Chapter 1007: The Beating
Amu immediately jumped down.
*Boom!*
A circular pit appeared on the ground, and cracks began to run in all directions.
After entering the battle state, Amu's eyes turned blood-red, and the muscles on his entire body tightened, and cold air began to rise from his horns.
Amu didn't look as simple and honest as he had a moment ago. He stood there as if he were a mountain of steel, and nothing seemed to be able to move him.
The Raikage and his bodyguards were not surprised by Amu's appearance, as Si was a perception-type shinobi.
— Is this Akatsuki's new weapon? Darui asked in a lazy tone and at the same time raised his head and looked at Su Xiao above. — The one standing there must be Byakuya, the Akatsuki member. They say he attacked Konoha. He doesn't look like much, " Darui said, and smiled.
— Don't be careless. I can smell the guy's blood even standing here. He was able to survive that attack on Konoha, so he's by no means an ordinary person, " Si said, and immediately folded the seal, starting to look around the area.
— Si, he still has ninken [1], find him. I'll deal with Sasuke Uchiha and his accomplices. Darui, you will restrain this bull and stop Byakuya if necessary.
— Understood.
— Hm.
Si and Darui both nodded in response to his orders at the same time.
Si stayed where he was and analyzed the surroundings, while Darui headed towards Amu.
The Raikage seemed to understand that the situation wasn't good. He wasn't sure if Su Xiao would take any action.
His armor eventually expanded significantly, and his body straightened up.
In most cases, the Raikage used about 10-20% of its power, but now, at the very beginning of the battle, it had already decided to use 60% of its power.
*Whew~*
A sharp sound reverberated through the surroundings, and the Raikage immediately disappeared.
— Sasuke! Juugo shouted and immediately stood in front of Sasuke.
*Boom!*
Blood flew in all directions, and Juugo's upper body flew off to the side.
While in the air, Juugo was confused. The raikage was so fast that he didn't even have time to realize what had happened.
How could such a body that was almost two meters long have such a speed?
With a pop, Juugo's upper body fell to the floor.
Turning his head, he looked at the Raikage.
The Raikage hit him in the stomach with a side kick, and just that one kick tore Juugo's body in two.
The lightning bolts not only gave the Raikage a terrifying speed, but also gave it a powerful cutting force when attacking with side strikes.
— Juugo spat out the blood and looked at the corpses of the samurai nearby.
Since Juugo was almost killed by a single hit from the Raikage, right now the Raikage was staring at Sasuke intently and didn't pay him the slightest bit of attention.
— Where's my brother? The Raikage's eyes seemed to flash with lightning, and Sasuke's pupils narrowed to the limit at the words.
— Although Sasuke was surprised by the Raikage's speed, he said the words that could drive the Raikage crazy.
— Already dead? The Raikage was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses. "Is that true?" - The Raikage somehow managed to restrain himself, but his body started to use 70% of his strength in the process.
Once he starts using about or more than 90% of his power, the cells in his body will start to break down.
And right now, the Raikage was very angry. Earlier, he found out that Sasuke had taken Killer B prisoner, and now Sasuke said that Killer B had died.
Sasuke's reason for lying about Killer B's death was very simple — he had to give Juugo some time, and only with words like that could he attract all the attention of the Raikage.
And the Raikage turned his grief into anger.
— Electric arcs began to spread out from Sasuke's feet.
Holding the long sword in his hand, he began to quickly form seals with his hands. - Fire Element: Great Fireball Technique.
Sasuke spat out a small fireball from his mouth, but in just an instant, it became five meters in diameter.
The fireball shot towards the Raikage, but it immediately disappeared. When he reappeared, he was behind Sasuke.
Whether it was speed, strength, combat experience, or chakra volume, the Raikage was vastly superior to Sasuke.
Sasuke's black hair suddenly fluttered due to the power of the Raikage's punch. He caught a glimpse of the Raikage appearing behind him, but the Raikage's attack was too fast.
At the same time, a dark purple energy burst out of Sasuke's brain and entered his eyes.
His sharingan started to change and eventually a six pointed star pattern formed in his eyes.
Although he had developed his sharingan into a mangekyo sharingan, he didn't know how to use it yet, but at this critical moment, he subconsciously activated it.
*Boom!*
The Raikage threw a punch and Sasuke was immediately sent flying away.
The sound of bones breaking hung in the air.
Immediately after, there was another loud thud as Sasuke was slammed into the wall by the Raikage.
Sasuke calmly emerged from the dent unharmed.
The dark purple skeleton covered his body with its hand.
This skeleton only had a torso, torso, and arms.
— Obito muttered in surprise. Sasuke's growth rate was beyond his calculations.
Hate was too good a motivation.
— Byakuya, shouldn't you start acting right now? Obito said. Now he didn't want Sasuke to die in this place.
— I've already started to act, " Su Xiao replied and pointed to Amu below, who was just standing there looking at Darui.
Obito was speechless at the answer. He hesitated. He didn't know if he should have used his identity as a leader to give Su Xiao an order, but everyone who had a discerning eye knew if he was the real leader. Even though Obito claimed to be Madara Uchiha, he didn't have any proof of that.
Kisame, Deidara, and the others didn't quite believe that he was actually Madara Uchiha.
At this point, each member of Akatsuki was essentially on their own. Nagato's rinnegan was real, but Obito's identity as Madara Uchiha was just his one-sided statements.
— We have to kill Kage, " Obito finally decided not to use his status as a leader. He was a little worried that Su Xiao, such a fearless person, would betray Akatsuki.
— Of course, if Sasuke Uchiha dies, I will kill the Raikage. How long have you been out of Akatsuki missions? I do not know how other teams work, but in our team, we would engage in battle after one of us died.
Obito was stunned.
— But Sasori was already dead.
— So what, Deidara and I are still alive, " Su Xiao replied and lit a cigarette before continuing to watch the battle with great interest.
As for that answer, he just wanted to make fun of Obito. It became apparent to him that after Sasuke was able to activate the mangekyo sharingan and was able to use Susanoo, in Obito's eyes, he had changed from a normal pawn to a queen.
And right now, Obito wanted Su Xiao to protect Sasuke, since the Raikage was currently fighting at almost full strength, and he could easily kill Sasuke even with the mangekyo sharingan activated.
On the first floor of the tower, a black flame was burning brightly.
With the help of Susanoo and Amaterasu Sasuke began to fight on equal terms with the Raikage.
Amaterasu's flames were too terrifying, and even the Raikage didn't dare to touch them.
As for Su Xiao's response to helping Sasuke, he didn't really want to help him for free.
