Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents.

Chapter 278: Chapter 278: The Frustrated Scorpion and Deidara



Splash!

Fragments of shattered rocks continuously slid into the lake.

Killer Bee slowly climbed out of the debris.

His clothes were torn in several places, making him look like a completely different person from his earlier confident self.

And now, Killer Bee fully understood.

The Sasuke in front of him!

This kid in front of him!

He was not someone to be taken lightly.

Taijutsu!

It was unbelievably monstrous. Sasuke's attacks were not just strong although his strength was terrifying but Killer Bee had the Eight-Tails' chakra protecting him.

Even if such attacks could hurt him, they weren't a major issue.

However, what was terrifying was Sasuke's suppressive taijutsu.

It was even more fearsome than his elder brother's.

It wasn't just about the advantage brought by speed and strength.

It was pure, insanely refined taijutsu techniques.

No matter the attack, Sasuke could instantly counter it while simultaneously suppressing him with a counterstrike.

Killer Bee was constantly in a purely defensive state, forced to take hits.

Even though Sasuke's speed was on par with his, Killer Bee felt as though he could never resist Sasuke's attacks.

This sensation was like sinking into a swamp, a deep sense of powerlessness that made resistance futile!

"This little monster, where the hell did he come from?!"

Killer Bee's gaze toward Sasuke had changed drastically.

Sasuke stretched lazily, exhaling softly.

"What's the matter? Is that all you've got?"

"You're the mighty Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. You can't be this weak, right?"

Sasuke asked with a grin.

At this moment, Killer Bee's face was serious, completely ignoring Sasuke's taunts.

Considering Killer Bee's personality, it was difficult to anger him to the point where his emotions would be affected.

After all, if he couldn't maintain a calm state of mind, he wouldn't be able to become a perfect Jinchuriki.

Seeing no response from his opponent, Sasuke continued speaking.

"Then next! I'll fight you in a different way!"

Sasuke clapped his hands together.

At the same time, the wood clones that had been hiding around the lake began to act.

Four red beams of light shot into the sky, completely enclosing the vast lake along with the surrounding rocky terrain.

At that moment, Sasuke also heard the system's voice.

[Congratulations to the host for mastering a new barrier ninjutsu.]

[Four Red Yang Formation (Beginner).]

Seeing the red barrier rise, Killer Bee was stunned!

This... this is...

He was all too familiar with this technique, but the problem was that it required four Kage-level ninjas to perform.

And yet...

Could it be that four Kage-level ninjas had come just to deal with him?

Impossible!

If such powerful figures had arrived in the Hidden Cloud Village, his elder brother wouldn't be oblivious.

Of course, the situation had already been detected.

However, the Fourth Raikage was currently on the other side of the village, battling Deidara and Sasori, who had infiltrated the Hidden Cloud.

One puppet after another was being violently destroyed by the Fourth Raikage.

Deidara's explosive clay was being countered by Lightning Release, rendering it unable to detonate. After all, this was the Hidden Cloud Village!

Although not every Cloud ninja used Lightning Release, most of the Jonin had mastered it.

Countering Deidara's explosive clay was completely natural.

The two Akatsuki members, whose combat power was on par with Kage-level, were now being beaten into a desperate situation.

Not only was the Fourth Raikage attacking them, but a group of Cloud ninjas was also joining the fight.

The battle had brought Deidara and Sasori to the brink of destruction.

At this moment, Sasori was deep in thought.

The Fourth Raikage, along with so many Cloud ninjas and even the Two-Tails Jinchuriki such a formation was something the two of them couldn't handle.

If not for Sasori's puppets shielding against close combat and Deidara using explosive clay to inflict significant damage on the Cloud ninjas, they would have been killed long ago.

Now, with the Fourth Raikage getting serious, the pressure had doubled.

If this continued, the two of them might not survive the day.

And at this time, where exactly was Sasuke Uchiha?

In a moment of clarity, Sasori seemed to realize Sasuke's objective.

Sasuke was undoubtedly in the Hidden Cloud Village. That was certain. But with the Fourth Raikage fighting them, Sasuke's target couldn't be the Raikage.

The only other person in the Hidden Cloud Village worth Sasuke's attention was the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki!

So, was his target the Eight-Tails?

Sasori gritted his teeth in hatred toward Sasuke. Not only had Sasuke targeted the Eight-Tails, but he had also used Sasori and Deidara as bait to divert the entire Hidden Cloud Village's attention.

Despicable...

As the Fourth Raikage approached with an overwhelming aura, Sasori furrowed his brows.

By now, Sasori had already been forced to use his puppet body. If it were destroyed, he'd be in serious trouble.

"Fourth Raikage!"

"Don't you want to know our purpose?"

"Our objective is indeed the tailed beasts!"

Having just dealt with two Cloud ninjas, Deidara looked at Sasori in disbelief. Was Sasori betraying the Akatsuki at this critical moment?

No! It wasn't about loyalty to the Akatsuki. Sasori wasn't the type to fear death so easily he wouldn't have joined the Akatsuki otherwise.

After all, every Akatsuki member was tough.

Even if their abilities were lacking, their attitudes were unyielding.

'What is this guy talking about?'

"Our target... Do you think it's merely the Two-Tails?"

Hearing this, the Fourth Raikage's gaze flickered.

If their target wasn't the Two-Tails, then...

Suddenly, the Fourth Raikage turned to look toward the other side of the village.

"Damn it! This is bad!"

The other Cloud ninjas didn't understand what was going on.

Startled by the Raikage's sudden reaction, they were left stunned.

The Raikage wasted no time explaining, immediately turning and sprinting toward the lake where Killer Bee was.

"Take care of these two! Make sure to capture them!"

With these words, the Fourth Raikage disappeared into the distance.

Watching the Raikage leave like the wind, Sasori finally let out a sigh of relief.

Although the remaining Cloud ninjas and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki were still troublesome, at least it wasn't a certain-death scenario anymore.

Even if they couldn't complete their mission, they now had a chance to escape.

At this moment, Sasori looked in the direction where the Fourth Raikage had vanished.

'Sasuke Uchiha! Good luck!'

'Hmph! Dare to use us? Now you can enjoy the show yourself!'

'The Fourth Raikage... and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. Let's see how you survive this...'
