Naruto : Cruel Rebirth

The lightning came from all directions but was shattered by the overwhelming repulsive force. The force sent the ground flying and hurled the Kumogakure ninjas who had cast the technique into the air!

"Ugh!" 

"Did he just deflect Lightning Walk? How did he do that?" 

—Shinra Tensei! 

Whoosh! 

Five seconds later, the second repulsive force hit, sending them flying farther away, and rendering them completely unable to fight...

As Naruto used Shinra Tensei more, he became confident in its power. A jonin level ninja would typically feel intense pain after a single hit, and two hits would knock them down, leaving them unable to continue fighting, but they wouldn't die from it.

Under the cracked wall of the Raikage's mansion, Tsuchidai had used Lava Release to create an elastic protective barrier just before the second Shinra Tensei, shielding himself!

He was confused, thinking, "What just happened? It seemed like both the Ninjutsu and the user casting it were both repelled by the force centered on him. Does this mean that physical and Ninjutsu attacks are completely useless against him?"

Peering through the gap in the shield, he saw the Kumogakure jonin scattered across the ground, unable to move.

"Earlier, there was a small opening between his two uses of the technique. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had time to create this protective shield. It seems like his ability isn't completely flawless..." 

Naruto glanced around, then flared his fire cloud cloak and walked toward the mansion's main gate.

Dodai's gaze flickered. "I misjudged. I thought that, since he was able to approach us quietly, he and his companions were probably not very powerful. That's why I divided our main forces to deal with his disruptive companions, but it seems that's not the case..."

"If there's a gap in the interval between uses of that repulsion technique, maybe I can find an opportunity..."

After a brief but careful analysis, Dodai opened the protective shield further and extended his hand.

Naruto casually glanced over and said, "Stop, Uncle Dodai. Your technique won't protect you the second time..." 

Crack! 

Dodai's outstretched hand froze suddenly, cold sweat dripping down his face.

He had been completely seen through; their strength wasn't even on the same level. Who exactly is this guy?

Rustle!

The shield was deactivated, and Tsuchidai cautiously asked, "Raikage-sama is not in the village right now."

Naruto replied, "Of course I know that." 

Dodai eyes narrowed, "What do you want?"

Naruto smiled and asked, "What, can you satisfy my request?"

Tsuchidai's eyes flickered, "You can try saying it. Maybe we can make a deal."

"We're ninjas, let's not joke around..."

Naruto turned his gaze away and said nothing. 

Whoosh! 

A gust of wind rose from beneath his feet, and his body defied gravity, floating into the sky!

Dodai's eyes followed as his gaze rose: He didn't use a technique like Tsuchikage Onoki's, which makes the body as light as a feather, or the previous Kazekage Rasa's flying platform made from sand and gold. Could it be... that his repulsion ability is actually controlling a 'force field'?

Naruto, having become more skilled in controlling his Rinnegan, was now able to manipulate force fields, overcome gravity, and fly—something only possible after obtaining the Six Paths power in his past life!

Floating in the air, Naruto flicked his sleeves. 

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! 

Four black rods flew precisely and stuck into the Raikage mansion's surroundings.

Swish! Naruto made a hand seal with two fingers in front of his chest. 

——Four Purple Flame Formation, Enhanced! 

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Purple flames burst from the black rods, rapidly growing and forming a large flame barrier, isolating the Raikage's mansion from the outside world! Outside the barrier, the platform gasped, 

"One person used the enhanced version of the Four Purple Flame Formation!! Are you a rogue ninja from Konohagakure who joined Akatsuki?!" 

"It's not Akatsuki, it's Light Akatsuki... This is important, so I hope you can distinguish between them." 

Inside the barrier, Naruto spoke lightly without turning back, then raised his hand! Boom! The roof of the Raikage's mansion collapsed, and Naruto dropped inside! 

Boom! Boom! Boom! Kumogakure was in chaos. 

Jugo, Suigetsu, Konan, Kisame, Orochimaru... each used their best ninjutsu to battle Kumogakure's elites, buying time for Naruto! 

... 

In the jungle on the border of the Land of Thunder and the Land of Waves, Raikage and Killer Bee were resting. 

"Bee, this time we narrowly escaped with our lives, purely because they wanted to capture the Jinchuriki. If I had come a little later, the consequences would have been unimaginable." 

"For these years, they've been acting secretly. The Jinchuriki from Sunagakure, Kirigakure, and Iwagakure have all fallen victim to their attacks. The Jinchuriki from Konohagakure defected, and their whereabouts are unknown. As you can imagine, they will definitely target you next. From now on, stay in the village!" 

"Old man~~ idiot~~ bastard~~!" Killer Bee shook his head, uninterested. 

Raikage rolled his eyes in frustration, "Hey, damn Bee, I'm talking about serious matters!!" 

Clang!! 

After taking a punch from Raikage, Killer Bee became much more serious. 

*Sigh* Raikage sighed helplessly, "Alright, fine. As long as you stay in the village, I'll have 'Samui' accompany you at all times." 

Killer Bee's eyes lit up behind his sunglasses, and he stopped singing, "At all times, including at night?" 

Raikage shook his head and smiled, "Hmph, that depends on your ability! This kind of thing needs to be mutual, you can't do anything that would disgrace a ninja!" 

Crack! 

A flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky above Raikage's head. 

Raikage looked up and caught it with his bare hands. 

"Thunderclap, what happened in the village?" 

The lightning disappeared, and a panicked voice sounded in Raikage's mind. 

"The village is under attack, hurry back!" 

Swish! Raikage leapt to his feet. 

Killer Bee: "Big brother..." 

Raikage spoke to the back, "Mabui, prepare the Heaven-Sent Technique!!" 

Mabui stood up, "What's going on?" 

Raikage: "The village is under attack!" 

The ninjas around them: "What? Who did this?!" 

Raikage coldly said, "The only ones with the guts to do this in the current ninja world are Akatsuki! Just after we rescued Bee, the village was attacked. If it's not Akatsuki, who else could it be?" 

Everyone in Kumogakure grew tense. They had all heard about the aftermath of Akatsuki's attack on Konohagakure. Every ninja regarded Akatsuki as a great threat! 

Raikage told Bee, "I have to return to the village immediately..." 

Understanding the seriousness of the situation, Killer Bee said seriously, "Big brother, don't worry, I won't sneak off to have fun this time. You just go back to the village and take care of the enemies!" 

Raikage smiled with relief, "Good, I'll crush those bastards from Akatsuki and wait for you in the village!" 

The two brothers laughed and bumped fists. 

"Raikage-sama, please enter the technique!" 

Mabui was ready with the Heaven-Sent Technique. 

Crack! 

Raikage, covered in his lightning armor, stepped into the technique circle. This was necessary to receive the Heaven-Sent Technique, or his body would be torn apart during the high-speed teleportation! 

Mabui closed her eyes and formed hand seals. 

——Ninjutsu: Heavenly Transmission! Whoosh!!

With the light of Heavenly Transmission, Raikage disappears from the scene.

Darui sighs, "The ninja world really is going through a lot these days. We'd better get back quickly…"

Whoosh! At that moment, an ominous black vortex stirs through space, followed by a cold greeting.

"Hey, nice to meet you, Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee." 

Obito, hidden behind his mask, coldly scans the cautious ninjas in front of him.

"Raikage isn't here? That actually saves me a lot of trouble…"
