Chapter 380: The Naturally Evil Uchiha
In the eyes of outsiders, the brief clash between Uchiha Hikari and Nii Yugito was almost instantaneous, ending as soon as it began.
Hikari merely used her Susanoo ribs to block one of Yugito’s claw strikes. The two locked eyes for a split second before Yugito quickly leaped backward several times, retreating to the side of the Fourth Raikage, A, who had just come to a halt.
The entire process was so fast that people barely had time to react, and few could perceive the underlying details.
As the battle officially commenced, the Hidden Cloud Village’s response was both swift and efficient.
Several elite Ninjas with powerful auras, wearing Hidden Cloud Jonin vests, appeared from various parts of the Village after completing their evacuation tasks. They quickly assembled around the Raikage and Yugito, forming a small defensive formation.
Their expressions were grave and their gazes sharp, firmly locked onto the Naruto and Hikari across from them.
Another group of Ninjas quickly dispersed, conducting a meticulous sweep of the surrounding mountain forests, rock walls, and other areas where enemies or ambushes might be hidden.
Clearly, A had not entirely ignored Naruto’s previous warning about a "third party"; he had passed the message along while having food brought to him.
Further back, near the Village’s defensive fortifications, even more Hidden Cloud Ninjas were busy.
They sat cross-legged around a large device that looked like a cannon, continuously channeling their own Chakra into it.
The core of the device flickered with unstable blue or purple electrical sparks, emitting a low hum as if accumulating destructive energy.
This was a Chakra weapon.
A strategic-level weapon developed by the Hidden Cloud Village by combining Chakra with technology. It wasn’t as powerful as it would be several years later—perhaps not capable of reaching the moon—but it should be sufficient to hit the enemies before them.
Although the Chakra Cannon was slow to start and consumed immense resources, once fully charged, its power was enough to pose a massive threat to Kage-level experts or even Tailed Beasts.
Even Killer Bee, whose arm had just been severed and whose face remained pale, appeared beside those Chakra weapons.
His stump had been treated in an emergency procedure and was wrapped in thick bandages.
At this moment, Killer Bee was channeling the Eight-Tails’ Chakra from within his body through special conduits, continuously feeding it into the Chakra Cannon.
As a perfect Jinchuriki, Killer Bee’s Chakra reserves far exceeded those of ordinary Ninjas. Furthermore, the violent and powerful nature of the Eight-Tails’ Chakra was crucial for accelerating the weapon’s charge and enhancing its final power.
This was the trump card the Hidden Cloud Village prepared to use when facing a desperate situation!
Back to the front lines.
A looked at Yugito, who had retreated to his side. Seeing that she maintained a highly alert posture and was staring sharply at Uchiha Hikari, he couldn’t help but breathe a secret sigh of relief.
It seemed Yugito hadn’t fallen under an Uchiha’s Genjutsu.
To confirm, A lowered his voice and asked quickly:
"What do you think of that Uchiha?"
Yugito didn’t answer immediately. Her gaze remained locked on Hikari, as if evaluating something.
A few seconds later, she finally replied:
"Very strong."
As soon as she spoke, the tail behind Yugito suddenly began to fluctuate violently, like boiling water.
Following that, strands of a deeper blue flame, seemingly from the netherworld, began to seep out from beneath her skin.
Within these flames, black patterns resembling Talismanic Incantations were interspersed—the true form of the Two-Tails.
The single Chakra tail behind her also split into two.
A second blue flame tail, also entwined with black patterns, burst forth from her tailbone area.
Version 2 Tailed Beast Form!
Seeing Yugito enter her combat state, A also immediately focused his mind, concentrating all his attention on the Naruto and Hikari across from them. He knew the coming battle would be even more treacherous.
However, at this delicate moment—just as A and Yugito’s attention was drawn by the powerful enemies, the Hidden Cloud’s defensive formation had just taken shape, and the Chakra weapons in the rear were still charging—
Toroi, who was standing at the edge of the formation and had been vigilantly observing the surroundings, suddenly frowned.
Beside him, Dodai also began to move.
"Not good!"
Alarm bells rang in Toroi’s mind; instinct told him that Dodai moving like this must be for a reason.
He didn’t have time to think carefully or shout a warning.
Almost instinctively, he violently threw the large Square Shuriken he had been clutching, targeting the seemingly empty area between Yugito and the Raikage!
"Swish!"
The Shuriken carried a sharp whistling sound, shooting out like a bolt of black lightning.
At that exact same moment, Yugito, who had been standing by the Raikage and had just entered her Version 2 form, suddenly raised her right hand—covered in blue flame claws—and slashed viciously toward the Raikage beside her.
Clang!
The harsh sound of metal grinding against metal suddenly erupted, sparks flying everywhere.
Yugito’s claws collided violently with the Square Shuriken, producing a tooth-aching screech.
This sudden scene of "internal strife" left everyone on the Hidden Cloud side in disbelief.
The Fourth Raikage A’s pupils constricted even more.
If not for Toroi’s Shuriken, his own neck would likely have been sliced open by Yugito.
But the combat instincts honed through years of war allowed him to make the most direct reaction in that split second.
"Hah!"
A instinctively threw a heavy, powerful straight punch toward the Yugito beside him.
He suspected Yugito might be under the influence of some bizarre Genjutsu or control method.
Heh, those naturally evil Uchiha brats are truly insidious!
At that very moment, the blue Version 2 Chakra cloak completely enveloped Yugito’s body.
She actually used her own body to take the full force of the Raikage’s rushed but incredibly powerful punch.
Boom!
In the dull roar, Yugito’s body swayed slightly and a trace of blood leaked from the corner of her mouth, but she didn’t retreat a single step. Instead, she used her body to firmly "lock" the Raikage’s fist against her defense.
This bizarre scene caused the unease in A’s heart to reach its peak instantly.
And just as A’s fist was "blocked" by Yugito,
A golden figure appeared like a phantom in the air beside A, without any warning.
It was Uzumaki Naruto.
His appearance had no precursor; there was no flash from a Flying Thunder God Kunai.
Because during their earlier contact, he had already placed Flying Thunder God Marks on both of A’s arms.
As for why this guy... it was normal not to see it.
Seizing the opening in A’s defense, Naruto suddenly tucked his knee in mid-air, concentrating his entire body’s strength into it, and then drove it like a heavy hammer into the side of A’s face.
"Konoha Strong Whirlwind!"
