Part Time Employee in Konoha-Chapter 261: The Fall of Cloud Village

This guy...

When did he come in?

The higher-ups of the Cloud Village stared with wide eyes.

A stranger had sneaked into the heavily guarded Cloud Village, into the Raikage's office, and not only did he stealthily eat the apples in the office, but he also picked and chose among the fruits!

And even...

Even after being discovered, he still acted so nonchalant?

"Who... who is this guy?"

The Fourth Raikage's guard, Darui, was sweating.

"Let me introduce myself."

The intruder put down the apple core and leaned back on the sofa: "I am the Wood Release ninja you are looking for, Akihara Kagura."

"I just heard you discussing me..."

Akihara Kagura glanced at the higher-ups of the Cloud Village, as if he didn't take them seriously at all: "You people from the Cloud Village always act so despicably, whenever you see something from another village, you think of using sinister means to take it..."

"What did you say!"

The Fourth Raikage clenched his fist.

"Isn't that so?"

Akihara Kagura looked at the Fourth Raikage and stated the facts: "You once tried to seize the Kekkei Genkai of the Uzumaki clan from the Konoha Village, tried to seize the Byakugan from the Konoha Village, and now you want to take the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai. Whatever the Konoha Village has, you want to take..."

These events actually happened.

The ninjas from the Cloud Village once tried to kidnap Uzumaki Kushina from the Uzumaki clan of the Konoha Village to uncover the secrets of the Jinchuriki but were stopped by Minato; later, they tried to abduct Hyuga Hinata from the Hyuga clan of the Konoha Village with evil intentions, which was eventually stopped by Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga clan, but the Cloud Village still tried to frame them...

Moreover,

There were also incidents in the ninja world where the Cloud Village had stolen secret techniques.

The Cloud Village was indeed greedy.

Many people in the ninja world were deceived by the appearance of the Cloud Village, thinking they were straightforward and trustworthy, but in reality, they often had the mentality of robbers.

"I'm curious about one thing..."

Akihara Kagura held his head and asked mockingly: "Were the founders of the Cloud Village a bunch of robbers and scum?"

"You bastard, what did you say!"

A powerful chakra burst forth from the Fourth Raikage, instantly entering Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his body flashing with electricity, charging towards Akihara Kagura like a bolt of blue lightning!

"Lightning Oppression Horizontal!"

The Raikage's arm suddenly rose, and a powerful hand chop aimed at Akihara Kagura's body, intending to crush this foul-mouthed bastard!

"Are you so angry because I told the truth?"

Akihara Kagura raised his arm, and his chakra exploded, blocking the Raikage's hand chop: "I heard you plotting to take my Wood Release Kekkei Genkai with my own ears. It seems the descendants of robbers and scum are no better, failing to steal from others and still pretending to be the victims, considering their thieving ways to be justified..."

"Argh!"

The Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release chakra exploded again, high-intensity currents and chakra streams swirling around him!

In the ninja world...

Who had ever dared to speak to him like this?

Even former enemies wouldn't dare to anger a Kage this way!

Although what Akihara Kagura said was true, how could he dare to insult a Kage like this, how could he dare to humiliate the Cloud Village!

"This bastard..."

The other higher-ups of the Cloud Village also began to lose their composure.

"Are you mad?"

Akihara Kagura's single sentence further incited the Fourth Raikage's fury, making him lose his composure and charge at Akihara Kagura with his other arm raised!

Bang!

Akihara Kagura kicked the Fourth Raikage in the chest, sending him flying into the crowd of Cloud Village Jonin!

"Lord Raikage!"

A group of Jonin hurriedly tried to help the Raikage up.

"Kill him!"

The Fourth Raikage got up again, charging towards Akihara Kagura at terrifying speed, enhanced by his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his speed rivaling even that of Minato, so fast that many sensory ninjas in the ninja world couldn't keep up with him!

However...

A golden flash moved even faster!

Akihara Kagura and the Fourth Raikage collided instantly!

Boom!

A shockwave erupted from the area where they clashed, sweeping through the entire Raikage's office. The large floor-to-ceiling window of the office shattered abruptly, sending countless glass shards falling from the air!

Crack... crack...

Cracks began to appear continuously on the ground!

"How is this possible..."

Darui watched in disbelief as Akihara Kagura and the Fourth Raikage fought on equal terms. He couldn't believe what he was seeing: "That guy can actually compete with Lord Raikage in physical combat!"

Not only that!

He was even more terrifying than the Fourth Raikage!

Akihara Kagura's speed was faster than the Fourth Raikage's!

Just as the Fourth Raikage raised his fist to strike, Akihara Kagura's figure disappeared before his eyes. This scene felt incredibly familiar to the Fourth Raikage!

"Flying Thunder God..."

The Fourth Raikage recalled the opponent he had encountered in his youth, the Fourth Hokage Minato, but he quickly realized and his pupils contracted: "No, this speed is even faster than that guy's!"

In the next moment, Akihara Kagura appeared beside him, raising his arm and striking the Fourth Raikage's neck, slamming him to the ground with sudden force!

Boom!

A large hole appeared in the Raikage's office!

The Fourth Raikage was directly thrown down by Akihara Kagura!

The other Jonin from the Cloud Village could no longer stand by. Sensing that their Raikage might not be able to defeat the enemy in this battle, they quickly moved forward to support!

"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!"

Vines and tree roots emerged from the ground!

Darui drew his ninja sword, and with the sound of electricity, he cut through a vine, but more vines surged toward him, and the ninjas of the Cloud Village were slowly being bound by the vines!

A towering tree appeared above the Raikage Building in the Cloud Village.

Vines spread from this giant tree, extending to every corner of the Cloud Village. Trees also began to grow within the village, binding every passing Cloud Ninja to the trees, quickly absorbing their chakra.

In an instant.

The entire Cloud Village, built on a high mountain, turned into a forest.

Valley of Clouds and Lightning.

This canyon near the Cloud Village housed the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee. After the disappearance of the Two-Tails Jinchuriki following an encounter with members of the Akatsuki organization, the Fourth Raikage ordered the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee to stay in Valley of Clouds and Lightning to train, to avoid being captured by the Akatsuki.

As a perfect Jinchuriki, Killer Bee had a very carefree personality, getting along well with the Eight-Tails sealed within him. They had a relationship of mutual understanding and trust.

No.

Strictly speaking...

Killer Bee's personality should be described as lively.

This Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was very active, always enjoying rapping and other songs, to the extent that he occasionally spoke in rhymes and even held rap concerts, though the audience was mostly his close students.

"Let's fill in some lyrics first..."

Killer Bee, after training for a while, seemed to have a musical inspiration and took out a small notebook he carried with him, seriously writing down his lyrics.

"Bee!"

The Eight-Tails inside him immediately called out to its host, reminding in a deep voice: "Something doesn't feel right. I suddenly sensed a terrifying chakra..."

"Terrifying?"

Killer Bee raised his arm, striking an exaggerated pose: "Let me think, how to show a terrifying move at the concert..."

"Idiot!"

The Eight-Tails hurriedly cursed him, speaking gravely: "This chakra's aura is more terrifying than the First Hokage Hashirama whom I once encountered..."

"Bee-sensei!"

A rapid voice came over!

A blonde female ninja leapt towards Killer Bee, shouting loudly: "Something big happened in the village, go and check it out quickly!"

This was Killer Bee's student, Samui.

Because Samui had always been responsible for liaising with Killer Bee and the Cloud Village, she and her teammates returned to the village, only to find it transformed into a primeval forest. Her two remaining teammates volunteered to investigate the situation but were immediately captured by vines emerging from the forest and bound to trees. Only Samui managed to escape.

Naturally.

The first person Samui thought of was her teacher.

"What happened?"

Killer Bee curiously looked at his student, pondering the biggest trouble for him: "Did my big brother... get angry again? I won't go! I'd rather die than go!"

"You... should go take a look..."

Despair was evident in Samui's eyes.

When Killer Bee and Samui arrived at the Cloud Village, they saw that the village, once standing tall on a mountain, was now covered by forest trees. He began to sweat in fear, as the Eight-Tails within him also informed him of the situation.

"This is Wood Release..."

The Eight-Tails, sealed inside Killer Bee, was even more terrified than Killer Bee: "Hashirama's Wood Release, the terrifying enemy I sense is in there..."

This primeval forest reminded the Eight-Tails of its past, a deep-seated fear resurfacing as it recalled being effortlessly captured by Hashirama Senju's Wood Release without any ability to resist. Despite being suppressed by successive Raikages over the years, the Eight-Tails still saw a vast disparity compared to Hashirama...

The ancient fear gradually resurfaced...

"Charge in!"

Swords emerged from their sheaths in Killer Bee's hands, and octopus tentacles suddenly sprouted from his back!

This was the power lent to him by the Eight-Tails!

The swords were wrapped in octopus tentacles!

Killer Bee charged directly into the forest. Despite knowing the forest concealed dangers and terrifying enemies, he could not afford to hesitate!

Vines surged towards Killer Bee, but he wielded his swords, cutting them down with his exceptional swordsmanship!

"Use the Tailed Beast Ball directly!"

The Eight-Tails suggested a method to clear the forest!

"That's not feasible..."

Killer Bee's eyes darted around. Seeing his fellow Cloud ninja bound in the forest, he refused the Eight-Tails' proposal.

Because...

There were still companions from the Cloud Village here.

However, Killer Bee's swordsmanship couldn't hold out for long!

Boom!

The Cloud Forest trembled!

A massive bull-headed octopus appeared in the forest, with Killer Bee having entered Tailed Beast Mode. The colossal bull-headed octopus rampaged through the forest!

A wooden dragon emerged from the forest, coiling around the bull-headed octopus and instantly absorbing its chakra!

Inside the Raikage's office.

The office had already been pierced by a towering giant tree.

Standing under the tree, Akihara Kagura felt the chakra absorbed into his body. Looking at the Fourth Raikage bound to the tree before him, he asked routinely: "Tell me, when did the Cloud Village collude with the Akatsuki organization? Where are the secret techniques the Cloud Village has stolen over the years?"

"We would never stoop to colluding with that group of rats!"

The Fourth Raikage, exhausted, still roared angrily: "You bastard, daring to invade the Cloud Village, I will never let you go!"

"Lord Raikage..."

Darui lowered his head slightly.

From the elevated position of the Raikage's office, it was clear that the entire Cloud Village was surrounded by Wood Release. If the high-ranking ninjas of the village couldn't resist, what chance did the other ninjas have?

To be rational...

The entire Cloud Village had fallen.

It was completely overrun by the enemy without any resistance.

This was the darkest hour for the Cloud Village, even more terrifying than when the Third Raikage was killed in battle, or when the untamed Eight-Tails rampaged through the village!

"Lord Akihara Kagura..."

The Fourth Raikage's secretary, Mabui, looked at Akihara Kagura and asked: "Lord Kagura, do you intend to destroy the Cloud Village?"

Mabui, the Raikage's secretary, was the most rational and calm person in the Cloud Village, often mediating tensions between the Raikage and his subordinates. She sought to understand the situation with the enemy at this moment, hoping to find a reason for the Cloud Village's continued existence.

"Mabui, the ninjas of the Cloud Village will never submit!"

The Fourth Raikage snorted and rebuked his secretary.

"Lord Raikage, calm down."

Akihara Kagura raised his hand, and a vine completely gagged the Fourth Raikage to prevent him from interfering. He looked at Mabui: "First, hand over the evidence of your collusion with the Akatsuki organization..."

"Apologies."

Mabui shook her head and softly explained: "Lord Kagura, the Cloud Village has never had any contact with the Akatsuki organization."

"This can be arranged..."

Akihara Kagura tapped his finger on his arm.

Mabui sighed helplessly.
