, the Cloud ninjas in the valley, seeing the signal flare, turned into black fleas under the cover of night and leaped away rapidly.
"There's no need to chase."
As Uchiha Yoru was about to intercept Killer B, Tsunade's cold voice came from behind, and he could only watch helplessly as the opponent escaped quickly.
At that moment, Tsunade's face was extremely unsightly as the seal on the scroll was released, revealing the legendary greatsword of the First Hokage.
This sword is rumored to have once clashed with Uchiha Madara's fan in the hands of Senju Hashirama, and it was indeed once a famous weapon.
A large treasure sword, as big as a tall gate panel, appeared on the scroll, but its image was somewhat poor. Under the dense web of cracks, it was obviously shattered and then hastily pieced together and glued up.
"Is this! This is the First Hokage's great treasure sword?"
Seeing this legendary and majestic treasure sword now in such a wretched state, Uchiha Yoru's eyes widened, but then he saw the records on the scroll.
[Ninja World XX Year, Gold Horn and Silver Horn suddenly staged a coup during the alliance ceremony between the Raikage and the Hokage. Using the power of the Six Paths ninja tools and the Nine-Tails chakra, they inflicted near-fatal injuries on the Second Raikage and the Second Hokage.
Afterward, facing a pursuit by about 20 men from the Gold Horn troops, the Second Hokage personally acted as the rear guard to serve as bait, covering the retreat of his subordinates and sacrificing himself.
In this battle, the Second Hokage used the First Hokage's treasured sword to fight, which later broke under the strain.]
No one expected that the great treasure sword once used by the First Hokage to fight Uchiha Madara would be shattered.
Seeing the familiar treasure sword, a wave of nostalgia appeared in Tsunade's eyes, as if explaining, she murmured to herself: "This sword had already been scarred after the battle with Uchiha Madara's fan, and later it could not withstand the pressure of battle and shattered, which was also the arrangement of fate."
It turns out that this sword was already damaged, and it was during the fight with Uchiha Madara.
Suddenly, Uchiha Yoru, standing beside her, showed an embarrassed smile; this was all the affairs of the previous generations, and for him, it was many generations ago.
He wasn't going to take the blame for this.
After resealing the great treasure sword, Tsunade took the scroll into her arms, and upon seeing this, Uchiha Yoru laughed casually and said, "I see the material is also incredibly precious, maybe you can make a pair of gauntlets."
"Gauntlets? Do I need such a thing?"
Hearing such a lame suggestion, Tsunade immediately got angry, glared fiercely at the other party, and said irritably, "I think you're lacking a suit of armor, why don't you turn your Uchiha clan's fan into armor?"
With that, Uchiha Yoru was at a loss for words; he would like to, but the problem is that Uchiha's fan had been missing for many years, and only he knew the clue, but he could not retrieve it.
