Chapter 999

Amu jumped down from the high place.

Boom!

A circular pit appeared on the ground, filled with spiderweb-shaped cracks. After entering the combat state, Amu's eyes were blood red, its muscles were knotted, and wisps of cold air drifted from the two horns pointing to the sky.

At this time, Amu no longer had its usual honesty. It just stood there like a steel chariot, and it seemed that nothing could stop it.

Amu appeared, but the Raikage and his two guards were not surprised. Shi, among the three, was a sensory-type ninja.

"Is this a weapon cultivated by the Akatsuki organization?"

Darui spoke in a lazy tone, while looking up at Su Xiao in the high place.

"The one in the high place should be the Akatsuki member Bai Ye. It is said that he attacked Konoha. He doesn't look like much."

Darui smiled.

"Don't be careless. Even from dozens of meters away, I can smell the bloody scent on that guy. Being able to survive after attacking Konoha, he is definitely no ordinary person."

Shi's hands formed seals; he was sensing the situation around him.

"Shi, according to intelligence, there should also be a sensory-type woman. Find her first. I will deal with Uchiha Sasuke and his accomplices. Darui, you are responsible for holding back that cow and the Akatsuki member Bai Ye."

"Understood."

"Hmm."

Shi and Darui began to take action. Shi just stood in place, while Darui walked toward Amu.

The Raikage also seemed to know that the situation was bad. He could not be sure whether Su Xiao, who was sitting in the high place, would take action. Therefore, he stepped on the ground, and the Lightning Armor on his body clearly expanded by a circle. His original slicked-back hair stood up straight, like a hedgehog.

In most cases, the Raikage would only activate his body to about 10%–20%, but now, he directly activated his body to 60%.

Whoosh~

A piercing sound of breaking air came, and the Raikage A disappeared instantly from where he was.

"Sasuke!"

Jugo roared and immediately blocked in front of Sasuke.

Bang!

Blood splashed everywhere, and Jugo's upper body flew out directly, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

In mid-air, Jugo was still in a dazed state. The Raikage was too fast, so fast that he didn't even know what had happened. That nearly two-meter-tall body could actually explode with such speed? Are you kidding me?

With a thud, Jugo's upper body landed in a pile of rubble. He turned his head to look at the Raikage. The Raikage was maintaining a side-swinging punch posture. It was precisely this punch that had broken Jugo's body into two sections. Lightning attribute not only gave the Raikage terrifying speed but also made his side-swinging punch possess powerful cutting force.

"Cough, cough..."

Jugo coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood and looked at the few samurai corpses not far away.

To say nothing of Jugo nearly being killed by the Raikage in one punch, at this moment, the Raikage was staring at Sasuke.

"Where is my brother Bee?"

There seemed to be electric arcs flickering in the Raikage's pupils, and Sasuke's pupils had already shrunk to the extreme.

"Dead."

Although Sasuke was very surprised by the Raikage's speed, he said words that made the Raikage furious.

"Dead?"

The Raikage was stunned, then returned to normal.

"Is that so."

For some reason, the Raikage recovered his calm from his anger. His body began to activate at high speed, activating to 70%. You know, once the activation degree exceeds 90%, the cells in his body will exceed their bearing capacity and collapse.

The Raikage was truly angry. The intelligence he received was that Sasuke had taken Killer Bee away, and now, he had received the news of Killer Bee's death.

The reason Sasuke lied that Killer Bee was dead was because he thought Jugo might have already died at the Raikage's hands, and he wanted to make the Raikage feel grief so that he would show flaws during the battle.

Things went contrary to his wishes. The Raikage instantly accepted the news of Killer Bee's death and turned his grief and indignation into anger.

"Chidori Current."

Electric arcs spread from Sasuke's feet. He held his long sword in both hands and quickly formed seals with his hands.

"Fire Style: Great Wu Huoqiu Technique."

Sasuke spat out a small fireball from his mouth. The fireball grew in the wind and instantly turned into a large fireball with a diameter of five meters. This was his most commonly used Fire Style.

The Great Wu Huoqiu attacked the Raikage, and the Raikage disappeared again. When he appeared again, he was already behind Sasuke.

Whether it was speed, strength, combat experience, or chakra volume, the Raikage was crushing Sasuke.

Sasuke's black hair was blown up by the strong wind brought by the Raikage. He had already sensed that the Raikage was behind him, but the Raikage's punching speed was too fast.

At this moment, a dark purple energy surged into Sasuke's brain and entered his eyes. The three-tomoe Sharingan rotated, and finally formed a six-pointed star pattern.

Sasuke had actually opened the Mangekyo Sharingan long ago, but he was not proficient in using it, belonging to the type that worked sometimes and didn't work other times. In this life-and-death moment, Sasuke fully opened the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Boom!

The Raikage swung a punch down, and Sasuke flew out, with the sound of breaking bones vaguely audible.

Another loud bang, and Sasuke was directly smashed into the wall by the Raikage's punch, creating a dent several meters deep.

Sasuke stood up from the ground. He was unscathed. A dark purple skeleton formed by energy wrapped around him. This was a skeleton in the torso position, with only the torso and arms.

"Susanoo..."

Obito, who was in the high place, became interested. Sasuke's growth speed was somewhat beyond imagination. Hatred is a good motivation.

"Bai Ye, aren't you prepared to take action?"

Obito seemed not to want Sasuke to die here.

"I have already taken action."

Su Xiao pointed to Amu below. Amu was standing in place, looking directly at Darui.

Obito seemed somewhat speechless. He was hesitating whether to use the leader's identity to order Su Xiao, but his identity as the leader was known to anyone with a discerning eye. Even if Obito called himself Uchiha Madara, he had no evidence. Kisame, Deidara, and others did not quite believe his identity as Uchiha Madara.

The Akatsuki organization had developed to this point and had become a semi-loose organization. Nagato's Rinnegan was the real deal, but Obito's identity as Uchiha Madara was just his own unilateral claim.

"Our plan this time is to assassinate the Kage."

Obito did not use the leader's identity to order him. He was also worried that Su Xiao, this guy who feared nothing, would directly betray the Akatsuki organization.

"Of course. After Uchiha Sasuke dies, I will deal with the Raikage. How long has it been since you participated in an Akatsuki mission? I don't know how other teams act, but at least in the Sasori team, our style was that if one died, the second one would go up."

Obito was somewhat speechless this time. This was indeed the style of the Sasori team.

"Sasori is already dead."

"So what? Deidara and I are not dead yet."

Su Xiao lit a cigarette and watched the battle with great interest. As for the Sasori team he mentioned, it was entirely used to stall Obito. It was very clear that after Sasuke opened the Mangekyo and was able to use Susanoo, his status in Obito's heart had improved, from a chess piece that could be discarded at any time to a chess piece with cultivation value.

Obito wanted Su Xiao to protect Sasuke. The Raikage was now in a fully activated state, and Sasuke, who had just awakened the Mangekyo, would very likely die at the Raikage's hands.

Below, black flames were burning fiercely. After using Susanoo and Amaterasu, Sasuke was actually fighting back and forth with the Raikage. The lethality of Amaterasu was too terrifying, and the Raikage did not dare to resist it head-on.

Su Xiao's meaning was very clear. Obito didn't offer any benefits, yet he wanted him to deal with the Raikage? Stop joking.
