"Humph..."
Uchiha Sasuke scoffed coldly, touched his eye socket, and watched Killer Bee fall to the ground due to being caught in a Genjutsu.
Uchiha Sasuke looked up at the startled Hidden Cloud ninjas, his gaze shifted to the calm face of the Fourth Raikage A, and he leisurely raised his ninja blade: "Raikage, want to compete with me... Poof!"
The next moment, Killer Bee on the ground suddenly flipped and got up!
A coat of red Chakra instantly enveloped his entire body!
Killer Bee's arm violently struck Uchiha Sasuke, and the terrifying force from the high-speed movement almost snapped Sasuke in half: "Lariat!"
"..."
A trail of blood scattered in the air!
Uchiha Sasuke's body was sent flying backward, but Uehara Naraku reached out a hand to catch him before he fell off the rooftop of the Raikage Tower.
Uehara Naraku looked down at Sasuke's injuries, and saw that Uchiha Sasuke's chest had caved in, his chest was completely stained with blood, and there was even some shattered flesh...
Evidently, Sasuke's body simply couldn't endure the power of the Lariat.
"What a disgrace..."
Sasori of the Red Sand and Deidara both held their foreheads simultaneously.
They initially thought Uchiha Sasuke could get a good start, but unexpectedly he was directly beaten up by the Eight-tailed Jinchuriki, not even having time to use his Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Sigh..."
Uehara Naraku looked speechlessly at Uchiha Sasuke and reached out to heal his wounds using Star Infusion, after which Uchiha Sasuke wanted to get up and fight again.
Uehara Naraku extended his hand to stop him, speaking softly: "Alright, let me handle it next! You should rest for a while..."
"Senior, my injury is healed."
Uchiha Sasuke had a pleading expression on his face: "Please give me another chance, I will definitely capture the Eight-tailed Jinchuriki!"
"Hmm, I believe you."
Uehara Naraku patted Uchiha Sasuke's shoulder, smiled lightly, and said: "But since the Eight-tailed Jinchuriki seems to be a Taijutsu Ninja, why don't I give it a try!"
"..."
Everyone on site watched as Uehara Naraku stepped forward.
Earlier everyone saw Uehara Naraku healing the critically injured and dying Sasuke, and for a moment thought Uehara was a powerful Medical Ninja, but unexpectedly he stood forth.
"Does a Medical Ninja also need to fight?"
The Fourth Raikage looked displeased as he watched Uehara Naraku walk out, he seemed to recall another powerful Medical Ninja with a bad temper in the Ninja World.
Can't these Medical Ninjas just stay in the back and heal people?
Do they have to come out and fight?
The Fourth Raikage had envied powerful Medical Ninjas for many years, having seen Uehara Naraku's medical prowess earlier.
Honestly, the Fourth Raikage A felt a bit tempted.
"He seems to be a nice person..."
The female ninja Mafui slowly covered her mouth.
This Akatsuki member who stepped forward seemed to have a gentle temper, because even in such an intense situation, his face still carried that warm smile.
Especially since he was somewhat handsome.
Truth be told, Mafui also felt a bit tempted.
After all, the Hidden Cloud Village was full of ill-tempered rough men, or lazy guys like Darui and Omoi, she found it difficult to find a man whose personality matched hers.
Mafui furrowed her brows slightly, glanced at the Fourth Raikage beside her, and sighed softly: "It's a pity he's an enemy..."
"Humph..."
The Fourth Raikage A couldn't help but glance at Mafui and loudly instructed Killer Bee: "Bee, this Medical Ninja's abilities are good, try to capture him alive."
"..."
Killer Bee fell into silence.
A moment later, the red Chakra coat on Killer Bee fluctuated slightly, and his voice carried a hint of solemnity as he slowly responded: "Alright, brother, no problem, if I survive his fight..."
If possible, Killer Bee wished to keep playful.
However, the Eight-tailed Gyuki inside Killer Bee seriously reminded him to be cautious of Uehara Naraku because it felt a sense of dread and fear.
"The battlefield is too small."
Uehara Naraku surveyed the rooftop space of the Raikage Tower, frowned slightly, then slowly closed his palms forming an incomprehensible hand seal.
Just as everyone was curious about the hand seal Uehara Naraku had formed, the ground around the Raikage Tower suddenly rose, forming a massive square arena centered around the Raikage Tower in the heart of the Hidden Cloud Village.
The width of this arena far exceeded one thousand meters!
This was actually a large-scale Earth Release: Great Earthquake Core!
Cloud Village's environment practically negates Earth Release Ninjutsu, making it challenging for anyone to alter the landscape with Earth Release.
Even the Third Tsuchikage Onoki would struggle to create such a vast arena in a place somewhat akin to being suspended in air.
But after attaining Earth Power, Uehara Naraku had no difficulty using it to create such a wide arena space.
The Fourth Raikage's expression subtly changed, he raised his head sharply, staring at Uehara Naraku: "This level of Earth Release Ninjutsu... Bee, be careful, this guy isn't simple!"
"Don't be nervous."
Uehara Naraku slowly lowered his hand, seeing the tension and fear on the faces of others, their vigilance gradually heightened.
Uehara Naraku squinted his eyes with a gentle smile: "I enjoy Taijutsu combat very much, here will be our battle arena, and before one side is entirely slain, let's not leave the arena?"
This sentence was spoken with laughter.
Yet it seemed to elevate the battle to a bloodier tier, making the Eight-tailed Jinchuriki Killer Bee and the Fourth Raikage A's faces turn uneasy.
Even having witnessed the brutality of the Great Ninja War, they felt some apprehension at the calmness with which Uehara spoke these words, as if treating the life-and-death battle like a game!
Killer Bee felt notably unsettled by Uehara Naraku.
Clearly, Uehara Naraku was merely speaking gently, but involuntarily induced a sense of dread, unlike Uchiha Sasuke who taunted and yelled, he casually discussed the upcoming fight as if it were mere chit-chat...
This mild demeanor greatly increased Killer Bee's anxiety.
Killer Bee slowly raised his head and looked at Uehara Naraku, the young man in the Cloud Black Robe still squinted with a smile, but his unease kept rising...
It was clear that he possessed a prowess even the Gyuki feared, yet spoke so mildly, as though they were ninjas of similar strength...
"Alright, I've prepared the venue."
Uehara Naraku smiled squinting his eyes at the increasingly tense Killer Bee, and continued: "Our battle between us won't adhere to any rules, you can approach as a group or by yourself."
After saying this, Uehara Naraku spread his hands and continued: "A reminder, although I've created a sufficiently large battlefield, someone might accidentally fall, the arena is atop a mountain, if someone falls from this arena let's hope their death is somewhat intact."
"..."
Killer Bee looked at the vast arena.
This space was larger than the original central area of the Hidden Cloud Village, indicating that the arena's surroundings were likely all cliffs.
Killer Bee took a deep breath, slowly released his fists, watched Uehara Naraku suddenly gesture with his fingers, and delivered an impromptu rap: "Your power looks cool! Your people are truly weak!"
This was Killer Bee's way of easing pressure.
No matter how strong the enemy, Killer Bee would prevail!
Uehara Naraku heard Killer Bee's rap, his smile gradually froze on his face, and his gaze became somewhat dangerous: "Killer Bee, sir, my temper is generally good, but I dislike being provoked..."
"Stupid, stupid, fool, fool!"
Killer Bee breathed a sigh of relief and performed an exaggerated dance with an even more extravagant impromptu rap: "I love this stage, solve you all, the concert starts here!"
"You fool, who do you think you are!"
Uehara Naraku's figure suddenly vanished, appearing beside Killer Bee in the next instant, he kicked Killer Bee in the chest, sending the Eight-tailed Jinchuriki flying away!
