Both Benihime and the Raikage had their rib cages shattered by the dual impacts from Adamantite staff and Tsunade, Minato's dual attack, sending them both hurtling backward. Tsunade gasped, stumbling back as her right hand sizzled and charred; even with the genjutsu active, the passive defense of the Raikage's black lightning cloak had severely burned her flesh down to her muscles. Almost immediately, her Creation Rebirth technique went to work, forcing her cells to divide at a frantic pace to regenerate the damage.
The pain of the shattered ribs forcibly snapped the Raikage out of Jiraiya's genjutsu. He coughed up a pool of blood, though the vitality of his Uzumaki lineage already began dulling the worst of the trauma.
But as he wiped the blood from his mouth and looked to his left, his heart stopped. There lay Beni crumpled on the ground. As primal rage took over him. The air grew heavy, as the hairs on everyone's arms to stand on end. "I will murder every single one of you," he growled.
As his fury peaked, his black lightning cloak began to warp. Strips of pure brilliant white lightning began to weave through his chakra, and the sky above suddenly churned with unnatural storm clouds, drawn to his location.
He stared down the five Konoha shinobi, looking like a god of lightning.
"Don't be so dramatic, Ay. I can use medical ninjutsu, remember?"
The Raikage blinked, the terrifying aura stuttered. He looked down to see Benihime calmly sitting up, a soft green glow enveloping her abdomen as her shattered bones knit themselves back together with ease. She stood up, dusting off her clothes. "Come here, let me heal you, too."
"Ohh..." The Raikage let out a comical, deflated sound of surprise, his murderous tension evaporating into bewilderment.
But as he looked down at his hands, the strange black and white colored chakra continued to flicker on his skin. "This power... I feel like I am right on the verge of awakening something new."
"I usually combine Yin release and Lightning release to achieve the Black Lightning," he analyzed. "But that hint of white chakra... it's likely a manifestation of Yang release, drawn out by my Uzumaki vitality. If I can stabilize this balance..."
Across the field, Mito Uzumaki's eyes widened in sheer panic as she recognized the nature change of the Raikage's chakra.
"Don't let him discover his new power!" she screamed to the others. "Attack him now!"
~~
The signal flare burst at the distant sky, a light confirming what the Kumo wanted: the Uchiha clan had successfully broken through and escaped.
The Raikage turned slowly toward the five Konoha shinobi. "I'd love to stay and keep myself entertained," he scoffed, "but I have a war to fight. If you really want to break the peace treaty, be my guest and try it. I actually wanted to say a final goodbye to your Hokage, but it looks like he's too terrified to even show his face."
With a nod, he turned on his heel. "Let's go, Beni."
None of the leaf shinobi dared to move or launch a desperate attack; they simply stood frozen, breathing a collective sigh of relief as the imposing duo walked away.
Mito watched his retreating back, her expression thoughtful. "If he ever manages to perfect the Kekkei Tōta, he'll get remarkably close to my husband's peak," she noted quietly.
As the Raikage and Benihime vanished from sight, Danzo finally arrived on the scene, his face twisted in irritation. His grand plan had hit a massive snag; he had completely lost his grip on Blue B, Sakumo, Kagami, and Dan.
While most of his reanimated guards hadn't resisted his commands, the prize pieces of his Edo Tensei army were slipped away because he was not strong to hold control over 7 of them. Even though he technically still held the control over Hiruzen and Mito, Fugaku and Mikoto had hit Sakumo, Kagami, and Dan with a Genjutsu so incredibly potent that Danzo couldn't override it to reclaim control.
"That brat of a Raikage attacked us not once, not twice, but four times while we are actively under a peace treaty!" Danzo spat, his voice trembling with rage.
Yet, around them, the village barely reacted. Konoha had become so thoroughly accustomed to sudden tragedies and explosive destruction that a skirmish like this didn't even draw a crowd.
Mito turned her gaze toward Danzo. "Even if you've lost the reins on Sakumo and the others, we can't risk anyone else seizing them. Undo the Reanimation Jutsu. Now."
"I already have," Danzo snapped back defensively. "We will just reanimate them again when the time is right."
~~
Meanwhile, further away from the village borders, the Uchiha couples finally crossed paths with Kumo couple. Thanks to some timely assistance from Might Duy, Fugaku and Mikoto had successfully managed to completely suppress and restrain the thrashing, reanimated bodies of Sakumo, Dan, and Kagami.
The Raikage approached, as he placed his massive hand down onto Fugaku's shoulder. "Good, excellent! So you've finally seen reason and decided to join Kumo."
Benihime stepped forward, her sharp eyes narrowed locking onto their faces. "It seems you both have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan," she observed coolly. To the upper echelon of the other great nations, the legendary eyes weren't a myth... Madara's legacy had ensured they knew exactly what devastating power looked like.
Right at that moment, the bodies of Sakumo, Dan, and Kagami started to crumble as the jutsu was undone.
Benihime let out a dry chuckle. "Well, they have at least an ounce of intellect left in them. They'll just try to reanimate them back later."
Fugaku looked up, his expression grim as he held out his hand to reveal a gruesome prize. "Hiashi fought against the Uchiha and slaughtered quite a few of our shinobi," Fugaku said. "In return, we took both of his Byakugan but he ran away before we could kill him and we did not see the need to go after him. I hope this will show our good will to Kumo."

A/N: The Raikage was moments away from attaining an almighty power [Yin release and Yang release to overpowered, this is not yin-yang release for your information.] but Beni stopped him from going rogue.
And let's go one more pair of Byakugan and give your thanks to the Byakugan provider [hiashi]
