Raikage A was indeed strong, with a fighting style similar to Linto's.
But because of this, A, who was completely suppressed by Linto, couldn't really hurt Linto.
The key was still Gyuki.
The small plane fired bullets one after another.
Eight bomb-carrying bullets landed on Gyuki's head and chest, accurately covering all vital areas.
The continuous explosions blasted Gyuki into a headless "corpse".
A crack opened on Gyuki's back, and Killer Bee's weak body fell out.
Gyuki's voice appeared in Killer Bee's heart:
"Bee... this is the last thing I can do for you. I can't turn into a Tailed Beast again for a while. Next... run..."
"Run?"
Killer Bee, falling from the air, turned his head laboriously and met Linto, who was charging in with his sword.
There was no anger in Linto's eyes, only great focus. Facing the enemy's past invasion, he was just doing what he should do, just like what he learned in his previous life—
"They can come, so can I."
So, Linto came.
Out of courtesy, he even went to Kirigakure to get the Destruction Sword, just so he could have a peaceful chat with the people of Kumogakure.
Linto felt that it was about enough fighting.
After all, Kumogakure and Ryuuchi Cave were two different things.
But A's "I'd rather die than lose" reminded Linto.
There is such a thing as cultural differences in this world.
Since that's the case...
"Then let's do as the locals do."
Linto held the sword with both hands and instantly caught up with Killer Bee, who had fallen from Gyuki's back. He plunged his left foot into the ground, stopping the momentum of the charge and converting all that power into the force of the swing.
A, who had just been blown away by the tail, reappeared, using his only remaining hand to hold onto the Destruction Sword.
He was ready for the Lightning Release Chakra to explode and the sword to cut off his arm again.
But the explosion didn't happen.
What appeared...
Was a fist bigger than his head.
"Ora!"
Star Platinum punched A in the head.
Even with Lightning Release Chakra protecting him, the punch still made his head buzz, and his whole body froze.
"Ora ora ora ora!"
It wasn't time stop, nor was it Killer Queen's explosion.
Those were too fast.
Linto relied on his iron fists, little by little, in front of Killer Bee, in front of all the ninjas of Kumogakure, to beat the most powerful figure in their hearts...
Completely destroy!
He wanted everyone to see clearly and remember it.
Countless sprays of blood erupted from Raikage A's body, his internal organs were completely shattered. To prevent him from escaping midway, both legs were broken directly, and his lower legs flew out, landing hundreds of meters away.
With an uppercut, A was knocked into the air. Star Platinum narrowed its eyes slightly and clenched its right fist.
This punch would finish him.
Suddenly, with a thud, Killer Bee knelt on the ground.
"We give up! Linto! Please don't kill my brother!"
Star Platinum didn't throw the final punch. A's body crashed heavily to the ground. He roared angrily, "Bee! Begging the enemy for mercy, what are you doing! I'd rather die than have my life saved by my brother kneeling!"
"But brother..."
Killer Bee looked at A, who was nearly crippled, his eyes bloodshot, his gaze filled with despair:
"We can't win!"
Star Platinum quietly disappeared.
Linto looked at Killer Bee: "You want to have a peaceful talk with me?"
"Y-yes."
"But... not yet."
Seeing Linto slowly clench his fist, Killer Bee's heart sank. He saw him punch A in the face.
Crack... click!
Two discs popped out.
Linto collected A's memory and Ninjutsu discs.
"Brother Shou, here you go."
Sasuke walked over with freshly brewed hot tea.
Linto took two cups of tea, took a sip, and handed the other cup to Killer Bee.
"Stand up, now..."
"We can talk now."
Killer Bee looked at the hot tea being offered, and then at his older brother lying on the ground, missing an arm and two legs. He felt a little dazed for a moment, feeling that the scene before him was so absurd that it was like a dream.
Just then, a stack of girls' photos fell out of A's pants, scattered on the ground. These were the partners A had found for Sasuke earlier.
Killer Bee sighed.
What a dream.
Even the most absurd dream can't compare to reality.
"Suddenly... I have inspiration."
Killer Bee thought.
For the first time, he didn't feel happy when inspiration came.
...
The war ended as soon as the tea was brewed.
Kumogakure was defeated by one person.
This was unimaginable news, but it was a fact witnessed by countless people.
Indeed, only the Raikage and the Gyuki Jinchuriki were defeated. Kumogakure still had tens of thousands of ninja troops and many war weapons, but under Linto's burst of speed, not a single Ninjutsu or weapon could hit him.
Even...
The Raikage and the Gyuki Jinchuriki together hadn't forced Linto to use his super-speed regeneration ability.
They couldn't really bet on the truth of the statement "Even if Linto is strong, he can't possibly kill everyone in Kumogakure", could they?
An hour later.
Linto sat in the Raikage Building.
Raikage A was sent for emergency treatment.
With Kumogakure's medical technology and A's physical fitness, saving his life was naturally not difficult.
But the memory and Ninjutsu discs were in Linto's hands. Without Linto's agreement, he would never be able to wake up.
Killer Bee, wrapped in bandages, sat opposite Linto, with Raikage's secretary Mabui and Raikage's guard Darui standing behind him.
Both of them looked very nervous, seemingly afraid that Linto would draw his sword and kill people in a fit of anger.
After a brief silence, Secretary Mabui said, "Mr. Linto, we have clearly understood the purpose of your visit... Kumogakure will prepare compensation for the previous attack on Kirigakure."
Linto shook his head slightly.
"No, compensation is just one aspect. I have three requests."
Linto said, "First, compensation for the personnel and property damage caused by your attack on Kirigakure... we mentioned this just now."
"Second, to add a course to Kumogakure's ninja school, the specific details of which I will send to you."
"Third, to stop the arms race."
After hearing Linto's requests, Killer Bee's face became even worse. He looked around, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Linto, I have no problem with the first and second requests. I can agree to them now. But the third point... I can't agree."
"Kumogakure, or rather, at least one village, must fully develop its military."
After Killer Bee finished speaking, he thought that Linto would be furious—after all, his violent attitude during the previous fight was deeply rooted in people's minds.
Linto only politely asked, "May I ask why?"
In fact, not only Linto, but Darui was also very curious.
Kumogakure seemed to be engaged in an arms race for generations, and every Raikage was a man who would never back down.
What exactly caused this culture to develop?
Killer Bee and Raikage's secretary Mabui exchanged glances and nodded slightly.
Secretary Mabui walked to the cabinet next to the Raikage's desk, took out a document bag from the bottom, and took out a photo, placing it on the table.
The photo seemed to be taken with a telescope. The craters on the moon were all too familiar to Linto.
In one of the craters, a faint human-shaped shadow could be vaguely seen.
Someone on the moon?
Killer Bee reached out and pointed to the photo: "Linto, do you know that the moon didn't exist a long time ago?"
"So..."
Linto's mouth was half open: "You're preparing for war to deal with aliens one day?!"
