Chapter 78

Above the village hidden in the clouds floated a man with both hands placed behind his back. His eyes were traversing the ground below and eventually stopped at the biggest building in the place.

'So this is the village in the clouds. What a disappointment." Dragon was free-floating in the sky using his wind magic. He would show them the raw power he possessed. And since wind is his main element, he would show them hell using this power.

Dragon did a slow circular motion with his right hand. And this motion didn't look significant, but the wind pressure and wind currents around the village started to pick up speed slowly.

"Close your heart to what is about to happen." Dragon closed his eyes and told himself this over and over again.

'After this. I hope you have it in your heart to forgive me, Sylvia." Dragon did another rotating motion with his hand and the winds got even stronger.

The currents that fully responded to Dragon's call started to form a special invisible barrier around the village. It was made fully from the winds he called forth.

Inside the office of the Raikage, a few people were gathered and discussing a recent failed mission. The famous brother duo was, of course, present during this meeting.

"Brother! Send me instead of those kids. I never fail a mission ya fool!" A man with many swords sheathed around his body said to the scary-looking man sitting in the kage chair.

"No! And how many times have I told you to call me the Raikage when we're here?" The man said to his easy-going brother.

"Don't sweat it, brother! I understand ya know!" He did an embarrassing pose, and the Raikage hit his head on the table.

{B! Something is going on around the village. I think an attack is coming.} A voice inside the man's head said to him.

'What ya say, fool? Who would attack us?" B responded while not letting others know that he was conversing with his partner.

"The winds are acting up. And I feel a great source of power above the village. It rivals, or maybe even exceeds mine. Be careful, because something is coming." The deep sounded voice said to B again.

"Brother! Someone is probably gonna attack the village soon." B said to the Raikage in a casual tone. The others in the room including the kage looked at B with a strange and questionable gaze.

"What are you saying B? What attack?" The Raikage said in a serious tone.

"Eights told me he feels a great power source above the village. He says some fool will attack the village soon." B was still talking with his playful and easy-going tone.

"The beast told you? And you believe it?" The kage asked carefully.

"Ye, ya fool. He doesn't lie." B said and did another weird timed pose.

"Darui, check the perimeters, C, see if you can make sense of this source B is talking about." The Raikage said to the two people standing on each side of the desk.

"Yes, Lord Raikage." They both answered and disappeared.

As soon as they disappeared both the Raikage and B, the only people left in the room felt a weird pressure change and they turned and looked at the window of the room.

As soon as the two bodyguards had left, the windows started to shake violently.

"What's going on? Those winds feel unnatural." B watched some trees outside the window sway back and forth because of the sudden increase in wind pressure around the village.

"B, prepare to fight. I think the eight tails was right. Something strange is going on." The Raikage known as A said and stood up.

"We need to mobilize our shinobi force. We are under attack." A said and prepared to get ready to leave. This is when the roof to the building exploded and a strong wind current swept in and slammed into both brothers.

"AAAH" The Raikage was sent crashing through the wall behind his desk out into the village at high speed. He crashed straight into a building a few seconds later.

Inside the Raikage office, B was also slammed by the wind. But he was not sent through the wall. No, he was pressed up against it, unable to move.

"So this is the famous eight tails. The one who fought against the fourth Hokage. You're not half bad. It would be a shame to kill you. I can see you have the making of someone great." Dragon came floating down from the hole in the roof.

"The question is. Are you willing? Your Raikage failed your village so his time is over. But are you willing to take his place and become a different kind of symbol? One that will make actual change."

Dragon stopped floating down and now he was just hovering in the middle of the office like he owned the place.

"I ain't dying today!" The Raikage appeared at the hole that Dragon sent him through. His body was covered in lightning and he looked angry beyond belief.

"Lord Raikage!" Two people appeared beside him. One looked lazy but with a glint of seriousness. The other one looked anxious and confused.

"So you heard me? I gave you four chances to change your mind. But not only did you not give up. You went to Orochimaru for help. Now that's low."

For a split second, extreme shock appeared on the Raikage's face, but he masked it instantly like a true master of emotional disguise.

"That's why, today, you will lose that life of yours. Bad choices will do that to you in this world." Dragon said and the wind pressure inside the room started to pick up.

"Now come! Let me experience the power of someone rumoured to match the speed of the fourth Hokage." Dragon said and taunted A with his finger.
