"Attack! Don't worry about it, I'll enhance you with the Lightning Seal!" Mokkaku's expression changed drastically.
Kuro roared first, his already imposing physique bulging with rock-hard muscles. Facing the incoming black lightning, without any fancy moves, he unleashed a powerful punch.
BOOM!
Black lightning exploded, echoing with thunderous roars.
Despite this, the immense force sent Kuro staggering back two or three steps. He felt numbness spreading through his arm and body.
Seeing the oncoming black lightning, the seven clan members behind him also attacked, forming a massive wall of flesh.
BANG BANG BANG!
A series of thunderous booms echoed as the seven were forced back, even more severely than Kuro, staggering five or six steps. Some even coughed up blood, letting out pained groans.
Witnessing this, Mokkaku, who had been protected in the rear, frowned, seizing the brief respite to quickly glance inside the Black Tower.
The moment he saw the hundreds-of-meters-wide trial grounds and the Lightning Pool at its center, his pupils constricted, his eyes widening in disbelief.
Kuro, at the forefront, cried out in terror.
"Someone… someone is coming out of the Lightning Pool!"
His cry triggered a chain reaction. The seven, who had been pushed back, also looked towards the pool. What they saw was soul-shaking, causing them to gasp in shock.
The lightning unleashed when the gate was opened had already inflicted significant damage, with weaker members sustaining internal injuries. This demonstrated the terrifying power of the Lightning Pool trials, making many hesitant to even approach.
Yet, someone was calmly emerging from the pool as if taking a bath. The disparity was so immense that no one would believe it without witnessing it firsthand.
"Elder Mokkaku, what's going on? When did someone successfully complete the Black Lightning trial? Is this the Fourth Raikage's secret weapon?" Kuro took a step back, desperately trying to make out the face flickering in the lightning.
Recalling the recent actions of the newly appointed Fourth Raikage—boldly taking Killer Bee away from the village, completely disregarding the potential threat from their clan—Kuro was convinced that the figure emerging from the Lightning Pool was a secret weapon the Raikage had secretly prepared to deal with them.
Mokkaku's face also changed. The unexpected black lightning surge had already cost them dearly.
This figure, treating the Lightning Pool as a joke, was completely beyond his expectations. If he hadn't already killed the two Anbu, Mokkaku might have considered deception.
But now, with the Anbu dead, there was no turning back. Their only option was to swiftly eliminate the mysterious figure. Otherwise, their clan's ambitions would be ruined, possibly leading to their extermination.
"Kuro, even if he's the strongest, he's only one person. We've already killed the Anbu; there's no turning back. Use our trump card and eliminate him within the Black Tower," Mokkaku said, his weathered face twitching.
It was a desperate gamble. Kuro and the others hesitated, their initial thoughts of retreat suppressed.
As Mokkaku said, there was no turning back. And their clan possessed a powerful trump card.
The location was remote, most people were at the Two-Tails' sealing location, making a swift, discreet elimination feasible.
Kuro's face hardened. He brought his hands together, his expression contorted as he roared, "Attack! Use the tailed beast power!"
ROAR!
Eight roars, like those of tailed beasts, echoed through the heavens. Eyes widened, fangs bared, crimson tailed beast chakra surged from their bodies, exuding an oppressive aura. Their skin was constantly burning and healing, a clear sign of forced, uncontrolled usage.
However, unlike typical tailed beast coats, they lacked the tails signifying the strength of the tailed beast power.
"Tailed beast coats?
You wouldn't have imitated Kinkaku and Ginkaku and eaten tailed beast meat, would you?" Kai, bathed in black lightning within the Lightning Pool, looked at the uninvited guests with amusement.
Initially, guided by Darui, Kai had used his Mangekyō Sharingan to easily hypnotize the two Kumogakure Anbu, then entered the tower with Darui. Unfortunately, the Third Raikage's Black Lightning, one of his four forbidden techniques, clearly lacked sealing seals.
Transforming internal Lightning Release chakra into Black Lightning required sealing the Black Lightning from the pool within the body.
Kai had tried many methods, but only by using Lightning Release Chakra Mode and entering the center of the pool could he gradually transform his body through the Black Lightning's influence.
This process would take at least a week, too long for Kai. It was impossible for Darui, who hadn't mastered Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
Just as Kai was worried, unexpectedly, someone had delivered a gift. Kai vaguely remembered that in the original story, Darui had a lightning tattoo bestowed by the Raikage when he used Black Lightning. This was likely the key.
"Boy, who are you? How do you know our clan's secrets?" Mokkaku's face changed drastically.
In the original story, Kinkaku and Ginkaku were swallowed by the Nine-Tails but, by chance, inherited the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths.
The tailed beast power was extracted from the Sage's body. This, along with other coincidences, allowed Kinkaku and Ginkaku to adapt to tailed beast chakra.
This led to their survival and their subsequent attempt to assassinate the Second Raikage during the Five Kage Summit.
Their success stemmed from the Sage's tools and the accidental absorption of tailed beast power, which enhanced their abilities.
