Chapter 257 - Just a Bunch of Bandits

"Don't look at me with such eyes, it makes you seem as if you are so innocent." Takemi shook his head slightly when he saw this scene.

"I've always been curious about one thing. Why do you always feel like you're the victims? Have you ever thought about what happened to other villages that were attacked and plundered by you?"

"Enough with this useless talk!"

The Two-Tails roared, interrupting Takemi's words. The Chakra on her body was wildly brewing.

"The evil you have caused today, we will surely repay it twofold, starting with you!"

"Today, you must remain…"

The Eight-Tails also spoke at this moment, looking at the ruined village, at everything that seemed to be destroyed.

Even though Kumogakure was large and evacuated in time, almost half of the entire village was destroyed, and there were still fires everywhere.

Such destruction was unacceptable to anyone.

"You must pay the price for everything you've done today!"

"Is that so? I understand now. You truly are sufficiently self-deceiving."

Takemi sighed softly, and the Chakra on his body began to circulate continuously.

He wasn't proficient with Wood Release, but as he said before, precise control might be difficult, but using its maximum capacity was not a problem.

"No wonder you could allow your envoy to abduct the Hyuga clan's heiress, and after failing, bite back at Konoha to force a war."

"No wonder you could brazenly snatch others' secret techniques and bloodlines, and still act as if it's perfectly natural. It turns out you are nothing but a bunch of bandits."

Takemi clasped his hands together. His Chakra became exceptionally turbulent at this moment, and the ground also began to shake continuously.

A suffocating Chakra continuously permeated, followed by the sudden shattering of the ground.

"What is this?"

Both the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails felt a bad premonition, but at this moment, Takemi's voice rang out again.

"Are two Tailed Beasts your reliance?"

"Indeed, Two-Tails, Eight-Tails, you are too strong. I must go all out too!"

Amidst the violent earthquake, all the Wood Release and vines converged.

Accompanied by the roar of Chakra, a towering statue with countless hands layered behind it, reaching into the clouds, slowly appeared.

Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands

...

Boil Release: Skilled Mist Technique!

Lightning Release: Wave of Inspiration!

Lava Release: Melting Apparition Jutsu!

Lightning Release: Black Panther!

At the same time Takemi encountered the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails, Mei and Deidara were also shot down by the Ninja of Kumogakure.

However, it could only be said that they were unlucky. The shockwaves from the Wood Golem's battle with the Eight-Tails caused them to lose control.

Finally, Darui's Storm Release brought them crashing down.

Of course, Deidara had actually wanted to get some action for a while. He had already enjoyed the explosions, so naturally, he wanted to continue in a different way.

"You all deserve to die!"

Darui launched his attack while cursing angrily.

"Shamelessly attacking another's village, you will inevitably face retaliation!"

"Hey, wasn't it you guys who attacked Konoha first?"

Upon hearing this, Deidara rolled his eyes, casually throwing out a pile of clay and scoffing.

The next moment, a roar suddenly erupted, and several Kumogakure Ninja who had just rushed over to help were blown away.

"What does this have to do with you? Are you people from Konoha?"

Cee, while coordinating the attack, gritted his teeth and shouted hatefully.

"And your actions, does your village know about them? Doing this will only bring misfortune to your village!"

"Don't say such useless nonsense."

Mei dodged an attack with a flash, and at the same time, she completed her hand signs.

"Kirigakure and Iwagakure are already allies with Konoha. How we act is our choice. Blame yourselves for being too arrogant."

Lava Release: Melting Apparition Jutsu!

As she spoke, a stream of highly viscous and corrosive yellow acid spewed from her mouth, instantly heading towards the Kumogakure Ninja.

"Dodge!"

Darui no longer had any trace of his usual laziness. He directed his comrades to quickly scatter, then his gaze swept to the other battlefield.

Then, his Chakra surged, and his eyes were fixed on Deidara and Mei.

"No matter what your reasons are, your fate is already sealed. Whether it's you, or Takemi who uses Wood Release—"

"Dare to cause trouble in Kumogakure, you all must die!"

"Tch, you're really not just ordinary arrogant, no wonder the old man hates you so much."

Deidara picked his ear, annoyed, and Mei nodded in agreement.

"Anyone can talk big. When you were snatching other people's Kekkei Genkais and secret jutsu scrolls, did you care when they said things like that to you?"

"They're not important, you are. We will kill you."

Darui snorted, and the other Kumogakure Ninja quickly surrounded them.

"The Two-Tails and Eight-Tails will also crush your village and kill everyone!"

Boom—

However, before Darui could finish speaking, a vast Chakra surged into the sky, and then the ground began to tremble.

"What is this?"

"What's happening?"

"Such strong Chakra!"

"Over there... what exactly happened?"

This immense Chakra stunned almost everyone. They turned their heads in disbelief to look into the distance.

And over there, dust billowed, and a violent aura seemed to crush everything. It was then that they vaguely heard a voice.

"Two-Tails, Eight-Tails, you are too strong. I must go all out too—"

All out?

The Kumogakure Ninja didn't understand what this meant. The Two-Tails and Eight-Tails were undoubtedly powerful.

But, what did 'going all out' mean?

But the next moment, everyone seemed to understand.

Amidst the sky-high dust, accompanied by the roar of Chakra, they suddenly realized they seemed to be enveloped by dark clouds.

And as the dust rose, a towering, cloud-piercing great statue slowly appearedm

This statue looked dignified and serene, yet the constantly surging Chakra gave off a despairing feeling.

The giant statue overshadowed the sky and sun, growing continuously upwards. The peak that supported Kumogakure seemed unable to bear this giant statue at this moment, already beginning to collapse.

And when the giant statue fully emerged, the constantly swirling clouds were like auspicious clouds accompanying it, its nearly thousand-meter height seemingly meant to suppress everything in the world.

Seeing such a scene, everyone involuntarily fell into silence, and who knows how many people's bodies were already trembling at this moment.

Clang—

Finally, a Kumogakure Ninja's kunai dropped from his hand. He looked so lost and helpless.

"It's a lie... How can such a monster exist? What a joke..."

And his emotions quickly spread to others, a feeling of despair, disorientation, and fear interwoven together.

"It's a lie, how is this possible?"

Cold sweat broke out on Darui's forehead at this moment. He failed to understand what was going on.

"Is this the power that pacified the chaotic world? If such power existed, why is there still the current Ninja World?"

Cee and Samui also stared blankly ahead. They seemed utterly unable to comprehend this power.

And they couldn't understand why someone with such power would still allow the current Ninja World to have five great Ninja Villages.

Why didn't he conquer all places at once?

Why did he still let the Kages of war constantly shroud the entire Ninja World?

They had no answer, but they felt extremely close to death right now.

"Hey, get ready to run."

Mei and Deidara were actually stunned as well, but compared to the Kumogakure people, they knew Takemi was on their side.

Therefore, no matter how shocked and incredulous they were, they remained relatively calm.

"Mm, I also think it's time to run."

Deidara nodded blankly. Even with his level of bravery, he knew he should run.
