The Fourth Raikage, C, and Darui stood firm, forming a wall in front of Sasuke and his team.
The Raikage's body surged with violent Lightning Release chakra—his entire form cloaked in a blue aura, muscles bulging, lightning dancing across his skin like a Super Saiyan 2 transformation. (Just a joke.)
"Bastard!" Sasuke snarled, pulling out his Kusanagi blade. He coated the sword in Chidori's crackling energy and charged directly at the Raikage.
"Asshole! He's completely lost it," Jūgo said in disbelief.
"Sasuke! Don't charge in alone!" Suigetsu yelled, panic in his voice.
Sasuke lunged at the Raikage, but C reacted swiftly, forming hand seals. "Water Style: Water Formation Wall!"
A massive wave surged from C's mouth, crashing into Sasuke and throwing off his momentum. Almost immediately after, Darui's hand seals shifted.
"Lightning Style: Black Panther!"
The electric beast roared forward, slamming into Sasuke and electrocuting him. Sasuke's body jerked violently as the attack sent him flying back.
C followed up instantly, forming another set of hand seals. "Lightning Illusion: Lightning Flash Pillar!"
A blinding flash of light burst out, stunning Sasuke's team. In that instant, Jūgo saw a vision—Sasuke being obliterated by the Raikage's punch!
"Jūgo! Don't panic, it's genjutsu!" Sasuke shouted, snapping him back to reality.
"Hmph... Sharingan?" Darui scoffed, narrowing his eyes.
Before they could recover, the Raikage and Darui instantly reappeared in front of Sasuke and Jūgo.
"It's too late to react!" Raikage roared.
Boom! Sasuke and Suigetsu moved together, blocking the incoming attacks and shielding the still-dazed Jūgo.
The group leapt back, distancing themselves to regroup.
Meanwhile, at the Five Kage Summit...
Naruto was sprawled across his chair, clearly bored, eyes drooping.
"Aren't you going?" Gaara asked, walking up beside him.
"At that level? The two behind me are more than enough," Naruto replied casually, waving his hand.
"Hmph! Such arrogance," Ōnoki scoffed. "I heard Konoha insisted on protecting Uchiha Sasuke, but all they sent were two guards?"
"Hey," Naruto said with a smirk. "Let's make a bet, old man. Interested?"
"What kind of bet?" Ōnoki raised an eyebrow.
"If the Raikage manages to bring Sasuke back, I'll agree to make you the supreme commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces," Naruto proposed. "But if my guards bring Sasuke back…"
"What then?" Ōnoki leaned in.
Naruto grinned wickedly. "Then you'll marry your granddaughter Kurotsuchi to me!"
"What did you say?!" Kurotsuchi shouted furiously before Ōnoki could respond, stepping forward in outrage.
Boom! A giant fan slammed Naruto into the floor.
"You damn pervert! I'll beat you into the ground! Who gave you permission to flirt on a mission?!" Temari was raging.
"Hey, Temari..." Kankurō awkwardly scratched his cheek. "He's here as a representative of the Hokage. Maybe let it slide…"
"Huh?!" Temari turned her glare on him.
"Ahem—forget it," Kankurō coughed, averting his eyes.
"Alright, Temari. Let's go," Gaara said calmly, walking through the large hole Raikage had punched in the wall.
"Hmph!" Temari folded her fan with a snap and stomped after him.
After the three from Sunagakure left, Naruto reappeared behind Kurotsuchi and leaned in close.
"So, beautiful… how about that bet now?"
"NANI?!" Kurotsuchi and Ōnoki turned to face him—only to see Naruto's beaten form melt into a puddle of water.
"Water Clone?!" Ōnoki exclaimed in shock.
Even Mizukage Mei Terumī was surprised. "I didn't even see him form the seal…"
"Hehehe~" Naruto suddenly leaned in and bit Kurotsuchi on the cheek.
"AHHH!!" Kurotsuchi screamed, "You pervert!"
She swung her fist around, slamming into Naruto—only for him to vanish again in a puff of smoke.
"Shadow Clone?!" everyone exclaimed, stunned again.
Turning back, they saw Naruto reclining in his chair as if nothing had happened, pretending to be asleep.
"This guy…" Everyone's expressions turned serious.
"Hmph!" Kurotsuchi huffed, crossing her arms. "I want to see this 'Strong Sasuke' fight. Let's see if he's worth the hype."
"Go, but don't interfere in Raikage-sama's battle," Ōnoki warned her. "You'll be killed."
Back on the battlefield…
Jūgo's Curse Mark spread violently, transforming his entire body. He roared, muscles bulging grotesquely.
"Wahahahaha~" Jūgo howled. "Kill! Kill! I'll kill you all!!"
Sasuke and the others stepped back instinctively.
"This guy's releasing insane killing intent," Suigetsu said, shaking his head. "He does know we're teammates, right?"
Suddenly, large exhaust-like tubes sprouted from Jūgo's back, spewing chakra. "Who wants to die first?! Hahaha!"
"Hmph!" Raikage cracked his neck, glaring with disdain. "Don't get cocky."
Boom! The ground cracked as Raikage vanished, reappearing next to Jūgo in an instant and slamming his fist into him.
Jūgo's arms morphed into massive shields to block—but—
"Mōda!!" Raikage roared, punching through Jūgo's guard with raw power.
Crunch! The punch smashed through Jūgo's mutated shield arm, sending him flying.
"Hmph. One down," Raikage muttered, pulling his fist back.
But Jūgo grinned despite the gaping hole in his chest. Suddenly, his body shifted—multiple chakra cannons emerged.
"DIE!!" Jūgo roared.
BOOM!! The explosion of chakra energy blinded the area, a violent shockwave knocking everyone back.
C struggled to remain upright. Suddenly—a massive Sharingan appeared in front of him.
"Shit! Not good—" C collapsed, paralyzed by the genjutsu.
"C!!" Darui called out.
"Over here!" Suigetsu shouted. He drew out his twin cleavers and struck them together, building up an electric charge.
"Lightning Release: Wave Surge!!" The blades discharged a massive burst of lightning toward Darui.
In an instant, the tables had turned—the Raikage's team was at a disadvantage.
"Ahahahaha!" Jūgo laughed maniacally, unfazed by the injury. "Kill! KILL! Who's next?!"
Boom! Raikage appeared from the side and smashed an elbow into Jūgo's ribs.
Crash! Jūgo flew into the wall and slumped down, unconscious.
"Phew…" Raikage turned, now facing Sasuke.
Sasuke's eyes locked onto the Raikage, Mangekyō Sharingan spinning violently. He dashed forward with the Kusanagi blade, lightning crackling.
Meanwhile, at the border of the Land of Lightning…
"This plan is genius, Octopops!" Killer Bee grinned.
"Genius, my ass!" Gyūki growled. "How many damn tentacles have I lost for your stunts, you bastard?!"
"Come on~ don't be so mad, Octopops~ Tentacles grow back~ so take a chill pill~ yeah!"
"Don't you start your rap nonsense with me again. I swear I'll kill you next time, you good-for-nothing bee."
Killer Bee drooped a little.
"As the one who feeds you~ I understand best~ yeah~" Killer Bee suddenly froze. "Now then…"
"Huh?" Gyūki tilted a giant eye toward him. "What are you up to now?"
"A CONCERT!!" Killer Bee roared, jumping into the air.
"..." Gyūki was speechless. MMP.
"I finally shook off Big Bro's surveillance and made it out of the village! They'll think Akatsuki captured me!"
"Great. Raikage must be losing his shit back home," Gyūki muttered. "So what's your grand plan?"
"As a Jinchūriki, I'm bound like a weapon! I deserve a little fun!"
"Okay, so what's this 'fun' of yours?"
"Mr. Basketball-kun Concert Tour!" Killer Bee shouted.
"Who the hell is that supposed to be?" Gyūki deadpanned.
"Shout~ Ba-ge-ya-ro! Mou-th no ya-ro~! The ultimate rapper, of course!" Killer Bee started rapping.
"Shut up already!" Gyūki roared. "I'll seriously kill you! You keep summoning me for your crap!"
"No choice! That Sharingan user is scary as hell…" Killer Bee confessed.
Back to the battlefield—
"Thunderclap Fist!!"
Boom!! Sasuke was smashed into the ground by the Raikage's devastating punch.
