Chapter 296: Bring the Hammer Down

The Land of Lightning, Kumogakure.

In the Raikage's office.

The Fourth Raikage, A, sat behind his desk, listening to Dodai report on the Chakra Cannon.

Seeing Yugito, Samui, and Mabui enter, he asked curiously:

"What's the matter with you three?"

Hearing the Fourth Raikage's question, Yugito and Samui glanced at Mabui.

All of Shishou's agricultural and livestock affairs in the Land of Lightning were now managed by these three women.

In their small team,

Yugito handled combat-related matters.

Samui was responsible for intelligence analysis and decision-making.

Mabui managed specific arrangements and tasks.

So, naturally, it was up to the articulate and highly capable Mabui to speak.

Feeling the gaze of the other two, Mabui sighed slightly and then looked at the Fourth Raikage, saying:

"Raikage-sama, we heard you plan to move against the Akatsuki?"

The Fourth Raikage, A, raised an eyebrow and nodded, "Indeed."

Now that Yugito and Killer B had both become perfect jinchuriki, they were significant assets to Kumogakure. If the Akatsuki dared to target them,

The Fourth Raikage would not tolerate it.

With the Chakra Cannon just developed, it was a good opportunity to test its power on the Akatsuki.

Hearing the Fourth Raikage's confirmation, Mabui sighed and continued:

"I have a recording I'd like you and Dodai to watch. If possible, you should also invite Killer B."

The Fourth Raikage frowned, glancing at the three women, and said in a deep voice:

"What is this about?"

Mabui took a deep breath and said:

"We hope you won't move against the Akatsuki."

The Fourth Raikage looked at Yugito, "Is this the Flying Thunder God user's idea?"

Since Yugito, Samui, and Mabui were all present, the Fourth Raikage immediately suspected Shishou's involvement.

Mabui shook her head, "No, Shishou doesn't care about such matters. It's us who hope you won't proceed with this."

Hearing this, the Fourth Raikage turned to Dodai and said:

"Go get Killer B. Tell him if he doesn't come, I'll personally bring him here."

The Fourth Raikage also wanted to see why Mabui and the others wanted to stop him from attacking the Akatsuki.

Not long after,

A reluctant Killer B was brought to the Raikage's office by Dodai.

Then, Mabui activated the barrier in the Raikage's office and started playing the footage of Shishou's battle with Nagato.

"Raikage-sama, this is footage of Shishou fighting the Akatsuki leader. We got it from Shishou."

"After you watch it, you'll understand why we want to stop you."

Hearing Mabui's words, the Fourth Raikage and the others were stunned and immediately interested.

The footage of the Flying Thunder God user fighting the Akatsuki leader was sure to be valuable for research.

Kumogakure might develop strategies to deal with both of them based on this footage.

Seeing the Fourth Raikage's expression, Yugito, Samui, and Mabui guessed his thoughts.

However, in the face of absolute strength, all strategies were meaningless.

Pressing play, the battle between Shishou and Nagato in the Valley of Death appeared before the Fourth Raikage, Killer B, and Dodai.

The trio initially watched the fight with great interest.

But as they saw Shishou's Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence and Nagato summoning the Four-Tails and Five-Tails, the Fourth Raikage and Killer B couldn't help but frown.

When they saw Nagato's Almighty Push and Chibaku Tensei, the footage abruptly ended.

This was because Mabui had edited out the part where Shishou summoned Turtle Island.

She thought it best not to let the Fourth Raikage know about this, as it would expose their previous deception.

Seeing Nagato's Almighty Push and Chibaku Tensei, the Fourth Raikage's face instantly darkened.

He finally understood why Mabui and the others wanted to stop him from attacking the Akatsuki.

With the terrifying power displayed by the Akatsuki leader, if Kumogakure moved against them, the village would undoubtedly suffer severe losses.

Seeing the footage end halfway, Killer B was frustrated and asked Mabui:

"Mabui, what was the outcome of the battle?"

Mabui looked at Killer B calmly and said:

"The detailed footage wasn't provided, but in the end, Shishou won decisively."

Hearing this, the Fourth Raikage, Killer B, and Dodai were all shocked.

They hadn't expected that after the Akatsuki leader displayed such formidable power, Shishou would still win, and decisively at that.

How terrifying was his strength?

But considering the immense chakra Shishou possessed, the trio was somewhat relieved.

With that amount of chakra, defeating the Akatsuki leader didn't seem so surprising.

Thinking this, the Fourth Raikage looked at Yugito and asked:

"Yugito, with your current strength, how confident are you in defeating the Flying Thunder God user?"

Now that Yugito was a perfect jinchuriki and had successfully trained in Sage Jutsu, her strength might surpass both him and Killer B, so the Fourth Raikage wanted to see how she rated Shishou's strength.

Hearing the Fourth Raikage's question, Yugito was startled.

'You've got to be kidding. How could I possibly beat Shishou?'

'He just killed the White Snake Sage from one of the three great Sage lands yesterday. What am I supposed to fight him with?'

'Shishou is so powerful, I couldn't beat him on the battlefield or anywhere else.'

Thinking this, Yugito looked at the Fourth Raikage and shook her head repeatedly:

"Raikage-sama, I have no chance of beating Shishou, not even a little."

"In my opinion, no one in Kumogakure can beat Shishou. You need to be mentally prepared for that."

Although Yugito's words were harsh, Samui and Mabui believed she was speaking the truth.

Not to mention Shishou himself, even the Great Katsuyu Sage could likely annihilate Kumogakure.

Hearing Yugito's words, the Fourth Raikage, Killer B, and Dodai were all shocked.

Dodai looked at Yugito and asked:

"Even with you, Killer B, and the newly developed Chakra Cannon?"

Seeing that the Fourth Raikage still had some hope, Yugito decided to hit him hard.

So, Yugito looked at the Fourth Raikage, Killer B, and Dodai and said seriously:

"The Great Katsuyu Sage from one of the three great Sage lands is Shishou's contract summon. Shishou can fully summon the Great Katsuyu Sage's true form."

"Do you think Kumogakure can defeat the Great Katsuyu Sage?"
