"How is this possible!"
A turned his head suddenly.
He saw the Ruin Greatsword whistling past, sending many ninjas flying.
In just a few seconds, the Ninjutsu squad's formation was broken.
Skilled in Ninjutsu, but with average physical skills, the so-called Genin, Chunin, and Jonin were not very different to Linto...
When you are cutting a cake, do you deliberately distinguish whether you are cutting cream, bread, or fruit?
Linto did not press the attack, but quietly looked at Fourth Raikage, A.
Seeing his beloved subordinates being knocked away like trash, A's eyes were bloodshot with anger.
But with the responsibility of being a Kage, he kept his cool and shouted:
"Everyone, retreat!"
A didn't know how Linto did it, being able to close the distance in an instant, which was a bit like the Fourth Hokage's space-time Ninjutsu.
Linto, who possessed this ability, would be wasted if people just threw their lives at him.
As the Raikage, he was the strongest in the village, and he had long been prepared to fight Linto one-on-one.
Next, it would be...
King against king!
A clenched his fists, his whole body surging with blue lightning, entering Lightning Release Chakra mode.
This was Kumogakure's signature Ninjutsu.
By concentrating Lightning Release Chakra throughout the body, it covered the body with Chakra and lightning, which could activate the body and allow him to use Lightning Flash.
Defense, attack, nerve reaction speed... it could be said that overall ability was comprehensively improved.
The more Lightning Release Chakra one had, the greater the improvement.
Fourth Raikage A's Chakra level was comparable to a Tailed Beast. When he used his full power, his hair stood on end, and he moved as fast as lightning.
Back during the Third Shinobi World War, A's burst of speed could even match Namikaze Minato's Flying Thunder God over short distances.
He took a step, and the thunder in the air roared, as if the concept of "distance" had disappeared.
A rushed forward.
"Your idea of intimidating us with the White Snake Sage's head is good, but you made a fatal mistake!"
"The men of Kumogakure never know what fear is!"
Linto frowned slightly, a little confused by A's thinking.
What intimidation?
While thinking, the Raikage arrived in front of him, raising his huge right fist.
Linto had to admit that in terms of pure speed, A was indeed faster than him.
But—
"Time, stop flowing."
Linto took out the iron ball.
This iron ball had been touched by Killer Queen before the fight started.
Linto, using the not-yet-skilled Golden Spin, swung his arm and threw it at A.
The iron ball flew through the space where time was stopped, stopping less than five centimeters in front of A.
To maintain Killer Queen's power, there were still 4 seconds of time stop left.
In those four seconds, Linto and Star Platinum unleashed hundreds of attacks on the Raikage.
"Time, start flowing again."
Bang!
The Raikage, who had been aggressive and punching in the last second, suddenly had his Lightning Release Chakra armor shatter.
There was a slight cracking sound, and hundreds of bones in his body cracked, and...
A metal iron ball was spinning towards him.
The speed of the iron ball wasn't very fast, but it had a strange spin.
A's eyes widened, and his body, honed for decades, burst out with a strong survival instinct.
Touching this thing... meant death!
He tried his best to dodge, no, just tilting his head slightly would be enough.
But, A couldn't move at all!
He didn't know what had happened in that "instant". The cracking of Lightning Release armor meant that a huge amount of damage had been absorbed by the armor, and even the aftershocks had caused extensive damage to his muscles and bones.
"If I can just dodge this attack, give me a little time to rest... and I can use Lightning Release Chakra to reactivate my body..."
However, just like humans cannot overcome the corrosion of sulfuric acid with willpower,
A's injuries had exceeded the scope that his will could solve.
Killer Queen appeared behind Linto, its thumb raised slightly.
As soon as the iron ball touched Ai, it would instantly detonate the bomb.
Several octopus tentacles suddenly stretched out.
One grabbed A and pulled him back.
The other tentacles served as shields, stacked layer upon layer in front of the iron ball.
Crack—
Killer Queen pressed the trigger.
The octopus tentacles exploded like bursting balloons, starting from the point of contact with the iron ball!
The silent explosion quickly spread backward.
"Cut it off! Cut it off quickly!"
Killer Bee and Gyuki were a perfectly coordinated Jinchuriki, reacting almost instinctively, finally cutting off the connection to the tentacles in the last second before the explosion reached his butt.
Killer Bee broke out in a cold sweat.
Almost!
Almost his butt would have been gone!
Even if he had been a little slower, he would have turned to ashes along with the disappearing octopus tentacles.
"Bee! Never touch anything he throws!"
Gyuki's voice appeared in Killer Bee's mind:
"The Chakra-formed tentacles collapsed in an instant and disappeared."
Death on touch.
What kind of ability was this?!
Kumogakure had already collected a thick stack of information about Linto.
Every time they thought they knew enough about Linto, they found him pulling out new, unknown powers.
Buzz... buzz...
Lightning Release Chakra once again spread throughout A's body, forcibly controlling his injured body to stand up, and he wiped the blood from his mouth:
"You do have some ability."
Killer Bee licked his dry lips, and really wanted to say, "Brother, stop pretending."
But when he and A looked at each other, he understood his brother's meaning.
"The enemy is tricky, use your full power."
Killer Bee put away his swords.
Tailed Beast Chakra was released, and in a blink of an eye, he entered Tailed Beast mode.
A giant bull with octopus tentacles appeared.
The eight octopus tentacles swept around, using skill to throw the surrounding Kumogakure ninjas far away.
The battlefield became empty, leaving only the A and Bee brothers to fight Linto.
Gyuki looked down at Linto from above, releasing a strong, wild, and fierce Chakra wave. The birds and beasts that had followed Linto all the way lowered their bodies fearfully, trembling, the terrifying pressure making it difficult to breathe.
Linto caught the iron ball that automatically returned to him as it spun.
He thought for a moment and put the iron ball away.
Relying on a half-baked iron ball that hadn't even reached the Lesson-1 level to deal with the enemy in front of him was a bit too difficult, and too... impolite.
"Aerosmith"
The small plane appeared, hovering on Linto's shoulder.
A cautiously stared at Linto, and when Aerosmith appeared, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Kumogakure's intelligence had a description of the small plane.
This was an ability that was more inclined to high-altitude reconnaissance, with some firepower, but for A and Gyuki, this firepower was not to be feared.
A snorted:
"Heh—are you so scared by Gyuki's power that you're fleeing in panic?"
"Bee, use continuous Tailed Beast Ball bombardment. I'll use the gaps in your bombardment to find an opportunity to attack."
A didn't know why his Lightning Release Chakra collapsed, and he didn't know how Linto had "zoomed" hundreds of meters into the Ninjutsu squad's formation.
But it was clear that this ability could not be used quickly and continuously.
A wanted to use continuous Tailed Beast Balls to force Linto to use that move, and then use the gap while the ability was cooling down to use Instant Transmission and kill Linto.
"Oh! Brother, I understand!"
Killer Bee opened his mouth, condensing a Tailed Beast Ball in his mouth. With less than half a second of charging, dozens of small Tailed Beast Balls were continuously spat out, covering all the directions Linto could dodge.
But looking at that small plane, Killer Bee still felt a faint unease.
"Would Linto... flee in panic?"
Suddenly, Killer Bee saw the bomb bay under Aerosmith open.
Killer Queen's hand reached in, touching the chain of bullets.
"Da da da da—"
Dense bullets sprayed out.
Aerosmith was equipped with two machine guns.
The machine guns had a firing rate of 1200~1500 rounds/minute, and a muzzle velocity of 610 meters per second.
The distance between Linto and Gyuki was less than a hundred meters.
Even if Killer Queen could only deploy one bomb at a time, even if each deployment took about half a second, and with two Stand users, Linto could only keep them both active for 3-4 seconds at a time...
But... it was enough.
The bullets blasted through the Tailed Beast Ball blockade, and the subsequent bullets carrying bombs continued forward, bombing Gyuki's massive body.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of silent explosions reverberated in the depths of their souls.
