Chapter 74: Thunder Bagua Clashes with the Tailed Beast Bomb
"Hahaha! Perish, all of you!"
"Boom!"
Following Killer Bee's roar, the condensed Tailed Beast Bomb instantly shot towards the Konoha camp.
Any rock cliffs in its path were utterly annihilated by the Tailed Beast Bomb's power.
...
"Impossible!"
Watching the sphere of chakra energy rush out of the darkness, even Hatake Sakumo was stunned.
"Scatter! Everyone, scatter!"
Nara Shikaku was the first to shout.
This was no joke; it was a Tailed Beast Bomb! If that landed here, the camp was finished. The camp could be rebuilt, but lost lives were gone for good.
Nara Shikaku's sudden shout drew everyone's attention. The ninja who had been resting were now wide awake.
"What are you staring at, scatter! Can't you see the Tailed Beast Bomb?"
"Those Kumogakure bastards!"
Even Hatake Sakumo spoke with a fierce expression. He clearly hadn't expected the people of Kumogakure to use such a method to say hello.
"A Tailed Beast Bomb? A Tailed Beast Bomb!"
"No way!"
"Look!"
"I'm going to die!"
The Tailed Beast Bomb drew closer and closer.
At this time, the ninja in the camp also noticed the rampaging Tailed Beast Bomb. Those at a distance could run, but the ninja in the center of the camp were clearly not going to make it. One by one, they began to despair. After all, Tailed Beasts were synonymous with disaster, and the Tailed Beast Bomb was no different.
"Damn it!"
Nara Shikaku also noticed this, but there was nothing he could do. After all, no matter how intelligent one person was, there was no way to scheme against a force dozens of times greater than oneself.
"Do we have to abandon these people? Damn it all!"
Although this was a cold battlefield, the war hadn't officially started yet. To let the enemy gain the upper hand first... he didn't know how they would fight the battles to come.
"Hahahaha!"
At this tense moment, Aoyama Riuun laughed.
He laughed without restraint.
While laughing loudly, Aoyama Riuun's figure leaped, jumping directly in front of the Tailed Beast Bomb's path.
Compared to the speeding Tailed Beast Bomb, Aoyama Riuun's figure seemed somewhat small.
"Riuun! What are you doing?"
"Are you insane? Come back!"
Hatake Sakumo and Nara Shikaku quickly shouted. Aoyama Riuun was the supreme commander. If something happened to him, there would be no need to fight this war at all.
"Didn't I say I would stand before all of you? Hahahaha!"
Bathed in the light of the Tailed Beast Bomb, Aoyama Riuun laughed heartily.
"Hey, brats! Are you scared?"
These words were directed at the ninja in the camp who had never experienced war.
"We're not afraid!"
"We are absolutely not afraid!"
"We swear to coexist with Konoha or die trying!"
Those who were originally afraid, seeing the figure standing at the very front, calmed down instead. With such a person leading them, how could they, as his subordinates, have any thoughts of fear!
"Hahahaha!"
Aoyama Riuun laughed. The dragon scale tattoos on his body began to slowly manifest. His eyes transformed into draconic, vertical pupils. His form began to shift into a half-dragon state.
The hand holding the mace gripped it tightly. Armament Haki, radiating a peculiar light, enveloped the entire mace.
"Let me see what the difference is between the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb and the One-Tail's!"
A slight smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Run? Heh! Don't look down on me. I am the Strongest Creature on Land, Sea, and Air!
"Heh! Raimei Hakke!"
In his half-dragon form, he swung the mace, wreathed in top-tier Armament Haki, directly at the incoming Tailed Beast Bomb.
...
"Let's go! We can head back now!"
On the Kumogakure side, the crowd, led by the Fourth Raikage, A, sneered contemptuously as they watched the Tailed Beast Bomb descend upon the Konoha camp. They turned, preparing to leave. Everyone thought that under such a Tailed Beast Bomb, Konoha no longer had the right to be Kumogakure's enemy.
But at that moment, Aoyama Riuun's roar echoed across the entire battlefield.
"What is that?"
The crowd stopped in their tracks and looked on in disbelief.
They saw, illuminated by the Tailed Beast Bomb, Aoyama Riuun in his half-dragon form. Like a primeval demon, he gripped the mace with both hands and slammed it into the Tailed Beast Bomb.
"Bang!"
Sparks flew between the Tailed Beast Bomb and the mace. Veins bulged on Aoyama Riuun's arms and forehead.
"Kzzzt!"
Under the power of the Tailed Beast Bomb, Aoyama Riuun's feet began to slide backward, as if he couldn't withstand its power.
"Heh! This is far from enough!"
With a light chuckle, his draconic eyes flashed with a soul-shaking crimson light.
"Boom!"
He stomped a single foot on the ground, and it instantly cracked. Aoyama Riuun used this to steady his stance.
"I am the Strongest Creature on Land, Sea, and Air!"
I, Aoyama Riuun, cannot possibly fail here!
"Get the hell out of here!"
"Heh-hah!"
Under Aoyama Riuun's repeated roars, the Tailed Beast Bomb began to stop. The top-tier Armament Haki began to emit a flowing brilliance.
"Go to hell!"
"Boom!"
Like hitting a baseball, with Aoyama Riuun's monstrous strength, the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb was sent flying right back.
"Impossible!"
It wasn't just Hatake Sakumo and the others on the Konoha side who were shocked. Even the people of Kumogakure, not far away, were completely stunned.
This can't be real. The Tailed Beast Bomb was hit back! Are you sure this isn't a dream?
No matter how unwilling they were to believe it, the fact was right before their eyes.
"Retreat, quickly!"
The Fourth Raikage reacted instantly and organized a retreat. Fortunately, there weren't many Kumogakure ninja there.
"Boom!"
The returned Tailed Beast Bomb exploded with a deafening roar. A pillar of light shot into the sky, a sight that made one's scalp tingle.
A and the others, who had been full of confidence just moments ago, were now covered in dust and grime.
