Chapter 249 Murder! Destroying the spirit!
"Taiichi, I knew it would be you!" Turning around to look at the person who had suddenly appeared, Minato finally showed a long-lost smile.
"Senior Brother Minato, of course it's me. I rushed over as soon as I heard the news. How could I be left out of this kind of thing?" Taiyi said with a serious face. Revenge should not be delayed overnight, but that was his motto, unless he couldn't win.
Taiyi looked around and could clearly feel the dampness of the distant sea. He couldn't help but ask, "What's the situation now? What are your plans, Senior Brother Minato?"
Minato's expression also turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "This group of Cloud Ninja has 23 members left, including 10 Jonin, including the new generation of the AB combination, and the rest are all elite Chunin."
We're not far from the sea now. We must intercept them before they board the ship, otherwise the power of the Flying Thunder God Technique will be greatly reduced once they're at sea.
"Alright, let's get started right away." Taiichi agreed to Minato's suggestion without hesitation.
The two were ninjas who had cooperated many times and were quite familiar with each other's methods. They didn't need to explain their plans in detail; they understood each other's meaning with just a glance.
Because of the need to monitor them, Minato was not far from the Cloud Village ninjas. With the two of them speeding up their pursuit, they caught up with the group of Cloud Village ninjas in less than 5 minutes.
The two exchanged a glance and tacitly separated, with Minato in front and Taiichi behind, hoping to catch them off guard.
Here, Minato, using the trees for cover, was finally discovered by the Cloud Ninja when he got within thirty meters.
"Watch out for a sneak attack."
Killer Bee's shout startled everyone, and they all looked in the direction he was pointing. It was a pity their sensory ninja had perished in the previous battle; otherwise, they wouldn't have been caught off guard so close to the enemy.
However, this distance was enough. Minato dashed forward in a flash, using the increased speed to throw the Flying Thunder God Kunai that he had prepared beforehand.
Three kunai in each hand, and in the blink of an eye, each hand threw twice. The twelve kunai scattered like flowers from a fairy maiden, heading towards the densest part of the Cloud Ninja team.
"It's Minato Namikaze! Scatter!"
Unfortunately, the warning came a little too late. The 12 kunai were still flying in mid-air, and the first one had just passed the first Cloud Ninja when that golden hue began to shimmer in the crowd.
As the kunai flew along, the yellow flash also moved in sync. When the kunai finally landed, all the Cloud Ninjas along the flight path, except for two Jonin who were still struggling to hold on, clutched their necks and died.
In that instant, not only the Cloud Ninja, but even Taiichi, who was monitoring the scene nearby using his chakra senses, felt a chill run down his spine. It was truly a case of killing in the blink of an eye. The only one who could wield the Flying Thunder God Technique to this level was probably Minato.
Taiichi felt that even if he upgraded the Flying Thunder God Technique to Lv10, he might not be able to perform it like Minato.
"Damn it, Minato Namikaze, you deserve to die!"
With a roar, A's body crackled with lightning as he charged straight toward Minato. Killer Bee immediately transformed into a half-tailed beast, swinging his chakra tail at Minato.
The other ninjas around him were not to be outdone, and they all unleashed their fastest attacks on Minato.
Just as everyone's attention was drawn away by Minato, Taiichi, who was lagging behind, knew that his chance had come. He suddenly accelerated and, at a distance of twenty meters, used the Instantaneous Body Technique to throw out the Flying Thunder God Kunai.
Unlike Minato, who threw twelve kunai at once, Taiichi didn't teleport so smoothly; he only symbolically threw out four kunai.
He instantly appeared between the two Jonin who had escaped from Minato's clutches, his short sword wrapped in golden flames, and unleashed a full-force circular slash, the golden flame blade energy radiating outwards in a 360-degree arc.
The two injured Cloud Village Jonin were the first to be hit, and before they could even complete their parrying moves, they were split in two by the sword energy. The remaining force of the sword ring did not diminish and continued to spread for ten meters before gradually dissipating.
Within a 10-meter radius, all the Cloud Ninja who were just jumping around were now lying on the ground, except for a few who managed to escape.
Although Taiichi's sword strike did not cause the same massive damage as Minato's earlier strike, its effect was still quite good.
The two raids, one after the other, wiped out the original 23-man Cloud Ninja force, leaving only 6 Jonin.
"You two bastards, how dare you—how dare you—" Killer Bee was so angry that he stopped even rapping, pointing at Taichi and trembling all over.
"What? You Cloud Ninja are allowed to launch sneak attacks, but we Konoha aren't allowed to retaliate? Aren't you incredibly arrogant? Even our Konoha walls aren't as big as yours!"
Taiyi mocked mercilessly, pointing his short blade at the remaining Cloud Ninja, "A bunch of rats who only know how to ambush! I'm standing right here, come and fight me one-on-one if you dare!"
Taiyi spoke with righteous indignation, showing no remorse whatsoever for his sneak attack. He simply stood there, pointing his sword at the group of Cloud Ninjas, arrogantly provoking them.
A figure flashed by, and Minato, who had just been entangled with Ai, appeared next to Taiichi. It was 2 vs 6, with both sides facing off, but the side with fewer people had the strongest momentum.
"The two scourges of Konoha, Minato Namikaze and Taichi Matsushita, you will all die here today."
Ai looked around at the corpses that had fallen to the ground in just a few thousand seconds, and felt a pain as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out.
"Bi, transform into your tailed beast form and attack with all your might! Don't hold back!" A continued to instruct the surrounding Jonin without turning his head. "You provide ranged support and don't get close."
After saying that, Ai rushed straight toward the water gate.
Behind him, Killer Bee let out a howl, his body rapidly growing larger, with eight octopus legs growing out one by one from beneath him, wildly waving in mid-air.
The other four Jonin also quickly dispersed to the surroundings, leaving space for Killer Bee, who was still growing larger.
Minato immediately confronted A, and the two exchanged blows in mid-air. Both were extremely fast ninjas, and those with slightly weaker skills could only hear the sounds of fists and feet clashing during their fight.
The two quickly fought their way to a distant location. Whether it was Minato's intention or A's, the two moved directly towards the position of the two Cloud Village Jonin.
Taichi remained alone, facing the ever-growing Tailed Beast.
"I wonder if grilled octopus legs taste good," Taiyi muttered. "At such close range, it would be a waste not to unleash a fire jutsu."
He thought it and he did it. He crossed his hands, making a special mudra, and then took a deep breath.
Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.
The bright golden flames transformed into a fire dragon, rapidly burning towards the eight tails that were within reach.
Those who have never personally experienced the power of the Taiyi Flame cannot fully understand the intense heat contained within that bright golden flame.
Killer Bee directly manipulated an octopus tentacle to block in front of him. Even though it was just a tentacle, it was like a city wall in front of Taichi.
But when the bright golden flames touched the tentacles, they immediately spread outwards along the tentacles.
A deafening scream erupted from the bull's mouth, so loud that anyone who heard it would think Taiyi had done something horrific to the eight tails.
The eight-tailed creature frantically waved its burning tentacle, trying to extinguish the flames, but unfortunately, the flames were like a leech, impossible to shake off.
In just a few breaths, Taiyi could almost smell the aroma of grilled squid tentacles.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
The tailed beast, driven mad by pain, leaped and bounded wildly, forcing Taiichi to retreat continuously.
"By the way, use the ink quickly!"
Within Killer Bee's sealed space, Gyuki roared loudly at Killer Bee.
"Okay, okay, I know, you idiot, you jerk!"
Then, the leaping eight-tailed octopus sprayed a mouthful of ink onto the burning octopus leg. Under the pouring of the large amount of black ink, the bright golden flames reluctantly and slowly extinguished.
However, Taiyi was not about to let him get through this so easily. As soon as the flames died down, another fire dragon flame bullet was fired.
This time, Killer Bee learned his lesson and dared not use his tentacles to block. He waved his eight tentacles, sweeping up large amounts of soil and trees, and hurled them at Taiichi.
This trick really worked; it extinguished all the Fire Dragon Flame Bullets.
There's nothing we can do about it; the quantity is just too large, and it's suppressed before it even has a chance to ignite.
Seemingly finding this move particularly effective against Taiichi, Killer Bee simply stopped using other techniques and continued to bombard Taiichi from a distance.
Tailed beasts are tailed beasts after all; their massive size is an advantage, allowing even normal attacks to have a devastating effect.
Even Taiyi could only temporarily avoid such an unreasonable attack.
But Taiyi was no pushover either. Seeing that this big guy wouldn't give up, he immediately changed his strategy: Fire Release wouldn't work, but I still have Water Release.
He immediately began moving rapidly around the Eight-Tails, occasionally dropping one or two Flying Thunder God kunai to set up the battlefield, while simultaneously forming hand seals with his hands.
Water Escape: Water-Severing Waves.
Although there is no abundant water source here, the power of this ninjutsu is by no means weak thanks to Taiyi's large supply of chakra.
Compared to the burning damage of Fire Release, the power of Water Severing Wave is more concentrated. Each high-pressure water jet directly pierces through the soil and trees, creating holes and cuts on the Eight-Tails.
Just as Taiyi was about to continue, a string of lightning balls and a gust of wind blades attacked him from two different directions.
Without turning his head, Taiyi changed his hand seals, and two walls of water suddenly rose up in the direction from which the ninjutsu was coming, easily blocking the lightning ball and wind blade.
"Kid, don't forget we're here for you." One of the Cloud Village Jonin roared, charging towards Taiichi with his long sword.
"Haha, you should feel lucky that I didn't come looking for you, but now you've recklessly rushed up here. Well then, I'll grant your wish."

Taiyi wasn't afraid of him at all; if he was afraid, he was only afraid that Taiyi would run away.
With a flick of his short sword, he assumed a thrusting stance and charged forward without hesitation.
The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.
Of course, this is under the condition that both sides are equal.
But things are different now. Taiyi and Yunren are facing each other with their swords drawn, and both of them see an unwavering determination in each other's eyes.
In Yunyin's view, he was a long sword and his opponent was a short sword. In such a head-on confrontation, he would definitely be the one to injure the opponent first, so he didn't need to dodge at all.
With this in mind, his long sword did indeed pierce Taiyi's chest first, then went straight through. But before he could rejoice, Taiyi did not retreat at all and continued to charge forward. In less than a blink of an eye, Taiyi's short sword also pierced the opponent's chest.
The two passed each other, and the blade sliced open half of the other's chest cavity.
The Cloud Village Jonin turned around with difficulty to see what was going on. He really couldn't understand what the other party was doing. Why would they risk mutual destruction to kill him? It didn't seem like it at all.
However, what he saw when he turned around made him spit out a mouthful of blood.
Without turning his head, Taiyi charged towards the Cloud Ninja in another direction at full speed. Bright golden flames swirled around the pierced and cut wound on his chest, which was completely healed in a moment.
"We're doomed! We're doomed! Killer Bee, run! Lord Ai, run!"
However, he kept the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat, and all that came out of his mouth was the gurgling sound of blood gushing out.
Taiyi paid no attention to what was happening behind him. From the moment he prepared to clash, he already knew the outcome. So after the two passed each other, he rushed towards his next target without looking back, because dead people were not worth his time.
The flying mud and dust effectively concealed their movements, and no one knew how Taiyi had so quickly dealt with the Cloud Ninja.
Now, Taiyi charged straight in with an aura of invincibility. Another Cloud Ninja was also in awe, so he dared not let Taiyi get close. He retreated rapidly and unleashed a series of lightning strikes at Taiyi, attempting to hinder Taiyi's actions.
Killer Bee, watching from afar, was also frustrated. While his Eight-Tails form was indeed powerful, it was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito when facing a single enemy—he had no way to use his strength.
In the blink of an eye, Taiichi killed another Jonin right under his nose, and the key point is that he didn't even see how Taiichi killed him.
Seeing Taiichi lunge at another Jonin, Killer Bee panicked. His eight tentacles moved rapidly, and the entire behemoth roared toward Taiichi.
"Hey kid, stop right there!"
Taiyi wouldn't listen to his nonsense. One by one, Phoenix Flames formed around him, and he crashed into the incoming lightning. He approached the Cloud Village Jonin without stopping.
With this advance and retreat, this attack and defense, the difference in morale and mentality was immediately apparent. Originally, he was a Jonin after all, and even if he couldn't win a head-on fight against Taiichi, he could at least hold out for a while. But with this wave of cowardice, his combat power clearly declined significantly.
When Taiyi caught up, he completely suppressed the Cloud Village Jonin in just a few moves, making him barely able to parry.
Killer Bee was frantic watching from behind, yelling, "Hang in there, you idiot, you moron!"
He didn't forget to spray a mouthful of ink at Taiichi. The ink transformed in mid-air, forming numerous ink clones of Killer Bee that entangled Taiichi.
Taiichi sneered, using one hand to wield his sword and suppress the Jonin in front of him. With his other hand, he formed a hand seal, and with a series of bangs, three shadow clones appeared beside him, charging towards Killer Bee's black clone.
Seeing that he couldn't make it to the rescue in time, Killer Bee went all out and began to condense a Tailed Beast Ball.
You want to kill me? The death of a Cloud Village Jonin is the end of your life. Let's see if you dare to fight.
Taiichi could see Killer Bee's movements clearly through his chakra perception.
What, you think you can compromise like this? I wonder if your Tailed Beast Ball is faster, or my Flying Thunder God Technique. I hope you won't regret it.
With this in mind, Taichi quickened his pace, while Killer Bee's Tailed Beast Ball took shape in the distance.
Taiyi thrust his short sword straight into the center, using the cutting force to break through the Cloud Village Jonin's last defense. He then twisted his waist and turned around, slashing at the Jonin's neck.
Killer Bee, however, saw that the Cloud Village Jonin had finally been wide open by Taiichi's attack, and Taiichi's next slash was already aimed at him again.
"Die!" Killer Bee roared, spitting out the Tailed Beast Ball. At the same time, he saw Taichi suddenly turn his head, give him a strange smile, and then disappear.
"No!" A louder roar rang out, but it was filled with deep sorrow.
The Cloud Ninja did not die under Taiyi's sword, but was instead killed by the Tailed Beast Ball.
This is murder! It's destroying their spirit!
