Chapter 57: Third Commander of the Revolutionary Army

In Amegakure, a group of ninjas from Iwagakure marched towards the location where Yami and Zephyr were. Up until then, Killua had not participated in any significant battle and remained unknown.

The reason was the same as that of the Konohagakure group; however, knowing about Konoha's attack, they expected to fight the victor.

When Konoha retreated, some of them surrounded the surviving ninjas from Konoha, while the rest went to the base of 'Yami and Zephyr.'

Yami, Killua, and Zephyr could feel the approaching threat on the map, not to mention the bloodthirsty warnings coming from their direction.

Killua, who was on watch, returned and said, "The Iwagakure ninjas are coming this way."

"After Konoha, now come the Iwagakure ninjas," Yami sneered. "Those bastards think they can beat us just because we fought against the Konoha ninjas and they believe we're tired?"

"You're not wrong," Killua said. "This time, I'll move on my own. Until then, don't interfere."

"Haha, you little bastard, go stir things up on your own then," Yami said with a smile.

Killua scratched his head. It was strange to be called a 'little bastard' by himself. But well, maybe his clone was so into the character that he started to believe he really was him?

'Will the same happen to me?' Killua wondered.

At the moment, each of them had a different line of thought; only when they dispersed would they once again become part of 'Tanaka.' It wouldn't be surprising if, over time, the clone experienced an identity crisis...

Setting these thoughts aside, Killua began cracking his 'bones' as he spoke calmly, as if he was about to do a simple exercise, like running on the beach: "Alright, it's time to make my name known."

"Killua-sama, good luck~!" Hanako cheered for him.

Tatsumaki blushed as she said, turning her face away: "Humph, don't go losing after acting so boldly."

Killua looked at her, smiling, and asked: "Worried about me?"

"W-Who would be worried about you?" She blushed even more, avoiding his gaze.

Laughing, Killua stopped teasing her, as he saw the red dots on the map getting closer.

"I'm going," Killua said. "Just be careful in case I end up letting any ninja slip past me, though I find that unlikely."

After leaving those words, Killua ran very fast and disappeared from their sight.

"So fast..." Tatsumaki murmured.

Although he wasn't equipped with the Rank S weapon, he was wearing the Mana Sage Gauntlets, which were Rank A+, and even his physical attacks dealt 969 damage. Not to mention there was a 150% increase in damage when using MP.

For him, this pair of gloves was perfect.

Like a golden streak that quickly passed by them, the Iwagakure ninjas were taken down by the simple fact that he dashed past them at high speed.

Soon, several of them were sent flying as Killua appeared in the middle of the Iwagakure ninja group.

"Ahhhhh!"

Shouting, Tanaka activated the War Cry and Taunt skills.

Instantly, his fighting power increased considerably, elevating his chakra aura to the point of rivaling that of a tailed beast.

"Who is he?" However, they didn't even have time to think, as an unknown force made them want to rush towards him and attack recklessly.

This was the effect of 'Taunt.' Even if they tried to resist, it would be difficult, even for a Jonin-level ninja.

"Alright, you bastards." Killua enveloped his fists with lightning, which crackled: "Come at me!"

"Bastard...!"

"Insolent kid! Do you even know who you're talking to?"

"Kill him!"

"Me? Of course, I do." Killua grinned maniacally with a sinister and malevolent smile: "I'm talking to a bunch of cowards."

"Son of a...!!"

That was the last straw. Rage erupted among the Iwagakure ninjas.

"Doton: Rock Pillar Spear!"

"Fuuton: Cutting Wind Blade!"

"Katon: Explosive Fireball!"

Thanks to the buffs from the skills he used, not only did his strength increase, but his speed also doubled. When he moved, he easily dodged, which couldn't be said for his opponents.

"Boom!"

"Ahhh!"

The screams of the ninjas who weren't as lucky to dodge in time echoed as they were engulfed by the three attacks.

Some were impaled to death by the rock spears, while others were mutilated by the wind attack. And perhaps the most excruciating were those caught by the fire explosion.

"Idiots!" Killua sneered, appearing several meters away: "I'm over here, fools."

"Bastard...!"

"Idiots, don't use large-scale attacks!!" Their leader turned red with anger and shame.

Such a rookie mistake had just happened because they were provoked a little... It was a disgrace for them to be called Iwagakure ninjas.

Even the 10 level 40 zombies that were summoned managed to cause some damage before being destroyed... Well, they were zombies made through his skill, so they were already dead?

Setting aside these useless thoughts, even with his parallel thoughts that didn't interfere at all, Killua placed his hand on the ground and unleashed a massive electric discharge.

"Raiton: Great Electric Discharge!" He improvised the name on the spot.

Soon, the rain-soaked ground began to conduct electric currents at high speed, electrocuting everyone who got close, especially to him.

"Ahhhhh!"

Their leader, who was at a more distant perimeter and managed to break free from the influence of 'Taunt,' shouted as he realized something: "Jump, jump!!"

After saying this, he slammed his hands on the ground: "Doton: Golem Technique!"

Soon, he began spewing material from his mouth, forming a stone golem about 5 meters tall.

Jumping, their leader, named Jirou, landed on the golem's shoulder while resting his hand on the creature's giant head.

"Attack!" He commanded the golem.

Another ninja who could use this technique did the same, creating a golem to avoid being electrocuted.

Soon, two golems appeared on the battlefield, one 5 meters tall and the other 4 meters tall.

"Doton: Rock Fist Technique!"

A ninja jumped towards Killua, covering his arm with rock as he attacked.

Smiling coldly, Killua stopped conducting the electric current through the water. With a simple jump, he appeared in front of the ninja with the rock fist.

"Raiton: Lightning Palm."

Killua said the moment his two hands approached the ninja's chest, releasing a massive amount of lightning.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

Hit by this strike in mid-air, his scream echoed as his body began to spasm to the point where all his hair stood on end, until smoke started coming out of his mouth and his eyes rolled back.

Before he began to fall, Killua placed both feet on the ninja's chest, using him as a springboard. With powerful force in his legs, he launched the corpse towards the four-meter-tall golem while propelling himself in another direction.

Surrounded by lightning in his hands and feet, Killua touched the ground, using one hand for stability to maintain speed. He then resumed running, placing a hand on each ninja he passed, electrocuting them until their brains were fried.

"Bang!!"

Right after the sound of the corpse colliding with the golem, came the cries of lament from the ninjas who were electrocuted by the lightning in Killua's hands.

"Monster...!"

Inevitably, the ninjas began to lose morale as more of their comrades fell, while they couldn't even touch a single hair on the intruder.

Jirou swallowed his fear and hatred as he shouted: "Kid, who are you? Why did you get in our way?"

"Me?" Killua, leaving a trail of electrocuted corpses on the ground, turned towards the source of the voice.

Running towards him, Killua leaped into the air as his hands began to produce a thundering sound, with more and more lightning being condensed by him: "I am Killua, Third Commander of the Revolutionary Army, remember that!"

As the lightning accumulated, it soon transformed into a gigantic ball of energy.

Sweating coldly, Jirou etched in his mind what he had just heard, now fully understanding why he had crossed their path. He quickly shouted: "Disperse, let's retreat for now!!"

Of course, he had to say that, but even without his order, the Iwagakure ninjas had already begun to retreat.

Meanwhile, in the air, Killua spoke with cold indifference: "Raiton: Gigavolt Orb."

With a movement of his hand, the lightning sphere, which emitted terrifying sounds of a storm, began to descend.

"Run!!!"

"Every man for himself!!"

"My God, how can he create something like that?"

As the lightning sphere descended, the dark sky of clouds became bright due to the intensity of the attack. The crackling lightning almost made their souls leave their bodies.

"Goodbye, idiots~" Killua murmured, ascending into the sky and heading towards their base at high speed.

Not long after, his attack hit the ground.

"BOOOOOOOM!"

The earth trembled as several screams echoed; some even exclaimed, believing it was the end of the world...

At the site where the attack struck, lightning crackled as a mushroom-shaped explosion emerged, with lightning dancing around it.

It was, at the same time, a fantastic and terrifying scene.
