Chapter 455 Who doesn't love cute kittens?
Near the Land of Lightning, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, flew at the forefront, constantly gathering Dust Release techniques in his hands to bombard the tailed beasts in front of him. "Hozuki Mangetsu, you'd better hurry up and make your move, or I'll kill the Two-Tails soon."
When it comes to killing, Onoki has always been an expert. Whether it's injuring or capturing, Onoki has no idea how much power he has.
"Ugh, how long-winded!" Hozuki Mangetsu complained.
It was agreed that he would be assigned to the same team as his henchmen, but Payne was too dictatorial, and no matter how dissatisfied he was, there was nothing he could do.
Before the two, the blue giant cat shrank even further and continued its frantic race towards the sea.
"You run pretty fast." Hozuki Mangetsu laughed, carrying his ninja sword and following behind at a leisurely pace, his tone full of nonchalance.
Onoki turned around and glared at him: "Stop playing around and finish it off."
"Yes, yes, yes," Manyue replied, but her speed did not increase at all.
He thoroughly enjoyed the cat-and-mouse game. The contrast between the once formidable Two-Tailed Battaka and its current desperate flight like a stray dog amused him greatly.
Just then, streaks of lightning suddenly appeared on the sea surface.
Thick lightning pillars rose from the ground in all directions, forming a huge barrier that enveloped Two-Tailed Fox, Onoki, and the others.
A burly figure descended from the sky, landing heavily on the sea and splashing up towering waves.
The Fourth Raikage, A, was enveloped in blue lightning chakra, his muscular arms crossed over his chest as he looked down at Onoki.
Behind him, a squad of elite ninjas from Kumogakure stood in neat formation, each radiating intense killing intent.
"Third Tsuchikage, the Two-Tails is a tailed beast of our Hidden Cloud Village. What right do you have to come and capture it?"
Onoki's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot: "What did you say?"
"The Two-Tails belongs to Kumogakure. Did you even ask for my permission?" The Fourth Raikage said, then added sarcastically, "But speaking of which, the dignified Third Tsuchikage has actually stooped to joining a rogue ninja organization. He's truly fallen to the lowest level."
Onoki's fists clenched so tightly they cracked: "You muscle-headed idiot, today I'll show you what true power is!"
Hozuki Mangetsu hurriedly said, "Oh no, old man, the tailed beast is about to escape!"
Ono didn't reply: "Go after him, I'm going to teach this guy a lesson."
Hozuki Mangetsu felt helpless and had no choice but to chase after the Two-Tailed Beast alone.
"You all follow along, stop Hozuki Mangetsu, and bring the Tailed Beast back." The Fourth Raikage ordered his elite ninjas, then faced off against Onoki, confronting him with a fierce struggle.
In terms of pure strength, he was no match for Onoki. Especially after Onoki joined the Akatsuki organization, his strength improved by leaps and bounds.
Just as the Fourth Raikage was about to be severely injured, a dark figure silently emerged from beneath the sea.
"Are you really going to kill him?"
"Black Zetsu, don't stop me."
Black Zetsu calmly reminded him, "I'm not stopping you, I'm just reminding you to prioritize the bigger picture. Although Kumogakure isn't top-tier in strength, it's still a force to be reckoned with, and it will be useful in the future."
Onoki knew in his heart that Black Zetsu was right. Forces that could be won over should not be forcibly pushed to the opposite side.
But this anger... He took a deep breath, looked at the Fourth Raikage, and slowly calmed down his anger. "But I still have to beat him up so he'll learn to respect the older generation."
What followed was a beating.
Seeing that it was almost time, Black Zetsu urged, "Don't waste any time, hurry up and catch up with the Two-Tails."
On the other side, the two-tailed Matatabi dragged its broken body as it fled desperately across the sea. Its size continued to shrink, from a giant beast the size of a small mountain to the size of an ordinary wildcat.
I was in excruciating pain all over my body and utterly exhausted, but I was finally almost home.
Using its last bit of strength, the two-tailed beast rushed onto the island ahead.
In contrast, Hozuki Mangetsu continued to follow at a leisurely pace, inwardly complaining, "What an unreliable person! At this crucial moment, he has to be stubborn and get into a fight with someone. Does he really think he's back to being the Tsuchikage? If he's going to chase the Two-Tails, he should just do it properly. Why does he have to throw a tantrum?"
Well, given the Two-Tails' current state, he could easily take it down himself, so he could have some fun with it.
"Hey, I found you."
Hozuki Mangetsu traversed the jungle and arrived near a stone forest, observing with great interest the two-tailed creatures hiding in various places.
He chuckled as he enjoyed the cat-and-mouse game, saying, "Oh dear, how pitiful you are, you're just like a fragile stray cat. But it's no use being pitiful, you'll still have to come with us eventually."
Two-Tails raised its head, its heterochromatic eyes staring coldly at him, baring its teeth in a defiant manner.
Just as Full Moon was about to reach out and grab it, Two-Tailed Fox suddenly dodged and darted to the side.
Hozuki Mangetsu was slightly taken aback: "He's quite fast."
He quickly caught up, stepping over a huge rock, only to find that Erwei, like a docile kitten, had run to a boy's side and lingered affectionately at his ankle.
The boy was dressed in a white martial arts robe, but his pupils were a clear, ice-blue color.
He bent down and picked up Nibi, then looked up at Hozuki Mangetsu and said with a faint smile, "Did you injure my pet?"
"You're Hyuga Kagami!" Hozuki Mangetsu's face flashed with shock, but he quickly regained his composure and burst into laughter: "Haha, I've long heard you're a top-tier master. Perfect, then let me challenge you!"
"boring."
Hyuga Kagami gently raised his hand, and Hozuki Mangetsu didn't even have time to react before his body instantly turned to ashes, and several ninja swords clattered to the ground.
Hyuga Kagami slowly walked forward, bent down to pick up the ninja swords on the ground, and muttered to himself, "These things are still somewhat useful. In the future, if we melt them down and disassemble them, we might be able to forge some decent weapons."
He put all his ninja swords into the scroll, and the Two-Tails Matatabi, being quite perceptive, jumped from his arms onto his shoulder and gently brushed his cheek with its tail.
Judging from their intimate manner, it's clear that their relationship is already very close.
Hyuga Kagami gently patted the Two-Tails' head: "When you go out to roam in the future, remember to shrink your size."
Then he gently stomped his foot on the ground, and a magical scene unfolded: the island beneath his feet began to move slowly.
It turns out that he had passed the test of the Fountain of Heroes several years ago, and the giant sea turtle under his feet had already recognized him as its master.
Soon, Onoki flew over, but he was too late.
The sea was empty, there was nothing there.
There was no trace of the Two-Tailed Fox, nor was there any sign of Hozuki Mangetsu.
"Hey, where did that guy go? Could he have betrayed the organization?"
