Chapter 75: You small fry! This much power still isn't enough.
"Hahahahaha!"
Aoyama Riuun's hearty laughter echoed across the entire battlefield.
He planted his mace beside him, reverting to his normal form, and laughed boisterously.
"As expected of you!"
At this time, Hatake Sakumo and Nara Shikaku, who had regained their senses, couldn't help but smile after exchanging a glance. As expected of Aoyama Riuun; it wasn't surprising at all that he could do something like this.
"Lord Riuun is invincible!"
"Konoha will be victorious!"
"Lord Riuun is unrivaled!"
In the Konoha camp, after a moment of silence, the crowd erupted. When the Tailed Beast Bomb was about to hit, everyone had despaired, thinking they were dead for sure. But Aoyama Riuun, like a god of war, stood guard before everyone.
With a single Raimei Hakke, he not only destroyed Kumogakure's Tailed Beast Bomb but also shattered the unease in the hearts of the Konoha ninja.
With such a powerhouse leading them, what was there to fear?
Two words: invincible!
...
"That guy!"
On the Kumogakure side, although they were a bit disheveled from the blast, fortunately, no one was hurt.
"Who in the world is that?"
Even the strategists, Samui and Mabui, were astonished. They had never imagined that there was someone in Konoha who could send the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb flying with pure strength.
This was too fake!
Was he even human?
"Big brother, little Eight just told me that person is dangerous and difficult to deal with!"
Killer Bee rarely used his usual rapping tone, his expression solemn. Although he put it mildly, everyone could tell that even the Eight-Tails, Gyuki, was not confident in defeating that man.
"Listen up, you Kumogakure weaklings!"
While A was silent, Aoyama Riuun's shout echoed through the dead of night.
"Weaklings?"
How dare he call me a weakling? If it weren't for the people beside him holding him back, A would have charged into the Konoha camp directly.
"If this is all the strength you have, then hurry up and crawl back to Kumogakure. You're too weak! Hahahaha!"
Kumogakure revered strength, especially this kind of pure physical power. Even as an opponent, A was somewhat impressed by the other party's spirit.
But! As the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure, he would not be intimidated.
A leaped onto a cliff. From there, he could just see Aoyama Riuun's figure.
"Don't underestimate our Kumogakure! Do you dare to state your name!"
"Ha!"
You don't even know who I am?
Aoyama Riuun sneered in disdain and said directly, "My name is Aoyama Riuun. Remember it well. In the coming war, this name will make everyone feel fear!"
"..."
A didn't say anything, just stood there and stared at Aoyama Riuun for a while, then turned and left.
"Do you know who this Aoyama Riuun is?"
"Hmm!"
Samui and Mabui both nodded.
"This Aoyama Riuun is a powerhouse who became famous during the Second Great Ninja War. He is one of Konoha's high-end combat powers, with the title of 'The Strongest Creature on Land, Sea, and Air'!"
"So it's him!"
A had a moment of realization. He had seen this name before. The one who had正面擊潰 the One-Tail Shukaku. But at that time, when he read Aoyama Riuun's file, A had been dismissive. After all, it was just the One-Tail; A was also confident in defeating it in a frontal assault.
At that time, regarding Aoyama Riuun's title of "The Strongest Creature on Land, Sea, and Air," A had sneered. But now, it seemed...
"This guy can indeed bear the title of 'The Strongest Creature on Land, Sea, and Air'!"
To send the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb flying with pure strength in a frontal assault... what a monster.
"Hmph! It's just one Aoyama Riuun; it's not enough to change the final outcome of this war!"
Today's events had exceeded the beliefs of every Kumogakure ninja present. But as the Fourth Raikage, A could not show the slightest bit of fear.
"Aoyama Riuun is powerful, but our Kumogakure is not weak. If the Eight-Tails can't deal with him, then add the Two-Tails. As long as we can hold off Aoyama Riuun, the other Konoha ninja are nothing but chickens and dogs!"
Don't be fooled by the Fourth Raikage's brute appearance. He could actually think. It was just that most of the time, A believed in solving everything with his fists.
Hearing A's words, the crowd, which had been somewhat demoralized by Aoyama Riuun's power, immediately recovered.
Right! Aoyama Riuun was powerful, but so what? This was a battlefield, a war. Even if he was powerful, no one would fight him one-on-one. Kumogakure had five thousand ninja; couldn't they deal with Konoha's two thousand?
"Yo! Big brother, leave it to me!"
The Two-Tails Jinchuriki at the side also nodded affirmatively.
"Rest assured, Lord Raikage. I will work with Lord Bee to hold off that Aoyama Riuun!"
The Two-Tails, Yugito, was very tall, but no one dared to underestimate her because of it. She was a perfect jinchuriki. In her complete Tailed Beast form, she was also a high-end combat power for Kumogakure.
Seeing this, the Fourth Raikage, A, laughed heartily.
"Hahaha! Don't lose your spirits. Go back and rest well. Tomorrow, we will have an all-out war with Konoha!"
"Yes!"
The crowd responded in unison, then began to disperse.
This conversation had restored their confidence.
But after everyone had left, A's face showed a hint of worry. The figure that had destroyed the Tailed Beast Bomb like a demon god was now etched in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.
"The final victory will definitely be ours, Kumogakure!"
He clenched his fists. The war hadn't officially started yet. A would absolutely not allow even a hint of fear in his heart.
"Aoyama Riuun, is it? Let's have a good fight!"
I will absolutely not lose!
